THE MEMORY OF A CHILD.

How many of us ever stop to con-
slider that child forms lasting i'm.
pressions from the little things oi
life, and its associations with its
elders?
How many of US pause to reflect
that the infantile brain is constantly
reaching out for that knowledge
which is to make or mar its future?
What are we doing to encourage
right thinking in the minds of the lit
tie ones in our own midst, who in
time will shape the destiny Of oul
community?
How many of US, absorbed In
weightier things, are even prone To
ignore the presence of the manly lit.
tie fellow who gives US cneery
greeting on the street, and whose
sunny countenance is at once cloud
ed by our seeming Indifference and
neglect?
Trivial things are impressed upon
the minds Of the young. Incidents
are burned so indelibly into their
memory that often time itself can
never efface them.
One such comes to our mind as we
write these lines. 1t was of {; small
hoy who went to nearby stream on
his first fishing trip-the epoch Of
his life.
After hours Of vain waiting for a
nibble he finally hooked large suck
er, and by dint Of much worrying
and sweating and tugging succeeded
in getting it to dry land. But just
as success crowned his efforts and
his little heart was beating high with
the joy of exhibiting his catch to his
mother, a well known and influen-
tial citizen Of the town came along
with one small fish on his string. He
looked at the sucker, remarked that
the two would make fair meal, and
asked which one should take them
+both-he or the child.
The boy gulped, hesitated, and then
handed over his fish---and went home
in tears. And that one act Of selfish
ness on the part Of man has re-
manned green in the memory Of that
boy for over thirty years. It win
never fade.
We Of maturer years have much
to be held accountable for, for ths
memory Of q child u often q long
as its life.
Think 1t over. brother. and give Il
more than passing thought.

Politics Hold Stage
in Michigan Today

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 30.-Poli-
tics held the center of the stage in
Michigan today when the fall conven-
tions Of the three big political parties
Democratic, Republican and Pro-
gressive- The Democrats
held their sessions here, the G. 0. P.
forces met in Kalamazoo, while the
Bull Moosers held forth at Bay City.
Each party was to make its nomi-
nations for the offices of secretary of
state, auditor general, attorney gen.
eral, state treasurer and state land
commissioner, in addition to selecting
new state central committeeman and
drafting platforms.
Interest centered in the Democratic
conventions, where the long standing
feud between the Wilson Demo Gratis"
and the Wood Shields faction threat
eV k6uble. State Chairman Shields
sad early today that the "organiza-
tion" wing would be in complete con-
troll, although the "Progressives"
promised to make last-ditch fight
for the seating of their contesting
delegation from Wayne (Detroit) CAL
houn and Delta counties. Success in
this fight would give them control of
the convention and subsequent control
Of the party organization in Michi-
gan.
There was every indication that the
Republican gathering in Kalamazoo
would be serene and peaceful. The
one chance of serious clash appar-
emily rested in the possibility that

In round numbers the United States
now consumes about 3.760.O00 tons
Of sugar annually. OF this amount
still dealing in general figures
100000 tons is produced in the
United States; another million is pro-
duced in the insular possessions, prin-
cipaly Hawaii and Porto Rico; and
10000 tons are imported from
abroad.
The foreign sugar comes principal
ly from Cuba; the only other country
from which we receive any consider
able supply being the Island Of Java,
a Dutch possession. AS our foreign
SIMPLY is drawn almost wholly from
countries that are neutral in this
great conflict, our sources abroad are
not endangered.
But one-half Of the $4,000, 900 tons
of sugar annually produced in the
world Is obtained from the beet crops
cultivated in the countries that are
now at war. And it is the beet fields
Of the heaviest producers, Germany
France, Austria and Belgium, that
will be ravaged by the contending
armies. 1t is this threatened destruc-
tion Of one-half Of the worlds supply
that has sent up the price of sugar
and promises to maintain it on high
level for the next two years.
The English buyers were the first
to realize this. The English are the
heaviest consumers Of sugar in the
world, the last available figures at
hand showing that while the per cap
ita consumption of the United States
was 80 pounds, in the United King
dom it was 90 pounds.

Claims Tire Proof
Against BIOwOuts
United Prcss.

United Prcss-
CLEVELAND, o., Sept. 30.-An
automobile tire proof against blow
outs and punctures, and which will
outlive the ordinary tire tenfold is the
claim made today for the invention
Of Alonzo Subers, Cleveland man.
Suber's tire is woven from rubber
coated cords. Fash cord contains
thirteen threads of tough fabric and
are woven and coated by special ma
chinery. Both the machinery for max
ing the cords and the process of weav-
ing the cords into tires are patented
in this country and abroad.
Ordinary tires stand only about
150 pounds pressure to the square
inch. Subers' tires, it is claimed, will
stand pressure of 1000 pounds. This
would give them metallic hardness
with q greater residence than any tire
now in use.
Subers' invention is patented in
America and Europe. Large tire
manufacturers in Akron hold the Am
erican patent rights. 1t is claimed
that Subers' invention will also be
Of much value in the manufacture OF
high pressure fire hose and air hose
on locomotives.
Subers Is man Of 55 who has
made and lost two fortunes. He
came to Cleveland after the panic Of
1908 unknown and penniless. Since
then he has been working on the in
vention which he hopes will place his
name beside the inventor Of the au-
tcmobiie itself.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Sept. s0.-
According to q statement issued BY
the city department of health there
has been big decrease this year in
the number of flies which have in
Tested Colorado Springs. City Health
Officer o. r. Gillette believes that the
decrease, which was generally notice
able, was due to the rigid manner in
which sanitary measures were enforc-
ed during the summer just closed.
Dr.. Gillette believes one Of the
principal causes of the decrease was
the ordinance compelling the removal

hundred and sixty students WAS the
total enrolment of the University OF
Colorado, according to figures given
out few days ago. OF these 485
are new students. The complete en-
rollment last year reached 1926 but
it is expected that this will have been
exceeded when registration for this
year has been completed.
The 4s5 new students makes the
percentage Of new students the larg-
est the university has ever had. In
the engineering school 316 men are
already enrolled-35 more than the
total registration last year. At the
same rate of increase as was main
tanned last year the total engineering
school enrolment should eventually
reach $50. The enrolment Of the
pharmacy school in 33 per cent high
er than for the first semester last
year. This school was established in
1911 with two students, in 1912 the
enrolment reached IL and in 1919
there were 26. 1t is expected the
enrolment this year will exceed 30.

What exactly the German police
would do with the suffragettes, Will
helm II did not make clear; but per-
haps this problem need not worry US
very much more.
Although a genial man in his leis-
ures, the kaiser jokes with difficulty.
For instance, plenty of US could have
| thought of more diplomatic jabe to
drop upon an English governess who
was seeing her German princess pu-
pill parade for the first time in the
uniform of the Deaths Head Hussars
than the statement: "She will ride
at the head of the first regiment that
invades England"
The staggering rudeness of the re-
mark was met by very bright
counter from Miss Topham (whom
the kaiser came to speak of us "our
English Dreadnought"); but it re-
mains one of those things that might
very well have been put differently
Most of the kaiser's recorded out
bursts Of humor-and some of his ut
terances as statesman-are open to
the same criticism.
Let it not be assumed from this
that the kaiser Of Miss Topham'f
book and our visualization is an al.
together disagreeable person. Far
from 1t. No. least just now, when
we are fighting him for our lives and
for our conceptions Of civilization
would we overlook his many appre.
Citations Of aspects Of our English
country and people. More than once
he has paid tribute to the beauty and
attraction Of the English country
side; he has poem Of Kipling fran.
