Twenty-two. airplanes starting from Long Island to the Pacific coast will have their path lighted by enormous sparchliehtfl all the way.

He "shot" the two lions and has produced a fine picture of one of nature's wonders. ' ' . , Perhaps there are men and women who will think the man foolish for trying so long to secure a mere photo graph. But there are others who will appreciate both the gift he has made to the many people who will never see those twin peaks at first hand and the pleasure the photographer himself must have derived from his camera quest. It was a kind of a game for him, and there was as much fun in the playing as in the winning. In those fif teen years he must have learned a great deal about moun tain photography. He has seen the twin peaks under many conditions and in varied asDects. a iov to the true lover of mountains and sky and clouds. He probably has secured many interesting and beautiful photographs of other views. He has got out of his quest a big fund of neaiin ana natural enjoyment, and added vastly to the interest of life. A good many persons who are inclined to stick too close to business and the humdrum things of the daily routine would be healthier and happier if they would go out on a similar quest, adapted only to their tastes and ability, and the opportunities at hand. !

G. E. Brooking, Proprietor Just how the daylight saving law works to the great disadvantage of the farmer has never been made convinc ingly clear, but the representatives of the rural districts in congress mustered sufficient strength to repeal it and The searchlight unit will have a , wireless outfit. More than 100 men are in the company engaged.in this work, with thirty-two officers, and a kitchen with a serv iag capafcity of 220 is with them. There is also a special photographic outfit. - ' . . It may seem rather cumbersome to take the transcon tinental flight with so much terrestial impediment, but this means keeping on the safe side in a new field where, after all, little is really known yet of the possibilities. The slowness, the apparently, fussy details which at tend such an expedition correspond to the chain of naval ships which held the path for the seaplane venture. They may seem less "sporting" than blind jumps into the un known. Dredging a channel is less of a sporting affair ihan diving into the channel; but it is probably more pro ductive in the long'i-un, and is apt to increase the pleas ure and safety of future divers. - ' A GAME WORTH PLAYING. -r.:;, r Among the mountains overlooking the harbor at Vancouver, Canada, are two peaks which resemble crouch ing lions.. It is only recently that the newspaper-reading public has had .ah opportunity to see a picture of those peaks. The man Who has at last secured a good photo graph of the stone crouching lions tried tor tnat picture for fifteen, years!. . His many efforts met with continued failure. Atmos pheric conditions and shifting clouds, constantly altering light effects, spoiled his negatives time again and again RIPPLING RHYMES By Wait Mason THE COMMON PEOPLE. The common people round me troop, the Toms and Dicks and Harrys; one builds himself a nice new coop, one dies, another marries. The banker's clad in gaudy rigs, his bank has marble portals; the hostler curries down his nags, and both are common mortals. The tin smith makes our motor cars, the blacksmith works his bellows, the poet soars among the stars, and all are com mon fellows. We all are equal at our birth, one kid's just like another; and when we tumble off the earth, what nan's above another? I walk along the churchyard aisles, i nd, pensive, muse and ponder; the granite's reared in costly piles above that grove o'er yonder; and there a poor man sleeps alone, a friendless wight and .daffy, above his head & simple stone, devoid of epitapby, NAnd both are sleeping just the same, the poor man and the Croesus; on earth they played the common game, and now they're gone tn pieces. In youth we all are gay and vain, in middte age we're sober; and all of us have ache and pain when life "lias reached October. The king, who has God given right ffl l n nation's master, must leave his downy couch at night to hunt a porous plaster. It makes me tired to hear n.e talk of strata and of classes; we're just the plain old : human flock, we're just the common masses.

And by the repeal the United States slips back to a program of waste. Economies run ning into millions of dollars have been effected through the saving of fuel and artificial light by means of regulat ing industrial operations to the daylight hours. - - Hard on their protest against the Plumb plan of rail road administration, or any other system savoring of other than private ownership, the owners of the railroads through the Association of Railway Executives are asking that the present rates and government guarantee of a standard return be continued until conditions again be come normal. , In short, the .railroad owners, seeing a stormy period of readjustment ahead, are .; asking the people of the country to underwrite theirfight and take whatever the railroads wish to offer in, return, Such, a proposition would listen good to almost "aify business man with a large capital invested-just at this time, but it don't sound just like good government. ' The United States merchant marine is surely on the map at last. In July, lyib, 48 per cent of the vessels that passed through the Panama canal were British; 10 per i- T .

