Washington, April Sin addition to
the arrangement with Canada, 1t is
expected that a reduction of postal
money order rates between the United
States and both the Philippines and

take effect on that day, and negotia'
tions are now in progress with the
islands mentioned which are expected

ba and the Philippines of from 1 per
cent, the international rate which now
applies, to three-fourth of | per cent,
which is the domestic rate.

Hood Scare IS over.

Boston, April 10.-The flood scare
all over New England, due to rising
waters from five days of heavy rains,
has died out, and tonight the reports
indicated that a change for the bet
ter would come before daylight The
losses will be heavy, no doubt, but
nothing to be compared to the fresh
cts of recent springs. The reason is
obvious to people in Southern New
England, for the early spring left
the ground open for good soaking
and this natural absorption of the
rain is taking care of much of the
water, while the great surplus of the
overflow, being unimpeded by ice, is
rushing forward.

Did you ever hear the chronic croalSer
who takes pleasure in predicting that
the town is going to the dogs? He will
tell you how the seeming prosperity is
all hollow sham; that the town is
worse now than it ever was before; that
all who invest their money in it are
blind to facts as appalling AS they are
plain. Years ago Philadelphia was a
village about the size of Reynoldsville.
To IL there came young man, Benja-
min Franklin, who after a residence of
few years invested his hard earned
cash in small business enterprise in
the town. A day or two after doing so
he by chance met one OF these calamity
prophets who scared Franklin badly by
pointing out to him his foolishness in
investing money in a town doomed to
failure. Philadelphia, he said, was the
worst place on earth to expect success.
Franklin says that for the time he was
so thoroughly discouraged that had he
been able to get his money back he
would never have settled in Philadel-
phia. "But," he continues, 81 lived
to see the day when this croaker had to
pay twice as much for lot he bought
as he would have had to il he had
bought it when he was talking failure. "
Every town has them. The prosper
ity of town is much matter of conf
dence between the citizens. When
money is freely invested prosperity will
come regardless OF past conditions.
Thirty years ago Reynoldsville showed
few signs Of ever becoming large town.
A lot on the corner of Main and Fifth
streets was traded off by David Reyn-
olds for violin. A year ago the same
lot, with an old wooden building upon
it. was sold for $4,000. Yet some said
the price was enormous and based on q
false estimate of the towns future. 1t
is to be noted that regardless Of Gala
nifty bowling the town does grow and
will grow and the man who invests hi:
money gets the profit while the croakel
has the satisfaction OF enjoying the in
crease in prosperity which he done
nothing to secure.

In the long ago there lived monarch
known to the world as Saadin. BY
power OF genius and sword he spread
his dominion far and wide insomuch
that he became probably the greatest
ruler OF his time. With riches and
honor, and all he could wish, he came
at last to death. And then the vanity
OF it all came to him. He commanded
that after his death they should take
his shirt, mount it high on pole, and
carry it through the camp exposed to
the view OF the soldiers who had gained
him his glory, proclaiming as they went
that of all the riches and the glory he
had got, this shirt was all that Saladin
the Mighty could take with him to the
grave.
So have men, humble and mighty, in
all ages and climes spent their lives
working day and night. In recent
magazine article a prominent author
endeavors to prove that under the new
vast systems or trusts, it is possible to
reduce the average working day to four
hours, and yet have the same compara-
tive results as now in money earning
capacity. This seems like dream.
Maybe it is; but more likely it is not.
We get into the habit OF believing that
that which is must be. The Reynolds
vile storekeepers formerly thought it
necessary for the convenience OF the
public to keep open their stores until
$3.50 or 1000 o'clock each night. Now
500 p. m. is considered a good hour.
Some suggested that the stores close at
500 p. m, thus bringing the working
hours of clerks down TO the average OF
other labor. But the wise ones shook
their heads and said it could not be.
For the convenience OF the public they
must open after supper. Yet the 800
O'Clock closing does work In several
towns in this section. The public can
accommodate itself to many things with
just as much ease as they followed the
old way. Why then will people persist
in layingsupon themselves burdens both
unnecessary and Of no profit? 1t is the
same In other professions. The work,
ing hours can and will some day be
brought down to space considered in,
credible now. 1t Is not life to sleep
work and eat the year out. There il
and should be plenty Of time for leisure
and tho pursuit OF private employments
would the people but insist upon the
change. For with all the work and
racing after riches there will come a
: last to sll the fate Of Saladin--a home
In the clay and paltry shirt OF all hil
life's lsbors.

Patronize Home Industry.

"Patronize home industry" is n good
rule for every merchant to follow as re-
ligiously as circumstances will permit.
Buy nothing outside that you can pur-
chase just as well in your town. II all
followed this course would it not make
a marked improvement in local busi-
ness? Encourage the practice of buy
ing at home by following it yourself.
Don't order your groceries from New
York to save few dollars and then
grumble because Groceryman Jones,
whom you have ignored, buys his dry
goods from Chicago mail-order house
instead of patronizing you. And don't
go to your local newspaper editor to
urge him to 'roast" your neighbor for
buying goods out OF town and then send
