Make a esalnnIna.

Many people prosper on ideas that come from without In a measure these are common property. The really great ventures that make outstanding men are those born within man and there fore peculiarly his property. When ap- preciated and acted upon they give him the inside chance that others will covet when they see him beginning to climb. So instead of sitting around moping it's "up te you" to start something. Let your thinker sink deep down into your anatomy and mine the unused possibilities that are rrsting out. far want of use. And rest assured unex- pected possibilities will open up just as soon as you start something. g.-EX- change.

Beaver Money.

John Jacob Astor introduced the beaver skin as a medium of exchange, and it was not until beaver hats were replaced by the modern felt hat made from rabbit fur that beaver money went out of fashion.
 For about 100 years the beaver skin had it's fixed value by which the cost of any other article was determined. It is said that the process of making hats from rabbit belts actually saved beaver from extinction in North Amer ica.
 Most of the beaver was trapped by Indians and ambitious white men eX- erted their wits in separating the red man from his treasures.
 If an Indian thought he needed furs to keep warm. he was given a drink of something that made him feel that he wouldn't need an overcoat, after all.-Detroit News

Save and Invest.

The present period is one which IN
some respects affords an unattractlve
picture The world is now paying the
fiddler for tho orgy of war through which il
has passed. With infinite pain and sorrow
il IS rebuilding its ruined factories, es-
tablishing It's deranged finances, repairing
the wastage Of blood and wealth
But this very fact affords . rich oppor-
t,,nitv for those who can contribute the
one thing which above all others is need
ed-capital. Never before in history was
there held out such great reward ior Thrift
and economy. A dollar invested toSay will
bring almost twice as much as it did ten
wears ago. twice as much perhaps as II viii
ten wears hence. The present is the golden
opportunity, the opportunity which the
people should not let escape them

world, are selling to yield from FIVE TO slN

The people of the United States should
not let this chance pass. The world, 50
largely denuded of it's capital by the war,
is appealing to them for aid in getting once
more upon its feet. BY curtaliing ex-
travagance, by saving and wise invest

rehabilitating the paralyzed industries OF
foreign nations, but will receive for SC
doing a rich reward. Now is the time for

POTATOES OR GOLF

A question of policy has been raised by
the resolution adopted by the Midclty
Citizens Association protesting against
converting the public vegetable gardens
in lower Potomac Park into pubic goli
course During the war this large tgact OF
grouI was divided into small parcels and
apportioned among citizens for the pur-
pose of growing vegetables The plan
proved a great success and good crops
were raised as result of which the gar
dens have been continued 10 the present.
1t WAS part of the project for develop
ing that park peninsula TO construct golf
course there which could be used by the
public, thus givirg 10 people OF moderate
means, who could not avail themselves OF
membership in the country clubs, the
benefits of this outdoor sport. But the
war interfered with the carrying out of
these plans and the ground was devoted TO
agriculture.
Now the question is whether it is Of
greater public benefit TO continue the
ga enng nv I INTO golf

HERITAGE.

They worked for rs. Those ages old
Whose lives seem as a story told.
The countless dead Of years gone by
Who knew the self-same stretch Of sky
And walked beneath the self-same sun.
Dreaming Of wonders TO be done,
Were toiling in the long ago
That We a better world might know.
From lip 70 lip were handed down
Stories of conquest and renown,
Which We might learn. and IN our day
Struggle TO be as brave as they,
Who dared TO spend their strength and
might
For what they then believed was right.
Out of the ancient glory glows
The splendor that our record knows.
For us old Homer sang his songs
And unto us he now belongs;
The treasures of human strife
Have kept the best of every life
For all who choose to come and take.
So shall the progress which We make
Be kept TO spur some brave youth on
In days long after We are gone.
He cannot die who serves the truth,
Sets high example unto youth,
Gives To the world some useful deed,
Or labors for human need;
For though his age may pass away
And all his flesh return TO clay.
The good he did shall always give
New courage. to the young who live.

Newborry election, when filthy luere vas

Is in favor Of big business, and said big
business Is strongly opposed 10 our
unions; therefore, we are to understand
he is not IN favor OF the working class OF

Mr.. Harding Is not sincere. When be

PRESS COMMENTS.
THE RESPONSIBILITY.

