HOW THE REPUBLIC OF
CUBA IS PROGRESSING
Predictions of Evil and What Came Of Them.
Surplus in the Treasury and industrial
Matters Looking Up.

Personal and national pride and a
sense of responsibility also operate
forcefully upon Cuban mind and action.
Charged as they so often have been,
with incapacity for self-government,
and with political likeness to certain
other nations of Latin America, their
pride appears with purpose to demon
strate the falsity of both charge and
parallel A sense of responsibility Will
often turn the most blatant of ultra
radicals into the quietest of conserva-
tives.
These, then, may be set down as the
moral factors in Cubas disappointment
of predictions which We're pessimistic.
though they may have been entirely
honest and seemingly fully justified.
They are the unknown factors in all
Cuban economic equations. The pre-
else influence of patient endurance,
persistent tenacity, charity and mutual
helpfulness, hopeful anticipation Of bet
ter days, personal and national pride,
and the effect of sense of respon-
sibility, are not to be easily measured
as an operative force in Cuban affairs.
Again and again they have carried the
island through the slough Of despond
and brought her up smiling upon the
other side.

FOR bABY'S SKIN
SCALP and HAIR
Something for Mothers to Think About

EVERY CHILD born into the world with an
inherited or early developed tendency to distress
ing, disfiguring hurnours of the skin, scalp, and
blood, becomes an object of the most tender
so1icitude, not only because of it's suffering but
because of the dreadful fear that the designation
is to be lifelong and mar it's future happiness
and prosperity. Hence it becomes the duty of
mothers of such afflicted children to acquaint
themselves with the best, the purest, and most
effective treatment available.

The political and fractional leaders at
Adamston are already beginning to make
fools of themselves in the campaign now
on for the mayoraIty election there.
They have shown disposition to sur
render to prejudice, hate and war. 1t
may be depended on that the conditions
are not conducive to the selection OF
men who will conduct the affairs of that
town in way which will prove to the
best interests Of the people as who'll.
After the trieksters and willy politicians
get through with their nominating con.
rentions, the people themselves ought
to meet, select a good ticket and elect
it. The period is too important in the
history of the town to let the opportun.
ity pass to have the best there is. The
town should get started right and there
is no better way than to let the people
make that start. The government by
right is theirs and they are the ones who
should say what that government is to
be. Tickets with such captions as cit.
liens" and Peoples" are not always what
their name signifies, and it is not nee
essary for the people to call their tick
cts either of these names. The principal
thing is to nominate ticket, clean and
free from the schemers en- all sides.
Do that and elect it and the town will
have good. honest capable government,
