PAPERS FROM DISTANT LANDS
J, -oDDTTIEs OF FOREIGN PRESS

The Chamberlain Medicine Com
pany, Des Moines. Iowa, manufac-
turers OF Chamberlain's Cough Rem
coy, advertise not only In this eoun-
try but In foreign lands. A copy OF
each issue OF every newspaper con-
tanning their advertisements is sent
TO the office of the chamberlain
Medicine Company as PROOF CT
the insertion OF the advertisement
Some OF the papers bear names OF
places which require one to recall
forgotten geography or refer to the
atlas TO locate. Some of them are
particularly curious as they are
published in the vernacular or ma
tive languages which might be lik-
ened to the carefully written notes
of a shorthand writer.
The Chamberlain Medicine Com
rany advertises In newspapers
printed in thirty-two languages be-
sides the vernaculars and the well
known European languages. French
Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Ger
man, etc, the list embraces q num-
Der of languages which until com
paratively recent times possessed nc
alphabet but for which the Roman
alphabet has been adopted. Among
these are the native Hawaiian, Sa'
moan, Tagalog philippine islands,
Kaffir. Zclu and Basuto, of Soutf
Africa. These is also modern form
of the Malay Language using Roman
characters, known as Romanizet
Malay. This is used in Java and th'
East Indies.
To an American newspaper maj
it is interesting to note the mannel
in which the colonial English news
papers are made up. They still clint
to the methods which were practic
ed in this country fifty years ago

FAVOR CURRENT TOPIC CLUB
Business Men Would Give Dinners
and Discuss Civic Problems

Several of the foremost business
men of the town are agitating a
Current Event" club for the bust
ness men of the town, which would
hold dinners one evening in every
two weeks and at these, topics of
common interest to every citizen OF
the town would be discussed. Four
men would be asked to give ten
minute speeches, all on the same
subject. These talks would be fol
lowed by a discussion by those pres
emit and every phase OF the. topic
considered.
The possibilities along this line
are boundless and such topics>as the
proposed water course for Mud
creek. gates at the railroad cross
ings, Santa Fee depot on Buckeye,
street cleaning, motor fire depart
ment, park improvements. new high
school, community house and public
play grounds, should especially in
terest the business men OF Abilene,
for these are all projects which
would make Abilene a better city
than it is, il they would be worked
out.
These matters would he thorough
Nv discussed at these meetings ana
if the men saw fit, active steps to-
ward their accomplishment could I've
taken. 1t is very certain the town
will not progress without interest
and this plan seems to offer a very
feasible means of interesting the
citizens and aFOusing them to &C
ton.
The club women OF the town Sc
cured a public kindergarten and had
very successful cleanup day by
simply pulling tDgether for the best
interests OF the people OF this town
and why cannot the men do IKE
wise and accomplish something bet
ter and greater than they have in
times past
The members of the Commercial
club pay fifty cents month and
have the use of the rooms. This
pIan as proposed would enable them
to attend these meetings and get
something really worth while ont OF

ALONG MOTOR ROW

The F-t which sank In the Homo
lulu harbor was a 1907 model. II
this is considered In automobile
terms 1t will cause less surprise.
The submarine and the automobile
were in their infancy together and
we should not expect any more OF
a 1907 model submarine than we
would OF that years model automo-
bile. In 1901 thirty-one automobiles
started out OF New York on short
test run. Only one car finished, the
rest having expired or broke down
on the way. Today 1t would be
surprising II one broke down and
all did not finish with perfect
score. That same type OF efficiency
has been reached in the present day

The concrete discs, like Abilene
has on one intersection, are prov

regulation at Hutchinson, and they
were tested to full capacity during
state fair week. The markers are
very good for this purpose but they
are not serviceable. They soon grind
up under the continual friction of
heavy loads and the most practical
marker would be an iron disc.
The driver OF motor car racing
at a rate of sixty or seventy miles

Very Good Reason to Believe That Successor of Dora Will Have Base

There is only too much reason to believe that the Alaska Steamship company has decided to cut out Sew ard as the terminal for the west ward run. It is stated on the best authority that when the new steamer comes to take the place of the Dora she will make her headquarters at Cordova instead of this place. Some people directly connected with the Dora have already received intima- tion of this fact although no official notification has been given.
