A WACO BOOSTER N TOWN
Has Just Returned From the conyen.
tion Of Associated Advertising
Clubs Of America at Baltimore.

i OF the twenty-four delegates at the
convention from Waco, Texas. w. A.
Chaterton was the only newspaper
man present. He is connected with
the Waco Times-Herald, an evening
paper OF that town. Mr.. Chaterton
on his card has his name, w. A. Chat
terton, the letters WACO being in red
ink and the rest of the letters are in
black.-Baltimore Sun.
Mr.. Chatterton is stopping at the
Hotel Bryan and is enthusiastic over
his trip to the meeting of the Asso-
ciated Advertising Clubs of America,
which was held in Baltimore this year
at which he represented the Waco
Times-Herald. He says he left Waco
on June 4th and the first stop was at
St. Louis for six hours, where they
were royalty entertained, being met by
60 automobiles and taken to Forest
Park, st. Louis biggest summer re-
sort. Next stop was at Indianapolis
and then Cincinnati where / was
royalty entertained by the Press Club
as the only newspaper man in the
crowd; thence on to Washington,
where we had a fifteen-minute inter-
view with President Wilson, who said
that If matters shaped themselves so
that he could get away he might come
to Waco and open the Cotton Palace
which will be held November LIST to
18th. They also talked with Secretary
of State Bryan, Hatton W. Summers,
Morris Shepherd and Congressman
Henry.
Mr.. .Chatterton is an enthusiastic
member of the Young Mems Business
League of Waco, and said that he had
such faith in Bryan that if we desired
to organize a Young Mems Business
League at any time Waco would glad
ly send ten of her members at their
own expense, furnish a copy of their
charter and start the Bryan young
men off in a Young Mems Business
League similar to the one which is
arousing so much enthusiasm in

People Incapable of Making Laws

People Incapable of Making Laws.
Santa Barbara, Cal, May 23.-.
That the people are no more capa-
Bile of making their own laws than
their own shoes, and that Califor-
MAS state government is the worst
of ALL is the declaration today of
President E. P. Ripley of the Santa
Fe railroad, who started today for
Chicago. The one redeeming feature
o. California's government, he said,
is it's public utilities act.
Regarding the tariff changes be-
ing negotiated by the democratic fed
eral administration, and the pro-
posed income tax, Ripley declared
they were mot Objectionable" and
intimated that some good might
come from experiments with each.
He attacked the Wilson administra-
tion, however, for it's suggested plan
to investigate wage schedules, de-
claring that difficulties between cap
ital and labor cannot be adjusted by
law as they involve a voluntary
agreement between employer and
employe.
The railroad head was optimistic
regarding the present business out
look, declaring that mistakes in gov
ernment will not injure prosperity
SO long as crop conditions are favor
able.
Ripley flayed the present trend to-
ward radical legislation, declaring
that such procedure is adverse to
stability of government.

MAN LOSES MEMORY.
Rochester. Minn., Insane Asylum
Seeks L. S. Navy's Aid.

New York Sun: The navy depart
ment has Joined the authorities of
the State Hospital at Rochester,
Mimi. in an effort to ascertain the
identity of a patient who has been
at that institution for the last five
years.
The records of the department
show that no officer disappeared in
that year, and only one officer has
disappeared since then who has not
been accounted for. Officials of the
Bureau of Navigation have obtained
his photograph and finger print rec
ords, but these did not enable them
10 identify him as a former seaman.
The mysterious patient was injured
by fall from train, which reuslted
in total loss of memory. He has
improved, however, and has made
several remarks indicating a famil-
iarity with the navy. The physicians
at the institution obtained sufficient
information from the patient to indi-
cate that he stopped off in Minneap-
oils while returning from San Fran
cisco to Washington, and after
drinking with several acquaintance
was robbed.
The only officer who has disap-
peared within five years is John Cal
vim Sweeney, Jr., formerly an assist
ant naval constructor, stationed al
the Puget Sound navy yard. He left
that yard on June 6, 1910, and has
not been seen since. The department
made a thorough search for him but
never ascertlined his whereabouts.

Pork Barrel Politics Causes Flood
Losses.

