Longevity . . . cf newspapers
Per 50,000 consctutivc- dfiys, ex
elusive of Sundays, th London Morn
ing Post has never failed to appeal
?since it was founded in 1772. This
is the oldest daily newspaper, in tin
world that has been a daily since il
was founded. There are one or tw<
newspapers in Air: erica which an
older, hut they were weeklies foi
many years before they became
dai ies.
I know of nothing that is harder
to kill than a newspaper. I have had
occasion to make a list of American
newspapers more than one hundred
vrars old and was amazed to fin*1
'.hat there ai-e nearly two hundred -of
them. That is prob:4)ly more survivor*
than there are in any othrr line of
Wsiucss. Without exact figures at
'land, I venture the guess that there
are nowhere near two hundred bus
inesses or industries in the Unite*1
States .tint have survived a century
>f uninterrupted activity.
Scot:h . . . buy our bonds
I (fined the other night with tin
European representative of an im
portant Americafi financial institu
tion, over here, on a vacation. 11;
told me that it was 'the canny Scotch
men who are responsible for the pre*
ent activity in the bond and stock
(itai'ket ill the United States.
Edinburgh is the headquarters of
a large number of British investment
trusts. Atong in the early part of
the summer the managers of these
rusts, looking for ?sound investments
observed that conditions seemed to
!>e improving in the United States,
that there was no longer anv fear of
?* -v ? ?
.>tir monetary stability, that some
Mimuodity prices were beginning to
rise aid that broad plans for tin? re
habilitation ?f the financial situa
tion were beginning to operate. .
At the same time they noted tha*
American securities, particular's*
bonds, were selling > at ridicu'ously
row prices, so tne.V negari to buy tjiem.
They bought, and they kept on buy
ing, and in a mouth or so their buy-)
?ng began to affect the Wall Street
securities market and American in
vestors began -to Pa' low tkeir ex
amine.
So my friend to'd me.
Power . . . inside the earth
Some day we will get a large part
of our heat and -power without us
ing any fuel at all. In Ita'v more
thau 12,000 kilowatts of energy arc
generated by the heat obtained b\
drilling holes into volcanic moun
tains. Tn Sonoma, Ca'ifornia, tin
iteam from geysers is utiized to pro
duce almost as much energy.
The late Sir Herbert Parsons, in
ventor of the steam turbine, worked
out a plan for boring a hole for
twenty miles or more into the hot' in
terior of the earth and proved .to th ?
satisfaction of many engineers that
its cost would he more than repaid by
the continuous supply of heat am'
power which would thus be obtained.
We haven't as yet begun to mov?
than scratch the surface of this old
earth's possible sources of wealth.
Pigeons . . . extinct passengers
Every little while some sportsman
or naturalist reports having seen a
live passenger pigeon. On investiga
tion, however, it, always turns out
that the bird was a mourning dove,
which is a smaller bird. ,
One hundred years ago, in 3832
Alexander Wilson, a famous natural
ist, saw at Frankfort, Kentucky, a
flock of passenger pigeons a mile
wide and so long that it took four
hours to cross the town, flying at the
rate of a mile a minute. He estimated
' K t. .
that there were more than two mil
lion birds in this one flock. A hun
dred years earlier an observer in
Pennsylvania reported that tlie pas
senger pigeons alighted in such num
bers on trees as to break the branch
OS off.
Tlio last known individual passen- [
'jror pigeon died in the Cincinnati
Zoological Park in 1914. The extinc
tion of this bird is supposed to he
due to their wholesale slaughter hv
hunters. Tn 1879 passengers pigeon*,
void at retail in the Cliicigr> mar
kets for sixty cents a drtren ffirtd ?
hov with ft shotgun could mal e $lf
a tiny hy killing them, even af that
price.
This is only one of the forms of na
tive wild life which, like tlie buf
|faIo, have utterly vanished from the
t
HOOVER or ROOSEVELT . . . Which?
One of these two candidates is going to be president of the United States ,
( for the next four years. Which one will it be? No man knows, but . .
the nation-wide straw vote by subscribers to weekly newspapers throughout
the country will show pre-election sentiment in small town and rural
America. This newspaper is conducting a straw vote in this territory. Gip
the straw-vote ballot in this issue, vote for your favorite and send
it to this newspaper. It is a secret ballot and incurs no obligation.

DEMOCRATS S11U
JUBILANT OVER THE
MAINE ELECTION
Washington, D. C., September 28.?
The principal question which is be
ing asked in political circles it:
"What does the result of the Maine
election mean?" It is an old saying,
"as Maine goes so goes the Union."'
The Dmocnats are jubilant be
cause they say that it means that
Roosevelt will carry Maine and a
lot of other Republican states. Re
publican managers are downhearted,
but are trying their best to prove
to themselves or to others that the
Maine election means nothing of the
sort.
The election of Governor in Maine
has always been held in September,
because by the time November comes
around a good deal of the state is
usually snowed in and it is difficult
tor the voters to get to the polls.
Maine elected a. Democratic Gov
ernor and three Democratic Congress
men out of four at the election on
September 12. Maine being the old
est prohibition state, having "gone
dry" way back in the 1840 's, a good
many commentators interpret the
Democratic success as meaning that
the people of Maine have tired of
prohibition. But in answer to that the
Drys point out that the only Repub
lican Congressman elected was in tho
district which includes the city of
Portland, the largest city in the state
and that this particular Congressman
happens to be a dry and if any part
of Maine were to vote against pro
hibition, it would be expected to be
its largest city.
Presidential elections are always
complicated in many states by the
local elections for Governor and
other state officers. And it often
happens that even when the elec
tions are held on the same day, the
candidates of one party for gov
ernor will be elected while the other
party carries the state on the Pres
idential ticket. That happened in
New York State in 1928, when Roose
velt, a Democrat, waa elected Gov
ernor but Mr. Hoover earned the
^tate for President.
Washington was greatly amused
by the insistence of the Republican
managers, who rushed to the White
House as soon at the Maine results
were known, that the President must
get out and stump the country. But
after thinking it over Mr. Hoover de
cided to adhere to his original pro
gram of making only two or three
speeches during the campaign.
SEE NEED OF MUCH RELIEF
WORK DURING THE WINTER
Washington, D. C. Sept. 28. ? As
Washington views the national fit
nation, the United States is likely
to faro greater demands than ever
daring the coming winter, for help
for those out of work. No matter
how speedily business and industry
may pick up, it will take not less
than a year, and perhaps longer to
get the wheels of prosperity tnrning
fast enough to take care of every
body who had a job three years ago
and who hasn't got one now.
Newton D. Baker, former secretary
of War, has l>ecn appointed by th?
President to head the national un
employment relief movement. The ot
gaiiization of relief agencies on a
larger awl more effective scale than
evci before is now under way under
Mr. Baker's direction.
