CUT IT OUT.

Unless the senate is determined to waste
public funds at time when money than
is now available is needed for offense and de-
Tense, it will give serious attention to the latest
offer of the Bethlehem Steel company. The
house naval appropriation bill contains a pro-
vision to construct a government armor plant
at cost of eleven million dollars. Prices of Ia
Dor and materials are higher than when the
estimates were made, and it is believed that the
actual cost would be fifteen million dollars at
least Twenty millions have been invested in
private arn1or plants which have a capacity
sufficient to meet all of the governments re-
quirements. The Bethlehem company offers to
manufacture armor plate for the United States
al the cost Of operation, plus such charges for
overhead expenses, interest and depreciation
as the federal trade commission may deter
mine TO be fair. Does any sane person enter
tain the slightest doubt as to what the senate
should do with the eleven million dollar armor
plant item in the naval appropriation bill'

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash It
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much all1ali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. just plain mulsihed cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than the most ex-
pensive soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't pos
sibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out cas-
lily and removes every particle OF dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and it
leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. It is very cheap,
and few ounces is enough to last
everyone in the family for months.

SATISFIED sUFFRAGIsTs.

With their long record of subtlety, not TO say
bunk, political platforms are not to be taken
seriously in all their professions and promises,
but if the suffragists themselves, with all their
experience, are willing to accept the repuoll-
can and democratic professions of friendship at
face value, then everyone else should voice ac-
ceptance, too.
When some of the more enthusiastic suffra-
gists proclaimed a great victory at Chicago and
another at ST. Louis, the country was not much
stirred Since the more solid and sober work
ers for the cause have annos>nced satisfaction
with the platforms, may as well sound the
hail and farewell to organized opposition to
voting rights for women. May the suffraglsts
escape disappointment, and may they make the
most of what they consider telling triumph.

A TRIMMER TRIMMED.

After years Of undistinguished service in the
upper house at Washington, Senator Moses
Clapp of Minnesota will be retired on March
fourth, next, to private life. He helped to
forge the weapon that laid him low, for he was
an early and strong prepayment of primary
elections and has now been defeated in one.
His retirement will be no great loss to the SEN
ate or the country, for he was pigmy in the
seat of the mighty, having succeeded the emf
nent Cushman K. Davis who was one of the
strong men of his time. Besides. Senator Clamp
has always been a trimmer. He has tried at the
same time to be republican and a moose AL
So he voted for the Gore resolution to humili-
ate the president by taking the conduct of for
eign relations from his hands. Evidently Min
nesota is wearied of political hybrids and wants
a big, straightforward and dependable man.

Made Lobster Famous

Richmond Times-Dispatch: II you
are a gourmet, you like lobster. The
man who made lobster la Newburg
famous refused to have his name go
with it. He gave Delmonico the re-
cipe, and Del. gave the. delicacy the
name it bears today, while that of the
benefactor is never heard outside Of
the little circles in which he lived.
Well, the creator OF the dish was
Benjamin Wenburg, New York
broker. He used to take his lunch
cons at Delmonico's downtown place,
not many blocks from the Battery.
When he told Del. how to make leb-
ster a la Newburg-it had no name
then-Dei. put it on his bill and call
ed it lobster a la Wenburg.
Wenburg got huffy about 1t and told
Delmonico IL he didn't remove his
name he would feed elsewhere. The
big caterer reversed the first syllable.
and the title has been what you have
been accustomed to see ever since.

TODAY's BIT OF VERSE

COURAGE.
Because hold it sinful to despond
And will not let the bitterness of life
Blind with burning tears, but look beyond
Its tumult and its strife.
Because lift my head above the mist
Where the shines and the broad breezes olo"
BY every ray and every raindrop kissed
That Gods love doth bestow;
Think you find bitterness at all.
No burden to be borne. like Christians pack!
Think you there are ready tears to fall,
Because l keep them back?
Why should l hug life's ills with cold reserve,
To curse myself and all who love me? Nay
thousand times good than deserve
God gives every day.
And in each one of these rebelous tears
Kept bravely back He makes rainbow shine;
Grateful I take His slightest gift; no fears
Nor any doubts mine
Dark skies clear and when the clouds are past
One golden day redeems weary year;
Patient listen, that sweet at last
Will sound His voice of cheer.

BOY SCOUTS CHARTER.

serves the recognition and protection from IT.
responsible outsiders which the charter brings.
It has earned this mark of distinction entirely
irrespective of the present activity for all semi
military Organizations, for the Boy Scouts
have never been directed in military spirit
nor are they now to be so directed. The great
value of the organization is its wholesome NOR
ais; the things it stands for are of the sort to
make boys better physically and mentally.
Hiking means using eyes and ears to see
and hear things that the city boy is not wonted
to get under his attention. Any sensible disci-
pline is good for boys and particularly good for
American boys. There are two hundred
Boy Scouts and scoutmasters in this
country today and this means something worth
while to the young manhood of tomorrow. Boy
Scout theory puts premium on courage and
general helpfulness, and Boy Scout practice
makes for efficiency in earning this premium.

