At Jhfeinigbc Mr. H u g h e s seemed elected beyond a shadow o f a doubt, and every newspaper so announced the result* New York had gone to him by an overwhelming majority, carrying with it New Jersey and Connecticut Illinois and Indiana were Republican, Xhe old alignment o f states which had • decided .so many presidential elections had given its electoral votes to Mr. Hughes; and apparently President Wil­ son was hopelessly beaten. Por half a century these five states had been the United States In a na­ tional election. Their voice was the voice o f the Union. With these states' ,secure Mr. Hughes’ election was a mat­ ter only of majorities; • Then something happened—the west spoke.. Slowly the east came to a reali­ zation that Mr., Hughes was not elect­ ed; Everything was In doubt. The swing wga- toward President Wilson. Kansas had. followed Coldrado and Ne­ braska Into the Wilson column. Utah, Idah<*ftndWyoming had followed Mon­ tana and ,NeVada. Washington was Democratic, with California turning to ’ Wilson apd Oregon hanging in the bal­ ance. , Later It became- apparent that the ' ‘ issue rested wholly with the west and j . that the west would determine wheth- j er President Wilson was defeated or re-elected.

Prom fell accounts It appears that the Mends o f good public roads in this country arc satisfied that im-- pravement, o f the - highways has pro* j greased and is pro- Praetioally th* grossing rapidly. Wholo Country Is An official state* Co-operating In ment shows that ,th* Good Road* there wCre copn- . Building. * tr? roads amount­ ing t o . 2,452,000 mileage the first o f the year. Above 10 per cent o f the mileage, or 277,000 Utiles, to be exact, had received some ■set o f surfacing.' This- surfacing is going on a t the rate o f 16,000 miles •ech year. The total cash outlay for building and repair o f roads and bridges in the United States increased in * period o f' eleven - years ending with 1915 about 250 per cent The average per mile in 1909 was $28, and It lS noW glOB. ^Of course automobile traffic Is an inspiration- for better roads. It 'hi said that there is a car in operation for every mile of road, good or baOL And at the present time motor traffic Is greater than was traf­ f ic ,o f all kinds at the beginning of the period here considered—that Is, 1604. With the exception o f two or three states the whole country Is co­ operating officially and effectually in the movement for good roads. Norway, dose to the war zone, puts submarines, armed or peaceful, in a class by themselves. Except In case o f emergency, seeking relief, belliger­ ent submarines must not sail In Nor­ wegian waters, only on the surface with their national flags flying. Mer­ chant submarines mtist sail on the sur­ face, but only in daylight with their national flag in evidence. Norway’s Way Is pretty certain to figure in The Hague convention, which dears up knotty points in international law as it Is to he. ' A rise In average steel prices from $39 per ton to $63 In a year and a half w a s ,a great feat for steel, tn,t com­ pared with cotton the record was noth­ ing much, after all. Cotton’s rise by the pound fails to show the contrast sharply as In the case of steel, being about 5 cents against 18 or 19 cents In two years. Changing from pounds to tons, however, gives figures which look formidable, $860 in October, 1910, against about $100 in 1914.

Tuesday, Nov. 7th, the Russian Government closed a contract in the United States for $3,000,000. worth of sole leather, and for 50,000 dozen Kid Skins to be used fo r linings in the trousers o f the Cavalry Men. This one purchase immediately caused the price o f all Kid stock to advance six­ teen cents per foot, or about seventy cents on a pair o f Ladies’ shoes. The last sixty days has witnessed such phenomenal advances in the price o f leather and everything that goes into a shoe that when one learns the facts they have the appearances o f being Fairy Tales, but the most careful investigation convinces us, be­ yond a shadow of doubt, that the leather market of the world has' been depleted and the price o f everything In Footwear will advance to unheard o f prices during the next twelve months, • In the November 10th issue o f the Boston Herald a well posted author­ ity o f the Shoe Market o£ the United States made the statement that tho shoe merchants could double the price on the" shoes they have in stock and not be above today’s market price for the same shoes. It is hard to believe this statement is literally true, nev­ ertheless," it. is. so near a fact that we desire t o . call your attention to the situation as it may effect you or your family. . ^ ‘ $75,000 worth of. the shoes now ih our store were contracted fo r last March and April at prices prevailing at that time to be delivered in Sep­ tember, October and November, and the patrons o f NISLEY, IN TRE AR ­ CADE, will not he charged advanced prices on any shoes now in stock. MANY OF THE SHOES WE ARE SELLING TODAY COST / THE MANUFACTURER M O R E TO MAKE NOW THAN WE ARE RE­ TAILING THEM FOR. This notice is to advise you o f this fact and to personally urge you to take advantage o f our present stock and. make .your shoe purchases at as early date as convenient. No time in the history o f shoe making has‘ .it been more to your advantage to an­ ticipate your wants for the next six months or year and buy all the shoes you or vour family might need. The saving will be $ 1.00 to $ 2.00 per pair if you buy now. To wait will be a lofts to you. , NISLEY ARCADE SHOE CO. Springfield’s largest and best Shoe House. Pig* la Pigs.

