OBITUARY. Mr. J. M. Martin, an old and respected citizen of Metropolis, died Monday night after a long and lingering illness, at his home on 7th street. Mr. Martin was well known by the older residents of the city having come here soon after the war. He was an old soldier and took a delight in telling the youngster of the thrilling war times. He was peculiar in many respects but had convictions of his own and would stand by them until convinced that he was wrong. He was formerly a member of the First Baptist church of this city but of late years never attended any church. The funeral was at the above named church Wednesday afternoon attended by Revs. G. W. Rowlett. The remains were then placed in the Kidd Cemetery. He leaves besides a widow, two sons and three daughters. Peace to his ashes. OSRO SHIRK. FOR SHERIFF. Osro Shirk, has announced for sheriff of Massac County, subject to the Republican Primary to be held on the 9th day of September 1914. Too much can not be said for Mr. Shirk, as far as his qualifications for sheriff is concerned. He as an officer, is absolutely fearless and tireless in his work. He is a strurdy honest man, a UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 21 JUL 1914 product of Massac County, a poo- man as far as gold and silver goes, but such as has towit; good service, proper enforcement of the law and equal rights to all, he offers to the voters and is ask- ing them for their support upon that ground. Osro Shirk, is a strong man both morally and physically and physically and has no enemies, because of his good nature and disposition to treat every one right. He, like that glorious general, U. S. Grant, is a man of few words, but is active when it comes to do- ing things, and he is going to win in this fight, "If it takes all summer." in politics he is a Republican and always has been, because he thinks that the Republican party is the party that best serves the interest of all the people. When the people nominate him for sheriff they can rest assured that they are supporting a man who is willing and able to do his duty. As Republican voters at the primary we should give him a fair consideration. Found A watch and a coat. The owner can have the same by giving description of same and paying a reward. For further information call at Gazette office. The sad news have reached this office of, the entire distruction of the dwelling and household goods of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Flowers, of Brookport, last week. We hope they had the property fully insured and will be able to rebuild a better residence. Let the churches and friends assist him because he is a worthy citizen and this loss comes to him at a time when his wife is under the care of a physician. Geo. C. Schneeman. For County Clerk WILLIAM H. In this issue of the Gazette will be found the announcement of Geo. C. Schneeman, as a candidate for re-nomination to the office of County Clerk on the Republican ticket, September 9th 1914. Mr. Schneeman has filled the office in a manner that has brought credit to him: self and satisfaction to his friends, and even his enemies have naught but the highest praise for him for the efficient manner of conducting the business of the office. We have it from good authority who are competent to judge that he has made one of the best clerks the county has ever had. We have had much dealing with Mr. Schneeman officially and personally and have found him to be every inch a gentleman, just and honest in every detail. He is big hearted, and public spirited and to know him is to love him. He carried into that office high business methods which has put this county fine shape when looking up the records. He is a good republican and has helped in fighting its many battles from Benj Harrison down to the present He is clean, sober and possesses cool and deliberate judgment and every one receives the same cordial treatment. He is well qualified for the office and is running on his past record. He believes in the survival of the fittest. The voters certainly would make no mistake in re-electing him to succeed himself as he has made a faithful servant. Special Notice. Rev. J. M. Blake, president of the Ministers and Deacon's Institute is confined to his home with a complication of diseases and has been for some time. He is need of financial assistance from the ministers and the churches of the district Let each church and pastor take a special collection at once, and each minister and deacon give something for his assistance. The church and ministers of Metropolis are assisting him in a small measure. Dont pass this by as an idle tale or dream. If you shut up your bowels of compassion, then there is no religion dwelling in you. What you do, do quickly send direct to Rev. J. M. Blake, and amount given to the Gazette for publication. J. B.

