You,

Dou you want the merchants of
this town to close their stores?
Do you want the trains to go
whizzinz by without even pause?
Do you want to take this town

Every time you send dollar to
the mail order man you take shin
gle off the roof of one of your own
stores, and it is. to a large extent,
the stores that make this town.
Take the merchandising interests
out of the town. and you will find
there will not be much left you in q
place of empty store buildings. Do
you want to live in such a burg?
Will you not help yourselves by
spending your dollars at home?

The streets of this town are infest-
ed with beggars of every sort as
never before, and the fact that most
of them are undeserving is attested
by their refusal to appeal to the
United Charities association. There
is a move on foot to provide means
of preventing street begging. thus
forcing all who ask aid to appeal to
the association. If this is carried
out, the deserving ones will be help
ed, and the fakirs will not. Du-
rant people may cooperate by refus-
ing direct aid and referring all beg
gars to the association. where their
cases will be investigated.

The slogan of Government Agri-
cultural Agent Fash is Proper
Seed Selection and Careful Soil Gull
tivation." Mr.. Fash showed us two
samples Of cotton the other day;
one of them had been cared for
properly and seed carefully selected
each year, until the boil was as
large as a big orange. The other
had been poorly cared for, and the
seed not selected at all, and after a
five year test. the lint had been en-
tirely bred off of tn boil. and moth
ing was produced but seed. Good
soil is of course necessary, but the
big things in successful farming are
careful cultivation and preparation
of the soil, and seed selection.

Bal,nhardt's Case.

A few days ago George !. Neale,
Democratic nominee in the Fifth con-
gressional district, openly denounced
United States District Attorney Barn
hardt as a drunkard and a libertine
and he declared that Barnhardt was
q disgrace to the people of Hunting
ton, where he lives. The Neale dec
larations arose from Barnhardt's ac-
tiyity against the nomination Of
Neale and in favor OF Senator French.
There are Two conclusions to be
drawn from this. One Is that moot
ed Democratic harmony in this state
does not exist The other is that the
high moral sensibihties Of the Wilson
administration can not pass the
Neale charges against Barnhardt by
and maintain seIf-respect. There is
still another feature, namely, that OF
pernicious political activity on the
part of a federal officeholder. The
Wilson administration has affected to
condemn that sort Of thing, but it
remains to be seen whether the fact
that one who thus engages himself is
a Democrat is to excuse him. Ac-
ton must be taken in this case, If the
administration is sincere in its pro-
testations against pernicious political
activity on the part of ofiiceholders.
Action must also be taken on the
ground Of such grave immortality be-
ing charged.

Some Illustrations.

The Exponent like the president
advises the public just to think that
business is good and it will be good.
That reminds the Telegram of an in
oident that took place here once.
A farmer was invited into a store
and asked to buy an article. The
farmer stated that he could not buy
it as he did not have the money.
The merchant told him just to be-
lieve he was able to make the pur-
chase and he could make it. The
farmer consented to take the article
and after it had been wrapped and
handed to him, he remarked, Just
believe you have been paid for this
and you have BEEN" And then he
walked out of the store with the ar
ticle and the merchant was out both
article and money.
Or here is another illsutration the
Exponent ought not to be too obtuse
to get. II is furnished by the Con-
nellsville, Pa, Courier and Is as fol-
lows:
President Wilson says business
conditions are purely psychological;
In other words, that they reflect a
mere state Of mind; and that II
Business men would make up their
minds that business was good 1t
would be good
The situation is aptly illustrated

Nellie to the track in front Of a fast

I Doubtless the reason the Demo-
cratic press is so arduously trying to
point out the similarity of the Dem
ocratIc platform to that Of the Pro-
gressive is the fear that many Demo
Gratis will desert their own party on
account OF the machine manipulation
and hog combine interests and vote
the Progressive ticket. Is it con-
fession that the Democratic bosses
hope to hoodwink the rank and file
with platforms? Why not loosen
your grip. Big Bosses, on the party,
and let the rank and file have a say
Do that, and you need not be so de-
sirous of trying to make the Demo
cratic and Progressive platforms one
and the same.

Today airships constitute one
OF the most important factors in
modern warfare. All the great
world powers have equipped
their armies with fleets Of aero
planes and dirlgible balloons,
and scientists are bending every
energy toward fnventinR new ex-
plosives and perfecting means Of
hurting them from the clouds
with greater accuracy. Some au-
liberties even predict that the
next great war will be fought in
the clouds by squadrons Of air
ships. Today American ayiators
are scouting over the Mexican
lines around Vera Cruz, and are
demonstrating their marvellous
utility. Equipped with the latest
devices the ultra-modern army
scout can fly over the enemy's
country, sketch or photograph
the topography Of the land be-
low, the forts, cities and troop
positions. BY wireless telegraph
he can send back the informa-
tion TO mis- headquarters miles
away. With the modern rapid
FIRE gun he can defend himself
with a stream of bullets. or he
can drop high explosive bombs
from his craft, scattering death
wherever 1t strikes year ago
1t was reported a Mexican rebel
eronaut dropped a bomb that
killed SO soldiers instantly. II
1t is night. the aeronaut can drop
star bomb that explodes and
shades lasting and radiant
light on the spot he is lowering
over. To escape from the new
aerial guns designed to fight air
ships, the modern aeronaut can
drop the new German bomb that
spreads dense, heavy pail OF
smoke between earth and airship
and thus permit the aviator to
escape. Or he can drop another
kind which gives OF poisonous
gas capable Of killing everything
living within 100 yards.
