Some supporters Of the plan for the
league express the opinion that it can
enforce it's mandates by economic de-
crees alone and that any member of the
league who disobeys its covenants or
lawful orders can at once be cut off
from trade with others. But this
method might injure the remaining
members as much rs the rccalcitrant
and there will be certainly for long
time nations outside the league who
will respect its DEGREES only il it
possesses available power 10 enforce
them.
General SHUTS, in his careful study
Of the subject, expressed the opinion
that economic weapons alone will not
be enough if unsupported by military
and naval action. These are some of
the questions that must be solved II
the plan of the league of nations shall
fulfil the promise made in its name
by. President Wilson to the cxpectant
peoples Of Europe.

PRAYER ROCK WIDELY KNOWN
Idea of Vermont Citizen Has Been Productive of Far Reaching and
 Splendid Results.

On cliff at the foot of Drakes hill, in Bristol. Vt.. is the so-called Prayer rock. which has become widely known during the past Is years with the in. creased use of motor cars. It was in 1891 that D.. Joseph c. Greene. a for mer citizen of Lincoln. Vt., bethOught himself how he might do something to stop the excessive use of hard lan- guage indulged in by exasperated farm CTS seeking to urge their horses and oxen up the steep rise in the main road between Lincoln and StarksbOrO He decided that some ethical or re- ligfOus reminder should be established at the foot of Drake's hill. and finally gave an order to StOnecutter to en- grave the Lords Prayer upon the face of the cliff. AS the nature of the rock did not bring out the lettering clearly Doctor Greene had the text painted white. Every spring the town author itieS now repaint the letters. For many years Doctor Greene lived in Buffalo, and there received hundreds of letters from tourists, expressing ap- prOval of his prayer rock idea. The carving had the effect desired. for few drivers could but be patient with their beasts of burden in the face of the scriptural quotation on that great tab let.

LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE
Matter of Saving Part of One's Earn lnos Is Really Nothing but Dis
 play of Strength of Character.

To earn money is easy; to save money Is easy, too, If you know the secret. To know what you want and what you don't want. that Is the secret
 Don't argue with yourself when you see a thing, "Can I afford it?" To do this is sure sign that you can't. Have the strength of character to say. "I can do without it."
 Don't try to save money by Invest ing all your spare cash. Keep re- serve in the bank. A banking account Is reference. It gives you better standing in business and out of it and leads to other good things.
 Don't argue with yourself us to whether you can afford to speculate. You cant. if you have to put that question to yourself. Invest instead if you feel that you must put your money to some use. Investment means income; speculation means profit-or loss-often the latter.
 But don't put all your eggs in one basket. In other words. don't keep on making investments in the same com pany, the same locality. or the same industry

Col. w. H. Hall for Congress.

There is movement on foot among the republicans of the Second district for nomination of Colonel William H. Hall, of Wilmington, for congress next year. It is believed that Colonel Hall has given more years to the legisla- tive service of the state than any other person now living. He has served in the legislature for eleven sessions, two of which were in the senate, and he was a member of the constitutional convention of 1902. The colonel is graduate of Wilbraham academy and of Wesleyan university. In politics he has maintained an attitude of inde- pendence without, in anyway, abatlng jot of his loyalty to the republican party. He may find fault with organi- zation methods but not with party principles. It is believed in some quarters that Congressman Freeman would retire in favor of Colonel Hall. The only thing that stands in the way of the movement for the nomination of Colonel Hall becoming general in the district is the unwillingness of the colonel to give it encouragement. If he would but say that he would enter the field for the nomination next year there are many republican leaders in the district who say that he would have a walkover for the nomination. There is the possibility that William A. King of Windham, who has in the past showed an ambition to represent the district in congress might be candidate for the republican nOmina- tion again. But that is extremely doubtful Hartford Times.

Dous in Roumanja,

Each nation looks upon the dog in a different way, but the dogs of war and the dogs of peace (of pastoral and agricultural people like the ROu- manianS) are beyond doubt the intel ligentSia of their kind. A little far ther east he was sometimes held in fear, and an old Babylonian prayer runs thus: From the dog, the snake. the scorpion, and whatever Is baleful, may Merodach preserve us." On the other hand, on some of the wOn- derful bas-reliefs of that period, our four footed friends have been grate- fully immOrtalized. and their names remain written thereon to this day "He who ran and parked" '"The bitter of his foes" "The seizer of his ene- mics" But here in Roumania slayer of the wolf" ''thc friend of sheep" be- tokens a less disintereSted path in life.--Exchunge.

