We have heard several men who
ought to be good judges say that
crops generally, this year, look as
well as they have ever seen them
in Michigan. OF course, this is fine,
and it ought TO inspire every think
ing mind with feeling of real obi
cation TO the Giver Of all and to fell
low creatures. What beautiful
world this is! And how surprising
ly beautiful it could be made if every
one would lend really helpful hand
and an interested spirit to the cause
of humanity-just grading up the
race. Plainest truth in all the world
and the hardest, apparently, for peo-
pie to see. And yet, maybe not, for
many Of the works of men, consid-
cred broadly. have been unselfish and
beautiful. We become so intent on
specializing upon things that ought
TO be done that we forget things that
have been and are being done. Guess
we live in the best time ever. But
that does not entitle us to lie down
beside our record and go to sleep.
We ought to be making the fullest
use of our improved opportunities for
doing good.

This is quite little way ahead of
the annual town meeting, and yet it
is not too early, perhaps, to call at
tention to the fact that something
will have to be done to provide more
money for general use in Vienna
township. that is, in the Contingent
Fund" The annual funds of this de-
partment at the present time are but
slightly more than they were four or
five years ago. That is, we are rails
ing only little more by taxation,
and yet the things which these funds
must be expended for, both labor and
material, have increased practically
100 per cent. We presume this con-
dition is felt in many other townships
and that authority to raise more
funds for general purposes will be Sc
cured through increased valuations
or through new law enacted by the
next legislature.

The Baffled Bridegroom

Finding that he had a comfortable home and everything else excepting a wife, young Chinese gentleman of the modern school approached one of his friends, asking him to find lady who would make a good wife. The obliging friend made inquiries and found a certain Miss -. Without stopping to make his own inquiries about the girl and taking his friends word for granted, the young man made elaborate preparations for the great day. At certain hour the bride was brought to her new home. As soon as she stept out of her gor- geously decked sedan chair the bride groom made off and could not be found. After a long search, his friends found him in a cheap tea house and asked him why he disap- peared just as the bride alighted from the sedan chair. And this, ac- cording to the Chinese Press, is the poor "modern" young mans reply:
 "When she left her chair, I saw she had small feet. I thought then she was old-fashioned and would not make a good match for me, so quit. What I want is a nice, fashionable young lady."-Shanghai, North-China Her ald

NATIONAL PARK TO PARK PATHFINDER
 TO BE HERE AUG. Il

Enthusiasm of the kind that pres ages appreciation of Americas scenic wonderland and invites greater trav- el, is greeting the pathfinding trip of A. L. Westgard, field representative of the American Automobile Associa- tion, who is logging the longest scenic auto highway in the world-4,500 miles in length!-for the purpose of connecting the principal national highways in the West.
 He is expected to pass thru here on Aug. II, being on the last half of the great circle swing, which makes a road connecting eleven parks and tra- verses nine states, including Califor- mia, Arizona, New Mexico and Colo rado. He will get back to Denver, the starting point, in time to join the official tour, which starts August 25 and will require about sixty days to complete.
 The park-to-park highway, linking mountain heights with valleys and cities, was suggested by the National Park Service, given official sanction by the American Automobile Associa- tion and is being promoted by the National Park-to-Park Highway As sociation, of which Gus Holm's of Cody, Wyo., is president, Stephen T. Mather, director of national parks, will accompany the official party.
 The pathfinder's itinerary calls for brief visits in the following places: Kingman and Seligman, Aug II; Ash Forks, Williams and the Grand Can yon National Park, Aug. 12; Flag staff and Winslow, Aug. IS; Holbrook Ariz. and Gallup, N. M., Aug. IA; Pennington, Aug. 15; Durango, Colo. and Mesa Verde National Park, Aug. 16; Pagosa Springs, Aug. r; Del Norte, Saguache and Salida, Aug. IS; Canon City and Pueblo, Aug. 19; Col orado Springs and Denver, Aug. 20.
 1t is a world challenge, this pro- posed movement to connect such scenic areas as Yosemite, Grand Can yon, Mesa Verde, Roosevelt, Yellow stone, Mount Rainer and Glacier parks, and means the establishment in the West, of the international play grounds of the world.

IT MONOS were appropriated from N Japan so long ago that we take them as a matter of course in every wardrobe, and now women, who have . fancy for wearing unusual negligees. are indulging in other dress borrowed from the Orient. Sometimes they take 1t as they find it, and oftener they adapt 1t to their own taste in colors and fabrics. This masQuerading in tho clothes of women of far countries proves exhilarating and the great shops make 1t easy to indulge in it-they have brought the far East near, and they help 10 widen our vision and in- crease our respect for the art of other peoples.
 The handsome costume of black satin, embellished with gold em- broidered ribbon, pictured above, is literal translation from the original Chinese, done in American fabrics. Those who have had experience with this kind of dress say it never grows tiresome and that it is comfortable and convenient-all these are lasting qualities and 1t is worth while to em- body them in good black satin.

LABOR DEMANDS CLOSE
 MINES NEAR CANANEA

A Bisbee report states that the Democrata mine at Cananea will close down at the end of this month, accord ing to reports from that place, on ac- count of the inability of the company to meet the demands for increased pay made by the Mexican union labor The Cananea Consolidated Copper company, the big producer of the dis trict, while not acceding to the oe- mands of the union, will continue op- erations pending negotiations with the Mexican government, according to the reports.
 Mining companies operating in Mexico are under a heavier expense than those operating on this side of the line on account of an export tax of Z cents a pound on copper bullion and a heavy import tax on coal and fuel oils, besides other taxes paid to the Mexican government. These con- ditions, coupled with the condition of the copper market, are having a de- pressing effect on business in the Sonora mining camp.

So far reach- ing has been the losses that more than 1900 people have committed suicide in the past few months owing to bus mess reverses.

As the man and the maid strolled through the picture-gallery, the wom- an stopt before one of the exhibits.
 "Oh, how sweet!". she breathed.
 "I wonder what it means?" ques- tioned the young fellow, as he eyed the pictured pair who clung together in an attitude of love and longing.
 "Oh, Charlie, don't you see?" the girl chided tenderly. "He has just asked her to marry him and she has consented. It's lovely! What does the artist call the picture?"
 The young man leaned nearer and eyed label on the frame.

a modest and fascinating dress, and may prove a rival of the kimono.
 "The flower of the harem-Rose-in. Bloom" never looked more lovely than the pretty American who has emulated something of her dress, as shown in the picture. Here are full, draped trou- sers of satin with an original over-gar- ment os brocaded silk and accordion plaited georgette. Fringe is made of narrow brocaded satin ribbon. The turban has band of the brocaded silk and crown of plaited georgette, match ing the coat. One can imagine this in rose and gold or turquoise and silver or other lovely color combinations, the feet incased in mules of gold or sill yer tissue. The costume is not a copy of the original but an adaptation of 1t, and was presented among others de- signed by certain artists, as gem in negligees.
