To permit the employment Of agents

and at the same time prohibit the en-

good business, good public policy, nor

Begin Each Day Anew
(Susan Coolidge)

Every day is fresh beginning,
Every morn is the world made nev.
You who are weary of sorrow and
SHINING,
Here is a beautiful hope for YOU
A hope for me and hope for you.
All the past things are past and over;
The tasks are done and the tears
are shed.
Yesterdays errors let yesterday cover
Yesterdays wounds, which smarted
and bled,
Are healed with the healing which
night has shed.
Yesterday now is part of forever,
Bound up in sheaf which God
holds tight,
With glad days, and sad days, and
bad days, which never
Shall visit us more with their bloom
and their blight
Their fullness of sunshine or sorrow
full night.
Let them go since we can not relieve
them,
Can not undo and can not atone;
God in His mercy receive, forgive
them!
Only the new days are our own;
Today is ours, and today alone.
Here are skies all FURNISHED brightly,
Here Is the spent earth all reborn.
Here are the tired limbs springing
lightly
To face the sun and to share with
the morn
In the chrism of dew and the cool of
Every day is fresh beginning;
Listen, my soul, to the glad refrain,
And, spite of old sorrow and older
SHINING,
And puzzles forecasted and possible
pain,
Take heart with the day and begin

No more convincing proof of the
soundness of the republican doctrine
of protection can be found than in the
growth of the dyestuffs industry in
this country since the war furnished
an efficient barrier against the impor-
tation of such products from Ger
many. According to Congressman
Joseph w. Fordney of Michigan, the
leading republican on the ways and
means committee, we are now manu-
featuring about $50 of the 900 varie-
ties of dyes made in the world Prac-
tically all of that business has been
established since 1914. Even the most
radical free trade democrats of con-
gress are beginning to see, in contem-
plating the dyestuffs situation, what
protection can accomplish in the
building up and maintenance of our
Industries

GUAM IS A LOYAL ISLAND
Voluntary Universal Training Helps
Very Materially In Ameri-
canization.

How far the people of the Pacific
island of Guam have progressed in the
process Of Americanization is indicat-
ed in the current issue Of the Guam
News Letter, copies of which have re
Gently reached Seattle, Wash, the
Post-lntelligencer Of that city states.
The island, which Is our cable outpost
for the Philippine islands and the orr
ent, is governed by Capt. Roy @. Smith
Of the American navy, under the over
sight of the navy department. Cap
tain Smith seems to be developing a
very ardent brand of Americanism
among the island people, who are
known as Chamorros and have
strong admixture Of Spanish blood.
The News Letter describes the cele-
bration of Washingtons birthday in
Guam, to which the people flocked
from all parts Of the island, coming
by launch, owing to the absence of any
island highway system. The proceeds
of the various enterprises, amounting
to $1,270.55, were donated to the Red
Gross, and we gather that the program
Of amusement was purely American.
For instance, the hot dog" stand
realized $108.94; Buffers soda, $751;
so; knock the cat down, $112.07; the
moving picture show. $500; the jit-
ney dance, 1880; wheel of fortune,
$350.10; lemonade stand. $72O3; base
ball game, $18.4O. From all sources
the Red Cross received $500, and
subscriptions were given for $4,000 in
Liberty bonds.
More than this, the island militia
had its first parade. Some time ago
Governor Smith put into effect uni
versal military training law at the re-
quest of the people, this being the
first portion Of American territory In
which such law has been made effee-
tive. There are 1000 militiamen, the
government supplying guns and am
munition and the regular khaki uni
form of the United States army. Seven
per cent of Guam's population Is In
the militia. at which rate, If we Of the
mainland kept up with the Chamorros,
we should have an army Of 100000.
The flags ahd floats Of the parade In
duced a tremendous enthusiasm In
the populace.

odd Funeral cuatnma.

