Evil Of Procrastination.

Here is one that was handed across

onstration Of the evil Of procrastina.
tion.
Recently, according to the Congress
man, there was a prominent case in a
big court in which one Of the princi.
pal witnesses was a woman OF uncer.
tain years. The fair one had given
her name and address, and then came
that awful question:
Madam" said the cold, merciless
lawyer, "how old are your"
There was no answer. The witness
was hesitating. All kinds Of ages in
clusters and punches were doubtless
rushing through her mind, and she
was trying to think of one to suit the
occasion.
Madam" said the mean, unfeeling
lawyer again, will you please be kind
enough to tell this court how old you
are?"
Still no answer. It was too serious
problem for only an instant's DELHI
Grafton. Besides, what business was
it of the court's?"
why don't you answer the ques-
ton, madam" interposed the equally
unfeeling Judge. The longer you hes.
itate the older You will be."--Philadel-
phia Telegraph.

BANKERS CR|TIC|SE
THE CURRENCY BILL
Declare Advantages of the
Proposed System are
Very Few.
(NatIonal News Association

CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-Criticism of
the administration currency bill as eX-
pressed today by S. Barton Hepburn,
chairman of the board of directors of
the Chase National Bank of New
York, in his address before the meet
ing of bankers representing fifteen bill
lion dollars in this city today may be
summarized as follows:
Banks control the men whose train
ing and experience would seem to
qualify them for the administration
of respective boards of the federal re-
serve bank,Nare Disseminated against
and kept in tn minority. Banks are
obliged to furnish>the capital but are
deprived of even approximate control.
Credit Control-Although under the
federal control, banks can loan to no
one but the member banks and may
not be in the funds to loan to them,
yet they require to fix and publish the
rate of discount. %
Saving BaEks-If compelled to ap-
portion capital and reserve, to their
savings bank business may it not in
duce national banks to give up that
class of business.
Banks Investment-For the govern
ment to specifically direct banks to
make certain investments, is an inva-
sion of the field of credit and some
thing no other nation has ever done.
Redemption of Note Issues-This
provision making the government res
ponsible for the notes which the banks
are to issue, violates the principles of
economies and contrivenes the expert
ence of the great commercial nation
Reserve-The requirement that Ger,
tain amount must be kept with the
new regional reserve banks purely as
a reserve will curtail the loaning pow
ers of the absorbing banks.
Regional Reserve Banks-Will there
not naturally and inevitably be com
petition between the regional reserve
banks, competition between the twelve
sections of the country and may we
not in the need have cash holdings be-
tween individual banks added to the
competition of section against section
reserve banks against reserve banks.
Mortgage Loans-One great need
of the country is mortgage or land
credit banks but should they not be
separately organized and separately
managed institutions.
Advantage of Proposed System
They are difficult to find and seem tc
be of distinctly negative character
So far as the reginoal reserve banks
are competitors with the banks fol
business, is it not going too far to com
pei the banks to contribute one-fifth
of their. capital in order to create com
petition.

PUT RECENT LAW IN
EFFECT NEXT YEAR
Information About Vocation
al Law is Received in
Richmond.

County Supt. Williams received in
formation from the state supervisor
of education which intimated that the
vocational training law, providing for
the establishment of a county high
school would not be put into effect
until next year. There are many fea
lures about the work which will have
to be taken up by the officials of the
state department before counties
about the state purchase sites for ag-
ricultural higa1schools as the state
will be called upon to furnish a large
part of the necessary funds to finance
such institutions in accordance with
the law.
The commissioners have been con-
templating the purchase of the Sutton
property west of the city for such a
project though no definie action has
ever been taken. This property is the
most desirable in Wayne county be-
cause of the condition of the soil, the
number of acres and it's locality. The
matter will probably be put off until
next year.

