An age Of conquest having ended,
and its great actors having left the
world stage, young nations are coming
to the front. The world Is resuming
the aspect II had before the era began.
Not the identical aspect, Of course; ;
for the expansion Of races especially
the white and the black--and the ex-
termination Of certain peoples In the
new world make II impossible to re-
store In Its entirety the fresco COW
cred By the whitewash OF centuries.
None the less. the political and terri
torial map Of the world today resem-
bles much more that Of the Fifteenth
century Than that Of the Eighteenth or
Nineteenth century.
An accident7 Not at all. What has
Europe achieved In the last hundred
years. a. she has slowly pushed the
Turk out Of the continent7 She has
brought to light submerged nations
the Greeks, Serbs, Wallachians, Molda-

has labored and suffered to restore the

Il was In the Middle Ages.
What have we tried to do In Bo-
hemiaf To revive a government and
nation erased from political history
since 1920. What did we seek In Po-
land and In Lithuania? To rescue na-
tions submerged since 1772 and 1795.
Everywhere the people have de-
manded that the verdlcts Of centuries
be reversed. and they have done this
so successfully that we have world

BLIND" CHEESE is
JUST AS GOOD

The next time you eat cheese
sandwich notice the size of the holes
in the cheese. If they are numerous
and large, the cheese is apt to be
more expensive than "blind" cheese
minus the dents. As in the case of
the doughnut, you are paying for the
hole.
This sounds queer but it's fact
and is due to the mistaken notion of
people that cheese with holes in is
better grade than the other, accord
ing to Prof. j. L. Samsnis, dairy de-
partment, University of Wisconsin,
secretary Of the Wisconsi, Cheese
Makers.
"Holes in cheese are caused by
faulty compression which allows air
to get in while it is being made. 1t
has nothing to do with the quality
and there is no particular reason why
it should cost more. But it does"
said Prof. Sammis.

PAPYRUs GROWS IN ITALY

Syracuse, In Sicily, is the one place

Six stock Statesmen to Avoid.

The Northwestern Banker (Des
Moines) puts deal of good advice
into small compass when it tells its
readers that the six stock statesmen
for the investor to avoid are:
The man who tells you how stock
holders in similar concerns became
rich over night.
The man who wants to help you in
keeping the contract away from Wall
Street"
The man who talks about the trans
ferability" of stock.
The man who says that the stock
will later be '.listed on the exchange"
The man who wants you to buy be-
cause "the price is surely going up"
The man whose chief selling points
are letters of recommendation from
Heading citizens"

BAKE AND CHILL WATCHES
Tests for Timepieces Made in Ovens
and aefrIserators by the Mann-
facturers.

After the many small paris OF
watch have been assembled and fitted
into the case, number Of tests have
to be made before the watch is ready
to pass into the possession of new
owner.
One of the most necessary things
TO look out for Is the action which
changes Of temperature have upon the
works. Extremes of heat and cold
affect the running of a watch consider
ably. You may, erhaps, have noticed
with your own watch that 1t cannot be
relied upon TO keep accurate time Ii
the weather makes sudden jump
from heat 10 cold, or vice versa.
II will either gain or lose. and YOU
will wonder what Is happening to II.
When the weather becomes normal
again, the watch will behave properly.
Expensive watches are adjusted for
temperatures varying between 80 de-
grees and 80 degrees.
Each watch Is put in tightly-f1t-
ting case, and placed in a chamber
the temperature of which is slightly
above freezing point. Its movement is
observed very carefully, and adjusted
from time to time, until the watch is
going correctly
The timekeeper is then moved from
the cold chamber, and gradually heat
ed in a specially constructed oven,
the temperature of which is between
90 and 100 degrees Here its internal
arrangements are still carefully
watched and adjusted from time to
time. When the watch is going cor
rectly in this temperature, 1t is re-
turned to the cold chamber for further
adjustment, If necessary. 1t spends
about a week In each chamber.
BY the time a watch has passed the
temperature tests. 1t will go correctly
in any climate. ,Chronometers ordered
specially by explorers and travellers
who are going to places where great
extremes of temperature are encount-
cred undergo very searching tests to
make them thoroughly reiiable.-Lon-
don Tit-Bits.

Everyone has heard the telephone

There's a reason. Poor pronunci-

misunderstanding due to the SINH

The Great Morgan County Fair

Every stall and pen in the horse,
cattle and sheep departments was
filled and crowded. The shelves
and tables in the art hall groaned
under the crowded displays of hor-
ticultural products, farm products,
club work products, and household
products. The oranges made some
of the highest qualified and most
attractive displays to be seen any
where. Well stocked refreshment
stands managed by skillful, good
natured, and hurried proprietors
kept the multitudes fed during the
entire week.
The visitors found some new ad-
ditions to the fair ground layout.
The old poultry house up on the
hill side was ConSpicuously absent.
The timbers and roof of the struc-
ture can be found in the new edi-
flee back of the cattle barn, erst-
