.BRITISHERS TO STUDY
AMERICAN METHODS
BRITISH OFFICERS WILL STUDY
THE MAP MAKING SYSTEM OF
THE UNITED STATES.

Special to the Herald.
Washington. D. C. Oct 25.-Major
C. F. Close and Captain Firth of tho
topographic division of the British
ordnance survey are expected in
Washington next week on a mission
that is without precedent in the his.
tory of the friendly relations between
the United States anu Great Britain.
The purpose of the British officers in
coming here is to study the map max
ing system of the United States. The
British ordnance survey makes the
official maps for the British empire.
1t is reputeu to be the foremost or
ganization of its kind in the world,
but at the same time there are some
points in which the map makers of
the United States geological survey
excel. One of these in particular is
the system of printing maps in three
colors, brown for the contours. blue
for the rivers and black for the roads
and towns. The method has been
copied from the United States by the
French. Swiss and German govern
ments, and it is expected that Eng
land will follow suit During their
visit here the British officers will be
afforded every facility for investiga-
ton by the war department, the geo
logical survey and the coast and
geodetic survey.

Mona will strengthen all the or.

from your food the nourishment that
is needed to support the vital forces

The fact that Mona is sold under

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 25.-The
feast of st Crispin, which occurs To-
day, is an anniversary now forgotten
by the shoemakers and most every
one else, though there was a time
when the day was religiously OBJ
served in many parts Of this country.
One of the pioneer labor organizations
Of the United States was the Knights
Of St Crispin, which was composed of
shoemakers. The movement was
started in Wisconsin just forty years
ago and spread rapidly eastward. Its
aims were similar TO those of the
labor organizations of today. but the
principles upon which it was conduct
ed were different. After flourisiing .
few years the organization became de-
funct and is now scarcely remem-
bered, even by the oldest members of
the craft
st. Crispin, in whose honor the or
ganization was named. was shoe
maker preacher. a teacher OF the
christian religion in barbaric Ga,
and he suffered a cruel martyrdom at
the hands of a heather Roman Consul
Of Gaul. in PSF There is a tradition
that he preached by day and made
shoes by night and gave them to the
poor, an angel supplying him with
leather.

THE man who asserts as of his
own knowledge that there is now
or ever has been a Democratic
"ring'' in this county is a liar and
the truth is not in him. That is, if
he means to convey the idea there
by that the officials are banded
together for the purpose of de-
frauding the taxpayers or I'M
lawfully or unjustly advancing
their own interests. If there was
any truth in the charge that such
a "ring'' did II does exist, and
had swindled the public, wouldn't
my Republican neighbors bowling
for the fleshpots be quick to point
to the time, the instance, and the
official? They are quick enough
to falsely accuse in an indefinite
and general way, but are careful
not to be specific. They shout
"court house ring" hoping by re-
iteration to deceive, but down in
their own hearts they are cog
infant of the slanderous nature of
their accusations. But if they
mean that there is a ''ring," not
only at the court house but all
over the county, to further the in
terests of the Democratic party,
then they are correct. Our people
had a sample of Republican rule a
good many years ago, and it's
memory still is vivid with them.
Benny wants to return to that rule,
but Benny isn't the whole thing,
thank goodness!
