Alter iweuty-six years of success¬ ful oijeraliou, the "Iteui" has como into our pcsbession, backed by a most honorable cureei'.
ll is customary, and our subscrib ers aro entitled to kuow, (tor tliey are the bone and sinew  of our  successj what the luture policy of lhe "Hem' will be.
Kirsl we will have this to say—we will at all limes endeavor, iu every couceivabij manuor, lo ment the couiiuenaal.ons of our readers and Hiuir suyyorl, by supiilying ihom a newapapei' so newsy, so auraclive, 80 dependable aud ot such a good all- rouuU ualiire, as wiil mako for the advaucement of our lowu aud re¬ dound to the credit ot our Couuly. Our newo will always be lUe latest, sirualy dupeudable aud rel.able. NolUiug will bo published lhat lU any way isavors ot the sensai.onal, lho improbable or the impossible. Wheu you see it in the "Iteui" you may believe it, for it will be so. That will be our slogan, aud il will rigidly adhered to at all limes. A clean, reliable, readable shoot is our aim, and w.th your help we will keep i'up lo tho high standard set for us by our preuecesson.
We ask lhat you all help us, tor we ueed y<iu. L,ot us pull together aud extend mutual aid lo each olher. We waul your tneudshii), lor evory¬ body needs frieuds, aud wo are no Uilterent trom anybody else. Our frieuds, you kuow, cau, aud do add more to the sum tolal of the richness and happiness ot existence Ihan all the wealiu in the world, tor a%roup of tired antl trusted frionils is an as¬ set more vilua:jlo than all lho world¬ ly possessions. Our frieuds will give us ideaa, aud ideas are the origi¬ nal [¦•"•(Ses of all the wealLh lhal is creaied.
Our friends will rofrosh uur minds aud il is only whon the mind is re¬ freshed lhal it can do its best work.

We are ail too prone to forgot tho many blessings ot this world, in our chase after tiie elusive, almighty dol¬ lar, and conclude this world is sordid. That is rauk pessimism and is a fault we inle»d to ayoid. The panacea, to our mind. Is work—good, hard, sturdy work, and when we work we are working tor you, consc(iuently we will bolh be benefited, for you will be giveu tho results of our toil and we will receive the beuelit and tatisfactiou lhat comes wilh the knowledge of having dono our very best tor you, and merited your good will.

Tho news of his death came as a great shock to his man friends, most of whom did not know that he was ill. Ho was 41 years of age. At the timo of his death he was superinten¬ dent of the Stockertown Potash Works. Ifc first came to Xa/areHj about twenty yoars ago as a draughts-man with Robert K.

KNOW ViCISSITUUhS OF LIFE
French  Art  Models  Make the  Best of
Existence, Which Is Not Always
a Merry One.
"At twilight from out quaint doors ond old courtyiirils troop the models, suddenly enllvenlug street corners.
"Heneath their smile, their light man¬ ner, their gay silhouette lie, neverthe¬ less, a grim knowledge of what life contnln.s. They know tho long hours wheu with aelllng back and muscles they must sland In a given pose, of¬ fering their luiiunldlity to sludeiils or to trained masters. It Is not an easily acquired profession. To pose succesiifully, one must have imagina¬ tion us well n.s disciplined body ; one must be able to beeonio the tangible cxi)resslon of au esthetic Idea. They know that the artist who ifses them bids thom farewell and gois his wuy. They know the seasons when work Is scarce. They realize the cost of broad, tho cost of finery. Their standards ure modest enough. One certainly cannot become very rich or reckless by pos¬ ing ; but, then, one does not associate wealth with art Ists or, for that mat¬ ter, with any form of serving thein. These kind-Iu nrted children of Mont- purnnsse ndjust their demands to the artist's pocketbook. Tliey kuow that, whenever lie Is able, ho will share with them whatever good comes to him. He will give them smnll gifts—a cov¬ eted ribbon, a now hat, a pair of slip¬ pers—he will Invite them to dinner or offer a round of aperitifs at the lltUe cafe on the corner, often he will treat them to a day in the country. No price Is too high or too low for the fellowship  Involved.
"Instinct hos banded them together, has brought them from dull uud love¬ less homes, fiom the lowest ranks of the wage-earner, from country village where art Is considered ungodly, from parents who In their day were also models, to meet nnd mingle In this spe¬ cial world on the left bank of the Seine."—Maurice Rutledge In tlie Century.

