Swords for British Soldiers.

Sword manufacturers are very busy
and In Sheffield, England, they use the
old method Of hand forging which pro
duces a more satisfactory blade
though at a slower rate, than where
machinery is employed. Now, how
ever. says a Manchester newspaper
a Sheffield firm of engineers has com
pleted an installation OF plant for
rolling cavalry swords, the first ma
chinery of its kind in the city. Before
the war government factories were
equipped with this class of machinery
and the copying of the design for use
by manufacturers of swords has now
been permitted.

LEADS ALL IN CARPET MAKING
In Volume Of Production Philadelphia
Is Easily the First City In
the World.

More than a third of all American
carpets are woven in Philadelphia,
which, it is claimed, leads any other
city in the world in the volume of pro-
duction. Wilton. in England, has
given its name to one of the most
widely known and useful rugs in the
world. but now the Wilton rug-produc-
ing center Of the world is in Phila-
delphia. Administer, too, gave its name
to a carpet. but It long ago ceased
to produce any of it. Brussels like
wise is known all over the earth for
its carpets, but Brussels does not be-
gin to produce the carpets and rugs
which are turned out in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia enterprise embarked in
the carpet business while Washing
ton was president of the United
States, but 1t was not until more
than half a century later that Penn
sylvania led all the states in carpet
production. AS early as 1871 there
was a factory in Philadelphia engaged
in the manufacture of Administer and
Turkey carpets. China and Russia
send to Philadelphia most of the long,
coarse wool used in the manufacture
of the finest Wiltons.

PRESIDENT HAS PROVED TO BE
ONE OF STRONGEST FIGURES
IN THE UNITED STATES.
USES DIPLOMACY AND FORCE
His Administration Challenges the Re-
soect Of the Individual Voter, No
Matter What the Voters Po-
liticai Greed May Be.

No president of the United States
since Abraham Lincoln has faced so
many dangerous and difficult situa.
tions as has President Wilson. En-
tering the presidency with a vital,
far-reaching constructive and Ameri-
can set of policies to which he and
his party were pledged, he found the
work of establishing the New Free
dom" in America hindered and all
but stopped by the coming Of the
greatest armed struggle that has
shaken the world since the begin
ming of history. He took the danger
Gus Mexican situation as an inheri-
tance from the spineless Taft admin
istration. While struggling against
forces both within and without the
United States to keep the nation neu-
trail, the Mexican situation has been
handled coolly and calmly using d.
plomacy where diplomacy would gain
our end and force where force and
nothing else was demanded.
His has been a wonderful admin
istration in work accomplished. The
tariff pledges made four years ago
at Baltimore have been met, but the
nation for the first time has an ade-
quate currency system in the Federal
Reserve banks that have made the
financiermade panics of other years
an impossibility. There has been a
reorganization of the Department of
Agriculture that has made it an effi-
cient and ever-increasing aid to the
greatest American industry-farm-
ing. Under the leadership of the
administration the country is prepar-
ing to defend herself against possible
aggression and invasion and while
looking forward toward military pre-
paredness, the greater preparedness
industrially and commercially is not
being overlooked.
President Wilson is one of the
strong figures in the United States
He challenges the respect of the in
dividual voter no matter what that
voters political creed may be. There is
no man in the Republican party who
may be said to approach him in abil
ity and Americanism. The Repub
leans are strenuously endeavoring
to draft a candidate and to ignore
the dozen "favorite son" movements
among men OF little strength. The
Democrats are ready and are fortu
nate. Their leader is such by force
of logical conditions. He will add
strength to the state tickets in every
state Of the union.

What a Library Is For.

well expressed. But a small percent.

take advantage of its opportunities.
A stranger in city who has not ac-
cess to clubs finds two places always
open to him-the public library and
the saloons. If he is the right kind of
man he seeks out the former He gets
education and recreation there. To see
the hundreds assembled in the reading
rooms OF public library in one of the
large cities of the West where there
are many transients is an education
in the use of the library. 1t can be
made just as useful to a man at home.
Don't look upon it as a mere place

SOME CREDIT DUE TO HARRY,
Recovery Of Needed Money Could Not
Be Called Altogether an Act OF
Providence.

Three or four years before he was
married he had, in a reckless moment.
loaned to good friend the trifling
sum Of 500. A year later he had be-
gun to throw out gentle hints that he
knew Of good dividend-paying stock
he could buy for 800 a share. But
Good Friend didn't come across. When
he was about to buy furniture for his
new home he plainly told Good Friend
he needed the coin, but that individual
changed the subject. After he had
settled down to the hum-drum of mar
ried life he and his wife often would
speak OF the many nice things they
could buy with that 500.
She was a firm believer in Provi-
dence, he was somewhat infirm. One
day he lost his Job. and the weeks
went by, and he didn't find another.
Then his wife took sick; her mother
came to live with them-things went
from b. to W., generally, and he talked
of shooting himself His wife told him
to cheer up, to be brave, and not to
despair-the Lord would provide for
them. Trust in Providence, she said.
And the very next day, after that little
sermon. letter came to him, with q
check for 500 enclosed.
Didn't tell your" she cried.
Didn't tell you? It's the hand Of
Providence, Harry, nothing else!'
