THE CRISIS.

The nation generally will be reluc*tant to believe that we are to have 'open warfare with Mexico. The hope that President Wilson will continue to '"be master of the situation abides and ..for this reason "We are not bent on territorial acquisition, we' are not seeking national aggrandizement, we t.«|o not relish the prospect and trejrinendouB burden of serving as the 'monitor of Mexico, as we have in the

Philippines and Porto Rico, and finally there is nothing to b* gained. A few Americans n Mexico on profit-hunting bent have had ample warning. Their 'greed should not be thrown into the balance against the peace of this nation and the lives o£ American boys tend for all these reasons the hope prevails that the seeming acute situation Of today will pass from us, The stand the preside rft is that American honDr shall not be infringed upon. Relations1 between nations can reach a point #here nothing but i fight satisfies a people's, self-respect. If Mexico is going to press it to that point, every min of this nation will be found at £be president's back.

A PEOPLE DIVIDED.

A cable letter in the Sunday papers i Wmtemplating conditions in Ireland laid that country would never be the ffima offer the revolution of last Easter

Monday. It pointed out that Tyrone, Fermanagh, Armagh, Antrim, Derry Uid Down—five counties of the provJice of Ulster—are to be separated o, fcom the rest of Ireland if the settlelaent plans now being discussed by E»v|ohn s Redmond and Sir Edward Car|on- axe carried through. The rest of nbland, including the Ulster counties

Donegal, Cavan and Managhan, will pme under the authority of a Dublin Mrliament. mt seems likely that as a makeshift ne settlement will be brought about.

It is distinctly understood to be only temporary, a measure to restore harmony in Ireland until the close of the European war. When peace is declared the Irish question may be re-opened. The nationalists will insist on this stipulation.

In order that the Irish nationalists may be as strong as at present when the time comes for a revision of the temporary arrangement, the Irish representation in the British parliament is to remain at its present strength despite the establishment of Ireland's own parliament in Dublin. It is clearly foreseen that the fight will begin as soon as Europe is at peace, for the nationalists are bitterly opposed to any partition of Ireland, while the TJlster unionists, willing to concede home rule to the nationalist provinces, insist that they will never, consent to be ruled by a Dublin government.

The temporary compromise, therefore, seems favorable to the unionists in that it provides for the secession of five counties, in two of which there is a strong nationalist element. It is likely that the Carsonites hope to make the arrangement permanent. The nationalists, on the other hand, are eager for the establishment of the long sought Irish parliament, arfd are inclined to be satisfied with the generous plan of permitting them to have their own parliament and at the same time retain their present large representation in the British parliament. The latest indications are that the settlement will be agreed to and put into effect without undue delay.

SEASON8 OF WORK.

Christmas cheer and July lethargy have been proved the enemies of industry. A Tale professor has gathered data for four years and finds that there is less work done in January than in any other month. July and August rank next. This professor made his observations in factories where the piece work system is used, and his conclusions should be fairly accurate estimates of human energy and capability. And he turns our calculations upside down by showing that the coldest month in the year is the month in which the least work is done.

Of course it is true that cool weather stimulates the circulation and arouses nervous activity. Equally of course it is true that warm weather has the effect of relaxing one's efforts. But extreme cold is as bad for work as is extreme heat. It exerts a depressing influence on the worker his motions grow sluggish, just as they do in dog days. Then again, there is a relaxation after the Christmas rush—a re-action from the high speed of November and December.

It is concluded that one begins to do his good work in September, gets snappier through October and November, rushes at top speed in Pecember, and slumps all in a heap in January. Then

The man called Wentworth stepped closer to him and lowered his voice suggestively. "You've made a killing on munitions, Maxwell—by forcing the stock up. Why not keep up the good work "What do you mean?" "Isn't this the psychological time, with all this talk of neutrality, not to mention your own publicity as a philanthropic agent, to force the stock down? Just fancy for a moment what would happen. The whole country is crazy with the so-called millionaires, made over night and everyone, from newsboys up, is so anxious to Invest in anything, suggesting munitions, or war supplies, that muntion stock can't be supplied fast enough. The right man at the right place can make the biggest clean-up the street has seen for years—by the right kind of pressure on those stockp! You know what I mean. Why not make a little pool of three, and stand ready to garner the harvest when the crash comes?"