Supt. of Schools In the regular announcement column of the Gazette will be found the announcement of Lu- ther L. Evers, as a candidate for County Superintendent of Schools of Massac County on the Republican ticket before the Primary, Sept. 9th 1914 Mr. Evers is a young man morally and intellectually strong, and well qualified for the office. He has worked hard all of his life having been left when but a small boy to look after and support a widowed mother, beside supporting himself and at the same time trying to educate himself. With that indomitable will power which has been his chief stock in trade he finally finished the country school and then graduated from the High School. He worked as a janitor in a store at Md. City, cleared away snow and performed chores in order to secure the money to attend the Southern Illinois Normal University at Carbondale. He has given much of his time since finishing to teaching and in preparing himself for the office of Supt, of Schools. He is a successful teacher and is asking for the position because of his qualification for the office and he assures the voters if he is elected that he will give his undivided attention to said office. We ask that you consider his claims when going to the polls to cast your vote. Education of the Mr President, Ladies and Gentlemen of this great convention: To my surprise, I have been requested to fill a place on your "Program."—I am not a great writer, and therefore, you must not expect expect too much of me. But feeling the responsibility of the female sex, I will say something in defence of their education. The subject which I have chosen is the "Value of Feminine Education." As I know of no better thing for the salvation of our race, save the religion of our Lord Jesus Christ. It has been said that a nation, or individual can rise higher than its females; since this true, educate them that they may discharge their whole duty, and our race may continue its march of progress along the side of other races, and write its name high in the ladder of fame. It is true that the essential attributes of a woman is modesty, refinement and intelligence; and in order to develop these, she must be educated. Wherever woman has had good opportunity for self improvement, she has shown herself equal in many respects to those who are known as the stroger sex; many of the brightest and best scholars found in our common schools, academies and colleges are women. When you consider that the education of women is the training, instructive and formation of manner; for developing the mental powers of our race, then you are forced to exclaim that the girls must be educated, or ignored will widely reign as long as ages roll. Many believe she has no business capacities, that this is not true; for in almost every avenue of business, women are rapidly becoming engaged. This however, shows that they too pos- sess the ability to master all things that the other sex can; and where she does not, it is due to prejudice rather than incompetence. Let every one teach the Negro youth to know that the elevation of its race can come only through its women. It is she, who nourishes the desolate home; and through her generosity, that the perplexed pastor receives assistance. In conclusion allow me to say, dear Ladies, with us it does not yet appear what we shall be. but we know that greater will be our responsibility to all we can; religiously and educationally, then we shall be like Him when He comes. So slowly with a steady tread and fixed aim, we perceived by a long train of years; we will if we faint not, reach the goal and win the prize. It is true that we are weak and have many obstacles to overcome, but these are stepping-stones to nobler things. Let us remember our minds are given us, but through study we are educated. Then we will hear the voice of our brethren crying, sisters will you join and help us; to lift up our struggling race, as Moses's sisters helped him? Read before the Mt. Olive Baptist S. S. Convention, Cairo, Ill., June 1914. MRS. NELLIE STARKS. Illinois Central Railroad Co. Receives Instructions From Public Utilities Commission. Complaint Made From Murphysboro-That Illinois Central is Discriminating in Passenger Traffic. Springfield, Ill., July 13. Jinn Crow" cars for negroes will not be permitted on railroads operated in Illinois. This is made plain in a letter addresse to officials of the Illinois Central today by Chairman Quan of the state public utilities Commission. The charge that the Illinois Central is refusing to permit negroes to ride in the same cars with white passengers was made in a letter to Governor Dunne from J. D. Alston, editor of the Christian Anchor, published at Murphysboro. He claims in the letter that on cars on Illinois Central trains between Carbondale and Cairo there are signs reading: "This car for white passengers only." He declared that unfairness to the colored people of the state, the railroad should be made to obey the law against discrimination. Alston said he asked the conductor if he did not know that discrimination between passengers because of race or color is a violation of the law. The conductor told him, he says, that under the the "interstate 'Jim Crow' law" the road had a right to separate passengers. The governor was greatly astonished at the charge and immediately referred the letter to Chairman Quan, with directions to make a full investigation. Marion Dally Republican The above as set forth by Prof. J. D Alston, may not be true, but we believe statement from the fact that train No. 375 running from Carbondale to Paducah, Ky., on the Illinois Central had a sign displayed in their compartment car Sunday July 11, which read "This compartment for colored passengers." And the brakeman came into the car in which white and colored were riding including myself, while the train was under way and asked the colored passengers where they enroute to, and when informed that two held tickets for Tennessee, they were hustled out by the brakey into the compartment reading for "Colored Passengers." Then came to us the second time to know if we were to get off at Brookport. This was in Illinois and too, soon after leaving Metropolis. If this is not what you call "Jim Crowism," what is it? We had to call the Ware House and Railroad Commission's attention to the fact of intimidating colored passengers between Carbondale and Brookport, with the signs mentioned during Governor Deneen's first term and the officials of the I. C. Railroad informed their employees to turn those signs when entering into Illinois and if we were annoyed again over the matter to notify them, and they would assure us, i. e. the committee of colored men, that they would see that the ones violating said orders would not do so the second time. It is not our nature to 'Kick' but we not want to be discriminated against or intimidated by the display of these signs hung up in these cars while in Illinois and hustled out into jim crow cars between stations in violation of the state law. The Illinois will find herself up against a law suit for damages unless their is a change in the treatment of the colored passengers in end of the state by some of the in their employ. All that Chairman Quan, will have to do, is to make a trip through this part of the state and unless they have made a change since July 11th 1914—J. B. Mc Crary. NOTICE To the pastors and the churches composing the East Mt. Olive Baptist Association, Southern Illinois: As president of the Institute of the above association, I wish to cast your attention to the annual meeting which convenes at Dewmaine. Now dear Pastor, remember your pledges as to the 25c membership fee in the Institute, and bring up a good list of names from your churches and the 25c, and too, we are looking for and expecting the $5.00 for the Sinking Fund Department which is to aid the poor churches in our district. Brethern, if this department is a failure it is not on the president, it is on pastors, of the district as I, am not a pastor I am limited in leadership. The Bible teaches "Like Priest Like People." So you see just who is responsible for the success of the work. Come to Dewmaine with the intention of doing something for the Inststute. J. H. Flowers, President.

