ANOTHER CHANCE
TO SPEND MONEY

The real old street carnival is with
US again. The outfit travelling under
the name Of the s'Parker Showsn
blew into town yesterday and set up
IN business across the 500 track,
whore they have the merry -go-rounl,
the dizzy ferris wheel, the Crazy
house, the seven rings for ten cents
game and all the other cheap attrac-
tions which go toward making up a
combination to extract the filthy lucre
from an unsuspecting public.
There is really nothing in the whole
outfit that is either refining or in
structive, and when they are gone
with goodly portion of the spare
change people will undoubtedly wake
up to the fact that they have been
worked with the same old fake. A
good, clean show to come to any COM
munity is a good thing to give the
pubic a chance to be entertained and
at the same time receive a certain
amount Of instruction, but what one
can see in such an outfit as the Park
er Shows to be worthy of patronage
is beyond the comprehension of even
an ordinary individual. There is not
a show in the whole outfit that is
worth patronizing, but the gaudy par
aphanalia and smooth tongued criers,
on the outside works like a corkscrew
on a catsup bottle and thus the peo-
pie are gradually but surely drawn
in like tie gill net catches a sucker.
No Sir, we do not believe that such
cheap trash is Of any benefit to any
community, and the money that they
take out of a community like Defils
Lake would be much better spent in
in almost any other direction.

PRES. JOHNSON TO
NAME DELEGATES

Mayor johnson, Of Devius Lake, has
been requested by the Hon. A. B.
Fletcher, president Of the Fourth Am
erican Road Congress and State High
way Engineer Of California to namc
three delegates to attend the sessions
of the Congress at Atlanta, Georgia,
during the week Of November 9th.
Forty-seven great organizations are
taking part in the congress under the
leadership Of the American HighwaE
association and the American Auto
mobile association. In his letter to
the mayor, President Fletcher calls at
tention to the fact that practically
every state highway commissioner will
be present and take part in discussing
the important problems of road con-
struction and maintenance, and that
some Of the foremost men in public
life will devote their attention to the
great question Of Federal Aid to road
improvement, in an endeavor to work
out a policy which may be submitted
to the Congress of the United States
with the support of the organized
road movement Of America. An I'M
portant move bearing upon state legis-
lation will be made at the session to
be held under the auspices Of the AM
erican Bar Association, at which a
joint committee, appointed at the 1913
Congress- will report progress in com.
pilation and suggested revision Of the
state road laws. The creation Of a
commission participated in by each
state to work out revision Of the
road laws will be urged. The Nation
al Civil Service Reform League will
hold an exceedingly important session
on the merit system in road adminis-
tration.
President Fletcher calls attention to
the exhibits to be made by the United
States government, the states, and

FOR
mrs. BURKE

On Saturday afternoon at three o.
clock there will be reception given
to Mrs. Richard Burke in the Com
mercial club rooms. Mrs. Burke was
some years ago resident Of Devils
Lake and her many friends will be-
glad Of this opportunity to meet her.
Mrs. Burke has been on suffrage
lecture tour in this district and chosen
her engagements Saturday evening by
speaking in the court house. At the
time Of her residence here Mrs. Burke
was opposed to the idea Of woman 3
suffrage but her residence In Idaho
where women have voted for 1s years
caused her to see the question in an
other ligt. 1t will be interesting to
hear the question discussed by some
one who has studied both sides of the
question. The meeting at the Court
House will be called at eight O'Clock.
Saturday is self-denial week for the
suffragists in the United States and
celebrates the birthday Of Lucy Stone
pioneer worker for woman's advance.

