John Paul Burn, an Albanian.
He won fame and a Carnegie hero
medal in a sewer.
BURN is the man whome the news
papers have told about as receiving a
three-year-o ld-child. The manner Of
the rescue gives the incident more
than passing interest. The child fell
through a surface opening at curb

ers. Burn, at the risk of drowning
and deadly sewer gas, lowered himself
down and got the boy out safely.

Away down in South America, al
most in the very heart of the contin-
ent, sandwiched in between Bolivia
and Brazil on the north and east and
Argentina on the south and west is
located the heroic little country known
as Parakuay. The adjective heroic"
is used advisedly, for when it comes
to patriotic fighting the world must
Goff it's hat to this little republic. If
there ever was a nation that fought
ito the last ditch" it is Paraguay, ana
if there is another instance in his
tcry-modern, mediaeval, or ancient
where a people fought so completely
to the point of utter exhaustion, al
most to extinction, before they ran up
the white flag, it has been rather
carefully concealed In this partic-
ular Paraguay may be said to be about
sui generis.
1t is so far away and so little visit
ed by people of the United States that
perhaps few citizens of the great
northern republic know much more
about this interesting country than its
mere geographical location. Of late,
however, it is coming more and more
iuto prominence and people are be-
ginning to hear something or and to
want to know more about it and its
brave inhabitants and of the struggle
they are making to advance and take
their place among the progressive ma
tions of the arth. In the development
of it's fine natural resources the coun-
try has doubtless Jagged behind some
of it's sister republics, but when you
know something of it's history that
tagging is easil accounted for. An
article in a recent number of the Bull
letin of the Pan American Union,
Washington, throws light upon the
subject in the following manner:
Economically Paraguay is at the
very beginning of things. 1t might
have been discovered but yesterday.
ItG immense possibilities as a food
producer, both animal and vegetable,
are practically unknown and unde-
veloped. Yet Paraguayan civilization,
except from its economic side, is mod
ern and up-to-date. Paraguayan i'm
ports are, generally speaking, of the
same kind as the imports of other
South American countries. The Par
aguayan is much the same kind of
man and lives in much the same way
as his neighbor in Argentina, Uru-
quay or Brazil. With all this, his
country is the least developed of any.
Why? Not because it was the latest
known. AS a matter of fact it was
among the first known. The reason
fer the economic unprogressiveness
of Paraguay is long story, but may
be summed up briefly.
During all the colonial period and
down to it's independence, in 1911,
Paraguay was looked upon merely as

Paraguay Has Made Very Great
Strides in The Recent Years

halfway house to the rich Peruvian
and Bolivian mines. Agriculture, and
even stock raising, was unconsidered
in this era. Argentina, Paraguay and
Uruguay were all neglected. For much
of this period in Paraguay the Jesuits
we're conducting an experiment in civ
liking the Guarani Indians, which
involved accommodation with the
rest of the world. Soon after indie
pendenca came the Francia dictator
ship, ending in 1871. Almost immed-
lately following Francia came the dis
tttorship of the two Lopez, that of
Carlos Antonio Lopez ending in 1862,
and of Francisco Salano Lopez, in
1870. The policy of these dictators
was similar (but for a very different
reason) to that of the Jesuits, vix., to
maintain Paraguay as hermit coun-
try and unknown to the outside world.
So far as the outside world was con-
cerned, the result was the same-that
fol- almost a century and half Par
aguay was a closed and unknown
book At the final defeat and death
Of Francisco Lopez, in 1870 Paraguay
was left PROSTATE as no other coun-
try in the world for thousand years
has been Frustrated. For six years
Lopez had kept up the unequal strug-
gle against Argentina, Brazil and Ur-
uguay. This was war to the last ditch
and beyond. The Paraguayans died
almost to a man. The final levies in
cluded men almost too old to walk
and little boys just out Of pinafores.
They all died, and many thousands of
women and girls fighting by their
sides. At the close of the war Para
quay was almost country of women
alone. In 1863 the population num-
bered 1887 ,4S9; in 1871 the returns
showed only 221, O79 persons residents
i'll the republic. With such history is
it a wonder that Paraguay has re-
NAMED undeveloped? Rather it is a
wonder that it has made the progress
that it has, for after all Paraguay is
intellectually and sociRlly by no
means backward, and even in indus
trial improvement it has much to show
for the As years that have elapsed.
The spirit of the country has never
weakened. No sacrifice for the coun-
try is too great for any Paraguayan
and no dream of future grandeur and
progress is too unreal. To attain this
ideal the country needs outside help.
1t must have capital. 1t must have de-
vslopment, and it must be better
known. At the basis of this develop
ment there must be railway and fiuv-
ial Improvement. The great Paraguay
River is there, with its fine port, As
uncion, the capital of the country, but
its docking facilities are grossly in
adequate. On October IS 1915, the
Paraguayan Congress enacted the fin
al legislation which closed a contract
with an American corporation, Nc
Arthur, Perks & Co. Ntd), to con-
struct new docks and port facilities
which will accommodate the largest
steamers and incidentally reclaim a
large area of land now partially sub
merged and useless. The new ware
houses will have a capacity of some
thing like $4,000 cubic feet and will
haev all modern equipment. Paraguay
is thus getting ready for its constantly
growing commerce, and this is but
one phase of its progress.

HE is a tyrant, cheat, liar, and,
if I have to say it, your honor, the
meanest man God ever gave life to-
She didn't add that outside of that

Looking straight at her husband
who often WINGED beneath the sting OF
her flashing words, Mrs. Sheffield, her
eyes flaming, told the story of her
married life in passionate and dra-
matte terms.
She testified that about all the ten
commandments for married men
which she had propounded were
broken by Sheffield. She said: "He
transgressed about all of them except
the first which reads Thou shalt keep

UNDERHANDED METHODS

Even tho you might favor the sale
of Intoxicating liquors could you, as a
substantial citizen of this state, favor
the adoption of the "beer amend
ment" thru the under-handed meth
ods the breweries are endeavoring to
pass it on. No law-abiding citizen, If
he fully understands the system
adopted by the breweries to gain their
point in this state, will vote for this
amendment. On the other hand he
will mark a heavy black X in the No.
square.
The breweries want the state con-
situation amended to place beer on
the notwithstanding list. A little may
not be Intoxicating but about the
sloppiest, dirtiest drunk a man can
get on is that from beer.
Why don't the breweries come out
in the open and resubmit the ques-
tion on a clean-cut basis, and let the
people vote on a truly Understandable
proposition.

The only men in this state who

those men of the Denver bipartisan
machine, and paid politicians outside
of Denver behind Samuel D. Nichol-
sons candidacy for governor.
And what sort of men and Rpub-
licans are these members of'the Dem
yer bipartisan machine?
They are the men who are Demo-
Gratis in the spring, Republicans in the
fall. They are the men who were
"wets" at heart and in publicly de-
clared statements before the 1914
election, and "drys" in politics, but
not in belief, after the people abolish
ed the liquor traffic in 1914.
They are the men who Joined with
the Democrats to elect Robert Speer,

who now say they will support Cover

They are the men who have not
