GET FULL VALUE OF READING
Authors Best Sayings Should Be
Transfarn.d to the Storehousa
of the Menor.-

A view Of reading, which, though 1t
is obvious enough, is seldom taken, I
imagine, or at least acted upon Is,
that, In the course of our reading,
we should lay up in our minds store
of goodly thoughts in well-wrought
words, which should be diving treas.
ure of knowledge always with us, and
from which at various times, and
amidst all the shifting of circum-
stance, we might be sure of drawing
some comfort, guidance and sympathy.
We see this with regard to the sacred
writings. "a word spoken In due
season, how good is It'll" But there is
a similar comfort on a lower level to
be obtained from other sources than
sacred ones. In any work that Is
worth carefully reading there Is gen.
orally something that Is worth re-
membering accurately. A man whose
mind is enriched with the best sayings
of the poets of his own country is
more independent man, walks the
streets In town, or the lanes In the
country, with far more delight than he
otherwise would have; and Is taught,
by wise observers Of man and nature,
to examine for himself. Sancho Panza
with his proverbs Is great deal bet
ter than he would have been without
them.-Sir Arthur Helps.

A Card
Baltimore, Aug. 20.

If some Of the people of Mcdowell
and community had always been as
busy about their own affairs as they
's"ua~ been, for the past few weeks,
meddling in ours, there would be,
quite a few millionaire on this side
or I would miss my guess.
Congress should pass law that
every one who is so free with their
as1& rSould have to take out license
and the one to whom it was given
should pay fee. A thing that costs
nothing is never worth any thing
and every time is far more injury to
the party who gives it out than the
one who receives it, it tends every
time to injure their reputation and
make folks distrust them in time.
If people could just learn to keep
their advice and discouragements to
themselves, at least, till they are ask
ed for it, both parties would be far
better oc in the end. A ''meddlesome
Matte" is the most detestible thing
on the face of the earth and can make
more trouble in a few minutes than
can be righted in years or life time.
People should consider well before
they interfere or NEEDLE with hus-
band and his wife's affairs.

What Next?

The following letter appeared in
recent issue of the Baltimore Sun:
To the Editor of the Sun-Sir:
The following letter, received by
the local office of the United States
Internal Revenue Bureau, will strike
a responsive chord in the breasts of
all taxpayers. 1t came to the Port
land office unsigned:
Il have been held up, held down,
sandbagged, walked on, sat en-, bat
tered out and squeezed, first by the
United States Government for the
Federal war tax, the excess profits
tax, Liberty Loan bonds, for the
State, county and city highway tax,
auto-tax, and the syltaX and by every
society and organization that inVen-
tive mind of man can invent to eX-
tract what you may or may not pos

The Government has so governed
my business that l don't know who

"All I know is that I am supposed

I will not see that the only thing for
me to do is to sell all have and go
out and beg, borrow or steal money

Heap Much Cold Due Says Indian

Geneva, N. Y, Sept. 4.-The COM
ing winter will be cold and without
much snow, according to the phroph-
ecy of Charles Kelley, half breed
Mohawk Indian, who has gained
Statewide fame as forecaster. KEEL
ley predicts that during the middle
of. September there will be frost.
This he declared is indicated by the
premature ripening of the fruits and
vegetables. The winter, he stated,
would be cold, and little snow would
fall. This is sure to be the case in
a winter following heavy foliage.
The leaves on the trees this year, he
declares are much thicker than in
several years previous, which, accord
ing to the Indian custom and belief
is provided by the Great Spirit to
protect the roots of the trees, taking
the place of snow.

POPPYS VALUE LONG KNOWN
abundant Evidence That Qualities OF
the Plant Were Appreciated
Many Centuries Ago.

The poppy plant was originally In
digenous to the valley of the Nile, and
many centuries before Christ 1t was
Imported into Persia. There 1t was
grown with even greater success than
In its natural haunts, and for many
years there was great discussion as
to the merits Of Persian and Thebafc
poppy from the city of Thebes. There
are several ancient references which
clearly indicate the important position
which poppy leaves occupied in an
cient times. Homer knew all about
1t, for in the fourth book of the Odys-
sey he relates the story of a present
Of poppy sent by the wife of Thop,
an Egyptian king, to Helen. Hippo
crates first recommended its use as
medicine and sent out with 1t a warn
ing that it was dangerous. Morphine,
the alkaloid crystallizable extract OF
opium, which contains it's medicinal
and narcotic properties, was first
made by Seguin, in 1908, and later
Serturner gave it its name after the
Latin derivative meaning ito Sleep"
1t was about this time that DR.. John
Leigh delivered prize essay before
the Harveian society Of England on
opium and its derivatives, calling at
tention to the dangers of forming a
habit, and publishing this essay, later
dedicating 1t to Geonge Washington.

Value of a Steers Hide
(Omaha Bee.0

A steers hide on his back is worth
from six to Is cents pound, accord
ing to the quality of the meat that
goes with it. When it gets to the
tanner it has become worth 81 to so
cents pound. In the meantime, the
meat has been sold at from % to 35
cents pound. No wonder the pack
ers say there is not money in the
meat business, and if it were not for
the by-products they could not live.
When the tanner gets through with
the hide its price has gonesup some
thing around SIS pound, and by the
time it has passed along the line to
the manufacturer and retailer it f.
nally energies in the shape of pair
of shoes for which $50 is to be asked.
or at the rate of something like Sc a
pound for the leather contained
therein.
The volume of leather trade in the
United States for the year 1919, bas-
ed on government estimates for the
first four months, will total $685.
346,272, on which amount the leath-
er operators propose to additional 20
per cent, or $175,269,254. This
latter figure may be set down as the
measure of profiteering, for the orig
nal estimate contains the increased
costs, showing an advance Of almost
$5O,000,000 a month for the present
year over the sales of 1914.
