Again the railroad strike
threatens and as one paper aptl
puts it the railroad employees
will find that a president ana
congress before election and the
same president and congrest
after election are two different
propositions
f Well we didn’t want Woodrow
but we got him and like any
other good citizen we are going
to accept the will of the’" major-
ity We are’of the opinion that
Mr Wilson (or Mr Hughes
either for that matter) has his
work cut out for him and it is
the duty of every patriotic citi-
zen to stand by the elected exec-
utive of the nation Serious
problems are to be met and we
hope the view of the" more than
eight million voters who express-
their disapproval of Mr Wilson’s
policies will receive someconsid-'
eration at his hands

ALWAYS source of worry
Problem of Proper Cooking Hae Both
ered Even Those Who “Sat in
the High Placet”
The Springfield Republican exhumes
and exhibits the fact that Charles Dicks
ens once had a talk with Queen Vlo
toria at Buckingham palace and that
ithe chief subjects of the conversation
were the difficulties of obtaining satis-
factory domestic service and the In-
creasing cost of victuals
The Incident remarks the Louisville
Courier-Journal throws an Interesting
-sidelight upon the characters of two
notables showing that neither of them
overvalued formality and that the two
of them were able to discuss In neigh-
borly fashion the problems In which
they were as much concerned a& they
were In problems of state or phases of
literature or the other arts
it is altogether probable that the As-
syrian Persian and Egyptian mon-
nrchs - when those countries were
young If they ever were young thought
and talked as the widow of Windsor
and the great novelist thought antf
talked at a much later period There
is every reason to believe that when
Darius was consulting with his en-
gineers about the feasibility of digging
a canal across the Isthmus of Suez he
was having trouble getting his three
meals cooked and served as he de-
sired If Cheops did not dine at the
club or restaurant occasionally while he
was Impressing the labor of thousands
of fellaheen to build the boss pyramid
It was because royal dignity didn’t ad-
mit of that means of escape from do-
mestic annoyance or because there)
wasn’t any club or Festaurant boasting
a chef who could satisfy the palate of
a wearer of the purple -’
History is not clear on the point but
perhaps Diogenes lived in the tub to
avoid the burdens of a larger establish-
ment and maybe Nebuchadnezzar’s
real reason for running on range and
entlng grass was that be had been
driven mad by the aggravations of -culinary
department which never was
In perfect working order
GREAT ‘PROTECTOR’ NOT VAIN
Records 8how Oliver Cromwell Object-
ed to Idea of Having hie “Effigy”
i Stamped on Medal
While the Armada medals may be
regarded as the beginning of war mod-
als In England the true prototype of
the war medal of today is held to be
itbe famous “Dunbnr Medal” authorized
by parliament in 1650 It was tbe first
medal as far as Is known to be issued
to all ranks alike from tbe humblest:
soldier to the commander in chief
Tbere were two Issues of the medal
but oq the obverse of both of them was
a left profile bust of Oliver Cromwell
with a battler raging in the distance It
was no choice of Cromwell’s that his
likeness appeared on the medaL In a
letter addressed to the "Committee of
the Army in London” he urges that his
likeness should not appear on the med-
al that one side should show the par-
liament and the other tbe army and he
adds : “Wherefore If I may beg It as a
favor from you I most earnestly be-
seech you if I may do it without of-
fense that It may be so 'And If you
think not fit to have It as I offer you
may alter It as you see Cause only I do!
think I may-truly say it' will be very
thankfully acknowledged by me If you
will spare the having of my effigies In
it” Parliament however would -not
hear of It and the protector’s “effigy”
la made the prominent feature on the
obverse of both medals :
Famous Maryland Artists
Maryland has reason to be proud of
the two artists Charles and Rem-
brandt Peale The former was born:
at Chestertown Md In 174L Like
Robert Fulton be was both artist and
inventor Charles Peale started life
as a saddler then Silversmith watch-
maker aijd carver He went to Bos-
ton and studied under the celebrated
Copley and Inter In London under
Benjamin West Then came the honor
of painting the first portrait of Wash-i
ington as a Virginia colonel In 1772
During the revolution he commanded a
company at the battle of Trenton amf
Germantown and was a member of
the Pennsylvania convention of 1777
He however rendered a greater serv-
ice to posterity by painting the por-l
traits of the leading officers of the
Revolution and was one of the pro-
moters of the Academy of Fine Arts In
Philadelphia This most versatile man
besides Inventing a great ' variety of
machines was the first American man-
ufacturer of enamel teeth He died Ini
Philadelphia in 1827 but his art lived
In the person of his famous son Hem-
brandt Peale - - r
Giant Sun
Canopus tbe giant of the solar sys-
tem la according to a recent calculation
of Prof W F A Ellison 49000 times as
bright as the sun' Its diameter is 134
times that of the sun it Is 18000
times larger In surface 2420000
times larger in volume The dlstonce
of It from us according to the same
authority is 489 light years
“Suppose” says Professor Ellis!
