Monroe, William Henry Harrison Fay Ter and WiIson-have held the highest of flee in the gift of the nation. Ohio has given six native sons to the presidency They were Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Benja- min Harrison, Mckinley and Taft. Of all the vacations in life the law has furnished the most Presidents Nineteen chief exec utives of the United States were lawyers at the time they were elected. Three are classi- fled as statesmen, two as soldiers, two as farmers and one as public official. Seven teen Presidents have been college men, one was graduated from West Point, and nine had no collegiate education, Englsh batter nal ancestry has predominated among all the Presidents Fifteen were of English extracton Six were Scotch Irish, three were Scotch, two were Dutch and one was Welsh The youngest President at the time of inauguration was Roosevelt, who was 46 The oldest was William Henry Harrison. who was 6S.

STOOD ON HIS DIGNITY

United States Senator Hoar in his auto biography relates an anecdote of Ansor Burhngame the famous lawyer of Detroit who was afterward minister to China. He says; Shortly after Burlingame came into active life he made journey to Europe. The American minister obtained for him g ticket of admission to the house of com mons. He was shown to very comfortable seat in the gallery In few minutes an official came to him and said he must leave that seat, that the gallery where he was was reserved for peers, They are very par ticular about such things there. Burhngame got up to go out, when an old peer who happened to be sitting by him and heard what was said interposed. Let him stay, he said; he is peer in his own country. I am a sovereign in my own country, sir, replied Buringame, and shall lose caste if I associate with peers And he went out. ." -Ex

FANCIFUL PICTURE WITH LESSON FOR US

To stimulate recruiting in Canada, the Toronto Mail and Empire pictured the fate of that country if Germany should win in the present war The Brit ish isles and France would not be taken by Germany the Canadian paper says but the British colonies, cuding Canada, would be seized eagerly. Canada could not defend herself, and the United States would be too busy preparing for her own defense to give any aid So Canada would pass under German control like Alsace-Lorrai Canada would have a German prince at Ottawa, and German generals at the head of the administration of every province. For some years probably the mayors of towns would be imposed by edict Conscrption would be one of inc benefits to accrue There would be only one language taught, and that would not be English or French The streets would swarm with German of- hcers, whom 1t would be eyeryones duty to salute on all occasions, and to rise in theaters and restau~ rants when they entered The people of Canada, not being of a docile nature, might expect many a Zabern incident If there should be any serious at tempt at resistance to the German occupation the Belgian business would be gone through with again. If there are any Canadians to whom this state of affairs would be tolerabe." concludes the Mail and Empire they will naturally do nothing to avert it, and certain ny will not take the only patriotic and prudent step of fighting the danger in France and Flanders"
 The above description may be looked upon as fancfu; and no doubt 1t IS. Yet there little ques- ton that had the German drive on Paris in the sum- mer of 1914 been successful 1t would have been a possibility. Germany, successful over the French and British, would have extended her operations to the New World It does not take much of stretch of imagination to see in German rule of Canada, with its border of four thousand miles facing United States territory, serious menace to our peace and welfare. Whether we would or not, the United States would from necessity become military ma chine just as Germany is The United States desires peace not only with its immediate neighbors, but the world For that reason 1t is arming to defend and perpetuate peace.

NEW FAIRBANKS COMPANY
 UNABLE TO BUILD BOAT

Announcement has been made by the of fcers of the Fairbanks Transportation Com pany an organization formed to enter the local shipping field that it will not build the City of Fairbanks" the proposed new river steamer, for this season. Word has been received from Robert Lavery, the man, ager of the company, who is in Seattle, that the company IS unable to make ocean connections. Another reason for changing the plans is that the price of shipbuilding material is at such an enormous figure that it would not be good business to go ahead at this time, according to the directors of the concern.

GARRY 1T HOME"

In the effort at nation wide econ
omy, no one move will have greater
effect, provided it be systematicall!
and universally practiced, than th'
move to eliminate the expense OF
special delivery of commodities
that has grown to such enormous
proportions in this country.
For many years now the custom
has been growing with the growth
of the telephone service, until in al
most any part of the country if the
lady of the house wants q paper OF
pins or the man of the house needs
a thrasher or an auto, n telephone
call brings one to the door as read
lily and as promptly as the other.
This is peculiarly a modern prac-
tice. Our forefathers carried OF
hauled home their purchases. We
under the spur of necessity, ear
and should do likewise.
There are two angles to the pro-
posed reform that should appeal tC
the public. First, the direct saving
to the purchaser. This, in the ag-
gregate, rs bound to be enormous,
as the expense of delivery through
out the country has grown to huge
proportions. Second, the releasing
for other and more needed service
the immense capital and equipment
now tied up in the special delivery
of merchandise. Thousands upon
thousands Of horses, wagons, autos,
trucks-to say nothing Of the men
and bOys-are now engaged in this
work, which is to a large extent en-
tirely superlluOus. There is Il vital
need in other channels for all of
this force, and it should be released
and made available where it is so
badly needed.
Among the economic reforms
none is more important. Get the
"Carry it Home" spirit. YOU will
profit by it, the DEALER will profit
by it, and the country at large will
be the greatest gamer of all, as it
viii eliminate one of the most waste
full Of all practices.

to live. 1t will teach you how to
prepare some of the supplies which
wounded soldiers and homeless
families lack. It will send to you
through the Red Cross Bulletins the
thrilling stories of relief and rescue.
And best of all, more perfectly
than through any Of your other
school lessons, you will learn by do
ing those kind things under your
teachers direction to be the future
good citizens of this great country
which we all love.
And l commend to all school
teachers in the country the simple
plan which the American Red Cross
has worked out to provide for your
cooperation, knowing as l do that
school children will give their best
service under the direct guidance
and instruction of their teachers.

which you have been looking to give
your time and efforts in some mea-

Dyaks, natives Of Borneo, are ex-
tremely truthful So disgraceful,
indeed, do the Dyaks consider the
deceiving Of others BY an untruth
that such conduct is handed down
to posterity BY a curious custom.
They heap mp pile Of the branches
Of trees in memory Of the man who
has uttered a great lie 50 that the
future generations may know Of his
wickedness and take warning from
it. The persons deceived start the
@tugong bulay the liars mound
BY heaping a large number Of
branches in some conspicuous spot
By the side Of the path from one
village to another. Every passerby
to it and at the same
time curses the man in memory Of
whom it is. The Dyaks consider the
adding to any tugong bula they may
pass sacred duty, the omission Of
which will meet with supernatural
punishment.
