THURSDAY, AUGUST 5, 1926. L the Nation's Pride -it— <Wr—'iWrAJ'-'V— t-—ly-ty-V—k MEMBER or Democrats Meet In Watertown The Democratic county committee, of which T. Arthur Hendricks, of Wa- tertown, is the chairman, met in that city on Tuesday and named candi- dates for the various county offices to be voted for at the coming election. The complete slate, as endorsed by the committee, is as follows: State committeeman from Jefferson county, Charles ,E. Norris, present state committeeman, and Mrs. Nettie M. Hewitt. Sheriff, Clark M. Stearne, Sackets Harbor. County clerk, Mrs. Catherine Ster- ling, of Antwerp. County treasurer, Newton F. Beebe, of Lorraine. Member of assembly, John B. Smith of Melds' Settlement. State senator, Seymour Eastman, of Ellisiburg. Delegates to the state and judicial conventions wore also selected. Resolutions were adopted on the tleath of Joseph Nellis, of Watertown, and Charles A. Jerome, of Cape Vin- cent, prominent Jefferson county Dem- ocrats. 1926 ONLY COURTESY. There is an old saying \No matter how you do it, it is wrong.\ If Gov- ernor Smith calls on President Cool- idge, it is labeled politics and pub- licity seeking.; if he does not call on the President, it is labeled diM'ourtesy Some newspapers are so partisan that they cannot look a thing squarely in the face. Courtesy would require that the Governor of the state when the President was sojourning within its borders, call upon him and express his pleasure at his being there. That is what Governor Smith set out to do as informally as possible and as one friend to another. The newspaper talk about invitations given, declined, dates changed and the courtesies or discourtesies of the situation is just summer pettifogging. As a matter of feet, the meeting between the Governor and the President resulted in a pleasant luncheon over a nice dis-h of freshly caught fish and a chat that convinced the President of the United States that New York state has pursued a wise policy, in its main- tenance of the Adirondack and Cats- lrill forest preserves and that must have convinced Governor Smith that the distinguished guest of the state •of New York likes his present en- vironment and has done some very successful fishing. Governor Appoints Rome Attorney —o— On Thursday of last week Governor Alfred E. Smith appointed Michael J. Larkin, of Rome, as a supreme i-ourt justice in the fifth judicial dis- trict, to succeed Justice Louis M. Martin, of Clinton, who was obliged to retire on account of poor health. Mr. Larkin will serve until January •I, 1927. Mr. Larkin was born in Rome and had always resided there. He was admitted to the bar in 1901 and up to 1911 was a member of the law linn of McMahon, Mason and Larkin. Kor several years he was the city at- torney of Rome. HOTEL GARLETQ TBI AT LEAST TWENTY ROOMS TO BE ADDED TO THIS POPU- LAR HOSTELRY. The Eagle learns from an authori- tative source that the Hotel Carleton, conducted by Andrew F. Keough, is to be enlarged and made one of the most up-to-date hotels in this section of the state. At the present time papers are be- ing made out to incorporate the Carleton Hotel Company with the Secretary of State, at Albany. This company, which wall be composed of Andrew P. Keough, Mrs. Daisy Keough and William J. Flynn, will issue $30,000 worth of 6 per cent pre- ferred stock, and will build\ a struc- ture of the bungalow type that will contain twenty or more rooms. This building will be modern in every par- ticular and will be a valuable adjunct to the present hotel property, which has thirty-'six rooms. Mr. Keough, who is considered one of the best 'hotel men in Northern .New Yioi'k, will he the manager for the new company and he will have associated with him C. H. Sweet, of Syracuse, who has acted in the capacity of ehef at the Carleton for the past twelve years. The experience of these two men combined will make the Carleton second to none in this section of the country. Cape Vincent for a long time has :ieeded more hotel accommodations and the contemplated addition to the Carleton will fill this long felt want. The Eagle is certain that the people pf Cape Vincent will be pleased to learn that the new company is going to have a hostelry that will be a credit to the village and large enough to take care of the ever increasing tourist business. THE PARTY PLATFORMS. Soon the platform carpenters will be on the job in both parties. The Republicans have some very shaky timoer with which to build. It looks sound enough but when it is tapped it is hollow inside. It does not fool anybody either. The public is familiar with Republican planks in the form of promises that rip out all too easy. An accounting is apt to be asked on some of the old platforms and