Sweet Sixteen Makes Suggestions.


Editor Social Corner: L for one
thank you for inviting us into your
Coy Corner. Many times have
wished that / might write and tell
some of my young companions of a,
few pretty things l make; and hope
they will do the same, as we shall all
no doubt want to make many pretty
things for the holidays.
DO any of you press autumn leaves?
You know the leaves should be coll
lected before the rains bleach them.
After being cAefulIy pressed and
dried, they can be prepared by being
dipped into a mixture of white wax
and little gamboge. Keep the wax
at proper temperature so that it does
not set in Jumps on the leaves, or on
the other hand curl or crimp them.
Have any of you ever planted a
sweet potato? If the beauty of the
foliage of this vine were more widely
known it would be more frequently
used as an ornamental plant. 1t can
be used in water or in earth in pot.
Select a sound potato of good size,
let it set upon the edge of the vessel
with the lower end just touching the
water. good deal of heat is required
to start it, then give it a sunny place
trained to run up over the windows,
remove all except two or three of the
stronger sprouts. 1t is beauty If
grown in a vase set upon a bracket.
In this case a number of small and
tendershoots are preferable to a few
large ones. All the care needed is to
supply it with water which the leaves
take up and evaporate rapidly.

Historic Insurgency.

Clifford Pinchot says: It is better to help a poor man make a living than to help a rich man make pro- fit."
 Yet think not, gentlemen of the static mind, that this is new doctrine. An earlier phrasing was this:
 If there be any one that makes many poor to make few rich, that suits not a commonwealth.
 Nor was this said in this year or last; nor by an insurgent of Kansas or progressive of New Hampshire. It was said 5y Oliver Cromwell in some good old year about 1850.
 One sees that the essence of insur- gency is of very respectable age; and that it has an honorable lineage, go- ing back at least to the blessed say- ing of St. Augustine, Thou givest bread to the hungry, but better were it that none hungered and thou hadst none to give to him. "-Kansas City Star.

Senator Lorimer has little to say, but there are reasons for believing that he does not relish che role of Outcast.
 President Taft must have noticed that Colonel Roosevelt doesn't seem to have any trouble getting party solidarity"
 A London dispatch refers to King George a 8 "almost a teetotaler. l" One who ''can drink it or let it alone"-but doesn't?
 Lowell: Every man feels instinc- lively that all the beautiful senti- ments in the world weigh less than a single worthy action.
 Mir. Roosevelt proceeds on the theory that Lorimer is guilty. As has been remarked before, Roosevelt lacks the Judicial temperament.
 When the business manager of the esteemed Outlook receives Mr. Roosevelt's expense account he is apt to remark that the price of edi- torial correspondence seems to have gone up.
 An agricultural paper expresses doubt whether the motor car will suffice to keep the boys on the farm. The machine is more likely to keep the boys on the road between the farm and the place where She lives.

Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God in his divine wisdom to remove from our midst the precious daughter of our esteemed Brother and Sister Har- rison.
 Therefore, Be it Resoved, That the members of Omega Rebekah Lodge No. 295, do hereby express our deep sense of sorrow and feeling of great loss in the death of this loved one. In our weakness we direct them to an allwise Father who doeth all things well, and who does not afflict his chil- dren willingly but like father pitying them calls them nearer to his side and shelters them within his fold.
 That we hereby extend to the dear friends and relatives. our deepest sympathy and may we learn from this beautiful life of love and patience that has just passed out. what it means to be true christian. And we would say to the parents, relatives and friends that there is a vacant place in the home that never can be filled. Beulah is not dead but sleeping. And while we revive the memory of this departed loved one. we would ask the parents and relatives to look to that beautiful mansion above not made by hands. where we never say good bye. where there are no tears no pain. That we spread these resolutions in the minutes of our record book. That they be printed in the local paper and a copy be sent to the family of the deceased,

THAT "Bld STICK"

It was the popular idea that when Roosevelt turned over the presiden- tial chair to Taft he left the "bbig stick" in the hands of his successor.
 During the days of travail when the Aldriches and Paynes and Can- mons were juggling the tariff bill in favor of the corporations the people were looking and hoping that Taft would lay down the golf club and take up the "big stick" in their be- half. The same was true of a good many occasions, but the president stuck by the golf club. A good many began to feel that the "big stick" had been burned, buried or broken. Anyhow, its whereabouts was not obvious.
 But it has come out of hiding. It seems now that Teddy has had it all the time. And it is evident he has practiced up in using it. perhaps by breaking the heads of lions and ele- phants in Africa.
 Anyhow. Tedey's got the "big stick" If anyone doubts it, ask Senator Lorimer of Illinois, or the Baliingerites who recently tried to run big roller over Pinchot and the real conservationists in St. Paul.

GIayis and Pinchot.

L. R. Glavis, young official in
 the Department of the Interior,
 with no resources outside his salary.
 fought for two years to prevent
 what he felt to be virtual robbery of
 the people of the United States in
 the case of the Cunningham coal claims. When he had exhausted
 every resource in the department he
 took his political life in his hands
 and appealed to the president.
 The usual outcome followed. His superior officer was furnished copy of the charges and was permitted to use all the resources of the depart ment in formulating a reply. No opportunity was given Glavis to see this statement or refute it. He was dismissed in disgrace from the ser vice of the United States with a se- we're reprImand from the President and the Attorney General.
 Happily his case was taken up by a powerful journal which could not be suppressed. Golfers Weekly forced a public hearing, and GIayis has received a complete exoneration from the Democratic members of the Investigating committee and from the single unbiased Republican. Representative Madison's declara- ton that the young official was actuated by purely patriotic motives, and that his activity had saved to the American people lands carry ing millions of tons of coal, will carry weight with those persons who have been unable to follow the testimony.
 With Glavis must be mentioned Clifford Pinchot. who unselfshly sac rificed the position which gave him the chance to do what he felt to be his life work, in order to make a public protest against great wrong.
 It is a mighty fine thing that the people can always depend on a supply of men of the Glavis-Pin- chot type in the public service, who are brave enough to risk their for tunes for the cause of decency and right. t.-Kansas City Star.

TAKE OUR ATTRACTIONS AC.
 CESSABLE.

The road to Bethesda Springs is being kept hot these days by the au- tos, and no one is enjoying the privil- ege so much as visitors to Mena. The ride is attractive. but there are others even more so, but not now ac- cessible to the automobiles, because of the need of 3 little work, maybe onlythe removal of few stumps. It will pay big dividend to Mena to aid the county in making these roads accessible to pleasure seekers. At the same time it will raise the price of the land touched by them and make life better and easier for the farmers and their families.
