HALF-MILLION MA15K. The halt-million mark has been passed at the Panama-California International Kxpition. In view of the fact that the early months are considered low from an attendance standpoint along the coast, the showing is highly gratifying to Exposition heads. President CS. A. Davidson points to the fact that the attendance is greater than for the same period last year, and is firm in the belief that July, August and September will bring the biggest months enjoyed by the Exposition. It is a wise State that knows its own favorite son.

Political editor's announcement that Germany will give back P.elgitim after the war is one Teuton statement the world can cordially endorse. We fear the Colonel is not the master politician he used to be. He made a long speech in Detroit and didn't say a word in praise of Tyrus Cobb. However, one comforting thought is that our sport sheet per capita this summer doesn't appear to be anywhere nearly as large a3 it was last.

the year. They have shown that the thing is worth doing and do-able, and in a dignified manner, untarnished by the big dollar mark. The majority of the counties have the dates set for their celebrations and plans pretty well outlined. Those which have already celebrated have done more than merely set a good pace. They have demonstrated that the movement is to be really state - wide and that a county which goes by default in this memorable year will achieve a lonely and unenviable reputation. Furthermore, it has been pretty well demonstrated that the thing can be done in any county under the right kind of leadership. Union county is going to have a great celebration that is, if everybody comes through as is expected. It is something that everyone can have some part in and everyone must contribute something to its success. Your mere presence will help. This is the greatest little county and the greatest little city in the State. If you don't believe it, come and see on the 15th day of June, 1916. There will be a mighty warm welcome for old friends.

SPECIAL EDITION. The Centennial edition of the Liberty

Express will be issued next week. It

will be a special number, a big number,

and will not only contain a history of

Indiana for the past hundred years in

regard to various phases of our life, but

it will be a souvenir edition of our Cen-1

tennial Day, and will be full of news of interest in regard to the county. It will be illustrated and presented in such form that you will want a copy and want to keep a copy. It is time to order it now.

CATTLEMEN INVITED.

South Eastern Indiana Cattle Feeders' Meeting at Greensburg.

What the human rate needs is a capable chaperoue. Ilegardless of peace rumors, inquiries for shell steel continue. Otherwise, Col. Hoosevtlt thinks that Henry Ford is a line fellow. Wisconsin is to have a stadium. Thus the glory that was Greece continues to spread. In the meantime Portugal conducts its correspondence school war on humane principles. Now is the time for the frugal man to give last year's straw hat the classic once over.

A man isn't wholly bad if his dog has confidence in him.

Most of the stupendous lies from the Mexicon border ore concocted for the same purpose as the bandit raids for bringing about war. Xew York's claims to individuality appear reasonable in view of the fact that the bolder of a $12.0)0 sinecure in the city government insists on working and returning full value for his salary. Let us carefully distinguish between the dangers incident to a spirit of militarism and the security and better man

hood that would come from universal

military training and preparedness to defend the country.

Justice Unfiles has done everything to

stop his boom except the things that would stop it. Humors that peace negotiations are under way are not loud enough to drown the echoes from the artillery at Verdun. According to political experts on both sides, next month the landslide begins. Trouble about a concert with Carrana is that we are expected to make all the overtures.

Der I'm police searching butchers' homes should not overlook Count Zeppelin's residence.

(Quickest way to overawe old Carranza would be to threaten to send a regiment of barbers after him.

And now bration.

comes the Centennial cele-

The farmers say that the recent rains have just about drowned them out. If you have done nothing toward the Centennial celebration which is to be held here next Thursday, its about time you were making prepartions to get busy. With a bountiful strawberry harvest at hand, it makes life worth living. While you are planning for your vacation, don't forget to have the Express sent to you. so that you will be able to keep in close touch with what is going on at home. P.e sure to decorate your residence and place of business next Thursday, June I.'ith, in honor of the Union County celebration of the Indiana Centennial.

SETT I NO THE PACE. The people of Indiana have already shown in this Centennial year that they are alive to patriotism and good citizenfchip. The movement for state-wide ob-

AFTER THE WAR. Whatever one may think as to the conditions that are likely to exist after the war, there can be no question as to the necessity of making provision, as far as this can be done, against all possible contingencies. There is, of course, the w idest di (Terence of opinion on the subject. Some think that wages will be very low

abroad, and that as a result we shall have to meet the fiercest competition ever

known. Others, including the London

Spectator, are convinced that wages will

I be higher in Europe than ever before,

and that the nations of the Old World will have to come to the American wage standard. It is precisely so with the sup

ply of labor in this country. It is argued that we shall be swamped by a flood of immigrants, and of the most undesirable character. On the other hand, we are assured that foreign nations will have to

import American labor, and that it has already been arranged to send 500,000 men abroad to help in the work of rebuilding Europe. Eminent authorities can be cited on both sides of these propositions. Faced' by such uncertainty we can not, as wise men, fail to make reasonable provision. There is a bill now pending in Congress that covers certain features of the situation very satisfactorily. It would create a tariff commission substantially like that favored by the tariff commission league, and also would prevent dumping, and such unfair cutting of prices as is now forbidden in domestic trade. And further, it is proposed to safeguard our newly created dye industry against any attempts from abroad to destroy it. The bill will be presented as a nonpartisan measure, and it is hoped and believed that it will receive support rfom all parties. Hut it would be a great mistake to think that our industrial future can be absolutely assured by anything that government can do. This was pointed out very clearly a few days ago by the New York Journal of Commerce. "The world," says the New York paper, "has not out