In this much benonumented land it is rather curious that no monument has yet been set up anywhere to commemorate the loyalty of the slaves that remained on the plantations during the Civil war. Of course commemoration of that sort belong to the old slave states, but citizens of the North can regard the matter with interest, if not with the same vital and personal interest that citizens of the South, may feel. Both during the war and in the half century since its termination Confederates have been warm in their expression of esteem for the faithful slaves that stayed at home while their masters went to the army, guarding faithfully the women and children whom the white men of the South had to leave at home when the call to arms came. Now the omission will probably be rectified since at the recent reunion of Confederate veterans at Jacksonville a motion was adopted recommending that such a monument be erected in the capital city of each of the former slave states. A little reflection serves to show one how richly the commemoration is deserved. Singularly beautiful and touching was the loyalty of those black people to the families of their masters. The fact that the white men dared leave their wives and children to the protection of the black men who were their slaves is in itself a tribute of which the American negro can always be proud and now monuments in the capital cities of the South will permanently recall to mind a reliance that was not misplaced. A hematite ore discovered on the Kleena river has been acquired by a Vancouver company. It is stated that a large body of ore has been removed by a glacier and deposited over an area one mile square. The travelers who boast about the number of times they have crossed the Atlantic should hearken to the story of Donald McCave, a greaser on the steamship Oceanic. He has made 380 voyages to America and back. It is estimated that he has traveled 2,400,000 miles on the Atlantic ocean. He made 250 trips on one vessel, the Tentonic. Because the vitiated air is bad for the workingman, the German government has forbidden the drying of plaster in new buildings by the use of open stoves. The stoves must now be connected by pipe with the outside. The average nominal rate of wages to adults is $16 a week in West Australia, as compared with $13.50 a week in Tasmania, the two states of Australia where the highest and the lowest wages, respectively, are paid. A process of hardening steel with compressed air is said to be in successful use by a German firm in cases where only certain parts of the metal require hardening. Official figures recently completed show that the metallic zinc production of the United States last year exceeded all former records. English paint manufacturers have found oil made from seeds of Brazilian rubber trees as an acceptable substitute for linseed oil. The verdict of a jury in a criminal ease in Arkansas has been set aside because the jury consumed nine quarts of whisky in reaching a conclusion. In justice to Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, who recently delivered an address on the negro problem in our city, I desire to reply to a letter of A. S. Edmonds in the "Public Mind" column of the Times of the twenty-second, writes H. O. Cook in a communication to the Kansas City Star. Mr. Edmonds, in comparing the views of Mr. Villard and Mr. Booker T. Washington in his Atlanta address, sees a wide difference in the opinions of these two men, and concludes that "certainly Mr. Washington knows, if anyone does, the best means of solving this problem." If Mr. Edmonds would talk with Mr. Washington today he would find that he (Mr. Washington) has made a long jump since that Atlanta address. Moreover, Mr. Edmonds, as a great many others, has the impression that the men who believe and are working with Mr. Villard are opponents of Mr. Washington's policy. These men, on the contrary, thoroughly believe in the policy of industrial education and the accumulation of property for the negro, but do not believe that these alone will secure all those rights and privileges that are justly due him as an American citizen. Mr. Villard, with thousands of others in this country, feels that the negro needs not only this education and material wealth, of which he is securing more and more every year, but that he deserves justice in our courts, equal opportunities in civic and political life and the privileges of enjoying the best in a country which he has helped to build and protect. Cola nuts, which have been exported from the Gold Coast of Africa to the value of about $450,000 annually for several years, advanced in 1912 to $650,000 worth. Exports from southern Nigeria increased to nearly the same extent. Jamaica produces a great variety of hardwood trees. Lists of its timbers, classified according to the suitability of the timbers (113 in all), have been printed in a bulletin issued by the department of agriculture. Travelers may now go from Tokio to Peking in 85 hours. This route is through Seoul and Mukden. Trains run twice a week. The popular route heretofore has been by sea from Kobe and requires 144 hours. Despite the fact that the prices of its vehicles have been doubled in two years, the Zeppelin company engaged in the manufacture of dirigibles, lost $275,000 during the fiscal year just closed. Exports to Germany exceeded $187,000,000 in the eight months ended with August, and imports from that nation were above $118,000,000, an aggregate trade of more than $305,000,000.

