PLANS OF THE l. W. W. CAREFULLY LAID.

 If the tendency any part of the United States has been to regard sporadic merely unrelated the recent activities of members of the organization known the Industrial Workers of the World it will be well to face to face with the realization that the paign undertaken by that aggregation is along lines well defined and evidently long considered People of the sections 6 the United States particularly in those localities where mining is the chief industry. have for several years been familiar with the illegal operations the ntmidating influences and the open defiance of law preached and practiced by origin after the Western Federation of Miners was disowned and outlawed by organized labor Its men- bership recruited largely in the manufacturing centers of the although originally still remains, conglomeration alien unskied labor. Neither the leaders of the movement nor it's members have any alliance. so far is known, with any recognized labor organization.

NEW SCHOOL FOR RAY

In keeping with the prevaelnt spirit in Ray. that there is nothing too good for her citizens and residents. it was decided at a meeting of the school trustees to build a new and modern school structure, provided a marke; could be found for the bonds it would be necessary to vote.
 While Rays school system is one of the best in the county, the number of children of school age has increased so rapidly that the present quarters have become too cramped and 1t Is not possible to give them the proper training. It is planned to ascertain II there can be a market found for the bonds and if a market is found bond election will be called.

CONGRESS AND THE REST OF US.

The nation has long since lost patience with gress And hope is fast dying. Great issues are al stake. Big men ready and eager to go forward with the task of carrying the But their hands are tied by legislature that refuses to legislate.
 Congress is pacidly playing politics. quibbling its rights calling and generally acting fooshly Our surprise and qualification the speed with whch the declaration of and seective conscription through have forgotten in despair the ndif ference and inactivity of congress since.
 Two things may be said for congress. That body is the whole conducting the business of the present better predecessor fifty years ago conducted civil war There less graft right dishonesty today The trouble now lies chiefly the habit of being small. Congress is indif ferent about national welfare than it is time peace attitude is perfectly consistent though reprehensibe in this crisis than in ordinary times
 And there's another thing we need to remember when tearing hair and raving about incom- potency the capitol There is a We that congress Washington We have fosered the attitude of indifference smallness by lack of est in government affairs. Because have suddenly the light and would like get something done we have right to expect congress will change it's longestabshed habits. thoroughly spoiled child does lose its selfwll and sefishness overnight
 Let's make this present farce count for something. after all Let it teach the lesson that in democracy the responsibility rests first and last the people themselves Before they can take an intelligent part public affairs shoulder responsibility effectiveness. the people must be educated Education is the great tool of democracy.
 We may be able nag coerce the present con gress into doing will. But will give any congress the high ideals of we think it ought to until ourselves have developed them through out the nation.

so THEY SAY

In praise of all that ever makes
 Us wretched altogether, In praise of levers, frets and aches.
 Of dull and dreary weather, We sing song in praise of these
 We hymn a while about them, For how would pleasure ever please
 If we should be without them? Without the sky of leaden hue,
 Without the mood of sadness How could we prize the sky of blue Or yet be glad of gladness, For happiness is oft enhanced
 By thoughts a trifle dreary, And misery it's often chanced
 Has put the cheer in cheery. Who dwells where skies are ever clear Their charm is rarely guessing, Whose health is flawless through the
 year
 He hardly knows its blessing; Thus wags the world and often though Our woes we seldom treasure, They help us quite bit to know
 The pleasantness of pleasure.

BRASS AND BRONZE
 HOUSE FIXTURES TO
 BE SEIZED IN BERLIN
German War Ministry Will Ignore Pleas of Housewives
 in Order to Keep Nation Supplied With War Metals.
(By Review Leased Wire)


 AMSTERDAM, Netherlands. July 26 All pleas of German landlords and signs of German housewives notwith standing, the war ministry in Berlin declares that the requisitioning of brass and bronze door and window handles and fittings. in dwelling hous es and other buildings. is inevitable. The measure will be carried out in three or four months time.
 The association of Berlin House owners Societies had sent a deputa- tion to wait on the chief of the par ticular section of the war office con cerned, but all in vain. In place of the brightly shining brass and bronze ar. ticles in which she takes so much pride, the German housewife will have to content herself as best she can with black "ersatz" (substitute) door and window handles and fittings. At least, the state proposes to supply such uniform substitutes, and even to see to the affixing of same directly af' ter the removal of the original articles. If this be not to the taste of those con- cerned. they must bear the expense of replacement themselves.
 Under yet another official decree ex' pected very shortly, all brass and bronze ornaments. grates. lenders, etc, are to be seized for the metal-devour- ing war, while the provisional exemp- ton of requisitioned copper. brass and nickel objects. particularly domestic articles, has been already withdrawn,

Veterans May Protect State.

