some Points About Metals.

Extreme cold Increases the teaaeity
Of pure metals and alloys. and the
higher the melting point of metal the
stronger Il is likely to be. This is
accounted for by the statement that
metals with high melting points must
necessarily be coherent and tenacious.
Metals are composed of molecules, and
high-melting point metals require an
enormous amount OF heat to drive the
molecules apart.

leans are always making the mistake Of

ligent and successful by nations states. OF.
al least by towns and counties. We try TO vote
in prohibition and morality and vote out
drunkenness and crime. we try to vote in pros
perity and happiness and vote out the hard
times and sufferirg-when the fact is, temper
ance and righteousness can be established only
in the individual and prosperity and happiness
must be born in the shop or on the farm Ne
may elect presidents by blocks IF five but
We cannot educate the people or make them
happy in that way. The worst result Of uni
versal suffrage Is that it promotes this false
idea six out of every ten Americans are
PRACTICAL politicians at least for three months
ont of every year. and their politics is limited
usually TO national and state affairs. The aver
age man is far more excited over the election

YOU want the best, most efficient and most
faithful person in each place. But for the
sake Of helping to maintain an organization
" hich aims TO elect d congressman once in
every two years. or i governor once in four,
you will sacrifice interests that affect the pros

advancement OF your family IS these officers
