James Whitcon1b Riley:s 62nd
Birthday Comes Today With
Friends Eoerywhere Joining

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct flames
Whitcomb Riley's sixty-second birth
day came today, and, just to make it
more memorable than any that tas
preceded it, the entire state joined in
celebrating it.
This year was picked for honoring
the poet because the citizens of Indiana
wished to pay him tribute while he
would be fully able to take part in and
enjoy it. In addition to the weight Of
years, Mr.. Riley has felt the burden
of ill health. He has reached that sea-
son of his life when the frost is on the
punkin' an the folders in the shook"
and the state of his birth and lifelong
residence felt that it didn't want to de
10y longer the complete and formal
expression of its love for him.
Governor Samuel M. Ralston recent
! ly issued a proclamation asking every
community in the state to set aside tie
day for the honoring of Indiana's most
beloved citizen. His plan was to have
business suspended as much as posi-
BILE. The proclamation is being gener
ally observed in every city, town and
village, from indianapolis down to
Greenfield, where Mr.. Riley was born.
and Carleton, the tiny hamlet, under
the name of Tailholt, the praise of
which the poet sang with the lines:
you kin boast about yer cities, and
their Study growth and size,
And brag about yer countey seats, and
business enterprise,
And railroads, and factories, and all
SIGH foolery-
But the little Town O. Talbot is big
enough fer mel" .,..i,t
! Greenfield took particular interest

, in the celebration. Many of it's older
inhabitants remembered James Whit
comb Riley as little boy, unknown to
the worlds except as the son of Capt.
Reuben Riley, highly respected Cit
zen. Also it recalled that it is situat
ed on the banks of the Brandywine, the
stream whose joys the poet chron-
icled in 9TH Old Swimmin Hole" and
of which he had said, that wandering
up and down it," he "had more fun TO
the square inch than ever anywhere
Governor Ralston, Mayor Joseph F.
Bell, Charles Warren Fairbanks, Meri-
dith Nicholson and George AIDE had
charge of the celebration in Indianapo-
lis. In order to lend nation wide liz
terest to it, they invited celebrated
persons from all over the country to
attend. Many accepted.
William Allen White came from EN-
poria, Kas.; DR.. John H. Finley AMI
Colonel George Harvey from New
York; Ellery Sedgwich, from Bost IN
and Young F. Allison from Louisville,
KY, to help honor Mr. Riley.
The list of Indiana citizens taking
part in the celebration is big. In ad-
dition to the members of the commit
tee of arrangements, there were former
Senator Albert J. Beveridge, Senator
Kern, Vice-President Marshall and
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1915-10-07

others.
The program of the day called for ar
entertainment in a local theatre in
the afternoon and banquet at which
Mr.. Riley was to be the guest of honor
in the evening. 1t was expected thax
the poet would read a new poem at the
banquet.
At the entertainment several of Mr.
Riley's poems, including "The Raggedy
Man" and Little Orphant Annie,
were set to music by MIR. Wara-ssterT-
ems. Dancers from Anna Pavlowas
company interpreted several of the
verses.
Hundreds who had hoped to attend
the banquet this evening will be dis
appointed The committee in charge
have been compelled to reject scores
of appeals for accommodations. as
there are seats for but four hundred.
Former Vice President Charles W.
Fairbanks will be POSTMASTER.
The coming of his birthday in Octo-
her has peculiar happiness for Mr..
Riley, he said the other day. 1t is his
favorite month, as he attests in his
poem, "Old October In it he says;
81 love Old October so.
I can't bear to see her go
Seems to me like losin' some
Old-home relative err chum-
Pears like sorto' settin' by
Some old friend at sigh by sigh
Was a-passin' out O. sight
Into everlastin' night"
James Whitcomb Riley was born at
Greenfield, Indiana, October 7, 1855,
the son of Captain Reuben A. Riley
and Elizabeth Riley. He first began
contributions in Indiana papers in
1873. His dialect poems brought him

S1OO Ton Value Clear
Creek Tungsten

Samples of the Tungsten ore
recently found by J. G. Davis in
the Argentine district have been
assayed by Hugh F. Watts the
Boulder assayer, and found to con-
contain ii 40 percent tungstic acid.
This would indicate value of
500 per ton for the ore at the
mine in its crude state.
Mr.: Davis and his associates are
elated over the assayer's report and
will continue their search for the
precious ore.
O. Barlow Wilmarth of Idaho
Springs, personal friend of MIR.
Davis, sent the ore over to Boul-
der for assaying.

