Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan Thursday Nov. 21, 1918 Soldiers' Letter The following letter was received by £. C. Sibley, editdr of the Springport Signal, from his brother Clyde, former editor of the Pinckney Dispatch: France, October, 1918. Dear Brother: Received your long letter written the first of September, along with four others. ( We came near having to go down to St. Satur Sunday afternoon but it was cold and rainy and the l'autenant could only round up about half of the bunch, so we didn't go. It was certainly a long day. We have one Btove and one fireplace in our rooms. Most of the people here use fireplaces to heat their homes so I imagine it does-not get very cold herein winter. We have some time making our stove go and haver some bellowB for that purpose. Sunday it nearly smoked us out of house and home. As there is no chimney in the bui lding we have to run the pipe out of the window. There is no danger of the building burning as they are all made of atone about two feet thick. Saturday the. band hiked over to a town where one of the companies are located, about five mites, and back. Left here at 10 a.m., got our dinner at the village with the company, then marched them about two mites the other side of the village to 'a Chate a u where the company held their blowout which consisted §i a ballgame, drills, band music etc. The people at the Chateau were very fine to us. The lady said that she used to live in an English town where we were located on our way over. They treated us to some fine wine and cookies. About 4:10 we started back and arrived about 7, after which we got «ur sapper and then played a concert at the K. C. hall It is needless to say it was not very •spirited. Last Thursday the band went up to a little village about four miles away and gave some concerts for the boys. We made this trip on the train,' While we were waiting for the train a troop train filled with artil lerymen from all sections of the army stopped there. Believe me, they were one hard looking crew and didn't seem to UNION THANKSGIVING SERVICE In grateful acknowledgement of the blessings that a kind Providence has conferred upon us in the past year, and in compliance with the proclamation of of out chief executives, the people of Pinckney and vicinity are called to assemble at the CongregationalChurch on the 28th of November for worship.

School Com* Last Friday afternoon the boat of Pinckney'a football fans assembled at the football field west of town to witness the local team's second encounter with Howell High this seasor. Having met the Pinckney huskies once this season with disastrous results to themselves, the Howell team had come prepared for a bard struggle, accompanied by a crowd of enthusiastic and confident rooters. At about three o'clock the teams took their positions) the referee's whistle sounded sad the game was on. After the ball had changed hands several times, the visiting team captured a goal through an unavoidable error on the part of one of the Pinckney players but lost the kick, making the »core 6-0 for HoweQ. During the first of the third quarter, Pinckney, by a. succession of quick rashes, carried the ball over Howell's goal Una. Pinckney also failed on the kick, making the score 5-6Y In the same quarter one of the opposing players, having fouled severe times, was at last ordered off the field by the referee. Whereupon those staunch heroes of the gridiron, the Howell players, announced,, with one voice,' "We won't play!". The referee,, in order to continue the battle, consented to the Howell man's re-inatattinent 00 the ptomise that there should be no more dirty playing About this time, Lowell, by some hook or creek having msnsged to get in the locality of Pinckney's goal posts, tried a forward pass which wetidhave worked admira>ty except FOR SALE OR EXCHANGF-A first class mahogany piano.

Keep the system In good order, take plenty of exerclso in the fresh air and practice- cleanliness. Remember a clean month, a clean skin, and clean bowels are a protecting armour against disease. To keep the liver and bowels regular and to carry awuy the poisons within, it is best to take a vegetable pill every other day, made up of May-apple, aloes, Jalap, and sugar-coated, to be hud at most drug stores, known as Dr. Pierce's Pteasunt Pellets. If there is a sudden onset of what appears like a hard cold, one should go to bed, wrap warm, take a hot mustard foot-bath and drink copiously of hot lemonade. If pain develops in head or back, ask the druggist for Anuric (anti-uric) tublets. These will flush the bladder and kidneys and carry off poisonous germs. To control the pains and aches take one Anuric tablet every two hours, with frequent drinks o$ lemonade. The pneumonia appears In a most treacherous way, when the Influenza victim is apparently recovering and anxious to leave his bed. In recovering from a bad attack of influenza or pneumonia the system should be built up with a good herbal tonic, such as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, made without alcohol from the coots and barks of American forest trees, or his Irontic (iron tonic) tablets, which can be obtained at most drug stores, or send 10c. to Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel.

It had once been surrounded by wide acres, but gradually the growing town had encroached on its borders; and', j)lt by bit, the property had been swallowed up, until at last the lowbrowed, rambling farmhouse was elbowed by smarter town residences, and could boast only a narrow dooryard In front, and a cramped orchard in the rear. "The mills had spoiled Layton," old Mrs. Tetlow used to say, with a dreary shake of the head, as she watched these changes. The Tetlow farm had been a prosperous one In its day, and its owners h«d lived on it in quiet respectability for many generations. But they were all scattered and gone now—these Tetlows— save for the one lonely old wornun, who gazed out of the small-paned windows. People said Mrs. Tetlow was growing forgetful. Perhaps she was—forgetful of the present. t It was a dreary November day. The clouds hung low and a few scattering snowftakes were beginning to fall. "Reul Thanksgiving weather," murmured Mrs. Tetlow, as she looked out of her front window. "Yes, It's real Thanksgiving weather." repeated the old lady, drawing her small shoulder shawl closer about her. "It's time to be making the mincemeat." "Mother always did that the first thing," she went on, by and by, "and today is Friday. Next week will bring the last Thursday in the month. The proclamation^ be rer ' next Sabbath." The knitting needles lay idle In Mrs. Tetlow's lap, a§> she rocked slowly back and forth. "Grandma Spencer's folks always came by Wednesday night," she said, after a reflective pause, "and brother Peter and his wife and boys would get here as early as 9 Thanksgiving morning. The rest didn't come till nearly noon. I wonder where Peter's boy is now. I wish the West weren't so far off. I wonder if the boy's done well." Mrs. Tetlow stopped rocking and sat up straight in her chair. "Wouldn't I like to get ready for another such Thanksgiving party,** she exclaimed, a red spot burning In either cheek. "I believe I will." She arose, her slight figure trembling as she rolled up her- knitting work and thrust the needles Into it "Let me see," she went on musingly, how many most I provide for? There's Peter and Mary and the three boys* and Jane and Henrietta and Uncle Solon. Nannie and her husband and the little folks, bless *emf and Grandma Spencer's folks and Joe and Letty. It'll be a long tableful, bat HI be reedy for them.". Monday saw active preparations going on In the old kitchen. The last thing each night before golag to her bed the old lady took her wavering candle and inspected her pantry shelves* and with every evenins there wen more toothsome goodies to behold. When the traveling butcher stopped Wednesday for his usual small order, Mrs, Tetlow followed him out to bis cart and selected the, largest turkey la hie collection. The man's eyes opened wide. "Expecting company, ma'amT be eafced aa be weighed It, and the old woman nodded gravely. That morning the windows- in the upper chamber were thrown open to the wind and sunshine, and sweeping and dusting and airing of bed linen were in order. "Grandma Spencer's folks always come by Wednesday night," she said, "and the rooms haven't been used for some time. They feel a little damp, so 1*1} have them open all day.** Toward night Mrs. Tetlow put on her second best gown and' sat down near the window to watcb. When her guests arrive** the mar* eat neighbor .might not hsvae known. bat a lamp was lighted in the dim beat room that evening, and at nine o'clock the old woman ..took a becF room candle In either hand and toiled up the creaking stair. On the little stand beside each bed she placed a brass candlestick, apd, .having turned back the sheets, went out again, murmuring a soft "good-night." Mrs. Tetlow arose at dawn, and before it was time to prepare breakfast she had dressed her turkey and set it aside, ready for the oven. About nine o'clock she began to lay her table. Having smoothed out every wrinkle In the cloth, she gathered all her geranium blossoms and put them in the center of the table in a glass bowl. Then the silver., which had all been polished the day before, was brought forth from its canton flannel wrappings, and Great-grandma Tetlow's blue china was lifted down from the shelves of the china closet. "How good It Is to see all these things out again!" exclaimed the old lady, surveying the result of her labor with pardonable pride; "and it's right good to have company once more," she added with a little sigh; "I've eaten alone so long." "I've nothing to do now," she said, "but to sit at the front window and watch for the folks to come, I'll be able to see them far up the meadow road." A few minutes later she was startled by hearing a knock at the front door, and, quite trembling with the shock, she arose to open It* "Good morning, Mrs. Tetlow." It was Mrs. Clifford, the young doctor's wife, who spoke. "Good morning, Mrs. Tetlow. Isn't this a beautiful Thanksgiving day? Madam Clifford is out in the carriage and she wants to take you home to have dinner with us. Please say you'll come; and let me get your bonnet and shawl for you." Mrs. Tetlow looked down into the bright young face, with a dreamy happiness in her own, aa she slowly shook her head. "You're real good," she said, "and please tell Madam Clifford I'm just aa much obliged to her, but I can't come today, rm—Tnt looking for company." There was a ring of tremulous pride In the old voice that went to the heart of the young woman. She looked up into the wrinkled old face and noted the strange glow of content and far-off happiness in the old eyes, Mrs. Clifford remembered it afterward with a sense of awe. As she turned to go now she saw, through the open door, a corner of the long table, all ready for dinner. T B ao glad for yon, Mrs, Tetlow r she exclaimed lmpolarvoly. 1 nope you win have a pleasant Thanksgiving day." Then aha hurried back to her carriage, and Mrs. Tetlow returned to her rocking-chair by the window. "They're real late," aba murmured to herself now and then, and a new, strange weariness and numbness crept over nor as she sat and watted, her dim vision still wandering far op the-f he meadow road. ~ Suddenly she started forward with outstretched arms. "Peter r ana cried. "Mary !** and -then sank back feebly In her chair. T i n right glad to see j w auVehe faltered, "but I seem to be a little tired. Just lay off your things and draw up near tha fire. It la growing chilly."

"Tick-took, tick-tock," said the Uv- Ing-room clock, not-fur off, "will you tell me what ia funay ? It's a most peculiar thing for a clock to say 'It's funny' for no reason at all." "But I have a reason," said the hall dock. • "That's all right, then," said the living- room clock. **You apologize, do you?" asked the hall clock. "Well, no, not exactly," said the living- room clock. "What do you do, theuf' inquired the hall clock. "I tick and I tock and I keep the time, hu, ha," said the living-room clock. "I'm cracking a little joke myself." "Why won't you apologize?" asked the hall clock. "For the simple reason that I don't feel I should. I said I thought it was silly and peculiar for a clock to say It's funny,' without any reason, but as long as you have a reason I don't think It's peculiar at all. So tell me your reason for saying 'It's funny,'" ended the living-room clock. "Of course, situated as I am In this flne position in the hall," said the hall clock, "I hear a great deal that is going on. "I hear the people talk, grown-ups 'Oh, Dear, I Wish I Weren't So Fat." of them tulk and md children. How some ran talk ! My! But they they talk and they talk." "Well.Jet thejn," said the living-room clock. "Don't we tick and tock, tick «nd tock, tick and tock?" "That's a wise speech," safd the hall clock, "and I'll forgive you this time for Interrupting." "I didn't think about It," said the living- room clock. "I forgot I was Interrupting again. "I cannot say that I object to the people talking so much," continued the hall clock. "Of course if I did object to it I don't suppose I could do anything about it. I might stop and get run down, but that wouldn't do any good. 'It's always so foolish to run down and get out of order. It takes such a long time to get fixed again." "One would think," said the livingroom clock, "that you were a doctor or a trained nurse or something like that, Instead of being a hall clock." "Why?" asked the hall clock. "Well, all U»at chatter about getting run down and out of order," said the living-room clock, "sounded to rae like a doctor or a trained nurse or a person giving advice." "That's all because you hear the people talking about their illnesses in the living room," said the hall clock. "I spoke In the correct way for a clock to speak. But I must tell you what strikes me as being funny." "Oh, yes," said the living-room clock, "you must tell me. We don't want to end off talking about something different from what we started with." "Well, It wouldn't have mattered so ranch If we bad finished it right away and then gone on to talk of something else. We have finished the first thing we were talking about," said the hall Clock. "It strikes me as being very* funny when I hear the people talk about their figures. It seems that each person has one figure, and s figure means a person's shape.

Swift & Company has frequently stated that its profit on beef averages only onefourth of a cent a pound, and hence has practically no effect on the price. Comparison has been made by the Federal Trade Commission of this profit with the profit on coal, and it has pointed out that anthracite coal operators are content with a profit of 25 cents a ton, whereas the beef profit of one-fourth of a cent a pound means a profit of $5.00 a ton. The comparison does nor point out that anthracite coal at the seaboard is worth at wholesale about $7.00 a ton, whereas a ton of beef of fair quality is worth about $400.00 wholesale. To carry the comparison further, the 25 cent profit on coal is 3½ P^ c e n t °f m ^ $7.00 value. The $5.00 profit on beef is only 1¼ per cent of the $400.00 value. The profit has little effect on price in either case, but has leas effect on the price of beef than on the price of coal. Coal may be stored in the open air indefinitely; beef must be kept in expensive coolers because it ia highly perishable and must be refrigerated. Coal is handled by the carload or ton; beef is delivered to retailers by the pound or hundred weight Methods of handling are vastly different. Coal is handled in open cars; beef must be shipped in refrigerator cars at an even temperature. Fairness to the public, fairness to Swift ft Company, fairness to the packing industry, demands that these indisputable facts be conaidered. It is impossible to disprove Swift ft Company's statement, that its profits on beef are so small as to have practically no effect on prices. Swift & Company, U. S: A.

Cash and highest price pafd for eggs and poultry delivered at the Michigan Is ready and waiting lor the opening gun of the United War Work Campaign to be fired on the morning of November 11. Thousands of workers throughout the state are on their toes and prepared to see that Michigan stands out a« a shining light among her sister states:-- It is this campaign which is the test of true patriotism; in which some slight sacrifice can be made for the boys who are fighting our battles in the trenches. The seven great, accredited war relief, agenciea , —Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., K. of C., Jewish Welfare Board, Salvation Army, American Library Association and the War Camp Community Service-— have called upon' the American people for $250,000,000 with which to carry on their work of relief. President Wilson has asked that the people of this country comply with this request. Give, Give, Give until it feels good. It has been said that "it is better to give than receive." In this case those who give will receive the greatest reward, that of satisfaction in having helped to comfort some mother's son who nas gone through the horrors of a bloody battle. The purchasing of Liberty Bonds is a patriotic duty, but there is io samiaoo for J t * ure receiving a high rate of Interest on your money. The boys in the trenches are making the GREATEST SACRIFICE. During the week of November 11 every man, woman and child in the state will be offered an opportunity and priviledge of making a monetary sacrifice. And, how little that is in comparison with the offer of the boys to give up their lives. Do not be a slacker. Back up the boys over there. They* deserve It.

WALLACE IS SURPRISED TO RECEIVE A STRANGE SUMMONS FROM MRS. KENSON. Synopsis.—Lieut. Mark Wallace, U. S. A., ts wounded at the battle of Santiago. While wandering alone In the jungle he comes across a dead man In a hut outside of which a little girl Is playing. When he is rescued he takes the girl to the hospital and announces his intention of adopting her. His commanding officer, Major Howard, tell htm that the dead man was Hampton, a traitor, who sold department secrets to an international gang in Washington and was detected by himself and Kellerman, an officer In the same office. Howard pleads to be allowed to send the child home to his wife and they agree that she shall never know- her father's shame. Several years later Wallace visits Eleanor at a young ladles* boarding school. She gives him a pleasant shock by declaring that when she. is eighteen she intends to marry him. More years pass and Wallace remains In the West. At the outbreak of the European war Colonel Howard calls Wallace to a staff post in Washington. He finds Eleanor there, also Kellerman, 'in whom he discerns an antagonist. For years a strange man has haunted Eleanor's footsteps, following but never accosting her. One night Wallace sees the man and follows him to a gambling house kept by a Mrs. Kenson. Here the ttrange man is attacked by Kellerman. Wallace rescues him and take* nira to his own apartment. In the night the man. who gave his name as Hartley, disappears. The next day Wallace Is called from his office ana on his return finds important documents missing. His resignation 16 requested. »I«-«MV» CHAPTER VtlI—Continued. "Ah, now I recognize you," said the strange voice in a merry ripple of laughter. "And you don't know who I amf' "If you will state your name—" began Mark patiently. "Someone who knows that you are in trouble and wants to help you. I'm afraid you won't let me. You seemed to be prejudiced against me when we met before. Well, I am Ada Kenson." Mark uttered an angry exclamation, which he Instantly checked. This might prove the key that he was seeking. "Come to my house at nine o'clock tonight, unless you are afraid. You will meet nobody but me." It had been In Mark's mind to look for Hartley in that ^neighborhood. "What do you say, Captain Wallace"? I can help you very much Indeed, and perhaps put things right for yon. I am in a position to know a good deal of what is happening behind - the scenes." Mark felt his brain grow as cool as ice. "I'll come, Mrs. Kenson," be answered crisply, and hung up the receiver. He consoled himself with the reflection that he had, at least, nothing to lose. Me waited calmly for the appointment* and arrived outside the hon.se promptly. There was no sign of Hartley in the neighborhood. At bis ring Mrs. Kenson herself opened the door, smiled, and showed him into a well-furnished little parlor. "Sit down. Captain Wallace," she said, indicating* chair. "You'll wonder who I am and why I asked yon to come here," skid Mrs. Kenson. "Well, I happen to know quite a good deal about yon, Captain Wallace. All your history, In fact, from the time yon entered West Point- It is part of my business to know these things.* Mark bowed and waited, expecting vent America from being dragged Into this maelstrom." continued Mrs. Kenson. "You. Captain Wallace, were unfortunate enough to he working on the other side. And—I'm sorry, but a little trap was laid for yon and Kellerman. You walked right into it. Major Kellerman, who is a very good friend of mine, acted in complete good faith. Don't blame him. Don't blame yourself. Don't blame that wretched fellow who came here the other night to blackmail me. It was inevitable. You see, when yon adopted Hampton's •daughter you unconsciously put a sort of noose about your neck. There was the possibility of your coming Into contact with Hampton's friends. The system is widespread, you know, and quite twenty years old. So-»you had to go west. "Now, Captain Wallace, I'm a frank woman, and 1*11 put my proposition to you. You donl want to see Major Kellerman walk off with that pretty ward of yours, do you? And you can't marry her without a little money. Well, you could be very useful to ns in many ways. Would you, without sacrificing your patriotism or revealing any secrets, become a salaried worker of our organization?" Mark stood up, trembling. "I—don't quite understand," he said huskily; and the picture of Eleanor in Kellerman's anas at the dance swam before his eyes. "What is it yon want me to d o r "Use your influence and army knowledge in oor behalf. That little affair of today will soon be forgotten. And we'll help yon to put Kellerman oat of business." "You ask me to become a German spyr "Don't be absurd, my dear captain. Who ever suggested such a thingT* •That's what It amounts to.* "A little Influence on behalf of humanity." "Nor shouted Mirk, quite beside the door of the house, splintering i t Again the cries broke out "Try again 1" muttered Hartley in desperation. "There's a door into the empty house next door, through the ..cellar. The police don't know of it You must get away. You must get away!" Mark tried again, and this time managed to rise. Hartley caught Mark by the arm and guided his unsteady footsteps to the door. They gained the passage, and Hartley guided Mnrk toward the head of the basement steps, which they reached just as the front door fell 1» under the hatchets of the raiders. They scuttled down the stairs as the hall became filled with the shouting policemen. Before the first of the raiders set his foot upon the stone stairs Hartley had found a door in the darkness, opened it, and pushed Mark through, following immediately. He shut the door softly behind him. They were in the basement of the adjoining house.. "We're safe now," said Hartley in a whisper. "You'd better rest, Captain Wallace." "You're Hartley," mutteredV Mark, sitting down and trying in vain to discern something of the other's face through the gloom. "What happened, and how did you come on the scene?" "Good Cod forgive me!" moaned Hartley, suddenly breaking into hysterical sobbing, as on the former night "I've ruined you. Captain Wallace. What else could I do?" "So you were in that plot, eh?" asked Mark, wondering that he felt so little anger. "Well, it was clear enough, but it doesn't mntter now." "It matters everything," answered Hartley, in a vehement whisper. "They tricked me into it. I didn't know what something sensational He was aston- ^ ¾ 8 6 ^ / ¾ ¾ lufwnoua. Ton ought lahed beyond his expectation, however, b j Mrs. Kenson's next words. •'Your long tnd distasteful stay in the West Captain Wallace, was not wholly the fortune of the military service," she said. I t was expedient that yon should stay there, ouoecouat of your unfortunate mistake in adoptlng the lata Cfcarlee Hampton's child" Mark rose In protest, collected hj»> selt -and sat down again, • -In. fact dear Captain Wallace, yon have been the victim off circumstances," went on Mrs. Kenson. "I suppose yon know thai the world has changed a food Scat dating your flf* tee* yean of exile?

The electric light in the passage had gome out The room grew dark behind him. He groped his way toward the door. Suddenly a vivid light flashed before his eyes. Ha heard, though he felt no pain, the. impact of a hard weapon upon the back of his head. He flung oat his hands'and grappled with a man. In the uplifted hand he felt a heavy stick with a knobbed handle. He bettered bis assailant to be Kellerman, and. half unconscious as he was, he fought madly.

And I had suspected. God, Captain Wallace, to think I found that door!** "Never mind." said Mark soothingly, listening; to the stamping of the raiders In the next house overhead. "What more do you know T "I knew that they wouldn't be satis* fled with that sir. They—" "One moment Who Is they,' Hart* hsyr "They:" repeated Hartley vindictively. "Those devils that make pawns or men. They meant to clinch their dirty work one way or another. They meant to buy you, after ruining you, and fashion yon to their dirty work. If they couldn't do that they were going to—" "Murder me?" "No, sir. Discredit you so that nothing you could say would ha listened to. "That's what they meant to do. It was I who was told to give the tip to the police that there was gambling here. They thought the place wt* closed—and it was. But they wanted the police to And you here, and arrest llyou, so that the story might get late the newspapers, and finish you—finish sou with the war department and with lie heard the man catch ut hi* breath. "She wasn't your wife, Hartley?" "No, Captuln Wallace, no!" "But she has a hold on you strong enough to compel you to do such work as she requires. And yet you have tried to save roe dishonor—If any raorv could come to me." "You saved me, Captain Wallace l" Mark made.a sound of Incredulity. "And I have been a gentleman. You don't know how a man falls, Captain Wallace." "Hartley, you haven't answered my question. Now here's another. Why were you watching Colonel Howard's house the other night?" "You know that?" "I followed yon here. Tell me the whole truth about this business, and I'll stand by you to the end." T i l trust you—to the limit—but I won't tell you, Captain Wallace. Some day, perhaps, but not now. I'll stand by you, and n i fight at your side, sir. But I won't tell you. And that's the only condition on which I can agree to what you propose." "And if we succeed—?' "Not Mf,' but 'when'." cried Hartley, with a sudden outburst of conviction. "'Ill tell you then—yes. Captain Wallace. And til! then we'll fight together to pull down this nest of conspiracy and prove your innocence to the world." After a moment he added, "T think we'd better be making n move out of here, Captain Wallace!" He pushed open the cellar door and led Mark along the bnsement passage until a gleam of moonlight appenred In front of them. They emerged into a little garden, a repllcn of the one next door. There waft no policeman on guard. In a moment they were in the street and In safety. Mnrk. M'ho had already recovered from the effects of his blow, save for a splitting headache, took n car with Hartley, and half an hour later the two were again In Mark's moms. "So you were packing?" asked Hartley, looking about him. "What were you going to do?" "I don*t know." answered Mnrk. "It's queer, being broken like this—I've nothing, no prospects, only a little money. I have to earn a living." "It'll be the nrmy." said Hartley. "You'd he a sergeant In no time; you'd run through the ranks in about a couple of years. And then you've won. You've conquered fortune. And, you're in a position to do a little quiet working to straighten out your tangle and run down the Kenson gang. And then I'll help you. for when the time comes I can tell what I know. At present I can't I'm waiting—" He burst Into an expletive, and his face was twisted with anguish. The man seemed under the stress of some overpowering; emotion. "And how about vour own part Ir this affair, Hartleyr The man winced as If Mark had struck him. Mark put out his hand, took Hartley's, and shook it warmly. "You're right. Hartley." he said quietly. T m ready to sink ray name, then, and well go in together as comrades, and by Heaven well set thi whole crooked business rtght!" CHAPTER X. "Weston! Hey, there!" Mark, who was sitting at the en trance of the tent which he shared with five other privates of the Medical corps, looked up at the sound of the name to which be had grown accus> totmed. At the sight of the corporal who had hailed htm, he flung down the grooved strip of metal, known aa the "soldier's friend," with the aid of which he had been polishing his buttons, and hurried obediently forward. "The train's In from the base with the sisters and doctors to meet the convoy that we're expecting from the front -Every man's on duty until the job's finished. Beport to the matron with Hartley." Mark nodded, and departed at a rut toward the door of the base hospital, at which the matron, fidgeting Imps tientiy, was awaiting the assembling of the orderlies. It wss war, and the echoes of the far distant guns were all about them daily, though war had never that way.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan Thursday Nov. 7, 1918 No. 45 WHEN PEACE NEWS REACHED PINCKNEY Re-action from bong S u s p e n s e Brought Great Joy Patriotic Feminine War 'Workers Parade Streets. LETTER FROM PERCY MORTENSON Reported Killed In Action L a s t A u g u s t Bfe- *. Last Thursday t h e ' f a k e peace news reached Pinckney about noon. In a «*ery Bhort time the bells began to ring and everyone propared f o r a general thanksgiving. All the afternoon the bells in the churches and the town hall were kept •busy until the latter, not accustomed to such steady work, decided to rebel. The violent efforts to persuade the bell -to continue in the jollification noise resulted in said bell becoming cracked. This catastrophe;, however, did not dampen the ardor of the energetic noise producers. Guns, pistols and every available firearm was requisitioned and the noise continued. After dark a huge pile of inflammable material was collected, the Kaiser appearing on the scene about this time was elevated* in the air and a torch started the fire which pat him out of the way of domg any more mischief, i Riddled with bullets and ' burning in the darkness the effigy of the man who has caused more suffering and agony . than any other human being has done in the world's nistory was thus consumed to the intense delight of PincKney's population. Monday morning before daylight the church and school bells pealed forth the genuine peace news. ' This time, however, many, on account of having been disappointed by the fake news, were not in a hurry to accept the glad tidings. To add to their indecision the morning papers failed to reach town and the day passed somewhat more quietly. In the evening, however, the boys awoke to the necessities of ^the great day. A bonfire was started on the eqare and the jollification soon assumed good dimensions. The ladies of village, thinking perhaps the men were assuming a monopoly on tne celebraiion stunts decided to have 4 cute little celebration of their own. Hastily gathering recruits together and assembling a various assortment of m u s i c a l ? ) instruments of which men- % tion/may be made of the proverbial tin , caff and ear -splitting contrivances of which an old batter i and discarded . metallic wash tub—drawn by willing hands over the stone sidewalk and battered on the sides by willing t and indefatigable hands—easily won first honors and dragged by the ladies a t the bead of a long procession of delighted maids and matrons who patrolled the streets of town for hours until exhaustion compelled them to desist. If there is any spot in the wide, wide A # world where the people enjoyed the " * peace news more than our folks did we would like to hear from that plaee at -once. • France, Sept. 18, 1918. Dear friend Art and all: J u s t a few lineB to let you know that I received your letter just a few hours ago. I am sorry that you heard I was dead for there are enough without any false reports. I told the boys about it and they thought it a great joke. They went around behind me to see if there was anything holding me up. Leaving ail jokes aside, I am well and getting along fine. I hope this finds you folks the same. I am still working at the same job. I told you about it in one of my letters sent last month. You might not have received it so will tell you again. I am working on gun repair. We have a nice little shop and I like it here. I am sorry to hear that Alger Hall is sick over here. Received a letter from Clair Reason a few days ago. He is getting along fine so far. I have not seen any of the fellows from home since I have been here but know where some of them are. Well, I will finish this letter.

This announcement was made by the state department early Monday morning. The announcement was made verbally by an official of the Bt&te department. The terms of the armistice, it was announced, will not be made public until later. Military men here, however, regard it as certain that they include : Immediate retirement of the German military forces from France, Belgium and Alsace-Lorraine. Disarming and demobilization of the German armies. Occupation by the Allied and American forces of such strategic points in Germany as will make impossible a renewal of hostilities. Delivery of part of the German high seas fleet and a certain number of submarines to the Allied and American naval forces. Disarmament of all other German warships under supervision of the Allied and American navies which will guard them. Occupation of the principal German naval bases by sea force* of the victorious nations. Release of Allied and American solfliers, sailors and civilians held prisoners in Germany without such reciprocal action by the associated government*. Three of the four kingdoms within the once German empire have fallen. King Wilhelm II. of Wuerttenburg has abdicated and a republic has been proclaimed. King Leopold of Bavaria's abdication was announced two days ago. Wilhelm, king of Prussia (former emperor of Germany), also abdicated. The situation in 8axony is obscure.

"Don't go yet," said t h e little garden violet, known as Johnny-Jump-Up, to ... the forget-me-not. re EMPEROR W I L L I A M MILITARf FORCES JOIN REDS !-.? i> Ki* v (*:•.-• 7t! \t\ , .-i'*i=." London—The former German emperor's party, which is believed to include Field Marshal von Hindenburg, has arrived at Eysden, on the Dutch frontier, according to Daily Mail advices. Practically the whole German general staff accompanied the former emperor, and ten automobiles carried the party. The automobiles were bristling with rifles and all the fugitives were armed. The ex-kaiser was in uniform. He alighted at the Eysden station and paced the platform, smoking a cigarette. Eysden is about midway between Liege and Maastricht, on the Dutch border. Chatting with members of staff, the former emperor, the correspondent say8, did not look in the least distressed. A few minutes later an imperial train, including restaurant and sleeping cars, ran into the station. Only servants were aboard. The engine returned to Vize, Belgium, and brought back a second train, in which were a large number of staff officers and others and also stores of food. The German consul from Maastricht also arrived. Dutch railway officials soon made their appearance and many of the inhabitants came to the station attracted by curiosity. Many photographs were taken by the people of the party. On the whole the people were very quiet, but Belgians among them yelled out, "En voyage!" A dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph company from Copenhagen quotes the Politiken a s saying that when the former German emperor arrived at Maastricht he was accompanied by the former empress. Washington.—The German people, for a generation obedient and subm i s s i v e servants of their war lord, for more than four years his pliant instruments in ravaging the world, have spoken a new word, and the old Germany is gone. From* the confused, sometimes conflicting and often delayed advices from Germany in the last two days it 1ft a become apparent William, emperor and king, has been stripped of his power. He is now plain William Hohenzoliern, a fugitive in Holland. With his fall topples into ruin William's mad design to rule the world. Little is knqwn of the situation in Germany, for that country is in the first days of its new adventure. It is not clear whether the old regime has been permanently dislodged or whether the new authorities, with unscrupulous adroitness which has long marked German politics, are merely secriflcing the chief figureheads of Kalserism in the hope of obtaining an easier peace. It appears probable no one in Germany knows, and that li is still to be determined which of the contending elements will gain tho upper band. Revolution is spreading rapidly, and from the fact a Socialist is chancellor, it may be gathered the object of the revolution is not merely quick ending of the war but complete severance of the political tieB which stiil bind the nation with its past. For the Allies the problem has changed.'The countries which fought Germany and her vassals for more than four years have emerged from it completely triumphant, but within the borders of the countries which menaced the peace of t h e whole world stalks revolt, famine a n J anarchy. The world's next task may be to restore order in the desolated Central Empires. It may be the lot ot the forces who have successfully contested Germany's greed for power to save her from the fate she imposed on Russia. Likewise, help will have tb be given to Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey, whose ruin Germany wrought. >-\ ; * - . • '".' * Wr*.

The garrison has gone over to the government. The workmen's and soldiers' council has declared a general strike. Troops and machine grins have been placed a t disposal of t h e council. Guards which had been stationed a t public offices and other buildings have been withdrawn. Friederich Ebert .-(vice-president of the Social Democratic party), is c a r rylng on the chancellorship. The text of the statement by the people's government reads: "In the course of a short time for mation of a new German people's government was initiated, The greater part of the Berlin garrison and other troops stationed there temporarily went over to the new government. •«* "Leaders of deputations of the Social- Democratic party declared that they would not shoot against the people They said they would, in accord with the people's government, intercede in favor of order, Thereupon in offices and public buildings guards which had been stationed Caere were withdrawn. "Business of the imperial chancellor is being carried on by the Social' Democratic deputy, fterr Short "It i s presumed {hat apart from representatives of the nmJorUy group three independent 8«nal-Democret* will enter the future Copenhagen—Berlin is in the hands of the German resolutionaries. The revolt sweeps on throughout the empire. From the crown prince's palace, the city hall, the postoffice, and all other public buildings in the capital, flies the red flag. Seizure of Berlin was not, however, without terrific street battles, though the new government, in an official statement sent broadcast, attempts to minimize the bloodshed. Dispatches as to the situation as It now stands are conflicting, some indicating that comparative order h a s been restored, while others tell of continued violent fratricidal fighting. Hearing of the wild disorders m Hamburg, some Socialists leaders hurried to that port from Berlin by aeroplane. The Prussian war minister, General von Schenck, appears to retain his office. His orders, however, must be countersigned by Ebert. The whole Rhine provfnce is controlled by the rebels. One dispatch anticipates "a long list of notable German suicides." The general tendency of the news is that the bulk of the military, inchiding the majority of officers, joined (he revolt as soon as they saw the people were in dead earnest. This, for tho present, has averted a colossal civil war, which may, however, flare up a* soon as the armistice is signed and 4,000,000 soldiers, beaten and embittered, pour back into the strifetorn fatherland. Formation of a socialistic -government is in progress. Only three nonsocialist ministers are slated to participate. Among them will be Dr. Mathias Erzberger, Centrist leader, and head of the armistice commission. There will be three independent socialises in the ministry. Dr. Ebert, in his appeal for maintenance of order, announced that Prince Maxmfllian of Baden had relinquished the chancellorship. There is a degree of obscurity as to the exact present status of the Baden prince. It is possible that he will act as regent pending convocation of a national con* stifuent assembly. Bad Time for. Princes. More likely, however, is his complete elimination from the government this being a precarious time for princes, even sueh as have long fought In the forefront of the democratization movement. The prince, who played such an important part in bringing about the upheaval, is believed to continue in the councils of the new regime, but more behind than upon the scenes. Dr, Friedrich Ebert, Socialist deputy, Is acting chancellor, He, together with all other leaders, excepting a few radicals, is bending might and main to restore order and avert farther bloodshed. Steps are under way for election of a constituent assembly to decide the future form of government If the Socialists have their way Germany will become a federated republic. Kings, grand! dukes and dukes are abdicating or swept away. " I m u s t " said the forget-me-not turning Its blnsj eyes upon the, Johnny-jump-up.

You know I believe In the old saying which goes something like t h i s : • " 'Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.' " The Johnny-jump-up looked greatly astonished. "Aly dear forget-me-not what a curious saying for you to like. In the first place you are not a man, and you can't be healthy, wealthy or wise as a man can." "But I can be healthy, wealthy and wise as a forget-me-not. They might have put me in that place where the word 'man' goes, but I would have upset the rhyme which is a most important part of verses I believe. "Yes, I can he a healthy forget-menot and grow year after year. 1 ci»n he wealthy by having lots of lovely blue blossoms and the more they pick me the more will I come out. That would be wealth for me and for them —by them I mean the people of course. I have to be picked with scissors or very carefully so my roots aren't torn up. But my idea of wealth is to be able to give loads and loads of flowers to people and still keep on blooming. "Then as far as wisdom is concerned— it is wise for me to grow in this garden for I am loved and"appreciated here." "But," persisted the johnny-Jump-up, "you also spoke backwards. You said early to bed and early to rise. Now you rise first and go t o bed, afterwards. You woke up in the spring, You're going to bed now." "It depends which way yon look a t it," said t h e forget-me-not "I am going to bed now—and I'll get up In the early summer.again. You see—just begin from this end instead «f the summer end."

