WHAT BRINGS SUCCESS

1t takes more than &c a week to be
devoted to booming towns to get
results despite hundreds of small
town business men s organizations are
trying to get along on one dollar per
year membership dues. It takes
effective organization and u snug
treasury to go out and land things
worth while nowadays and a cleverly
compiled booklet descriptive of the
territory one is trying to boost
assists nightly
A year ago the Upper Peninsula
Development Bureau was organized
and its success has been so great that
a few months ago Theo. E. Quinby.
D few years ago managing editor of
the Detroit Free Press. displaced the
first So, 500 year secretary at Sd, 900
salary. Quinby has been 80 effective
that last month his salary was
Increased to So, 900 year without
solicitation. He is the highest paid
man Of all the development league
workers of Michigan. Good men pay.
The little city of Fremont has for
years maintained board of trade and
now collects So per year from each
business man as dues. Fremont has
steadily forged to the front because of
enterprising methods. Portland Is
another Michigan small town that is
progressive. Every week or SO the
business men get together in the town
hall and discuss such timely subjects
as Good Roads, Parcels Post,
Advertising, Bargain Days, Base
Ball, Band, What will bring trade on
Saturdays, etc. Music is furnished
by a business mems quartet, the
cigars are passed and every merchant
keeps alive home town interest.

STUDENTS HURT IN CRASH
Girls and Boys Hurled 80 Feet to
Concrete Floor by Collapse
of Platform.

Peoria, H., April 15.-Thirty-one
boys and girls were injured, ten seri-
ously, in an accident at the Woolner
distillery. A party of Bradley Poly
technic institute students, on tour
of inspection of the plant, were pre-
cipitated headlong to a concrete floor
when a platform in the fermenting
room broke under the weight of the
students.
When the platform surrounding one
of the twenty-five foot watts broke,
thirty-f1ve students were dashed to
the ground floor in mass of strug-
Cling humanity. Large beams sup
porting the upper floor came hurting
down upon them. The big pipes of
the sprinkling system broke and
within minute the room was flood
ed with water. Prompt rescue work
saved the students from drowning.

THE BABY FLY BAIT

The best fly bait is a baby. This
Interesting fact was discovered by the
Worlds Work as the result of a
campaign to discover the best method
of attracting flies to traps. The
answer was intended as joke. 1t is
no joke. The baby is the best fly bait
in the world. The trouble is that
the fly often kills the bait and the
bait never can kill the fly. Babies
are helpless against flies. They can't
brush them away as grown people do.
They simply cry when fly bites
them, or crawls over their faces,
leaving in many cases the germs of a
fatal disease. Half of our infant
mortality. it is estimated, is caused
by disease spread by the common
house fly.
The battle against flies this year
should be begun at the sources. One
of these is the horse stables where
careless owners allow refuse to &C.
cumulate. Millions Of flies breed and
develop in these piles If there is one
In your neighborhood call up the
board of health Immediately and
Insist on its removal At least
demand that it be sprayed with one
of the many soIutious-kerosene is one
of the mmonest-which will rob it
of its dangers.
Live flies mean dead babies The
generation which will spread death
and disease a few months hence is
matching now. Flies should be
killed in their infancy Prompt
action will kill thousands in the egg.

summer are all right. Fly campaigns
in early spring are ten. twenty.
fifty times better. Start now.

THE PANAMA CANAL

Facts about the Panama canal are
most interesting to the average person
who keeps in touch with the situation
and the worlds happenings.
Charles Richard Marks of Boston
contri butes to the New York Sun
short article into which he has con
densed a great deal of the kind of
information about the Panama canal
that the average man at this time
feels like FASTING in his hat or storing
in his memory. The facts as they
are presented seem simple enough,
but some Of them have been extracted,
no doubt, at the cost of laboring
research. Thus, you enter tbs canal
at Limon bay and find it at sea level
for seven miles; then you come to an
enormous dam, mile and half long
by half a mile wide. Here the

For the Welfare of Texas.

Houston, Tex, April 15.-The Texas
welfare commission met here today
for the purpose of receiving articles
and hearing addresses bearing on the
matters which it is investigating. The
commission is composed Of Is citizens
who have been selected to sit through
out the year to study industrial and
economic conditions in Texas, to in
vestigate complaints that the bust
nesses of the state are not producing
satisfactory profits and to ascertain
whether the welfare of the state re-
quires the amendment Of the laws, r.
G. Duff of Houston is the chairman of
the commission.

