August 18th, 1916.
Mr.. ". W. Moberly;
wish to say that the En-
torprjse has been following us on
our trip keeping US in touch with
home folks and things.
1t has surely been a great trip.
But it is extremely hot here and

Wesley MoreIand and Frank
Baycr and hope to see them here
tomorrow evening. | am with
an aunt in one of the homes for
aged women. She being the
head nurse here.
Last nigAt we went down with
the gtrllcs and went thru the
big boat "Seeandbee." the
largest steamer on inland wa
ters, in the world. 1t accomo-
dates 1900 persons and has $40
state rooms, etc. If all wont

In our visit ! saw cur old

Dr.. caIdwelps Syrup Pepsin the Fam.
lily Laxative for Many. Years.
Mrs. Aug. Doellefeld of Carlyle. ILL.,,
recently wrote to DR.. Caldwell, at Mon
ticello, ILL.,, that she has used DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in her home for
a number Of years, and would not be
without it, as with it she has been
able to keep her four children in per-
feet health.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin that acts on the bowels
in an easy, natural way, and regulates
the action of this most important func-
ton. Nearly all the sickness to which
children are subject is traceable to
bowel inaction, and mild, dependable
laxative, such as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin should have place in every
family medicine chest. 1t is pleasant
to the taste and children like it, and
take 1t readily, while it is equally ef-
fective for adults.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
in drug stores everywhere for fifty
cents a bottle. To avoid limitations
and ineffective substitutes be sure you
get DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. See

War Prosperity

War prosperity must end some time. Indus
try in the United States has been stimulated by
the excessive orders for munitions and supplies
placed here by the Allies. The condition is re-
garded as abnormal by students of economic
conditions. Many Of the ablest financiers are
sounding warning to the American people ask
ing them to save while they have opportunity
and begging them to prepare for the day of de-
preston.
None Of us can foretell exactly what will hap
pen when Europe calls back her fighting men
and peace settles over the battlefields All of US
can take time by the forelock, however, and shape
our affairs so that we will be prepared for any
eventuality. In the light of this observation the
statement of Charles M. Schwab, president Of
the Bethlehem Steel works. may assume signifi-
canoe. It follows in the form of news dispatch
from st. Louis:
Because the American people have not
learned to economic and have become extrava-
giant, Charles M. Schwab believes period Of in
creased prosperity after the war will be followed
by period of depression.
Mr.. Schwab was quoted as saying that the
fact that this country with less than one-sevsnth
of the population of the world, owns more than
one-third Of the worlds wealth. carries with it the
knowledge of a temptation to be guarded
against"

WILLIAMS SACRIFICE

William had almost everything be
wanted when he was boy. but the
thing he loved best was his dog Run.
Run was a bulldog. and could fight
any dog around. If need be, and whip
him, too, but he was good dog, and
never started q fight unless the other
dog came to his yard and stayed too
long.
Not far from Williams house lived
a crippled boy named Ralph, and Will
liam often went to see him to carry
him books to read, for Ralph was the
son of a poor widow who did sewing
| for Williams mother.
One day William took some work
for Ralph's mother to do. and Run
| went along. When Ralph saw the
! dog his face lightened up. and he
| called the dog to him, patting his
! head and saying, "You good old tel
low, how I should like to have dog
like you"
Ruff made friends with Ralph at
once and sat by him all the time Will
liam was there.
When 1t was time to 60 William had
to call the dog before he would lave
Ralph's side. Il guess he likes you
pretty WE'LL" said William. He never
had to be called before when started
to so out"
Il think he knows like him and
that am cripple. Animals know
those who like them, and they are also
very sympathetic" said Ralph patting
Ruff and telling him to come again
with his master.
The next day when william came
home from school he could not find
Ruff. He called several times, but no
Ruff could be found.
After dinner William went out to
look for him and went in the direc-
ton of Ralph's house. when to his
surprise he saw Ruff in Ralph's yard
looking up at the window where he
sat.
Ralph beckoned for William to
come in.
"He come here this morning, and
when thought you would be home
from school | asked mother to put
him out and tell him to go home, but
he came back to the window, and here
he sat looking UP at me. ! am sure
be is sorry because | cannot run and
walk as other boys do and he is try
ing to show his sympathy for me"
That night after dinner William
said to his mother and father, Il am
going to give Ruff to Ralph. He loves
dogs and he has to sit alone so much:
I am sure Ruff would be great COM
pany for him"
His father and mother looked sur
prised, for they knew that Ruiz was
the best loved Of all Williams pets.
But who will pay the license for
Ruff? You know Ralph's mother has
all she can do now to get along said
his father,
"Oh. I have thought of that. too"
explained William. Il am going to
pay it out of my allowance. 1t would
not be gift if I did not do that"
The next day William took Ruff to
Ralph's house and led him UP to him.
Here is your dog" he said. Il have
brought him home"
What do you mean by saying he