Sywopdft.—Lieut Mark Wallace, U. S. A^ is wounded at the battle of Santiago. While wandering alone Is the Jungle he comes across a dead man in a hut outside of which a little girl Is playing. When he is rescued he takes the giri to the hospital and announces his intention of adopting her. His commanding officer. Major Howard, tells him that the dead man. was Hampton, a traitor, who sold department secrets to an international gang In Washington and was detected by himself and Kelterman, an officer in the same office. Howard pleads to be allowed to send the child home to his wife and they agree that she shall never know tier father's shame. Several years- later Wallace visits Eleanor at a young ladies' boarding school. She gives him a pleasant shock by declaring that when she is eighteen she intends to marry him. More years pass and Wallace remains In the West At the' outbreak of the European war Colonel Howard calls Wallace to a staff post in Washington. He finds Eleanor there, also Kellerman. in whom he discerns an antagonist For years a strange man has haunted Eleanor's footsteps, following but never accosting her. One night Wallace sees the man and follows him to a gambling house kept by a Mrs. Kenson. Here the strange man is attacked by Kellerman. Wallace rescues him and takes him to his own apartment In the night the man, who gave his name as Hartley, disappears. CHAPTER VI t. On the way to the war department the foHiMrfog morning he was puzzling over tbo affair, Kellerman's presence In Mrs. Reason's house, and Kellerman's possible connection wkh Hartley, who watched Eleanor. He could not arrive at any but the most fanUstlc solutions. Kellemwn welcomed him with his usual suvfty. They carried up the papers v£ro><i the safe; then Kellerman called Mark Into his own office. "About last night, Wallace—" he began. "Of course you acted all right, as you understood the situation, but there was a good deal that you did not understand. That man you took borne to your rooms is a sort of international stool pigeon, if I can coin the phrase. Quite despicable—the one-time gentleman who has lost his honor; and dangerous, because he knows things, that nobody would credit htm with knowing. I suppose you wonder what I was doing in Mrs. Kenso&'s place?" "Not at all, Major Kellerman.** "My dear Wallace," said Kellerman, laying a hand on Mark's shoulder, MI want to give you a piece of advice. This is quite apart from our work here. I dost think your qualities are adapted to headquarters work. Qo back to^rour battalion—or, rather, take, advantage of your friends In Washington to secure a good post"—he emphasised the- adjective— *in regimental work.*5 And as Mark looked at him in stupefaction, Kellerman added coolljt: "I am not speaking officially, my dear Wallace. Take the suggestion as a friendly one. If I can make it a little dearer to you, your presence in Washington is inconvenient to me for personal reasons, t thlnk-yeu will appreciate the reasons—the reason, rather.** The man's insolence was maddening. Mark's impulse was to dash his flats into bis face. But discipline told. Mark saluted stiffly and went away. He sat down at his desk, fuming. Of «ourse Kellerman had referred to Eleanor; aad H suddenly occurred to Hark that Kellermaa might have made * good deal of headway during s i s absence, Mark and Colonel Howard occupied m amafl room at the end oi the corridor; the clerks* room was without; between the two, accessible from each, wis KeUerman'i office, which oommnnieated, in t u n , witlkthe Brigadier's, Colonel Howard came in after a white, and they went over their plans together.

Mark worked steadily. The-omission was found, the computations were balancing. A clerk knocked at the door. "What is It?" asked Mark impatiently. "A man to see you, sir. He says his name's Hartley. Shall I show him In?" "Good Lord, no! I'll see him in the waiting room," answered Mark. He locked the office door, went through the clerks' room and into the anteroom. Hartley was standing beside the window. He looked up sheepishly as Mark entered. "Well?" asked Mark crisply. Hartley grinned. "I didn't take the cups or the picture, Captain Wallace," he said. "Well, what about !t* What can I do for you?" "Why, I—I wanted to tell you as much, Captain Wallace. Tve sunk low, but not to theft. Only I didn't feel 1 could stay." "Good Lord, man, Is that all you have come to tell me?" "Well, you see—there was something else, but—" stammered Hartley. "Out with it, then!" "I wanted to thank you for what you did for me, and—" The man seemed to be trying to spin out the Interview for some indefinite purpose. Mark turned on his heel. His temper was aot of the best Just then, and Hartley was the last man in the world whom he wanted to see. *'A11 right," he answered. M8teer clear of that woman—of Mrs. Kenson, Hartley. It's evident that she doesn't reciprocate your feelings, or whatever they are, and she seems to have some dangerous friends about her." He relented suddenly, and, gofng forward, clapped the man on the shoulder. **I guess you've had your troubles, Hartley," he said. "But pull yourself together, man." -""* The sheepish, unmanly mask dropped from Hartley's face. He caught Mark's hand impulsively. *Tm a cur, Captain Wallace!** he criod. «1—I—- "That's all right, JHartley. But, by the way, who told you my namef^ "Captain Wallace, don't ask me that! Go back! Never mind me! Qo back into your office at oncer cried Hartley. - He broke past Mark with a sudden, spasmodic movement, gained the door, and ran down the corridor. Mark looked after him in stupefaction. Hartley nad not been drunk, and his presence there had seemed purposeless. Suddenly, with an intuition of danger, he hurried through the clerks' office, unlocked his door, and entered. The room was filled with a furious gust of wind. The mobilisation papers were whirling on his desk in front of f that crooked gang, and that story— tbeopen window. The circular fan, wWch had been distributing « gentle, breast Imper* ttalty from slde>to side, now poured its current nf air isaiediaterjp upon Ma*1* dealt #* * a t e laorssoeot had been stopped, and fc had been set toniaxnwu ^ • * 4«HBd* fsat-not Hit tBBtit fan tajMrttr si Hat 1% the little Hartley, be had sees Kellerman at work through the glass door that connected their two offices. Now Kellerman's desk was vacant Mark stemmed down the window; there were two locks, and Mark and Kellerman had each a key. Nobody could have entered. But Mark was positive that Kellerman had set the fan. It stood on a shelf against the partition. Looking up, Mark saw that there was a tiny hole immediately behind it large enough to permit an inserted wire to push back the lever that controlled the rotary apparatus. Yet this might have been nothing but a wormholft in the wood framework of the door. With a gasp of rage Mark hastily stopped the fan and ran back to his desk. He began collecting the papers. They had blown hither and thither; some had fallen behind the desk, some on the radiator. The floor was littered with them. Had any gone out of the window? There should have been two hundred and nine. There was nothing to do but count them. Mark began, but his fingers trembled so that; he could hardly turn the pages. In the very middle of tbi* task the door clicked; the Brigadier and Colonel Howard entered. "Well, Wallace, finished, I hope?" asked the Brigadier with the cordiality of one who has been refreshed by a good dinner. "Let me see!" Mark turned the leaves nervelessly, while the Brigadier and Howard stood silently beside him. He reached the end. He had counted exactly two hundred. That might fcave been an error. But the paper was not there. He looked up to see the Brigadier peering into his face with an extraordinary expression. He heard himself stammering, fumbling for words; he stopped. Colonel Hownrd sprang forward and caught him by the shoulder. "Wallace, my dear fellow, pull yourself together!" he was pleading. "What's that you're saying? Blown out of the window? It's the heat, sir. He's been overdoing it!" "Very possibly," said the Brigadier caustically. "Pray have a look, then, Howard. Take your time." Mark was searching again. He stopped as they came to the last paper, which was now the two hundred and third. "It's no use. Colonel Hownrd," he cried. "It has gone out of the window. I was called out When I came back the fan was tHrned on my desk and the papers were blowing about the room. Somebody—perhaps the mechani*m slipped. I don't know. I'm tired—my God, how tired I am!" The Colonel was pushing him into a chair. He heard the storming voice of the Brigadier a long distance away. Howard was expostulating. They were going through the papers again. A clerk had been called in. Mark heard something about searching the streets. Somebody was telephoning. And, above all, he was conscious of Kellerman in the next room, long before he opened the glass door and entered. He was alone, and struggling back into the realization of his situation. Kellerman's threat and his refusal to consider it, the visit of Hartley, began to link themselves into the chain of the devilish conspiracy. He rose unsteadily to his feet wiping the sweat from his forehead. Colonel Howard was coming through the open doorway from Kellerman's room. "Sit down, Wallace," he said gravely. "I've been talking to the Brigadier, or, rather, he has been talking to me. You must consider yourself under arrest In your quarters. Now, how did this damned thing happen?" Mark explained as tamely as one who had heard excuses of all kinds from soldiers brought before him for various offenses during his term of service, and waved them aside, **You know what this means, Wallace?** asked the Colonel In a kindly, serious tone. "New plans." •Tea, but to you?" *I guess so, Colonel Howard. And r<f like to hurry It through. Of course I khall want it over. 1*11 go home now, and—H "Stop!" Colonel Howard's challenge had a triumphal ring to it. He placed his bands on Mark's shoulders and swung him round, looking straight into his eyes, "Thank God for that Mark!" he cried. "I fought the Brigadier over you, and Ptl fight him to the end of time. I told him it was a damned 41e.

She was -coming out of a store, and going, evidently, toward the cab which was waiting against the street curb. They almost ran Into each other. Mark lifted his hat-mechanically, nnd thought she was about to pass, but suddenly she took him by the arm, and looked at him earnestly, extreme concern upon her face. "What's the matter, Uncle Mark?" she ashed* "You're ill—you're looking frightfully ill." "Well, it's a pretty hot day," said Matk. "Yes, but you can stand heat, Uncle Mark. You don't look fit to be around. How long have you been ill, and hove you been working all the time, and why didn't you send for me?" "I'm not ill, Eleanor," said Mark, trying to smile. "Then why haven't you been to see us? Have you forgotten our talk that night? What's the reason? Tell me!" "Your father keeps our noses to the grindstone, Eleanor." "That isn't true, and please don't play with me as if I were a child, Captain Wallace. Come, get Into this cab at once! 1 am going to take you home and have Mrs. Howard look after you at once. Oh, you are laughing!" It was rather a grim Jest to Mark, but It occurred to him that It would help to alienate Eleanor. She drew away from him and looked at him with those keen, scrutinizing eyes that had in some measure discomfited him at the Misses Harpers' school. "Uncle Mark," she pleaded, "do tell me why you are acting so horribly when I am only thinking of you. It's Just the way you acted thnt other night until we got to understand each other. And tell me why you haven't come to us." "Well, Eleanor, the truth is," «ald Mark, "the work at the onlce has Just about taken it all out of me. And then, In my position, of course there are visits that I must pay." "Of course," said Eleanor ironically. "Go on, Uncle Mark. I shall see through you presently." "But I have been meaning to visit you soon. Only, you know, I am not In any sense your guardian now, and so, Eleanor, If you want me to be frank, it Is a little unreasonable of you to put forward my duties in that respect when I have no compensations." She started. "You mean that you didn't want to come?" she asked. "I did want to. But I have so many duties—" "Thank you. That's quite enough, Captain Wallace. My conduct In in trading on such a busy man has been quite inexcusable. Good day, Captain Wallace!" She made a mocking little bow and went toward her cab. She stopped and looked back. The brief anger was ended. Bat Mark was already free from that Intolerable Interview and stumbling homeward. He let himself In, wrote out his resignation, and mailed i t As he paced his room, pondering over the situation, it seemed to him that the key to the mystery lay with Hartley. Even yet he had not allowed himself to believe Kellerman a traitor. But it was essential that he should find Hartley, and insist upon a confession, both of his motives In watching the Colonel's house, and of those that had brought him to the war department. Suddenly the telephone Interrupted his meditations. A woman's voice st the other end was asking for him. "Are you quite sure yon are Captain Mark Wallace?" It inquired, when he had stated his identity. . "I am as sure as I have ever been," answered Mark. WaMaoe receives a strange offer, whioh he Indignantly rejects, and thei»—daHtness.

Unto These Arrive There May Be a Temporary Shortage. All Deals Postponed —Buy in Small Lots Only. RETAILERS CAN GET IMMEDIATE SHIPMENTS DIRECT BY PARCEL POST. This advertisement is written on Monday, October 21 st. It is directed to the attention of nil distributers of Vlck's VapoRub, both wholesale and retail. In an emergency such as. the present epiden«ic—-our duty—and your duty—is to distribute VapoRub In the quickest possible manner to those* sections stricken by Influensa. We. therefore, call your careful attention to the following: DANGER OF SHORTAGE IF SUPPLY 13 NOT CONSERVED On Ociuber 1st we bad on hand, nt our Factory and in twenty warehouses scattered over the country, sufficient VapoRub to last us, we thought, until January 1st, allowing for a 50 per cent Increase over last year's-sales, and not counting our daily output. This big excess stock had been accumulated during the summer months. Then this epidemic of Spanish Influenza hit us—and in the last fen days this stock has vanished. At first we thought this tremendous demand would last only a few days, but the orders have run: Wed., Oct. 1« 18,504 dot. Thur., Oct. 17 25.323 doz. Fri., Oct., 18 39.250 doz. Sat., Oct. 19 45,833 doa. Mon., Oct. 21- 77,705 doz. Up to Saturday. October 19th, we have actually shipped for this month $400,284.10. or over two million Jars of VapoRub. THE PROBLEM NOW 18 TO DISTRIBUTE VAPORUB QUICKLY. Most of this tremendous quantity Is still en route to the Jobbers, but freight and express are both congested nowadays, and it may be some time before this supply reaches the Jobbers. In the meantime,^ therefore, It Is necessary that we distribute, as widely as possible, the stock that we are manufacturing dally, together with that now on the jobbers' and retailers' shelves, in order that It may get to the Influenza districts quickly, Our normal output Is about 4,000 dozen per day. We are putting on a night shift, but it will be a little while before that is producing. WHAT WE ASK THE WHOLESALE DRUGGIST TO DO. Last -Saturday we notified all of our Jobbers, by Special Delivery, as follows: 1st—Deals and- quantity shipments of all kinds are cancelled. Fill no quantity orders of any kind, whether taken by our salesman or by your own. Sell tn small lots only. 2nd—Order from ng la as small THE VICK CHEMICAL COMPANY, still quicker, we wtll ship direct to your retail customers quantities not more than three (3) dozen 80c size at any one shipment. 4th-^-We are now out of the 00c sise and will be for the next ten days. WHAT WE ASK, THE RETAIL DRUGGIST TO DO. Buy In as small quantities as possible. If you have any qunntlty orders, given the- Jobber's salesmen or given to our salesmen, don't bother about them—no heed to write us—It Is absov lutely impossible to fill these orders at this time. If the jobbers in your territory are out of Vlck's VapoRub, we will ship you by Parcel Post, prepaid, quantities not more than three (3) dozen 80c size in any one order. Naturally, we can't open accounts at this time, so your check or money order for this amount must accompany order. Don't write us stating to ship thru your Jobber, as we then have to wait until we write this jobber and get his O. K. If you wish the goods to come thru your Jobber, have Mm order them for you. SNOWED UNDER WITH CORRE- 8PONDENCE. Our force has already been "shot to pieces'*—twenty-four of our men are wearing Uncle Sam's khaki—and this recent rush has simply buried us. ATI our sales force has been called In to help In the office and factory. We Just mention this so you won't hold It against us If your wires and letters aren't answered promptly. SPECIAL BOOKLETS ON SPANISH INFLUENZA. We will send, on request, to any retall druggist, 100 or raorev little booklets, just issued, on Spanish Influenza, giving the latest Information about this disease—its history—fhe symptoms— the treatment and particularly theTise of Vlck's VapoRub as an external application to supplement the physician's treatment. NEW WAYS TO U8E VAPORUB. In addition to the usual method of using VapoRub—that Is, applied over the throat and chest and covered with hot flannel cloths—our customers are writing us dally telling of their success In using VapoRub in other ways, particularly as a preventive. They melt a little in a spoon and inhale the vapors arising, or melt It In a benzoin steam kettle. Where the steam kettle is not available, VapoRub can be used in an ordinary teakettle. Fill the teakettle naif full of boiling water, put in half a teaspoon of VapoRub from time to time—keep the" kettle Just slowly boiling and Inhale the steam arising. According to a Bulletin Just Issued by the Public Health Service, Dr. Stiles recommends that the nose and throat be kept coated with some oily substance. For this purpose VapoRub is excellent—Just put. a little up the nostrils' from lime to time and snuff well back into the air passages. GREENSBORO. N. C No Bar There.

LESSON I8y REV. P. B.. FITZWATER, D. D., Teacher of English Bible In the Mood/ Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright. 1918, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 10 JACOB DECEIVES HIS FATHER. LESSON TEXT-GenesU 27:18-28. GOLDEN TEXT—Speak every man truth with his neighbor.—Bpheaians 4:». DEVOTIONAL. RJSADlNG-EpheaiaiU 4;2&-32. ADDITIONAL MATERIALr-Genesls 27: 1*45: Proverbs 12:17-20; Zech&rl&h 8:16-17; Acta 6:1-11. I. I sale's Purpose Regarding tho Birthright (27:1-4). The inflrmity of old age reminded Isaac that he should set his house in order. The particular matter needing attention was the determination as to who should be the head of the house when he was gone. As to whether Isnaa knew what God had told Rebekah concerning Jacob's priority we are not told (Gen. 25:23), but it is evident that he lacked spiritual discernment, being under the sway of his appetite. Even though he was ignorant of God's plan as revealed to Hebekah, Esau's action' in marrying heathen women (Gen. 26; 34, 35), ought to have convinced Isaac that Esau was unfit to be the head of the house which was in line of the covenant blessjng. li. Rebekah's Scheme to Frustrate Isaac's Plan (vv. 5-17). Having heard Isaac's- instructions to tsau, she took steps to divert the father's blessing from Esau to Jacob. She knew it was God's will that Jacob should have the birthright, but had no scruples as to what method should be used in its accomplishment. 1. Rpbeknh's instructions to Jacob (w. 5-10). She sent Jacob to bring two kids from the goats, promising that she would make savory meat, such as Isaac loved. She knew that Isaac's weak spot was his stomach. 2. Jacob's hesitancy (vv. 11-17). He foresaw the difficulty and danger which confronted him. His hesitancy was not bevuuse he had conscientious scruples ngaiust doing the deed, but was afraid of being found out. Some have a desire to do evil, but refrain from it because they are afraid of being caught. Rebekah undertakes to bear the curse that may come, so Jacob's scruples are set aside. She clothes him with Esau's raiment, and places Into his hands the food. III. Jacob Deceives Esau (vv, 18-29). 1. Jnterview between Isaac and Jacob (vv. 18-25). The quickness with which the savory meat was brought, aroused suspicion in the mind of Isaac. In der to allay that suspicion Jacob deliberately lied. He not only lied, but blaspheme 1 the name of God In declaring that his success was due to the help of Jehovah. This lie is again repeated when Isaac questions him further. One He calls for another. Having started on the road of deception he was obliged to lie in order to cover up his deceit. 2. The paternal blessing (vv. 28-29). It embodied the following particulars: (1) A fertile soil and abundant products (v. 28). Man is dependent upon God for the fruitage of the soil. Few stop to consider their obligation to him for temporal blessings. (2) National pre-emitfence (v. 29). God was to give him a numerous and powerful offspring. This has in a large measure been fulfilled,' but in a still larger measure It remains to be fulfilled. (3) Pre-eminence among his kindred (v. 29). "The elder shall serve the younger/ (4) The object of God's especial care (v. 29). Being God's choice, God obligates himself to care for him. Those who would misuse Jacob would suffer; those who would favor Jacob would be favored. Those who are chosen of God enjoy his special care, and woe be to him who would dare to molest them. This Included temporal and spiritual blessing*. Happy la he who enjoys the friendship of God. IV. eUau*a Remorse (w. 30-38). Scarcely had Isaac ceased blessing Jacob till Esau came for the blessiag. Hie seiret was now out Lying and deceit cannot long be hid. In the face of what bad been done, Isaac snakas with fear. No doubt-this is due to the manifest presence of Jehevah. Esau gives forth a terrible wsJL While shedding bitter tears of disappointment, he rages with passkn and plans to murder Jscob after Isaac's death* This is a most bitter experience far Easti, but he is merely reaping what fee sowed* for a brief tadttlgeace of 1 * test* ltt*sold Ws brrtbright. lfajr 9sa«<S foOy warn us of dtc^ateg Jeslh STOMACH ACIDITY, INDIGESTION, GAS QUICK!

The influenza runs a very brief course when the patient us careful, and if we keep the system in good condition and throw off the poisons which tend to accumulate within our bodies, we can escape the disease. Remember the»e three C'»—a clean mouth, a clean skin, and clean bowels. To carry off poisons from the system and keep the bowels loowe, daily doses of a pleasant laxative bhould be taken. Such a one is made of May-apple, leaves of aloe, root of jalap, and called Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Hot lemonade should be used freely if attacked by a cold, and the patient should be put to bed after a hot mustard foot-bath. To prevent the attack of bronchitis or pneumonia and* to control the pain, Anuric tablets Bbould be obtained at the drug store, and one given every two hours, with lemonade. The Anuric tablets were first discovered by Dr. Pierce, and, as they flush ths bladder and cleanse the kidneys, they carry away much of the poisonw and the uric acid. It is important that broths, milk, buttermilk, ioe-cream and simple diet be given regularly to strengthen the system and increase the vital resistance. The fever is diminished by the use of the Anuric tablets, but in addition, the forehead, arms and hands may be bathed with water (tepid) in which a tablcspoonful of salaratus has been dissolved in a quart.

TERMS WILL BE MADE PUBLIC Trent and Trieste Have Been Occupied By Italian and Allied Force*. Berne.—Count Karolyi, after obtain. ing a release from his oath of fealty to the emperor, proclaimed a republic in Hungary, according to a dispatch to the Bund from Vienna, quoting the Viense newspaper, Die Zeit. Paris.—Official announcement was made here Sunday evening an armistice has been signed with Austria Hostilities will cease at 3 o'clock Monday afternoon. Announcement of signing of the armistice reached the premiers while they were in session in the apartment of Colonel House, President Wilson's personal representative, this afternoon, and gave the greatest satisfaction. It was arranged conditions of the armistice would be made public promptly. Vienna (via London).—"Hostilities have ceased on the Italian theater of war", says an official statement issued here. "An armistice has been concluded*:, the statement adds. Austria Signs Armistice Terms. Washington. — Armistice terms which Austrians have accepted are expected here to furnish clear index to those the supreme war council at Versailles is preparing for Germany. Consequently their publication will carry greater significance than otherwise would attach since the Aus. trian surrender had been discounted In advance by internal disintegration of the dual monarchy and collapse of Austro-Hungarian forces on the Italian front. 0 fllcial announcement the armistice had been signed has reached the state department. In making this known, officials gave no indication of terms imposed, nor was there any explanation of why cessation of hostilities had been delayed 24 hours or more after actual signing of the art. idea of surrender. The - generally accepted view, however, seemed, to be that it was desired to have virtually all Italian soil freed of enemy troops before Italian armies were committed to end their attacks upon routed Austrian forces. Military men here said terms the supreme war council had prepared would make it impossible for Austrians to renew hostilities, probably including disarming of enemy troops and occupation of strategic points a3 well. Some of these, namely Trent and Trieste, already have been occupied by Italian and Allied forces. Free movement of Allied forces through Austria to attack Germany from the south, should the supreme war command decide this stroke necessary in the future, also is expected to be stipulated. Unofficial reports from Vienna said Germans were preparing for such an attack by feverishly digging trenches on and fortifying the Bavarian frontier. Defection of Austria leaves Germany stripped of its last ally and most of the military men here, both Allied and American, believe her capitulation will follow soon after terms from Versailles are submitted. War Council in Session. Exchanges of views between Colonel E. M. House, special representative of the American government in France, and Allied premiers continued at Colonel House's home in Paris, and apparently the general terms for Germany are not yet ready lor submission to the Allied military leaders for consideration with their regard to military necessities. Colonel House is keeping President Wil- •on constantly advised as to progress of events. Great importance is attached here to the course followed by Allied and American governments in deferring peace settlements with Austria, Turkey And Bulgaria until Germany also shall surrender or be crushed. This policy li counted upon to prevent any eleventh hour attempt on the part of Germans to sow seeds of discord amour the Allies. la view of the general situation, smashing Franco-American victories v aorta aa4 watt? of Verdun are regarded ae signitcygt.

Rome.—Italian and Allied forces in their drive In northern Italy have captured 100,000 Austro- Hungarlans, the Italian war office announced. More than 2,200 guns have been taken. west in half before there is another halt. With hardened mountaineers of the Italian army available for use elsewhere with the surrender of Austria, observers look for Immediate preparation for invasion of Germany by way of Alsace-Lorraine. Italian picked troops might be spared at once to join such a campaign as they would not be needed to carry out operations incidental to the Austrian surrender. Not only will the whole fighting man power of Allied and American armies be available now for the task of crushing Germany's defensive front, but to supplement the already vastly superior equipment of those armies In guns, aircraft and all Qther war machinery, there is now at the disposal of Marshal Foch all the Bulgarian, Turkish and Austrian military equipment. Tfc answer such a concentration Germany has only depleted reserves of men, guns and munitions. Italian Front Moving Forward.

Slice a carrot that is one too many to cook, -and dry la the warming oven; dry a few mushrooms— in fact, dry almost any small bit and it will be useful later. A small hundful of all these vegetables, dried and put together in a can, may be used as soup flavoring when needed.

Chapataa.) WALLACE HAS AN UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTER WITH MAJOR KELLERMAN. Synopsis.—Lieut. Mark Wallace, U. S. A„ Is wounded at the battle of Santiago. While wandering alone In the Jungle he comes across a dead man In a hut outside of which a little girl Is playing. When he is rescued he takes the girl to the hospital and announces his intention of adopting her. His commanding officer, Major Howard, tells him that the dead man was Hampton, a traitor, who sold department secrets to an international gang in Washington and was detected by himself and Kellerman, an officer In the same office. Howard pleads to be allowed to send the child home to his wife and they agree that she shall neyer know her father's shame. Several years later Wallace visits Eleanor at a young ladles' boarding school. She gives him a pleasant shock by declaring that when she is eighteen she Intends to marry him. More years pass and Wallace remains In the West. At the outbreak of the European war Colonel H6ward calls Wallace to a staff post in Washington. He finds Eleanor there, also Kellerman, in whom he discerns an antagonist. I ,•=>.•*'• * ^ * * r - CHAPTER V—Continued. "Schoolgirls can Judge character as •well as grown-ups." "And so you think you know me, and —and you're not altogether disappointed ?" asked Mark, smiling at last. "I'm not disappointed In you at all, If you aren't in me. Dear Uncle Mark, people don't really change—never, never! Only they learn to adapt them- «elvea,to their environment*. You are jtnffthe same as ever—Just the quiet, •sensitive, chivalrous Uncle Mark I've *lways dreamed of." "Well," said Mark, "I see that there are hopes that I shall regain the little -ward whom I've always thought about -And, of course, I ought to have reflected that your environment has been very different from the one I could &ave given you." "I wish I'd been with you, Uncle Mark," she answered impulsively. "Why didn't you keep me when yoqhad jrour chance, if you wanted me? Oh, dear Uncle Mark, that was so like you, too—giving up to others. And you never sent me that photograph!" "I've never had one taken since, Eleanor." "But I've got you yourself now," said the girl. "So you mustn't give me up any more, no matter who seems to have a better claim on me, Will you .promise me that?" Mark knew Bow f«r certain that be had found his own. "I promise," he -answered. "Because, you know, I've been very .happy with Colonel and Mrs. Howard. But this isn't the best and biggest part of me that you see here. If I could :have had'my way I'd rather have been living a more useful life somewhere— somewhere where I hadn't quite so .many things that I want. Colonel Howard gives me everything he thinks 1 want. But—you see, Uncle Mark. something is missing. You remember -what we talked over—about my being t h e regimental mascot?" Mark nodded, watching her face closely. "Well, all that's over and gene. There isn't any regiment now, anyway. All the old people have gone out of It. And we were three years In San Francisco, you know. And—Oh, Uncle Mark, I wish we could have those days again, when I used to dream-about my father and—aod—'* "I know, m y dear," said Marie. - "I've always gecretly hoped* that I should know, some day. But I've almost stopped hoping, except for one thing that Tve never told anybody. T o n remember what I said to y<ra about a man watching me?" "He doesn't watch yon now, Eleanor I" She nodded. "He has come back," s h e answered. "Ha's older and grayer, *>ut he's the same man. I've seen him bere, in Washington. And I've never dared to speak of i t even to Colonel iHoward, bat I know it's not a delusion, Uncle Mark." "And yon think he has some connection with your father, Eleanor?" asked Hark. "I dos't know what to think. What do you think, Uncle Mark?" asked the g i r l "I think, my dear," said Mark deliberately, "that It isn't the same man. I t stands' to reason it can't he. Why should he neve watched yen all these years add never spoken to you? No, Eleanor, I think you've, had this Idem so long that you have misinterpreted —I mean—" " I ' k n o w what you mean, U n d o Mark. Well, it doesn't matter. And now I must go hacsr to Mrs. Howard or they will be wondering what h a s become «1 me. But we're picked u p oar Bsssserlesv h a v e o t wot And 1¾ see a lot of you, Uncle Mark, before you go to the war?" CHAPTER VI. But Mark refused Colonel Howard's invitation to become his guest, and avoided the house in Massachusetts circle as much as he could with decency. He was courageous enough to analyze his reasons and he did not conceal the result from himself. He wanted Eleanor with all the pentup longing of the denied years In the desert. His love was the strongest passion that he had ever felt, and yet, strangely for a man of his years, It had in it much more of the paternal ele ment than of the lover. All his life he had been almost klnless, his only sister was dead, he wanted Eleanor's presence, Eleanor with him, to see her every day, whether as wife or daughter. Yet he was brave enough to acknowledge that this love, selfless In a measure, threatened to become a consuming passion If he did not hold himself rigidly in check. He, the middle-aged captain, and Eleanor, with her station, her prospects and her beauty—it was an impossible dream, or one that would ruin the girl's life if, in some wild moment, she made it truth. He had his reward In Eleanor's increasing restraint, her quite visible Indignation. They had fallen apart again, after that single meeting. It was a poor reward, but the sort that Mark had received all his life from fortune. But there were lonely nights when life seemed unbearable, and he had to exert all his will power to keep himself in check. Mark had rented a little furnished apartment in the Norths west section, off Pennsylvania avenue, and he had found the desert more companionable. One night he felt at the end of his powers-. That was after a grilling day in the war office, one of those days that sometimes come in Washington toward the middle of September, when everything is as sticky as the asphalt sidewalks. It had been a day of evil portent besides. Colonel Howard, who had seemed of late to reflect Eleanor's coolness in some measure, had greeted him with a wry face when he came in. "The devil's to pay, Mark," he said. "Draw up your chair. There's a leakage In the department." - "What?" cried Mark. "Things are getting known—for instance, our dealings with the shipping people. They've found the exact number of ships we've requisitioned. You . know whom I mean by 'they.'" Mark nodded. The cosmopolitan influences in Washington, whose ramiflcations extended to the ends of the earth, or, at least, across the Atlantic, were busy In every drawing room extracting news, the? tiniest and least re* liable of which was not despised, since many such single items make up a coherent story. "The Brigadier's wild about It," continued the Colonel, pulling at his mustache, "And it seems impossible to detect ^ how the leakage occurred. It must have been through the shipping companies, of course; yet they.couldn't have pieced the thing together without concerted- action, which is out of the question. Let's go through the papers." They opened the safe and went through them one by one, but nothing was missing. "Damn it 1" growled Colonel Howard. T v e been through this before, Mark —you know t h a t In that cast there was a traitor a t work. Wo fosmd him. In this case there can be none; at least, in the war department And ? r s told the Brigadier H I answer with my ptaes for discovering where the leak hea» He closed the safe and strode off into Kellennan's room, to return with Kellerman, looking angrier than before. . "What are we going to do, Kellerman?" he asked. Kellerman pursed out his lips. "Well, Colonel, you know as much about It as any of us," he answered. "There's always been two of us present night and morning when the papers were transferred. I'll vouch for you, Wallace will, I presume, vouch for me, and you, I presume, will vouch for Wrullace." The sinister look on his face affected Mark more disagreeably than ever. Mark felt nettled, though the words had been fair. "If there's been a leak," he said "it seems to-me it's up to the Brigadier to discover it. It's outside; It Isn't our business to locate It. We're doing our part—what more can we do?" "Come along and tell the Brigadier that," suggested Howard. Mark, nothing loath, accompanied him to the General's room. But the Brigadier was more furious than Howard. "I don't know how it happened, Colonel, and I don't carel" he cried, thumping the table. "No great harm has been done so far, and of course none of the departmental clerks can be suspected. But It's got to stop, and we've got to find out how it originated." It was on that night that Mark felt at the end of his powers. It was early, he had dined and was sitting disconsolately in his apartment; nothing seemed of any value to him at that moment, and his thoughts were ranging round their eternal subject. Had It been necessary that he should have treated Mrs. Howard and Eleanor boorishly, to protect himself? He put on his hat and went out, meaning to pay them a visit, or, at least, to walk toward their house while making his decision. He had not decided by the time he reached Massachusetts circle, and, as he stopped In doubt, he saw a man across the road, staring up at the house. Of a sft&deD Eleanor's story recurred to his mindhwith vivid force. The man was obviously watching the house, and he meant to stay there. But, as Mark started toward him, the man seemed to take fear, and shambled away. Something in his gait brought back, to Mark's mind the recollection of the man whom he had seen outside the Misses Harpers' school. And he began to follow him. It was a role that he had never played before, but Justified, In his mind, by the necessity of discovering the fellow's Identity. Without any very clear intention in his mind how he was to accomplish this, Mark made his way after the solitary figure, keeping well behind it. It soon became clear that the man, although he looked like a tramp, had a definite objective, Mark pursued him toward Pennsylvania avenue, until he discovered that he was nearing the least desirable part of Washington, whose location, so near the residence of the chief executive, has always been the wonder and scandal of visitors. He was in one of those streets that start bravely in the city and debouch Into the low-lying land in that intermediate and hardly reclaimed region bordering the Potomac. The houses here were old, many appearing vacant and tumble-down, and for the most part standing each in a little garden. Mark was beginning to think of tackling the fugitive, who, unconscious of pursuit, was about fifty paces in front of him, when suddenly the man turned in at the tiny garden of an apparently deserted house and knocked at the door, which was opened almost immediately. Mark heard a subdued scream, and then the man's voice in angry altercation. He was talfilng to the woman who had opened the door. She looked about five and thirty years of age, and her face, distinctly visible against the light in the hall, was well-bred, If not attractive. She seemed one of those cosmopolitans who frequent the capital ; Mark was still uncertain whether her house was one of those residences that are still occupied in this district by the original owners, or whether she was the mistress of one of those gambling establishments that flourish of necessity along the avenues of the earlier alphabet The man seemed to be pleading with her, his gestures were growing frantic He looked about five and forty years of age; his face struck Mark with a certain odd familiarity, though he had never teen him closely before, and bore traces of breeding, blurred either by dissolute habits or by misfortune. The woman answered him In tone* of quick auger, and made u gesture of dismissal. The man held bib grouod doggedly, the voices became angrier. "No I No, 1 tell you !" the woman cried. "I don't know who you ure! Will you go?" Suddenly a mun came along the passage behind her, carrying a walking- cane with a heavy handle. He raised it and brought it ira&aiug down on the other's head. The man fell to the ground, evidently half stunned by the blow. The mun with the cane raised it aud brought it down ugain and again upon the other's head and face, in a succession of sickening crushes. Mark ran to the garden gate. The man with the stick paused, raised hia head, and looked at him. Mark recognized Kellerman. As Kellerman, in turn, recognized him, an uugry sneer spread over his face. "My dear Wallace, what the dickens are you doing here?" he demanded. "Are you try lug to kill this man?" asked Mark. Kellerman seemed nonplussed for the moment. "I hope I've given him his lesson," he answered. "He came here and demanded money, and nearly frightened Mrs. Kenson out of her senses. Let me present you—" Mark looked Into the keen, appraising eyes of Mrs. Kenson with dislike and disgust. "You'd better let him go, Major Kellerman," he said. As he spoke he saw Mrs. Kenson bite her lip vindictively. "Oh. I'll leave him to you," responded Kellerman airily. "You'll excuse me, Wallace, I'm sure, but Mrs. Kenson's auto will be here in a few, moments." Mark, hot with indignation, answered nothing, but raised the man from the ground and got him outside the gate. As he did so he heard the door of the house close softly. The tramp was half unconscious, and muttering vaguely. "Four years since I've seen her," he mumbled. "I didn't want money. Only the word. God knows I wouldn't have taken money from her as he said, the cur—" "Was she your wife?" asked Mark, thinking that he saw light. "God forbid!" ejaculated the man with convincing spontaneity. "Who are you, anyway?" he demanded, looking at him directly for the first time. "What were you doing in that place?" He grasped Mark by the arm. "Are you another friend of hers?" he asked. "Or didn't you know that it's the swellest gambling house in Washington? Mark took him by the shoulders. "What's your name and where, do you live?4" he asked. "I haven't time to waste on you, but I'm ready to help you if I can." "My name? Hartley. Good enough name, isn't it? Live? I haven't lived for more years than I remember. I'm a corpse—see? I wanted to live. That's why I came here when I heard she was in Washington. Walked from New York. Why should she be here now, unless there's another poor young fool like me for her? Where the carcass is, there are the eagles—or is it vultures?" Mark drew the man's arm through his and led him away. Presently a cab came crawling up. He hailed it and gave his address. He took him home and played the Good Samaritan, washed his wounds, plastered them, and gave the man a bed in his living room Hnrtlev had subsided into a state of frightened silence. He looked dubiously at Mark all the while he was receiving his ministrations, and would say nothing. "Now, please understand," said Mark, "I've brought you here because you seem to me to be up against it. The door's unlocked. And I'm trusting you with my things. Those cups are silver, Hartley—I won them at West Point. That little picture is by Griffin and worth about seven hundred. That's about all, I think—but I want you to understand you're free, and I'll help you if I can." Hartley flushed rather oddly, Mark thoughv, but said not a word. It was a foolish act, he thought repeatedly before he fell asleep; but he must win the man's confidence if he was to learn the mystery. And he was satisfied that his interest in Eleanor's movement boded no harm to her. In the morning, Hartley was gone, as he expected. But he had taken neither the cups nor the picture. Wallace is brought face to fees with the greatest crisis of his life. Disaster confronts him. He sees the hand of Major Kellerman behind it all, but how can he prove l\1 Dont miss the next Installment (TO BE CONTINUED.) Asn Hopper.

