OLD HOME WEEK.
Boston Preparing a Grand Cele-
bration for Her Wanderers
ReturNinD

Boston's Old Home Week celebration.
July % to August g. will consist of the
greatest and most interesting series of
midsummer outdoor festivals ever offer
ed by any city in the world.
From beginning to end Me omen air
carnival idea is predominant Every
day has its out-of-door pageant or pa
rade, every evening has its special il
Elimination feature. Almost every
hour of every day and evening has its
event of special interest to multitudes of
the 15O.OOOlhome-coming visitors from all
over the American. continent.
The mammoth programme has now
been so far settled upon that the promi-
nent features of each day can be named
and placed in order. All that remains
to be desired is one week of good old
New England summer weather from
July % to August 8. Boston people are
praying for sunshine then, and if the
skies will only smile the Club" will
show its visitors a celebration the like
of which has never before been offered
the public of any municipality in Amer
lea.
While the summer carnival element
is properly to the fore let not the reader
get the impression, for one moment. that
all of interest is out of doors on park,
river, harhor or highway. The social,
the formal and official, the historical, the
musical and artistic side is amply and
even richly provided for.
In all there are SIX parades, but the
most important are the Electrical Parade
on Monday evening; the parade of Vete-
ran Firemen on Tuesday; the grand civic
and trades procession on Wednesday and
the military parade on Saturday. The
minor parades are the automobile parade
on Thursday and the wheelmens parade
on Saturday.
To her loyal sons and daughters every
where and to all who desire to visit the
Hub" for pleasure or profit Boston ex-
tends hearty invitation to come on to
the Old Home Week ce ebration.
Plan your summer vacation so that
you may visit the most beautiful citv
of the Atlantic Coast this month at the
time when it may be seen to the greatest
advantage; drop care and business. cut
out other engagements and come. You
will never regret it, for Boston is certain
ly preparing to entertain her guests most
royalty.
If you want to engage rooms at hotel
or board and lodging in a private family
or if you desire information of any kind
about anything connected with Boston
or the Old-Home Week celebration write

Come anyway. You will be we'll TAX
en- care of and have a good time, and

bration ever held in any city in the
United States.

Three Times is Sufficient.

II have watched this mail order bust
ness closely, as people came into my
bank to buy drafts said Hon. j. B.
Harsh, president of the Creston National
Bank, Creston, Iowa, to a representative
of the Star-Enterprise, of Alton, Iowa,
and find that the man who sends away
for his first order is likely to return be-
fore long and order a second time, Some
come back third time and send their
money to the mail order house, but it is
rare thing when anyone sends the
fourth time. guess by that time their
experience has cost them enough and
they are ready to quit"
That some such state of affairs exists
there is no reason to doubt. A few
trial orders sent to the catalogue houses
usually opens the eyes of the most en-
thusiastic and the scheme no longer pos
sesses the glamor and glare bound to
attach to a new convert just through
reading one of their catalogues.
1t is not hard to find instances where
the customer has met with long and
vexatious delays that have caused him

share of his faith in humanity. Last
summer about the time the oats became
ripe two farmers in Union county, Iowa,
sent away for their binding Irvine. They
sent the order forward in plenty of time
for it to be filled and for the goods to
reach them before harvest commenced.
In one case the Irvine arrived late in
September, while in the other case the
service was not much more satisfactory.
1t is safe to say that there is not
merchant who advertises and who is de-
termined to get business who will not
meet any catalogue price on any article
handled by him. The business men have
sent away for catalogues from the mail
order houses. They are studying the
contents and are becoming thoroughly
posted on just what is offered and in
what way the quality and price differ
from that which they have on their
shelves.

ENGLAND Endorses Move,

The transfer of the American battle
ship fleet to the Pacific, which is attract
ing considerable attention here, leads the
London Morning Post to remark editori-
ally that the move is natural and intelli-
gible. The only wonder is that it was
not made year ago.
That the whole fleet will be sent seems
to indicate great deal of strategical in
sight on the part of the navy depart
ment. If the fleet had been divided be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific the
American navy would for long time
have been reduced to impotence in both
cases.
The Post predicts that when the fleet
reaches the Pacific, the inhabitants of
the eastern section of the United States
will begin to realize that it is very far
off, and will become very anxious to see
the Panama canal completed. The West
also will lament the distance of the sea
voyage separating it from the East and
will be eager to shorten it by opening the
isthmus. The paper says:
The voyage of the fleet may therefore
be the determining incident in very i'm
policy. Both the eastern and western
populations will wish to have the battle
ships on their own coast. Each will adj
NIT that the other has claim upon the
sh Ups. Accordingly the East and West
alike will be willing to vote the money
for the construction of another eighteen
battleships, as well as for the Isthmian
canal.
Thus the decision to move the battle
ships is "a very clever move in American
domestic politics, even though it may
have no international significance what
ever.
Admitting that the prospect of difficult
ties with Japan may have possibly in
directly influenced the decision, the Post
sees no indications and does not believe
that either America or Japan seeks a
violent solution of the question of admit
ting or excluding Orientals from the Uni
ed States. 1t says:
THAT will probably be the most mo-
mentous question to be answered this
century by the statesmen of the East and
West. The whole world is alive to it,
bearings on the future. If it is to be-
come matter of quarrel, it will be &
quarrel in which practically all the world
will be engaged. The question cannot
be lightly passed over here, for it will
have to be answered in much the same
contest by the British empire. 1t is {
deep question arising from harder dill
emma than the people.of England easily
realize

TORTURINC PAIN.
Half This Mans Sufferings Would
Have Killed Many a Person,
But Doan's Cured Him.

