NEBRASKA BOY IS
ELECTED GOVERNOR
Everett J. Lake, Once of Stroms
burjr. Elected Governor in
Connecticut.
A former Nebraska hoy will soon
b- thf governor of Connecticut.
Ev ret J. Lake, republican sover-nor-elect
of Connecticut was a for
mer reMck-nt of St roinsbu !?.'. His
father. Thonris Lake, moved from
the east to Nebraska in ls&sj anil
usaed in the implement business
at. StromslnirK- The son at once en
tered the Strcinsburfc hish school
where he graduated in ISsS. After
his graduation the boy returned to
the east and entered the Worcester
school of technology, making a Spe
cialty of chemistry. He also became
known as a great football player and
his reputation was later enhanced
while a student at Harvard. He was
!! -idered one of the Lest players in
the country and proved a, "tower of
:reiig; li" to his team in its contest
with Yale.
The Hartford C'ourant has this to
say about the governor-elect when
he w:is a student ami a resident of
the Nebraska town:
"Siicctss springs phoenix-like from
the ashes :f former- defeats."
Ttie graduating class of the high
school nt St roni'-burg. Neb., was giv
ing its closing exercises. The class
orator, a buy of sixteen, tall and
broad-shouldered for his years, with
light wavy hair, blue eyes and a rud
dy, earnest face was speaking. He
had readied the conclusion of his ad
dress. With the earnestness of deep
sincerity he uttered the final words:
"Success springs phoenix-like from
the ashes of former defeats.' ITe
stopped, bowed his acknowledgement
of the applause and took his seat."
Everett J. Lake was married Sep
tember 4, to Miss Eva L. SykevS
of Ilockville. Conn., a daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. George Sykes. . They
are the parents of two children, a mij
and a daughter. The I-ake home at
1010 I'rospect avenue. Hartford, is
one of the most beautiful in the city
and the center of a delightful home
life. The governor-elect has been
identified for many years with the
large enterprises of Hartford. The
Courant says that he is popular with
the democrats. The paper has a
front page story dealing with the
history of the life and struggles of
Everett J. Lake to reach an assured
position in the commercial and po
litical world. Pictures of Mr. and
J Mrs. Lake, their two children and
their handsome home accompany the
story.
Isabella A. Bosley was born March
26, 1850, near' Uniontown. I'a.. and
departed this life Sunday. October
24. 1920. at Lincoln. Nebraska.
On January 20, 1S69, she was mar
ried to James II. Greene. To this
union were born seven children, four
of whom preceded the mother in
death.
The family moved to Pljttsmouth
from Iowa In 1871. Thirty-four
years ago they located In Elmwood.
which has buen their home since.
They went through the hardships of
the earlier years and were ambitious
to make a success of life, and to con
duct their business honestly.
In 1898 dtath claimed the husband
and father, leaving the mother with
three small children.
About three months ago Mrs.
Greene's health began to fail and all
that medical science could do was
done to restore it. It was of little
avail. On October 16. she submitted
to a very serious operation. Her
death occurred on October 24th.
She was known as a mother who
took great interest in her children
and loved them as only a mother
can. In return, she was dearly loved
by them. For the last few years she
made her home with her son, Harry.
She was baptized in the M. E. church
at Syracuse in IS CO.
She leaves to mourn her loss three
children. ltalph, Harry and Mrs.
Edna Tolhurst. all of Elmwood;
eight grandchildren; two brothers,
Harris, Bosley of Cooper. Iowa, and
Theodore Bosley, a twin brother, of
S-attle. Wash., and one sister, Mrs.
Bessie Campbell of Ies Moines, Iowa.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev. Wiegert of Milford. Neb.,
assisted by Hev. Sala of the M. E.
church at this place.
MAKES APPEAL TO
SCHOOL PATRONS
If It is a Bilious Attack
Take three of Chamberlains tab-
lets and a quick recovery is certain.
Edison Was Right Again
The prices of Edison Phonographs have in
creased less than 15' ', since 1914, and a substan
tial part of this increase is the 5'i tax, which the
Edicon Laboratories pay to the Government.
The Ediscn Phonograph cf today is a better
phonograph end a better value than the Edison
Phonograph cf 1914. On the other hand, the dollar
of today is worth, in purchasing power, only a
little more than half as much as the dollar of 1914.
Therefore, if you buy an Edison Phonograph at
this time, you are virtually buying a before-the-war
value with an after-the-war dollar.
Why was it that Edison did not increase his
pi ices and how did he avoid the necessity of doing
so? Any commercial agency and practically any
investment barker can ascertain for you that the
Edison Phonograph Laboratories were doing busi
ness, Li 1014, on a narrower margin of profit than
was true of ,-.r.y of the other established phono
graph, rr talking machine, manufacturers. How,
then, did Edir on manage to avoid an increase in
his selling prices?