answered at the polls; so the Re- publican carpenters are trying to choose some nicely veneered timber that won't rub off too quickly, and also varnish up some of the old stuff that got too badly chipped or broken when the pledges were kick- ed around during the legislative ses- sion. The Democratic carpenters have a simple job. The material to be used is sound and does not belie its appearance. A good, workman' like job can and will be clone. \A Thing of Beauty Is a Joy Forever\ BUSINESS JEALOUSY. It often seems as if some people were more anxious to prevent some- one else from making a dollar than they are to make two dollars for themselves. If some one in a town seems to be getting his head up a little above the crowd some people feel inspired by a desire to pull him down. If people fjtart hopeful enterprises, that are a benefit to the community, some people seem at heart to almost wish that those enterprises will prove unsuc- cessful. At least from the way that they harp at them, tihey seem to have no sympathy with the effort. If there are many people in a com- munity who consciously or uncon- sciously share that view it will prove a serious obstacle to the development of that place. We need a spirit of generous satisfaction when we see people getting ahead, and a disposi- tion to use our influence to see that their enterprises obtain good public support. , . ^fc This Is one of the beauty spots of the Sesqui-Centennial International Exposition In Philadelphia. The expo- sition celebrates the 160th annlver- eary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The view shows the tower of. one of the main exhibit build- ings rearing its head up from among the gorgeous landscape which artists have built around the giant structures which house exhibits from forty-three nations of the world. The Exposition continues until December L Both Talk the Same Line The perfect social evening Is where women talk shopping while their hus- bands talk shop.—Dayton News.

On Wednesday morning of ladt week, Mrs. Dora Ryder Favrey, wife of Frank Favrey, of Chaumont, died at the Rest Haven home, in Water- town, following an illness of about a year and a half, her ailment being heart trouble. She had been confined to the home for about a month. Mrs. Favrey, who was 63 years old, was born in the town of Lyme, a daughter of the late Joseph and Lucy Edwards Ryder, and had always re- sided in the town of her bhith.

THE BIGGEST POULTRY SHOW The New York State Fair has the distinction of promoting the largest Poultry and Pet Stock show in con- nection with any fair on the Amer- ican continent. The entries coma from nearly every State in the Union and from some of the Provinces of Canada. It is so Important an exhi- bition in the poultry world that awards are sought by the biggest fanciers in the country. Life's Turning Point in Wonderful Career Shortly after John W. Gates—\Bet- You-a-Mllllon\ Gates—became head of the Illinois Steel company, and was Just coming Into recognition as an important figure in finance, he lost almost his entire fortune through speculation in grain OK. the Chicago board of trade. Though Gates made no mention of his loss to his private secretary until many years later, he made no attempt to keep secret from his wife the details of his reverses. \Dell I guess they got me at last,\ Gates told Mrs. Gates that evening as he unfolded the story of his unfor- tunate speculation, according to O. A. Owen, who was private secretary to the financial wizard, writing In the Saturday Evening Post. \You are not wlilpped,\ she ex- horted. \Your credit and reputation are Intact. I am the only one who knows you are cleaned out. Tell no one else, strain your credit and you can raise enough money to keep you going until the. tide turns.\ That appears to have been the true turning point In the career of \Bet- You-a-MIllion\ Gates. Never again after that time was he within ?50,- 000,000 of doRtlVition, and at the time of his death in 1911 his.personal for- tune aggregated more than $100,000- 000. Scared by Kangaroo An escaped knngaroo, the property oi a retired army ofllcer, enjoyed three days and three nights of liberty at Seattle, Wash. Several people re- ceived nerve shocks by coming face to face with the antipodean visitor. One evening U hopped off a bank Into the glare of an automobile headlight. The driver almost hud a fit, but on opening his eyes the big \Jack rabbit\ had disappeared into the night. Soldier a Good Risk Under favorable conditions of peace the mortality among soldiers Is the lowest In any class of men, says the New York Times, the death rate being only B in 1,000. The placid days of a clergyman's life, compared with that of a soldier, are full of