man physically and as much so intel

comparatively few persons possess.
He was Of an eminent practical turn of
mind and he repeatedly volunteered
the services of a helping hand" not
tiguratively only, but in the most liter
al sense, as many and one having had
past experiences of distress and need
can testify. In conduct he was unas-
suming and unpretentious. Hypocrisy
was by him abhorred and outspokenIv
denounced, in person and in public ut

him. In the temporal affairs of the
community he was enterprising and did
probably more than any other individ-
ual to promote its fruit growing inter-

AS preacher he was resourceful, his
sermons were expository and very
practical, mis- delivery frank. free,
spontaneous and bore the stamp of
sincerity and was eloquent because of
its indebtedness, its realness. its adj

The American Girl.

We are proud of the American girl
and justly so. She has not her equal
in all the wide, wide world. She has
grace of mind as well as of face. S1e
is vivacious and plpdant, yet with a re-
serve of dignity that is a shield and
buckler
She is abreast of the times, and re-
joices in the period that is here. She
is genuine optimlst, not one for mere
advertising purposes. She reads much
and sensibly. She is fond of romaace
but detests silly sentimentalism. She
does not wish to be worshiped as such.
She wishes respect and companionships
and opportunity for rational freedom
and selt-development
She has independence without OBJ
stinacy, ambition without fanaticism.
She thinks for herself, and her Opin-
ions are her own, not manufactured for
her by interested persons. With equal
facility she can WELD the fan, the golf
stick, the cooking utensil and even the
ballot.

THE government has received S99. 40
settlement for single sugar pine tree
which was cut in trespass in the
Stanlslaus National Forest. in California,
and which yielded more than enough
actual lumber to build a good-sized
suburban frame house. The tree
scaled Is, 933 board feet and was valu-
ed at $5.25 per thousand feet. Not
many trees contain enough lumber
to build two-foot board walk nearly
two miles long, and this is believed to
be the first case on record in which
single tree felled in a National Forest
was valued at almost 500 on the stump,
although National Forest timber is
frequently sold at considerably higher
rates. A few such trees would be a
great help to Garrett county farmers.

AMERICA AMONG the NATIONS

That America commands the respect
| and confidence of the world is a fact
of which we may well feel proud in the
present crisis. Much of this respect
has been attained through a policy of
fairness and generosity that has uni
formly actuated this country IN its
international dealings.
This matter was well set forth by
Congressman Richasd P. Hobson in a
speech on the Naval Appropriation Bill,
in the House on Friday. We quote:
when Great Britain, France the
Netherlands, and the United States
jointly bombarded Shiminosiki and
eXacted $4,000, 900 indemnity from the
Japenese Government for having closed
the straits at that point, the other ma
tons took their equal shares and expend-
ed them. Americas share was duly re-
ceived, but ere long, by a unanimous
vote of the American Congress, every
dollar was returned to the Japanese
Government.
''ln the Boxer disturbances, when
the allied nations invading China levied
huge indemnities against America ,
pleading and allotted America $4,000,
900, by unanimous vote of our
Congress we returned the last dollar to
the Chinese Government,
when our blood and treasure had
been freely poured out in Cuba and the
world expected US to retain and hold
Cuba as a fruit of conquest and a
source of revenue, America astonished
the whole world by voluntarily giving
Cuba her independence. What nation
on earth would have been so patient. so
long suffering in Mexico as have been
the American people?
America is the one great Nation
that covets no territory of any other
nation. America is the one great Ma
ton that would recoil at the very
thought of becoming a governing"
nation. In America Jews and Gentiles
have become reconciled with trotes-
tants and Catholics. America is a blood
kinsman of the Anglo. Saxons, of the
Germans, of the Frenchmen, of the

SlaY, Teuton, Latin. America opened
up Japan with the blessing of an elder

THE COUNTY FAIR

The farmer gets more out of the fair
than anyone else. The fair to a city
man is an entertainment; to farmer it
is education. Let US take a stroll
through the fair grounds and linger a
moment at few of the points of great
est interest. We will first visit the
mechanical department and hold COM
munion with the worlds greatest
thinkers.
You are now attending a congress of
the mental giants in mechanical sci
ence of all ages. They are addressing
you in tongues of iron and steel and in
language mute and powerful tell an
eloquent story of the worlds progress.
The inventive geniuses are the most
valuable farm hands we have and they
perform an enduring service to man.
kind. We can all help others for brief
period while we live, but it takes a
master mind to tower into. the realm of
science and light a torch of progress
that will illuminate the pathway of
civilization for future generations. The
men who gave US the sickle, the binder,
the cotton gin and hundreds of other
valuable inventions work in every field
on earth and will continue their labors
as long as time. Their bright intellects
have conquered death and they will live
and serve mankind on and on forever,
without money and without price. They
have shown US how grand and noble it is
to work for others; they have also
taught Us lessons in economy and eff
cheney. how to make one hour do the
work of two or more; have heightened
our lives multiplied our opportunities
and taken toll off the back of humanity.
They are the most practical men the
world ever produced. Their inventions
have stood the acid test of utility and
efficiency. Like all useful men, they
do not seek publicity, yet millions of
machines sing their praises from every
harvest field on earth and as many plows
turn the soil IN mute applause of their
marvellous achievements.

TREASURY FACES A BIG DEFICIT.
Increasing at a Great
Rate, While the Government
Receipts Are DWindline.

ANSSSAPsS E@AN a.
The governmet is threatened with a
tremendous deficit and has been forced
to adopt definite and decisive plans to
remedy the situation. This alarming
situation over the condition of federal
finances brought about conference at
the Treasury Department of all the
members of President Wilson'S cabinet
now in the CITY,
The disquieting fact was emphasized
that the governments revenues are de-
creasing, while expenditures are in
creasing at rate that should cause
serious concern. 1t was decided that
the quickest and most effective way of
meeting this condition was to scale the
estimates of appropriations for expen-
ditures made to the House of Represen-
tatives by the Secretary of the Treas
ury on the day that Congress convened
last month.
The regular treasury statement tells,
in part, the story of the problem that
has given rise to alarm among the high
officials of the administration. For the
six months and 26 days of the current
fiscal year up to the close of business
Wednesday the disbursements of the
government were SAG, O69, sos, 96, or an
excess of $87, 1855, 282.15 over the re-
ceipts tor the same period. Last year
the expenditures for the same period
were S437, GIG, 23424, but the receipts
were more than thirty five million dol
lars higher than they were in the cor
responding period this fiscal year, leav-
ing an excess of expenditures over re-
ceipts of $39, 667, 1873. ~.
Members of the cabinet who attended
the conference were reticent in regard
to its purpose, but it was evident that
a review of the situation had produced
considerable alarm and had resulted in
a determination to enter on a policy of
retrenchment Immediately. The con-
ference was held IN Che office of the
Secretary of the Treasury. Those who
attended it were Secretary Bryan,
Secretary Meade, Attorney General
Gregory, Postmaster General Burle-
son, Secretary Daniels. Secretary
Lane, Secretary Houston and Secretary
Wilson. Mr.. Garrison, the Secretary
of War, and Secretary of Commerce
Redfield are out of the city.
