Army Is Stirred

Army and navy officers are terribly
concerned over the bill just passed by
the house. and soon to be considered In
the senate, for taking the profit out Of
war. They assure everyone who will
listen to them In private, that 1t will
also take national defense out Of war;
which might be very serious indeed to
the nation In the event Of conflict.
The pacifists hail the bill as.
"A bin to keep the United States out
OF war by providing In advance that
there will be ~ profits for none. and
f2) confiscatory taxes for all, so that
1t will be to every Americans interest
to keep the United States al peace"
Army and navy experts say that 1t
should be called.
"A bin CD to transfer the war mu-
nitions industry now In the United
| States. and which might be started
here, 10 foreign soil. co to provide for
murderous delay In preparation in case
a war Is forced on this country, 60 10

Soldier Bonus

Naturally, the soldier bonus was not
on the must" list. The President does
not want that. But II anyone thinks
that Ii Is not going TO take lot OF the
senate's time, he just does not know
very much about the senate. Especial
~, as the best predictions now are that
the bonus legislation, after passing
both houses. and being vetoed, will be
passed over the veto by the house and
then fall Of passage In the senate.
This unofficial program calls for two
separate considerations OF the measure
by the senate! q
That is not all. Very few adminlstra-
ton leaders are optimistic enough to be-
lleve this congress viii adjourn without
giving the soldiers something. Which
means that time must intervene-after
d sufficient demonstration of strength
to frighten the White House, and after
to frighten the American Legion--for
a compromise to be worked out.

For an invention that enables a
blind person to read any book or pa
per, the John Price Wetherill medal
will be awarded on May - TO Robert
T. hamburg, of New York, by the
Franklin institute, Philadelphia. Mr..
Naumburg's invention, known as the
VIsagraph, READS" printed words for
the blind with the aid Of photo
electric cell, and emhosses each let
ter, several times enlarged, upon q
strip of paper which passes under the
finger-tips of the operator. The ma
chine first was tried at Perkins 1nsti-
tuition for the. Blind, WATERFOWL,
Mass, and Is regularly used there.
It's advantage Is TINT any printed ma
terlal may be read, and the reader
need not know Braille, or any other
system for the blind. The charac-
tiers reproduced by the machine sim
ply are magnified reproductions OF
the printed letters.-Llterary Digest.

THE FORD V.8 is ready for normal driving
when you buy it. There is no tedious period
of breaking-in for 500 or 1000 miles. You
can drive it up to so miles an hour the first
day. And after the first hundred miles you
can drive it as fast as you desire.
That means greater motoring enjoyment for
every motorist. 1t is especially important to
motorists who are thinking about new car
for vacation trip - to physicians, salesmen
and all those who use a car for business. In
stead of dragging along at slow speeds for
days, you can make good time from the start

Barn Collapses
The Dewey Parks barn seeming
to have tired of standing it's almost
100 years, cayed in one night last
week. 1t had been filled to capacity
with this years crop of hay, SEEM

take the place of the old one.

In most continued stories the fin
ish is the finest. Not so in the case
of high waters, of which we start
ed to tell last week. Following a
rain which startet about IL p. m.,
Tuesday night and continued
through the night and up until
about a. M, Wednesday, Aug. Z,
1895, Meigs creeks rose and kept
on rising, breaking first one record
then another. Bear, Greer, King,
Mouse and in fact all runs tributary
to these streams seem to have
wed with one another to show folks
what they could do, washing out
bridges, roads, fences, destroying
crops which had not hitherto been
reached. While the loss is great to
farmers and tax payers, we have
the fact to be thankful for, that no
lives were lost, and no homes de-
stroyed.
Presto, Off They Came
Earl Wilson, dog warden, went
to recover some of his wife's tur
keys which had been surrounded
by the flood waters, when a sudden
rise changed his mode of travel
from wading to swimming. He had
attired himself in rubber boots and
the clothing required to make an
official of law and compunction pre-
sentable. When he changed to
swimming he found it compulsory
to cast off his boots and trousers.
He managed to hang his trousers on
a willow and thus came to shore.
Then his troubles started anew, as
he had to send out an S. O. S. for
raiment in which to reach the
home plate. After getting him re-
attired he seems at least 78 percent
normal. Any reader finding the
boots please leave at Democrat Of
fee (down stairs).
Lost, Deg Days
While there have been many
changes since we started on life's
journey, this has probably been the
only year that we have not had dog
days-at least folks, older than we,
and much more learned in these
matters tell us that even the al
manacs have failed to tell anything
about them. Mayhap they were
only poodle dog kind, and not
worth mentioning.
When the blue Muskingum turns
to "yaller' the poets don't sing.
Hog raisers who settled with the
government for the hogs they sold
previous, are surely entitled to an
other check, since the increase in
price. The government should be
ashamed taking advantage of the
poor innocent hog raisers in that
way.