Thousands of grateful people are tell
ing every day how Doan's Kidney Pills
cured them of distressing and dangerous
kidney and bladder troubles.
Yet other thousands are suffering every
day from these same ills. Why? They
are either very negligent or very skepti-
cal. Neglect of kidney disorders leads to
dropsy, diabetes, Bright's disease and
other fatal diseases.
Sincere, honest testimony like the fol-
lowing should convince every skeptic.

Secretary Metcalf deprecates the war
like aspect that has been given to the or
der for the cruise of the great battleship
squadron from the Atlantic to the Pacific
coast. The secretary says that the pro-
posed movement was that of practice
cruise and the fleet would not be kept in
the Pacific permanently. With consid-
cradle emphasis the secretary voiced his
opinion that the warlike Interpretation
made in connection with the fleets
movement was an error. There is no
sound reason" he said, "or excuse for all
this talk by the public and through the
press of an attempt to overawe the Jap

The trustees have called a special vii
lage meeting with a view to discussing
and deciding whether the village should
vote to borrow funds to invest in perma-
nent street improvements. 1t seems a
pity to stop the work just at the present
time, as the improvements now being
made in the vicinity of the park are of
great material benefit to the village and
should not be postponed on account of
lack of money. If the road fund is not
large enough to complete the work in
the first-class manner that has been
started, then a loan should be secured and
the road carried to completion The ex-
perience of other towns will show that
money put out in this way is well spent.
And the cost of maintenance of really
good road is small compared to the
amount required from year to year in
order to keep up an inferior highway,
which is always a source of expense,
danger and annoyance. The first cost of
a good crushed stone road is greater
than the other kind; but when the ex-
pense of maintenance of a poor road for
twenty years or more is added to the
first cost, then the advantage of good
macadam road will be easily seen. 1t is
TO be hoped that the voters will not be
deferred by any self-seeking in this mat
ter, but will decide that the greatest
good to the greater number is the end to
be desired.

That Arch of July 10th.
Z ditor Register:

II ultOI heBISleT.
Your correspondent from Ripton, writ
ing of the electric arch on the night of
the 10th asks its nature. \ point not
mentioned, and that have never before
noticed, and makes this instance of the
greatest scientific value, was the rapid
motion at zenith in beautiful wavelike
form from east to west. This wavelike
motion was not due to currents in the
upper air, but feature of the electrical
current. The waves were uniform, and
strangely symmetrical. The motion was
rapid, exceeding the fastest clouds. In
color this arch was white, but similar
displays have shown various tints of red,
yellow, etc. AT one time, on the south
side of the arch, dark line of purple
appeared for few minutes. The arch
vas not more than five or six miles above
the earth.
If your correspondent closely observed,
he saw that from east to west, this arch
was at exactly right angles to the mag
netic axis of the earth and also at right
angles to the inclination line of the
ecliptic. In this lies the chief radical
distinction from the aurora. Then, too,
the arch is an unbroken uniform current,
while the aurora is detached, and the
streams cratic, corruscative, never
wavy. Again, while the aurora often
covers the entire northern heavens the
arch is seldom more than twice the suns
apparent diameter, and always within or
close to the ecliptic. Both are NANTES
tations of electric changes in the upper
air, caused by variations of earth's mag
netic dynamics, and are always marked
by rapid fall of barometer and followed
by storms. The arch is form of zodia-
cal light. and is purely electric, while the
aurora is largely magnetic. The arch

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
A PARCELS POST QUESTION.

1t is frequently asserted that the reduc-
ton of postage on parcels in the United
States would injure country stores. Such
has not been the result in England and
Germany where the postage on parcels,
with house to house collection and de-
livery, is only one-sixteenth of the rate
imposed in the United States. Rural
stores in those countries are more num-
erous and profitable than in former years.
and find all improvements in the public
service of advantage. One of the heavi-
est items of expense for a rural storekeep-
er is freight transportation. The idea
that this can be too low for his interests is
delusion, for he shares in the benefits
of every reduction and is in a position to
turn them to the best account. Legiti-
mate profits in his business are not de-
pendent on high freights and the isola-
| ton of the community.
Just as there liz field, and good one
when well filled, for rural newspapers,
so the country store has province of its
own, and the closer it is in touch with
| the world the more it is likely to thrive.
Rural free delivery is gain for we'll
conducted country paper, and country
editors are certainly not in favor of abol-
ishing it, though their plea against it
would be as good as that of country
storekeepers against reasonable parcels
post rates. In the United States mails
the domestic postage on 4-pound parcel
if GA cents. The same parcel could be
mailed to London for 40 cents. Are such
absurdities required to prop up country
stores? The present parcels post ar
rangements in the United States are
ridiculous. -Richford Gazette.
The thru" and "thoro" craze has
worn itself out, and people in general do
not seem to have time to think of spell

nently practical. Esthetic, judgment,
program, primeval, center, etc, are now
so common in newspaper offices that they
have ceased to be matters of dispute be-

have come to stay, but they owe nothing
