"There's Many a Slip"

Few, probably, know the history Of
There's many a slip 'twiXt the cup
and the lip" which is a translation Of
a Greek proverb. Ancaeus, an an
cient king of Samos, was fond Of
gardening, and planted some vines in
his garden. But he was told by a
prophet that he would never taste
wine from them.
Time went, and the wine being duly
made, Ancaeus was lifting a cup Of
it to his lips, at the same time asking
the prophet mockingly where his
prophecy was now. There's many
things between the cup and lip" re-
piled the prophet. AS he spoke a loud
tumult was heard outside, and An
caeus was told that a wild boar had
broken in. Hurriedly putting the cup
down without drinking, he rushed
out to join the hunt against the boar,
and was killed. And the prophets re-
mark, turned into q hexameter verse,
passed into a proverb.

CAPSULES for oiIine Machinery.

The operation Of oiling machinery,
especially where it is desirable that
the oil should be kept from the hands
and clothing of the operator, has been
devised recently in making use Of col
lapsible lead capsules, widely used for
artists colors. druggists products,
paste, etc., in the United States. The
capsules are provided with a screw
thread, which is screwed into an adapt
er, which in turn is fastened to the
part to be fabricated. The lead cap
sule and the brass adapter make a
tight joint, and all that is necessary is
to apply pressure from time to time,
as desired. When the grease capsule
is emptied, one merely unscrews 1t
and puts a new n in its place. No
reflling Is necessary, and the pressure
of the fingers is usually sufficient to
force the grease into the bearing.

"BLUFF" DECElVES NO ONE
Foolish P]retensions of Means Beyond
Command a Stupid Though Most
Common Fault.

Trying to make people believe that
we possess more than we really do is
what keeps most Of us in debt.
It is far better to have a less preten'
tious home, and ever to entertain less
lavishly than our peighbor, than to be
constantly harassed by collectors
whom we are unable to pay.
1t is a foolish idea of living which
prompts US to spend more than we
make.
1t may be that you have never been
thrown out of employment when you
did not have a few dollars ahead.
If not and you are making no prep
aration to meet such a contingency,
the sooner you get some experience
along that line the better.
The earlier in life you learn the les
son which it teaches, the more profit
able it will be to you, and the effect
may not be so disastrous as in later
years.
Other men with just as firm hold as
you have lost their jobs, and it is fool
ish for you to think that you have a
life interest in your place. Better be
prepared for the changes which are
sure to come to most Of us, and never
mind what other folk think about the
a you spend or do not spend.
BE sure, anyway, you are not fooling
them much, for the foolish spender is
always easy to detect.-Chicago Exam

DUTIES OF OUR SOLDIERS
Strenuous Training and Discipline at
the Army Posts Teach Men Love
of Country.

A soldiers day is from the first note
OF reveille to the last note Of retreat, a
writer in the National Magazine OBJ
serves. In the gray light Of daybreak
the bugle calls him from sleep. From
that moment until retreat sounds at
sunset the day is one of strict routine
and discipline.
A rough outline Of a routine day at
Fort Myer is: Rise, roll call, break
fast, room horses, fall in line for drill,
which lasts several hours or until time
for the MONDAY dinner. For the after
noon there are various designated du-
ties for officers and. men, which may
include attendance at lectures, or DEM
onstration work, board meetings, court
martial, training for extra drills, at
tendance at military funerals and
other services, either obligatory or vol
untary. At sunset again comes roll
call, followed by one of the most i'm
~pressive ceremonies CT the day.
The troops assemble, facing the col
ors; the band plays the Star Spangled
Banner as the colors are slowly low
cred, every man standing at attention
till they reach the ground. The sunset
gun booms across the field; the bugle
sounds retreat, and the garrison work
day Is over
The strenuous routine and spirit of
patriotism that pervades post life
teaches reverence for the flag as moth
ing else can do. To the man on the
outside the flag means much, but to
the trained man of the army it is his
colors! He will live for it or die for
it as needs be-and he will do it IN
Questioningly!
And so it is "They bend the bow and
make ready the arrows within the
CULVER"

Stop Talking Politics.

Whether your favorite candidate was
elected or defeated, stop talking poll
tics. While another election is yet to
be held two meeks hence, every voter
knows now how he will vote. Let's
not discuss politics any more until 1918.
1t is very Improbable even during the
campaign and certainly less profitable
after an election. Do not blame any
body for the way they voted. As you
claimed the right to vote as you thought
best, you should concede that privilege
and right to others.

All Honor, All Praise to President Wilson.

All Honor, All Praise to President Wilson.
There are now fourteen nations OF
the earth at war and no power or COM
bined powers under heaven can put an
end to it at this time. Each nation
feels and claims that it is fighting a
righteous war, one for national exist
ence, and for that eason no heed is
given to p%roffers of peace from any
source. Not until the resources OF
some of the leading belligerents are
entirely exhausted will an end come to
the deadly struggle.
The n hundred millions of people in
the United States should be profound
w grateful to President Wilson for his
refusing to be drawn into this cruel
a and at the same time he has pre-
served the honor and dignity of the
American flag. For this reason, if for
no other, the people should elect him
for another four years. The Crisis has
not passed and he is needed at the
helm of the Ship of State at least un-
til the cruel war is over. He has prov
en- over and over again his ability to
cope with the situation.

sAeERRusH OIL.
Nevada Man Has Successful Process
for Extracting II.


The development of a process to
extract sagebrush oil for uses In oil
flotation in gold refining 10 being
worked out by chemists at the Uni
versity of Nevada under the direction
of Prof. Maxwell Adams of the chem
istry department.
The success of the oil flotation pro-
cess in making high extraction
from ores has given it wide field in
this state and the most satisfactory
oil for use in the process has caused
considerable discussion.
The oil of the black sagebrush has
been tried out in several mills ano
has been found to have unusual pow
er as a flotation agent, and after
nearly "a years work Prof. Adams ha'
hit upon a process of securing the oil
from the sagebrush at low cost
The leaves and twigs of the brush
are placed In an alright drum un
der a steam pressure of % pounds Il
| the square inch. The steam is allow
ed to escape slowly through stol
cock into a condenser. The oil Is thel
skinned off the top of the water. tn
process is simple and cheap and al
the oil in the sagebrush is extractet
in about three hours.
The most difficult problem in Sc
curing the oil is the gathering of tn
sagebrush, and means for carrying o
this work are now being considered.

west. This company shipped consid-

Clark and survey of the ore posi-

ling was a decision to embark in TIN
smelling business IN the Butte dis
trict, the old smelter site of Jo'
Rosenthal Colonel Thornton and 9th

In the smelling company Mr.. Clar
was made vice president and Senate

Prof. r. Pierce metallurgist. an
Henry williams, reverberatory fur
mace was installed. The plant wa
increased by the addition of othe
furnaces of greater capacity and ais
calcining and other improvements an
additions were made. Thus was Dor
the old Colorado smelter, the wreck
age of which still is in evidence on tn
slope of the low range of hills to tn
southwest of the city. Up to about
years ago the Colorado plant was i
operation.
One of the early day feats in con
