Taft Wants Harmony

The President, 1t can be stated, has
taken the one position with all of his
New York callers, that the party leaders
In that state must get together prior to
the convention. He wants harmony. The
only split seems to be on the question
of the platform declaration as to direct
primaries The President says he sees
no reason why satisfactory solution of
this problem cannot be found.
Aunt Della Torrey arrived at the
Presidents cottage by automobile tonight
from her home at Millbury. She will
spend several days here.
President Taft has received the follow
ing cordial message from the Emperor Of
China:
$40 the President of the United States of
America:

returned from his mission to study the
military systems abroad. has given us an

His Last REQUEST.

Charles Dickens used to relate an
anecdote of the last moments of Faun-
tleroy, the great banker. hanged for
forgery in 1924. His elegant dinners
had always been followed by some re-
markable and matchless coracao, the
source of which he kept deep secret.
Three of his boon companions had
an interview with him in the con.
demned cell the day before his exc.
cution. They were about to retire,
when the most impressive of the
three stepped back, and said: "Faun.
tleroy. you stand on the verge of the
grave; remember the text, my dear
man. that we brought nothing into
this world. and it is certain we can
take nothing out Have you any objec.
ton, therefore, to tell me now, as a
friend. where you got that curacao?"

DEFY THE FLEETING YEARS
Ancient English Peer and Others Dis.
prove the Absurd "Too Gid at
40" Theory.

The advocates of the "too old at
40' principle have not had things all
their own way lately In fact, old age
has developed an unexpected capacity
for self-defense, and that not by words
on which youth is too apt to rely
but by deeds. We have the case Of
Sir John Bigham, now in his seven
tieth year, who is showing his col
leagues in the law courts that the
only way to reduce arrears is by
working on them, the London Express
says. Lord Halsbury, again, does
marvellous things at SO; while, to
crown all, Lord Wemyss recently cels.

IS years of more or less strenuous
parliamentary life, by taking a WALL
on Hampstead heath.
The three instances we have quoted
are all of Woodworking men, whose
energy, although great, has been con-
centrated. They have not dissipated
their time in a multitude of interests,
nor have their energies been expended
In violent exercises, whether physical
or mental. Probably they all feel as
young to-day as many "under-forties.' :.
AS matter of fact, of course, mere
counting of years is no guide at all to
mans real age. What he will be
like at, say, seventy, depends entirely
upon how he has spent his life until
then. The best sign posts on the road
are moderation-not only in drink. but
in all things-a healthy mind and a
settled interest in life. Armed with
these and good constitution, there
are few who might not be as young al
81 as is Lord Wemyss.

Unaware There Were Two.

Miss Elsie DeWolf, while taking up
a collection at the Colony Club for the

1t was late in the afternoon when
the herd. which was in the far corner
Of Its Enclosure, began to move to

frisking and bucking, for the cool all
was raising the temperature of buf
falo blood.
Arrogant and defiant, the young bull

walked right over to the confident

And then came fight which looked
as If 1t were to be to a finish. The
young bull pulled back, switched his

GERMAN SPIES IN ENGLAND
Story About Teutonic Waiter Recalls
United States Japanese But
Ter Scare.

The menace" with which Ameri-
cans have become familiar during the
threat" of Japanese-American war
and which generally took the form of
Japanese buffers who were really
spies is now getting in it's same old
deadly work in England. Over there
the threat" is of an Anglo-German
war; SO the menace" naturally be-
comes Teutonic waiter.
Under the heading GA Real Menace"
a man writes to Gentlewoman as
follows:
Il must confess that without being
IN the least a scaremonger the pres
ence OF such crowds of foreigners in
our midst does not tend to make one
feel altogether comfortable. Most Of
all does the German waiter flourish
at all the restaurants, whether smart
or otherwise, all over this great Lon
don OF ours, and in case of an inva.
sion from overseas what part would
these gentry play in the general com,
motion?
by way of answer will repeat a
story that is now being told in the
clubs on the best authority. A gen.
tleman of English birth, but possess
ing in marked degree the gift of
tongues entered a well-known restau-
rant with the air of being German.
He was soon on easy terms with the
Teuton who of course attended to his
creature comforts. Before leaving he
requested few minutes private con-
versation with the kellner, who by
that time had become expansive.
Have you,' quoth the linguist in
most fluent German, your orders for
when the great moment arrives?'
oh, certainly replied the waiter.

STEVENS COPPER BOOK
IS IN NINTH EDITION
Foremost Authority on Subject
Raises Standard in Latest
Annual Publication

The ninth annual edition OF the Cop
per Handbook, edited and published by
Horace J. stevens Houghton, Mich,
is just received. This work, which has
become a standard authority on the
subject for the entire globe, has, in
its latest edition, 1928 octave pages,
containing considerably more than a
million words, and in addition to the
miscellaneous chapters, lists and de-
scribes no fewer than 7751 copper mines
and copper mining companies In all
parts of the world, descriptions rang
ing from two or three lines in the case
of companies that have died recently
to sixteen pages in the case OF one or
the largest mines-a mine, by the way,
that employs some seven thousand
men and has paid dividends of consid-
erably more than 500, 100000.
The mine descriptions are the same
as in the preceding volume, except that
upwards of 800 new titles have been
added covering descriptions not con-
tained in any previous edition.
The chapter of statistics, contain
ing upwards of forty tables, treating
OF copper from almost every conceiv-
able standpoint, has been fully re-
Vised and brought as nearly as possible
to date.
The miscellaneous chapters of the
book, twenty-four in number, treat
of the subject of copper from a great
variety of standpoints, including the
history chemistry, mineralogy metal
iurgy and uses Of the metal, and this
section of the book also has chapters
devoted to substitutes, alloys, brands
and grades, and copious glossary.

remains the same as for seven years
past, the publisher sending the book
by mail, fully prepaid, to any address
ordered, without advance payment of
any sort, and subject to approval atter
weeks inspection. The price is 80.
That this unusually liberal plan has
proved successful is shown by the
statement Of the publisher that net
losses through returned copies and
defaulted payments are less than per
cent. ANY one interested In the sub
ject of copper. as producer, consumer
or investor in shares, should write to

ALAMO SHIPS FIFTY TONS
HIGH GRADE TO G0LDFIELD

GOLDFIELD, April 1O.-A car of
high grade ore. consisting of about fifty
tons of selected ore from the Alamo
company's workings at Lucky Boy,
was sent out from the railway station
at Thorne last Saturday, and will be
first sampled at Hazen by the Western
Ore Purchasing company, and thence
sent to smelter at Salt Lake. This is
to secure a preliminary sample at
Hazen, but the ore will be sold to the
smelter. 1t is anticipated that the
gross value will be in the neighborhood
of $4,000 or $4,000.
Johnnie Miller, president and man.
ager of the Alamo company, is in
charge of the shipment. This ore is
somewhat higher grade than the gen.
eral run of the mine, but the values
in the lower levels have been increas-
ing in such a pronounced way lately
tnat other selected shipments can cas-
ily be made TO duplicate it.

come of the boring for oil which has
started In the hills near Reedley. The
work is we'll under way and it is
planned to bore at least 2400 feet If
necessary to find Oil
Everything indicates that oil is un-

and Kern River field. If oil is found
it will be a veritable boon for Reedley
The city is located near the scene of
operations and will no doubt be the
center for supplies.
Indications of oil are found to the
eastern limits of Reedley and If the
present operations prove oil is really
in this locality the price of land will

will find oil.
