Naturally the first impression of the
average reader of the announcements Of
the commission for the International
monetary conference appointed by Presl-
dent Mckinney is that IL is free silver
trio. This comes as something of shock.
Senator Wolcott OF Colorado OF course
is a strong silver man, although he was
conspicuous in the national campaign
from the fact that he supported tho
Republican ticke: on tho platform Of an
international agreement as to the ratio
as opposed 60 any attempt on the part
of the United States TO put into operation
a sixteen TO one or any other proposition
single handed and alone. Ex-Vice- Presi.
dent Stevenson is a Bryan silyorite and was
one of the most rabid of the free silyer-at
any y-price party that convulsed tho
country all last summer. General Paine.
more well known as yachtsman than a
monetary scholar. is n business man and
is said to ba a bimetallist as distinguished
from gold standard through thick and
thin advocate.
The natural inquiry is where is the
cause of gold and the gold standard in the
Presidents selection, but upon reflection
the reason for the appointments is plain.
They represent apparently the three grades
of the double money idea from the rabid
Stevenson at one extreme, to the con-
servative Paine. And that it was not
of the President to appoint an
extreme gold standard representative ap- |
pears, since the purpose of the commits |
sion is TO secure an international agree |
'nent for the use Of both gold and silver |
II such an agreement is possible. This
means, of course, that every member of |
the commission should be in a greater or
less degree bimetallist and thus an
extreme gold standard man would be
wholly out of place on the commission.

First Odd Fellow Funeral.

The first public Odd Fellows funeral took place In
Baltimore at dead OF night. 1t was ia 1928 The
departed member Andrew wark, who was acct
dentai;y drowned in Chesapeake bay The time liked
! for the ceremony was 10 o'clock at night. unique
procession was formed in front OF his residence The
titles composing the escort were irregular in mum.
| bers-in no there an even number in the
sections. officers and members were tricked out in
gowns, caps, sashcs, collars ami aprons grotesque in
color, and often too large for the person on whom
they were untidiy placed Some carried black rods,
eight or ten feet long surmountcd by globes COW
cred with black cloth. Others, and in large ma.
jorty bore in their hands torches The process ION
was proceeded by irregular band OF elk or eight
pieces When at last the motley crowd took up its
line of march through the streets under the shadow
Of night, to the sonhor sounds or dlscordant nstr
mcnts with thousands OF spectators looking on in
wonder, the scene to battle description and
to impress all with the oddty Of the service over the
remains Of departed member. At length, at the
solemn hour Of midnight, the churchyard was
reached the company stood around the open grave
and the remains slowly, solemny and silently
lowered into the bosom Of earth. Not a word broke
abe silence of the scene while the members one after
another dropped their shoyeius of sand upon the
coffin until the grave filled up the level Of the
soil. The procession reformed and returned to the
city with dsordered ranks. This was the first Odd
Fellows funeral How striking the contrast to the
interinept ceremonies OF the Order to-day And yet
the brother laid away with these grotesque services
loved and mourned with great sincerity OF heart

A Home.

The man who owns a home is a
blessed creature. He has that thing
that should make him the happiest
man on earth. We are not re-
stricting renters, and we realize
many are in a condition seemingly
that will not admit of their build
ing or purchasing a home. A man
should never rent if it be possible
to build homeland home, be
it ever SO humble, confers two
fold benefit-a benefit upon the
owner and upon the community of
which the home holder is a part.
A man owning property in a COM
munity becomes closely identified
with its every interest. He be-
comes one of its solid, substantial
citizens. He gladdens in its pros
pcrity and sorrows in its adversely.
He builds him home and around
it are clustered the dearest memo
ries and happiest days of his life.
In his home children are born and
reared to manhood; some die and
are buried on the hillside. About
each is grouped world of happy
and sorrowful incidents, and in
sensibly these become attached to
the home. After the house was
built he adorned his property with
fruit, shade and ornamental trees:
vines were planted and taught to
Chamber over the windows and to
hang in graceful festoons about the
doors. A green sward covers the
front yard, the work of his hands,
and along the walks are shrubbery
and flowers the sweet labor of the
wife and childrens' leisure hours.
About the trees and flowers and
shrubbery even are twined tender
and pleasing recollections. The
owner of home is a community's
best citizen. He will fight for it
and be in the front ranks for its
improvement. His is the patriotic
heart. The man who rents has no
abiding interest in a community;
it gives him subsistence and when
it fails in that he packs his effects
and is off the next day. But the
man who owns property stays.
And this reminds us that man
loses much by not owning a home.
He loses all he pays out in rent.
He misses much of that which
makes life pleasurable; besides this,
he knows that every dollar ex-
pended upon his home in adding to
its beauty and upon his grounds in
increasing its adornments is dol
lar OF wealth added to his name,
and more, it soon mounts up into
usury and compound interest. 1t
increases his happiness and adds
to his content. We feel for the
man who does not own a home to
beautify and adorn, for he is a
sorry creature at best. Happy is
the man whose home is his own.

