Shingle Manufacturers Seek
Retention of Proposed
Duty. '
Washington, Aug. 2. Reports
among northwestern lumbermen
that an attempt would be made to
overturn the import duty of 50 cents
per thousand on shingles, carried by
the Fordney tariff bills, brought a
delegation of shingle manufacturers
before the senate finance committee
today in defense of the schedule.
Representative Johnson, republican,
Washington, headed the delegation
and announced that if there was to
be a fight "we want to be counted
in "in upport of the duty."
George A. JBcrgatrom, of Everett,
and E. E. Cale fo Raymond, Wash.,
were Heard in behalf of the rate
. which they said measured the dif
ference between operation or clos
ing of their plants, ,
Each of the witn'esse maintained
that a higher duty than 50 cents ac
tually was necessary, but expressed
satisfaction with tho rate as pro
vided in the Fordney bill. They
contended , that Canadian shingle
makers were driving plants out of
business on this side of the line be
cause of cheaper1: Canadian produce

Beechnuts.
Down tha hill, a little way front
Farmer Green' house, great beech
tree stood btsida tha road. In Ilia
fall, when the nut were ripe, John
nie Green often visited the tree, and
so did Frisky Squirrel. And o.

likewise, did the noisy rascal, Ja
per Jay. They liked beechnuts-
all three. And aomhow they got the
notion that the beech tree belonged
to them and to nobody else.
One fine crisp fall day when John
nie Green was in school, a fourth
nut-lover wandered down th road,
stopped right between the wheel
tracks, and sniffed. It was Grunty
Pig.
"I smell beechnuts." he cried with
a' joyful squeal. And crashing into
the light underbrush along the road
side, he began to search among the
laiien leaves with his long nose.
boon Orunty came upon a cluster
of the three-sided nuts, clinging In
side a bur that the frost had split
open. He ate the sweet nuts, shell
and all. And with many a grunt of
delight he grubbed beneath the tree
from which the nuts had fallen. His
keen nose led him to burs that
jonnnie ureen had trampled over
that very morning, and missed.
X wonder said Grunty Pig
aloud "I wonder why nobody ever
told me about this beech tree.
' Perhaps it was because you are
pig, said a voice right over his
head.
He looked up. And there on a
low branch sat Frisky Squirrel.
Grunty knew him; he had sometimes
seen him around farmer ureen
corncrib.
Of course. I'm a Pig." Grunty re
torted, Tm Mr. Pig'a son."
"Well. Mr. Pig's son, I notice
that you have helped yourself freely
to beechnuts."
"I've eaten all I could find."
Grunty told Frisky with a grin.
"I don't hear any thanks." Frislcv
Squirrel remarked. "Don't you know
that these beechnuts belonr to me
and Jasper Jay and Johnnie Green?"
umpnr '
"You did?" Frisky inquired: .
''Union 1"
"Oh. ypu didn't!" Frisky exclaim
ed. "Then I suppose I shall have
to pardon you. But Jasper Jay
wouldn't if ne caught you taking any
of, the nuts that fall from this
tree." - -
There was truth in what Frisky
sa)d. Even as he spoke a patch
of blue flashed in the top of the
beech tree. And a harsh voice sang
put, "What's going on here?"
' Jasper Jay had arrived. 1 r
Grunty Pig. however, did not even
give Jasper a glance. ' Instead, ha
began nosing about for another
beechnut. ,:'
For a moment or two Jasper Jay
watched him. And then Jasper be-
gan to squawk.
"Stop that!" he ordered. "Don't
you dare to take any of our beech-

Constantinople. Aug. 2. (By
The Associated Press.) It appears
probable that active military opera
tion by the Greeks and Turks will
be halted for weeks owing to lack
of water. The Greeks are making
atrenuous efforta to supply their
troops, sending to the front in au
tomobiles thousands of wine bar

filed with water. The Turks, who
are suffering as . a result of the
Greek transport system, are offer
ing rewards of $1,000 for the cap

a motor captain.

For the next few weeks there will
continue to be heated discussions as
to where the summer vacation is to
be apent.
Not all homes will be at variance
on this subject but a good many
will be. '

is a golf course, where he can get
?ood fishing or some sport he en

place where she can get raal rest
Or the husband may want the
absolute quiet, and hi wif does not
care for it.

make it more pleasant all around.

time might be divided, eaeh Shar

might be the husband choice, or
vice versa. .. .
And if one or the other does gtva
in it should be done freely and hap-
pily, not grudingly nor complalning

start out on vacations and sea how
many really know how to b happy,

Pittsburgh Dramatic
Editor Dies at Hia Home
Pittsburgh, Aug. 29. Charki M.
Eregg, aged 37, dramatic editor of
the Gazette-Times and one of the
most widely known theatrical
writers in the United States, died
bere Sunday night after a lone ill
ness. His widow and one daughter
survive him.
How can little children be taught
not to piay witn matches r
Playing with matches is so ex
cessively dangerous a thing that
children should never be allowed to
form the habit. Matches should.be
kept out of their reach. If, by any
chance, a child does obtain poses
slon of matches, and light them, an
explanation should be made of the
danger of the practice; and in order
to guard against possible accidents,
some punishment certain to be re
membered by the particular child
should be given. Playing with match'
ep is one of the things each child
must learn without delay not to do.
WHY-
Do Wa Call 8me Pwplo "Snob?"
. Used in the sense of one who is
not a gentleman and who therefore
overestimates the value of rank and
position, snob" has a history as in
teresting as any word in the English
language for it really belongs to the
same class a "mob," being an ab-
breivation for a diatinctly unwielded
i-ann pnrase,
During the latter part of the 18th
century and the early part of the
19th". a number of the "exclusive"
colleges in England laid great em
phasis upon the fact that the ma
jority of their pupil wre from the
ranks of the nobility; in ome cases
being even of royal birth. This of
course, Had tha effect of raising the
school in the estimation of those
who, while wealthy enough to send
their sons there for education, did
not have the prestige of title. In
order to differentiate between the
scions of the noble houses and those
of lesser birth it waa customary to
enter the names of the latter class
upon the school register with the no
tation "a, nob," thia being an ab
breviation of the Latin "sine npbUit
ate" or "without nobility."
It was from this source that
Thackery secured the word which
he coined to describe George IV,
and which afterwards clipped into
the language as a simple and easy
definatlon of one who, throughhls
wish to appear a gentleman, view
rank and position with so much rev
erence that he clearly betrays his
more humble origin.
