REJECTED
We're The Bids For ChiIdren'S
Home Building
As They We're Higher Than
Architects Estimate

The county commissioners opened
bids at one o'clock Tuesday afternoon
for the children's home building
There were two bids presented, one
by w. II. Ralston and one by William
Denman, both Mt. Vernon contractors.
The contract for the building was
not let as the bids were higher than
the architects estimate.
The estimate of the architect was
$21, ,SS67.37. The bid of Mr.. Ralston
was $2S,765 and the bid of Mr.. Den
man was $32,637.59. The bid of Mr..
Ralston was the lowest, but was &c.
S9S higher than the architects esti-
mate, consequently the bids were re-
jected and the commissioners will re-
advertise for bids.

ernment." added Lord Kitchener, I'VE
shall take away the license to publish
of that newspaper"
Perhaps it was because of this com.
plete failure OF news sources-for the
public was quick to detect that the
other side of the situation was not be-
ing made known-that explained the
attitude of the London public during
that period In which war and slaughter
were incubating. Only one thing was
known. and that but vaguely. That
was that every day regiments left
for somewhere. There were days in
which one could not stand upon a
corner i'm London that one did not hear
up some street or down some twisted
thoroughfare the strains of martial
music. By and by If one waited long
enough, one would see the streams of
little, brown clad men shutting along
awkwardly enough in i'll fitting boots
and clumsy uniforms, going somewhere.
There were never any cheers. The
London crowds stood stolidly upon the
curbs and watched them out of sight.
BILE No one knew what had happened.
All Englishmen-speaking generally
spend the best part OF their lives out
of doors. Six days week they may
work in a shop. The seventh they will
be where the sun and rain can get
chance at them. Add another penny
to his income tax and the Englishman
will only growl; interfere with his rec
reation and he will talk Of sacred
rights and revolution. The upper
classes have their golf courses and
their tennis grounds and their cricket
ovals. The workaday Englishman goes
to the races on bank holidays What
has happened?
Many OF the athletic fields have
been taken over by the government
for camp grounds and drills and hos
pitals. This includes some of the real
~ historic fields in the United King
dom. There will be mighty little
cricket in England this fall. In some
parts OF the kingdom football will
practically be abandoned until happier
| times.

OBITUARY

Again Gods Death Angel has Wis
tied our community, claiming for His
own one of our most highly respected
and widely known citizens.
Alexander Newton, born October s,
1850, died August 8, 1914, after an i'll
ness of almost year, during which
time he suffered constantly, but bear
ing up under it very bravely, being
confined to his bed only five weeks.
His endurance was due to the en-
courageing words and deeds of his
faithful wife, who administered so
kindly to his every want during his
sickness.
His whole life was spent in the vi
cinity of Howard. He was united in
marriage February 16, 1872, to Miss
Mary McGinnis, a very popular young
lady of Howard. To this union were
born seven children, William e., Wal
ter, Mrs. Netty Purdy, Mrs. Lottie
Loney of Howard, James of Cleveland
and Mrs. Bessie Bartlett of Mt. Yer
non all of whom survive; Alexander,
Jr having been summoned by His
Master at the early age of five years.
Here again we are reminded so
vividly of those beautiful lines OF our
famous poet:-
There is Reaper whose name is
Death,
And with His sickle keen,
He reaps the ripened grain at a
breath
And the flowers that go between.
Mr.. Newton resided on farm
near the village; he devoted part of
his time to his trade, that of painter
and carpenter.
He, at an early age, united with the
Disciple faith in which he was firm
believer and devoted member.
His life was his testimony. A kind
loving father of sterling character,
and a devoted husband. OF him we
can truly say 'in dealing with his fel
low-men he bore charity to all and
malice toward none," having died
without an enemy
While he has left saddened home
and we deeply mourn his loss, we
have the blessed assurance that he is
awaiting us, in the home our Master
is preparing for us.

rs.,inu HAT Of ovsn.