German prisoners who were farmers before the wur have done good service as agricultural laborers in Britain. Perhaps it must be admitted, says a writer in the Illustrated London News, that some of them work with ulterior motives. A friend of mine who understands Gorman perfectly heard n conversation between two of them. One hud just finished a hard piece of digging in first-class fashion. "You have done that very well," said his friend. "That is so," remarked the tired worker. "I think we all ought to do so. When we occupy this country our government will expect to find that we have brought it into the best order possible. We shall want nil the food It can grow." After all, the motive does not matter under the circumstances; the truth remains that German prisoners have done much for agriculture in England and are capable of doing much more.

My limbs and joints were so stiff and swollen, I could walk only with difficulty and the pains in my hips were so severe, I could hardly bear them. Every step I took was torture. My feet and limbs were swollen and so sore, I could hardly bear tny weight on them. During the night I would lie awake for hoars and become so nervous, I would have to get up.

Spanish Influenza, wkteh appeared la Spain In May, has aU the appearance of grip or la grippe, which has swept over the world in aaraeroos epidemics as far back am history run*. Hippocrates refers to an epidemic in 412 B. C whlch is regarded by many to hare been inflnenss. fivssy century has had Its attacks. Beginning with 1S31 this country has had five epidemics, the last in ISM-ltSO. THB SYMPTOMS. Grippe, or tnnuensa, as It ts now called, usually begins with a chill, followed by aching, feverishness and sometimes nausea and dizziness, and a general feeling of weakness and depression. The temperature is from 100 to 104, and the fever usually lasts from three to five days. The germs attack the mucous membrane, or lining of the air passages—nose, throat and bronchial tubes; there is usually a hard cough, especially bad at night and frequently all the appearances of a severe head cold. THB TREATMENT. Go to bed at the first symptoms, not Only for your own sake, but to avoid spreading the disease to others—take a purgative, eat plenty of nourishing food, remain perfectly quiet and don't worry. Quinine, aspirin or Dover's Powder, etc.. may be administered by ths physician's directions to relieve the aching. But ther* Is no cure or specific for Inftuennt—the disease ran its ctrvrse. Nature herself win throw off the attack if only you keep up yosx strength. The chle* danger iles in the complications which may arise. Infloerraa so weakens the bodily resistance that there Is danger of pneumonia or bronchitis developing anS sometimes Inflammation of the middle ear. or heart affections. For these reasons, it is very Important that ths patient remain in bed until his strength returns—stay In bed at least two days or more after the fever has left yon, or rf you are over 5« or not strong, stay in bed four days or more, according to the severity of the attack. BXTERNAL APPLICATIONS. I s onter to stimulate the lining s* the air passages to throw oS ths grips* gernwy to aid In loosening ths phlegm and keeping tbe air passages open, thas making the breathing easier, Vlck's VapoRub will be found effective. Hot, wet towels should be applied over the throat, chest and back between .the shoulder blades to open ths pores. Then Vlck's shoal d b* robbed in over the parts until the ski* is red, spread on thickly and eover with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing loos* aroand the, neck, as the heat of ths body liberates the ingredients in t h s forss of vapors. These vapors, inhaled with each breath, carry the medication directly to the parts affected* At the same time. VapoRub Is absorbed through a ad stimulates ths skin attracting the blood to the surface and thus aids in r«lt»v)ng> the congestion within. ROW TO AVOID THB DI SEA SSL BtVidence seems to prove that this is a germ disease, spread principally by human coataet, chiefty through coughing, sneezing or spitting. Ss> avoid persons having colds — which means avoiding crowds — common drinking cups, roller towels* etc. Keep up your bodily strength by plenty of exercise in the open air and good food. KEEP FREE FROM OOlXkS. Above aVI keep free froui colds, as colds irritate the lining ol the air passages and render them much better breeding places for the germs. Use Viek's VapoRub at the very first sign of a cold. For a head cold, melt a little in a spoon and Inhale tbe vapors^ or better still* Jse VapoRub in a benzoin steam kettle. If this is not available, use an ordinary tea-kettle. Fill half-full of boiling water, put in half a teaspoon of VapoRub from time to time—keep the kettle Just slowly boiling—inhale the steam arising.

W h e n things are obvious, people keep looking for mysteries behind them. So it is with the packing business. The mere size of Swift & Company confuses many. Because their imaginations are not geared up to scale, they believe there must be magic in it somewhere—«ome weird power. Swift & Company is just like any other manufacturing business run by human beings like yourself; it takes in raw material on the one hand and turns out a finished product on the other. Swift & Company keeps down the "spread," or the expense absorbed between raw and finished material, to as Iowa figure as possible. (If it didn*t it would be put out of business by others who do.) How much Swift & Company pays for the raw material, and how much it gets for the finished product, depends upon conditions which Swift & Company does not control. It depends entirely upon how much people want the finished product, and how much raw material there is available to make it from. The profits of Swift & Company amount to less than one cent per pound on all meats and by-products—less than one-fourth of a cent on beef. ^•» •.

Friday, A.igust 2:;rd, 11*18 Dear Sister and all: Well I thought that 1 write and tell you all the that I had while I was on and also today we ate celebrating our first year in U. S. uniform. Well to start off we started from here on the 11th, Sunday, at about 7 in the morning arriving at the town whe re sBase 17, Herper Unit is stationed, and ltayed there lor over twelve hours, eaving about 2:15 A. M. on Monday. We went direct trom there to Alx-les Bains and arrived there at about 7:30 A. M. and was assigned to a hotel and got set along the feed line The first day pawed rapidly while we were looking around the town and believe me, we saw all there was to see while we were there. The town didn't come anywhere near my expectations and so I was disappointed to start with. i guess it wsm all due to the war and the fact that Paris is quite quaint compared to the cities in the States. The stre t8, 1 mean the main boulevards, are wide and dandy to ride or# drive en. They h&ve no traffic regulations at all, and the cabs go this way and that. They don't stop for anything. They never make a square corner, just cut in anywhere and keep gaining speed with every foot. You can hire one and ride all morning for about one dollar so you see they are fairly cheap. We went to the Follies-Bergere.n the evening of the 20th and it sure was funny. They jabbered in French so we couldn't understand it, although it looked pretty good from a distance. The entrance, instead of going directly into the theater, goes into a cafe about 150 feet long. From there you go into ( t h e theater proper. You see, in that and rooms \ way they don't "have to have th£ crowd go abftut nine in the morning. out for the intermission, but Btay We looked around the town most of j right inside and drink the wine they sell the morning and afternoon, but at night [ in the cafe. We stayed there about an took in the dance at the YMCA and hour and that was enough for us. ,We certainly enjoyed ourselves. I happen-! hit for the Y and went to bed so we ed to dance with Americans, Spanish, J could get up in the morning in good English, Scotch, Irish and Italian girls ; season. We got up and had out breakdancers and like we do The committee having in charge the collection of the Y. M. C. A. War Fund of 1917 have only recently finished t h e i r w o r k .

Rivard in the train and walked back, which took three hours steady walking and running. Well I guess we stopped a couple of times for a short rest but not fast before the rooster crowed. But we only had one day left. We had to get a lot of stuff and we wanted to go out in the Y sightseeing car in the afternoon. We sailed around all morning: in cabs, going to pipe stores looking for a place where I could get mp pipe fixed and also over to Spauld- ^, '. r i i'. - t 1 •T9, C S ' i o n ad1 i o r a (i n p'r"V> G-< t h e a r e i V ' J !' t ! w e ' • • \ \ re ,l > tr.e t ,..:o long by any means. They say that the ing's to get a pair of tennis shoes for e. Had to buy a padlock get my glasses fixed and all that takes-time when you don't know where to go. Well, we got back to the Y at l i and then piled into the Y bus and got a good seat and while -bitting there who doy.ou suppose came up'and shook hands but Bernard McCluskey. Honest, you don't know how glad 1 was to see him. We went into the Y and had Ja great talk about everything that had happened since we lelt Pinckney and everything. that had happened since we came G e t i n t o a T : i.. AUCTION SALE!

I guess he stayed until after ll a.nd then he had to go. Weh. it seemed good to see someone I knew and he is the first since I left the States. On the trips around Paris in the Y bus we saw the church which was hit by the big gun on E%ster Sunday and where so many people had been killed, the store where the first shell from Idg Bertha had hit, the hotel where the first air raid bomb struck, the Arch of Triumph, Napoleon's Tomb, Eiffel Tower, Baetile Prison, Notre Da ne Cathedral, places where the high water mark from the flood a few years ago may be seen and the Invallides, where all the trophies of war are keDt and saw plenty of guns, airplanes, etc. The trip took about 1 hours and every minute was enjoyed. We took the S o'clock train- out and arrived here about o;30 p. m.,. having dinner on the train. It was real good and nor. high priced considering the amount of feed we had. I think my bill was 8fr. :>0cm. which is about .*I.(.!*.) in good old U. S. A. money. When we got back we found that the hospital had been changed into an evacuation hospital instead of a base, although t h e address is the same, and most of the patients had been evacuated. and they are waiting for new cases to come in. In this way we will probably handle enormus numbers daily when they once start, coming in. It meana more work of course but I guess that's what we're here for. Will send you a set of pictures which I toek while away as soon as they are finished. Passthis around as it is too long to rewrite about seven times and one is enough for us all.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan Thursday Oct, 31, 1918 No. 44 NOTORIOUS OTTOROHN Again in bimelight Supervisor Gilbert Madden of Dexter towaahip Wednesday presented a set of resolutions to the board of supervisors asking the state game and fish warden to remove Deputy Warden Otto Rohn from office, giving as bis reasons that Mr. Robn had peen convicted of violating the state laws on several occasions and that he was guilty of malfeasance in office. Attached t o Supervisor Madden's resolutions was an affidavit executed by Mr. and Mrs. Bert Thomas of North Lake, as follows: "State of Michigan, County of Washtenaw, ss: "Bert Thomas and Lillie Thomas of the township of Dexter, county and state aforesaid, being duly sworn each for himself, deposes and says that they are both well acquainted with Otto Rohn, deputy game and fish warden for Washtenaw county; that on one oc- | casion in the presence of one of these 1 deponents and in the hearing of the : other, the said Otto Rohn offered the deponent, Bert Thomas, pay and reward if he would encourage one Emanuel Lowry to dynamite Patterson lake i so that he, the said Otto Rohn, could ! arrest him, and at that time asked Bert \ Thomas to encourage dynamiting of said lake as much as possible. That • oi another occasion in the presence of both of these deponents said Otto Rohn . endeavored to g e t Lillie Thomas to ; catch and prepare a mess cf bass for < him, which was at that time out of 1 season. He then told the said Lillie j Thomas that she could call them some i other name and that there would be no i trouble about it. j "Bert Thomas, "Lillie Thomas. j "Subscribed and sworn to before me \ this 15th day of October, 1918. j "Edna M.

Detroit and Howell, however adhere to the old time which is one hour faster. Pinckney has taken ao action as yet but many are in favor of following the example of Detroit and Howell. The business men of Pinckney with only one exception are Btrongly in favor of conducting the town on fast time, thereby saving one hour of fuel and lights throughout the winter. The council will probably take action on the matter in the near future. Boxes for Soldiers ChristmaB packets are now hand at Nellie Gardner's store. No package must weigh more than two pouuds and fifteen ounces before being wrapped. No perishable, moist or explosive article must be sent. ' A label from the soldier from overseas with his address must be presented before the carton is sent. THE"FLU" IN PINCKNEY .Up to date there have been remarkably few cases of the epidemic in Pinckney and the immediate vicinity and so far no deaths from the disease are. reported. After OAe scholar had developed symptoms of the " f l u " school was promptly ordered closed by Dr. C. L. Sigler and this action probably headed off the spreading of the disease. While the doctors are very busy caring for patients at a distance from town, those living nearer are, so far, very fortunate in having very few cases to combat. No definite action has aa yet been taken regarding reopening the schools, but it is probable that if the situation continues to improve the Pinckney .school will again open next Monday, October 30.

WALLACE MEETS KELLERMAN AND IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZES HIM AS AN ANTAGONIST Synopai*.—Lieut. Mark Wallace. U. S. A., is wounded at the battle of Santiago. While wandering alone in the jungle he comes across a dead man in u hut outside of which a little girl Is playl»g. When he is rescued he takes the girl to the hospital and aunounces his intention of adopting her. His commanding officer, Major Howard, tells him that the dead man was Hampton, a traitor who sold department secrets to an international gang In Washington and was detected by himself and Kellerman, an officer in the same office. Howard pleads to be allowed to send the child home to his wife and they agree that she shall never know her father's shame. Several years later Wallace visits Eleanor at a young ladies' boarding school. She glv^s him a pleasant shock by declaring' that when she is eighteen she intends to marrv him. CHAPTER IV.—Continued. -A— It came in the form of n letter from Colonel Howard, the first in two years. Howard had. in the past, repeatedly tried to Induce Mark to take advantage of opportunities that he had put before \ launched into business, him, but Mark had refused stubbornly, j "I must tell you that it's a pretty until the Major had given him up in j stiff job that we're tackling, Mark," fingers and looked out of the window' into the busy hive of the capital, and tried to make himself believe that it was all true. When Kellerman had gone the Colonel invited Mark to sit down, and disgust. Howard did not know, and Mark did not himself understand, the underlying idea in his own mind, the sense of subdued rancor against the man who had robbed him of Eleanor, coupled with the sense of sacrifice, that he might withdraw all his claims on the child. Now, however, Howard made one more attempt. "I want you to think this proposition over as quickly as possible," he wn.,te, "not for my sake or yours, but because your duty is to take the Job. Willi war with Germany in plain view to the initiated, there are great things doing in Washington, and I've been offered my old [tost at the mobilization department, which has been enlarged beyond all knowledge. Your work in the West is better known than you think, Wallace, and we want you here. Wire if you can, and come by the first train. This is official, so don't wait for divisional notification, which may take days." he said. "To begin with, we're a sort of nucleus of the whole organization. We're in touch with every division. We have to Lave the wl»ote thing at our fingers' end?- *&d it's mainly a matter of ^hJps, animals, and transport. An J to cap the climax, you can Imagine *hut a nest of intrigue and espionage Washington has become in these days. And, as neutrals—ostensibly neutrals—we can do nothing to put an end to it." He stretched out his finger and pointed toward the big safe between the windows. "Any one of some two hundred papers there, Mark, would give a valuable clue," he said. "Every night, when work is finished, your task will be to open the safe, take out the inner case containing these documents, add those on which you have been working, including every waste sheet and every scrap of the day's blotting paper, and have the day porter convey them, under your personal supervision, to The letter reached Mark In one of \ t l u ' strong room, where you and either his periods of helpless despondency.

In regwtted as soon as the message had t , H ' morning the same procedure Is rebeen dispatched, but packed his suit- • ^I'si'd. And that is why I insisted case, turned over the command to the 1 ' m o u r Setting you, Mark. I know you senior lieutenant, and took the train for Washington. As he went East the years seemed to fall from him like a dream. It was a frozen labyrinth in which he seemed to have beeji wandering; he seemed to come to himself with a consciousness of years wasted, but of years of action ahead. Colonel Howard gazed curiously at him as he rose from his desk in the war office and grasped his hands. "I should never have known you, Wallace," he said. What he was thinking was, "Good, Lord, how the years have eaten into him!" "Don't think that your wprk has been unrecognized," he said, after a few minutes of desultory chatting. "It has been, and I know that recognition Is coming to you in the fullest measure. You are to work under me here; it's n big scheme that we are preparing, mv boy, and only Kellerman and I, and yourself, will be acquainted with all the details, outside of the departmental head. You remember Kellerman?" Mark nodded, trying to piece together the pictures of the* past. "We are working out the mobilization plane for the first-contingent, after It reaches France," Howard continued. "It's a bigger scheme than anything we knew In the past. You'll nctf'as my subordinate and have an intimate knowledge of the details—a sort of understudy, In foot, bnt with a good \ deal of Initiative as well. And If war comes, as It is sure to come, we'll be gent over on the first transport, to prop a w things for the troops. Ah, Kellerman, here'* Wallace, newly arrived to take over his duties." Mark saw not the slightest change in Kellerman since the days of the Cuban war. Kellerman was just as florid as ever, just *s burly, with the same rather sinister way of glancing; his black bair was unthJnned and untouched with gray. H * had borne the y e a n much better than Mark. If Kellerman reciprocated Mark's feelings, he showed nc sign of It in hh» cordial feaodgiip. ^ *JVt war* g}ad to get you, Wallace," »Ws4dv "You'll excuse me for a no» MHOU Vp* tar*? H a Oiyw Oafawat Howard aside la w e m u i o ! ) whila Mark twirled lift and I don't know the hundred of other oilicers of impeccable character whom we could have secured. We can't run risks—we simply can't. That's why I- iias to be just you and Kellerman and I. We had our lesson in the old days, you know." He frowned at the remembrance, and then answered Mark's unspoken question with another. "Where are you staying, Wallace?" "At the Congressional." "Well, I want you to come and stay with us as soon as we're settled. We've rented a house in Massachusetts circle, and move in on the first of the month. Eleanor and Mrs. Howard are still In New York, but they're coming here in about ten days' time—just as soon as I can get the house ready for them. Eleanor is dying to see you. and Mrs. Howard has the pleasantest remembrances, of course. And now I'm going to take you to the Brigadier." The short interview with the head of the department confirmed Mark's Impressions as to the businesslike nature of the plans of the war office. Mark went home. He was resolved, although he had not told the Colonel, not to become his guest—at least not unless he found that he could take up his life again where he had dropped it, years before. ADd then—but what was the use of speculating? He went home to his hotel. He was surprised to find how easily he seemed to fit Into-his environment when he donned his long-neglected evening clothes and went down to the dining room of the Congressional. Almost the first face he saw was that of a man of his class; within a few minutes Mark Wallace was seated at the dinner table with a merry party of old friends and new acquaintances. And the years had slipped away from him. On the next morning, when he took up his duties, It was with the sense that he was no longer a stranger. Washington was ready to extend her welcome to him. At the Army club, to which he was posted by Colon*! Howard, he found himself, much to his surprise, often the center of a respectful audience, eager to hear of the work 'of the army in the forlorn OBtposta of the West.. He discovered, too, with surprise, that he was by no means as unknown as he had Imagined himself to he. Then there were invitations that had to be accepted, receptions and dinners; yet through it all Mark waited for the charmed day when the house in Massachusetts circle was to be opened, displaying the princess of his imagination, the little child of the hillside, the schoolgirl, grown into the image of his dreams. CHAPTER V. When at last he alighted at the door, and was shown into the reception room, he felt that he was almost trembling with eugerness. He looked uncertainly about him, at the group of young officers, the ladies, at Mrs. Howard, and then at the stylishly dressed young woman at her side. And, forgetting his manners, he approached her in stupefaction, ignoring his hostess for the moment. "Eleanor!" "Uncle Mark ! It's never you, Uncle Mark!" cried the girl. "Why, I should never, never have known you!" But would he have known her, had he not looked closely into the clear eyes to discern che face of the little waif beneath the beauty of the woman? He bad often and often imagined her, grown to womanhood, and dressed as he would have dressed her, but somehow she had always had the look and aspect of the child, blended with the schoolgirl. A sudden chill went through his heart at her self-mastery, the wellbred welcome that had in it little of real eagerness. And he realized that, though he had always looked on her as lost, at the bottom of his heart rn must have hoped to find her again. He stood, a graylng-halredf*uncomfortable, almost middle-aged man, trying to feel at home. He saw Kellerman looking at him across the room, as if there was some message in his eyes. "I hope I haven't changed so much as all that," said Mark, trying to smile. "No," she answered, looking at him with a searching, direct gaze. "Not really—only at first appearance. Why, Uncle Mark, your hair is turning gray. What have you been doing with yourself?" He felt that ihe unconscious shaft had gone well home. He only- answered vaguely. There was a little Informal dancing, and, as he felt befitted his age, he waltzed a few turns with Eleanor and sat back with Mrs. Howard, surveying the gay crowd, and recalling memories—about the most disheartening thing that he could have done. "What do you think of Eleanor?" asked Mrs. Howard. "You didn't expect to find the little schoolgirl grown up like this, did you?" "Nor she me—like this," answered Mark humbly. But the Colonel's wife missed the allusion. "She has been crazy to see you," Mrs. Howard continued. "She gave the Colonel no rest after he told us that he was trying to get you for the war office. I believe she had always had a sort of romantic recollection of you, and looked upon you as a sort of guardian, although, of course, It was a fortunate thing for her and us—and you, too—that Colonel Howard did succeed in Inducing you to let us take her. She has been everything to us." "Of course," said Mark mechanically. "It would have been a terrible life for her out In the desert," sighed Mrs. Howard, "I think that you were very wise. Captain Wallace. And what a dreadful burden and responsibility you you would hqve had!" This time Mark did not attempt to answer. "She has been a daughter to both of us," pursued his hostess. "And now I'm afraid—we're both afraid, Captain Wallace, that we cannot hope to have her for long. She was quite the rage In New York last season." Wallace followed the girl with his eyes. She had just been dancing with a young officer; it had been a twostep, and as the band of three pieces broke into the wildest and merriest part of the piece he saw her, with flushed face and laughing eyes, accept Kellennan'8 arm and surrender herself to the dance. Kellerman caught Mark's eyes across the room. He looked straight back with a meaning challenge which was unmistakable. Mark knew at that moment that bis antipathy to Kellerman had returned, although he was Inclined to believe the other was not aware It had ever existed Kellerman was a splendid figure, even in his civilian evening clothes. Fully six feet tall, with the cheat and limbs of an athlete, florid; with crisp block hair and a sense of the sion of power, he looked at least five years Mark's junior, though they had been born in the same year. "Handsome Kellerman" had been his sobriquet in Cuba. Mark remembered it across the lapse of years, and into bis mind there began to filter, too, stray stories about him. Mark did not judge him by these, btit by the intuition which sent a cold wave to ids heart as he saw him with Eleanor. It seemed to him that Kellernmn's look, as lie turned to the girl, was one of intentional conquest—in another man it might have been called infatuation; and the girl knew It and was happy in It. The bitterness of that moment was like a sword thrust. Had he come three thousand miles for this? But what had been his thoughts for Eleanor, his vague wishes as to her fu ture? He did not know. He had dreamed —dreamed of her, and never pictured her as she was. There w«s an informal, stand-up supper about eleven. Eleanor came to Mark and asked him to take her to the buffet. Mark was conscious of a coldness, or hurt resentment in the girl's manner, as If he had neglected her. He brought her a plate and sat beside her in an alcove. They were alone, measurably, for the first time that eve* ulng. "Uncle Mark, you are disappointing me." said Eleanor. "I know it, and I'm sorry for it," said Mark. "I suppose It's—because I am not a bit like what you expected me to be." "You are not the least bit like what I expected, or remembered, Captain Mark," she answered. In his jealousy he was conscious of the altered prefix. And, as Eleanoi looked at him with hurt In her eyes she broke off to smile at a young office; across the room, who returned an ar dent gaze across the rubicund shoul ders of a very homely, but most important dame whom he was helping to champagne. "Most of us experience disappointments in people whom we have ideal ized," said Mark lamely. "You mean—Oh, I'm sure I thank you, Captain Wallace," answered the girl acidly. "Shall we go back?" But Mark had a moment of insplra^ tion, "Before v*e go, Eleanor," he said, "don't you think we might get to understand each other a little? I suppose I have been rude—but, you see, 1 have been conscious of your disap pointment all the evening, and—" He stopped in bewilderment, for BV eanor was—laughing. "But I seem at least to have the faculty of amusing you," he continued "Dear Uncle Mark!" said Eleanor laughing with tears in her eyes. Sh* laid her hand on his shoulder. "Now I know you are my real Uncle Marlr after all," she said. "Why?" he asked, ii> astonishment "That's -just like you, Uncle Mark. It's you—it's the real 'you' I've always remembered." 'Ton seem to remember my character very well, Eleanor," said Mark, trying not to relent, and having an uncomfortable feeling that she was an adept at hoodwinking. "Well, you know, you paid me a fairly long visit at the Misses Harpers' school, Uncle Mark." "You were nothing but a schoolgirl then." INDIGESTION, GAS, UPSET STOMACH HURRY!

It is understood in authoritative quarters Allied governments will not reveal their armistice terms until Germany has replied to President Wilson's last note. Premier Lloyd George and Foreign Secretary Balfour, accompanied by naval and military officers, have gone to France. The German reichstag, by a great majority, has adopted a bill placing the military command under control of the civil government, according to an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Copenhagen. General surprise was caused in Berlin by the fact the daily report from German headquarters was not signed, as usual, with the name of General Ludendorff. Later the following official announcement was Issued: "The emperor, accepting request to be allowed to retire of Infantry General Ludendorff, first quartermaster general and commander in time of peace of the Twenty-fifth Infantry brigade, has placed him on the unattached list. The emperor decided at the game time the Lower Rhenish infantry regiment, Number 89, of which the general has long been chief, shall hear henceforth the name of Ludendorff." His resignation, it is believed In London, will still further shake the faith of the German people in their military machine. In the resignation of General Ludendorff Germany loses what often has been described her "military brain." Unknown before the war, General Erich Ludendorff sprang Into prominence in the fall of 1914 as chief of staff to Field Marshal Von Hindenburg, then a general, In operations against Russians. When Von Hindenburg was given chief command in August, 1916, Ludendorff was appointed first quartermaster general but his position in reality has been chief of staff and collaborator with Von Hindenburg.

Go to Bed and Stay Quiet — Take a Laxative — Eat Plenty of Nourishing Food—Keep Up your Strength — Nature Is the Only "Cure" ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR NO OCCASION FOR PANIC Spanish influenza, which appeared In Spain In May, has all the appearances of grip, or la grippe, which has swept over the world in numerous epidemics as far back as history runs. Hippocrates refers to an epidemic in 412 B. C, which is regarded by many to have been influenza. Every century has had its attacks. Beginning with 1831 this country has had five epidemics, the last in 1889-90. There is no occasion for panic?—influenza Itself has a very low percentage of fatalities—not over one death out of every 400 cases, according to the N. C. board of health. The chief danger lies in complications arising, attacking principally patients in a run-down condition—those who don't go to bed goon enough or those who get up too early. THE SYMPTOMS Grip, or influenza, as it is now called, usually begins with a chill, followed by aching, feverishness, and sometimes nausea and dizziness, and a general feeling of weakness and depression. The temperature Is from 100 to 104, and the fever usually lasts from three to five days. The germs attack the mucous membrane or lining of the air passages, nose, throat and bronchial tubes; there Is usually a hard cough, especially bad at night; oftentimes a sore throat or tonsillitis, nnd frequently all the appearances of a severe head cold. THE TREATMENT Go to bed at the first symptoms, not only for your own sake, but to avoid spreading the disease to others—take a purgative, eat plenty of nourishing food, remain perfectly quiet nnd don't worry. Quinine, aspirin or Dover's Powders, etc., may be administered by the physician's directions to relieve the aching. But there Is no cure or specific for influenza—the disease must run its course. Nature herself will throw off the attack If only you keep up your strength. The chief danger lies in the complications which may arise. Influenza so weakens the bodily resistance that there is danger of pneumonia or bronchitis developing, and sometimes inflammation of the middle 1?ar, or heart affections. For these reasons It is very important that the patient remain In bed until his strength returns—stay in bed at least two days or more after the fever has left you, or if you are over 50 or not strong stay In bed four days or more, according to the severity of the attack. EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS In order to stimulate the lining of the air passages to throw off the grippe germs, to aid in loosening the phlegm and keeping the air passages open, thus ranking the breathing easier, Vick's VapoRub will be found effective. Hot, wet towels should be applied over the throat, chest and back between the shoulder blades to open the pores. Then VapoRub should be rubbed in over the parts until the skin is red, spread on thickly and cover with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing loose around the neck, as the heat of the body liberates the ingredients in the form of vapors. These vapors, inhaled with each breath, carry the medication directly to the parts affected. At the same time VapoRub Is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, attracting the blood to the surface, and thus aids In relieving the congestion within. HOW TO AVOID T H E DISEASE Evidence seems to prove that this Is a germ disease, spread principally by human contact, chiefly through coughing, sneezing or spitting. So avoid persons having colds—which means avoiding crowds—common drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep up your bodily strength by plenty of exercise in the open air, and good food. Above all, avoid colds, as colds irritate the lining of the air passages and render them much better breeding places for the germs. KEEP FREE FROM COLDS Use Vick's VapoRub at the very first sign of a cold. For a head cold, melt a little VapoRub in a spoon and Inhale the vapors, or better still, use Vapo- Rub in a benzoin steam kettle. If this Is not available, use an ordinary teakettle. Fill half-full of boiling water, put in half a teaspoon of VapoRub from time to time—keep the kettle just slowly boiling and Inhale the steam arising. Note—Vick's VapoRub is the discovery of a North Carolina druggist, who found how to combine, in salve form, Menthol and Camphor with such volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme, Cubebs, etc, so that when the salve Is applied to the body heat, these ingredients are liberated in the form of vapors. VapoRub Is comparatively new in New York State and New England and a few Western states where it is Just now being introduced, but in other sections of the country It is the standard home remedy In more thnn a million homes for all forms of cold troubles. Over six million jars were sold last year. VapoRub can be had in three sizes at all druggists. It is particularly recommended for children's croup and colds, since it is externally applied and therefore can be used as freely as desired without the slightest harmful effects.

The Newberry millions have been known in exclusive circles for forty p a r s , yet Mr. Newberry's campaign managers claim it was necessary to spend $176,000 to introduce him to the people. Within fifteen years, Henry Ford by hit own ability is known to the entire world—Why? Because he believes that the welfare and happiness of all mankind is the most essential thing in the progress of a nation. Newberry's managers paid $176,000 for his nomination—Henry ford paid not one cent Fair wages—The right to live and be respected, is the Ford idea of life.

Election, Tuesday November 5th. PUBLISHED BY^EMOCRATIC 8TATB CENTRAL COMMITTEE. * • ! _ _!• .'.Sf^lS^r ~J DON W. VAN WINKLE FOR Prosecuting Attorney DEMOCRATIC TICKET To the Voters of Livingston County: In the October I6th issue of this paper I published a statement showing t h a t Willis Lyons, the republican candidate, had held county office for 18 years a u d been paid $26,400.00 while in office. I estimated his income from t h e office of county clerk at $1600.00 per year. Mr. Lyons.now in a b a c k h a n d e d reply states that I might have published the exact figures had I desired. B u t he knows better t h a n that. T h e county clerk gets his pay in two ways. First, he gets a stated salary from t h e county. Second, he gets fees for the work he does in office. If you go in t o get a marriage license or a hunting license, the clerk gets a fee. He gets a fee for every civil case in the courts and there are many other things that he gets fees for. So t h e salary paid by the county and the fees paid in make up t h e income of the clerk. There is no record kept a n y - where of the amount of fees the clerk gets. Former clerks have stated the office was worth $1800.00 to 52000.00. Onlv one man knows exactly what the office was worth during the years from 1S98 to 1910. T h a t man is Willis Lyous and so far he hasn't told what the income fro m tbeoffice was. T h e amount t h a t he receive! a5 cleric t o g e t h e r with the amount he received as Prosecuting Attorney makes such a huge total t h a t he declines to put it in print. So instead of coming out squarely and s t a n d i n g on his record and fairly telling the people how many thousands* of dollars he has profited, he tells half the story and hopes it will be ta ken for all. He beats around the bush when he might have given facts. Facts show Mr. Lyons' service record to be 18 ye ars in office. F a c t s show he h a s received $26,000.00 in money, and this estimate is mighty low. His name has been on every county ballot for the last eleven elections. A period of nearly a quaiter of a century. I submit to the voters of Livingston County: T h a t 18 years isemoughfor one man. $26,000.00 enough for one man, T h e custom of passing it on a good one.

REPLY TO GERMAN NOTE The text of the president's reply to the German note follows: "The secretary of state makes public the following: "From the secretary of state to the charge d'affaires ad interim in charge of German interests in the United States: •'Department of State, October 23, 1918. "Sir: "1 have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your note of the 22nd transmitting a communication under date of the 20th, from the German government and to advise you that the president has instructed me to reply thereto as follows: "Having received the solemn and explicit assurance of the German government that it unreservedly accepts the terms of peace laid down in his address to the congress of the United States on the 8th of January, 1918, and the principles of settlement enunciated in his subsequent addresses, particularly the address of the 27th of September, and that it desires to discuss details of their application and that this wish and purpose emanated, not from those who have hitherto 'dictated German policy and conducted the present war on Germany's behalf but from ministers who speak for the majority of the relchstag and for an overwhelming majority of the German peoples and having received also , the explicit promise of the present German government that the humane rules of civilized warfare will be observed both on land and sea by the German armed forces, the president of the United States feels that he cannot decline to take up with the governments with which the United States is associated, the question of an armistice. "He deems it his duty to say again, however, that the only -armistice he would feel justified la submitting for consideration would be one which should leave the United Stages and the powers associated with her in a position to enforce aay arrangements that may be entered Into and to make a renewal of hostilities on the. part of Germany impossible, "The president has, therefore, transmitted his correspondence with the present German authorities to the governments with which tha government of thf^jtyrited tUtaa hi Vancouver, B. C—With 343 persons aboard, the Canadian Pacific liner Princess Sophia foundered in Alas kim waters, the Canadian Pacific Railway, the ship's owner, have just announced* Her 268 passengers are lost, said a wireless message from the U.

The crew of 75 men is also believ ed lost, the Cedar reporting "no survivors so far as known." The Government vessel reported finding of one woman's body and four up-turned, life boats on Lincoln Island but no Bign of life. The Princess Sophia struck the treacherous reef at 3 a. m.

Battling against the blizzard Friday morning, the Cedar got within 400 yards of the Sophia, but anchors would not hold and the Cedar was driven back. associated as a belligerent, with the suggestion that, if those governments are disposed to effect peace on the terms and principles indicated their military advisers and the military advisers of the United States be aBked to submit to the governments associated against Germany necessary terms of such an armistice as will fully protect the interests of the peoples involved and insure to the associated governments the unrestricted power to safeguard and enforce details of the peace to which the German government has agreed, provided they deem such an armistice possible from the military point of view. "Should such terms of armistice be auggested, their acceptance by Germany will afford the best concrete evidence of her unequivocal acceptance of the terms and principles of peace from which the whole action proceeds. "The president would deem himself lacking in candor did he not point out in the frankest possible terms the reason why extraordinary safeguards must be demanded. Significant and important as the constitutional changes seem to be which are spoken officially by the German foreign secretary In-his note of the 20th of October, it does not appear that the principles of a government responsible to the German people ha* yet been fully worked out or that any guarantees either exist or are in contemplation that alterations of principle and of practice now partially agreed on will be permanent. "Moreover, it does not appear that the heart of the present difficulty has been reached. It may be that future wars have been brought under control of the German people, but the present war has not been; and it it with the present war thai we "are dealing. It is evident that the German people have no means of commanding acquiescence of military authorities of the empire in the popular will; that the power of the king of Prussia to control the policy of the empire is unimpaired; that the determining initiative still remains with those who hitherto have been masters of Germany. Feeling that the whole peace of the world depends now on plain speaking and straightforward action, the president deems it his duty to say, without any-attempt to soften what may seem harsh words, that the nations of the world do not and cannot trust the word of those who hitherto have been masters of German policy, and to point out once more that in concluding peace and attempting to undo the infinite injuries and injustices of this war tha government of the United States cannot deal with any bat veritable representatives of the German people who have been assured of a genuine constitutional standing as the real rulers of Germany. "If it must deal with the military masters and the monarchical autocrats of Germany now, or if it la likely to have to deal with them later In regard to international obligations of the German empire, it mutt [demand, not peaoe negotiations, but surrender, Nothing can be gained by leaving this essential thing unsaid.

