A man while crossing the conti-

 laughing lot at something he was
 reading in the newspaper. So after
 ward the man picked it up to see
 what was so amusing, and he found it in the section edited by Beatrice
 Fairfax, entitled Advice to the
 Lovelorn." The letter read some- thing like this: Dear Miss Fairfax, sI am . young woman of 39, and I am engaged to marry a man '
 years my junior. He does not
 know that have false teeth. My problem is: shall I tell him now and run the risk of his breaking the engagement or shall wait till
 after marriage and run the risk of
 divorce?" Miss Fairfax's answer

should be a civic worker and booster. First, it is unfair to place the whole burden upon the few and, second, every cit izen owes it to himself and his fellow citizens to do every thing within his power to make the community better that it may the better serve all.
 However, one should not make the mistake of confining his boosting merely to talking about the virtue of his home town; as so many do. Direct advertising pays, but the kind of boosting that pays the high est dividends is sober and per- severing endeavor of the kind that advances the community.

A SERMON ON BOOSTING.

No citizen is so powerful, none so humble, but what his town is an aid to him in some way or other. There is where employs his labor or his capital, builds his home, en- joys the society of his kind and, in short, finds everything that makes life worth the liv- ing. Failing to find these things he usually goes in search of them elsewhere. If he remains it is natural to suppose he has found that which he sought.
 Since your town boosts you why not do as we'll by it as it does by you? To progress it needs the help of every citizen, and every citizen benefits indi- vidually from every community improvement, whether that improvement, take the form of public works, population growth, increased prosperity or business development.
 No community is so miserable and unattractive that it has not it's boosters and none so perfect it has not it's knockers, but that city or town achieves most in civic betterment which has the most boosters.
 There are boosters and many of them in Hyder. They and their forerunners have made it the fine little community it is and are making it the better community all want it to be in the future. But there are two reasons why every citizen

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS

One of the producers decided to advertise. His increased sales enabled him to make the traps for 10 cents each. He then sold them to the trade for Is cents. The purchaser bought them at 25 cents.
 Who paid for the advertis- ing?
 Not the maker of the rat traps, because he made more money by selling more traps. Not the retailer, for he made the same profit on less outlay. Not the purchaser, because he bought them for five cents less.

SHRINKlN rsRECNBACKs.

Americans soon will have a little experience of their own with shrin' 0r money. But, while marks, francs and rubles shrank in value, the dollars shrinkage will be in size. The new bills, one-third smaller in size than those now in circulat- ion, will be placed in distribut- on shortly.
 Although the average citizen has personal reasons to doubt it, about $45O, O,00O,OO0 in bills is outstanding. When the new bills are ready the banks will issue them and send to Wash ington the large ones that come into their possession.
 When the new money has driven out the old it will be found that everybody has been benefited. While the two sizes are in circulation only bankers and magnates will be incon- venienced. But when the last of the large bills has disappear ed from circulation the govern ment will save money, the wad will make a smaller bulge in the pants pocket or silk stock ing and paper money will be more mailable as we'll as port able.
 Small enough to be placed in a wallet or envelope without folding, the diminutive cur rency will remain cleaner and will live longer. Moreover, Secretary Mellon says the new bills will be harder to counter felt and handsomer than the old. If anybody is a better au- thority on money than Mellon, let him be produced. And if he is not complaining about the trouble of counting two sizes of bills nobody should, for few have more in their name and none has more under his of- ficial control.

Emporia editor. in an address here
last night praised the personal cour-

clared his election would menace
the nation
1T is not that Gov. Smith is a
Catholic and a wet which makes
him an olfense to the villagers and

would make--a Tammany presi-
dent" the editor said. He is man
of unusual intelligence. splendid
courage and rare political wisdom,
yet he has a curious record
Reviewing the democratic nomi-
nee's record. Mr.. White said that in
the New York legislature he had
voted 10 times against allowing the
people TO vote on any sort OF re-
striction on the sale of liquor: four
times against stopping gambling
and prostitution in connection with
saloons: three times against repeal
ing the law keeping the saloons
open on Sunday: four times in favor
of removing coming restrictions
which would keep open saloons
from churches and schools. and
three times in favor of laws spon-
sored by organized gambling.

Smith is its prophet" said Mr..
White. 1.-The whole Puritan civiliza-
ton which has built 4 sturdy, Or

Big PROGRAM IN
GERMANY'S NAVY
Rebuilding Proceeds at an
Astonishing Rate

Berlin, July IS (UP)-Germany's
navy, sunk. surrendered to the en-
envy or scrapped after the war, is
icing rebuilt at surprising rate.
Large sums are being spent by the
German government and by Ger
man taxpayers to equip the nation
with an efficient fighting fleet.
The German naval budget, amount
ing TO 22l,000.000 marks this year,
is larger than that of Italy and falls
short OF French naval expenditures
by only about o0,ooo,o00 marks.
I his surprising fact is explained by
German naval experts by numerous
financial disadvantages TO which the
German navy is subjected. and to
which other important naHies are
immune.
The cruiser "Koeln," launched a
few days ago at Wilhelmshaven, is
the latest addition to this country's
maritime forces. During the past
three and half years, Germany has
quietly and without causing a large
splash put four new cruisers and J..
destroyers into commission. SIX
armoured battleships have been
modernized at substantial cost.
-Four New Cruisers
They have been equipped with
new machinery and they have &C
ouired anti-aircraft guns. The Old
11,S0o-ton battleship "Zaehringen"
has been transformed into wire
less controlled target ship at cost
of 100000 marks. Finally. the
Reichstag has appropriated the
first quota of 100000 marks for
the construction of new 10000
ton armoured cruiser, which, Is TO