I GOLDEN TEXT—Be tliou faithful,unto ; death, and I will give theo tho crown o f , life.—Kev. 2 : 10 , ■ j This passage most wonderfully Ulus- * trates that dominating purpose' of ( Paul’s life. More than most lessons | a map. will be necessary to locate d ie-; tlnctly the places mentioned. There ‘ are Interesting stories In connection With each of the seven cities and churches. It might be wise to give to seven different people the taftk of bring­ ing information to the class, regard­ ing each one mentioned. I. Ephesus, whose love is waning (vv. 1-7). Tlie key word to those mes­ sages is the word “overcometh.” In each of the messages our Lord de­ scribes himself in a different way ac­ cording to the peculiar needs of that particular church. Here lie Is repre­ sented as. holding the stars (messen­ gers of the churches, Ch. 1 :20) lu his right hand, and keeping them secure, ‘ controlling them while he walks in the n midst o f the seven golden lamp stands, literally churches. The symbolism of “lamp stand" is used because the churches were intended to be light bearers, as they held forth the light given by the oil of the Spirit (Math. 5:16; Phil. 2:16; Zech. 4:2-6). Ephesus was the capital o f a province said to be one of the richest in the Roman em­ pire. In It was the great temple of Diana. Here Paul had labored and had various experiences, and to Ephesus lie had written a letter (See lesson 8 , third quarter), hut there were good things to pet found in this Ephesian church (vv. 2,3). Forty-years after be­ ing founded, John writes this message. He knew their “works,” their general moral conduct, especially its active and passive sides through its trials, Its dealing with impostors .and its prac­ tical energy and enterprise; and its pa­ tience (literally steadfast assurance), in bearing witness for Christ. Jesus knew of their never wearying endur­ ance. Surely these things would indi­ cate pretty nearly a model church.” Jesus says, “No, there is something seriously wrong,” so seriously wrong that unless repented of he would re­ move them out. o t .their place. II. Smyrna, the church-with ft crown of life (vy. 8 *tl). Smyrna was 40 or 50 miles from Ephesus, and 'at tills time a city of 250,000 inhabitants- To this church the Son o f Man (Ch. 1:11) sends another message. It is interest­ ing to note that this church and the one at Philadelphia received from the Master unqualified praise. It had works, activities; It also had tribula­ tions, riches and poverty (for thou art rich) rich in good works, rich toward God, rich in treasures laid up h f heaven; however, it was in the midst of persecution. .It was here that Paly'* carp labored, who afterward, as bishop of Smyrna, was martyred (see v.*10). Qf Polycurp it is said that rather than save bis life by renouncing Christ he cried out, “Eighty and six years have I served him, and he hns'done me no 111 ; how then can I blaspheme my king who hath' saved me.” The crown is eternal life, the crown of victory. The second death is the final condemna­ tion which Binders undergo at .e judg­ ment, seat o f God. III. Pergamos, the church In a strong­ hold of faith (vv. 32*17), Our glorified Lord knew that the church in Pergamos .was In a peculiarly difficult situation, that it was Satan’s headquarters, Ms “throne” (v. 13); hence they were in especial need o f a defender and the Lord is represented as “he that hath a sharp, two-edged sword,” the word of God (Heb. 4 :12-13; John 5 :22). Per­ gamos was almost fifty miles north of Smyrna, a city o f about 17,000 inhabi­ tants, and the capital of the province. To It were brought many of the early Christians who were compelled to suf- ( for. martyrdom. Again we have a church whose Works are commended, whose steadfastness is mentioned In that they “held fast to my name, and not dented the faith”-—martyrs (vv. 13). However, dangers threatened them for there had been a compromise with the world and with other sys­ tems o f faith, what we would call to­ day liberality In doctrine and breadth In view In teaching: (1) Some o f their number had accepted and practiced the doctrine of Baalim (Jude 11; Num. 31-16). (2) These teachings cast a stumbling block before the cliildren of Israel (v* 14), This was .done by per­ suading tlie Israelites to join in the idolatrous feasts and revellngs o f the heathen, and also their impurity of worship, In the remaining part o f the chapter we Jiave some glimpses o f tho remain­ ing four churches, the good that was to be cherished and the evil that was to bo overcome. Perhaps the most suggestive o f all is that of Laodicca, the lukewarm cliurch. Lukewarmness Is one o f the most deadly evils to overcome, and hence tlto highest and most glorious of all the promises suggested ends with “I will give him to sit down with me in my throne as 1 also overcame ahd sat down with* my father In his throne” (Am. R. V.). Consider the Innoccht Bystander. “A man ought to bo able," said Undo Ebon, “ to stand up foil Ills rights wlfoufc trampin’ on de Innocent bystander’* tow,” «#■***. * ArcadeJewelry Store Springfield, Ohio CHRISTMAS IS ONLY FOUR WEEKS AWAY— RIGHT IN Th*E IM­ MEDIATE FOREGROUND W ITH THE OLD PLEASURE- ABLE NECESSITY FOR GIFT SpLECTION AT HAND.