Strike That Failed.

Labor strikes were frequent even in the earliest recorded days. An important strike occurred in Egypt during the reign of CheOpS. several thousand years before the Christian era. While the great pyramid erected in ShOnOr of that monarch was in course of construction it Is stated that 5O.0OO wOrkmen refused to con- tinue their labOrS. They were dis satisfied with the food furnished to them. which was insufficient in quan- tity and poor in quality. Argument proving useless on the part of the contractors, soldiers were ordered to drive the strikers back to work, and many thousands of them were cut to pieces. while those who could escape fled. The others were compelled to re- Sume their labor.

Wonderful island.

White island. 30 miles from New Zealand, is probably the most extraor- dinary island in the world. It con- sistS of an enormous mass of rock nearly three miles in circumference, rising 900 feet above the sea. and is perpetually enveloped in dark clouds, which are visible for almost a hundred miles.
 The island is rich in sulphur, which for some reason has not yet been ade- quately utilized. In the interior is a lake full fifty acres in extent, the wa ter of which has temperature of no degrees Fahrenheit, and is strongly impregnated with acids. Great quan- titles of steam escaping from craters on one side of the lake form the cloud that continually envelops the place.

Children live in world of fancy. Whatever may be the real nature of the things they see those things to them are real. Remember that the child has had no experience by which to judge the importance of practical relations of what they see or imagine.

Concrete OH Tanks.

Storing oil In concrete tanks is the invention of an Englishman. A tank with a capacity of about ten gallons was recently made with chemically treated concrete aggregate, and after being allowed to "weather" for seven days molding was filled with paraffin oil. Thus filled, it was placed in 8 shed, where it remained for 15 weeks {; at the end of this period 1t was care fully examined. With the exception of evaporation, no loss had taken place; there was no sign of leakage, and the outside walls of the tank were free from the smell of its contents. Upon removal from the spot on which 1t had been standing no trace of paraf fin could be detected. nor had the un- der side of the tank acquired any smell. This Is probably the most se- were test that could be applied to any cOntainer.

ROUTE TEN

AS the berry season is now in full
blast, how many of us recall with
pleasure the berry picking of long
ago and what delight to hear papa
and mamma talking of the long trip
to the mountains on the morrow in
the old farm wagon with a we'll pre-
pared dinner, just such as mother al
ways prepared on just such occasions
Then, just at the break of day we
see father at the barn currying his
horses and looking well to see he has
prepared luscious dinner for those
two animals which have served him
so long and faithfully.
After hooking the horses to the
wagon, we see father driving to the
door for mother and the children, who
are ready with baskets and buckets
for the days journey. This is a pic
tpre we linger over, We look after
this jolly crowd as they slowly drive
down the road. One day this sum-
mer ! took my little boy out to the
berry fields. After picking berries
for quite a while we passed the home
of friend who insisted that we
should take dinner with him, and en-
joy the afternoon looking over the
country from hill nearby, We par
took of the good dinner spread be-
fore US and after the table was clear
ed away we began to prepare to look
around. Six of US composed this jol-
ly crowd.
We first visited the tobacco and it |
was fine sight. 1t seemed

Patterson Springs
Being Considered

We are informed that our water
commission are just now considering
the advisability of purchasing the four
Patterson springs, on Water street.
As has been known for some time, the
water supply for Greeneville is in
adequate something has to be done
at an early date looking to providing
a sufficient supply of water to the
citizens. The four Patterson springs
would furnish, we are Informed,
about the same amount of water as
is now provided by the big spring.
This would doubtless answer the
towns purposes for many years to
come. The Patterson springs are said
to be soft water, which fact should
also be taken into consideration
They are located in such a manner
that all the streams, including the one
flowing from the big spring, could
be thrown together, one pump sta
ton answering the purpose.
The water question is to come up
Tuesday evening at the mass meeting
of our citizens. It is a question that
certainly all our citizens should be
interested in and for this reason
everyone should turn out and take a
hand in discussion of the matter.
