II you are not just up to your ideal
strive to build and grow to your ideal;
If yout environment is bad, make it

Improve every moment. Time lost can
never be regained. Opportunity knocks

1t deVolves upon you how you will use
these opportunities. Reckless use of
money is no worse than reckless use of
time. Conserve your energies, improve
your talent, and look upon life as one
series of successes and so far as you are

not live in the back yard of your life
but look to the dawn of the future. as a
new revelation. Do not fume and fret;
that is suicide. Above all be a man.

A SEVERE ACCIDENT

The Transcript regrets to inform its
readers that on Wednesday morning
Mrs. J. A. johnson, the wife of our
well known dentist, met with a very
painful accident caused it is said, by
the explosion or ignition of a gasoline
smoothing iron which she was using.
The flames burned the lady's hair
and face in a serious manner, and but
for the presence of mind of her maid
who quickly wrapped rug about her
mistress, thus smothering the fire, it
is believed the accident might have
proved fatal.
Several physicians were at once call
ed in, and later the sufferer under the
charge of Dr. E. M. Vaughan was
taken in an unconscious condition to
the 2.30 p. M. train en- route to the
jefferson Hospital. Her husband DIR.
johnson also went with her.
A note received later from Dr. John
son states that Mrs. johnson is resting
easy and the attending physician does
not consider her burns serious.
The lady's sad misfortune has arous-
ed the deepest sympathy of all her nu-
merous friends, and indeed of the whole
community, and all are praying she
may emergs from her dangerous mis-
hap without loss of her eyesight or
other permanent injury.

DANGEROUS CHANGE
Nationwide Primaries An Attack
On Sovereignty
STATE LINES OBLITERATED

Nationwide primaries were declared
to be an attack on, the sovereignty of
the several Commonweaths which, if
successful, would convert the United
States into an empire, by John C. Bane
a leading member of the Pttsburg bar
in an address recently before lawyers
and Judges attending the twenty fifth
annual meeting of the Pennsylvania
Bar Association here.
An urgent plea that the Bar Associa-
tion call upon Congress to defeat the
proposal to abolish national conventions
and to go on record as opposing the
initiative, referendum and recall was
made by the speaker. His subject was
"Nodern Attacks Upon Our form of
Government" and in part he said:
Advocates of a scheme to abolish
national conventions have been calling
this doctrine to the attention of Con-
gress for considerable time, and the
people will be required to meet the
question in the near future. This sys-
TEN involves the annihilation of pollti-
cal parties and could not exist together
and political parties are indispensable
in republic.
Without them there can be no es-
tablished traditions. The voters would
be in that condition of helplessness that
always exists in an unorganized multi
tude and constantly subject TO the in
fluence of selfish and boisterous dsmag-
ogues who seek to leap to power by
appealing to their prejudices and pas
sions.
Estate lines would be obliterated by
this system. A President nominated
and elected in this manner would be
President of a consolidated nation and
not the President of the United States.
The States might continue to exist in
name, but they would cease to be an in
tegrant part of the national govern
ment, All of this would greatly aug
ment the power of the executive and
its end would be empire.
mo more dangerous proposal than
than this was ever seriously advocated
by any of our people. We fought for
years to prevent secession; and it can
not be doubted that consolidation would
be more deadly iu its effects upon our
liberty and safety than secession could
have been"

GROWERS THINNING PEACHES

According to the reports coming from
the peach regions of Western Maryland
some of the growers have been thin
ming the fruit on the overloaded trees,
the purpose being to develop the re-
naming fruit in size and quality. This
is wise thing to do; troublesome but
well worth the trouble. When the
thinning out process is begun there
should be no scrimping. If only 100
peaches are left to a tree, unless the
tree is unusually large and vigorous,
thu crop upon the whole will bring
better returns than from a yield of 500
peaches to the tree. 1t is not uncommon
thing for peach trees to be so over
loaded that the fruit is stunt-in size and
inferior in quality. When peach that
ought to be as big as a small cocoanut
ripens at the size of an English walnut
there is a miscarriage in the fruit
growing business that spells loss to the
orchardist. In full fruit year inferior
peaches will not pay freightage. Thin
ming out the fruit month before
ripening time will not only improve the
quality of the fruit but save the tree.
An overladen tree is generally mangled
by the breaking of limbs and its vigor
is sometimes so depleted that it skips a
year to recuperate. The runty peach
does not even make good pies. Going
over an orchard and picking 200 peaches
from each tree when the fruit is only
the size of an almond is tedious job.
But otherwise, in many orchards, there
will be turn out of runty peaches at
shipping time.

full steals but they had to do that when
third was occupied. Carrow gets the
ball off with jump, S. Wallace shoots
t to sec nd and there Weist tags them.
A fast combination, you can bet on
that.
Heldmyer is getting his batting eye
back again and before long George
will be among the leaders.
Some stop of Weist's in the first
game. His position: Anywhere be-
tween first and third, thirty yards
behind the diamond, and ten feet in the
air.
"Bob" Heller put up great game
at first, and claims that his batting av-
erage is creeping up somewhat,
'Perc" Wallace was the real star
making two beautiful catches, besides
getting everything else that came his
way, six hits and five stolen bases.
"Buzzy" Wallace was on the job as
usual and ever ready to lend hand
whenever needed.
We think Carrow is undoubtedly the
best pitcher that has ever been on an
Odessa nine.
