THIS Is MY 6sTH BIRTHDAY"
Frank P1umley.

Frank Plumley, who represents the
Second Vermont district in the ma
tional house of representatives, was
born in Eden. VT, Dec. II. 1874. After
graduating from the law department
of the University of Michigan he was
admitted to the bar in 1869 and has
since practiced his profession at
Mortified. VT. His debut in public
life came in 1876, when he was elected
prosecuting attorney for his home
county. Later he served in both
branches of the Vermont Legislature,
filed the office of United States dis
trict attorney, and for four years sat
on the bench Judge of the Court of
Gains of Vermont. He was elected to
Congress on the Republican ticket in
1908 and has been twice honored with
reelection. Mr. Plumley is noted as
an authority on international law. In
1903 he was elected as umpire in the
settlement of the disputed claims of
England and Holland against Vene-
zuela and two years later ne again
served in the same capacity in the
French Venezuela dispute.

The tendency of modern business
is to eliminate experiments
The cost system of accounting
eliminates loss through waste.
The keyed advertisement makes
profitable advertising possibility.
Commercial rating reports reduce
the percentage of loss through bad
credits.
Large corporations reduce the cost
or experimenting to minimum
through applying to many offices and
warehouses the principles of econo-
my demonstrated in any one of
them; and the ose student of bust
ness eliminates loss by analyzing the
experience of others.
To study business psychology and
industrial organization is to give
hostages to fortune; but the man
whose eyes are closed to the experi-
ence of others can only succeed bv
miracles.
Progress us the art of combining
elements that have produced success.
and avoiding experiment.
Study and read.
Let the other fellow get the ex-
perience. He always will.

THE HOUSING PROBLEM.

How much blue sky, per capita, dc
you allot to the people of your city?
Determine that and you will know
what are living conditions.
In certain tenement districts in
Chicago and other large cities worn
out mothers, emaciated children and
hardworking men never see the blue
sky from the windows of their
crowded apartments. The result is
hindered development; physical.
mental and moral.
And then, only few miles away.
there are broad green acres where
the soul rejoices in its liberty, where
lungs test their expansion with fresh
air, where sunshine penetrates and
where the feet know the feel of the
earth beneath.
Before the era of Transportation
cities grew up in the air, congested
districts were numerous, the white
plague thrived. But now we are
building our cities laterally, not
horizontally and with the improve
ment in transportation facilities this
tendency increases
The garden cities of the east and
in the suburbs of European centers
of population are the latest results of
this tendency to spread out, to get
away from the CENTER
Here in the Calumet region there
are, as yet no slums, no great num-
Der of tenements no seriously con-
gested centers. But now is the time
to take steps to avoid these condi-
tions.
The solution is merely a matter of
transportation. There are, within a
twenty minutes ride of the larger
manufacturing plants of the Calumet
district. thousands of acres of fertile
land selling for 5000 to $500 an
acre
If this property could be subdivid-
ed into city blocks of five acres each.
so that they could eventually be cut
up into lots and re-sold when the
density of the population warrants,
each house holder could purchase a
two and half acre block for $500 to
5000 or whole five acre block for
$1,000 to $1,000 and have a piece of
property on which he could build his
house, plant fruit trees and garden
truck, raise chickens and pasture a
cow
The cost Of living would be dealt
body blow. the standard of eff
cheney of the employees in the mills
would be UNNECESSARILY increased,

PAINLESS DENTISTRY.

No more need the victim of an
aching tooth fear the dentists chair.
Thanks to progress in the dental
art the patient, for few dollars ex-
ira, can have the tenderest gums
prodded into and the most sensitive
cavity drilled by means of a new
process.
Analgesia is the name of the new
gas. Unlike ether or chloroform it
does not render the patient un-
conscious nor does it leave any
deleterious effects. 1t is wholly safe
and during the period of it's appli-
cation the patient is in "a sort of in
toxication" which permits the dent
list to operate with ease and without
causing pain.
Many of our local dentists employee
analgesia and the extra amount
charged for it is amply returned by
the absence of pain.

We confess that there are some
movements that we have little SYM

really historic let them buy the Erie

COME ON ART.

Did Dante ever see human be-
ings thus in the pit of the damn
ed?' he asks. He adds: Chicago
made me ILL., In that city 1 met
the blood infamy of present-day
civilization face to face and saw
into it and recognized it, Shall |
fee from it? WHITTIER? Can 1
escape hell? Where is there none?
The world today is hell"
So writes in his new book Arthur
a German writer who
visited Chicago recently. We advise
Arthur that he can flee from Chicago
very easily. Let him come out to the
Calumet region and escape. He will
find it heaven alongside of Chicago.

THE RIGHT DOPE.

Jersey judge has made ruling
that IT man earns only $12 per
week his wife is entitled to the
whole of it.
Very wise Judge.
If man hasn't "get-up-and-git,'
enough about him to earn more than
$12 per week his wife should have
every sou marquee of it.
Perhaps that decision will stir up
the $12 a week man a little.

nifty people were reported last night

morning to get them.
NO word has been received from

Reelfoot country. and it is believed the
whole family may have drowned.

comfortable as possible, measures are
now being considered for returning
them to their homes as soon as the
water recedes sufficient to make IL
