It should be called Appeal to Prejudice, for that is really all that it is. The paper is cleverly edited by a shrewd, designing chap in Kansas, who is just smart enough to know that every com- munity has its share of visionaries, malcontents, idlers and dreamers that will eagerly patronize such a mind- poisoning sheet and pile up money for its scheming publisher. Of course, the smart guy who edits and publishes the Socialist sheet aforesaid, does not be- lieve much of the cleverly written and deceptive rot that his sheet contains, but he has lots of willing dupes who do believe it, and that’s all he cares for. The balance is as easy as his victims, and all the publisher needs to do is to keep up his howl, laugh up his sleeve and draw the profits. We know of a number of fellows right here in this community who have been showing re- markable zeal for the benefit of the aforesaid Socialist rot-dispenser, while at the same time they have been put- ting no vim and energy into their own affairs. The said paper has made fools of a number of parents in this vicinity, poisoned the minds of their children and blighted their prospects of success in life. Such people will almost always be found living from hand to mouth all their lives. The dreams of the Social- ists can never be realized, because they are contrary to the laws of nature; and the man who allows himself to keep his thoughts upon the vagaries of socialism is merely wasting valuable time. Life is largely what we make it, and success is within the reach of all who possess sound minds and bodies and are willing to strive for it. The dreams of the Socialists. if they could be realized, would destroy all incen- tives to progress in the arts and sci- ences, kill laudable ambitions and re- turn the human family in time to its original state of savagery.

In this respect the water used by the Meyers- dale Brewing Company is unsurpassed, on account of its purity and its freedom from mineral and vegetable matter. { It comes from a never-failing spring, cool, clear and sparkling, filtered through the sand rock, and bright as distilled water. With this as a basis, and the choicest selection of malt and hops, this company is producing an ex- ceptionally pure and wholesome beer. These are some of the reasons why the Meyersdale Brewing Co. maintains, and the public is justified in believing that Meyersdale Bee; is Good Beer. 2-22 WOODS FOR VEHICLES AND IMPLE- MENTS. Conditions in Manufacture and Trade Brought Out by the Forest Service—Popular Fallacies. The manufacture of vehicles and im- plements occupies a rather curious position among wood-working indus- tries, as is shown by a study of vehicle and implement woods lately made by the Forest Service. It appears that in spite of the fact that the more popular woods are becoming scarce enough to make the use of substitutes in some cases imperative, the trade is largely tied down by unfounded prejudices in the minds of consumers against the use of substitutes. And these preju- dices, which manufacturers would now often be glad enough to overcome, are in some degree due to their own ef- forts, under the stress of competition, to create and strengthen a demand for the very woods which the depletion of supplies renders it more and more dif- ficult to obtain. For years the maker of vehicles and implements made a point of the fact that his wares were constructed only of certain kinds of wood, and the consumer has been led to believe that these kinds, and only these, are the best. Now that other kinds must be used, the consumer, who has been an apt scholar, still insists on baving the old favorites. Under these peculiar circumstances many manufacturers have chosen per- haps the only course open to them— that is, they have used substitutes without taking the consumer into their confidence. And in so doing they have been justified not only by the pressure of competition and the scarcity of sup- plies, but also by the excellent results which have been given by the new woods. The consumer, however, who feels that he has been tricked, when he discovers what has been done, is likely to be indignant. When he finds, for instance, that the box of his buggy or wagon, which he took to be poplar, is not poplar at all, but spruce, red fir, cypress, cottonwood, or red gum, he at once complains to the retailer. In this way he learns for the first time that a large percentage of so-called poplar ve- hicle bodies are actually made of one or other of these unfamiliar species. In the implement trade similar con- ditions obtain, though not in the same degree. To facilitate the introduction of le- gitimate substitutes, it therefore seems necessary to put the matter to open trial, and, by removing popular falla- cies, to enable manufacturers to offer in good faith a product which will bring a reasonable profit without falling short in utility. One of the means which the Forest Service has worked out to try the real serviceability of the new woods is a plan by which certain lumber produc- ers and manufacturers have agreed to lend their co-operation. The producers will furnish, without cost, the woods which give the best promise of meet- ing trade requirements, while the man- ufacturers, as their share in the dem- onstration, will convert these woods into parts of vehicles. The vehicles will then be given out to the trade, each part clearly marked with the name of the wood from which it is made, so that it may be openly tested in practi- cal use and compared from all points of view with its favored predecessors. In addition to this trial, the Forest Service has arranged for a series of laboratory tests of manufactured parts of vehicles to determine the relative strength of the newer woods and their suitability for use in vehicle construe- tion. Keen interest in these studies has been shown by makers of vehicles and implements. A circular setting forth the scope and results of the work, to- gether with such recommendations as the Service has to make will be pub- lished. A Severe Test. Don’t ask a girl to marry you after dark, when she is dressed fit to kill. Call on her, and when you leave, in- advertently drop a glove on the piano. Return for it the next morning at 9 o’clock. If she comes to the door with one shoe and one slipper on, her hair done up in curl papers, dressed in an old Mother Hubbard, our advice is to take to the woods. But if she appears in a neat house dress, ber hair done up, and a rose in the top of her hair, grab her quickly. —Ex.

