that consumers would save $25,OOO,- 900 if the five cent loaf were abolished and the ten cent loaf substituted" The milkmen, quick to rally to the cause of an unprotected public are much in favor of increasing the cost of their product so the ultimate con- Sumer can mark up a margin of profit on the family ledger. The coalmen have already preceded the bakers and the milkmen. The gentlemen who sell black diamonds have noted a scarcity in mine production and as result we have with us the high cost of keeping warm for the coming winter. Where this time last year a good burnable coal could be bought for five or six dollars, or at the highest, seven dollars a ton, a much inferior quality cannot be purchased now for an additional two dollars How much the American public will save by this raise in price is anxiously awaited by several millions of people, manufacturers, property owners, hotel Keepers, and the heads of families.

WHAT BOOTS IT?

Married men of Rochester, N. Y., are in a quandary. They do not know | whether to be joyful or sorrowful. Those bearing the name Smith or Jones, however, are seemingly not at all disturbed. over the new city direc- tory which this year includes after a husbands name his wifes name in parentheses
 The boys who were wont to declare themselves as single may look askance at the new Rochester directory There should be no reason why married men should object to this compilation Some years ago, it will be remem- bered, there was a movement started in the nation to make all married men bear some sort of identification. It was reasoned, and with much gusto, that as women who enter the matri- monial state wear wedding rings to denote their state in life so men who ascended the hymenial altar should bear symbol of some kind. The testers marked that any man who had been married long enough carried all the ear marks of the welded state:. The insipid smile, the absence of hair, the longing for bachelorhood com panions, were all advanced as signs aplenty to keep track of the benedicts.
 Rochester may or may not have set a bad precedent. Other cities are like ly to fall in line, to be sure. Direc- tories in the future may be modelled after this one that places the name her husband. But even so! No mar ried man should be ashamed to fess up.

Iron Crowns of Kings
 Made From OLd Cann0n

|: Washington, D.. C., Sept 16.-Rust- chuk, the first Bulgarian town to suf- fer at the hands of the new enemy of the Central Powers and their two al lies is described by the National Geo. graphic society in a war geogra phy bulletin issued today from its Wash ington headquarters. The bulletin says:
 At Rustchuk, where the ROuman- ians fired their first guns against their southern neighbors, the Danube is two and half miles wide. The Rustchuk or southern shore p1 esents a success sion of low hills upon which the rail- road junction city of some 10000 in habitants is built. On the Rouman- ian side the land presents a inspect Of marshes, changing without denmark ation into the pastoral plain which eX- tends in an unbroken line northward to Bucharest, a ten-hour's trip by car riage in the old days but less than two and a half hours by rail.
 The slender, graceful minarets of RustchuR's numerous but now seldom used mosques have trembled to the roar of cannon on many occasions. The town was captured by the Rus sians in 1910 and in the conflicts be- tween the forces of czar and sultan in 1929, 185354, and 1S77-78 it suffered frequently. The most famous attack was that of 1877 which immediately preceded the crossing of the Danube by the Roumanians and Russians on their way to invest the city of Plev- na, where the former took a most dis tinguished part in the successful oper- ations. It was from one of the Turk ish cannon captured at Flevna that the iron crown of Roumania's kings was cast, as a symbol that, like Ger many her place among the congress of nations had been won not by the decrees of majorities, but by blood and iron.'
 "A short distance to the east of Rustchuk is the Roumanian town of Oltenitza, connected with Bucharest by a railroad. It was near this point that the historic migration of the Goths to the south side of the Dan ube occurred during the fourth cen tury when the unknown and mon strous race of savages', the Huns, be- and east. Of the conditions upon which the Emperor Valens permitted the flight into Roman territory the historian Gibbon has said:
 The prayers of the Goths were granted and their service was &C.,

SHINE ON, HARVEST MOON.

This is the time of the autumnal equinox the time of the harvest moon, famed in song and story The queen of the heavens derives her particu- lar name at this time of the year be- cause of the fact that she comes up every evening, thus giving the farm CTS plenty of time in which to harvest. The period of the harvest moon ex- tends from several days before the fullness of this luminous orb until several days after it's lunation It is at this time of the year that sweet into tingling ears, that old loves are born anew, that new loves ripen. Then the sentimental youth sings, Shine on, harvest moon, way up in the sky, for me and my gal"
 Ordinarily, the rising of the moon is retarded some fifty minutes every day,-taking the year through. The harvest moon is the only difference from the regular schedule As- tronomers attribute the cause of this phenomenon to the inclination of the earth's orbit; or the bending of the ecliptic toward the equator. The moons apparent daily motion, in ris- ing and setting, is parallel to the equator, but it's progressive motion in it's own orbit is almost coincident with the ecliptic, there being an in- clination of only some five degrees be-

cepted by the imperial court. The II. berality of the emperor was accom-. panied, however, with two harsh and rigorous conditions, which prudencs might Justify on the side of the Ro. mans; but which distress alone could extort from the indignant Goths. Re. fore they passed the Danube they were required to deliver their arms; and il was insisted that their children should be taken from them, and dispersed through the provinces of Asia, where they might be civilized by the arts oI education and serve as hostages to se- cure the fidelity of their parents. A large fleet of vessels, of boats and oI canoes was provided; many days and nights they passed and repassed with indefatigable toll, and the most stren. uous efforts were exerted by the off. cers of Valens that not a single bar. barian, of those who were reserved to subvert the foundations of Rome. should be left on the opposite shore
 'It was from Rustchuk that Alex. andcr, the first prince of modern Bull garia, sent his famous m 1essage to the czar of Russia, Russia gave me my crown; I am ready to return it into the hands of her sovereign This was when Alexander was on his way back to Sofia to resume his throne after having been forced at the point of a pistol in the hands of Russian agents, to abdicate a few weeks previously, but had been recalled by popular clamor. Unhappily for Alexander, the czar put a literal construction on the princes words, and the latter was forced to sign a second abdication on September 7th, 1886. Thus the hero of Slivnitza, a great battle in which the Servians were completely routed, lost a throne. He retired to Hungary, where, as Count Hartenau, he lived for the remaining years of an eventiul life. He died in 1893 but his memory is still revered in Bulgaria.
 "Rustchuk is an important railroad junction point for @ three prong sys- tenn, one branch running to Bucharest another to Sofia and the third to Var na the leading seaport of Bulgaria, 139 miles to the southeast
 Famous for it's pottery Rustchuk also has soap works, breweries, saw mills, brick and tile works and cigar cite factories It's trade in grain is brisk. The city is situated at the juncture of the Lom Ricer with the Danube. Sofia lies to the southwest a distance of 160 miles in an air line and a journey of ten and half hours by rail"