The children OF Mr.. and Mrs. Chas
G. Wright all assembled at the home
| of their parents in Fountain Green.
,, Sunday, June Is, to celebrate the
golden wedding anniversary of their
parents, the date of the anniversary
having been on March 20, 1916, but
owing to sickness in the family, was
postponed until Sunday. However,
the venerable couple were the recipi-
ents of cut flowers and other remem-
brances, which were appropriate and
to their liking, from their children on
March 90.
The guests took well filled baskets
and the table was spread on the
lawn, beneath the abundant shade,
and Sunday being an ideal day, the
anniversary was fittingly observed.
Each took just the things they
thought most appropriate for the din
ner, and it was surely sumptuous
feast, having been served in cafeteria
style, and regular picnic dinner was
enjoyed by the thirty-three relatives
who were present. The six children
of Mr.. and Mrs. Wright and ten of
their grandchildren were present,
there being four grandchildren who
reside in Kansas City. Mo-, who were
not there.
There was only one thing to mar
the happiness of the occasion and
that was the fact that a grandson,
Charles Ogilvie, was thrown from a
horse early that morning. as he was
getting other horses in from the pas
ture, and his right arm broken, the
bone being splintered and the muscles
wrenched. He was Immediately TAX
en- to a doctor and had the injured
member dressed, but suffered greatly
during the day from the accident.
Chas. G. Wright was the son of Mr..
and Mrs. Hickerson Wright. and was
born at Webster on June q, 1910.
and has always made his home in
this vicinity. He was one of family

girls, and is the only surviving mem.

Marie Antoinetre Hobart was the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Jonas
Hobart, having been born in Carthage,
August II, 1912, in the Eli Williams
property, which was located on the
corner of Fayette and Main streets,
her father having built that residence.
Mrs. Wright is now IA years of age.
The Eli Williams property has stood
on this same lot until just few
years ago, when it was purchased by
the city of Carthage as the site for
a city park, but as yet the work of
converting the same into park has
not been completed. Mrs. Wright
was member of family of eight,
two boys and six girls, there being
two sisters and two brothers Of her

THE LIGHT THAT FAILS.

Acton Davies, for many years dramatic
critic of the New York Sun, died recently in
Chicago. Mr.. Davies attained wide reputation
for his critical comment on New York plays
and was drafted from his newspaper work by
one of the leading producing companies of the
country to act as their adviser. How much
good Mr. Davies has done the American stage
bv what he kept from it cannot be known but
it is not on record that any notable play was
produced as the result of his work. It is an
other bit of evidence of the partial failure of
the critical faculty to adapt itself to construc-
tive work A critic may put a searchlight on
plays that shows clearly their failings; when
called upon to help in constructing plays that
shall not have failings, the light fails.

THE GREATEST DRIVE.

When in the early days of the European war
the Christian missions Of stricken territory
stood their ground, they provided strong ma
terial for controverting of the thoughtless
itaunt, christianity has failed" And all
through the war the mission activities have
been continued as far as military law would
permit, so that when the war ends there will
be no need for any great missionary reorgani-
cation The work being done from the home
offices, too, has kept its pace surprisingly well
For example, the Christian Herald states that
the British and Foreign Bible society has sent
out II ,O59, 617 copies of the Scriptures in the
last year. Since the beginning of the war ten
new translations have been made, SIX for the
benefit Of the tribesmen of Northern Nigeria
The society's translations cover 497 Ian
guages Religion is still stronger than gun
powder So it may be concluded that NUM-
tions factories and thrones are only incidental
in history.

the lust Of gold was not great enough
to retain him there longer than three
years, when he returned, taking the
boat at San Francisco snd coming
around to New York City, where he
purchased his wedding suit Of black
broadcloth, being in the Prince Al
bert style, then took the train for Col
chester where he was met by friends.
Mr.. Wright still has that suit and
appeared clad in the same Sunday,
making very striking appearance
Mrs. Wright has her wedding dress,
gloves and cap, but inasmuch as she
has grown much stouter in these
many years she was unable to wear
the same, but dressed one of her
granddaughter in it. It was made
with full straight skirt and she wore
hoops to hold the skirt out.
Thus after all these many years OF
happiness, Mr.. and Mrs. Wright are
still in good health and enjoying life
and their many friends In Hancock
county sincerely hope that they may
live to enjoy many more years Of
happy companionship.
