FELL FROM LOFT:
HURT; THEN WELL
How Man Who Landed On Wood
Pile And Was Sore From Head
to Foot Found Quick Relief.

Once upon time Edwin Putnam,
who lives in the quiet, pretty hamlet
of Wendell Depot, Mass, climbed up
into a loft to get some building ma
terial. just as many another man liv-
ing in the country must often do. Sud
denly he slipped and fell. Ten feet be-
low was pile of wood, knotted and
gnarled. 1t was a nasty tumble, and
Mr.. Putnam was injured painfully in
the back, he was covered with bruises,
and was sore from head to foot.
The next day he bought bottle of
Sloan's Liniment which had been re-
commended to him. Within very
few hours the soreness had vanished
and the lameness had disappeared. He
was an active man once more.
Sloans Liniment can be obtained
at all drug stores, Csc, soc. and $1.00.

One woman voted for Hughes, New,

"The best man in the country" An
other could not decide on her presi-
dental choice. She marked both and
then voted straight Republican. She
was for Taft in 1912.

Many Ballots Mutilated.
1t was evident that most of the WON
en- were first voters. Most of them
said they were and proved 1t by
mutilating their ballots Instead of
marking strictly within the square op-
posite their selections, some OF the
voters marked lines through every
candidate they did not want, some
struck off candidates they did want,
some checked their choice before and
after the name and many avoided the
little square entirely.
However, about IS per cent Of the
ballots were substantially correct in
form.

annual report; and the rest OF its
functions seem to lie in depressing
with a stern hand any invention bob
5ing up from Unhallowed or civilian
sources.
These services it has been con-
sCientiously performing since 1888.
Three years before that a wonder
full thing had happened in this cOun-
try. Some persons woke up to the
fact that pop guns and toy forts
wouldn't defend us against modern
military science. They did, and they
made such a fuss about it that the
famous EndicOtt board was appoint
ed to hit out a plan for something
better than pop guns. And this
board of ordnance and fertilization
was one Of the results.
Originally it was composed of the
commanding officer of the army and
officers from the ordnance branch,
the engineers and the artillery. The
idea was to improve the national de-
tense and sUperintend the spending
Of the appropriations of congress for
that purpose.
There was something else brewing
at the time, and that was the general
complaint that no military invention
ever got the slightest attention from
the war department unless it was the
work Of a regular army officer.
But the board, as at first made up,
was all army officers, and very soon
the inventors were saying that things
were not much better. They said in
ventiOns were in the hands Of a clique
and always would be so long as army
officers alone had the say about
them.
So in 1891, as the result of much
kicking, congress ymended the act
and added to the board a civilian
member, to be appointed by the pres
ident and confirmed by the senate.
The intention was that the civil
ian was to be an engineer and one
that knew about inventions and guns

The first time this place for a party

LIBERTY NIGHT.

IT. CELEBRATE the permanent illumination Of the Statue Of
Liberty the city will enjoy tomorrow night one of the most
brilliant spectacles it has ever witnessed.
Amid a dazzling play Of searchlights from men-of-wsr, through
lanes Of illuminated ships and yachts, tho President Of the United
stata will sail up the harbor and give the signal to turn upon the
famous statue q flood Of light that shall henceforth irradiate it
through tho darkest night. Meanwhile the streets and buildings Of
Manhattan will blaze in honor.
The public has special reason for pride and pleasure in the occa-
sion. Just as the pedestal of the statue was built thirty years ago
from small sums contributed by thousands Of Americans, so now the
great figure is to be superbly lighted, not by subscriptions from the
rich, to whom the money is nothing, but by the help Of pennies,
nickels and dimes collected under the auspices Of The World from
men, women and children who love the statue and what it stands for.
Following so closely upon Thanksgiving, the illumination of
Liberty takes on an extra and happy significance. Who in this
country could turn the light on anything for which thankfuness
should glow day and night in more human hearts?

THE CIRCLE.

~ HE farmer and the ordinary citizen keep their money in banks
The farmer sooner or later sells the product OF his toll to
some sort Of middleman-quite frequently upon consignment
or credit. The middleman takes care to buy when tho farmer must
sell at tho lowest price.
The middleman receives the farm products and stores them in .
warehouse. The warehouseman issues to him a certificate which
the ~middleman takes ~straghtwsy to tho bank-the place where farm
cs and plain citizens keep their savings. At the bank the warehouse
certificate, representing tangible property, becomes collateral for
n loan. With this loan the ~middlcman reimburses tho farmer, while
the warehouse retains the goods until the consumers need Of them
becomes so pressing that the highest price can be eIacted from him.
If the money Of the farmer and the ordinary citizen could not
be obtained in this manner, would both be whipsswed by the middle
man with the present dizziness and facility?
As things are now, producer and consumer furnish the means for
their own undoing. Break this circle and you put a stop to a big per
centsge Of unnatural fluctuations in the price Of farm products.