The water of the Swiss city of Basle is so injurious to teeth that a municipal dental clinic has been established. One of the French manufacturers has produced a hydroacropane so powerful that it is in reality little less than a flying tugboat.

METROPOLIS. ILL. O'REILLY ON STAGE Recounting Several Improvements on Shakespeare and the Famous Roman Statesman. BY JOHN BARTON OXFORD. He sat on the end of the pier, dangling his long legs above the water while he watched the afternoon shadows play hide-and-seek among the spars of the fishing fleet at the next wharf. His bullet-shaped head was crowned with an aureole of fiery red hair; his pruducting jaw gave the impression of dogged determination; but, to offset this, his watery blue eyes, one of which had a decided cast, roved restlessly here and there with an air of melancholy indecision. His name began valiantly with Daniel Webster, and ended—with something of a shock to the senses—in O'Reilly. Beside him on the pier stringer lounged a smaller and meeker man—a satellite, evidently, if one were to judge him by the manner in which his eyes sought almost reverently O'Reilly's ugly features and the way he hung attentively on O'Reilly's every word. "Tis bein' too intellectual that begun it," quoth O'Reilly, borrowing the satellite's newly-lighted pipe and puffing away with contented inhalations. "If I hadn't been thinkin' too much of my intellect I wouldn't have been pursuin' borrowed literature behind a pile of packin' cases, an' if I hadn't been persuin' the literature, the head shipper wouldn't a' found me there an' fired me incontinent for doin' the same. As it was, I stuffed the literature into my pocket, said good day to the shipper an' wished him luck, sarcastic, an' havin' drawn the pay that was due me, departed into outer darkness. "Three weeks I was jobless, an' at the end of that time, what with toilin' not nor spinnin', I found myself facin' the terrible possibility of a personal famine in the midst of plenty. "Twas at that stage of the proceedin' that I run across Andy McConachy—success to the white soul of him! He took me down the street to a place an' listened to my troubles most sympathetic. "I happen to know,' says he, when I had finished, 'where you can land a job most suitable to your peculiar talents. This feller, Hagan, who is playin' "Jullus Caesar" at the Grand Opera house, is shy a couple of centurions. "Nature has cast you in the mold of a centurion,' he goes on, runnin' a critical eye over my contour. 'You've the build an' the air of one. Why don't you go up an' make a try for it?" "Who do I want to see up there?' says I, brightenin' up with hope. "The stage doorkeeper is a good friend of mine," says Andy. "I'll give you a note to him. Go up an' see him an' he'll put you wise. "An' that is how it came about that on the same evenin' I trod the boards in 'Julius Caesar', with an undecent pair of tights encasin' my legs, a dinky little skirt danglin' from my waist, a bit of tin armor on my chest, an' a brass helmet which sported a plume of rooster feathers for a lid. "For two weeks I led a care-free life, disportin' my immodest tights every night, doin' my groans an' my bellers an' drawin' my pay regular every Monday. I might have been doin' the same yet if my heart hadn't got away with my sense an' I hadn't give 'Julius Caesar' a much-needed chastisement one night when the house was packed. "Thiseller, Hagan, who was doin' the title role of the show, was a pompous, crabbed sort of a chap. He was always orderin' every one about an an' makin' a most amazing' fuss if everything didn't go just as he wanted it to. He had a wife—nice little elinin' sort of a creature that thought the sun rose an' set by him. He was forever findin' fault with her an' abusin' her something fierce, but she used to stand for it all with never a murmur. "She was cast for a small part, an' if she didn't do it just to suit his lordship's taste—which was frequent—the way he'd run on an' the names he'd call her was enough to make your blood run cold. But I never saw him abuse her except with his tongue, till this night I'm tellin' you about, when I resigned from the company sorter sudden. "Hagan must a' been drinkin' pretty hard, an' when it came time for the eventn' performance he was in his crankiest frame of mind. "Mrs. Hagan was watchin' him anxiously, but, once he got goln' he seemed to sober up all right, an' the show run on smooth as clockwork, with 'Julius Caesar' gettin' the glad hand every time he stuck his nose out of the wings, for, somehow, he was outdoin' himself. "After this first scene of his he come marchin' off the stage most majestic, but the minute he hit the wings he seemed to lose his grip on himself an' to go all to pieces. He stood there for a minute, shakin' an' sort of confused like; then he went staggerin' toward his dressin' room, with his wife, white an' anxious, trailin' after. "A minute later a door banged viciously, an' even in the wings we could Hagan's voice howlin' an' cussin' "Twas shortly afterward that I caught my tights on a nail in a piece of scenery an' tore 'em something scandalous. It behn' almost time for the centurions to show up again, I rushed down the passageway between the dressing' rooms to the property room, meant either to get the tear sewed up or to get a fresh pair or tights. "When I come back the door of Ragan's dressin' room was wide open an' I could hear two voices—his wife's, sort of low an' pleadin', and Hagan's roarin' back at her as if she was the inmate of a deaf asylum. I come along more cautions till I got to where I could see through the open doorway. "Hagan was standin' back to me. In one hand he held a bottle an' in the other a glass. 