HERO OF OTHER DAYS

largely through the stubborn work of Knap's battery.
 Throughout the civil war the battery fought with the same daring spirit that at times verged to the line of reckless ness, but which endeared it's name to every soldier in the army of the Potomac. In 1863 the government decided to make a higher use of the services of Captain knap than he was giving so brilliantly in the field, and his highly specialized en- gineering knowledge was given play as di- rector of the government cannon foundry operating in this city. His skid and Judgment in producing the most effective weapons of that period were of ines timabie value. and, when he was promot- ed to the rank of major in 1864, Pittsburg councils presented him a service sword inscribed in commemoration of his work. Major Knap was graduate of Rensselaer, Polytechnic Institute. Troy, N. Y., and entered the military service as lieutenant of company in the Twenty-eighth regi- ne1lt,

Quite a Crowd

Never in my life have I seen such a crowd as that which attended West Lake Monday" said B. c. Gilmore" and am sure there were at least 10000 people there. The lake was just crowd ed all day. long and when dancing started at noon, both floors were so crowded that it was impossible to move without running up against some one. The whole park was a sea of humanity. and despite the tempera- ture and the crowd every one seemed to be enjoying themselves. If the other resorts in this district were visited by as many people in comparison as West Lake, then every one in this district must have have been seeking amuse- ment.
 The public generally seems to be starved for amusements. and is looking in all directions for something to af- ford them pleasure for the time being"

The Mistake That
 Senator Reed Made

Senator Reed Made
 e ENATOR REED of Missouri ac- g cepts rcpudiation by his party as challenge to further run counter to it's plans, its blanks and it's lead ership.
 On his return from San Francsico, where he was refused a seat as dele gate from his state, he tells his con- stituents that "this is not one-man country. It is a 10000, ,000-man country. If you would keep this re- public safe, you must do your own thinking"
 None will dispute this. Neither will it be disputed that the safety of society demands that, while each in dividual does his own thinking and none would interfere, there must be a surrender of the individual in those things that are for the common good.
 Laws must be obeyed whether they suit the individual or do not suit him. In order to achieve some sort of order in the management of public affairs, there must be some agreed ground  5 of common action and there must be leaders whose authority is unques- tioned and to whom fealty is the su- preme law.
 In democratic governments the people choose these leaders and de- eide their platforms. Individuals do not assume separate leadership, but effect political organizations with a common leader at their head.
 The trouble with Senator Reed arose from his willingness, his eager ness to pull down his own party leader. Men within the party will stand for respectful criticism of their chief by one of his lieutenants, but when this criticism becomes malig- nant obsession it will be repudiated.
 The men who trod the path chosen by Reed have uniformly lost by it. Vardaman and Hardwick were re- tired from office. Hoke Smith was beaten in his own states presidential primary by Pennsylvanian and achieved only the distinction of par ing with Tom Watson, apostle of un- limited paper currency and once pres idential candidate of the peoples party.
 The point at which the critic within ! the party should stop, is where his fealty to party organization and lead. ership shows itself hanging by a slender thread. The critic within the party should be constructive, not de. structive.
 Reed chose to make war on his or. ganization's leadership. That is what the organization has repudiated even those in the organization whe may be as opposed to the President's League of Nations as Senator Reed

CURED.

I've practiced all the rules of health,''
 Said one whose face was pale, And paid out not a little wealth,
 But quite without avail. Dull pains are throbbing in my back, -
 They're in my head and eyes, And one that seems the worst aiack,
 Is where my tummy lies.' Twas thus he mourned a creature sad,
 Who sighed the whole day long And not a bit of pleasure had
 Amid the busy throng. At last he met certain man
 Endowed with common sense. Although to any learned plan
 He made no great pretense. But when he'd whispered in the ear Of him who suffered so, That wretehed wight saw, straight and
 clear,
 The way that he should go In less than thirty days the change Was wonderful to see; His movements had a wider range
 And more vitality. He ceased to groan and shake his head And lean upon stick, He walked about with firmer tread, No longer feeling sick The cure that came so speedily Cost not cent of pelf; His illness disappeared when he Quit thinking of himself.

Think in Time.

A word of caution even to the
wisest is not amiss at times. The
season is approaching when all
people will be making their Christ
mas purchases. The fact that
money has been plentiful for the
past few years has not removed the
element OF caution from our home
people. and neither has it blunted
their desire for economy. Caution
dictates that we buy from a house
that is known for its honesty and
its willingness to guarantee the
quality of its goods. Economy re.
quires that quality be proportion
ate to price.
The home dealer is known to
you. He can not afford to sell you
a shoddy or inferior article because
it would come back to him. He
can not afford to gouge you be-
cause it would put him out of bus.
mess. Both his honor and his
business safety compel him to give
you square deal. Think this
over before the rush is on. People
who think twice before they buy
once seldom make a mistake.

Tell 1t to the Editor.

Every newspaper editor is desir-
Gus of printing all of the legitimate
news Of his subscription field
That is the object of his paper,
But unfortunately an editor is
partly human-he at least is
moulded in human form. He
does not possess a dozen pair of
hands, or legs, or eyes, or ears for
the collection of this vast fund oi
information.
That is why the editors urges
you to tell him what yon know
to keep him informed of the doings
of yourself and family. of your
friends, or of the community in
general. 1t is the only way to
make good paper. and a good
paper is one of the prime resqui.
sites of good community in which
to live and do business.
Tell it to the editor. He'll tell
others if it is tellable.

Rule for Measuring Hay in Stack

AT this time of near great deal OF

there was such rule, gave US the fol-

There is no official Federal or Stat e
rule for measuring hay in the stack .
1t is comparatively easy to get the
number of cubic feet in the stack. But
it is extremely difficult to estimate the
number of cubic feet to allow for ton.
The rule to get the number of cubic
feet in stack is as follows:

cubic feet, F-a factor, O-the over in

length. To be accurate, the value of
F or the factor will vary from rs to a
