ating agreement filed in the Office Of

the product Of the industry and ag-
gressive policy Of Hon. C. B. Slimp

boost from the development of the

Oil Excitement Continues in Estill
The fine quality of oil and the
shallow depth Of wells are causes
of holding up interest in the recent
oil finds in Estill County. Well
No. 2 is under way and greater
things are expected when the four
proposed wells are sunk.
Farm Conditions
The wheat, hay and blue grass
crops are sure things throughout the

The Claflin Failure

The great New York wholesale
drygoOds firm goes TO the wall. This
is said TO be the greatest failure in
the history of American trade. APP
parently the failure involves liabil-
tiles aggregating from $30,OOO,OOO to
$35, 100000, most of this being due
banks and other money loaning in
situations. Fortunately for security
quotations il comes at a time when
the stock market is well liquidated.
Hobson Temperance Bill Doomed
On the 26th the doom Of national
prohibition legislation was sealed, so

until a future session.

Saving Millions for People.
Hon. Clyde H. Tovenner, in Nationa
MONTHLY.

Hon. Clyde H. Tovenner, in National
Monthly.
Any member of desiring to
save to the people his salary for the next
% years to come, without in the least
1eopardizing the public interest, will soon
have the opportunity. The task is not
turning over of the hand.
All that is necessary to effect a saving
OF millions to the people is to provide in
appropriation bills that thereafter all mu-
n1tlons of war be manufactured by the
government in its various arsenals and
navy yards.
Millions Of dollars worth of this work
is now going to a ring of private man
facturers which is ou%trageously over
charging the government, while at the
same time violating the antitrust laws
and paying low wages and imposing UNI
fair conditions Upon it's employees.
No less than 500, 900. 600 of the peoples
money has been spent by the war and
navy departments with the ammunition
ring and the armor ring. Practically the
same interests are back of both these
groups. 1t is a conservative statement to
say that in all probability one-fourth OF
this 500, 900, O00, or So, O00 ,OOO, could have
been saved to the people had all this
work been lone by the government. And
III men actually doing the work would
have received considerably higher wages
for eight-hour work days that the en-
ployes of the steel companies received for
nine and 10-hour work days, and in some
instances IL hours a day and seven days
n week.

A table of holders of investment securi-
hss would probably tell even more I'M
favorably against the United States. This
country surpasses all others in natural
wealth. Our workingmen receive much
higher wages than those of Europe, and
yet. even the poor Italians save out of
their meager earnings more than Ameri-
cans from their abundance. Americans
have learned to earn, but not to save.

Venice Has Serious Problem.

The city is rapidly gaining in population,
and so far no place has been found to ac-
commodate the increase. There are now
10000 inhabitants in Venice in excess of
suitable quarters. Among the many plans
discussed is the building of new quarters
at the Lido Island. Another plan con-
templates an additional town at the mouth
of the Brenta river. To study the whole
housing problem, as we'll as other ques-

Marcia's guardian fell silent. Then
ne cast the younger man a sidelong
glance and his lips moved half as
though they wanted to speak, but
dared not.
John saw the hesitation. Go on"
he said.
II don't know whether to or not. It's
not a thing young widows and widow

John a half defiant look. and plunged

again! You're a pack of wretched

clutched his friends arm. Marcia
said Mother Hardy ought to marry
again?" He waited, breathless.
"Of course" he said i'm surprise.
You didn't think Marcia was the kind
to hold up her hands at second mar
riages, did you? No. sir. She was too
sensible. She used to say to Mother
Hardy, Mother. why don't you marry
again? bod Hardy would have been
the first to say marry again. You
know he'd much rather have YOU happy
than lonely..'"
Fixedly John stared into the dis
lance.
Marcia said that!' he repeated soft

cha herself had let this man to his
side. A gentle breeze swept his fore
head. He closed his eyes and seemed
to feel his headache slipping away.

When the fellow had gone. he still
