"THE BANK ROBBERY"

In the last Press there was quite o
lengthy communication signed "Why,"
asking number of questions concerning
the Bank Robbery. If the correspondent
had not changed his signature from "Par-
agoric" to "Why" probably many more
would know who he is.
It has been we'll advertised throughout
this community that "Why" lost two or
three hundred dollars by the robbery and
feels very bad about it. No doubt but he
handled many "snag" and worried over
many "gum" to make the amount he
had deposited. He says, Alec Heck says
Ream stole the money. Why does he not
have the manhood to come forward and
say Ream stole At? He sneaks behind an.
other to attack a woman. Shame on you,
if you know what shame is. Have the
manhood to write over your own signature.
1t is plain to be seen that you have lost
all manners belonging to gentleman if
you ever possessed any.
If Ream took the money why don't you
arrest him? Give Guisinger the assistance
of your mighty knowledge box and admin
lister a little of your favorite "Paragoric"
and the entire Ream's generation will be
driven into the South corner of Purgatory
and then be compelled to pay two dollars
for every dollar that "B" owes. NED.

Keeping Sheep.

There is more profit, on the average, in
keeping sheep in this country, than in any
other country on the globe. With the ex-
ception of Holland and Belgium, the annu-
al weight of flesh in America exceeds that
Of any other country. In those two coun-
tries the average weight is sixty pounds.
But owing to the higher price received here
for wool, the annual revenue from each
sheep here is just double that in Belgium,
and nearly double that in Holland. The
annual revenue here is $2,16, on the aver
age Australia is next highest, 1,50, Spain
next, 81 As. Only one other countries ex-
ceed one dollar, and in Russia and Greece
the revenve is only forty two cents. The
average weight, as well as the price, will
be largely increased when the vast fiocks OF
coarse wooled sheep in the West have been
bred up to the condition they undoubtedly
will be in few years from now.-Ohio

HGerman SYRUP"

No other medicine in the world was ever
given such a test Of its curative qualities
as Boschee's German Syrup. In three years
two million four hundred thousand small
bottles of this medicine were distributed
free Of charge by Druggists in this country TO
those afflicted with Consumption, Asthma,
Group, severe Coughs, Pneumonia and
other diseases of the Throat ond Loungs,
giving the American people undeniablc
proof that German Syrup will cure them.
The result has been that Druggists in eve
ry town and village in the United States
are recommending il to their customers
Go to your druggist, and ask Ewhas they
know about it. Sample bottles 10 cents
Regular size rs cents. Three doses will
relieve any case.

strongest affinity was absorbed by the
Abolitionist and slavery ended with
the mission of the party, for no pro-
slavery sentiment remained to dispute
its doctrine.
The nomination of Tom Ewing
or any other greenback man by
the national greenback convention as
Greely was nominated by the peoples
party, and his subsequent Endorsement
by either of the old parties, will secure
the ascendency of the third party and
the triumph of its OPPOSITION to the
bank power now as in the days OF Jack
son.
Or, if either of the old parties
forced by the power, persistancy and
numbers of the Greenback party, pre-
sent a candidate and platform worthy
OF the confidence of the gleenback par
ty. an event not very probable, there
would be another opportunity for alb
sorption, and another evidince of the
fact that three parties can not long re-
main in the field.
History and the machinery of par
ties in the country forbid the long con
tinuance of third parties but history
and the experience OF the past are e
qually on the side of such reorganiza
ton of parties as will place the new
party and its ideas, when familiar tt
the people, in the ascendant, and ena

Speak, If You Can Answer.

Why should the wealthy man have
bonds that draw interest on his idle money,
any more than poor man have bonds that
draw interest on his idle muscle?
Why should the rich live without care
and anxiety at the expense of the poor
man who is all care and a7,1iety?
Why in the name of God convert money
into bonds when the law contemplates only
the conversion OF money into propcrty2
Why pay interest on a bank full of idle
bonds any more than pay interest on a
barn full of idle plows the owner will not
put out as circulating medium of indust-
ay?
Let money bury itself IN property, and
property climb itself into money, but why
expect money to produce wealth while idle
more than to expect a field to produce
grain if it is not worked?
Why should he who has millions pay nc
taxes, while he who has but his labor pays
all the ta1es?-P Pomeroy's Democrat

what . Greenback Is.

The following is an extract OF a speech
made by Mr.. Chase, soon after the termin-
alton of the war:
'What is a greenback2 Why, it is simp-

becomes as is provided in our platform, so
that no Western farmer or merchant will
be obliged TO pay tribute 10 the east in his

CreOsOting Wood.

An increased demand for one of the re-
sidual coal tar products of gas manufacture
is likely to arise, at no distant day, for the
purpose of preserving wood from rot and
from the action of the various marine
worms that so rapidly destroy woodwork
in salt water.
By permission of the Directors of the
American Society of Civil Engineers, a
paper of great interest in this connection
was read before number of the members
of the Society, and others, on last Tuesday
evening, by Mr.. E. r. Andrews, of Boston,
specimens of wood work were exhibited,
which has been treated 20 years ago, and
in constant use in railroad ties which show
ed no signs of decay. The proc ess, as de.
scribed, consists in extracting the sap from
green wood, placed in vaccuo, and then
filing the pores thus emptied of their sap
with creosote oil under pressure of from
sixty to one hundred pounds.
Results obtained abroad have establish
ed the practicability of the process, and its
perfect success in preserving timber.
1t is a matter of great moment to many
industrial interests in our country. Our
rapidly disappearing.fores maybe made to
endure for centuries-simply by the In.
creased length of life given to timber, il
all its uses, by its means; and should tht
system be generally extended, as it would
seem it oughtto be, the now almost market
etless "creosote oil" which is the last pro
duct in the distillation of coal tar befor,
arriving at pitch, would find a Legitimate
of coal tar on the right side of the residua
products account.

it does not cure. The leaves should be

ECONOMY.

For THE PRESS.
As economy seems to be in order we
would suggest that our School Board prao-
tice it. In the first place this community
is not able to pay a Superintendent one
hundred dollars per month and the tax
payers of the district are opposed to it.
In the next place twenty days is considered
a month, and each of the other teachers re-
ceive twenty seven dollars and fifty cents
per month. The Superintendent therefor
receives five dollars per day for each school
day and the balance of the teachers receive
one dollar and thirty seven and half cents
per day, or about twenty three cents per
hour
Skilled mechanics can be had at the
present time for one dollar and half per
day or about seventeen cents per hour,
while the common laborer receives one
dollar per day or fen cents per hour.
We believe that the wages of the Super.
intendant and teachers should be cut down
Sixty dollars per month is good wages fol
Superintendent, and twenty-five dollars
| per month for each tracher. This would
be paying them at the rate of one dollar
and twenty FIVE cents per day or a fraction
over twenty cents per hour which is more
than our best mechanics can make.
Some no doubt will say that the teacher
is compelled to study after school hours
So does the mechanic who works four more
hours than the teacher, and SO are all wht
are in any kind of business.
Cut the Superintendent down $40 pc
mouth and this will save the sum of 1920
and the five teachers $3.50 each per month
and the net saving for an eight month tern
will be four hundred and twenty dollars
and the Superintendent and teachers viii
receive good wages
