One of the signs of improved CON-
ditions in this immediate section is
the increasing evidence that cheap
ness is no longer the main argument
in the selling OF merchandise. Our
people no longer want the cheapest
article; they are much more interest
ed in getting the best article, surely
the best for the money. That is the
most hopeful feature in the present
situation and It is the only thing that
will operate more than any other to
keep money at home, rather than
have 1t sent to mail order house in
a great city. The best of all manu-
factured goods, the best in every line,
is that article which is most generally
advertised.

Ohio.
(Tune, America. Words by Eliza
beth Yockey.)
Ohio, 'tis Of thee,
State of nativity,
We fondly sing.
Land where our loved have died,
Land of our youthful pride,
AS on lifes path we glide.
The joy-bells ring.
Our native country, thee,
Always so fair and free,
Mem'ries we love.
So pure each man and maid,
With truth that neer can fade,
There presidents are made
Hist'ry can prove.
Sweet music swells the breeze,
Waited from brooks and trees,
And g lden grain.
Wonders each seed we SOW!
With rains and sun a-glow,
""Taters to back-logs grow"
In thy domain.
Great God, to Thee we raise
Our thoughts in gladsome praise,
For there's no dearth.
We love to hear the name,
Naught's in your borders tame,
From you come wealth and fame
Land of our birth.

'This was suggested by story told
by a reverend" gentleman from
Ohio, on Ohio day, 1911, that while
one end of an Ohio-grown potato was
in the fireplace roasting, his grand
father 1--WE believe it was) sat on the
other end of the tuber A judge in
the audience (also an Ohioan) said
that he could go him one better:
While one end of the spud was roast
ing in the fireplace a man sat on the
middle of it, while the swine feasted
off the other end OF the same potato.
We do not vouch for the truth of
these tales, however.

CONGRESS, TODAY AND YESTER
DAY.

LeslieS Weekly is very humor-
Gus publication. 1t is not the sort
of humor that is made to order. Les
lies is funniest when its editor wish
es to be most serious. Week after
week and year after year Leslie's
bemoans the present tendencies and
sighs for the good old days of the
past when every corporation could
do as it pleased and no sin was criti-
cised if committed in the name of big
business.
Last week Leslie's magazine con-
cluded its leading editorial with the
following:
The great nation has been drift
ing, not because it has lost its rud-
der, but because it has put too many
incompetent and inexperienced men
in congress. They fill places former
thoughtful business men. Now poll
ticians, spellbinders and demagogues
of the cheapest variety are in COM
mand and the peoplep must foot the
bill. Let them charge it up against
their own folly in permitting public
office to be no longer public trust,
but private snap"
There are a great many people in
the world who have either never read
history or have forgotten what they
have read who believe and say that
the world today is not as good as in
the olden days. These same people
are apt to pick out some one or two
great statesmen of the past and then
pine because all of the members of
congress today are not the equal of
Calhoun and Haynes and Clay and
Webster.
But even these great statesmen
who formed the smallest possible mi
nority in congress in their day were
guilty of many things for which a
congressman of the present would be
impeached. Daniel Webster boasted
that he was paid a larger salary to
lobby in congress for the wool trust
that the people paid him as a member
of congress. In the day of Webster,
Calhoun and Clay, and even in the
day of Mckinley, Aldrich, Hanna and
Quay, the chief job of each of these
leaders in congress seems to have
been to protect some special interest.
Hanna and Quay were the overlords
in the steel business, Plat was the
special agent of the express compa-
nies, Mckinley was the guardian an
gel of the tin industry and Depew
and Sherman and ingalls, looked after
the interests of the railroad compa-
nies. Yet for all this Leslie's whines
that "public office is no longer a
public trust but private snap" No
one can carefully read the history of
the American congress and not be
thoroughly convinced that congress
of today Is the best congress we have
had for a hundred years; that the
house and senate of today are made
mp more largely Of men responsive to
public sentiment and earnestly en-
deavoring to legislate in behalf of the
public welfare than ever before.

The more the interstate commerce
commission works into the wreck of
the New Haven railway the truer
seems the statement made by the
Springfield, Mass, Republican, that
the wrecking firm was Morgan &

tunely, in fact the record OF many a
hero has hung on the tide of his de-
parture from life. 1t begins to look
az II Morgan ought to have died
about ten years before he did IL he
had any regard for his reputation.

TALE OF A TUB

Now that the A c mediation conference has shut up shop let us consider Gen Villas bath tub It is not a paramount issue or key to the Mexican crisis a subject of diplomatic negotiation, and therefore may have elements of genuine human interest
 The tub was shipped the other day from Chicago to Jaarez be forwarded the revolutionary general wherever he may be- Presumably it will follow him hereafter in his victorious campaigns ugged from camp to camp and filled regularly by dutifu orderlies that their chief may wash off the stains of battle
 'I want the best bath tub that money buy" said Villa. when he gave the order at Fl Paso Accord ngly the tub will set back the Constitutonalist treas ury the of s4oO plus s125 for shipping charges It is said to be of the finest porcelain.
 Villa has a genius for doing the unexpected. Alex ander ordered the wines of Asia and atred him self in costly India silks. Villa drinks milk, wears soied khaki and demands the best bath tub.
 It isn't likely that there were any bath tubs porce lain or otherwise in the hills that Villa frequented in his bandit days or in the deserts which he led his maraudng band His action shows how man may evolve. With fame and responsibility comes recogni ton of the merits of plumbing and abutons His $4OC bath tub is symbol of Mexico in process of being civ iized
 Villa is fighting and scrubbng himself into secure niche of fame He may yet install that tub u the pal ace of Chapultepec.

