ae THE SATURDAY EVENING POST Shining with a Century Progress A hundred years ago, Franklin's kite and key, bringing electricity earthwards, started the scientific research which has produced the numerous comforts and conveniences electricity today affords. With LIGHT electricity’s most common use, the goal has ever been to produce it better, brighter, cheaper, whiter. On October 21st, 1879, Edison gave to the world its first prac- tical incandescent lamp. Since then the im- provements on it have been many and great. But the revolutionary and epoch-marking advance in electric incandescent lighting has been made by the General Electric Company, which, because of its know! edge of all things electrical, — because of its leadership in every field of electrical endeavor, and because of its great work of making electricity's use universal and economical, has produced lamps that make the MOST of all the ele« trical activity that lies behind the sockets on your walls EDISON MAZDA LAMPS Made in U.S. A.and backed by MAZDA Service Why not put them in YOUR sockets >— They give you three times as much light as the old-style car- bon lamps without inc reasing your current bills. With them you can have the same amount of light you enjoy with carbon lamps for one-third the cost. Figured both in light and in money, economy dictates their use To get the GREATEST AMOUNT of light, to get the GREATEST MONEY saving on your current bills, put them in every socket in every room Get ALL the light you are paying for. Your light- ing company or nearest MAZDA Agent will supply you EDISON LAMP WORKS General Offices of General Electric Co. Harrison, N. J. 0-8 “+ -eesen, iF £. zs F His Only Rival Wii ‘M4 6369

It probable that even these wise persons did not think that a whole three months would be taken up in scoring. That is what has happened, and the spectators meaning the American people—have been yawning their heads off, and getting their national diversions out of the old-reliable baseball and the movies, th the comic supplements and golf as side lines.

There was only one way to figure it: Normally, there are about a million and a half or two million more Republicans in this country than Demo- crats. Wherefore, if all the Republicans vote for Hughes, and all the Democrats for Wilson, Hughes may win. But will all the Republicans vote for Hughes? And will all the Democrats vote for Wilson? All the Republicans are not telling. Neither are all the Democrats. It was like guessing what the weather will be a year from next Thursday. Meantime the Democrats—especially the Washington, D. C., Democrats—had hypnotized themselves into a state of ecstatic belief that to win with Wilson was a cinch. Look at his record! Nothing to it—not a thing! Meantime, also, the Republicans gradually woke from the dream they dreamed immediately after the Chicago Convention, wherein they saw Hughes carrying all the Northern States, and Kentucky and a few others for good measure, and had gone into a decline of doubts and fears. Hughes boomed after his convention and then began to slump. Wilson came to his highest effulgence along late in August But that was the professional political view. The esteemed proletariat said nothing and gave no sign. At this point came the election in Maine. At this point, in a presidential year, always comes the election in Maine The Maine folks are prudent and thrifty folks. The fact that their election comes in September makes them politi cally important, and they thus preserve that political importance and derive much sustenance from the anti quated political managers, who fall year after year for the barometer fiction. If you should find out how much money was spent in Maine this year, by both political parties, in the endeavor to push the barometer one way or the other you would be surprised — perhaps shocked. However, the amount of money spent was as nothing to the amount of political hot air that was misspent. Maine And Maine performed. Then Scrutinizing Maine return is one of the best things editors, professional politicians and became intensely important the returns were scrutinized political prophets do. The difficulty with the variou | They Maine elections are a good de al ce the Constitution of the United States; you can read anything scrutinies applied is that none of them is nonpartisan are all biased into them you want, or you can read anything out of them you want-—-if you are a good reader “Fine!”’ said the Democrats. ‘‘ Inasmuch as the Repub licans didn’t equal the very highest majorities they ever had, the result in Maine shows incontestably that Wilson will win. Besides, Maine is a rock-ribbed Republican state. Also, too much importance is attached to Maine. Furthermore, we didn’t expect to win are not disappointed. Excellent!” * Marvelous!” shouted the Republic ans ‘The Repub- lican state of Maine has gone Republican! What does this show? It shows that Hughes will carry the standard of the G. O. P. triumphantly to victory. It presages a united party in November. It isa beacon light. It is an inspiring evidence of the return to sanity of the people. It is a tribute to the immortal principles of the Republican party. It is the stuff!” Pish! Suppose it had happened the other way round } In conciusion, we qOoTr “Tremendous!” the Democrats would have “‘Here we have a Repul ar state that has discarded Republicanism, and has given evidence that the people are behind Wilson, the greatest statesman and wisest President Fill in the re November. It make his election certain.

Maine has been a doubtf state for years Its present state government Democrati It merely continued as it has bee: We are much encouraged and have no fears of the result in November.” Tush!

McCormick, the official spok« man of the Democrat s, and the chortles of the Republi ncluding the throaty chuckles of Mr. Hughes himself The significance of Maine, in the broad aspect, is t double-barreled and not otherv The result woke the Democrats who were dreaming of a victory already won in a Fool's Paradise of the tion of ing, and convinced them that the elee instead of being a cinch, is a conjecture These Weeks of Uncertainties IKEWISE, the result pulled the Republicar out ol a 4 Dismal Swamp into which they had fallen, and gave them the confidence they lacked after the first flush of had died away The result was a dose needed on ea Side It allayed he Democrats, and it raised the tempera t ul It reduced the Democrat ve y i the emaciated Republicar It pu impaign where it shouid be made a horse-trot of ired confidence and reduced overconfidence; helpe sides by enabling them to get money.

Things are moving very rapidly these days. What might have been true about Maine four or eight years ago, bar metrically, isn’t necessarily true this year, when cond are unique. Let us, for the sake of old times, give the re n Maine to Mr. Hughes as a most potent augury of vict n November. It isn’t hard to make it that.

