Dear Gid Dad"

We happened at a home the
,ther night, and over the parlor
loor saw the legend worked in
etters of gold What Is Home
a Mother?:" Across the
room was anot,.u- brief, God
Bless Our Home" These mot
toes will be found in many |
homes, worked by nimble fin
gers and expressive of love and
devotion by the members of the
household for the hottest and
happiest Of earth's blessings,
mother" and home" home
sweet home, be it ever so hum
BILE, there's no place like home.
But there is another factor in
the bIessedness Of home that is
too often forgotten or, at least
perhaps sometimes not fully ap-
preciated. That factor is Dad. -
We want to preach a little SER
mon on Dads" behalf today.
1t is no disparagement to moth
err" to say that alongside of the
legend referred to above, this
other would be appropriate: God
Bless Our Dad"
Dad gets up early, lights the
fire, boils an egg, grabs his dim
ner pail and wipes off the dew
of the dawn while many a moth
er is sleeping. He makes the
weekly hand-out to the butcher,
the grocer, the millIman and
the baker, and his little pile is
badly worn before he has been
home an hour. He stands off
the bailiff and keeps the rent
paid up.
If there is q noise during the
night Dad is nudged in the back
and made to go down stairs and
find the burglar and kill him.
| Mother darns the socks, but dad
buys them in the first place and
the needles and the yarn after
ward. Mother does up the
fruit well, but dad buys it all,
and jars and sugar cost like the
mischief.
Dad buys chickens for the
Sunday dinner, carves them
himself, and draws the neck
from the ruins after every one
else is served. WHAT is home
without a mother" Yes that is
all right. But, what is home
without a father" Ten chances
to one it is a boarding, house;
father is under a slab, and the
landlord is a widow.
Dad, here's to you. You have
your faults may have lots
of them-but we will miss you
when you're gone.
Yes, dear old unappreciated
dad! The legend which ought
to grace the walls of a cottage
or palace in your honor may
appear. You may tread the
pathway Of life, bearing it's bur.
dens ungrudgingly and cheer
fully, and go down to the grave
unhonOred and unsung in fran
led legends, but you will be miss
ed and mourned nevertheless
in the cold gray days when you
can no longer answer the CAL
for your services, and will re.
ceiye your reward on the other
shore. Dear old dad! God bless
our dad!

Home Manufacturers Exhibition.

The Progressive Union Of New
Orleans is financing and promot-
ing from September to Both, a
home manufacturers exhibition,
for the benefit of the manutac-
turing and business community
of New Orleans. The affair Will
he conducted on business foot
ing, but not for profit, that the
cost may be reduced to a min
imum.
Buyers from Texas, louisiana
Mississippi and Alabama will be
brought to New Orleans to make
their fall and winter purchases
rather than in the North and
East, and both New Orleans and
territory will be taught Wllat IS
actually made in New Orleans.
The Woman's League of New
Orleans has indOrsed the project
and will lend active and practical
cooperation.
The present exhibition will be
made the foundation for an an
nual fall display on similar lines
and enlarged scope which will
serve as big aid to our manu-
featuring interests as well as an
effective and permanent adyer-
tisement for the city.
The above is clipped from an
interesting article in the N. u.
States, concerning the number
of different sorts of manufac-
lures that originate in that city.
1t transpires that it is leader in
the making of pongee shirts, sup,
plying all the large cities of the
north and east. Powder putfs,
Italian marble, horse feed are
among other home manufactures.
The exposition promised will
be an eye-opener and should
teach our people proper appreci,
alton of the manufacturing status
of the South's metropolis.
Little as you may think of it
it's worth something to you to
keep on friendly terms with your
county newspaper. One Of these
days, you may lie down and die,
and your family will expect the
newspaper to say a lot of nice
things about you and keep silent
as the grave which engulfs you
about your many faults and
shortcomings. Or, your daugh,
ter may marry, and you will be
proud to see in bold type a de
scription of her charms, nara
ton of her many virtues and &C
complishments, and what 8
splendid young man she has wed
These are just a few of the things
your country newspaper may dc
for you, good sir. And there are
quite a number of things it might
do TOyou.

Magic Polishing Cloths.

