POWER OF AUTHORITY.
Lach of Respect for It Causes Many
 Political Crimes.

The authority of the state is as sacred in it's own place as the author ity of the home. and that nation which above all personal and individual rights holds the law of the land and the government of the nation in the highest esteem is the nation which will insure is final prosperity And yet there ara these, and they are not in small number. in this and other lands, who rebel against the constituted au- thcrits their goverAmsAt. end at the same time consider themselves good citizens. European rulers have been assessinated two attempts have been made upon the life of England's queen, and in our country Presidents Lincoln and Garfield were fouily murdered. And what was the primary cause of these terrible tragedies? Nothing more nor less than lack of respect for constituted authority. And there are those today who, while perhaps they will not resort to such deeds Of violence, nevertheless have a hatred of the government of the nation, be- cause, forsooth, the political party which they favor does not happen to be in power. With such people, no matter what the chief executive of the nation does, it is wrong. No matter how carefully political affairs, the af- fairs of the nation, are planned and managed, the whole government in their opinion (anything but humble opinion, by the way) consists of a set of thieves, robbers, money-grabbers and the like, who are only at the seat of government with the one intention of seeing what they can make out of their term of office. In some cases this may be more or less true; but if it is, it certainly does not excuse any loyal and patriotic citizen of this great re- public from being bound to pay his need of homage and respect for the constituted authority of the govern ment of his country.-Doaohoe's Maga- zine

PEOPLE FORGET
And Leave Money in safe Deposit Boxo
 for Year.A

From the New Orleans Times-Demo- crat: Apropos of the singular case of old man Burgess said a bank teller the other evening. it is by no means an unheard=of thing for people to put money and YaIuables i'll safe deposit boxes and then forget all about them. A remarkable case of that kind hap pened in New Orleans ten or twelve years ago. An old planter, who car ried good=sized dsposit in one of the banks, gave little bundle to the cash fer one day and asked him to put it where it would be safe The cashier supposed it contained legal documents of some kind, laid it avay in a com- partment with a lot of other papers and thought no more about it. Three or four years later the planter had series of misfortunes that wiped out most of his property, and he was terribly pressed for money. One morning he was in the bank, feeling very much dejected, when some- thing reminded the cashier Of the old package, and he went and hunted it up. Here's something you left with Us a good while ago, colonel, he remarked. Do you wish us to still keep it for you?' T don't remember what it is he said, and proceeded to strip off the wrapper. It contained fifty-fve $100 dollar bills. He had received them as a balance on an old account, and the whole affair had simply passed out of his memory. He was in full possession of his fac ulties, but bigger transactions had crowded that one to the background in his mind. The money came in very handy at that particular time, and he was oyerjoyed at the discovery. Of course, that case was very much out of the ordinary, but many special de- posits of lesser value have been over- looked for long periods in the local banks. Strange to say, some of the ab- sent-minded folks have been women. who are reputed to be very keen about money matters One famous old bank in New York is reputed to have half a million dollars in that kind of ,sleepers' in it's vaults.

WHAT THE EAGLE SIGNIFIES.
why It Was Chosen as the Emblematic
Bird Of America.

AAtAA 3t 4AAAAAA14&t
 From the Detroit Free Press: IF ancient mythology the eagle was be- lfeved to carry the souls Of the dying 50 their abode on Mount Olympus and was called aha bind Of love. The eagle gas first taken ss q symbol of royal power by the ancient Etruseans, who 6ore it's image upon their standard. Tu the year S1 B c. a silver eagle, sfith extended Wings, poised on the tap Of spear, with thunderbolt held }n its claws. Was adopted as the mili- {ary standard to be borne at the head of their leelens by the Romans. At the time Of Hadrtan golden eagle was substituted for the silver one two-headed eagle was adopted by the Byzantine empefofs as a symbol of sheir control of both the east and the west The double-headed eagle of Russia was adopted the marriage at Ivan I. with a Greeian princess of the eastern emp!re; that of Austria WAS first used when the emperor of Germany took the title of Roman em per0r. The national standard of Rus sia bears black eagle, that of Poland white one. Napoleon I. took gold sn eagle for his standard, modelled of pure gold and bearing a thunderbolt, after the pattern of the eagle of the Romans This standard was disused under the Bourbons. but was restored Sy a decree of Louis Napoleon in 1852. The eagle was first used on American coins in 178S, on cents and half-cents &ssued from the Massachusetts mint. il was adopted in the plan of a nation al coinage as a design upon all gold coins and on the silver dollar, half dollar and quarter-dollar. The design of the eagle was at one time suggested for the national flag, but was aban &lned

GLAZED PAPER.
Held as the Cause for the Alarming In.
 crease In ear-sightedness


 crease tn Near-sightedness.
 According to certain number of German ophthalmologist the use of glazed paper has a pre5udicial effect upon the eyesight. There lies the cause, they say, Of the continuous in crease of myepia during the last fifty years Formerly a dull, grayish paper of coarse texture was used. Now the paper has a smooth, brilliant surface, with luminous reflections that were a0- sent from the rough surface of the old paper. In old books a soft light easily brought out in relief the characters. which were printed in heavier, blacker type. Now, with the glazed surface. the light is all the more reflected. be- cause the characters themselves are finer and less pronounced, thus giving rise to play of light and shade that is most fatiguing to the eyes. To prove this it sufffees to take an old edition of the magazines printed ar tistically and compare the effects pro- duced on the eyes after half an hours reading. For this reason hygienists recommend the avoidance of glazed or highly polished paper in schools. The paper should be of a grayish or blueish tinge. Tn any case it should not be white. and never brilliant.

BUILDING COTTON MILLS. .

The organization of new cotton
mills in the South during the last
three months. while, OF course,
not as active as during the pre-
ceding three months, has been
pushed with much vigor. As in
the first three months of the year,
the last quarter shows o steady
tendency towards the divereifca-
tlon of cotton manufacturing and
the building Of mills equipped for
finer goods. Established mills
that have been notedly successful
continue the enlargement Of their
operations by building new mills
or extending their present plants.
Taking the mills definitely organ
lied, and omltting all that have
simply been projected, but tho
construction of which has not been
assured, and including the spind-
les to be added to mills already
the total for the first
six months of the year is as fol-
lows:

OUR GREAT SCHOOL ARMY

DR.. Harris, head of the national
bureau Of education, estimates
that the census just taken will
show over 100000 school chill
dren in an estimated population
of $1,000, 900. In 1880 in pop
ulation Of 50, 1922, $50 there were
10, 7O4, ,4S7 pupils in our public
schools. The percentage of en-
rollment to population in 1880
was 1884; in 1890, 1929, and in
1900 (estimated), 2o.es. There is
an amazing difference among the
several states in the percentage OF
pupils enrolled to the population.
According to the statistics collect
ed by the bureau of education
Kansas has the largest percentage
of children in public schools, be-
ing 27.S6 out Of every 100; while
Louisiana has only 1854. West
Virginia and Utah follow very
closely after Kansas.
