General Wood, with the bulk of the
Roosevelt following behind him, is an
active candidate. He is preaching "Amer-

Harding is regarded by the progress

mint" that has been terrorizing the
people of the $3.50 community for
several weeks has been run to earth.
Wierd stories have been told of this
monster, which a few claimed to have
seen and which nearly everyone had
heard. Footprints resembling those
of a large monkey or ape had been
seen in different parts of the woods
from which the terrifying noises had
come. Houses were locked and bolt
ed at night and everyone went to bed
with feeling of dread. One farmer,
it is said, gathered his best pack of
hunting dogs for the purpose of CIV
ing chase to the mysterious prowler,
but when he heard the awful noises
coming from the woods near his
home he abandoned the idea and,
locking doors and windows, he and
his dogs remained at home.

historic one, what becomes of al
the pins?" or that newer and NOR;
pertinent one, What has become OF

| Like the ex-presidents of the
! United States, the society of ex-office
holders is very select in quality and

only few at any given time, which
should be a consolation to those who
are defeated in their aspirations,
those who, in other words, are "black-

to the charmed circle.
But, what does become of our ex-

More Money Than

London, Aug. 23.-More money
than ever before is now in circula-
ton in English villages; and its easy
expenditure is apparent even to the
casual passerby. Extra wages earned
by workmen, housemaids and farm
laborers have brought about an aston
ishing social change

Dancing and other clubs are spring
ing up everywhere. Whist clubs are
favorites, and the costliness of the
prizes for which the members play
would, a few years ago, have consti-
tuted almost a scandal. The scene
of wellbeing and the demand for
more comfortable life is assigned as
the cause for this last development.
1t is taken by sociologists as a per-
manent thing which is more likely
to increase than to diminish.

Archangel, Aug. 21.-Two Ameri-

Merrill of Somerville, Mass, and
Thomas l.. Cotton, OF Lingle, Wyo.,
were caught amid heavy she'll fire in
a mutiny of Russian troops at Tulgas

Their experiences have just now been

Merrill and Cotton who were form
erly Dartmouth college athletes, were
the only Americans in the village
which was garrsoned by Russian
troops, with a few British Officers.
The Russians, fearing that they were
about to be cut off and surrounded
by the bolsheviki, determined to
mutiny. They escorted the two
Americans to a blockhouse which was
under fire from Russian artillery.
The blockhouse eventually became
too hot for the Russian escorts AMI
they fled leaving the Americans to
make their escape to Archangel by
rowing $50 miles down the river.
