TAYLOR TRITE TRUTHS


In no Democratic report Of the pro-
ceedings Of the Democratic state Com
mittee at Parkersburg have We seen
any extension OF the remarks made by
Mr. c. Burgess Taylor. OF this city.
Saul was among the prophets when
Mr. Taylor ventured to give the as.
sembled representatives Of the State
Democracy some good advice. Ne 40
vised them TO steer clear OF duplicity.
and wisely admonished against COM
hitting themselves TO the time worn,
stereotyped denunciauons that have
been the stock in trade OF the party
from time immemorial. Particularly
pat was his observation that the Dem
ocratic party in West Virginia could
not win on a destruction program. and
adding:
1--WE must provide for construction
Instead Of destruction. Your denunci-
alton Of extravaganza and such things
will prove an irrideseent dream. No
matter which party is In power. the
expenses Of the state and the amount
IL will be necessary to raise by taxa
ton will never be less than they are
today"
Coming nom a Democrat. these
words are suggestive OF what is run
ming through the minds Of the think
ing. intelligent element OF the people
There was a need Of more revenue
when the legislature of 1915 met, but
the Democratic minority in that body
voted solidly against all propositions
OF Republican origin providing for that
need without suggesting any remedy

Building a RattIeship.

Do you know how many hours work It takes to build modern dread naught? Probably you have never giv- en the matter thought, so it will in- terest you to learn that a big battle; ship entails about z, 100000 man hours, or labor equivalent to the work of one man working that tirac.
 The making of the turbine machinery absorbs some 1,S50,OOO man hours, and the mountings of the big guns can easi- ty acquire two years work, while sin gle armor plate may take nearly three months to finish. None of these proc tsses can be unduly hurried, as the very best work must be put in, the least scamping making all the differ ence between victory and defeat.
 Between 40 and 90 per cent of the cost of dreadnaught's hull goes in la Dor. Curiously enough, fat less is spent on labor when constructing a turbine engine than when making one of the old reciprocating type. Much of the material is made by machinery, leav- Ing only 2S per cent of the cost for la Dor, whereas 45 per cent went in wages when the older kind were in use.-Lon- don Telegraph.

BANOMEN EXPECT ORDER TO BORDER
 WITHIN 10 DAYS.
What Is to Be Done With Yale Men Remains In Doubt
 Reports Conflict.

Members of the Olympic band, now the Tenth Militia Field Artillery band with the Yale batteries at Tobyhanna, Pa, are excited by a report that they are to be sent to the border within 10 days. No definite reports concerning the disposition of the Field Artillery at the Pennsylvania training camp can be had but officials of Yale college believe the Yale batteries will be mustered out by Sept. 1 or Sept. IA at
 the latest and the guns and equipment 1 turned over to the war department. The following statement was given out at the college at New Haven yes terday:
 "As a substitute to the Yale batter ies, which is to be discontinued as a unit of the Tenth Field Artillery, an l officers school Is to be established at Yale University, it was announced yes- terday. Loeut. .-Col. R. M. Danford, commanding, Tenth Field Artillery. will be in charge of this school. When the batteries come back from. Toby
 hanna next month the guns. horses and other equipment will be turned over to the war department.
 "Whether the Yale armory will be built under the gift of funds made by Yale alumni could not be ascertained yesterday"
 This statement, which rather. con tradicts the one above, was sent out yesterday by a newspaper correspond end at Stroudsburg, Pa:
 While nothing can be learned off, cial1y, the impression prevails at the
 Tobyhanna, Pa, artillery camp of in-
 struction that the Yale batteries now
 being put through their military paces
 here will within ten days, be ordered to the Mexican border for service.
 There are now in camp 1,050 men
 and officers. including four Yale bat
 teries, Batteries E and F, Battery A of
 Maryland and Battery c of New Jer- .sey.''
 Stroudsburg is ten miles from Toby
 hanna, and far and away from the
 zone in which military officers exer-
 else the powers of provost marshal and censorship, hence the dispatch got through. The correspondent quotes no authority for his message.
 While it was announced from the war department some time ago that all college men in the National Guard would be mustered out of the service in time to resume their studies this fall, and this will of course include the Yale batteries, the. other hand Connecticut military. men are inclined to the belief that Batteries E of Bran ford and F of Stamford will be kept in ! the service and sent to the border sooner or later with Maryland and New Jersey batteries now with them at Tobyl1anna.
 This means also that members of l the band will be retained and sent | along. The diniculty in finding must clans to enlist as bandmen has been overcome by detailing men from the | different batteries who are able to play some instruments. The band now has 2S members besides Leader A. S. Lee and is practising daily. Lieut.. l Col. Danforth has intimated that Bridgeport win be the home station of the band after it returns from the border.