Maxwell surveyed the other silently —a disconcerting silence, had Maxwell been a keener student of psychology. "What about the ruin that would result—to innocent Investors?"

he picks up bit by bit through the spring, but slumps again in July. The best work is done when the temperature averages about 40 degrees, and where daily changes of from 10 to 15 degrees are common occurrences. And it is furthermore discovered that every time a severe storm comes along, and is followed by cooler weather, people's efficiency is increased.

In the name of efficiency and accomplishment let us give thanks for our changeable weather in this Wabash valley.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

Dr. Carl T. Enck of the Chicago university just home from a visit to Europe says that while it has Often been said that the United States has not a friend, abroad, he reached the conclusion that it was not so much the outcome of our diplomatic policy as it was bitter envy because this country escaped the horrid, blighting effects of the murder carnival abroad.

America, alone of the great nations of the world, Is at peace. There has been provocation during the past two years it has required forbearance and patience t^ keep the United States from plunging into the world's fury. It has, too, required firmness of leadership and wisdom of counsel.

The greatest benefactors are not those who lead their nations into war or even to military triumph. Far more deserving is the leader who saves his people from the sufferings of conflict.

When Wodrow Wilson was elected the upheaval of 1914 was not even dimly foreseen. Mr. Wilson was chosen by the people to carry out important changes in the American scheme of life. He has worked strongly toward the accomplishment of these reforms, and has an enviable record of constructive labor.

But his greatest achievement has been his guiding the United States in the path of peace. He has guided so skillfully, indeed, that it may truthfully be claimed that without recourse to bloodshed the republic is victor and has carried all its contentions. It was altogether proper, therefore, for temporary Chairman Glynn at St. Louis to devote his "keynote" speech so largely to the democratic leader's great work of maintaining American neutrality. Only by a careful contemplation of the misery of the nations which are not neutral can the benefit of the president's tireless efforts be appreciated.

DANGEROUS PRACTICE.

Prohibition leaders fcavt begun a campaign which is dangerous to the safetj^bf the country and utterly discreditable to themselves. The plan is to pledge 5,000,000 voters to vote against any party and any candidate who does not openly favor national prohibition, regardless of his views on national defense, on foreign policy, and on industrial preparedness. "The nation-wide movement for national prohibition," reads a statement issued by the committee of sixty, "furthered by the effort tj secure 5,000,000 voters to pledge themselves to vote only for such party and candidates as stand

THE MISSING MILLIONAIRE

STORY NO. 9—Continued". Two men entered the room, both with outstretched hands, and effusive smiles. Regardless of the obvious coldness in Maxwell's attitude, they caught his hand, and pumped it up and down with expansive cordiality, after which they lighted fresh cigars, and stood surveying him with their bubbling geniality if possible increasing instead of diminishing. "Well, come to the point, »Durkin," snapped Maxwell. "I know you are here for some selfish motive. And you, too, Wentworth," addressing the other, "if you have anything really important to say. be quick about it. I am a very busy man just now!" "Of course, you are! Don't we know it?" purred Durkin, affecting to disregard the other's curtness. "And I have an idea that you will be a whole lot busier after you hear what we have to offer!" "Just so! Just so!" echoed his companion, parrot-like. "Go to it, then!" growled Maxwell, opening his watch expressively.

"What have we to do with them? There is a sucker born every minute, and I think sometimes the average is a whole lot higher. If we didn't do the trimming, someone else would. And I have an idea that we can do the job just a little bit better than anyone else just now! Come, what do you say?"

Maxwell paced back and forth across the floor, affecting to consider. "Isn't it a fact, Wentworth, that you and Durkin have been caught short on munitions, and that you would stand to profit more than anyone else by the plan you suggest?"

Wentworth laughed in an effort to cover the confusion, which the other's direct question had caused. "What of it? Of course, I have been caught! So have others! We can't all be as lucky as you were." "What do you think I am—as big a scoundrel as you two?" returned Maxwell with deliberate insolence—and he was a man who ,ould be gratingly insulting without so much as raising his voice. The other two flushed. Wentworth darted a glance at Durkin, and strode to the door, followed by his companion. "You will be sorry for this, Maxwell!" and his face was now a dull purple. "No man can insult me as you hfive done and not regret it! You may think you are on top just now, but before we are done "Yes, before we are done with you, you will be on your knees whining for mercy!" interjected Durkin.

