PROGRESS Of THE
TOWN

Perhaps some of you think we are
rather OVERRIDING the matter when
We harp so continually upon making
a good impression as a town, on
outsiders. You may thoughtlessly
argue that it doesn't make any diff
ference what other people think
that we know what we have and
that is all that is necessary.
If it were, we may rest assured that
we now have all we will ever get.
In order to progress it is necessary
to secure favorable attention out
side of our city. We must induce
good live folks to make their home
in our town, and we must encour-
age outside business men to consid-
er our advantages from a CONNER
cial standpoint. This is never ac-
complished by a spirit of isolation
by spirit of SNUG complacency
We've got to keep moving and foot
our horn at the street crossings.
Unless you take pride in your
hAr
others to do so? Unless you work
for its growth and advancement,
how can you exect others to be in
terested in it? Unless you can see
in it remarkable possibilities, how |
can you expect others to find them? |
Don't go about barking at everyone
because the town looks a little out
at the elbows-whose fault is it?
What composes a town anyway? Is
a town the streets, the business
houses, the residences that happen
to have been placed on a few blocks
of earth? No-a town is the peo-
pie that make up the population. Is
it the travelling men who come in
on one train and leave on the next?
is it the tourists that go through in
thtir cars? No-it's the people
who sspend their lives within its
borders-who put the imprint of
their personality upon it's customs
its ordinances, it's appearance.
In that case, whose fault is it if
tht town looks a little seedy - if
raveling men occasionally say it is
a good place to die in? 1t is nobo-
ly's fault but the citizens of the
own who persistently knock it. The
growth and development of town
S in inverse ratio to the number
md strength of it's knockers.
Regardless of what your reputation
or veracity may be at hom, people
re going to believe you abroad
When you say your town is on the
lead list. So put pad on your
ongue if you want your town to
improve.
If you have made up your mind
0 live in town, then stand up for
!. and If you know positively no
God, then silence is golden. Do all !:
on can to help along every man !:
-ho is engaged in legitimate bust |:
ess. Do not send away for every |:
hing nice you want and still expect |.
lie home men to keep a stock to J
lit the within of one or two custo- !!
ers. The success of your fellow |!
'wnsmen will be your success. |.
Exchange.

claim was based on the voyage
of De Soto up the Mississippi
river. France, through the ex-
plorations of La Sale from the
north and the early entry of
French priests from Canada,
considered this territory theirs.
As for England. she rested her
claims on the discovery of North
America by the Cabots, and in
the charter granted to Virginia
included all the country lying
to the West.
The French were the first to
get a foOthOld in Ohio, but the
English pioneers, who shortly
began to drift westward, firm
ly established their settlements
In the fertile Ohio valley. At
ter a long period of warfare,
in which the Indians played
leading part, the Northwest Ter
ritory was finally ceded to the
United States by the Treaty of
Independence in 1888. And vir-
ginia and other states, which
had laid claim to portions of
this region turned over their
rights to the federal govern
ment.
The government of the North I.
west Territory was formally !.
created by the ordinance of I;
1877. People from the East mi !.
grated into this territory in !;
such numbers that by 1903 Ohio
was taken into the Union as the
seventeenth state. The fourth
largest state in size of popula-
tlon, Ohio has "a electoral votes

ranks only thirty-fifth, which !
shows how densely it is popu-
lated. 1t Is noted as the state
of Presidents. President Hard
ing makes the seventh Ohioan /.

The name Ohio is derived from .
the Iroquois word O-hee-yo, !
meaning beautiful river" 1t .
was first applied by the Indi-
ans of the Five Nations to what .
we now call the Allegheny riv-
er, one of the chief tributaries /;
or the Ohio. Gradually the
name came to include the whole
river, sometimes even being APP
Piled to the Mississippi. Later
IL was confined to the river be-
tween Pittsburg and Cairo. and
appropriately the first state
formed on its northern bank
was named after it. Ohio is ]
often called the Buckeye State I 4

 ON PENNA R. R,

Chicago. Sept. 7.-The U. s. Rail- road Labor Board met in executive session today to consider the action of the Pennsylvania Railroad in re- fusing to abide by one of it's orders.
 The difference grew out of an cleo tion held by the employees of the road to make representatives to act for them in conference with the railroad officials regarding company rules and working conditions. The read 'hcld that all representative elected must be employees of the road while the workers claimed the right to have the names of their organiza- ton officers appear on the ballot Members of the six shop craft unions affiliated with the3 American Feder- ation of Labor refused to vote and the board ordered the road to call a new election, on CT before August IS.
 The road asked for more time and was given until August 25 to comply. The road then announced the board had exceeded it's authority and re- uqested that it reverse it's decision. This the board refused to do and in sisted that the order be compiled with.
 In statement, Elisha Lee, vice president of the eastern division of the road, accused the board of "gra- Iauitous and unwarranted interi,er- ence" and said the read was willing to leave It to public opinion as to whether the board was right. He intimated that the road would con- tinue to refuse to abide by the boards order.
 Beyond censuring officials of the road, the board has no authority to take any direct action when its de- ciSions are violated it was said

