If there's one thing more than an
other that helps put community in
the ''also ram class it's the town
'knocker." You know him,-the fell
low who is always complaining that
the town is dead, that business is 60
ing from bad to worse, that the
schools are not half as good as they
are in some neighboring village, and
so on. Not only does the ''knocker"
dole out this discouraging line of talk
to his own town folks, but passes it
along to the stranger within our
gates. And isn't it wonderful how
fast this kind of information spreads
and isn't it equally wonderful how
some people will more quickly believ'
bad than a good report?

The person who stands on the
street corner looking around for
something to gossip about or to find
fault with, can always find what he
is looking for. But what a life he
lives. His soul shrivel and withers
until it is shown in his manner and
looks. For such a person life has
lost its SAVIOR. It becomes sour, mis-
anthropic, whining. He passes from
bad to worse, and sees no good in
anybody. His taxes are always too
high, no matter how low they may
be and he cusses his neighbor be-
cause his neighbor is prosperous
and enjoys life. In fact, he hates
himself, is a menace to a towns
prosperity, a foe to God and no good
to the devil. These persons seem
to be necessary evil in every
town. They ought to be put out.

The child deprived of pets misses
To love a dog, a cat, or a
bird or any live thing has humaniz-
ing influence on the character. The
care of a pet teaches a child to be
for something. The love
of a pet brings out the tender feel
ings of his heart, makes the child
less inclined to cruelty, more thought
full, of quicker sympathy. A pet
gives him something to enjoy at
home and so makes home life rich
er. 1t is one means of keeping him
from undesirable companions,

BARGAINS IN TITLES.

You May Find Them.

Plenty of Foreign Countries Whore
You May Find Them.
Although foreign countries do not
openly advertise their readiness to do
business with those who aspire to attix
a handle to their names. the fact Is
generally recognized. that consider
able traffic in titles is carried on.
The tiny republic Of San Marino.
which does a roaring trade in titles Of
nobility at fixed rates, devotes great
part of the profits to the maintenance
of its founding and orphan asylum.
1t will make you and all your heirs or
only your male heirs, If such is your
desire, a duke for 5000 or an earl for
$3.50.
An idea of the traffic done in titles
may be gathered from the fact that a
German firm trading in Sweden sends
out circular marked private and
confidential" Offering to secure any Or
ders and decora lions required
The orders of St George vary in
price in different countries. In Sicily
it costs 1915 and in Bavaria more than
twice as much. but you may become a
Knight of Montenegro for as little
as $75.
The king of Greece does rather a
prosperous business with the Order of
the Redeemer. which can be had for
$3.50. while Servia bestows the Order
of Takova for like sum. The Prince
of Monaco has for disposal the Order
Of the Star, for which he asks SITS. and
for $50 less one can secure the Order
of the Sun of Nasr-ed din from the
shah of Persia.
Although titles cannot be bartered in
England. it is. of course, an open Sc
cret that a generous contribution to
political funds often paves the way to
place in the peerage. Apropos OF
this. 1t is interesting to note the fact
that Franz Nossuth. the son of the IA
nous patriot. charged the Hungarian
government with receiving no less thar
$1.45o.0OO by selling baronet titles
Another phase Of this traffic in titles
is revealed by carefully worded adver
tisements which have appeared in Lon
don papers from time to time. offering
for sale the titles Of impoverished no
Bile families of France. 1t is not so long
ago since three titles. two of which
were French-one a count and the 9th
er a marquis respectively-and one Of
an Austrian prince. were put up fol
sale in London, the prices ranging
from 100000 to 0O,0eO.-Londor

CAMP WAS BROKEN
BY CARRIER BOYS
Palladium's Army of Hust-
lers Had Time of Their
Lives This Year.