danger; for, proportionately, more than twice as many clergymen die in the course of the year, their rate of mortality being 11 to the 1,000. SPARE THIS TREE The man with the proper civic spirit investigates before he criticises. He takes the trouble to look into the future of his own home town before he condemns it. The trouble with most critics, as with the knocker in this picture, is that they do not know enough about the things they criticize. Constructive criticism is valuable be- cause it carries with it a full knowledge of the situation, but just mere knocking fe ignorance on a rampage. There is nothing elevating or enlightening in continually finding fault, yet the small city frequently has this type of citizen with which to contend; a small minority which thinks the' town is not good enough for them. But if it depended on their efforts, there would be. no town at aE. If you know any one in Cape Vincent who cannot see the advantages of making this a bigger and better town, get him to climb the ladder as our booster friend has done, and maybe he will drop the axe, for he will see fruits galore, enough for him and everybody in town. Poultry Culling Demonstrations The Jefferson County Farm Bureau, co-operating with the Poultry De- partment of Cornell University and the Jefferson County Poultry Associa- tion, will conduct a series of poultry culling demonstrations beginning on August 9. Prof. W. G. Krum, of the Poultry Department of the State Col- lege, will give these demonstrations'. The real purpose of these demon- strations is to instruct the poultry- men hp.w to cull their flocks, and teach they how they m av De a ^ e *° know by external characteristics df the birds, such as color of shanks, beak, ear lobes, and' body conforma- tion, the difference- between birds which are profitable to keep , from those which are unprofitable .and which are commonly termed \board- ers.\ These demonstrations have been very interesting in the past and any person who is at all interested in poultry can by 'attending, one of these demonstrations obtain sufficient know- ledge of this work, so that they may )be able to cull their own flocks, there- by increasing their egg production, as well as saving money from the feed Which' is normally consumed by those cull hens or boarders. In discussing this question, Prof. Krum will ablo bring out points on feeding, housing and general care of poultry, which has some relation to. the boarder nen. . The general public, especially the farm women who have to care for the poultry on their farms, as well as children interested in poultry, _ are cordially invited to attend any one or all of these demonstrations, which will be held as follows: Monday, August 9—9:30 a. m.— farm of W. F. Reese, Black River; 2 p. m.—farm of Arthur Bowman, Pa- melia. Tuesday,' August 10—9:30 a. m.— farm' of H. H. Lewis, North Wilna; 2 p. m.—farm- of J. C. McLeod, Phila- delphia. Wednesday, August 11—9 a. m.— farm of George Wagner, Depauville; 2 p. m.—farm of M. R. Collins, Point Peninsula. Thursday, August 12—9:30 a. m.— farm of Thos. E. Ball, Theresa; 2 p. m.—farm of George Hartman, Browns Corners. .19 The lawn fete of the M. E. church was a decided success. Mrs. George Bates has returned to her home at Kingston. Prof. John Kay was the speaker at the Fox Creek Sunday school Sunday. Miss Grace Richards is visiting at the home of her uncle in Copenhagen. One of the attractions in flowers are the sweet peas in Rev. Nichols' garden. The tennis court on the Baptist property is being used a great deal this season. Mr. and Mrs. Chancy Fox are taking great pleasure with their new Auburn car. The Fox Creek Sunday school will hold a fair on August 20. A big time is expected. The Phelethea class of the Baptist church will hold a carnival on Geo. Mount's lawn August 14. The Misses Blanche Klock, Bell Watham and Eva Rogers have re- turned home from Syracuse. Mr. and Mrs. Irving Cobb, of Her- mon, haVe returned home, after spend- ing a few days with Mr. and Mrs. Brighton Rickett. Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Schanz, of Rochester, are guests of the Rev. and Mrs. Nichols. Mrs. Schanz is a sister of Mrs. Nichols. Mrs. M. Swartwout and daughter, Isabel, of Kingston, N. Y., have re- turned home, after spending a week with Rev. Nichols and wife. Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Popple have returned to their home at Hermon, after a short visit here. Miss Doro- thea Nichols accompanied them. —The condition of the Rev. G. L. Nichols, pastor of the Baptist church, who has been quite ill, is slightly im- proved. The Rev. E. Carleton Dewey, of Canton, supplied the pulpit Sun- day. Mrs. Dewey is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nichols.

