Why Phone Is Not Answered.

Many people telephone to the post office on Sundays and receive no reply and wonder why they receive no an- swer. The reason for this is that there are no postal employees at the office between the hours of o'clock in the morning and 4:30 in the afternoon and it is useless to call between those hours.

 Mir. Vance recently took a bond of the property, which is considered one of the most promising properties on the Sound. A large amount of devel- opment work has already been done, and as the property is equipped with machinery of the most modern type, with an ample hydro-electric power plant, the bringing it up to a shipping basis will require comparatively little time. Mir. Vance has ample financial backing to carry out any project he may undertake and it is anticipated the property will be put on the list of shippers this summer.

A STRANGE DEIuSION

Prof von Stengel of the University of Munich is recognized expert in international law The other day letter the Dutch Pacfst league, he stepped out side of his special field to make this declaration:
 "The up to date has shown that Germany has been chosen by Providence lead all other peoples We shall march their and bring them abiding peace. For this mission have the force, and also the spiritual gifts, and the of the whole civilization.
 "The whole world, and especially the neutral nations have only means of profitable existence It is to submit to guidance, which is superior to all others every point of view No people has broader higher ideals than we, and no under rule need worry about his rights"
 To this lofty pronounciamento what is there to say? of it.
 There is Belgium. There is Poland There is Serbia There is the Lusitania and the whole campaign of "frghtfuness." There the slaughtered Armenians There the iron ring closing around Germany with the thunder of the guns smashing lines in the and west There is the kaiser who himself used to boast that we Germans the rock upon which God will be abed found the civilization the world issuing renzied appeals his people stand firm And yet the professor of international law is still serenely of he Divine origin of Prussansm and of it's ultimate success.
 One of the most interesting tasks of the future his brian will be the unraveling of the mental pro of German ntelecuas in this period of national lelusion.

NEW WAY TO CATCH FISH

Anybody who imagnes that nothing really in the of fishing has been contributed since the time of Izaak Waon-or least since the time of Grover Ceveland-shoud consider the experience of Hubbard Raymohd of the Lake Keuka (N. Y) Fishing club
 Raymond found that the black bass not biting they should and period of profound reflection hit upon the It the heat. Bass feel the not weather much as We do" he decided. Ana that great truth determined it but step the logical conclusion the way relieve the fishes pre- cisely the way in which humans relieve their summer sufferings-ues ice to cool them off.
 So the phosophic fisherman took big cake of ice and anchored firmly pool where there plenty of bass that had been refusing bite Two hours later he along with his rod and line. and found that the ice had taken effect It had operated fine phy sca and moral bracer The fish energetic ambitious and hungry. They leaped for the bait. Within few minutes he caught several old fellows that had been ouding him for months, and he had all the bass he could carry.
 Other fishermen may carry the idea still further Why for instance shouldn't the cold hghball cock idea be applied to piscaora strategy? Not any honest fisherman would dream of undermngng fish's sobriety But why cold bait? Why offer the sweltering fish luscious worm or bug or a tadpole frozen in a little chunk of ice?

BUYING ISLANDS

The Danish West Indies worth, to the Danes considerably less than nothing. If we were the only bidder the market they could well afford to us for taking the islands off their hands.
 Their entire area is only 1SS square miles. That is to say, the islands together about big as Philadelphia and smaller Chicago New Orleans. Their total commerce sas much that of moderately busy department store in large American city They don't produce much except sugar, and much of that as several individual plantations Cuba Their social political and business life have been running down St John has been abandoned by white St. Croix fertile attractive, but backward and the black labor problem is considered hopeless St. Thomas is wilderness with a border of barren hills but has good harbor.
 That harbor seems to be the only thing about them worth having And it is desirable less need than because don't any other power to get it and it a naval base to threaten Porto Rico, which nearby, and the Panama canal, which is 1000 miles to the west.
 Whether it is worth whiel to pay s25OOOOO0 for in against that danger is open question: It looks like lot of money to pay little harbor We have paid much any slice of territory added to our possessions
 The great Louisiana purchase" comprising S2S 900 square miles richest America only s1544OOO0 Florida s5OOOOOO; Alaska, with its 5eO,OOO square miles, s72OOOOO; the Hawaiian Islands s4OOOOOO the 529OOO miles got from Mexico $S,25O 900; Philippines 115OCO square miles in gether with Porto Rico and Guam $2OOOOOOO and the valuable Panama canal strip s1O,OOO,OOO.
 Our statesmen for than half century have wanted buy those little Danish islands At first they seemed especially valuable key the West Indies and a halfway station to South America. Then we had harbors in Cuba Porto Rico and Panama. Now they may be especially valuable because Germany or other possible enemy wants them But is it really possible any nation pay s25OOOOOO for them? Isn't Denmark simply trying to hold us up?
