Hon. Henry NJ. Pindell. Peoria. iii.
Dear Mr.. Pindell: l must ask you to
dental and personal. 1t is up to the ad-
ministration to appoint an Ambassador
to st. Petersburg, but it is a position
which II offered to you would not neces-
ton with your paper.
Now. the idea of Secretary Bryan is
that If you would accept the place Of
An sssaa IT., to st. Petersburg and all
you could resign IN a year-say. Oct. /,
!9lA-and return to your paper, before los.
ing track Of your business affairs, and yet
have the great honor attached to the
place.
There will be no treaties to adjudicate,
and no political affairs to bother with,
for the administration will see to that for
Petersburg. but would have trips to Ber-
lin and Vienna and other capitals of Eu.
rope. and also Stockholm. and perhaps
lights that go with such trips.
You would meet with the delightful
companionship OF the English and other
Officers connected with the various le-
socially and ofhcially treated, as my let
tiers Of those abroad would serve you.
II think you nave little daughter.
Think what 1t would mean to her, all the
remainder of her life. to say that her
father had been minister (sic) to Russia,
and Of all the honor and prestige that will
go with 1t to the third and fourth genera
tons.
IF you will accept this position for a
year, kindly wire me at once. I have had
the Secretary on the telephone and am
writing this letter after the most conf
Dental conference with him.
mo diplomatic matters will be taken up
during your service, and you will have ali
the honors of having been Ambassador
to Russia; but II you accept this position
il must be With the understanding that
you will resign on the first of October,
1914. and then you will be able to. and
no doubt glad to, return to your business
interests in Peoria and your paper.
you will not have to be at the expense
of a permanent residence. as are other
Ambassadors, and you will have in your
family forever the honor that must ac-
company the holding Of such position.
And in doing this you will please the
President. and also your good friend
Secretary Bryan.
"Please consider this confidential in all
its parts, and answer. too.

principally. People began using
it and the results began to show

Every mayor. councilman. city

an important and pressing duty
to perform on Monday, October g
Fire Prevention Day comes on
that date. The State Fire
Marshal is doing all he can 10
make the day a success, but II
will fall far short Of what II
should be unless the local au-
lhorities do their part.
Arrangements should be made
for a fall cleanup, including the
rem oval of all weeds and tall
grass from parkways, alleys,
back yards and vacant lots.
When frost and sun have made
them dry and sere they become
FIRE hazards of the worst sort.
The terrible conHagration in
Nashville, Tenn, last March was
caused by dry grass on vacant
ground to the north Of town. A
spark, or something equally trifl-
ing. started a little blaze. A
heavy wind carried it to nearby
buildings, and in a little while
the city was 10 flames. The con-
flagratiou was not checked until
1t had swept through and reached
a point where there was nothing
left TO be burned.
Let every city take this up and
make preparations for thorough
and Elective Fire Prevention Day.
The State Fire Marshall will be
glad to cooperate in every way
possible.

Let's Get Together.

