gentlemenI ask you to consider this /
measure. This is as Mr.. Capls stat
ed, a measure that will test the
House as to whether it really wants
to do something for the people at
home.
Now, in conclusion, I shall give you
ladies and gentlemen a few figures
regarding what interest will do. If
Methusaleh at 81 years of age had
loaned $1.OO at six per cent interest,
compounded yearly, at the time of his
death, 948 years later, that single dol
lar would have grown to more than
the huge sum, of s977, ZOO, 100000, OOO,-
OOO,OO0,OOO (977 Textrillion dollars)
These are figures by Mccoy, govern
ment actuary.
The debt of the government Of all
our states, cities, counties, school dis
tricts, transportation corporations,
all indutrial corporations, private
mortgages and bank loans amount to
more than s15O,OOO, 1000, 100000 or ap-
proximately $1,000 for every man
woman and child in the United States
Practically all this debt has accumu-
lated in the last so years. zach in
dividual is paying interest on this sun
to the extent of his consumption o.
wealth.
The entire wealth of the United
States is approximately 400 billion
dollars. A farm mortgage for NOR
than it is worth is of no value to tn
: farmer.
A nation hopelessly insolvent is o
no value to its citizens. All those VIII
so snugly and complacently drit

No one can deny the astounding il
creasing power of money via the il

co. ATTORNEY BROWN
VICTIM OF PLEURISY

Poplar Standard: Suffering from an
aggravated attack of pleurisy, COun-
ty Attorney L. A. Brown went to the
Deaconess hospital at Glasgow last
Saturday night and the forepart of
this week underwent an operation to
relieve the congested condition. The
operation, performed by Drs. Hoyt
and Smith, was highly successful and
with further treatment and care it is
expected that the popular county Off
cial will be restored to health.
Mr.. Browns wife is also patient
at the Glasgow hospital, having gone
there last week to submit to a minor
operation. Mrs. Browns condition
was not serious and she is now con.
valescent.

"Old Man of the Sea-" long famed,
or something extremely like him, has
been discovered. A hileous marine
monster fish, but with almost a human
head, has been captured by the crew
of the barque Duque d'Aosta Off the
Brazilian coast. The creatures head
has well-defned nose, ears and gap
ing mouth, Its general appearance be-
ing that of an old man. One spike
projects from the monsters forehead.
1t Is probable that early mariners, who
told wild tales of having seen mer-
maids. mernen and demons when In
tropic seas. had in reality seen some

Loud Speaker May
Be Cheaply Made
Thin Pieces of Cigar Box
or Cardboard Suitable
for Construction.

That wireless sets are something
more than a pleasure is demonstrated
by the fact that the majority Of ''fans"
refrain from purchasing parts that
they might make themselves, in this
way saving an attractive sum. A
radio set, whether 1t be for receiving
or transmitting, is an expense, for
each month ''B" bats, bulbs or other
necessities must be purchased and
the young fellow, as well as his older
brothers, often finds that his weekly
allowance is quickly eaten up by the
purchase Of such necessities. For this
reason, hints on how to make useful
parts for our outfits, at a hardly no.
ticeable expense. are bound to be ap
preciated.
A loud speaker Is cherished by all
interested in this fascinating science,
but since the majority of them are
rather costly. many individuals either
have homemade ones or none at all.
Here is a loud speaker that can be
made by any size boy and one that
will give very excellent results. About
20 cents is the total cost

how the horn is constructed. All
sides are made Of either cardboard
or very thin wood. Cigar boxes will

tacle. Before cutting, 1t will be well
to notice the dimensions at various
points. If such are followed, neat

actually cut from the pattern obtained.

food, be given as a drink.
There is nothing that so Quenches
thirst on a hot day as does good, cold
water; combined with lemon juice and
sugar or other fruit juice, and ice, we
have punch. If bottle Of charged
water is added to give it snap it is
more appealing to the taste.
A drink which is enjoyed by many Is
iced grape juice, with few spoonfuls
Of ginger ale added just as it Is
served.
Lime juice, pineapple Juice, raspber-
ny shrub or jelly dissolved and added
to pitcher Of lemonade will make a
drink which is different.
Be sure to insure the family for the
hot weather Of another summer by put

all of the aroma and flavor of the
grape which is often lacking In the
cooked product; that is. in the cooked
and strained juice. When to be used,
drain from the, fruit and use without
diluting with water.
Iced tea is much better in flavor If
prepared fresh and poured over enough
ice to cool 1t. Serve with lemon,
chopped pineapple, ginger or as ones
taste dictates.

strips used. They should be of white
pine and soaked in hot water so as
to allow easy bending. While still
warm, they should be securely fastened
to all sides, by means of carpet tacks,
which will be found strong enough for
the purpose intended. The phone re-
ceptacle can be made of the same
material and care should be exercised
to see that the horn is securely
fastened in some way to the receiver
holder. The "box'' should be just
large enough to hold the phone.
After being assembled, the builder
may, If an exceptionally pleasing APP
pearance is desired, fret-saw thin
boards and arrange them so as to
function as a grille over the front
opening. Thin silk gauze or muslin
must be placed over the inner side.
If this is done, the exterior appear
ance of the horn is greatly improved.
It Is novel scheme to try, inter
feres in no way with the efficiency
Of the horn and will be noticed by
everyone who sees your set A grille
will also conceal the interior con-
struction details of the affair.
When the horn is completed, the
sides, top and bottom, as well as the
phone receptacle, can be covered
with an imitation leatherette or may
be stained or vanished, as the build
er desires. The horn can easily be
built by anyone and will certainly
prove valuable adjunct to any re-
ceiving outfit. 1t is the first loud
speaker to incorporate a grille-that
is. loud speaker of this type.

why should the wild flowers be
picked? The real naturalist loves
them none the less because he Cor she)
leaves them to deck the rocky glen or

mountain stream and quiet pool. This
is where they belong, that all who pass
that way may see and enjoy. LIZ the

flowers from dollhouse and garden.
They are the suitable and appropriate
ones for such use. The others are not.

crisp salads and icy desserts are the
appropriate foods for the hot weather.
Nothing so appeals to the appetite
on a sultry morning like dish of
luscious berries or a chilled and flavor
some muskmelon. Pineapple, too, is
always a favored fruit, is good for
digestion and makes delicious com
bination with other fruits which lack
its zest.
The householder must consider her
self, too, in the planning Of hot
weather food for the work should be
made as simple as possible, having
the cooking done early, or the day
before.
The trouble with most hostesses
who have no maids is that they try
to prepare too elaborate meals. The
average guest will enjoy simple
meal much better than one which has
cost his hostess hours In the hot
kitchen. A hot, tired hostess will
take the edge off enjoyment from the
whole family.
For the already overburdened house
wife who has watched the approach
of a flock of unexpected company, a
few easy-to-prepare dishes will be
boon.
A thrifty woman who is subject to
weekend avalanches of company
