GLOOM PRODUCERS

When ones brain is not being eX-
ercised 1t is in danger being victim
lied. Then, when the thinking ap-
paratus is idle, is the time that men,
tai Authorizations get on the line
and tempt us to encouragement and
despair.
Therefore don't conclude that you
are profound just because you are
pessimistic. You have doubtless
known that mistake to be made
A man achieves a detected ex-
preston of countenance and as
a melancholy tone of voice
and proceeds to discuss the deca-
dence of the times. He views with
alarm and looks with apprehension.
Things are not what they used to
be. On every side there are signs
of decline. Evil is marching on,
and the outlook to the good people
of the earth is mighty bad.
The old croaker fools some of us
with his pessimism. We think he is
q deep thinker. Just because he
is so commonly solemn we con-
Guide that he must be ~convincingly
serious, and we get our weeds and
prepare for the funeral.
But the pessimist is moi deep. He

DAYLIGHT SAVING REFERENDUM.

Through the efforts OF the State Manufacture
ers' Council an attempt is being made to have a
referendum taken throughout the state on the
daylight saving proposition. The idea is that
employees in all the leading industries shall vote
yes or no on whether or not they favor daylight
saving from the first OF April to the last OF
October.
Opposition to the wording of the referendum
is we'll taken. Thousands of people might favor
daylight saving from May first to the last of
September who would vote against daylight
saving from April to the first Of November. Par
;icuiarly during October is there much objection
20 the change in time. The days are getting short
after September 80 and to force people to get
up an hour earlier than sun time during the
month OF October is a hardship In a great many
Instances. It almost invariably means getting
up before daylight.
II the referendum permitted the voter TO state
the conditions under which he favored a change
In time during the summer it might be worth
while. Many would favor It only on condition
that the change becomes general. We want no
such outra geous condition as we had last summer
when two watches were necessary to know
whether one was coming or going.

Q. Are the stars in the flag desig-
II. f.
A. On October rs, 1912, Presi-
dent Taft sent u an executive or
der, concerning the specific location
of stars in the flag, and their def
mite representations. In accordance
with this order the stars of the flag
were arranged in six rows of eight
stars each, symbolizing the various
states in order of their ratification
Of the Constitution:
@. Would like to know the origin
of oil. M. J. s..
A. The general theory of the
origin of petroleum is that it comes
from the decomposition of the re-
mains of myriads of minute forms
of animal life that existed ages ago
The oil which is contained in these
microscopic bodies forms petroleum.
Q. What are the emblems of the
Socialist party and the Socialist
Labor party? j. C. w.
A. The Socialist party employs for
an emblem a hand and arm holding
a flaming torch; the Socialist-Labor
party. a hand and arm holding a
mallet.
Q. If a boy enlists in the Army
in the States. and is in the Philip
pines when his term of service ends,
does the government pay his way
home? d. v. H.
A. The War Department says
that when a man Is stationed abroad
at the time his enlistment expires,
his passage to the town of his en-
listment or his bonaide residence is
paid by the government.
@. Please tell me if the Bible
any place speaks of three wise men.
l.. c. B.
A. There is no actual statement
in the Bible regarding the number
of wise men who visited Christ at
| His birth, or of their status. 1t is
a question that has been much de-
bated by Biblical scholars. Tertul-
liam and Justin Martyr claimed that
| thew came from Arabia and as
| sumed that they were three in num-
Der from the three gifts-gold.
| frankincense and myrrh. Eastern
| tradition. however. places the num-
Der at twelve. The Persian Avesta,
which corresponds to the Christian
Bible, m them as three sons of
Zoroaster. They are also variouslY
supposed to have come from Chal-
dea, Ethiopia. India and Persia.
O. Where al I find out If n
stone or rock that I have found
contains any mineral of value? Y. d.
A. The United States Geological
Survey is prohibited by law from
making assays for the use of priv
ate parties or associations. If you
will send a sample of you stone or
rock to the Survey, at Washington,
d. c., they will give an opinion
based on a test specimen. If an as
say is desired the proper course is
to employ private assayer or chem
list.
O. Can a rainbow be seen at
night? NJ. L. c.
A. If the is shining bright
~ while 1t is raining. a rainbow may
be seen at night.
O. How much does plate glass
weigh? A. B.. r.
A. Plate glass weighs about az
pounds to the square foot. 1t will
vary somewhat, since it varies in
thickness from three-tenths t one
half an inch.

