Fashions in Burials Play I'M

BOSTON. Jan. Fashions in fun
erals play an important part in the
high cost of living, according to Fred
erick L. Briggs, secretary OF the
Massachusetts state board of EN-
balming.
Just as in weddings and recep-
TONS said Secretary Briggs today.
there is also excessive style put on

cheap, medium priced lunch, without
trimmings, SO you can buy respect
able, cheap funeral without the trim
mings.
"often my official duties have call
ed me to tenement homes where some
loved one lay dead. Although there
was no food In the house, these peo-
pie invariably cast aside any thought
of a plain, simple funeral that
would have been sufficient testimony
to their loved one, and plunge them
selves into unreasonable debt, merely
for an obtentatious show at the tuner
al. This affects the cost of living be-
cause those who live have the less
to live ON because of the pornp and
display.
Another despicable custom is that
practiced by many florists who, Wnen
q factory worker dies, pays anofher
worker small bonus to take up
flower subscriptions. OF course, the
flowers are purchased from the enter
prising florist"

LONDON, Jan. 4.-Arbitration by
the great powers of Europe Is all that
can prevent q resumption Of the Bal
kan war against Turkey. The porte
desires mediation, as is easily appar-
ent from the utterances of RechId
Pasha and Osman Miami Pasha, OF
toman delegates to the peace confer
ence, but the representatives of the
Balkan states are reluctant to submit
to Intervention, because they surmise
that the triple alliance and the triple
entente would not be apt to recon,
mend a settlement that would give
too much territory and power in east
ern Europe to the Balkan alliance.
1t was known tonight that the last
demands made by the Balkan pleni-
potentiaries are irreducible. On the
other hand, the Turkish delegates are
without authority from Constantinople
! to make further concessions That
was the lay Of things this afternoon
when the peace conference was sched-
uled to resume and but for the action
of the ambassadors OF the powers in
1 securing the postponement until Mon
day. negotiations undoubtedly would
/ have been broken off.
4 Unless In the in erin the Turks get
/ additional instructions from the porte
which will enable them to recede fur
Their from their present positions
4 peace negotiations will -be declared
4 off when the conference meets agair
4 at four o'clock Monday afternoon, un
less the opposing delegates agree te
submit their differences to the great
4 powers for mediation.
i Dr. Daneff, chief Of the Bulgarian
ENJOYS and spokesman for all the
allies, in statement tonight clearly
left the inference that the Balkan
states were not particularly anxious
for mediation, and that they were pre-
pared to renew the war at any time
Apparently the Turks are trying
to shift onto our shoulders the re
/ sponsibility for breaking off peace ne
gotiations,. DR.. Daneff said. I'VE art
prepared to NEE. that situation.
I'VE are tired Of delays and Mon
days meeting surely will see eithe
an agreement, or the end Of parley.

his administration and declared that
he had, to the best Of his ability, fol
lowed out the platform upon which
he was elected. The defeat Of many
of his measures, he laid to personal
dislike which he characterized as
"taftophobia" and that many repre-
sentatives and senators felt for him.
This condition OF affairs, he said, was
brought about because, through the
help of old-time republicans who
were called reactionaries, he had Sc
cured the passage of much valuable
Legislation. In doing So he said, Il
was brought into opposition with
faction that has become insurgenr
and declined to follow the leadership
of the dominant party
The major part of the presidents
address was devoted to the assump-
ton OF position against the progress
sive party and the principles it advo-
Gates. In bitter terms he predicted
that IL the progressive party elected,
upon its present lIatform, national
ticket, it would mean the engulfing
'of popular government in storm of
class hatred and contempt for con-
stitutional rights.
Defining an 'insurgent," the presi-
dent sarcastically remarked that
there was little that was personal in
the appelation.
If one man has advocated a propo-
sition," he said smilingly, 'it Is all
right because he Is an insurgent. On
the other hand, if another who is re-
puted reactionary' has offered the
same measure, 1t has had to be con-
demned because Of the source from
whence it came"
| Why he continued. since we
were beaten in the last race; since
we ran third, are we here with SO
much spirit? Is it not that in spite of
1 the defeat recorded in November, we
were still victorious in saving our
country from an administration whose
policy involved sapping the founda-
ltions Of democratic, constitutional,
representative government; whose ap.
peals to the people were calculated to
arouse class hatred that has hereto

