in the act Of extract ting the money
from the drawers in the register, he
hid behind the register and, reached
up into the drawers, fearing that by
looking into them he might be dis
covered from the outside, ~ .sSs% ~.
He entered the store through an
upper window in the rear Of the
by climbing upon the roof Of the
warehouse at the rear. He carefully
scratched the putty from the 3Ox3O
inch window pane and lifted the glass
carefully to the side and then climbed
through the window, letting himself
down onto one Of the counters in the
store. He made his getaway by I'M
locking both the back DOORS, which
were bolted from the inside.
When Daniel Gainey came to work
this morning, he noticed both the
back doors open and that the usual
amount of cash in his drawer was
not there. A customer coming into
the store noticed the. window out and
asked R. L. Given, proprietor Of the
store, if they usually kept this window
open. It was then that he concluded
that the store had been robbed and
investigation showed that the money
was missing. :sy.<:.. ::
In commenting upon the robbery,
R. L. Given said: 'The srobber did a
very clever job in lifting outsthe; large
pane Of glass and he was very care
full not to break it,. He must have
used Given Hardware tools in order
to do such neat, clean job,"' said
Mr.. Given. No clue as to who the
thief was has been made known, but
it is believed that someone very
familiar with the store did the JOB.
Tie police, are working on the case.

AS AUSTRALIA
SEES AMERICA

For a really refreshing onslaught
on America and her products, we may
turn to the Sydney Bulletin, which
laments the fact that Australians are
becoming utterly Americanized. Thus
it tells US:
According to the latest computa-
ton Australia has five and a quarter
million people, of whom two and a
quarter millions live in six coastal CT
ties. And about two millions of the
two and a quarter are undergoing a
process of AUGMENTATION. They
read American books and magazines,
chew American gum, and wear Am
erican clothing. They sing American
songs, dance American rags, and inn
port large quantities of American mu-
sic-hall performers to show them
how to do it. They take an excessive
interest in the deeds of American
bruisers. Above all, they are munifi-
cent and credulous patrons of Amer

The Heather Chinese.

A Chicago banker has found to his
surprise that from a racial stand
point the Chinese were the most sat
lsfactory depositors. They had the
largest average accounts and the
bank had never had any trouble or
controversy with any of them. They
asked no fayors that the bank could
not grant to its own advantages and
they were willing to pay literally for
all accommodations They worked
hard, saved their money, took care of
their own people and minded their
own business. To that extent, at
least, they were ideal citizens. They
never loafed or begged. There are
not many Caucasian races represent
ed here of which as much can be said.

lean moving pictures. In reality, the
Americans are poor film-actors COM
pared with the more emotional and
mobile-featured Latin races, particu-
larly the Italians and French, but,
thanks to the picture combine and its
press-agents, Australia is flooded
with the gaudy production of Ameri-
can Studios it crowds the biograph
theaters to see self-conscious and flat
chested American actresses, who get
far more adulation than is good for
them, trailing their robes through
pretentious travesties of art and lift.
There is an occasional protest against
this cult of Americanism, especially
when some whooping Yankee war
picture happens to meet crowd con-
sisting largely of returned Diggers,
but the rising generation has got it
bad"
''The bush has scenes innumerable
of equal beauty, but, bemused with
American fiction of the reeled and
written order, the Australian youth of
the big cities is unaware of it. There

tralia, especially the northern part of
it, but young Australia has contracted
the habit of looking to America for its
romance and hasn't time to consider
the attractions of its own country.
Moreover the songs it sing are most
~ about Alabama and Tennessee and
its fashionable dances come to it from
the niger shanties on the Mississippi
with Barbary Coast trimmings and it
is unpleasantly addicted to foolish
CALCULATIONS like "Sure!" and Gee!
and there are other respects in which
it contrives to give a cheap and de-
pressing imitation Of the cheapest sort
of Yank. America is a great coun-
try, but after all, it is foreign coun-
try and regard for foreign countries
can be overdone. Too think much of
a foreign country is to think too little
of ones own. And a people that relies
upon other people to write its books,
songs an periodicals and to make it's
moving pictures pays a poor compli-
ment to itself"

THE BIGGEST JOB IN AMERICA.

The average mans idea of the biggest job in America
today is making his supply of cash meet the demands
made upon it by Old H. c. L. According to article in
the September 18th issue of "The Country Genteman
however, it is blowing the 600 acres OF
every year. The article goes on to say:
Flowing requires more power and more men than any
other job There maintained the farms something
like Is 600 work animals and 100000 tractors prnci
paly for this job The farmers of the United States
purchase between million and half and two million
plows annually of which plow manufacturer alone
puts out approximately $50 styles and models American
pows are now shipped to the end Of the earth for there
are still millions of acres in Asia and other out OF the way
places, that powed with the same kind OF crooked
stick used by ancestors"
The defense given for the $50 styles of pows is that
there such thing alpurpose pillow bottom that
soils and soil conditions alone the correct type to
be used. The statement is also made that onehalf the
trouble farmers have with plows is due to not having
them adjusted right The other half traceabe to using
the wrong kind of bottom.

 California made little use of the for- ward pass this year, probably because at no time was the team ever hard pressed. Only in the game against Stan- ford university did the Blue and Gold men "open up and show they were eff fective in an aerial offensive. In the last period, with the game already won, California tried several passes and most of them were successful
 Charges through center have scored nearly ae many California yards as have bucks off tackle. End runs have also brought in gains. But the main attack has been off tackle. with the two big Blue and Gold tackles clearing the way for the backfeld men.