And if they carry out all the work planned by that body they will -be the veritable busy 13s we are so frequently told about when we show a disposition to loaf on the job. We may never know just how many of those Mexican t andits are bagged during the present raid. ' The boys will probably be too busy to keep accurate count, and one greaser more or less ot that" particular brand is not worth bothering, about. J the iSuiiteimker of -Henry Steel of Woodburn was slightly damaged on Slate street when the car struck the rear wheel of the chemical. The Stude paker was thrown to tho parking, striking a' -telegraph pole which was broken by ..the impact. Fortunately neither Mr. nor Mrs. Steel who were in the car ware injured. The only dam- ago to the chemical auto was a dent on the hub. Jt 9ecms that tho chemical auto was making about 35 miles an hour and was sounding the siren, but the Studeibaker ahead driven by Mr. Steel did not turn out to give way un til the chemical almost reached it. In' turning out, the Studubakcr was swerv ed a lift -o to one side just as the chem ical passed. The fire was just south of the Eplcy store on State street in a pile of old shingles that had been stacked under an apple tree. It really Is a fact that, beginning with tho new shipments of stock for fall and winter wear, shoes will retail from $2 to $3 higher. As a greater part or this new stock will arrive about Sept. 1 this date has been set as the time whon prices will advance, but it is understood this retort to new shipments, where shoo dealers ihavo been obliged to pay the higher whole sale price. But the fact remains that this fall it will require a few more dollars to buy a pair of slue than it did last year at this tiimo, notwith standing ail invesligations on the high cost of almost everything. s Have Us Examine Your Eyes If its glasses you need we can fit you no matter how difficult your case may be.

I tried to cleau my smudged race with a dusty handkerchief. 1 tore off niv apron and flung it behind tho door. Jt was Jeanne, Jeanne at her love so sensible to come to you if I want advice or anything, ' You 're like his sister. And I do want you to help me. Can't you just tell "Tom-s-not from mo of coursi" but, well you fix it up that I just can't stand this old ring. It was his mother's. Just an bid ame thyst. Who cares if it was his mothers. 1 want a great, big, sparkling diamond. I won 't go on being engaged if 1 can 't have a stunning ring!" What came next; wa so sudden so unexplained that it scarcelv seemed real. I. know 1 clutched the side of my chair. ' Por there stood Tom'V At the end ot liest so carelessly dressed, yet with tho room. His face was inexpressible, white with anger cold, terrible anger. "Give it . to me!" he said. Then again, "Give me the ringl" "O Tom, dear, I didu t mean" Tom's face had changed. But I did not like to see tho look in his eyes. A disillusioned look'. A bitter look. He held out his hand. His lips were closed in a Btmight, hard line. Jeanne pulled off the amethyst ring She looked at Tom with little curl of those pretty Hps,- She just nodded to me. She was gone. I could say nothing to Tom. I did not know what to nay. No banalities, no sympathy would suffice. 8till the hard look on- his face. The tight Hue of his lips had not relaxed. Then, before I knew it, I said the word out loud, "I'm so glad Tom!" His whole expression changed. Surprise swept over his face. He turned. The front door closed behind him. Ho, too, wat gone. v And I was left on a pile of dusty magaiines. w ith such cure, nue was in UlacK. rToin it, her blonde prettiuoss stood out in charming couttast. Beautiful luce foil away from her sleuder thrnnt. Her hair glenmed mideT the soft darkness of her hat. . She sat on a straight chair In the curtaiuless room. Its bareness Made her the more bewitching. Her hands were clasped listlessly on the black dress. On one finger was a ring, beautiful and odd. "What an unusual ring," I said. "Oh, that, that is my engagement ring," her voice was emotionless. "iour engagement ring! " 1 could not repress the little gasp in my voice. " Yes; didn 't you know that I 'm en gssred to Tom Angus!" ' . It was not she that colored. It was 1. Tom engaged! I had an awful feeling -as if I were left alone in an. empty world. Though, of course, Tom is only my old pal. : ; . . Then I forgot myself.
