THE HARDNESS OF TrTANrUM.
(From the New York Press }

(From the New York Press.)
In one respect the diamond has al
ways stood pre-eminent in the mineral
world-that of hardness. Other sub
stances have rivaled it in beauty, and
at least one. the ruby, outranks it in
cost, but none in the whole list equals
1: in harness. Since the invention OF
the electric furnaces, however, which
is capable OF producing heat equal
to 7000 degrees Fahrenheit, at least
two products have been prepared
which have supplanted' the diamond
even in hardness. EXperimenters
have succeeded in producing titanium
in the electric furnace. in its pure
form it is much harder than steel or
quartz, and when combined with sill
con to form silicide of titanium,
or with boron TO form boride of til
tanium, it surpasses the diamond itself
III this quality.

AS ALWAYS.

She treated him as il he had
Been some unworthy thing:
II seemed. indeed. to make her glad
To see him worrying.
She seemed to study how to make
His moments doubly sad;
she seemed to want his heart to break
His sorrow made her glad.
At last, believing her to be
Unworthy and unkind.
He ceased his pleading, sensibly
Declining to be blind.
The moment that he turned away
And seemed to cease to care
She humbly called to him to stay.
And wilted in despair.
He tenderly forgave her when
Her tears began to flow;
For so 1t is with maids and men
II always will be so.

The plain reading of the new state
law makes it clear that all who wish
to vote here in the

election or any
other election whatsoever, save the
referendum election in November.
must register at the office Of the coun-
ty clerk.
In the past voters preparing for
city elections have been allowed to
register with the city recorder. But
the new law states that where the
boundaries of a city are coterminus
with an election precinct or group of
precincts-as is true here-the regis
tration shall be done by the county
clerk. The law also states explicitly
that all voters must register under
the new law in order to be qualified
to vote.
In view Of these facts it is difficult
to understand why there should have
been any confusion and why the usual
publicity was not given the fact the
registration books were open for city
election purposes.
AS a result of this oversight on the
part of whoever is responsible con-
siderable confusion is bound to en-
sue at the best. In order to get on
the register for the city election a
voter must register at the clerks Of

cate and he cannot have his vote
sworn in. II a special city election
is held here for the purpose of voting
on a commission charter it will be
necessary for voters to use their regis
tration certificates in order to qualify
at the polls. This will cause confus-
ion and will undoubtedly keep some
people from voting. Hs
: However, we cannot turn back the
calendar and the thing for people tc
do now is to register as fast as pos
sible.
Register at once and preserve your
registration certificates.

FROZEN IN THE HILLS

John Foster started for Jasper
Monday to bring down some par
ties but he was accompanied by a
hoodoo-cold- blooded and relent-
less-and thereby hangs a tale.
When crossing little mud hole
the other side of the Worral ranch e,
John twisted an axle of his car in
two and had to phone to Monte
Vista for another axle. Frank
Stevens went up to the scene, TAX
ing an axle, but it failed to fit by
two inches and was therefore use
less; 80 the whole party came back
to town with Frank. On Tuesday
John started for the hills again,
taking with him Clarence Shake
speare and repairs for the crippled
machine. When all repairs had
been made and the car was appar-
emily ready for return trip to the
garage, the engine was started and
the clutch thrown in-but she re-
fused to go. 1t was then found
that the spider" (Which is as nec-
essary an article as wheel to an
automobile) was broken. This
necessitated another trip from town
and the boys finally arrived here
late in the night without further
interference from the hoodoo,
which had frozen to death.

THE FOREST SERVICE
HAS BIG DEFICIT

The latest news" sent out from
the Denver District Forest Office
which was quoted promiscuously
by some of the newspapers, an
nounces that the administration of
the National Forests in Colorado,
Wyoming and South Dakota left
deficit of only one-half cent per
acre. The average person does not
stop to think how many million
acres are included in the Forests
in these states and the one-half
per acre looks trifling. But it is
different when viewed in the fol-
lowing light: Out of 27 National
Forests only four paid expenses
during the past fiscal year. The
deficit on several of the Forests
ran as high as $4,000 each. In
order to make the enormous loss
in conducting the National Forests
look as small as possible, the Dis
trict Office converts it into SO much
per acre. The revenue, however,
is left in round figures and not pro-
rated to the legal subdivision or
the board foot.

PENNSY MEN TO
TALK PENSION
Will Meet in Harrisburg on
November 30 to Talk
Over Plan
EARLIER RETIREMENT
UNDER CONSIDERATION

A movement is on foot among the
employees Of the Pennsylvania railroad
system on the lines cast and west Of
Pittsburgh 10 bring about a modiiica-
tion Of the voluntary retiring age, re-
ducing tito go years. which is meeting
with popular approval generally. A
meeting of Pennsylvania employees will
be held in Harrisburg on November 80
to consider the new pension plan.
!. Il IS thought that the change can be
brought about satisfactorily with the
company by agreeing to a small ad-
ditional monthly contribution to the
relief department 10 cover the in
creased cost Of paying pensions at
that age. This is not only desired by
the Old men. very many of whom
would like to retire If the retiring age
we're reduced TO 90 years, but should
be very popular with the younger
men; for in addition to giving them
an opportunity to retire from fye to
ten years sooner II they so wish. II
viii also open the way to many pre-
| ferred positions now being held by
ithc older men. The younger men
would therefore be getting a double
benefit, in return for the small dded
monthly cost to themselves.
Tho present retiring age Is compul
/ sory at 40 years and voluntary at 65

/ icient physical defects 10 make hin

VALUE OF COUNTY FAIRS.


PrOducc Good Feeling, anu Are Intense
~ NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. on Good Subject.
Just scratch out Pennsylvania where
II occurs and insert Virginia, and
erase Philadelphia and insert Rich
mond. and the following from the
Philadelphia Ledger will apply TO this
state perfectly:
Much has been heard in Pennsyl-
vania OF late OF the value OF State
fairs They are OF unqucstiona Bile
benefit. Minnesota Illinois, New York
Virginia and Iowa have proven that
they are financially successful, and in
other states the tendency is toward
big state exhibitions. But nothing can
ever take the peculiar place or per-
form the unique service OF the county
fair 1t Is OF its own. by its own, for
its own. and Il gives an opportunity
of neighborliness and mutua! interest
that should be developed and encour-
aged In Pennsylvania in 1913 there
Will be more than nifty OF these fairs:
many OF them come in August. most
OF them in September and some OF them
in October.
'In the past some OF the fairs have
been cheapened by vulgar attractions"
mainly the "reminiscences OF the old
midway evils. These should be ex-
cluded and there should be rigid
investigation of fair ATTRACTIONS" be-
fore they are engaged. There is where
the benefit OF cooperation comes In.
Counties that adjoin may greatly i'm
prove their program by working to-
gether. In Pennsylvania OF late there
has been drift toward an old home
week In connection with the county
fair This les fine. Every Ponnsyl
vania county has natives in other sec
lions and other states. and II will do
them good to so back home and see
how the folks have been getting along.
1T would be we'll II Philadelphia
business houses paid larger attention
to county fairs. They are gatherings
Of people whose trade Is worth having.
1t is usual to speak OF the business
to be got from foreign lands and OF
new wealth to flow through the Pana-
ma Canal. but the best, most reliable
and Stcadiest profits are from the
people OF the counties"