It Is usually with considerable dls- appolutment that the womuu born In August learns that her birthstone Is the surdouix, und even the fact that tliat stoue Is said to Insure conjugal felicity does not entirely make amends for the fact that It Is not ranked ns one of the precious stones and la not a gem of grout beauty.
But with the revival In Interest In cameos no Augiist-born womuu iwlth a real taste for beautlfal obJoctyOf art ought to wish for auy other birtfistone, an exchange says. Sardonix It Is lu the old lists uud sardonix it ought to remain In spite of the newer lists that huve been made to give everyone an attractive gem. The sardonix has al¬ ways been a favorit(> stoue with cameo engravers. If jou recall your trip through the Vatican galleries when you were in Itome, perhaps you re¬ call seeing there the fauums Curpeg- na cameo, said to bo the largest work of Its kind ever accomplished. It rep¬ resents the trlumiih of Uasshus and Ceres and Is worked ou a sardonix stone f f live layers, each layer con¬ tributing part of the color to the cameo, which measures somewhat more thun a foot square.

Man's  Inherent   Instinct for  Comrade.
ship   Renevyed   in  th,e  Stress of
the  Great Conflict.
One Ilf the most affecting and Inspir¬ ing side issues of the wnr Is the re¬ vival of man's inherent Instinct for comnideshii) nnd all that that Implies In Its more fiiiidiimental nsiiects. We Illlike friends ovon under our luxurious civilization. But what Is that comrxired lo the sense of coinraileship develiqiod under the fire of great guns, gas liiiinbs and nil the destructive engines of warfare? <^»nce more the ancient loKonds of sacrlflci' nf friend for friend are made renl anion;; men in whom the prlnillive vlrlues were stifled not so long as-'o hy the materialistic impulses of an unherolc period. In a very mild way this Is lllustrati'd by this semlhii- niorous extract from a letter to the Vigilantes, nproiios of Miss Lyrich's trip to the Frencli front:
"Our cl I'tour. gray-linlred nnd henvlly built, had been nudiillzed for this ernployineut. At the hottest point of very hot road, with the .sun In the zenith, the dust choking remonstninees, of course the tire burst. He put him¬ self to work, the perspiration, accord¬ ing to scriptural injunction literally pouring in rivers from his face nnd head. The sigh with which he necom¬ pUshed his work was more exiiressive than nny Anglo-Saxnn sigh I ever lis¬ tened to. A half mile or so further nlong «o came uy) with a car that had proudly passed us, nlso with n punc¬ tured tire, lloiqiintr from his seat our chauffeur put on the second tiro and when he cnme back to us exiilulned that he did it because his conipanion chauffeur had a little touch of heart trouble. If he we."e hot nnd tired be¬ fore, Imagine his plight nfter this sec¬ ond elTort. but not a word of comiilalnt, just the smile of 'camaraderie' nnd we who had been inclined to grumble a bit nt this felt 'suddenly ashamed aud re¬ lapsed Info nn admiring silence."— From the Vigilantes.
ABILITY ALLOWED TO WASTE
Want Better Service.
Messrs. Thomas Keller, chairman. Floyd Ilji'.ck, Russel Stout, Harvey Puss and G. Reimer, composed the committee which went to Ailentown to confer with ofllcials of the Lehigii N'alley Ti-insit Company concerning llie servico between Xazareth and Hethlehem. They saw superinten¬ dent Sprint; and road superinten- (ient Knan.ss. The trolley offlcials asked the local men to be patient for awhile, they had all they could do at present. '1 hey expect to receive a number of new cars soon, and prom¬ ised that they would soon be in shape to give better service. Local em- I'loyes of the Rethlehem Steel mill, will therefore, not bring any com¬ plaint before the Public Service Com¬ mission at this tlmo.

Presently, however, the war brought about a shortage of food nud anotlier day the keeper opened the door of the cage. "Come out I" he commanded. "We can't feed you any longer and .so we're going to shoot you."

Cat and Snake Pals.
One of the most novel friendships ever known Is creating wide interest In Pomona, CaU and the surrounding vi¬ cinity.
It Is the friendship of a small black cat and a lurge bluck garden snake on the mnch of Oeorge Warner, who lives a short distance from Pomona.
Warner discovered the friendship several months ago after noticing bis cat made a regular morning visit to an old dugout on the place. Following tbe animal he found It wns met by the snake und the two played together for half an hour or more. Warner followed the cat every day and witnessed a friendly frolic between the two.
Wnrner hns become so Interested In the unique situation of a cat und a snake bocuniing "pals" that he has posted notices on the ranch lhat only rattlesnakes ure to be killed, lest somtHiue inadvertently kill the cat's friend.

