To the People of Garland County:

We respectfully invite your attention to the candidacy of Senator James P. Clarke for reelection.
 We submit the following as some of the reasons why he should be SuppOrted:
 l. He is the most distinguished states man the South has furnished to the pub- lie fife of the Nation within fifty years. In support of this statement, we cite his pO- sitiOn in the Senate. He is President Pro Tenn of the Senate, a position that has never been held by Southern Senator, except one, Senator Isham G. Harris, of Tennessee. He is chairman of the great Committee on Commerce, which holds the purse-strings of the Nation. He is d member of the Foreign Relations Com mittee and Committee on Military Af- fairs. These comprise the very choicest Committee assignments in the Senate.
 2. His vote made the building of the Panama Canal possible. Without it the treaty would not have been ratified, nor the Canal built for many years.
 }. It is due to his vote alone that the constitutional amendment was submit. ted, providing for direct election of United States Senators, which is now the law. But for him, this greatly desired measure would have been postponed in- definitely.
 4. He is one of the principal and most active supporters of the present admin IstratIon. William J. Bryan says of him: He has at all times supported President

Invisible Clock,

A public clock which can be heard
but not seen is one of Londons curious
possessions. 1t is in the tower of st.
Mary Abbotts church, Kensington, and
is the only public clock in the imme.
date neighborhood
1t chimes the quarters and the hours,
but commits itself no further 1t has
no dial, no hands, no outward and
visible sign Of any kind to show that
it is a clock
This eccentricity it is explained, is
the result of two causes, one aesthet-
ic, the other financial When the
tower was built in 1879 clock was
suggested as an afterthought, but the
architect protested that it would mean
the addition Of Is feet to the tower,
and the ruin Of its cherished proper
tons A second point was that the
church, having but slender funds,
could not afford a clock with a dial.
A compromise was arrived at by in
stalling the works of a Ginning clock
in the belfry, without dial or hands

Passing of Old Houses.

Riders and walkers through the New
England countryside and villages learn
to look for the venerable houses,
many of them centenarians twice over,
which not only distinguish this region,
but fit into its landscapes with suit
ability which newer buildings some
how lack. AS this interest grows, the
observer begins to notice that they
are all too rapidly disappearing to
give place to modern houses which
are certainly no improvement in work
manship and architectural design, and
not necessarily superior in comfort
and convenience II the old houses are
properly handled. In losing these an
cient buildings we are losing not only
parcels of history; we are losing quite
as much a dignifled and fitting style
Of domestic architecture which is all
the more effective by being severely
plain.-Boston Transcript.

A GUARDIAN
BY AUGUSTUS GOODRICH sHER-
WIN.

I'VE must cut expenses at every
point" spoke Gerald Wayne. The
same program must be followed out
at the works. Let the new conditions
commence at once
Very well, SIR" bowed Addison
Woods, his office manager.
Wayne looked grim and burdened,
his fine face troubled and careworn
for young man. The ogre Of bust
ness was driving him, however, and
he seemed wandering from the smooth
even path of success
For over year there had been an
inexplicable hitch in business, losses
hard to trace, yearly summing up
with the balance on the wrong side Of
the ledger.
He had left everything in mana
gerial way to Woods, trusting reli-
antly to him. He had actually felt
sorry, when in the rush months Woods
tirelessly, uncomplainingly remained
working at the office many time till
clear after midnight.
Where was the leak? The books
were amazingly correct. The works
were under competent management,
yet there was a deficit in profit and
in the volume of business done.
The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1914-07-02