Now Mother Oak really could be called a mother oak, for she had given the little Oaks shade on the very hot days before they had grown enough to be able to stand the heat themselves. "What do you mean, Mother Oak, when you say we belong to the White Oak family and also to the great and mighty Oak family. Aren't the White Oaks great and mighty?" "To be sure," said Mother Oak, "but I meant the great family of Oaks is so enormous. We are just a part of it. "Suppose," continued Mother Oak, "everyone had the same name; wouldn't it be confusing? But trees, ull of which are alike, should have the same name because that makes U easier for those who want to find out about them. "Now we belong to the White Oak family. Suppose each of us had ti different name; how hard it would be for those who wanted to know the different kinds of Oaks. Suppose yon were Susy Tree," she said, waving a branch at one near-by young Oak, and suppose the tree next to you was called Sammy Tree; it would be extremely hard for people." "It would," agreed the little Oaks; "it most certainly would be very, very difficult." ' "So we are all called the White Oaks and that is what I meant when I said we belonged to the White Oak family. We are very much alike. We have sturdy, strong trunks and orins, lit She Had Given the Little Oaks Shade. and we have such good roots that we can stand storms. "We are very popular with the men who gather lumber and the people who care for trees. And we live to .a very great age. • Oh, we become so old I" "Then we've a long, long time to live, eh, Mother Oak?" asked the little Oaks. "You may live to be more than two hundred years old." said Mother Oak. "Yes, you will probably live to be far older than t h a t " "How wonderful!" the young Oaks whispered. "And then I ^told you," continued Mother Oak, "that we belonged to a very great and mighty family of Oaks. By that I meant that there are many different kinds of oaks, like us in Get New Kidneys?!

He was a candidate for this office two years ago but as his opponent was running for a second term he made no special effort to be elected. This time Mr. Dammann is running the second time for the office against the same opponent who is aeeV.ing a third term. It will be remembered that when the Republican candidate made a/ Former campaign, against a Democrat, he Used the third term argument na iK. jssue, believing at that time thai the oflice, after two turm-\ rhuuld be phased along.

Adv. For Sheriff TO THE VOTERS OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY: Having been born in this county and having lived here all my life, the people of Livingston coun ty are well acquainted with me and I with them. In the past, I have served them in various official capacities and have always found that the public is a considerate master if it believes that the official is sincere and honest and his acts are characterized by a desire to serve tne public, not self or selfish interests. In presenting myself as a candidate for Representee in the Legislature, I frankly confess that I desire to be elected not alone for the honor of the position nor for the emoluments of office but because I believe I can be of service to the people of the county and state. The election of United States Senator by direct vote of the people has shorn the position of representative of much of its political significance. I had hoped to discuss with you in a public way the questions of taxation, social relations ana other economic questions but owing to the condition of public health such meetings cannot be held. If you believe me honest and capable, energetic and faithful, I solicit your suffrage. Respectfully yours, Arthur E. Cole. Adv.

' leading Republicans in the state are now following the advise of Lieutenant Governor Dickinson believing that it is better for the party to defeat Newberry then to bring Michigan into the i disgrace of a contest in Washington. Henry Ford was the choice of Michigan Republicans for President in 1916, winning over William Alden Smith. The London and Paris papers say that he has done more than any individual in the world tohelp win the war. The Ford interests gave $15,000,000 for Liberty Loan at one time. His success has built up Detroit and Michigan. Every farmer and business man has been benefited to some extent by the Ford prosperity. As Attorney General Croeabook said: 'The people know nil heart is right." Ex-Govenor Warner refused to eotett for Senator with Ford beleiving that he hat dene to much for the state. That,! the reason that the people, regardless of party, are sapporting Henry Ford. His interest lies with that of the farmer, the laborer and small business turn and will be able to see that they get a square deal in the re-1 construction after the war. A dwtwement.

School Ventilation The School Commissioner urges at this time, particularly, that the school rooms be well ventilated. Teachers should keep the rooms warm but some fresh air should be coming into the rooms at all times. The best plan for ventilation of schools, where a special ventilating system is not installed, is to place buffer boards in the windows. School boards should see to it that they are put in. Teachers are all informed on how th ese boards should be placed. OBITUARY Cornelia Ann Bullis, oldest child of Robert H- and Annis Hunt Bullis, was born in Unadflla Township.

ONE FOURTH OF COUNTRY'S POPULATION JS ENROLLED. estimated That Approximately Eight Million Women Are Engaged in Canteen Work and the Production of Relief 8upptie»—Vsst Sunn Expended. Ked Cross chapters throughout the country held their annual meetings •>cto*>er 23, at which the following •message fcoto the War Council was ••ead: • To the Chapters of the American Ued Cross: The War Council sends greetings to Hie chapters of the American Red • foss oo the occasion of their annual meetings for 1918. With these greetings go congratulations oh the great work of the chapters •luring the paj*t year and, above all -rhlngs, OQ the wonderful spirit of sacrifice and patriotism which has pervaded that work. The strength of the Ked Cross rests •J{<on Its chapters. They are Its bone «nd sinew. They supply Its funds, •hey supply its men and women, they tuppiy- lis 'enthusiasm. Let us, then, w l e w together the Ued Cross story »f the past year. Some idea of the size to which your • ied Cross family has grown may be withered from the following facts: On May 1, HUT, Just before the ap- .u.lntment of the War Council, the American Ked Cross had -180,194 memucrs working through 5G2 chapters. On July 'J\, WIS, the organization numbered ^0,048,103 annual members. resides 8,000,000 members of the fnnlor Red (!ross—a total enrollment •>f over one-fourth the population of 'he United States. Since the beginning of the war you *f the chaffers- have co-operated with '.he War Council In conducting two war 'und drives and one membership drive, •ii addition to the campaign on behalf *f the Junior Ued Cross. The total actual collections to date 'rom the first war fund have amounted •i more titan $115,000,000. The subscriptions to the second war fund • mounted to upwards of $170,000,000. From membership dues tlus collec- : ons have amounted to approximately ^4^00,000. Splendid Work Done by Women. To the foregirg must be added that very large. contribution of materials • tid time given by the millions of worn- »n throughout the country in surgical Iressings, in knitted articles, In hospital and refugee garments, in canteen work, and the other activities the chapters have been called upon to perform. Tt is estimated that approximately 1.000.000 women are engaged in can- <een work and the production of relief •applies through the chapters. For the period up to July 1, 1918, American Red Cross chapters, through • heir workrooms, had produced : 490,120 refugee garments. 7,123,821 hospital supplies. 10,780,489 hospital garments. 10,131,501 knitted articles. 102,748,107 surgical dressings. A total of 221*382,838 articles—of an estimated aggregate value of at least •44.000.000. These articles were largely the oroduct of women's hands, and. by the tame token, infinitely more precious than could have been the output of factories or machines. These articles <o!ng to the operating room of the hospitals, to homeless or needy refugees. *nd carryfhg comfort 'to our own boys «a the field, convey a message of love from the women of this country entlre- •7 distinct from the great money value **ttaching to their handiwork. Money Spent in Work. By the terms under which the first Red Cross war fund was raised, the •iui pier*, were entitled to retain 25 per «*ent of the.amount collected, In order defray local erpenses, to carry on their home service, work, to purchase materials to be utilized In diopter production and otherwise to meet the numerous calls made upon them. The chapters were thus entitled to retain nearly ¢29.000,000. As a matter of fact* their HCtuai retentions amounted to only «faout 122,000.000. Oat of collections from annual memfcewoJsj*.*# a, chapters have retained «boat $11400.000. From this total snm. therefore, of $38,- 300,000 retained by the chapters, they •mve mat til the oftentimes very heavy local demands npoo them, and In sddlrtoa have provided for use by national headtaatttra products valued, u stated aaova, at a w a r d s of $44,000.- at f£he chapter! have la effect retimed tt the War ChsmctLojet alone the 133,- net of the war fend hi valve ef tlon of a> least $11,000,000. Ii will thus been seen that during the eighteen months which have ulupseil since the United States entered the war, the American people will have either paid in or pledged to file American Ued Cross for its work of relief throughout the world, in money or in material values, a net total of at least $325,000,000. Revealed America's Heart H has been because of this spirit which has pervaded nil American R*d Cross effort in this war that the aged governor of one of the stricken and battered provinces of France statexi iwt long since that, though France Hid long known of America's greatness, strength and enterprise, it remained for Lhe American Ued Cross in this war to reveal America's heart. # In this country, at this momeut, the workers of the Ued Cross, through its chapters, are helping to add to the comfort and health of the millions of oar soldiers in 1C2 camps and cantouments, as well as of those traveling on railroad trains or embarking on ships for duty over-seas. The home service of the Red Cross, with its now more than 40,000 workers, is extending Its ministrations of sympathy and counsel each month to upwards of 100,0'K) families left behind by soldiers at the front—a number ever growing with the Increase of our men under arms. But. of course, the heart of the Red Cross and its money and attention always move toward and focus themselves In Europe where the American Ked Cross, as truly "the greatest mother In the world,* Is seeking to draw "a vast rwet of mercy through an ocean of unspeakable pain." Red Cross Worth Recognized. Nothing is withheld that can be given over there to supplement the efforts of our army and navy in caring for our own boys. The Red Cross does not protend to do the work of the medical corps of the army or the navy ; its purpose is to help and to supplement. Nor does the Ued Cross seek to glorify what it does or those who do It; our satisfaction 1¾ In the result, which, we are assured by Secretary Baker, General Pershing, General Ireland and all our leaders, is of inestimable value and of indispensable Importance. By the first of January your Red Cross will iiave working in France upwards of 5,000 Americans—a vivid contrast to the little group of eighteen men and women which, as the first Red Cross commission to France, sailed about June 1, 1917, to initiate our efforts in Europe. Your Ued Cross now hns active, opcrating commissions in France, in England. In Italy, in Belgium, in Switzerland, In Palestine and In Greece. You . have sent a shipload of relief supplies nnd a group of devoted workers to northern Russia; you have dispatched a commission to work behind our armies in eastern Siberia ; you have sent special representatives to Denmark, to Serbia and to the Island of Madeira. Carries Message of Hope. Your Red Cross Is thus extending relief to the armies and navies of our allies; and you are carrying a practical message of hope and relief to the v. friendly peoples of afflicted Europe and Asia. Indeed, we are told by those best informed in the countries of our allies that the efforts of your Red Cross to aid the soldiers and to sustaJn the morale of the civilian populations left at home, especially in France and Italy, have constituted a very real factor in winning the war. - The veil has already begun to lift. What the Red Cross may be called upon to do In the further course of the war, or with the coming of victory, peace and reconstruction, It would be idle to attempt to prophesy. But your great organization, In very truth "the mobilized heart and spirit of. the whole American people," has shown Itself equal to any call, reafcy to respond to any emergency. Spirit of All Best and Highest. The American Red Cross has become not so much an organization as a great movement, seeking to embody in organized form the spirit of service, the spirit of sacrifice—In short, ail that Is best and highest in the ideals and aspirations of our country. Indeed we cannot but believe that this wonderful eplrit which service in and for the Red Cross has evoked In this war, Is destined to become In oor national life an element of permanent value. At Christmas time we shall ask the whole American people to answer the Red Cross Christmas roll call. It will constitute a unique appeal to every man, woman and child In. this great land of onrs to become enrolled in our army of mercy. It Is the hope of tbe War Council that thts Christmas membership roil call shall constitute a reconeocratkm of the whole American people, an inspiring reaaeertion to mankind that in this boor of world tragedy, net to eee> eeer bet to serve la Amerlet'e supreme aim. h THE WAR COUNCIL OT TOT AMBR 1CAN RED CROSS.

You are commanding one life—and it Is about the biggest contract ever a man undertook. If you have passed the winter in telligently, your farm implements will show it 1n the spring. HAARLEM OIL CAPSULES IF YOUR BACK ACHES Do you feel tired and "worn-out?" Are you nervous and Irritable? Don't sleep well at night? Have a "dragged out," unrested feeling when you get up In the morning? Dizzy spells? Bilious? Bad taste"nr the mouth, backache, pain or soreness In the loins, and nbdomen? Severe distress when urinating, bloody, cloudy urine or sediment? All these indicate gravel or atone In the bladder, or that the poisonous microbes, which are always In your system, have attacked your kidneys. You should use GOLD MEDAL Haarlem Oil Capsules immediately. The oil soaks gently Into the walls and lining of the kidneys, and the little poisonous animal germs, which are causing the Inflammation, are immediately attacked and chased our of your system without Inconvenience or pain. Don't Ignore the "little pntns and aches," especially backache*. They may be little now but there is no telling how soon a dangerous or fatal disease of which they are the forerunners may show itself. Go after the cause of that backache at once, or you may find yourself in the grip of an incurable disease. Do not delay a minute. Go io your druggist and insist on his supplying you with a box of GOLD MEDAL Haarlem Oil Capsules. In 24 hours you will feel renewed health and vigor. After you have cured yourself, continue to take one or two Capsules enoh day so as to keep in first-class condition, and ward off the danger of future attacks. Money refunded If they do not help you. Ask for the original imported GOLD MEDAL brand, and thus be sure of getting the genuine.—Adv. IT IS not enough to have the bowels move. It is more important to persuade liver, kidneys, skin, and bowels to act in harmony and against self-poisoning.

Use of Gauze Masks Is Recommended for Those Nursing Sick—Handkerchiefs Are Out of Place— Rest Is Important. Washington.—In ;in effort to reduce Unnecessary calls on ihe over-worked physicians throughout the country be* cause of the present epidemic of influenza, Surgeon General Blue of the United States public health service calls upon the people of the country to learn something about the home care of patients 111 with influenza. Physicians everywhere have complained about the lurge number of unnecessary calls they have had to make because of the Inability of many people to distinguish between the cases requiring expert medical cure and those which could readily be cared for without a physician. With influenza continuing to spread in many parts of the country, and with an acute shortage of doctors and nurses everywhere, every unnecessary call, on either physicians or nurses makes it so much harder to meet the urgent needs of the patients who are seriously ill. Present Generation Spoiled. "The present generation," said the surgeon general, "has been spoiled by havlnj? had expert medical and nursing >eare readily available. It was not so In the days of our grandmothers, when every good housewife was expected to know a good deal about the care of the sick. 'Every person who feels sick and appears to be developing an attack of influenza should at once be put to bed In a well-ventilated room. If his bowels have moved regularly, It is not necessary to give a physic; where a physic is needed, a dose of castor oil or Koeholle salts should be given. "The room should be cleared of all unnecessary furniture, bric-a-brac, and rugs. A wash basin, pitcher, and slop howl, soap and towel should be at hand, preferably in the room or just outside the door. "If the patient Is reverlsm n doctor should be culled, and this should he done in any case if the patient uppears very sick, or coughs up pinkish (bloodstained) sputum, or breathes rapidly and painfully. "Most of the patient* cough up considerable mucus; tu some, there is much mucus discharged from the nose and throat. This material should not be collected In handkerchiefs, hut rather In bits of old rags, or toilet paper, or on paper napkins. As soon as used, these rags or papers should be placed lu a paper bag kept beside the bed. Pocket'vhandkerchlefs are out of place in the sick room and should not be used by patients. The rugs or papers In the paper bag should be burned. "The patients will not be hungry, and the diet should therefore be light. Milk, a soft-boiled egg, some toast or crackers, a bit of jelly or jam, stewed fruit, some cooked cereal like oatmeal, hominy or rice—these will suffice In most cases. Comfort of Patient "The comfort of the patient depends on a number of little things, and these should not be overlooked. Among these may be mentioned a well-ventilated room; a thoroughly clenn bed •vith. fresh, smooth sheets and pillowcases; quiet, so that refreshing sleep may be had; cool drinking water conveniently placed; a cool compress to the forehead if there is headache; keeping the patient's hands and face the forehead if there is headachfe; clean, and the hair combed; keeping his mouth clean, preferably with some pleasant mouth wash; letting the patient know that someone Is within call, but not annoying him with too much fussing; giving the patient plenty of opportunity to rest and sleep. "It is advisable to give the sick room a good airing several times a day. "So much for the patient. It is equally important to consider the person who Is caring for him. It is Important to remember that the disease is spread by breathiug germ-laden matter sprayed Into the air by the patient in coughing or even in ordinary breathing. The attendant should therefore wear a gauze mask over her month and nose while she is In the sick room. 8uch a mask Is easily made by folding a piece of gaute four fold, sewing a piece of tape at the four corners. Observe CJeanlineee, 'The attendant should, if possible, wear a washable gown or an apron which coven the dress. This will make it much simpler to avoid infection. "It is desirable that all attendants learn how, to use a fever thermometer. This is not at all a difficult matter, and the use of SJQCJI a thermometer is a great help In caring for the patients, Tbe druggist who sells these Uieraoav eters will *be glad to show how they i t * sjt*6V Tn dosing, and lest I be misvader* X wish to leave one word of £ 1* do^caHtt* doctor.* •ft * i?*..-.

If anyone thinks there is no competition amongst the big packers he ought to go through a day's work with Swift & Company. Let him begin at the pens when the live stock comes in; let h m try to buy a nice bunch of fat steers quietly and at his own price without semebody's bidding against him. Let him realize the scrupulous care taken at the plant that not one thing is lost or wasted in order tfiat costs may be held to a minimum. Let him go up into the office where market reports are coming in,—and reports of what other concerns are doing. Let him watch the director of the Swift Refrigerator fleet, maneuvering it over the face of the country like a fleet of battleships at sea. Let himtake a trip with a Swift & Company salesm-n and try to sell a few orders of meat. Let him stay at a branch house for an hour or two and see the retail meat dealers drive their bargains to the last penny as they shop around among the packers' branch houses, the wholesale dealers, and the local acting plants. And then, when the day is over, let him have half an hour in the accounting department, where he can see for himself on what small profits the b jsiness is done. (Less than 4 cents on each dollar of sales.) If he still thinks there is no competition in the meat business it will be because he wains 10 think so. wift & Company, U. S. A. S Distinction Not His.

However this year we shall make an exception to the rule, not because we have one word of fault to find with the oppoBicg candidate, but because we recognize the unusual qualifications in the Democratic candidate, Arthur E. Cole for the office of representative to the legislature. We do not endorse him becanse he is a Democrat, neither alone for the qualifications tnat so eminently fit him for the position, but as a partial appreciation to the personal work he has done in this community through all these years of his career. Everyone who has come in contact with him in any public matter, kn<jws that he has always been an enthusiastic supporter of anything that would be of benefit in any way to this village and vicinity, especially, and to Livingston County, and that in nearly every instance i t has been without financial benefit to himself. Nine times out of ten he has put himself, his time and his money into projects for the benefit of all without a thought of recompense, and as a lawyer we believe he has given more free advice than any other man in Livingston county. Arthur E. Cole was born in Livingston. County and has spent his entire life here. He has served his township as supervisor for several terms. He was president of the village of Fowlerville three years and each time he was elected without opposition. In 1884, he was elected judge of probate, and latter served the county as circuit court commissioner. At the close of his term as judge of probate, he was admitted to the bar on examination and since 1892 has practiced law in the village of Fowlerville. He has been identified with every organization that had for its object the advancement of the interests and amelioration of the condition of the farmers and laboringmen. He was a charter member of the Grange and Farmers' Alliance and President of the State Farmers' Alliance and Industrial Union for two years. He still retains hi3 farm in the township of Conway. He is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Michigan State Sanitorium and treasurer of that institution. He has given unBtintingly of his time to all war activities being a member of the 7/ar Preparedness Board and president of the Township of Handy War League. He has rendered valuable service free of cost in making out questionaires. His services to the public entitle his candidacy to more than a passing consideration. In the perBon of Judge Cole, as he is commonly called, the people of the county have an opportunity to send to the Legislature a man of wid^ business experience, one who is a studentof social and economic questions, well informed on the affairs of the county and state and whose integrity and ability are unquestioned. If we cared to trespass on your time and patience we could name many of the instances and the public and private benefit derived and now it seems eminently fair that \VP should almost unanimously embrace this opportunity of showing our appreciation by electing him as member of tho legislature. —The Fowlerviile Review.

Here's the Answer: of Brighton township, the Republican Candidate for State R e p r e s s i v e from Livingston County, was born on the farm he now works and which he has operated since he was old enough to do so. hor n youn^ man :'l years of age, he certainly has had n valu^bh' 'ot of experience that particularly fits him for this office. Graduating from the Michigan Agriculture College in l')U4, (the youngest male member of his class), he returned to the farm. Since then he has served as Supervisor of his township, was elected chairman of the Board of Supervisors of his County, and has represented this countyin the last two sessions of the Michigan Legislature. Some friends of hi3 opponent say that two terms are enough. They forget that prior to Mr. Ross' election, Mr. Farmer, a very worthy Democrat, held this same office four terms in succession. On account of work on the farm, and the scarcity of labor at this time, Mr. Ross does not expect to be able to see many of <he voters personally this fall. He has heard no criticisms regarding the way he has represented his county at Lansing, and if you think he ii worthy of another term, he respectfully asks your support at the coding election. Adv.

WALLACE SEES ELEANOR, NOW A YOUNG LADY, FOR FIRST TIME IN MANY YEARS Synopais.—Lieut. Mark Wallace, U. S. A~, Is wounded at the battle of Santiago. While wandering alone In the jungle he comes across a dead man In a hut outside of which a little girl is playing. When he is rescued he takes the girl to the hospital and announces hU intention of adopting her. His commanding officer, Major Howard, tells him that the dead man was Hampton, a traitor who sold department secrets to an international gang In Washington and was detected by himself nnd Kellerman, an officer in the same office. Howard pleads to be allowed to send the child home to his wife and they agree that she shall never know her father's shame. CHAPTER i l l . m Sewrai years later Captain Mark Wallace descended from a street car and walked up the grounds of a very select young ladies' boarding school1 In Westchester county, New York, kept by two maiden ladieB. Entering the -colonial portico, the captain rang the bell and asked to see Mis? Howard. Five minutes afterward, having satisfied the lady principal that he stood in the avuncular relation to her charge. and was n man of blameless life, he met Eleano* in tbe reception room. It was some years since he had seen her. The grimy little waif of the Santiago battlefield had shot up into a slim, ioag-feggetf schoolgirl, with brown hair tied back with a ribbon, and a face that already showed the promise of beauty. The girl hurried forward as if expecting an embrace, realized Mark's tntentlon, and checked herself quickly and held out both hands. "Dear Uncle Mark!" she exclaimed, ""I've been looking forward to you ever since I got your letter telling me that you were coming East." "Well, it's nice to be appreciated tike that," said Mark, laughing. "I couldn't quite persuade myself that it was true, and that I should really see you at last. And you're not tn the least like your photograph." "Homelier, Eleanor?' "No, but different. Older—very much older. You must be awfully old —quite thirty, I -should say." "Nearly," admitted Mark, wondering whether the long years in the West, witb the sweltering heat and arduous service, had really aged him prematurely. Mark had had no Influence to secure him anything better than a border post He often wondered why be had not gone into civil life, like so many of his class, and amassed a competency in the first booming years of the twentieth century. Something In the blood, perhaps, had held him to the arm; life, which he loved so much, in principle and hated so much In practice. He was not far abort of thirty; he had nothing hat his meager pay; no ties but a married sister tn Chicago and the girl la the boarding school, who filled so great a part of his thoughts, so disproportionate a share. For until that day he had only seen her once since be picked her np in the Jungle, and she had been too young to retain the memory of the meeting tn Major Howard's home. "I expected a young man, bat Vm Just as pleased to see you," said Eleanor. "I don't like very young men.** Mark received her amends with amusement, and they sat down side by aide upon the sofa, and were soon deep In conversation. Mark learned all about her school and her friends. She was very happy there and would regret not going hack at the end of the holidays. However, Mayor, and Mrs. Howard had only placed her there for a few months while they west on a visit to the West "I always felt that yon art really my goanttaa* even tf yom did give me q» to Major Howard,'* said Eleanor. "B«t I have only lent yon," said Mark. "I coahhrt very well tike care of yon when I was seat tr Texas. And It has always been anderstood that yom baton* to me—1 mean, that I ass yoar Mark, beginning to feel a little like a prig In the presence of this self-possessed young person. It Is so easy to assume the task of adviser from a distance, but difficult to retain the role face to face. "Well, when you wrote me last year to remember not to be pert and forward, like modern children, Uncle Mark. Fertness comes at seven or eight. One isn't pert at twelve—at least, not in the way you meant. They call it ill-bred, then." "I suppose I didn't realize how big you were getting," said Mark penitently. "But you can't think how glad 1 am to see you, anyway." "It's a shame sticking you for years out in that horrible desert," said the girl. "I wish, Uncle Mark, you hadn't stayed In the army after the war." "Why, my dear?" "Because then you could have gone into business in New York, like Captain Murray and Captain Crawford." "I've been thinking about as much myself, Eleanor. But I guess the army got hold of me." "But they haven't treated you rightly, Uncle Mark. They haven't promoted y^u for years, and they have jumped all sorts of officers over your bead. Major Howard was saying so only before he left for Alaska. But, of course, he's out of favor, and he wouldn't have any Influence, anyway. It's years since he was in the army." "I suppose I'm a back number, my dear. Some of us have to be. Perhaps I'll get my chance. I'm not thirty yet, you know, and thirty Isn't considered awfully old in the army. At least, It isn't the retiring age." "Don't be so absurd, Uncle Markl You don't look an old man at all. It was just that your photograph was taken so long ago, and 1 didn't reflect that you must have changed." "And if ever another war comes Fm suit my experience will count for a lot Aod 111 probably br.ve command over Captain Murray and Captain Crawford if ever the National Guard is called on for serious work. And then you'll have your function as our mascot, yon know." He was surprised at the girl's sadden responsiveness to his words. She grew very serious. "I've often thought about that. Uncle Mark." she answered* "But, of course, it may never happen," "I suppose n o t Bat if ever it does I mean to try to be what you meant me to be when you made that condition to the major. How I wish—how I wish—n' "Yes, my dearf* "That we knew who my father was. Sometimes I think he was only an American planter, perhaps, who lived in Cuba and was forced to flee when the war began. And then again I dream that he may have been a brave soldier who was trying to serve his country by going into the Spanish lines in disguise, and I hope that I may be worthy of him." "Yon don't remember anything, Eleanorr Tea, Uade Mark, rm sure I do— and yet I*v* thought so much about It that Tm not sure how much of it Is memory and how much is Just chikfs inventions. Perhaps I invented all at It, and mads myself betteve I remembered i t And yet I am sure part of It Is -What do you Mark rather fearfully. -Well, Uade Mark, my arm ed memories a n of Major Howard's of course, And 1 have a which the Major gave to saw that I seem to have memories, as tf they were pictures." - "What la the tirst thing you remember?" "I see a woman lying in a bod to a strange room. Her face is whiter than any face 1 have known; a man sits beside her, with his heud in his hand, and. though death has no meaning for me, I am afraid, for I know that site was my mother." "Was this in Cuba, Eleanor'."' "I don't know, but I think so, Uncle Mark, because I remember running to the window and seeing a great puliu tree outside, with spreading branches. And there are other cities, und we seem to go from place to place, always watching for somebody, and yet, as it were, hiding from people. I know we avoid people, but It is an instinct ouiy lhat tells me so. "And again I am with my father lu the Jungle. I don't know how we got there, but 1 see the trees nil around me, and I am afraid. We walk on und on, and sometimes he carries me, und we sleep under the trees and are drenched with rain. I mm so tired and thirsty. But we go on and on, and when we stop we find a little hut, und I am afraid no longer." "And then?" asked Mark In agitation. "I remember nothing. I suppose the bHllet that killed my father must have struck him while he was In the hut, but I have no picture in my mind at all." Mark mumbled something to conceal his agitation. "And do you remember rae coming and picking you up?" he uaked. She shook her head regretfully. "1 don't remember anything else," she answered. "Nothing until that dinner In the major's house." She linked her arm through his and looked at him earnestly. "Uncle Mark, it makes me unhappy sometimes to think that I have no memory, no cl^ar memory of my parents. I am sure that some day all this mystery will be cleared up. Don't you hope so?" "Yes," answered Mark, miserably. He had always wondered what the child would be like. Howard's halfyearly letters had always assumed too much for granted. Mark had practically relinquished Eleanor to the Ma- ~3or, and he had never learned anything about her that he bad really wanted to know. Lie had not imagined the precocious, high-strung, idealistic girl whom he now saw. He knew that the disclosure of her father's dishonor, If ever it came about, would shock her into a revulsion of feeling that would be fatal to the true development of her character. He had often wished that he had not pressed that Idea of the regimental mascot upon the major. It had been born In a mind attuned to the victory of r***t bloody day; In normal moments he would never have entertained it. Yet Major Howard had been more Impressed than he had admitted to Mark. The idea had spread through the minds of the other officers. There was never a Guard dinner but Eleanor was solemnly toasted, though she was not permitted to be present, and somehow the child had become a symbol In the minds of these plain men in business and professional life who spent two weeks In camp each year. After the war Mark had gone to the regulars; but he was still in touch with the officers of the Seventieth, and he knew that if ever war came, he could obtain an appointment to It. "I am sure that my father will prove to have been a brave soldier." said Eleanor, clasping her hands eagerly. "And sometimes,** she continued, **1 think that there most have been a great mystery about him." "Why?" demanded Mark, startled. "Because of the man who watches for me." "Watches for you? It is Imagination, Eleanor.** She shook her head. *Tve seen him three or four times,** answered the girl. "He waits at places that we pass when we go out together. And he watches me then, though be never attempts to speak to me.** "And you've told Miss Harperr "No. Uncle Mark. She would think t was hysterical," answered the girt shrewdly. Mark could see that, but be was certain that It was hysteria, that the Idea bad come to the child as the result of brooding over the mystery of her parentage. The entrance of the lady principal put an end to their conversation. Mark rose reluctantly. His visit had been all too brief, and It might be years before he saw the girt again.. "Well, Eleanor, this Is au revotr,*' he said. "Perhaps for years." She looked at him in sodden alarm. "You are not coming back before you leave for the West, Uade Markr she asked. - "They won't allow me the time.

This child epitomized home to 1)1 m, and he hud been homeless since boyhood. "You must forglvt* me," *lie said, a little wistfully. "Captain Murk. theiv'.s soiiH'Uiii)^ I want awfully te say to you, but it takes a lot ot courage." she added. "Tell me Just the same." answered Mark. "You know, my dear, I want you to have everything you wish for. Aud If Major Howard won't give it to you, you just let rue know. He has assumed the responsibility fur your upbringing, 11 nd I'm going to have the l'un of giving you pleasured" "It's something that Major Howard can't give rue, Captain Mark." "Can 1?" "Yes," she :»ald In a lew voice, pulling at his coat, and suddenly raising her eye* to his. Murk Wallace saw the sonl of a mature woman look out of the eyes of the child. "When I'm older and have put my hair up, and wear long dresses—when I'm eighteen, say, I—I want you to marry me, Captain Mark." She was gone In a flash, running along tht corridor, while Mark Wallace stood" dumfounded at the door, bearing her footsteps grow fainter as she hurried into the recesses of .the Misses ilanx-Ts' School for Select Young Ladies. Murk went down the walk like a man dreaming. It was absurd; It was. perhaps, characteristic of the girl's age and temperament; and yet, in spite of the absurdity, Captain SI ark WK.'lace felt us if lie had suddenly regained the grimy little child whom he had found upon the hillside- In front of 'Santiago, and lost again. As he reached the gaiw NA saw a man watching hlrn from the "bend of the road. Something of furtivenesa in the man's posture made him wheel sharply round; then he remembered Eleanor's won Is and started In haste toward him. But the man shambled off at a quick gait and when Markreached the bend he could see nobody. CHAPTER IV. Anil tho years passed, and Mark Wallace grew gruyer and older, and more set and dispirited, with long alternating Intervals of resignation, when he took life as he found it and was satisfied. But he always came out of these into brief periods1 of unrest, with the sense that he hud awakened from some lethargy tbut was damning his, soul as the alkali and the winds of the plains had seamed his face and taken the last particle of his youth away. Now in Texas, now In Arlsoha, now in some lonely border post in the freezing Northwest, he remained n cap tain. He had no friends in Washington. In tlme-7-tn long tirao he, would reach his majority, no doubt, to be re lieved soon after, and waddle, with stout old majors of his own age, into ornate clubs In array centers not quite so far removed from civilization. He looked upon this prospect with Ironical patience, and now and then asked himself the unanswerable question why he had remained In the army. Eleanor was grown up and domiciled permanently in Colonel Howard's town house, and her letters had grown more Infrequent and perfunctory, until their arrival became a quarterly affair Instead of a monthly event, and not al ways that, either. And by and by the feeling came over Mark that if ever he were to see her again there would remain no com* raon link between them. Prom doubting his future he had come to doubt himself. He doubted whether the desert life had not blunted him, blunted his finer Instincts, and made him unfit for social life—certainly rendered Wm unfit for the guardianship of a young girl. But that he had relinquished to Colonel Howard—grudgingly but uncompromisingly. Never in any of his letters did be put forward the shadow of his former claim. Then, swiftly, and unexpectedly, chance turned and beckoned him. mmm Capt Wsllses meets Eleanor, whom he finds to he s ©enter of attraction. He slso renews his acquaintance wKh Kellerman, in whom he immediately discerns sn antagonist. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Had Elephants Break gtep.

It has never been considered an offence to serve in a public office in such a manner that a man's party desires him to be a candidate for more than two terms. I f this is so, then the Democrat party has been guilty of the same offense in electing men to County offices. A man in the office of Prosecuting Attorney is more or leas a target for criticism, and all I ask is the application of the rule "Never turn down a friend on account of what some one has told ' you.

VAN WINKLE FOR Prosecuting Attorney DEMOCRATIC TICKET To the Voters of Livingston County: — Last week' I used this space to show that my opponent on the Republican ticket, Willis Lyons, has held countv office for eighteen years and has been paid the huge sum of $26,400.00. I showed how he had been on tne county "payroll" every year fdr the last twenty except two. This week I want to tell you of his remarkable change of front. When I first tan against Willis Lyons in 191+, it was his second term aa prosecutor. He said to me, "Don, this is my last time. l a m through after-this term. T h e people have done enough for me. Next time the way will be clear for you." The next time came in 1916. Mr. Lyons went to the other Republican lawyers aud they would not run. He announced that he would not file a petition. But his name was written in enough times to get on the ballot, He was building up an alibi and practice makes perfect. He stated in his paid advertisements that even then he would withdraw if another candidate could be found. He had learned in advance that there was none and was taking no chances. This year it was a horse of a different color. There was another candidate for the nominanion, Mr. J. B. Munsell Jr. Therefore Mr. Lyons' petition was filed early with plenty of names. T h e excuse has not been sprang as yet, to my knowledge, but I expect it will be soon and be very full and complete. I have printed this early so it may be explained if advisable, What I shall print in this ^spacenext week will need no explanation, A man said to me the other day: "If it's a*good thing pass it on, if it isn't don't burden one man w k h i t . " I think this holds true even if the "one man" wants office so bad he doesn't file a petition for it and is ready to withdraw and then a petition is filed and he isn't ready to withdraw.

They were sure glad to see us. We exch inged money, watches and any little thing so I'll have all kinds of money with me when I get back. The more I Bee the worse it looks. Ten pennies make a handful. I haven't received any mail from the states since we left New Yqrk. But I think we will get some in a few weeka, We may have a little trouble in getting mail the this winter. You know it freezes up quite a bit in the northern part of Russia. Bat we will get it some time. I have been traveling some since I left home. I will have something to tell when I »t back.

