"FOOLS' PARADISE."

In his speeches Judge Hughes keeps $ repeating the idea that this country is a "fools' paradise," meaning that present prosperity of the country "ill due to extravagant and untoward events, and that the people are headed towards reverses and poverty.

DO YOUR SHOPPING EARLY.

A Wabash avenue jeweler says that the. present tremendous prosperity of the people of this country is giving the market for precious stones the biggest boom it ever had in this country. The imports of diamonds and gems of many kinds are breaking all records. Those who used to say that the craze for automobiles would kill the jewelry trade, or at least cripple it badly, are forced to admit that they did not know what they were talking about.

By the end of the. year the imports of precious stones are expected to reach $50,000,000. They were more than $5,000,000 in the one month of August, at New York alone. That is believed to mean the greatest holiday trade in fine jewelry that the country ever knew.

The plain truth is that most of the vast expenditures of the American people for automobiles have virtually been added to the expense of living. Luxuries such as jewelry and pianos, oriental rugs and paintings, rare and costly wearing apparel and elaborate and expensive furniture and bric-a-brac, are in better demand than they were before automobiles wer4 invented. Motor cars are not a substitute, but an addition to the pleasures of life, except in so far as they have taken the place of horse-drawn vehicles.

THE NEED OF THRIFT.

The present shortage of paper which is causing newspapers to cut down their pages, hotels to cut down the size of the menu cards, and which i9 forcing magazines from finely calendered paper to the cheaper grades, has hit the business world by- its suddenness. Any prediction of these conditions si few months ago would have been considered foolish. However, it is all too true. "Save your old rags and papers so they can be sold and used as paper stocks," says Secretary of Commerce Redfield.

We are parting with the past of plenty and waste, of indifference toward small things and contempt for farthing savings. Cabinet officers of previous administrations have lamented the destruction of mighty forests, the erosion of farm lands, the high cosUof jerry building. But they saw waste only when, it was on a broad and spectacular scaje.... They would have resented the ideal of appealing to housewives to save rags and Crumpled newspapers..

How I Earned My First Dollar

Harold E. McQuinn, local manager of the American Telephone and Telegraph company, harvested his first 100 pennies at the tender age of 12 in Cleveland, O., where he was born about —well, several years ago.

Mr. McQuinn was employed in school vacation time in a shoe store delivering foot-gear to "Cinderellas." Wearying of this, he entered the service of the Western Union Telegraph company at Cleveland four years later as a check boy. From that position, though he left the Western Union company for another branch of the electric service, he has worked his way up to an enviable position.

Five years after he entered the employ of the Western Union company, McQuinn accepted an offer from the American Telephone and Telegraph company and was transferred to Terre Haute as manager of the local branch in 1910.

fastened decisive nicknames upon them. The time when the nation can Ignore small savings is gone if ever really there was such a time. We must have smokeless cities if only because smoke represents waste of fuel and destruction of property, from -building stone to window curtains. Stubble fields will have to be plowed under instead of burned because burning destroys the valuable organic matters of the stubble and the surface humus of the soil. Rags and paper should be saved because the original sources of paper stock are strictly limited and because, also, it is foolish to burn material which can be used over and over again almost limitlessly.

In the new period, not only will little things count—as they always have —but we will all be quite aware that they count, which has not always been the case with Americans.

CONSIDER THE JITNEY.

An article in the current issue of the Electric Railway Journal calls attention to an interesting subject when it says that the jitney has passed into history. Also it makes the claim thatthe electric street railways have won out in the fight between the two forms of transportation.

The Philadelphia Inquirer in considering the same proposition a few days ago, said: "An examination of the monthly earnings of the street railways would seem to bear out this contention. There is no doubt that the popular jitneys did menace -tti$ .existence of many of the street car companies for awhile, and .tjbat. they seriously "impaired the earnings Of the street cars for a considerable period.