The men in the office were good fellows at heart, but they were spoiled by the bitter flavor of Hopkins. They went the rounds of one ar other’s desks, making beastly little jest And they played jokes, hid hatsand arranged humiliating fake telephone calls. After a few years in Hopkins & Gato’s fine, solid, prosperous office you were qualified to go right out to the trenches and join the poison squad This was the font of wisdom where eager, fresh-colored, wistful, hard-working Terry Ames fished for the truth about this hor esty which sounds so simple in the books and works out so jaggedly in ordinary life He was always going out to lunch with J. J., with Mac, shrewdest of the salesmen, and with ancient Harry, the bookkeeper, who had detachable cuffs and a preternatural shrewdness in collections. While they all got on a mild coffee drunk, as is the way at business lunches, Terry persistently tried to bring the conversation round to the que tion of commercial honesty. The wise elders shrieked at him: **Oh, give your conscience a rest!" They gave their consciences a good, per- manent rest and fed them soothing sirup if they waked and cried Sometimes Terry could get oracles out of old Harry, who defended the Hopkins system of exaggerating in advertisements, using much retouched half tones, hypno- tizing old-lady customers, and selling jerry- built houses from which the concrete peeled off during the first winter. Harry asserted: “It’s all right to talk, but you aren’t in business for your health, are you? Besides, everybody does it.” The others would nod approval of Harry’s pellucid philosophy and drop into Terry’s truth-begging palm such pearls as these: “This bull about building homes for the future and making suburbs beautiful listens well in a higl recitation, but how are you going to support the business mean- while?” “Why, we're with most of "em smile that mad

They had sold most of their Long Island suburb to unfortunates who had never seen New York State; and now, lest they neglect the suckers in New York, they were taking on Tangerine Springs, ‘“‘the citrus city, the best orange district in Florida,”’ for mail and direct selling. Mr. Hopkins had a whole pamphlet of affable goverr ment figures about the yield in orange groves not more than ten miles from Tangerine Springs, figures so convincing that the Hop- kins copy writer, Terry Ames, wondered where the flaw really was as he turned out notices about “Golden fruit and a golden bank account; the way out for the city man who is tired of offices and Northern cold Own your own bungalow among the palms and hibiscus; easy work and big returns.’

Terry had to admire her modulating voice, though he hated to hear it respond to the smirking, much married Mac, who leaned over her desk and flashed his diamond ring at her. lerry found that he, too, had the most sur- prising number of errands that took him up to her end of the office. But he wouldn't himself to her—no, not for any- adv ice to give he introduce thing! When he left at five-thirty she was put- ting on a blue linen jacket with impudent white cuffs and collar, and a small toque which sat cockily on her brown, shining hair. All the Sir Walter Raleighs in the shop galloped up to help her, while the old dependables, the stenographers who had with the firm since Hopkins was a yearling, somehow managed to struggl into their sateen-lined, tabby black jac kets without assistance ‘Good Lord, look at them, « veryone but old Harry and me and the firm!

When he was really on the job Terry tried to be crisp, alert, practical, and in such a mood of justice he wondered if Miss Bratt really was looking for flirtations. She seemed very busy, checking two lists of alfalfa-land ir quiries to be used for the Tangerine Springs circularizing J. J. and Terry were sitting ir one of those familiar poetic ab- stractions, trying to think of a bet ter phrase to close the letter which they were planning—tilted back, tapping their teeth with their pen- heads or cTOSS- cils, one side, one eye closed, the other eye screwed up and anxiously regarding the ceil ing, looking tremendously and both of them passing the buck and plaintively hoping that the other fellow was going to hurry ip and think of the phrase.

Cy vr ay THE SATURDAY vulgarly crawling up their backs. They had no energy for work. Even Terry, who was becoming ambitious, guiltily put off every possible task. J. J. and Watkins stopped at his desk now and then to gasp, always in the same words “Hot enough for you to-day ? rain. That'll cool it off.” All day the sky had been a dirty, even gray. Going to Just before closing time the sky—and, seemingly all the air itself—suddenly turned to a terrifying greenish black. Gusts of wind scattered papers. Everyone leaped to close windows. The roar of the blast was muffled as the windows went bang-bang-bang. They all stood looking out at the storm. It was night dark. A feeling of awe and terror held them Terry saw Sue staring out uneasily. He also saw Mac, the irrepressible, moving to- ward her, He ranged down and joined her, while Mac pretended that he had been heading for another window. “I'm seared,” Sue said. The air seemed to boil. But no rain came yet. The world was taut, waiting for it. The city had warded off Nature, but here was Nature trying to recapture her domain. It seemed as though the walls must be beaten flat, and wilderness creep back among the ruins. Angry supernal hands shook the windows. Fear was abroad, and turned the busily insignificant office folk into a more heroic race, more primeval and tragic. Terry boldly laid his hand over hers as they faced the storm. He pretended that they were in the open together. They stood motionless, their hands stirringly warm to each other, unconscious of the fact that the rest of the office were muttering “‘ Gosh, going to rain fierce,”’ or “‘Got an umbrella, Mac Left mine home, dog-gone it,”’ or “Wonder how I'll get to the L,” or, very often,!‘‘Ames and Miss Bratt seem quite chummy.” Mr. Hopkins stalked out of his office and stared about, whereupon they all guiltily left the windows and got to work—all but lerry and Sue, oblivious, shoulders com- fortingly close together at the window. They did not move till the office had re- turned to its ordinary indifference to mere Nature, with typewriters chattering and desk lights snapped on to combat the ab- normal darkness, The cheerful yellow glow through the office made them all inattentive to the mo- when the rain finally smashed down. Terry's leaving time came fifteen min later. But he waited at a window, watching the rain change from a black tor- rent to a sheet of gray The disappearance of the terror of the storm let him down ° Th ; he couldn't ave { Too wet.