So one morning Wayne started out
to put In operation new system of
economy. Addison Woods smiled COW
ertly after his departure. He was
very matter-of-fact when Wayne re-
turned from the factory.
II have cut the office expenses
forty per cent, Mr.. Wayne" he an
nounced. There were four sub
clerks who could be spared, two
stenographers, and cut on our sta
tionery supplies. BY the way. too, I
have sub-let the rear Office. It was
not much use for US except as store
room"
Very good" commended Wayne.
and he took casual glance in at =
dainty industrious figure bent over q
neat table covered with pens, colored
inks and brushes.
who is she?' he inquired, nightly
attracted by the sweet face bent over
her work.
"A Miss Eleanor Wharton. Works
for fashionable stationer, believe.
Fills In wedding cards and decorates.
She Is quiet, orderly and minds her
own business"
A month went by and late one
afternoon Wayne, passing the door Of
the rear room was arrested by the
echo of faint sob. He stepped over
the threshold to find Miss Wharton
with her face buried in her hands.
She was crying, but strove to hide her
emotion as Wayne, rather wonderingly,
approached her.
you seem troubled" he said, with
the usual frank earnestness Of his
sterling nature.
Il have been greatly disappoint-
ed" futtered the young girl" | am
afraid | shall have to give up the Of
fee, sir"
why how is that?" inquired
Wayne.
THE business house / have been
working for has failed. can readily
make a new connection, but my little
capital is gone and / could not pay
the rent here until we'll on in the
month"
BLESS mel" cried Wayne cheerily,
I'VE always give thirty days credit to
the trade, why not to you? Rest easy,
Miss Wharton, and II you wish to an
ticipate later returns just speak to
our cashier"
She gave him a grateful look he
never forgot. Two days later she
came to him with happy beaming face.
Just think of it," she said buoy
antly. Z have made a new business
connection with so much work to do
that can employ all my evenings, il
l choose. Can l remain here after
closing time II l pay for the lights?"
OF course there was no objection
to that. Daily Wayne made it point
to pass few moments chatting with
the Industrious little sub-tenant 1t
was a relaxation from the grinding
cares of business to bend near to that
pure, hopeful face.
Miss Wharton paid up all arrears
with sparkling thankful eyes. One
evening Wayne insisted on her taking
a respite from her hard work in a spin
in his automobile through the parks
One evening he brought her bouquet
Of early flowers.

And one evening-he never forgot 1t
he was seated in his room a mile
away from the Office, when the tele-
phone called with a noisy jangle
Mr.. Wayne?'-the tones were
breathless.
"Yes-who is this?'
Your office-Miss Wharton"
"Yes?"
Come, oh. come at once Do not
lose a precious second"
What is it?" asked Wayne in star
tied wonderment.
Il have done a dreadful thing! It
was for your sake-Oh, hurry! hurry"
Nerveless hands seemed to drop the
receiver at the other end of the line.
Wayne recognized deep agitation
more, distress and fright in the rapid
accents that had come over the line.
Then he sprang to action. A call to
his chauffeur, and within three min
utes he was seated in the machine,
with the speedy mandate, Make
time"
Wayne reached the building In which
his office was located He rushed up
the stairs. The Office door was locked.
He was quickly beyond the barrier He
saw an empty lighted room. Then,
tottering through the doorway Of the
sub-tenant's apartments there showed
the sub-tenant herself.
Her face was colorless, her eyes
filled with a wild intangible horror.
Quick, quick" she gasped, point
ing a terrified finger at the closed
door of the big steel vault-"there!
there!"
She sank to chair overcome, well
nigh at the point of fainting away.
What do you mean?" inquired
Wayne.
In the vault. | shut them in. Two
men-your manager and his friend
had to- turned the combination"
Amazed, thrilled, Wayne ran toward
the vault. He turned the combination
and swung open the door, went inside
and in turn carried the two men from
the sitting air of the vault-Woods,
his manager, and his friend, both un-
conscious.
"Quick-the phone! These men
are almost overcome. Call DOCTOR"
mo, the police said Eleanor, re-
gaining her composure in a meas
ure and then as the men slightly
moved she faltered out her tragic
story.
She had been seated in the sub-of-
flee in the dark when Woods and his
companion came in, never suspecting
her proximity She was amazed, be-
wildered, shocked at the conversation
that took place.
1t appeared that Woods and this
confederate had been Systematically
swindling the house through overship-
ments, fraudulent bills of lading and
altered checks. They were about to
fee. Eleanor heard Woods say that
his bank book, securities and safety
deposit key were In his box in the
vault.
Il thought of you" she faltered to
Gerald. II shut them in the vault"
Restitution was sternly demanded
by Gerald when Woods recovered con-
seriousness. The villain and his &C.
complete left the office free to go
where they would. but despoiled Of
their stealings.
1T seems needed a guardian and
found one In YOU" spoke Gerald ten.
derby, as he and Eleanor stood alone
in the Office after the departure OF
the others. "Will you continue In
that capacity and-as my wife?' he
asked boldly.
She could not say him nay-they
were so suited to one another-and
they left the office arm linked in
arm, heart linked to heart.