JAMES EMIWETT CULEY S(*FVC Y O U f Country j James Emmett Culy was born in i i Hamburg Township, Livingston Co , i Michigan, July 18, 1888 and departed j i this life at Pinckney, Mich., October 11, , ; 1918, aged 30 years, 2 months and 2:'> j days. During his heroic fight for life he was always cheerful and never seemed despondent. The Becret of this lies in the fact that he was a practical Christian. During the pastorate of Rev. Millen he united with the Congregational Church of Pinckney and has bean a faithful and honored member, respected and honored by the whole church, also by the whole commmunity wh£re he lived. He was also an honored member of Livingston Lodge No. 76 F. & A. M. which gave expression of their sorrow at his departure, and of their unbounded confidence in his integrity. Brother Culey is survived by his father and mother and one si9ter, MJS. Maude Spaulding of Battle Creek. NEW M. E. PASTOR Rev. E. L. Sutherland, who has been occupying the pulpit for his new pastorate at the M. E. Church was formerly at Port Sanilac, a large summer resort on the shore of Lake Huron. Mr. Sutherland and his family have already created a good impression with the people of Pinckney and we predict a successful career for the new pastor wbile in Pinckney. Mr. and Mrs. Sutherland and Miss Bernice, age 13, compose the new family in the parsonage. Thoy have been very busy arranging the home for their comfort but are now ready to begin the work in Pinckney. THAT FOOT BALL GAME a g f Mi.£: TV, •:"• S •m The Pinckney High school football team went over to the county seat last Friday afternoon to play Howell high and despite the inclination of ,th* latter to "rougn it" all'through the game, Pinckney won 19 to 0. -The score would doubtless have been much hrger had not the Pinckney team weakened themselves laughing at their opponents ludicrous efforts to break through the Pinckney brick wall defense.J e Sbehan was the bright and log Bt&r as usual, making all three the touchdowns, the last being ad« after a run from Howell's ten ard line. There did not appear to be any individual stars on the Howell team, but their fullback seemed to be able to itep on hit own feet and fall down easier and oftener than any of the others.

EARTHQUAKE TAKES 158 UVES Porto Rleo Towns Damaged Shocks, Casualties Growing. By WORKERS SUBSCRIBE LIBERALLY Ford Interests and Dodge Brothers Instrumental In Putting Detroit Over Mark. Detroit.—First of America's great cities to oversubscribe Its quota of] the Fourth Liberty Loan, Detroit has responded with 173.800,980, which is $418,120 more than its goal. With moneys still to be reported, the city is expected to over-subscribe by $6,- 000,000 when the final meeting of the loan workers is held in the Board of Commerce auditorium. An additional subscription of the Ford interests for $6,000,000, and $8.- 200,000 from Dodge Brothers and their employes were the principal items ln the report of $15,812,600, but the remainder of $7,000,000 was made up In large measure from uniformly hifh subscriptions from factory workers and second purchases by the corporate interests to place them ln the "double" lists. The additional $6,000,000 subscription of Henry Ford and interests was announced personally by Edsel Ford, $4,000,00£ of U added to the previous subscription of the Ford Motor company and $1,000,000 to the purchase of Henry Ford ft Son, of Dearborn. This divides the $15,000,000 subscription of the Ford interests as follows: The Ford subscription to the fourth loan is 150 per cent greater than to the third loan. Dodge Brothers as a corporation subscribed to $1,000,000 worth of bonds. The company's employes have taken an equal amount. John F. Dodge and Horace E. Dodge each San Juan, P. R.—One hundred and fifty lives were lost in an earthquake in Porto Rico, it was estimated by Governor Yager. Almost every town in the island reports damaged prop erty and scattering fatalities. There are unconfirmed reports here of great damage in Santo Domingo from the earthquake. Reports from the Interior are coming in slowly because of broken communications. The greatest loss of life from the shock was at Mayageuz and Agudilla, west coast cities, and in the intervening territory. The known dead at Mayaguez are given as 40, and at Aguadilla, 30, with the numbers rapidly increasing. At Mayaguez 70 per cent of the house sof bsrick and cement construction are reported either destroyed or damaged beyond repair. The greater loss of life there was in the cigar factory of Infanson and Rodriguez, a three-story, concrete building, where several hundred persons were at work at the time .of the disaster. The front of virtually every building on the Mayaguez plaza crumbled into the street killing and injuring people who had rushed out of the buildings into the plaza for safety.

WAR SHOES IN STORES NOV. 1 Dealers Specializing In High Priced Qoods must Liquidate Stock. Washington—Progress in establishing the new maximum and minimum price schedule for shoes from $12 to $3, was announced by Chairman Baruch of the war industries board. By November 1, it was stated, many stores will have on their shelves the new classified shoes ln addition to present stocks at present prices.

Anothher corporation that submitted its final report was the Cadillac Motor company, whose record in the fourth loan has not been surpassed. Its total for corporation and employes I? $1,487,286. This being Increased $377,000 by a "second blow" cam. paign. SCHOOLS HELP PUT LOIN OVER Average Subscription Was More Than $100. Slightly Detroit—Detroit's 90,000 school children were one of the most potent factors in the city's Fourth Liberty loan campaign, subscriptions taken by them totaling $7,995,200, which is double their record in the Third Liberty loan. The average subscription was slightly more than $100. The highest record was made by the Detroit University school with an average tale of $1,000 per pupil. The Doty school, grades 1 to 5, with a bond sale of $201 per pupil, was leader in that division. In the division from grades 5 to 8, the Fail banks Bchool led with an average subscription of $208. Northern high school was highest among the public high schools with $279 per student, while the Joyce led the junior high schools with $95. ONLY TWO LINES RETREAT OPEN Hlrson and Mesieres Are the Only Places Left For Huns. London—Laon, the anchor .of the whole German battle lino on the west front, has been cast off by LudendorfT onder Foch's terrific pressure from four sides and the whole German southern front is in precipitate retreat. The city is virtually in Allied hands. The French have entered its outskirts and the German are out of the town. Only two lines of retreat are open to the huge German force in the Laon pocket—estimated at a quarter of a million—to JUrson aad to Mesieres. The Germans cannot atop now until they have Bed to the approaches of these places, which meant their Sight must continue for betweea SO to 15 miles northeastward.

There is no restriction placed by the war Industries board on sale or purchase of the high priced shoes. On the contrary it was made plain that those who can afford to buy will be co-operating ln liquidating these stocks now on hand. If these stocks are not disposed of, the announcement said, it will work a great hardship to the trade. WHEAT.CROP 918,920,000 BUS. Corn improved Greatly By Westher, Now Exceeds Estimate. Washington—General increase crop prospects October 1 more than a month ago was shown by the department of agriculture's monthly report. Corn, which had such a big loss in prospective production as a result of July and August weather, Improved to the extent of 46,000,000 bushels and now gives prospect of a 2,717,775,000 bushel crop, which would be "441,000,- 000 bushels smaller than last year's. Spring wheat during the month improved to the extent of about 20,000,- 000 bushels, making a crop of 363,195,- 000 bushels, or 131,000,000 bushels more than produced last year. With this addition to spring wheat, the total wheat crop, including winter wheat, now in prospect is 918,920,000 bushels. That comes close to the 1,- 000,000,000 bushel mark set by- the government laat fall to meet war needs of America and the Allies. This year's tobacco crop will be the largest ever grown. Duluth—Indications are that the liBt at victims of the forest fires in this section may reach 800 or 900. Little official information can be obtained from the burned districts. 196 bodies had been brought here, and reports from Moose Lake indicated that the death list ln that locality alone might reach 300. With probably 12,000 homeless and without clothing, and with property damage mounting far into millions of dollars, whole sections of northern Wisconsin and Minnesota timber land are smouldering, fire-stricken areas, with only the charred ruins of abandoned, depopulated towns to accentuate the general desolation. Hundreds of dead along roads leading to Duluth and Superior lay where | they fell when overtaken by the Are. Twelve thousand homeless and penniless refugees, all in need of medical attention, are in hospitals, churches, schools, private homes and Ln the armory here, while doctors and nurses from surrounding communities attend them. Nearly every able-bodied man in the city has been conscripted to fight the flames now reported dying away. Reports that the holocaust was-' caused by enemy agents were circulated. Incendiaries were driven away from a local shipyard when fires in Duluth and Superior were at their height, according to city and state officials. Duluth and Superior are ln no further danger. Virginia is safe and Brainerd was untouched. However, peat bog fires now are said to menace ( the latter city. Bemidji reported only a small loss. A special train of 20 coaches brought 1,600 refugees from Cloquet and Carleton. They confirmed reports that many persons lost their lives in those I towns. Albert Michaud, a special policeman, told a tragic story of the burning of Cloquet and of the mad rush of Its residents to escape. A forest ranger gave warning that unless the wind died down the townspeople would have to flee," said Michaud. "A thick pall J>t smoke hung over the town and special trains were called. "The scene at the station.was indescribable. There came a rash of wind and the entire town was in flames. The trains pulled out with the fires biasing closely behind them. Women wept and clung to their children, while others cried frantically for their missing ones. The flames licked at the cars. Windows in the coaches were broken by the heat. The engineers and firemen alternately stoked, to give the boilers all the fuel they could ttand. "Other trains were hurriedly made of flat cars, box cars and anything that would roll. But even then all did not get away. There are many dead In Cloquet." Cloquet was a town with about T,600 population. More than 4,700 persons were brought to Duluth and Superior from there alone.

O. Chapman.) WALLACE IS STUNNED BY REVELATIONS MADE TO HIM BY HIS COMMANDING OFFICER Synopsis.—Lieut. Mark Wallace. D. S. A., la wounded at the battle of Santiago. While wanderiug alone in the jungle he comes across a dead man in'a hut outside of which a little girl Is playing. When he is rescued he \ takes the girl to the hospital and announces Itis intention of adopting her. CHAPTER I—Continued. "What are you going to do about her?" inquired the major, standing beside the camp bed and looking down at Wallace uneasily. "Boll some canned cow and see if it will dissolve the cellulose out of an army biscuit." MIt shall be done. I guess that'll stay her till morning. But seriously, Wallace?" "I suppose I'll have to assume the responsibility for her. I'll take her down to the base with me tomorrow instantaneously within the opening and stood to attention. "Could you use three gold pieces, Johnson?" Inquired Major Howard. "Well, suh, I don't know as I'd object," replied the negro, grinning. "It's part of a sum that was paid to an American soldier for -betraying his country." "Oh, Lord, no, Major!" answered Johnson. "Then do what you thint best with these." The negro looked at the gold coins fn his hand, stepped outside the tent and ship her home to my people in | ftnd swung his arm.

"Well, you'd better go on looking round, Major," said Wallace, Irritably. "See here, my boy, you don't really want that kid, do you?" "I do. I'll think over your proposition, Major, of course, but my sister would give her a home and—" "Let me send her to my wife. You "Well, Wallace?" he asked. "It's damnable." "We can't exactly make his child the regimental pet, can we?" Wallace was silent, and the Major sat down on the edge of the bed beside him. "I had orders to watch for him," he said. "He was to have been hanged as soon as we captured Santiago. can claim her after the war, If you That's why he was making for the *snt to. Suppose you got killed; we'd | jungle.

CHAPTER II. He stopped, astonished at the way the Major took his suggestion. Howard began to stutter, paced the inside of the tent for some moments, muttering to himself, and then swung round upon his heel, facing the lieutenant "Good God, no, Wallace! Whatever put that infernal Idea Into your head?" he exploded. "See here, now I You're not weU enough to talk this thing oyer tonight Sobe day I'll tell you why your proposal is impossible." "That's all very well, Major. I don't know what you mean, bat 4f you don't like my proposition you know what yon can do. I'm quite well enough to listen to what's worrying you. Dig it outf" "I haven't time, Wallace. There's these stragglers to be sorted out Not that much can be done tonight, I suppose. Sometime I'll tell you—" He swung round on his heel and made for the entrance, stopped and returned. "I suppose rd better tell you now," he exclaimed. "I had thought it might be as well sot to tell you ever. You don't happen to know who this child's father was—that man in the tent?" "What do you mean. Major? Some settler caught by a bullet I suppose." "Hampton!" said Major Howard, grimly. lieutenant Wallace sat bolt upright on the bed and stared at the other in amassment "The man who sold our mobilization plans to Spain r he whispered, conscious of a sudden terror for the child. The major nodded. It's years since we worked together in the war office," he answered, "and* frankly, 1 didn't know the face. Ton wouldn't have, would y«u, after the work that the bullet had done? One of those d ' d dum-duma. But—yon didst sit this, old your He took a purse from his pocket* opened It and shook out torse gnM ptsoss Into bis hand. "That was on a bait about the body," he said.

The? nsssrssftsjnt to escape with his life, but he had been working as a Spanish agent since he was drummed out of America. His career ended at the luckiest moment for hlra. He seems to have had the one redeeming quality of affection for the child, though if he had had a particle of unselfishness In him he would have left her behind hira. I suppose she was the only thing he had In his wretched life." "Of course there's no palliation," suggested Wallace. "But the roan may have been born good and—gone downhill." "He was born rotten," answered the Major. "He sold his country to pay hi8 gambling debts. Cuba was about the only place that would hold him, I imagine. And to think that swine was once in our- regiment J Sorry rhad to tell ylm, Wallace!" He hesitated a while; Wallace had not moved; but the child at his side stirred and breathed heavily. The major's fists clenched. T o trying to be just to the dead," he said. "But I feel that a thousand years of hell wouldn't atone for that crime, Wallace." Mark .Wallace 'ooked up. "I'm not sure that I know all 'ie facts about the case, Major," he said. "The facts are that It was no sadden act of fear or temptation, but calculated, cold-blooded deliberation. We knew at the war office that there was a leakage. It had been traced to the mobilization division, where Kellerman and I were working. Even we were under suspicion for a time. Then it narrowed down to Hampton and an* other. "Wallace, those months were the worst time Tve ever spent Hampton was my best friend, and Kellerman's, too. We spied on him—had to. "Well, you know what happened, more or less. There was a woman gobetween, as there generally is—a finelooking young woman, little more than a girl, named Hilda Morsheim. One of those French-German Alsatians, Wallace. Kellerman got some hold on her, and she confessed. The case against Hampton was absolutely proven. "There wasn't any trial. The fellow could have been shot op for a.good many years; he had cost his country millions; he ought to have bssn hanged. But he was quietly cashiered and allowed to disappear. Maybe It was a fooUsh mors, but we felt tbs shams pretty badly and wanted to forget It Hampton was let go, on tbs nndsrstandlng that he leave tbs went on afterward. Thut's why we had orders to hang him as soon us Santiago wus taken. He did the kindest thing he could have done to himself when he got iu the way of that sniper's bullet. "I'll tell you who the child's mother was, Wullace, because I was unfortunate enough* to know her. She was a Miss Rennie, Miss Murjorie Rennie, of a Baltimore family—flue people, and, of course, with a tradition like that, she believed in the scoundrel absolutely. She came to me twice. The first time was before the informal trial held by the department. She begged me to believe he was innocent and the victim of a trup. I wouldn't even listen. You know, when a man has to run down his friend he has to harden his heart. "She came to me again, utter Hampton was broken. She told me I hart played fnlse to my best friend and that I'd suffer for it to the last day of my life. I've never forgotten that Interview, and you can guess how it made me mad to hang Hampton when we learned that he was still keeping up the game from his exile In Cuba. He must have got quite a namber of confidential papers out of the war office. That's about all." "It's enough," said Wullace. "The girl married him, then?" "So much we learned. And also that she died later. You see, we've been pretty close on the fellow's track the last couple of years—ever since th*» war became a probability, in fuct. Most of the officers in the regiment are since that time, but I guess they all knew something, and kept it quiet, like you." Wallace nodded. "I fancy there's a good deal of feeling," be said. "Quite a good deal," said the major, dryly. "And I guess you'll agree with me that this makes it—let's say, a little difficult to adopt his child officially?" "You mean the remembrance would be too bitter?" "I mean that that position Is the one and only position that she is dls* innocent sir quits dramnttcally of tbs wnr office psopis battered ls> him antll tbs damning am urn mm before them.

The mother was decent Why. should that baby be tarnished with her father's treachery?" "It's written in the Good Book—" began the major. "And there's something else about coals of fire, too. Major, which came as a sort of revision of the old law. It's just what we ought to do, because it's the only way to adjust the matter." -Adjust it? Adjust whatr cried the Major, with sudden passion. "The whole of that hellish business. Major. The man was once an officer of the Seventieth. He's dead and bis crimes nova died with him. We want to forget that such a thing could have happened, and the only way la to leave him to God's Judgment and to try forever.

I bar* tbs right to tbs bid, bit wbst yssr bats told me makes me feel strongly that there's a Providence in this affair, and I'll lend her to you—murk that word, Major!—on that condition or none." Mujor Howard pulled at his mustache in agitation. "You don't really mean It, Wallace?" he asked. "I do. If you want rue to let you take her till the war's over—" "It means forgiving that blackguard." "It means forgetting him aud letting the Judge Judge." "It goes against every instinct. I'd bring her up away from the regimental life. Besides, there are the others." "Who else knows?" "Well, of course, nobody else knows who the dead man was. The colonel will have to know. But he needn't know we've adopted the child. He's going South after the war. However, I'm afraid Kellerman knows. He recognized what was left of the face, or suspected somehow. I could tell from his manner." "I don't see any overwhelming difficulty In that. You can trust Kellerman?" The major nodded, and it occurred to Wallace that he would rather trust any of the officers than Kellerman. He had conceived a prejudice against him which he could not have explained "And Hampton's name was erased from the old mess list," Wallace continued. The major, who- had be^n pulling at his mustache and thinking deeply, came to his decision. "Well, Til take her on those terms, Wallace," he said. "The fellow was a bad lot, but, as you say, there may he no reason why this little animal should suffer for his sins. The mother was decent, and there may be something In that idea of a vicarious restitution. I'll agree, Wallace, if you'll let me take over the charge of her till the war's ended. We'll enter her on the mess book and settle a fictitious parentuge on her afterward, and may she never know her father's history. By the time she's old enough to understand a mascot's duties, liirt with the lieutenants, und plead for the drunks, maybe we'll have forgotten it ourselves. Goodnight, my boy. Take care of your wound. I'll send In that milk and biscuit and n couple of cakes of naphtha soap, and a porcelain tub with silver trimmings, for you to make a start on her in the morning." He glanced at the sleeping child, took Mark's hand and went quickly out of the tent. Under the sky he stood still for a few moments. "The d d scoundrel !" he muttered. At that instunt his alert ear heard what the sentry, posted some distance uway, had failed to catch—the rustling of some moving figure In the dense jungle grass at the edge of the camp. The major remained perfectly motionless, except for his right hand, which was swiftly withdrawing his revolver from Its case. Suddenly he was transformed Into action. He leaped between the two last tents of the line, to see a man confront him for an IDstant. In the light of the quartermoon the major could not distinguish how the intruder was dressed. It was evident, however, that he had been prowling outside the tent which held Wallace and the child. "Halt!" shouted the major and the sentry together, and. as the man dropped into the grass, the rifle and revolver rang out simultaneously. The sentry, shouting to the guard, came running up. The major and he searched the spot, but they found nobody. "One of those d d Cuban sneakthleves!" muttered Major Howard an he replaced his revolver In its case. And he hurried away to look after his men. Several years elapse and then Wallace, now a captain in the army, visits Eleanor at a young ' ladies' boarding school. Eleanor, now a young lady, gives her guardian a shock, but a pleassnt one, as He takes leave of her. Dont miss the next Installment (TO BE CONTINUED.)

The aides slope gradually up, so that the skirt of the coat Is approximately 38 Inches long at either side front, and a vest In contrasting fabric and color gives a real style touch to the garment. This suit would be very smart made of navy velours or broadcloth, with vest of white cloth, braided in black. Or the suit might be attractively developed in a dark red with vest of white braided in black or with braid matching the color of the suit proper. The use of vests makes It possible to remodel a last season suit attractively and at little expense. Suit skirts are nearly all severely plain, and all are comparatively narrow, but the ultra-narrow skirts, measuring a yard and a quarter or less, bulletined for fall and winter wear are really seldom seen, -except in crarment manufacturers' showrooms. Manufacturers make their model garments very narrow, hut buyers nearly always stipulate that the garments they purchase shall have skirts that are of reasonable walking width, and very few.that are less than a yard and a half wide are actually shown In the shops.

HOME DRESSMAKING HINTS Dissatisfaction With One's Own Work Results From Desire to Hurry the Job Through. When the modern girl makes a dress for herself she 1« apt to say that she does not feel comfortable In It. She is afraid that It does not look right, or that it looks home-made, and she feels that the freshness has all gone from It. In fact, she does not take any pleasure at all in wearing it. Little does she realize tbe true reason for this feeling of dissatisfaction. It Is simply because a girl in these modern days of hurry and bustle wants to finish a dress too quickly. She does not allow herself sufficient time to finish It well. While she Is still wrought up over the finishing touches and all on edge from sewing the hooks and eyes on in a hurry, she puts the dress on and then wonders what's the matter. This Is all wrong. A dress should be finished carefully, pressed and put away for a week at least, before It is worn. Then when it is taken out again the difficulties encountered la the making will have- been forgotten; the dress will seem entirely new, and will have all the freshness of one com* ing from a store. Suit With Contrasting Vast ments of all kinds—suits as well as dresses for street wear—whereas women who spend less will be more inclined, following the custom of the last two or three seasons, to favor the onepiece dress.

Abraham Tested ( w . 1, 2). God does not tempt men to am (James 1:18), bnt he subjects them to rigid tests to prove them, in the treatment of Abraham we have a supreme example. God tested Abraham, not Lot Sodom tested Lot God tests the man who is proof against tbe tests of Sodom. God had promised Abraham an heir through whom blessings were to come to the world. For many years his faith was sorely tried in waiting for its fulfillment At length, his heart rejoiced in the realisation of that hope. In the lad In the patriarch's tent were wrapped Abraham's hopes of the future when his seed should he as the stars for multitude. His was no ordinary expectation. The human affections and hopes were, no doubt Included; but a new nation was to spring from him, and Isaac was the sole link making the connection. Then, too, he saw the coming Redeemer, for "Abraham saw my day and was glad" (John 8:56). It is only as we thus see all that Isaac meant to his father and God's purpose for the future of the world, that we really can appreciate the crucial test that came to Abraham. A test in some sense similar comes to many Christian fathers and mothers. God is calling for sons and daughters to be offered on the altar of his service. The test is something terrific, as some who have given up sons and daughters for the mission field can testify. It Is only as God Is known to be almighty (Genesis 17:1) shall ability be given to give them up. II. Abraham Standing the Test (w. 2-10). 1. On the way (TV. 8, 4). Abraham promptly obeyed. There was neither hesitancy nor arguing. God had issued the command. At his call Abraham said: "Here am I" (v. 1). He could not say "No" to God. In theordinary affairs of life we call a man weak who cannot say "No," who has QO will of his own; but the man who could not say "No" to God, we count strong. Early In the morning he was on the way to the place of which God had told him. All who really believe in God will yield themselves to him without question, reserve, or shrinking. Anything short of this Is not consecration. We should not stop to ask how or why. It is enough to know that God has spoken. 2. "Abide ye here" (v. «). This testing experience was too sacred for human eyes to gaze upon. How like this the words of Jesus In Gethsemane: *Tarry ye here." Human sympa^j thy Is sweet, and Is to be prized, but"^ we need to be alone in times of great testing. There are times when human sympathy hinders us from doing our duty. When Abraham said: "We will come down again to you," he spoke sincerely, for he believed that God would give him Isaac back from the dead (Heb. 11:19). 8. Isaac bearing the wood upon which he is to be offered ( w . C, 7). This reminds us of Christ bearing the cross on the way to Calvary. Isaac musts, have been now a young man. He did hot resist or cry out, but graciously submitted, showing that he is making a willing sacrifice. N 4. The angel of the Lord calls ( w . 8-12). At the critical moment when Abraham's hand had lifted the'gleam? ing blade to make real the offering* God interfered. God did not want human sacrifice as a burnt offer! nav hot ha wanted Abraham to give up to him his best the surrender of his will to him. God Is always pleased with submissive obedience. "To obey is better than sacrifice.*' Many times we are face to face with the test of giving up oar fondest hopes and purposes, but when we have met the test as Abraham did, we get back oar offering or greater things Instead. , til.

To raise armies and supply them, to build the navy ana support it, and to furnish ships and transf) ort, we must have money in arge amounts.

Mollie had uot yet learned ro call home, ihe humble house which ^sheltered h e r ; bui it was the place where she spent the l o u r s when n o t engaged in Doctor Brimson's office. Mollie Ellen wished wistfully that she might know the joy of giving comfort and courage to one bruve American soldier. H e r throat tightened a t The thought of her own usele.s«hess, the only one who needed her, had gune. And thus she ca;ne to the golden locket glinting from the roadway, li was an ordinary round locket, but when shw opened it searching for a clew of ownership, a soldier's face confronted her, a tin*' face with steady honest eyes. "To J a n e , " she read on the inner cover, "from her Bob." T h e locket's iong chain was unbroken, so it must have slipped unclasped from " J a n e ' s " neck. It had been "her Bob's" gift, no doubt, before he had left for France. Mollie-Ellen glanced up aud down t h e road, no vehicle, no passerby was i n sight. She clasped the chain about her own throat a s she hurried o n ; she would advertise the locket in the morning's paper. Even the small amount puid for advertising, would m e a n added economy to Mollie-Ellen. She found that she would only b e uble to insert the a d v e r t i s e m e n t occasionally. But though she unselfishly persisted, no claimant responded. Mollie- Ellen took to wearing the ornament, hoping that It might be recognized a n d r e t u r n e d t o i t s proper owner, b u t "Bob's J a n e " w a s evidently not in Mollle- Ellen's proximity. T h e locket s b e concluded m u s t h a v e dropped from some touring car. So each night a s t h e lonely girl placed it in h e r Jewel ease, she smiled into t h e soldier's eyes. "Good-night, Bob," she -would whisper. It was really wonderful how companionable a photograph could become. Mollle-Ellen read sympathy i n t h e eyes when she was tired, and e h e could see h u m o r hovering about t h e linos of the soldier's mouth over some remembered incident of h e r dny. Then Mollie-Ellen m a d e a discovery—after all she did own a soldier and she must work in his behalf a t t h e R e d Cross rooms, must send knitted things across the sea, for would not this labor help one another? T h a t he w a s " J a n e ' s B o b " mattered n o t a t all, neither he nor J a n e should know of her rival. So Mollie-Ellen spent her s p a r e hours in the house devoted t o Red Cross work, and there overruling MoMie-EUen's aloofness, a fashionable and beautiful worker sought her out. She blushed with pleasure a t Miss Stuyvesant's praise. "You are so conscientious in your duty," that person remarked, "perhaps like myself, you h a v e a personal incentive? My brother is now in training," And just a s Mollle-Ellen was about to deny t h e implication, t h e golden locket flew- open, and quick a s she was In closing it, Miss Stuyvesant had glimpsed for an Instant a soldier's cap. "So I was right," she laughed, "your b r o t h e r ? " "No—" Mollie-Halen began confusedly, her companion's Interruption left h e r sentence unfinished. "My brother is near h e r e in camp, so we are fortunate In seeing him often. Why," she broke off, "there h e Is now coming toward us. H e Is going to drive m e home." As Mollle-Ellen's startled gaae fell upon the advancing soldier, she longed to hide her own burning face, for the man w a s actually "Bob," himself, " J a n e ' s Bob" of the golden locket. H e looked down upon Mollie-Ellen, acknowledging his sister's Introduction, a s though h e were a w a r e of those good-night confidences. "You must let u s t a k e you home," Miss Stuyvesant insisted, and a s t h e t h r e e flew along In the big automobile Mollie Ellen d r e a m e d of brighter days. D a y s passed a n d Miss Stuyvesant kindly continued the drives as a matter of course and Mollle-Ellen knew t h a t she could return the locket to i t s owner through Bob Stuyvesant's care.

Bob Stuyvesant, a s she m e t him again, was preoccupied, h i s steady g r a y eyes w e r e clouded, reflecting troubled thought.

Iflaa Mind—One of thoot miracle fctfaml Fired From Shoulder or Hip in Bursts of Twenty Shots in Two and One- H a l f Second*—Air Cooled, Gas Operated. By JAMES H. COLLINS. (From the Commute** on I'ubhc Information. Washington, D. ('.) Thre^ hundred senators, representatives, journalists, and tinny officers of the French, British. Italian, Belgian and AinerlcMi) t'urces stood behind a little jsquati of ordnance men the other day at a rifle range outside of Washington. "Attention !" commanded the officer in dmrK*-' of the squad. "Shoulder tire — one magazine— serni-jintomatic—Ready ! Loud I Aim ! Fire r There was & popping like that, say, of half a dozen packs of giant firecrackers all set off at once. It lasted abont ten seconds, the time required to fire 20 shots from what looked like an ordinary ritle in the hands of each soldier. Five hundivd yards away the dirt flew behind a row of small targets set up to represent men. "Shoulder fire — one magazine— automatic—load!" was the next command given. But a different volley was heard at the command "Fire!" It sounded like B-r-r-r-r-r! and lasted only two afcd a half seconds ! If you want to estimate the rapidity, listen to the ticking of yonr watch, which averages about four ticks per second, and realfze that the automatic fire of this weapon was just twice «s fast—eight standard array rifle cartridges fired in a second with one pull of the trigger. And that was. the new Browning machine gun which Uncle Sam was about to manufacture at the rftte of thousnnds a week, and had brought to this rifle range for its first puhllc exhibition. Other methods of firing were shown with the gun placed at the hip and with the soldiers marching toward the target, firing as they walked. Then the spectators crowded around and began asking questions. "Is it air cooTed or water cooled? What does it weigh? How fast can they be made? What do they cost? Is it a better weapon than this machine gon o r that?" All Were Convinced. Among those present was one member of congress who. a few weeks before, during an anxious Inquiry Into our war preparations, had stated his belief that the Browning machine gun was only a dream. And now he was allowed to fire the weapon himself, and planted a succession of ballets In the distant target with an accuracy which left no question in his mind as to the tangibility or accuracy of this new tool of the American soldier. On the following morning newspapers throughout the country published a detailed description of both this gun. known as the "light Browning," and another type called the "heavy Brown. ing," which was also demonstrated, being fired from a tripod, water cooled, and fed with canvas belts containing 25C cartridges each. It has fired 20,000 shots* in a little less than 48 minutes. Each legislator and journalist asked his own questions, and there was an honest spirit of Inquiry* evident. Every American present, while admitting the impressive nature of the test, seemed to feel that he was personally repre» senting the nation and bound to overlook no technical details touching the efficiency of these new weapons. And In t h a t matter each American did truly represent the nation which has been keen to discover every part of our war program open to question, each according to his own light and reading. The reader of this article, too, will want to ask his own technical questions, and for his Information all the facts abont both types of guns have been summarized separately, so that attention here may be concentrated upon another aspect of the machine-gun program— its tactical nse as a tool apart from the mere details of how much it weighs, how fast It fires, how many shots a second, how mi>ny times it Jams In a test, how 4t is cooled, how many parts it has, how quickly they can be taken down and put together again* etc. One of the first questions asked by everybody concerning the light gun, for instance, was: "Is it cooled by air or waterT* And the answer to that question is: "By air—but cooling Is not a problem with the light Browning.** Naturally, a statement of that sort comes as a surprise to the man in the street who has heard that machine guns are subject to the terrific heat of smokeless-powder gases, which sometimes develop the destructive temperature of 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit, and that keeping a machine cool in action Is one of the chief problems with that type of weapon. Bnt when the tactical use of this particular arm is under* stood, one easily understands how cools& nd*, and probably the teas of thousands, and not inconceivably by hundreds of thousands before the Hun la beaten. Provide Something Better. Our ordnance department has been working since we entered' the war to scud American soldiers to France with a complete kir of tools represents live of American Inventive ability. First sizing up the job oi ciueMu£ lIn* Hun out of trench, shell box, and subterranean tunnel, and ascertaining what the allies have found usctul in The way of sew, hammer and hatchet, *he ordnance department has worked Vo provide something a little better in every case, from poison gas diui gas masliy to machine guns and hlgh-explo.sive shrapnel. The light Browning, also known as the "automatic rifle," requires no cool* lug apparatus, because in its tactical use in battle as a tool it will be called upon only for what are known as "bursts of tiring." It is a remarkable new tool, better than anything of its particular type yet developed, and different from every other weapon in the „ world. Its nearest prototype is the French Chauchat automatic rifle, which *f*"has proved extremely effective. At the present stage of tactics the Browning automatic rifle will be a superior tool for perhaps three definite jobs in trench warfare. First, being as portable as the ordinary array rifle, it can be quickly brought into action along every part of a trench by defenders to stop the advance of an enemy. With the heavier types of machine gun fired from a tripod and requiring considerable time for getting into position, if no* permanent emplacement, such resistance of invaders in a pinch might prove difficult. With the new Browning firing liO shots automatically in less than three seconds, or 20 shots semlautomatieally as fast as one desires to pull the trigger, loading with a fresh magazine each 20 shots in a couple of seconds, tin entire trench front can be protected with outbursts of machine-gun fire, which will not have to be continued long to do the work—not long enough for heating of the gun to become a problem. SWeeps the Trenches. The third job for this characteristic Yankee notion comes when our fellows have reached the enemy trenches. At that moment, even though but a few arrive, the Browning automatic rifle Is expected to replace the bayonet and bomb under certain conditions, and multiply the effectiveness of each soldier who gets across No Man's Land, for the rapidity and accuracy of the Browning fire is such that it will be only a matter of seconds to sweep an enemy trench in both directions. There are other tactical uses for the weapon. As few as a dozen of these automatic rifles are sufficient to lay down a temporary burrage at right angles to a trench front, and even two of them quickly niaced at opposite ends of a trench front can establish a cross fire as effective as a barrage un* der some circumstances. For with each gun firing along one leg of a letter V meeting and passing somewhere out in No Man's Land, the chances ot on enemy getting through this V will be very slim—this will be a defense equivalent to frontless rifle fire from dozens of individual soldiers, and can be established with the minimum of exposure.. Tiuese are the tactical points of the new weapon, and one has only to consider it from this viewpoint to understand that technical questions such as have been raised by laymen during recent discussions of the merits of one machine gun as against another do not touch the heart of the military problem— both the design of this gun and Its use as a toot in battle are palpably matters to be left to military men. Another interesting viewpoint on both the light and heavy types of Browning guns can be gained by briefly considering the general development of machine guns as fighting tools. From the days of slings and stones and arrows fighting man has sought ways of delivering enough missiles Into the ranks of an advancing foe to stop him. With gunpowder and portable guns the number of missiles Increased, and also their deadliness. The matchlock fired clumsily from a tripod was replaced by smoothfbore muzzle- loading guns, and then muzzle-loading rifles, breech-loading rifles capable of firing shots singly, and finally the repeating rifle, with a capacity of five or six shots In rapid succession. Then came shrapnel, delivering a spray of bullets over a considerable range, and also the first machine guns equipped to fire hundreds of shots in rapid succession, but at first so heavy and clumsy that they could not be moved much more quickly than artillery. Fired From Shoulder and Hip. These first machine guns are known as the heavy types and were presently reduced in weight and developed in mobility, becoming what are known as the portable Intermediate types of which the Lewis gun is an example. Still farther lightness and mobility were wanted, however; something that would convert an ordinary rifle into an effective machine gun for brief outbursts of fire. In other words, the true type of light machine gun as exemplified first In the French Chauchat and now in the light Browning. The** two fighting tools are thus far the only ones of their type, and at present only the French and American armies are equipped to use them tactically, the British army doing its machine-iron work with the portable intermediate ing may be disregarded in the light Lewis gun. According to reports from Browning, and its design developed in I our military observers in France, the other directions for,other purposes. So drift of the French army is decidedly we will try to get the tactical point of J toward greater nse of automatic rifias view—which Is the point of view of (of the highly portable type.

Think of these thousands of splendid young Americans, reared In comfort, peace, and security, now suddenly plunged Into that roaring inferno of battle with the hardened hordes of a desperately determined foe. What are you doing to help them ? What are you doing to arm and protect them, and bring them home in safety? Have you bought Liberty Bonds? Have you bought all you possibly can? Has It occurred to ypu that one more^ Bond, bought with a little additional effort, may save the life of "the boy from the next boor? Buy Another Bond!

Pinckney, Livingston L-ou M ic:uj£an T hursday Oct. 10, 1 (H No. 41 DESPERADOES ] N PINCKNEY Crack Bank Safe While rfalance of Gang Shoot at Citizens Who Interfere. § Wants, For Sale Etc. Currency to *he Amount of J$5.000 Taken Cracksmen Escape About two o'clock Wednesday morning Misd Allie HorY, the night operatur of t h e Pinckney telephone exchange heard unusual noises in t h e bank bf?- low the telephone room. Assured t h a t b u r g l a r s were a t work s h e remained quiet and it is undoubtedly well for her t h a t she did so, for the g a n g showed by their subsequent actiors t h a t they were desperadoes who would stop a t nothing to accomplish their «n:.s. After t hey had worked ah wile a t the vault an ex plosion followed which was loud enough to awaken many citizens. J o h n Dinkel, who lives diagonally across t h e square from t h e bank, was the first one t o come out and tired his shotgun a t t h e gang. They returned the fire and ordered him to keep quiet or they would murder him. He fired hia remaining cartridges, however, b e - fore giving up the a t t a c k . In t h e meanwhile Thos. R.-ad, vvh) lives n e x t t o Mr. Dinkel, opened his front door and with a flashlight proceeded to investigate. H i s light drew a charge of B . B. shot, hitting the door and missing Mr. Read by inches. Hastily closing the door he w e n t to t h e barn ! in the rear, secured his shotgun and again came into the fray. Several shots w e r e exchanged in this b a t t l e and Mr. Read escaped unhurt, b u t as his ammunition w a s exhausted, he also was obliged to desist. Barney Lynch also came out to invest i g a t e , b u t t h e hurglars ordered him back t o t h e house, and, having no weapon he was compelled to obey. While t h e b a t t l e w a s progressing tWG of the b u r g l a r s remained, a t work in t h e bank. Explosion followed explosion, t h e last b u n g t h e heaviest, shortly after which the burglars loft. As «oon a s sruMleem; d if safe.