He was so excited that he slopped too much catchup on his beans. Also he let the trolley carry him past the right street, in his perturbed worry as to what he should wear, what sort of ménage he would find. Was Miss Susan Bratt of a family poor or well-to-do? Did she have a wholesale family or a spinster flat? Should he wear evening clothes or be cheerful and democratic in a clean shave and just clothes? Incidentally, he didn’t own evening clothes. Of course he could hire them, but what was all this stuff about black and white ties, black and white waistcoats? In short, he had a perfectly tremendous and youthful time worrying, then put on the other suit, decided that his umbrella was no good, took said umbrella, and started for Eighty-seventh Street He found that she lived on cliffs above the East River, in a model tenement house of tapestry brick and many windows, a hygienic but stern cranny for his flower He forgot clothes.

G4 THE SATURDAY ALEXANDER the GREAT Ordered Shaving to Ensure VICTORY The difficulty of shaving, during the succeeding campaigns, caused much grumbling and at times threatened revolts. In the world-war today clean shaving is ordered for sanitary reasons and to expedite dressing of subse- quent wounds, but largely on account of the bracing effect on the men. On all fronts the man with a Gillette Safety Razor is said to be the most pop- ular man in his squad. In almost every company from a dozen to fifty Gil- lettes are owned and loaned about. The Gillette shave is quick and cool, safe and sanitary. It is velvet-smooth, no matter how wiry the beard or tender the skin.

THE SATURDAY EVENING POST MAXWELL QUALITY BEGINS IN THE LABORATORY y ALITY is inherent. It cannot be acquired by a coat of paint © or any other outside operation. It must be inbuilt. It must be present inside, from the very beginning. It must underlie all else. Maxwell quality has its source in two large and completely equipped laboratories, one located in the Maxwell Factory, Detroit, and the other in our big Newcastle, Indiana, Plant. Judged from the standpoint of modern laboratory apparatus, there is no industrial organization in the country that excels the Maxwell. There are few that equal it. All steels, alloys and other metals are made to our formulas, definitely and accurately deter- mined by our Engineering Department. Then, when these metals are delivered to us in their unfinished state, they must undergo rigid chemical and analytical tests. If they meet our standards, they are accepted. If they do not, they are rejected and returned to the mills. Cabriolet $865 ; Town Car $915 ; Sedan $985, All cars completely equipped, including electric starter and lights.

National Lead Company EVENING POST Only one syllable struggled from the grip of Brink’ s jaws bef ore hismouth wasclamped shut again. His eyes tried to bore through the armor plate of Ward's courage. The old man sat rigid and inscrutable for half a minute. Then his right hand rose slowly to his upper vest pocket and drew out a fountain pen. Ward instantly attached significance to the act. He felt sure the mechanical move ment was a subconscious reflex of Brink’s thoughts. The junior partner’s heart began to throb a diapason of hope. As Bartley construed what he had seen, the self-revealed mind which sent the old man’s fingers to his vest pocket for the fountain pen was balancing a growing inclination to sign a contract now with Howell & Ward, for safety’s sake, against the greed that tempted the president to risk waiting until after the critical to-morrow. Suddenly Brink finished the had started to ask. He roared his demand with a ferocity meant to terrorize by sur prise: question he ‘Then why did you get me over here to-night?” If the old man’s hand had not been clutc! ing the telltale fountain pen Ward would not have dared to flash back the did: ‘Because, if you’re ready to sign a pur chase agreement with us for all your wind- ings, at fifteen per cent advance over our previous quotations, and will deposit ten thousand dollars as an advance Pay ment to show your good faith— which have had reason to question Serer mtg we won't answer he make that exclusive contract with Haenckel & Company this evening. Otherwise we will!” Ward fixed Brink’s eyes with his own, reached into his coat pocket, and passed to the old man a formal tender he had preparea for this crisis. The bony the paper. Brink glared at Ward a minute longer. Then he jerked his head down to read the offered contract. Just at that instant the room burst open. The senior gered in and clicked the latch fingers clut ched door to Howe

melodramatically. His eyes were staring as if he were in a trance. His face w: chalk-white. Howell did not look at Br but stumbled across the rug to Ward *Haenckel & Company accept our propo ition!”’ he gasped hoarsely. He turned and stared at the Then, in evident panic, the senior partner rushed from the room, banging the door alter him Bartley was so astounded th: his brain seemed paralyzed. All at once he surmised that De Reuyter had k the hotel, and that Howell's tension of suspense had snapped the mind of the senior partner after he was left alone. white-faced man looked half crazed when he hoked out his hallucination about Haenckel & Company. Ward guessed that unstrung Howell sud denly was seized in his room by an insane delusion that he had made some dously important deal with the Dutch firm He had run to tell his partner. Then recognition of Brink appeared to shock him back from his temporary lunacy. He fled in a frantic effort to undo the it for severa seconds tremen-

In another minute the hesitating fountain pen would viciously into the was sure 1ave dug Brink’s name paper on the dotted line if Howell’s chalky face had not confessed the truth A second time the door between the part rs’ adjoining rooms burst open and Howe rushed in again. But he did not look de mented now As before, he precautiously clicked the latch behind him Then he dashed exultantly to Ward, waving some

The way you've talked to him made him enthusiastic with regard to the automatic process. And I suppose that, when he saw Brink here with you at the hotel to-night like an old chum, De Reuyter felt convinced we had a contract for all the Consolidated’s orders So ne was eager to tie us up right away as a big cus- tomer for chemicals.” Slowly to the dazed mind of Ward came the re zation that tl! firms hand was not a four-flush after all!

