KEEP TIMES HARO'
ThinIy Yelled Threat Made by
 Tariff Grafters.
Raises the Point, Is the Prosperity of the Country Dependent on the Greed of a Few Unserupu-
 Ious Men?

Word is being passed in various cir cles that the railroad rate increase, after all, does not amount to much, and that the factories of this country will not open in full force until they are certain of a more favorable attl- tude" from the administration at Washington.
 Stripped of its wordy nonsense, this means that group of tariff grafters have determined to keep times hard through the rest of the Wilson admin istration, in hope of getting Repub- lican victory and those lovely Aldrich schedules, with extras.
 Can they do it? Is the prosperity of this country so dependent on the greed of a few men that these few, for their own advantage, can say that the whole nation shall have hard times until it consents to be robbed again, as it was robbed for the It years prior to the election of Wood row Wilson?
 The destruction of capital in Eu- rope is terrible, and has a depressing effect on industry throughout the
  than discounted already, while the good factors in the present situation are just beginning to be realized.
 The nation has one of the largest crops in it's history, which is being sold at the highest prices known for many years.
 It has banking and currency sys- tenn which makes panics thing of the past.
 It has the finest chance to develop a great merchant marine offered to any land since the Napoleonic wars.
 In the face of all these circum- stances, can a small group of tariff grafters force hard times, in order to force change of government?
 If they can, then all the reforms of the last few years are but a fe;. bite compared to the radical reorganiza' tion which is needed to secure the nations liberties. The tariff grafters | had better be careful.

these loops holds the band in place and is concealed under a strand of hair.
 Fastened on the band at one side is cluster of grayish blue full-blown roses of velvet, with small sprays of tiny rose foliage in sage green. One might wear such subdued colors with almost any costume. The sparkle of the rhinestones gives life to the pretty affair, and altogether it's beauty makes an instant appeal.
 The second ornament is made of narrow bias strip of cerise velvet, hemmed in a very narrow hem at each side, into which fine shirring wire is run. It is mounted with rhinestones supported by silk-covered wire, as in the first ornament described. The vel. vet terminates in long pointed ear, outlined with a strand of rhinestones. Rhinestones are to be had set in tiny
 bands, and sell at moderate price by the yard in dry goods stores. Other
 bead passementeries and strands of
 pearl beadC are used for making hair ornaments, also narrow fancy ribbons and braids. If in making the last orna-
 ment described, bright green velvet
 instead of cerise color, is used the
 handsomest of decorations for white hair is the result.

TT is wonderful what miracles Of i'm | provement in looks can be brought about by means of the coiffure and its decorations. Only beautiful and au- dacious youth can afford to wear plain, severe styles of hairdressing. Waves that mitigate the austerity of straight lines, curls which suggest femininity, are almost invariably be- coming. And aside from becomingness, a well-groomed appearance (more evi- dent in the coiffure than anywhere) has compelling charm in itself.
 When the Lest and most tasteful of hair ornaments are worn, to set off the chic coiffure, a chance is given for the exercise of individual taste. There are many pretty hair ornaments, unpreten- tious and elegant, that any clever woman can fashion for herself. Near ly all of the new ones are made of strands of small rhinestones, used in single or double bands, about the head, in the manr CT of Greek bands. But with them flowers, feathers. or velvet ornaments are used.
 Two of the pest designs are shown here and one hardly needs more than the picture to be able to go about copying them. One consists of a rhine stone band sewed to a fine silk-covered wire which terminates in loop at each end A hairpin thrust through

FRANCIS oUIMET IS ToUcHY
Refuses to Accept Prize Based on Professional Classification by
 Metacomet Golf Club.

That Francis Ouimet is deservedly touchy about his amateur status is shown by his attitude toward a prize he won at the professional-amateur competition at the Metacomet Golf club recently.
 On account of his high rank as a player, it was decided to class him as professional, since, if he had been paired as an amateur with a profes- sional, other pairs would have stood a poor show of landing first prize. Ouimet and his partner won second place, which carried with it a prize of $40 for the second best pro.
 The club officials decided to give Ouimet prize equivalent to the $40 rather than one of the prizes for anna teurs. Thereupon Ouimet notified the club that he preferred not to accept

gro THE LARGER MINORITY"
President Wilson's Assertion at In. dianapolis More Than Borne
 Out by the Figures.

