BOWERS BEACH

The last weekend was a record
breaker so far as visitors are con
cerned. Most of them came from The
cities for the purpose of hook anC
line fishing. This sport is the draw
ing card now and will be for several
months to come and those that tried
their hands at the sport the last week
end were so well rewarded in their
catches that it set the pace for the
balance of the season.
One party of five Philadelphians in
less than five hours captured over
two hundred fine beauties. The great
er part were weak fish and a num-
ber of lare size blue fish.
The seine haulers are catching more
fish this season thus far than has
been caught along this shore for a
number of fishing seasons. The sup
ply for several days past has been
equal to the demand at price that
justifies all that want to salt fish for
fall and winter use, and the farmers
and consumers in general are taking
advantage of it.
The fish packing house has been
operating and have put up a goodly
number of packages to accommodate
those who prefer buying them, all
ready for immediate use.
Quite a number of visitors among
private families were here this week
end as well as hundreds of joy riders.
Miss Rena Morris, Mr.. and Mrs.
Franklin Middleton and son, Stanley,
Mr. and Mrs. James and son, Hooper,

Approximately 10000 are now in
hospitals.
The total number wounded is 2O8,-
526.
The total number discharged for
disability is 251,916.
The government is paying COM
pensation on 50,420 death claims and
156,539 disability cases.
The amount paid last month for this
compensation was $10,34O,000.
The government is paying insur-

If there is any duty which lies upon
the heart of President Harding more
constantly than all others, it is that Oh
providing for the disabled men who
fought for the United States during
the late war He has emphasized his
sense of responsibility many times,
and has more than performed all that
duty required in impressing upon Con-
gress the need of forethOught and lib
erality in providing for these men. AS
for Congress, it is sufficient to say
that every dollar estimated for by the
executive departments has been ap-
propriated. In no other branch of gov
ernmental activity is this the case. 1t
is only in dealing with former service
men that Congress has met the esti-
mates without cutting off a single
dollar
Soon the country will have before |
it the proposal for a bonus as worked |
out by the Senate committee. Whether |
this plan will be approved = by the
President remains to be developed af-
ter conferences. Alternative plans are
and perhaps there will be
resulting in a satisfac-
tory compromise. President Harding
has frequently said that he would not
approve Of bonus legislation which
did not provide means Of raising the
required revenue.
The appropriations in behalf of for
ner service men have been made by
Congress without thought of partisan
ship. Just as all partisans fought in
he war without drawing political

when providing for the nations de-
lenders. 1t would be pity to see bon

CONGRESS AND THE
SOLDIERS

Pending the decision of Congress
and the President on the bonus ques-
tiOn, it is well to glance at the record
of the government in it's treatment of
soldiers and sailors of the late war.
If it appears that the government has
been liberal and Thoughtful in it's care
of these men, there will be less dis
position on the part of any one to
suggest that the delay in bonus legis-
lation is due to disregard of right or
justice in dealing with former service
men,
A statement compiled by the gov
ernment authorities, made public re-
Gently, throws much light upon the
governments attitude toward it's de-
tenders. The figures are brought up to
April 1, and show that total of ST.
996,26O,694 has been appropriated for
the welfare of soldiers and sailors of
the late war, in such items as family
allowances, insurance, hospitals, voca-
tiOnal training, &c. The appropria-
tions for the fiscal year 1928 are $4O6,-
O38,842 for these purposes. Thus the
United States is expending more than
$1,000,000 a day for the welfare of
'the boys" The expenditures to April

Ripping Rhymes

ONE VIRTUE

One little virtue 1 possess-I'm
prompt in all my dealing; and oh, it
fills me with distress and makes me
kick the ceiling when some one who
has made a date forgets or fails to
meet it; and then l sing my hymn Of
hate; if I've a hat l eat it. This fell
low doesn't come on time a measly
trick of his'n" l cry hes guilty of a
crime and should be held in prison.
I'll tell him what think, gee whiz, as
sure as I'm a Yankee" the worst of
any virtue is it makes its owner
cranky | have no patience with the
men who turn their eyes to heaven and
swear they'll come at half past ten,
and don't show up till 'leven. From
virtues they are not exempt; each has
mis- shining merit, and looks upon me
with contempt because l do not share
it. Though Johnson seldom keeps a
date, he's famous as a giver, and to
the poor he, sends freight of spuds
and beans and liver. Though Perkins
leaves me in the lurch, nor heeds the
words I'm breathing, he does a lot to
help the church, and coughs up for the
heather. They doubtless think that
I'm fraud, my virtue Notwithstanding,
for I'm cemented to my wad, no helpful
coins outhanding.

