TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION
PLYMOUTH AND ARGOS

One of the arguments Of the saloon
forces is that if Plymouth goes wet,
Argos will go dry. Now wouldn' t
that be just awful. Because Argos
might probably sell her soul to the
saloons for a very doubtful mess OF
trade pottage, that is of course, a
very good reason why Plymouth
should sacrifice her reputation and
the lives of her youth to the saloon
influence.
We do not believe , for minut
that there is one chance in hun
dred that Walnut township will go
"wet if vote is taken there. In
the option election of March 1909
Walnut township cast a dry majority
of 2S4. Does anyone think that
there would be since then sufficient
change In the opinions of her citizens
to put Walnut In the wet column?
Plymouth people are going to de
eide this question according to their
own judgment and convictions in the
matter, and not depend on Argos 70
their thinking. We should set high
example before Argos and Walnut
township that they may have for us
a greater respect than heretofore
Plymouth has to consider no only her
own boys and girls, men and women
IN this matter, but the influence on
all the rest of the county--and this
Is a thing the voters should not for
get when they vote next Friday
Their responsibility is as wide as the
county In its direct effects, and much
wider In its indirect influence.

WHERE ART WAS AT FAULT
House Maid Has Trouble With Pic
ture Of Leaning Tower Of
Pisa.

Among the engravings that adorned
the walls Of Toledo woman's home
was ono big one of the leaning tower
of Pisa. One morning, shortly after
the advent Of q new maid, the mis-
tress of the house noticed that the
picture Of thu tower hung crooked
She Strengthened 1t and said nothing
of the matter to the new servant,
who had evidently shifted It while
busting. The next day the picture
was again crooked; the same thing
happened the next day and the next.
Finally, one morning, CHANGING to be
In the room where the picture Was,
the mistress said to the maid as she
busted:
Mary, you've hung that picture Of
the tower crooked. Just look at IT."
That's what l say, num-" returned
the domestic. Took at 1t! The only
way l can git that blamed tower TO
hang straight is to hang the picture
crooked. "-Lippincott's

Costumes of Fish Skins.

Among the most wonderful gar
ments worn at the present day are
the curious fish skin dresses of the
wealthy women of the Gold tribe, liv-
ing along the Amur river, East ST.
IBERIA Though they can neither read
nor write these people are producing
astonishing ornaments, designs and
embroidery work.
The dress is composed of several
layers of fish skin, the undermost
representing the skin of the garment
proper, the uppermost showing the
ornaments in their cut-out forms. Be
tween these two layers Is inserted a
middle layer, which serves as a back
ground, throwing out distinctly all
parts of the ornaments. The pieces of
fish skin forming the ornaments are
generally colored blue. The front and
back of the dress is adorned with
these cut-out pieces of fish skin sewed
with fish skin thread-Christ;an Her

EARTH WEARS DUST BLANKET
lnsrsasss Temperature. In Daytime
and Checks Fall Of Temperature
at Night.

When the air II very thick and
hazy It may contain floating dust par
ticles to the number of from 10000 to
10000 In every cubic centimeter,
while cubic contimeter Of very clear
air may contain only from q dozen to
. few hundred particles.
An English observers data indicates
that there Is relation between the
quantity of dust and the temperature
of the air. A great amount of dust,
1t is thought, increases the tempera-
ture In the daytime and checks the
fall OF temperature at night
The reason is that the presence of
dust serves as an obstruction to the
free radiation of heat through the
air. Tie sunbeams pass through very
pure, clear air without lending much
heat to 1t, and at night the heat re-
ceived by the ground during the day
readily escapes through the same air;
but il the atmosphere is heavily laden
with dust, the suns rays are partially
arrested by the particles which, be-
coming heated, In turn warm the air,
and In like manner heat radiated from
the earth at night is retained in the
hazy layers of air In contact with its
surface.
Without its atmosphere, which
serves as coverlet to protect 1t
against the fearful cold of space, the
surface of the earth would be frozen
like that of the airless moon. But the
data gathered by reliable observers
show that the atmospheric blanket
wrapped around our planet varies in
its power to retain heat in proportion
to the amount of dust particles that 1t
ontains.-Harper's Weekly.

