thnt the tax would be repealed after

an argument over the tea tax. The
corporation tax and the income tax
could not be kept out Of tho debate.
Ii was IN response 10 a direct qnen-
tlon from Senator Clay hat Aldrich
told binnily his position on the IN

II shall vote for the corporation

Oddities of Color Blindness.

Color blindness, or the inability to
distinguish certain colors, is by no
means rare, Incomplete color blindness
Is when a person cannot distinguish
one Of the fundamental colors, red,
green or violet. II n person is told to
select colors resembling violet, he will
II red blind usually select blues as well
as violets. If he is green blind, he will
select green or gray, with possibly
some blues and violets of the brightest
shades. Violet blindness is rare. To n
red blind person the American flag ap-
pears to have green and white stripes,
while the white stars appear on a vio-
let field. To a green blind person the
stripes have the proper colors, but the
field for the stars Is red violet. To a
violet blind person the stripes are nor
NAL, but the stars appear to be set in a
dark brownlsh gray field. To a person
who is totally color blind the blue Of
the flag appears a light yellowish
brown. while the red stripes seem to
be a darker brown.

Thu Pole Star.

Ursa Major and Ursa Minor ar,
known also Ms the trlones and us thu
Greater Vain and the Lesser Vain. Il
Is curious to note that the larger con
stellation was given the figure Of the
bear by the Arabs and by the lroquois
red men. The assumed forms are or
dinarily fanciful, and the Identity OF
the names In this instance affords fooG
for speculation. Homer uses both beai
and vain (wagon) In his references t.
these stars. 1t is evident that the
name bear was Il translation from
some original Aryan language, rs the
constellation Is called In Sanskri
riksha, n word that In different gen
ders means both Il bear and a star. o.
course the polar star In the tail Of Ursi
Minor is the consultations point OF
glory. In this case we may say fairly
that the tail wags the dog, because the
group of stars was once called the
dogs tail, or cynosure. From that We
have our word cynosure, that toward
which all eyes turn, as to the dogs
tail for sight Of the pole star.-Minne.

Draperies, Carpets and

We are pleased to announce to the general
public that Mr.. Zachary Tate, formerly Of Oil
City, but who has for the last three years filled a
responsible position with the McCreery Company
of Pittsburg, has again joined our forces, and
will assume full charge OF our Rug and Drapery
Department.
1t is perfectly natural that all department
buyers and managers desire to have as much of
their stock as is possible composed of goods of
their own selection. Mr.. Tate is no different
from the rest in this respect. He insists on a
general cleaning out of the entire department,
and we have agreed to allow him to use the
pruning knife as much as he deems necessary.
Prices are to have no lettering effect. Ev-
cry line of Rugs or Curtains; every pair of Drap-
cry or yard of Carpet which he teels is not what
he wants to continue in the department will be
marked down to a price which will mean its
ready sale. Take advantage of these savings
while you can. You may not have in mind a
purchase OF any OF these lines at present, but at
the prices we offer them it will pay you to antici-
pate your wants.

The Commissioner of Labor at
Madison is having such good sue
cess in supplying farmers through
out the state with help that he has
decided to seek renters for all
farmers desiring to rent their farms.
Anyone owning a farm who desires
a tenant or any one desiring to rent
a farm should write to the Commits
sioner of Labor at Madison who
also has on file many applications
from persons desiring work on
farms. Those farmers who have
not yet been supplied should write
him soon. The Bureau of Labor is
an institution maintained by the
state and it's services can be secured
without cost either to the laboring
man or the farmer. The Commits
sioner has hundreds of applications
from young men and married men
all experienced in farm work who
desire work on farms. Farmers
should avail themselves of this OPP
portunity to get help before the
spring work begins because these
applicants will seek work elsewhere
and will not be available later in
the year.