The robbers ]<-ft in a Urge c a r ; stationed west of town ar.d on their 1 arrival at Gregory were fired npor, by j Dan Denton, who shot at. them several j t i m e s with a revolver. He is not sure j w h e t h e r he made a hit or not. Mr. Denton, L a w r e n c e Mcdlear and Mr. H o w l e t t followed t h e b a n i i l s in an auto until their c a r quit. Securing another c a r they followed t h e car to G r a s s Lake, b u t other t r a c k s in the road confused them and they were obliged to grve up t h e chase. Mr. Geo. W. Teeple, proprieter of the bank, states t h e burglars got away with about $5,000 in c u r r e n c y , b u t overlooked $100 in change and between $10,000 and $15,000 in negotiable securities. The bank is fully insured against burglar loss so the bank is in no way crippled except for the inconvenience caused by the d i s a r r a n g e m e n t as a result of the night's work. A very gratifying evidence of the confidence the pabHc feels t o w y r i t h e Pinckney Exchange Bank was shown the next morning. In less than two hours after banking over $2,500 w a s placed on deposit at the bank. The banking business will continue as usual. Mr. Teeple wishes all who have valuable papers of a private na tare in the safety deposit vault to call at once and examine the papers, some . a r e slightly damaged. A stranger entered the L. E Richarda store and acted in such an uuusual manner.aa to attract the attention of the proprietor. After looking the •tore over thoroughly the stranger made a am all purchase and then disappeared.

The gaa was of inferior quality, service erratic and indifferent and the gaa company showed just about as much (or rather about as little) regard for the people who are paying the bills, as Pinckd. y people are are stiown. The_D ' roit company used t h e tactics th«t pnhiic utility companies usually resort to on such occasions. Thfiy claifii a ihey were doing business without profit, threatened to go out of business and leave the city in the dark, but whether the usual line of argument, BO often successful before a weak minded council whose incomes need augmenting on account of heavy election expense*. *»» u*ed, is of course not known. On this occasion, however, t h e ge*f company's previous service waa so poor (not so poor as Pinckney h a s been com t> o io submit to, however) that the ei I Z - P * *-xerteri a powerful influence oi the c »imcil and the result was bette j, if and service and a reduction of t h f trice from $l 2."i to $ 75 per 1000 cubi< feet. Th* argument the citizens of Detf oi and the council used w a s limply that the. must have better service and-cheaper g a s or the compaor mast vacate the Would it not he a good plan for th council to ascertain if thi3 i3 t h e sentiment of the people, and if so insist on getting justice for t h e village and al30 protect the interests of private patrons The sentiment voiced by a large number of taxyayera ia that wa can dispense with t h e s t r e e t lights until better service is secured with a s a t i s - factory g u a r a n t e e for goo i service for the future and many a r e in favor of utdng the money so saved for village improvement or to help t h e w a r t o a speedy finish. Many housewives a r e heartily in fav- 3 or of using kerosene litfht indefinitely; ^ rather than accept the service rendered throughout the summer and 10 o'clock "lights out" ia also unpopular. If the Dispatch is simply publishing he sentiment expressed time and again with many repeated requests for such publication. Tne village council can easily aacer* ain if this paper is right of wrong in the stand it has taken and if convinced ve are right the counciluten can be de* pend d upon to either g e t a satisf acory and binding guarantee from the C.inton Electric Lighting Co. that it -vili give satisfactory service at reason* 4ble prices or else notify t h e company :o remove its wires from the viUage and give another co apany the contract o. lighting the village.

No government, however, has spoken officially. At Paris newspapers are unanimous in demanding a "complete victory" and that Germany lay down arms. London papers assert the Kaiser "mast throw up the sponge." All talk in Washington is that an armistice cannot be considered while Germans hold a foot of foreign soil and that Germany in desperation is trying to sate its territory from invasion. Emperor William in addressing his army and navy stated peace had been offered, but only an "honorable peace." He said if his offer waB refused he believed Germany would prove strong enough to defend its own land, though he admitted the hour was grave and the Macedonia front had collapsed. Negotiations Flatly Rejected- London—Austria-Hungary, according to a Rome dispatch, has again approached the Vatican with a request to initiate peace negotiations. The request wag flatly rejected, the dispatch states. Newspapers Want Complete Victory. Paris — Unconditional surrender characterizes the general comment in Paris on the demand for peace sent by the Central powers to President Wilson. It is felt here Germany and her allies have not gone far enough in their request to the president for an armistice and although they have stated they are willing to talk peace on President Wilson's plans, they have not shown submission, such as was forced upon Bulgaria. The Paris newspapers are unanimous in their demand for complete victory. The present peace move is sneered at. A demand is made for the entire submission of Germany and that the Germans be disarmed. HERE IS T E X T OF PEACE BIO MADE TO U. 3. Amsterdam.—The text of the note forwarded by the imperial German chancellor, Prince Maximilian, to 4 President Wilson, through the Swiss government, folfoMows: "The German government requests the president of the United States to take in hand the restoration of peace, acquaint all the billigerent states of this request and Invite them to send plenipotentariea for the purpose of opening negotiations. "It accepts the program set forth by the president of the United States in hie' message to congress January 8 and in his later pronouncement, especially hit speech of September 27, as a basis for peace negotiations. "With a view to avoiding further bloodshed, the German government requests Immediate conciu. slon of an armistice on land and water and In the air." It is announced that Turkey will take a similar step. Forecast Instant Rejection. Washington—Instant rejection by the United States will be the fate of the latest peace proposals from the Central powers. President Wilson will handle the situation, and handle it in a hurry. He is expected to act as soon &s the state department receives officially the text of the notes from Berlin, and. Vienna. There was no disposition in official circles to distinguish between the German and Austrian moves, as the proposals are deemed but another step In the great peace offensive now under way. Because the two governments are acting in accordance on the matter, word of similar action on the part of Turkey is expected momentarily. It can be stated semi-offidaily, however, that peace is impossible at the present time as far as either Germany or Austria is concerned. The reason It is impossible is because they have made it so. Officials expressed disgust at the hypocrisy which cloaks the present proposals, and which glares from beneath the camouflage of good faith. Here are the reasons they advance: The miliary situation has made the move necessary and therefore reveals It aa a diplomatic attempt to avert the disaster German armies face on the field of battle. Germany has undertaken some reforms and appointment of Prince Max of Baden, termed a "parlor radical", aa imperial chancellor, la cited. But It is pointed omt, aa Improved military situation would allow the mflitartate to get rid of Prince Max and his co-workers aa easily aa it was possible to displace von Hertling, Mfcheclm and other chancellors. Peace at this Umax it aleo was aaid, vonld leave Oermamy with the aaelede i a mighty army, with which gfeej again could Jeopardize tranquility the whole world hopes to experience, once a real peace is obtained. As further evidence of the hypocrisy of the German move, and the Austrian move, too, for that matter, officials j point the request for peace comes at ; a time when German armies are wantonly destroying towns and villages In France and Belgium, while politicians in Berlin and Vienna are working for a "German peace." In addition, German'armies still occupy other alien \ territory and evacuation of all occui pied territory ie only one of President Wilson's 14 principles. The matter of real concern to the administration is the effect the latest peace offensive will have on the Liberty loan. It may cause some persons to withhold their support, it was suggested, because of the belief the struggle will soon end. This is the chief reason why the president will act quickly is the matter and dispose of It for once and all, it was said. Kaiser Wants Colonies Returned. Amsterdam.—The immediate suspension of hostilities has been proposed by the imperial German chan. cellor, Prince Maximilian, in the Reichstag, says the Berlin correspondent of the Tijd. The Entente AL lies are to be asked to state their terms. The chancellor's proposal embraced also the dispatch of plenipotentaries to a neutral place to discuss the question of a league for national arbitration* and disarmament The plenipotentaries are further to be empowered to discuss the creation of a federal Austria, the right of self determination for Russian frontier states, the restoration and indemnification of Belgium, autonomy for Alsace-Lorraine and the return of the German colonies.

With the American Army on Champagne Front—The American troops operating, on the Champagne front with the French again advanced their lines. They captured St. Etienne and further acted as a leverage at the right of the Champagne offensive, which resulted in the withdrawal of the German lines on a 28-mile stretch. The Germans everywhere are being forced to give ground to Allied troops. In Belgium the enemy is gradually being pushed eastward, And in anticipation of a forced final withdrawal is* continuing to make ready for that eventuality by removing bis guns and otherwise lessening the value of his defensive work in the territory upon and adjacent to the North sea coast To the south from Arras to the Ver^ dun sector the Germans are being hard pressed by the British, American, Italian and French forces, and, although on numerous sectors they still are offering desperate resistance, they seemingly are unable to do more than retard the advance of their foes. Doual, south of Lens, is almost enveloped, and Cambral has been further endangered through the capture of the village of Auben-cheul-aux- Bolls, five miles to the southeast, where more than 1,000 Germans wers made prisoner. Hard fighting has taken place around Montbrehain and Beaurevoir in this immediate vicinity, where the Germans have brought up fresh reserves In an endeavor to keep Field Marchal Haig's men from cutting through to the Important St. Quentin. Le Catelet road from which they now are but a step. Both Beaurevoir and Mont Brehain are now la British hands, and Field Marshal Haig announces the capture of Fresnoy, south of Douai. With the Germans being defeated over wide areas by the French and Americans from Rheims to the Ar. gonne forest, the Italians south of Laon have begun an offensive which seemingly has as its objective the finishing of the work previously begun by the French for the obliteration of La Fere and Laon. Here they have captured in storming operations important and strongly held German positions. BLAST TOLL INCREASED TO 94 Believe the Number of injured Will Not Be Less Than 150. Perth Amhoy, N.

FOREWORD Intrigue, mystery, chivalry, love, feats of bravery on the field of honor—all these elements are interwoven in this story, which has been well described as the first up-to-the-minute novel of America in the great war for humanity and world freedom. It is a gripping story of a man who "came back" and fought on the battlefields of France for the honor of the army that had disoarded him. Victor Rousseau has written many excellent stories but none that excels "Bride of Battle." CHAPTER I. Lieutenant Mark Wallace of the Seventieth New York regiment caine to an abrupt standstill. He was alone in the Jungle, upon the blazing hillside before Santiago, in the month of June, 1898. Through the branches of the trees the Mauser butlers still whipped and whistled, and the prolonged screech of shells and distant shouting indicated that the battle, which had raged all day, had not yet reached Its end. But within the short radius of Wallace's vision nothing stirred, not even the palmetto boughs that rustled with the least breeze like the sound of the sea. Wallace had only the most confused and incoherent knowledge of what was happening on that historic day. There had been an advance in the cool of the morning, if a brief respite from the oppressive heat could be called coolness in contrast. Then came the deployment along the base of the hills as the first shells began to fall, the advance in open order, in which the nicely inculcated teachings of the parade ground fell to pieces, the Jumble of men, of companies, and, later, of regiments, pressing forward past the dead and stricken, the shouts, the rattle of machine guns and rifles. Batteries came galloping where they had no theoretical business to be, upsetting the Junior officers' desperate attempts to preserve alignment; Red Cross men invaded the battle line to succor the wounded; commissariat mules, shaking off the lethargy which no amount of belaboring had ever overcome, ran away with supplies and strewed embalmed beef over-*.the hillside. In the midst of it all Wallace had rallied some men of his own troop and led them forward; he plunged into the patch of scrub-covered Jungle, and found that he was alone. In front of him was a small clearing, made by some Cuban squatter in the preceding year and abandoned after the reaping. It contained the ruin of a palm shack, and the furrows scraped by a primitive plow were only Just discernible amid the rank growth that had sprung up. The lieutenant stopped and shouted, expecting to see his men come running through the trees. But none appeared, and it was at this moment that the bullet that had been stamped with his name, according to the soldier's superstition, found him. He felt a smart blow on the shoulder, which knocked him backward. He stumbled, fell down, sat up again and discovered that his elbow was shattered. The arm hong helplessly at his side. He managed to bind up the wound with his hand and teeth. There was not much pain, but a sort of physical languor, which made him reel giddily when he arose. There was burning thirst, too. It was extraordinary that a UJtle thing like that jdiould take the grit out of a man. A Ht$le>.blood was running down his sleeve, but die wound seemed trivial. Wallace leaned against the wall of the snack and waited for his men. He snooted once or twice more, but nobody answered him, and the battle seemed to be drifting in another diree» iloa; Wallace Imagined that b i t troop had advanced aronnd the patch of scrub, In which case he was not likely to establish touch with them again till wall of the shack, missed it, and fell. Then he realised that he was out of the fight. Yet, in spite of his intense disappointment, he knew that worse might have befallen him. He had fought through hours of the day—that w*»s much; he was probably spared to lea.l his men again—and that was •raorv. He, hud found and proved himself; and at twenty-one a young man, for all his self-confldence, is composed ist fears and doubts as well. In spite of his soldier ancestors, Mark Wallace had not been sure that his capacity for leadership extended beyond the parade ground, and he had suffered from the young soldier's inevitable fear of fear. So he resigned himself to his situation. He emptied his water bottle and, gripping the end of his gauze roll with his teeth, managed to bandage his wound sufficiently to stop the bleeding. The languor, however, was increasing. Sometimes he would doze for a few moments, awaking with a start, to wonder where he was, and what had happened. The air was very still. The shouts had long since died away, the rifle firing was a distant crackling; the tremulous staccato tapping of the machine guns was like the roll of drums far away. Wallace must have slept for a prolonged period, for when next be became conscious he started up to see, to his intense astonishment, a pretty little girl of three or four yeurs, standing in front of him and looking at him. H e rubbed his eyes, expecting her to disappear. But she was still there, and just as he was beginning to piece together a Spanish phrase she spoke to him in English. "I want my daddy." Wallace reached out and drew the child toward him. "Where is your daddy?" he asked. "And who are you?" "I'm Eleanor," she answered, "and won't you please find my daddy for me?" She pointed with a grimy little hand toward the interior of the shack, and Wallace, struggling to his feet with a great effort, made his way Inside. It was almost dark in the hut, and Wallace could only make out with difficulty the form of a man who lay, face downward, upon the ground near the wall. Presently, however, as his eyes became more accustomed to the obscurity, he saw the bullet wound in the back of the head. He looked up at the child, who stood by, unconcerned. "Go away, Eleanor," he said gently. The child, too young to know anything of death, went out of the hut and began to play in the shaft of sunlight that filtered through the branches of the palms. Wallace searched the dead man's pockets. He found nothing, however, except a military pass, signed by General Linares of the Spanish forces, authorizing the bearer to pass through the lines; and, after a moment's reflection, he decided t o leave it on the body. So this man had been the child's father, and, apart from her speech, his coloring showed that he had been an American. Wallace concluded that he had been a planter, trapped in Santiago. He raised the body in his arms and tried to turn it over, but let it fall when he saw the work that the bullet had made of the face. He must not let the little girl carry away anything of such metnory as thatl He groped his way outside and beckoned to her. "What is your other name, Eleanor?" be asked. The little girl only looked at him; it was evident that she_did not understand the meaning of his question. "Did your da'ddy live in Santiago?" "My daddy has gone away. I want him," said the child, beginning to whimper. Wallace tried her once more. "Where is your mamma?" he asked. But she said nothing, and he sat down, propping himself against the shack. He drew, the little girl down beside him. "Now listen to me, Eleanor," he said. "Your daddy has gone away. He will be gone for a long time. Toil must be good and , patient, and soon somebody will come to take care of yon. Do you understand r The child's lip Quivered, but she did not cry. She fixed her large gray eyes upon him. "Who are your she asked, with the directness of childhood. "My name is Mark." "I like you, Mark. I win go with you tfU my daddy comes back.'* -All right Theft At down here benightfaU.

Wallace watched the child, wondering who she was, and how it had happened that the father had been forced to take her into the Jungle, into the midst of the contending armies. Her clothing was almost In rags, and she must have been drenched by the rains of the preceding night. It had certainly been a desperate and a difficult adventure for the dead man. The light began to fade. Wallace, half delirious now from pain and thirst, struggled to preserve his consciousness for the sake of the little girl. Sometimes he would emerge from a semi-stupor and look round for her anxiously; but he always found her, uo great distance away, building sand castles out of the soft soil and chattering to herself as happily as if she had already forgotten her sorrow. When he uroused himself finally, it was to see the flash of a torch in his eyes. Faces which he recognized were looking into his own. There was Crawford, the senior lieutenant, who had graduated from West Point the year before, and Captain Keilermnn; there was his own negro servant, Johnson, with n look of r.lann on his ebony face; and near by were two men from the ambulance, carrying an empty stretcher. vVallace moaned for water and the sense of the liquid in his throat, warm though It was, brought back consciousness with a rush. "Well, we've got you," said Crawford cheerfully. "How are you feeling, old man?" "Fine. Have we got Santiago?" "Well, not exactly, but nearly. We've carried all the trenches, and we're wuiting to get our big guns up. Arm hurting you?" "No," said Wallace, stifling a groan. "Say, Crawford, 1 suppose I was delirious, but I thought there was a kid j here." As he spoke he caught sight of Major Howard emerging from the shack, with j the little girl in his arms, fast asleep, j The major came up to him. "How are you feeling, Wallace?" he asked. "Good! T didn't know you were a family man, though, till I saw this kid sleeping In your arms." "You've been Inside?" Inquired the lieutenant, looking toward the shack. The major's face grew very serious. He nodded. "Her father," said Wallace. "Come, get in with you!" answered Major Howard, curtly, Indicating the ambulance. Mark, supported hy the orderlies, who had placed the stretcher upon the ground, crawled in and lay down. He stretched out his arm to- j ward the child. It was an unconscious j action, but Major Howard noted It i and, detaching the small arms from i about his neck, he placed the little girl in the stretcher. Tho llnle head drooped upon the lieutenant's arm. As j the ambulance men picked up their j burden two soldiers came out of the i hut, carrying something in n blanket, j They carried It to the center of the clearing and set it down beside a hole ! which had already been dug. _ i "He carried a pass signed by 1,1- j nares," said Wallace to the major. i Major Howard's eyes contracted into narrow silts. He nodded. "I have it," he answered. "I wonder who he was?" said Wallace. "We'll decide what to do with the j kid after we get her buck to camp," said the major curtly. It seemed to ! Wallace that he wag unwilling to ; speculate upon the identity of the dead , mum "Lie still, and don't muddle j your brains with thinking, n y boy," he • added. "We'll have you at the base i hospital in next to no time." — "How many men have we lost?** "Can't tell you. Quite a few, I'm afraid. Soames is gone. Crawford and Murray and I found ourselves bunched together at the top of the hill, leading a mixed company of Texan Rangers and Pennsylvania Dutch. We'll get them sorted out and sent home with labels as soon as we can. Move on, boysT The Jolting stretcher preceded out of the scrub and down the hill. Here, in the open, everything was almost as silent as in the bush, after the day's battle. Under the light of the rising moon could be seen parties of men moving over the hillside, stragglers seeking their regiments, or fatigue par* ties detailed upon the neceasary night work that follows a day of death. The moon shone down on huddled forms scattered for the moat part in Uttie dusters* where shells or machine gunfire had rsegke tiasj It aeeaaed an^mWtely long Journey, and every invent—l-ef the stretcher was almost unbearable. Wallace shut his lips tight. He looked at the child beside him. She moved in her sleep, feeling for his neck with the little grimy hands. Her cheek snuggled into the hollow of his arm. The lieutenant was curiously touched by this unconscious confidence. He issued from his ordeal of pain at last, when the bearers halted in rront of the line of tents that served for a field hospital. Stretchers by the dozen were piled about the ground, and more were arriving constantly. Wounded men, guided by the sound, came limping in on the last lap of their painful Journeys. Others, who had arrived but hud not yet been attended to, sat or lay in front of the tents. Orderlies were scurrying to and fro. Major Howard caught one of the regimental surgeons, who looked Mark over quickly and then picked the child out of the stretcher. "Hello! Who's this?" he asked. "Friend of his," said the major. Indicating Mark. "She doesn't look like a Cuban young lady," said the doctor, as he cut away the sleeve of the tunic. "Her father's dead. Hit by a shell on his way from Santiago. I think he was an American," said Mark. "Give her to me. I never had one," said the doctor, suddenly injecting a hypodermic into Mark's arm. "Not after that," said Mark, wincing. "Besides, I'm thinking of adopting her myself." And he wondered what had made him say that when the thought had hardly reached his own consciousness. "See here, young man ! Let me look at that arm of yours before you talk that way. Hum! You'll be running round in a couple of weeks, as well as ever." "Thank heaven for that!" ejaculated Mark fervently. "Then I'll be In at the death." "I doubt It. T won't pass you for duty for six months to come," said the doctor, grinning. Then, seeing Mark's dejected look, he added, more seriously : "You may thank the modern highpower bullet that you tire going to keep your arm, my boy. It's drilled H nice little pencil-hole clean through the joint, Instead of shattering It, and that's got to be filled In with new growth. Even I can't grow bones in a week. I wish I could. Ten years ngo your arm would have had to come off. There's nothing more I can do for you, my son," he added, as he smeared some sticky stuff over the wound and began adjusting a bandage, "except tie you up and put you In the hospital tonight, and send you down to the base In the morning," "Tho devil you will ! I guess I'm well enough to stay on the job as I am." "Here, I hnvon't any more time to waste on you !" said the doctor. "Pounce will make you a sling and you'll go into that tent and stay there, or I'll cashier you. You won't he feeling so spry tomorrow morning. Get nut!" He strode away, leaving Mark looking into the grinning black face of .lohnson. After the sling had been adjusted he discovered that the sense of welli being, due to the hypodermic, was al- I ready beginning to leave him. His servant helped him into the tent and \ Major Howard brought In the little [ girl, who at once coiled herself up to sleep at Wallace's side. Lieutenant Wallace makes some plana for the future of the child that had come into hie possession ao unexpectedly, but he la stunned by revelations that are made to him by hie com. mandlng officer, Major Howard.

ADDITIONAL MATERIAL, FOR TEACHKRS-Oeneala 12:10-14; 84; 18:16-»; 1*:2». I. Abram and Lot Return From Egypt (vv. 1-4). Abram went Into Egypt because of a famine. No doubt the famine was sent In judgment for the sins of the people, but also for Abram's sake. He needed the graces of his heart developed. He needed to be taught the weakness of his own heart, and the faithfulness of God. The child of God is not promised exemption from trials, but grace sufficient to endure them. Abram failed, in the midst of his trials he went oft to Egypt without God s direction, where he got into trouble. To take one's own way always brings him into trouble. His expedient to save his life was unworthy ot Abram. H e lied, and a lie is never justifiable. It is much better to die than to lie. Ainu in by pn.\ arication deceived the kink', but as soon us the truth was known he was thrust out. Though Abram bad strayed from the pathway of faith. Ix* had the good sense 'o go "unto the place where his tent and been in the beginning, where the altar was." This showed that he was willing to confess his mistake, and begin life over again. This Egypt erperience was a loss spiritually to Abram, though he became rich there. Increase of riches is no sign that a man is in fellowship with God. M. Abram and Lot Separate (vv. 5- 11). The goods of both Abram and Lot greatly increased. When they attempted to settle down, trouble arose between their herdsmen. This Is the first record of trouble between relatives over financial matters. Riches often interfere with friendship. They kindle Jealousy and strife between men. They engender greed and selfishness in men. Many times members of the same family are estranged from each other through strife for "wealth. For the chosen of God thus to quarrel Is utter folly and criminal, especially when the enemy of the Lord's people looks on. "The Canaanlte and the Perlzzite dwelt then in the land" (v. 7). It is bad enough for God's children to quarrel, but to do so in the presence of the world which delights therein is greatly to Sin. Abrnm's behavior is a fine example of the art of living together peaceably. The disgraceful situation was relieved hy a generous proposition from Abram. Lot was allowed his choice. Separation Is sometimes necessary. Though he owed all to Abram, his selfish heart caused him to grasp for the best. Lot's action shows that his stay in Egypt was ruinous to him. Perhaps he chose the plains of the Jordan because of their resemblance to Egypt. One cannot gn Into Egypt without being affected by it. Tills was a fatal choice for Lot. The motive actuating him was worldly advantage. Though he for awhile prospered. It was an expensive undertaking for him. Lot with ali his goods was taken away when the confederate kings came against Sodom. He Is an example of one saved so as by fire (I Cor. 3:11-15). He set his affections upon earthly things, and the time came when he had to separate from them. The world and its lusts pass away, but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever (I John 2:15-17). Lot was not wholly corrupt: he was a man who allowed the world to get the better of him. Once his money and his family were In Sodom he simply endured the wickedness, longing to escape from it (II Peter 2:6-8). 111. Abram Dell vera Lot (Genesis 14:14-16). Though Lot's trouble was the result of his selfish choice, Abram'smagnanlmlty ot soul expressed Itself, taking up arms to deliver hlra from the oppressor. This was because Abram was a man of faith. Faith trusts God and fight* for the right While Lot suffered from his evil choice, Abram was greatly prospered. He grew rich in temporal things, while at the same-time he waa rich toward God. It wen much better to hare God and a poor piece of land, than a rich piece of land without God. When Lot waa involved in the ruin of hit aad cbotet Abeam had the power 4» deitver him.

He is now preparing to crystallize the public sentiment of the world to form a League of Nations to enforce j peace. Each nation has a Federal j ( organization, a state organization, a j j county organization and a township, I organization so that the rights and ciis- I putea of neighbors may be tried out in ! court. The statesmen of the world ' had negltcted to form an international ! j court to try out disputes * between the i i nations and as a result about thirty j million men are under arm? and t h e ; I whole world is made to suffer. j Therefore, the leading thinkers of tiie ' world are backing President Wilson] j who will make a great effort at the ! close ot the war to obtain a League of ' I Nations to enforce peace and to create ! ! a just and lasling peace with an inter- I national court to settle disputes. The ! war will be shortened and humanity { benefited by giving support to President' Wilson. Germany will watch closely the fall ; election and they will not draw any very , fine distinction as to tUe cause of the | t 1 result. A sweeping victory by the ; Republican party will be construed in ' 'Germany as a "divided United States". I In 189S Ex-President Benjamin Har- , rison and Ex-President Roosevelt j argued that the people should vote for j McKinley regardless of party, to impress upon the nations of Europe that] America was standing as one man behind ] the President. In this great European 1 war it is mnch more essential that the \ people should stand unitedly behind President Wilson. In the Congressional districts in Michigan the Democrats have put up no candidate for Congress. This is upon, the advice of President Wils )n who wishes that politics be dropped. However, in order to carry out hia important measures he has advised that the two Democratic Senators Hardwich of Georgia and Senator Var/eman of Mississippi be replaced with men more favorable to t<.e interests of the people. He has also indorsed the Republican Senator Nelson. He gives his indorsement to Henry Ford of Michigan because he represents tho Progressive thought of the world and the fact that he "played the g a m e " square and spent no money in the primaries shows that he made no mistake. Voters thi* Fall will best help the world by voting the Democratic ticket which will be construed by the Kaiser as a "United Country".—Adv. j g P n n I ATTENTION : : » * ' <* > Si Anniversary Surprise FARMERS Wo an; fortunate by having some Genuine Miller Bean Harvesters that will go in the next fifteen days, Get in while the getting is good, NOTICE AGAIN If you are O N E who has failed to sell!*- notes or book accounts long past due—remember we are after the Kaiser and w ill get you, we fear before lie is captured, and remember that Oct. 1st 191s every debt outlaws and we shall collect their.

CAPE OF HAND-WOVEN WOOL Bodice Cut on Surplice Lines; Trimming Gs>nsists of Narrow Facings; Embroidery in Platinum Gray. A navy sergu dress Is necessary for tvery woniuu with u well-balanced wardrobe. There Is no war shortage in serge, 3Ut the best grades are expensive. The serge frocks now, being designed are distinctive by their simplicity. There is no such thing as ready-made rheap trimmings, so that none of the ill esses seen are overdecorated. Plain tines and handsome embroideries in moderation are used. The sketch illustrates a smart little serge frock that would be charming for a woman of any age. The bodice is cut on surplice lines, and the trimming consists of narrow facings and embroidery in platinum gray. The straight side panels may be cut In one with the frock, or they may be of the loose or flying variety lined throughout with platinum gray silk. Many dresses for fall have no contrasting touch of color at the neck, while others will show the neck outlined by a tiny frill of some contrasting color, such us blue, platinum gray being an especially effective combination for navy. Bands of silk braid, large and small tucks and touches of embroidery done Navy Serge Frock Trimmed in Platinum Gray. Sir woo? or heavy silk are the popular decorative touches for early fall wool fabric frocks. In considering wool embroidery, angora must not be overlooked, as it is easily applied and tremendously effective. Well-Dreaaed Woman.

The initial cost NEWEST IN FALL MILLINERY Entire Crowns or Facing* Arc Made of the Shirred Velvet and Satin- White Velvet Used. Shirred velvets, satinrjrrosgraln and relvet ribbons In both broad and narrow widths are being used in fall millinery by the high-class modistes, and have been seen In some recently imported models, according to the bulletin of the Retail Millinery Association of America.

Then the changes are run on the huts, having as many as one's pockethook or one's mood will allow. A hat can change a tailored or a seuil-tailored suit from a morning gown Into im afternoon gown and again into a restaurant gown. It sounds like a magician's trick. NO LIMITATIONS TO JERSEY Popular Material and All of Its Allies Are Shown in the Latest and Stylish Fabrics. Among the new fabrics there is no tendency to diminish the popularity of jersey, says a fashion authority. It, and all its sisters and cousins and aunts, are shown in the new materials. It is rough and silken, it Is embroidered and plain, it glitters with metal, and it is plain and sufficiently rough for a rainy day. It is trimmed with angora to Inake a .woman look like a wooly lamb; it is heaped with fur to make her look warmly and richly clad. This is a good piece of news for the economical woman, for woolen jersey (loth has been selling at moderate prices for two years in this country, and most of us have accumulated suits, frccks or separate skirts of it. We fan use these by renovating the line, If necessary, and leave them unadorned ; or we can touch them up In a stingy or a generous manner with squirrel or Hudson seal. And here's a secret to put into your notebook on conservation! You can trim it with bands from sweaters that have done their service and have been discarded! Startlingiy new gowns, showing the final touch of French artistry, are trimmed with material that might once have been turned into sport sweaters. And if you do not like any of these trimmings, you can use wide bands of silk plush. Entire gowns are made of this material, clumsy as this may seem. The truth is that the weave is so supple and the surface so silken that the lines fall closely to the figure and have that desirable trick of moving with the muscles of the body. This plush, especially the tobaccobrown shades, will be reinstated, undoubtedly, for short separate coats as substitutes for the more expensive ones of sealskin. This was done over twenty-five years ago, with good results, at a time when sealskin was the high desire of every woman who hoped to dress well. effect. This method eliminates the need of having the velvet fitted, saves time and at the present time Is the newest way of using the various materials of which hats are made. "Of course the material must be soft, so that the effect is not too bulky. One very attractive model shown Is of white velvet with the entire crown and the brim shirred.

S. Show Treachery of Bolshevik Chiefs. BETRAYED RUSSIA FOR GOLD Document* Given Member of Commit. tee on Public Information Also Reveal How Germany Plotted Against U. S. in 1914. Washington— Proofs removing anj doubts that Nicolul Lenine and Leon Trotzky, the bolshevik leaders, are paid German agents—If indeed any doubts have remained—are laid before the world by the United States government in an aiaaziag series of official documents disclosed through .the committee on public information. Secured in Russia by Edgar G. Sisson, representing the committee (who was in that country during last winter, 1917-18) these documents not only show how the German government through its Imperial bank paid its gold to Lenine, Trotzky, and their immediate associates to betray Russia into deserting her allies, but give added proofs that Germany had perfected her plans for a war of world conquest long before the assassinations at Sarajevo, which conveniently furnished her pretext. Hun Plots Against America. These documents further show that before the world war was four months old, and more than two years before the United States was drawn Into it (in 1914), Germany already was setting afoot her plans to "mobilize destructive agents and observers" to cause explosions, strikes, and outrages In this country, and planned the employment of "anarchists and escaped criminals" for the purpose. Almost ranking in their sensational nature with the notorious Zimmerman note proposing war by Mexico and Japan upon the United States. these documents lay bare new strata of Prussian Intrigue, a new view of the workings of kultur to disrupt the allies standing between the world and kalserism. They disclosed also a now story of human treachery for gold. The intrigue appears to have been carried down to the last detail of arrangement with typical German system. Revolution Staged by Berlin. Knt on*r do tH* dfetttosures prove that Lenine, Trotzky, ami their btond are paid German agents. They show that the bolshevik revolution, which threw Russia into such orgy of murder und excesses as the world seldom has seen, actually was arranged by the German general staff. They show how the paid agents of Germany betrayed Russia at the Brest- Lltovsk "peace" conference; how German staff officers liave been secretly received by the bolshevik! as military advisers; how they have acted as sp^es upon the embassies of the nations with which Russia was allied or at peace; how they have directed the bolshevik foreign, domestic and economic policy wholly in the interest of Germany, and to the shame and degradation of Russia. Originals of documents, photographs of originals, and typewritten circulars, some of them marked "very secret" or "private," and many of them bearing the annotations of the bolshevik leaders themselves; some of them containing references to "Comrade Trotzky" or "Comrade Lenine" comprise the record. Some of the originals, it is shown, although deposited In the archives of the bolshevlki, were required to be returned later to representatives of the German general staff in Petrograd that they might be destroyed. JUST THE OLD HUN TRICK London Press Asserts Austria's Peace Conference Is Cynical and Insincere. London.—The Daily Mall, under the heading "The Word of Austria, but the Kaiser's Voice," says the Austrian Invitation to the allies to open **a confidential, nonbinding discussion" of peace termB is another form of the old German trick. The Dally Telegraph says: "Negotiations at the present moment even though they brought temporary peace would only postpone the final struggle between might and right. So long as the kaiser and his pan^Germans direct with irresistible authority the destinies of Germany so long can there he no question of an armistice or purely academic negotiations. The note is disingenuous, cynical, and Insincere—an attempt to divert the entente power* from a resolute prosecution of the war." The Austrian note is regarded in this country as a maneuver to ohtnln needed breathing space for the sorely tried central empires and to impreas their own people with the desires of their rulers for a cessation of the struggle which is wearing them to a shadow. Undoubtedly it !s a part of a comtrtned peace offensive which has been expected for some time, and which has taken definite form within the Inst few days. It la one of three move? which have been made almost simultaneously by enemy states. "COME ONI YOU CANT SWAMP ME!" WHAT UNCLE SAM DOESWITH MONEY How Funds Raised by Sale of Liberty Loan Bonds Is Expended by Government. FIGURES ARE STAGGERING Estimated Total of $24,000,000,000 Will Be Spent This Year for Preparation and Maintenance of Our Fighting Forces. Now that the people of the United States are to be asked In the Fourth Liberty Loan drive, which opens September 28 and continues three weeks, to lend the government at least twice as much money as has been asked before, the treasury department realizes that there is a natural curiosity on the part of the public to know for what all this money Is being expended. The amount already spent on preparation and the maintenance of the righting forces staggers the imagination, and the prospect is for an even larger expenditure In the present risen 1 year, the total being estimated at $24,000,- 000,000. Figures received at Liberty Loan headquarters for the Seventh Reserve district from the war department give an.idea of the vast sum* which have ^feeett expended and which -writ hare to be spent to win the wur, and this information brings home to all Americans a concrete Idea of how much money it takes to wage a modern war and how our money is being used to win victory. The following figures are an answer to the query of the average Liberty Bond buyer: "Just what will Uncle Sam do with the money from my $500 bond? A single bond does not go fur toward meeting the expeu.se of war, it is pointed out, but when the bonds of millions of Americans are brought together, the total of cash provided reaches stupendous totals. Since the United States entered the war in April, 1917, the war department has raised, equipped, trained and, with naval help, sent across the sea upward of a million and half of soldiers, and has practically as many more under training at home, Of all this vast number of men sent abroad, the number lost In transit as a result of U-boat attacks up to September 1, 1918, was less than 500. During this same time 2,000,000 rifles have been made, Inspected, assembled and Issued, and the weekly production is growing. The total amount of money directly appropriated by congress for the ordnance program, for which authorization has been given to incur obligations, amounts to approximately $12,- 000,000,000. From the beginning of the war to June 30, 1918, the last day of the past fiscal year, contracts were placed by the ordnance department from appropriations and authorizations existing at thfrt time amounting to $4,300,000,- 000. It is now estimated that during the present fiscal year ending June 30, 1919, the actual cash expenditures for ordnance will reach a total of $7,000,- 000,000. The major items for which cash expenditures were made or for which contracts were placed up to June 30, 1918. were as follows: ArtiUtry $1,060,000,000 Automatic rifles 300,000,000 Small arms-.

