SLY OLD AUTUMN

Autumn is peeping slyly around the
corner. She has already sent signals
of her coming The all-conquering
goldenrod beckons the way of sum
mers departure. AcOrns drop upon
the roof and the dreamy drone OF lazy
locust gives place to the chatter Of the
nut-gath ering squirrel. In the air is
a reluctant pause. There is a rustic
among the leaves that were so still in
the sultry summer heat. The days
crown themselves with the added cool
ness of the heightened evening Sha-
dOWs.
Autumn is no vandal, but careful
conservatiOnist who strips summer OF
her finery slowly and patiently Each
falling leaf is made to yield it's tribute
of fertility to Mother Earth. The fruit
is safe and sound, and every harvest
provides for another. If the gardens
are losing their summer freshness,
they are taking on such pungency
and aroma as only autumn yields
Pennyroyal and mint are scarcely be-
trayed And the little wild plum, not
vet fully ripe, must hurry in maturing
if it is not to meet untimely seizure by
the south-bound birds. Every breath
from the country roads tells of mel
lowed fruits, dried herbs and late
flowers.
Autumn presents a pageant as fine
as any scene in Nature. The first
splendors are on the sumac, and mari
colds lift their heads high as if to defy
the approach of frost. The fringed
gentian slyly waits little before
shaking out her ruffles more broadly
that her advent may be better appre-
cited The iris by the pond has left
its sword-like leaves to say goodbv,
while the daisy and the big sunfioWer
are putting their baby seeds to bed for
the winter.
The whole autumn landscape seems
in fact to be keeping festival in the
proud effort to Guido the brilliance OF
the summers blossoms. The whole
concentrated sweetness of the year
shines from pendant grape and ruddy
apple cheek. 1t is stored in the gold
en- ears of corn and in the mellow
pumpkin globes.
Mans life responds to Natures
fruition season. The hearth fires will
soon be lighted and the home life
deepened. The step is lighter and the
pulse stronger with the tonic of the
bracing autumn air. Surely it is good
to be alive in harvest Unrestricted

A MANS JOB

It's mans job to be cheerful
In the face of grief and care,
Any weakling can be fearful
And a victim of despair,
But it takes a man to swallow
All the bitter in the cup,
And to live for what may follow,
Without ever giving up.
It's a mans job to be kindly,
It's a mans job to be true;
None can shut his eyes and blindly
Try to journey this life through
And not see the wrongs about him
Or the hazards in his way;
There are times when fate will fiout
him
And his feet will go astray.
Not in fools and craven creatures
Are the virtues found
Not in blank and lifeless features
Do the cheerful smiles abound.
He who to his best is living
And for truth and honor stands,
And is cheerful in his giving,
Has a mans job on his hands.
To be kind and thoughtful ever,
To be strong in times of need,
To put all your best endeavor
In an effort to succeed,
And to fall and keep on trying,
And not to lose your cheerful ways
Is a job, there's no denying,
For real man nowadays.

CITY OF DUST
AND OF PIOUS MASONS

Teheran (the word is accented on
the second syllable and rhymes with
john might much more fittingly have
been named Khaki, which is the Per-
sion word for dust. During the dry
season the unpaved streets are inches
deep in dust, which when stirred Up
by a passing vehicle or a vagrant
breeze, rises in yellow clouds, dense
as a London fog and almost as suffo
eating as poison gas. AS result,
everything, including the trees, is
heavily dust coated.
To protect their clothing, the people
of the upper classes wear thin, volum-
inous cIOaks called abas, also of the
prevailing dust color, so that as they
fit along between the high mud walls
with which every street is lined they
become almost invisible. The dwell
ings of the poor are of dusty, sun
dried bricks, with fiat roofs of mud,
and even the houses of the rich are
built of the same uninteresting mater
ial, usually camoufaged, however, by
a coat of white or tinted plaster.
This reminds me of one of my daily
amusements in Teheran. A we'll
known politician was erecting a some
what pretentious house in the same
street as the American mission, where
l was staying, and every morning,
when l was out for stroll, | would
pause and watch the masons at their
work
The performance never varied. The
man at the top of the ladder would
sing out, in what he fondly believed
to be a melodious tone, Brother, in
the name of Allah, toss me up
brick" whereupon the one below
would mark his compliance with the
request by chanting, I'm the name of
God. behold brick, oh my brother"
I have often heard bricklayers in
America invoke the name of the Deity,
but they used it in quite a different
sense.

