"That Is all a bluff!" they declared. Now comes the report that Captain Dollar has sold two of his vessels, oaf to a Chinese, and the other to a British firm, and arrangements are under way for the sale of a third.

This will leave the Hill liner, Minnesota, the only steamer flying the American flag in the trans-Pacific trade. Will Secretary Redfleld kindly subtract the Dollar tonnage from his next report on the growth of our merchant marine? FLY SWATTING IN EUROPE. The Labor of Farming Building.

Farragut ordered his flagship, the Hartford, to take the lead iu order to show his contempt for the torpedoes. ployes. In our modern culture we have all become too afraid of hard work. Many a man is wearing his life out in the bad air an office, who would greatly benefit his health, by going into farming. Also he would make an addition to the depleted food supply of the country.

But digging in the dirt, pitching hay, back ache. He has probably tried it some summer in a back yard garden. He found himself exhausted by an hour's with the spade. A great many boys also are physically indolent. No matter how hard they may play ball, any active muscular exertion at regular tasks seems intolerable.

No doubt this is ono of the great reasons why boys used to rush to the big cities. The fact that anyone is physically earled bj brief muscular activity does not prove that he could not do active work. It takes some time to develop muscle But any person with a sound constitution ought to be able in a. year or two to perform the farmer's ordinary tasks with energy and buoyant feeling. The hours of labor may be long in summer.

But the rush of overwork is no greater than in other professions. And there are several months in which a farmer harj larger control over his own time than any one else. sssful Partnership 1014--Nicaragua conceded to the United States the right to build a canal across the isthmus. ASTRONOMICAL EVENTS. Evening star: Alars.

Morning stars: Saturn, Jupiter, Mercury, Venus. The bright star Altalr seen Iu meridian due couth and high up about 11 p. m. Alfalfa tea is now said to be a sure cure for the blues. This will be good news for Democratic politicians.

Secretary Redfleld publishes letters to show that he warned the Eastland's owners on the 14th of July Why didn't he warn intending passengers on the Eustland at the same time? It is said that the idea of creating a navy board composed of such men as Thomas A. Edison, Orvllle Wright and Henry Ford, was first suggested by a young man in the office of As- I sistant Secretary Roosevelt. The author of the first real good idea the Secretary has had in two years should I bo given prompt recognition and motion. Mr. Bryan says that he does not i deal with subjects until they are cap- able of solution.

That is why he laved the slpughter of Champ Clark in the Baltimore convention; and that too, signifies his delai in going after Mr. Wilson He is waiting for Wilson I to get thoroughly ripe before pit-king him. Senator Phelan is wholly unfeeling I In his report on the Sullivan case. He I says nobody could a thought Sullivan fit for a diplomatic post, con. sidering his education, training, tern- perament and antecedents Tnis is to be taken as a bacKhanded slap at the President, insistPrt on appointing Sullivan even after Bryan had become suspicious of Sullivan's endorsements.

Mr. Calamity Howler and Mr. Foolish Optimist have formed a copartner- ship for the purpose of continuing and increasing the depression in business. They use opposite methods and so catch the public coming and going. Mr.

Howler Incessantly talks about hard times while Mr. Optimist tells about the prosperity of the country. The senior member of the firm does not have to draw as much on his imagination as his partner, but he draws a good deal for he looks into the future and Sees nothing but misfortune while every sane man knows that the future holds all sorts of things in store The junior partner dreams that he seca the country already rolling in prosperity and talks In his bleep, so he tells of his dreams as if they were real. But the two work well together while opposite methods and they are extremely successful in depressing business. The junior partner is really more capable than his associate.

We think he does rather more to continue hard times and to intensify them. The press of the country is divided between the methods of these two partners and we think the papers that continually discuss the hard times receive from those that tell of an imaginary prosperity the most effective aid in retarding a return of prosperity. Every man knots his own condition and by Uils time knows pretty" well the conditions throughout the country and judges by tho news columns and not by editorial utterances. When he knows conditions bad and sees them represented as good he knows somebody is whistling to keep his courage up and he imagines the thing that has scared him so badly that he must whistle or run is more terrible than It is. --Taylor in Los Angeles Our Daily Birthday Party (AUGUST 5.)

Never whisper.

Cultivate a proper tone. Listen to yourself. Hospital noises are one of the greatest trials to a hospital patient. Try to have your share of the noisemaking a small one. Pay especial attention to the quality of your voice, its pitch and intensity.

Most people Judge others by their voices. Consider your patient a guest and you will get the correct viewpoint. Note the nurse who causes the patients to brighten up when she comes in. Find out why. Cheerfulness is a habit.

Get the habit. You nuist expect to find some patients more attractive than others; but they arc all Buffering) human beings. Learn to show sympathy by tone and manner more than by what you say. Read the daily paper for five minutes. It may moan much to you and your patient.

Cultivate a sense of humor. It is essential to success. True sympathy Is not emotion. It is work. The real way to show that you are sorry for a condition is to attempt to relieve it.

If yon do not get your feelings hurt but oacc a day, you are lucky. Have you been fascinated by army nursing? Remember that unquestioning ooedience is the first characteristic of a good soldier."