One woman died in the shipwreck

tain of the vessel kept to the best
traditions of the sea and himself per-
ished with his command The story
of Captain H. A. Gilbert's last mo-

grief by those of his men who sur

The captain was below deck, al
though awake. At the first shock Of
the impact. he rushed up compan-
ion way, saw that his vessel had been
j dealt a death blow, and as quietly
rushed below for his wife. They came
out on the wave-swept deck together.
Then a mighty surge tore Mrs. Gil
bert from her husbands arms and
carried her away. Blinded and stun
ned by the shock Captain Gilbert ran
about the deck, his shouts to locate
i his wife being plainly heard above
the boom of the waves.

BRYAN'S WAY.

Hon. William Jennings Bryan,
Secretary of State in the cabinet
Of the President of this mighty
nation, is going back to his old
love, the lecture platform. He
sees nothing incompatible with
the dignity of the great Office he
holds and the alluring lecture
platform. His Office is all work
and honor and no profit in q
pecuniary way; while the lecture
platform is little work and all pay.
More money is his object. Money,
you know. sometimes money at
sixteen to one, has taken posses.
sion of his fertile brain. The
salary of his ofdce is not equal to
the dignity thereof-one thousand
dollars a month, and being re.
stricted to it, is a losing game-it
eats up the principal; but the lee.
ture platform is another thing-it
is a winning game and it's earn.
ings beat sixteen to one all hol.
low-aye they beat it ten thou
oanQ TO one.
Therefore, if Secretary Bryan
deems it proper during his vaca-
ton, to rest Onto tread water GA
the Pactolus inflow of the lect,,re
platform, why should We poor
mortals object. True, We old
mossbacks may think t'.,at one
thousand dollals a moth is an
ample salary even for a Secretary
Of State. but, you kr.ow, that we
are out of date-we ? re not PROCESS,

Weekly Letter of John H. Page, Commissioner Mines, Manufac.
 lures and Agriculture.

1 want to urge the farmers and ci izens generally to attend their county fairs, where they have not already been held, and es- pecially to urge all who can to attend the State Fair at Hot Springs. j do this for the reason that l regard it of great value to those who are engaged in agri- cultural pursuits or interested in Agriculture.
 The farmers who can and will attend the State Fair will find the trip most profitable one. They will be able to see what is being produced in the different parts of the State in which they live in one week than they would by spending six months travelling about over the State.
 Another important thing is the live stock industry. The farmers of Arkansas want to awaken to the opportunities in stock raising and a trip to the State Fair will afford good education as to what can be done and to some extent is being done in Arkansas with live stock. We have some live wires as stock men in Arkan- sas, and it will pay to see and learn what they are doing. It will give those who are interest ed in Agriculture and the de- velopment of the State a good idea of what is going on, and will be a revelation to many.
 There is no question of the great value of attending the State Fair, and 1 hope all who can will attend. As your Com missioner, I expect to be drought the week and hope to meet as many of the farmers and stock growers as possible. Let us get together and discuss how we can help the condition of the farmer and advance the interest of Ark rnsrs generally.
The Nevada County picayune., 1913-10-17

Between now and the next State Fair 1 intend to take steps to see if we cannot arrange to get free railroad fare for the farmers to and from the State Fair. 1 believe it can be accom- plished and shall do my best to bring it about. Let's all meet at the State Fair and prepare for better farming and better crops next year.
 John H. Page,
 Commissioner.
