From the time we rise until the

association either with coal itself or
one of its by-products. The leaven.

bake It with are from coal; so are the
agents that tan our shoes, and that
vucanize the rubber of our automo-
bile tires. We are indebted to coal for
the various forms Of ammonia that 20

tomobiles and internal.combustion en-

furnishes us picric acid, and trinitro.

1t will be possible, according to
Washington authorities, to preserve
the historic battleship Oregon as a
floating memorial, when the scrapping
provisions Of the naval treaty are put
into effect. In order to do this, the
guns will have to be made ineffective
and certain other changes will be nec-
essary. Perhaps the old hulk with its
teeth drawn will prefgure that day
when battleship will be a quaint
anachronism, a strange curiosity in
some few ports where visitors may
gather to wonder and comment on an
age that made them possible.

Rather curious news from Vienna is
that CzeCh0slOyakia will lend Austria
half a billion Of Czech crowns. How
much these are worth we do not know,
but they can't be as much deprecated
as Austrian crowns. The singular
thing about this transaction is that
C2eChoSloyakia is one of the new ma
tons carved from the dual monarchy
or perhaps it would be nearer the
truth to say that it is one of the
fragments into which the dual mon
archy broke when it fell. One would
suppose Austria, a going concern even
II greatly reduced, would be in a bet
ter position to lend to one Of the new
states than the reverse. But Austria
seems to have been sinking deeper
and deeper into the slough, Outdoing
Germany in the issue of irredeemabIe
paper money: and while the Austrian
consul general in New York brings
back from his own country news of
the economic situation is
still very serious.

WINTER WHEAT GROWERS CAN
SAVE S5G.OOO,OO0.

According to the L. S. Department
of Agriculture, the Hessian fly does
an average annual damage of $780,
100000 to the winter wheat crop in
this country. Injury amounting to
twice that amount has occurred in a
single wear. ANY insect which creates
such havoc is bound to receive atten-
tion since he must be conquered If he
himself is not to conquer.
Practically all of the Experiment
Stations which have studied the hab-
its OF the Hessian fly have arrived at
the same conclusions regarding him.
In order to hurt the crop, the adult fly,
emerging in late August and Septem-
Der must find the leaves of the young
wheat plant upon which it can lay its
eggs. Thus the Experiment Stations
have determined approximately the
dates in each State when the flies
will be gone, and if seeding is delay
ed until that time. most of the dam
age will be avoided.
The Stations have also found that
from two to three hundred pounds
per acre of a high analysis complete
fertilizer applied at seeding will push
the cron ahead so that it will go into
the winter months in about as good
condition to withstand winter killing
as a crop sown several weeks earlier

Rapidly OF Growth.

One of the outstanding features of
the story of the upbuilding OF this
gigantic corporation with its multitude
of details is the rapidity with which
it has grown in the comparatively
short time since its inauguration in
1920. Needless to say this required
much experience in the chain store
business, great grasp of the organiza-
tion of retail business, and eXtraor-
binary executive ability. Added TO this
there was need of supreme confidence
in the success of an ideal and ability
to mpart to others those qualities of
enthusiasm OF the objective which
make for success in any undertaking.
How we'll this succeeded may be
realized when it is stated that the
assets of the company have grown to
the large sum approximately $1c.-
800, 900. as shown by the recent audit
ed financial statement prepared by
Warwick. Mitchell & Company.

Who Originated Memorial Day!

AS Memorial Day is now one OF our
National holidays many are inquirlnS
as to the origin Of the day.
In the New England magazine OF
June, 1905. Earl Markle says that
lanes Redpath was the originator OF
this memorable day. At the close OF
the late Civil War, a little colored girl
said to him, Lets all of us go and
git a'mfuls and a'mfuls OF posies, an
les Jude the graves from sight till
we can't see 'em agin nevah no mo.
This set Mr. Redpath thinking and he
not only carried out the little colored
girls suggestion, but in his capacity
as a war newspaper correspondent
spread the idea all over the country.
The first Memorial Day was therefore
observed, May l, 1865, in Charleston,
s. c.. as result of Mr.. Redpath's eff
forts.
On the other hand Leslie's weekly,
of May 81, 1906, gives credit to Gen.
John A. Logan for originating the day
at a Soldiers and Sailors Convention
at Pittsburgh, September %. 1866.
was signed by Gen. Logan paper set
ting May 80 apart for decorating the
graves of comrades who died in de-
Tense of their country. The same pap
er mentions Gen. Jno. Murray, Water
loo, y. Y. as assembling on the morn
ing of May 81, 1866 company of vet
Grams who decorated the graves of de-
parted comrades with fitting cere-
monies.
We will now let the reader judge
who was the real originator of this
eventful day.

CRACK MARKSMEN TO COMPETE
IN ITALIAN RIFLE MATCHES

Washington. August 24.-Crack
riflemen of the United States, who
have made notable records in national
and international matches. will COM
pete in the International Rifle
Matches. to be held at Milan, Italy,
beginning September u. They will
leave New York City for CherbOurg,
France. August %, and go directly to
the headquarters of the American
Forces at CoblenZ, Germany, from
there proceeding to Milan to take
part in the matches.
Nearly all of the European nations
have entered their best riflemen in
the Milan Match, but they will meet
with strong competition from the
American marksmen. Among the U.
S. Marine members of the American
Team are Sergeant Morris Fisher,
who won the individual championship
of the world at Antwerp, Belgium in
1920. and Captain Joseph Jackson and
Marine Gunner Calvin A. Lloyd, both
of whom have made phenomenal
scores in former matches.