THR[SH|NG NOW
IN FULL SWING

Threshing machines have nearly all
started up and the tale is being told
as the golden grain begins to roll
into the elevators. The yield is not
what was expected six weeks ago, but
most grain is really turning out more
than We anticipated when the grain
was being put into the shocks. AT
the present time an average cannot be
estimated as some fields will no doubt
yield fairly good while others will
hardly pay expenses of cutting una
threshing. Early wheat is decidedly
the best, as it was ripe before the

black rust got into it. Barley is Of
very light weight and the late barley
will yield but very little. Oats is OF
a good sample and some fields will
turn out well. Very little fax is cut
and none will be threshed for several
days SO nothing can be said as to how
it is going to yield. One thing that
is going to help out the farmers is
the, good prices for all kinds of grain,
as well as cattle and hogs, and when
the crop for 1914 is all summed up
we predict that it will net the farm

!
London, Aug. 19.-Nortner and east
ern Belgium are today solid battle
line.
The first real struggle for possession
of the gateway through Belgium to-
ward the French frontier ls in pro.
gress.
The fighting starting at dawn yes
terday, continues. Despite the strict
eest censorship in the history Of the
world, it is evident that the allied ar
mics are being hard pressed near Wa
terloo and Brussels.
Germany's fighting machine, her
wonderfully trained infantry, is be.
ing pushed forward all along the line.
The army of the Meuse and the first
army Of the Moselle have combined
Their lines stretch forth from the
Dutch boundary, south into Belgian
Luxemburg. One section is attacking
the Namur Notifications.
The fate Of Leigge is unknown. It
is cut off from the Belgian lines. Not
. word can get through regarding the
fate Of the forts. The Belgian war
office says they still hold out. Un.
confirmed reports from Brussels and
from Dutch cities say that, finding it
impossible to hold them longer against
the fire Of the heavy siege guns, the
defending Belgians dynamited and de-
stroyed them.
That Brussels will be taken, or Its
capture is already accomplished, is ia.
ken here is practically certain.
In this connection, the military ex.
pert Of the Daily Express says this:
"Brussels is being held out to Ger.
many as a bait. Germany may des'
troy Brussels but the deeper she
strikes, the more surely does her
head enter the lions mouth. In frons
and, on all sides, Germany will fini
hostile army. History is to repeat
itself. A second emperor is to meet
his Waterloo.

conf Wireless Press bureau from Ber.
lin says in an encounter near Stall.
upohnen, East Prussia, on Aug. IL,
division Of the German First army
corps defeated a Russian, capturing
1000 prisoners and six machine guns.
Many Russian guns were not takes,
but destroyed by the Germans.
Brussels, Aug. 19.-Despite deni.
ais from the war office, the report
that the Liege forts have at last fallen
persist.
Circumstantial accounts of their be-
ing badly battered by the huge Ger
man siege guns that eventually were
placed in position; are related.
These accounts agree that after the
big offensive weapons were mounted
they speedily made the chain of forts
untesable. In accordance with in
structions, the Belgian command ex-
ploded charges previously placed in
position and demolished the defenses,
the Belgians effecting a retreat in
safety.

OUR HOLD ON THE PHILIPPINES.

The unchallenged statement by Representative
Hobson that at the time when the California alien
land ownership question acute there was immi-
nent danger of a sudden Japanese attack upon Manila
and that the garrison alert and ready day and
night against a possible surprise was startling. It
has made a great deal of serious thinking. 1t will
help the passage of the Philippine bill before
Congress.
The altruism of q nation that takes charge OF a
coz OF Asiatics and seeks to civilize 1t and make
its people fit for self-government is admirable in
spirit but it is practicable, and it is pot-
ieally safe for the atrustic nation? We may see
economic policy as well beneyoleuce in such an
act for an island like Porto Rico even Santo Do
mingo close TO our shores and affecting national
interests and welfare.
But there is no national reason, except, perhaps,
the commercial, why We should maintain a charge in
the Far East that means the most serious response
blIities and may at any time involve US in war And
1t Is plain enough that without an immense expendi-
ture the Philippines cannot long be defended against
an attack by 6rst-cass power.
The American people willing to pay for the
national defense and for that of outlying pos
sessions the Atlantic and Pacific waters, but
are not willing to bear the great cost OF making
Gibraltar of the Philippines for the sake of altruism

\ sELF.susTAINING BASIS.