Situation   Exists That   Is  Not  Flatter¬ ing   to   the   Inteliigence   of the World.
For some reasons It Is fortunate that we do not, as a rule, appreciate how much ability is wasted in this world, remnrlis the Boston Xev,-s and Courier. If we did our oiiliiion of man's intelligence would not be very flattorint, to say the lenst. On the other hand, however. It Is quite prob¬ able thtit If w(> (ibi realize something of the vast amount of ability tbat goes to waste we would do nil we could personally to check this loss. A large i..irt of this wasliige is nccounl- ed for by the fnct thut there are a great many [lersons who unconscious¬ ly and yet most ean tiy develop their wi^nkest Instead of thoir strong¬ est faculties—unconsciously becnuso they are entirely Ignorant of their real posslbiljtles, earnestly becnuse they are try'ng to do tbeir best with the limited means nt their conimand. Of course, many of these persons, will¬ ing workers though they may be. aro not able to tell in whnt direction their talents He because they enter Into the serious business of muklng a liv¬ ing with untrained minds nnd try to dig success out of whatever comes to hand flrst. They do not take the time to decide In what direction their natural bent lies, either through lack of opportunity or failure to appre¬ ciate the necessity for doing so; con¬ sequently, they are all at sea for a while and work with only a small | percentage of efflciency. If Indeed, with ' any  worthwhile results at all.

HOTEL BUSINESS
DID NOT PAY
The Place Is Closed Tight, Former ~ Proprietor Returns Key to Owner ol the Property I
SPLIT W STATE PLANS
Unable to bear up under the strain
of high prices, the Centennial Hotel.
\ at Stockerlown, this counly, has gone
i under.     The   place   is   closed   tight.
I Harry Ka'ber, proprietor of the hole.
has moved out and sent  tho key  to
lhe  premises     to  the  owner    of the
I.roiierty,   Max   Goldstein,   of   Alle..
lown.
Karber told his friends tliat there was no longer a living at the hole' Ho did not even wait for his licenses to expire, out closed the doors and shut up t'.e business. "Lhiuors of ill kind cost so much and are sold at such a narrow margin that the business ilidn't pay. Since the re¬ tail prices of bar whiskeys, gins, mixed drinks and wines wont up, the trade decreased stoadily," he is said to have ('onlided to a triend.
This is tlie flrsl place in North ampton County, or in fad this part of the State, as far as is known, that I as gone under since the lasl war laxes were put on alcoholic liquors of all  kinjs.
Farber s action in closing the ho¬ tol will deorive the place of a license for nexl yoar at least, probably for¬ ever, it is 3a'd. His admission that Uie patronage of the hotel teli off is regarded p.s prima facie evidenc" tl.at public necessity for the placo does not exist.

His Faith Vindicated. Mnrainatsu San. a converted ex con¬ vict and manager of a home for dis¬ chnrged prisoners at Kobe, receitly needed to make a trip to Tokyo, but hild only 35 cents toward his fare. With faith in God, he nevertheless started for the station. One tram de- jinrted without him, but when time for the next arrived, it brought a mission¬ ary who, greeting Mr. Mariimatsu, said to him : "P,y the way, I have been in¬ tending for some time to band you this $5 for your work." Mr. Miirumutsu's faith was vindicated.
Put Outside the Law. The strangest puiiishniont wblch still survives in Greut Britain under modern law is that of "outlawry." About ten years ago a lawyer charged with forging a check was "outlawed" In the Glasgow high court. P.y this sentence the person of the accused is declared forfeit. He cannot bear tes¬ timony In a court, nor sue, nor defend nn action. He cannot act on a jury, nor vote nt an election, nor act ns tu¬ tor or guardian to another iierson. If anyone robs him ho has no redress.
Fuel Value of Woods. Hickory, oak. beocli, birch, hnrd ma¬ ple, ash. olm, locust, long-leaf pine and cherry have fairly high heat values, nnd only one cord of seasoned wood of those species Is required to equal one ton of coal. Hickory, of the non- reslpous wo,ids, has the highest fuel value per unit volume of wood, and has other advantages. It burns evenly nnd, as housewives sny, holds the heat. The oak comes next, followed by beech, birch and maple.
Cancer Not Hereditary. According to the latest statistics of six large life Insurance companies, compiled by an expert actuary for the Amerlcnn Society for the Control of Cnncer, if one or even both of an Indi¬ vidual's parents have died of cancer, that Individual Is no more likely than anyone else to die of the same disease. It begins to look as though cancer were not hereditary at all, contrary to an¬ cient belief.