Senator Harding in lengthy address on
Tuesday night took strong exception To
the financial side of national management
and ascribed most of our current ills To
misgsvernment during the past eight
years. He WIS particularly severe IN his
dcnunoiation OF public cxtravagance, and
attributed IL to Democratic methods dur
ing the war. incidentally, the candidate
paid hia respects TO the high cost OF living,
the defective policies pursued IN cpnnec-
tion with the public debt, the Liberty
Loans and the like, and saddled the whole
responsibility upon his political opponents.
Ordinarily there is little use IN political
post-mortems. At present, however, there
is q Presidential campaign IN progress,
whose effort ought To be thnt among 9th
or things .of settling the policy to be
pursued IN the future regarding taxation
and borrowing. This has been too lorg
neglected and it is gratifying 10 see Mr..
Harding turning his attention toward IT.
Unfortunately, to Judge by this first ef-
fort, the Republican candidate seems IN
danger of becoming a darkener of eolIn-
sci Our expenditures during the war were
enormous and in many instances were bad
ly directed, but there is no satisfactory war
rant for charging them to the Democratic
administration. During the war there was
an immense body of business men OF all
parties and political faiths who went To
Washington and were there given large
powers in administration and manage
ment. Leading banking houses were
drawn for officers who had special ex-
perience in purchasing, and money WAS
spent under their direction. There WIS
constant cry for more effort and for large
outlay on what was called preparedness,
and no small portion Of this demand origl-
mated with Republicans, who then blamed
the administration for every attempt to
keep down outays.
I hat many wastefu and estravagant
schemes IN the war origin ated with and
were pushed by men who in privote life
were Republicans but who acted IN per
feet good faith, merely seeking the we'll
being of the country at a time when haste
was everything and expense minor mat
ter IN comparison with the winning oi the
war, il would be foolish to deny Only
blinded partisan would be guilty of IT,
There has been too much attempt to take
the credit for the winning of the war TO
the Democratic administration and too
much disposition un the part Of Republic
cans 10 blame the government for faults
and defects. The truth is, the war WAS a
national matter aud there WAS little partl-
san debate IN Congress during its whole
course One side was as extrayaRant as

THE SHADOW PLAY.

When overhead the summer moon
S riding full and free,
j see strange shadows come and go
Beneath the apple tree.
The outlines Of a man and maid
Are Iimned upon the ground,
Though neither voice nor footstep breaks
The silence reigniDg round.
They clasp. they kiss, another shape
Behind them siyiy steals,
A play of swords COR mOonbeams pale),
The gleam and gloom reveals.
In tierce and parry, feint and lunge,
They flicker To and fro.
While in the thickly foliaged boughs
The gusty zephyrs blow.
The lover falls, the maiden swooDs,
The slayer swiftly fees.
The branches cease to bend and sway
As dies the yagrant breeze,
The moon upon the dewy grass
A lacy pattern weaYes,
The shadow actors fit away
And vanish in the leaves

To Asia Eov Week-ends.

The fight OF naval airships from New
York 10 Nome, Alaska, in 55 hours illus
tratcs most lucidly the developments of
modern travel in the last quarter OF CEN
tury When gold was discovered in that
part Of Alaska, thirty OF more years ago, IT
required weeks for the eager prospectors to
reach this wceternmost port Of the North
American Continent. Even though spur
red by the lust for the precious yellow
metal, the journey was tedious and more or
less dangerous, besides being beeet by
many disoomforts. Hundreds who joined
in the pursuit of fortune were unnble to
reach the golden goal, and others who ar
rived at Nome found it dishenrteping,
cold, demoralizing, for the outlaws and
the licentious, always first in such race,
reached Nome early and took throttle
grip on the mining camps.
Later, when the Presiden appointed a
Pennsylvania judge to go to the new gold
fields and save the community from the
anarchy of the cutthroats and lawiess
elements, it took him weeks OF travel,
under the most fsvoring conditions, to
reach his post. II required long time to
ship a herd Of cows from California to the
mining camp where they could supply the
fortunate gold diggers with cream for
their daily breakfast food. which seems to
have found place on the menus there at
the beginning
To have reached Nome in two and a
third DAYS is one of the notable achieve
ments Of the day, and opens to our vision
the fact that time and distance are being
rapidly eliminated by the contrivances of
the modern inventor With the success OF
this trial trip, il is not without the bounds
Of reason to predict thnt within another
six months the journey from Wilmington
to the gold operations of the Alaskan sea
boundary may be made in two days. or
possibly less, and who can dispute that

An established line of airships, FROM
Washington State, or California, the

with half dozen additional hours rss-
sengers could he set down on the coast OF
Asia.
To think il possible that one might go
from this city on "Wednesday, for example,
and with favoring weather spend the
weekend in the Siberian Peninsula OF
Asia almost staggers belief. When one
reads Of crossing the Continent IN two
days and reaching Asia in three, IT seems
almost incredible. hut il is no less an ao-
complished fact than is the projection 81 =