'Twas plain as the nose on your face that Julius Caesar' intended to take a little refreshment. His wife had hold with both hands of the arm that held the bottle. Her eyes were big an' frightened an' she was talkin' in a low, scared voice. "You sha'n't,' she was sayin', 'you sha'n't!" "An' then Hagan wrenched himself free. He put the bottle on a chair an', turnin' round, struck her with his fist. "Something seemed to give way inside of me. For a minute I couldn't seem to move, an' I guess it was lucky I couldn't, for there was murder in my soul, an' I guess if I'd got hold of Hagan then I'd have wrung the neck of him. "But before I could get my wits back sufficient there was a fortunate interruption in the shape of 'Brutus,' who come hurryin' down the passageway to the dressin' room an' pulled Hagan through the door. "Come, come, Hagan! Where the devil are you?' says he apparently not noticlin' the huddled heap on the trunk. 'Do you want to queer the scene?' Come on, now, an' get a grip on yourself. "An' off he goes, pushin' Hagan on in front of him. "I went down the passageway an' got some water in a dipper; then I come back to the dressin' room an' liftin' up the woman on the trunk, I bathed her temples till she opened her eyes an' said 'Thank you,' very weak. "Then I propped her up comfortable with some costumes an' went out to the wings. "My head was swimmin' an' red sparks was floatin' in front of my eyes, but I walked into the wings very steadily an' stopped there for a minute to listen. 'Julius Caesar' stood alone near the footlights, swayin' uncertainly while he delivered a soliloquy. "Only a moment I waited there before I stalked out on the stage, my tin breastplate clanking' an' the rooster feathers in the plume of my helmet streamin' out most virtuous. "Hagan heard me comin' an' turned round. When his eyes lit on me he fain turned yellow with anger. "Get out of here!' says he under his breath. 'What do you mean, you crazy fool!' Get out of here! "An with that he swings round an' goes on with his soliloquy, thinking, of course, that I'd dive crestfallen into the wings; but he was takin' a chance on uncertainties, for on I stalked an' caught him by the back of the neck with my right hand. The soliloquy stopped sudden; he let out a yell an' begun to cuss so violent that I had to hug him up to me an' clap my other hand over his mouth to choke him off. "Then I turned to the audience, which was starin' in open-mouthed wonder. "Ladies an' gentlemen," says I, bowin' my lowest an 'smilin' my sweetest, I'm sorry to interrupt "Julius" solloquy, but there's a few things that ought to be said, out of fairness to you, before he goes any farther. "...Julius," here, ain't just what he seems to be. He's been deceivin' you an 'tis now my intention to show him up for what he is. When he struts these boards every night an' gets the glad hand from you all good but misguided folks think of him as an upright an' honorable man, which he ain't by no means. He's a low-down, undeservin' hound. "But, like a good many people of his kind, he's got as good a wife as the Lord ever made. "Julius" ain't appreciative of this fact. He seems to think she's only something to cuss at a' wipe his feet on. This is his usual course with her, but tonight he went a step farther an' struck her a dirty, cowardly blow in the mouth. All of which makes me think that our friend, "Julius," here, is badly in need of chastisin' in public. An' this, if you will kindly give me your undived attention for a minute, I will proceed to do.' "All this time Hagan had been buttin' his head into my ribs an' kickin' me in the shins something cruel. "At the left of the scene was a flight of steps, an', when I'd dragged him thither, down on these I sat, an' after considerable of a struggle I managed to get him across my knees. Then I laid on some good, honest welts with my bare hands, the while he howled an' kicked an' bit most vicious. "I'd only got in a half dozen or so when a bell tinkled an' the curtain come down with a rush. People came swarmin' from every direction. I let go Hagan, give him a push an' a kick, an' jumped up to defend myself. I was makin' a pretty creditable job of it when 'Brutus' got a strangle-hold around my neck an' 'Cassius' tripped me up, an' then 'Mark Antony' gave me a moll in the short ribs that took the wind clean out of me an' put me down an' out. "When I come to I was layin' in the alley that runs back of the stage entrance, still togged out in my centurion rig, but with my civilized clothes piled up beside me. "Say, I'm out of a job, all right, an' I'm on my uppers for fair, but it's worth it. "I hear Hagan is treatin' her better now."

