Everyone Who Has Supplied
Candy for Charity Bazaars
Will Pluck UP Courage At
the Story of One Woman
Who Has Made the Occu-
patton Famous.
Following the Examp | e
of Syracuse's Noted Mary
Elizabeth. Agnes Nc
Quade, of Nearby Utica,
Started Off In Business
For ,Herself-All For a
Wooden Leg.

n n ISIS AGNES McQUADE. Of
M Utica. N. Y. is to be one OF the
state hostesses on October II
at the suffrage booth in the
Electrical Exposition and Motor Show
OF 1917. Miss Mcouade has a candy fac
tory. and her bonbons are a household
word through central New York. She
and her sister. Miss Katherine Nc
Quade. make their candles in their own
back yard-to be exact. in the house,
hold barn-for as their business grew 1t
advanced by easy stages from a corner
Of the paternal kitchen to a made-over
section OF the barn.
This Is the simple tale Of the way two
girls inheriting educated culinary tastes
from a mother who was wonderful
cook came to be business women. They
lived In a house on Genesee street in
Utica, which 10 quite the right place
to live. They were just society girls
OF Utica's very best. and they made won
derful candy to amuse themselves and
treat their friends. They made contri-
buttons Of these candles to church
socials and charitable bazaars. just the
way thousands OF girls do. Only the
McQuade candy always attracted
great deal of attention and surprise
Then IL happened that Miss Agnes NC
Quade wanted to help a poor boy who
had lost his leg In an accident. HOW
could she buy wooden leg which
couldn't be had for less than $50? be-
came her thought by night and by day.
Ii the boy could only get his leg he
could earn his own living.
While $3.50 is not very big capitai
To sink In starting some one off on
the road to independence. yet who
was to give II to her? Then MISS
Agnes McQuade thought of her sis-
ter's candy that had been given away
so Iavishiy throughout Utica, and
Miss Katherine McQuade readily
agreed to sell enough candy to BUY
the boy his wooden leg-if she could.
"The earning of the money for the
leg fs very essential point. In the.
history OF the candy" says Miss AZ
mes, 'because without that bit OF bust
ness experience we should never have
had sufficient confidence to put the
product on the market. II naturally
happened that the people who had
been buying candy for the sake OF
the wooden leg became addicted to IL,
and we Just fell into the habit OF
So the candy factory all began with
some simple recipes handed down
from mother to daughter, and with
kind of candy instinct, as II were. Yet
IL was the kindly deed and the wood
en- leg that actually brought the
business to pass. Now "the plant
has grown and grown until II Is as
much as the two sisters care to do

Voices of the City.

These are the voices OF the city
Mounting to Gods listening skies.
Stealing down the crowded street ways
In a manifold disguise.
Hear the voices of dominion.
Summoning a world to bend
To the gods of gold and power
Where the smokes of toll ascend.
Hear the voice Of fame that reaches
To the hamlet's twilight peace.
To the plainsman's slanting shelter,
with a call that does not cease.
Hear the voice whose word of welcome.
Half in truth and half In Jest
Rides the white Atlantic surges
To the homes OF lands oppressed.
Hear the voice OF hate that whispers
Down the alleys through the night,
Up the marble walls and inward
Where hands lift the steel to smite.
Hear the voice OF love like music
Run the serried streets along;
From the howell to the palace
Hear love sing the city's song!

To American eyes II Is a startling

whole windows full of bonnets and little

Some of the bonnets Of course are

OUR GOLD SUPPLY ENORMOUS
Metal Stacked In Nations Vaults very
Much Like Sacks Of Grain
In Granary.

Our country has within its vaults
as much gold as France and Russia
combined-the two European ma
tons that have striven the hardest to
build mammoth boards of the yellow
metal. 1t has as much as Germany
and Great Britain together, with all
other belligerents, except France and
Russia, thrown in.
But that is not all, says a writer
in the Saturday Evening Post. Out
side of Russia, which produces less
than one-third as much gold as the
United States, every European coun-
try is absolutely dependent upon the
rest of the world for its gold supply,
whereas this country yields up from
its own mines one-ffth of the en-
tire worlds supply-or more than
any part of the earth except South
Africa.
Last year we sucked in more than
S400,00O,O 600 of the yellow metal
from the various nations that for
years had been engaged in a fierce
scramble for it. In our bank vaults,
clearing houses, assay offices and
~subtreasuries gold is stacked like
sacks in a granary.
The San Francisco mint alone re-
ceiVed in seven months $4,000, 900
in gold from Australia, Japan and
China. In four months more gold
flowed into the country than in all
of 1908, the previous banner year.
1t would take the largest force of
men that e worked at one time
just to pick out the gold in Uncle
Sans treasures. There is more of
it in the mint at Denver than was in
the whole world so years ago. At
one time the building held $780,
000, 900 in gold alone.
If gold is in any sense a financial
protection, this country has massive
bulwarks against the possibility of
shock. Its bunkers are full to over
flowing.

FRANCISCO VILLA

The recent apparent elimination of General Fran cisco Villa from the scenes of turbulence in Mexico by means of an agreement entered into by the subor dnates of that worthy and those of his successful opponent Carranza, may may not prove to be lasting. It is persstenty rumored that he has de- clared himself dissatisfied with the terms ot the agreement, and stranger things have happened than that Villa should succeed in raising another force to give battle to his enemies But there appears to be little chance of success for new Villa revolution That more will be heard of this most interesting character in the Mexican muddle IS certain. A man of mystery, little of an authentic nature has been published with reference to him, and much that was plainly fabrication. A recent newspaper sketch which bears the mark of authenticity says of him:
