THE DAY Rola Clymer in Olathe, Kan, Register

He was kindly faced little old man who limped into your office the other day and asked if there wasn't some work he could do. His coat was torn and wrinkled and thin and his shoes were shabby and broken at the toes. Long locks of whitening hair fell down over his forehead, and his hands trem- bled as he smoothed them back.
 He told his story simply-the old. old story of adverse fortune; the story that is told in fragments, and from which one builds the structure that the world calls failure. The words came lamely, until he told you what he had been one day An, that was a iob of responsibility and power. in the days when youth and vigor coursed through his veins and when he walked should CT to shoulder with strong men. His eyes frightened and the shabby form on the second chair in the office seem- ed transformed under your eyes
 There it is, hidden away in every mans life, the remembrance of day that was-one day of triumph and fame and glory. No fate can wipe it out; no new experience can dim it. One day he was supreme; one day he was some ones hero.
 The day that was-a fleeting instant in eternity-compensates for all the wrecks of time.

 "Pshaw," said the second, "you're not in it. l am always up before that time and have most of my chores 'done."
 The first farmer thought he was a liar and decided to find out. A f, r mornings later he got up at two o'colck and went to his neighbours house. He rapped on the back door and the woman of the house opened it.
 Where is your husband ?" he asked, expecting to find his neighbor in bed. "He was around here early this morning." answered his wife. "but l don't know where he is now"

ARE THESE REALLY
 HARD TIMES?
An Encouraging Example of Conf dence from Misawaka, In- diana, That Sounds
 Like Prosperity

Ask any man nowadays How is business?" and his reply is likely to be, "Well, everybody says it's bad but it seems to be pretty brisk with us. know I am busy"
 America is full of examples of in- creasing prosperity. Especially those firms that cater to the needs of the farmer are working full or extra time.
 Take the case of the Misawaka Woolen Mfg. Company of Mishawa- ka, Ind. This company manufactures the famous Ball Band" Rubber Foot wear worn by over eight and one-half million workers.
 For many years they have manu- factured rubber boots, shoes and ar ticles of all descriptions-wooen socks, knit boots, etc, all marked with a Red Ball Trade Mark
 They have never made light rubber. Now they are about to make them. From dealers and consumers all over the country has come the cry, Give us light rubbers with the little red ball on them"
 So the Ball Brand" line is to in clude light rubbers. In order that de- liveries can begin January 1916. work on an enormous new plant has begun and will be pushed with all possible speed. This means the employment of at least 1000 more persons when the new buildings are completed, or d total of 3.600 employed for this com pany.
 Hundreds of new homes will have to be built to take care of these work CTS. The building of these homes will offer a further market for labor and material.
 It is difficult to imagine the wide spread influence of just this one case.
 The new buildings and equipment will cost in excess of half a million dollars. Over ten thousand pairs of the new light weight rubbers will be produced daily, these to be marketed direct by salesmen to over 50,000 deal CTS.
 This great increase in business in the face of competition and supposed ly depressed times speaks well for the stability of the Mishawaka Wool en Manufacturing Company and its celebrated products.
 It is typical example of the cour- age, faith and ability of the American Business Man.

Blood Bread.

> Prof Kober of Munich has published a
little treatise on the utilization of blood
as food, from which Die Umschau quotes
the following statements concerning the
use of blood in breadmaking. For CEN
turtles blood bread has been the staff of
life OF the Esthonians of the Baltic prov
inces and their colonies in all parts of
Russia. 1t is made of rye -four, with an
admixture of at least l0per cent of whip
ped hogs blood. In the vicinity of Pet
rograde OK blood is also used. Blood
bread is very nutritious and is highly
praised by Esthonian physicians because
of its richness in organic compounds of
phosphorus and nerve-restoring salts.
J Bread made with OK blood dries very
quickly, abut this defect can be remedied
by the addition of potato flour, which is
now common practice in Germany.
Blood bread is the most natural substi-
tute for meat and, with government con.
troll of the slaughter houses, it need cost
little or no more than ordinary bread

Excursion Boat upsets.
About 1000 Persons Drowned
In River.

Saturday morning last, Chicago, the
great city of the West, was thrown into
state of grief and sadness when one OF
five excursion boats-the Eastland-load-
ed with 2,480 excursionists upset in the
Chicago river and 1000 or more OF the
pleasure seekers were drowned. The
occasion was that of the Western Elec-
trio Company employees annual outing,
five steamers being chartered to carry
the 1000 or more over Lake Michigan to
Michigan City.
According to newspaper reports the
police were obliged to drive many per-
sons off the vessel, she being loaded far
beyond capacity. This work being finish
ed, the vessel was about to leave, but
before she got away, upset. Four rea-
sons are given as to why the accident
occurred, viz: That the boat was over
loaded; that she was not properly ballast
ed; that tug that made fast to warp
the Eastland from the docks started too
soon; that congestion of passengers rush
ing to the port side attracted by some
passing sensation tipped the steamer
over.
According to figures given of loss of
life on water, this will probably rank
next to the greatest recorded-that OF
the Titanic, when 1896 persons went
down with that vessel, April Ia, 1914.
In loss of life in Chicago this eclipses
all previous records. Up until this time
the record was between six and seven
hundred deaths caused by the fire at the
Iroquois theatre, December "a, 1903.

\ After piling up six runs in the seventh
inning, Sellers pitching, Stokes was put
in and the game was turned into sort of
a merry go-round hit-and-run-affair, nine
runs being made off his delivery in the
eighth.
Thus far Root has the Emmitsburgers
at his mercy, and although hits are
marked up against him. the making and
the marking are quite different.

Road Much Improved.
Work To Be Continued This
Week,

The matter of repairing the public
road between Thurmont and Deerfield of
which we spoke recently, was taken up
last Saturday. Quite a number of per-
sons responded to the call for assistance
and considerable work was done, much
of the road being put in good condition.
Some work has been done this week and
more will be done in the future.
The matter Of making this good road
appeals especially to autoists of Thur
mont and vicinity and to hundreds who
travel from Baltimore, Washington and
other places to the Maryland State San
atorium and all summering points on the
mountain.
Prior to the wreck on the w. M. sew
eral weeks ago, this road was little
known to autoists who have summer
homes on the mountain and also to those
from Frederick and neighboring towns.
Last Saturday nineteen cars passed over
the road.
| If the road from Thurmont to Deer
field was piked, travel would be good to
the top of the mountain Blue Ridge
Summit, the road from Deerfield to Sa-
billasville, Sanatorium and Blue Ridge
having been pked about year ago.
I This route greatly shortens the distance
from Thurmont to the top of the mount
ain and the grade is much lighter.
We hope the Automobile Club of Mary
land will lend it's influence toward having
this road improved made State Road
in the near future.
Those who worked on the road from
this place under Mr.. Harry Wilhde are
as follows: Messrs Beredi,t Knott, Sam
Dusing, s. P Miller, Wilbur Brown,
Reuben Brown, Leroy Brown, Walter
Smith, D. Kelley, Guy Kelley, Jacob

Postmaster General Burleson, in let
ter to all Presidential postmasters, urges
parcel post exhibits at county fairs and
civic expositions throughout the United
States this summer to educate the people
to the usefulness of the Government g
express service.
In another order the use of bicycles
and motorcycles in the rural delivery SER
vice is prohibited after January |, 1916.
1t is contended by the department that
the carrier using either of these machines
is tempted to discourage parcels post
shipments. There are now 1900 route:
upon which bicycles and motorcycles are
used.

sufficient to initiate several balloons.
Motter who was to win this game was
taken out in the fifth. Rooms then went