Of baking unless the oven is exactly
right. II 1t is u little too hot or too
cold all the cakes and pies will be spoil
ed. One can always test the heat by
putting piece OF white paper on the
oven shelf that is to be used and leav-
ing 1t there for two minutes. If the
paper comes out still white or very
slightly brown at the edges then the
oven is cool. If the paper comes out
good deal Drowned, but not burned at
all, then the oven is moderate. If the
paper comes out brown all over and
blackened at the edges the oven is hot
II the paper burns all to cinder then
the oven Is much too hot for any use.

Household Hints.

Cheese may be kept moist for some
time If the cut surfaces are rubbed
over with butter and then the cheese
is wrapped in paraflin paper and kept
In cool, dry, dark place.
Salt Goldfish or other fish is best
wrapped in parafiin paper and then put
in box with an air tight cover.
If ones black gloves become little
rusty touch up the spots with few
drops Of ink mixed well with a few
drops of olive oil.
DO not complain II the tea or coffee
loses Its strength unless 1t Is kept In
tightly covered tins or jars.
The cup of tea or coffee will be in
finltely better If the teapot or coffee
pot is scalded out just before being
used.

BLUFFING IN A. DUEL.
"LRbby" Put Up Brave Front. Though
He Was Badly Scared.

"ERbby fue Up Brave 'FRONT.', tnou9h
He Was Badly Scared.
During his early diplomatic career
while he was attached to the embassy
In Stockholm Henry Labouchere fought
a duel.
There was a want of logic about
the entire proceeding that went to my
heart" he confessed later. ITO be kill
ed is bad enough, but to be killed para
doxically is worse. l never felt more
dismal In my life"
Paradoxicai the combat certainly
was. since Labouchere had been the
challenger, his ground Of offense being
that his antagonist, an Austrian officer.
had presumed to criticize the British
minister for having given social coun-
tenance to fellow Briton who, disap-
proving of duels. had recently declined
a challenge from conscientious scru-
pies. The young diplomat, asserting
with spirit that his chief had behaved
properly and that Englishmen were not
so silly as to fight duels, had left the
rest to his seconds-and found himself
pledged to fight the next morning with
pistols at o'clock. He had hoped for
an apology, and admits he was dismay-
ed; but he did not allow his feelings to
be OWNED, and duly made his appear
ance upon the field Of honor.
1.-THE Austrian stood apart; l stood
apart. The surgeon already eyed me
as subject The seconds consulted;
then the Frenchman stepped out
twelve PAGES. He had very short legs,
and they seemed to be shorter than
ever. After this came the loading OF
the pistols. Sometimes. I thought, sec
onds do not put in the bullels That
comforted me. but only for moment.
for the bullets were rammed down
with cheerful energy. BY this time we
had been placed facing each other. A
pistol was given to each of us. I am
to give the signal said the Prus-
sian. I shall count one. two. three,
and then at the word fire you will both
fire. Gentlemen, are you ready? We
both nodded. One, two, three. firer
and both our pistols went off. No harm
had been done"
| He thought 1t was all over, when his
| opponent stepping up, remarked tnat
he supposed he ought to allow him q
second shot, but. should nothing come
of 1t, he would not consent to third.
Reluctantly on the part Of both partici-
pants a second shot was fired. and they
both missed-if indeed either had aim
ed-again. Then Labouchere boldly de-
manded third shot

grant my request. and | was greatly
relieved when they informed me they

sufficient. was delighted. but pre-

cical; but the fun depended upon the
leading actors being both very bad

London.-The censorship of war news
Is the most complete and rigid and all
embracing censorship that was ever
enforced since censorship was invent
ed. Nothing whatever was given out
that which favored the British side. 1t
was obvious that the Germans were
moving remorselessly on, even If they
were not moving much faster than a
glacier. But the newspapers were
only allowed to print news of more or
less doubtful Belgian victories. They
grew restive under it, but that was all
the good 1t did them.
Lord Kitchener Is in command.

er. There are times when Kitchener
wants something published. Most times
he wants nothing whatever printed
On this occasion he called the London
newspaper men together. He said he
wanted to confer with them. The
newspaper men decided-before they
met Kitchener-to offer not to publish
anything which might anticipate any
movement of the troops or in any 9TH
