One looked at the work critically, but the other f1dgstted about and seemed in hurry to move OF ox backward or out. Finally his compan. ion needed his discomfiture. Don't like the work. eh?' he asked. "No in. terest, what?" I'm interested bit" answered the fidgetty one. ''It's not the art I'm complaining of. It's this suit I've on. It's new and all that. Doesn't fit; uncomfortable; conspicu- ous; bosh!" His companion surveyed him. "Not at an," he said. "Imagina- tion, pure imagination. Looks we'll, feels bad. That's all.

 Proverbial Wisdom.

All countries have sayings dealing with marriage, mostly taking rather a cynical view. The Italians seem to take fatalistic attitude, for they say, '1n buying horses and in taking a wife, shut your eyes and commend yourself to God" A wholesome piece of advice Is contained in the Hindu saying, "WOmen are wise offhand and fools on reflection-so take your wife's first advice and not her second" The Irish saying is very comforting. "A mans best fortune is his wife,"

Where Yin Is Found,

Tin is found in ores with many other metals and minerals and in Jumps and grains in alluvial gravels. It is found in Siberia, Australia, Guiana and, in fact. most parts of the world, but the notable workings, those which furnish the great part of the supply which the world consumes, are in Bolivia and the Straits Settlements. A large amount bf tin is consumed in the manufacture of tinfoil, tons of which are used an- nually in the tobacco trade, and anoth. CT extensive use for tin is in "silver- ing" the backs of mirrors. In being used in this way it is mixed with cop per. Tin is also used in the making of bronze, brass and pewter.

Leaders in Reichstag Refuse to Accept Government
 Reports as Accurate.

1 Copenhagen, Aug. 25.-The subma- | rlne controversy again has been ! raised in the reichstag main commit tee in the governments efforts to con- vince the members that the unrestric- ted uboat campaign is a great suc- cess.
 Press dispatches, both for foreign and home consumption, have been printed giving in great detail the arguments and statements from Dr.. Karl Helferich, secretary of the in- terior and vice chancellor and Vice Admiral von Capelle, secretary of the imperial admiralty.
 These dispatches, however, careful ly refrain from mentioning the skep- tical attitude of Matthias Erzberger, Clerical member, Philip Scheidemann, Socialist member, and Conrad Hauss- man, Bavarian Radical
 Herr Scheideman took issue with Dr. Helferich, questioned his account of the workings of the unrestricted campaign, and warned the govern ment that it must not deceive itself regarding the effect of the sinkings on England. Herr Scheidemann said that nothing had been brought for ward to change his party's attitude on the submarine question.
 Herr Erzbergtr said that Admiral von Capelle's figures were based on an antiquated assumption, and in no wise were they convincing, and he was still skeptical in regard to the calculations.
 Herr Haussman said that the situa- tion had in certain quarters been pie tured exaggerately as good, and that expectations had been raised all too powerfully

Value of a Smile.

Smile and the world smiles with you. It does not cost you anything to be human, to show by your man. ner that you regard your fellow worker or your employee as a fellow being. A friendly greeting, no mat ter how hurried, is tonic. Take the trifling moment of time for that greet ing. Make the trifling amount of ef- fort. Remember that the joy or the unhappiness of life is made up of trides, just as the continents are made of grains of sand and drops of wa. ter. "YOu can catch a derned more sight of flies with sugar than with vinegar" runs the homely old New England saying.-Exchange.

When Toads Get New Suit.

Toads change their skin periodl cally. It is a most interesting per formance, says writer in the Na. tional Review. The old skin splits right down the back, and the toad proceeds to divest himself of it n exactly the same fashion as a human being takes off a jersey. The old skin, as it is pulled off, is rolled to ward the reptiles mouth, where 1t dis appears, for 1t is swallowed.