The Chautauqua

The chautauqua program this year promises
as much entertainment and instruction as any
OF Its predecessors. Popular as form of sum-
mer entertainment the Richmond chautauqua
annually provides instruction and amusement to
thousands who attend its sessions.
The chautauqua movement is one of the
democratic features of the United States. 1t has
spread to the most remote hamlet. Few commu-
mites can look back over summer without
having had an opportunity to attend one. This
holds true not only in our immediate vicinity
but all over the United States.
Programs are arranged that they will sup
ply the financial requirements of almost any
community. Small towns are able to obtain good
entertainers musicians and lecturers who pro-
vide wholesome and clean entertainment.
The astounding success of the chautauqua
movement can be traced directly to the fact that
the entertainment is morally good and will not
give offense to any one 1t is the best proof that
the American people as whole do not care for
unclean and suggestive entertainment, but pre-
fer productions which the whole family can
attend without fear of offending the taste of its
members.
The Richmond chautauqua has attained a

The WAYNE County Fair

The determination of the farmers and citi-

success is bearing fruit in the speed with which
various committees are attaining results.
project of the magnitude of the proposed
exhibition requires quick action, in which every
man believes 1t is his duty to perform the work
that has been assigned to him. The zeal of the
committees is matched by the general enthusi-
asm of the public, which is eager to see the
agricultural products of the county in general
exhibition.
With the preliminary work well in hand, the
other details of the undertaking will be worked
out in rapid succession so that everything will
be in order for the opening of the show.
City dwellers are learning every day how
dependent they are on the products of the farm
and the work of the farmers They realize that
if the farmer went on strike, refusing to plant
wheat corn, and vegetables, the city dweler
would starve or be forced to pay high prices for
foodstuffs imported from other countries.
The county fair will bring together the city
man and the farmer on friendly basis upon
which they can discuss their mutual needs and
interests The good that will accrue to both is
inestimable

Then he would arrange it that the
eggs of the murderous organism
should leave the dog and take up res

The snail would then be eaten by
fish; and not by any fish but by
certain kind of trout. The trout must
then be caught and eaten by the vic

Q, What is the record of consecu-
tive wins in the American and National
leagues ?-J. w n -.
A. Twenty-six is the greatest num-
Der Of consecutive games won by a
major league baseball team. This rec
ord was made by the New York Ma
tidnal league team in 1916. The great
est number of consecutive games won
in the American league was 10. This
record was made by the Chicago team
in 1906.
O. Did Bell patent the telephone as
a process or device?-J. F.
A. When Alexander Graham Bell
was granted letters patent on this in
vention it was described in the appli-
cation and specifications as an instru-
ment for the transmission of articu-
lated speech by electric current. This
fortunate wording covered the process
as we'll as the device and made possible
a complete monopoly of the telephone
business until the expiration of his
patent rights.
Q. What are the minarets on Mo
hammedan mosques for?-H. r. F.
A. The minarets of Mohammedan
mosques are the towers from which the
officer whose bushes it is, issues the
Muezzin or call to prayer, at which
signal all true MohammedapS face to-
wards the east and engage wdevotion.
@. Are spores classed as seeds p
X F. A.
A. Spores are not true seeds, but
are the means of reproduction of a
great number of plants, such as ferns
and the various fungi. Mushrooms are
the most important cultivated plants
which depend on spores for reproduc-
ton.
Q. Give a list of conductors and in
sulators.-I. r.
A. Among the good conductors are
silver. copper, aluminium, zinc, brass,
platinum, iron, nickel, tin lead anti
inony mercury and busmuth. Slate, oils,

A France, England and Germany
spent much time and energy on the
elimination of lice, since they were
found to be carriers of typhus and
trench fever. Delousing stations had
been established and conditions great

Two Rare Diseases in America
San Joaquin valley disease BATTLES scientists conarchass
declared to be ncurable.

in the scale of life than bacteria and
being close to yeast spores in charac-
teristics. These organisms are known
as blastomyces. Sunlight, fresh air,
and invigorating food, to which the
tuberculosis germ will often yield, do
not seem to have much effect upon
the blastomyces. Whence these or
ganisms come to afflict man nobody
knows, but, because the disease they
cause is so sharply localized, the pub
lie health surgeons suspect that some
species of animal living in the San
Joaquin Valley is serving as a reser-
voir of the contagion.
The public health service has so
many more formidable enemies to
human life to fight that it is devoting
no undue amount of attention to San
Joaquin Valley disease. In the twenty
years since the disease has been rec
ognized fewer than fifty cases have
occurred in California. Consequently
the people of the San Joaquin Valley,
despite the malady, continue to be
good life insurance risks and can go
to bed of nights without worrying lest
they be invaded by the infection which
some branch of the native fauna is
evidently carrying around.
Another Queer Disease
Imported by OrientaIs.
OF much more concern to the public
health service lately is another dis
ease now prevalent in the United
States but little known to the public.
This ailment is known as clonorchia-
sis, or liver fluke disease Although
there are hundreds and even thous-
ands of cases of it now existing in this
country, and the stage is apparently
all set for it, not single case OF
clonorchiasis has ever been known to
develop in the, United States.
