INFLUENCE OF GREAT
MEN

Every nation owes perhaps more
to it's great leaders for the example
they set to following generations
than to their actual good works
while at the helm. 1t is by study
of their qualities that posterity finds
the necessary mental picture of ma
tional type most to be admired and
emulated. ,
Cato and Cincinnattus were to the
Romans the same sort of sturdy
models that we today find in Wash
ington, Franklin and Lincoln. We
can always learn something about
the conditions that surround us by
studying their lives, and we do not
fail to better our own outlook thru
knowledge of their sterling char
acters. Each gave us an example
that stood out clearly as good and
worthy of imitation. I'm seeking to
follow them we raise our own path
ways and walk on higher ground
AS time goes on the people of a
nation gradually become in thought
and deed like the great men the peo-
pie read about and thrill over. Who
can say that the solid Americanism
of Theodore Roosevelt, which struck
so many of our citizens as just about
right, was mot master key to our
popular attitude during the great
war? In like manner some of the
finest expressions of our national
aims in the conflict to have been
coined out of Abraham Lincoln's
living influence. Every man whose
life and conduct inspires others to
better citizenship is indeed founder
of his country.-F. G. X.

AUSTRALIA HAS MUCH IRON
Engineers Report Immense Quantities
Available In the Southwest Part
Of the Country.

Mining engineers have reported to
the Australian government that i'm
mense quantities of iron ore are avail
able at Yampi sound, in southwest
Australia. The estimate puts the
amount of. ore available-that is, in
sight above sea-level-at 97,OO0OOO
tons. The larger quantities are on
Koolan island, where the lode rises
600 feet above the water line; the lode
Is over 100 feet wide, and is traced
for nearly four miles, but really ex-
tends right through the island. On
Cockatto island the height is 300 feet,
the lode running from end to end Of
the island.
The quality of the ore is exception
al. There is only per cent of silica
present and very little sulphur. These
analyses compare favorably with the
best known iron deposits in the world.
Newfoundland (Bell island) ore Is
$3.50 per cent metallic iron, with $50
per cent silica. The French ores run
to 1923 per cent" the Cumberland
(England) to 1880 per cent, the Span
ish (Bilboa) to 5O.S4, and the Algerian
to a mean of about so.

HAVE MUCH ECONOMIC VALUE
Official OF Museum Of Natural History
b, Tells Of Importance Of Bats
! In Jamaica.

Returning recently from the island
Of Jamaica. In the West Indies. where
he spent four months on a scientific
expedition. Fl. E. Anthony. associate
curator Of mammals at the Museum
Of Natural History. brought back with
him many fine specimens Of bats,
which are numerous on that and other
islands In the West Indies. says the
New York Times.
"The only mammals native to the
island today" Mr.. Anthony said, "are
20 species Of bats and one species Of
rodent. These different bats range in
size from small bats. with a wing
spread Of six inches. up to very large
bats, with wing spread Of from %
to 30 inches"
People in the United States. where
bats are comparatively rare animals,
have no idea of the variety and abun-
dance of them In: such place as
Jamaica, or of the important economic
value of the bat. They are either in
sect eating or feed on fruits. The in
sect-eating variety are small for the
most part, and have considerable
value as insect destroyers. They feed
on mosquitoes and on a great variety
Of winged insect life, many Of which
are obnoxious to man or injurious to
agriculture.

READER, WHAT DO
YOU THINK?

1t has been long, hot summer
Many of our merchants haven't said
much about their goods and service
while enjoying the vacation time
Consequently, it has been rather
slow summer for the newspapers
We admit it, We do not admit
that it should be so, but that it is
and usually has been so.
But we know our readers have fol-
lowed the news and advertising in
our columns even more closely than
they would do in the springtime or
the harvest timea We feel that
those far-seeing business men who
have talked with our readers dur
ing the lax period of summer will
find that their friends have increas-
ed in number and that their fall
trade will be bigger than ever be-
fore.
We simply want to say that we
wish our well-wishers, for whom we
print and deliver a newspaper three
times every week, would take mo-
/ment of leisure and drop us line
just once telling how they have been
influenced by advertising seen any
where, any time.
Last winter we sent out ques-
tionaire to- some two hundred of
our subscribers asking them def
mite questions about their interest
in advertising. The replies were
gratifying to us and Illuminating
to some of the business folks to
whom we showed them. They were
good and truthful and generous. We
could tell from notations added to
our questionaires that came back
that many of these persons had real,
up-to-date and positive ideas on ad-
vertising. Now we think it is a
great loss that we cannot have those
ideas expressed and published. 1t
is all part of the great game Of
civilization. Advertising makes peo-
pie alike in their buying habits and
gives them common interests be-
cause they buy the same things for
the same reasons. a
In short, what the people think
about advertising would, make one
Of the most important books the
world has ever seen, if it could only
be written out and published. Let
some kind souls who like to WELD
a pen or typewriter for the informa-
tion and pleasure of all Of US take
one of those implements, or pencil,
in hand and add a few thoughts
straight from home to the welcom-
ing columns of this paper. What

OFFICE CLERKS MODEsTY
MAKES HIM MILLIONAIRE
(By International News service)

(By International News Service)
NEW NORK.-From an obscure
office worker Arthur T. Walker, liv-
ing in Brooklyn has become a mil
lionaire through a strange prank of
fate. BY the will of Edward F
Searles of Methuen, Mass, he will
inherit approximately $4,000, 900 of
the fortune built up by Mark Hop
kins, transcontinental railroad pio-
neer, whose widow Searles married,
inheriting from her by will.
Walker for the last ten years had
been in the employ of Searles, man
aging his New York interests. A
modest man, he hid from interview
ers, sending out word by an office
associate that he did not want to
talk about himself"
1T probably was because of this
quality" said this man, that Mr..
Searles left him the bulk of his
wealth."
On the door Of a suite of offices
in the rear of the twelfth floor of
building on Broadway appears the
simple notice:
EDWARD F. SEARLES
"Pittsburg & Shawmut r. R."

the corner office, inaccessible except
to those he desires to see, sits Mr.
Walker, the newly made million
aire.

RoIshevist Stud Farm.

Gently escaped from Russia: "The Boil
shevists went to all the stud farms and
divided the stock among themselves.
The best stallion In Russia, imported
just before the war at an enormous
expense, was given to a peasant, who
took the horse off to his village in the
interior to draw his cart for few days
and then be slaughtered for food. The
bolshevists then started an improved
stud farm under nationalist manage
ment. They made 1t up of six stations
and one mare"

Location at Uranus.

The latest calculations, based on
the perturbations of Uranus are
stated by DR.. Eric Doolittle to show
that the hypothetical planet beyond
Neptune is nearly four billion miles
from the. sun. and requires 2S3 years
to complete revolution in its orbit.
II is much smaller than other distant
planets, with a mass. only six times
that of the earth. This is secret Of
its elusiveness, and its discovery is
expected to reveal a minute body Of
only the twelfth or thirteenth magni-
Jude. Search is now being made for
this mystery of the skies near Gemini's
western border.

WOOD CONTAINS "a PER CENT

bout 1'500 Pounds Of Soft Coal.

Professor Morrill,, head Of the for

comparisons about the heating value
of wood and coal.
The average value Of Colorado coal
in British Thermal Units is approx
mately 1920 units. The average of
dry Colorado native woods is 5000
units. Consequently pound of dry
wood is about ~ per cent as effective
rs q pound Of coal.
Bark has greater heat value than
the wood and the butt cut Of . tree po-
sesses greater heat values than the top