President Wilson might have gone audience at Indianapolis that the Re- publican party is still more of a mi nority party than the Democratic, and that "as between the minorities think we can claim to belong to the larger minority"
 The New York World has compiled the official vote for representatives in congress in November. These re- turns show that the Democratic party boiled a larger percentage of the total Democratic Republican Progressive vote than it boiled in 1912, and that the Republicans and Progressiv ,s combined boiled a smaller percentage than in 1912.
 In spite of the great Republican gains in the house due to the return of the Roosevelt voters to their old al legiance, the fact remains that the Democratic vote was relatively larger than it was two years ago.
 In 1912 the Democrats boiled ap- proximately 45 per cent of the total Democratic Republican Progressive vote. The Republicans boiled 25 per cent and the Progressives boiled 30 per cent. In 1914 the Democratic congressional candidates boiled 47.4S per cent of this total vote, the Repub- licals boiled 45.59 per cent and the Progressives boiled 692 per cent. This shows Democratic gain of near ly 21a per cent, a Republican gain of 21 F per cent. It shows also a com. bined Republican-Progressive loss of 21a per cent.
 The official returns from the vari- ous districts indicate total Demo cratic vote for members of congress of 5,276,7O7, total Republican vote of 5,066,92S, Ind total Progressive vote of 769;S63. In addition 153.O56 votes were cast for Democratic-Pro. gressive fusion candidates and 253,. 432 votes were cast for Republican. Progressive fusion candidates. There is no basis on which this fusion vote can be apportioned. But it is plain that at best the total Progressive vote l was well below a million, as against 4,119, ,507 two years ago.

SECRECY OF VARIOUS RULES
Presidents of Major Leagues Should Make Interpretations of Rulings
 Known to the Fans.

There is one reform which the presi- dents of the major leagues should bring about. This is letting all of the fans know their interpretations of va rious rules. After this reform the league presidents should go step far ther. They should make their inter- pretations uniform. The trouble is and always has been that the rulings of the presidents are kept almost state secret They are given to the umpires and sent to the club manag- interpretations are for their own spe- cial benefit, so that even the players of the major leagues do not always get wise to them until the play actually comes up. As for the minor leagues, the collegians, the semi-pros, and the amateurs, they are kept entirely in the dark. An instance in point came delphia Telegraph. Recently Tommy Keenan, who is umpiring in the East ern association, sent a letter to the writer telling of a play which came up in his circuit. There was a runner on first base. No one was out. The batsman made three bases on a drive. The umpires called both men out the base runner for not touching sec ond and the batsman for technically passing the base runner before he was declared out. Jim O'Rourke, president of the Eastern association, who was a major; league player many, many years ago, decided that the umpire was right Billy Evans and Jack Sheridan of the American league staff, to whom we referred the play, declared that only the base runner should have been play to Billy Klem of the National league staff. Klem agreed with Evans and Sheridan. Then Klem pulled out his instructiens in which this very play was. given. In the instructions the umpires are told to call only the base runner out on such play and to permit the batsman to make as many bases as possible on the drive, unless two men were out before the ball was hit. In the latter case the batsman would get only single. The argu ment for this ruling is that the bats
 man should not be penalized for the fault of the base runner. Had the in | depreciation of the major league presi dents on this play been published the | argument could never have come uI | in the Eastern association. There are | wrangles every day on the diamonds
 of the big and little teams which could
 be avoided if the major league presi
 dents would have little foresight
 and understand that their rules arc
 followed by tens of thousands o
 teams all over the world instead O
 merely by the teams in their own cir
 cults.

In three of the world series games between the Braves and Athletics, Gowdy batted sixth and Deal eighth. and in one Deal batted sixth and Gowdy eighth. Why?
 The answer will show that George Stalhngs, manager of the Braves, doesn't overlook even the tiniest point in planning to win baseball cham pionship.
 Deal is left-ield hitter. I noticed before the game that the wind was blowing across the field with enough strength to be of great aid to a left field hitter. A long fly would be car ried into the left-field bleachers.

wanted to take advantage of Deals habit of hitting into left field, and therefore made the change"
 Deal made just two hits in the four games, the double that won the second game in Philadelphia and double into the 1eft-field stands in the first Boston game.
 The second hit was made just as Stal- lings hoped it would be. Deal hit a fly ball to left and the wind carried it into the stands.
 The chances are 100 to 1 that not one out of every 1000 spectators even noticed that the wind was blowing in the direction of left field.

No Loss by Democrats.

There were no general Republican gains in the popular vote in 1914 at the expense of the Democratic party. The Republican gains were all at the expense of the Progressive party, and even the return of the lost sheep left the Republicans far below the Demo- crats in actual numbers.

FIRE IN HIGH SCHOOL
NARROWLY AVERTEO
Moving Picture Entertainment
Before Crowd of Children in
Auditorium Nearly Ends in
Disaster.

A fire which might have had disas-
trous consequences broke out in the
auditorium of the high school shortly
before noon Thursday. The GOODNESS
of Supt. j. +, Nuner was responsible
for averting n panic among the many
children of the Main school, who had
crowded the building to witness a
moving picture entertainment of 5000
feet of film dealing with the life OF
David Copperfield, one of Dickens
characters.
The machine was in charge of Prin-
cipal Horton and Logan Emmerson,
one of the pupils. Half of the film
had been shown and was being re-
placed by the remaining part when
the blaze started. After removing the
film from the machine one of the op-
orators laid IT on the floor on which
he placed a piece of hot carbon. 1t
Immediately blazed up and was seized
by EmmersOn, who handed it to the
principal, who made an effort to throw
IL out of the window. In the excite
ment of the moment, however, he
threw it into the seats, and at this
point it appeared as if a panic was
imminent. Prof. Nuner, who was at
the doorway, addressed a few words
to the children, who were quickly
told to file downstairs three abreast,
which they did without mishap, al
though there was a good deal Of
scrambling in order to make the hur-
ried exit
In the meantime an al m had been
sent in and the city fire department
responded with alacrity. However,
the fire had been subdued before the
arrival of the firemen. The damage
consisted principally of scorched seats
and the ceiling of the auditorium also
suffered in a like manner
The moving picture apparatus has
lately been added TO the schools
equipment and had only been operated
a few times previous to Thursday.
The film was TO be shown TO the
pupils Of the high school Thursday
afternoon, but owing to the fire the
entertainment was postponed.

