Here's one national topic, gem

100000 of US are unanimous and
unanimously right whether we
say it with firecrackers or silent
ly to ourselves, whether we pro-
claim it in a public speech or in

Let US renew our homage to the
men who first declared our nat

resolve that we will retain that
independence, not only against
any outside aggressions but any
aggressions within. That is all We
can do.

BUT say. FISHING is FINE

TT is coming to the time of year
when all the family feels like
taking half day off to see
whether the fish are biting back
in the old creek that washes the
edge Of the pasture. Used to be
clubs, and sunfish, and channel
cat, and bull heads, Sand once in
a while perch in the old creek.
Lots of sinners, too. Pesky little
things keep fussing around with
the bait. So little they couldn't
eat it if they did get ahold of it.
After they kept the cork a-bob-
bin a while, though, they seem
to wear the old worm out and it
is time to pull up and bait the
hook again. Time Of year when
it's easy to find worms dig most
anywhere and you can turn up
half a bean can full of them. Let
the sinners have some of them
just so long as a good sunfish
takes hold once in a while and
gives us something for the frying
pan that's going to he sizzling
with good hot butter right soon.

TWO States, New Jersey and
= Pennsylvania have declared
war on so called humorous signs
that decorate some automobiles.
You have probably noticed in your
travels such signs as this; eff
you can read this you are too -
close" and kindred signs with no
meaning and which to some ap-
pear ludicrous. There is no good
reason why any sef-respecting
motorist should decorate his car
in that fashion, as it gives cheap
atmosphere to the car as well as
the owner. Other states should
follow the example set by New
Jersey and Pennsylvania in their
declaration that such signs are
Objectionable and that only offic-
ial registration plates are permit
ted on the front and rear of
automobiles.

THE court at Tampa, Florida,
= declared an old statute which
was supposed to forbid Sunday
baseball null and void because it
was imperative and had never
been enforced. The theory that a
law is dead because it had never
been enforced is certainly new
wrinkle in legal Interpretation. If
the principal could be given wide
application it would sweep away
a mountainous mass Of more or
less inert laws now on our statute
books.

Nothing can be more disheartening
This condition may be caused by the
fuel used.
Your architect may install the most
efficient heating plant on the market
one especially designed for your own
particular requirements, and its en-
tire performance can be ruined by u.s.
ing in it the wrong fuel.
With ordinary care and supervision
the heating plant may be kept in con-

AS a rule, heating plant is expect

frequent inspection by capable heat

frequent inspection by capable heat
ing men.
So much for that.
For every plant that is in working
condition there is correct fuel. This
may be anthracite, Pocahontas, soft
coal, or coke. The size of the fuel
used is very important and determines
the results of your plant.
The correct size of the right fuel
| is one of the many service given by
the more reliable fuel dealers. Let
them go into the question very care
fully, and when you follow their sug-
gestons your results may always be
| improved.
| Have you ever tried coke?
| You can keep your home more COM
Portable and use less fuel when you
use coke. Be careful to use the size
suited to your plant, and use it the
way it should be used.
u. S. government bureau of mines,
in their technical paper 242, ,-state that
tx tons of coke will deliver as much
heat as 10 tons of the best soft coal,
besides being clean.
You will not have to experiment,
call your fuel dealer, he will give
! you the benefit of his experience and
the experience of many satisfied GUS
toners, as developed by his service.
There are many advantages in
summer buying of fuel by the con-
sumer. The fuel business being sea-
sonal, there is dull season and rush
season. This is apparent all down
the line. When fuel is not being used
the yards are stocked up and the min
ers have to stop shipments. This
causes stocking up at the mines or
perhaps suspension of operation.
When winter comes, everyone wants
fuel at once. Stocks are depleted,
shipments are delayed, the consumer
is forced at times to take fuel not
suited to his plant because he needs
his fuel at once.
To encourage summer buying con-
cessions in price are made. This is
to help keep the wheels turning dur
ing the dull season.
But it is not always practical for
you to buy your fuel in the summer
time or else you procrastinate, and
winter is on you before you realize it.
To take care of this many fuel deal
ers have enlarged their plant until
their storage capacity is sufficient to
provide for any ordinary delay in
shipments.