Fairburn, Rector. —o—- For the next three Sundays the Rev. John Fairburn's services at the Gape and Millens Bay will be conducted by the Rev. C. C. Bentley, of Olean, N. Y. This is the second year the Rev- erend Gentleman and his wife have come to spend their well earned va- cation. Mr. and Mrs. Bentley made a great many friends on their last visit, and we are sure that number will be greatly augmented this year. Mr. Bentley has been rector of St. Stephen's, Olean, for over seven, years, during which time, he has built up the parish 100 per cent stronger than when he found it. A few figures will substantiate this statment. When he took charge there, were only 500 communicants. Now there are 970, and 2,000 baptized members. He completed a new parish house last year, which cost the sum of $60,000, all of whioh has been paid. During the seven years rectorship, subscriptions to the local parish budget have increased three hundred per cent, and over $4,500 annually has been raised towards outside agencies. St. Stephens has one of the best vested choirs in the whole diocese, consisting of 50 voices, men and women. His activities require the assistance of a curate and a parish secretary, both of whom devote their whole at- tention to the work of the parish. Durinjr his vacation here last year, Mr. Bentley endeared himself and wife to a large circle of friends in St. John's, and rendered splendid help in the services with the present rector. This year he will officiate three Sun- days while the Rev. John Fairburn and wife go on their vacation. A full program of the services herewith fol- lows: August 8—Early celebration a t 7:30 and morning prayer and sermon at 10:45. Subject, \Why go to church?\ August 15—Early celebration, 7:30 and morning prayer and sermon at 10:45. Subject, \The greatest evil of all.\ August 22—Early celebration, 7:30 and morning prayer and sermon at 10:45. Subject, \The new idea of sin.\ In addition to the above services, the Rev. Bentley will conduct ser- vices at Millens Bay each Sunday morning at 9 o'clock, with Holy Com- munion on Sunday, August 8. During their vacation, the Rev. and Mrs. Bentley will make their domicile in the beautiful cottage, on Broadway, owned by Mrs. Saunders, of Water- town. St. John's Sunday school is taking a recess during the month of August. It will reopen the first of September. The net proceeds of the Lawn Fete of St. John's amounted to approxi- mately $500. The only celebration of the Holy Communion at St. John's during Au- gust will be at 7:30 each Sunday morning. BIGGEST MACHINERY SHOW The largest display of mechanical farm equipment will be on display at the New York State Pair this year, August SO to September 4. Secretary J. Dan Ackerman reports that prac- tically all. of the space allotted to farm machinery has already been taken. Labor saving equipment which lightens the farmer's work and makes it possible to cultivate more acreage will be shown In abundance. The dis- play will be the largest shown at any State Fair or at any single exposition of its kind. NOTICE OF COMPLETION OF AS- SESSMENT ROLL.

Origin of Eskimos Dr. H. Elnk, who made a life study of Greenland and Its people and Is the greatest authority on them, held that most Eskimo weapons and Imple- ments are of American origin. He advanced the theory that even though the Eskimos originally may have come from Asia, they developed as a race In the Interior of Alaska, whence they finally migrated northward and spread out along the coast of the loe sea. He said that their speech Is closely con- nected with the primitive dialects of America, while their legends and cus- toms resemble, nr at least suggest, those of tlic Tndlf'ns.