grown the conviction that it is enlight

ened statesmanship to 'protect' one community against the superior aptitude of

higher productive capacity of another,

but the world has grown sufficiently interdependent to make such protection of comparatively little practical account." It might even be said that it is of no ac

count, taken by itself. The Journal of

Commerce further says: The people who expect to revolution

ize economic conditions in Europe after the war forget that German rivalry in foreign markets has been that of a highly educated nation which had systematical

ly trained itself for the work in hand The derma ri people brought to the pur

suits of trade and industry the same

habits of method, thoroughness, concen

tration and seriousness which distinguish them in other departments of life. Much of the German success in industry is fur

ther attributable to the fact that excel

lent systems of primary and secondary

education are supplemented by provision

for technical instruction and special

scientific study and research. The Ger

man chemical industry is the product of

the application to it of strictly scientific

methods. It may be admitted that a sys tern of protective duties has been regard

ed ns essential to German industrial suc

cess. Hut even the Prussian minister of commerce, at the end of a journey of

inspection through industrial Rhineland,

two years before the war, , was constrained to admit that while he found Sn

that community a general desire that the

import duties on competitive articles

should be kept as high as possible, it was his experience that the efficiency of the men at the head and capacity to

take advantage of the latest scientific and technical discoveries help industry

forward and assure its existence more

than anything else. If it were simply a question of protec

tion we should have nothing to fear,

A Cattle Feeders' Meeting will be held on the farm of W. E. Jackson, near Greensburg, Decatur county, Ind., on Saturday, June 10, at 2:00 p. m. Mr. Jackson has fed 150 head of Hereford calves with Purdue University and the Decatur during the past winter in co-operation county agricultural agent, Walter McCoy. Part of these cattle have been fed a ra

tion containing corn silage, while part of them have been fed a ration containing shock fodder and clover hay instead of

the silage, each in connection with corn

and cottonseed meal, consequently the

value of corn silage for fattening cattle

as compared with corn fodder and hay will be demonstrated. Daily record of all feeds consumed bv these cattle have

been kept and the cattle have been weighed each month throughout the feed-

in? period. In other words an absolute

record of this cattle feeding operation on Mr. Jackson's farm, as to the gains made by the cattle, cost of gain, etc., have

been kept and will be discussed at this

meeting. F. G.King and P. E. Thomp

son, of the Purdue Experiment Station, and other stockmen will be present to

talk on subjects relating to the cattle

feeding business. All interested cattle

feeders are invited to be present.

MARGUERITE CLARK.

In a Quaint Picturization of "Mice and Men," Union Theatre Saturday.

Marguerite Clark, the fascinating little star of the Famous Players Film

Company, who since her desertion of the stage has endowed the screen with a number of inimitable characterizations, most notable of which are her successful appearances in "Still Waters" and in the dual title roles of "The Prince and the Pauper," adds another screen achievement that surpasses all her previous triuinps in her delightful interpretation of the role of I'efjjfy in the photo-prodnction of the famous romantic comedy, "Mice and Men." This role, in which such popular actresses as Annie Russell and Lady Gertrude Forbes-Robertson distinguished themselves in New York and London, respectively, develops the impulses and whimsicalities of romantic youth, and it may therefore be readily seen that Miss Clark is eminently suited to this captivating impersonation. With the additional interest contributed by a stirring dramatic conflict, and with the beautiful delineation of life and love as they were known in the South of a bygone day, "Mice and Men" U one of the most exquisite Paramount pictures produced. It will be the ofTering at the Union, Saturday.

BOARD OF REVIEW.

The board of equalization is now in session at the court house. The board consist of the county auditor, Geo. W. Wray; county treasurer, W. N. McMahan, and county assessor, William Shanklin, and two members appointed by the judge of the court from the Democratic and Republican parties, G. W. Robertson and Nicholas Smelser.

Consider the Lamp! And the Cook Stove

No one ever thinks of using a lamp without a long glass chimney. A long chimney creates a draft, furnishes the (lame with enough air for perfect, clean combustion, and makes every drop of kerosene do all the work in its power. In the lamp that work is to furnish light.

In the oil cook stove that work is to furnish heat. Although a long chimney is absolutely necessary for clean, intense heat, oil stove manufacturers had been making their stoves to burn the same fuel as a lamp but making them without the long chimney

THE NEW PERFECTION with its Long Blue Chimney corrected this one big fault. Skeptics who tricil the New Perfection became enthusiastic. Today over two million women arc using New Perfections. 6,000,000 meals a day are cooked over out long blue chimneys. More than one home in ten has found the New Perfection way of escaping coalhod, ash-pan drudgery. The New Perfection means cool kitchens, no wood, no coal, no ashes, cinders or dirt. No fires to kindle. Lights and regulates like gason and olT up or down. The New Perfection cooks for six people at an average fuel cost of six cents a day. It can bake, roast, toast, do anything any stove can do. It is the successful oil stove, and the reason is the long blue chimney. Are you a skeptic? Your neighbor has a New Perfection ask her. GASOLINE STOVES If you care for a gasoline stove, we have a nice assortment of the Detroit Vapor Stoves. They work like gas. Summer is here and we invite you to sec our line of Refrigerators, Hammocks, Lawn Swings, Fireless Cookers and Porch Swings.