All things recalled, wouldn't it be the part of statesmanship to do congressional for the American farmer? He's one-fourth of your population, and the nation's best hope. The American merchant borrows at five per cent. The American stock gambler, producing nothing, accomplishing nothing, a merest leech living by toil of others, borrows for even less. The American farmer, with all that can be said to his good and solvent advantage, must and does pay $8 \frac{1}{2}$ per cent. And all the time the savings and postal banks are bulging with billions. If the government would make two blades of grass grow where but one has grown before—and publicly it would pay—the wide-flung chance lies open. Let it model action on French or German lines, and place the farmer on a borrowing par with the merchant the manufacturer and the stock jobber.

Must Have Stirred Audience. Dan Daly once essayed the legitimate. It was in his early days. All he had to do was to come to the center of the stage at a critical moment and shout: "The king is dead; long live the king!" When the time came Mr. Daly promptly assumed, the correct dramatic pose, but for a moment was so agitated that words failed him. Then he bellowed at the top of his voice: "Long live the king—he's dead!" Gladstone's Domestic Rule. Mr. Gladstone once said that he had solved the domestic problem in this way: "Whenever Mrs. Gladstone insists I submit; and whenever I insist she submits." He didn't say, however, whether they took turns about insisting and submitting. Marriage is a failure when one of the parties insists on being the insister and doesn't take turns in submitting to the submitter. Unusual Modesty "Dobbs is an extraordinary man." "In what respect?"

Canadian Government Agent ```markdown ``` WESTERN CANADA'S NATURAL RESOURCES WESTERN CANADA'S NATURAL RESOURCES PETROLEUM, NATURAL GAS, COAL AND FARM LANDS. The developments that have taken place recently in the oil and gas fields of Western Canada have but added another to the many previous evidences that have been produced, showing the great wealth that has been an unknown asset for so many generations. The latest reports from the oil fields at Calgary show that there is a production there that would appear to equal the best paying fields on the continent. Experts have been on the ground for some time. It is said that one of the wells is able to produce 2,000 gallons an hour. If this is so there are but about a dozen wells in the world of greater production. During the past week discoveries of surface indications have been made which show that oil exists over a considerable portion of Alberta and Saskatchewan, while in Manitoba there have also been showings. At Battleford, Saskatchewan, a few days ago discoveries were made which led to the filing for leases on twenty thousand acres of land, all having strong surface indications. Companies were formed to carry on immediate work, and in a couple of months, or probably less, the story will be told whether oil exists in paying quantities. But there are also the coal deposits and the natural gas deposits that are helping to make of Western Canada one of the wealthiest portions of the continent. With the grain fields covering these hidden riches it is no wonder that a continued range of optimism is to be seen everywhere. Early reports of needing of all grains being successfully completed all over the country are followed by reports of excellent and strong growth everywhere. During the first week in June most of the wheat had reached a growth of from twelve to twenty inches, with the most even appearance, almost universally, that has been seen for years. Oats appeared equally well, and covered the ground in a way that brought the broadest kind of a grin to overspread the farmer's countenance. Barley, a favorite with the hog raisers, had taken good root, and was crowding oats for a first place, as to length of shoot. Cultivated fodder grasses are getting great attention, as a consequence of the inclination to go more largely into mixed farming and the raising of hogs, cattle and horses. The weather is reported fine, just what is needed, and if present favorable conditions continue, the grain crop of Western Canada for 1914 will be the largest average in the history of the country—Advertisement. Public Opinion. People say how strong public opinion is; and, indeed, it is strong while it is in its prime. In its childhood and old age it is as weak as any other organism. I try to make my own work belong to the youth of public opinion. The history of the world is the record of the weakness, Trality and death of public opinion, as geology is the record of the decay of those bodily organisms in which public opinions have found material expression.—Samuel Butler. ECZEMA ITCHED AND BURNED R. F. D. No. 2, Seymour, Mo.—"My scalp broke out with fine pimples at the start. They itched and burned so much that I was compelled to scratch them and they would fester and come to a head and break out again. The trouble was attended by such burning and itching I could not sleep, also when I sweat it burned the same. My hair fell out gradually and the scalp kept rough and dry with itching and burning. After about two years the pimples broke out between my shoulders. My clothing irritated them. I was troubled with that eczema five or six years.