TO Congress Next
Monday.
CONFERS WITH BRYAN
Lind Has Been Instructed to-
Do Nothing TO Change
the Status.
National News Association,

WASHINGTON, Aug 22.-washing-
ton today awaits the complete and
definite statement of policy which
President Wilson will give regard
ing Mexican affairs, when he sends
his special message To Congress Mon
day. The president made no state
ment today, and is spending all his
time upon the preparation OF this
message, which will include the Am
erican proposal to President Huerta
through Envoy Lind and the reply OF
Huerta.
President Wilson does not propose
TO lay his hand entirely on the table
in this message, and will outline his
future toward Mexico in only the most
general terms. II is unlikely that
any event will intervene between to-
day and Monday TO cause a modifi-
, cation of the message, and in tho
meantime Envoy Lind has been in
structed not to take any steps which
will cause a change in the present
status
Secretary Bryan was called into
conference by President Wilson early
today in regard to the preparation
OF the message. and Secretary Dan
tels also conferred with the president.
The United States today served no.
tice on President and on General Ca
rama that they will be held per
sonally responsible for the safety OF
Shurley Hulse and W. b. Fuller and
their families. Hulse is a son-in.law
of Lieutenant GGovnrnor Reynolds
of Pennsylvania. and Fuller is asso-
ciated with him in the construction
of a large dam at Kewahwah City.

nothing of either of the men for ten
days. and they were last reported
as being in danger of their lives from

TO ASK CHANGE OF
JUDGE FOR TERRY
Prosecuting Attorney Says
There is Little New
Evidence.

Prosecuting Attorney Keller and
Prosecutor Edwards of Union county
will ask change of judge in the trial
of Owen Terry charged with being an
accessory in the murder of Marshal
Richardson of Cottage Grove last
March
Terry was recently found guilty of
the crime charged against him and
Judge Fox granted a new trial on the
found guilty beyond a reasonable
doubt -
Prosecutor Keller said as near as he
could learn there was very little new
evidence which would change the case
as far as the state was concerned
Now that Judge Fox has granted a
new trial on the grounds that the de-
fendant was not proven guilty beyond
a reasonable doubt he would be COM
PEELED to grant another new trial on
the same grounds if the same evidence
were introduced in the next trial, even
though the jury might again return a
verdict of guilty as in the first trial.
said Prosecutor Keller.
Attorney Walter Bossert has secur-
ed the assistance of a local attorney
to aid him in Terry's defense in the
next trial. That the defendant cannot
be tried On the charge against him and
that the wrong charge has been placed
against Terry will be argued by the
attorneys for the defense. Terry mere
1y handed his father the gun which
the latter used to kill Richardson, it
was said. The son had no knowledge
that his parent would use the weapon
in the manner he did and was walking
away from the scene of trouble when
the gun was taken from him he test
fed An accessory before the fact
must have premeditated the crime
with the person who committed it or
incite him to do it, according to Ter
rvs attorneys.
Judge Fox stated this morning he
would appoint another Judge to hear
the case if petitioned for a change of
Judge. Terry will never go to the pen
itentiary as long as | am on the bench
on the evidence which was introduced
at the recent trial. said Judge Fox.

AUDIENCE IS LARGE
DESPITE WEATHER
"LittleThings That Count, .
Says Professor Adams,
in Lecture.

In spite of the steady drizzle of
rain at 10 o'clock this morning, a good
sized crowd assembled at the Chau-
tauqua to hear the lectures by Prof.
and Mrs. Adams, and the exercises
were taken by almost all of those at
tending. In his lecture, Grown Dt-
vine by Overcoming" Prof. Adams
said that the fatalistic viewpoint of
life was disastrous to progress and
improvement and that it was the over
coming of the obstacles of life which
made for the better He said: ut is
the little things of this life which
make or mar us. things which by their
very size seem insignificant but which
are vitally important. We can over
come our surroundings and environ
ment if we try and if we don't failure
is certain. The matter of health is so
easily acquired and natural actions in
accordance with natures laws, that
we should all be healthy, even If we
have a poor body at the start"
H. Mrs. Adams took charge of the work
and devoted most of her time to lead
ing in the Adams system of exercises.
She gave the rule for the blood as
follows: "Eat~to make blood; exer-
else to circulate IT.. breath deeply to
purify it." One of the special exer-
cises of the morning was the simple
and correct way to rise from, a chair
and to return to a sitting POSTURE Ac-
cording to Mrs. Adams we use our
hands and backs to force our bodies
into the chair, but it should be en-
tirely movement of the limbs. Mrs.
Adams urges the people to come to
the tent clothed as simply as possible
and said this morning, "Of all the ar
ticles of clothing the coat is the great
est impediment to active physical ex-
ercise tight collar is bad for the
nerves."