MERIT OF .WILDERBS' STAMPS
 SUCCESS THROUGHOUT COUNTRY
Prominent People Everywhere Get the Procession sa Boosters! [

'Wilderbs'' oriumph is nearly com
 plete In all sections of the great
 west the name "wilderbs" is as much of household word as is pr. Pierce's
 Favorite Prescription, one of the doc
 tors first achievements. Although the
 introduction of "Wilderbs'' Gull ex-
 tract) is just commencing in New
 York, Bridgeport, Hartford, New
 Haven and Boston. it is already meet
 ing with tremendous popular favor.
 So successful has been the introduc- ton of this Miracle Medicine" as it
 is termed. in other cities thao it's fame has spread to these sections and the
 demand to these sections and the demand for the preparation has al- ready been great. The introduction of wilderbs" tfull extract), in these large eastern cities was necessarily withheld for several months. because of limited laboratory facilities. The laboratories were kept busy night and day to supply the great demand created in large western cities. Cleveland. Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis and Louisville taxing their capacity to the utmost. However, laboratories have been added to the already large man. ufacturing space, so that now they are amply able to take care of the new demand from the east which is bound to be created.
 T. S. Jackson, who is pr. Pierce's Health exp rt and who is holding pub- lie receptions daily at Hindle's Main and State street store. in the course of one of his lectures, said sWilderbs' success is due to only one thing merit. In it's full strength form 1t is indeed powerful and goes direct to the root of the trouble. When I first came to Bridgeport told the people that had a medicine of extraordinary merit. I don't believe there is man pr woman in Bridgeport today who after having given 'Wilderbs' a fair l trial. will gainsay this statement"
 The thousands and thousands of people everywhere who are taking this Super Tonic" are de- irving most beneficial results from | it's use. "Wilderbs'' Gull extract) is | winning hundreds of new friends 1aily. Its popularity is destined to become still greater as time passes. |

places will be provided. parking places. and a system of land lights so that an aviator at night will know what state he is over, and the location above the state. Ltf'
 It is found in the European War that the automobile and motor truck play as important parts as the rail- ways. The aeroplane has created for itself possibly more important place in warfare. A system of good roads criss- crossing the country like spider web, and dotted with automobife and aeroplane stations, would, therefore prove valuable from military stand- point.
 So that all the features of value in war times will be incorporated in the buildings, the War department has detailed Maj. Carl F. Hartmann to CO., operate in the work.
 To build public comfort station such as this plan calls for, will cost approximately $10.O00. For the small towns and cities, a less expensive building is contemplated, but which contains all of the elements found necessary to make station safe and sanitary. By the. clever working out of this plan these stations will be not only self-supporting, but will pay for the cost of construction within 10 years. That means that a city builds station, owns it. outright, and out of the receipts from the pay privileges pays back the loan to itself. It is not a charge upon. the community, but a good paying investment in dollars. de- cency and health.
 J. J. Cosgrove is director of the pub lie comfort station bureau, the cen tral body with which the various na- tional associations are cooperating { The campaign for public comfort sta- tions belongs to no one. however, but is great general uprising for con- veniences so long needed and equally long denied. Societies and individuals are invited to cooperate in the work.
