I no row at McCarthy
j SAYS COMMERCIAL SECRETARY
- —- — -
In a communication received by a
late boat from J. A. Barrett, secre
tary of the Chamber of Commerce of
that enterprising little railroad city.
Mr. Barrett states that the Prospect
or and Miner were in error In stat
ing that a general row had occurred
! there between miners and citizens.
Mr. Barrett stated that there was a
little row between a Montenegrin
from the Treadwell mine and one Mr.
Smith, who would not stand for an in
isult, which was right, but no battle
occurred between the townspeople
land the miners from the Bonanza,
land there was no gun play or knives
I used, and no one hurt. The row
{amounted to nothing, and the citi
zens of the town feeling that the city
had been misrepresented asked these
I papers to make a correction.
| A commercial traveler was res
ponsible for the Miner’s story of the
j battle, and we printed the story as
!given. Happily, we were wrong and
j cheerfully make the correction.
INDIVIDUAL THRIFT.
It Matna to the Man What Conaarva*
tion Doaa to ‘tho Nation.
Tlie movement to encourage the peo
ple of this country to curb extrava
gance and to save money is rapidly
growing, and it is a good tiling that
it is so. We need such a campaign,
and its gosjicl of thrift should l>e
spread broadcast throughout our land.
The American people must save. .They
can no longer afford to waste.
It was the tremendous natural wealth
of this country that made Americans
a nation of spendthrifts. Now the end
of nature's bounty is actually in sight.
All of the liettcr public lands have l ceu
taken up. The government is earefuiiy
estimating our resources of coal and
oil. Water power is being develojied
and husbanded. Wealth is not half so
easy to create as once it was, and for
that reason there is a nation wide ai»
preeiation of the necessity for conserv
ing it. Thrift means to tl;c individual
life exactly what conservation does to
the nation.
This movement for saving money
means a good deal more titan the curb
ing of individual extravagance. It
means more capital available for the
uses of commerce. It means that when
you have saved $1,000 you will fiml it
a gn«id deal easier to borrow another
$1,000 If you have n "feood investment in
view.
CLOTHES ON THE LINE.
Putting a Bit of Pootry Into o Very
Prosaic Task.
A ride along the interurbnn cars ou a
fine Monday will show you llDe after
line of snowy clothes fluttering In the
breeze, and If you are a woman who
has ever tried her bahd at the washing
game you'll envy the woman who has
the bright afternoon before her to do
aa she pleases sliice she baa spent her
morning so profitably.
Did you ever pin freshly washed
clothes on a line out in the sunshine
and breeze—clothes that you washed
with your own hands?
You haveti't? Well, you needn't say
It with such a scornful tilt to your
nose. You're to be |iitied more than
envied, for you've missed one of the
joys of being a woman.
Maylte the real work of It. flic scrub
bing and boiling and rinsing' part,
couldn't be called pure Joy. but hang
ing I he pieces up. dean and sweet and
white, then standing back to view
proudly the whole long row-ah, then
you taste the glory of real achievement,
and it gives a satisfaction that few
achievements give.
It's such a worthy work, making the
world a cleaner, more wholesome
place, by beginning on your own soiled
raiment.—Indianapolis News.
Big Chains Are Handmade.
In this day of machine manufacture
it will perhaps surprise some to learn
that the uiaking'of l»ig chains is large
ly, if not entirely, confined to methods
dependent on hand labor, says the Sci
entific American. There are probably
u<> big chains being made in the Unit
ed States by the use of machinery.
There are various appliances employ
ed. but these are hand operated or per
sonally controlled. This situation ap
I tears to be due to two tilings. First, as
tlie proverbial expression lias it. "a
chain is no stronger than the weakest
of its links.” A handmade chain is
naturally made link by link. If the
workmen are not only careful, but con
scientious as to details, there is a
considerable opportunity for attention,
equivalent to continuous inspection.
The making of big chains is largely an
old time blacksmith's job.
Wasted Power.
Professor Charles Baskerville, head
of the department of chemistry in the
College of the City of New York, stated
in a recent interview regarding the
work of modern chemists:
"In any chemical problem there Is
no telling where the chemist will stop.
Just now there are many chemists
working on the problem of free gas.
An immeasurable lot of power is wast
ed iu the dumps of our coal mines. If
this waste were reduced to gas by the
retort process enough ammonia might
be produced as a byproduct to pay for
the whole cost of the operation, making
the gas free. The gas could tbeu be used
to generate electric power. Really, one
big railroad ougbt to be running on
the power it is now throwing away in
these supposedly worthless dumps."
Employment Managers.
The functiou of securing the right
kind of help and seeing to It that that
help makes continued progress toward
maximum efficiency Is second to no
other in any factory, and for this rea
son the manager of the employment
department must have absolute author
ity over those functions or at least
must have first band access to the ear
of the supreme administrative author
ity.— R. C. Clothier in Industrial Man
agement.
Coolness Under Difficulties.
The grammar school principal went
from room to room explaining what to
do in case of fire. The pupils listened
with respectful attention until he came
to "tils final instructions, then smiles
and giggles disturbed the principal’s
serenity.
"Above all things,” he said, "if your
clothing catches tire remain cool."
Avoids Knockers.
Bill—Opportunity is knocking at your
door daily, you know. .Till—Well, 1
don’t pay any attention to “knockers,"
and if I did like as not he’d try to un
load some new novelty of encyclopedia
on me.—Exchange.
The man with a new idea is a crank
until the ideH succeeds.—-Mark Twain.
f
WHEN A FIRE STARTS
the firemen's best effor*3 are
given to putting it out as
quickly as possible. He aims
to save as much as he can. Bat
once a fire starts, damage end
loss commence. The only nay
to offset that loss is to be well
insured. Our policies cover
all losses from the very min
ute the damage by flames, wa
ter or smoke commences.
