papers Of New YORK and other large
cities also to agree to stop the pub

an the great centers Of population the
extra has been badly dytrdone,
there has been foolish waste that
was apparent to the most casual lay
oiaervor. This has come about
through the excessively keen compe-
ttion in the prompt publication of
the news but the time has come
when IL is possible TO be entirely TOO

to be what General Funston forcibly
terms "a carnival Of lying
There seems to be no doubt that
It was in this way that the numerous
reports Of hardships endured by the
national guardsmcn gained crcula-

the great majarlty Of the members of

As it became evident from ilnts

lost. q very curious and a very signtfi-

began to disappear and the old cries
for social justice and popular rule
were heard again Hiram Johnson

Parker. the most poignant figure at
the convention, begged them not to
destroy a party which offered the

shipped more distinguished statesmen
and foreigners than perhaps any other
church in America
They sit in the historic pew once oc-
cupied by George Mason. author Of the
bill of rights, and near that Of the
Washington and Lewis families. Gen.
and Mrs. Washington with q company
of distinguished guests regularly on
Sundays drove the six or seven miles
over q muddy country road to old Po-
hick. and after services stopped out
side the church, as was the custom, to
speak to their friends and neighbors.
The people Of the parish feel an in
seldom fail to wait outside the church
until he appears.
Mr.. Joseph Letter is spending a great
deal of time at Marsh Island, near the
mouth of the Mississippi river. where
he is experimenting the building of his
new hunting lodge, which he expects to
have ready for occupancy by the LIST
of November, when the hunting season
for that part of the country opens.
While the lodge is described as rustic
on the outside, it is to be most COM
fortably and even luxurtously furnished
and equipped with all conveniences as

for the big retorts; the chemist now
studies art methods Of adapting the
various hard clays to the new kind of
war work. and even the famous artists
whose nam9s are associated with the
most exquisite1y delicate co1oring OF

their art in enameling these same huge

The lovers of horses will have a new
horse show to attend this fall at Spring
neld. Mass, which will last for six

The plans of the management include