wARREN DIsTRIcr THRIFT

To study of the which contributory to the prosperity of the Warren District much importance be to action the children of the Dis trict who are engaged in campaign of saving This action especially noteworthy at a time when the high of living demands the practice of economy. carries with it forecast of continual good times the community. The children today are the citizens of tomorrow. With citizenship trained in the practice thrift the Warren District is building upon foun- dation of prosperity that is bound to endure.
 The total amount saved by the children within the past ten months is nearly three thousand dollars. When stops to consider that this money ac- cumulaed largely in nickles dimes and quarters the total contains of practical tbrf sacrifice which the figures do not adequately express Parents school authorities and local institutions which have planted this of saving have wisely prepared for harvest that cannot fall They doubtless will con tinue their good offices by ncucang idea accessory to that of merely saving
 'We are apt to get the notion that thrift is merely the saving of money and judge a mans thrift by the number frequency his visits the savings banks forgetting that just as proved by the way a dollar is spent as by the number of dollars earned Spending is perhaps finer art than earning for all can elru but few spend wisely.

AIR FLIGHT ACROSS
 ATLANTIC POSSIBLE
 IN 13 HOURS, HE SAYS
Or. Bell, Famous Inventor, Dis CuSSeS Trip From America
 to Europe in a Day.

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 8.-The possibility of a transatlantic Ocean flight in a heavier-than-air machine in 13 hours is pointed out in a communi- cation to the National Geographic So- ciety at Washington, D. G. from Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone and former President of the Society.
 The distance from Newfoundland to Ireland is less than 2.O00 miles" says Dr. Bell This means that if you go at 100 miles an hour you will cross the Atlantic in 20 hours less than a day. We have flying machines that go at a greater speed than that. We already have machines that could cross the ocean if their engines can keep going for 20 hours. Of course these are exceptional machines; but even the ordinary machines of today make 50 miles an hour with ease
 Now. a flying machine flies faster as you go higher up, because the rarer air offers less resistance to the mo ton. while the propeller gives Che same push with the same power what ever the elevation As you get into the rarer air the propeller spins around faster A 50-mile an-hour machine flying two miles high in the air-and we have machines that have gon' twice as high as that-will fly mucl faster than 50 miles an hour. Ther at an elevation of two miles high ir the air there is a constant wind blow ing in the general direction of Eur ope having a velocity anywhere iron 25 to 90 miles an hour
 "As a net result of all these things there can be little doubt that any or dlnary machine that is able to sup 2 port itself in the air at an elevation of two miles high will attain a spee' of at least 100 miles an hour in th direction of Europe. and that mean going from America to Europe fin
 single day Calculation shows that taking al lthese circumstances int consideration, our best machine s should be able to cross the Atlanu in 18 hours l hardly dare say 1t alou' 1t is sufficiently startling to kno' that it is not only possible, but prot able, that the passage may be mad in a single day But if as l imagine can be done in l3 hours, you may talk an early breakfast in Newfoundlan I- and a late dinner in Ireland the sam night"

The prospect of having to vote On a national pro hibiiion amendment continues to worry congressman It is possible that the amendment will be reported out of committee in a week or two and debated the floor of the house. Such a development would be the highNater mark of anHsaoon achievement even if the measure failed of the necessary two-thrds majority.

 It is this fact that gives the members most worry. Northern democrats particularly much divided on prohibition, and will have many other matters to oc cupy their attention during the campaign They do want to fight either with the AntiSaloon the liquor interests If the amendment goes before the House another element of interest will be added to fall campaign that already promises be unusually i'm portant

TJON FINDING LIME INSTEAD OF DIORITE
 IN DRIFT TO IRON
Theory Had Been Otherwise; lm-
 proves Outlook for the Extent
 of Ore Bearing Area; Lime Is Carrying Sulphides.

L. l. TT. Thiers, superintendent of mining with the Tijon Mining Com pany. has been in the city this week in connection with business of his company. He has divided his time between here and Douglas, where the smelters have shipments of ore in which he is interested with reference to manner of treatment and results obtained from different processes.
 Mir. Thiers states that development work and prospecting being prescott ed on the Tijon properties is showing some results wlich are very pleasing to the management and promise well for the future Among other things, they are finding that their lime is carrying toward the iron blowout area of their property and that sulphides are persisting in this lime. The work is being conducted through a drift and is considered to be yielding re- suits of much value, not only in the ore which is being determined as present but also in the line that is being given on, formation.
 It has been contended in the past | by some prominent engineers who
 have looked the Tijon property over,
 that toward the iron the lime would l disappear and be replaced by barren l dierite. The impression had become pretty we'll fixed that this theory would be found correct The recent
 findings. however, put matters in a
 much different light. At the same
 time the possible ore bearing area
