THE DEAD BEAT
Is the Great Part of the High Cost of
Living.

You can figure the tariff and you
can figure the trust and you can fig
ure the combination--but you don't get
the right thing on the cost of high
living unless you take in the dead beat
and t e delivery system.
You go to your grocer and look over
his books and you will see that from
ten to twenty per cent is loss on the
dead beat who never pays bill. He
gets away with the goods somehow.
The Merchants association has him
marked; the grocer knows re never
pays-but somehow he finally gets on
the books and before he is refused fur
ther credit he owes anywhere from
ten to a hundred dollars. He is going
to pay next week. He has all the de-
luxe hard luck stories ever dreamed
of by mortal man. He Las had sick
ness. He is just going to get a job;
he is going to pay the first of the
month and wants little further &C
commodation and the merchant gives
up-and it means the man who pays
cash also pays for the dead beat-or,
the nero ant goes out of business.
The dead beat means ten per cent or
more on your grocer's bill. 1t means
sometimes more than that.
And then comes the delivery bust
ness. The grocer must keep two or
three delivery wagons. 1t is either
horse feed or gasoline and a driver.
And Mrs. Whatsername rushes to tie
phone and wants a box of matches
sent right out-and the fve-cent box
of matches is delivered and it costs
twenty-five cents to deliver it-but
Whatsername is a good customer and
it wouldn't do to turn her down. Then
there is grand rush about ten in tie
morning and extra delivery clerks are
called in-and then there is grand
rush the rest of the day-but the ex-
pense goes on. The merchant must
charge this to some account. He must
make profit enough on the goods to
pay this terrible toll, and you can safe
ly figure that the dead beat and the
delivery system costs you $25 on every
S1O0 worth of goods you consume
and if that isn't pretty toll what is?
But these figures can be verified. Often
the merchant doesn't know it. Hardly
ever makes more than living and
sometimes he doesn't make tAat in the
grocery business. He has another ten
per cent loss on green goods and
fruits and things like that-and by
the time the ultimate consumer gets
his food he has paid the high prices
which modern civilization and modern
deadbeatism demand.

"HELL IN CHURCH"
Editor Shells the Woods and Listens
For a Yelp.

Not more than thousand miles
from Fountain Inn there is church
on which the devil has an overdue
mortgage. The majority of the mem
bers are headed straight for hell, if
there is any truth in Scripture. and
God l.asnt been inside the building
for so long He wouldn't recognize the
place now if He went back.
Regular services are held.
Half the women members attend in
order to show off new hats and new
clothes, and the other half attend in
the hope of hearing some new scandal.
Nearly all tie men members hate
one another, and few if any of them
are above retelling the nastylscandals
brewed by the women.
When the preacher criticises certain
evils, each member thinks the criticism
is directed at some other member. No
word spoken from the pulpit lodges in
-uman heart, for no one listens to
the sermons.
The hearts of the members are
turned to evil, and their minds are
sewers for the reception of filth. The
men lave no thought of care except
the making of money and tie hope of
doing something to spite some brother
member; and many of the women have
lost the power to think Of anything
that is not lascivious and filthy.
Not many of the men can tell the
trut>, and the women lie by prefer
ence.
The aim and hope, the desire and
longing of their lives is to do some
thing to hurt somebody else, and they
neither know nor care anything about
God.
There hasn't been conversion in
the church for a month OF sundays,
and there won't be another any time
soon-not while the devil owns the
premises.
If young man or young woman
should come to me and ask how to
find God, 1 would say: go to that
church. Then turn your back to it,
start away, and keep going in a
straight line. The further away you
get, the better your chances are"
speak forth the words of truth
and soberness when I say that God
will never again enter that church un-
til the women stop slandering one
another and the men stop hating one
another.
It isn't church anyway. It's a
cess pool, owned by the devil and
flied with his garbage.

A GLOWING TRIBUTE
Why Grateful Lad Would Like to
Resemble His Father.

In the American Magazine boy
make splendid tribute to his father,
part of which follows:
Because my moUcer knew that from
the day he first met her until she died,
or for all the days in fifty years, she
was the woman he loved. should like
the woman 1 marry to know the same
thing of me, all our lives long.
Because he was gentle. Because he
loved all flowers, IN cool woods and in
sunny fields and by dusty roadsides,
and brought them home, gathered into
clumsy bouquets 80 Mother if she
could not go herself to see them in the
places where they held up t-eir shy
faces. Because he loved all children
and let them climb over his shoulders
and pull his hair.
Because his eyes twinkled and his
face was jolly. Because he smiled at
us children even in days when ne was
iding black despoir in his heart.
Because, although his work kept
MIN away from home for so many
weeks at a time, i.e wrote Jolly letters
every day to Mother and US, making
jokes out of icy winds and beds COW
cred with snow that had drifted in
through farmhouse windows and Of all
hardships.
Because he was deep-chested and
strong, and because mis- strength came
from work in the fields in such days as
he could find no work in his own pro-
fession. Because he thought no work
of his hands beneath him if it brought
us food and SHELTER
Because ne talked to farmers and
carpenters and to learned men and to
diggers of bitches and to little girls
and boys and to presidents alike, and
all loved him.
Because he wore his overcoats for
ten years and his shoes for two years
and called his coats as good as new,
with q little fixing of the lining"
Because he thought no sacrifice OF
any Importance if by it we were made
to love more truly whatever is good
and beautiful and true in life.
Because ne used to put his arm
around Mother and tease her until her
eyes twinkled and she said, Go away,
Boy'
Because everybody missed him
when he went away Somewhere Else
and will always remember him.
ssThat is why should like to be such
nan as ne was.

