ADVERTISING.

Advertising has become such a mon
umental feature of newspapers today
that it Is somewhat refreshing to see
how unsophisticated appear the adj
vertlsing attempts of couple of cen
turtles ago. The following Is taken
from a copy of the American Weekly
Mercury, dated November 20, 1722:
Whereas. Mathew Burne of Ches-
ter county served John Camm two
years Chat is, 10 or = months), at
stocking weaving and other work, dur
ing which time John Camms stock
ings bore many reflections, and now
the said Mathew Burne goes about
selling stockings In John Camm's
name, as tho they were his make.
which is false and not true"
1t Is sincerely to be hoped that
said Mathew Burne" felt that he got
his moneys worth from the insertion
Of this notice.

PuIXerized Coal.

With the commercial advent of pull
verified coal many engineers who
made preliminary tests with the sub.
STANCE drew conclusions that 1t would
never become an important factor In
power development. At that time the
remarkable ability of the internal
combustion engine became known and
coal-power engines, as whole, were
given but short period Of life. In
yestigations have proved, however,
that coal as power factor will live
for many years to come, at least in
this country, as the United States con-
tains more than half the available
coal deposits Of the world.
Pulverized coal has one decided adj
vantage-it burns almost smokelessly
Injecting the pulverized material into
the furnace is accomplished by much
simpler means also than with lump
coal. Boiler repairs are less frequent
in factories using pulverized coal than
In those employing lump coal.

FARMS MUST EARN MORE

| There are several reasons why
farm earnings are showing decline
partially due to economic dlsconten'
and political agitation.
| Statistics show that large num-
| bers of tenant farmers nave accum-
ulated funds out of farm earnings to-
ward becoming farm owners, put the
process is slow and one OF consider
able difficulty.
Increase in valuation of farm land
has two effects; purchasers can bor-
row more money to meet payments,
but higher prices for land discour-
age tenants from buying.
Desirability of farm land is not
enhanced by TOO much academic dis
cussion about employing family la
Dor without wages or underestimate
ing the value of such labor.
Ali reports show that tenants or
farm owners having good sized fam
lies, and largely employing family
labor on the land, are more prosper
GUS and successful than farm oper-
4tors without families.
Where the tenant has no family
labor from which to increase his
margin of return over necessary ex-
he carries an additional
handicap in. this struggle to become
arm owners
The same general fact holds true
With those who own farms, but are
to employ all their labor
It present prevailing high wages.

SHOWS SUPREMACY OF MAN
Single Blast of Dynamite Has Power
to Destroy What Nature Took
Centuries to Build.

The next time you pass one of tn
excavations that are being made Ii
the solid rock here, there and every
where in New York these days foI
foundations of new buildings, stop
look and wonder, says the New York
Sun. Every foot Of rock that is de
stroyed by these workers with pick
and steam shovel, drill and dynamite,
nature spent hundred years to make.
For stratified rock forms at the
rate of about one foot In a century. So
it follows that if you see an excava-
ton through stratified rock 80 feet
deep this means that within a few
weeks time 5000 years Of natures
labor has been destroyed through the
brain and Drawn of man.
This Is one thing to wonder over
when looking at such an excavation.
But 1t is not all.
When this rock was being formed
man had not appeared on the earth.
Yet the earth In those dim ages of
the past teemed with living creatures
Creatures that, through the passing of
untold millions Of years. developed
from weak invertebrates into huge,
weird monsters unlike anything known
today. They ruled the earth, the air
and the water. And part of their do
minion was this region of New York |
where mans dominion Is now SUI
preme.
Some of these creatures, as they |
walked over this region, stepped into
shallow water and left the imprint of |
their footsteps In the mud, which, as
1t hardened into rock preserved the I'M
print, perfect outline on the sur
face of the stone. Others, sinking to
the bottom of deeper water that was
then where is now dry land, were
buried In the mud. AS this mud turned
% rock, their bones fossilized into the
"ater from the land and the streams,
settled to the bottom and, In it's turn,
vas hardened into stone. And so,
aver on layer, the rock was formed,
niles in depth. AS 1t formed 1t I'm !
r1soned and turned to fossils the
ones Of many bizarre creature that =
o man ever saw, but whose likeness :
nd history may be found In these
ecords of stone.

INJURIES Is destroyed? Soon this
eat hole will be the basement of

Birthplace Of Copernlcus.

There Is some dispute about the
birthplace Of Copernicus, and the
merits of the dispute are being inves-
tigated by commission appointed by
the contending parties. While this in
vestigation is being pursued, the Poles
are going ahead and, assuming that
the great astronomer was Pole. They
are arranging for great memorial in
the City Of Thorn, which is to take
the form OF a library to be dedicated
on February 10. the four hundred and
nftieth anniversary of the birth of
Copernicus. The new library will be
one Of the most important institutions
OF the kind In the world.

Plantiorade.

