wa RUCE LARNIGAN had won the
- first battle In his fight against
G.1 the fifteen, a mysterious graft
syndicate which, composed not
of cheap politicians, but OF great busi-
ness men, had strangled New York in
Its nefarious grip and was planning to
spread its activities to cover the whole
country. But Bruce had no illusions.

him on election day itselfby attempting
to prove that he had accepted a bribe
from the liquor interests to secure lax
enforcement of the law had failed,
thanks partly to his own cleverness and
partly to the help of Dorothy Maxwell,
his fiancee.
But Bruce knew that the real fight
was only just beginning. The graft
syndicate was intrenched I'm power. 1t
had warned his father, Dudley Larni-
gan, that death would be his reward ir
he did not desist from his efforts to eX-
pose its corruption. 1t had made good
the warning, and Bruce had sworn not
only to finish his fathers uncompleted
work, but to avenge his death as well.
TO Bruce, Stanford Stone appeared
to be a great capitalist, distinguished
financier, man justly honored by the
community and worthy of respect and
confidence. Yet Stanford Stone was
the head of the graft syndicate. II
was Stanford Stone who had decreed
Dudley Larnigan's deatlSsand Stanford
Stone who had led the assault upon
Bruce himself. Moreover-and this
Bruce did not suspect, either--a per-
sonal motive lay behind Stones enmity
for him, for Stone was In love with
Dorothy Maxwell.
Bruce had determined that his first
move must be to strike ut the evils of
the tenement house district, which his
father had been planning to take up.

his mother. II know there is one, and

The United States is now assem-
bling an army of some 20 million
not men but boys and girls. The
training camps" for millions of these
will be rural schoolhouses and the
commanders in charge country teach
ers. As the many school bells call
these boys and girls, not to arms
but to books, we may properly inquire
into the conditions under which they
are to be trained.
If the schoolhouse is not what it
should be, and if the teacher is lack
ing in many of the qualities that ev-
cry teacher should possess, it may
now be too late completely to remedy
these defects, but there is much that
can be done. The weeds can be cut
and the stubs dragged down. The
well can be cleaned out, as each year
typhoid cases originate in many rural
schools. The floor and woodwork of
the interior of the building can be
thoroughly cleaned or freshened with
paint Most important of all, sani-
tary toilet facilities can be provided.
For each school yard and house the
first day of school should always be
preceded by cleanup day.
If your boy were in a soldier train
ing camp only afew miles from your
farm you would occasionally go over
to camp to see him drill, would you
not? And perhaps you would be suf-
fciently interested to take time to
talk to the commander. What then
is your attitude toward the boy or
girl who five days in the week goes
from the farm home to the education

SOME REFLECTIONS.

You have noticed, haven't you, that
William Howard Taft is getting on
the front pages of the big daily news
papers pretty regularly of late weeks !?
Taft has grown wonderfully since he
went out of the presidency. He is
bigger now than when he was chief
executive. AS further proof of his
bigness he says that he will not con-
slider nomination fir the presidency
again. You will also notice that Taft
is standing by his country and holding
up the hands of its president during
these troublesome times in the depart
ment of state. He is not going about
with torch of redfre trying to ex-
cite the people to bloody and use
less war, as is the fast vanishing
Roosevelt. The man who voted for
Taft in 1912 never need be ashamed
Of it.

The failure of the business men of

The continuous weekly driving home
of advertisements of the towns wares

The newspaper reaches the readers
when they are at leisure, sitting down
in receptive frame of mind. They
expect to see what the home mer-
chant has to offer. If the home mer-

ing to offer. So the tendency is for
the volume of business to go where
an effort is made to get trade. And
the trade does go elsewhere.

You may possibly think the tariff
is dead issue. You will change
your mind inside of a few months, or
by the time the next campaign rolls
around. Here is something from the
Allentown, Pa, Chronicle News that
will pay you to read: In 1913 Cana
dian farmers sold to buyers in the
United States, cattle, horses, sheep,
etc, to the value of little more than
III million dollars, but in 1914 they
cut into the market of the American
farmer to the extent of II million
dollars. That gain of 9h million dol
lars was enough to make quite a
jingle in the pocket of the Canadian
stock grower
In 1913 Canadian farmers sold in
American markets only S1,750,000
worth Of grain and flour, but in 1914
they were able to ship in enough of
the same commodities to take away
$12,400,000 of good American money.
That is s9,690,000 to the gain of the
Canadian. Wool imports from Can
ada gained $1,100,000 in 1914 as COM
pared with 1918.
Those four classes of commodities,
livestock, grain, hides and wool, con-
stituting the foundation of agricul-
ture, yielded the Canadian producer a
gain of % million dollars in American
markets under Democratic as COM
pared with Republican tariff laws.
But it was not Canadian farmers
alone who profited by the reduction or
removal of tariff duties on farm pro-
ducts. Mexican stockmen increased |
their sales in the United States about /
5h million dollars. Argentine farm
ers augmented their incomes to the
extent of million dollars by sales
of grain, nearly million dollars by
sales of meat and dairy PRODUCTS and
2 million by sales of wool.
Agricultural producers in these and
other countries were aided in selling
other products in American markets,
but the items mentioned above give
the larger amounts of increased sales
and serve TO illustrate the manner in
which. reduced tariffs on agricultural
imports throw the American farmer
into competition with farmers of 9TH
err nations.

Old Bill Misgivens had a peculiar
experience last week while tearing
down an old house on his south 80.
He ran across a joint snake down be-
tween the timbers and hit it with mis-
spade. OF course every joint few
apart and started to wiggle off. Bill
just for a joke picked up one of
joints and put it IN bucket, and then
slipped behind the logs and waited
to see what would happen. In about
ten minutes he heard sort of low
whistle and then a rustling. The
head of the joint snake came out of
the weeds and looked around. 1t then
made peculiar whistle and another
joint backed up and fastened on to
rhe head whistled twice,
and joint No. 2 came out, and so on,
so many whistles for each joint, until
it came time for the one Old Bill had
in the bucket. At it's call the thing
thrashed around in the bucket like all
possessed, but couldn't get out. Of
course, without the joint that fit, the
snake couldn't get together. Old Bill
said the last he saw of it the head
had taken charge of one half and the
tail the rest, and had gone off in diff
ferent directions to hunt up the miss
ing joint. Old Bill got almost home
with his joint when an automobile |
footed down the road. This either
scared the joint or it was its coupling

Ingersoll to Women: 1t takes a
hundred men to make an encampment,
but one woman can make home. l
not only admire woman as the most
beautiful object ever created, but
reverence her as the redeeming glory
of humanity, the sanctuary Of all the
virtues, the pledge of all perfect quail

nor right to lay the sins of men at |
the feet of women. 1t is because |
women are so much better than men |
that their faults are considered great

of his love. The one thing in this
world that is constant, the one peak
that rises above all clouds, the one
window in which the light forever
burns, the one star that darkness can
not quench, is woman's love. 1t rises
to the greatest heights, it sinks TO
the lowest depths. 1t forgives the
most cruel injuries. 1t is perennial
Of life and grows in every climate.
Neither GOODNESS nor neglect, harsh
ness nor cruelty, can extinguish it.

The best monument man can have
to his memory is friends who feel that
something bright has gone from their
lives with his passing. Who feel that
while they will live on and work on
as before, yet there will always be a

reaching for the handclasp. The alert

sickness for the unassuming presence
and the quick sympathy that are a
part of the man worth while.
