Ifllertitinj Eotcrtainment ' The literary program rendered by the Grammar school last Frl day afternoon in the Auditorium, reflects much credit upon the teacher, Miss Joan Morton and her pupils. Every one who took part in the exercises whether in recitation, dialogues, or music did splendidly. A number of visitors were present who great ly enjoyed the entertainment; but after hearing the school sing 0 dear, what can the matter be, parents don't visit the school the regret was freely expressed that there are so many parents in town who do not seerrv to have any interest in the schools be yond "hiking" their children off in the morning trusting to Provi dence and the teachers to dp the reai. , i Badly Frightened CirL ' Judge Donald P.

A aaiiMirn"h False Economy. One reason for the high cost of living is the demand for cheap goods which, of course, means poor quality. We know from ex perience that it now costs us three dollars a year for rubbers as against one dollar and twenty- five cents for one pair of the same kind ten years ago. The same is true of many articles of necessity in a family. In the case of rubbers, if the increased cost of crude rubber had been added to the retail price and qual ity kept up, so as to make them cost two dollars, we could still lave a dollar a year. But the od- posite took place, and the retail price has been lowered to one dollar, which is false economy. We believe that retail merchants try to protect their customers: but . the customers demand the cheap grades and there you are The World's Rubber Supply. The world's production of rub ber amounts to about 125.000 tons annually. South America supplies 40,000 tons of this amount; the East Indies. 60.000: Africa, 15,000; Central America 000, and divers other countries. 000. The product from the East Indies is all from cultivated trees. It is plantation erown. Most or the plantations, too. are young, with many producing now for the first time. Careful esti mate has it that these cultivated trees, producing in 1908 only !,000 tons, will produce, by the end of next year, one hundred times that amount or 20Gf,000 tons and, by the end of 1920 will be sending to the world's mar kets more than 300.000 tons'. There is not therefore, any im mediate danger of exhaustion in the supply, and no good reason tor an advance m the price of automobile tires. Church Notices.

Taking a business view of the matter of swearing, do you know a roan of any considerable influ ence who is a great swearer? Will any man given to much swearing dare to admit to him self that he prefers the advice of another great swearer? Of all men who should rightly judge the calibre of swearing men, the swearer should be most proficient for, speaking for himBelf, down in his heart he knows that he feels the weakness of his words when he' is compelled to distract attention to that weakness by the free interjection of oaths. We challenge any swearer to con vince thoughtful men that the! habit of swearing did not grow out of the feeling of a void a feenntr that thev lacked sincerity and force, and that he did not try to make up for it by swear ing. -A rule by which men mea sure each other is language. Without even having thought of why, every man. woman, and child soon unconsciously classes the great swearer with those to whom he would not go in times of great distress-all for the fore going reasons. Then, too, the swearer loses influence by reason of the disgust he arouses in the minds' of his hearers. Every body knows somebody who. by reason of good nature or some other attractive trait would be a genial companion if it were not for the other fellow's swearing. But fortunately, the loss is the greater to the offending party. The profane man thus who seemingly has no regard for his influence on boys that are grow ing into manhood, should not for get that every time he utters an oath he is violating ' the specific law of God which says "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain." He should not forget, too, that he stands before the eyes of the world a criminal, for were it not for the charity of his friends, he would be arrested, taken before a Justice of the Peace, and be compelled to pay 67 cents and costs for every oath uttered. Quit your swearing. Who Furnished Honey.

Most of the "anti" funds were person al contributions of money, and more than three fifths of these came from a group of men whose checks averaged $235 apiece. On the suffrage side more than four fifths'ofthe personal contribu tions were from women: on the other side less than one-fifth.
