MARITIME RULES
Reiterates Statement That His
Boat Was at Standstill
When Hit.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-Captain E.
E. Johnson, of the Old Dominion
liner Monroe, which sank off the Nir-
ginia coast last week with loss of
forty lives, arrived here today, and
was shown dispatches quoting Cap
tain Berry, of the Nantucket. which
rammed the Monroe. as saying the
Monroe at the time Of the collision
was attempting TO pass the Nan
tucket starboard to starboard, con-
trary to maritime regulations.
II suppose Captain Berry's trying
to save his ticket" said Johnson.
1--WE were at a standstill when the
Nantucket hit us. / think his report
that the Nantucket's engines were
reversed must be true, as the Nan
tucket backed away Immediately
after we were hit.
'I was the last man to leave the
Monroe, and stepped directly from
the deck into lifeboat. as the port
rail was then beneath the water We
rowed around for some time and
picked up several persons. That is
all care to say"
NORFOLK. Va. Feb. 2.-Divers
went down in a choppy sea today
for bodies in the sunken Old Domin
ion liner Monroe. None had come to

seemed to be in finding bodies pin

A stiff breeze made the work of
the divers difficult. If bodies are
found a special steamer will be sent
out for them.

her keel in eighty-four feet of water,

The Home Paper.

Ex-Governor Francis once said the
following of newspapers Each year
the local papers give from $500 up in
free lines to the community in which it
is located. No other agency can or
will do this. The publisher, in proper
ton to his means, does more for his
town than any other ten men, and in
all fairness he ought to be well sup
ported because you like him or adj
mire his writing but because the local
paper is the best investment a commu-
nifty can make 1t may not be brill
liantly edited or crowded with thought.
but financially it is of more benefit to
the community than the preacher or
the teacher. Understand meg do not
mean mentally, and yet on moral ques-
tions you viii find most of the papers
on the right side. Today the editors of
the local papers do the most for the
least money of any people on earth. "

New Town Clock.

The work of installing the new town
clock in st. Mary's church steeple was
completed on Monday of this week by
Mr.. M. Schwalbach of Milwaukee.
The obtaining of this clock was made
possible Though the enthusiastic CO.
operation and generous contributions
of our business men, other prominent
citizens and the interchangeable work of
the pastor of the church.
The clock was manufactured by M.
Schwrlbach & Sons of Milwaukee, and
is an addition to our town of which
every citizen can justly be proud
The clock strikes every quarter of an
hour the first quarter it strikes one,
secead quarter, or half hour, two;
third quarter three; fourth quarter
four, and then the hour of the day.
With many it is the opinion that the
four strokes in connection with hour
could be omitted without disadvantage
to alvone.

Apples Plentiful.

When apples are plentiful and cheap
people can rejoice for there is no more
healthful fruit nor one that SO many
enjoy. For the ordinary individual APP
piles are better than medicine and are
used in as many ways as are potatoes
and are fully as nutritious.
Reports from the apple districts this
year are to the effect that the crop is
unusually large, so large that the price
the farmer gets hardly pays him to
pick. the fruit which has laden his trees,
so he claims. Away from the orchards
the consumer has not discovered that
the cost is less than he wants to pay.
Housewives recognize the value of
apples for daily use. Nothing puts
more happiness in children than to have
a barrel of apples in the house. They
are great preservers of health and
make visits to the doctors often un-
necessary.

A single rat, the experts say may

Rats with social aspirations. who live
exclusively in hotels, have been known
to eat S. north and more per year.
Rather less, on the whole, than the
average human guest at these estab-
lishments. yet totaling up to about
$50, 900, 600 year cost to these United
States for the maintenance of the rat
population. Rats cost Philadelphia
something more than 81 600, 900 a year.
Somehow we never missed the money
until recently. Somehow we never

we're willing to tolerate the rat so long

since he has committed the unpardon-

romance left TO him these days anyhow.

NUMBER As
If We Only Knew.

IF knew you and you knew me
IN bet we would not disagree;
If we had grasped each others hand
We could not fail to understand
That each intends to do what's right
And treat the other square and white.
So henceforth friends, let it be known
That each has troubles of his own,
Troubles that would less troublous be
If knew you and you knew me-
This choice sentiment, so well ex-
pressed, applies to the associations of
life, from the close communion in the
home. to every channel where elbows
touch elbows in the busy struggle for
existence.
Two boys past middle life, were 10
impressed with the tribute TO their
fathers memory by the community
where he had long resided, that they
said as they looked into the open grave,
''We never knew our father And
yet he had toiled and sacrificed for
them for half century.
With the mother il is different, for
every boy knows his mother. He dis
covers early in life that his mothers
heart lies close to the surface and is SO
full Of sympathy that it always re-
spends TO the touch of appeal
On general principles, we do not know
very much Of each other, and this lack
of knowledge results in hasty Judgment
and all sorts of mischief. Ii applies TO
nations as well as individuals. Until the
worlds greatest war startled us like a
flash of lightning out of blue sky, the
theory was generally believed that the
world was growing better, but the
deeds of horror and Wholesale murder
daily recorded, are so revolving thar we
seem to be drifting back to the dark
ages.
1t is now estimated that 1000, 600
lives will be sacrificed and as many
homes desolated, and all for what?
Eeho IL the only answer, but murder is
the only name for the tragedy. The
people Of the old world thought they
knew each other, but they didn't
1t is possible that out Of this fright
full holocaust may dawn an era Of peace
which shall be abiding, but the wounds
and scars will remain as q sad remind
er Of barbarian in the twentieth CEN
fury. and generations vet unborn will

What we need to cultivate in this and
every other land is broader charity
for all mankind. "Thc Brotherhood of
man" is far from a reality, and will
continue to oe, 80 long as selhshness is

The Quality the Doctor
Demands

Doctors buy Rubber Goods here
because they can find here the kind
of goods they want They also
send their patients to US because
their patients can find the kind OF
goods the doctors want them to

Our rule in buying Rubber
Goods is to buy the best that are
made for strength, finish and weav-
ing quality, and therefore we have
the kind that the doctor and every
one who knows good Rubber
Goods demands. Our prices are
extremely low.
