From IL Cities.
Times WGshin1toM bureau.
1905 Mem York ADentl


WASHINGTON, Aug. a.
seventy-two cities are asking the
Navy Department to have six new
cruisers named after them.
The six new cruisers are now
under construction and will be COM
pleted in 100 and 1891.
The cruisers are now identified
by numbers ranging from Gil rs TO
Gil 81.
Heading the seventy-two cities is
Houston, Tex. which has carried on
the most vigorous campaign ever
seen by Navy officials.
Not only has every official and
business house of any standing in
the community written in to urge
that city's cause, but civic societies,
clubs, churches and nearly every
conceivable organization.
Practically every Senator and
Congressman has been called upon
to endorse the cause of some city
and letters from these representa-
tives of the people occupy several
files in the Navy Building.
Names are to be selected by Sec
rotary of Navy Wilbur.

| Have Said in Ny Heart
BY IDAH MceLoNE GIBSON

Just how far do you go in max
ing complaints against an employee
to his employer? Every day some
one is found who is quite indignant
at the way he has been treated by
a person who is not only paid for
doing a service to his employers
customers, but for being polite
while doing it.
Everyone has a feeling more or
less that they do not want to have
an employee discharged for any
slight deviation from duty, but SO
many men and women have decided
that they will do as little as they
can and do it with i'll grace and I
think it is the duty of everyone to
insist that a person shall be made
to do the thing he contracts to do
The other day friend OF mine
who lives upon a hilltop heard the
milkman swearing at her maid. She
went out to find that because the
maid, who is particularly kindly
and careful of the feelings of
lothers had told this man that she
did not want any milk that day, he
had asked, why in the blankety
blank blank didn't you tell me SO
yesterday? I am not going to CLIMB
this hill for nothing"
At this moment the mistress OF
the house took a hand and tried TO
explain that she had been out to
dinner the night before, and there
was a surplus of milk in the ice
box. That had no effect upon the
irate young rowdy.
81 don't have to climb the hill"
he said unless you take milk"
But this is the first time thai
you have ever been told we did
not want milk"
"That makes no difference.
When climb the hill you must
take your usual amount of milk"
After he had left my friend called
up the manager and told him the
circumstances. She was informed
that not only she need not take
milk, if for some reason she hac
more than she could use still in
her ice box, but she could return
the milk that she had ordered +
she found she did not need all of
it..
Said the manager: II will see
this young man and explain to hinl
just exactly where he gets off,
Evidently something happened,
for my friend has a new milkman,
and she cited the incident to me,
wondering if she did right.
I'D hate to have the man dis
charged" she said.
"Of course, one has more or less
sentiment in the matter, but why
should not a man politely do HIS
duty? Why should not every work
man do the thing that he contracts
to do?"
If really looks as though we
might have better world if each
person should insist that the other
fellow must do the thing he prom
ises, all the while remembering to
keep our own promises ane
covenants.

WORTH LISTENING TIC,
BY GROVE PATTERSON

A former U. S. Senator, A. ..
Stanley, speaking at the national
Moose Convention, tells us some
straight facts. He says:
There is a lack of human char
ity in the world today, a tendency
toward acrimonious discussion and
disposition to evoke pain and ter
ror and induce men to agree in po-
litical theory and religious dogma.
This tendency is not progress but
merely an innovation. 1t is ten
dency toward darkness and not to-
ward the light of new dawn
There is still much of that spirit
in the world. There is even much
of it in America. The senator, per-
haps, is a bit pessimistic. Observ-
ers, despite much loose talk, must
see that there is growing spirit oil
tolerance in the world. 1t comes
slowiy-bu it comes.

INFoRM NATION

In an advertisements one reads
these words: IF you ever hang up
an information sign, be prepared to
inform"
Few people have much accurate
information. We all hate to admit
we don't know. Ask the average
man a question and he will pretend
he knows the answer. Pride and
vanity keep US from admitting ig-
norance. And. yet, to admit ignor-
ance makes a better impression
than to stall at giving information
which we do not have.
The world is in tremendous need
of informatioB but be sure you
have some to give before you hang
up your sign.

This Workable Plan.

Discovery that methods employ
led by the Jersey mosquito exter-
mination commission for draining
duck feeding grounds and driving
the game fowl away from sections
where the commission has been
at work, has resulted in the adop-
ton of plan calculated to help
produce more and stronger ducks
as well as few and weaker
mosquitoes.
The plan was adopted by the
commission at the suggestion of the
Bureau of Biological Survey,

culture.
