There was never so much good
road sentiment in the state as
there is today. People preach

that to build roads. What it

Success is only a relative

failure in life because he cannot
enjoy his money, while the man

THE RING OF WORDS.

Bright is the ring of words
When the right man rings them,
Fair the fall of songs
When the singer sings them,
Still they are caroled and said;
On wings they are carried
After the singer is dead
And the maker buried.
Low as the singer lies
In the field of heather,
Songs of his fashion bring
The SWANS together,
And when the west is red
With the sunset embers
The lover fingers and sings
And the maid remembers.

HELPED WHALE OIL TRADE
Mines Have Driven the Mammals in
Immense Droves Into Norwe-
gian Waters.

The war has filled the Arctic with
whales, according to the belief of
some whalers, who say the mines,
torpedoes and shells in the North sea
have driven the mammals in schools
farther north this winter. One of
the large Norwegian whaling COM
panies has just distributed a divi-
dSnd of 25 per cent among share
holders on this seasons catch. The
whale oil refneries of Norway are
sharing this prosperity.
While the whales are bringing
wealth to Norway the reports of the
department of agriculture is disap-
pointing as to the amount of crops
yield, which falls about $2,000,000
below the average year. Fortunately
the quality of grain has been unusu-
ally good and the higher price, due
to the war, is to the advantage of the
farmers. The economic loss, how
ever, will be felt by the country. Hay
and potatoes were the only crops
reaching their normal yield.

RECEIVER Is APPOINTED
FOR PLANTERS ms. CO.

The Planters Insurance Com
pany of Little Rock, Arkansas,
has gone into the hands of re-
ceiver. The outstanding obliga-
tions are something over S31 900,
with about $4,000 worth of notes
on hand. The unprecedented
losses of the past year seem to
be the cause of the failure, the
company having done something
like 1921 900 worth of business in
that time and the losses rggre-
eating S131,000. A receiver has
taken charge of the business and
the chancery court has cancelled
all policies.
MIR. j. w. Phillips, of Wash
ington, has been representing
the Planters in this part of the
country and will lose heavily by
the failure.
The losses of this company do
not represent risks taken on
country property, but are prin-
chilly confined to insurance in
towns.
Mr.. Phillips will still continue
in the insurance business and
will be in position in a few days
to go to work for one of the
strongest old line companies in
existence.

ELECTRICITY MADE AT HOME
Explanation of Simple and inexpensive
Way of Producing Electric
Sparks.

The ordinary person either does
not understand or is afraid of cleo
tricity and could scarcely be persuad-
ed to manufacture it himself, and
yet, after all, little electrical expert
ment at home is both amusing and
instructive. All that you have to do,
says London Answers, Is to take a
glass, expose it to the fire so that
it shall be perfectly dry and place
it upside down upon the table.
Afterward take a tray, also per-
fectly dry; and place it upon the glass
in such way that it shall preserve
its equilibrium. Finally, take a
sheet of paper slightly smaller than
the tray, heat it and rub it rapidly
with a brush and it will become
quickly electrified. Then place it
upon the tray.
An electrical machine will thus
have been constructed without any
expense. If the finger be brought
near the tray a spark will appear.
This spark will be so much the
brighter and the series of sparks will
be so much the longer, in proportion
as the glass and tray are drier.
If, when the sparks are being
drawn from the tray, the room in
which the experiment is performed
be darkened, these sparks will appear
extremely brilliant.

COMBAT GERMS OF DISEASE
Intelligent Cleanliness Is the Slogan
That Is Depended on to Pro
duce Results.

Tuberculosis Sunday, November
80, 1914, saw the birth of a new and
striking public health phrase" says
DR.. H. W. Hill of the Minnesota
Public Health association. "It was
coined not by a public health expert
but by Presbyterian minister in his
tuberculosis Sunday prayer. This
phrase Intelligent Cleanliness will
become public health slogan for the
future, because it sets forth sharply
and emphatically the distinction be-
tsleo',- -.,,..ss esthetie cleanliness and
that which avoids disease. Scrub
bling floors and cleaning windows
makes life more comfortable, pleas
anter and more efficient, but it is as
useless weapon against water-borne
typhoid as scrubbing a ships deck
would be in stopping a leak. When
disease breaks out in a community
the first thing to do is to take intell-
gent measures for combating that
particular outbreak, not an outbreak
in some other place. Intelligently to
attack and destroy germs of disease
where they exist is intelligent clean
illness. The boiling of water is eff
fective only if water be the route by
which the germs are travelling from
one person to another. If milk
should happen to be the material
which carries the disease, boiling the
water is very unintelligent attempt
at useful cleanliness"