The voices of the pair were raised to a point that was far from discreet. A short distance along the corridor, a door opened cautiously, and round its edge peered the wondering face of a girl, who drew back cautiously. It was Mona, and as she held her breath, she motioned silently for Mary to join her. The other was just in time to hear Maxwell's door close with an angry bang, and to see Wentworth and Durkin shake their fists in silent rage at its panels. Then they strode toward the elevator, giving every appearance of two men so thoroughly angry that they dared not trust themselves to speak.

TciBe Continued Tomorrow.

committed by state and national platform declaration to the overthrow of the liquor traffic, is beginning in its sweep through the country."

This statement means that 5,000,000 voters will be asked to sacrifice every Issue, however pressing and however necessary to the national safety, to the one issu^ of forcing prohibition on this country. Th/- seriousness of such a pledge* may he gauged today, when every eye is on Mexico, when we think what it might have meant in 1860 and in 1864. SuoJi tactics might have led 5,000,000 voters to vote for disunion and for a continuance of human slavery.

Perhaps the issues of this campaign are not.so vtal as those of 1861. They are certainly not much less vital. Prohibition leaders are proposing to knife any candidate, however sound his stand on ths fundamental issues before the country, if he does not agree with them.

Would they vote for a candidate whose platform called for war with Germany or war with England just because he showed himself willing to fight the "liquor traffic" also? Would they vote for a' candidate whose two desires were unlimited immigration of orientals and prohibition? That is what such a pledge misht easily mean.

In their zea I such citizens lean backward. What if the situation was reversed? Any man who proposed putting an issue before his allegiance to his country would be branded in his community. In fact he might find himself In a more serious predicament. Such enterprises show shallow thought and really dangerous citizenship.

Tuesday, June 20,1916.

Although'early in the morning Jupiter and the sun are in friendly place, Mars, Saturn and Venus are adverse later and the day is held to be rather unfavorable.

Merchants and bankers are likely to reap profits from recent business transactions, but they should av.oid new enterprises.

The planets are in sinister aspect, so far as peace negotiations axe concerned. Desperate fighting is indicated for the next few weeks and again Paris is warned.

This configuration is not a fortunate one for women who will suffer severe disappointments in public affairs. In the west they should be exceedingly wise in conducting public enterprises as treachery Is indicated by the stars.

Mars has an evil power in this configuration and it is prophesied that there will be some sort of a war scare from an unexpected source. But Astrologers see no sign that the United States will be drawn into a world contest.

that foreshadows reverses and a reign of terror for all prisoners. Peace organizations have the prognostication of great activity and large plans, which will be thwarted -for a number of months, but surprising 'developments will repay wasted effort.

Excitement over federal funds is indicated. Vast expenditures foretold two years ago will bring about a serious financial problem which a man not now reckoned with will solve, the seers declare.

Washington, D. C„ and Toronto, Canada, have the prognostication of sudden excitement concerning men in public life.

Disappointment is indicated in the horoscopes of persons who have held high place in the United States. The stars presage conditions that affect men of varied political .faith, who have supreme ambitions.

This is not a lucky day to speculate and mining ventures may be especially unfortunate.

Persons whose birthdate it is have a happy omen for the year. They should benefit from friends or acquaintances. Women may have advantageous offers of marriage.

Children born on this day probably will succeed easily and rise rapidly in professional or .business life. Girls have the augury of love that will bring contentment.

Worth Knowing

It is time the housewife should be advised on the baking powder subject and about the misleading advertisements. The average consumer of baking powder does not know that a reaction occurs in the process of baking and the nature of the original materials is entirely changed, so that the substances which remain in the food to be eaten are very different from those which compose the baking powder before baking.

THE HOUSEWIFE SHOULD KNOW

that for this reason the statement that a baking powder contains alum or cream of tartar is worthless so far as informing the consumer as to what remains in the food,

WHAT IS EATEN

is what interests the consumer. What you eat as food is important.

Food prepared with cream of tartar baking powder does not contain any cream of tartar. Food prepared with so-called alum powder is free from alum.

When Cream of Tartar. Powders Are Used

quantities of Rochelle Salts are left in the food. Rochelle Salts is a dangerous drug and is produced by the reaction which occurs in baking.

Why do the Cream of Tartar Baking Powder Manufacturers continually talk about what is in the can instead of what is in the food to be eaten?