RIPPING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason.
BUSY MEN.

Some of us are gifted speakers and we
make the welkin sound, fading all the lesser
shriekers who may argue and expound; and
our grace you'll be allowing when we come
before you bowing-but the farmer with his
blowing makes the old worlds wheels go
round. Some of us are famous fighters, with
our guns and butcher knives: and a lot of us,
as writer's. buy the fodder for our wives;
others ON the stage are playing. through the
lines OF Hamlet" straying-but the farmer
with his haying is the man who saves our
lives. Some have all their lives devoted to the
we'll known public veal. and in congress,
silver-throated. you may hear them ably
spiel: and they have our admiration, our ap-
plause and adulation-but the farmer saves
the nation. when he feeds the calves their
meal. Some are painting gorgeous pictures
destined to a deathless fame. and. despite the
critics structures. they will get there just the
same: some are preaching public morals.
some are gaining singers laurels-but the
farmer with his sorrels, or his claybanks.
plays the game. And the farmer isn't yawp-
ing as he goes his dusty way, and we do not
see him stopping. yelping for a six-hour day:
when the early dawn is breaking he goes
briskly to his raking, and his honest bones are
aching when at night he hits the hay.

Thus, today there are two prices
for silver-one in this country, and
one for the rest of the world. set by
the same old group of brokers in
London. London no longer controls
the price fer American silver, how
ever, which it must buy at a loss.
With this government guarantee,
the production OF silver is now pro-
fitable enough to cause the old mines
to resume operation and new
sources to be sought. Throughout
Utah and Nevada whole villages
which have slept peacefully for de-
cades are coming back to life with
renewed vitality. Camps whose
anne would have been forgotten
but for Mark Twain are receiving
daily notices in the mining press;
people are again seen about their
streets, and houses SO long deserted
are receiving new coats of paint.
Eureka, Tuscarora, Phoebe, Cherry
Creek, the Bellerophon, the Silver
Wave and other mining enterprises
are once more names to conjure
with.

Luke McLukc SAYS
NO matter how grouchy and homely her hus-
oand grows a wife is expected to keen her tenn
per and her good looks.
Every wife gets plenty of roses-the day she
marrles and the day after she dies.
A man will read a statement that there are
2S0,231,694,457 stars, and he'll believe ii. Rut
u ne reaos a statement that announces Fresh
Paint" he won't believe it until he has used bis
hnger to make sure that the paint isn't dry.
When a doctor gives a man a prescription for
medicine the man will take two doses and for
get the rest of the bottle. But is is different
when the doctor gives him a prescription for
whisky.
For a while a Mother worries for fear her
daughter Will get married. And then for a long
married.
One difference between Men and Mules is the
Iact that all Men can't wriggle their ears.
After a man has had a cold for five davs ho
goes around telling that he has had it for five
weeks. NV
There may be some Ideal Husbands in the
world. But you can't prove it by any Of the mar
ried women.
And it lisa heap less expensive to be disappoinr
ed in Marriage.
Many a married man would offer to kiss his
wife oftener only he hates to kiss a woman on
the ear or on the back of the neck.
Once upon a time the Perfect Woman mar
ried the Perfect Man. And thirty days late r
each was nagging about the Imperfections of
the other.
We are mighty glad that the Rainbow has but
seven colors.. If it had seventy, some Girls
would wear them all at one time.
II people know how much a good listener
is loved. there would not be SO much talking
done.
Pull a line of baby talk on her ten DAYS afte
marriage and she'll hug you for an hour. But
If you pulled the same line of talk on her ter
years after marriage she'd run you for an
hour.