city councils and state legislatures had something to do with the passing of the jitneys. Only a comparatively small number were able to pay the license fee required and to put up the bonds that were asked to guarantee damages in the case of deaths and accidents. The result of all this is that the jitney, as such, is mow a sort of curiosity in most places. It has ceased to exist, except in a very few communities where the conditions are peculiarly favorable to its operation. "But the real cause of the passing of the jitneys did not come from regulation, which was secessary, or from the exaction of license fees, which were not unreasonable, but from the *fact that they could not be profitably operated by carrying passengers for a nickel. The death blow came in the advanced price of gasoline and the higher cost of tires. When to this was added the cost of wear and tear, there was little or nothing left for the individual who was running the car. "Also it should not be forgotten that the high tide of the jitneys was about the time when large numbers of men were out of employment, and when they were glad to turn. to anything to make a few dollars. But for the time being they presented an interesting sight to the public and caused a great deal of concern to the public officials who were called upon to solve a problew which at the time did not seem to be easily solvable. They were quite a fad for awhile, and this, reminder oftheir existence fshowst-ihow quickly new things can come and go and be forgotten in this country of ours."

TEN YEARS AGO TODAY. From the Tribune File*.

September 17,1906.

Claude G. Bowers opened the Vigo county campaign for the democratic party with an address at Lewis, Ind.

Those who heard him had known him, and they knew that such a' radical change could be explained only on one basis. They knew that Paul* had said hold on the truth.

They gave to his testimony the last and the only answer of ignorance, prejudice and bigotry. They could not answer by logic or by experience, so they did answer, "Kill him." It was the same answer that had been given Jesus. The Roman captain was air-out to examine Paul by scourging. It is significant that we, too, are examined more by our scourgings than by our pettings and pamperings. How' men bear adversity is a greater and better test of their character than'1 prosperity. Scourgings of ill health, financial loss or otherwise search out our hidden defects better than aught else. Life here is a school room for the development of character. We should know that God has a plan for each one of us. If scourgings come it is that weaknesses and defects may -be revealed and remedied.

Paul's defense consisted of a story of his life. Nothing could be better than that. No one can go back of one's own personal experience. The blind man who had been healed said, "This one thing I know, that whereas I was blind, now I do see." There is nothing so good as a personal testimony of one's own experiences with Jesus.

GOOD AND EFFICIENT GOVERNMENT

Some Comments on the Achievements of the Wilson Administration by Congressman Ralph W. Moss of the Fifth Indiana District.

In no equal space of time in the history of the world has one-tenth as much been accomplished in a legislative and administrative way for the benefit ^f the farmer as has been done during the Wilson administration. A simple review of its record demons a e s e y o n question the fact.

The rural credits law, inaugurate and enacted by the Wilson administration, affords to the farmers of the o u n y e u a i a cilities in the matter of borrowing money

as are af

forded to other business men. Not only will they be able to borrow money as readily as others, but on liie same terms, and the lowering of the interest rates and the cutting out of commissions and expenses which resulc from this law, will annually oat's htiiirtreds of millions of dollars to the fr.nners^of the nation. This law alone nurits for the Wilson administration the ordiai support and approval ot all farmers and farm owners.

This sentence from Present Wilsbn' speech of acceptance -state ouiy an accomplished fact: "For the farmers of the A/e have "virtually created commercial credit, by means of the federal reserve law anid the rural credits law. They now have the same standing as other 'business men in the money market."

Panic Prevention.

The federal reserve act helped a sreat deal the farmer, along with all other business men, by majcing a market for hundreds of millions of dollar* worth of farm mortgages and negotiable paper based on live stock. Further, it .will be recalled how promptly the •secretary of the treasury in this administration furnished all the money needed and at a low rate, to move the crops to market.

ence, but lower rates of freight to the farmer for the tremendous tonnage of agricultural products he ships to nations abroad.

In the revision of the tariff in the Wilson administration very carevul attention was given, to the needs and rights of the farmer and his special interests cared for. On the free list are placed agricultural tools, implements and machinery and animals imported for breeding purposes, while the tariff was lowered on other articles he has to purchase.

Better Markets.

A division of markets and rural organization has been created to study arid disseminate information to the farmers as to the best' methods of transportation, storage, marketing and distribution of agricultural products. How often have farmers seen their products rotting in cellars or barns, or used in unprofitable ways, when there was a crying need in many places for those very things or have seen some markets glutted until fruits rotted in warehouses or commission houses," or sold for less than storage charges or even were given aWay, when at the same time other markets were in want of those very products? Such mistakes, such waste, such loss need never occur again. Information of the needs of the various markets are at the farmer's command, as well as instructions as to standards, transportation and storage.