strengthening by Electricity.

Sheep are now sheared by electric
power in Great Falls, Mont, by a
method thus described by w. ID. Dick
inson in the Electrical World, August
2lst. Says Mr.. Dickinson
Great Falls, Mon5., has for some
time been credited with being in adj
vance of other places in numerous
uses TO which electricity is applied
and now it again comes to the front
with claim that it is the only place
on earth where sheep shearing is done
with the aid Of electricity.
"Many attempts have been made &c
construct sheep shearlng machine
for use here which would d o the work
formerly done by hand, but none
OF them proved successful until the
Woolsey shearing machines, brought
from Birmingham, England, were put
into operation this spring. These ma
chimes have proved their merit, and
five or six sets have been in use in
different parts of the United States
One set OF twenty was installed al
Great Falls, Mont, which has become
by far the largest wool-shipping point
OF the Northwest.
"Shearing sheds were erected a,
Black Eagle dam, near the terminus
OF the street-railway company's line
and this company furnishes the power
to drive the shearing machines. The
amount required was only six horse
power, and there being at the time M
shunt-wound motor available, stree
railway motor was taken from one 0
the cars, the arInature-pinion being re
placed by a small pulley which wa
belted to the main overhead shaft.
"After the machines were started M
difficulty was experienced in keeping
the speed uniform, as there were TWEEN.
ty OF them constantly at work. Th
foreman of the shearers, after five min
utes instruction, took full charge of TIN
motor, giving it all the attention nee
essary, in oiling, starting, and stop
ping. The machines were operatct
for nearly three weeks by this motor
and in that time sheared 1914 sheep
averaging nearly 100 sheep per da,
per machine.
"The shearing proved quite an at
traction, the street-railwuy compan
carrying a large number Of passenger,
to witness the novel sight.
"The shearers resemble horse cir
pers in this operation, the power bein,
transmitted to the same through uni

A CrY For Helm

From far off India comes a pitiable
cry for more silver.
Professor A. S. Chosh, OF the CAL
cutta University, a native OF East
India, sets forth in an article entitled
"lndia's Cause for Silver" in the
October number Of the North Ameri-
can Review, the reasons why the peo-
pie OF India desire the reopening OF
the Indian minis.
Professor Chosh arraigns the Brit
ish government for blocking the way
to an international agreement for the
reconciliation Of silver, charging that
by closing the India minis it has CON
iscated one half Of the wealth OF the
Indian Empire. He expresses the
opinion that England may be forced,
out OF regard for her own interests, to
change her course, and he concludes
"If, however, Notwithstanding every
entreaty, she proves false to her own
her own and the worlds interest, then
she may learn to her cost that other
nations can act without her and may
see the very thing come to pass in re-
tribution which she so long opposed.
Ii she still continues to block the way ;
If Senator Welcott's mission fails and
the Indian minis remain unopened
the last hope of India must lie in Mr..
Bryan.
"If three years hence his efforts are
crowned with success, which neces-
sarily they must be If nothing is done
meanwhile to solve the great question
be will perhaps find the gold wor-
shippers Of Europe, headed by England
waiting in trepidation in his ante
chamber to entreat an international
agreement. That will be the hour Of
his triumph and in the anticipation o.
it, the 300,000,000 of India will wish
him God speed, with all the power O
their stricken hearts.