BIC DROP IN LARD
More Than 81, ,OO0. 900 Cnt From
Warehouse Holdings,
Pork Declines s1.s5 and Bacon
M IS Cents.

Chicago. Aug. 3.-War today shrunk
prices on the board Of trade and in no
case did any staple at the close show
any rise in value. Losses in provisions
were on a huge scale.
More than a million dollars was cut
from the alue of the warehouse stock
Of lard in Chicago alone. Dealings in
lard were remarkably heavy, amounting
to 10000 tierces and there were $4,000
tierces offered with no takers. The fac I.
that Germany is the best foreign custo-
mcr for American lard and that trade
with that country has come to a COM
pleete standstill was largely responsible
for a decline which in the last few min
utes of the day reached an extreme of
$1.25.
Tightness of the money market con-
tributed to the decline not only In lard
but in other provisions and especially
also in live hogs. Pork broke $1.55. Ia
con dropped more than So cents.
September corn declined more than 3
cents, but otherwise corn prices and
those of all other cereals were not ex-
traordinarily affected.
The net decline in wheat for the day
was Ia C to I 1-4@l 3-Sc.

posts, the bombardment of Russian
Baltic port by a German warship and
the seizure of merchant ships by Rus
sia and Germany constituted the strik-
ing features today of the war on which
virtually the whole continent OF
Europe has started.
The position to be taken by the Brit
ish empire remained still to be de-
fined this morning but it was feared
that Germany's seizure of Belgian ter
ritory would be deciding factor
which would lead Britons to take the
sword in hand, as under the treaty OF
London of 1899 Great Britain stands
pledged to maintain Belgium's neu-
tralfty.
Evidences were not lacking today of
the grave view of the situation taken
by all classes in the United Kingdom.
The leaders of the opposition parties
were called into council by the cabinet
and it was reported that the cancella-
ton of Field Marshal Earl Kitchener's
return to Egypt was q prelude to his
appointment az minister of war.

quarters that due warning had been

clared the United States owe it to
mankind to help the rest of the world
during the present crisis
The president declared the United
States could gain great and permanent
glory during the present trouble pro-
vided no one lost his head. The presi-
dent urged that nothing be done in
America to add to the excitement of
the world. There is sure to be fncon-
venience to the financial institutions
of the country, he told the callers, but
added that the administration is fully
prepared to help out in all difficulties.
He urged that no credence be given to
unconfirmed reports of a sensational
nature.
The president declared there was no
cause for any serious alarm in the
United States. The administration is
bending every effort, he said, toward
getting ships to carry the food stuffs
and other products of the United
States to all the world and to bring
home Americana stranded in Europe.
A proclamation of neutrality, Mr.
Wilson, said, will be issued as soon as
it can be completed by the state de-
partment- He does not believe there
will be any necessity for congress to
remain in session because of the war
in Europe.

At President Wilson's plea that
strike be averted because of the sensi-
tive situation in the United States, as
the result of the European crisis, the
railway managers visited the White
House just before noon and advised
the president that they would accept
! the plan proposed by the federal board
OF mediation which had already been
passed upon favorably by the repre-
sentatives of the enginemen and fire.
men.
The plan provides that the question
Of wages shall be arbitrated under the
Newlands act and that rules and regu-
lations enforced prior to October. 1913,
shall be restored.
The decision Of the railway managers
was given personally to the president
today by q committee headed by A. w.
Trenholm. They gave the president a
letter setting out their position.
Immediately after the call of the rail-
way managers. the federal board of
mediation was notified of the favorable
outcome. Chairman Chambers at once
notified the representatives of the en-
ginemen and ffremen.
Tue Presidents Appeal.
The president had written the rail-
way managers, saying:
In view of the worldwide condi-
tons. unparalleled In recent history
which have arisen within the last few
days. it Is obvious that the suspension
of business on roads serving more than
half the territory Of the United States
would be- q calamity of incalculable
magnitude.

which hardly permits q full considera-
ton of the merits Of the controversy
and feel that In the circumstances I
can appeal with confidence to your
patriotism and to your regard for the
public welfare to make whatever sac
rfffce is necessary to avert national
disaster"
The reply OF the managers said:
Under any ordinary circumstances
we should feel that our plain duty to
the interests committed to our charge
would not merely justify but would re-

tration that would recognize our right
