One of them is Besâ€" sarabia, a country ‘formerly Russian, now Roumanian, and a region which promises to be the Alsaceâ€"Lorraine of eastern Europe for some time to mot visien war breaking out between any of these nations so soon after the close of the great war. But we do not understand the hatreds and the fears which these nations bear for one ‘another. The atmosphere of inâ€" trigue in which they live is entirely foreign to America, and not underâ€" standable here. Because we know so little of these things is all the more reason we ought to be thankful that â€"by avoidâ€" ing entangling European commitments we are not in danger of becoming inâ€" volved in any of them. War between Russia and Roumania, between Poâ€" land and Lithuania, between the Serbs and the Buigars or the Serbs and the Italians might be a local affair, but the chances are that, because of the interlocking complications, the trouâ€" ble would spread just as it spread in 1914. "During May and June last year we had abnormally high rainfall, but only 5 per cent of it fell during profâ€" itable hours." For this reason and because we are not directly interested in any of the territory involved we ought to be grateful that we are not committed to take sides in or to help solve any Dealer Tells Interesting Facts About This Kind of Busiâ€" ness, in Magazine old clothes and carry an umbrelia. â€" 'lfkn;nhtvwn’l:n-ndbm may stop in a store on yout way from the train to your office and buy a gin is scant and you just hurry along without stopping.

This period of deceit and fraud has beeh followed by competiâ€" tion over the quality of ‘gasoline, and some of the big companies have proâ€" tected their reputation by sealing tanks after they have filled them. In other cases the gasoline has been colâ€" ored in order to distinguish it. "Tricks of the trade" have run the gauntlet of time in all industries and all lines of business, and evidently the gasoline situation has greatly imâ€" proved. Firemarks, now in such demand as antiques, were then used on insured houses to distinguish them from those of the uninsured so as to make sure of protection. The mark of the Contributionship is directly traceable to ‘the Handâ€"inâ€"Hand company of London which was established in 1696. The English company used two clasped hands. The design was changed by the Contributionship inâ€" to the Ladyâ€"toâ€"London or Saddle Seat grip which is practically unbreakable.

These were the outstanding feaâ€" tures of the opening of bids for 3,â€" 600,000 barrels of cement by Col. C. R. Milier, director, Department of Public Works and Buildings, and Frank T. Sheets, chief highway enâ€" gineer, Division of Highways. Representatives of seventeen of the leading Portland Cement companies were in attendance at the opening of the bids. Individual companies exâ€" pressed a willingness to supply from 500,000 to 3,600,000 barrels of ceâ€" ment, the full estimate of the Diviâ€" sion of Highways. The estimate for 1927 is practicalâ€" ly 100,000 barrels in excess of that used in 1924 when 1,230 miles of hard rgad were constructed in the state.
