Get out CT the way when you see
this man coming for he cannot stop
the speedy little animal When it once
gets started. Who is it,? Well,
we didn't think that we'd have to tell
you, but you guessed it the first time,
yess, it is Phil Young, the Model
Market man.
Now altogether for a little ccm-
munity singing, brethren. Pipe right
out SO the folks over in Greenville
and Ionia can hear:
o say, can you sing, from the start
to the end,
What so proudly you stand for when
crchestras play it;
When the whole congregation in
voices that bled,
Strike up the grand tune and then
torture and slay it?
How valiant they shout when they're
first starting out;
But "the dawn's early light" finds
them flound'ring about.
'Tis "The Star-Spangled Banner"
they're trying to sing,
But they don't know the words of the
precious, brave thing.
Hark, "the twilight's last cleaning"
has some of them stopped,
But the gallant survivors press for
ward serenely
To "the ramparts we watched"
where some others are dropped,
And the loss of the leaders is man.
ifest keenly.
Then "the rockets red glare" gives
the bravest scare
And there's few left to face, "the
bombs bursting in air.;
'Tis thin line of heroes who manage
to save
The last of the verse and "the home
Of the brave"
We lamped the following in Fred
O'Brien's Coral News: "Why run
around ragged when Massey &
o'Brien will bury you for $55.oo?"
They say that marriage licenses
have greatly increased since demobi-
lization began. Well, anyway, it is
a good thing that the soldiers have
learned to submit to authority.
Will some one kindly tell us what
has become Of the man with the
squeaky shoes who used to take up
the collection at church?

War Promoted
From Commerce and Finance.

There are but few who understand that the science of political
economy is comparatively young. Adam Smith s classical work upon
the Wealth Of Nations was not published until 1776, and prior t
that time commercial enterprise generally went hand in hand with
military aggression. Trade, or at least, international trade, was
predatory in its character and the hope of finding peoples and coun.
tries that they might exploit and pinage was the chief inspiration Of
the explorers of the 18th, 10th and 18th centuries. AS long as com.
mercial supremacy was a question of physical prowess, a knowledge
of economic law was not essential in its attainment.
1t is, therefore, chronoogically appropriate that the birth Of eco
nomic science as we know it today should have been contemporaries.
GUS with the French revolution and the establishment of the Ameri-
can republic, which were the result of the first really successful
efforts that society had made to substitute the law of right for that
of might. IT, 1
In the days Of Adam Smith and for 30 years thereafter there was
however, but little international trade and practically none Of the in
.ternational community Of financial interest that exists today. Great
Britains imports and exports in 1850 were valued at an aggregate
Of only Ell, 100000.
In 1915 they were worth 81, 4O3,5 ,O5, or 80 times the total of
1850, while the population in the interval had only multiplied itself
by seven, having been 6,517,035 in 1850 as against 46, 0S9, 249 in 1914.
In the year 1900 and previously, loan and deposit banking as it
exists today was practically unknown. Most transactions were set.
tied by the payment of gold or silver, aud the supply of these metals
must have been altogether inadequate, for, according to Soetbeer, their
production during the 40 years ending with 1899 averaged less than
$45y0 900 annually, as against a present average of about $700,000,.
600 a year. v-
1t was not until labor saving machinery had made production
OH , large scale possible, and steam provided a prompt and reliable
means Of transportation, that the development of modern commerce
commenced, and it was only when distance and time were annihi-
lated by cable and telegraph that prices throughout the world began
to, huctuate in unison and the law of supply and demand became so
''delocalizcd" in its operation that CONGRATULATIONS in regard to it
were safe .- ..~.:

the bottom Of the pit, which is IL or

scarcely able TO prevent her from
throwing herself bodily into the pit.
Finally they lowered her by use of the
rope, and she, too, was almost IN
stantly overcome.

BY this time a crowd a gathered

In the meantime men with shovels
were busy making a new and larger
opening. Then Herman Gallum, with
a rope tightly fastened about his body,
was lowered m brought up the body
Of the boy. George Reifert in similar
manner brought up the body of Mrs
Obert, and Jacob Roskopf brought UP

Obert and her son were too far gone
and could not be resuscitated.
Bange was apparently dead, but
signs of life soon showed and, though
he was unconscious until Sunday morn
