TRULY WERE GOLDEN CHIMES
Bells Cast in Ancient Mexican Village
Composed in Large Part Of
Precious Metals

In the Mexican state OF sonora. AT
the headwaters OF the Rio Mayo, is the
ancient mining village OF l'yopa. which
in early days was famous for the
swPet-toned bells cast there FROM cop
per procured in the neig!5orhOod.
Ii was from I'yops that chimes Of
bells were obtained for many missions
on the Pacific coast. and froiu the same
source came bells that were hauled by
OK teams across the desert to mission
settlements in Arizona and New Mex
leo. There WAS one such settlement
at Siika. Alaska. established by Fran
ciscan monks. whicis got it's chime Of
bells from 1'ynpa.
Some OF tt,esa bells are still in ex-
iStence. their tones as sweet as ever.
Many OF the,u have been melted in lat

music in fact. was due to the circuln-

sometime in the forties, was invited TO

erected. and the rough boards had not

A lady who WAS known As an accom-

What the Party
Has Done

A few of the major, constructive
things to the credit of the party in
power as adduced by Mr.. Hughes are ::
The success of the budget plan; the
reduction of the public debt and the
making it possible to reduce taxation
(if Congress, we may add, can re-
strain itself from waste and extra
vagance); the effort at cooperation
with other American republics; the
results of the Washington Conference
and it's leadership toward peace in
the world {for which we all know our
Secretary of State is entitled to high
praise); the establishing by treaties
of the American Open Door policy;
and the bringing about of American
help and influence in foreign problems
(of which the work of the Dawes
Commission is the most notable ex-
ample) without relinquishing Ameri-
can right of independent action and
of non-commitment to others of the
decision as to American policy. AS
to this last Mr.. Hughes says:
The American people cherish
their independence. They were
unwilling to enter into ambiguous
commitments which in one breath
We're sought to be explained away
as having little significance and
j in another were strenuously de-
manded as being of vital impor-
lance. They refused to assume
by any form of words an obliga-
ton to take part in the reverend
ing conflicts of rival ambitions in
Europe, but none the less they
earnestly desire peace and seek
in every way consistent with their
traditions to promote it.
1t remains for some Democratic
"key-noter" to put beside Mr.. Hughes
dignified statement an affirmative, no
merely abusive, declaration of pur
pose. policy, and programme

Finally he started Success Maya
zine which, after failures, proved a
real success. %
He wrote books on optimism and
success.
He was often called the "elder
brother Of the discouraged.
And he, himself, had many reasons
for encouragement.
The remarkable things about Mar
den is that he never faltered. He
never lost his nerve. He never lost
his courage and he never lost MS faith
His books have been translated into
twenty-seven languages and they have

new determination to multitudes.

Perhaps this man who had thought
and hoped success SO many years, who
had lived on faith and, by his efforts
against great odds, had made success
come true-perhaps he imagined all
this.
Perhaps he saw city built of the

tPay-As-You-Use' and
'Pay-As-You-GO' Ways
= Held Very Different

"Most any one wants taxes reduc
ed and, too, he wants good roads ant
other public improvements; try ant
reconcile these two points" chalieng
ed the Mankato. News recently.
Toward partial reconciliation, th'
highway bulletin this week submits
recent correspondence between the de
partment and Minnesota farmer who
inquired:
81 read and hear good. deal
about the 'pay-as-yougo' and the
'pay-as-you-use' plans in pubic
affairs, but am not sure that l
understand the difference between
them. l an, writing the highway
department for an explanation be-
cause our local newspaper print
ed an article stating that the de-
partment favored the 'pay-as-yOu-
use plan"
Commissioners Charles M. Babcocl
answered as follows:
"Perhaps the difference can be
most clearly shown by i!iustrat-
ing with typical mile OF new
highway improvement. At gen
eral averages, the land on right
lof-way will cost $500, the grading
$4,000 and the gravel surfacing
$4,000, making the whole mile
cost S7,4OO. The right-of-way
and maintained grade will serve
as long as the road is USED and
the life of the crawling may be
placed at 7 years.
"Under he 'pay-as-you-go'
plan, the entire cost would be
paid from current tax funds the
year the improvement is made.
Under the pay-as-you-use'
policy, the cost of the right-of-
way and grade would be. spread
over 20 years and the surfacing
over years, that each year might
be charged according to it's share
in the use of the Improvement.
"When made hard and fast
policy on needed highway better
ments, the 'pay-as-you-go' plan
is faulty because it draws no line
between current expenses and
permanent investments. Applied
