A partally burned cob and some paper were found wedged between the fence and the garage. The cob had been soaked n kerosene. Luckly the dastard faled to accomplsh hs desgns. About 9 o clock Sunday evenng Mr. Drllng saw a woman or a man dressed n woman s clothng run west down the alley back of the Drllng home and ths s probably the person who attempted the ncendarsm. A neghbor of Mr. D rlll- ng taw a.small blaze n the alley and wondered at the fre on Sunday nght hut gave t lttle thought untl the partally burned paper and cob were found. That a delberate attempt was made to burn Mr. Drllng s buldngs there s lttle doubt, but whv tlls attempt was made seems to be a mystery unless t was the work of a dseased mnd. n the latter evont no property to safe. t has been shown n other places that a person of ths character wll delberately start a fre for the fun of seeng t burn. Every ctzen of the vllage should use every means possble to locate the gulty party, f such proves to ho the eaae, and prevent the destructon of property. Another tme t may prove more successful. 180 Envelopes, H e Plalndealer.

As a local nsttuton, arranged for, managed and drected by our most representatve and publcsprted ctzens, our Chautauqua deserves the actve support of every good ctzen. Those who have taken the ntatve n arrangng for the Chautauqua have done so wthout thought of reward or remuneraton of any knd, ecept the satsfacton of renderng good publc servce. and every ndvdual who beleves n the communty and Rb future wll, we beleve, be found heartly backng up and workng wth the commttee to whom has been ntrusted the management of the Assembly. Ths commttee has employed eperts who make up the central assocaton to assst n the buldng of the program, the plannng of the advertsng campagn, supplyng of the tent and other servce because they know that by ths method mamum servce and program qualty may be had at a lower prce than by any other plan.

Durng recent years Cana da, Australa and New Zealand have enthusastcally adopted the chau tauqua dea, and we understand that durng ths summer for the frst tme England s to have the summer Chautauqua.

They cut ther own grass, sprnkle ther own lawnh, drve ther own autos all alone - and never stop to thnk that they lve n a neghborhood. t s because of such condtons that the old neghborhood sprt has just about ded out. Of course, people who lve solated lves never do much for a neghborhood. They eat and sleep n ther own homes, and that's about all that makes t home. They're honest and respectable, of course, but that sn't all that s epected of a person. f you lve near people you ought to be frendly wth them. No town or communty can become greater than the people who lve n t, and f a majorty of our ctzens should act lke a few we know t wouldn't be a communty worn makng a home n. We d rather go out and camp alongsde some runnng stream, where at least the brds would affect some sgn of frendlness and neghborlness, than hang up our hat n a house located among people who have forgotten how to amllc, and how to vst among each other as our forefathers dd. When you no longer care about your neghbors when you shut yourself up wthn the castle of your own concet and defy anybody to break nto your heart or lfe, you no longer amount to much n your town or communty, though you may have plenty of money and consder yourself a very mportant personage.

They are msleadng and borderng pretty close upon false pretense. We feel sure Chatsworth people know the newspapers of ths country are not so short of help or materal that t n necessary for mal-order concerns to advertse for wrters. And yet we epect that every now and then someone n ths localty falls for the fake. There are few people capabls of wrttng the class of matter for whch newspaper and magazne edtors pay money, and an alleged course n a school that pretends to teach the busness s not the proper way to attan such a pont. Nether s t necessary for any concern lo send ts letters or crculars <o hundreds of dfferent communtes to have them addressed when there are always hundreds of men and women and boys and grls rght n the same cty capable of dong the work. Steer clear of these fake concerns there's a catch n every ad.

The coolness of the weather s keepng the corn from growng as fc.st as desred but the frequent rans are keepng grass lands and outs n good condton. New. Patronage The way to do busness n these tmes s to seek new patronage and thereby cheate a greatly ncreased volume of trade. You can add to the scope of any busness by solctng more busness for t. f you ask for a subscrpton for any good cause whch wll beneft the publc you wll get precous lttle money merely by openng up a place to receve t. But f you go around from door to door you can get the money t a too epensve for any local busness man to send solctors from door to door n Chatsworth. But the people feel so keenly the desre to make good bargans that a newspaper advertsement wll perform the same functon, and wll draw them to the stores that wll show ther enterprse by makng an effort to sell ther goods. When the volume of trade s bult up n ths way, then the cost of dong busness per artcle a reduced, and sales can be made at a very low cost to the merchant. Fleeced Btreatov Men.

Tlls s so because economes made by government offcals are not transformed nto dvdends for themselves us they are n prvate busness. There s an mpresson n congress and throughout tle country that men of great ablty are not found n government servce; that the salares are not suffcent to attract and hold them. On the contrary, there are a great many people of dstngushed ablty lu the government servce.

Speakng on the naval dsarmament treaty and the legslaton desgned to etend government ad to Amercan shppng, Senator Ransdell, who s presdent of the Natonal Merchant Marne assocaton, ponted out that n navy, wthout adequate support from ts natonal trade fleet, s practcally powerless. "There s only one way for naval equalty to be realzed, he sad, and thut s for Amerca to make materal nddtlons to ts commercal fleet. Swft vessels of commerce, carryng both freght and passengers, havng a speed n ecess of 15 to 20 knots preferably 20 knots and over and from 10,000 to 15,000 tons are most effectve as aulares to the navy n tme of war. How Great Brtan stands n relaton to the Unted States on the bnsls of such shps s shown n the followng table, adapted from fgures presented by Seuator Ransdell, gvng the TR RG A TO N threatens Glacer Natlonal park. Recommendatons made by the nternatonal Jont commsson to the governments of the Unted States and Canada urge that Lower St. Mary lake, n the Blackfeet ndan reservatldn, Montana, be converted nto an rrgaton reservor whch wll push ten mles back nto the nntlonnl park terrtory adjonng on the west, and turn the upper nnd lower lakes nto one reservor. fth ls s done, the level of beautful St. Mary lake, wholly wthn the natonal park, wll be rased more than forty feet. Under the treaty of 1000, Canada wll have a pror rght to three-quarters of these natonal park waters; the other quarter wll go to Montana.

October 18, by whch the senate ratfed the separate treaty between the Unted States und Germany. Tlls reservaton, whch was later ncluded n tle Presdent's proclamaton, provded "tlut the Unted States shall not le represented or partcpate n any body, ugeney or commsson, nor shall any person represent tho Unted States as a member of any body, agency or commsson n whch tle Unted States s authorzed to partcpate by tts treaty unless and untl an act of the congress of the Unted Stutes shall provde for suclt representaton or partcpaton. Thus tle admnstraton holds that under tle specfc language of the senate's ratfcaton resoluton the ntatve s clearly left wth congress and, t s argued, suggestons from senators or congressmen tlut the Presdent should go ultend und name a representatve and transmt tle name to tle senate for ratfcaton are clearly besde tle pont. Senator Uuderwood recently declared n tle senate that the only way for the Unted Stutes to get uny part of tle German reparaton pnyuets was to get representaton on the alled reparaton commsson.
