Details OF the invention are secret.

20 the Continental edition of the Lon

been devised which. by what experts
call an electrical method of concen-

direction and. in that direction only.
Hitherto the electrical waves sent
out from wireless stations have
spread out in all directions and all
who listened In" could hear. The
new invention will mark the end OF
the wireless "eavesdropper." When
It Is perfected a wireless station Will
be able to send out Morse or spoken
messages which will be heard only by
those for whom they are intended.
The new apparatus which is being
worked at an experiment station in

THE BAD SPIRIT In BUSINESS.

The Industrial unrest which 80
interferes with community and
business progress, is due to deep
rooted causes. These must be re.
moved before there can be unity OF
feeling and a cooperative spirit.
Red agitation, un-American pro-
paganda, the i'll considered action
of ignorant people, all make trouble.
But underneath all that are certain
fundamentally unsound conditions
long tolerated, which viii create
disturbances until removed.
So long as avarice or oppression
exist and bear heavily on the peo-
pie there is sure to be social turmoil.
Take as just one instance, the
way many corporations and capital
lists handled the excess profits tax.
This tax was fair assessment on
big fortunes. The man who was
making half million year could
well afford to pay half Of it to the
government in an emergency. Yet
it is known to have been customary
among many manufacturers, to put
prices high enough so the consumer
would pay this tax, and the prof.
teer would make the same exorbi-
tant gain as before.

AN ANTI-Ll.TER CAmPAiGN.

The children II New York city
have recently been modified in an
effort to keep the streets clean from
litter. Block captains are appoints
ed, usually high school girl or b' y
each to take charge for a certain
block. 1t is the duty OF captain
TO see that his block lives up to the
regulations established by the Anti
Litter Bureau.
The very handsomest town may
spoil its appearance by k epihg It's
streets Uttered. Many'peoplc care
essly throw away paper bags and
other waste.
Organizing the children against
litter will serve two purpo-e s. II
will help them grow up with the
ceiling that the streets shou d be
,ept rs clean az one would keep d
nice home. And also they can be
encouraged TO pick up a scrap o.
paper whenever they zee it. Thl'
plan could be workedSvery nicely

THEY'LL NEVER DIE.

There is one class Of weekllcs
which viii never die as long as men
and wone,, live together in Small
communities and in well settled
countryside 1t is what thereadinq
public OF America calls the country
weekly"
And right here we would saJ to
the people Of Lees5urg and commu
nifty, that n well conducted country
weekly, and hundreds Of them are
wonderfully well conducted, does
not attempt at all to compete with
the big city dailies, with then
dozens OF pages in every issue and
thousands OF inches Of feature
articles and display advertising.
The country weekly that is properly
conducted does not try to cover IN
It's news columns all the news OF the
world, which il knows its readers
will get from other sources more
fully than it could give it to them.
II is satisfied to give It's readers all
Of the town, community and neigh
borhood news. It's field is limited
for every live town has one or more
weeklics, but as long as human
beings remain interested in Their
own doiags and those of their
friends and neighbors the field will
be there, insistentlv demanding to
be filled. Wheu socalled 'Coun-
try editor" has the ability TO gather
all this news and to present 1T at
traclively, and combines with this
an honest mind and a clean and
kind heart, for use in his editorial
column. he d es for the souls of his
readers what the country doctor
does for the body of his patients.
We are not throwing boquets.
We are merely stating facts for the
benefit of that fast dwindling class
of people in this country who
haven't yet found out mission o.

HoWDoLlAR WORKS FOR YOU
Benjamin FrankIin's Fund of $4,000
Grew 20. $4sA,as3 in One Hun
EFed Years. -.

How the dollar investsd works. for
the Individual himself has been best
illustrated by that first great Ameri-
can teacher of thrift, Benjamin
Franklin. In 1901, he bequeathed
e1.0O0 ($5,000) to the common
wealth OF Massachusetts and to the
city of Boston as a mark of his appre-
citation for having appointed him as
agent in England at Sthe handsome"
salary Of $1,000 ($10000) ard to
make his bequest really valuable with
his great foresight, Franklin provided
In his will that this $1,000 should be
pat out at 5 per cent interest for one
hundred years; that at the end or
that time 31-131 of the fund accumu-
lated should again be put out at in
terest for another hundred years and
then the fund be divided One-fourth to
Boston and three-fourths to the state.
Let us show how well that f1,OOO
of Franklin's has worked. AT the end
of the first hundred years it had
grown to $431 ,3S3.62. 1t was then di-
vided in accordance with the will {;
1926, 3OO.48 was set aside for public
work" and $102,OS3.14 was started on
It's course of earning interest for an
other hundred years. That was in
1891. January 1, 1918, this sum had
grown to S267. SO5.15 and at this rate
Of increase the fund should amount
to at least six million dpllars when
the second period is Completed, and
may be considerable more Worlds
