The big boom that Vaudeville has
taken on this summer has done much
to strengthen and stimulate the be-
lief that her future promises big
things. There has been considerable
Investment In property and many
summer visitors have expressed de-
sire to have permanent home there.
Those who have visited coast cities
find that Vaudeville ID cooler. It has
the constant cool south and south
east winds all summer and the after
moons on the beach are delightful.
But Vaudeville needs improvements
and the people are going after them.
A short time back the people voted
q bond issue of $4,000 to build q
breakwater that would protect the
beach property and prevent the en-
|croachment of the waters Of the lake,
but this sum was found to be insult
ficient when bids were asked for this
improvement. and the proposed Inn
provement has been at 4 standstill
for I while. Within q few days.
however. q proposition has been made
by . contractor who Is responsible
to build a~cement wall and MI in the
required places for $28,5OO. His
proposition is that he will take the
bonds himself for the $4,000, and
that the $500 may be raised BY
private subscription Of the propert,
holders secured by their individual
notes for the amounts they subscribe.
The matter was talked over by
Mayor W. G. Davis and the contract

Yellowstone National Park,
August 20. 1913.
Dear Papa: We just came In on
of q twenty-five mile drive, also, .
visit to Fount Yellowstone and the
sights around there. among them the
footprints of man who went too
close to the formation OF q hot spring
and he sank. He is in the hospital
now, as these springs generally reg
lister about 152 Fahrenheit. Also
bones of . young lady about 26 years
old. of which you can see the arm
perfectly. These remains are in an
old extinct hot spring which is dry
now and you look through small
hole to see them. This happened
about eight years ago, the first one
about two weeks ago. But there is
some grand scenery here. We went
through the canon Of the Yellowstone
that is undoubtedly the prcttiest piece
of scenery In the world, with all the
yellow rocks. Then $500 feet be-
low you see the Yellowstone river
flowing, which. by the way, is about
like the Bogue Falaya, only with
many falls and rapids, and where II
flows through The canon It IS 90 green

EVOLUTION OF THE ALMANAC

The almanac used to be a house
hold necessity. II hung from a con-
spicious nail by the mantel and furn-
ished nearly all the information on
historical and many other subjects
that many families ever got. AS a
testimony to its worth as a text book,
the editor remembers to have heard
a teacher in his bOyhood say that
about all of his knowledge OF history
came from the reading OF the dates
OF important events in an almanac.
OF course in those days no one OBJ
Jected 10 the most conspicuous feat
ures OF this indispensable boOk-th"
patent medicine ads, and the lurld
testimonials. 1t was sufficient ii the
drug store had large line for dis
tribution from which choice could De
made.
But now the almanac is being used
by every line OF business, and many
OF the objectionable features are be
ing eliminated. Not long ago we re-
ceiyed an almanac issued by one Of
most reputable magazines - The
Atlantic Monthly. 1t contains the US
ual data, calendar, moons changes,
time when the sun rises, etc, ard
was filled with literary gems culled
from the issues Of the magazine from
its first issue 10 the last. And just
now we have before us an almanac
issued by the Berea Bank and Trust
Company OF Berea. II is also devoid
of the old time Objectionable features
and filled with much sound business
advice, as well as many facts of in
terest 10 the family and any one for
that matter.
But 1t may not be evolution after
all. Possibly it is only coming 10 its
own. We. ourselves, are not sufficient
ly ancient to know what the first al
manac was like. And for all we know
1t may be that the earlier ones were
altogether as admirable as the above
which we have commended.

ONE CENT LETTER POSTAGE

That the adoption of a one cent
letter postage rate will mean a large
increase in the amount of letter mail
carried by the government is the be-
lief of prominent business men who
have made study of American pos
tai problems.
One of the strongest believers in
the one cent letter propaganda is
John wanamaker, former postmaster
general and noted merchant whose
mammoth stores in Philadelphia and
New York are known to millions of
Americans who have visited them.
Mr.. Wanamaker is of the belief that
a one cent letter postage rate should
be inaugurated at once.
Il am a firm believer in one cent
letter postage" declares Mr.. Wanna
maker, land think the government
would have a larger revenue from It
after the first two years than it has
at present from two cent hostages,
when people had time to realize the
facilities afforded for communication
with each other"
Thousands of business men thru
out the country are joining the Natl
onal One Cent Letter Postage Asso-
citation (which has its headquarters
at Cleveland, o.. and which is con-
Quoting a campaign for one cent let
ter rate. A new bill providing for one
cent postage will be introduced in
congress early in the session and a
determined effort is to be made to
secure its passage. Hundreds Of COM
mercial organizations, and other
bodies have endorsed the campaign
and are working with the postage as
ISOLATION in the effort to secure a
lower rate.

WHAT THE FARMERS WIFE OWES
HERSELF

In the current issue Of Farm and
Tireside appears the following:
THE farmers wife owes ii to her
self to have as many labor-saving de-
vices as can possibly be afforded. II
is no worse for her husband to hoe
corn by hand, when he can get a pro-
per tool for five dollars, than it is
for her to bend over a rubbing board
when al washing machine can be had
for the same amount. Every dollar
put into helpful household machinery
means many dollars saved in doctor
bills. Such things are not expensive,
nor do they need replacing often. For
example, a food-chopper costs less
than a dollar, and will last for years;
yet how many women still waste time,
and break their backs over an old
chopping- 1t does not take TWEEN
with nearly every little helpful de-
vice needed, and every farmers wife
should feel it her duty to have all
these strength and time saving arti-
Giles within her reach.
''In the multiplicity of daily tasks.
the time for reading and study seems
often sadly lacking. But it should I've
found, no matter what else has to go.
Ten minutes with a good book will
give food for uplifting thought all day
Drudgery ceases to be such If hurry
ing steps keep time to a noble SEN
tence A favorite book-in an Oil
cloth jacket, If the binding be choice
is perfectly safe in the kitchen cup
board: and many a precious minute
can be snatched while the potatoes
are cooking, or baby is being rocked
to sleep.
III seems an extravagant thing 20
say that the welfare of the nation
depends most largely upon the wives
and mothers of the farms. But it will
be seen to be strictly true. Without
the farms the country could not OK
list; and without brainy, energetic
farmers what would become of the
farms?
80 in summing up the duties wo-
men owe to themselves we are stat
ing their obligations in an ethical
and economical sense. and find that
there is really no selfishness when
women considers herself first"

WIRELESS PHONE A SUCCESS.
Harvard Professor Sends Sound OF
Voice Thirty five Miles.

Assistant Professor G.. W. Pierce OF
the department of physics at Harvard
has devised new wireless telephone
instrument which may eventually revo-
lutionize the methods OF long distance
communica ton. The new instrument
has already received the hearty In
dorsement Of John Hays Hammond, Jr.
Professor Pierce was the guest Of Mr..
Hammond az his Gloucester laboratory
at Fresh Water Cove recently, where
q series Of experiments was conducted
with the new apparatus.
The wireless power was concentrated
about fifty feet above sea level. By
means OF the new instrument Professor
Pierce got into communication with
the Harvard Wireless club. thirty-fye
miles away. and talked with several OF
- club members for q space covering
fifteen minutes.