THE INTERNAL REVENUE

1t was given out at Washington a
few days ago by the authority of the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
that the internal revenue of the Unit
ed States government during the fiscal
year, 1915, has reached SALE, 1869 ,876,
the highest revenue ever reached in
the history of the country, but made
so and saved from serious falling off
as compared with the revenue of the
preceding year, only by the so-called
"war tax" law. This law was enacted
on October %, 1914, and expires by
limitation in December, and since the
government is now running at a
monthly deficit Of $15,000000, it will
probably have to be reenacted or some
other form of revenue found. The
receipts from liquors, aside from add
ed taxes provided by the law of last
fall, fell off more than $23,000,000,
and the receipts from tobacco fell off
more than s2,5OO,0O0. The corpora
ton tax yielded $39,O00,000 and the
individual income tax, SAL 100000.

1t pleases a man when his
wife goes to church. 1t IS
makes him feel good to see his
wife go to church it surely will
make his wife feel better still to
see him go to church. Next to
your mother, who perhaps IS
dead and gone, the best friend
YOU have ever had is that brave
little wife of yours. Remem-
Der the time you went wrong. Ii
ever you needed a friend it was
then. How quick she was to
forgive. When through your
blunder your money took wings
she fixed up her old hat and
trimmed her dress once more.
Tears started to her eyes when
neighbors glanced significantly.
When you were sick she cook
ed little dainties, sat and read
to you, quoted bits of scripture
and stroked your hot temples,
Tonight, while you are asleep,
she will be up with the children.
Get out those old love letters
and read the spirit of them. Fra
grant as lavender. Tomorrow
morning, when the stove goes
wrong and a harassed face
glances across the table be a
lover once more. Praise the
breakfast. Kiss her goodby at
the door. See her smile through
the tears. She'll sing all day
long. Perhaps a year from now
you would give all you have IN
the world to take hold of her
hand, tell her you love her and
call her your old sweetheart.
But. too late! She's gone forever.
Make your wife happy by go
ing to church next Sunday. Go
to church with her if possible,
but go to church if you have to
90 church alone. It is in the
house of God that you'll find
consolation. It is there that
you'll be instilled with courage
to fight the battle of life.
Make your wife feel happy.

PEOPLES FORUM

IS PATRIOTISM ON THE WANE?
If we may judge by the action
of a majority of the teachers of
Barbour County, we must ans
wer, yes, for they voted down
the following resolution in in
stitute at Philippi last week !:
Resolved: That we wish to see a
Bible on every teachers desk and
old Glory, floating over every
school house in West Virginia.
What may we expect if we
place the training of the future
citizens of the state in the hands
of who are opposed to the above.
This resolution does not ask for
action on the part of any one,
but was for the sole purpose of
ascertaining the sentiment of the
teachers of Barbour county and
should have been unanimously
adapted no matter who introduce
ed it.
A teacher who did not vote
either way told me that he
thought it was voted down, to
'jolly" its orthor, I hope he is
mistaken I do not want to think
that the teachers of Barbour
County are 50 narrow as to kick
the Bible out of the schools or
pull down "0ld Glory to "Jolly"
any one. We might expect such
action in Mepico, but not in
ENGLAND United States, friends
of u. L. F., get busy.
If we may Judge by the senti-
ment expressed outside Of the
institute we made a grave mis-
take BY defeating the above res
olation bat let us be like Rev.
Sam Jones let us sDeedlvl correct
it By putting a flag on the school
house in which we teach this
winter.
Don't ask the Board Of Edu-
cation to do it, but do it our
selves.
There are at least ten house
mentioned in the Normal Insti-
tute that furnish flags to schools
practically free. If you have
not this information, I will fur
nish it free to any teacher wish
ing a flag.
I admire the courage and SEN
timent of my friend, Henry L..
Cox, who spoke for the resolu-
ton and I also admire the cour-
ace Of my long time friend, John
H. Rohrabough, who spoke
against it, but deplore his senti-
ment as expressed.

THE FOOLISH wORKINIGMAN

1t is estimated that in the
manufacture of a barrel of beer
81 gallons according to U. S.
revenue regulations) about 60
cents cost of materials. The
Champion of Fair Play, leading
liquor organ, informs us that at
five cents per drink the profits
of a barrel of beer range from
S12.40 to $28.35, according to
the size of the glass. These
profits, it states, are based on
the sale of the beer without
foam. Thus does the poor
workingman' enable the brewer
to present Mrs. Brewer with a
crown of gold, his own wife the
while going hatless and hungry.