Pork Barrel Politics Causes Flood
Losses.
Technical World Magazine: Great
game. this spending the public funds
in aid of navigation and political as
pirationsl
For the convenience and the COM
fort of wealthy club, national funds
are readily available, but for the pro-
lection of hundred thousand flood
ed homes expenditures must be stint
ed, culled, pared, made with averted,
frowning faces.
There is always money for the
Improvement" of obscure creeks
and impossible, empty estuaries;
there is a splendid, smoothly work
able system for the efficient dis
bursement of national funds on po-
litical shoals that lie between con-
gressional districts and the public
crib at Washington, but there is no
system, no woodworking, compre-
hensive plan to cope with the floods
whose ever-rising erests annually
demand a greater toll in property
and lives.
Officially, congress has not cared
whether the entire country is flooded
ten feet deep every year. Officially
congress has not been in the flood
protection business. It's sole aim has
been to promote commerce and aid
navigation" If, incidentally, a few
dredged creeks will carry off the
flood of adverse votes that threaten
to maroon the perspiring M. c. at his
home far from the fleshpots of Wash
ington, if one and the same opera
tion will remove bar from the path
of commerce and clear the shoals
out of the political career of the
seed-distributing incumbent, we'll and
good; that is none of the public
business. Congress, however, must
not appropriate money for flood con-
troll. 'Aid to navigation" that is
the sesamic term which opens the
door of the treasury.
OF course, there is a good reason
for the monotonous recurrence OF
breaks in the American levees. Pork,
national and local, is the principal
of these reasons.

The. Fires of FI,iesIand.

Every year on the eve of st.
Peters day piles of straw are lighted
throughout north Friesland on old
sepulchral mounds. From place to
place these bonfires answer one an
other and from island to island far
away out to sea.
The custom is very old one. In
earlier times the majority of the men
folk of north Friesland earned their
living on the sea. In winter they
stayed at home, but as soon as the
days got longer, when spring came
round or even earlier, they put out
to sea. Once again the people gath
cred together to feast, the flames
shot up and sped the news from
island to island that preparations
were being made for departure, and
then they went
In heathenish times they danced
round the blazing fires and called on
their god Wooden for his protection
and an old Latin rhyme which has
come down to us in a mutilated form
shows that the custom dates back
to the times of the Romans and the
migrations. At that remote epoch
in dancing around the fire they ut
tered the name of the god Jupiter
and besought him to eat their sacri-
flee.
At that time it is known that the
Fresians went to the most distant
shores in search of war and plunder
and consequently such festival was
fully justified. A still greater sig
nificance attached to the festival in
the times of the Vikings, to whom
the Friesians attached themselves
and undertook long and dangerous
journeys in their company.
When Christianity found an en-
trance into the land, says the Ham
burger Nachrichten, the rough man.
ners of the population were of course
toned down, but the church fought
in vain against the old custom, and
the fires. continued to blaze as of
yore. At last the church felt itself
compelled to put a veneer of pro-
priety on the old wicked carousal and
the festival was fully restored to its
pre-eminence as a popular fete. The
fires of JOY were now christened
"Bieken' and the next day was CIV
en- up to great banqueting and dane
ing
How many earnest prayers from
wives, mothers, brides, elders and
children have ascended to heaven at
these "Bieken!" The day after was
set apart for the departure of the
men, who trooped to the harbors and
put out to sea, followed by the good
wishes of those they left behind
them.
The latter at once started upon a
new kind of existence, a life of rest
and simplicity. After st. Peters day
no more lamps were lit; the simple
supper was eaten by the light and
instead of generous diet only bread
and water stood on the table. The
summer passed in quick work, and
then all minds turned to their loved
ones far away and the hopes of their
return.

The newspapers report the death
of school boy from broken heart
because he was unable to pitcn and
his team lost the pennant. This
teaches two lessons: That sports can
become far too great a factor in the
youths plan of life, and that the dis
appointments of child are as much
to him as are the greater losses and
disappointments to grownups We
should all strive to prevent our chill
dren getting interested in any one
thing to the extent that the whole
life is wrapped up in it, and We
should also be sure to keep our WORD
with our children, and not think thai
disappointment is a small thing t.
them.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Cleaning With Gasoline.

When sponging a spot on any
goods with gasoline put teaspoon
full of salt in the gasoline and there
will not be ring when dry, as is apt
to be the case with gasoline alone.
Stains on White Cotton.
For mildew. rub in salt and but
termilk, and expose to the influence
of hot sun. Chalk and soap or
lemon juice and salt are also good
AS fast as the spots become dry, more
should be rubbed on, and the gar
ment should be kept in the sun until
the spots disappear Some of the
preceding will extract most kinds of
stains.
Ink On the Fingers.
When the fingers become covered
with ink while writing, just get
matches and rub the sulphur end
over the ink spots. Then wash the
hands with soap and water. The ink
will all disappear. This is invalua-
BILE for young women doing office
work who wish nice hands in the
evening.
Three Hints.
When the bristles of hair brushes
become soft they are greatly inn
proved by dipping them in strong
solution of alum and hot water.
When a sponge has become sour
rub fresh lemon into it and then
rinse it several times in lukewarm
water; it will become as sweet and
,clean as when new.
III the tips of shoe laces pull off
twist the ends of the string and dip
in glue. They are as good as when
new.
To Keep the Feet Dry.
IL the soles of pair of shoes are
vanished before wearing it will keep
water from penetrating and one can
walk on damp pavements and still
have warm, dry feet
