East Newark Opposes Paving Bic

East Newark Opposes Paving Bids
At large and representative meet
ing Of East Newark residents, held
at the L. B. church last week, it was
the unanimous opinion that the re-
cent bids received for the East Main
street paving should not be accepted,
and that the job should be re-adver-
tised. 1t was stated by those in a
position to know that there was no
just reason for the big advance in
price owe the bids made in 1919, as
there had been no raise in the cost Of
material or labor since that time.
The price now asked is $4,159.70
greater than the 1919 bid and $28,-
666.60 more than the work could have
been originally done for had it not
been held up by injunction proceed
ings.

DAY OF THE SAIL NOT OVER
Many Years Likely to Elapse Before

the High Seas.

Is the dayo sail over? A few
years ago many people would have an

give. Square-riggers, there Is no
doubt, are decreasing in numbers; but
recent years have witnessed remark
able revival in the building of sailing
craft. Most of the new sailing yes

ton engines for use in calm or con-
trary winds, the sails being brought
into use in favorable weather. And
the sailing ship of the future will most

beard. They are considered remark
ably handy vessels, especially adapted
to sailing close-hauled, that is, as
near to the wind as possible And
since sail must always remain the
cheapest form of propulsion, it would
seem likely that-especially since the
coming of the internal combustion en-

sail-the threatened disappearance of
the sailing ship from the seas will

'TIPPECAN0E AND TYLER, TOO
Election RaIIyng Cry That Figured
In Election OF William Henry
Harrison as President.

"Tlppecanoe and Tyler, too" was
the rallying cry Of the Wings in the
election of 1910. William Henry Har-
rSon was the choice of the Wings.
The Wings adopted no platform, and
the only issue was whether or not the
Jackson-Van Buren, machine" should
remain in power. Even among the
Democrats there was much discomfort.
To attract this discontinued element
the Wings nominated for vice president
John Tyler of Virginia, who was a
well-known anti-Jackson Democrat
The campaign was the most exciting
the United States had seen up to that
time. Harrison's election was attrib-
uted to his military record. The cleo
ton Is often called "the log cabin and
hard cider campaign" One end of
Harrison's house at North Bend was
an old log cabin which had been COW
cred with clapboards. campaign
biography said that Harrisons table,
"instead of being covered with excit-
ing wines, is well supplied with the
best cider" At first this simplicity re-
ceived jeering from the Democrats,
but the Wings seized the opportunity
to make the democracy of their candi-
date a feature of the canvass. Nina
ture log cabins and barrels of hard
cider generally were in appearance
whenever Wing orator spoke. Har-

STAMP GUM FROM POTATOES
That Vegetable the Foundation OF
Sticky Substance That is Used
on Postage Stamps.

Every time person ticks United

of sweet potato. The gum on the
stamps comes5from that vegetable. All
of the gum used on the stamps is
mixed at the bureau of engraving and
printing. where the stamps are made.

stamps have been printed.
In liquid form, the gum is forced
UP through pipes from the basement,

to a series of machines consisting of
rollers between which the sheets

Of sweet potato mucilage passes from
the rollers into long horizontal fue
filed with hot air. When it comes
out at the other end of the flue the
gum Is dry.
There are two kinds of postage
mucilage. If one could see the pack
ages of stamps as they come to the
postoffice ready to be sold, one would
find them labeled, according to season,
summer gum" or winter gum" The
former Is much the harder of the two,

APPEALED TO HIGHER COURT
Decree From Judge Cupid Enabled
German Engineer to Laugh at
Government Regulations.

If a government refuses a passport
there is q higher authority that may
be appealed to in certain cases, as
demonstrated by the recent experience
of German engineer This author
ity is no less parsonage than Dan
Cupid himself.
The German engineer was preparing
to marry and the wedding day was
set, the Paris Journal des Debats
states. At the last moment it was
discovered that the bride-to-be had
not obtained a passport, and as she
lived in a neigh9oring country there
was no possible way for her to get
into Germany at the hour appointed
iIOr the ceremony.
Rather than postpone the happy
event, however, the couple devised
an ingenious plan. They had the
wedding party gather at the frontier
and the marriage service was read
while the bridegroom stood on German
soil and the bride on the other side
of the line. When the ceremony was
over the groom reached out his hand,
drew his bride over the line into Ger
nany and drove away in a waiting
coach.
The authorities were impotent, for
the lady was now German citizen by
marriage, and as such had no need of
a passport

FIND DIAMONDS IN ARKANSAS

Most Of the worlds diamonds come

FAINT alike TO the tools of agriculture

Owing TO the disintegration of the
surface soil and the action of the
weather during many centuries this
layer OF gumbo was found to hold
diamonds. But nobody ever mined
diamonds from mud before. The his
tory Of diamond mining in India. and
South Africa contained no reference
to extracting gems from such mate
rial. and the American mining engi-
neers had brand-new problem on
their hands. They tried putting the
gumbo through a Hardinge mill,
contrivance resembling a rotary con-
crete mixer. with small granite blocks
tumbliDg over each other and crush.
Ing whatever kind of rock or earth 1t
poured In Mt the top. But the gumbo
wouldn't respond. They tried reduc-
ing 1t with streams of water, but the
gumbo formed sticky black balls that
wouldn't disintegrate.
Finally after much experiment they
found a solution. They poured the
damp clay into a revolving cast-iron
cylinder, and by means of a strong
drarght forced flames through the
tumbling mass. Thoroughly dried by
the intense heat. with the result that
