banks of the Allegheny River. In
the cauldron they found a large
tom-cat, stewing. ChriStman and
Battleof explained that the cat
was to be boiled until the flesh
softened and fell away from the
bones. Free of flesh and griStle
and whitened by the boiling
water, the bones were to be "cast
upon the waters"-of the Ale

Those which floated upstream
were to be retrieved and pulver-

CUTTING SBOLT
CERTAIN To AID
GOVERNOR
Nominee to Have Brief Rest
/ At Ranch; To See Norris
On His Trip East
BY. GEORGE R. HOLMES

WILLIAMS, Ariz., Sept. &c
QN.S.). - Exuberant over
Democratic prospects on the
Pacific Coast, Gov. Franklin
D. Roosevelt faced eastward
today for a hard weeks cam
paigning across the continent.
The week will see him traverse
the Southwest. the Middle-West,
including the larger cities of the
Great Lakes region, and bring
him to Albany in time for the
Democratic State conventional
convention whose decisions may
be important in the Democratic
scheme Of things this year.
At Ranch for Rest
Today the Democratic nominee
enjoyed brief respite from the
Eigors of campaigning by visiting
q Southwestern cattle ranch, the
quarter circle Double x establish
ment operated by Mrs. Jack
Greenway. A rodeo was put on
in his honor, attended by the
Democratic leaders of the State
and most of the prominent
rancherS of northern Arizona
and New 4Aexico.
Here as elsewhere on his West
ern invasion, Governor Roosevelt
was assured that his prospects in
November are excellent. Arizona
has only given its electoral vote
for a Democrat twice since its
Statehood, both times to Wood
row Wilson, but with economic
conditions as they are, party
leaders have assured him that
the State is his in November.
Arizona's principal industries
are mining. particularly copper,
and cattle. Both are in bad condi-
ton.
Cutting Bolt Helps
Democratic prospects in the
Southwest have been enhanced,
too, by the Republican bolt of
Senator Bronson Cutting (RD of
New Mexico, who has Just resigned
as Republican national commit
tee man, and whose followers have
announced they will put a third
party ticket in the field in No
vember for State offices.
Cutting has not announced for
Roosevelt, but his friends assert
he will not support President
Hoover. In this respect, Senator
Cuttings position is somewhat
comparable to that of Senator
Hiram johnson in California.
johnson has not formally bolted
President Hoover. Yet he point
eddy and publicly criticized Mr..
Hoover as "unprogressive" during
Roosevelt's visit to California,
while at the same time paying
high tribute to the Democratic
nominee as symbolizing progress
sive doctrine.
Cutting, in New Mexico, and
johnson, in California, are in

worked. this mounting and framing
under glass prevailed, and Is still fol-
lowed
Tapestries even those of fabulous
worth exhibited i'll museums, are hung
unframed and minus glass. They may
be mounted on board backgrounds, but
this is unusual The accepted way is
to mount them on two smooth strips
of wood one at the top and the other
at the bottom. The tapestry is hung
by the top strip while the bottom one
keeps the textile smooth and straight
comparatively light weight. the strain
of the lower strip of wood can be
slight to be sufficient. This method Of
hanging modern tapestries is correct.
Frequently modern tapestries, if not
large. are mounted on artists stretch
ers and are then framed.
Lightweight textiles, such as strip
OF India print, handsome silk, hand
blocked linen, etc, are used in the
same way as tapestry. One can be
mounted on strips of wood, or artists
stretcher and be framed or unframed.
Sometimes a background textile can be
thumb-tacked to the wall. The force
of the mirror or picture hung against
it will help keep it straight and even.
Requests have come to me from
readers who wish to know the right way
to use and put up textile wall hangmgs.
1t is in response to these questions that
the historic account of such wall dec
orations has been given. and the meth
ods of hanging the textiles.

AnSWer-It was an unheard-of dis
courtesy on the part of the teacher even
to comment on the damaged binding.
On the other hand, it was the obliga-
ton of the borrower to replace the book
without being asked. If the borrower
did nothing about it. teacher should
have said nothing Though borrower

ask for a new book and then for the old

A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.

In the day of prosperity and plenty
the people of Israel had wantonly
eaten up the good pasture" In those
boom" days. when things came easy
and in plentiful supply, what they con-
sumed in extravaganza seemed "a small
thing to them. They reveled and
feasted. and thought nothing OF their
prodigality. 1t never seemed to occur
to them that the good pasture" might
be exhausted. But the day came when
1t was exhausted, and they were re-
duced TO live on bare residue OF
their former abundance. They had
none to blame but themselves. BY their
prodigality in the days when they had
plenty they had brought upon them
selves the poverty from which they now
suffered. Their present want came
from their previous wantonneSs. They
could scarcely miss the point. and the
irony with which he spoke, when the
prophet Ezekiel reminded them OF their
folly: "Seemeth it small thing unto
YOU to have eaten up the good pasture.
but We must tread down with your feet
the residue OF your pastures?'
All this sounds as though 1t might
be a recital of recent American history.
SO Strikingly does 1t parallel what we
have witnessed in America in these re-
cent times. But little while ago We
were luXuriating in ''the good pasture
of prosperity and abundance. We had
a surplus of money and everything else.
1t was estimated that We were earning
$40 900 100000 a year more than We
needed to live on. Having such
superabundance, We plunged into
regular carnival of extravaganza and
excessive expenditures. We had no re-
gard for economy We were recklessly
Wasteful. In those days our wanton-
ness and wasteftlneSS seemed "a small
thing" to us We could see nothing
ahead but increasing success and plenty.
We thought our good pasture could
never fail But it did fail! What we
have left of it today is only bare
residue Where there was wanton-
ness yesterday there is want today.
Many of us are today living on less
than what We wasted yesterday. A while
back we gloated in our plenty. now we
groan in our poverty. "Seemeth it now
a small thing to have eaten up the
good pasture" so wantonly and waste
fully? Surely We must feel the bitter
irony of that question. even as did
the people of Israel when Ezekiel con-
fronted them with it. How it con-
demrs us for our folly, 1t reminds us
that We have only ourselves to blame
for the plight We are In. When We
dance We must pay the fiddler, We are
distressed Nation today. II you ask
for the cause. the answer is mainly this:
aye have eaten up the good pasture"
