I desire to fhai k my friends in Dubois county for thiir hearty support during the recent eleo tion. We .lost in the nation, state and district on accoi nt of the terrific la"' slide I made a clean and honorable campaign and jdid all I could ?or the success of the party. The people of Dubois county were kind ; nd good to me during the campaign, and I desire to thank them for it. With a kindly feeling for oil and and malice toward none. I am, Very trulv yours, John W. Ewing. D ! CT rTmiJT ION OF WE ALT H . It would greatly simplify the? Industrial arid social problem if everybody would grasp the fact that the great function and purpose of ali legitimate business I? to supply tlu? needs and v: mts of the population, and that the aims of business should bo to Increase constantly the supply.

ORIGIN OF WORDS. , In tracing n few German words to their origin, and showing how acts and Ideas became associated and fixed In the language, Professor Grummann has touched on one of the most fascinating branches of study. The pursuit of n-word back through the ages to Its beginning takes the student to the fountain of roan. Real beginnings are lost In antiquity, so that we can only know of the first spoken words by surmise based on hypothetical support, but somewhere written language appears, and while It shades off Into the rnlsts that hide the past. It gives a record of man's struggle upward. Tfhc gradual Improvements in service and adaptability of words clearly mark tho progress of man. Ills Increasing needs, flowing from his expanding Intellect, required new and bötter means for expression, and his social growth is clearly established by the development of his language. Ethnologic divisions are indicated linguistically as well as physically, although the tongue In tho end depends on environment which determines the life of the race: In all Its attributes and manifestations. Thus words and their uses become r.n almost Inerrant Index of the status of the users.

Two thirds of Canada's forests have been destroyed by fire In the last 75 years, according to figures of the forestry department of Canada. The amount of timber burned would have supplied the world for 470 years at the present rate "of consumption and represents a. loss ofja billion dollars. Tho white man is rjflt alone responsible for the destruction of American forests, though he has enough for which to answer. A eminent scientist and historian, according to American Lumberman, states that If the discovery of America had been postponed five centuries the discoverers would have landed on a treeless continent. Indians and lightning set these fires. The Indians were burning the woods to make pasture for deer and buffalo. Most of the forests had been destroyed in the region between the Rocky mountain, and the Mississippi river before theiadvei.t of the white man. An Interesting experiment in nelghborllness lias . been carried on for nearly a year In a part of Toledo which Is populated almost exclusively by Polish immigrants and their descendants. The Polish liuslness Men's club of the district conceived the idea that the needy Polish families In the community should be taken care of In a neighborly way, rather than by charily organizations. The latter were requested not to extend aid In the district, but to notify the club, so rhni It might meet all emergencies. This Is not done front the club treasury, however. An Investigation Is made to determine whether the need Is for money, supplies or work, and the other residents or- the block. Including the tradesmen, are then Informed that their neighbors need their assistance, which, the club reports, Is always fortheotul),. y , As a measure of time the pendulum ranks today as the most perfect of our Instruments, says Scientific American. It Is the part of the clock that keeps time. All the rest of the mechanism Is simply for the purpose of keeping up Its vibration or to point on a dial the number of vibrations tt has made. It swings back and forth In a complete arc thirty times each minute, but allows the escape-wheel to move a cog at each double vibration, thus checking off on the dial, by means of the second hand, sixty seconds of time. In a similar way, minutes and hours are recorded, and by a like process a watch Is guided. ' lty the use of machinery and general farm improvement a fanner has been able to produce f0 bushels of oats, on an average, by a total outlay of one day's lahor,of ,tcn hours. In ISoO, a time of hard labor, the average was six bushels, or one-ninth as much. V A noted scientist tins come to this cc ditry to explain his secret of prolonged life for hunans through the grafting of monkey glands, but at the present cost of sugar and potatoes who wants to make a monkey of himself by living longer? According to statistics, people r.re not buying so many diamonds as formerly. It Is sad how this high cost of living Is bringing sorrow into so many homes, deprived of the necessaries of life.

