Might Apply Here. “Some of the local auto drivers can’t seem to get over the idea that it is a smart thing to make as much noise with their machines as possibly and théy econtinually run with the muffler cut out., They should be made to have some regard for the general public, and the law.”—Sher- burne Star-News. Books Barred from Parcel Post. Hen. David J. Lewis, of Maryland, chairman of the House Committee on Labor, wants books admitted to the parcel post. The parcel post law, drafted by former Senator Jonathan Bourne, carefully excluded books from the list of articles mailable by parcel post. Consequently books still travel in the mail under the third class rate, with a four-pound weight limit. This throws the book carry- ing business to the express compan- ies. Fortunately, and largely due to the efforts of Mr. Lewis, the parcel post law contains a provision enab- ling the Postmaster General to change the conditions imposed by the law at will. He can issue an order with the consent of the Interstate Commerce Commission admitting books to the mails at parcel post rates. This Mr. Lewis wants him to do, and he has introduced in the House a resolution to that effect. —— How Wisconsin Does It. If New Hampshire had on her statute books a law such as has re- cently been ‘adopted by the state of Wisconsin, the advbcates of conser- vation would not be so much con- cerned about the suit of the New Hampshire attorney-general to re- serve to the state the water power in the streams in the district pro- posed to be added to the federal Ap- palachian Forest Reserve. The Wisconsin legislature proceed- ed under the theory that the power inherent in the fall of water belongs to the whole people and mot to those who happen to own -the banks of streams. The law provides that all riparian rights in streams shall ex- pire in 20 years after the issuance of franchises; and that the fran- chises themselves shall have a lite of not over 25 years. Moreover, any municipality near s water power plant, or the state itself, may pur- .chase the power plant at cost of con- struction less deterioration. Establislied Tnnocence. ‘Edmund Gould will be a free man as soon as the law can-make-him so. As an héonest employee, with charac- B " ‘ter’ free from blémish, he will have established himself in true light more firmly than ever before. The fact that-he- has been charged with crimé and held under suspicion for . a month was punishment for which . ... [thereshould be some Tetribution. The i --gStablishment of his innocence is In «#tself a retribution the value of Which - cannot be over-estimated. “Through it he has made new friends ~ and stronger ones of the old. Shortly before he received the news of his established innocence he received of- _ ficin} fidtice of his dfsmissal from ser- vice'from ‘Washington. That he " should be re-instated, and at once is the -opinfon of his friends and it is “the 'general bellef that such action <Al o ‘balken by’ the Ml!fiutho ties at Was] n‘m Gould are not rejoicing in the du_wn- fall of Clayton Collard, but in the established ° innocence. of Gould. Their sympathy is now turned to the young man who has confessed to the crime and would be only to glad to rejoice. with him could he also be found innocent. Collard is but a mere boy and could not resist the temptations placed before him. SEPTEMBER MORN. Burnadetté Barrett, Age Three, Wins at Asbury Park Pageant. Photo by Ameriean Press Association.

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 1.—Two men arrested on charges of dynamiting the postoffice safe at McKenzie, N. D., escaped -from jalls 100 miles apart at about the same hour.

ELI A machine said huve paid off the debts of the south, greatly increased its capital, and trebled the value of its land, was the invention of El Whitney. This machine was the cot- ton gin. And like many another in- ventor, Whitney was rewarded with ingratitude. He added hundreds of millions to the wealth of our coun- try and in return -had to endure humiliation and vexation of body and spirit. Eli Whitney was born in Westbor- ough, Massachusetts, on December 8, 1765. He early showed great mech- anical ability, and by the time he was twenty-three years old had earned enough money to enable him MDERMOTT MAKES DENIAL| to enter Yale. After graduating he. went to Savannah, Georgia, with th hope of becoming a teacher there. He | was disappointed in this, but' made the acquaintance of Mrs. Nathaniel Greene, the widow of the Revolution-, ary general, and pald a visit to her plantation, While he was there some gentle- men who were also visiting Mrs. Greene happened ‘one ‘day to' lament for cleaning the ‘staple cotton of its seed. This work had to be done by hand and was very slow. -Separating one pound of the clean staple from the eed was a'day’s work for a negro ‘woman. Suddenly Mrs. Greene turned them. - “Gentlemen,” she said,’“a] ply to my friend here, Mr. Whitney; he can make anything.” “And she showed -them several contrivances the young Northerner had made. ‘Whitney modestly said that he did Bemidji High School building THUMB TACKS 5c per doz.-10¢c per doz.
