fury.

Chief among the many dramatic
features of the opening scenes of the
great European war drama, is the
supberb daring with which the Ger
man WAR Lord" has launched his
mighty army against what is prac-
tically the united naval and mill
tary strength of the rest of Eu-
rope.
For the neutrality of Italy has
withdrawn from the Triple Alliance
great army and a powerful navy
of the most modern type. This de-
lection leaves the Mediterranean Sea
so completely in the control of the
Triple Entente, that the Austrian
fleet will probably never venture
forth from the protection of its naval
base. The Austrian army has yet to
win its laurels; for, as every student
/ of history knows, the military his
! tory of Austria has been marked
more by defeat than victory. With
Russia's army of triple her own
strength to the north, and with the
warlike Servians and a doubtful
Italy ON the south, Austria will be
so closely concerned with her own de-
tense, as to be able to render but
limited assistance in the immediate
field of operations covered by the
German armies.
Upon Germany. then, will fall the
stupendous task of inflicting de-
cisive defeat upon the combined arm
les of France. Russia. Great Britain.
Belgium and Holland, and as seems
not unlikely, of Denmark also.
And, as II this were not enough.

The War and Santa Claus.

We hear a great deal about the
wars cutting down our supply OF
finery and fashions from Paris, ana
of phosphates, dyes and chemicals
from Germany, and somehow We dis
miss the matter with mental con-
viction that in some way we will
"get by" as the saying goes.
But how about the war and Santa
Claus? How is Uncle Sam to fill his
Christmas stockings if he cannot
reach over and pick and choose from
the contents of the toy shops of
Germany.
For among it's other callings and
industries Germany has been the
worlds toy maker so long that We
depend on her to provide the ma
jor part of our nursery playthings.
The christmas ships" that put in
to the New York and Philadelphia
ports each year are heavy laden with
imported toys that are distributed
broadcast through the land by those
emissaies of st. Nicholas, the shops
and department stores of the towns
and villages.
This year. because of the breaking
up of the trade relations and sys'
tens, there may be no "Christmas
ships" weighted down with costl.
bales" and the American child may
have to content itself with Ameri
can-made toys. These toys ART
good in their way, for. we have start
ed such factories here and there
but we have not been in the bust
ness as long as Germany, where
families are reared, generation aftel
generation, in the trade There ar
no such d Oils as those made by the doll
makers of the Fatherland, who spent
! their lives fashioning certain portions
/ of the puppet-bodies, and so become
: highly expert.
/ Merchants, with an eye on the far

: to reach out for a new source o
supply for the juvenile buyers, and tn

And certainly we can learn t

According to the author of the bill rail-

Senator Cummins takes the position
that the proposed Legislation would &C,

The Relation OF Roads To Rural
Schools.

The rural population is more willing to
support better schools to-day than at any
previous time. 1t is being realized that
all educational activities or agencies
must be more or less correlated. and,
more than all else, that they must be
made accessible to the children. In
many counties where bad roads prevail,
most of the schools are of the antiquated
one-room variety. They are usually To-
Gated long bad roads, which, during the
winter, when the schools are usually in
session, become so nearly impossible as
to make it difficult for the children to
reach them. This condition causes ire
gular attendance and restricts the edu-
scational opportunities of the child. Not
only this, but it often impedes the econ
omic consolidation of these smaller
schools into larger, stronger graded
schools, with high-school courses, direct
ed by competent principal and corps of
teachers, according to the Office of Public
Roads,.
On the other had, in counties which
have improved their roads the schools are
easily reached, the average attendance
greater, the efficiency largely increased,
and economic consolidation made pos
sible. Regular attendance at school
means consistent and regular growth of
both school and pupil, and consolidation
of schools means a maximum of eff
cheney at minimum of cost. 1t is also
noteworthy that there is marked ten
dency for the consolidated school to be.
come the social and intellectual center of
the community. Most modern rural
schoolhouses are 80 constructed as to
serve the community as gathering places
for various kinds of public meetings, and
where vans are used to convey the child
rem to school during the day they are
frequently pressed into service to haul
the farmers and their wives to institute
work. lectures, or entertainments at the
schoolhouse. The consolidated school
becomes sort of community center 10
which all educational and social activities
converge, and in order that it may pro-
perly perform that function all of the
highways leading to it should be so i'm
proved as to render 1t readily accessible
throughout the year.

Twain's Rate.

Mark Twain went to just one auto
mobile show in his life. He went
with a Detroit friend. After he had
been shown the cars and other sights
the friend said: "Come on over here.
The greatest salesman in the automo-
bile business is working, and / want
you to hear him."
They went to a place where the
salesman was talking to a possible
customer about the merits Of his car.
He was rattling outward SO fast that
Twain gasped.
"Sakes alive" said Twain in his
slowest drawl, ''if my publishers ever
heard me talk as fast as that man
does they wouldn't pay me 80 cents a
word or even cents. They'd make
me produce words about hundred for
a nickel. Saturday Evening Post.

Decent Element Wins Big Victory
In Eavre de Grace.

Last week we referred incidentally to
the tremendous jolt which the liquor
traffic received at the hands of the Circnit
Court for Hartford county, acting through
the person of Judge Harlan.
The splendid work which forced twelve
of the saloons of Havre de Grace out OF
business is an evidence of what the TEN.
perance people of the State at large can
do when they become thoroughly
aroused.
The conditions concerning the liquor
traffic in Havre de Grace have been de-
plorable for long time. The grip of the
liquor traffic was strengthened by the use
of the money received from the licensing
of saloons for public improvements.
Those who held that this was a proper
use to make of blood money have been
strangely silent concerning private deg
radiation. There we're. however, a few
people in Havre de Grace who had moi
bowed the knee to Baal and these per.
sistently labored in an effort to reduce
the number of saloons, if they could NOT
put them all out OF business. Their effort
has been crowned with splendid success
in that the number of saloons in that
town has been decreased from seventeen
to Eve, as already stated.
We understand that the bonded debt OF
the city of Havre de Grace is being grad
ually paid off by the liquor license money
and that the city will be forced to pro.
vide funds for the payment of these bonds
from some other source. Perhaps II
Havre de Grace would cut ont All its
saloons and thereby make il possible for
some business industry that EMPLOYS
large numbers of laborers to locate with
in its confines. it might find itself in a
position to pay its bonded indebtedess
and have money in its treasury without
recourse to the villainous methods of
selling its youth and manhood to raise
funds to pay the bonded debt .-American

Asiatics Use Goatskin churns.

Goatskin churns are the proper thing
in the Asiatic deserts. They are the
unique butter making contrivances OF
the world. These churns resemble gl-
gantic footballs, varying in size accord
ing to the extent Of the family. They
are constructed Of goatskin sewed to-
gether in the form Of ball, with the
hair side in. Cream is run into these
bags until they are about half full,
and the balance Of the space is filed
with air from the churner's lungs.
Then these churns are suspended from
three sticks and rocking motion be-
gun. The air on the inside is calcu-
lated to aid coaxing the butter from
the cream. After churning the product
is strained through cloth, for the goats
hair has tendency to shed during the
violent operations.
