Climbing Parnassus.

In mythology Parnassus, mountain in central Greece, was sacred to the muses. The Delphian sanctuary of Apollo was on it's slope, and from be- tween its twin summit peaks flowed the fountain Castalia, the waters of which were reputed to impart the vir- tue of poetic inspiration. The highest peak, 8.O68 feet, was held sacred to Bacchus and the rest to Apollo and the muses, whence the saying of young po- cts climbing Parnassus."

I haven't anything against MT. De- Forest as chairman of the delegation, but am delegate to the State con. vention, the first one named among the district delegates, and I insist that it is only proper to let the dele gates themselves get together and elect their own chairman. They've got enough sense to do 1t. There is no question to my mind but that the leaders here have a majority of the votes to control any action the dele gates may take as g. whole, and the end would be just as favorable to them if the delegates were given the So ask, why should we bring this matter before this convention?"
 MT. Russell showed anger when he jumped up and shouted out: We wart the voters here tonight to know where the delegates stand and that they stand for their rights"
 Col. Murphy moved that the mat ter be indefinitely postponed.
 The motion was voted down and then Murphy wanted to know if the vote of the convention was binding in any way upon him.
 MT. Russell shouted, Don't you understand English; or course it does not bind you. it is merely an expres- sion of the sense of the convention"
 William Clifford, in a quiet, calm manner, explained that the matter was of little importance and he didn't see any use in arguing further on it A roll call vote was taken, Mr. Russell having called for a roll call vote.
 MT MurDhv voted a Ioud ssNo" against the motion. and MT. Quinlan said when his name was called, Let the delegates elect their own chair man." Four of those present did not vote. The convention adjourned at 8:55 o'clock
 The delegates were not instructed for any Presidential candidate.

About Tsmpsraturs.

The best authorities on the science of meteorology tell us that without the various changes in the temperature there would be a perfect calm at all times in all parts of the globe. A uni- form and unvarying barometric pres sure would everywhere prevail. and no evaporation or condensation. no clouds and no rain. In short, without changes of temperature which we something's think so uncomfortable the atmosphere would soon become poison ous, stagnant and incapable of sus- taining human life.

That there are many children who
simply can not memorize the in.
struction they re eceive in the schools
no one familiar with the actual con-
ditions will deny, but it is also
true. that the same children when
shown actual work, or visual object
lessons of the same subject taught
by verbal instruction, they are capa-
BILE Of understanding, and even able
to instruct others as to the know
ledge of facts. This we'll known
fact has caused the great inventor,
Thomas A. Edison, to spend millions
of money and years of his time to
develop a system by which the NOV
ing picture film can be made one of
the greatest of educational factors
in the public schools. We believe
in this idea firmly, and from per-
sonal experience have seen it dem.
onstrated in a cr ude way. In a
few years hence all the large schools
will be using moving pciture films
as part of the process of educating
the children. Milford Chronicle.

Syracuse in 1868. The contestants
were the Central Citys of Syracuse

the score was Al to II.
The game was delayed half hour
by the difficulty in finding an umpire.

''The game opened loosely upon both

Athletics played more carefully. while
the Central Citys grew more careless

considerable dissatisfaction was
manifested and expressed. and in two
innings rightfully so. at the evident

Smyrna would be a delightful
place in summer were it not for the
mosquito. These little pests make
outdoor life at times very unplea'
SAINT. 1t has been suggested that
crusade be started to exterminate
them and that nobody is better fitted
to start the movement than our
Board of Health. The latter, it
is further contended, might be ma
terially aided by civic committee
of our Twentieth Century Club. The
following from the Philadelphia
Press, shows how Ridley Park, Pa,
is ridding itself of the pest. 1t
says: "Armed to the teeth, party
of trusty Ridley Park men and
women. headed by Dr.. H. A. Sur
face, head of the State Biological
Department. made a desperate on
slaught recently upon the head
quarters of the biting little pests,
the summer mosquito. So deter
mined was the attack that the swift
winged, nimble skeeter stood no
chance.
Through marsh and me adow the
party of patriotic citizens tramped
with a determination to rid the
pretty little borough of the peskY
insects. At times the entire party
was obliged to crawl on hands and
knees through the underbrush and
foliage. The women as we'll as the
men forded streams and visited
every known hiding place of the
pest.
"Ths heroic party, in spite of its
diligent search, scratched faces,
torn clothing and tired appearance,
was able to capture only one tiny
larva, which DR.. Surface carried off
in triumph to the town hall, where
he placed it under a microscope and
explained it's habits to the enthusi-
astic audiance.
"Weeks ago the citizens of Rid
ley Park instituted a campaign
against the mosquito. The women 8
Club, headed by its president, Mrs.
j. Howard Reber, took up the fight
and interested the Councilmen ana
the Civic Association. In the late
winter months much time was spent
in reading of the habits of the mos
quito. Lectures were given and
prominent speakers told how to eli
inmate the pest.
"The entire population, consisting
of 1000 men, women and children,
took up the crusade. Cellars were
fumigated. rubbish heaps cleared of
cans and receptacles for stagnant
water and pools were sprayed with
kerosene. So we'll was the cam.
paign carried out that after his
careful examination of Ridley Park
and its surrounding, DR.. Surface was
of the opinion that Ridley Park
would enjoy summer of peace anc
quiet as of old, free from the sum

Our congratulations to the Club

they displayed in their thrse-day
County Fair would have done credit

rated their Fair six years ago. 1t
was a red letter day in the history
of Smyrna. The "Old Home Day"
features alone, the bringing back
home of former Smyrnians was a
delightful feature. Aside from this
the Fair was a big advertisement to
Smyrna. None can comprehend how
far reaching such an institution is
to our town. Its boon to trade and
a help to the community socially and
financially. We are glad our club
women have the pluck to undertake
it and hope their ardor will not
dampen along these lines, but that

THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS
Value Of Education.

By DR.. EDWARD L TRUDEAU.
The first and greatest need in
the prevention of tuberculosis is
education-education of the peo-
pie and through them education
of the state. 1t is evident that
If every man and woman in the
United States were familiar with
the main facts relating to the
manner in which tuberculosis is
communicated and the simple
measures necessary for their
protection not only might we
reasonably expect as direct re-
suit OF this knowledge a great
diminutiOn in the death rate of
the disease, but the people would
soon demand and easily obtain
effective legislation for its pre-
vention and control. When a
state has once become well edu-
Gated and not before will the
other requisites necessary to the
control Of the disease be forth
coming