graceful chapters of the volume has to do with u.
Henry's sentence to prison for enbezzlement.
Mankind has steadfastly adhered to the principle
that after mans death his mistakes are to be
forgotten and forgiven. The professor who
wrote o. Henry's biography has been ruthless
and uncharitable in his portrayal of this chapter
in the writer's life.
Some one has rightly remarked that he wished
to be spared the arrows and filings OF biograph-
er. Too often carping critic goes into the de-
tails dragging to publicity weaknesses and errors
that charitable mankind has forgotten. We be-
heve that man writing the biography Of Lin
coin, if he reproduced the calumny and vitupera-
ton hurled at the Emancipator during his heated
political campaigns, might produce volume that
would give distorted and unfaithful account Of
his life. During mans life, many charges are
brought against him; after he is dead, he has no
one to defend his good name. The common pro-
prieties of life suggest that man be given a
square deal and fair chance to defend himself.
This opportunity is denied a man after he has
crossed the great divide.
The daughter of o. Henry recently gave out
the following statement about her fathers biog-
raphy:
Naturally the main question at issue was
the handling Of the prison chapter IN my fathers
life. Neither the members of his family nor his
friends ever mentioned it, nor did he himself ever
speak of it. It was not the arrest conviction, and
sentence itself which was so terrible, but the in
justice of it ALL think my father would not al
low himself to think about it because of the fear
that his sense of injustice would embitter his
whole viewpoint and rob him Of the sweetness,
the kindness, the charity, and understanding
that permeate everything he has written. The
only letters written by my father while he was in
prison were to my grandmother-1ny mothers
mother. These letters were, of course, absolutely
necessary, if the biography were to be complete
She earnestly, it now appears wisely, opposed
giving these letters to the world, which means
that she opposed the biography ITSELF"
We believe the people of the United States will
not condone the chapter that calls attention to O.
Henry's mistake It takes the side of the family
and of o. Henry's friends.

 vas 3,54l ounces, as compared
 with 1,o34 ounces in 1913. The o14 production included 57o ounces of crude platinum produc- d by the placers of Oregon and California, an increase of Al ounces over 1913. Of the crude metal Oregon produced Io8 ounces and California 46a ounces, 4 feature of note p the report is the production of lIo ounces of platinum at the Bs $ gold mine, Goodsprings, New, the metal re- covered being saved with the gold n the ore and later separated.

are willing to spend as much as shall be legitimately required but they want dollars worth of de- fense for every dollar spent on preparedness. It is not believed that any true American will cavil 1t the price of defense, regardless of how great it may be, provided that he knows that he is getting full value for his money. Peace s something that is beyond all price and not even the poorest ,ut would gladly give his mite -oward it's perpetuation if the 'pbuilding of the national de-
 enses will insure that end. But fhe costs must be reckoned with not from the standpoint of a -eckless disregard of how little or how much, but to the end that III unnecessary expense may be ,liminated. The only way that
 his object can be most effective
 V achieved is by striking at the
 oot of the greatest cost factor,
 ,hich is the costs of military sup
 lies. Only by eliminating
 through the government manu- .octure of all munitions and army equipment, all private profit from he expenditures for defense pur- ,oses can any material saving be .onsumated for it is here that the
 oreer portion of the expenditures vill go under the present system. The removal of all motive for pri-
 ate profit from the preparedness proposition is the first essential Of conomy and will also achieve the ,dded object of eliminating all
 'anger of conflict through pri-
 ate interest in war. Until this IS one it is impossible to obtain an unbiased view of just how much ,reparedness we want.