The American army is the best clothed and best fed army in the world, and the following illustrative figures of quartermaster purchases are interesting. For example, take six standard articles of food. Since the beginning of the war there have been bought for army use 625,461,392 pounds of flour at a cost of $43,375,445; 180.5X2,310 pounds of sugar at a cost of $14,452,- 512; 110,451,670 pounds of bacon at a cost of $43,000,000 ; 102,894,742 pounds of dry beans, costing $12,613,469; 72, 274,529 cans of tomatoes costing $9,- 278,121, and 38,421,256 pounds of rice at a cost of $2,775,000. These figures give one an idea of the size of Uncle Sam's market basket and the huge cost of army maintenance. The clothing bill for the army from April 1, 1917, to August 1, 1918, follows and shows how great sums have been essential to keep our men comfortably clothed : A r t i c l e . Quarvtlty. V'alu«.

Washington.—Perhaps, after HII. when I'rtwidem Wilson remarked tba* ^politics ia adjourned," he wa« stating " fact ltint existed throughout rhe country In spite of everything that the Politicians, nre trying to do. A Hepublicnn of prominence who has b«eo a member of the national committee recently returned from a trip throughout the country extending from Washington to California. "The ^strangest thing that I observed," he remarked upon his arrival In Washington, "is the tact that I found no oue who would talk politic*. On the other hand, everybody was for tlie war and earnestly determined to support the administration in the prosecution of the war. As nearly as I could see. the country is behind President Wilson, and although 1 am a stanch Republican, 1 firmly believe that if an election for president were to take place tomorrow, President Wilson would be elected regardless of Its being a third term. So far as 1 observed, the people Are in deadly earnest for this war and in support of the administration which Is prosecuting It." any Important vote «s taken, wnn* complaint is not made very frequently about the pairs, it often happens thai an Injury or in Justice is done to aorn* member by belug paired wrong, Results nave not been affected very much In the house by pairs, although it was said that the woman suffrage amendment was aided to a considerable excent by the manipulation of pairs when that close vote was caken. The Juggling of pairs in the senate hais on several occasions affected the vote on very Important measures. Tills has occurred also on occasions when twothirds votes are taken. The question of pairs prevented a vote on the woman suffrage amendment two months ago, and as Jong as there are vacancies or very «lck senators It may cause a delay when the suffrage amendment is again brought forward. But as i*ie matter of pairs is one of personal arrangement between senators ami representatives,, there does not seem to be any way of remedying it. That the German people as a whole are lo hluuie tor the war, and uot merely the kaiser and his military associates, is tiie view expressed by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts' in his able speerh outlining the aims of the United Slates. "We are not engaged In this watr to try to arrange a government for Germany." said Lodge. "The German people must do that themselves, and 'hey will get precisely the government thai they desire and deserve—- just as they now have the government they prefer, uliose purposes and ambitions and barbarism they share and sustuiu. Our pari and our business is 1O put Germany in a posltjon where she can do no more harm In the future to the rest of the world." >»»»%»»»»»»%»»»%%»»»»»»»»»»%»»< HIS FARMERETTE By N E L L I E A. O E L A N E Y . The debates in congress on the draft extension bill showed conclusively that a' great many senators and representatives did not believe that a sufficient number of men for army service had been procured between the ages of 21 and 31. Senator Pomerene of Ohio made a very strong speech in which he criticized the failure of the "oomblng process" and he remarked that there were too many men placed in deferred classification. "Too many young married men have been allowed to escape military service." said the Ohio senator. "It Is ridiculous to say that only such a small proportion of men between the age£ of 21 and 31 were found available for military duty," Senator Pomorene was firmly of the opinion thut it was unnecessary to take boys of 18 and 19 when so many well-to-do men had been placed In deferred classes under the previous draft. A comparison of the totals mentioned In casualty lists and those listed as prisoners of war in Germany shows that it is easier for the Huns to kill or wound American soldiers than it is to capture them. No doubt the majority of the few Americans now in German prison camps were temporarily disabled in some way before they could be captured. It is not an American trait to cry "karaerad," but rather to keep on fighting until deatli or unconsciousness steps until death or unconsciousness steps in. Considerable comment was aroused In the house when Congressman John-;, son of Washington exhibited a 108- pdund page In a soldier's outfit as an argument that boys of 18 are too young to be drafted. One amusing reference to Johnson's action was made by Congressman Langley of Kentucky. "I do not believe." said I«angley. "that there is a single member of this body, with the possible exception of Uncle Joe Cannon, who could not outpoint that boy in any physical contest, and I am not so sure but that even Oucle Joe might come out cf it the master." But on the other hand, as one mem* ber put i t there are other eighteenyear- old boys that could outrun and outjump any man in the house and outfight any two of them. One of the strongest of the many speeches in favor of extending the age limits for the draft was made by Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota. He called attention to the fact that soldiers of the Union a r m y and rhe soldiers of the Confederacy returned to various walks of life and became the very best citizens. "So will it be with the hoys of elghteen-and nineteen years who go to Europe." he said "They will come' back better citizens. more loyal rind with a higher spirit of patriotism tliiin they ever had before. They will never he a menace or a clanger to the community, and they «-111 not come back as ruined men." At thnt>pnlnt Senator Nelson was interrupted hy Senator Tall of New Mexico, who asked: "Who ran this CQiintry In every state and (he national government for thirty-fwur years after the Civil war? Who filled the halls of this and the other house?" "In the Nnrth that service was performed In large runt by Hie old soldiers, and in the South the same rights were accorded their veterans." was the Minnesota senator's reply. "And what was true of rhe soldiers both North and South of the Civil war will undoubtedly be true nf the men who re> turn from th^ present war. They will be the successful politicians of the future." Senator Nelson went on and showed how it was the young men. the hoys, so to speak, who turned the tide of battle when the Germans made their farthest advance. Senator Smith of Michigan asked him how old he was when he entered rhe Union army, and Nelson replied that he was a little over eighteen years, entered as a private, "and attained the high rank of corporal." He went on to say that most of the men In the compnny In which he served were under twenty years of age. There was one man thirty-five yenrs old. and they called him "Old Dnd." This man was not an effective soldier, as he was on the (Copyright, m 8 . Wwtern Newspaper Union.> Martha Colby added a few finishing touches to the already spotless kitchen. Tonight four girls were coming from t i e city to work on the farm. Mr. Colby found male help impossible to secure, so at last he gave up and advertised for farmerettes. Martha brushed back the jet black hair from her forehead, put oa a lresh blue gingham dress, a white, stiuly starched apron, and before she could get to the kitchen a loud pealing; of the door bell announced the arrival of the new farm hands. She opened the door nervously, and there stood four fashionably dressed girls. Laughing and chatting merrily, they followed the now more than ever nervous Martha. In the dining room Tom Colby, horn farmer, showed plainly that fife on a farm had not made him any different from the rest of the sterner sex. lie gazed admiringly at each pretty girl, and Martha could not remember when he had talked so much, but instead of the uneasy feeling leaving her it grew more appurent, and she tried in vain to hide the red hands, rough from heavy work. Married at sixteen, tlnn ten years of hard work to help pay off the mortgage on the little farm, made Martha feel more like forty than twenty-sis. Before the first meal was over Martha was experiencing a feeling absolutely new to her. She was thinking' of the long evenings when Tom, after a hard day's work, would go to sleep In his easy chair, then the long, lonesome evening must be passed in silence. Tonight he was wide awake, and after supper, through the open window Martha watched hirn eagerly show the four girls the different places on the farm. She turned from the window, and the ugly pain that had started at supper, Increased with great rapidity, nor could she explain its meaning, for Martha was experiencing jealousy for the first time in her life. Sjie hated the four rosy-cheeked girls with their city ways; she hated the way they plastered their hair around their ears, entirely covering tnem, and she felt that she almost hated her beloved Tom. As the days wore on Martha became more silent and miserable. One day she got up courage to nsk Tom what he thought of the farmerettes, and he expressed himself in one word, "peaches." Then It was true, she told herself, Tom was slowly slipping awny from her, and walking into the next room the big brown eyes filled with tears. "Why the tears, girlie?" a musical rolce sounded behind her. The blood rushed to Martha's cheeks as the prettiest of the four farmerettes npproached her. "I forgot my powder puff," she added by way of explanation for coming back from the field. Martha's first impulse was to run away; instead, womanlike, she burst into tears, and let the girl she hated lead her to the chair and coax from her the reason why she wept. Putting her arm around Martha, she whispered : "Little country girl, you are Jealous without cause; why, you are five times as pretty as any city girl. But as we are going back to the city tonight, let's prove that fact to your husband. Fie is going to drive us to the station, but before we go we will When the report of the senate subcommittee to Investigate aircraft production was ready for presentation it was brought up by Senator Thomas of Colorado, chairman of the subcommittee. In presenting the report be said that the committee on military affair* had instructed him to have it read, so the secretary of the senate began reading. Before very long, however, the Colorado senator Interrupted: **ln view of the fact that the reading of this report does not neem to command the pretence of the senate, I ask that its farther reading be dispensed with." That report was too Important for senators to listen to it. They wanted to get a copy and read it. Never a congressman or congressional party finishes a trip through the war area without at least one narrow escape from dea.h. Stories that come hack from time to time assert that Senator Blank or Congressman Dash has barely missed being exterminated In in air raid or by an enemy shell.

Senator ^ s y o u ",J a " « l e - n n l y , " she a'Uled. Nelson said that perhaps his years w e C f m t *ut ftn-v m n r e r o s e s l n of experience both in the army and outside hod made him rather callous, and he could not "indulge in this maudlin sentiment and go into hysterics in behalf of the l>oys of eighteen, nineteen and twenty. "Furthermore." he added. "T believe the best education these boys can get is that which will he derived from life and training in the army." While pointing out the benefits which men who served in the Civil war received. Senator Nelson made s comparison of the manner In which men In the army are treated now and M years ago. They have benefits and comforts which were not accorded soldiers on either side in the Civil war, such ns the Y. M. C. A. and otlier organizations, and the Red Cross. "The soldiers of the Union army never had ham and bacon," said Nelson; "we received nothing but salt pork and salt beef in the brine, and hardtack. In thosr days we were not even able to get 'Hoover bread.' * In the debate on the extension of the ages for' the draft the following Interesting figure* were brought ont In regard to soldiers who served In the Union army during the Civil war: Under twenty-one years of age, 2,:r®.7«8; of these 1.551.438 were under eighteen years of a g e: 804.901 were under seventeen years, while 231.0M were under sixteen. And what is still more mirprlslng, there were 104.987 under fifteen years. Watt Speaker Clark terms -an ex- «re*penee ftpon the "body pontic" Is the pairing of members of congress whoa ] During the debate on the extension of the draft nearly every time when a senator or a member of the house made a telling remark* about "sables of eighteen years" being thrown Into the battle front, the women in the galleries would applaud. "That la the best argument against woman suffrage that has been made." remarked a maa la the gallery. "It goes to show that If women had control they never wooid allow a war because It would mesa the sacrifice of their SOBS and rela Uvea." those cheeks." After much whispered planning, they separated. That night, as Tom Colby sat in the wagon waiting for the four girls to appear, it seemed to him it took them a long time to bid Martha good-by. They finally appeared, and Tom drove them to the station. He did not wait for the train ; somehow, tonight he longed to pass a pleasant evening alone with his wife; he had made up his mind there was just one little farmerettein the world for him, and that was- Martha. As he drove into the yard, he was a little surprised that Martha did not come to meet him, as was her custom. Throwing the reins to the hired man, he hurried into the kitchen. The supper dishes were still ln the pan, and the table had not been cleared. A feeling of fear came over Tom, and he hurried Into the bedroom. There on the floor ln a crumpled heap was t h e familiar blue gingham dress. A slight noise in the parlor turned his attention there, and pushing open the door he beheld Martha In a blue silk dress, white shoes and stockings, and, worst of all, the beautlfnl black hair was pulled tightly over two pink ears. Tom stared for some minutes In silence, then Martha asked sweetly: **Do I look so strange In pretty clothes, Tom? Don't I took as good as the fonr farmerettes?*' "Why, Martha, girt." Tom replied slowly, "there's Just one farmerette in this world for me, and that's my Mar* tha, but it took four city girls to wake ' me up to that fact, b u t " he added, wistfully, "I like yon best in the bine gingham, with your hair done the other way." The following week a little stenographer la a stuffy office stopped pomading the keys of her typewriter ton* enough to read a postcard from her country friend, sod she smiled happily at its contents: "It worked fine,-dear, hot I am still wearing my gingham dreaa, and he went let me wear my hair over my ears.** Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Round-Up of a Turkey Drive. FAnEN TURKEYS FOR THE MARKET Finish Fowls When Demand Is Keen and Price Correspondingly Attractive. EXCELLENT PLAN OUTLINED New Corn Can Safely Be Fed if Fowls Are Gradually Accustomed to I t - Birds Always Make Best Gains on Free Range. The true test of expert turkey raising Is to be able to market u large percentage of the annual crop In the pink of market 'finish at a time when the demand Is keen and the price correspond inj?ly attractive. In fattening turkeys for the market an excellent plan la to begin early In October to feed night and morning, only feeding enough at a time so that the birds go away still feeling a little hungry, and gradually Increasing the quantity until they are gtven all they will clean tip three times a day during the week before marketing. Ry the latter feeding is meant that they are fed until they leave the feed and walk awny. Some turkey raisers feed oats during the first part of the fattening season, gradually changing to corn aa the weather becomes cooler. Previous to the war, Avheat was used Jn the same manner as oats. The majority, however, begin feeding heavily on corn about November 1. and since turkeys are not accustomed to such heavy feeding, Bcours often result especially If new corn Is used. New corn can be fed safely if the turkeys are gradually accustomed to it by feeding lightly at first and more heavily afterward- Confining turkeys during the fattening season to prevent their using so much energy in ranging has been tried to some extent, but with very little success. Those confined to a pen eat heartily for two or three days, but after this they lose their appetite and begin to lose flesh rapidly. On allowing them free range again, they pick up rapidly and are soon eating as heartily as ever. ^The better method Is to allow them free range, as It keeps them In good, healthy condition, and they are alwavs eager to be fed. Nuts From the Range. Nuts of various kinds are a natural fattening feed picked up by the turkeys on the range. Of these beechcuts, chestnuts, pecans and acorns pre the most commonly found by them. Many turkey growers in Texas depend <*frlely upon acorns for fattoriing their turkeys, and when these nuts are plentiful the birds are marketed In fairly good condition. The marketing season for turkeys is very short, running from the middle of November to the latter part of December. Most turkey raisers sell their bird* alive to poultry dealers, who either dress them or ship them alfre to city denier*. Farmers near the city markets, and particularly those in the middle Atlantic and New England ttrtss, often dress the turkeys and either sell them direct to the ceo- •sjsjnr or to city dealers. In some see* flnawf shortly before Thankativlng ( h m li heM what Is known aa tttrkay 4*yl On the day before the event •vary turkey grower in the neighborhoo6 fcfOa and dresses Ms turkeys sad the CsOvwtac morafiig brings them Into iown, where they are bid on and purchased by whatever buyers choose to be there, the birds going to the highest bidder. In sections in which turkeys are grown in large numbers, as in Texas, dressing plants have been built by poultry dealers, who buy the birds alive and dress them for the various city markets. In such cases practically all the turkey raisers sell to these dealers, who often send buyers out into the country to gather up a drove of several hundred birds by stopping at each farm as they pass, weighing whatever turkeys the farmer may have to sell, and adding them to those already collected. Six or eight men can drive a fiock of 1,000 turkeys 10 to 12 miles a day. As soon as possible after the turkeys are received at the dressing plant they are killed, dry-picked, cooled and packed in barrels or boxes for shipment. Killing and Dressing.. •In killing and dressing turkeys on the farm they should first be deprived of feed for 24 hours, but given plenty of fresh, clean water in order to clean the crop and intestines of all feed. When ready to kill, the bird should be hung up by the feet; holding the bird in one hand a sharp, narrow-bladed knife is used to sever the veins In the throat by making a small cut Inside the mouth on the right side of the throat at the base of the skull. After making this cut and bleeding begins, the knife is thrust up through the groove in the roof of the mouth and into the brain at the back part of the skull. On piercing the brain the bird gives a peculiar squawk, the feathers are loosened by a quivering of the muscles, and death is Instantaneous. In dry-plcklng the feathers should be plucked Immediately, and if the bird has been properly stuck they come out very easily. The tail and large wing feathers are removed first after which the body feathers are pulled out When the turkeys are to be marketed locally or are to be shipped but a short distance they are cooled to a temperature of about 35 degrees Fahrenheit by hanging in the open air, provided the weather is cool enough; otherwise they are plunged into ice water and kept there until thoroughly cooled. After cooling they are packed undrawn in boxes or barrels. It is Inadvisable for the producer without proper refrigerating facilities to ship dressed turkeys, as losses from improper cooling and from their being exposed to warm weather during transit are liable to occur. Aside from this It is seldom profitable to ship turkeys any great distance except In carload lots; when this Is done the turkeys are cooled to 82 degrees Fahrenheit packed In boxes or barrels, and shipped In refrigerator cars. Provide Plenty of Water. Water receptacles for poultry should be large enough to hold plenty of water to last at least 24 hours, so the fowls will never suffer from Isck of water. Drinking vessels should be carefully rinsed when fresh water Is given. If water is supplied irregularly, the hens will likely drink too much at a time. It should not be exposed to the sun's rays in summer or be silowed to freese In winter If this can be avoided. A flock of SO hens in good laying condition win require four to six quarts of water a day. Shade of some kind should be provided for poultry, and this can often be advantageously furnished by planting fruit trees (such as pear, plum, cherry and apple) la the ysrd. Oaaae Mve to a great age.

Difficulties of soldiers who formerly <vere successful business men, In paying last year's Income tax on this year's pay are illustrated by a story brought to Washington by an officer serving at one of the southern cantonments. Last February, the officer said, he explained to the men of his command that all married men would have to pay a tax on all their last year's earnings over $2,000, while unmarried men would have to pay on all incomes over $1,000. Coming to him later one of the men, a private, said : "I guess I won't be able to pay that Income tax. I haven't any money." "Oh, that's all rlght,n replied the officer, "you have until June to pay It and you can save it out of your pay by that time." "I am afraid I couldn't," responded the private, "I made $35,000 last year and I blew it all when I was called Into the army."

There is a strong tendency ID France to simplify street hats to the point of bare severity, and there is a strong effort here to trim all hats with a choice of buckles, ribbon, flowers, plumes, cords or embroidery. The sailor, with Its straight brim, has given place to a pinafore sailor Pinafore sailor, taken from the picturesque headgear of an older age, is kept in fashion and is shown here hi black velvet with a band of groagrain ribbon around'the crown.

It is DOW made in felt and black velvet and Is sponsored by the good milliners. It rolls up from the bead and has a low, crushed crown that does not interfere in any way with the lines of the brim. This hat is untrlmmed, except for a crown-band of satin ribbon and a flat bow at the side, or rather, this is the style In which it is advocated for street wear and worn by well-dressed women; but certain milliners provide Its crown with a large wreath of colored roses or ragged chrysanthemums, and the effect is quite good. It is then appropriate for an afternoon h a t By the way, duplication is a strong point in the modern selection of clothes. The woman who thinks she must have every gown in her wardrobe different from the other, would be aghast at the knowledge that certain fashionable women are leading the way to having five gowns made for an entire season exactly alike, and five bats to go with them, exactly alike. The dressmakers have become accustomed to this Innovation during the last six months and they are now quite MOCK SEAMS IN NEW HOSIERY Demand for Full-FaeMoned Stocking* Caused Machine to Bo Invented to Satisfy Woman's Wishes. Of course every woman knows that a seam up the back of. a silk stocking bespeaks the distinction of that stocking. Seamed stockings, or as the manufacturer calls them, "Fall-fashioned" stockings, are the aristocrats of hosiery. One wears seamless hose that are bound to wrinkle at the ankle sooner or later, only when compelled by dire'necessity. The shops have been flooded with seamless stockings of late, because now that imports from Germany (where stockings usefl to come from) have ceased, American mills have not bean able to tnrn eat superior, full-fashioned hose fast enough to- supply the demand. One resourceful woman took a needle and whipped a seam down the back of her despised seamless stockings. Other women followed her bright example. Soon the canny, manufacturers discovered the clever ruse. New there' are that put used to it in the preparation of au autumn wurdrobe. A woman comes in, selects an entire costume with care arid attention to every detail, then orders as many as she needs for the season in different materials, weights and colors. One woman even ordered her four evening gowns made exactly ullke, merely changing the color. This is the essence • of economy- of time. The fashion was evolved out of thst necessity. OF INTEREST TO WOMEN FOLK Shots and Hats Should Harmonize; Velours Most Desired Coat Fabric— Gown* Without Trimming. —<c The all-white toilette possesses undeniable distinction. Chiffon evening gowns are absolutely without trimming. Wide tucks are seen on the skirts of the Paris dresses. Gabardine frocks are belted with narrow strips at suede. Flowered cretonnes make attractive odd waistcoats and smocks. Shoes and hats should harmonize if a costume is to be successful. One-piece dresses show plain flat backs with the fronts trimmed. White lawn and lingerie collars are very charming on linen frocks. Dresses of navy voile, printed foulard are trimmed with beads. Velours, in spite of their scarcity, are the most desired coat fabrics. The latest boudoir caps are raad«? of organdie and scalloped daintily. Tucks and Tucks. Tucks and then more tucks are featured on the newest frocks of every thin material. The tucks give body to even the most flimsy fabric and successfully break down even the plainest surface.

Peter Widely Circulated in Kaiser's Empire, and Reproduced in This Country, Shows Morale Of Huns It Being Shattered. A poster recently issued by the Imperial German government In an effort to belittle the participation of America in the war and thus strengthen the morale of her people form the text of one of the most striking pieces of literature that the bureau of publicity of the war loan organisation has prepared for use in the forthcoming Fourth Liberty loan. The title of the poster is "Can America's Entry Make a decision of the War?" Integra! sections of it attempt to convince the render that America's army cannot take the place of Russia's withdrawn forces; that the United States cannot build enough ships to have any effect on the result of the war, and that the U-boats will destroy virtually all the ships that America can build when those ships attempt to cross the ocean. A French poster also is reproduced in the German poster and the meaning so twisted as to make it appear that France 'Is very badly in need of food. Two millions of the booklets have been printed and will he distributed in various parts of the country, particularly In theaters where -Liberty Loan speakers take the book as their text. The enormous figure of a Russian soldier Is the first object on the pouter to strike the eye. He stands with hands la his overcoat, pockets, indicative of the fact that he is through fighting. Beside him stand* Uncle Sam holding a small figure, designed to represent the United States array, In his right hand. In hie left hand TJnel«» Sam carries a banner which bears the inscription, ''America threatens to send transport of one-half million men. But It cannot ship them I" Below Uncle Sam are theee words: "It is impossible for America to train and fit ont in time for the European war a suitable and sufficiently large army and provide It with the necessary reenforcements." The eatchliae of this section of the poster Is Russia's army of millions could not down Germany," find on the skirt of the Russian soldier's overcoat are printed these words: "Russia used up altogether fifteen million men in v a l o r On the opposite side of :he poster h this £*ichllne: "England's sea powet and England's merchant marine havt not decided the war!" Below thi*> line appears a huge figure intended to represent the English shipping facilities at the outbreak of the war, which bears these words: "England went into the war with twenty million gross* registered tons of freight space." Alongside this figure of a ship is a drawing designed to show Uncle Saw carrying the United States tonnage under his left arm. The caption above Uncle Sam reads: "Can America replace England on sea?" . On the ship which Uncle Sam carries is primed this inscription: "Three million gross registry tons," and below that Is another inscription which says: "At the beginning of the war America had only a tonnage of three million gross registered tons." Commenting on these statements, the poster further declares "America cannot Increase her gross registered tons for 1918 by more than two to two and a half million tons. Our U-boats sink twice as Quickly as England and America can build!" The answer of the publicity bureuu to the two sections of the poster referring to the transportation of men und the building of ships follows: "At the moment the bulletin boards of Germany scoffed the possibility of America sending a force to France, there were already more than a million fighting men overseas, and transports, walled about by the American navy-defying the cowardly submarines, were bearing every month hundreds of thousands more. The gauge is set and the summer of 1919 will see 4,000,000 fighting American men in France. Nor will there be a lack of ships to transport and sustain them. The Liberty Bond buyer is fast giving to America a merchant marine that will be the peer of any in the world. America launched in July alone 635,011 tons. Losses to allied and neutral shipping combined, from every cause, for the last six months, amounted to 2,089,393 tons. "The distance from New York to England, the Boche points out," comments the bureau of publicity publication, "is two hundred times greater than that from England to France, from which he spells 'Opportunity for the German U-boats.' Pitiful is this Uoust In face of the facts. Instead of the U-boat being an unconquerable engine of war, as the Hun confidently expected, it has become the slinking foe of fishing smacks and other isolated craft. The vast army of Liberty Bond buyers, thirty millions strong, has built an unbroken bridge over the Atlantic ocean Into the heart of the enemy's strongholds. Across this bridge there are streaming our millions of fighting men, as good as the world has ever known, munitions and equipment that have been wrought by those back home, whose determination is that the American fighting man shall lack nothing that he needs." As a back-handed slap at the French, the German propagandists have reproduced a French poster which pleads with French people to eat less In or-. der that the United States may send over more man power. The French poster pointed out that If every person In France would save a hundred grams of food a day that the American reinforcements could be increased a division a month. The French catchline on this poster was "Does France want wheat or men?" and the German poster remarks "Also the allies are now beginning to have their doubts!" In a further effort to convince the German people that It will be Impossible for the United States to transport troops to France, the German section of the poster^says that ten tons of freight space are required for every soldier In crossing the water. The truth is that a soldier requires less than one-half this amount of space. Summing up all the falsehoods which the German poster contains, the booklet says: "The War Lord of Germany may have the futile hope that his people will devour in the place of food, such statements- as the foregoing. Falsehoods, however, are poor substitutes and are likely to aggravate rather than appease when the deluded people of Germany learn that every requirement of the American soldier will be met by his patriotic and unqualified support back home. If s single soldier required ten tons of freight space, it would be given him Bnt the truth is he requires less than ono-half of that. "As for Germany's statement that even if the United States built from two and a half million gross registered tons in 1918, it would not mean deliverance for the allies, no further comment Is needed than that by July of this year the 2,060,000-ton mark hns been passed. If further refutation of the Hun boast of his U-boat prowess were needed, It might be stated that less than 500 American seiners have lost their lives in the present war as a result of U-boat struck*'• Closing the booklet Is this striking quotation from Secretary McAdoo: T h e Fourth Liberty loan is the bar rnsr which will precede the victorious thrust of o v army.** SMfSGIOQL LESSON (By REV. P. B. FITZWATKR, D. D., T«»c&«r ot English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute oi Chicago.) (Copyright, i91S, Western Newspaper Union.X) - LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 29 REVIEW. SUBJECT—What It Means to Be a Christian. SELECTION FOR KEADING-1 John 3:1-24. GOLDEN TEXT—My little children. let u« not love in word, neither in tongue; but In deed, and truth.—1 John 5:l&. Perhaps the best way to review the lessons of this quarter will be to take the several lessons and note their hearing on the subject chosen for review; namely : What tt means to be a Christian. In order to get the best results, assignment .should be made of the several lessons to different parties to come prepared to give the teaching of the particular lesson on the subject. The following is suggested as a possible way of presenting the matter. Lesson I. It means that each Individual must exercise fnlth in Jesus Christ as a personul Savior. One may have his heart opened by the Lord while listening to the Word of God at a stated meeting, like Lydia. or be convinced through the manifestation of the mighty power of God, as the Philippian jailer. In all cases it is the one Savior and the one faith. Lesson II. It means that those who have really exercised faith In the Lord Jesus Christ will attentively read God's Word. Even a great statesman like the Ethiopian Eunuch will be blessed In its reading, for. the Word of God converts the soul, makes wise the siropie, puts gladness Into the heart, enlightens the eyes, satisfies the longing soul, warns against dangers, and brings reward to those who obey its precepts. Lesson III. It means a life of personal prayer and communion with God. The one who has become a child of God has the glorious privilege of coming to him with his needs with the assurance that God will supply them. God is more willing to give to his children than any earthly father is to his children. Lesson IV. It means a life of obedience to the Word and will of God. Prompt and definite obedience will be rendered, even to the separation from business, and the ties of nature, when such stand in the way. Peter, Andrew, James and John obeyed, and It meant to thera great spiritual blessings. From fishing for fish, they were promoted to fishing for men. Obedience to God pays. The disciple of Christ will treasure up his words. Lesson V. , It means growth in grace. Jesus himself grew in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and man. Merely accepting Christ is not enough; there must be growth. Lesson VI. It means a life of helpfulness to others. One who has been made a partaker of the Divine nature will, like his master, give himself in helpful service to others. He will be a neighbor to the needy and unfortunate, even as the Good Samaritan. Being good In himself, he will be doing good to others. He will use every opportunity to do good. Lesson VII. It means Attendance at the place of worship, receiving the teaching of the Word of God, partaking of the communion,, and rendering service in some capacity In the church, Lesson VIII. It means confessing Christ before men, and waiting with expectant hope for the coming of Jesus Christ from Heaven. The grand incentive for faithfulness in witnessing for Christ is the assurance that ho will come again. Lesson IX. It means that we will five of our possessions to the poor and needy, love our enemies, and refrain from censorious judgment God estimates our gifts, not by their sise but by what we have left Lesson X. It means that one will strive to conquer bis evil propensities, not allow covetousness to master him as did Ahab, and separate himself from those who wallc In darkness. He will exercise great caution lest he become overcome by the devil. Lessen XI. It means being holy and true, in order that we may preserve from corruption the great mass of men and enlighten those la darkness, preaching the Gospel to every creature, conscious that the presence and power of Christ will abide. Lesson Xli. It means that every talent entrusted to us win be put to use, so that when the Lord comes we can make an account to him which win •score his commendation and reward. Th# Qrtatact Teachings. There are no songs comparable to the songs of Zlon; no orations equal to those of the prophets; and no politics like these which the Scriptures teach, -Milton. 5£ PINCKNEY DISPATCH , u OVER THE TOP 99 By An American Arthur Guy Empey S o l d i e r W h o W e n t Machine Gunner, Serving in France OopyrKfe* 191?, by Artfcnr Qv? C H A P T E R XXVII—Continued. — 2 7 — Tommy generally replies that he did hot stop to figure it out when he was hit. One very nice-looking, overenthusiastic young thing, stopped at my bed and asked, "What wounded you in the face?" In a polite but bored tone I answered, MA rifle bullet." With a look of disdain she passed to the next bed, first ejaculating, "Ohl Only a bullet? I thought It was a shell." Why she should think a shell wound was more of a distinction beats me. I don't see a whole lot of difference myself. The American Women's War hospital was a heaven for wounded men. They were allowed every privilege possible conducive with the rules at»d military discipline. The only fault was that the men's passes were restricted. To get a pass required an act of parliament Tommy tried many tricks to get out, but the commandant an old Boer war officer, was wise to them all, and it took a new and clever ruse to make him affix his signature to the coveted slip of paper. As soon as it would get dark many a patient ellmbed over the wall and went "on his own," regardless of many signs staring him in the face, "Out of bounds for patients." Generally the nurses were looking the other way when one of these night raids started. I hope this information will get none of them into trouble, tat I cannot resist the temptation to let the commandant know that occasionally we put it over on him. One afternoon I received a note, through our underground channel, from my female visitor, asking me to attend a party at her house that night I answered that she could expect me and to meet me at a certain place on the road well known by all patients, and some visitors, as "over the wall." I told her I would be on hand at seventhirty. About seven-fifteen I sneaked my overcoat and cap out of the ward and hid It In the bushes. Then I told the nurse, a particular friend of mine, that I was going for a walk in the rose garden. She winked and I knew that everything was all right on her end. Going out of the ward, 1 slipped Into the bushes and made for the wall. It was dark as pitch and I was groping • through the underbrush, when suddenly I stepped into space and felt myself rushing downward, a horrible bump, and blackness. When I came to my wounded shoulder was hurting horribly. I was lying against a circular wall of bricks, dripping with moisture, and far away I could hear the trickling of water. 1 had In the darkness fallen Into an old disused well. But why wasn't I wet? According to all mles I should have been drowned. Perhaps I was and didn't know It As the shock of my sudden stop gradually wore off It came to me that I was lying on a ledge and that the least movement on my part 'would precipitate me to the bottom of the well. I struck a match. In Its faint glare I saw that I was lying in a circular hole about twelve feet deep—the well had been filled In! The dripping I had heard came from a water pipe over on my right With my wounded shoulder it was impossible to shinny up the pipe. I could not yell for help, because the rescuer would want to know how the accident happened, and I would be haled before the commandant on charges, 1 just had to grin and bear It, with the forlorn hope that one of the returning night raiders would pass and I could give him our usual signal of "slas-s-s-t," which would bring him to the rescue. Every half-hour I could hear the dock in the village strike, each stroke bringing forth a muffled volley of curses on the man who had dug the welt After two hours I heard two men talking in low voices. I recognised Corporal Coot, an ardent "night raider." He heard my "slss-s-s-s" and came to the edge of the hole. I explained my predicament and amid a lot of impertinent remarks, which at the time I did not resent I was. soon fished out. - Taking off our boots, we sneaked Into the ward. I was sitting on my bed In the dark, just starting to undress, when the man next to nfe, "Ginger" Phillips, whispered, * fOp it, Tank, 'ere comes the aatrotv* I tmaedUteiy got under the covers and feigned sleep.. The matron stood talking In low tooes to the night narse and IfsU asleep. Wlea X twos* 1» the moraiag tae over me. An awful sight met my dyea. The coverlet on the bed and the sheets were a mass of mud and green «11 me. She was a good sport all right, and hustled to get clean clothes and sheets so that no one would get wise, but "on her OWB" she gave me a good tongue lashing but did not report me. One of the Canadians in the ward described her as being "a Jake of a good fellow." Next visiting day I had an awful time explaining to my visitor why I had not met her at the appointed time and place. And for a week every time I passed a patient he would call, "Well, well, here's the Yank. Hope you are feeling well, old top." The surgeon in our ward was an American, a Harvard unit man, named Frost. We nicknamed him "Jack Frost" He was loved by all. If a Tommy was-to be cut up he hadJio oh- >ction to undergoing the operation If *Jack Frost" was to wield the knife. Their confidence in him was pathetic | He was the best sport I have ever met One Saturday morning the commandant and some "high up" officers were inspecting the ward, when one of the patients who had been wounded in the head by a bit of shrapnel, fell on the floor in a fit. They brought him round, and then looked for the ward orderly to carry the patient back to his bed at the other end of the ward. The orderly was nowhere to be found—like our policemen, they never are when needed. The officers were at a loss how to get Palmer into his bed. Doctor Frost was fidgeting around in a nervous manner, when suddenly with a muffled "d n" and a few other qualifying adjectives, he stooped down and took the man in his arms like a baby—he was no feather, either—and staggered down the ward with him, put The Author Just Before Leaving for Home. him in bed and undressed him. A low murmur of approval -came from the patients. Doctor Frost got very red, and as soon as he had finished undressing Palmer, hurriedly left the ward. The wound in my face had almost healed and I was a horrible-looking sight—the left cheek twisted Into a knot, the eye pulled down, and my mouth pointing In a north by northj- west direction. I was very downhearted and could imagine, myself daring the rest of my life being shunned by all on account of the repulsive scar. Doctor Frost arranged for ms to go to the Cambridge Military hospital st Aldershot for a special operation to try and make the scar presentable. I arrived at the hospital and got an awful shock. The food was poor and the discipline abnormally strict. No patient was allowed t o sit on his bed, and smoking was permitted only at certain designated hours. The face specialist did nothing for me except to look at the wound. I made application for a transfer back to Paignton, offering to pay my transportation. This offer was accepted, and after two weeks' absence, ones again I srrtvsd hi afsnsey ward, an hops gone. The seat day after my return Doctor Frost stopped at my bed sad said: I "Watt Bmpey, if you want me to try and see4 what I can do with that Til do it, but you are taking an awful chance." 1 answered: "Well, doctor, Steve Brodle took a chance; he hulls from New York and so do L" Two days after the undertaker squad carried me to the operating ruom or "pictures," as we called them because of the funny films we see under ether, and the operation was performed. It was a wonderful piece of surgery and a marvelous success. From now on that doctor can have my shirt More than once some poor soldier has been brought into the ward in a dying condition, resulting from loss of blood and exhaustion caused by his long Journey from the trenches. After an examination the doctor announces that the only thing that will save him is a transfusion of blood. Where is the blood to come from? He does not have to wait long for an answer—several Tommies Immediately volunteer their blood for their mate. Three or four are accepted; a blood test ts made, and next day the transfusion takes place and there is another pale face In the ward. Whenever bone is needed for some special operation, there are always men willing to give some—a leg if necessary to save some mangled mate from being crippled for life. More than one man will go through life with another man's blood running through his veins, or a piece of his rib or his shinbone in his own anatomy. Sometimes he never even knows the name of his benefactor. The spirit of sacrifice is wonderful. For all the suffering caused this war ts a blessing to England—it has made new men of her sons; has welded all classes into one glorious whole. And I can't help saying that the doctors, gisters, and nurses in the English hospitals, are angels on earth. I love them all and can never repay the care and kindness shown to me. For the reat of my ilfe the Red Cross will be to me the symbol of Faith, Hope and Charity. After four months in the hospital, I went before an examining board and w as discharged from the service of his Britannic majesty as "physically unfit for further war service." YIELDS "APPLE OF SODOM" Curious Plant Which Grows on the Borders of the Deed Sea Produces This Fruit The Dead sea is situated In the southeast part of Palestine, and is called by the Arabs Bahr Loot, or Sea of Lot It is about 47 miles long, with an average breadth of nine miles. Its depth varies considerably. It Is fed by the Jordan from the north, and by many other streams, but has no apparent outlet, its superfluous water being supposed to be entirely carried off by the evaporation. The north shores of the sea are marked by the blackened trunks and branches of trees which are incrusted with salt as is everything that is exposed to the spray of this sea. On the southern shore Is the remarkable mass of rock called Udsum (Sodom). It is a narrow, rugged ridge of hill extending Ave miles northwest and consisting of rock salt To the north of Udsum, and at no great distance, is the supposed site of the ancient Sodom. On the borders of the Deed sea a curious plant grows which yields fruit called the "Apple of Sodom," beautiful on the outside but bitter to the taste, and, when mature, filled with fiber and dust The mean level of the Dead sea Is 1,292 feet below the level of the Mediterranean. The water contains from 24 to 26 per cent of salts, of which 7 per cent is common s s l t A salt-water fish put into the Dead sea perishes at once. Owing to Its density due to salt the water of the sea Is very buoyant Making the Dandelion Beautiful. The original chrysanthemum, from which all the superb varieties we know today are descended, was, in Its wild state, no bigger or handsomer tbsn s dandelion.

