ARE THESE REALLY

An Encouraging Example Of Conf

Ask any man nowadays How Is
business?" and his reply is likely to
be, well, everybody says it's bad.
but 1t seems to be pretty brisk with
us. / know / am busy"
America is full of examples OF in
creasing pros perity. Especially those
firms that cater to the needs OF the
farmer are working full or extra
time.
Take the case OF the Mishawaka
Wooden Mfg. Company Of Mfsha-
waka, Ind. This company manufac-
lures the famous @Ball-Bald" Rubber
Footwear, worn by over eight and
one-haf million workers.
For many years they have manu-
featured rubber boots, shoes and
arctfcs of all scriptions-woolen
with a Red Ball trade mark.
They have never made light rub
beTs. 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 "Bail-Paad'' line is to include
light rubbers. In order that deliveries
can hegfn January. 1915, work on an
enormous new plant has begun and
will be pushed with all possible speed.
This means the employment of at
least 600 more persons when tho
new buildings are completed, or a
total of $500 employed for this com
pany

The censorship is growing tighter
at Rome. Not only has an absolute
ban been put on I'll messages concern
ing military movements, but excitab!e
comments Of portion of the Italian
press are being denied the wires This
very fact convinced diplomatic cir
cues here tonight that important
moves are being made behind the
censorship veil at the italian capital.
Berlin newspapers received here
also sear evidence that the Austro-
Italian situation has reached . most
critical stage. Apparently 1t the sug

Our First Preparedness.

If the war in Europe should end to-
day, within a month invasion or TINS
country would begin.
This may be startling assertion
hut we believe it is true. and that a
very serious situation exists.
We are unprepared to repel this in
vasion. We should lose not single
hour when Congress reconvenes to
make ready for this invasion.
The menace is all the more serious
because so many Americans, law max
ers with the rest, cannot be impressed
with the real need of immediate ana
thorough preparedness. They fail to
see clearly or they are criminaliy I'M
patriotic and disloyal to the homes
and hardness of millions OF American
citizens.
Oh. no; we do not look for an early
invasion of armed forces, but for the
product of ten-cents day laborers TO
turn our wage earners out of employ
ment and flood our markets with IN
ferior goods made to SELL
The preparedness we need and must
have to prevent hunger and suffering,
rioting and panic in our land. is tarltt
mines. tariff forts and tariff guns.
We must be protected or suffer,
Most men would prefer death in the
trenches to prolonged suffering ana
starvation of their loved ones in our
industrial centers.
Before the Congress wastes any
time on navies and armies, let it
recognize the nearer peril and prepare
TO save American homes from the
blight of foreign cuich made to
dump

The "Real Thing"
(Biddeford JOurnaD

1T is not Boston soil but a subjec
ton to Boston culture that makes the
Boston beam says the Providence
Journal. This is what the Biddeford
Journal has contended all along. with
the addition that Boston's reputation
for culture had by reflection, given
to the so-called Boston baked beans a
reputation for excellence which they
do not deserve and which they never
could have obtained on their own
merits. If you want the best thing in
baked beans, leave Boston out of the
reckoning and seek the treasure in
some farmhouse where the art of pre-
pairing and cooking beans has descend
ed from mother to daughter ever
since the harvest Of the first crop of
beans on New England soil. There. if
anywhere. You will find baked beans
that are worth while.
