cHARirVs GREAT WORK.

Every city which is blessed with charitable organization for taking care of the many forms of distress must realize the great need which ex- ists not only of relieving such, but of doing much work of 8 preventive char acter as will correspond to the effect ing of a pound of cure through an ounce of prevention.
 It is such a view which the United Charities of Chicago takes as set forth in it's year book in answering some of its critics as to expense Not only does it seek to continue the systematic labors of relieving distress and restor- ing the needy to a normal plane of life, but 1t strives to find the underlying cause of poverty and disease and to deal with them in preventive way.
 It is readily recognized that such an organization through its work is prop erly qualified to understand the op- portunities for preventing distress and that such efforts are more desirable and likely to obtain better results than entirely ignoring such cases until they have passed the preventive stage and become chronic. Wherever charitable organizations can go further than mere relief. or even rehabilitation and min ister to the people it should have the united and hearty support of the com munity No greater charity could ex- ist than teaching and helping those liable to fall into it how to avoid dis treSS.

HEALTHY EXPORT rRApE.

Tn the matter of production of raw material for foreign consumption this country is showing healthy condition compared to a similar period last year as gleaned from exports for the month of July, when the principal customs districts recorded the exportation of breadstuffs, cottonseed oil. food anil mals, meat and dairy products, cotton and mineral oils to the extent of near ly forty eight million dollars worth while July of la%t year showed a total of but thirty three millions. This ap- preciable increase is largely due to the increased exportation of wheat during that period over nine million dollars worth being sent abroad against half million the year previous. This indi- cates the value of the bumper crop of last year.
 Meat and dairy products show an increase of two and a half million dol lars and cotton a million and a. third July was big month for exportation of wheat being the largest of any July since 1901, while the increase in four exports amounted to nearly million The figures for July however do noS represent the same increase over last year for the previous six months yet for the seven months of this calendar year ending with July the value of the above-named goods sent abroad reach ed a total of over 4S6 millions. which Is practically the same as the cor responding months of last year. Thus while July shows a marked increase the average thus far is but about nor nal compared with 1912.

EXPOSITION WILL SUCCEED.

From present indications a number of the leading countries of Europe do not intend to enter the Panama-Pacific exposition for economic reasons, all of which Is perhaps best determined for themselves The plea of too many ex- positions is one which carries much weight when it is realized the amount which proper representation requires as the necessary investment. The dis play of indifference which has been manifested will mean no little disap- pointment to the thousands who have emigrated from their native lands but who will expect to see them fittingIy of the world
 Yet such decision as they make rests with themselves. There is nothing compulsory about participation. It is a matter of business judgment for there Is foundation for the sensible belief that benefits result from such expositions to the nations, and to those sections of the country which partici- pate. The decision to refrain from en- teriag simply places a greater obiiga- ton for the success of the undertak- ing upon this country. It will mark one of the most important events in the worlds history and American re- sourcefulness will not permit 1t to be a failure. The opening of the canal deserves proper observance and no withholding of participation therein by a half dozen foreign nations can place such a damper thereon as to be in- surmountable. The exposition must and will succeed.

HuERTA MIsINFoRMEp.

Provisional President Huerta is fol- lowing an unWarranted course in the belief that the people of this country are not back of the administration in it's endeavor to secure a proper adjust ment of the existing trouble in Mexico without bioodshed. From the time cation of seriousness the governments policy las been against intervention. It has stood for the recognition of constitutional government in the re- public, but against the recognition of such methods as characterized the opening of the Huerta regime It re- quires the protection of all foreigners in Mexico and seeks to have estab- ished a government in the republic through an early election which it can and will recognize. For Huerta to be- lieve that the people of this country do not support the administration in this stand is folly.
 The firm position against the rec ognition of Huerta and the equally de- termined attitude against the sending of an army of intervention into Mexico are founded on the belief that every possible means must be exhausted for a peaceful adjustment of the revolu- tionary conditions and the restoration of order. President Wilson has under taken the delicate mission in accord ance with the higher and nobler meth cd of settling disputes, because it is not simply his, but the countrys policy, and the quicker Huerta realizes it the hn+

wEIcHTs AND MEAsUREs.

There is nothing in which the public is more vitally interested and in which it should manifest the necessary con : cern than in the requirements for and use of scales and measures which will give correct weight and quantity. The old time tales of sanding the sugar adulterating the coffee and watering the milk are all Seclipsed in the modern method of dealing out short measure by the ability to manipulate the scales, There Is only one intent where short measure and false scales are maintain ed and the need of checking such fraud is general The cost of living is high enough without being obliged to pay for something which is not re- ceived and when Massachusetts court fined a peddler $25 for using a scale which gave short weight of a quarter of a pound. it only pointed out the need of the strictest attention to the testing of weights and measures as protection to the purchasing pub lie.
 Such deception exists because of a laxity on the part of the sealers of weights and measures and the failure on the part of the public to demand the seal as a guarantee of test and approval. Short weights are not only a swin.dle but a rank injustice against the honest dealers who give full weight and measure, vet are subject to the loss of trade through the deception which the fraudulent are able to make be- cause of the easy manipulation of the scales Competition Is healthy when it is fair, but 1t ceases to be competi- ton when incorrect scales are main tained

dream was a reality to him. What 1t was transpired soon after he had left his couch and had a bite to eat. He went straight over to the widow Goldie's and, without beating around the bush, he said:
 Widow Goldie, I drank too much hard cider the other day. thinking 1t perfectly harmless beverage.
 My lamented husband did that once" she replied.
 T remember that I was thinking of you as I drank the last glass"
 That was nice of you.'
 And, according to the best of my remembrance, I called here and told you l loved you and asked you to be my wife,
 ''oh, professor!' exclaimed the blush- ing widow
 Its this way, you see.' he went on. T had no thoughts of marriage, but if came here, and think I did and asked for your heart and hand. 1 shall act honorably in the matter. That is, we shall be married. Did I or did l not solicit your hand?"
 What a chance for the widow who had been looking around bit for the last three years! Never in her life again would a like opportunity come knocking at her door. She had only to say yes and the thing was done. But the professor was an honorable man and she was an honorable wo- man, and she sighed and told him that she was away all the day he called, and that he had got her mixed up with some other person.
 Very well--very we'll" replied the professor as he took his leave T don't think I was quite myself after imbib ing that cider, but if I ask for any woman's heart and hand I shall stand by the proposal.
 Calls were made on the other widows in Tv% oo1 In I to deny that they had been proposed to, but it was a sacrifice for which they ought to have worn medals. A more honorable man than the profes- sor, and more honorable women than the widows it would have been hard to find
 There was an old maid in the case She was the last one to be called upon. She was the village librarian and Prof, Rains had smiled at her several times. He was smiling on this occasion, and she said to herself.
 If he proposes I'll accept him in a minute"
 But he didn't propose He had call de to ascertain if he had proposed while under the influence of hard cider.
 Let's see? Let's see" unused the librarian as she rubbed her chin
 If I did I shall keep my word"
 That is very honorable of you. As to what you said to me I can't say that I took 1t as proposal but-''
 Very well-very we'll I am glad to find that you didn't. but if you had"
 The professor wasn't done with his conscience yet. As he sat at dinner with his landlady 1t suddenly struck him that it might have been she that be proposed to. while under the in auence, and he quietly asked-