HELPFUL HINTS ON
HOME HEAT

All of us hate to fuss around with
distasteful routine, and one of the
most engrossing duties in the winter
time is the care and operation of the
ordinary home heating plant.
Heat is as necessary to health and
physical comfort as good, nourishing
food, and properly heated home is
as satisfying as good square meal
and is as easily obtained if the proper
methods are used
All of us, at times, have gone home
after cold, hard day, hurrying to
the welcome cheer and comfort Of a
well regulated house, to find the fur
mace misbehaving, the house cold and

The defense of the public against
such prostitutions of democracy must
be furnished, if at all, by the public
itself.
When campaign funds are unduly
large and swollen the evidences of il

When that evidence shows up, the
thing for all good patriots to do is to
swat the party that is so heavily
financed. Slush funds, used to control
elections, are the sufficient proof that
dirty work has been contracted fol
after the election is over.

encountered raccoon, which Banty
shook out of tree. The coon ran and
Sounder staged royal fight with him
on the nearby railroad track. Sounder
happened to be between the rails
when the train came along. In telling
about the fight Banty stated that that

MAKE PUBLICITY
PITILESS
By FRANKLIN E. WOLFE

Facts are coming to light quite
opportunely that will make the col.
lectors and manipulators of campaign
funds act more circumspectly in the
coming campaign. They ought to act
more honestly and decently and we
hope they will.
There is available now much infor-
nation concerning the evasions of the
corrupt practices act. A bit of evi-
dence elected at Chicago during e
recent senate committee investigation
brings out point:
"The committee learned from Ken
meth Mackenzie that Ira Nelson Nor
ris, former minister to Sweden, made
contributions totaling $27, 500 to the
republican committee, $1,000 in Mac
kenzie's name and $4,000 in the name
of E. M. Rosenthal, Chicago mer-
chant.
why was that done?' Senator
Nye asked Mackenzie, who was conf
Dental secretary to Morris until two
years ago.
"'My Judgment was that it was to
avoid publicity Mackenzie replied.
THE witness explained that he gave
check for $4,000 to Rosenthal, who
cashed it and then sent his check in
like amount to Treasurer Upham."

posed to buy in the parallel Vir-
 ginian system, but met commis-
 sion refusal. The vanSweringans,
 with the chiefs of the Pennsyl-
 yania, Baltimore 6 Ohio and the
 New York Central systems, laid
 down tentatively some diverse
 programs for consolidation in
 trunk line territory. These plans
 have been discussed with the
 commission. but have in no way
 been approved.

 the Burlington, with notifications southward through control of the Colorado X Southern, have been the latest to make serious test | of the commissions adverse posi- tion.

 commission itself. Nearly all the Financial and legal advisors of the
 country's great roads are inclined l to believe that new legislations by Econgyess will be necessary before mergers, if desirable, can be made on any important scale.

 THREE FACES EAST' AT PALACE SUNDAY

Here's an interesting question Could CT wcald ycu kill yonr sweetheart to save your native country from crushing defeat in time of war?
 This is the dilemma that con fronts Jetta Goudal in the thrill ing dramatic climax of Three Faces East" thrilling wartime mystery drama of the Secret Service, which will be shown at the Palace Theatre for two days beginning next Sunday. Jetla plays a dual part in this picture, which was adapted by c. Gardner Sullivan from the stage success. She is deep, in the confidence of rival powers, apparently giving valuable information to both sides and it is not until the last feN feet of film that her true identity is revealed.
 In the development of the story Miss Goudal, as Miss Hawtrea presumably a German spy, falls in love with Valdar. a German spy When he is about to serl message to Berlin that all is m readiness for an air raid on Lon- don which, if consummated, means the death of thousands if not the destruction of the city itself, she covers him with her revolver and threatens to kill him if he sends the message. A revolver battle ensues with the result that Valdal is mortally wounded, but b, whom, only the final scenes re veal.
 This is only one of many thrill ing scenes in this remarkable pic ture in which Miss Goudal, Rob ert Ames, Henry Walthall anf Give Brook are featured.