Mix two pounds of whiting and
one half ounce of oleic acid with
a gallon of gasoline. Stir and
mix thoroughly. In this com
pound soak flannel rags of the
desired size, then wiring out
and hang up to dry, being care
full to keep them away from a
fire or open flame. These cloths
will give q fine gloss to silver
ware, will not soil the hands and
will preserve their polishing
qualities indefinitely. -Woman's
Home Companion for July.
A high compliment WAS paid
the South by the appointment of
Gen. Luke b. Wright as secre-
tary of war, but if it was with
the view of drawing Southern
support to the Republican ticket
it will not avail. Let us rather
believe that President Roose-
welt was sincere in the statement
that General Wright is the best
man in the country to carry on
the work of his great war secre-
tary, Mr.. Taft. That makes the
compliment to General Wright
and the South all the greater
and the more to be appreciated.

TREATMENT THAT GROWS" iRo;1
Peculiar Property Of Castings Put to
Practical Use.

Why should an iron crate bar be-
come warped. twisted and cracked
after long use?
The reason appears to have been
discovered by Alexander E. Outer
bridge. Jr.. OF Philadelphia, who tells
US that cast iron when heated and
cooled swells SO that a bar OF II
becomes not only longer but thicker,
and that this increase in size may con-
tinue with subsequent heatings and
coolings until the volume OF the bar
is 80 per cent. larger than IL was
originally.
Microscopic examination shows that
the texture Of the swelled bar has be-
come coarser grained. This discov-
cry, which was made about three
years ago. is now put TO practical use
in various ways
For instance. q gas engine piston
that had worn small was caused to
grow" by this method until IL again
fitted its cylinder
Again. several tons OF steam radia-
tors that had been condemned as too
short were successfully treated until
they could be used as 1t first
intended.

Waterproof Coats Of Grass.

rental rains fall a part Of each year,
raincoats are a very necessary part
of mans apparel. Owing to the in
tense heat which prevails in the sum-
mer season. the ordinary rubber rain
coat cannot be worn. A rainproof
coat IL made from native grasses, and
Is worn by the men Of the middle and
upper classes. The grasses are woven
close together and 1t is impossible
for the rain to beat through them, no
matter how hard the storm may be.
Some OF these coats are made with a
hood which protects the head as we'll

Paying the Price.

rs it not some reproach upon the
economy OF Providence that such
one, who is mean. dirty fellow.
should have amassed wealth enough
TO buy half a nation?" Not the least.
He made himself mean, dirty fellow
for that very end. He has paid his
health, his conscience. his liberty for
it; and will you envy him his bargain?
Will you hang your head and blush In
his presence because he outshines you
in equipage and show? Lift up your
brow with q noble confidence, and say
to yourself: have not these things, 1t

Dozen Inhabitants in One: In Another
Only Two Houses.

Probably few people know that this
country contains a number OF par
ishes SO small that their population
can be housed under one or two roofs
For instance, Upper Eldon. near
Stockbridge. consists of two houses.
which with an eleventh century church
and tiny Gods Acre in the middle
of a farmyard adjoining one Of the
dwellings. comprise the whole parish.
Not much larger is the population of
Lullington. Ave miles from Eastbourne.
Small as its church is-the interior
dimensions are only 16 feet square
II is quite large enough for the inhab-
itants.
In Grove near Lighton Buzzard.
there are only about a dozen inhabi-
tants. the parish cont tanning = modern

NORMAL THEORY IS oIsPRovEo.
Quite Preposterous in the Light Of
Present-Day Extremism.

Philosophers seldom tire of booming
the normal and deprecating the all
round abnormal tendency. They insist
that the normal life is good for our
bodies ard exc for our consciences.
But this is absurd. We cannot en-
Joy ourselves and al the same time
be normal. Every pleasure is some
thing which is abnormal to US. Every
man and woman at the present day
who sets out with the object Of
achieving distinction. or popularity Of
any description, must be abnormally
good or abnormally bad before It can
create an impression. The normal
theory is a preposterous one.
Imagine a woman in normal clothes.
AT the present moment woman has
attained the pinnacle OF notoriety in
the opposite direction, and on Its top
most point is set her hat. Imagine
the successful athlete In a normal
condition Imagine the winner OF
motor race as a normal pleasure
seeker; and there are others-too
many to on.-Philadelphia Rec
