Ticket Stamper's Accident
Led to Discovery Of Art
of Printing From Stone

An odd accident led to the discoV'
cry Of lithographing.
In 1896 a ticket stamper, employed
at a Munich theater, carelessly left his
salary check on a table in the room
where he worked. A gust of wind
suddenly blew the check off fhe table
into a basin of water on the floor.
He dried the check as best he could,
and. to straighten the paper out. ne
placed it underneath the whetstone'
which had been resting on his print
ing stamp, and left it lying there
throughout the night.
The following morning, on taking
the stone off the check, he was sur
prised to see that the imprint from
the stone was transferred to the
check, and the thought struck him
that by means of a large stone he
could "print'' programs and songs. he
made experiments, and finally discoV-
ered-through, this accident-the art
of printing from stone.
Thus was he the first lithographer.

FAME.

Fame, like fortune, is a f1ighty
thing. One day you have it, and the
next, perhaps, you awake to the fact
that it has flown. Admiral Sims re-
turned from the war covered with
glory, honor and fame. He it was
who administered the affairs of the
great United States navy in European
waters during the world war. But
the admiral like many ordinary folks
got to talking, and his talk got too
loose. and for some weeks now his
fame has been diminishing with
alarming rapidity. A few months
ago one would hardly have dared to
openly take a shot at the admiral,
and yet his name was publicly hiss
ed in New York the other day, when
it was announced that when Presi-
dent Wilson had proposed that the
German submarines be hemmed n
their nests Admiral Sims was the on
" American who opposed the plan.
After reading the f1aying Congress-
man Byrnes gave Sims one is not sur
prised to learn that Sims did this.
The wonder is that the government
allowed the admiral to even remain
in the navy.

PIGS CAUSED
WORLD WAR
OraneI Between Austria and Serbia
Traced to Difficulty Over Swine

Pigs-just pigs-brought on the
war, according to statement accred-
tied to Count Carl Seilern, formerly
confidential adviser to the erstwhile
Emperor Charles at Vienna. Frederick
81. Mead of Troy, N. Y, member of
the Red Cross convoy taking food sup
plies to Budapest, reports the count
as saying:
Fifteen years before the war Ser
via was shipping great numbers OF
pigs into Hungary, successfully COM
peting with the Hungarian farmers.
The Hungarians protested but. the bor-
der was left open. Finally the Austro-
Hungarian government on the pretext
that all Servian pigs were diseased
placed an embargo on them.
up to that time the two govern
ments had more or less of a friendly
understanding. Political leaders in
Servia seized upon the pig incident.
Austro-Hungarian diplomats took up
the question. Misunderstanding arose
over it. When it grew too old for po-
litical propaganda, other questions
we're built out Of it and thus the world
war was brought on.
eyes, there is no doubt, pigs caused
the war;"

USELESS LEGISLATION.

We presume that the greatest ma
jority of the legislators feel that it
is absolutely necessary for them to in
troduce and at least make an effort to
have passed some bills each year. II
we were in the general assembly, a
thing that is not at all likely to ever
occur, we think we should direct our
efforts not to introducing bills, but
to killing bills that were introduced
Every year hundreds of bills are pass
ed that are not worth the paper the
authors write them on. The result is
the statutes are encountered with all
sorts and varieties of so-called laws,
only a small part of which probably
are constitutional, and great many
of which are so confusing and con-
flicting that a French lawyer could
) - ,
not make head nor tail of them. We
have sometimes had the idea that
about the best thing to do would be
to throw away what laws we have and
start all over again. Probably this
would be of very little benefit, how
ever, unless an Injunction could be
obtained restraining the legislators
from introducing possibly worse bills
the next time.