MONEY A TRUST FUND. It would be the height of wisdom and safety If every man should regard the money he possesses in the light of n trust fund. The honest custodia of funds held In trust feels a grave responsibility. He seeks to do Intelligently his duty by the owners of the sums In his charge. Now every man with capital, small or large, Is virtually a trustee for somebody for his dependents or for himself. He should, therefore, be as careful as possible to make good employment of the money he lias acquired. A poor Investment reacts adversely on the Individual. It lowers his .noralc, sours him, lessens his account as a citizen, while It may impose suffering on those whose protector against want he should be. On the other hand, a paying investment makes one more of a man and a better factor In the community, while it may add to the happiness of- many besides the investor, says Leslie's Weekly. One of the essential steps in making the world better and brighter is to teach men and women what to do and what not to do with their mono-.

The bath is the sign and substance of civilization. The clean are conscious of superiority. Physical dirt endured too long encourages mental dirt. The morale of tho stnnchest patriot will break If he Is kept too long from his tub. A nation may be? judged by its per capita consumption of soap, and the dearth of soap played no small part In the breaking of the military machine &at was Germany. The hot bath that flourishes among us on Saturday nights and leaves the nation with that peaceful, pious feeling on Sunday mornings Is an Institution distinctly American, writes Robert Quillen in Saturday Evening Post. In no other portion of the known world do five score million humans set aside business and pleasure, loci: themselves In their homes, and indulge in this rite with soap and brush at the close of the week's activities. In these days it sometimes seems as if all the world was motoring. This condition has brought Into theranks of uutomoblle users a great number of people who have had no previous experience In the care of vehicles upon the highways. They have not had, for example, the training In driving horses which lias proved of assistance to many a man when he has first undertaken to guide a motor car. These new drivers constitute a serious problem In themselves. Arbitrary action taken against them as a class would be unfair and would defeat Its purpose, says Hosten Transcript How. to educate those among them capable of becoming .skillful drivers and how to eliminate the unfit are questions which will rail for careful consideration. It Is re-freshing to read that all bet one partner in a certain Philadelphia concern refused to profiteer In sugar. The one partner has been called to account by the United States government, and, consequently. Is getting a large proportion of the newspaper Publicity. This fact Is an Ironical commentary on things as they seem to be, says Christian Science Monitor. Unquestionably there are thousands of honest men who are content with a fair profit and who see business in the llu'ht of service rather than as an opportunity for exacting "all the traffic will bear." Still, that great majority too o"ten receives scant mention, while those mixed up In anything undesirable get "preferred positions" on the front pages. When paleolithic man scurried back to ids cozy cavern and laughed defiance at the saber toothed tiger that had leaped for him and missed, he was acqulrlug agility that proves Invaluable to Ids descendants of today who have to step lively across boulevards Infested with speeding motor cars. "Put the loafers to work," exclaims tho Atlanta Journal. Nothing doing. The energy that might be expended in that- hopeless undertaking could accomplish much in productive industry. The loafer Is a loafer and a good-for-uothlng scamp at every stage of the game. The naval governor of Guam, who prohibited whistling under penalty of a fine, has been relieved, but It Is stated the whistling order had no bearing on this action. If it had not. It ought to have had, as such orders border on arbitrary government. It Is claimed for monkey glands that they correct criminal tendencies In the young and restore youth to the aged. Looking at monkeys In the casual way, one would never think their glands held such beneficent and beautiful possibilities. . The Krupps have applied for English patents on a number of new military devices. The program of reconstruction has to some extent wandered away from its original objective.

