BRIEF REMARKS Equality causes no war.—Solon. Some mistake patience for sense. A good example is-the best sermon. Equivocation is first cousin to a lie. An empty head contains many surprises. Italy has some 4,200,000,000 lemon* a year. Equity is half religion.—Turkish proverb. Many things lawful are not expedient. He who goes on an occasional spree is better off. Some men do well by doing their best friends. Most men who pay as they go are slow travelers. It is dead easy to find trouble and make excuses. Each cat consumes on an average 50 birds a year. ! _ L New York city has more than 100,000 clubwomen. i — ’t It often happens that a good talker is a poor thinker. — z The art of pleasing is the art of rising in the world. Nothing is so painful as some men’s efforts to be funny. Men who know It, all are seldom able to furnish the proof. Jokes on marriage are funny to those ! who are not married. / — Yes, Cordelia, advice should be well shaken before taken. Honesty cannot be bought or sold — it is not marketable. To cease being a nuisance is the worthiest of reforms. . . ‘ * V • ■ • A grain of strychnine will embitter 000,000 gallons of water.

WATSON FLAYS WILSON LEAGUE

assembly, from Hedjas, in Asia, from Greece and the other nations that have 'signed up, would decide the question. '‘Never, as long as I represent the people of Indiana, will I consent ’ for any foreigners to settle any domestic policy for the United States. If they tried to decide you would have more war than you ever had. England will control the league of nations, because by her seilf-governing colonies, all of whom have a vote in the assembly, England would carry the necessary votes.. Wilson gave England the power, because he wanted the support of England and her colonies to make him the'first president of the world. 'Never Refused League. “We did not say we would not accept the league of nations. What we said was we would accept it with American principles injected in it, instead of the principles that give the foreign countries the power to direct the domestic policies of the United States. Why, down in Washington they had a flag, a flag of the league of nations, which they proposed to fly at the top of the mast. Never, as long as I have the power of speech to prevent, and a vote to cast against it will any other flag fly above Qld Glory on an American flag staff. “The final settlement of the whole matter will be getting rid of the fellows who have made a mess of everything they have touched since they got in office, and electing republicans who will put the country back on the good old American principles, and within the shadow of the constitution.” 4 Compliment, Wood. Mr. Watson spoke in very complimentary terms of the work of Representative Will R. Wood, and said that after much investigation and listening to the arguments of the heads of the various departments, Mr. Wood had caused 41,000 democratic office holders to be discharged, because they were excess .baggage to the government. He also praised Warren T. McCray and said if he were elected governor the people would have nothing to regret. Talks were also made by Representative Will R. Wood, Warren T. McCray and State Chairman E. M. Wasmuth.

Wireless for Shipwrecked.

However well equipped with wireless a ship may be, an accident that results in its sinking puts an end to its distress signals, and may not even allow time to begin them, leaving its hurriedly manned lifeboats without any means of communication with each other or with a rescue ship. An eastern inventor has designed a simple and compact radio system intended as permanent equipment for one or more lifeboats on each vessel, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. The wireless apparatus, used for both telegraphing and telephoning, Is inclosed in a water-tight box at the stern, and grounded through a metal plate on the bottom of the boat. To shut out extraneous sounds and a#l to the sensitiveness- of the set, the operator is equipped with - a helmet containing the telephone receivers.

FEW ENTER “DISMAL SWAMP”

Forbidding Region In Virginia and North Carolina Extends No Hoe* pitable Hand to Visitors. The name “Dioma) Swamp" la a byword everywhere, and a legend has grown up around It of a dreary, boggy, unknown region of snakes and dark, damp thickets, where runaway slaves fled for refuge. This region is btit little better known today than it was when George Washington himself laid out a route through it ■The swamp is old historically. The first settlers at Norfolk and the region round about knew of it as a wild, impassable bit of country full of game and of valuable timber—cypress, so good for making shingles; juniper, black gum and beech. In 1728 Col. Byrd, while trying to establish the boundary line between Virginia and North Carolina, rap a survey across it; working with the greatest difficulty and making only a mile a day through the thick growth. He It was who named It the Dismal swamp. , Later surveys and government maps show that the wilderness contains about 800 square miles of wood and water lying in a tract twenty miles wide and forty-five long, and extending twenty mile» into Virginia and twentyfive Into North Carolina. The soil IS a sort of rich black vegetable mould, dry and caky at some seasons, and saturated with water at .others. The whole region is like a huge sponge, alternately dry and wet, and as the'swamp level, ctAlously enough, Is twenty’feet above tidewater, it is the Source of many rivers and streams. There are deer in the woods, but It is the wild cattle that give the best sport. The ancestors of these “reedfed” cattle, as they are called, strayed in from the fields and took up their abode in the swamp. The result is a race of small, active, wild cattle, the flesh bf which is a delicious combination of the qualities of wild game and tame animals., There is a chance that before many years the greater part of the swamp will be redeemed from its present wildness into civilized farm land, but it will be many years before the bear and wild cattle and moccasin snakes disappear from their’refuges, and before the rare plants and birds that still draw botanists and ornithologists from all parts of the country will be found only in, museum show cases.

Going Into Debt to Save.

One of our advertisers' frequently uses this slogan in his appeals for business: Go into debt to save. It is excellent advice. Many people have such a horror of debt that they do not differentiate between kinds of debt, but try to avoid them all. Debts incurring for running expenses mean living beyond one’s income and, while sometimes necessary in emergencies, are deplorable and not to be contracted except in cases of dire necessity. But going into debt for the purpose of making conservative Investments 18 a wise policy, is the belief of the Ohio State Journal. Such debts get a man started right and provide him with that very important aid in saving, a positive and definite incentive. If he buys a bond, paying part down and binding himself to pay the balance in specified installments at regular Intervals, he is not likely to go back on his agreement. Under such an arrangement he is more likely to Save a certain sum each month than If he were merely trying to save it under no obligation to anyone but himself. It helps him stick to a good habit. Going into debt to save is a step toward independence.

Pharaoh’s Throne in Philadelphia.

Part of the palace to which the Pharoh Merneptah summoned Moses and Aaron to order, the Israelites out of Egypt more than 3,000 years ago is to become a permanent exhibit of the University of • Pennsylvania, In Philadelphia. The palace was discovered under the sands of centuries by Dr. Clarence S. Fisher, world famous archeologist. who has just returned after six years in the field for the University museum. It was located at the site of ancient Memphis, not far from the mouth of the Nile. The sections of the palace obtained include the raised dais on which stood Merneptah’s throne, with the steps at the sides and a ramp in front, on which. In all probability, the two patriarchs of the Old Testament stood after the plagues and heard the order to lead their people from bondage.'