Interesting is the origin of the word
"plantigrade," frequently used in the
science Of zoology. Its classic origin
is the Latin "planta," the sole Of the
foot and "gradus," meaning a step.
The species homo, with the excep.
ton OF the man with a broken instep
is not, however, properly speaking. 0
plantigrade, because he does not walk
on the entire, or nearly the entire, sole
of his foot.
The high instep saves men from be-
ing designated as plantlgrade.-Chi-

HOW ABOUT PRE-
ELECTION PROMISES

For<years the cry has been raised
Let us have business men in public
office"
One of the keenest business mer
in the world today is the present Sec
rotary of the Treasury. Mr.. Mellon
has seen excessive surtaxes drive
capital out of productive enterprise
into tax exempt bonds and instead OF
securing revenue from the rich, the
taxes which they have escaped by
the tax exempt bond route have been
made up by citizens of ordinary
means, and industry which furnishes
the employment of this nation.
In his tax-reduction program,
Sec. Mellon is accused of reducing
taxes of rich proportionately more
than he ruduces the tax on smaller
incomes. The mere fact that he
had the courage to make the great
est reduction where it was needed
in order TO bring capital out of hid
ing in tax exempt securities and
thereby secure new sources of wealth
the income from which would help
bear the cost of government, shows
that he is no politician.
That the Mellon plan starts with
a reduction of 25 per cent on $4,000
incomes, climbs to a reduction of
1874 per cent on $4,000 incomes
and ends with reduction of 45.72i
per cent on million-dollar incomes. I
is seized upon by opponents of the
Ireasurer's plan as conclusive proof
that II is merely in the interest OF |
-hg business" They fail to see the
clear reasoning that lies behind this
Well worked out plan, the ultimate
aim of which is to make taxable the
greatest aggregate amount of wealth
thereby dividing the tax bill among
the greatest number of people.
Why reduce an excessive surtax
At all %nless the reduction is suffi-
.ient to cause capital to enter pro-
luctive business.
MT. Mellon has figured with math-
certainty that in order to
get large incomes into productive
Enterprise rather than into tax ex-
'mpt bonds, reduction of at least ..
10 to 45 per cent is necessary and
nat in order to secure sufficient
eYenue greater reduction than rs
er cent is not possible on smaller b
1comes a

HAD ROYAL TARGET
American Consul Overlooked
Some Possibilities.
Suffered, and Major Riley Came
Back to America.

Nice little nations Of the western
world are being feted and petted and
cuddled nightly by Uncle Sam these
days. Hardly a month passes that the
urbane and diplomatic secretary of
state, Mr.. Hughes, doesn't hold love
feast with a group Of them, writes
William Pickett Helm In the Wash
ington Star.
Central America is having her turn
now. A while ago it was that Tacna-
AFRICA business. Next month, likely as
not, a new batch of wrinkles will be
ironed off the map of the two Amer
| ica's.
We treat these proud and spunky
little fellows with all the courtesy and
decorum accorded the ambassadors of
our mightiest nelghbors We make
them feel at home. We say mister"
and please" But 1t was not always
thus. Oh, mol
We used to use cuss words and |
shotguns and shirt sleeves. Take the |
case Of Major Riley and the queen of |
Zanzibar.
Major Riley, years ago, was the
American consul at Zanzibar. He
lived in house that overlooked a
lake and to the lake there came daily
male and female Inhabitants of Fan
zibar to disport themselves In the
placid and cooling waters
The frank, untutored natives of the
domain Of Zanzibar had never heard
1t seems, the ways of the white man
on the bathing beach. Not knowing,
they had to shift for themselves In
natures garb.
So, by long established custom, 1t
became a common sight for the consul ,
md his staff to behold the beach well
illed with bathers unadorned For
many years they came thus and bathed :
nd went
Riley protested. There was no q
batement of the practice. He pro- r.
ested again and again, but still nude
athlng beauties cluttered up the view =,
'om his front porch. :,
One day, however Major Riley had h,
sitors from afar-white men and -
al
lys at the consulate. And, of course, ce
g visitors were shocked and horri- orr
d. They hurried to their host.
There are a thousand naked dark do
In your front yard" they told him. ON

I am not" said Riley. "T've m,

IN twice; yes, three times. Here's

so he took down a rusty old shot

CHRISTMAS FOR MICE

Mr.. Maurice Mouse was as excited
as he could be. He wiggled his whis-
kers and he squealed and he said:
Come, Mrs. Mouse and all the little
Mice, for we're to have a Christmas
party"
"a Christmas party" repeated Mrs.
Mouse. Dear Mr.. Mouse, how sweet
and ~extravagant of YOU"
Dear, generous Daddy" said the
little Mice.
Come, come, make not too much
noise," said Mr.. Mouse, and he led the
way.
They went through the different
rooms of the building where there was
a great deal of machinery and the
little Mice said:
Daddy, what is here besides ma
chinery? They don't keep food in
their machines, do they?"
Hush, Daddy will show you in just
a moment" he said.
SO they all kept very quiet and on
they hurried after him.
Hopc we VIII get lDtlt oOOut
said Mrs. Mouse. II am quite ont of
breath hurrying. l am not as young
as | used to be-"
Nonsense, nonsense" said MIR.
Mouse. you're still the sweet, charm
ing young mouse with whom fell In
love-it seems but a few hours agol"
Mrs. Mouse grinned a beautiful grin
and said:
'Ah, I'm a lucKy mouse to be so
loved by my mate. And his love is
a love worth having. It's an In
selfish love and not as the love of a
cat would be. A cat would love me
cruelty"
One of the children started to cry
al the word "cat," but soon quieted
and after that short stop they went
on again.
At last they reached a room where
were desks and tables and many pa
pers.
This doesn't look like a banquet
room, Daddy" said little Maurice
Jr, but maybe 1T is, maybe it
is"
'Of course it Is" said Mrs. Mouse
to her child. "Of course 1t
