Ruin Not Yet In Siaht.

From all the business agencies of
the country reports come of remark
able extension and expansion of activi-
ties in the way of new enterprises and
a continuance of large transactions in
the well-established lines of industry
and commerce.
Not since 1907 has there been noted
such confidence in the future as is now
evidenced by the willingness of con-
sentative interests to finance and pro-
mote sound enterprises in many and
varied fields of endeavor. and, indeed,
in many instances where the fields
seem open and profits seem well as
sured there exists an eagerness to ex-
plot them, and money is not lacking
to back the desire.
This confidence is based upon the
general prosperity now admitted by
the most pessimistic to prevail
throughout the Union.

Chance for Mann to Make Good.

Congressman Mann, minority leader
Of the house. in an address before the
Chicago chamber of commerce. went
on record as favoring preparedness
for national defense, preservation of
home industries and control of the
world markets. In the present crisis,
he declared. it is time to forget our
partisanship. yield much of our party
aiflliation and appreciate the nations
needs and opportunities. The senti-
ment is good; now let him square his
conduct in the coming congress with
his words by giving the administration
wholehearted support in It's plan of
effecting these purposes without in
jecting impossible schemes of tariff
strictly for protection into the delib
erations of that body.

quently used. should be applied late
in the fall. preferably before frost
When applied at this time it serves as
protection throughout the entire
winter. It's use largely prevents tho
heaving which Is so noticeable In
many patches. The mulch also holds
much water. with the result that the
patch Is better able to withstand the
dry summer weather. During the
spring the mulch protects the berries
from dirt, which is dashed upon them
by the rains If the ground is bare. II
the spring is late, in the home garden
the mulch may be raked over the
plants to protect the blossoms and
fruit from frosts.
After the berries are picked the
mulch should be washed into the soil.
Where this is done, much humus and
plant food is added with the result
that greater yields may be expected.

flow is naturally heavy anyway. About
the time pastures dry up, a spring
calving cows milk flow begins to fall
off and by the time she is put on dry
feed of sufficient quantity, her milk
production has generally fallen off so
much that it cannot be brought back
to normal. On the other hand. when
cows calve in the fall. their owners
will see to it that they get plenty Of
dry feed to provide for the heavy
milk production OF winter. Then
when the COWS begin to fall off in the
spring and need good succulent feed
most, the pastures come along to keep
up their milk flow.

into the practice of using silage. the
most economical winter feed for cat.

Country. Business Booming.

The silk business In every branch Is
booming. The mills are heavily sold
ahead for spring 1916 fabrics. Plans
have been approved for the erection
of four new silk plants in Pennsyl-
vania and for two in New Jersey. Two
large mills in this state are building
extensive additions. 1t also was an
nounced authoritatively recently the
aggregate amount of capital invested
in che new plants and additions would
exceed 100000. Wilkes-Barre, Sum
bury, Childs and Northampton are
the places to have new mills. Pater-
son is credited with the two for New
Jersey The extent to which orders
are being placed on silks for immedi-
ate and future needs, it was said IN
the trade, was causing some of the
conservative mills and selling agents
to caution their customers against
overbuying.
So the story might be continued in
definitely. Riding hell-bent to bank
'ruptcy," indeed! as Representative
Longworth recently asserted. To get
a true idea of what that means one
must go back to the Roosevelt panic
of 1907, when a Republican tariff was
in force and the Republicans had full
control of every department of the
government. Thangs are different
now.

VIEW OF ARNA

under Abdul Hamid II, when 1t began
to capture much of the trade that had
formerly been done through the port
OF Enos, which lies upon the south
eastern point OF the Gulf OF Enos, on
the southern bank of the Martha
river. Forty years ago Dedeagatch
was merely a cluster of fishermens
huts, struggling back from an open
roadstead. Since then new town has
grown up, small, with only 1000 popu-
lation, but alert, progressive, conf
dent. Several factors have entered
into this promise of Dedeagatch. First
among its advantages is that of its
railway connections, which link 1t
with Constantinople, Sofia, Bourgas
and Saloniki. Further. it's rival to the
south, Enos, succumbed to it's I'M
healthy climate and to the shifting OF
coastal sandbars.
The inhabitants of this harbor city,
as all along the coasts of the Aegean,
were mostly Greeks up to the occupa-
garians. Greek commission houses
and shippers had most of it's trade in
their hands. The opening of the Con-
neutrality-suspicious. railway in 1896
brought rapid prosperity to the place.
some of which was lost again when
railway connections were made be-
tween the interior and the Black sea
port of Bourgas. The city is the
natural outlet of the Martha valley,
however; and despite its unfayorable
harbor, an unsheltered. open road
stead, it will probably become a rich
city as Bulgaria's first Mediterranean
port.

ALL GO BACK TO THE GREEK
Every Modern European Alphabet 10
Derived From or Founded on
That Of Greece.

The word alphabet is derived from
the first two letters of the Greek al
phabet, alpha and beta, corresponding
| to our a and b. The Greek alphabet
| is one of the oldest in the world and
all modern European alphabets are
derived from or founded on It. The
English alphabet is practically the
same as the Roman, which was de-
11veu Ti0m the Greek. All writing was
in its origin pictorial, and while that
lasted there was no need of an alpha
bet or of written words. The earliest
Greek alphabet contained only 10 let
tiers, having no and ending with the
letter t. The letter and the six let
tiers following t, viz: u, v, W. Ky, &,
came by a process of evolution at long
intervals. There was no u in the
Greek alphabet until the ninth cen
fury B. c., and for more than one thou
sand years longer and were diff
ferent forms of the same letter. one
being used at the beginning and the
other in the middle of a word. 1t
was not until the tenth century A. D.,
that the two letters were differentist-
ed into as vowel and as a con
sonant. There was no separate let
ter W until the eleventh century A. ID.
Prior to that the sound was expressed
by WI or Nv, but finally the two us
were linked together, making double
u. Some other letters have got into
the alphabet by curious process OF
evolution. The letter z, for example.
comes from the Latin through the
Greek. This letter was introduced
into the English alphabet in the If
teenth century and from having beer
the sixth letter in the Greek alphabet
1t was made the last in the English
alphabet. 1t used to be pronounced
zed or lizard, and still is sometimes so
written and printed in England. There
are persons living who can remember
when the alphabet was printed in
schoolbooks with zed at the end, in
stead of z, and when the character &,
abbreviaticn of the Latin ct, also was
printed as letter.

is a far-away. indefinite taste, as
