It looks like Batesville is going to have an old-time religious awaken ing. The citizen who deals in petty per sonalities can hardly make a success of any tort of business. With war on every side of us, we of this country should be thankful that there is a man at the helm as president who has so far succeeded in keeping us at peace. County supernitendeney of schools would mean volumes to every single community of Independence county, and those who are interested in the welfare of our schools are striving to have, it adopted in Independence county this year. It is in operation in a number of counties in this state, and the fact that it has nowhere been repealed after it has once been adopted is pretty-good evidence that it is a success. Vote for county su perintendency Saturday. THE PLODDER WHO WINS. Have you ever noticedhow many "smart” people amount to anything? The “slick” individual you meet— they do not seem to get anywhere. The fakers are the “smartest” peo ple on earth, but you have never known one to get very far on the road to success. Take the “smart” girl. She seems to know everything on earth. She dresses a little louder than other girls. She always manages to wear something that is “chic.” She has the boys hanging around her in groups. She talks in terms that the plainer girls cannot understand; but After on in life she will be found putting up a terrific fight against time while the girl who was not nearly so smart is occupying a posi tion of dignity and joy at the head of a sensible home. And as for the smart boy—the one •who “gets by” in a manner the other boys cannot understand, and who may for the time being be envied by the other boys because of his foppish manners—he doesn’t become the head of a prosperous business. It is the plodder that seems to get T i f 1 IF ■■■ Pure Food 9 The instant food is ripe it is ready for decay, v but it will never decay in a Herrick Refrigerator 1 for it is kept pure in a cold dry air circulation until '*you are ready for it teepir., . Why use an ice box or a cheap refrigerator , wjth its damp walls and mouldy unsanitary cor ner? just because it keeps ice? j-' k, Don’t try to make out with the one you have juift because it does fairly well; trade it off, we'll alT&w you a fair price. en/rou run no risks with a Herrick refrigerator so iwe have been showing for the past ten days jul^ what it will do. You will be perfectly safe in buying one, for you will find them economical in JI th^ saving of both food and ice, but beat of all, j everything you eat that comes out of a Herrick will M be absolutely t>ote, sweet and clean. la.

Probably not 1 per cent of the successful men in the world today gave any evidence of having great ability when they were “kids.” The prodigies do not makegood. The “exceptiona”’ youngster in school seldom conquers after he has entered real life; but the plain fel low of common sense, slov^ to learn, slow to become enthusedr 8 1° W to make companions and slow to give them up—the fellow who sticks to a job until it is finished, that is the fellow who in after life rules and regulates the affairs of this little green ball. SEA WARFARE VERY ACTIVE. Hard Battles Also on Land Both in the East and Went With the Advantage With Teutons. Hostilities by land and by sea are proceedings vigorously. Battles are in progress at various points along both the western and eastern lines, German submarines continue their sinking of ships, and a British tor pedo boat has been sent to the bot tom by striking a mine in the North The hardest battling continues in the Carpathian region, whore the Austrians say the Teutonic allies continue to make progress. Petro grad, while admitting heavy fighting is going on, asserts the attacks against the Russians between the Vistula and the Carpathians have had not success, that the Teutons have also suffered enormous losses and are showing signs of fatigue. Berlin says the important part of Libau, on the Baltic, has been taken by the Germans, and that in so doing German sea forces bombarded Li bau. Petrograd admits torpedo boats shelled the port of Libau, but adds that one of the hostile craft was sunk. Artillery engagements have taken place along the whole front in France and Paris records a French advance on the right bank of the Fecht river, about two-thirds of a mile I over a front of nearly a mile in the I direction of Metzeral. I The British destroyer Maori struck । a mine in the North sea, off Zeebrug ge, and foundered and while boats : from the destroyer Crusader were । endeavoring to rescue the men of the ' Maori, German batteries opened fire ।on the Crusader and forced her to | abandon her own and boats of the 1 Maori. The Germans took seven of-’ fleers and 88 men as prisoners to Zeebrugge. The British steamer Truro and Don have been torpedoed and sunk by German submarines. The Chinese government has ac ceded to the modified demands of Japan and it is believed that the ten sion between the two countries will be relaxed. A statement from the white house that President Wilson is considering very calmly the action to pursue with regard to the sinking of the Lusitania. “He knows.” the state ment adds, “that the people of the country wish and expect him to act with deliberation as well as with firmness.” MANY fiDSE LIFE 1$ TRAGEDY (Concluded fc>m Page L) of women and children. Many of them wen picked up tight-locked in each other’s arma. : after the sea mas sacre. Between the lines of corpses weeping women fond grief-tom men who make no effort to still their sobs, go slowly peering beneath en shrouding sheets to find their dead. As an example of the confusion, which has swept not only the surviv ors, but also the officials off their feet, the body of Charles Frohman, the noted New York and London theatrical magnate, lay uncovered for hours among more than 100 others before identification was made by an acquaintance. Most of the others are still unidentified. The work of compiling a list of survivors necessarily is preceding slowly because of the confusion. Steamship and government officials and the American consul’s office are swamped. Apparently, however, first cabin passengers are among those saved. The work of identification neces sarily is slow bheause many of the victims appear to have no friends or relatives among‘the rescued. Many of the bodies ar* those of babies. At the Cunard wharf lies the body of a mother clasping .‘in one arm her five months old child.. The hotels are filled with half clothed, half-crazed men and women. Many have lost 'all their valuables and have no money. Their clothes went down with the ship and many half stripped themselves for their battle with the sea. Relief is being organized as quickly as possible. Some have cabled to their homes for money. Many of those in the steer age lost everything and have no prospect of getting funds. Women in men’s great coats, men in uniforms loaned them by rescuers some in blankets, are to be seen in the streets. The bodies of several handsome young American women are lying in the market hall uniden tified. The funerals of a large number of the victims will probably -be held Monday. The entire city is "draped in mourning.