BAGS

Dress Accessories That Are Important to Women. Large and Puffy Hand Warmers of Baby Lamb Arc In Vogue This Season. One of the best poses that a Parisian womair takes Is with her muff In hand, and to suit each Individuality muffs are in various styles. Resides the classical muff of tine fur, which does not change a great deal with the seasons, there are, this season, notes a Paris fa.sh.ion writer, the. rather large and puffy muffs of "mongolle" or baby lamb. These are the two new furs, and of course they would have to be made Tip Into muffs or there would be po point to their popularity. These muffs of the newer furs are built on very supple foundations, lined with gathered lengths of chiffon, which add to their luxuriousness and loveliness. At Jenny's a big muff, matching the coat that It is designed to accompany, Is made of strips of "mongolie," swollen in the middle and tapering off to thinner ends. At tho same house there Is another muff made of this same fur, but as a variation it has strung across Its broader section a strip of brihf golden braid, with Jet fringes that cover one another. At Madeleine et Madeleine's muffs are quite small and are trimmed with shaped flounces at each end. At Lanvin's they break the ihonotony by being long and cylindrical In shape. In handbags one finds rauch more variation than one does among the muffs, the shapes of which are more or less established In character. Antelope Is the skin that Is most used for making pocketbooks and handbags. They have mountings and handles of tortoise shell that are lovely to see and so delicately wrought that they are works of art In themselves, even if they had no duty to perform In the world. Rags of antique headwork are carried only with afternoon gowns and by those who have much money to spend on acquiring them. Rut for those of more slender pocketbooks but the same amount of taste there are lovely copies of these older bead weavings and newer ones designed after workedout patterns. Rags of brilliant bits of silk and bags that are made of collections of little silk llowers are very charmingly done in Paris, though these are not carried by the really smartly dressed women, who wish to retain any reputation for being connoisseurs In their own particular art of dressing in unquestionable taste. WOOL EMBROIDERY IS USED r,Jm y. ' V a. r r j -.a v . - v a i " - ? v . This charming overblouse of invincible' crepe with wool embroidery has the long sleeves typical of the fall styles in blouses. DAME FASHION SAYS That many of the snjartest new suits have extremely long coats. That Furls shows a decided liking for simple suits of homespun cheviot.. That crepe de chine is smarter than ever. Crepe de chine göwns are trimmed with Jet heads and delicately touched with embroideries in wool. That chiffons and georgette crepes are no longer beaded and embroidered, but depend upon fragile laces for the small amount of trimming which they receive. That medieval Italy has a hand in the mode. Its Inlluence Is felt in the low waistlines which appear on many frocks and In the long, tight sleeves with turn-back cuffs. That there Is no trace left of the white embroidery upon dark fabrics which was so popular during the past season. There is virtually every other conceivable combination of colors, however. That a prominent designer has made a new dinner gown of black Charmeuse which depends only upon its cut for the trimming. A ietaled skirt Is topped by a sleeveless blouse. The effect of sleevelessnes's Is counteracted by a modest little round neck. That the peasant has a decided influence on the mode. Fspecially is this seen in the vogue for elaborate embroideries. The peasant embroideries from Ilnuiuanla, Foland, Greece, Czecho-SIovakia, Syria and Arabia quite outdistance the more aristocratic embroideries from China and Persia.

MAY MAKE YOUR OWN SCARF Accessory Is Worn Now as It Has Not Been for Many Seasons Past We have gone back to the day of tho scarf. At least, we ar-i living in a day of scarfs, call It going backward or forward, as you like. The scarf Is worn now as it has not been for many seasons. It Is quite possible to make many of the lovely scarfs yourself. To begin with, there are serviceable scarfs of tricotine. This fabric comes woven in tubular fashion, and one buys a yard and a half or two yards of it, according to the desired length of the scarf, turns under the ends, tucking fringe of a matching color in them and fastening them together, or else fastening the raw edges under and then tying the ends of the scarf with home-made fringe, made with heavy silk floss matching the color of the scarf. Then then? are scarfs of georgette crepe, embroidered with heads or spangles. You can stamp these scarfs yourself with a suitable design, and ten sew the beads or spangles In place without too much trouble, and. If you work carefully, with surely good results. The tied and dyed scarf is another home-made possibility. To make this, perhaps the best material Is a tan-

