Roosevelt Says Do in
 Mexico as Done in Cuba

{. Bridgeport Conn.,. November 4.-Theo- dore Roosevelt speaking at a republican rally here tonight, criticized the foreign policy of President, favored intervention iE Mexico, and attacked "hyphenated citizenship" and Secretary Baker.
 Attacking the Mexican policy of the President, Colonel Roosevelt said that all he asked was that "the United States should do the same in Mexico that it did in Cuba, go in and pacify the country and eventually give its freedom.
 Colonel Roosevelt was making the statement that during his seven and a half years as President not single shot had been fired on or an American citizen killed by representatives of 8 foreign power, when some one in the audience shouted:
 There was no ar in Europe then"
 That's just why I deserve the more credit" shot back the former President T had difficulties with three great pow CTS, Germany, England and Japan, and at q time, too, when they were not at war among themselves and could devote their entire time to me. I showed them 1 was willing to devote my entire time to them, and so we had no war;

On a Frosty Morning

From Good Hunting" by Jesse Lynch
 Williams. in the Scribner.
 But, oh. the fun of those early morning starts! The hurried dressing by candle light; the dark, stark silence of the sen- tient old house; the startling creak of the preoccupied clock in the hall, ticking loudly ticking deliberately. And then the dazzling light and the welcome roar of the cracking fire in the dining room; the even more welcome smell of the cof- fee bubbling on the old black crane; the hurried breakfast devourd with hoy-like talk and laughter. And finally. lighting a pipe, sweetest at dawn" and taking up our glistening guns, we carefully tip toe out of the side door--having by this time. to be sure, thoroughly awakened the rest of the household
 But we're off at last! the long waited moment! Across the frosted lawn comes the cool, sweet breath of the woods. Above the clear-cut rim of the sea comes the inquiring sun. And from far out on the bay comes a untitled "thrump!"-- some one is shooting ducks. We slip shells into our guns. We close the breach with a low clang that is music to our ears and to the dogs. They are unleashed now, they race like mad across the whitened grass. then back again to us to make sure that it is all true-are we really going shooting together again? We are! We are! They leap and dance and lick our faces. They bark and whine and bump their silyl old heads against our gun barrels. For they, too, have been waiting and longing for this moment, understanding all the preparations. cry ing for joy at the sight of faded shoot ing coats, springing to their feet at every movement of their gods.

New England's Schooner Fleet

From "Old Seaports Awakened" by
 Ralph D. Paine, in the Scribner
 The war in Europe. which wrought such dreadful havoc in so many other d. rections. awakened these drowsy ports and called these waiting fleets to hoist anchor. few months and almost all the great five and six masters had van ished from the coast. Then the smaller schooners were snapped up for this gol- den offshore trade. and those that re- mained at home found wonderful har- vest because of the scarcity of domestic tonnage.
 It was like a fairy-tale of commerce, and somehow more wholesomely gratfy ing than the fevered activity of munition stocks in Wall street with their imitation and jobbery. These fine ships deserved to live. and those who owned them had been steadfast in fair weather and foul. For example, there was the six-masted E. B. Winslow, which had been carrying coal from Norfolk to Portland; and she is one of scores whose good fortune has been as dazzling She was chartered for Rio with 5000 tons of coal beneath her hatches and came home laden with man. ganese ore after voyage of seven months Her owners received $1S0.o00 in freight money. or considerably more than the cost of building her, and $l20.000 of this was net profit to be distributed as dividends.
 It soon became commonplace informa- ton to hear that a schooner had paid for herself in one voyage offshore. Those who preferred to sell instead of charter also enjoyed 8 sort of ArG Dian Nights come true. There was the retired skip per of Portland who recklessly bought an old vessel two years ago for s7,000. a tremendous speculation which abJorbed all he had thriftily tucked away in a lifetime at sea, and strained his credit besides. In two voyages this sturdy coaster put s35,0O0 in his pocket. after which he sold her for sl0O,0OO and dared to indulge in the long-deferred luxury of navigating his own cabin catboat.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE STOCK MARKET
Fairly Active Operations Were Noted Last
 Week

New York; November 5.-The most ob- vious feature of last weeks fairly &C., tive market was the preponderance of professional operations, public interest be- ing held in abeyance by impending devel- opments. particularly the political situa- ttion. Speculative specialties and low grade rails were again to the fore, in- quiry for the latter embracing a great variety of issues at substantial gains.
 There were numerous new maximums in addition to those recorded by United States Steel and Utah Copper, but these were the outstanding features by rea- son of the extraordinarily favorable con- ditions surrounding those particular in- dustries With pig iron at premium and orders for early delivery rejected almost daily, it is assumed that higher prices soon will be announced for finished products.
 Dealers Saturday quoted another ad- vance for higher grade copper to be de- livered in the first quarter of 1917. Ne gotiations for another large foreign con- tract are virtually concluded and domes- tic inquiry shows a steady increase
 Investment issues were steady to firm, but the relative heaviness of interna- tional bonds created some irregularity in other parts of that list. The weeks re- sessions in existing war bonds probably resulted from selling by holders who de- sired to participate in the British issue of s300,00 GOO already fully subscribed
 Another Russian loan or credit of $50,- 0c,000 unsupported by any collateral has been consummated, making total of something like s2.00O 100000 loan by Amer ican financial interests and investors to foreign countries, exclusive of South America, since the outbreak of the war.
 It Is taken for granted that gold in- ports which have risen to an unwieldy total. will cease for time. This is in accordance with the desires of leading bankers who regard further inflow as menacing to the stability of existing con- ditions.

