from first lieutenant to captain His

The ship on which 1 returned
from Europe was torpedoed and sunk
yesterday. 1t was a fine ship and the
loss will be felt by the Cunard COM
pany. I was surprised that subma-
rine was able to get her as she could
easily run away from any submarine
and from almost anything else.
There seems to be great furore a.
bout it in this country but as she was
a ship of the British Naval Reserve
and subject to the orders of the
British Admiralty, 1 think. the Ger
mans were more or less justified in
sinking her, if they could. 1t caused
quite furry on the stock. market

Otis L. Benton Receiving Much Com
ment From Sixth District Papers

Otis L. Benton of this city has for
several months past, been receiving
much favorable comment through
the leading state papers as well as
the press of the Sixth Congressional
District, pointing to him as the log
ical candidate for the Republican
party in 1915. In addition to this he
has received volumes of letters en-
couraging his candidacy. While he
has not, as yet, made formal an
nouncement of his candidacy he has
ample time, with the primary eigh-
teen months in the future, to give
the matter due consideration Mr.
Benton is a man capable of doing
things as the events of his brief pol
iticaI career clearly demonstrates
This enviabIe record is only in keep

things he attempts to accomplish

A Few Suggestions for Boosting
Wa-KeeneY

Don't be the man who put sit in
city.
Building good houses builds good
town.
Save little money and save a lot
of worry.
Good roads lead not only to town,
but to money.
Be live one and the town will
never be dead one.
A nice front porch has prevented
many an old maid
Why should the town muzzle dogs
and not knockers9
When someone. plans to help the
town, plan to help the plan
The best plans a man can have to
the future are house plans
A good way to make the world bet
ter is to begin with the home town.
A town is like perambulator; it
isn't much good unless it IS pushed.
Don't spend all your time telling
what you could do if you had some
time.
Be like ball player. The thing be
is always working for is home.
BE one of the leaders of the town,
if you can; but, anyway, keep up.
If you think a COW can't laugh for
joy, let somebody sell you good silo.
rs Don't be crouch. Everybody in
this town wishes you well, even the
doctor. ssss. 90
- Let's not be trying 60 stop some-
thing all the time. Let's start some-
thing.
A good town will do more to keep
the boys at home than good advice.
A town is like girl. It's wonder
ful what a little fixing up will do for
her.
Opportunity knocks once at every
mans door; better be at home when
the lady calls.
The world owes every man a living,
but the street corner is a poor coIlec-
tion agency.
Don't look for soft snaps; the hard
snaps are the ones that have the
ginger in them.
Don't spend so much time talking
war that you haven't time left to talk
business.
If you would like to have somebody
working for you, put some money in
the bank.
1t improves the soup to throw a
little pepper into it. Same way with
a town
If you spend all that you earn, some
other fellow is banking your money.
Many young man goes away to
seek his fortune when Fortune is
seeking for him at home.
Plaster your house and everybody
will follow your example. Lath and
the world laths with you.
You've got to be citizen in order
to vote; but you've got TO do good
deal more than vote to be a citizen.
If you will consider the men in
this town who are well off you will
find that most of them made their
money here.
The big things are not all done in
the big towns. The greatest poem in
the English language was written in
country churchyard.
There is only one better man than
the man who gets behind and pushes,
in an effort TO improve the town, and
that's the man who goes ahead and
pulls