RAILROADS PUT ON GUARDS

General Freight Agent Lane OF the
Union Pacific is back from Washing
ton, where he went to look after mat
tiers before the Interstate Commerce
commission. He was there at the
time when the break between the
United States and Germany occurred,
and relative to it he says;

pie had been with President Wilson
before, they Immediately lined up will,
him and the sentiment i'll support
of his war and peace policy was al
most unanimous
Mr.. Lane asserts that while people
in Washington, public and private, arc
calm generally they are expecting war
and preparations looking to this end
are going ahead with great rapidity.
Around the government offices that
have to do with the army and navy
plans are being pushed and so far
as publicity relative to what is being
done the lid has been clampcd down
until there is not suggestion OF a
leak.
Everywhere throughout the cast,
while they are not anticipating the
commission of any overt act, railroad
people have taken every precau,ion
necessary for the protection OF their
property. At the terminals guards
have been located and unauthorized
people are kept out of the yards. Out

WILLING TO DEFEND FLAG

There won't be an unnaturalized

zenship papers continues. The word
apparently has been passed around
that in case of war aliens originally
hailing from countries in the central
powers will be regarded as foreign
enemies.
Omaha Teutons and former sub.
yects of the dual monarchy are max.
ing the greatest rush in the history Of
the local district court to enroll under
Uncle Sans banner and break all
bonds between themselves and foreign
rulers. Hundreds of Germans and
Austrians have taken out first and sec
ond papers since the first of the week,
when the stampede started.
All records for a single day were
broken Thursday when thirty-two
aliens took out first papers and TWEEN
ty-one near-Americans became full

by obtaining their second papers.
Eligible for Army.
An interesting sidelight on the
large number OF aliens who declared
their intentions of becoming citizens
Of this country was that twenty of
them are eligible for service in the
army, being between the ages of IS
and IS. These twenty were questioned
and nineteen of them were willing
yea, anxious-to fight for the United
States. Gustav Karl Schmidt said he

LUMBERMEN GET ADVICE

Newspaper advertising IN which
price lists of lumber are definitely
quoted is what R. S. kellogg of Chi
cago believe in. Mr. kellogg is secre-
tary of the National Lumber Manu-
facturers' association. He spoke Fri
day morning before the convention at
the Rome hotel OF the Nebraska Lum-
bermen's association.
1T is said of John Wanamaker,"
said Mr.. kellogg, that the first day
in business he took in $24.65 and that
he saved the IS cents and spent the
S24 for advertising the business the
next day. But it must be remembered
that he introduced through that ad-
vertising two new principles of mer-
chandising: Money back if not salts
fed and One price to all
Now we in the lumber business in
the United States have not yet learned
to apply these two principles. We
must come to them, however. There
are a few yards in the country that
advertise their stock in this way in
the newspapers, quoting their prices
and sticking to one price. And they
find it a good thing. When you do
that the customers will know what
they are going to pay for lumber and
that system will take lot of the mys-
terry out of the lumber business and a
lot of the suspicion, too.
|
Outworn Ideas.
"You must advertise your stock and
advertise in your papers the price
lists. The old idea was that when a
man wants lumber he will come to
your yard and get it. That is no
longer true. There are other build
rings materials now, and when a man
wants to build, what he really wants
is building material 1t is then just
question whether he will buy lum-
Der or some other building material.
Your price lists on lumber must be
before his eyes in the newspapers"
The mutual insurance department
of the lumbermen's association held
its business meeting in the morning
and heard the report of the secretary,
E. E. Hall. The volume of insur-
ance has increased since the last re-
port by $230,0O0 which is more than
Is per cent, and some $4,000 has been
added since the secretary wrote his re-
port.

we are advised, found the work done,
on the whole, quite satisfactory.
This week, Wednesday, the two
boards are to have a joint meeting at
Buhl, which would seem to have great
potentialities. They are then to go
over the public highways within the
Bull district for which improvement
under a bond issue is desired, and ar
range what part of such work shall
be done by the county commissioners,
in case the county bond issue is au-
thorized at the coming election.
This seems to the TIMES to be a
thoroughly businesslike proposition,
and to remove the last possibility of
cause that anyone within the Bull
district who is really in favor of good
roads, should cast a vote against the
county bond issue. Under this ar
rangement the Bull people will abso-
lutely command the road-building sit
uation. They can realize on the state Is
proposed contribution to the state
highway; they can let the county
build what roads it will at the ex-
pense of bonds supported by the
whole county, including the City OF
Twin Falls; and then they can use
their own bond issue to add to all
this just as much. or as little, as they
shall see fit.