Mobile, November 5.-(Special. )-Follow- nathy of F1omaton, of the county solicitor and coroner, Solicitor Norborne R. Clarke announced he will investigate the death of Capt. Charles L. Foster Captain Eos ter was a veteran river man of Alabama and his death certificate gave the cause of death as "Bright's disease" Dr. Ab- ernathy told the coroner that foul play was suspected and for that reason an investigation was desired. The matter was later brought to Solicitor Clarke's at- tention.
 The second annual Gulf Coast fair closed Sunday after attracting large crowds of visitors and local persons since Monday. The greatest day of the week from the attendance standpoint was Fri day. Forty thousand persons passed through the turnstiles and established record. Prominent among the visitors for the day was Gov. Theo l.. Bilbro of Mississippi and a big delegation of coast residents All came to boost the Missis- slppi centennial at Gulfport in 19i7 and made a big impression, and, incidentally many friends in Mobile who will here after be even louder in their praise of the centennial. Perhaps one of the most unexpected developments in the exhibit line was the poultry show. Fowls were entered from points as far north as middle Alabama and also many Mississip- pi and Florida communities. In num- bers of exhibits the show, according to R. c. Moore, superintendent, was a rec ord. q do not believe a similar exhibit was ever produced in the south," he as- serted.
 Congressman Oscar l.. Gray, and lead ing travellers of Alabama, participated in Travellers Day. at the Gulf Coast Fair Saturday. President F. P. Kirkpatrick of Birmingham, and Secretary A. Coke Smith, Montgomery, officials of the Ala bama Travellers association, headed the parade of POO automobiles which passed through the city and later enjoyed the sights at the fair grounds. During the evening big banquet was given at the Cawthon hotel, where the drummers were entertained with dances and songs, as well as a sumptuous repast.

There will be no services next

Services in the Little Cove in the
morning at 1920 o'clock.
In the evening at 7:45 as pre-
viously announced, The Mission
Pageant entitled, "The Kings
Highway" will be rendered in
the Reformed church by the Mis-
sionary Society. This service is
not to conflict with the Union
Lawn Service at the Court House.
We were compelled to have
this Missionary Service this
month, before our young people,
who wish to take part in the SER
vice, will leave for school. We
made the hour for the Missionary
service late on account of the
Union Lawn Service.
| therefore take the liberty to
announce that the Union Lawn
Service will be held next Sunday
evening on the Court House
Lawn. May l suggest that we
get together q little earlier-say,
6:45. That will give US our usual
time for the Lawn Service. In
this way we can all spend a de-
lightful time in prayer and praise
and to the preaching of Gods
word, and thus prepare ourselves
to see how The King Of Kings
entered the heather lands.

Notice to Clean Up.


Officials in each borough in the
State have been notified by the
State Board of Health to clean
up. McConnellsburg local board
of health official received the fol-
lowing notice last week:
August 3, 1916.
To the Secretary
Board of Health,
DEAR SIR:-In view of the
threatened epidemic of Infantile
Paralysis (Acute Anterior Poll
omyelitis) it is incumbent upon
health authorities to insist upon
the most radical cleaning meas
ures in every built up commune
ty in the State. 1t is particular
ly important to have all human
and animal waste and all garbage
handled in a way that will pre-
vent the breeding of flies and the
trailing of putrid substances by
flies and other insects to the food
of the children. You should at
once make a complete sanitary
inspection of every property in
your community, going particu-
larly into the sanitary conditions
of the privies and privy vaults
requiring all pit privies orprivies
with vaults that are full or filled
to within a foot of the top to be
emptied and require the use of
an antiseptic over the vault con-
tents. If any surface privies eX-
ist they should be removed and
the owner should be required to
construct a proper water proof
pit or vault. All stables in your
community should be inspected
and the manure accumu Iating
thereat should be removed at
least twice a week during the fly
season and burned or plowed un-
der. All alleys and cutters in
the community should be careful
ly inspected so as to prevent the
accumulation of filth and danger
Gus drainage conditions. Gar
bage cans should be inspected,
they should be provided with lids
and provision should be made for
the removal of garbage at least
twice a week. If any pig pens
exist they should be placed in
sanitary condition. Any persons
raising or housing poultry or 9TH
er fowl should be made to keep
the property in the best Of sani-
tary conditions.
Unless your municipality is
ready to proceed at once to make
your town cleaner than it is at
the present time, this Depart
ment should be notified so that
we may take steps to enforce the
cleaning. doing so if necessary
with our own forces at the eX-
pense of your local treasury.
Very truly yours,
SAMUEL G. DIXON.