Asleep, and Didn't Know It—Was Going Fine and Greatly Interested When the Alarm Clock Butted Alleged cures for wakefulness are as numerous as feet of a centipede. When you complain that you can't sleep o' nights Tom is sure to tell you to count imaginary sheep going through an imaginary hole in an imaginary wall. Dick will come through with information that careful thought of your every action during the day just passed will lull you like a mother's soft refrain. Harry will testify that simply to relax and think of nothing, absolutely nothing, will soon set you to snoring. These methods may be all O. K. when Tom, Dick and Harry apply them to themselves, but they failed when given a thorough test by a sleepless and nigh worn out Chicagoan. He counted imaginary sheep into the thousands. He thought of everything he had done that day. He did his best to relax and to think of nothing. Still he was wide awake and the clock near by just chimed 3 a. m. The sleepless unfortunate tossed upon his pillow and muttered improcations against the evil spirit that drove the sandman from his bedroom. In a temporary lull after a particularly bitter bewail he seized upon a hope. It must be recorded about here that this victim of insomnia was a rabid golfer. Every spare moment he passed upon the links driving, putting and using the niblick in great glee. No wonder, then, that as he lay unable to sleep his thoughts turned to his favorite game. "Aha!" he said, half aloud, "I have it. I'll play a little golf in my mind. Away with the imaginary sheep. Bring on the golf clubs." The rest of the story, as the devotee of the Scottish game tells it to his friends while tarrying at "the nineteenth hole," is like this: "Gentlemen, I tell you that I played some golf that night. First I went around the Homewood course. I played every shot in my mind. Then I skipped around a course at Pinehurst. From there I jumped to Wheaton, where I played in great form. I was going at an unbeatable rate. I've forgotten who my opponents were, but I had 'em all 9 down at the turn. Then I hopped over to Hinndale and began lacing out 250-yard drives. Well, sir, I got as far as the water hole coming in. There I used my mashle. You know the shot. A chip with a back spin. Oh, it was a daisy, true as a die, with just the right distance. I watched the pesky little pill describe a parabola and descend straight for the cup. It was dead on, it appeared. I was about to shout when something happened. The ball seemed to stand still in midair. I heard a whirring sound. It was as though an aeroplane were swooping down at me. It came right at my head! There! I could see it! I dodged. Bing-br-br-br-rng-ng-g. "Twas my alarm clock! "Gentlemen, that game of mental golf is the greatest sleep producer in the world. I've tried it several times and I know. But it has its disadvantages. Take that mashie shot of mine at Hinadale, for instance. I know I'd have made the hole in one if that cussed clock hadn't butted in." Carter In Hard Luck. The carter brought a heavy load of coal to the doors of an English county lunatic asylum, and, getting no answer to his ring, entered and strolled along the corridors. No one was about, and seeing a door he opened it and stepped inside. No one was there. Then the door closed and he found himself in a padded cell. Presently some visitors entered and peered pityingly through an aperture in the door. "Please open the door," he pleaded. "I've brought a load of coal." "Ah," said one of the party, "that's his delusion. Some think they are the king, or the mikado, or Napoleon Bonaparte. This poor fellow thinks he's a coa porter. Come along." Then they went on and left him. Tales of the Parson. Some good "parson stories" are told in Mr. William T. Palmer's "Old Yarns of English Lakeland." In one parish the people when they arrived at the church door found it shut. The clerk blandly announced: "This is to give notice that there will be no service in this church for a matter of four weeks, as the parson's best hen has setten herself in the pulpit." It was a blind parson who halted in the middle of his reading to ask, when a farmer clattered down the little church in his iron-shod cloaks: "What's that rove in?" "It's Dan Mossop of Fell End." "Afoot or on horseback?" Late corners went in with care after that. Effeminate Method. Mr. and Mrs. Hudson were having a discussion one evening over Mr. Morris, a friend of the family. "I don't see," said Mrs. Hudson, "how you can say that Mr. Morris has an effeminate way of talking. He has a very loud and masculine voice." "I mean by an effeminate way of talking, my dear," responded the husband, "that he talks all the time."—National Monthly. METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE. METROPOLIS. ILL.

