either miner, commercial traveller

she is to collect payment for the same

fatalist, and no matter how much dan

her death until the appointed hour.
She is always armed, and when mere
child she was the crack shot of the

the plucky daughter has filed his place
ever since.

wire. The date of the construction
1S21-Was printed across the top in
letters of fire-in other words, burned
and in the center Is the figure Of the
sun thing Of glory, with a mans
smiling face and rays jutting from all
sides. From the nose of the sun the
steel wire was run, coming to point
and then fastening directly below the
and the hour markings were defined.
Of course, the IL noon hour was where
the wire ended at the bottom of the
board. On the east side-from the top
the hours ran down In the following
order: 6, T. s, 9, 10. Eleven was on the
bottom Of the board, between 10 in the
corner and IL in the center. On the
west side of the dial, running down the
side, were placed 6, s. 4, 3, 2, and l
was on the lower edge, occupying 9 po
sition on the west which II did on the
east It will be seen that there were
two skies. 1t was the beginning and
ending of the day. Other markings
oned on the wall very readily.
Though the storms of seventy-eight
years have beat against the dia4 it has
not begun to show the wear. The fig
ures ave as distinct as though they
were placed there yesterday. The col
ony passed, another one took it's place
and passed and New Harmony became
an ordinary town. Generations have
passed and babies have grown old and
died, but still the old clock knocks off
the hours just as reliably as it did in
1921, when it was put into place. The
old building is now occupied by mer
chant who has shown good business
Judgment by utilizing the surrounding
space on the walls by signs setting
forth his line Of wares.
Sundials are curiosities now. Proba
bly, less than one person under 80 years
out of every 1000 population ever saw
one. Still it has been but short time
since the sun dial regulated affairs, and
though watches were used they took
their time from the dial. Up to 1869
there was no uniform time. In that
wear Professor Charles f. Dowd first
took active measures for establishing
a standard time. He sought the rail
road managers as the persons best
adapted to bring such plan into gen
eral service. In that year in this coun-
try alone there were about seventy
five different standards-all of them on
the sun basis.
Adoption of Standard Time
From his work and energies evolved
what is now known as standard time
and which also has the sun dial as it's
basis. Four meridians, each one hour
apart-sun time-were chosen as stand
ard meridians. They are the seventy
fifth. which passes near Philadelphia;

and st. Louis; the one hundred and fifth.

By the division thus adopted the space
between them readily became divided
into minutes and they into seconds,
SO that after all the world is thus trans
formed into one great sun dial of mag

The suit of Charles J. Field against
Adelaide McGlumphy, principal of the

admit to the school an unvaccinated
child of the plaintiff is noteworthy only
in view of its being one of the
infreQuent outbreaks against the estab-
lished efficacy Of vaccination. At this
distance of time from the wonderful
discovery of Jenner and in view of the
known results Of vaccination as a pre-
ventive of smallpox it seems strange
that there. are still intelligent indNid-
uals who contend that vaccination is a
useless mutiIation of the human body
and wholly inefficacious in doing what
medical science and established rec
ords have proven it will do-viz.. rem
der immunity from smallpox.

Michigan wheels into line with Min
neapolis in the adoption of an excellent
initiative measure for the establish
ment of a wiser system Of forestry.
Governor Pingree has set his signature
to law passed by the recent Legisla-
ture establishing a State forestry COM
mission of three members, one OF
whom shall be the commissioner Of the
State land office. The members, like
those Of the Minnesota commission, are
to serve without pay, but an apprOpr1a-
ton Of $4,000 is made for the payment
Of expenses. Their duties are made to
correspond in substance with those of
the Minnesota commission. They lack,
however, the aid of any such useful
official as the Minnesota State fire war
den. But that the present measure
was regarded by the Legislature as
merely tentative or preparatory Is
shown by the numerous provisions
made for the gathering Of information
which shall take form Tin the words Of
the act) in "a report which shall en-
body a definite forestry policy for the
State Of Michigan" An important fea-
ture of the act is the requirement that,
on the recommendation of the forestry
commission, the commissioner Of the
land Office shall withdraw from sale
zoe, 900 acres of estate tax homestead
lands and swamp lands" and with
hold the same until after the adjourn
ment of the legislative meeting after
such reservation. This points to the
probability of the forestry commission
being given jurisdiction hereafter over
very extensive domains. If the adj
mirab4e law proposed to the Legisla-
ture Of Wisconsin last winter had not
failed Of passage, and if Ohio could be
induced to adopt similar measure, we
should now have belt of territory ex-
tending from the coast Of Massachu-
setts to the eastern border Of the Da-
kotas in which the advocates of scien-
tific forestry have won the preliminary
victories of what, it is to be hoped,
will prove the conquest Of continent.
1t is confidently thought that between
now and the next session of their State
Legislatures public sentiment will have
been so far educated as to insure the
closing Of the gaps referred to and the
initiation Of forestry measures in sew
eral other States. In California, the
law for the protection of the State
from forest fires having failed, a pri-
vate organization has been formed for
the purpose, which proposes to furnish
the protection, so far as possible, at It's
own expense. Probably this patriotic
movement will shame the Legislature
into action when next it meets.

Whether the judge who recently
charged all women with being liars has
himself given the most convincing ar
gument for the superiority of his own
sex in the matter is a question that
men and women must settle between
themselves The forces Of literature
seem to be arrayed against the wom-
an. In the recently published life Of
Mrs. Oliphant that lady tells of visit
to the Tennysons, when the poet, lis
tening to the farewell amenities eX-
changed between his wife and Mrs. Oil
plant, remarked: What liars you
women arew In late novel the truth
loving hero is repealed by the way in
which the heroine openly expresses
contempt for her musical guest while
the latter is performing at the piano,
and then as openly bestows fulsome
compliments upon the player. Some
venture to believe that the feeble f1bs
Of femininity offered at the altar Of
convention are more than offset by the
masculine Misrepresentation that so
often occur in trade. The business
man sands the sugar of his sales in the
name Of gain, while the worldly wom-
an sugars the sands of society in the
cause Of geniality. Which is worse?
Lying is no longer a study in blacks
and whites, but the art of shading with
intermediate grays. Beauty is truth,
truth beauty-that is all We know on
earth and all We need to know" said
the poet. It is a great deal to know.

The kissing bug has been causing
trouble in the East. This insect, ac-
cording to the dispatches, has a habit
of alighting upon the mouths Of people
and biting them. The lips swell to
enormous proportions, and sometimes
the whole face becomes affected, taking
on the general appearance of rare
ripe pumpkin. Doctors recommend va
rious lotions for the trouble, but it is
not likely that it will ever be wholly
done away with until the young man
becomes thoroughly addicted to the
habit of first making sure that her
father isn't looking.

EnR SCHOOL COMMISSIONER

| Arthur Boron has made an able,
painstaking, conscientious official,
| and has devoted his time and talents
to the Advancement of the public
schools of the county. He intro
duced the feature Of common school
graduation which has proven so
satisfactory and bsen favorably
commented on aud approved by
educators throughout the state. He
expects to devote his life to educa-
tional work, aud consequently has an
ambition to excel 10 that line. His
work in and conduct of the Teachers
Institutes have brought words Of
praise from those who watched his
course, the methods pursued and
progress made.
Prof. Boron is to the manor
born, having been born and raised
IN Bates county and educated in her
common schools before entering
college. He has had years of expert
ence in teaching and has been very
successful.
It would be a grave mistake to
defeat him and we earnestly appeal
to every democrat aud all other
voters Interested in the success of
our public schools to go out to the
school elections the first Tuesday in
April and vote for Prof. Boron for
School Commissioner.