A Remedy
For All Pain

THE efficiency Of any drug" says DR.. G. p.
Robbins, rs known TO rs by the results we
obtain from it's use. If we are able TO con-
troll pain and disease by means OF any pre-
paration, we certainly are warranted I'm its
use. One of the pr;actpal symptoms OF all
diseases is pain, and this is what the patient
most often applies to us for, 4. g. something
to relieve his pain. III we can arrest this
promptly, the patient is most liable TO trust
in US for the other remedies which Will effect
a permanent cure. One remedy which i
have used largely In my practice is Anti
kamnia Tablets. Many and varied are their
uses. have put them to the test on many
occasions, and have never been disappoint-
ed. l found them especially valuable for
headaches of malarial oriRin, where quinins
was being taken. They appear to prevent
the bad after-effects of the quinine. Anti
kamnta Tablets are also excellent for the
headaches from improper digestion; also
for headaches of a neuralgia origin, and es-
peciallyforwomens subject to pains at certain
times. Two Anti-kamnia Tablets give
prompt relief, and in short time the patient
IS able to go about as usual" These tablets
may be obtained at all druggists. Ask for
Ak Tablets. They are also unexcelled for
headaches, neuralgia and all pains.

To End Catarrhal
Deafness and
Head Noises

Persons suffering from catarrhal
deafness and head noises viii be glad
u know that this distressing affection
can be successfully treated at home
by an internal remedy that in many
instances has brought complete relief
after all else has failed. Sufferers
who could scarcely hear a watch tick
tell how they have had their hearing
restored TO such an extent that the
tick OF a watch was plainly audible
seven or eight inches away from
either ear.
Therefore. if you know someone
who is troubled with head noises or
catarrh, or catarrhal deafness, cut OUT
this formula and hand to them. and
YOU will have been the means OF saw
ing some poor sufferer perhaps from
total deafness. The prescription can
be prepared at home. and is made as
follows.
Secure from your druggist / OF
Parmint Double Strength), about 75c

"a pint Of hot water and OF. OF gran
ulated sugar; stir until dissolved.
Take one tablespoonful four times a
day
The FIRST dose should begin TO re-
lieve the distressing head noises
headache. dizziness. cloudy thinking
etc. while the hearing rapidly returns
as the system is invigorated by the
tonic action of the treatment Loss
OF smell and mucous dropping in the
back of the throat, are other symp-
toms that show the presence OF
catarrhal poison. and which are often
entirely overcome by this efficacious
treatment. Nearly ninety percent OF
all ear troubles are said TO be directly
caused by catarrh. therefore. there
must be many people whose hearing
can be restored by this simple home
treatment.
Every person who is troubled with
head noises. catarrhal deafness or ca
tarrh in any form, should give this
prescription a trial. There is nothing
better.

.CIVICS CLASS FORMS
JUNIOR GIVES LEAGUE
Was Also a Plan of the MiSha-

School Students to Study
City'S Civic Problems.

Mishawaka is to have a junior civ
les league. which will cooperate with
the other civic organizations in max
ing the city one of the most desirable
10 live in. II has been a plan Of the
A1ishawaka WOman's club for some
time 10 perfect such an organization
and q committee was appointed to
gather data from cities having such
organizations some time ago. II w
ever, the cfvics class instructed Oy
Miss LeOna Turner OF the AIishawaka
high school, recently formed such an
Organization to continue its study of
ciYics In an entirely different method
so that the work OF the class will bet
ter sanitary conditions and beautify
the city. The name, MishaWaka
High School Civics league, was de-
cided on at the meeting.
A committee consisting Of the
Misses Helen Lang. Ruth Sutherland.
Florence Sytz, Mary Robinson and
Chester Bussert was appointed to
draw UP constitution for the league.
This constitution as adopted by the
class states that the object Of the
league shall be TO promote the civic
welfare Of Mishawaka and shall CO.
operate with the Mishawaka Womans
club and the Mems Civics league and
other civics organizations Of the city.
An interesting feature of the con-
st!tution is that it provides for the
initiative, referendum and recall. Will
liam Middleton was elected president
and Miss Dorothy NOyes, secretary,
for the present school year.
It is planned TO hold a meeting OF
the league every school day, as a par
Iiamentary assembly with the class
teacher as the sergeant at arms. A
committee to assign the work each
day, with the civics teacher a perma-
nent member, will be appointed the
previous dav. The enthusiasm dis
PLAYED by the members Of the class
