duced many characters in different

epochal records-made the United
States of America famous the world
over as doer of big things and put
at rest forever the charge of money
makers without patriotism" The
European catastrophe awoke only
some Of the great latent powers of
this great Western giant, and the
world looks on in wondrous admi-
ration of it's deeds of love, mercy,
charity and valor. The ranks of the
army, navy and shipyards contained
the rich and the poor, Jew and gem
tile, and all We'd with each other in
showing the world in practical
way, the teachings OF Washington
and Lincoln and their great COM
patriots.
Whatsoever thy hand fndeth to
do, do ye with all thy might" This
biblical quotation has been wonder
fully exemplifed in the person of
Mr.. E. V. Heughan, the efficient sup
erintendent Of the Jahncke Shipyard.
He seems to have studied all the Pc
culiarities of human nature and then
welded it into every shipbuilding ne
cessity. Mr.. Heughan is a lifelong
resident of Madisonville and a gradu-
ate Of the school of experience. He
Is an ace, being decorated with the
consciousness of duty faithfully per-
formed.

too high to write as much as would
like to about the qualifications of
the Cardone family in the way of

gentle pathos are as effective in the

laughs when they are joyful and
weeps when sorrow overtakes them.
Who does not recall JOS sublime and
useless sacrifice when she sells her
hair to provide money for her moth

husband lies seriously i'll? Who a
refrain from weeping at the pathetic
death of Beth, nor marvel at the
wealth of love which bound the girls

details of production by Harley