Chagres river is impounded, as we'll
as other streams covering a basin Of
1920 square miles. These altogether
would make body of water, if the
nine miles Of the CUebra cut to
Pedro Miguel be included, a little
larger than Lake Oneida.
From sea level to this lake is lift
of eighty five feet, divided into three
steps or locks, each 1000 feet long by
10 feet wide. Each lock is sub
divided into cham bers of 400 to 900
feet each. These locks are duplicated
SO that traffic going and coming can
be accommodated at the same time
Boats will be towed through the
locks by electric locomotives running
on cog rails Gatun lake will cover
fully one third of the canal zone of
448 square miles and about two thirds
of the length of the canal proper.
While In this lake vessels crossing
the isthmus may steam at full speed.
Power for the operation of the lUcks,
lights, etc will be generated from a
spilIway situated midway of the
Gatun dam. 1900 feet long by 300 feet
wide. During the rainy season the
maximum run-off from the watershed
of 1920 square miles will fill the lake
one and one-half times.
According to this writer, who
seems to be greatly impressed with
all that has been thus far accom-
plished, if the United States will
allow building in the zone the
isthmus will soon become great
winter resort. Beautiful Lake Gatun,
he thinks. will soon become dotted
with sailboats, as the constant trade
winds will make this form of
pleasuring very popular. There are
sites for many fine places along the
shores, as we'll as among the hills of
perpetual green. This is confrmatory
of what others have been saying
recently, and it looks very much as
if not merely the zone, but all of that
territory Familiarity known as
Panama, might become to Canada
and the United States what Italy is
to Europe.

ROOSEVELT AND i
WILSON WINNERS
Both Sweep Pennsylvania in
State Primaries.
COLONEL VICTOR BY z TO l
He Will Probably Win Delegates at
Large in the Convention-Har-
mon May Carry One
District.

Philadelphia, April 15.-Returns
from the state primaries held for the
election of delegates to the Republic
an and Democratic national and state
conventions indicate that Roosevelt
has won SO out of the ga delegates
and that Gov. Woodrow Wilson swept
the state with the possible exception
Of the Eleventh district, where two
delegates who favor Harmon are in
the lead.
Indications are that the Roosevelt
men have won a majority of the dele
gates to the state convention, which
means that the IL delegates at large
to be chosen by the state convention
will be for Roosevelt.
Colonel Sure of Twenty-Six.
Figures show that Roosevelt carried
the Fourth and Sixth districts in
Philadelphia; the Seventh, comprising
Chester and Delaware counties; the
Tenth, Lackawanna county; the Elev-
enth, Luzerne county; the Thirteenth,
Lehigh and Berks counties; the Fiji
teenth, Potter, Clinton, Tioga and Ly-
coming counties; the Seventeenth,
comprising eight counties in the south
central portion Of the state; the Nine
teenth, Cambria, Blair and Bedford
counties; the Twenty-frst, in the
north central portion; the Twenty
third, made up Of the three counties in
the southwest corner Of the state, and
the Twenty-seventh, comprising Clar-
ion, Armstrong, Jefferson and Indiana
counties.
Indications are he also has won the
Twelfth district, Schuylkill county,
and the four Pittsburgh districts in
Allegheny county.
Taft Carries Five Districts.
Besides the first three districts in
Philadelphia, President Taft has car
ried the Ninth, Lancaster county, and
the Twentieth, comprised of Adams
and York counties.
The only split delegations so far
reported are in the Fifth in Philadel-
phia and in the Eighteenth, in which
Harrisburg is situated. Incomplete
figures show Taft leading in the TWEEN
ty-fourth district along the western
boundary of the state and Roosevelt in
the Twenty-fifth, the two counties in
the northwest corner Of the state. Taft
is leading in the Eighth district, Bucks
and Montgomery counties.

Hooking up the gown of modern
fashion requires so much skill and
technical knowledge that Chicago has
opened a school of instruction. Men
are taking most of the lessons because
men are most in need of them. The
average man is pretty helpless being
around the house anyway, and if he
cannot hook up his wife's gown--if
that is what the process is called
he isn't any sort of use. Much in
struction is necessary to make him
handy and competent for the task
and a part of that instruction, if it is
thorough, will concern the language
it is proper he should not use when
he is unable to find the invisible
loops which belong to the invisible
hooks. AS long as fashion makes it
necessary that gowns should button
up and down the back with occasional
variations crosswise and on the bias,
with no free transfers at any inter
section, men who are married are
bound to have plenty to do and should
be well instructed in the ways of do
ing it.

A BUTTON OF SAFETY.

Four years ago the Portland (Ore.)
Street Railway company began the
compulsory instruction of it's motor
men and conductors in the prevention
of accidents. No new man was allowed
to run a car till he had received such
instruction. The road now carries
about twice as many passengers as 1t
carried four years ago, but an officer
of the company informs us that the
number of accidents has not increased.
The ratio of accidents to the number
of passengers, therefore, is only half
as great. A layman would suppose
that every street car company would
surely all well-managed companies do.
But in Portland another step was TAX
en-. A lecturer was employed by the
company to address the children in
every public school. He distributed
buttons with P. S. L. on them, and
Public Safety league soon found itself
organized. There was for several
months thereafter only one street car
accident to a child. The car lines in
other cities have followed this exam
ple-Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, Los
Angeles among them, and some of the
western railroad companies have
adopted the button. This is very SIM
pie, as most helpful and practical
ideas are. It's a pity that it isn't ap-
plicable to the drivers Of automobiles