The second annual Palladium car
riers camp was closed Sunday by the
conclusion of the Chautauqua, and this
morning the carriers very unwillingly
packed their belongings and left the
grounds, declaring that the outing Civ
en- them by the mana cement was one
of the most enjoyable they had ever
had and that they wished it could CON
! tinue for another two weeks. This
years camp has been much more sue
cessful than the first one, which was
held last year, especially the feature
of the cooking and eating tent The
screen tent for this purpose borrowed
from the Y. NJ. c. A. proved entirely
satisfactory, and the boys are grateful
for its use.
Yesterday noon, after the cook,
Pat" Melody, of New Paris. had serv-
ed them with a splendid chicken din
ner, the boys presented him with a
scarf pin as a token of their apprecia-
ton for the good meals they had been
which had been such an important
factor in the spirit of the camp.
Melody Was An Army Cook.
Melody has had experience as an
army cook and it was displayed to
good advantage in satisfying the enor-
nous appetites of the boys. On one
occasion very hungry carrier ate
oin Of ha
! isfied and the same boy ate four large
| pieces of chicken yesterday.
| The boys have spent the time in all
kinds of sports, and the carrier boys
were winners in large number OF
events in the field meet. The indi-
| vidual stars in both classes We're car
riers. They have also played several
baseball games with different teams
and have played off several horseshoe
| tournaments among themselves. Every
other night the privilege of swimming
/ in Hawkins bathing beach has been
given them by the management, and
last week a hare and hounds game
| took their attention for one morning.
| They have entertained at their table
| the We'll known and lovable Sun
shine" Hawks and were also fortunate
enough to receive a special address
from him. Besides all these things
there was always the program at the
main tent to entertain them and, TAX
en- all together, a more successful out
| ing would have been hard to plan.
| The boys are looking forward already
to the camp of next year, which is as
cured them if they will be as faithful
in their services to the management
as they have been in the past year.

about one half of the amount required
if the two-battleship program is con-
tinued. The cost of a plant of this
capacity will be sS,46O.O0O. The arm
or plate made at this government
plant will cost 1914 ton, and the
government will save $40 a ton on
the armor it uses for it's navy In
other words, the government will save
81 100000 a year. At this rate the
plant would soon pay for itself, and
then continue to save the govern

manufacturers still refused to lower

tory; that il is a good policy to do so,
and that il will be economical
The government in the past has
given the three armor plate concerns
an equal share of the contracts for
plate. The price has been fixed as
the lowest bid offered by any one of
the three companies But with the
understanding that each was to get a
share of the contracts il was easy for
the companies to arrange that their
bids should not be low In any sense
of the word. Their action has brought
about the present determination on
the part of members of Congress and
the Secretary of the Navy to erect q
government plant
Other Countries Suffer Also.
The United States is not the only
country which has suffered from the
grasping manufacturers of armor
plate. Armor plate is peculiarly sus-
ceptible to monopoly because of tho
very expensive machinery required in
its manufacture. "Armor trusts ex-
list abroad as well as IN this country.
They have contrived to keep up high
er prices on armor plate than the
manufacturers in the United States.
This is due to the fact that Congress
has by its threats occasionally sue
ceeded in bringing about reductions
in the prices asked.
Three European governments have
undertaken to solve the problem OF
reducing the price of armor plate for
themselves. France has sought to re-
duce the price of armor by erecting a
plant which produces only q portion
of the armor needed for her ships.
This plant will be used as a basis for
determining the actual cost OF the
manufacture of armor plate. and at
the same time will be capable of be-
ing enlarged to a sufficient size to
manufacture all the armor needed.
The French plant for Glass A armor
is not yet in operation. although a
plant for making thin plates has been
in operation for some time.
The Russian government has under
taken to manufacture all the armor
adopted being to erect the plant and
invite foreign manufacturers to come
in and manage it for the government
The Italian government has tried a
third method of getting around the
trusts" going abroad TO break the
monopoly at home. and plates are now
being manufactured In the United
States for the Italian navy. Japan
has built two government factories,
and it is believed that they are sue
cessful, though no Information is Civ
en- out regarding them. In England.
the newspapers recently agitated the
subject of a government armor plant
in order to break the monopoly and
high prices which exist there