 SNEEZELESS LAND

8 Washington, Sept. ' = A-t-t-e-n- k-e-r-c-h-o-or Wheezes and heavy sneezesI List to a tale of the promised land where they sneeze not neither do they wheeze
 This land is the Land of Dacotah, just west by north of the land of Min nehaha, she who gave the laugh to her old papah. This sneezeless land, the American Forestry Magazine says. is the Black Hills country in South Dakota modern for Dacotah. where the late T. Roosevelt and Seth Bull lock with their Tnarksmanshlp made the Indians jealous.
 The sneeze season begins about the times the apples fall, the lowing herds are fed the pumpkin and the boys get off in a corner of the fence and try to smoke corn silk.
 The scientific men do not give the exact reason why the sneeze power is helpless in the Black Hills that Theo- dore Roosevelt loved. It IS the rare air. of which there is a lot Perhaps it is tue wind cave near Hot Springs, out of wich rushes cold air that gives immediate relief to those pestered with colds, lay fever and asthma The cave is a Government institution.

 Important orders have been receiv- ed in Lawrence and those mills not yet busy, are expected to open shortly.
 The woo1en textile industry like wise reports increased business and optimism. According to William M Woolen Company, all the mills of his concern are already assured of capa- city business throughout the winter. This will help to quiet much of the unemployment fear which has been felt in New England. The American Woolen Company, alone employs ap- proximately twenty thousand em- p1oyees.
 In Lawrence, where almost 10000 mill operatives have been unemp1oy- ed, the mills were to resume ninety per cent. operations with a corre- spending force of operatives
 The New York cotton market rose s10 a bale yesterday, the maximum permitted under the rules of that ex- change Further increases are ex- pected today.
 An actual labor shortage exists in New Bedford. This became known today when it was learn ed several mills sought to put on night shifts but could not get suf- ficient help. The only reason the mills are not working with full forces in the labor scarcity, mill officials predict, that many who left the city ment during the period of depression vii return before winter.

F inc Display Of Outfit For
 College Girl

The bedroom and study of a college girl of moderate means are vividly reproduced in a display which is be- ing held on the second floor of the D. M. Read Company's store this week. Every article the girl would have, even her chafng dish for a popular "spread'' and a portrait of her favorite screen star, are included in the set.
 The idea of presenting the display was suggested by Miss Marion Don aldson, we'll known budget and ex- pense expert, and was cleverly work ed out by Miss Bennett and other members of the advertising force of the Read company.
 No unnecessary Or unusual amount of apparel is exhibited, but enough to give a variety. A good looking dark serge dress and a warm coat probably just a bit too stout for a suit, while a few waists, a sailor hat, a fur chOker. and a pretty suit, are exhibited for the miss who wishes to feel a bit more business like and probably comfy.
 There is a. riding habit, hat and boots for the morning canter, and a few little morning and afternoon dresses. For sport, a flannel coat and white serge skirt, or a sweater and satin skirt are shown.
 The furnishings of the study are a couch, bookcase. desk, two chairs and tea table while the bedroom may boast of a dressing table and chair, dresser and cot.
 All women and girls are invited to visit the old reading room in the Read store and see this attractive dis play. Probably many High school and normal school girls would be in- terested in the charming way in which these two little rooms are fur nished and would experiment in their own bedrooms and studies.

 IS NOT ENCOURAGING

Mexico City. Mexico, Sept. Mex ico is facing the prospect of another dreary. workless Winter for the masses.
 Mining is still stagnant. Some of the mines which resumed operations at the time President Obregon issued his decreeS to stimulate the mining industry and give employment to the idle miners have shut down.
 Closing of mines is reported from the States of Coahula, Chilhua hua, Durango, San Luis, Potosi, Aguasca- lientes and other sections.
 Most of the properties closed are silver mines, the owners declaring that they have been unable to oper- ate at a profit
 Crop shortage and actual crop fail ure reported in some places have added to the gravity of the situation.
 While gloomy reports are coming from many mining and agricultural sections, news from Tampico indicates improvement in the oil situation there where new wells have been brought