GERMAN GOVERNMENT
WOULD AVOID CLASH
Apparently Wilhelmstrasse is Awak-
ening to Gravity of Relations
With America,

Berlin, Aug. 25 (via London, Aug.
26).-If the commander of German
submarine exceeded his instructions in
sinking the steamer Arabic the Ger
man government will give full salts
faction to the United States, Ocancel-
lor Won Bethmann-HollWeg informed
the Associated Press correspondent in
an interview this evening.
The imperial chancellor made the
following statement of Germany's po-
sition:
"As long as the circumstances sur
rounding the sinking of the Arabic
have not been fully cleared up it is
impossible for me to make a definite
statement. Thus far we do not even
know whether the sinking of the ship
was caused by mine or by a torpedo
fired from German submarine, nor
do We know in this latter case the
Arabic herself may not have by her
actions, perhaps, justified proceedings
of the commander Of the submarines.
"Only after all these circumstances
have been cleared up will it be posi-
tle to say whether tie commander of
one of our submarines went beyond his
Instructions, in which case the i'm
perial government would not hesitate
to give such complete satisfaction to
the United States as would conform to
the friendly relations existing between
both governments"

Berlin, Aug. 25 (via London) While
Il. e situation concerning the Arabic is
by no means clear, indications were
noticeable today of a belief that mod
crate amount Of optimism regarding
the case is wei justified and that a
way will be found out OF the entangle-
ment, even should it be established
that the steamer was torpedoed with
out warning-an assumption which the
German government as yet, in tie lack
of any official report on the subject,
has no reason to accept.
Officials and the public seem hardly
to have awakened to the nature OF the
situation, and between the divergent
views of Theodore Roosevelt and Will
liam J. Bryan, which they were given
today, find little enlightenment re-
garding the real state of American
public opinion. The foreign office,
however, is evidently fully aware OF
the delicate nature of the situation,
and is disposed to avoid crisis which
is farthest from its, desire.
The American ambassador, James
W. Gerard, called on Foreign Minister
Won Jagow last evening and asked for
information concerning the sinking OF
the steamship Arabic
Mr.. Gerard learned tat the gov
ernment had no official news what
ever on this subject.
Ambassador Gerard at 2 o'clock this
afternoon received request from
Foreign Minister won Jagow to call
upon him and left luncheon party
to respond to the invitation. The am
bassador conferred half hour with
the foreign minister. Ambassador
Gerard afterwards would say noting
regarding the conversation.
The only information which the
government has is that contained Ill
newspaper dispatches from abroad,
which throws little light on t e cir
camstances attending the destruction
II the steamer. 1t is not even clear
whether the disaster was due to q
torpedo or a mine, and whether, in
case the vessel was torpedoed, there
were special circumstances which i'm
PEELED the commander Of the subma-
rine to attack the Arabic.
Until official advices have been re-
ceived, definitely clearing up these
points, the foreign Office will hardly
be in a position to discuss the case
or make any declaration of policy con-
cerning the incident.
Officials of tie foreign office make
it very clear that they have no inten-
ton of flouting the United States, or
seeking to bring about situation such
as that dealt with alphabetically in the
last American note.

One physician was found who rec

SUIT IS FILED
FOR S10.500 NOTE

Suit for $1O,5Oo was filed today in
the Superior court by S. Jurika. Es-
telle S. Smith WAS named defendant.
According to the complaint, the ac-
tion is based upon a promissory note
for that amount issued November II,
when Jurika sold his ranch to Simth.
Later Smith sold the land for 100000
and gave the proceeds to Estclle
Smith, to be held and used in trust.
Then, the complaint recitcs, Estellc
Smith bought land alleged to bc worth
$4,000 Wherefore Jurika asks that
The land be sold by order of the court
to satisfy the claim, of which it Is
claimed neither principal nor interest

Governor Cantu Feels
Confident of Authority

mounted a number of rapid fire guns
on the deck of the pirate" steamer
Mazatlan, confscated last winter by
the Villa government This report,
however, has not been confirmed.
That the Carranzistas are looking
with longing eyes toward Ensenada
and MeXicali is probable. These two
towns are said to be productive of
large revenues in the form of taxes
imposed upon keepers of saloons and
gambling houses.
Governor Cantu said yesterday that
the entire northern district, as fan
south as Calmilli, is quiet. The citi-
zens, he said, are entirely contented
with the Villa regime. He predicted
that they would remain loyal in the
face of an attack by Carranza.