From the Blue Bird.

In Maeterlinck's1 Blue Bird" little
Tyltyl goes to some far-off heavenly
place to learn that love abides with
him at home. There he meets Mother
Love. He says he wishes to stay with
her always, where she looks so beauti-
full to him. She answers. But it's
just the same thing; / am down be-
low, we are all down below.
You have come up here only to realize
and to learn, once and for all, how to
see me when you see me down below.
/. Do you understand, Tyltyl,
dear? You believe yourself in
heaven; but heaven is wherever you
and l kiss each other. There
are not two mothers, and you have no
other. Every child has only
one; and 1t Is always the same one
and always the most beautiful; but
you have to know her and to know
how to look.

Austrian State Coach.

The emperor Austria owns the most
beautiful state coach In existence. Its
proportions are perfect and the finish
of the holdings and carvings are ex-
quisite. 1t was built In 1896, and is
shaped with all the curves which dis
tinguish Louis Quatorve furniture.

The panels are adorned with nymphs
in the style of Rubens. Indeed, the
custodian inforrs those privileged to
view the coach that they are the work
Of Rubens. If Peter the painter had
not died Sc years before the coach was
built his statement would be believed.
1t is a more comfortable conveyance,
too. than the British state coach, being
hung upon well balanced springs.

NEW KIND OF SPEED FIEND
Happened to Be Arrested Six
Times.

A few weeks ago a man who was
tired of motoring" sold his machine to
q guileless friend.
Yesterday the purchaser approached
the man from whom he had bought
the car with a troubled expression on
his face, and In the tone of one who
has determined to do a disagreeable
duty, and do II at once.
Look here, Jack" he began, you're
q friend Of mine. and II don't want
to make any attacks on your YER
acity. But you told me that you had
been arrested six times in that auto
mobile you sold me.
Nov, I've tried my best, and l
can't get her up to FIVE miles an hour.
Would you mind telling me how you
happened to be arrested"
The purchaser had no small amount
cf sarcasm In his voice by this time,
but his friends answer came read
lily:
Certainly" said the man who had
got rid of the motor car. that's all
right. I was arrested six times. II

1uzxard Freed Of Trap.

After chase of three hours, Abram
Layton and his son captured one of the
largest buzzards ever seen in this sec.
ton. Attached to the birds leg was
a steel trap and an iron chain three
feet long. The buzzard was so emar
ciated that it could hardly fly with its
burden, which 1t had evidently carrier
for months. as the wound made by tn
swapping of the steel trap had entirer
healed.
The bird did not show fight, but
seemed glad to get rid of its burden,
and IL looked SO pitiful that Mr.. Lay
ton had compassion on it and set 1t
free.-Clayton Correspondence Phila-

The art of flying kites is carried to
its greatest perfection at the large
astrological observatories, and the
best records of attitudes up to date
have been made at Mount Weather,
Va, and Lindenberg, Germany. The
former station Is 525 meters above sea
level, the latter only 100, a circum-
stance that should be remembered In
comparing the records made in the
two places. Tho following list of the

Fastening Battery Wires.

There are two ways of doing almost
everything, and this is especially true
of fastening battery and coil terminal
wires. One way is wrong. and the
other is to twist the bare end of the
wire around the terminal as the hands
of the clock move, and then tighten
up the nut. The reason for this is be-
cause the screw-thread is right-hand-
ed, therefore the tendency of the tight
ening nut will be to twist the wire
around the terminal tighter than 1t
was. Should the wire be twisted the
other :, the nut would tend to I'M
twist 1t and it would slip under the
nut and very likely get very poor
hold.

Business Methods in the Home.

There is some discussion going on
In England, according to the London
Daily Mirror, as to whether a man
should not manage the house. A wom-
an, say those in favor of the plan, is
never trained in business methods,
and when she has served apprentice
ship In business. before marriage
even, it was in q subordinate position
where she had merely to take orders
and carry them out mechanically. A
man is trained In managing subordin-
ates and systematizing work, no mat
ter what his calling may have been.
The alternative is that women
should receive training In business
methods and system.
