Glass Industry in America.

Glass was first manufactured in
America by the people of jamestown,
Va, during the year 1915. Comment
ing on this fact, John Smith lamented
that 1.-THE labor of the colony has been
miSdirected in the manufacture of
ashes, soap, glass and tar, in which
they could by no means compete with
Sweden or Russia" The inhabitants
of Jamestown did not agree with this
view, however, and soon afterward
commenced the erection of a glass
works, the completion of which was in
terrupted by the Indian massacre Of
1922. The first glass factory in North
America to attempt the industry on an
ambitious scale was built in 1870, at
Temple, n. H, by Robert Hewes of
Boston. The workmen, 30 in number,
were German deserters from the Brit
ish army. The carelessness of a work
man caused the destruction of the
plant by fire in 1871. In 1903 a glass
factory was established in Boston, and
since that time the industry has -four
iShed.

New BUG PeriIs Potato Crop.

Madison, July 24.-ThOusands of
acres of early potatoes in southern
Wisconsin are turning brown and dry
ing up with the tubers only partly
grown, as the result of the attack of
a multitude of little green leafhOppers.
Doctor Ball, state entomOlOgist of the
Wisconsin department of agriculture
at Madison, has returned from a trip
to Monroe, GAINESVILLE, ElkhOrn and
Lake Geneva. He reports the trouble
as being widespread in this region, eX-
tending south into Illinois and as far
north as Madison, at least. Only the
early potatoes have suffered so far,
but this brood of leafhOppers is now
acquiring wings and will probably fly
to the late potatoes and beans, doing
damage there later. /.

Japanese Arts and Letters.

The YamatO association has been
formed by distinguished Japanese cit
liens for the purpose Of making Nip
pOn's achievements in arts and letters
better known to the western world. It's
promoters believe that Japanese civil
iZatiOn is not correctly understood by
the vast majority Of Occidental people.
Her naval, military and scientific ad-
vancement is recognized, but the West
has yet to comprehend the significance
Of her achievements in the humanities.
The Japan Magazine, commenting
upon the new organization, says:
"Many foreigners are disposed to look
upon Japan as merely a military ma
ton, whereas her most important side
is the genius Of her unique civilization
and character. If people could get a
glimpse of the soul of Japan they
would have quite different opinion of
her. This can best be had from jap
Rnese art and literature, which in many
ways are equal to those of the West.
Even those Credentials who try to ap-
preciate Japanese art prefer the least
representative art of the nation. And
as for Japanese literature, it is prac-
tically unknown among western peo-
pie"
The association will publish works
on Japanese history, literature and art
and make translations into European
languages of the best works of Japan
csc writer's, ancient and modern; in
addition it's endeavor will be to pro-
mote the Improvement of the national
music and drama.

WARY OLD BIRD is TRUTH
Fact Worth Rensenroering When One
Is Tempted to Criticise Errors
Seen in Newspapers.

"Where do you get the absurd facts
you print?" is a favorite query put
20 newspaper men. In the view of
these cynics, newspapers spend most
If their time misspelling names, i'm
agining incidents that never happened,
ard generally manhandling life as it is
led.
There is just one answer to be made
to the query above, and that is:
Newspapers get such Of their facts
as are absurd from the absurd human
beings who for one reason or a thou
sand refuse to relate facts accurately"
Newspapers, truth-telling newspapers,
spend a very large part Of their time
correcting these misstatements, run
ming them to their source, and getting
ut the truth. A certain proportion of
error gets by-not as great a proper
ton as can be heard in any village
neighbOrhOOd gossip, for it is the con-
Germ of newspaperS-Of honest ones,
that is-to allow for errors and correct
them, whereas it is the concern of
those other purveyors of news, gOssips,
to create errors whenever they are
more interesting than the truth. :,
The next time you find an error in
your favorite newspaper, try an expert
ment. Try to capture one small fact
yourself, in your own home town.
You will quickly discover just how
wary a bird the truth is and how very
unpopular.-New York Tribune.

ANNIE LAURIE REAL PERSON
American Girl Of Same "Ilk" Gives
Facts of Origin of the Popu-
lar Scotch Song.

More than once has the question as
TO whether Annie Laurie, the subject
Of the ever-popular and everything
song bearing her name as title, was a
real person or mere fiction.
A letter has come to hand that was
written by Miss M. e. Riddle, daughter
Of the late Judge Riddle, for many
years a circuit court justice in this
section, says writer in the Pitts
burgh Gazette-Times. The Riddles
were of Laurie ilk, as Scotch folk say,
and they had gone to some consider
able pains to get the story of the song
straight, as there had been consider
able contention about it. Here it is:
"Jean Riddell (the name later spelled
Riddle) was married to Sir Robert
Laurie, the first barOnet Of Maxwelton.
One Of their daughters was Annie Lau-
rie, celebrated in Scotch song.
"Annie Laurie was famed for her
beauty and cleverness, and was social
favorite in all the country round about,
so it was not at all surprising that she
captivated a Mr.. Douglas of England,
a man of culture and of letters, who
composed the song bearing her name.
'But seeing that the course of true
love does not run smoothly, she mar
ried a Mr.. Gurgesson, leaving Mr..
Douglas to his hunting and his verses.
''To this day many pilgrims go to
Maxwelton, drawn thither by the much
loved song, annie Laurie Many also
visit Craigdorroch. where she spent her
married life in comfort"

Carry Away Everything of Value
That Is Portable-Soldiers
Feed Civilians.

With the American Army on the
Marine, July 23.-Even anti-aircraft
guns were called into use in pursuing
the Germans in their flight from the
Marine.
AS the Germans retreated, French
field guns mounted on automobiles
dashed up and down the roads, sprink-
ling the retiring enemy with shrapnel.
Every available piece of artillery was
used. The high-angle guns were en-
plOyed chiefly because of their great
mobility.
Abandon Supplies.
The enemy abandoned quantities OF
supplies and ammunition in their hur-
ried retreat. They left behind seven
light machine guns, automatic rifles
and other equipment. All had been
discarded by the. fleeing soldiers.
With marvellous rapidity the French
and American batteries were pulled
from their emplaccments and rushed
forward Smelling the fugitives ac-
cOrding tc directions wirelessed from
airplanes.
The Americans used the steel
bridges which the Germans had en-
placed over the Marine in Mondays
offensive to get their field guns
across to the northern bank.
Mounted troops were sent dashing
northward, while long-range guns
began to rumble, throwing a steady
stream of shells against Fere-en-
Tardenois and Ville-en-Tardenois.
Few German prisoners were re-
ported in the initial stage of the
German retreat from the Marine.
However, many wounded Germans
were found abandoned in the Chateau
Thierry hospital. Most of them had
from the June battle, and also a cou-
pie of wounded Americans from the
Bouresches fighting, were found.
Tales of Abuse.
Chateau Thierry had suffered badly
from artillery fire when the French.
Americans and Germans fought four
days for the city early in June, but
the Germans had forced the civilians
60 c!p2n ~ ne debris and build bar
ricades in the squares and streets.
The Germans had sacked the
houses. carrying off everything OF
value that was portable. But it was
difficult to ascertain what was Wanton
damage and what was the effect of
shell fire.
The soldiers emptied their KNAPP
sacks to feed the civilians and were
greatly embarrassed when embraced
and kissed by aged men and women.
The delight of these old people at
the sight of their American deliver
ers was pitiable to behold.