More Profit Out of Power In Over Eight Thousand Factories They Are Using Leviathan-Anaconda Belts N every successful business there seems to be only one man—at the outside but two or three—capable of pulling the business out of the rut of precedent and tradition. liven in the engineering depart- ment—in face of constant ad- vances being made by science in every direction—the tendency is to “‘let well enough alone.’ This is shown in the persistent use of the traditional belting which never gTOWwsS twice alike.

U. when inefhicient transmission 1s wasting a quarter of the power delivered before ever it gcts to work? loo long has belting for trans- mission and conveying been thought of as so much merchan- dise, to be sold by the yard Over any dealer’s counter. Leviathan-Anaconda belts are the sclenuific answer to the power trans- mission problem in nineteen classes of industry. ‘They are in no sense a substitute for New York any other type of belting but are the matertal part of a@ Service which 1s destgned to increase the efficiency of the whole power plant. They are a known quantity. Many of them have been in continuous service thirty years or more. They are various-ply—of solid fabric, impregnated with a special composition, treated, stretched and aged so as to forma pliable belting material well-nigh inde- structible. Their great advantage is due to their being built for their purpose and to the fact that in building them we are not dealing with the variations and uncer- tainties of a matura/ product. Tensile strength, tractiveness, resist- ance to dampness, abrasion and heat, are definitely built into these belts. We produce from the beginning a belt especially adapted to the work it is to do. * * * Most engineers think backward about power transmission. They think from the belt to the work. We think from the work to the belt. That is why we deal direct with customers and why every man who represents Leviathan-Anaconda belts is practically a consulting engineer with belting as his specialty. When the Boss or his engineer gets LEVIATHAN AND ANACONDA BELTS for Transmission, Conveying and Elevating MAIN BELTING COMPANY, Philadelphia Chicago Pittsburgh ready to go into scientific belting and its consequent power saving, he will find in the Leviathan-Anaconda representative a man whose training In engineering prac- tice is as thorough for practi- cal purposes as if five letters were strung after his name His training includes sur- vevs of everv condition under which belts are run. One of the best known efficiency en- ineers in the country makes practice of consulting one of our men when he wants to “buck up’’ a plant. k a a The result of looking into this matter of power saving through the installation of scientific belting has sur- prised many a factory oper- ator. The elimination of stretch and slip the speeding up of machines with no increase of eagine speed and mo more expense for fuel, the saving of time that was formerly taken up in frequent belt dressing, the /omger /ife of belts, their freedom from troubles caused by running in damp, gaseous or hot conditions — these are matters of record in leading plants 11 nineteen of the principal industries 11 the United States and Canada. *K OK ok The engineer who begins to keep records on his belt and gets some of the facts about other plants in his line, will soon have confidence enough in what he knows to steer his own concern out of the rut and set new standards of production. * * aK Our handbook is available to en- gineers and factory men.

Naturally John was exultant over this; but he realized that it was not enough, and as New York drew nearer he was in a state of painful anxiety concerning the Kempner account and concerning the routine conduct of the Consolidated’s affairs Before his departure he had been able to do nothing more toward securing the prospective busi ness of the Wellesville concern than to be speak Judge Baily’s friendly offices and to direct Dalton to keep on the alert. There had been no choice but to leave that vastly important matter to such subordinate in charge of the selling end as he had. For other problems—the vacancy caused by Smythe’s resignation and the direction of the corporation’s daily routine— Hadden had been able to make practically no pro- vision. Because it seemed the only course, he had put Smythe’s assistant, a young man named Scully, temporarily in charge of the purchasing force, and told all his lieutenants that they would simply have to manage as best they could. How well or how badly they had managed he did not dare guess, and or his homeward voyage was impatient jor news. There were countless talks with Tyler Wrenn during that memorable Many an afternoon John and his friend lay in steamer chairs and, while they watched the deck rail seesaw the horizon, roved into the theories of success “Success and usury Wrenn said once; “and big success of any kind is always usurious.” Hadden smiled wanly. “It’s a strange thing,’’ Wrenn went or “that game of giving practically and collecting a thousand per cent no escaping it, though \ body —a single think-piece— is good for just so much.

It doesn’t much mat ter, anvhow Just then John was not interested losophies and creeds as topics of discu He himself had had but one creed the creed of work and he had in the past two years put it to the test. Within a few days he should learn just how t had served hin in the presidency of the Consolidated, and he was carrying a mind too heavy with ur certainty for him to relish abstractions His impatience increased as the voy drew to its end. On the last day he paced the deck, his face stern and set. He knew he was about to get not only the full reckor ing of the creed by which he had str but also that he wa learn whether the high point of his life’s career had already been touched “ate Wrenn, “when you've got to take whatever destiny is made for you by others!” es,”’ returned Wrenn. ‘“‘ Wher grow large it is denied to men to make own destinies for themselves; but it denied to them to choose those who will make their destinies forthem. And the kind of destiny a man then gets depends on the kind of men he has chosen for the making of it.” This set Hadden to weighing and esti mating his men with a new intensity: One loafer— Avery Fennell; two second-rate in dividuals, whom he had got wanted workable tools— Redding and Da ton; anda makeshift in Mortimer Smythe’ place He dug his head a little farther forward between his bent and for the age ver about to horrible,” he observed to Tyler ‘areers the Is not because he shoulders, October 14,1916 hundredt} wheth his or ganizatior a standstill; irge of necessit tum of its and, above all, Dalton had closed the Kempner contract.