What Instead of being at this enor-l
mons distance It were placed In the
center bf tbe solar sytem In lieu ofi
the sun? It would then occupy eighty-!
five hundredths ' of the space lying-
within the Drblt of Venus and as seen
from the earth would subtend an nnglel
of about 70 degrees of arc Thus
when Its lower limb was on our horl-
son Its upper would be within 20 de-
grees of the zenith Needless to say
no life could exist on earth with such'
a neighborhood”— Icuth’s Companion

TURKEYAN“IDJUF
At Least That Is the Opinion
Farmer Has of the Great
American Bird
Housewives contemplating the
annual Thanksgiving dinner lit-
tle realize the months of prep-
aratlon which- preceded the
feast Their cranberries are on the
market Turkeys dressed and ready
for the oven huge yellow pumpkins
with the earth still clinging to their
gaudy sides oranges apples grapes
and nuts all await the call of the epi-
cure - “V " '
A trip to a market gives the layman
an insight Into tbe real business of
Thanksgiving and Incidentally a quan-
tity of rural folk lore which Is illu-
minating Wandering around tbe wag)
ons which line the sidewalks of the
market spaee a reporter the other day
came upon an old resident of Virginia
— a man with whiskers and a magnifi-
cent quid of tobacco and a small sup-
ply of turkeys the last named alive
and protesting vigorously against the
confinement of their crates rf
After a ‘ little preliminary conver-
sation the old farmer dilated upon the
ways of the great American fete bird
and In his conversation knocked the
pedestal upon which the fowl Is placed
squarely from under Its feet'
“Biggest fool bird In the world” hie
confided to the reporter “They ain’t
nothin’ In the world that I’ve ever
found that’s as big an ldjut as a tur-
key” “In what way?” was asked
“in every way” replied the farmer
“I believe that the words 'not sense
enough to come In out of the rain’ was
written to describe a turkey Did
you ever know for instance that a
turkey can drown Itself during a rain-
storm?” ' '
-"What I” ejaculated the reporter
- "Fact” said the farmer “Them
there birds hold up their heads during
a rainstorm exactly as If they was
trying to swallow the whole creation
Naturally they can’t drink the entire
output And I tell you as a fact
that I’ve found cases where they man-
aged to drown themselves”
Continuing on the peculiarities of
the bird tbe old man said :
‘ “They're helpless critters too Ain't
got ns much gumption about them as
a chicken And frail— let me tell you
young man that a turkey Is the great-
est nataral-born Invalid in the world
They have to be watched every minute
or the first thing you know they’ll up
And die on you without second's
warning -
“I been raisin' turkeys for years
and years— had good luck with 'em
too But I reckon I don’t understand
more than half about them Nobody
does— particularly why the Creator
when he made ’em didn’t give ’em
minds”
“Does that apply to wild turkeys as
well as the tame ones?” asked the re-
porter The old man apat thoughtfully am?
profusely at ' a chip of wood In the
atreeb He hit the mark
“Aa to that” he aald “I can’t exact-
ly aay "Mebbe there's something In
the Idea tlfat a turkey when he's tame
gets so used to bavin’ folks make a
fuss over him that he Jest naturally
loses all his ambition There's one
thing certain — If every wild turkey
was as big a fool as some that I've
raised there woulfln’t be a live wild
turkey In the United States within a
year” — Washington Star
Cranberry Industry ’
Study of the cranberry Industry by
government specialists has shown It to
be confined practically to three stntej
Massachusetts New Jersey and Wis-
consin Of the total crop Massa-
chusetts produces In an average year
about 800000 New Jersey 150000 and
Wisconsin 75000 barrels ' The Indus-
try Is gradually extending to Minneso-
ta Michigan and Oregon where
marshes and climatic conditions are
favorable
