LEADERSHIP AT LAST

At last the Harding administration
is showing some signs of real life. Adj
hitting that the President has had a
hard time satisfying his party fac
lions, he has now done wise and
statesmanlike act by agreeing to call
a conference of the leading world pow
ers for the purpose of considering Il
plan for disarmament. 1t looks like
Secretary Hughes is on the right track
as well as on the job. 1t is most
creditable thing he and Mr.. Harding
have Jointly done, no matter who
might have been the leader in the pro-
posal. 1t required leadership of the
highest type to bring this valuable
state of things about. If the sOreheads
do not get together battery of oppos-
ing forces and try to hold the old line
kickers into bucking again something
genuinely good is likely to come into
being. 1t is blessing that cannot

GREAT TUN OF HEIDELBERG
ster Receptacle Held 528 Hogs
heads of Wine.

The construction of the great tun of
Heidelberg, in the castle of the Princes
Palatine of the Rhine, was begun In
1889 and was not finished until more
than two years later.
1t was composed Of beams twenty
seven feet long and had diameter of
eighteen feet. The iron hopping was
LOO pounds in weight, and the cost,
figured in our money, was nearly
$4,000 1t could hold 52S hogsheads
and the value at that time Of the wine
1t contained was in the neighborhood
of $4,000.
When the cellarer drew wine out of
the cask he assembled several flights of
wooden stairs leading to the top
about the middle was bunghole, into
which was inserted an instrument
made in the form of a spout, with
which the wine was drawn up and
placed in a vessel provided for the
purpose.
There was another tun built. evident.
ly succeeding the one just described
in 1851; this was Sc feet long and "a
feet high, with capacity of 800 hogs
heads. or 2S3,2O0 bottles. This cask
has not been in use since the latter
part of the Eighteenth century.

ISLANDS FOUND BY SPANIARD
Solomons, in the Southern Pacific,
Were Discovered in 1867 by
Aware de Mendana.

The Solomon islands, in the south
ern Pacific, long before Australia was
discovered were known to daring
voyagers. In 1867 a famous Spanish
navigator named Aware de Mendana
sailed from Peru to discover a great
south continent. Three months cruis-
ing brought him to the Solomons and
Ysabel island, which he named, as his
log states, "after his much-loved
wife"
Mendana cruised for six months In
the group, and was so impressed with
the richness and fertility of these
tropic lands that he named them the
Solomons, in the hope that on his re-
turn his cOuntrymen would believe
they were the source from which King
Solomon obtained the gold for his
great temple. This story, he thought,
would encourage the colonization of
the islands, and he conceived the
vainglorious ambition Of becoming the
king of q new Spain. On his return
home, so brightly did ne paint the
prospects that he was soon able to
prepare an expedition of many hun
dreds Of settlers, including his wife
and her three brothers. In the party
were also two sailors, afterward
known to fame as connected with the
discovery of Australa-Fernandez de
Quiros and Fuis Vaes de Torres.
The expedition failed through sick
ness and bad management; In fact,
1t never reached the Solomons at all,
but instead-owing to faulty naviga-
tion-arrived at the northern islands
of the New Hebrides group Here after
few months, Mendana died, disap-
pointed and broken-hearted man.

Impressive Thrift Lesson.

The father of ten-year-Old boy In
New York was besieged by his young
hopeful to buy certain plaything
amounting in value to 500, says
Thrift. Day after day the father was
coaxed, cajoled and threatened. He
put up numerous defensive arguments
that were brushed aside with scorn
and bitterness. Finally the father
said: "SOn, which would you rather
have, this toy or so cents a month as
long as you liver
The boy chose the so cents month
for life. The father invested $10O
in gilt-edged security yielding six
per cent and the boy was given a les
son in thrift and the value of money
that will be Of untold value to him as
long as he lives.

MISLEADING

1t is never profitable in the end to
mislead the public in any advertising
appeal. 1t is almost invariably retro
active.
A case in point:
The elevated stations of New York
contain a large poster advertisement
of sale of lots in Palisades Park
Opposite Grants Tomb" the an
nOuncement says, Sin New Jersey"
Now, as a matter of fact, this is not
the truth, literally, or otherwise. 1t
was meant to deceive the responsive
reader and the intending home seeker
to take the car and ride two and half
miles or more northwest of Grants
Tomb) and from no point of which
New York or Grants Tomb is visible.
Palisades Park is sufficiently attrac-
tive to have the truth told of it, and it
does not need misleading statements
about it's charm of location to lead the
home-builder to its doors. 1t pays to
tell the truth.

Miss Fannie Bradshaw has been ten

school at Orlando, Fla, but has de-
clined it. The position was very
fine one, teaching dramatic action and
elocution, but as it would require her
to be away from home for eight
months in the year, she could not
make up her mind to it. Miss Brad
shaw is one of the most popular men,
bers of Palisades social set, and going
so far.from home would be grievous

Said Mr.. F. G. Schaefer of West
Palisade this week: "While we are
newcomers in Palisade, am surely en-
thusiastic about it, l thought long
time before making up my mind, but
Palisade suits me. l want to say,
also, that the Fourth of July celebra-
ton would do credit to any city, let
alone a small village like Palisade. 1t
was the spirit of the people put into it
that caught me. 1 had number of
guests for the week end and July in
elusive, and they have gone home, but
they have not forgotten Palisade. We
have had letters from all of them, and
they said a lot about our Fourth of
July, especially the fireworks. That
scene down at the Fairgrounds was
wonder in my way of thinking and
could not be beat"
All of which Palisade is sure to APP
preciate and take note of.

one of those fair minded white Amer,

it or worth was elected member OF
the board in 1918.
Mr.. Sheriff, proprietor of the Capitol
Hill Monument company and former
president of the board was appointed
last year to the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Mr.. Edward O'Dea.
Mr. Hutchinson, who halls from the
south side, served one term on the
board from 1913 to 1916 and is now
filing out the unexpired term of Ralph
Nichols.
The Bystander respectfully calls up
on the colored people of this commu-
nifty to stand unitedly and firmly be-
hind the present school board members
who have been fearlessly battling for
right and principal and who have
shown themselves to be more fair in the
dealings with our people than their
predecessors.
With a big building program con-
fronting every taxpayer and with the
welfare of the nearly 1000 Negro school
children at heart, the Bystander urges
that Mrs. MaeKinnon, Mr.. P. B. Sher-
if and Mr.. Charles Hutchinson be tri-
umphantly elected to the school board
at Mondays election.
