The dining room has been thoroughly
and completely screened.
Mass was celebrated in the chapel
Sunday morning by Father Barry.
Fresh laundered blankets were distri-
buted throughout the cell houses the past
week.
Have you noticed how much greener
the lawns are than they were at this time
last year?

Blade or Physical Culture.
The St. Paul Fire and Marine Insur-
ance Co. baseball team are scheduled to
play here Saturday next. They say they
are going to "burn up" our boys.
"A real reel show was thrown on the
screen in our last movie presentation.
Little Jackie Coogan is certainly wonder
and he made a decided hit with our
audience. We hope to have the pleasure
of seeing this "great little artist" frequent
ly in the future.
The Paine, Weber & Co. baseball
club of St. Paul, played return game
here on Saturday last. The first time they
played here only part of the team showed
up and the nine was filled out with local
talent. If you remember they were shut
out that game but laid it to the fact that
all of their men were not here. They had
their complete team Saturday, but, as far
as we can see, it did not make much diff
ference in the outcome. A full account of
the game and the score will be found in
another column.

WHERE THE SILVERY COLORADO
WINDS ITS WAY

AS the twilight slowly gathers round my
home among the hills,
And all nature soon will settle down to rest,
And l sit and sadly ponder, and my heart
with longing fills,
We were welded in the June time, and
our hearts then knew no pain,
Fair nature seemed to smile on us that day.
Now she sleeps beneath the lilacs and
she'll ne'er come back again.
Where the silvery Colorado winds its way.
Chorus:
There's sob on every breeze
And sigh comes from the trees.
The meadow lark now croons a sadder lay.
But the sunlight plays no more, round my
cherries cabin door,
Where the silvery Colorado winds its way.
Now the silvery snow is cleaning on yon
distant mountain side,
Where we oftimes used to wander Nell
and 1,
And the birds are gaily singing, in the
valley far below,
Where l long some day to lay me down
and die.
There our lives were gay and happy in
the shadow of the hills.
My heart beat fonder for her day by day,
And l feel her presence near me,
AS l sit alone tonight,
Where the silvery Colorado winds its way.

SAVE THIS NEW WAY

This tells how $40 soon becomes SIS,
how $50 soon becomes $1OO, and how $500
soon becomes $1,000. 1t shows you how
to earn rs per cent in five years. And all
with the greatest safety.
The U. S. Government, through the
Treasury and Post Office Departments, has
developed new Savings System, one
which has received spontaneous welcome
from men and women throughout the Ma
ton.
The System is simple. 1t consists of new
U. S. Treasury Savings Certificates, issued
in denominations of SIS, $500, and $1,000
(maturity value at the end of FIVE years),
and sold on a discount basis for $40, $50,
and $780, respectively. This means ~
per cent interest, compounded semi annual
ly, or IS per cent for the full five-year
period.
They can be redeemed at any time be-
fore maturity at redemption prices which
increase from month to month, so that your
savings may earn constantly and yet be
available in an emergency.
Start now to make your money work for
you. Notify your officer as to the amount
you wish to invest.

SQUARE

Sez Bill, There's fellers that 'ud knock ye
clean cold,
If they thought by so doin' they'd clean
up some gold,
IN others, by heck in their low, measly way
Would do dirty work fer mighty small pay.
But Pm glad that there's some that gold
couldn't buy,
Who want to live right, and if you ask
'em why,
They jes smile an say, with a cool, quiet air,
That they amt specially good-they jes
want to be square"
Gosh Amt it great to meet one O. them
They're kind O. like hens teeth-real hard
to find.
But once in while by the side of Life's road
Yell find one that's actin like he really
You wanted friend-an' he offers his hand
An gives your'n a good shake that ye
both understand;
An all of sudden the worlds sweet an
fair,
Cause feller has hailed ye, that wants
to be square.
aye know" sez Bill, "I'm no springer no
I've seen some tough times, but they amt
made me sore,
Cause mos every time get trimmed good
an hard
could jes look around an find some good
pard,
Who'd smile an give me grip good an
strong,
(Gosh! It's sure great how that helps
along).
It's almost as good as regular prayer
To shake hands with a feller you knows
on the square,"
can sometimes" sez Bill, "when I'm all
by myself
l get thinkin bout when I'll be laid on the
shelf,
Amt skeered O the time er nothin' like that,
They amt nothin' to do then but jes 10
stand pat.
But git thinkin' o how it'll be when Pm
done,
When I'm settin there lookin' towards
Life's Western Sun;
An l can't keep from hopin' there'll be
some old pal there
Who'll tell the whole world that tried
to be square" Selected.

SILENT PHILOSOPHY

SILENT PHlLOSOPHY
Contributed
Socialism would be alright if everybody
were perfect, but if they were they
wouldn't need it.
Many of our laws are like cobwebs-
they catch the small fly but the big one
breaks through.
Facts are like birth marks you can cover
them up but you can't rub them out
Even good excuse may be bad at times.
If had man working for me who
was not fired with enthusiasm-Pd try to
fire him with enthusiasm. If that failed,
I'd fire him with enthusiasm.
There's as much danger if going too
slow as too fast.
Is-"Our Country Right or Wrong"-a
good motto? Think it over.
Most people believe in heredity until one
of the family does something he hadn't
ought to.
Head line-"Germany Faces Ruin"
Didn't we hear something during the war
about Germany being two faced.
Judge Lands discovered he couldn't
earn baseball salary and sit on the bench.
Babe Ruth would do well to profit by his
experience.
Many men are good for two things-no
good and good for nothing.
A good talker is usually one whose line
of bull you are hearing for the first time.
A wrong doer is often man who has
left something undone. But he is always
a man who has done something.
When your head begins to swell-it's a
sure sign you've reached your limit
Dream-but don't forget to wake up.
The fellow who is always kicking will
some day get kicked.
The fellow who has made good time 60
ing down hill will find his pace rather
slow when he tries to stage come back.
Tak-but be sure you are saying some
thing.
J. Ogden Armour, says: 81 want men
to come to me with decisions not for de-
cisions."
If you can't put it over-slip it under.
Did you ever notice how small some big
men are
There are men who put their trust in
riches also those who put their riches in
trusts
Every man is an Ex-something
A recent editorial says: Europe can't
understand our Senate. Well we're in the
same fx,-we can't either.

