.1Es." WE SAY. PLAY FAIR"

II the wholesale producers Of gar
den truck. etc. in the vicinity OF South
Bend. and the grocers and butchers
% the city. want a wholesale market
where they can get together more
conveniently than by the present store

ness whs.ev
This ~ our answer TO III. II. S"
whose letter appears in Letters Of
the People" today.
In an effort to defend the wholesale
market idea III H. s." admits ex-
actly what we had expected. The city
is asked TO divide it's market energies
between accommodations to the gro
GERS and butchers and the consumers,
and we still believe. after a manner
that would give the former the ad-
vantage.
He need not TO have told us that the
retailers are adverse TO a city market
for the people. We concede that il is
perfectly natural that they should be.
II is further self-evident that il would
be a great convenience to them and
to the Wholesale growers If they could
have a market place. It is foolish.
however, as we see 1t, to presume
that they cannot have such a place
without municipal action. With Pres.
Lang in the council, and with Mayor
Keller cooperating, there is little to
fear, at least from the present admin
istration, by way OF interference.
II is not the mission of the munic-
ipality TO furnish market places for
special interests-and that is what
the grocers and butchers become IN
der the proposed plan; recipients, if
you please, of a special favor.
The plans under anticipation at the
city hall, is TO open the market in the
early morning TO the grocers and
butchers. say until o'clock. and then
let the people come in and buy up the
leavings. Maybe on these. prices
might be reduced a bit. but it is not
the leavings that the people want
It makes but little difference, so far
as we can see, whether the mayor has
had nothing TO do with the move
ment looking to the establishment Of
a wholesale market or not. 1t is
enough that it is admitted that he has
been asked for official sanction"
and laid in seauin 4 "a suitable loca-
ton So
We happen 10 know where The
suitable location is and the kind OF
official sanction" the mayor has
been and Is planning TO extend. We
insist therefore that we are not blam-
ing the mayor where he - not
guilty" and when 1t comes to talking
about playing fair. we submit that the
dictum is due quite as much from the
mayor TO the people, as it can posi-
bly, be TO him.
We understand that this admins
tratlOn was TO be one without grants
OF special privilege" and we would
Ike TO know if 1t is 10 be a frost.

SPEAKING Of philosophy we are
drawn to that of Mr. Rockefeller as
expressed in his we'll advertised gifts

Injunction, "A penny to spend and a
nickel TO save" BY this means, which
he recommends TO the rising genera
ton, Mr.. Rockefeller has accumulat-
ed enough TO keep the wolf from the
door in his declining years.
OUR apprehension-if we have one
will be that the children will spend
the nickel and save the penny for the
day Mr.. Rockefeller doesn't come
around. And that is why we have so
few multi millionaires.

have been a widower-has been pay
ing attention TO the bride of a sea-
son in an open and scandaloUs man
ner. He sang TO her from the boughs
of the adjacent trees and even carried
his suit TO the very door of her home,
but the virtuous little wife remained
. true TO her husband and repulsed his
advances with indignation. Time and
again the husband drove the intruder
away, but he promptly returned as
soon as the coast was clear. Yester-
| day when he came TO renew his at
! tack on the heart of Mrs. Wren he
! found no one at home. Cautiously he
approached the house and peered in,
I then, taking courage, entered Soon
he reappeared with an egg in his bill.
! He carried it to the top of a nearby
/ tree and dropped it. Three times this
was repeated and then the people who
witnessed his performance drove
] him away Soon the little wife re-
! turned and discovered the outrage.
! She stood on the porch in front of her
! door and gave vent to her grief in pit
eous cries. Her mate was greatly
! troubled and indignant at first, but
soon regained his composure and be-
! gan to sing to her. and sadly but with
new courage she returned to her nest.

Not Nseessary to Put . Telephone Transmitter to tho Mouth. In case one does not care to stoop
 to . telephone while talking. or does not care to put the transmitter to tho mouth, he can make himself heard by very simple means Simply place the abdomen or the chest against the
 mouthpiece of the transmitter and talk into the open air. and the sound will get to the party on the other end. The whole chest wall and the wall of the abdomen vibrate in unison when the
 mouth Is speaking. as they are a great sounding board. and they will transmit
 the proper sound waves to the dia-
 phragm. This is easy to try and as-
 tonishing in result.
 Another peculiar thing noticed in
 telephones at times Is phantom talk heard in a receiver when one is wait ing for central to give connection. Odd
 scraps of conversations may be heard
 in this manner. They are probably due to conversations going on over
 wires lying in close proximity to the

SENSITIVE SEISM0GRAPHs.

