Noises From the Sun.

If your telephone is noisy these
days when the sun is shining it is
always shining though you cannot
see it and the noise sounds like
there is a thunderstorm going, don't
call up central and bawl somebody
out. 1t may be that the reason is
several million miles away.
Scientists tell us that the noisy
condition on the telephone wires
might be expected at times during
the next couple of years during the
maximum periods of sun spots. "
Every II years or so the sun spots
which are in reality great storms in
the gases covering the face of the
sun. grow worse than at other times
and they create a great deal of
static electricity on the earth which
affects telephone wires and has
been known to entirely lay out tele-
graph systems. making it impossible
to send Observation-Disclosures

Does This Fit You?

The average business man IS too
busy and gets very careless in re-
gard to his duty to his family. 1t
seemed to us if he loved his family
as much as himself it would not
be so hard to remember what he
owes them. what wife is there
that knows what neglect means
but would rather by far have plain
er clothes, palmer food, palmer
furniture and more love from her
husband, love that means kindness
at all times. remembering that the
sweetest moments of a woman's
life are when her husband is kind
and thoughtful of her comfort. A
man that loves his wife does not
have to be reminded of little acts
of kindness he can give so many
times a day. If a man does not
love his wife he ought to be as
thoughtful and courteous to her as
to her neighbor.

Oldest Clock in America.

Standing in the broad hallway
of a Kansas City home is what is
believed to be Americas Oldest
clock. Until Q lear ago it ran
steadily. as it did 286 years past,
but the present owner has decided
that the old time is entitled to a
rest and depends on more modern
clocks, several OF which are scatter
ed about the household. The clot k
is of the old grandfather variety. 1t
was made by S. Hoadley, at Ply
mouth, England, in 1928, for Ma
thaniel Merrill, one of its present
owners ancestors, and was brought
by him to Ipswich. Massachusetts
Bay Colony. in 1888. Since that
time it has remained in America
and in the Merrill family. The
works found inside the eight foot
mahogany case contain no metal.
Instead simple arrangement OF
dOgwood wheels and drums wound
with cord forms the mechanism
which has performed its duties SC
long and faithfully. Elk.

Same Here, Brother.

The Standard editor is of the
opinion that the belief of Congrega.
tionalists comes very near hitting
the tack on the head. They be-
lieve that if ones conscience die
tates that it is all right for one to
attend a base ball game on Sunday,
a picture show. or take a chew of
tobacco, that it rests between the
man and his maker. If the Stand
ard editor thought it a moral sin he
would not print the bills for a Sun
day base ball game; if he thought
it a sin to attend the frivolous pict-
ure shows, he would not carry their
advertisements neither would he use
dead ads to fill up his paper and
cheat the readers out of that much
live reading.-Sikeston Standard.

Community pride is an asset. and
it is one of the greatest of all assets.
The town that improves its streets,
cleans up the alleys, paints the
houses, cuts the grass, rakes the
lawns and plants its flowers is not
only encouraging cleanliness, but is
making for itself a name among the
people of the outer world.
Commercial travellers and others
come, and look, and 90 away and
talk and the talk is all in favor of
the town and its people.
Talk travels. and grows, and mul.
tiplies until the town becomes
known in many climes for its clean
illness and progressiveness.
In time other men who are look
ing for change of location hear of
this town-and then they 60 and
look, and talk, and are pleased and
it becomes their home.
And the town continues to ex-
pand and progress, and as the years
roll by it gradually assumes larger
proportions and a more command
ing position in the world.
When community pride comes in
prosperity enters by its side. and
the two become mighty levers that
control the machinery of success.
Personal pride and community
pride should march side by side,
for when the ,e two potent factors
join hands in laudable purpose,
opposition quickly melts away.
Deal With Men You Know.
Don't expect the impossible of
your town and its merchants. Be
sure first, before you complain of
the goods. and the prices of home
merchants. that you have not had a
hand in making it impractical for
our merchants to handle the kind
of goods you want at the prices you
can pay.
| Merchants are not mind readers
nor are they blind to their own best
interests. If they haven't what you
want they will get it for you at as
low or lower price than you can get
it anywhere else They deserve to
be given an opportunity to do so
anyhow, but if they do not deserve
it you will be doing yourself big
ger favor than you will be doing
them to deal face to face with men
you know and that can be held per-
sonally accountable for their pro-
misses and performances.

MAN WHO CORNERED EGG
 MARKET IN DAWSON JAILED

"Swiftwater Bill" Gates the gen jus who coned the egg market in Alaska in the Klondike days, and made a fortune in gold-mining, and who was arrested in Spokane recent ly on a warrant sworn to by Mrs. lola Beebe, of Seattle, charging neglect to support his l4 year old son, Fred, is out on bond.
 Gates says he has given Mrs. Bebee between $1O,OOO and $l2,OOO for the boys support.
 '"Swiftwater' never gave me a cent" said Mrs. Beebe.
 He eloped with my daughter when she was only IA years old. She had two sons by him. He made her go with him to Quartz creek, where the first gold in the Klondike was discov- cred, so their first born might be born under lucky auspices. The first born was Clifford. 'Swiftwater' de- serted my daughter before the second son, Fred, was born.
 "He got $4,OOO from me and put it into Quartz creek. sold my hotel at Dawson, and gave him $S,OOO. l never got a cent back.
 "A woman kidnapped Clifford, hop ing, suppose to make 'Swiftwater' pay her for his return. 'Swiftwater' never tried to find him. paid law yers and detectives to search for Clifford until went broke. I'm broke now. Clifford is somewhere in British Columbia.
 "My daughter died in 1908, and her body lies in Mt. Pleasant cem- etery. Over her body, took VOW that I would compel 'Swiftwater' to provide for his children.
 q have kept Fred all these years. I propose to send him through col lcge, and I propose to make'Swift- water help me to do it.
 'He promised me long ago that he would pay me $1OOO a year for each of the boys and 10 per cent of the profits of any mining properties he might secure. He does not come to see Fred when he is in Seattle. Once long time ago, he gave the boy 60 cents"
 About two years ago "Swiftwat- CT Bill" returned from Peru, where he claimed to have discovered the source of the gold that the IncaS had when conquered by Pizarro. He formed a company to develope his concession. He was about to return to Peru when Constable E. Shrewsbury ar rested him in Spokane and brought him to Seatte.-Ex.
