The General says:

The General says: My output of Certain- feed
 Roofing has grown to such enor-
 nous proportions that l am hav-
 ing difficulty in getting enough
 rags of good grade to supply this

I will pay the best market price for roofing rags anywhere in any quantity. If they can be shipped in carload quantities and in as- sorted grades, we can have them shipped direct to any of our big 1. mills, but if in smaller quantities or unassored, we will arrange with one of our packers or as- sorters near you, to buy your rags : and prepare them for our use Tn the different grades.

REAL CLEVER way, THIS, TO
GET RID OF NOxIOuS JUDGE

duties as a Judge, is problem
solved in a unique way by con-
gress in the case of Judge Emory
Speer of Georgia.
Continue his salary and APP
point another judge to do his
work. That is the answer.
The case of Judge Speer has
occupied congressional attention
for nearly a year. A committee
Investigated and found that the
Judge was guilty of practically
everything charged against him
and the charges were numerous
and serious, but the committee
reported against impeachment
proceedings. This conclusion
was all very we'll, except for the
fact that 1t left a judge on the
bench before whom litigants
were unwilling to appear and
caused a hopeless tie-up in judi
eial proceedings in Speer's dis
trict.
To meet this difficulty, the
committee which tried him rec
commended to the house that an
other Judge be sent to do Speer's
work. A second judicial district
would thus be created to exist
as long as Speer may live and to
terminate when he dies. This
solution was advocated by Rep
resentative Edwards of Georgia
and defended by other members
of the house, and finally IA bill to
carry it out was passed by a vote
of 113 to 70.

POSTMASTER "sHORT" A
CENT-HAD TO PAY UP

Seaford. Del. July 25.--Luther
II. Clifton, former postmaster at
Blades. Del. near here, was threat
ened with prosecution by the Post
Office Department in Washington to-
day because of shortage of one
cent In his accounts. He paid the
amount and escaped trouble.
Clifton had been postmaster sew
cnteen years. Last November he
was succeeded by Caleb r. Cannon.
When the Office was transferred the
accounts were examined. II was
impossible to learn the amount of
cancellations.
1t is on this that the postmaster 5
salary is based. Finally the report
of the expert accountant showed
the Government owed the retiring
official one cent. To-day notice was
received that he owed one cent in
stead. Clifton paid the money to
his successor and took his receipt.

THE PITY OF THE FATE
OF CALAMITY HOWLERS

Business can create psychological
conditions to suit itself or to brow
beat an administration it would ruin
il it cannot rule. 1t cannot control
material conditions to suit any such
purpose.
If there has been conspiracy to
this effect. the big crops are blowing
il up and the railroads are hiring
back the men they were recently
discharging wholesale. The calam-
ity howlers are being swept off their
feet. The standpatters are running
about with the cry of what can be
done to save their exclusive con-
tract with Providence through high
tariff in the production of prospect
ty. And lastly. the Colonel Is seen
hunting around for that grave In
dustrial depression and suffering"
which he left the Outlook to save
the country from.
1t is a great pity, in the midst OF
these glowing promises for the in
dustry of the many, TO have to re-
cord the havoc wrought to the elect
and those who battle for the Lord.
But facts are facts New York

ENCOUNTER PANTHER ON
A WARREN COUNTY FARM
Three Brothers Hunt Animal,
and One OF Them Has a
Narrow Escape.

Bowling Green, KY, July "a
Their desire to hunt real panther"
almost led Neale Comfort. aged
twenty: Caywood Smith, aged twen-
ty-one, and his brother. Jouett
Smith, aged sixteen years, into Sc
rious trouble last night when the
trio Unexpectedly came upon a big,
wild panther on the farm of ALDER
Sears, half a mile from Green Hill,
But for the timely arrival of the
younger brother, Caywood Smith
might have Jared badly.
Several nights ago Mr.. Sears re-
ported that mule belonging to him
had been attacked in the field by a
supposed panther. The animal was
badly lacerated when found. Last
night the three young men decided
that they would hunt the panther.
1t was while the elder Smith was
climbing over fence he spied the
panther in the underbrush. Firing
from his position on the fence. the
recoil of the gun threw the man di-
rectly opposite the animal Instant
ly it leaped toward him. The young
er Smith rushed to the fence and
fired at the panther. BY this time
the elder Smith had recovered his
feet and again shot at the approach
ing animal. The trio were too
frightened to give further chase and
returned to their homes.
For several nights the neighbor-
hood of Green Hill has been dis
turbed by the hideous and shrill
screaming of the animal. 1t is
thought the panther has its lair in
the swamps that abound in that
neighborhood For some time farm
ers have been finding dead sheep in
the fields and have heretofore at
tributed their death to dogs. 1t is
now thought that the panther has
been doing the work. Ii is propos-
ed to have big panther hunt short