They Serve Other Purposes Than Re. cording Earthquakes.
 Contrary to popular belief. earth quakes are by no means rare occur rences. As a matter of fact, practically all places on the surface of the earth
 experience some kind of tremor or shake at least once an hour. and lesser |tremblings are even more frequent
 This fact has been established since the opening throughout the world of stations where seismographs record the slightest movement of this earth of
 ours.
 The seismographs can be made to serve several other useful purposes besides the recording of earthquakes.
 Some of them are so delicate that 8 railroad train running mile away will affect them.
 Seismograph records have frequently been produced in court to show that the operation of heavy machinery produced sufficient vibration in near by buildings to make the owners of the factory lia- ble for damages.
 Probably the most unusual purpose to which the seismograph has ever
 been put is that of determining the amount of vibration in a locomotive as a result of unbalanced driving wheels. Engineers have devised some ingen-
 ious methods of cutting down this vi-
 bration. which means a greatly de- creased consumption of coaL-New York American.

OLDEST PARIS NEWSPAPER.

The Journal Dss psbats and Napo.
 Icons Famous Nsws Order.
 The oldest newspaper in Paris, the Journal des Debats, was one of the cluster of newspapers which sprang into being with the beginnings of pop ular government in 1789.
 It was founded by . printer named Baudoin, and purported to be, as its name shows, a mere chronicle of po- ntical events. Owing to its pungent criticisms of men and affairs 1t soon became one of the most influential of the Paris journals.
 In 1905 the paper was compelled by Napoleon to change its name and be- came the Journal de PEmpire. It was in the course of the correspondence which took place between Napoleon and the editor, Fievee, on the subject of the threatened censorship that the emperor gave the order which has be- come famous, about the policy of the newspaper, that 1t should publish no news unfavorable to the government until the truth was 50 well known that publication was needless"
 After Napo'eon's retirement to Elba the paper resumed its old title. It is still edited and printed in the house where it was first started, beside the church of St. Germain de pAuxerrois, from the tower of which the signal was given for the massacre of St Bar tholomew's eve Of all the great Paris newspapers 1t has been the least af- fected by the modern developments of journalism, and its dignifled columns are an encouragement to thoughtful re- fection and serious study of affairs.

THE OLD TRADE DOLLAR.

And the Exact Ratio of Gold to eiivsr
 In the Year 1870.
 Three mining engineers were gather ed together the other day, and the question as to the value of an old trade dollar came up. Strange as 1t may seem, no one knew its value. and there was considerable haziness as to the exact value of an ounce of pure gold or of the old fashioned value of an ounce of silver, says a correspondent in the Engineering and Mining Jour- nal. Calculations which made seem- ed to indicate that the ratio of gold to silver in 1870 was not exactly 16 to l. Possibly 1t may be of interest to the profession to know the exact figures which have received from the assay CT of the mint bureau, United States treasury.
 Coinage value of ono ounce pure gold is $2O.671s34626. A convenient fact, easy to remember, regarding this figure is that forty-three ounces of coin gold, 900 fine, are worth $500.

 The trade dollar was coined 50 that 1t might be used in the orient on a parity with the Mexican dollar, which 1t slightly exceeded in value. The Mexican dollar, no longer coined, weighed 417.74 grains and was 902.7 fine, slightly in excess of the United States flneness of 900.
 In 1870 the ratio of gold to silver was not 16 to l. but 15.9684- to 1. This silver ratio has been discontin- ued, and the ratio for the present sub sidiary coinage is 1495340 to l.

The doctor was soon at the child's bedside. Remedies were administered: then the agonized pair watched the fight for life-skill and vitality on one side, fierce disease on the other. When at last the struggle ceased the gray dawn of day was looking in at the window. Life had won. The child slept.
 "she Is all right now," said the doc tor, shaking the mans hand, which had gripped his. and feeling his heart grow warmer under the look of mute gratitude the woman turned upon him.
 When he had gone the two stood side by side at the baby's crib. listening to her regular breathing. Then with one accord they turned and kissed each other. And in that kiss the icy barrier between them melted away.-Atlanta Constitution.