Th story i3 dramatically interesting. The
follow ir.g is enly the essence of it:
When the United States of America entered
the Grea War. Mr. Edison dropped all his work
at the Edison Laboratories and enlisted in the
army cf American men of science, who pitted them
selves so successfully against the world-famed
German scientists. Cardinal Mercier, on his re
cent vi?it to America, credited Mr. Edison with a
brge share in winning the war for the Allies. The
New York American of September 5th describes,
at length, some of the inventions which Mr. Edison
developed and placed at the disposal of the Gov
ernment. In this article, the New York American
states that Mr. Edison appears to have been the
moving spirit of the Naval Consulting Board of
the United States.
When Mr. Edison pave np his own business
for the business of ths Nation, a very critical sit
uation existed in his Manufacturing Laboratories,
due to their inability to obtain various materials,
and the necessity of finding satisfactory substitutes
for such materials. If there was ever a time in
Mr. Edison's career, when his personal attention
to his business was reouired, it was when he went
to war. Thomas A. Edison had reason to believe
that he was risking enormous losses, by desert
ing his business, at the particular time in ques
tion, but he did not hesitate, and his example had
a remarkable influence on the men and women,
who remained behind. From the humblest work
man to the highest paid executive in the Edison
organisation, everyone seemed determined "to
make good, while the Old Man was away." Vaca
tions were passed up and doctors' orders were
ignored by zealous employees, and, as a result,
the Edison Manufacturing Laboratories were one
of the few manufacturing concerns in the United
States where there was no loss of efficiency dur
ing the war and where there was, in fact, an in
crease in efficiency.
During the war, Mr. Edison spent most of his
time on the sea coast or at sea. On those rare
occasions, when he visited the Edison Laboratories,
it was difficult to gain Ms attention for more
than a few minutes, with reference to business
matters. He did, however, state that the Edison
Phonograph was his pet invention and he hoped
that his business associates would be able, in some
v-av or other, to avoid an increase in price, and
that, if there must be an increase, he wanted such
increase to be just as small as it could possibly
be made. Mr. Edison said : "I am willing to stand
the gaff. Music is an important thing. Let ns
make it as easy as possible for people to have
music in their homes in these nerve-racking days."
' What was the result? The wonderful real
ism of the New Edison, "The Phonograph with a
Soul." made it desired above all other phonographs,
and its sale was stimulated by the fact that the
increase in price was negligible. The demand
soon far outstripped the supply. . Overhead and
sales expense were reduced to the minimum and,
thanks to Mr. Edison's willingness to absorb a
large share of the increased cost of manufacture,
it was possible for the Edison Laboratories, by ac
cepting a merely nominal profit, to avoid any sub
stantial increase in the selling price of the Edison
Phonograph.
It will be many years before the general level
of community prices is as low as the present price
of the Edison Phonograph. Leading bankers have
exnressed themselves as willing to lend money on
Edison Phonographs, because they know the sell
ing prices of Edison Phonographs are not going to
be reduced.
Let us reiterate that when you "buy an Edison
Phonograph today you buy a before-the-war value
with an after-the-war dollar. If you have any
fear that there may be a reduction in the prices
of Edison Phonographs, we are prepared to give
you full assurance on that point.

j Former Teacher Urges Fathers and
Mothers to "Help Your Teach
er" Work Together
School time - is here again, and
with it we hare the usual problem of
seeing that the children keep up
in their school work. Parents and
teacher should work together.
One good way for parents to help
the. teacher is to invite her to their
homes, to become better acquainted.
She is almost always glad to accept
the invitation, especially if she lives
out of the district. If that is the
case, why not invite her for over
Sunday? She would be pleased to
accept and you would only be show
ing hr a kindness in return for what
she is doing: for your boy or girl.
Then, too, the parents may discuss
any habits or faults of the children
whiefi it is necessary for the teacher
to know.
Parents should not take their
children's part against the teacher's
until they also have the teacher's
side. Then they are capable of Judg
ing both sides fairly.
Teachers are greatly helped by the
few thoughtful parents who appre
ciate their efforts in teaching and
are in sympathy with the methods
used. No one but a teacher, or one
who has been, is able to understand
the million and one things a teacher
must do each day. Sometimes par
ents can help by not expecting their
child to te "teacher's pet" because
father Is a member of the school
board.
Some parents take a trip in the
fall, or have the children help at
home. anl start? them to school a
month later, orjwhenever they take
a notion. Parents put yourself in
the teacher's place;" do you suppose
you would be willing to start a new
class for some mother's boy or girl
Just because mother was gone on a
vacation when fechool opened? As
though the mother could not possibly
have gone earlier in the summer!
Then, too, a great many parents
fail to teoh thejr children to be po
lite and attentive to the teacher, and
this hinders the Steadier in her work.
How proud a teacher feels, when a
pupil shows his courtesy by even
bringing a oflwer or a fruit!'
