Made in America Magazines"
We in America have boasted OF our
inventive and industrial achievements
and supremacy for years.
We have conclusively convinced
ourselves and our next-door neighDors,
our hometown friends, of these facts
and Dragged OF our business acumen
and abilities. but II has taken the
war In Europe and the consequent
cessation OF industry In the large
countries TO bring us TO realization
that we have neglected one OF the
simplest methods of international ad-
vertising that we could have EN-
braced.
But the awakening has at last been
accomplished. and happily with the
awakening comes an energetic and
emphatic desire. not alone to take
advantage OF similar method or adj
vertising ourselves as producers. but
TO make up for the time we have lost
and also TO grasp and embrace 70 the
full the multitude OF trade opportuni-
ties that the war in Europe now pre-
sents TO us.
MADE in the u. S. a." now be-
comes a slogan, or a motto, as APP
propriate as our e Pluribus Unum"
or the "ln God We Trust" OF our sill
yer dollars.
Leading newspapers and trade pub
locations are enthusiastically exploit
ing it: many prominent manufacture
ers have already banded themselves
In an organization-the Made in the
u. S. A. Products association-an are
contributing liberal amounts Of
money, not for individual advance
ment or benefit. but for the sole pur-
pose OF advertising and establishing
the slogan Of Made in the u. s. A"
itself.
Mayor Mitchell, OF rev York city,
lends his official support TO Made

now being organized TO show In his
city the best o: our manufactures and
particularly those that can and should
be purchased by our trade buyers and
public consumers instead OF products
In similar lines they now acquire
from foreign markets.

there'd have been any greater GER
tainty OF happiness ever afterward?
Marriage, anyhow. Is a series OF sd.
justments. Unless II develops q spirit
OF give and take. of mutual sacrifice
and forbearance, as In the case OF
Dick and Margie in The Confessions
OF Wife" it's bound to end In a
smash-up, no matter how long the
courtship.
There was happiness In marriage
even In cave days, when wooing was
done with q club.
It's not the before" but the after

He was In love with the ste

worked, and he decided that he
would propose.
So he boarded a street car one
night and started for her house.
The car was crowded. IL was

He came to the conclusion that

was because he was too fat, so

He cut out breakfast, ate a

he had taken off pound and a

To the Editor of The Times:
have no sympathy with the SEN

In regard to the actions and profes-
sions OF national characters like
Speaker Clark. You do right in turn
ing on the light. Make the contrast
as strong as possible between men
like Clark and Hobson The suppress
sion OF the truth In regard to the
damnable effects OF the licensed liquor
business is the one thing the "busi-

the truth for the good OF the public.
When Champ Clark makes confes-

The liquor fight is on and the kid

disgusting to earnest people. Go

GOOD MANS ONLY EXCUSE
Simply It 10 ThIs: "i Have Oons My Best and Accomplished
 Nothing"

The deeds of good men are like can dies blown out with one blast; and he Is only good who gives all he can It Is not enough to give a little. he must give himself: like a bird singing in springtime. offering It's whole body to the sun. The good man knows that to plead the old excuse, T have done nothing" is to plead guilty to a crime. "I have done my best and accom- plished nothing" That he may and must say; and that man can show a better record upon earth than he who has done much; for the world loves a villain and despises the victims Alex ander and Napoleon live forever, but who thinks of those they slaughtered? ?
 The philosophy of men and deeds may be summed up in one sentence: They whom the world can understand are great. they whom the world can. not understand are rogues until they die. Tho maid of Domremy was a witch while she lived. Socrates was a corrupter of morals. Christ was a brawler in the temple and all were murdered. The shedding of blood Is the one act that the world does un- derstand. therefore the title Great is given to those who have shed the most. But the good men, the So- crates who sheds light upon human folly, the little father of the birds and flowers, the chaplain of a lazar- island. who gives the title Great to these: They cannot live until they are dead not until their bones have perished are they loved and then with the wondering kindness of pity, of in- difference,-From Granite" by John Trevcna

CALLS FOR PITY FOR RICH
Condition of Poor Millionaire Who Doesn't Know What to Do With
 Ills Money.

My dear, ignorant friend" said . western millionaire to a humble New York hack writer, according to the New York Sun, you don't know what you are talking about when you say you wish you had the money I have, or a similar amount
 Its you that has the advantage over me by long odds. You can go anywhere you please at any time you please. and If you need money, and you never need a great deal, all you have to do is to take out your pad and pencil, dash off something read able, and your income follows at short notice.
 But look at me. I had business out West that was asked to go into a trust and the request was in the nature of command which meant trust or bust, and l went into the trust. Now I have a million and . raw cash, and what in thunder am I to do with it? The stock is all right, but what about the cash?
 Can you tell me where I can put that much money where it will be safe and bring me in fair return? I've got to have the return, sure, for my living expenses are over $5O,OOO a year, and $10,000 year on the side is all have to meet them with. The stock ought to pay dividend, and it very likely will but I don't know that, and I do know what my ex- penses are. So what am I to do with that idle million?
 Its been idle for week now, and at per cent that means very nearly $1,0O0. Add my expenses of $1,00O a week, and am dropping $1O0,0OO a year. Is there anything about hack writing as disagreeable as that? Do you think you would be any happier. or more free from care, if you had my money? Maybe you would. but I can't see 1t from my viewpoint"

Extraordinary Reproductjon,

The fiat worm about half an inch long called Planaria velata, 1t has been discovered. reproduces itself in a most extraordinary manner. When 1t grows old It's loses it's appetite, its colors fade and it's movements be- come slow. It drops a tiny fragment of it's tail. then another. still another and so on, until 1t has left about halt of its body in scattered pieces. Each detached piece curls up. secretes a mucus that soon dries and forms a hard shell. In this condition the fragments remain throughout the summer, fall and winter In the spring the shells burst and liberate many minute worms, which eat voraciously and soon grow to adult size.

BARBER 10 BUTCHER
 IN QUARTER CENTURY

Growing weary of welding the father brush and manipulating the clippers, L. M. Bunker, for 26 years tonsorial artist, has resigned his position at the barber shop of Philip Yaeger and purchased an interest in the Central meat market, on East Oak street, forming partnership with his brother-in-law, A. M. Hafer. Although it required qaurter century for the promotion from bar Der to butcher, MT. Bunker states that never again will he engage in his former vocation. When interviewed by reporter for the Log Cabin Dem- ocrat today, MT. Bunker was slicing a quarter of beef with the same celerity that he used in the barber business. "The only different between the two jobs,' said the former bar Der, lis that it takes little more el- bow grease to be butcher than it does to be a barber"
