we are now entering upon our fif-
teenth year of continuous business
in Durant.
We still number among our most
valued patrons those who patronized
us when we first began business in
your city. The furniture business Is
somewhat different from other lines
of merchandise. Furniture dealers
are often tempted to sell cheap ar
ticle that will bring n large profit,
than to sell a good substantial ar
ticle that will require more effort on
part of the salesman. and not yield
any larger profit The better grade
OF house furnishings will naturally
cost the customer more than the in
ferior grade, hence will require more
effort on the part Of the salesman
to sell the better grade of goods,
while in competition with the cheap
and inferior grades.

OUR SUBMARINE DISASTERS.

While the casualties in the blowing up
of the United States submarine E-2 at
the dock in the Brooklyn navy yard were
not as numerous as first reported, the
occurrence nevertheless is so serious that
it calls for most rigid investigation.
! There are two reasons why there should
be most searching examination, the
first being to settle once for all, if pos
! sible, whether or not any hostile act was
responsible for the explosion, and, that
theory being entirely thrown out by the
findings to determine the conditions of
the interior of one of our most efficient
under-sea boats which led to the igni-
ton. This is the second catastrophe to
an American submersble boat In year.
So frequent are the explosions coming to
be on this type Of war vessels that the
most expert knowledge should be brought
to bear to determine what defects, IL
the motive materials. Submarine service
is now recognized as one of the most
powerful adjuncts of navy. and the
United States is notably behind several
other nations both as to the number OF
boats and as to the efficiency Of their
operation. The United States cannot af
ford to be backward in this respect any
longer. The submarine ought to take its
rightful place in the navy. That, how
ever, ia not possible If defects OF con-
struction or mistakes in the use of equip |
ment and materials are to continue. We
should learn at once if there are any de-
feets which might be eradicated. The
position of the E2 in dock makes it
much more easily possible to determine
this than it was in the case of the "a
which went to the bottom of Honolulu
harbor last winter. i.

Park Theatre.

Miss Blanche Sweet who makes her
appearance as the star in the tense photo
/ drama, "The Secret Orchard" has a
part teeming with lovely feminism, ro-
mantle moments, tragic realities and
human pathos. THE Secret Orchard" in
novel form by Agnes and Egerton Castle,
was the most widely read book in Amer
lea few years ago. Claiming Pollock
wrote the play from which the picturiza-
ton Is made and it was one Of the most
popular plays by this dramatist who
writes for the great mass OF theatre
goers.
Daughter Of one of the stars OF the
Partisan Demimonde. the heroine of
the Secret Orchard" carries from birth
a hidden faint of character, the more
her nature and the beauty of her person
atty. From a convent in which her
mother, who had died, placed her as a
child to escape the environment of her
parent, the girl steps into the world
ignorant of her hidden weakness. In
nocently, she falls victim to Duke OF
Cmny, whose wife, unknown TO the
duke, had promised a home to a mother
less girl. When the ward of the ducb-
ess confronts the duke, each repress rec
ognition so as to save the duchess, but
when the young woman finds her real
lover, an American naval officer, the |
truth is told.
The subsequent stirring scenes are
brought to happy and reasonable con-
rlusion. See this to.night.--adv.

Portland Cement.

In the manufacture OF portland

kilns in the form OF hard, black, semi

pulverized this clinker becomes a gray.
ish powder, which Is the familiar ar
ticle of commerce employed for great
variety Of purposes in practically every
type of building construction. 1t has
long been known that the flneness to
which the cement is ground is one Of
its most important characteristics, and
consequently specifications require that
80 per cent or more of commercial
cement shall pass through No. 200
sieve, which has 10000 openings per
square inch. This is the practical
limit of mechanical sleeves in respect
TO fineness, for although finer sleeves
can be manufactured the necessary
uniformity In size of openings cannot
be attained. 1t is well known, how
ever, that the minute particles OF
cement, which are just capable OF pass
ing through the openings of No. 200
sieve, are still too large TO be of value
as cementing material when mixed
with water. Hence the really valuable
portion OF the cement consists in the
extremely fine powder, the amount of
which can only be inferred from the
sieve test.

Those colleges which find fault with
the other institutions that allow "sum.
mer ball playing" have much to answer
in the charge of proselyting among ath-
letes in the preparatory schools, a
"crime" far worse than allowing man
to earn his way through college by his
ability to play baseball. 1t is rank hy-
pocrisy to take holy attitude on the
summer baseball question and still main
tain clandestine systems of getting star
athletes from the preparatory schools
away from some great rival. That such
latter practices are followed is the opin-
ion of Sol Metzger, well known college
athlete and now writer for the public
press. A court of inquiry into this real
evil of college athletics ought to be es-
tablished at once.

Sacred Mushrooms,

The sacred mushroom" of the Az
tees, which was called by them teona-
niacatl and used as an intoxicant, was,
according TO investigations recently re-
ported, not mushroom, but the mar
cotic cactus, Lophophora wiIliamsii,
now well known for its use by the
American Indians In religious ceremo-
MES. 1t is popularity called ''mescal
button, though better name is peyote.
Early writers on Mexico described it as
a mushroom, and this notion as to its
botanical status still survives, The
mistake is due to iye fact that in one
of the two principal forms In which it
is prepared the head of the plant is
cut or transversely, and when dried
it bears close resemblance to mush-
room In its other form il is cut longi
tudinally or in irregular fragments and
was described by early writers as raiz
or devils root"
