 In an article called Increase Your Driving Power" in the American Mag azine . writer says:
 Horace Taft. a brother of the for mer president. once told me that he never. considered a man as educated just because he could talk a long time and answer lot of questions about given subject. but that he did consider him as edurated if set down before some hard. unknown subject or task he could in two hours make somethinc out of it. Judge Daly. brothef of Au. gustin Daly. once told me that he and his brother at tue ages of twelve and fourteen years were left as the sole supporters of their widowed mother. That the judge said. I consider about as good an education as . boy can be given"

DEALING IM STOCKS.

kssw Whst vss Are Spying Dsfsrs lnvsstlne Year Mensy. We heas of fortunes quickly made in Wan stresc .of miners who have Accu. muiafsd enormous wealth by . lucky strike of Inventions that have made invsntofs rich, But how many of these instances are there? Just . few. while countless thousands and hun. dreds of thousands have lost every thing in unsuccessful ventures.
 The prosperous. successful man or woman is the one who buys with knowledge of what he or she is buying. whether 1t be a piece of beef dozen eggs. a horse. . house or stocks and boids.
 Money has been made in Wall street and will continue to be made. Those who buy stocks when they sell low and sell them when they advance must make money. The operation Is no diff ferent from buying a house or e farm at . bargain and selling 1t at . profit But one should exercise just as much care In one transaction as in the other
 Have nothing to do with those who offer glittering opportunities to get rich quickly. This win save your money It may sound very nice to say that one owns . thousand shares of gold. oil. yer or copper mine with par value of $lO.OO0 and that cost the holder only $50 or $1OO But what use is such certificate unless It has real value? Better put tue $50" $l00 in one share of . dividend paying stock and be sat- isned with moderate returns and moderate profit on any advance the stock may enjoy.-Leslie's Weekly.

Did Yeu Ever Wonder hsw the Dough

 Haven't you often asked. How do they get the holes In macaronir' Yes. you undoubtedly have. and unless you have visited . macaroni factory you are probably stiil in doubt. Interest. ing methods are employed in bringing this food into the form In which It is placed before the public.
 After the dough has been we'll mixed and kneaded in . powerful machine it is ready to form into. macaroni. which is Of . tube shape about one-fourth inch in diameter. or spaghetti, which is solid stick shape of about One-eightl' inch in dia meter. This is done by fore. ing the dough under hydraulic pressure through a cylinder with . nat circular bronze die or mold at the bottom. The macaroni die is full of holes about one fourth inch in diameter. and each hole has . small pin in the center of it. which Is attached to one side of the hole This pin forms the hole in the macarOni and divides the dough on one side as 1t starts through the hole. but before the dough reaches the end of the hole the divided side comes to. gether and remains 20. making per. feet tube. The spaghetti die contains only plain holes about One-eighth inch in diameter arranged in groups. When macaroni and spaghetti come from the presses or cylinders they are cut into certain lengths. the length depending upon whether the curing or drying Is to be done on trays or by hanging over rods.-Exchange.

TO THE WOMEN OF VALDEZ

From time to time the ladies of the city send out to the mail order houses for clothing, shoes and gloves. While they may possibly save few cents on each purchase, these goods could be sold in Valdez possibly as cheaply as they are outside if our citizens trad ed at home.
 How much each year do you sup pose these out-of-town firms receive from Valdez? Thousands of dollars.
 How much do they contribute to the support of Valdez?
 Not one dollar.
 Do they contribute to the educa- tion of your children?
 Do they help to maintain the police force which gives you protection against marauders and law-breakers?
 Do they give one cent toward the support of the fire department which protects your home and loved ones?
 Do these out-of-town firms give one cent toward the upkeep of the streets of our city?
 How much interest do these firms take in the support and upkeep of the civic clubs. the library, the churches. and other institutions of the city?
 In spending your money outside of Valdez for goods that may be pur- chased here, has 1t ever occurred to you that you are actually tearing down the growth of your city, and maybe working against the interest of your husband, son or sweetheart?
 Women of Valdez, you have shown your civic pride in many ways here tofore. Will you not weigh this ques- ton carefully and devote a part of your time. energy and influence to- ward rectifying the evils of out-of- town buying?
 Spend your money in your own town and you will find that it will come back to you and you will have more to spend.
 Our merchants will be able to car. ry larger and better stocks-mor< people will be employed, and Valdez will grow.

Hoover, according to apparently.
The price Of Cuban raw sugars in
New York on June was $50. On
August % the price was s7.47, an
advance of more than l 1-2 cents.
Tne beet crop coming on the market
in the fall, it is ,,pected, viii beat
down this price. louisiana producers
are not elated over the prospects
of a price of 1885 for the sugar in
view of the tremendous increase in
the cost Of production, which will
hit the Louisiana producers much
harder than it has the beet produ-
Ger, who is about through with his
crop for 1917.
The price Of fuel oil has increased
$50 per cent in Louisiana; food zoo
per cent and labor 25 per cent and
is expected to go higher-fertilj2er
more than 100 per cent; and every
item entering into the production
has increased from 25 to 400 per

they would welcome government
control and price fixing by the gov
eminent, providing a like control is
exercised over products necessary in

EMDARCC PLACED ON
GOODS SHIPPED TO
EUROPE
Only Enough To Feed Neu--
has VIII Be Allowed To
Leave Our Shore

Washington, Aug. 27.-President
Wilson tightened the governments
control of exports tonight by issuing
an order forbidding the shipment of
any goods to European neutrals
countries except under license, and
by extending the list for which
license is required in shipment to
the Allies and neutrals other than
European countries to include cot
ton, all meats, sugar, and most of
Americas other export commodi-
ties.
In statement accompanying his
proclamation the President said one
OF -he first intentions Of the GOV
ernment will be to see that no Amer
lea2 products are made 'the occas-
sion Of benefit to the enemy either
directly or Indirectly" Officials in
terpreted the other as forecastinp a
vigorous use of the export control as
war weapon and policy of the
strlctest rationing of countries con-
tguous to Germany
Exports to Germany and her allies
also are formally prohibited by the
Presidents order, and this is under
stood to mean that the export con-
troll IS about to supersede the British
system of giving letters of assurance
Tor American cargoes Up to now
there has been nothing except the
British blockade to prevent the
shipment of American goods to
Germany. Tonight's order in this re-
spect accomplishes one of the pur-
poses sought in the trading with the
enemy bill pending in Congress.
Coin, bullion, currency and evil
dences of Indebtedness are placed
under export license restrictions to
European neutrals whenever regula-
tlons governing their export have
been promulgated by the secretary
Of the treasury.