Many people of this city and coun-
ty have started taking Meritone, the
famous new system medicine, since
it was announced in the newspapers
just one week ago that supply of
Meritone had been shipped here to
Mack's Drug Store.
Indications now point to the fact
that Meritone will become just as
successful in this city and county as
it has in hundreds of communities OF
a similar size, and it is possible that
the sale here may rival those in such
larger places as Nashville, Chatta-
nooga, Birmingham, Lexington, KY,
and others, considering the size OF
this community.
The success Meritone has gained
here, however, is only the usual thing

Japanese Produce Dwarf
Trees Through Training
in Reverse to Nature

There is a general impression that
the method of producing dwarf trees
is q secret that the Japanese have
never divulged; but the course to be
pursued is really simple. The whole
system Of culture may be summed up
as the reverse of natures method. 1t
really consists, not in the survival OF
the fttest, but rather in the survival
Of the unfttest. A poor, weak seed is
usually chosen and planted. AS soon
as it has attained some growth the
leading shoot is trimmed off. The lit
tie plant then grows two other shoots,
and these are carefully watched. When
one shoot exhibits strength and vi
tality greater than it's fellow it is at
once cut off and the weaker shoot is
untouched in order to form the future
dwarf trees main stem or trunk. This
system of trimming and cutting is fol-
lowed punctilously. Water is seldom
used-only in very small quantities to
keep the little plant actually alive.
The tree is kept in a pot too small for
it's full development, and the roots are
constantly pruned. The shoots are
carefully trained and bent to follow
the growth of large tree. All this
requires great patience, but the Jap
anese never tire watching the growth
Of the tree from day to day, week
to week and month to month. When
the tree has been growing for about
five years, it can then be practically
left to take care Of itself. It has be-
come accustomed to it's training, and
it's surroundings, and, like force Of
habit, follows the course laid out for
it. In this manner some very mag
nlficent specimens Of dwarf trees are
produced which in their miniature
beauty and majesty compare favorably
with their big brothers in the unframed
forests.

by years of work on it's formula. He
made of Meritone medicine without
a superior for the ills of the system,
such as ailing conditions of the
stomach, liver or kidneys, catarrh,

this fact becomes fully known here
the sale Of Meritone will rise by leaps

MUD HOLES.

The Columbia State is authority
for the statement that it was only a
comparatively few years ago when a
mule was drowned in mud hole in
Spartanburg. However, that has
nothing on the city of Aiken. Ac-
cording to the Journal and Review,
a mule was drowned in pool OF
water there only few days ago. The
pool, or puddle, was located in the
city stable lot. This is simple state
ment of fact, and is not printed for
any purpose of DETECTING from AK
ems just fame as health resort. Mud
holes will happen in the best regulat-
ed towns sometimes. Fact is, We
have a few of them here in Bamberg,
but we don't believe mule could
be drowned in any of them
We recommend that Aiken take
pattern after Bamberg and get rid
of the mule drowning mud holes.
What few such places we have left
will not be here long, for the town
and the government are spending
$4,000 for the purpose of eliminat-
ing all sources of mosquito breed
ing, which, of course, includes mud
holes and the like.
We are not "uppish" however, and
Bamberg is not even ashamed of the
fact that we used to have fairly
good fish pond out on Main street.

"The World War;" Official
Name for Great Conflict

The war Is still so close to modern
times that all sorts of names have
been used to distinguish it from other
wars. The war department through
the secretary of war, has decided to
call it ''The World War" An official
order to that effect was made public
recently, declaring that "the war
against the central powers of Europe,
!n which the United States has taken
part, will hereafter be designated in
all aaicial communications and pub
ucat&sas ss The World War;"

STEPS,.

Every once in a while a city or
town will come to a step. The ques-
tion arises, will the town step up
higher, or remain where it is. Bam-
berg arrived at a step last year, and
she decided to go up. We are now
at the point of making another step
upward in the voting of a bond issue
for permanent improvements. The
same question is here again: Will
Bamberg step up or remain where it
is?