Despite the efforts Of Adjutant Gen
eral Henry Warfield to recruit volun-
teers into the Home Guard, Maryland
is without military protection, and
with the possibility that something
may occur to demand a force of or
ganized men, it is being suggested that
Governor Harrington call out the only
two bodies of men available-the Old
Guard of the National Guard and Fifth
Regiment Veteran Corps. Five hun
dred veterans are embraced in the
roster of the Old Guard of the Ma
tional Guard, uniformed and commits
stoned by the state with full staff
of officers. } Under the recent law
passed at the special session Of the
legislature, the Governor can at any
time call out the men of these two
military organizations. The men are
all willing once more to become active
and serve the state in any capacity,
and it's is believed in many quarters
that it is only question of time be-
fore such a movement will develop.
Many deem that the executive of the
state would act wisely by ordering
them out before it becomes necessary.

CLAMP is CARPENTERS AID
New Device Designed to Hold Siding
in Place While the First Nail
Is Being Started.

1t is difficult for man to nail siding
on house because he must hold the
board in place while starting the first
nail, as we'll as when marking and
cutting the stock. A device made of
a steel bar fitted to weighted section
of pipe overcomes this difficulty, says
Popular Mechanics magazine. The
end of the bar is hooked up to the stud
ding and clamps the board securely.
The clamp is made as follows: Pro-
cure a piece of soft galvanized steel
bar u by l by 80 inches. Bend it
together IA inches from one end, and
then bend the shorter part to q right
angle, inches from the end. Stud
ding is usually ~ by 81 irehes, and
the end of the longer part of the bar
should be bent to this shape so as
to hook around the studding.
Allowance must be made for the
thickness of the siding-usually B
inch-and IL inches additional to give
a proper clamping force. The handle
is piece Of pipe, Z inches long. After
fitting it over the folded bar, weight
it with about three pounds of lead.
When the piece Of siding is to be
fitted into place, hook the clamp on
the studdng and drop it to bind. 1t
will hold boards while marking and
saving them. For long boards, place
the clamp near the middle, and slide
boards under it.

The camp is more and more assum-

drivers, cavalrymen, infantrymen,
Signal Corps men and many members
of the Medical Corps. not to mention
the big contingent of reserve officers
from Fort Myer, Fort Niagara and
other training camps. There are
enough from the regular army to
spread among all the regiments so
that they may give a decided impetus
to the training of the men.

Kent Island Wins Out.

Kent Island will not become an
ordnance-p proving ground. The War
Department will get all the money it
needs for a proving ground-or for
two proving grounds, if it needs them
but Kent Island will not be taken.
Senator Smith has won complete vic
tory. Both branches of Congress came
to the rescue of the Kent Islanders
The Senate Committee on Military At
fairs, at special meeting, decided by
unanimous vote that neither Kent
Island nor any part thereof should be
taken by the government for a prov
ing ground, and the House, about an
hour earlier, had stricken from the
Appropriation Bill the clause appro-
priating S3,OOO,OOO for proving
ground, because it was generally un-
derstood in the House that Kent Island
would be taken if the appropriation
were made.

Boroday smiled.
Il am exceedingly sorry that you
were put to any trouble about it," he
said. "But as you may understand,

He shrugged his shoulders. The chief
was skeptical of his ignorance, never
the less. He humored what he chose
to consider BOroday's whim. First he
gave him the note which he had re-
ceived by special delivery the day be-
fore. Quick as he was, the Russian
could not quite conceal his astonish-
ment.
"In the aims box!' said the chief.

Boroday passed the letter back to
him.

"And now something else has hap

his desk with his fist-''I am pretty

had a way of twitching. So now he

was politely interested.

TOWEL AND MEDICINE CLOSET.

A good idea for towel and medi-
cine closet or cabinet in two bath
rooms which have common wall is to
divide the one closet space into thirds
literally. The upper third forms the
two shallow medicine closets, back to
back with mirrored door in each
bathroom. The other two-thirds ex-
tend through the depth of the closet
and are used for towels. Each Of
these divisions opens into one Of the
bathrooms.
