When you have used thing twenty
years you know pretty well what it is
A baker writes from Sidney, Neb., that
for twenty years he has been using Cot,
tolene in his bakery, and finds it the
best cooking fat he ever used. He even
recommends its use to those who are
doing their own baking. This testi-
monial is noteworthy because it is from
a man who makes baking his business
and who therefore is in position to
judge from long practical use.
Cottolene can be used for all shorten
ing and frying purposes; makes plump,
crisp doughnuts, fal1y biscuits and light,
rich cake 1t is better, cheaper and
more wholesome than lard.

Samuel FINLEY BreeSe Morse, IN
ventor of the electric magnetic tele-
graph, was born on this day, in 1871,
at Charlestown, Mass. He was edu-
Gated at the common schools of his
native village and later went to Yale
college, where he graduated, 1910.
During his leisure hours in college he
painted, and after graduating, he took
up art as a profession. In 1911 he
went to London with two well-known
American artists of that period, and
West and Copley. His progress was
rapid and in 1881 he received a gold
medal from the Adelphi Society of
Arts. His progress in London, how
ever, was more of professional ma
ture than it was financial, and in 1851
because of lack of funds he returned
to the United States where he soon
became a popular portrait painter and
prospered. In 1918 he married Lu-
cretia Walker, in Concord, N. H.
About this time he and his brother in
vented an improved pump. He be-
came prominent in art circles in New
York, and founded the New York
Drawing association which in 1920 be
came the National Academy of De-
sign. In 1926 he attended a series of
lectures in New York city on electric
ity. But it was not until few years
later when on voyage returning
from France, a passenger engaged IN
conversation with him concerning
some experiments certain French sci
entists were conducting in electric
magnetic signalling. 1t occurred to
him that news could be sent by that
means. He spent the rest of his tine
during the voyage in making draw
ings of his proposed invention and IN
beginning his alphabetical code. IT
was not until 1885 that he was able to
exhibit an instrument that was found
to work we'll and he had great trouble
in securing the funds to conduct his
experiments. often offering great pri-
walton. In 1887 he perfected the in
strument and secured a patent. But
he was unable to secure from private
parties the capital necessary. Ulti-
matelv in 1S43, congress granted him
$40 600 to construct an experimental
line from Washington to Baltimore.
He had almost given up in despair
when at midnight at the last moment
of the session this appropriation was
made. His successful operation dem
onstrated that his invention was no
longer in the experimental stage and
if soon came into use throughout the
world. For his important invention
DR.. Morse was rewarded by ties IT,
monials. honorary degrees of nobility
and wealth. The magnitude of his dis
coveries was acknowledged universal
". and several European states join
ed in presenting him a purse OF 400
600 francs; and splendid banquets
were given to him in London and IN
Paris. Morse died in New York, on
April 2, 1871.

But although this debarred Samuel
Gomper's utilization proposition, del

explained that Americans are entirely
willing to join an international move
ment, the objects of watch are clearly
fixed, such as, for example, the study
of questions directly affecting strikes
and the employment of women, but
not an organization dedicated to AGA

now composed of secretaries of inter
national organizations, into congress
Of much wider powers, with delegates
from each trade. The proposition was
almost unanimously opposed and
finally withdrawn.

BANK ROBBED IN
BROAD DAYLIGHT
MASKED MEN TAKE $500 AND
MAKE SUCCESSFUL
GETAWAY.

Mineola, Ia, Sept. 1.-Two masked
men held up Cashier Nipp, or the
Mills County German bank, yesterday
and escaped with $1,000. The cashier
and two customers who happened to
be in the back room, were kept there
by one of the robbers, while the other
took all the money he could find. The
bandits fed afoot eastward along the
Wabash railroad near Silver City,
where they vanished in a cornfield.
As soon as the robbers had gone
out the back door of the bank, the
cashier gave the alarm, and a posse
of 80 mounted men started in pur-
suit. Up to late last night they had
found no clue. 1t is believed that the
pair had horses waiting near the corn
field in which they disappeared. The
two came to Mineola Sunday night
One is described as short and smooth
faced, the other had brown mus
tache ard wae of medium height.

THAW'S ATTORNEY
CHARGES S195.736
ALREADY PAID $1o3,10o HART
RIDGE WANTS $92,636
MORE.

New York, Sept. AIRS Mary Cop
ley Thaw was to have appeared be
fore United States Commissioner
Shields yesterday for examination in
the suit of Clifford w. Hartridge to
recover $92,636, which he says is still
due for his legal services and dis
bursements during the trials Of her
son, Harry K. Thaw. Her attorney,
however, obtained from the United
States circuit court an order yacating
the notice directing her to appear. At
the same time the court directed Mrs
Thaw to furnish Mr.. Hartridge with
bill Of particulars of her counter
claim of $46,815.
The court said that in case Mrs.
Thaw should change her residence
from Matteawan, New York, to one
more than 100 miles distant from New
York and beyond the reach of sub
pOena, time and opportunity would be
given to take her testimony by COM
mission or otherwise. Mrs. Thaw con-
tended that the notice for taking her
deposition was not served in good
faith, but to annoy her.
Mr.. Hartridge alleges that he paid
out large sums in protecting Harry
Thaw's good name from scandal. "
His bill in the aggregate was $685.
136 and he has been paid $103,10O

TO SAVE HIS FATHER.
Five-Year-OId Haldane Ceminson
May Testify in Murder Trial.

Chicago, H., Sept 1.-Heldane Glenn
insor, a few weeks more than years
old, may become the principal witness
to save his father, Dr. Haldane G,
CleminsOn, from the gallows.
Plans for the defense are almost
completed. The trial is scheduled to
begin soon in the criminal court, and
it developed yesterday that little Hal
dane is more than likely to be called
TO the stand.
If these plans materialize he will be
the youngest witness ever called in a
murder trial in Chicago. The nature
of the boys testimony is secret,
known only to Attorney Joseph B
Burres of counsel for the defense.
Little Haldane is almost daily Wis
itor at the county jail. Sometimes he
is accompanied by his 3-year-old
brother, John.
A sad part of the visits of the little
boys to their father, who is under in
dictment charged with killing his wife,
their mother, with chloroform, is that
the mothers name is never mentioned
