If you own a nice home be it large or small, you can improve its appearance immensely by building not only the sidewalks, but the front steps, curbstone, well cover, cellar, fence posts, etc., of concrete. It is so much neater than wood and more sanitary. It never decays —is fire and rat proof —and can be easily kept clean. Concrete is the simplest building material and the most durable. It is readily made from clean sand and a few sacks of good Portland cement —preferably Universal because of its uniform quality and great strength. FOR SALE BY J. Tv PARLON

The Prohibition Party in National Convention at Atlantic City, N. J., July 10, 11 anil 12, 1912, recognizing God as the source of all governmental authority, makes the following declaration of principles and policies: 1. The alcoholic drink traffic is wrong; is the most serious drain on the wealth and resources of the nation; is detrimental to the general welfare and destructive of the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. All laws taxing or licensing a traffic which produces crime, poverty and political corruption, and spreads disease and death, should be repealed. To destroy such a traffic there must be elected to power a political party which will administer the government from the standpoint that the alcoholic drink traffic is a crime and not a business, and we pledge that the manufacture, importation, exportation, trane. portation and sale of alcoholic beverages shall be prohibited. We favor; 2. Suffrage for women on the same terms as for men. 3. A uniform marriage and divorce law. The extermination of polygamy. And the complete suppression of the traffic in girls. 4. Absolute protection of the rights of labor, without impairment of the rights of capital. 5. The settlement of all international disputes by arbitration. 6. The abolition of child labor in mines, workshops and factories', with the rigid enforcement of the laws now flagrantly violated. 7. The election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people. 8. A Presidential term of six years, and one term only. 9. Court review of Postoffice and other departmental decisions and orders; the extension of the Postal Savings Bank system, and of Rural Delivery, and the establishment of an efficient parcels post. 10. The initiative, referendum and recall. 11. As the tariff is a commercial question it should be fixed on the scientific basis of accurate knowledge, secured by means of a permanent, omni-partisan tariff commission, with ample powers. 12. Equitable graduated income and inheritance taxes. 13. Conservation of our forest and mineral reserves, and the reclamation of waste lands. All mineral and timber lands, and water powers, now owned by the government, should be held perpetually, and leased for revenue purposes. 14. Clearly defined laws for the regulation and control of corporations transacting an inter-State business. 15. Efficiency and economy in governmental administration. 16. The protection of one day in seven as a day of rest. To these fundamental principles, the National Prohibition Party renews its long allegiance, and on these issues, invites the co-operation of all good citizens, to the end that the true object of government may be attained,namely, equal and exact justice for all.

Under nnthorily conferred by the iiostofficc appropriation bill, Postmaster General Hitchcock Monday increased the salaries of rural letter carriers on standard routes from $1,000 to §1,100 a year, thus affecting 30,000 men, with proportionate increases to carriers on shorter routes. The order witl become effective September 30 This will mean an increased disbursement of §1,000,000 a year. It is the second salary advance for rural carriers in the last four years. The increase provides rural carriers adequate compensation for additional burdens to be imposed by the parcels post system, effective January 1. “The parcels post system on rural mail routes can be conducted practically with no extra expense to the government except the increased salary allowance to carriers,” said Mr. Hitchcock. “In my judgment this additional cost will be more than offset by an increased revenue, thus insuring the maintenance.”

Whether or not it is the right thing to do to thresh all day {Sunday should not be decided one man for his neighbor; but it is a question for each man to work out for himself with his Maker; just ns it finds every man a free moral agent to live out bis life as be chooses. But, if the man who sees no harm in threshing on Sunday proceeds to do so and wants no interference, he should grant the same courtesy to his neighbor who feels he is not do ing right to follow such vocations on Sunday.

HIS CAMPAIGN FUND.

Bull moose heads have gone up in price. The word has been passed among the taxidermists that ihere will bs an unprecedented demand for mounted heads. In fact there are but few heads in the market at any price. People who shoot bull moose generally have the trophy mounted for themselves or sell the head to someone who has it mounted. The taxidermists pick up-a few, but not many. The Bangor fire of Inst year burned the finest collection of game heads in Maine held for sale, and it is doubtful if a dozen moose heads could be picked up at any price. Of course the expected demand is for campaign purposes or advertising. One dealer, who has nu exceptionally fine head, says that it will take $200 and not a cent less to buy it, and he isn’t so sure that he wants to sell it at any price.