Minneapolis, Minnesota EVENING POST Silver has been so thoroughly a by- product in Western mining during the past generation that the West has almost forgot- ten how to figure costs upon it. The latest work on mining costs has little to say on this metal, because silver is extracted from ores worked for the more profitable indus- trial metals—it is the harmless, drudge, to be reckoned with because it is present. Some estimates of cost can be made from the reports of representative mining com- panies A typical copper property is the mountain of low-grade porphyry at Bingham, Utah, a few miles from the Mormon metropolis worked by steam shovels. Last year this mine yielded, in round figures, one hundred and fifty million pounds of copper, three hundred and seventy thousand ounces of silver and thirty-five thousand ounces of gold. The cost of operating was twelve mil lion dollars and the metals sold for twenty seven millions. This gave an all-round cost of less than fifty per cent; and as the silver sol« for fifty cents an ounce its cost might be se at about twenty-three cents. For a typical lead-silver mine, the Bur ker Hill and Sullivan, in Idaho, will do. This yielded last year, in round figures, seventy- five million pounds of lead and one million three hundred thousand ounces of silver Operating costs were about three million dollars and the metals sold for about four millions. With silver at fifty cents an ounce, the cost was thirty-seven cents. All through the West, as the price of sil ver strengthens, there are high-grade silver mines that can be reopened profitably. One property will begin operations when the quotations touch sixty cents; another, at sixty-five; another, at seventy—and so or Just a few weeks ago a New Yorker was astonished to receive a dividend check in the mail from a Western silver mine in which his father invested thirty years ago. The certificate was regarded as worthless and he had often joked about his silver mine out West. But when silver touched seventy cents old Shoestring Silver resumed opera tions and began making money. It is the low-grade by-product silver that has kept the world supplied with the white metal since it was demonetized, however, and these Western conditions are typical of other countries— notably, the great Broken Hill lode, in Australia, one of the most remarkable mineral deposits on the globe, somewhat like the Coeur d’ Alene district, i that it yields a few ounces of silver to the ton of lead and zine ore necessary lf Silver Were Pushed By-product silver has been the salvation of the West when it comes to marketing the metal at a profit. At the same time it has discouraged the development of straight - ver mining by giving the world as much it would use and keeping the price down If silver goes above a dollar, and stays there, the status of the metal will change Not only would that make it possible to work straight silver mines on the old basis of the bimetallic days, but it is said that some of the lead and zine mines in districts like Coeur d’Alene, Park City, Tintic, and so on, would change their character. With sil- ver at a dollar to a dollar and a quarter they could mine it as the main product, making lead and zine by-products. As there is stiff world competition when it comes to mining lead and zine at normal prices, this might be a war benefit held in reserve for the West A good many mining men are counting on it as a “peace speculation.” If silver comes back only to the extent of getting the West thoroughly optimistic about it once more, it may be put on a solid business basis iaesastionel finance knocked the bottom out of the industry, the West has turned to other metals and let sil- ver kick round under foot. There has been very little constructive development, there- fore, in the business of mining and market ing silver If the West undertook to do for silver what it has done for oranges and raisins, it might make a broader market for the metal. Oranges, raisins and other typical products of the West, grown far from the big Eastern consuming population, have been adver- tised and distributed so energetically that the whole country consumes them Silver seems to be the one thing in metals that might be put on the counter in the same way. If it goes to a dollar an ounce, maybe it will be. Watch the West! Editor's Note — This is the fifth and last of articles by James H.

Eldon changed his plan. He would not go to the bank until he learned something about this. He went north of town to the coal fields. The mines were all closed, and they looked as though they had been closed a long time. The small dumps of lirt and stone and slack showed that mining not gone far. Uncle Jimmy’s prophecy had been right. The thing had been a failure from the first. By the middle of the afternoon he had learned a good deal without being recog- nized. He had not been in Coalfield much for ten years. He looked down the street; the move was over. From his back window, about an hour later, he saw Irma Allison go into the garden with a hoe. So she was not married after all!

and studied his exultant face THE SATURDAY eighteen feet of the surface. It has loose dirt above it, and you cannot mine without a roof. An idea came to me while working on the Panama Canal. I came back and got control of the company. I am having some big steam shovels made. One is larger than any used on the Canal—has a ninety-foot beam and wiil lift eight cubic yards of dirt. I will simply strip the dirt off this coal with these big shovels, break up the coal with a few charges of powder, and send smaller shovels along to load it directly into cars. I can put that coal on the track for a dollar and eighty-five cents a ton!” He went into details, giving convincing figures for every step. “Our bank will back you,” said Jones, fully persuaded. ‘You keep us protected by a blanket mortgage on your equipment. But I must O. K. the bills before a check is drawn.” That evening Watts was served with an injunction ordering him to cease tearing up the railroad track of the Western Coal Company. Five days later the injunction was made pe ~~ nt, and Watts ordered to replace the track already removed. Eldon was so jubilant over his victory that he could not stay in town, but tramped off to the fields, exulting in the spring as he used to do in his artist days. Everything was clear now. He had all the financial backing he needed. He had wired for eight more big shovels. The first four would be in operation in two weeks. It was a simple idea, stripping that coal, but a big idea. No mine in the country could get coal into the cars so cheaply as he could in this one. He would take all the local markets, the smelt- ers, the shops, the factories, for a hundred miles, and he would clear fifty to seventy- five cents a ton. One big shovel would strip two or three thousand tons a month. He would increase the number of shovels to forty, sixty, a hundred. Half a million a million—dollars a year clear! He broke into a run across the clover. He threw his arms into the air and shouted. Near the creek he made a dash for the sand bar and turned a handspring. His hands going too deep let him down on his back with a thump. “Ouch!” he grunted aloud. There was a laugh, and he rose up on his elbows. On a rock at the edge of the brook demurely sat Irma Allison, her hands locked round her knees, her hair carefully tucked up, her house dress spotless. Very neat and precise she looked, and sober, ex- cept for the little laugh that lingered as a smile over his mishap. “You must be feeling happy,” she re- marked as he got up and brushed the gravel off his back. “T am,” he admitted, and hopped across the branch and sat down on the gravel near her. “I’m going to get rich. I must tell you about it.” She listened with a curious intentness, looking at the brook most of the time. Occasionally her eyes came round to him for a moment. “Oh, Ben Watts is not the only man who can make money. I've got him beat right now, beat to a standstill!” A smile that might have meant amusement or might have been pity showed on her face, ‘So easy as that?” “Easy! Why, I’ve worked like a mud diver. I’ve schemed and schemed to do it.” The smile deepened and then faded. “TI should not have thought he would have quit soon, if there is so much money in it. No, it was better luck than I expected,’ he admitted, and somehow did not feel quite so jubilant. “Irma,” he asked abruptly, “did Watts give you a picture of himself?” “Yes.” Her eyes leveled at him search- ingly. “‘ Did you paint it?” He nodded. “T thought so,” remarked slowly, and got up. Without a word of parting she leaped the brook and went across the clover fields toward home. “T wonder,” Eldon asked himself, “* that means?” That evening he saw her out in Watts’ new six-cylinder car, and all the exultation died in him. “I guess she does not believe that I have him beat after all,”’ he said bitterly. sO Ben she what x } by ays worked like a demon of unrest for three weeks. The planning and scheming gave him even greater satisfac- tion than the fierce physical labor in Pan- ama had. Everything was going smoothly.

