night and so disturbed the peace OF
some OF our mothers in Israel that
literary scorching was the result.
Don't ask Dick Walker nor George
Wright who the couples were.
Wake up, Billdad, of Troy, and
advertise some of your old maids
and young widows. Your town
seems to be flooded with them.
Perhaps some of our old bachelors
could get matched off. By the way,
l notice you have some bachelors at
Troy, but they are not pretty like
the old boys al. Rives.
Will you explain to us, Mr.. Bar
nett, Rives, why and how came
your horse and buggy down at Polk
Saturday night. Now, Bob, we
hate to give you away, but it is our
bas1ness and our duty to do so and
we shall keep an eye on your where
abouts hereafter and will have some
one to put you on exhibition next.
Gypsy, be quiet. We are even
now. We were at Troy few days
ago and saw a sight we'll worth
noticing. We were sure Billdad
would catch on, but as he failed to
record it l will shoulder the task.
1t was large bird on exhibition,
but we failed to learn of what
nationality. 1t seemed to be OF the
Stray ]. Bird type and sex, and was
being exhibited by young lady,
who halls from Moffatt. We learn
she captured it at or near Rives.
1t was so cute. 1t could sing and
could talk and seemed to think
power of its captor, was perfectly
obedient as far as its knowledge of
its captor's wishes were concerned.
She was teaching it to ride a rail-
road tricycle. and was making a
wonderful success. We failed to
notice the color of its feathers, ex-
cept the wing feathers, which we're
a beautiful white with a tinge of
pink. Now, we would be so glad
to have some young lady capture
Stray ]. Bird and put him on exhi-
bit1on. We believe he could be
taught many cute little tricks if he
had such a trainer as the young
lady mentioned. But we would not
advise any young lady to try to
teach him to ride railroad tricycle.,
for if he should come in contact
with the train great would be the
conclusion.

J.J. Moore and son, Alfred, ar

Will Walters, the ever hustling

Billy, he is always in the lead when
it comes to business.
Saturday being a beautiful day,
ch1ldren's day at Bethlehem, proved
to be a perfect success and was
attended by large crowd. The
programme arranged was carried
out and was an interesting one.
We were all very much disappointed
in not having Bro. Thomas with us,
but we all enjoyed having Bro.
Saddler with us and hearing his
little talk. Somehow we failed to
get the programme and therefore
cannot give all their due justice,
but must add that all did we'll.
The Rotations by Misses White
and Woods were very much enjoyed
by us all. Also the solo by Miss
Katie Roberts, who sang the same
sweet song she sang at Mt Zion.

no you know that many stores dishonest
because the public is dishonest?


because the public is dishonest?
Did you ever stop to think how much in this old
world is artifciality?
What great pains go to to get or make some
thing that looks like something else?
Can we after all blame too severely the store that
is simply overzealous in catering to this human
popularity?
And yet you rely on good store to tell you what
is good to use to wear; and the public opinion is
moulded of the thought and suggestion of stores
that hold the public confidence
The true store recognizes its public responsibility
and will cater to dishonest ideas, matter how
profitable they might seem to be.
And why not be honest?
If piece Of dress goods has cotton in it, why be
afraid to tell it, when the fabric is good for what it
is and at fair price?
IF sheet is "a inches wide, why call it 1914, if it
is wide enough for the purpose required? Nobody
is deceived if the purchases has tape line. If it
proves too narrow it comes back, and even if a sale
is not lost it causes another delivery and double
store service throughout. There can be possible
benefit from the deception.
Why call thing worth $I2, selling at IS, when
it is only worth $40. 1t is bargain at 49, Aud
yet the purchaser is often party to the deception
and likes tell neighbor that the article secured
is worth the bigger price The store simply caters
to human failing.
But there is another element of human nature
that knows that the that lies for them will
lie to them. Humanity in the aggregate is honest,
and wants plain, honest statements and reliable in
formation about all that it spends its money for,
and Verhne's advertising endeavors to give these
facts frankly in every announcement made.

A Handy Wood Block.

On every farm there is more or less
wood-chopping to do, and, as a rule,
it is back-breaking work unless some
device, something like that shown in
the cut, is used. This is simply mace
and consists mainly of two pieces of
logs sawed smooth so that they will
stand firmly. These are set about four
feet apart and each log is about three
feet high. On top of these logs is
placed another, which reaches from
end to end of the base logs, as shown
in the cut. Stakes are cut and fasten-
ed to the log as shown, so as to hold
it firmly in position. The whole ar
rangement is planned so that the log
will be of the right height for cutting
without causing one to bend over too
far. In order to prevent danger from
flying pieces of wood such as small
twigs of trees, an iron, bent as shown
in figure B, is fastened to the chop
ping log, and under this iron is placed
the small twig or limb to be cut, the
ak striking it on the side nearest the
chopper, and the bent iron preventing
it from flying up and striking the
worker. A wood block arranged ia the

PRESIDENT DlAz.
Greatest Example of the Benevolent
De 4nof in the WorId


Porfro Diaz is the finest living ex-
ample of the benevolent despot whom
philosophers have declared to be the
best possible ruler of any state Since
1875 he has governed Mexico with an
non hand. but with perfect justice and
wisdom. Like Washington. he has been
first In war and first in peace, and
now he has become first in the hearts
Of his countrymen.
International attention is now turned
toward Mexico because this fall one or
two things win occur-either Porfiro
iDaz will consent to enter or another
term OF office as President or he will
persist in retiring and someone else
take his place.
1t is possible that Jose Ives Liman-
tour will be the man. Diaz has trained
him IS his understudy for years past.
and regards him as strong, safe
statesman who would be likely to keep
Mexico in the right path. But the peo-
pie of Mexico say nobody can wear the
giants robe save the giant. They want
Diaz for their ruler, not Diaz's pupil,
however carefully that pupil may have
been trained
The one alternative means peace. the
other uncertainty. So great have the
foreign interests in Mexico grown, and
so important an entity is Mexico in
American politics. that the turning
point is the occasion of more than
slight anxiety to the United States, to
