Bringing Up Records Of the Past and
Giving the Younger Readers of To-
day a Pretty Comprehensive knowl-
edge of the Things that Most Con-
cerned Generations that Have Gone
Before.
The first installment of the notes
appearing under this heading was
published in our issue of November IA,
1913. The notes are being prepared
by the editor as time and opportunity
permit Their purpose Is to bring
into review the events Of the past for
the pleasure and satisfaction OF the
older people and for the entertainment
and instruction Of the present genera
ton. Having commenced with the
year 1856. 1t is the desire of the editor
to present from the records. a truthful
and accurate picture Of conditions as
they existed Immediately preceding
the Civil war. This will be followed
by review Of the war period, includ-
ing the names Of York county soldiers
who went to the war singly and In
companies, and then will follow the
events Of the reconstruction period
and the doings Of the Ku-Klux. All
along the editor will keep in mind in
cidents Of personal interest, marriages
and deaths Of we'll known people,
weather events and general happen
ings out Of the ordinary. In the mean
time persons who may desire further
information about matters that may
have been only briefly mentioned are
invited to call at the office Of the edt-
tor and examine the original records.

Difficulties experienced by DO

Difficulties experienced by postal
officials in teaching the people to
save and economize" are set forth by
Third Assistant Postmaster General
Dockery in his annual report, made
public last Tuesday. To minimize this
problem, Mr.. Dockery recommends
the Inauguration Of a campaign OF
education by which the people may be
brought into closer touch with the
postal savings service. The funda-
mental purpose Of the negotiation is
to create spontaneous desire to
save and economiZe.' Already the
department has called upon its depos-
itory postmasters to further such a
measurement. A statement, showing
the growth Of the postal savings sys-
tenn, is contained in the report AT the
close Of the first six months Of oper-
alton there were 1913 depositors
with $677,145 placed to their credit. In
June 80. 1913, at the close Of two and
a half years, there were 331,006 de-
positors with $33,S1S,S70 to their
credit. The use Of the parcels post
service as ready, cheap and efficient
means Of transportation has been re-
allied by the people and they nave
accepted it as their utility agent, MT
Dockery asserts. By 1t, the report
concludes, the consumer Is placed In
direct touch with the farmer and pro-
ducer whose products are now laid al
his door for the lowest possible price
and the way to the lowering or the
high cost Of living Is operated

Wanted to Escape in Time.-1n a
country town in the English midlands
there is a man who is so noted for his
conversational abilities that his ac-
quaintances avoid giving him unnec-
essary opportunities to talk.
One morning this man rode up to
a hotel in the neighborhood just as
the guests were finishing breakfast.
He dismounted, walked in, saluted the
landlord in his usual loud tones and
declared that he was so cold that he
could hardly talk.
Just then a nervous traveller who
was present stepped up to the land
lord and, taking him by the coat,
said:
"Mr. L, have my bill brought
as soon as possible"
What is the matter, my dear sir?''
inquired the anxious landlord. Has
anything happened?"
Nothing, nothing. Only I want to
get away from here before that man
thaws"

The school and church are the two
chief land marks on the island. The
reason they were built in such a
sparsely populated spot Is that in win
ter It is almost impossible to leave
the island. The mud is literally knee
deep, and the ferry that runs to and
from the island is dangerous. A novel
method Of obtaining the services OF
the ferrymen, who live opposite the
island, Is by opening the white door
of hut facing the shore. The fer
ry-men on the lookout know that the
open door Is q signal for the ferry. At
night a lighted candle held aloft
serves the purpose of the open door.

PHILIPPINES AS AN ASSET
Train Our Fighting Mon Now and u
Nav Hahn Us in Future.

Train Our Fighting Men Now and II
May Help Us in Future.
With the theory presented by one OF
our readers that we need the Philip
pines as a training school for our ar
my there will be a good deal Of easily
explicable and justifiable dissent. Few
of us will like to think, as he did, that
the islands are worth keeping merely
because several millions Of their in
habitants are likely for good many
years to come to give an otherwise
peaceful nation chance constantly
to practice on them the art Of man
killing and by encountering the dan
gers and hardships Of real war, make
them ever ready for fighting against
other enemies.
That some of the wilder Fflipinos
will need lot Of subduing before they
arrive at appreciation Of civilization
and settled government is probable
enough, but it hardly follows that the
performance Of this task would be the
best or even a good preparation for
possible encounters with foes not saw
age, waging war in wholly different
ways. OF course, the experience would
be Of some value, but those Of our SOL
diers who were killed, wounded or
worn out by tropic campaigns would
not be of much use thereafter or else
where, and the idea that one gets
ready for enduring hardship by en-
during it, has now been abandoned by
all except the oldest Of military ex-
perts. That was the notion which led
to the campaign Of our troops on the
sands Of Tampa for months before
they were sent to Cuba, an experiment
not likely to be tried again.
A more convincing or at least a
more plausible argument for our re-
tention Of the Philippines is that Of
those, who while hoping that little
more fighting will be necessary there
and believing that 1t won't be If the
civilizing agencies already at work
can be continued, take q long look
ahead and see a time coming when
the nations in the temperate zones
will be more dependent for food than
now on the fertility Of well-watered
tropic soil The weight Of this argu-
ment is not great for the present gen.
Grafton, and will not be much greater
for several Of it's successors, but
we'll, there is no doubt that the earth
is cooling off; that aridity is slowly
spreading through the temperate re-
gions and that humanity will have to
make it's last stand in the tropics. The
races that have a firmly established
foothold there then will not be the last
to succumb to the inevitable.-New
York Times.

a candidate for governor on the DEM

only slight hopes of winning his fight
but he hopes 70 keep certain parties

Jennings made spectacular cam
paign for prosecuting attorney, using
posters for himself in prison stripes,
moving pictures and oratory to win his
hearers. In every speech he told OF
his crimes and then concluded with
the remark: II have told you OF all OF
my crimes. Now let my opponents tell
of theirs" The election was close and
Jennings lost by few hundred votes.
He asserts he was counted OUT by a
gang Of fearful politicians.
Jennings spares no details in telling
the history of his life. He was law
yer by profession, the son OF a judge
in Arizona when political feud made
him an outlaw. He engaged in many
gun fights with the authorities, partici-
pated in many robberies, was finally
captured after being wounded and sent
to the penitentiary in Ohio. There 1t
It is said, he met Mark Hanna, then at
the height of his power, won the mas
politicians friendship. and finally
obtained his pardon from prison.
Jennings had been a lawyer before
he became an outlaw and returned to
Oklahoma to win his way back to rec
ognition as a citizen Of the United
States. Through Jack Abernethy, a
friend Of President Roosevelt, he was
restored to citizenship.
A little while after he got his papers
Jennings began his fight against the
political gang in Oklahoma. In the
hope of re-instating himself in the
eyes of the people he ran for prosecut-
ing attorney on the reform ticket
