PRESIDENT is LAUDED.

Platform.

Columbus, O., July 2S.-The Ohio
republican platform, which is expect
ed to be a model for use by future
republican state conventions as the
expression of the party in the presi-
dents own state, opens with warm
Endorsement of the chief executive.

of the results he has already achieved
in his seventeen months in office, and
pledge him our hearty support in his
further efforts as chief executive of

New York, July 2S.-Whether the

New York, July 2S.-When Milo j.

SKY RUNARouTs FOR WOMEN.
Mrs. Harmon and Mrs. Vanderbilt viii
Have Small Aeroplanes


New York, July 2S.-lf the negotia.
tions being conducted by Yves De
Villers of Paris are successful, Mrs.
Clifford b. Harmon and Mrs. William
X. Vanderbilt. jr will each own one
of the smallest aeroplanes in exist.
ence built especially for women. Mr..
De Villers represents the Oder Ven"
dome mOnopane, which is even small
er than the Santos Dumont demoiselle.
The latter is eighteen feet wide, but
the NendOme sky runabout measures
only a fraction more than twelve
feet.
Both the Vendome craft and the Du.
mont machine are very popular in
Europe with amateurs who are just
beginning to learn the art of flying
1t enables them to acquire the knack
by easy stages. On account of their
size they cannot carry passenger
on sustained flight, but are capable
of remaining in the air for forty-five
minutes.
The Vendome craft in which Mrs.
Harmon and Mrs. Vanderbilt are in
terested have become especially popu-
lar with women in France. 1t has
become a great fad with society wo.
men to take short spin on one Of
those machines on the numerous avia-
ton fields scattered throughout that
country.
Three of the craft are now on the
ocean and will arrive here during the
week. With them are coming three
French air jockeys, who viii demon.
state them on the aviation field near
Mineola, after which they will be
taken to Boston to take part in the
| meet to be held there. Two of the
machines have already been pur-
| chased by society women of Canada,
| where they are being used in flights
on private estates. Within month
| the Vendome company will send two
women aviators to the United States
to exhibit the flying capabilities of the
, craft and to show how easily they can
be handled.
The Vendome machine is equipped
with 3-cylinder Anzani motor, the
engine with which Bleriot made his
| flight over the English channel.
On account of its small size it can
attain great speed, sometimes flying
at the rate of fifty miles an hour.
The enthusiasts at the aviation field
near Mineola expect that the activity
of Mrs. Harmon and Mrs. Vanderbilt
will prompt many other members of
the -Four Hundred" to take up the
sport of flying. While it is probable
that they will make some of their
flights on Long Island, it is expected
that they will use their machines prin-
cipally on the grounds on their es-
tates, where they will be remote from
the curious eyes of the public.

TRIO oF FIGHTERS
 PLACED IN STORAGE
An Impressed" Officer Was Further
 Impressed by One of Them.

R. Flores, Carlos Burian and Manuel | Gomez slid into the county jail yester- l day afternoon as slick as grease and more quickly than they had any notion 1 of. The first two were arrested for | fighting, Flores being saturated, and ! Gomez who was duly sober was taken along for an attempt to frustrate the | gymnastic exercises of an arm of the | law.
 The three Mexicans were, near the Star lodging house when Flores and Burian began the exchange of pugilistic compliments. Deputy Sheriff Marion McCann chanced to come along just at that moment and not wishing to see the sidewalks mussed up with blood he assumed the attitude of referee and de- clared the fight off. The combatants had not yet had enough and both were ! coming back" when MT. McCann de- cided that he needed help and direct ed Gus Iben, proprietor of the Star, who was within hailing distance. to fall in and help sustain the majesty of the law.
 Iben responded to the call of duty and was about to lay hold on one of the combatants when he felt something brushing his face with the gentle touch of trip hammer. When he had time to look around he discovered it to be Manuel Gomez, who had no interest in the fight up to that moment. When he looked in the glass he saw the cu- ticle had been scruffed up on one side of his face and where it was still in tact it bore an unnaturally ruddy hue, But he stuck to his work and in due season McCann and himself had the trio at the carcel.
 Gomez was content to let his two friends settle their differences He was willing even to let the deputy sheriff butt into the game but when he saw Iben take a hand he reasoned that the hope of the Mexican race was about to get the worst of it, perhaps not be- ing aware of the deputy's prerogative of calling for help when he needed it. Warrants were secured of Justice Johnstone for the three men.

THE END OF THE STRING.

It is said that Senator stephen E. Elkins will not appear in the senate again for a long time. if at all. He has been a very active man from the time he went to Missouri as a young man right up to the end-if the end is near. Although three times elected to the senate he has spent but very little time in that body. He could not stand the slow pace, and after sitting a moment he would go to his committee room,s call up man on the long distance telephone and be- gin the transaction of business. He would do as much business every day at the capitol as two or three ordinary men, after having put in a full days work at home before he started out. He never thought of rest or vacation. A friend of the senator, knowing the constant and heavy pressure under which he work ed, once said to him: If you don't let up, some day a little thing will nap inside your head and from then on you will be wheeled about your West Virginia home and sink grad ually into oblivion" That was near ly six years ago. Elkins said he would rest as soon as he cOuld get things in shape" and when the little thing snaps they are as much en- grGssed in business as ever.

If we take ad- vantage of these discounts we can sell the goods to you for less money The only way we can do this is by keeping up collections and having the money on hand to discount our bills.
 Furthermore, by having a regular monthly pay ment system remind people of their small bills who might otherwise forget and move out of town. If they did and this amount Ost it would enter into cost of doing business and that would be added on to the price So this statement plan saves you money every time you buy goods here.