see whom they were from? That is
an example of the effectiveness of one
sort of advertising But how often do
you see newspapers in the waste
basket? How many people throw
away any newspaper without looking
on every page? Not very many. That
is a good argument for the newspaper
advertisement When you put your
advertisement in the Eagle you put 1t
where it will be noticed, where it will
be saved, and read in the easy chair
at home by not only the person to
whom it is addressed but by the en-
tire family. Nor can you send out any
kind of circular through the mail for
the price of an ad in the Eagle. We
offer you service that is cheaper and
many times more effective. Think it
over-Keota Eagle.

FATTT FINDING

Do you know that the habit of fault
finding is growing? Such conduct is
generally prompted by self interest
and is INDUCED in without thought.
Some man or corporation is believed
to be making money, and at once some
small mind conceives it to be his hal
lowed duty to put stop to it. Fault
is found with ministers, teachers,
newspapers, government officials, rail
roads, with what we buy, with what
we eat, with prices and with our
neighbors. The unreasonable every
day fault finders are usually those
who amount to nothing in the commu-
nifty where they live. They do moth
ing, are responsible for nothing and
spend most of their time watching
other people and gossiping about
them.

The Value OF Knowing What
the II s Constitution Means.


Outside of the conceded high value
of the spreading of Christian evenge-
Iism there could not be greater need
of propaganda in this country than
would be systematic education OF the
people as to the sacredness of the
principles of constitutional govern
ment and the next to sacredness or
the fundamentals of the constitution
of the United States. When our fore
fathers constituted the almost entire
population of the country, and they
themselves were we'll versed IN
knowledge of this great instrument, 1t
was deemed sacred, but since an
overwhelming number OF our popula-
tion have come to us from other
countries, either grossly ignorant OF
the foundations of our government, or
sadly warped in their lily conceived
notions of what our constitution pro-
vides, there is a dangerous tendency
to drift toward an irreverence for the
great instrument of freedom OF men
In recognition OF this the KiWanls
Clubs Of America are devoting their
program of this week to education
propaganda in that regard. Ii their
effort does nothing more, it will ac-
complish the very great service OF
creating KiWanians a better educated
class Of American citizens.-Selecteo.

Government Ownership Would
Ruin the Country for Senator
Lnhn Sharn Williams. he Saws

John Sharp Williams, former United
States senator from Mississippi, in
recent speech had the following to say
about government ownership of prl-
yate business:
Il would not want to live in coun-
try where the state government under
which l lived, much less the federal
government, should be my commits
sion merchant and my warehouse and
elevator dealer. Government is one
thing; individual affairs constitute
another thing.
ITO put the government in the
pawn broking business, to put the
government in the warehousing bust
ness. to put the government out as a
competitor against every man in the
world engaged in any sort of business,
strikes me as an absolute prostitution
of the purpose of all government. AS
far as / am concerned, | would just as
soon live in Prussia as live in any
country. whether my own or any other
that undertook to say that the govern
ment had the right to carry on with
me every sort of business"

Wants Hard Road
To eounfy Seat.

~ 1UuhDy lCNthaS
The residents of southern Grant
county have always voted AYE" when
county property at the county seat
was to he improved, and largely
through the unselfish efforts OF these
people we have magnificent court
house in Lancaster, county asylum
building near Lancaster second TO
none IN the state, and a comfortable
county home near the same place.
With all these improvements at Ian.
caster it would seem only the part Oh
wisdom that a hard surface road be
built from this section to the county
seat. 1t is ridiculous that in this age
there should be nothing but a DIRT
road connecting the metropolis OF the
county with the county seat. We nope
to see an earnest effort made by the
county board to have the road be-
tween PlatteviIle and Lancaster hard
surfaced Platteville News.
The Herald endorses the view mere
presented by the News. Grant county
needs a number of good hard roads
but if most of them can wait upon
opinion, good trunk lines to the coun-
ty seat are needed so badly that they
should be provided without delay.
Some time ago the Herald spoke OF
two good hard roads across the coun-
ty One should come north from the
present hard road at Dickeyville, pass
through Lancaster and connect with
S. T. l.. 10 at Fennimore. The re-
naming piece of road between Fennl-
more and Montfort should be hard
surfaced and this would connect our
hard roads up with the big stretch on
10 between the lake and the river.
Another hard road should connect
at PlatteviIie with the east line hard
road now running north from the state
line below Cuba City to Montfort. 1t
should pass through Lancaster and
follow the Hackett route to Blooming
ton. There it would connect with the
Glen n-Bloomington hard road.
These improvements are entirely
feasible and not unduly expensive. The
Herald joins the News in asking the
county board to consider the matter
for the great good of all citizens VINO
frequently have business in the coun-
tv seat and also desire to get out OF
the county on aIl-weather roads