Cooling Dishes for
Hot Weather
Helpful Suggestions for the Summers
Bill of Fare.

During the hot summer months the
heavy heating foods and drinks so
general in the colder seasons should
be avoided. The careful housewife,
having the good health of her family
in mind, should make a special study
of the proper preparation of cooling
and nutritious foods and drinks at this
season of the year.
One of the most useful aids to the
housewife in this connection is that
delicious food product-Cornstarc Il
seems a pity that the women of the
country generally do not have bet
ter knowledge of the immense variety
of uses to which this product can be
put. Especially during the hot wealth
er when a great variety of ice creams,
frozen custards, frappes, etc, can be
easily and quickly prepared by its
use.
Undoubtedly many women have
been disappointed when using corn
starch as a result of utilizing an in
feriol quality. Those who have had
the hest success with cornstarch reci-
pes in all parts of the country invari-
ably use the well-known kingsford's
brand-which can be obtained at all
modern grocers. Order kingsfords
Cornstarch from your grocer today,
and ask for the little kingsford'S Cook
Book containing many valuable recipes
for warm weather delicacies.

CaleXico Chronicle: When ques-
toned yesterday by the Chronicle in
regard to the danger to Enscnada and
Mexical in case the former city is
attacked by the gunboat Guerrero,
which is reported to be steaming
northward with IA Carranza force on
board, Governor Cantu replied that
he was thoroughly prepared to repel
any and all attempts which might be
made by the opposing faction.
"Within "A hours can, if neces-
sary, concentrate my entire military
force in Ensenada,' the governor re-
piled. 81 am ready to cope with prac-
ticaliy any situation which might be
Velop. | do not, however, think thai
mobilization will be necessary. In
my opinion, Ensenada is now suffi-
eicntiy well protected by soldiers and
ammunition to repulse the enemy.
Regarding the safety of McXicali
d. not think there is much danger
of an attack and if an attack were
attempted it could not possibly sue
cecd. If called upon, | can summon
a force at arms of at least 5000 men.
In case Of an attack, practically every
civilian in this city would flock to
my standard"
Tic governor did not deny that an
attack on Ensenada is imminent
When pressed for an expression, he
replied that the Guerrero might o.
might not he en- route for
Enscnada, but that if it did appear
there and attempted hostlitics it
would meet with warm reception.
An unofficial report from San Die
go, received in this city yesterday,
stated the commander of the military
garrison at Ensenada, acting under
Colonel Cantu's orders, is making ac.
tive preparation to defend the city.
The commander is reported to have

INDIAN CORN MAY
BE FUTURE CROP

Indian corn may be possible fu-
turc crop in Imperial valley if the
experiments inaugurated by II. L.
Blair, superintendent of the United
States Department of Agriculture
School at Bard are successful. Mr.
Blair, accompanied by his assistant,
Mr. Ratliff, spent the greater part
of last week in the valley to form an
estimate of conditions and to select a
planting ground for several varieties
of corn.
a portion of the Ira Atcn ranch,
west Of this city. has been selected
for The experiment and there Mr.. Blalr
plans to plant at least dozen vari-
cites of Indian corn to determine
which variety will prove the most
practicable for general planting in the
valley.
1t has been generally supposed that
the heat here is too intense to permit
healthy growth of corn and the ex-
pertinent is being made with a mum
Der of varieties to establish whether
any particular kind of corn can b.
grown successfully in the valley.
Mr.. Blair plans to begin his cx-

FOUR LOST; NO, NOT
PERSONS-DUCKS

Attorney j. f. Seymour, SO Olive
street, had 8 ducks that were being
reared by hand and which were iust
attaining their young duckhood. Tha
aforesaid ducks were hardy specimens
and were thriving we'll.
Wherefore when Seymour went out
10 inspect the young duckHngs Sun
day he was nonplussed to find i of
them missing. And the very fact that
these fuzzy ducks had been raised 10
shun felincs bent on a purIoiniug cN-
petition and marauding CANNES only
served to deepen the mystery.
50 he sought about the yard expect
ing at least to find the manned re
mains of the missing haud-reared
ducks as a mute testimony to the visit
of some cat who had taken a meal
from the duck pen.
Instead he found the ducklings,
apparently intact-but-thcy were OF
the interior of Il sluggish blacksnake
which lay stretched languidly in the
sun, recovering from the effects of
a meal of which he had partakeu toe
heavily.
Four Jumps, similar to the humps
caused in the neck of an ostrich as il
swallows an orange, marked the rest

interior of the snake.
The serpent was dispatched with !
