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, In which the United States has taken part, will hereafter be designated in all official communications and pub 1cations as The World War;"

Read Poetry and Listen
 to Music Once Every Week

If I had my life to live again l would have made a rule to read some poetry and listen to some music at least once every week; for perhaps the parts of my brain now atrophied would thus have been kept active through use. The loss of these tastes is loss of happiness, and may pos sibly be injurious to the intellect. and more probably to the moral character, by enfeebling the emotional part of our nature.-Darwin.

Man Knows Own Character.

It is an error to suppose that no man understands his own character. Most persons know even their fail- ings very well, only they persist in giv- ing them names different from those usually assigned by the rest of the world: and they compensate for this mistake by naming, at first sight, with singular accuracy, these very ~failings In others.-Sir Arthur Helps.

WANT SPEED ON REPAWNG
HIGHWAY THROUGH FORDS

By Special Correspondent.
FORDS, Sept. 23:-It has become
a question among many citizens of
this place as to what is going to be
done about the repaving of theNroad
from Rogans' corner TO Fords cor
ner. 1t is true that the General
Utilities Company is getting ready
to start work on the street, but the
business people are considering that
cold weather is coming and it will
soon be almost impossible to finish
the work before winter sets in.
The street, which is to undergo
reconstruction, is the main business
section of the town. If this road is
torn up and not finished before it
is too late. 1t is feared that a detour
will have to be maintained all win
ter. which will cut out the main
street to traffic. Many citizens ex-
pressed their opinion that some eff
fort should be put forth to speed
up the work on this road, as the
contract has been let long enough to
show results.