Genuine must bear Signature PARADISE FOR THE BIRDS Providence Seems to Have Provided Temperate Zone for the Feathered Friends of Man. Up in the far country where the timber falls, the calendar is respected. There is no summer before the official day set for it. The ground is held fast by frost until June is well-started. There are furries of snow, wild, bitter winds, a sky that has no mercy. And then, suddenly, the wind shifts and comes out of the south. It is summer then with a leap. The interest of the temperate zone in the northland is that it is there that have gone a great many of the migrating birds which paid us a few days' visit and passed on. For all its inhospitality to man, this country in summer is a paradise for birds. Its marshes are safe refuges from two and four-footed enemies. There is exhaustless material for nests. And out of the pools come myriads of insects, food that does not fall until the time for the southward bird movement arrives. Some man has said that there is no God north of latitude 59. He did not inquire as to what the birds might have thought of that—Toledo Blade. Makes Jobs for Detectives. Probably the only people to benefit by recent suffragette outrages are private detectives, many of whom are doing little else just now but guarding pictures and other treasures of well-known hosts and hostesses from attacks at social functions, the London Globe states. The head of one private detective agency told me the other day, says "The Carpenter" in the Express, that he had been obliged to engage a special staff for this work, and that to some receptions he has sent as many as a dozen faultlessly attired "guests" to look after the pictures and china of the host. Searching Criticism Five-year-old Herbert, scion of a bookish family, had learned to read so early and so readily that his first glimpses of storyland were growing hazy in his memory. One day he confided to his mother. "Ruthie showed me her new book today, and it's the queerest thing you ever saw! Why, it just says, 'Is it a dog? It is a dog. Can the dog run?' and a lot of things like that! 'Course I was too polite to say so, but it didn't seem to me the style was a bit juicy!"—Lippincott's. Cures Old Sores, Other Remedies Won't Cure.

Why is it that railway magnates, presidents of banks and heads of great enterprises who must perforce do business in cities, almost all try to have homes on farms in the country, where they develop soils, plant crops and breed animals? It is because there is wearisome monotony in piled up brick and stone. There is confusion in crowded streets and clanging trolley cars and hot smoky railways. These things man has made, and they are needful, but they are not life, much as the farm boy may imagine them to be. Life is in the open country. Life is in the growing grass, the waving fields of wheat, the springing corn. Life is in the trees and birds, life is in the developing animals of the farm. Any man who works with the land, who feeds a field and watches the result, gains a real fundamental knowledge of the underlying foundation on which rests all our civilization. It makes him a sober man, a thoughtful man, a reverent man, and if he experiments wisely a hopeful optimist. Life is where things are born and live and grow. On the farm is real life.—Breeder's Gazette. The Way of Progresa. A dog barking at a passing automobile is generally supposed to be as telling a symbol of futile objection to the march of progress as could well be imagined. In the almost same category, however, belongs the strike of the stevedores in New Orleans against the introduction of the electric truck to transport freight between vessels and warehouses. The wonder is that this improvement has been so long delayed instead of only now appearing—and then as a source of a new labor difficulty. One cannot have much sympathy for opposition in this particular instance. The motor vehicle in all of its forms has come to stay, and the rest of the world has been rather rapidly adjusting itself to the new condition—Engineering Record.

Made by HAD THE PICTURE'S MEANING Spectator at Least Formed Some Idea What Famous Painting Represented. Two men stood before a painting in a store the other day gazing wonderingly at a picture of an equestrian statue of General Lafayette. The famous Frenchman was represented on a prancing steed. Over his arm he carried a robe. At his feet stood an allegorical figure of Victory extending a sword toward him as a mark of homage. I wonder what that picture means? asked one of the men. "I don't know," replied the other. "I was just trying to make out what season of the year it was when a woman could go around with so little clothing while a man was dressed up in a heavy suit like that." "Oh, I see what it is now," cried the first one. "You see the soldier style the woman's cloak and when he took it from her he dropped his sword, and now the woman is trying to trade him back the sword for her clothing." Boon to Mankind. Ignatius Tootle, the renowned authority on floral life, who lives near the quiet village of Yankee Springs, is at the present time trying to outburbank Burbank, the wiz., by growing a rectangular watermelon. Mr. Tootle has noticed for years that ultimate consumers have had much trouble trying to carry watermelon from the store, inasmuch as they (the watermelons) are of awkward shape and quite slippery, and after a watermelon has fallen and has hit the cement sidewalk its usefulness may be said to be over. Mr. Tootle's watermelon will be long and will have square corners, one of which corners will fit into the bent elbow when the melon is carried on the inside of the arm. Mr. Tootle expects to have his new melon growing and on the market by 1927, if nothing happens.—Boston Globe.

How Mrs. Hurley Was Restored to Health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Eldon, Mo. — "I was troubled with displacement, inflammation and female weakness.

I have been at that time purple in the face and would A. walk the floor. I could not lie down or sit still sometimes for a day and a night at a time. I was nervous, and had very little appetite, no ambition, melancholy, and often felt as though I had not a friend in the world. After I had tried most every female remedy without success, my mother-in-law advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I did so and gained in strength every day.