! colored fabric, either crepe de chine or J pongee. The Idea is to dye the ends of the scarf another color. The desijyrn remains tbe color of the foundation scarftan, we'll say. To get the design, one ties the scarf about with cotton cloths, and the part under the cotton cloths does not dye. Then' one diis the whole end into the dye, not leaving it very long, and not, of course, boiling it You see, if you crumple the scarf together and tie two rags around the end, two inches apart, and then dip it. you will have two parallel stripes, with irregular edges. You can get a most interesting circle effect by pulling up a bit of the scarf and tying a rag around it a couple of inches down. Of course, you must tie all the places at once. NEW FURS ARE IN LIMELIGHT New York Women Do Not Store Neckwarmers Take Them Home for Immediate Wear. Fur sales are still waxing hot in New York, and instead of furs lielug placed in storage they are taken home for Immediate wear. . Although the full length wraps and dolmans of Hudson seal, squirrel or kolinsky are not much In evidence, some touch of fur is seen upon almost every garment. Short little coatees or capes in seal, squirrel or fitch are worn extensively over suits and street wool dresses and the popular little choker of last fall's running is bad; in lull force. Fitch, mole, s'tiu Irrel or stone marten seems the favored fur for these tiny neck chokers. Heads and tails are used, und sometimes a ho of airy tulle or malines. The chokers are worn fastened in tlu back or sidefrontr The higher priced fabric coals are so lavishly trimmed with furs that they ollen resemble a fur rout trimmed wlh cloth. Deep bands of beaver, nutria, mole, skunk or squirrel finish the skirt of the coat, form deep cull's, and the iioschigh choker collar, which, when unfastened drapes about the .shoulders as a shawl collar. Suits use the narrow bandings a bit more, although collars of solid fur are also very good. Fur seoius to harmonize with the jjoods rather than contrast.

By EDGAR A. GUEST For courage that we porely need. For strength to do tho splendid deed. For youth, uho made the sacrifice And, smiling, paid the bitter rric That freedom asks of sturdy men, Oh God, accept our thanks again. i To thee on more today we kneel; Sad music of the crash of steel Accompanies our prayer?, and yet Thy mercies everywhere are met. And we are grateful for the youth That boldly dared to guard the truth. Oh God, who gave us sight to ?oe The way to serve, we pray to the; "We thank thee for all mothers fair "Who gave their sons into thy care And bravely hid their grief and pain That liberty and truth should reign. We thank thee for each noble heart That scorned to play the coward part: We thank tbee for the humblest lad That In the.e bitter times Is glad To toll untli war's flags are furled To make a kindlier, better world. For yield of e and fruit and vine Once more ou gratitude Is thine; I5ut in these dars of dangers, we Now offer prayers of thanks to theo i For all the brave and loyal breasts Wherein tho love of honor rests. Oh God. we thank thee for our youth That still hold dear the ways of truth; We thank thee for their courage, and Devotion to our native land: We're thankful that our flap still gleams The emblem of man's highest dreams. From Tho American Boy. NOT COMPLETE WITHOUT PIE Time Was When No Thanksgiving Dinner Was Worthy of the Name in Its Absence. Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie was held to be unthinkable. Yet there could be no pumpkin pie without molasses; because Colchester, Connecticut, did not receive its supply of molasses in season, It voted, In 1705, to put oft Its Thanksgiving from the first to the second Thursday of November! Pumpkin pies thus featured were usually baked in square tins, having only four corner pieces to each pie. Second only to the pumpkin pie In Importance at such a Thanksgiving feast as Whlttier sings was the turkey which had been fattened for tho The Indispentable Pie. occasion and which, when slowly roasting before the open Uro and painstak ingly basted from tho dripping pan be neath, was lit to bo the lord of any feast. Chicken there was, too, though always In tho form of chicken pie, and vegetables of every sort, with ralsIns and citron, walnuts and popcorn, , apples nnd cider galore. Surely few could have really wished Joys such as these to be sacrificed to i a second ncrvlce In the meeting house I Golden Promise of the Future. We are thankful for the assurance that out of all the tumult and madness of the past years the world of mankind Is to find a life richer, truer, grander, than any It has heretofore known, a life of truer freedom, of sweeter tolerance and of a broader goodwill and brotherhood. And we are thankful for the thought, amounting almost to a settled conviction, that as a consequence of the great awakening which has come to it with all its blood and tears and suffering, the world will from now on have forever done with every form of organized hypocrisy and oppression, will love the truth and nothing but tho truth, and will deal Justly, and love mercy. "Certain grades of coal advance," the uncertain grades already having been high enough, no doubt. While the war is over, profiteer have yet to make peace with their conscience and with tho public Pirates robbed two American women on a French ship, proving tliat you can't escapo them on land or sex The man with a garden can afford to be somewhat Indifferent to-the perplexing problem of moving the crops.
