Quality Printing

ORIGINALITY and good taste in selection of
~ ink, type and stock, care in every little detail
of composition and press work-these must be COM
bned in the production of Quality Printing The
mechanic can and does produce the ordinary run
of printed junk-cheap fodder rushed thru the shop
with eye solely for the time sheet, and a reprmand
from the boss if his per centum of profit is not
forthcoming at typothetae prices. Only the crafts
man can bring forth work of merit, and therein
the small printshop has the advantage of many a
large establishment, with the mechanic predominant
on its pay rolls. Quality Printing is representative
of true art in that is appropriate to the purpose
intended, embodying utility to the utmost degree
The craftsmanprinter endeavors to fully understand
the purpose of the work he is set to accomplish
and carries the idea of appropriateness, of utility
with him thru every detail of the labor The result
must be satisfactory and in such case the price
not help but be so.

FAD BODY OF NURSE
Is FOUND IN RIVER
Identification Made by Her
Fiance and Officer
SUSPECT FOUL PLAY
Sheriff Thinks Body Was Brought Up
Stream in Boat and Deposited
Where Found-Found Sunday
Afternoon by Canoeists

catskll, N. Y, July 2s.-Today the body
of the young woman found yesterday aft
ernoon in Dubois creek near this village
was identified this afternoon as that of
Miss Dorcas I. Snodgrass. nurse, who
has been missing from tho home of her
sister in Mount Vernon since July II.
The identification was made by Fred
ericl1 Schmidt. the young woman's
fiance, an electrical contractort OF
Mount Vernon. and by Police Lieut.
M. L silverton of the same place.
The body was so badly decomposed
that Identification, except from the Jew
elry and clothing, was difficult Mr.
Schmidt and Lieutenant Silverton i'm
mediately identified diamond ring
and portions of clothing as property
of Miss Snodgrass. Schmidt recognized
the ring as the one he had given her
when they became engaged.
Mr.. Schmidt, after a thorough in
spection of the corpse, said:
I'm satisfied it is the body of Miss
Snodgrass"
Lieutenant Silverton was equally en-
phatic. There are many theories adj
Vanced as to events Immediately pre-
ceding Miss Snodgrass death and to
the cause of death itself. Coroner Van
Nandenburg has certified that from
the circumstances surrounding the case
the cause of death was drowning"
Local officials, however, are inclined
to believe Miss Snodgrass was the VIC
tim of foul play. Lieutenant Silver
ton expressed the opinion that Miss
Snodgrass died as the result of an ac-
cident.
Sheriff Post of Greene county, in
charge of the police investigation, to-
night said:
I'm my opinion Miss Snodgrass' dead
body was brought up Dubois creek in
launch or a boat and deposited at or
near the place where it was found 1
do not see how 1t would have been pos
sible for body to have been carried
by the tide as far up the stream
The body was found yesterday aft
ernoon by James Young and his daugh-
ter, who were canoeing. 1t was lying
in the reeds and rushes along the Dor
der of Dubois creek. The many turns
in the creek lead the officials to doubt
that the body was carried so far by the
tide

der the control of the so-called trust
In announcing the terms of settlement
MIR. Arnold said:
"As indicated by the written findings
returned last autumn by the grand Jury
which Investigated the subject OF weigh
ing, an exhaustive examination failed to
show evidence to justify the belief that
the officers or directors of the sugar
companies or the higher officials In the
customs services We're participants in tho
frauds, nor was there any bribery of
government weighers. The frauds were
to be accounted for largely because dis
cipline was lax, making 1t possible for
the refinery employees to get the better
OF the government agents..
The irregularities, Mr.. Arnold declared.
"have been eliminated the methods OF
weighing corrected and improved and no
further legal action is called for

Governor Wilson said he was deeply
grieved to find that during his absence

Washington. July 29.-The administra-

in defense of its policy of the conserva-
ton, of water powers and in this instance
President Taft has behind him such men
as Clifford Pinehot and other conservation
leaders
Secretary Of War stimson developed the
issue when he upset the old policy of the
war department of formally approving
without reference to commercial and 9TH
er conditions the bills annually passed
by congress for the erection of dams and
the utilization of water powers in
streams under the control of the ma
tional government. The secretary in
structed the army engineers to report in
every case whether the project had any
commercial value at present; whether
that value was likely to enhance in the
future; whether the particular stream
was likely to be improved at the public
expense and other such data. He wanted
this to enable him to say whether the
projectors of the various enterprises
should be called upon to share their pro-
fits with the people in case they proved

Csmpbelle and Campbelle. two YOUNG
ladies. CARRIED In a fetching blue, are
alone worth making special efforts to see.
The singing of the Beautiful Lady" from

Campbelles was as well done as the
most ardent sutton OF the Beautiful
Lady could have wished. "Circds Day
and Going Back to Dixie were both
rendered by Miss Campbelle with effect
and so pleased was the audience that the
performers were called back time and
time again.
Some were somewhat surprised over the
reception given the widely heralded "Suf-

comedy into vaudeville stunt was a
little too much and the audience was
not In total sympathy with the EFFORT.
The act was really good, but the swelter-
ing weather demands something cooling
and light. However, these two acts viii
draw crowds the remainder of the week.

are good and the pictures excellent.