Another habit' so many of us have
Is to speak slightingly of the teacher
In the presence of the children, per
haps of some trivial fault, be it real
or imagined. This ruins the teach
er's Influence over the pupil, and
should not be indulged in. I
Let us remember that as long as
the teacher does her best, it is not
our place to condemn her. Teach
your boy manners at home, instead
of teaching him slang and words
worse than slang. Many a primary
pupil on the first day uses words
which he should never as much as
heard before. "Just what he or she
heard papa say."
Lt us help the teacher, for it is
she who helps your sons and daugh
ters. She is human, and has faults like
the rest of us. Let's boost her in
every possible way, Instead of being

Majority Party Has at Least 290 Seats
to 138 Democrats Non-Partsan
League Hard Hit in Landslide
New York, Nov. 5. Congressional
elections in three districts had not
been- officially reported and with the
uncertain trend that, has taken place
in the Fourth and Fifth districts in
Tennessee, the republicans still have
a chance of adding to their record
majority in the new house. The
Twenty-third New York district, in
which six election districts are to be
beard from, shows the republican
candidate leading by approximately
2,000. The district at present is
represented by Richard V. McKlnlery,
democrat, and his defeat Is not con
ceded by the democrats, as the miss
ing districts are regarded as demo
cratic strongholds. The other dis
tricts remaining in doubt because of
the ahsev.ee of ofliclal reports are the
Eighth of Minnesota and the Fifth of
Missouri.
Late returns today from Tennessee
Indicated that W. F. Clouse, republi
can, was leading Kepresentat i ve Cor
dell Hull by less than .'500 in the
Fourth district, but republican lead
ers were confident that the complete
returns would show a plurality of at
least 1,000 for Clouse. In the Eighth
district incomplete returns gave L. A.
Scott, republican, a small lead over
Gordon Browning, democrat. The
election of Hull and Browning was
indicated in the early returns.
Republicans 290, Democrats 138
In the districts that have definitely
reported, the republicans have elected
290 and the democrats 138. including
the two Tennessee seats which to
night were placed in the doubtful
column. The others elected include
one socialist, one independent, one
prohibition and one independent re
publican. ThrJ. the republinans with 290
members as compared with 232 in
the present congress, have made a
net gain of fifty-eight members by
invading many democratic districts
and filling some vacancies, while the
democrats, with KIS members, as
compared with 190 in the present
congress, have suffered a loss of fifty-
two. The miacellaneous representa
tion of four is the same numerically
as before.
Reorganization of the democratic
national committee may take place in
Washington early in December when
George White, chairman, expects to
call a conference of committee mem
bers, he announced today.
"The situation is entirely differ
ent from eight and four years ago,"
Mr. White said. "Like the republi
cans of those years, we can have the
anvil chorus after March 4."
, The chairman declined to comment
on the suggestion yesterday of Wil
liam J. Bryan that President Wilson
resign. Mr. White expressed . the
hope that arrangements can be made
at the meeting in Washington where
by, if he remains as chairman of the
national committee, some other per
son can be appointed to handle affairs
at the Washington headuuarters.

Serious Results from Colds
As crrairman of the board of di
rectors of the United States Steel
corporation. Judge Elbert H. Gary,
necessarily keeps in constant and
close touch with the country's in
dustrial and financial conditions.
Bankers and business men turn to
the industry in which he is the most
prominent figure as barometric of
the general outlook. He and they
look constantly to future prospects
for present guidance. Here is the
recent message he gave to the pub
lic, through the medium of an ad
dress at New York to the members of
the American Iron and Steel insti
tute: "Although this is a time for cour
age, composure and caution, the busi
ness skies are practically without
clouds. As always, there may be
showers from time to time, but there
i nothing in the atmosphere to in
dicate the approach of dangerous
storms. It is up to the business men
and women to maintain certain and
continuous business activity in satis
factory volume with fair and reason
able profits.
"The present tendency is toward
a lower, more reasonable and fairer
relative basis. The whole commun
ity desires and strikes for this. The
difficulty is found in the fact that
every individual is perfectly willing
that all others shall make reductions
the larger the better. As there
was more or lees a scramble for high
er and still higher prices when they
were advancing, there will be Just
as much selfishness in the enforced
use of brakes when there is a tend
ency toward decreasing prices. Now
a general public, including particu
larly those who are neither sellers
nor buyers to a large extent, will in
one way or another bring about a fair
and reasonable adjustment of prices.
The law of supply and demand will
be the principal factor.
"When we consider the world's dis
asters, destructions, agitations, dis
trusts and vicious propaganda the
wonder is that business during the
last few years has been so good and
cur country ro prosperous as it has
been. Gentlemen, the earth is still
regularly turning on its axis, the sea
sons come and go, the fields laugh
with the harvests, the mines and
wells yield their riches, the morale
of the people in general are improv
ing and an overruling and Jut prov
idence is surely controlling the des
tines of men and nations."