Stock (not livestock) brokers, dealers in grain and cotton, meat products and other commpditles (after they have left the farmer's hands) have long had daily Information of market conditions and quotations. The Wilson administration puts the. farmer on a par with them. Another Instance of democratic "equal rights to all."

The grain standard law insures uniformity in the grading of grain, and affords a great protection to the grain growers. The cotton futures law goes far to protect the cotton growers from the dishonest practices of cotton exchanges and, manipulations of the market. The warehouse act makes possible the issuance to and use by the farmer of negotiable warehouse receipts, thus enabling him -to hold his grain for a favorable market, and yet, in the meantime, have the use of the greater proportion of its value.

The appropriations for eradication of'the cattle tick were doubled that for hog cholera serum quadrupled. Four and a half million dollars were spent to fight the foot and mouth disease. The total agricultural appropriations- were increased fifty per cent.

Good Roads.

The national encouragement to and financial assistance in the building of good roads, whereby $160,000,000 is distributed among the several states for road building, brings the benefits of the Wilson administration to the farmer's very gate. Ay! this is but a step tn a great movement.

Transportation is of vital Importance to the farmer. The load of grain or potatoes or tobacco or bale of cotton is worth to-trie farmer its value at the market less the cost of getting it there, including the cost of hauling to the railroad station from the farm. This is the dollar and cent value of good roads. But an even greater value is the facilities they afford for the better' education, the easier access to the church and school, the bettering and increasing of the spcial life of the farmer, hie wife, his boys and girls.

The commission on rural life in America (and due credit is willingly given the republicans for this preliminary survey), in its report, laid special stress on good roads, largely in

view of their effect on the social life of the country districts. The report was made to the republican president and congress in 1909. It was received it was filed it was published. All action on the matters it dealt with has been by the Wilson administration.

Vocational Education.

The rural life commission laid great stress also on the need for vocational education for the farmer's boys and girls. The Smith-Hughes bill will put a vocational course of training in every high school in the country. It is an extension and an elaboration of the system by which the national government now aids each state in the maintenance of its agricultural colleges and "experiment stations.

Agricultural Extension Act. Last in the list but not the least in importance is the agricultural extension act which provides for co-op-erative agricultural extension work between the agricultural colleges and experiment stations of the several states and the federal department of. agriculture. It is backed by an appropriation of $8,600,000, and Wfll place two agricultural experts in «wry county In the nation. It wlU be of .Immeasurable benefit to agriculture and agriculturists.

Thus again the Wilson administration showed .its true estimate of the Value of the farmer to the commonwealth, and paid him the attention that is his due.

Conolnalon.

The Wilson administration challenges comparison with Its predecessors- Let- the ftumers of the' nation fairly and justly compare their conditions now, the prices they are receiving for their cattle and. agricultural products, with those, of 1912 or other years. Let them compare the 'legislation in their behalf of the Wilson administration with that of any other. Let them consider the assured Improved prospect ahead of them tutder laws passed by the Wilson administration in their financial, their business and social life.

Astrologers read this as a day of strong good influences slightly affected by weak evil influences. Uranus and Mercury are in beneflc aspect, while Neptune, Jupiter and Mars are unfriendly.

The sway is believed to be conductive to mental and phyiscal activity. It is a favorable rule for firm, well directed action in business or professional affairs.

The vogue of new cults ana the popularity of strange teachers again are prophesied.

It is a lucky -time for winding up old accounts and finishing business affairs that have been delayed.

Scandals are foreshadowed. These will affect all classes, especially, in Texas, Arizona and Colorado.,

A fire or a panic in a theatre is prognosticated. This may take place on an occasion of unusual interest.

A birth of public interest will attract attention when the winter is beginning. Philadelphia comes under a rule that indicates sensational .events.

There is a good sign for persons who belong in the west. This may mean prosperity to Californians and other residents on the Pacific coast.

Persons whose birthdate it is should be exceedingly circumspect in the coming years. They should not speculate or spend money.

Children born on this, day are likely to be gifted, industrious and resourceful, but they may meet with obstacles. A girl may marry a man whp dritiki too much.