Little Steels Getting in Action

One of the noticeable developments
attending yesterdays market move
ments w0s the reviving interest mani
tested in some Of the smaller steel COM
pany shares. While Otis. Nova SEQ
tia and few others were in wider de-
mand, some of the other independent
steel shares were irregular. The i'm
provement in the steel industry is going
to help all the steel plants through the
country. but few of the independents are
making money because of the low prices
on which deliveries arc now being made.
= 1t will be some months before a
number of the Independent companies
will be in position to resume dividends
which were cut off last year because of
the pauperizcd condition Of the steel
industry. Republic. Midvale and Lack
awanna have II long and hard road to
travel before they can begin to dis
tribute surplus earnings again. Re-
public is paying nothing on its preferred
which Is cumulative. and back dividends
will have to be made up on this issue
before anything is paid to the common.
Republic, Us well as Lackawanna are
short of cash. but Midvule. according to
the annual report, is well supplied.

Outside, Buying Growing

Outside buying orders came into the
stock market in large volume again
yesterday. and this buying power was
effective in forcing many stocks up to
new high records for the year in spite
Of realizing sales on an enormous scale.
The offerings of long stock by operators
desiring to take profits, however.
forced recessions at frequent intervals
making the market one of constant vari-
alton In price movements and tone al
though the trading was conducted at
the highest levels of the year, even after
reactions occurred.
Motor stocks and the petroleum is
sues were the strongest groups and ad-
vances in those issues We're attended
at times with good deal of excitement.
Royal Dutch was II prominent feature
moving up from 81 10 GJ on buying
coming from Amsterdam and local
bankers, and Mexican petroleum after
selling at 130la moved up to 134a,
Studebaker had wide range. frs,
yielding to 117A, and then advancing
TO 12l. but the greatest advance in
that group was in Stromberg Carbure-
tor which made a gain of 5a points to
5S&. United States Steel ranged from
99A to 9Sla. but some of the other in
dustrials swung over wide range and
several of them made new high records
for the year. Electric Storage Battery
made new high record, advancing over
3 points to 172il.

CHESTER ELECTS SAYLOR
Superintendent Of County Schools
Named in Lively Contest

The livcliest session of the School
Directors Association Of Chester
County in years took place yesterday at
West Chester. when the contest for
position of county superintendent of
public instruction was fought to u
finish between Ira ID. McCord. Of Elver-
son. and Clyde 7. Saylor. the former
incumbent, 'who was appointed two
years ago to fill the place vacated by
Thomas A. Book, promoted to the
Rural Schools Bureau.
Both sides had been preparing for the
test of strength, and there was much
electioneering work among directors,
but friends Of Saylor mustered all their
strength and he was elected by sur
prise vote of 1S9 to 81. West Chester.
Phoenlxvile and Coatesvillc took no
part. having separate districts. Thoinas
J.. PassInore, London Grove. was
elected secretary. The salary Of the
superintendent was continued at S35OO

$500

Storage Battery's Skyward Route

Electric Storage Battery at yester-
days top price showed q clean ad-
vance Of over fifty points from the
low of the year and over eighty points
from the bottom quotation registered
in last years slump. The movement
would seemingly represent something
out Of the ordinary on the speculative
line as the high price would preclude
very extensive operations on the part
of the average market trader. 1t has
become millionaires' toy.
The bulk of the dealings. however,
are now transacted on the New York
Stock Exchange and the Wall street
traders play as recklessly with the high
priced ones as they do the lower grade.
The action Of the stock. and the ac-
advance of the new stock,
which will be exchanged for the old
on the basis Of four for one. indicates
almost surely an increase in the divi-
dend rate from II to 10 per cent
basis, which, Of course. will be only
on a $4 basis for the new stock.
According to all reports the company
Is doing an overwhelming business. The
plant is working to fuller capacity.
In fact. it Is said, the larger volume
of orders will necessitate the opening
of the new plant within a short time.
The latter, 1t was reported yesterday,
was being equipped so that 1t can DC
turned over for manufacturing within
sixty days after 1t Is decided to put 1t
in operation.

GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

Because everybody is looking for one,
and the majority would like TO sec one
come is perhaps the reason the market
has had no reaction to speak Of. A mod.
crate setback in the speculative leaders
would be welcomed by the active trading
element and some Of the more conserva-
tive interests behind the constructive
movement openly advised profit taking.
The reaction which is certain to oc..
cur, sooner or later, will not be heralded
by trumpets but will be sprung without
the slightest warning. That Is the his.
tory of all major market movements and
there Is no place under the sun where
history repeats itself more frequently
than in Wall street. A reaction of one
to five points does not necessarily mean
the elimination Of the forward swing.
but simply the elimination of a weak
following which Is sure trial after any
big market swing.
