TEN COMMAND
MENTS OF MAIL
ORDER HOUSES

/. You shall sell your farm prod
ucts for cash, where you can, but not
to us, for we buy nothing from you.
2. You shall believe US, and buy all
you can of US, for we want your best,
because we do not know you person
ally.
3. You shall send your money to us
in advance, so we can buy the goods
from the factory-with your money:
you may have to wait few weeks,
but that is our business method.
4. You shall get help from your
nearest city or village to build good
roads, so you may easily haul our
goods from the depot, but do not ask
help from us-we don't help to build
good roads.
5. You shall buy church bells and
altar utensils from US, and send the
money in advance-that is our rule
6. You shall get all the help you
can for your church from the business
men in your nearest village or city,
for, although we have more profit
from you than they, it is against our
rules to give to your churches.
7..You shall convert your neigh
bors also to your faith in us, SO that
they will buy from us, for we have
room for more money.
8. You shall look at the pretty pic
lures in our catalog as often as you
can, so as to strengthen your desire
for things you do not need, but which
you may order with other goods to
save freight. Send US all of your
ready cash, SO that you may not have
any of it left to buy necessities from
your home dealers.
9. You shall believe us rather than
your home business men, for we want
your trade We get to be million
aires on your support. Don't be bluff
fed.
10. You shall call on the business
people of your own vicinity for help
and credit, if you meet with hard
luck, trouble or sickness. It's your
money we want; we don't know you
unless your orders are accompanied
by cash.

GOOD PROGRESS
ON new bridge

Daily evidence is visible that the new
bridge is being pushed rapidly along,
and the railing of the old bridge is
lined almost all day with an ever
changing gallery of interested specta-
tors, watching The various operations
that are going on.
The footing for the south wing of
the west abuttment is being poured
this week. The first pier foundation
has been poured as high as water lev
el, and the forms were being prepared
Wednesday for the upper part of that
pier. At the same time the coffer-dam
for the second pier is being made ready
for the pouring of that foundation.
Soundinsg were made Wednesday for
the third coffer-dam and the timbers
for it are being prepared on the bank
of the river, whence they will be float
ed to place, not far from the middle
of the stream.
The concrete is being mixed at the
mixing plant on Second avenue north,
and is hauled in trucks to the bridge
and poured by means of spouts into
the forms below
The pumping of water from the cof-
fer-dams is done with large rotary
pumps, one run by steam and one by
large electric motor.
At the present rate of progress and
barring accidents, the piers, of which
there are to be six, will be poured be-
fore cold weather sets in. Meantime,
a brief study of traffic conditions on
the bridge emphasizes the need of the
new one. Occasionally a large load of
hay or other bulky material on the
bridge will obstruct dozen Or more
motor cars, trucks, ETC., making pro-
gress extremely slow, and congesting
traffic on the approaches to the bridge
almost to the danger point. The new
structure will be most highly appre-
ciated Improvement.

GETS 20 YEARS
FOR BURNING
CHILDREN

Ashland-Mrs. John Koscielny, who
confessed burning her daughter and
two stepchildren in barn at Lublin,
Taylor county, last week, was SEN
fenced to twenty years by Judge Ris-
jord in circuit court here.
After an investigation made by Dist
Atty. Andersen, Taylor county, and
Charles Good, state fire marshal, Mrs.
Koscielny was arrested for firing the
barn, in which Eleanor Marszielek, 13,
daughter of Mrs Koscielny, and Kath-
crime, II, and John 8, children of Mr..
Koscielny by former marriage, were
burned to death. The woman was
taken to Medford before the justice
court, where she confessed firing the
barn with the intention of burning
the children to get revenge on her
husband, who she said mistreated her.
The three children were in the habit
of sleeping in the barn during the
summer months. The night of the
fire Mrs. Koscielny got out of bed,
locked the barn door from the outside
and set fire to the barn and then re-
turned to her bed. When the fire was
discovered she ran down the road and
notified a neighbor, then rushed into
the barn and carried out pig. Dur
ing the investigation she showed no
emotion, and was seemingly more con-
cerned over the loss of a pig, heifer
and hay than over the death of the
children. The family is Polish.

.SOMETHiNGTOB
THANKFUL FOR

Compared with Europe" said Mr..
Frank Presbrey of New York yester-
day, "the United States is just revel-
ing in prosperity"
Mr.. Presbrey returned this week
from business tour of the European
continent. He knows the truth that
he tells. So should every American
know it and thank heaven for America.
What if the ordinary American were
working for so or 80 cents day and
glad to get it? What if his living
costs were twice as high as during the
war?
What if man did not know from
one month to the next whether his dol
lar would be worth so or 40 or even 80
cents !? What if the enormous taxes
he paid did not even serve the good
purpose of keeping his government
out of debt, but merely enabled it to
60 on piling up money burdens by the
billion to oppress his children and his
children's children?
What if a man had to wear paper
clothes and be glad to get them, eat
horse meat and be thankful for it,
feed his family with quarter rations
and be grateful that he did not have
to starve them? And what if, in all
the poverty, uncertainty and sorrow,
he could see no way out, no prospect
of better things, but only omens of
revolution at home or war abroad?
If the man who thinks he is in bad
luck in New York or Illinois or Cali
fornia were in Germany or Austria or
Poland or any one of a half dozen O.
ther countries on the continent, he
would have around him and before
him only such conditions and pros
poets.
Millions of Americans have troubles
just now, but they do not have disaster
as their daily portion. Once in while
it is we'll to remember this fact and to
be grateful for it.
Compared with the continent of Eu-
rope, America today is a rose garden
of prosperity in full bloom. Let no
one forget it!

MARCONI
RADIOS TO MARS
ISREPORT

NEW YORK, Sept. IL. C. H.
Macbeth, London manager of the
Marconi Wireless Telegraph Com
pany, Ltd, today startled members of
the Rotary Club of New York by the
announcement Signor Marconi be-
lieved he had intercepted messages
from Mars.
The wireless inventor, he said, while
making atmospheric experiments
aboard his yacht, the Electra, in the
Mediterranean several months ago
discovered wireless wave lengths far
in excess of those used by the high
est powered radio stations. These
led him and other wireless experts to
believe Mars or some other planet
was trying to communicate with US.
Macbeth said the maximum length
of waves produced is $4,000 meters.
He said those picked up by Marconi
were about 100000 meters. He said
their regularity disproved any belief
they are produced by electrical dis
turbances, and the only. resemblance
to the code used on this planet is in
the letter "v" used in the information
al code. He said an Interpretation
may possibly be made.