EVENING POST No opposition from anywhere. Things went so smoothly, in fact, that he grew a little uneasy. It was like running a machine across a prairie If no hills are in begins to look for ditches. It seemed impossible that a man could meet such good fortune. It was a good idea, a new, big idea. But for a fellow to start in with nine hundred dollars, and in three months have under way an industry that would yield him half a million clear the first sight one year—that seemed too much. There was something wrong. But figuring could not reveal what it was. In fact, the closer he fig ured the bigger the profits looked; and such things had been done. Men with reall) big ide “as well carried out had made for- tunes suddenly. Several times he had gone to Sam Ander- son's to take up that other hundred shares of stock; but each time Sam happened to be away. Eldon had felt perfectly because Sam’s word was everywhere ac- cepted as good as a government bond. But now as the ninety-day limit drew near he began to get uneasy. The day before the final limit he went to Anderson’s home again. He had gone to Col- orado Springs. Now thoroughly alarmed Eldon took a night train, and next evening secure went to Anderson’s hotel with a thousand dollars in gole “Party checked out half an hour ago,” said the clerk Eldon discovered a ticket back to Coalfield, on the next train. afternoon when he son’s house. door. “I’ve been trying for you that thousand dollars,’ as nonchalant an air as he Anderson had bought and he followed It was five the following rang the bell of Ander- Anderson himself came to the two months to pay said Cy with could assume “What thousand? Oh!” A dim sort of recollection came to Anderson. “About that stock. Why, as you did not get ro und in time I sold it to Watts this morning Eldon went home, shoved his grip on to the porch and sat down on the step without going in. He was tired, and he needed to think, and think hard. They had the major- ity of the stock—and his idea. He mechanically reached out and picked up the little knotted roll of the Coalfield Evening Journal which the boy had just thrown at his feet. On the front page was a black-faced heading, the kind used on an important local event: STATE BANK CONSOLIDATES WITH SECOND NATIONAL BEN WATTS TO BE PRESIDENT OF CONSOLI- DATED INSTITUTION AND C, C, JONES CASHIER The smoothness of the past month was clear now. He had 0 n working for Ben Watts. Watts and Jones had — ratood each other all along. Eldon ided t paper into a ball, flung it violently into a rosebush and got up and went into the old doctor's office. Over the desk was a picture of his father driving the old gray horse. Watts had killed him, broken his heart. Should he let him break the son in the same way? If some enemy had dared him to paint, as Watts had dared him to fight for money, perhaps Eldon would have been a great painter. He did not:stop now to curse the world and his luck; but on the instant there was born or reborn in him the same sort of fierce determination that had made him tackle Panama with his bare hands—and he was not without weapons. He took from a locked desk a dozen papers, and went over them carefully, laying one set to the right and one to the left. There were gaps, but there was no time to fill them, except with imagination—and bluff. Early the next morning he automobile and ran out to the Prairie Coal Company. He asked for a few moments talk alone with Tom Williams, the secretary. Williams, a rather sallow, 1 less chap, was uneasy as they went into the orivennetlien. Eldon took half a dozen legal looking papers from his pocket and sat run- ing over them in silence until he heard Wil- liams shift his feet four times and scrape the rounds of his chair on the floor as he pushed it back. “Williams.” Eldon gave him a sudden drivi ing look. “‘ How de you fancy stripes?” “Fancy stripes!”” Tom tried to laugh. Eldon nodded and tapped the papers on his knee. “Explanations are useless. You know what I’ve been after the last two years. I’ve got them. I’ve got you. And I’ve got (Continued on Page 101) called an assist