civic improvements with different
people in Baxter Springs since
coming to this little city, which
has been so abundantly blessed
by nature but somewhat neglected
by man, 1t has been repeatedly
remarked to as that il won't be
possible to get sewers because
the business men and property
owners do not pull together.
Even the city council we are told
IL at logger heads and practically
impotent.
Of course we do not believe all
we hear, but it is very apparent
that there is lack of harmony
in the city affairs that should
not be permitted 10 exist.
We have found that practically
all of the large property owners
in Baxter, the people who would
have to stand the greater part Of
the expense, are in favor OF
sewers and DESTROYS of having
the start made this year. Moth
ing is holding the project back,
apparently, except the inactivity
of the city council. If we are
wrong we hope to be corrected.
If we are wrong, we also want
to be corrected, when we say that
Baxter Springs is being held
back because of the fact that we
have no sewers. Personally we
know of several families who
have turned away from selecting
this city for a home because of
the lack of modern houses. We
also know Others who are ready
to come here and build as soon
as we can give them sewers with
which to connect. We say they
are ready to come if they do not
have to wait too long.
Bickering, backbiting and lack
of harmony have wrecked more
community prospects than We
care to enumerate. They are
the death knell of prosperity in
any town.
And yet we see reputable and
high standing and we'll meaning
business men continually taking
little, vicious digs at their com
petitors in the commercial field.
We see them throwing out innu-
endoes ia the hope of curtailing
the trade of their rivals. We see
them casting yelled reflections
on the business integrity of other
firms who may perchance be more
successful than they are.
1t doesn't pay. 1t doesn't pay
either the man, his rival, or the
commercial life of the community
upon which we all must depend.
Many business men have no
thought of the far reaching effect
of their inconsiderate words to
the detriment of others, but the
disastrous effect is felt on all
hands. 1t creates a spirit of
discord in the community, de-
stroys the confidence of one in
another, and prevents that
cohesion of purpose BY which we
accomplish the greater achieve
ments of life.
We would like to see every man
speak we'll of his business ASSOC
ciates. We would like to SET
them all laboring in harmony in
E commercial union for the adj
vancement Of this tow: and this
community. We wou.l like to
see them all pulling together in
order that the load may be lighter
for each.
We have everything to gain by
such = unity of purpose. We
have nothing whatever to lose.
Are you for it?

BIRD WIGWAGS LOVE SIGNALS
Racket-Tailed Hammer Also May Be
Said to Use Flags to Challenge
Its Foes.

Signal officer of the birds army
corps is the racket-tailed humming
bird. For his duties nature has
equipped him with pair Of purple
flags fashioned out of two long and
peculiar tail feathers. He wigwags his
signals from one tree to another, is
sues his challenges to battle and courts
his mate. When he's not signaling he's
slipping honey from the flowers and
trying to keep his tail from entangling
itself in the briers.
He's midget of the South American
mountains. He has short wings, which
he operates at lightning speed, hum
ming a song with them as he dives into
a flower and comes out again with a
billful of honey.
His tail is combination Of two wire;
like handles, with a purple tuft of
feathers at the end of each. He crosses
them near the middle and sometim es
he brings the pair Of "rackets" at the
ends to his head, as though trying to
fan himself.
The male birds have a sort of love
dance which they engage in during the
mating season. Then they play all
sorts of tricks with the rackets.

A pleasing coat of taffeta, rs plain
rs the mode allows, is pictured above.
It's lines flare from the shoulders and
underarms down with generous full
ness at the back and sides and lit
tie less at the front. Its f1aring is
managed in the cutting, and the fabric
must be wide to accomplish it. There
are plain, roomy sleeves finished with
cuffs with velvet ribbon bordering
them. A wider band of velvet borders
the smart collar, and three widths 81
ribbon adorn the bottom of the coat,
with the widest band placed just
above the hem. There are pockets at
each side of modest proportions as
compared to those which some design
ers feature both on coats and dresses.
A coat Of this kind made in one
of the changeable taffetas in dark
colors (blue and black, purple and
black, blue and green, are examples)
and finished with black velvet ribbon,
or made in a solid dark color, will
owe it's wearer nothing at the end of
the summer and fall seasons. 1t is as
practical as it is pretty, and is usually
made in black.
There are many much ruf11ed and
ruched and plated coats in taffeta,

Odd Watch CRYSTALS.

A celluioid watch crystal which will
be as good as a glass one, and far
more durable, will fill a long-felt want.
Anyone wearing a watch is liable to
break the glass crystal in an accident
at any time. One reason for the 0opu-
larity of open-face watches is that they
are provided with heavier crystals
than the timepieces with hunting
cases, and, unless the cases are extra
stiff, they will give sufficient under
moderate pressure to cause the glass
beneath to break. The celluloid crys-
tai is said to have been successfully
made and used.