Ohio women Tuesday lost their fight to have equal suffrage incorporated in the constitution of the state. Although less than half of the returns in the election on forty-two proposed amendments to the constitution had been returned by midnight Tuesday night the majority rolled up against suffrage was so great that it was plain the final result could not be changed. Indications were that all of the other amendments with the possible exception of a £>50,000,000 bond issue for g>cd roads had been carried. The cities of the state uniform ly voted in favor of all amendments but suffrage. The farm mg communities voted against the amendments as a whole, but there was considered little likelihood that they could offset the big urban majority.

McNeil Family Reunion.

“Total, 25 cents.” —Collier’s Weekly.

The brothers and sisters of the McNeil family and their children met in a family reunion at the home of a sister, Mrs. James Perrigo, in Boswell, on Sunday, September 1st. There were thirty or more of the family present and included C. H. McNeil (brother) of Chicago, Mrs. Clara Fuller (sister) and nephew Oricc of Balaton, Minn., Orpheus A. McNeil (brother) and family of Kenosha, Wis., Mrs. Anna Gray (sister) and family of Kenosha, Wis., Milton McNeil (brother) and two daughters of Mayfield, Kansas, John L. McNeil (brother) of New Richmond, Rev. and Mrs. Erwin (niece) and family of Westfield, III., Mrs. Ed Marvin (niece) and son of Veedersburg, Revs. Ernest Perrigo and wife (niece) of Greenville, 111. Two brothers were not present. This reunion is not an annual occasion, that being an almost impossibility because of the widely scattered family, but is observed every five years. On Monday morning automobiles were provided and the party went to the grave of the mother, 4 miles south of Boswell, theuce to the old home near Dunnington The reunion was a happy one and one long to be remembered. It was quite remarkable that so large a reunion could be had of so widely a scattered family.

Family reunion* are a source of much genuine pleasure. They are the means of bringing relatives together once a year who would probably not see each other in ninny years otherwise. Then, too, they are all in a happy frame of mind, which adds much to the pleasure of these meetings. The different families elect officers from year to year to plan for the reunions and send out notices and some write histories of their families, as nearly complete as possible which are read at the annual gatherings, and are kept by the officers elected from year to year. This year many families held their first reunion, but are organizing for next year.

WHO WON 1

A story of the parade of woman suffragists is being told around the various headquarters of the “votes for women” clan. One of the editors of a Xew York morning paper which is decidedly “anti,” has a young wife who is very much “pro.” She announced that she intended to parade. He vetoed the proposition absolutely, and averred that if Mrs. Editor dared to march he would forcibly remove her from the ranks. Determined to show her sympathy with “the cause,” but not wanting to disregard her husband’s wishes, she dressed in proper suffragist colors and badges and paraded —along the sidewalks from the start to the finish of the procession. Who won?— Xew York Tribune.

Our farmer friends most likely doubt the consistency of being railed at fur the attempt to save their fast spoiling crop by threshing on Sunday, and then to be invited by flaming red posters in boxcar letters to attend a political meeting on the following Sunday. It is the Christian duty, and every one of the political parties which has a part in the making of American history lays the same claim as any other party to that righteous and bounden euty, that ever} political party should stand for everything and anything for the welfare of American citizenship. But no political organization, during the heated campaign, has any greater moral right or lease for the use of the Sabbath day for the battles for votes than another, nor has any political organization any more right to use a public building than have the forces advocating the principles of a contesting nominee.

Sam L. Bayliss is expected in off the roay the end of the week, having closed the summer season with his show company.

Among the souvenirs of a trip around the world brought back by a woman whose tour came to an end in Chicago a few days ago is an American flag which the tourist purchased in India. “I saw it,” she said, “in a vender’s stock and bought it to show that our flag is not the same everywhere.” The souvenir is silk and hand made. It has eight red and seven white stripes and on the blue field are thirteen stars and the American shield. “The strangest point about the thing is this,” the woman added, when she showed the flag, “the man from whom I bought the flag insisted that it was correct in composition and that the little one which I carried in an envelope in my haulbag was the flag as it used to be before the civil war,”
