Rainface stretched himself upon the
floor and keeping n eye upon his

His first glance showed him the girl

bosom, Shallum with the cup upon one
side of her, Rain Chunder with his
g~listening blade upon the other.
Casting his eyes upward, Morgan
saw the face of the old Indian at the

Hindus below. He seized the Spider

EVERYBODY TAKES A LOOK IN
THE MIRROR.

Outside Of their homes, there II
nothing in which the people of Mans
field are so interested as In theil
home town. Most of their money Is
spent here, most of their time IL
spent here. and naturally they fee
that their own comfort and we'll.
being depends upon their hons
towns success more than it does up
on any other locality.
These people have a common expo,
nent and mouth-to-mouth under.
standing in their weekly newspaper
They depend upon it not alone for
their news, not alone to keep in
touch with comings and goings in
the neighborhood, but they look to il
largely to point out to themways and
means whereby their home town
can be made an even better and q
brighter place in which to live. So
the man or firm who advertises regu-
larry in the hometown paper gets
in direct touch with those upon whom
he must depend for financial sue
cess. He cannot visit all of them and
make his personal announcement
each week. But the hometown pa
per can. and does, do this very thing
for him. He comes to enjoy a better
acquaintance and a closer fellowship
with the people-because they grow
accustomed to reading his weekly
messages.

animation OF the ground in question
and satisfied himself that there was
a rich strlnger in the groupings that
aseayed as high as $1,000
The discovery will not make any

his word to that effect and will not

An effort will be made to bring

be one for the best decorated burro
and the best decked out buck

Owing to the difficulty of securing
a suitable building for the banquet

in and pitched at a convenient spot

PRICE FIXING Of SILVER DONE
BY THE London BIG FOUR FIRMS

Silver has varied in price in all
epOchs OF history. according to Benja
min Whites "Silyer-Its History and
Romance Agatharachidas, an Ara
Glan writer, who lived in lSl.l45 b. c.
states that 1900 years before Christ
one ounce OF silver was equal to ten
ounces of gold.
Seventeen years ago, in 1902, silver
reached its lowest value. when one
ounce OF gold was the equivalent of
forty-three and a half ounces of sill.
YER The extreme variation in The
value of silver is 435 degrees.
Although the ratio of 1900 B. c.
may be inaccurate to some degree
because of the difficulties that Aga.
tharachides had in securing authentic
information. there is httle doubt that
the relative values of silver and gold
in India were to in the latter part
of the sixth century before Christ.
From the fourth century before
Christ to about the time when Colum.
bus discovered America in 1892, the
ratio OF the value of silver to gold
in Europe was u TO |.
An examination of the tables com.
piled by the director of the United
States mint shows that from 1850 to
1872, the average price ranged from
1916 to $1.322 In 1873 the metal
took drop of alOmst 8 cents to
1927, From this year, 1890. 1t de-
creased steadily in price until, in

The president Of an important sill
yer mining company points out that
with this country holding so much
OF the worlds gold and the necessity
for hard money in other countries
all governments must fall back upon
silver, which will create a big de-
mand. y
For some time past there have
been inquiries in New York from
several small European governments
for silver to meet their coinage re
Qurements and these will now be
met with export restrict Ons out of

The silver yield from Mexico can
not improve materially until more
stable conditions prevail in that cOun-
Try. The Tn ted States yield depends
to very large extent upon copper
company operations, and with these

possibility of further curta nment the

couple of other ScribeS, | made the
trip to the city in 'Scotty's' machine.
Said machine is manufactured in De-
trOit by gentleman by the name Of
Ford. Now, they make all sorts Of
fun Of that Ford machine, but after
that trip from Randall to Cleveland
the other day, I'm convinced that
the Ford cars are not only fast but
that they have staying qualities as
we'll. They should have been used
in getting the soldiers across the
ocean.
"In the low spots, where the water
has stopped many of the high priced
boats, the little Ford didn't even
hesitate. One of the most amusing
sights of the trip-I believe that it
was the only one-was watching a
gentleman astride the hood of a big
machine which was standing in about
two feet of water. He was attempt
ing to crank the machine and yet
keep out of the water Now that
was hard job. Every time he gave
the crank twist his arm went into
the water, right up to the elbow. The
good man was reciting the Lords
Prayer as we passed. At least we
surmised that he was. from a few
words that he uttered as our good
little craft pulled for the shore"
Like Pop" Gears, who added a
Ford runabout to his string of thor
oughbreds, Mr. Gahagan has discov-
cred that as mud horse" he
couldn't get away from the Ford.