TFIE business of refining petroleum has
many hazards the least OF which
accrues from the necessity OF balancing
- the supply with the demand.
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana) always
has kept itself IN position to supply the
demand Of its customers for petroleum prod
ucts, no matter how great or abnormal the
demand might be-
During the winter months the Standard Oil
Company (Indiana) refined and stored large
quantities of gasoline in anticipation of the
busy summer season. Other ret1nerS IN the
Middle West pursued the same course.
In previous years the midcontinent refners
have found a ready market for their surplus
product on the Atlantic seabOard.
This year the heavy, unprecedented and I'M
looked-for California production upset cacu-
lations Enormous quantities of California
crude petroleum and California gasoline were
shipped to the Eastern Seaboaro by boat, flood
ing the market and cutting off one OF the prln-
Cipal outlets of the midContinent refners.
The result was back wash of distress gaso-
line in the Middle West which had to be sold.

of South Dakota was able to purchase at less
than the present day cost OF manufacture and
Q1SLI1DuClOL. by SCIuIlS IL WllllOuI plum, dllu
without any expense for distribution, he was
enabled to announce a drastic, temporary
reduction from the then existing selling price.
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana) while
protesting that it was below the cost of pro-
duction, refining and distribution plus a
reasonable profit met this price because it
is the established principle of the Standard
Oil Company Qndiana) that it's customers
shall be able to buy it's products as cheaply
as they can buy similar products from any
competitors.
The success achieved by the Standard Oil
Conpany Qndiana) is due in larger meas
ure to the fact that at all times it has held
paramount the welfare of it's customers
whose respect and esteem it has won and
intends to hold.

AMERICA AS BOSTON LAND"
Abenak Indians Know No Other
Name for the Whole of the
United States.

In the early days Of the Colonies the
Abenakis, or Eastern Indians" and
through them other more distant tribes,
had accepted an Indianized form of the
term "Bostonian" as the name of the
New England colonists. After the
Revolution, when the colonists called
themselves Americans, the Indians did
not change their name, but extended
the meaning so that it was the equiv
alent Of American" And by an odd
further extension of the term, AbenaH
Indians today, talking their native
tongue, would speak of the whole
United States as Boston Land" They
call 1t DISQUALIFICATION being their
rendering Of Boston, and the terminal
ki being aki or aukee, their word for
land. From the Etchemins of Quoddy
Bay to the Abenakis Of st. Francis on
the st. Lawrence an American is Pas
tonk or Pastani. The form Bostonian
they do not use.
This word belonged to their trad
ing vocabulary, and presumably the
first fur traders who went to the Co
lumbia carried It into the Chinook jar
gon, which corresponds to the Chinese
Pidgin English. Frenchmen probably
In the same manner picked 1t up from
the Indians and took 1t to Europe.
The Indians did not use the term
Pastonki from lack of another name
for the white settlers. 1t Is clear that
from the beginning they must have
called them Iglis or Igris, which was as
near as they could pronounce Eng
lish."

evaded.
THAT Is not an answer. Why we're
you later" the teacher insisted.
"well, Freddy Jones, who lives next

How did Freddy Jones make you

prising answer.
"How did the fact that Freddy Jones

Paint Made ResIstsnt to Lluht.

Painters like to use lithopone be-
cause Of Its many good qualities. This
white pigment is, however, not rec
commended for outside work, due to
the fact that It darkens when the
painted surface Is exposed to sun
light. A French Investigator has de-
termined that II is the ultraviolet
rays Of light that cause the pigment
to darker. To prevent the action Of
these rays It is only necessary to sur
round each particle Of llthopone with
a layer Of material which is insensi-
tive to light and which at the same
time does not impair the good prop
critics of the pigment. Such materials
are blanc fixe, alumina and oxide Of
zinc. A lithopone paint made in this
way gives most excellent results.