One goes out with a bludgeon and steel trap to beat and break other men merely for the satisfaction of piling up money and accumulating brute ir power. Fortunately this class is not com- mon, for men of this ty pe usually defeat their own ends. The other sort play the game for the mental joy of planning and the thrill of victory. Men and money are im- personal things to them, mere figures on the board. They have no desire to hurt their fellowmen, no sordid craving for money itself. They may break many a man in the struggle, but they do not do so willfully, and they never gloat over it. In truth, they play the game with the imaginative and » thrill of a novelist, a poet, an artist or a musician—and often in action they are all four combined. But after victory comes reflection, and when other thoughts creep in they begin to search for meanings. Cyrus Eldon walked his y ~ = it night, and unsatisfied. He had had his hour ef thrill over victory, and it still left a feeling of satisfaction. He knew he had won. He knew that the following day the money would be in the bank for him; that Watts and Jones would sell him their stock at five dollars a share; that in six months forty giant shovels would be stripping the earth from great paths of coal, and the black energy would be loaded into cars and sent hurtling to the smelters and the forges and the shops to help make the world’s red heart beat warm. He knew for that he would be clearing fifty thousand dollars a month, and that his mines would put Watts’ creative restless mine out of business, and that he could crowd his enemy to the wall within four years, if he wished. In all this, events proved he was more than right. Yet he was not satisfied, but with a great distaste and unrest. of the painter was again upon the fever to paint—-he wou was filled The spirit him. Not ld never care to do that—but the yearning for beauty, the hunger for that which was not meat—and coal. And he could not find it. What was victory without a meaning? What was money without compensation? Formerly he had known that inner thrill, that joy in life which made the color of a butterfly wing of more consequence than a gold coin, Why could he not feel it again? His mind slipped back to Watts, the fat, fleshly embodiment of greed and of sordid satisfaction. Yes, he could see noth- ing but Watts; and even in victory the world seemed to him only flesh and ugli- and hell. Up the street in the filmy moonlight came a girl in white, bareheaded and running Even more swiftly did she come than on that other night; even more unhesitatingly did she turn in at the gate. “Cy! Cy!” she cried. She was choking with a sob, and she caught his arm. “I’m sorry! Oh—I'm so sorry !—I've just heard I hate him! I hate him!” “Heard what?”’ He looked down at her and smiled. A big gladness possessed him. ness THE SATURDAY EVENING POST “That they tricked you,” she hastened on vehemently. “And he did it, I believe, because I Papa told me to-nigh how they had got control of your compar and were going to sell you out under mort gage.

104 THE SATURDAY EVENING POST October 14, 1916 You Can’t Take Out ore Than You Put In The storage battery on your car is a wonderful source of electric energy; but the treasure-house is not in- exhaustible. Your storage battery must be regularly supplied with new current or it will cease to give current. If you want long life and good service from your storage battery at mit mum expense, it is very important that you should at all times Know whet! it is fully charged or not. How much electricity is being delivered by the battery to lights and starter? How much is the generator putting back into the battery ? Get a hydrometer and use it at regular intervals, to find out the condition of your battery’s charge. Learn to read the story which will be revealed by testing the output of the generator and the current consumption of the lamps with an ammeter. Willard Batteries are so rugged in construction and so long-lived in service that over 150 car builders put them in all their cars. But any storage battery will finally wear out and have to be replaced. Remember, therefore, that good quality is not all—good care is essential to protect your investment. By all means get in touch with the nearest Willard Service Station at once and let the storage battery expert in charge explain the operation of your electrical system and how you can prolong your storage battery’s life by attention to a few easily remembered details. Write today for booklet A-1, “Are You Starving Your Battery?’’ which explains how any car owner can take advantage of Willard Service to prevent battery troubles and reduce battery expense.

| was cryin’ louder’n ever. Besides them we seen dozens o’ young couples that was still on speakin’ terms, because they’d only been together an hour or two. The girls was wearin’ nice clean white dresses and white shoes, and was all prettied up. They seemed to be havin’ the time o’ their life. And by four o'clock in the afternoon their fingers would be stuck together with crack- erjack and their dresses decorated with choc- olate sirup, and their escorts talkin’ to ’em like a section boss to a gang o’ hunkies. We wandered round till dinner time, and then dropped into a little restaurant where they give you a whole meal for thirty-five cents and make a profit of thirty-five cents. When we'd staggered out under the weight o’ this repast, a street car was standin’ there that said it would take us to the House o David. “Come on!” aboard. “Where to?” she ast me. “TI don’t know,” I says; “but it sounds like a road house.’ It was even better’n that. You couldn't get nothin’ to drink, but they was plenty to see and hear—-band concerts, male and female; movin’ pitchers; a zoo; a bowlin’ alley; and more funny-lookin’ people than I ever seen in ap amusement park before. It ain’t a regular amusement park, but fifty-fifty between that and a kind of re- ligious sex that calls themself the Holy Roller Skaters or somethin’. All the men that was old enough to keep a beard had | one; and for a minute I thought we'd bumped into the summer home o’ the people that took part in Ada. They wouldn’t nobody of ever mistook the women for Follies chorus girls. They looked like they was havin’ a prize contest to see which could dress the homeliest; and if I'd been one o’ the judges I'd of split the first prize as many ways as they was women. “I’m goin’ to talk to some o’ these peo- ple,” I told the Wife. “What for?” she says. “Well, for one thing,” I says, “I been talkin’ to one person so long I’m tired of it; and, for another thing, I want to find out what the idear o’ the whole concern is.” So we walked up to one o’ the most flourishin’ beards and I braced him. **Who owns this joint?”’ I says. ** All who have the faith,” he says “What do they charge a man to join? I ast him. ““Many’s called and few chosen, “How long have you been here?" I ast him. “Prove all things and hold fast to what's good,” he says. ‘Why don’t you get some of our books and study 'em?” He led us over to where they had the books and I looked at some o’ them. One was the Flyin’ Roll, and another was the Livin’ Roll o’ Life, and another was the Rollin’ Ball o’ Fire. “If you had some books about coffee you could make a breakfast on ’em,”’ I says.” Well, we stuck round there till pretty near six o'clock and talked to a lot o’ differ- ent ones and ast 'em all kinds o’ questions; and they answered ’em all with verses from Scripture that had nothin’ to do with what we'd ast. “We got a lot of information,” says the Wife on the way back to St. Joe. “We ord know no more about ‘em now than before we come. “We know their politics,” “‘How?” she ast me. From the looks of ’em,”’ unanimous for Hughes.” We found Bess all alone, lobby o’ the hotel. ““Where’s your honey man?” She turned up her nose. “Don’t call him my honey man or my anything else,”’ she says. “Why, what’s the matter?” ast the Missus ““Nothin’ at all’s the matter,” she says. “Maybe aut a lovers’ quarrel,”’ says I. “No, and no lovers’ quarrel, neither,” says Bess. ‘“‘They couldn't be no lovers’ quarrel, because they ain’t no lovers.” I says, and led the Missus

