Work of renovating the Commercial
club rooms was completed early in
the week. Bids have been asked for
the cost of revarnishing and repairing
all furniture there. If these figures
are not too high this work will be
done at once. Walls have already been
tinted and the roof repaired to pre-
vent the leaks encountered every time
it rained in the past.

local fire department a chimney sweep

QUESTIONS AND
 ANSWERS

Q. Has the government made a profit from the operation of the rail- roads? G. NJ.
 A. Senator Cummins, who has made close study of the railroad problem, says that if everything the railroad companies owe the government is paid, and if there are no claims for return ing the property in poorer condition than when received, the government will have lost in the operation of the railroads for two years something like s650, 100000.
 c. During the illness of the presi- dent, who presides at the cabinet meet ings?-E. R.
 A. Secretary of State Lansing has been acting in the place of the presi- dent as presiding officer of cabinet meetings.
 Q. Who stands the loss in case a bank cashes forged check?-R. T. A. If the signature on the check is a forgery. even though it cannot be detected by the naked eye. the bank that cashes the check is responsible for the loss.
 Q. How does the percentage of American casualties in the world war compare with those of the northern army in the Civil war? c. NJ. l A. Out of every one hundred Ameri- can soldiers and sailors who took part 1 in the war with Germany, two were killed or died of disease. The number 1 of northern soldiers killed during the | war between the states was ten out of every hundred.
 i c. When and where did Roosevelt use the phrase ''the strenuous Ife?' i T. P. A.
 A In a speech delivered before the 1 Hamilton club of Chicago, April 10, | 1899, he said: Tn speaking to you
 men of the greatest city of the west, 1 men of the state which gave to the

the doctrine of the strenuous life

the doctrine of the strenuous life etc"
 Q. How old is the earth? W. V. c.
 A. The age of the earth is almost as secretive as that of woman who has passed thirty. Several years ago a celebrated astronomer said that the age of the earth is paced by some at five hundred millions of years; by others, one hundred million years; and still others at ten million years. None seem to estimate the age of the earth lower than ten million years.
 Q. Who was the first royal visitor to the United States? E. H.
 A. This distinction belongs to Will jam ", son of George III, who came to the United States in 17S2 as mid shipman in a British line of battle ship, one of Admiral Digby's fleet sent over to conquer us as a rebellious col ony. An effort was made by colonial troops to capture the prince while his vessel was lying off New York, but the scheme failed and the prince lived to become king of Great Britain, and uncle of Queen Victoria.
 Q. Tell me something about "Old Abe" the famous eagle which was a mascot to one of the regiments in the Civil war; S. A.
 A. This rare bird was presented to the Eighth Wisconsin regiment, and was sworn into the United States service by having a red, white and blue ribbon strung around its neck. All during the war it served with this regi- ment, and was in every engagement in which the regiment participated. II was the pet of every soldier in the out

writers of children's books. She has many book publications to her credit besides more than 500 short stories. Her place in the juvenile fiction world is the same as that of her famous sis ter. Mary Roberts Rinehart. in the adult fiction world. And there are few readers of modern short stories and "best selling" grown-up books who do not know and enjoy Mary Roberts Rinehart.
 There are some interesting facts connected with the choice of profes- sional fields by the two Roberts sis ters. Before her marriage Mary Rob- erts Rtnehart was a nurse. As such she was thrown in contact with adult minds, their perplexities, interests and emotions When, after marriage, she began writing, she wrote for the ma ture minds she had studied in her patients.
 Before her marriage Olive Roberts Barton was teacher in the primary grades of the public schools. As such she made a study of children, their ! likes and dislikes, and especially their mental attitudes. So when, after mar riage, she too began writing, her stories were for and about little people. l Now Mrs. Barton has two charming 1 ly little girls of her own and her stories reflect a mothers loving under standing of children's tastes as well as a professional educators.
 My severest critics are my two small daughters, Virginia and Mary, says Mrs. Barton. T read them all my stories and if they don't like one they are very quick to say so. In such case I revise the story. Experience has taught me that when my children are interested and pleased other chill dren are also"
 Virginia is II years old and Mary is 8
 The first installment of Mrs. Bar toms new children's story, called The Adventures of the Twins, will appear in The Republican very soon. Each will be illustrated.
 Don't let your children miss the pleasure of reading or having read to them these delightful adventures