Curious funeral customs fingered
long in Wales and the border cOun-
ties. Aubrey tells us of ''the sin
eater" who came to the house of the
dead person and for a meal and fee
undertook the responsibility Of the
guilt Of the departedl
In Wales the night before the burial
the friends and neighbors came to
the house. bringing with them a small
piece of meat or bread and some beer.
etc. This night was called "Wyl Nos''
(the watching night). Certain psalms
were sung and Scriptures read, and
when person entered the room they
knelt before the corpse and repeated
the Lords Prayer.
Pence and halfpence were given to
the poor In place Of small rolls OF
bread, which was the older custom.
Along the road from the house to the
churchyard at every cross-road the
bier was rested on the ground and the
Lords Prayer repeated; so also on
entering the church.

WAS GIFT TO QUEEN VICTORIA
First Pekingese Dog Brought to Eu-

Pekingese dogs have been known to
the western world little more thar
half century. During the looting Of
the imperial palace at Picking, an Eng
fish soldier picked up dog belong
ing to the empress. Her attendants
attacked the Tommy en- masse. He
suggested that the dog be sent as a
gift from the empress to Queen vic
toria.
The plan was agreed to and the
dog was sent to Buckingham palace,
where he was known as Looty. Other
dogs took exception to his appear
ance and made him wish he were back
In China. When the prince and
princess of Wales returned from
trip to the continent, the princess per-
suaded the queen to let her take him
to her home at Sandringhsa. The
princess thought Looty's loneliness
should be ended. since he couldn't
make friends with any English dog,
so she sent to China for mate Of
his own kind.
The fad started by the princess was
taken up by London society and

came so popular that London dog

Old EnnIlah furniture.

That fine old furniture is yet found
in Britain in many unexpected places
is said to be largely due to the STIR
ring up of the country that was given
by the great exhibition at London of

opment Of the railway system In Eng
land, and there flocl1ed to London, a
large number of squires and their
wives, A new world had opened to
the country DANES. The new things
had a wonderful fascination for them.
On returning home they got rid of
much Of their old furniture and
bought new. Much of the old furni-
ture found its way to secondhand
shops, and was sold to poor folk, who
could not afford to buy new. This ac-
counts for the finding today of much
good old furniture In small houses in
provincial towns and among country
pe0ple.-Indianapol News.

WEAR YOUR BUTTON

The Liberty Bono button is the most
valuable single aid to securing addi-
tional subscriptions for bonds, so
every bond owner is requested, by the
Executive Committee of this district
to wear his owners button all during
the fourth campaign, beginning Sep
TENDER 26th The button has always
stood out as concrete proof of mans
patriotism, and got to be the custom,
as soon as you face a man, to glance
down at his coat lapel, and If you did
not find there the badge Of Liberty
Loan patriotism, the expression of
your face at once communicates sig
nificant thought to the other party. In
many thousands of cases, this thought
found expression In words. so that be-
fore the end of the Third Loan cam
paign, 1t was as dangerous for a man
to be seen without Liberty Bond but
ton as 1t was last Sunday for him to
be seen joy-riding In an automobile.
The Executive Committee has there
fore decided to use the button during
the Fourth Campaign even more prem-
inently than IN the Third. A new de-
sign Of button will, Of course, be used,
SO that one will not be able to claim
that he has done his duty in the
Fourth Campaign by showing but
ton of the previous campaigns.
Hereafter, there are to be only two
places where Liberty Bond button
may be secured. The first is a bank
or trust company, where the button
will be handed to the purchaser of
bond as soon as he has made a first
payment The second place is at the
Industrial plant or other places where
one is employed, and where the pay
ment for his bonds is deducted from
his wages. Employers in such cases
will be given buttons, and authorized
to hand them TO employees as soon as
authority has been given for taking
from their wages payments for Liber-
ty Bonds.
Solicitors will not be permitted to
take cash for bonds during the forth
coming campaign. Any solicitor who
asks for cash, and gives you button,
is not authorized to do so, and should
be reported at once to Liberty Loan
headquarters.
The wearing Of the Liberty Bond
button will be considered the one
proof of ownership Of bond Of the
Fourth Liberty Loan. Therefore, il
you wish to protect yourself from en-
barrassing looks and questions, be
sure to get your button early in the
campaign. and don't fail to wear 1t
constantly.
The campaign opens September 2sth
and runs three weeks TO October 10Th
