HE NAMED "OLD GLORY"
Life Story of Captain William Driv.
err, Who Christened the Flag.


Captain William Driver, the man
who christened the American flag
"Old Glory" was born in Salem,
Mass, March II. 1S03
At the age Of 13 Driver was ap-
prenticed to a blacksmith, instead of
making plows and shoeing horses,
however, the blacksmith's wife set
him at work milking cows and doing
light chores. In order that he might
surpass the other boys Of the place
in personal appearance, the black
smiths wife clothed him with shirt
waist of unbleached goods, with great
rows of ruffies down the front. Driv-
er demurred, but the blacksmith's
wife insisted that the shirt must stay
on.
However, when Driver was going
out through the gate it was noticed
that he rolled up his sleeves; he
knew that he was in for fight with
every boy In town. When he got
around the corner he carefully cut
away as much Of the ruffies as he
could, but he had to fight, neverthe.
less; and he came out Of 1t all tri-
umphant, though somewhat disfig-
ured, as might be expected of lad
that has to lick the whole crowd just
because some woman puts a ridicu-
lous costume on him. So he ran
away and went to sea.

A POOR ECONOMY.

The man who thinks he is saving
money by getting along without the
local newspaper is very poor eco
nomist. Let him begin by figuring
what he and his family will lose by
not being able to follow closely the
local advertising. The announce
.enJs of our merchants are for the
family of limited means the most
v4!u bic news in the paper. They
tell when bargains can be obtained
an enable the reader to reduce
home expenses by an amount far in
excess of his subscription. To get
the advantages of bargain sale it
is MT enough to read a days old
newspaper in barber's shop or on
cishbor's table. You need to
get it at the same time your neigh
boris do. that you may visit the
store before the bargains are work.

Making it's Way.

The striking of more than a million
cents pieces at the San Francisco mint
in 1908 made new record in the his
tory of the United States mint and its
branches, for never before since the
coinage OF pieces of this denomination
was begun, in 1898, had such coins
been struck anywhere but at the par
ent establishment at Philadelphia AS
matter OF fact, no need for the max
ing OF coins of this denomination in
the West presented itself until within
recent years, as the demand for cent
pieces was confined almost exclusively
to the Atlantic and middle western
states. In the West and Southwest
this minor coin has had no purchas-
ing value, was not recognized and was
seldom seen in circulation. Indeed,
even at the present time there are
many western localities in which cent
pieces are not accepted.
In Colorado for example, il a per-
son tenders a five-cent piece to a post
master for two two-cent stamps he
received in exchange, together with his
stamps, not a one-cent piece, but Il
one-cent postage stamp. There are
no cent pieces in the money drawer
OF the postmaster, and he doesn't de-
sire any. In Denver store IA certain
commodity is quoted at, say, II cents
pound The purchaser must take
either 10 or 20 cents worth Nothing
&c
Apples may be four for five cents, but
one apple is also five cents, just the
same. Now the people of the Cen
tennial state are going to have a
chance of becoming acquainted with
the little bronze cent, for it is the in
tention OF the government to strike
cent pieces at the new Denver mint
In 1909
California has had as little use for
the cent as other parts of the West
For many years no coin OF less de-
domination than 10 cents had q pur-
chasing value there, and in the gold
days nothing less than % cents would
buy anything, miners frequently
throwing "A handful OF small silver
weight TO carry, the "two-bits" Oh
quarter being the minimum current
coin.
Times have changed and the people
along the Pacific coast have been
quicker to adopt the cent than those
in the Rocky mountain district. Now
tho coin is used in such quantities
that 1t has been found advisable to
manufacture cents on the ground and
thus save the expense of shipment
across the continent from Philadel-
phia. For the calendar year OF 1908
the United States mint report shows
that $11 $50 worth OF cents were struck
at the San Francisco mint and 1928
279.S7 worth at Philadelphia

tinguishing mark upon the coins struck
at the different mints. the new cent

In another column we are publish

entitled, "Was President Taft Bunco-

hensive an analysis of the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill, as could be possibly
made in that length article. 1t is
entitled to full consideration, because
it is not from an enemy" of tariff
legislation, but is written by that
staunch Republican leader and writ
err, T. A. McNeal, who has been fight
ing the battles of the Republican par
ty in Kansas for the past quarter of
century, and who was an original
Taft man and did much for his nomi.

been an advocate and is yet OF the
protective theory, but is opposed to &

and builds up monopolieS and trusts
to enrich the few at the expense o
the many. We invite a careful read

Halliburton Still Missing.

Judge Halliburton returned to his
home at Carthage Saturday evening,
after fruitless trip to St. Louis,
where he went hoping to find his
missing son, says the Nevada Mail.
The Judge was unable to get the
slightest trace of his boy, whose
mysterious disappearance occurred
several days ago. The father and
mother are greatly grieved over their
son and it is feared he has met with
foul play. The young man who was
a student at the State University, be-
came i'll, and at the request of his
father started home. When he left
Columbia he had $50 in his posses
sion. He purchased ticket to Car
thage and the ticket was used from
Columbia to Nevada, and from Ne
vada on, as the conductors repor,
shows. II Halliburton himself used
the ticket he evidently disappeared
between Nevada and Carthage OF
else went on to Joplin instead of get.
ting off at his home town. The dis.

BATES COUNTY SCHOOLS
AND TEACHERS.
By County Superintendent p. M, Allison.

By County Superintendent P. NJ, Allison.
This week was devoted to the AS
ISOLATION and attending circuit court
Three schools were visited Monday,
Prairie City, Papinville and Mission
Branch. Prairie City has one of the
incest school yards in the county and
the house is all that the teacher
claimed for it, that it is one of the
cleanest in the county. Miss Pearl
Kemper is teacher and gives the best
attention to keeping the room clean,
properly ventilated and well lighted
of any school visited.
Miss Ethel Grant is the teacher at
Papinville and is doing excellent
work. She holds a five year state
certificate, takes an active part in the
reading circle of her township and
presented one of the best papers read
during the association, on Higher
/ Moral Standards and Better Manners.
Papinville school board is fortunate
in securing such teacher and will
make a mistake when they let her go
to another school.
At Mission Branch Miss Ella Aims
is teacher and is having to do her
work without much help in the way
Of equipment. She has some excep
tionally bright pupils and will have
some graduates next April.
The Association was we'll attended

teachers. The enrolment reached