THE SATURDAY EVENING POST “You had me fooled then,” I says. “I'd of swore that you and Bishop was just like that.” “You made a big mistake,” says Bessi “T never cared nothin’ for him and he neve! cared nothin’ for me, because he’s incapable o’ carin’ for anything— only himself.” “Why, Bess,” says the told me just yesterday mornin’ that you was practically engaged!” “I don’t care what I told you,” **but I’m tellin’ you somethin’ now: I don’t never W ant to hear of him or see him again And you'll do me a favor if you'll drop the subje ct.” oe where is he?” I ast her. I don’t know ‘end I don’t care!’ she Missus, “you she says; says. “But I got to my guest.” “You can have him,” she says. I found him up in his room. The bell boy had got him somethin’, and it wasn’t poison, neither. At least I haven't never died of it * Well, Bishop,” I says, “‘finish it up and come downst¢ airs. Bess and the Wife’ll want some supper.” **You'll have to excuse me,” don’t feel like eatin’ a thing.” “But you can come down and set wit! us,” I says. ‘‘ Bess will be sore if you don’t “Listen here!’’ he says. ‘“‘ You've took too much for granted. They’s nothin’ between your sister-in-law and I. If you've set your heart on us bein’ somethin’ more’n friends, I’msorry. But they’s not a chance,” “Bishop,” I says, It comes like a shock. And to keep myself from faintin’ I took the bottle from his dresser and completed its ruin. “You won't even come down and set wit! us?”’ I says. “No,” says Bishop. ‘And, if you don’t mind, you can give me my ticket back home and I'll stroll down to the dock and meet you on the boat.” , “He re’s your ticket,” says I. ‘And where am goin’ tosleep?”’ he sa “Well,” I says, ‘Tl get you a stats room if you really want it; but it’s goin’ to be a bad night, and if y u was in one 0’ them berths, and somethin’ happened, 1 wouldn't have a chance in the world!’ “You ain’t goin’ to have no berth, your- self?’’ he ast me. “IT should say not!"’ I says. “‘I’m goin’ o get me a chair and sleep in the water- tight compartments.” Boys, my prophecy come true. They was more roll on old Lake Michigan that night than in all them books up to the Holy Roller Skaters’ park. And if the boat was filled to capacity just thirteen hundred of us was fatally ill. I don’t think it was the rollin’ that got me. It was one glimpse of all the Jennies and their offsprings, and the wealthy Greek shoe shiners, and the millionaire truck drivers, and the heiresses from the Lace De- partment— layin’ hither and thither in the cabins and on the decks, breathin’ their last. And how they must of felt to think that all their outlay for crackerjack and apples was a total loss! But Bishop wasn’t sick. I searched t boat from the back to the stern and wasn’t aboard. I guess probably he'd found out someway that they was such an institution as the Pére Marquette, which gets into Chicago without touchin’ them perilous copper ranges. But whether he arrived safe or not, I don’t know, because I've never saw him from that day to this, and I’ve lived happy ever afterward. And my investment, amountin’ all told to just about what he owes me, turned out even better than I'd hoped for. Bess wer back to Wabash that Monday afternoon At supper Monday night, which was the first meal the Missus could face, she says: ‘I haven't got it figured out yet. Bess swears they didn’t have no quarrel; but I'll take an oath they was in love with eact other. What could of happened?” “I know what happened,” I says. “‘ They got acquainted!” find him,” I says. “‘He’s he says. “I “this is a blow to me ’ he } he

| “iii | | I | Old Hampshire Bond, the standard paper for | business stationery, has advanced in price. All | writing papers have advanced, some more than Old Hampshire—none less. | You probably resent an advance in the price ol any commodity. Most people do—we do. But apart from our /ee/ings, the fact is that the Old Hampshire Bond advance is not large. If you use in the neigh- borhood of forty thousand letterheads a year, your supply of Old Hampshire Bond will cost vou about fifty dollars more for the twelve months. Fifty dollars in a year is about a dollar a week—a fair raise for a promising office boy ‘

| Mi | I] In spite of the advance in price, 1916 has been a big Old Hampshire Bond year. 1917 should be a still bigger year. This country is getting ready for a period of great industrial develop- ment. Good will, prestige, reputation, built vow, will pay big dividends in the comparatively near future. Old Hampshire Bond is not used because of some trifling, indefinite advantage its quality gives, but because of its powerful, defmite impression of strength—an impression that most effectively helps to build good will and prestige. The slightly increased cost of Old Hampshire Bond (less than 1/5 of a cent per letter) is not at all proportionate to the value of the distinction that comes from its use. il III Paper of low quality has more than doubled in price. Paper of medium quality has advanced fifty per cent. Old Hampshire Bond is, in proportion, lower in cost than ever before—still this is one of the least important reasons why you should use Old Hamp- shire Bond. Old Hampshire never can be sold on the price basis. The Only Paper