Judgs O’Connor, of the Cambria County Court. recently made some very appropriate remarks to the ap- plicants for wholesale and retail liquer licenses. In the following paragraphs the principalfevils of the liquor traffie are touched upon by Judge O’Conner, and applicants are warned against countenancing or permitting any of the evils the court has called their attea- tion to. “We are led to believe from matters occurring on the trial of some causes that the practice of receiving merchan- dise in exchange for intoxicants still obtains in some portions of our county. This practice is a violation of the law, and is made a penal offense by the act of assembly. In no instance will this court grant a license to one guilty of such practices, and in every instance, upon proper proof, will it revoke =a license if held by such a person. “We have heretofore spoken of the presence of loafers, idle and disrepu- table persons in and about licensed places, and the one who hesitates. te dismiss a loafer, or who, in order te make a living out of his business, must encourage idle and disreputable per- sons to visit his place and remain there, is not a fit person to be entrusted with a license. “There is also another matter te which we haye heretofore called your attention, namely, the suppression of vulgarity and profanity in and about your places. Where practices of this sort are permitted to go unrestrained and obtain in any degree, a house could be regarded as little less tham disorderly, and a licensee who can not, or will not, suppress vulgarity and pro- fanity in and about his place, is not a fit man to hold a license. “There is yet another matter te which we have hitherto referred, and which we desire to repeat to you, as well as to call attention of those of- ficers of the law who have to do with the prosecution of its violations, name- ly, it is a criminal offense for qne hold- ing a license to sell or furnish liquor te one visibly intoxicated. “Visibly in- toxicated” does not mean that a persom must be hopelessly drunk, but it does mean that when one by his manner. appearance and speech indicates that he is already affected by intoxicating drink, that you may not lawfully sell or furnish him more. - “In conclusion, those who sell intoxi- cating liquors by retail for the year en- suing after March 15, 1906, and desire to have the same continue throughout the year, must cease to make presents, must refuse any extended credit, must not employ music, must not furnish elaborate free lunches, must not permi¢ the presence of loafers, idle and dis- reputable persons, of boys and womaa of doubtful character in and about the premises, must not furnish liquors im exchange for merchandise of any char- acter, must suppress vulgarity and pro- fanity, and must keep your place in a clean and sanitary coudition. Whole- salers must not employ agents to solicit trade from other than licensees, and must not deliver intoxicants to disor- derly houses. This applies to all whole- solers, irrespective of class” So much for Judge O'Connor, and that his remaaks are timely and in or- der, no reasonable person will deny. Found No Graft. Squire W. H. H. Baker, president of the board of county auditors, made his final official visit to the county-seat im connection with the 1905 audit, last Sat- urday. The settlement, which was per- haps the largest and most complex im the history of Somerset county, was completed within a period of twenty- four days, without the assistance of = clerk. Twenty-eight days, including the service of a clerk, were required by the board of auditors, last year, to ver- ify the county’s accounts, the county auditors this year curtailing expenses then incurred exactly $81. From this it will be seen that Messrs. Baker, Steinbaugh and Miller are lightning calculators. ’Squire Baker states that the board found no evidence of “graft.” alleged to exist in county financial affairs. He, however, intimated that some justices and assessors “farm” their offices and burden the county with considerable needless expense.— Rockwood Leader. KODOL DIGESTS WHAT YOU EAT.
