Ten Commandments
Of A Spotless Town

|. Don't throw anything on the
sidewalk or street. Find rub
bish-can.
2. Don't tear up paper and
scatter it anywhere.
8. Don't let any piles of ashes
or rubbish stay in your back yard.
4. Don't mix ashes and garbage
in the same can. Pigs don't like
to eat old coal or slinkers.
5. Don't fill the ash bin and gar
bage can too full.
6. Don't chalk the sidewalk,
fences, buildings or pavements.
7. Don't deface park benches,
school furniture or any public prop
erty.
s. Don't forget that horses love
banana skins. A banana skin isn't
as dangerous if it is inside of a
horses stomach.
9. Don't do anything that vii
bring disgrace to the city where
you live.
10 Don't expect your city to
become clean and perfect all at
once. 1t will become an ideal city
only when everybody does some,
thing every day to make things
better.

MasterpIece in Mosaic.

At Iyry, a Paris suburb, has just
died a remarkable old man, a septua-
genarian named Fraissard. He died
in poverty, but had he chosen he
could have become one Of the most
famous European sculptors. AS 1t
was, he finished life as he began it
more or less penniless. When boy
he was apprenticed to a marble cut
ter, and he at once discovered MS
powers in this direction. For 50
years, says the London News, he had
continued to execute the most beau
tiful works of art, mostly in mosaics.
M. Fraissard's masterpieces took him
nearly twenty-four years to perfect.
It is a black marble table. In the
middle is a chessboard, on either side
of which are playing cards arranged
in fans. On the table are dominoes
and dice, cigars and cigarettes, and
several coins in gold and silver. All
these, of course, are inlaid. The ma
trials in the table, beside the black
marble, are agate, onyx, porphyry,
malachite, lapis lazuli, the tones OF
which are black, red, orange, blue
and white. Ninety different kinds of
marble also were used.

Obituary
Harold

Virgil Miles Harold was born in
Crabbottom, Va. August II, 1888:
departed this life apout eight miles
southeast of Parker July 2, 1914.
The family moved to Kansas in
February, 1903. Virgil's father
died in 1905, leaving wife and
eight children, of whom the subject
of this sketch was the second. Vir-
gil was a loving and dutiful son to
his widowed mother, a son Of
whom any mother might we'll be
proud. The names of the other
children are: William M. of Long
Beadh, Cal. Loring w. of Cadmus;
Maude F., Meade f.. Sarah, Myrtle
and Mable. All of the last named
are at home with their mother
The funeral services were con-
Quoted by the writer at the Meth
odist church here on the afternoon
of July 4,h. So large was the at
tendance that the lecture room OF
the church was thrown open, and
even then many were not able to
secure seats and a good many were
compelled to remain on the outside
of the church. Many beautiful
floral tributes were placed on the
casket by friends. After the services
at he church, followed by one of
the longest funeral trains ever seen
in Parker, the mortal body OF Vlr-
gil Harold was taken to Highland
cemetery far interment
The writer of this sketch, to
gether with a large number of
fri ends, would express heartfelt
sympathy for the grief-stricken
mother and the brothers and sisters,
resultant from the unexpected and
tragic death of their son and broth
er. May the All-Father speak to
their troubled hearts as no one else
can. Frank P. Reno.

Great Output of
Argentine Cattle

With porterhouse steak at 80
cents pound retail as an imml-
nent fact the bsef-eaters of the
world are getting somewhat worrl-
ed especially those who happen to
be domiciled in the United States.
Argentina is supplying some of her
product. but when the enormous
total of Uncle Sans consumption
is taken into consideration the
quantity imported is not even as
much as the proverbial drop in the
bucket. Where can we look for
more meat?--is the all-absorbing
question.
Something over a hundred years
ago the hacendados (ranchmen) of
Uruguay complained to the govern
ment that over 100000 head Of
cattle were being killed annually
for their hides alone! The carcas.
ses were thrown to the dogs, or
left on the rolling pampas for the
vultures to devour. Beef in Uru-
quay was so plentiful that it was
something of a nuisance evidently.
Of course that day has passed but
they still have cattle enough down
there to convert some 700, 900 head
into 113, 100000 pounds of jerked
beef in one year most of which is
sold to Brazil, Cuba, Porto Rico,
and other tropical countries. Think
of the juicy tenderloins of 100000
head of cattle going into jerked
beef.
Again there are many thousands
of Uruguayan cattle annually con-
verted into extract of beef. Per-
habs but few people know that the
first great factory for the produc-
ton of beef extract known to the
world was established at Fray Ben
tos little city on the uruguay
River about 100 miles above
Buenos Aires, the cosmopolitan
capital of Argentina, and that it is
still doing business "at the same
old stand" although the "stand''
has grown enormously larger since
the time it became the pioneer in
the beef-tea industry. The world
wide reputation of this concern is
perhaps largely due to the high
grade of the cattle of Uruguay, as
we'll as to the clearly and seen
tifc manner of the preparation OF
the nrOduct,

Hot Footed After
Mail Order Folks

Staunton Leader: S>aunton mer-
chants are going hotfooted after the
mail older houses and have begun
an advertising campaign in which
they promise the public that they
will duplicate goods and prices OF
any mail order catalogue brought
to them. They believe that they
can give better goods and quality
price considered, than the mail
order houses who have enormous
printing, postage, advertising and
other excess expenses which they
do not have, and they are prepared
to back up that belief with an offer
such as Staunton shoppers have
never before received. So, Mr.. and
Mrs. Prospective Purchaser. when
YOU see something in your little Ole
Mail Order Catalogue that looks
good and tempts your purse, show
him the picture, description ano
price and give him an opportunity
to Make Good. And sure, you Il
feel better for having bought it
right here at home, without delay,
or excess expense and without dellc,
ious uncertainty of having bought
something you have never seen and
probably gotten badly stuck" as
a consequence.
Why cant our merchants get to-
gether and formulate some plans to
keep this business at home. 1t Is
worth looking after as thouands Of
dollars are going OUT each year
draining the county of its cash su'
plv. Are we going to allow thu
mail order business to continue tt

Our County Fair

But when he piles it on too thick,

A pair of we'll matched Devon steers
That draw two tons of stone;
And when he says it can't be done,

Si!e Jones, steers do just that stunt
Out at our County Fair. -

He praises up sky high,
Show pumpkins big as wagon
wheels,
And everp kind of pie;
Or patchwork quilts all made by
hand
Of tiny blocks cut square,;
We've shown these things for
twenty years
Out at our County Fair
I s'pose he has seen lots of things,
But so have I, b'gosh!
And country pumpkins just as
good
As any city squash.
He nevel praises anything
Out here Except the air;
But you just watch! he'll change

What Is Your Aim?

It depends chiefly whether you are

or its condemnation Is given. But II
you will work for the praise Of that
inner spirit, which, for lack of bet
ter name, we call conscience, no pain
shall be felt at what the world does
or says. In truth, If you have high
and good purpose and honestly t-'y to
attain it, you must apparently fail, In
some measure, because all strength Is

tends the farthest underground. But
mere failure should be the last thing
