of cold water, or a crust of bread

feeling. is never forgotten.
1t won't do to swell out our chests
and indulge in the delusion that we
must make nothing of our natural
advantages What the public wants
are accommodations freely and cheer
fully given, and not egotistical ex-
clusiveness
The average man would rather go
to hotel, where he is greeted with
warmth and consideration and where
he receives a we'll cooked meal, than
to more palatial hotel where he
receives the icy NIT and stare and for
dinner has nothing but fine linen and
decorated chinaware He would rath-
err endure a fly in the dining room
than an icicle down his back
There are many more things that
could mention, but few things done
and accomplished are worth more
than mass OF things only talked
about
If the things that have mentioned
were accomplished they alone would
do wonders for Plymouth in the mex.
few years.
would like to see the movement
to do some of these things started
today, at this meeting, and never al
lowed to lag until victory perches on
our banners.
But | hear some one say, what can
we do to accomplish these things?
We are but a handful of the citizens
of Plymouth? o, we of little faith.
There are more than enough here
to start world movement on any
subject. if only we have the determin-
alton and the courage of achieve
ment. The other day | was reading
of a man in the state of South Da-
kota who is proposing, on the 10th
of this month, unaided and alone, to
organic, and start a world-moven'ent
in the way of founding or creating
what he terms the flag of the world
flag that shall symbolic, not the
hopes, the ambitions. and the tradi-
tons of the people of single milton,
but one that shall symbolic the
hopes, the aspirations and the best
traditions of humanity throughout the
earth.
A man with such a conception as
that and with such an undaunteJ i'll
and purpose, can not fail He is
bound to succeed, for the man who
takes God and the right in partner
ship with him, is always in the ma
jority.
From that little beginning may
come a flag and bond of human SYM
pathy among men that will do more
to Danish war from the earth than
international peace conferences and
international arbitration conventions
Long live the flag Of the world,
and long live Plymouth when her
patriotic and determined citizens
shall say, we will gain the good will
of all of the citizens of Marshall
county, we will have successful
county fair, and, by the eternal we
! must and will have such city park

The, Square Deal.

The Fort Wayne News says: The
independent oil operators. apparently
encouraged by the awful swat given
the Standard in the federal courts,
have held meeting and will inaug-
urate a crusade for radical reduc-
ton in the freight rates on oil. 1t
is not likely that in this endeavor
they will enlist much public aid or
even sympathy. What the people arc
Interested in is not cheaper freight
rate on oil, but in the establishment
of non-discriminsting rate They
want to see the independent opera
tors get the same rate that the Stand
ard gets, and it is likely that this will
be effected without a crusade on
their part. A few more decisions
such as that rendered by Judge Lam
dis will entirely eliminate the rebate
business. Indeed, there is probably
MOI necessity for "a few more" The
one already on record ought to suf-
fee.

Was Entitled to a Pension.

That veracious journal, the Milford
Mail, tells of an old soldier who re-
Gently applied for apension: We
asked him on what grounds he APP
piled. His answer was, Fright" He
said at Pittsburg Landing he had
every button shot off his coat. This
he stood fairly we'll, but when the
next shot cut his suspenders and let
his pants down, then he was skeered.
Late he asked for an increase. and
when we asked on what ground he
said More fright" He said he W
scared more than he thought, tor at
ter his supenders were shot off he
learned that the Red Cross ladies
were just to his left.

Poe to Recruit Foreign Legion for
Honduras.

A cablegram received at Mexico
City. from San Salvador says that
Capt. John II. Poe who was at one
time we'll known as a Princeton foot
ball player and who recently has
been fighting in the Honduran army,
has left Salvador on the steamer San
Juan for San Francisco, where he
proposes to recruit foreign legion"
to take part in the expected war be-
tween the Central American States.
Poe held the rank of captain with the
Hondurans.
The best sources of information in
Mexico City unite in declaring that
trouble in Central America is certain.
Guatemala and Salvador will be ar
rayed aginst Honduras and Nicara-
qua. President Figueroa, of Salvo-
dor, and President Cabrera, of Cuate-
mala, have agreed that peace is i'm
possible so long as Zelaya remains
president of Nicaragua.

Fear the United States.

Prof Bernard Moses of the Uni

South American alliance against the

States, the recent trouble IN Caule-
mala giving rise to the suspicion that
Mexico and the United States may
combine to control the western hem

prevent any united action on the part
of the southern countries against this
country. They could no. afford the
loss in trade which would follow"
Professor Moses declares thai Am

gerry is in critical condition as re-
suit of being bitten by large cater

Better Arithmetic Needed.

1t is true that some of the BRAN
ches of arithmetic once studied in the
Chicago schools had little practical
value. The study of partial payments
according to the practice in several
different states was a waste OF time
Bank discount is the subject which
now is dropped is difficult to see
that much time will be gained by
this omission Bank discount is simp-
1y an application of percentage, and
the principle of it ought to be learned
in one lesson The working of it
gives excellent practice i'll multiplied
tinon. addition, and subtraction, and
if it has gone hard it is precisely be-
cause the pupils needed practice in
those rules.
What business MEN expect of grad
yates of the public schools is that
they shall be able to add up a column
of figures correctly and to calculate
rapidly the price of any quantity OF
goods at any rate This involves
fractions, common and decimal The
more exact systems of business of
the present day require the ability to
figure out percentages of loss and
profit A successful business man
must be able to- tell at any time just
what each part of his business is cost

gin between success and failure may
be less than 1 per cent, and the man
who can do the closest figuring is
the one who will win.-Chicago Tri-

There are in every successful ca
reer at least two phases of success
The first achieved when the ideals
are erected and faith crowns them
with success; the second when the
plans of idealistic faith are carried
to successful achievement The
course of human endeavor is strewn
with the wrecks of those who have
tried TO induce success without any
fixed idea as to just what they wish
to accomplish or who have abandon
ed the old ship of high ideals when
the seductive waves of opportunism
have encompassed them.
The most successful are those who
possess themselves of the highest
ideals and fight most persistently to
attain them This is true in every
line of endeavor.