There has for years been much said about tire
conduct Of the United States postoce department at
loss, it is refreshing TO read the report Of Post
master General Burleson which shows that for the
arst time the department on self-sustanng basis;
in fact has surplus of ss56s,545
Those who have pointed out that the manage
ment Of the department has usually shown de-
dcency have camored it is be noticed, for the
private control OF the system the ground that it
would be more advantageous. There has been no
desire for return to fye-cent and tventy-fve-cent
postage has been generally preferred.
All improvements and extensions, the postal
savings banks and parcels post however costly,
preciated Whenever the government has ventured 10
peared passing through dsproportonately cheap
classes OF mail. No individually has wanted
TO overcome the lamented deficiencies. Yet it has
always had TO be made up from public funds
The particular fact of the postal department that
diferentiates It from industry public utility
privately controlled Is pointed by the postmaster
general when he says:
"The service has been administered for the con-
venience OF the public, not for profit"
Service, not profit, is the motive The service the
people have, for which they must pay whatever the
form the payment may take. That the postal depart

4 SHOCK For ENGLAND.

Not since the Napoleonic wars when the Gorscan
had an army and boats assembled at Bouogne for the
invasion of England have the English people had such
a shock as that which was given to them yesterday
morning when German cruisers appeared of the east
coast on the North sea and shelled several towns.
The whole English public rested in the perfect
faith that the navy made enemy's raid the
coast impossible and that the German navy bot
tied up on the German coast with chance of escape
except by defeating great fleet of English battle
ships. And here the apparition of a formidable
German squadron that, after shelling the towns
The coast, sailed away without any damage.
This of number Of surprises that Ger
man naval strategy has given in the There may
be nstanced the sinking Of the English squadron in
the Pacific the sinking of three British cruisers in
the North sea, the destruction of the battleship
Audacous on the Irish coast the sinking of battle
ship in the Thames and the exploits of the Ernden
which compelled England and Japan to comb the sea
with many warships.
But the the is only in its first stages
The great naval drama will unfold in its most terrific
aspects when the ominous silence that rests upon the
two battleship fleets in the North is broken and
the world witnesses the long-wsiedfor battle that

NEWARK FOR THE OLYMPIC GAMES.

The suggestion to the Olympic games OF

cy's quarer-millennia celebration strikes chord of
civic pride. 1t appears reasonably certain that the
worlds quadrennial athletic meet will not be held in
Berlin that year account Of the war. Newark
would be an ideal place for It. Within half an hours
ride of New York, and with adequate transportation
facilities for handling the great crowds, no city in
the United States could make effective bid for
the games if it should be decided hold them in this
country. Newark would be put the world map
as never before.

business community be depended upon to finance
the enterprise any needed for merely from
commercial point of view 1t would be worth millions
of dollars to Newark advertisement, to say

Uses of Tungsten

Tungsten is used principally as an
alloy of high-speed steel-that is,
steel used in making tools used in
metal-turning lathes running at high
speed-to which it impaTts the prop
erty OF holding temper at higher tenn
perature than carbon steels will, ac-
cording to the United States Geologi-
cal Survey. The now well-known
ductile tungsten is used for incan-
descent lamps, which are fast dis
placing carbon lamps. Recently great
ly improved lamps, in which
the wire is wound in helices and III
hich the globes are filed with
nitrogen, have produced a close ap-
proach to white light. These lamps
are furnished in candle powers up
to 1000. Ductile tungsten is pract1-
eally insoluble in all the common
acids; its melting point is higher than
that of any other metal, Its tensile
strength exceeds that of iron and
nickel, it is paramagnetic, it can be
drawn to smaller sizes than any other
metal (0.0002 inch in diameter), and
It's specific gravity is 70 per cent.
higher than that of lead.

Federal government has expended altogether s22s
600 600 for deepening the Delaware river channel
and the city has spent 100000. How much has
been spent in harbor development in New Jersey?
Little by the Federal government, nothing by the
State and nothing By the cities with the exception
of the city of Newark. And yet harbor development
is vital question in New Jersey cities having
water fronts as in Philadelphia and important to
our State as to Pennsylvania The State Legislature
creates commissions that waste time in talk and never
get anywhere. Harbor development in New Jersey
except in Newark is in embryo and likely to take
any material shape until genuine inspiration comes
from the Governor and Legislature.