GLENDALE GRAMMAR SCHOOL
 NOTES

The Glendale grammar school opened Monday with a very large enrolment At the close of the first week of last year our total enrolment was 465 On the second day of school this year our total enrolment was S33 This figure shows that at the very beginning of the school year of 1920 we had twenty two pupils more in attendance than our best months attendance of last year of the 1919- Just where we are gong to put all of the youngsters is our worry at the present time.
 However, our sub primary which is in session in the club house and Sunday school rooms, is not so large as we had hoped 1t would be- We attribute this light enrollment there, however. to a misunderstanding of the patrons. The following explanation will perhans clarify that to some extent. The work

thirty three for luncheon and twenty six for dinner
 It is our endeavor to board our teach CTS with good wholesome home cooking at a cost of not more than $30 per school month. The teachers themselves have nothing but a con1Hlendable report to make upon the dining hall and it's system. This we feel will add a great deal to the life of the teacher, because ir brings them together where the ordI- nary man is at his best. so far as dis position is concerned
 At the present time the three meals are served in the teachers dining hall but as soon as our complete equipment for the cafeteria arrives, the teachers dining hall will be open for the morning and evening meals only and the teach CTS will take their luncheon with the pupils of their own room in the cafe teria itself The cafeteria room is large enough to accommodate some 250 pupils at once IL is an institution of which we are justly proud and which we will be glad to show to anyone at any time
 We wish to express our sincere ap- preciation of the way in which the good people of Glendale have opened their homes to welcome the teachers, s practically every teacher reports to the office that she has a very desirale, home-lize and comfortable room with an exceptionally nice family. We would urge at this time that the people of Glendale, even more than ever before, fill up the empty back seats of their automobiles in their evening and Sun day afternoon drives with teachers of the Glendale schools; also that they be invited to the homes for the evening. Anything to make the teachers feel that they are welcome in Glendale and that they are a vital part of the Glendale

to be taken up in the sub primary classes will consist of the regular kin dergarten work during the first half of the year; then. the work of the second half of the year will be the sub-first grade or the primer work You VIII readily understand then that the pupil who spends the year in the sub primary class will make the strongest pupil in his further school work in the grade schools.
 Now. as to what children may be ad- mitted. For the present, we are talk ing only the pupils who are five years old. sI.ater on, if we find We can ac- comnodate them. we will lower the age, perhaps to four and one half years of age.
 There will be two sessions daily, the forenoon session, running from nine to eleven thirty, made up principally Of the little tots from the country and the afternoon session from one to three thirty, made up of those children from the country whose older brothers and sisters are in the grammar school and who cannot go home until the older children are dismissed, and also the little folks who live in town.
 We are somewhat disappointed in the enrolment in this department because it was instituted at quite an additional expense to the district and was inst1- tuted this year only after considerable pressure had been brought to bear upon the board of trustees and the superin- tendent. We wish the patrons of the school to distinctly understand that the sub-primary is a portion of the Glen dale grammar schools and not a pri- vate affair and also that any parents who have children five years of age are earnestly urged to send those children to the sub primary Any further ques-
Arizona republican., 1920-09-17

tions concerning this department will be gladly answered.
 A great many of the schools over tho country are doing away entirely With the departmental work in the seventh and eighth grades. It is our plan here in Glendale to endeavor by actual try out before making the decision as to which pupil gets the most out of his seventh and eighth grade work-the pupil who has several teachers in the department, or the pupil who has one regular teacher.
 When we get this departmental work definitely classified in the very near future. there will be three divisions of the seventh grade. The divisions will be made very largely upon an alpha betical basis: that is, the pupil whose last name begins with one of the first letters of the alphabet will be placed in Division A. The pupil whose last name begins with letter near the middle of the alphabet will be placed in Divi- sion B. Division A and B will be under the several teachers in the depart mental plan. The pupils whose names begin with the last letters of the alpha bet will be placed in Division and will be under the one regular teacher, or Miss Arnold. The work of all three divisions will be full seventh grade work and the division of pupils will not be made because of any 'sins" of for mer teachers.
 The district erected, during the sum- mer. what is known as the teachers dining hall and cafeteria room In the teachers dining hall we have employed one of the best cooks in the community and a very efficient helper whose wages are paid by the teachers eating in the dining hall.