War la not a pink tea, but in a worthwhile cause Mke~ours, mud, rats, cooties, sheila, wounds, or death Itself, are far outweighed by the deep sense of satisfaction felt by the uiaa who does his bit. There is one thing which my experience taught me that might help the boy who may have' to go. It is this— anticipation is far worse than realization.

When the time comes he rises to the occasion, is up and at it, and is surprised to find how much more easily than he anticipated he fills his responsibilities. It is really so "out thtire."

THE END. ROMEO WAS CLAD IN KHAKI Played the Popular Qame, Choosing the Dinner Table to Work on Af. fectlorn of Waitress, It is natural that we should be eager to do whatever we can for the boys in khaki; but sometimes, when the patriotic zeal is not accompanied by a sympathetic imagination, the beneficiary may pray to be delivered from our friends, writes "An American Woman" in the Outlook. A homesick lad is likely to want either an atmosphere like that of his own home or else the exotic flavor the expectation of which has helped him to undertake the great adventure so cheerily. In one family Rmong my neighbors the son of the house was scandalized when one of their guests at Sunday dinner made the perfectly simple and natural request that he be permitted after the meal to repair to the kitchen where the pretty waitress was. Permission was denied, but young Komeo was not discouraged, and this letter came "To the Girl That Walts for Mrs. So-and-So: Ynu are the best ever. Are you keeping company with anybody?" He added his name and a few personal details, and this delicious bit of identification : "If you don't know which soldier wrote this, it is the one that touched your hand under the (fish when you passed the potatoes." And Spain, Tool Although neutral Spain may not be in the war, the Spaniards are certainly In It. The French have been perfectly well aware that hundreds of Spanlards joined the Foreign Legion, at the beginning of the war; so that Paris was not taken the least by surprise when 300 Spanish soldiers paraded in French uniform to receive decorations for valor. The Spanish colony patrt* otically welcomed them with fiery speeches, while the French loaded them with medals. Three received the reward of the Legion o? Honor, and scores the Croix Mllltalre and the Croix de Guerre. Since, from a strictly legal point of view, the Spanish legionaries have imperiled their nation's neutrality. It will be Interesting to know what Berlin will have to say about It; or rather about the 56 sinkings of Spanish ships and the 56 protests made by Spain, which "frie&My* Germany has consistently Jgnorev.-* Christian Science Monitor. 31am 8tudlSs Philippine Health.

In a comiuuiucafiou intended for rhe gaiiiJajueti of employers of labor un- jst Marshal General Crowtler says : have noticed, in the general expressions of the public attitude which reach this, oflice, two frequent features which lead me to the present CHJU»- ments. One of these fen tares is the belief that the process of awarding <lo ferred classification to a resist nun requires merely the tilling' mit of rhe questionnaire, and that the selective service boards will perceive the propriety of making the deferment, without the assistance furnished by the registrant's formal cU.irn indicating t h e deferment desired. The other feat u r e is the employer's failure to realize his responsibility to intervene In aiding the board's determination, and therefore to inform himself fully on all t h e considerations which should affect the decision as to deferment. 1. As to the first mentioned belief. it must be pointed out that if it were universally acted upon, the process of classification would be seriously hampered and delayed. Someone must indicate that the individual case is one which should arrest Ihe special attention of the hoards in respect to the regi s t r a n t ' s occupational status. T h e boards do not possess a superhuman omnlscence. Boards Will Make Examination. The boards will do all that they possibly can. on their own initiative, to reach a just decision by a complete examination of the questionnaire, even where no claim Is expressly made. A registrant is therefore at liberty, if he sees fit. to trust to the scrutiny of The fionrds to discover the necessity for his deferment. , Nevertheless, t h e boards will welcome and will need all the aid Mint cmi be furnished by the ind'caiion of a claim made for deferment. 2. Why should the employer, or other third person, in such fuses, m a k e the claim? Because the employer ir this situation represents the nation, because (in the statutory phrase) "the maintenance of the military establishment or of national interest during the emergency" requires t h a t some well-advised third person should look After thnt national interest, which t h e registrant himself may not have sufficiently considered. It is often forgotten that the selective draft Is only one element in the depletion of n particular industry's rrmn-power. A second and large elem e n t Is found in the voluntary withd r a w a l s for enlistment : how large thl* is tuny be seen from the circumstance Ihat the total Inductions by draft have reached some 2,000.0()0, while the torn; enlistments in army and nnvy amount to some 1.400.000—nearly Ihree-qnnr ters a* many. A third element, very large, but unknown as to its precise extent, lias been the transfer of labor power from one Indnstrv to a n o t h e r namely. Into the distinctively wfir in dust Ties offering the Poincements of higher wages. How relatively small, in actual effect, h a s been the effect of the selective draft Is seen in the fact that, for nil the occupations represented In the 8,700.000 classified regist r a n t s of January, 1018. the percentage of the entire Industrial, population represented by the class 1 regist r a n t s amounted to only ("5 per cent. Tt ran as low ns 3 per cent for some occupations, and correspondingly higher for some other occupations: but the national average was only 0 per cent. Any notably larger depletion In particular industries must therefore have been due, partly to enlistments, and In probably greater degree, to voluntary transfers into other Industries. Must Remember Nation's Needs. These other Influences are therefore to be kept In mlntl by employers and others, In weighing the question whether t h e be*t solution. In the national interest. Is to ask for the deferment of Individuals or groups of men. Such deferments may assist the immediate situation in the particular establishm e n t : hut they merely force the a r m y and the navy to seek elsewhere for the same number of men thus deferred. T h e quantitative needs of the military forces are known and imp e r a t i v e ; and any given quantity of deferments will ultimately have to be made up by the depletion of some other occupation. T h u s it becomes t h e employer's duty to consider these aspects of deferment, in seeking t h a t solution of his own problem which best comports with the national interest. T h e keynote of purpose for nil of ns ought to he. and T am sure will he, t h a t wise and profoundly significant p h r a s e in the act of congress u n d e r which we operate. **the maintenance of t h e military establishment or the effective operation of the military force* or the maintenance of national interest during t h e emergency. s .. , Would Return I t It w s * s very hot d a y and the kindhearted icemin had jrlven a little irirl a piece of Ice.

WOMAN GREAT HELP IN LIBERTY LOAN WORK Has Become Integral Part in Sharing Obligation of Financing the W a r . By MISS GRACE D I X O N , ^ ^ ^ Federal Reserve Director for Women in Seventh District. One of the great truths we have learned in this war is the need of men and women working together understandlngiy and sympathetically—animated by the same spirit of helpfulness, of fearlessness, of enthusiasm. facing definitely one goal with equal honor, equal power. For men and women working together with unanimity of purpose make the ideal service for the Ration. Taking Lincoln's great words '**Ve all need to work together to the end" that loyalty of the people by the people shall not perish from the earth. To write of the activities of the women's work in the Seventh district Is a pleasure, as we have become such an integral part in sharing the obligation of financing the war. T h a t the work of the women and men might he more effectively co-ordinated in the district, the director for women has been made a member of the campaign committee as well as of the executive Committee of the federal reserve banking committee. The state chairmen, county chairmen and city chairmen have been made members of the executive committees of the men's organization In their respective'states, counties and cities. The definite activities for women shall be : 1. All women's organizations that a r e listed strictly under women, such as clubs, fraternal societies, lodges, leagues, guilds, e t c : 2. All elementary and high schools, private and parochial schools. 3. All booths, such as street, hotel, restaurant and cafeteria, department store and theater booths. 4. Women shall co-operate with the men's committee In churches, universities, ward organizations and any other committees where they can be of service. It was also recommended t h a t no separate reports of the amount of subscriptions taken be given by women, hut t h a t on account of the volunteer subscription and allotment plans, credit be given equally to both men and women it Is advisable for women county chairmen to have a distinct and complete understanding with the county chairmen of the men's organization of this fact, so t h a t no misunderstanding will arise on this subject dnrin* the campaign. Where regular campaigns for soliciting subscriptions are made by both men and women, a separate record m u s t of coarse, be kept and reported. Dr. Anna Shaw's admonition to t h e women of America "That every woman should tie her child to the United States government by a little bond" is the -slogan that Is the Insnlratlon of our worker*. Through otir various churches, schools, clubs, we hope to reach every home In thN country—for we realise that If we can touch am) kindle the patriotic mlor of women and bring women of diversified experiences and s t a n d a r d s of living to a real 1 r a t i op of their responsibilities, t h a t upon the penyJe who remain at home rests t h e obligation of financing this war, then indeed a r e we fulfilling our mission a s we should.

WE'RE ON THE TEAM; WE'RE IN THE GAME; WE'RE OUT TO WIN By A. A L O N Z O STAGG, Famous A t h l e t ic Coach University of -•-*» i • • Chicago. 1 said to a friend recently that I had not felt so poor In 34 years, or since I was a freshman at. Yale working my way through. "Well, don't you think we ought all of us to feel poor these days?" was the reply. That" is just the point. We ought. If we don't fee! on the strain most of the time these days I doubt whether we are doing our full duty in helping win the war. My observation is that we never Accomplish much in this life without being dead in earnest, without hard work and without self-sacrifice, and I' can't figure out how we can win this war without all of us co-operating most generously along these lines. First of all, unless we feel dead in earnest about our winning the war there is something wrong with us and it were better that n mil! stone were hanged about our neck and we were drowned in the depth of the sea. No one will work hard and make personal sacrifices unless his heart is in the enterprise. The beautiful part of this affair is that we can all be in it—we are all on the big team with a chance to play the game to our limit. At present we must play the particular position which is assigned to us, and play it for all that Is in us whether we like our ,1ob or not. The main thing and the loyal and the patriotic thing is that we give to our utmost of time and energy and money. Putting the fourth Liberty Loan across means that each one of us must give that uttermost of time and energy and money. We're on the team, we're in t h e game, we're out to win. " Now l e f s get down under It and root an^ lift and boost until we cross the goal line. THE FARM AND THE WAR jj - i By L. H.

When the fellows took the mirrors down to wash them the land lady made a kick, she said at was the first time they had been down m onehundred years.

Officials of the food administration explain that the major portion of the increased cost of living Is due not to food, but to rent, clothing, transportation and other items, and especially due to the advanced standard of living. The food administration's compilations are based solely on the statistical basis of the nation's expenditures for food at wholesale. The labor department's figures are baaed on investigation of familyl budgets in various cities. What the increased cost of living amounts to, inclusive of all the Items of the average family budget of a working man, was stated recently by the bureau of labor statistics on investigations in various Pacific coast cities. Compared with costs six months previously, the cost of all essential living expenses had increased in Seattle 18.16 per cent, in Tacoma 20.37 per cent, in Portland 15.93 per cent, in San Francisco 10.86 per cent, in Los Angeles 11.80 per cent. The item of clothing, taken separately, increased for the same-period in the same districts, respectively, 25.82 per cent, 30.92 per cent, 27.68 per cent. The increase since then, of course, has been enormous. The food administration in its report, admits there has been more than a 35 per cent increase in prices paid farmers, but contends that this is reduced In actual household purchasing by a reduction of speculation and profiteering and narrowed margins between farmers and wholesale prices under food regulations; that is, that the food administration has been able to make a 35 per cent increase to the farmers only a three and a half per cent increase to the consumers. 1,750,000 YANKS IN FRANCE General March Calls News Continuously Good From Battle Fronts. a year.

I asked the doctor if we had taken the trench. "We took the trench and the wood beyond, all right," he said, "and you fellows did your bit; but, my lad, that was thirtysix hours ago. You were lying In No Man's Land In that bally hole for a day and a half. It's a wonder you are alive." He also told me that out of the twenty that were In the raiding party, seventeen were killed. The officer died of wounds in crawling back to our trench and I was severely wounded, but one fellow returned without a scratch, without any prisoners. No doubt this chap was the one who had sneezed and Improperly cut the barbed wire. In the official communique our trench raid was described as follows: "All quiet on the western front, excepting in the neighborhood of Gommecourt wood, where one of our raiding parties penetrated into the German lines." It Is needless to say that we had no use for our persuaders or come-alongs, as we brought back no prisoners, and until I die Old Pepper's words, "Personally I don't believe that that part of the German trench Is occupied," will always come to me when I hear some fellow trying to get away with a fishy statement. I will judge it accordingly. C H A P T E R X X V M . Blighty. From this first-aid post, after Inoculating me with antitetanus serum to prevent lockjaw, I was put into an ambulance and sent to a temporary hospital behind the lines. To reach this hospital we had to go along a road about five miles in length. This road wag under shell fire, for now and then a flare would light up the sky—a tremendous explosion—and then the road seemed to tremble. We did not mind, though no doubt some of us wished that a shell would hit us and end our misery. Personally, I was not particular. It was nothing but bump, jolt rattle, and bang. Several times the driver would turn around and give us a "Cheero, mates, well soon be there—" fine fellows, those ambulance drivers, a lot of them go West, too. We gradually drew out of the fire zone and pulled up in front of fin immense dugout Stretcher-bearers carried me down a number of steps and placed me on a white table in a brightly lighted room. A sergeant of the Royal Army Medical corps removed my bandages and cut off my tunic Then the doctor, with his sleeves rolled up, took charge. He winked at me and I winked back, and then he asked, "How do you feel, smashed up a b i t f I answered: *Tm all right, but Td give a quid for a drink of Bass." He nodded to the sergeant, who disappeared, and HI be darned if he didn't return with a glass of ale. I could only open my mouth about t quarter of an Inch, but I got away with every drop of that ale. It tasted just like Blighty,- and that is heaven to Tommy. The doctor said something to an orderly, the only word I could catch was ''chloroform," then they put some kind of an arrangement over my none and month and It was me for dreamland. When I opened my eyes I was lying on a stretcher, in a low wooden building. Everywhere I looked -1 saw rows of Tommies en stretchers, some dead to the world, and the n e t with fags in their months. The main topic of their oonversatSon was Blighty. Nearly an had a grin on their faces, except these who dtdat nave enough face left It grin with. I grinned with my right eye, the other was bandaged. Stretcher-bearers came In and began to carry the Tommies outside. You^ could hear the chug of the engines In the waiting ambulances. I was put Into an ambulance with three others and away we went for an eighteen-mile ride. I was on a bottom stretcher. The lad right across from me was smashed up something horrible. Right above me was a man from the Koyal Irish rifles, while across from him was a Scotchman. We had gone about three miles when I heard the death-rattle in the throat of the man opposite. He had gone to rest across the Great Divide. I think at the time 1 envied him. The man of the Royal Irish rifles had had his left foot blown off, the Jolting of the ambulance over the rough road had loosened up the bandages on his foot, and had started it bleeding again. This blood ran down the side of the stretcher and started dripping. I was lying on my back, too weak to move, and the dripping of this blood got me in my unbandaged right eye. I closed my eye and pretty soon could not open the lid; the blood had congealed and closed it, as If it were glued down. An English girl dressed In khaki was driving the ambulance, while beside her on the seat was a corporal of the R. A. M. C, They kept up a running conversation about Blighty which almost wrecked my nerves; pretty soon from the stretcher above me, the Irishman became aware of the fact that the bandage from his foot had become loose; It must have pained him horribly, because he yelled in a loud voice: "If you don't stop this bloody death wagon and fix this d bandage on ray foot, I will get out and walk." The girl on the seat turned around and In a sympathetic voice asked, "Poor fellow, are you very badly wounded?" The Irishman, at this question, let out a howl of Indignation and answered, "Am I very badly wounded, what bloody cheek; no, I'm not wounded, I've only been kicked by a canary bird." The ambulance Immediately stopped, and the corporal came to the rear and fixed him up, and also washed out my right eye. I was too weak to thank him, but It was a great relief. Then I must have become unconscious, because when I regained my senses, the ambulance was at a standstill, and my stretcher was being removed from It It was night, lanterns were flashing here and there, and I could see stretcher- beaners hurrying to and fro. Then I was carried into a hospital train. The inside of this train looked like heaven to me, just pure white, and we met our first Red Cross nurses; we thought they were angels. And they were. Nice little soft bunks and clean, white sheets. A Red Cross nurse sat beside me during the whole ride which lasted three hours. She was holding my wrist; I thought I had made a hit, and tried to tell her how I got wounded, but she would put her finger to her lips and say, "Tea,! know, but you mustn't talk now, try to go to sleep. It'll do you good, doctor's orders." Later on I learned that she was taking my pulse every few minutes, as I was very weak from the loss of blood and they expected me to snuff It, but I didn't "From the train we went into ambulances for a short ride to the hospital ship Panama. Another palace and more angels. I don't remember the trip across the channel. I opened my eyes; I was being carried on a stretcher through lanes of people, some cheering, some waving nags, and others crying. The nags were Union Jacks, I was in Southampton. Blighty at last. My stretcher was strewn with flowers, cigarettes, and chocolates. Tears started to ran down my cheek from my good eye. I like a. booby was crying. Can you beat It V - Then into another1 hospital train, a five-hour ride to Paignton, another ambulance ride, and then I was carried Into ¥unney ward of the American Women's War hospital and pat into a real bed. This real bed was too much for my unstrung nerves and I faiatad, When I came to, a nrettv Bed nurse was bending over rae. bathing my forehead with cold water, then she left and the ward orderly placed a screen around my bed, and gave me a much-needed bath and dean \>u Junius. Then the screen was removed and a bowl of steaming aoup waa given me. It tasted delicious. Before finishing my soup the nurse came buck to ask me my name and number. She put this Information down in a little book and then asked : "Where do you come from?" I answered : "From the big town behind the Statue of Liberty;" upon hearing this she started jumping up uud down, clapping her hands, and calling out to three nursea across the ward : "Come here, girls—at last we have got a real live Yankee with us." They came over and besieged me with questions, until the doctor arrived. Upon learning that 1 waa an American he almost crushed my hand In his grip of welcome. They also were Americans, and were glud to see me. The doctor very tenderly removed my bandages and told me, after viewing my wounds, that he would have to take me to the operating theater immediately. Personally I didn't care what was done with me. In a few minutes, four orderlies who looked like undertakers dressed in white, brought a stretcher to my bed and placing me on It carried me out of the ward, across a courtyard to the operr 'ng room or "pictures," as Tommy calls It I don't remember having the anesthestic applied. When I came to I was again lying In a bed in Munsey ward. One of the nurses had draped a large American flag over the bead of the bed, and clasped in my hand was a smaller flag, and It made me feel good all oyer to again see the "Stars and Stripes." At that time I wondered when the boys In the trenches would see the emblem of the "land of the free and the home of the brave" beside them, doing its bit in this great war of civilization. My wounds were very painful, and several times at night I would dream that myriads of khaki-clothed figures would pass my bed and each would stop, bend over me, and whisper, "The best of luck, mate." Soaked with perspiration I would awake with a cry, and the night nurse would come over and hold my hand. This awakening got to be a habit with me until that particular nurse was transferred to another ward. In three weeks' time, owing to the careful treatment received, I was able to sit up and get my bearings. Our ward contained seventy-five patients, 90 per cent of which were surgical cases. At the hend of each bed hung a temperature chart and diagnosis sheet. Across this sheet would be written "O. S. W." or "S. W„" the former meaning gun shot wound and the latter shell wound. The "S. W." predominated, especially among the Royal Field artillery and Royal engineers. About forty different regiments were represented, and many arguments ensued as to the respective fighting ability of each regiment. The rivalry was wonderful. A Jock arguing with an Irishman, then a strong Cockney accent would butt in In favor of a Lon STORY OF A FAMOUS STATUE Bronze Piece, W o r k of Leopardl, Cause of Quarrel Resulting in lb? Being Badly Disfigured. don regiment. Before long a WeUh* man, followed by a member of a Yorkshire regiment, and, perhaps, a Canadian intrude themselves and the argument waxes loud and furious. Th« patients in the beds start howling for them to settle their dispute outsldt and the ward Is in un uproar. The head sister comes along and with a wave of the hand completely routs th« doughty warriors and again silence reigns supreme. Wednesday und Sunday of each week were visiting days and were looked forward to by the men, because the5 meant parcels containing fruit, sweets or fags. When a patient hud a regulai visitor, he was generally kept well supplied with these delicacies. Greal jealousy is shown anions the men a* to their visitors and many word wur* ensue after thu visitors leave. When a man is sent to a convalescent home, he generally turns over hit steady visitor to the man in the next bed* Most visitors have autograph albums and bore Tommy to death by asking him to write the particulars of hit wounding in same. Several Tommlei try to duck this unpleasant job by telling the visitors that they cannot write, but this never phases the owner of th« album; he or she, generally she, offer! to write tt for Ihem and Tommy li stung Into telling his experiences. The questions osked Tommy by visitors would make a clever Joke bool to a military man.

VELOCITY OF BIG SHELLS Geometer Uses Problem of How Lonf T i m e Is Required for Stone to Fall to Center of E a r t h . Another statue that has been conveyed by sea and landed safely in Rome Is the great equestrian one of the famous General Coll eon I, which stood on Its lofty pedestal in the Campo of SS. Giovanni e Paolo. Ruskln says of It: **I do not believe there Is a more glorious work of sculpture existing In the world." This statue is, of course, of bronze, and was modeled by the Florentine sculptor and painter Andrea Verrocchio in 1481. assisted by his more famous pupil, Leonardo da VInci. Rev. Alexander Robertson writes In the Christian Herald, After Verrocchlo's death. It was cast In bronze by Leopardl. There Is a story told to the effect that when Leopardl had finished his work, he quarreled with the republic over It As he could not come to a settlement, he knocked off the horse's head and escaped to Florence. The republic ordered him to return, but he refused, saying: T hsve knocked off the horse's head, it is true, but I can put it on again: but If I come to Venice and you take off my head, you could not put It on again.* The republic forgave him, assured him of his life and reward, and he returned and finished his work. Studying the velocity of shells \\\d bnllets fired in the war led Maurlct Sauger, a French geometer, to turn to the old question of the time It would take a stone to fall to the centei of the earth. His conclusion was thai it would take about 20 minutes 34 seconds. Gassenddi, who gave the subject much thought in the Inst century, mnd« the time 20 minutes even. Mersenn* on the other hand contended that sli hours \yrmld be required. Sauger says that as the stone approached the center of the earth it would be drawn downward by the cor« of the earth and upward by the shell which it had already penetrated. . Th€ rate at which the density of the earth varies or increases as we penetrate to greater depths is unknown. Sauger't formula is based upon considerations of the moment of inertia of the earth, as calculated from the precession of the equinoxes, which agree with ob» servatlons on the density of the earth conducted in mine shafts. If a shaft were driven right through the earth the stone would appear at th« Antipodes after 38 minutes 30 second! and then return to Its starting point, at which it would make its reappearance at the end of 1 hour 17 minutes. The Feminine Ending. There is quite a campaign afoot against the use of the feminine termination "ess" in words which are purely English, and It is to be hoped that It will succeed In putting an end to such a concoction as "conductress," which Is endeavoring to creep in, in spite of the very cold shoulder given of late to "authoress" and "poetess." It Is ugly for one thing, and for another, It Is bad English. "Ess" should be added only to a word which is a direct importation from the French language. For Instance, there is no objection to "abbess" or "duchess;" those words are correct, and have long been sanctioned. It might be said that sanction for ,4poetess" Is to be found In such a master of English as Dryden, for he speaks of Mrs. Anne Killlgrew as a poetess. The best reply to this Is that, for once, Dryden was wrong, both In his estimate of the lady's literary powers, and In the form of the word which he used to express that estimate.—Chrlstlai Science Monitor.

TREACHERY OF THE BOLSHEVIK CHIEFS BARED TO WORLD A M E R I C A N G O V E R N M E N T S H O W S L E N I N E A N D T R O T Z K Y A R E H U N S ' P A I D T O O L S . t h e i r Betrayal of Russia f o r German Gold Is Proved Absolutely by Scries of Documents. Washington.That Nlcolui Lenine ami Leon Trotzky, chiefs of the bolnhevlki, oetrayed Kusslu deliberately for Geruu.n gold Is proved by u series of official documents which the United States government, through the committee on public Information, has laid before the world. Secured in Russia by Edgar G. Sisson, representing the committee (who was in that country during last winter, 1917-18) these documents not only show how the German government through Its Imperial bank paid Its gold to Lenine, Trotzky, and their immediate associates to betray Russia Into deserting her allies, but give added proofs that Germany had perfected her plans for a war of world conquest long before the assassinations at Sarajevo, which conveniently furnished her pretext. Hun Plots Against America. These documents further show that before the world war was four months old, and more than two years before the United States was drawn into it (in 1914), Germany already was setting afoot her plans to "mobilize destructive agents and observers" to cause explosions, strikes, and outrages in this country, and planned the employment of "anarchists and escaped criminals" for the purpose. Almost ranking In their sensational nature with the notorious Zimmerman note proposing war by Mexico and Japan upon the United States, these documents lay bure new strata of Prussian intrigue, a new view of the workings of kultur to disrupt the allies standing between the world and kaiserism. They disclose also a new story of human treachery for gold. The intrigue appears to have been carried down to the last detail of arrangement with typical German system. Revolution Staged by Berlin. Not only do the disclosures prove that Lenine, Trotzky, nnd their bund are paid German agents. They show that the bolshevik revolution, which threw Russia into such orgy of murder and excesses as the world seldom has seen, actually was arranged by the , German general staff. They show how the paid agenta of Germany betrayed Russia at the Brest- Litovsk "peace" conference; how German staff officers have been secretly received by the bolshevik! as military advisers; how they have acted as sides upon the embassies of the nations with which Russia was allied or at peace; how they have directed the bolshevik foreign, domestic and economic policy wholly In the Interest of Germany, and to the shame and degradation of Russia. Originals of documents, photographs of originals, and typewritten circulars, some of them marked "very secret" or "private," and many of them bearing the annotations of the bolshevik lenders themselves; some of them containing references to "Comrade Trotzky" or "Comrade Lenine" comprise the record. Some of the originals, it is shown, although deposited In the archives of the bolshcvlkl, were required to be returned later to representatives of the German general staff In Petrograd that they might be destroyed.

SnfJEyt frss writs %M By* Poi.ltry Club Boys Building a Poultry Hout COMFORT IN HEN HOUSE REQUIRED Prepare in Early Fall for Cold, Disagreeable Weather When Fowls Are Indoors. ESSENTIAL FOR WINTER EGGS Fresh Air, Dryness, Sunlight, and Space Enough to Keep Chickens Contented Are of Importance— Make Roof Watertight. During the summer the poultryhouse question has not given the poultry keeper much concern. The chickens have had the freedom of outdoor life most of the time and just so they had a clean, uiry place, free from vermin, and covered with a pood roof to keep out rain, was about all that was necessary. Biy as winter approaches and weather conditions are such that the fowls must be confined more, it Is essential that their indoor quarters be made as comfortable as possible. This Is one of the requisites of winter egg production. The prime essentials in poultry houses, according to the United States department of agriculture, are fresh air, dryness, sunlight and space enough to keep the birds comfortable. The particular style of house is not important, for a house that gives satisfaction In the North will also give good results In the South, but it is prefer* able to have more open and consequently less expensive houses in the South than In the North. The location should have good water and air drainage so that the floor and yards will be dry, while the house should not occupy a low pocket or hollow In which cold air settles. When It is possible, a southern or southeastern exposure should be selected, although this is not essential If there is any good reason for facing the house In a different direction. Importance of Roof, The roof is the most expensive but a roost Important part of the poultry house, and should be water-tight. or some kind of absorbent material, which tends to keep such houses dry and warm. The A-shaped roof is used for growing coops and colony houses which, with a wall 18 inches high, provides a large amount of floor space with a minimum amount of lumber, but Increases the roof surface, which Is the most expensive part of the house. A large amount of glasg in the front of the house makes it warm during the day and cold at night, as glass radiates heat very rapidly. Unbleached muslin, or a light weight or duck cloth, Is used for curtains In the front of poultry houses. This cloth should be thin enough To allow a slow circulation of air without a draft, which object Is defeated by using too heavy a grade of duck or by olliijg or painting the cloth. The front of the house should be high enough so that the windows or openings will allow the sun to shine well back during the winter. Good Floor Important. The best kind of a floor depends upon the soil and the use of the house. On light, sandy, well-drained soils a dirt floor Is satisfactory, especially for small or colony henhouses. Such floors should be from two to six Inches higher than the outside ground surface, and It Is advisable to renew them each year by removing the contaminated surface down to clean soil, and to refill with fresh sand or fine gravel and earth. A board floor Is generally used, where the level of the floor in the house Is from one to three feet above the gr*ound surface and In portable houses on land which Is not well drained. Board floors harbor rats and rot quickly, and should be raised some distance off the ground so that cats or dogs can get under them, which also allows a free circulation of air to prevent the wood from rotting. Cement floors are adapted to long permanent buildings, brooder houses, Incubator cellars, and to all permanent houses where an artificial floor Is required and can be built on the ground level. These floors are easy to clean, very sanitary, rat proof, and comparatively Inexpensive, if one has a supply of gravel or sharp sand. The Interior fixtures of the pens should be simple, portable, and Inexpensive. Roosts are usually placed next to the end or back walls, six to ten Inches above the dropping boards, while the latter are from two to two and one-half feet above the ground. They should all be on the same level. Shingle roofs should have a one-third otherwise the birds will crowd and pitch, while those covered with paper or metal may have a less pitch, or be almost flat; however, the greater the slope the longer the life of the roof. The shed or single-slope roof la adapted to houses up to 16 feet In width. It is one of the easiest styles to construct. It allows a high front to this house, and furnishes a northern slope for the roof on which roofing pnper will last longer than on a roof which faces the south. The combination and semlmonltor roofs are adapted for buildings from 16 to 24 feet wide, while either of these styles, or the monitor and the gable roof, may be used for wider buildings. The combinfitlon roof on a house over 16 feet wide gives the best head room at the least cost, reduces the amount of surplus air space, and gives a neat appearance to the buildings; while the semlmonltor^ and monitor types are best for wide houses which have a central alley, particularly brooder house*. The semlmonltor house usually faces south, while the monitor type4 of roof Is frequently used on buildings facing estst or w e s t The gable roof la used extensively for two-story buildings, for brooder houses, and for incubator eel* •era. This style of roof Is usually celled at or slightly above tht eaves, of the gable may be filled with straw fight to get on the highest roost. Scantling two by three Inches or two by four inches, with the upper edges rounded off, makes good roosts with either the wide or narrow surface up. Allow seven to ten Inches of roost space per fowl, according to the size of the bird. Roosts shonld be placed about 15 Inches apart, but the outside ones may be within ten inches of the edge of the dropping hoards. Nests may be plnced under the dropp'ng boards, on the partition walls, or In any convenient place where they do not take up floor space, and should be arranged so that the birds can get Into them easily. They should he 12 to 14 inches square and 12 to 18 Inches high, with a strip about four Inches high on the open side to retain the nesting material. Provide one nest for every four or five nens. Trap nests are essential In any careful breeding work, such as pedigree breeding, or the breeding of exhibition poultry. The big advantage of an Infertile egg Is that it will not deteriorate under high temperatures as will an that Is fertile.

The huntsmen were about to turn back when oue of their number happened to cast his eyes up in the tree, and there on one of the linihs sat the wily fox. Recovering from their amazement, straws were drawn to determine who should climb the tree. It fell to the lot of William Speakinan. Being an expert climber, Speakman was soon out on the branches, and giving the limb a vigorous shake, Reynard tumbled off. Although he fell a distance of 30 feet he was not injured in the least.

Dear Mr. Smith:— Mother and I have been spending our summer here on the Range. Your paper reaches UB each week and keeps us in touch with the affairs at Pinckney. Hibbing is the richest "village" in the world also one of the largest. The largest iron mine in the world is only a half mile away. I went underground with one of the mining engineers. We were down to a 300 foot level. It certainly waa some experience, for they were just sending off the night charges. I was in an adjoining tunnel at the time and the dynamite explosions were BO great that the dirt and rock started falling thru the heavy timber above us. It is great to see these mines when one atope to think that some of their contents will be hurled at the Germans. Game is very plentiful in this part of the country, especially about 40 miles from here at Grand Rapids, Minn. This town is located on the headwaters of the Mississippi River. It was here where I was awakened by the mournful howling of wolves. Deer are quite plentiful also. It has been growing all the afternoon. The forest was just white with snow as I came thru on the car from Virginia, Minn. We are leaving here to spend one week at Duluth, Minn, and then wiU return to Ann Arbor for the opening of college. When I am in Pinckney I will call at your office. Yours truly, John T. Lynch. . Fowlerville FAIR A£ain we come to tell you the dates ape Oct. 1,2,3, and 4,1918.

Lyon The South Lyon Herald of Sept. 13 says: "Pinckney'a electric service is notoriously bad, but one unfortunant user has found a substitute. He hitches his flivver in front of a window and points the headlights into the house, then starts the motor with the lights on." A former resident of Pinckney who now lives in South Lyons, in a letter to a Pinckney resident, dated Aug. 14, 1918 says: "About the Electric Light service here will say it is a hard matter to compare such service as we get with what is furnished you people, as the Detroit Edison Co. furnishes us 54 hour .service from its^ plants at Dearborn and Geddes. Our minimum rate is 50 cents with 10 per cent discount if paid on or before t h e 15th of the m->nth,£ making it 45 cents.

If the war is not won next year several years may be required and a dreadful sacrifice of American soldiers will be called for. The opinion is frankly expressed at Washington that failure to win the war dlring the campoign ofl919 will cost not less than one million of American soldiers, above the tens of thousands we mu9t inevitably lose in the next year's fighting. "There is no doubt about the part our soldiers are going to play. The papers are filled with their magnificent successe i. If the people at home are to do their part, however, and give the soldiers a fair chance to win in 1919, they must strip to the bone, consider the war as their most important business individually, and be guided in every action by the influence of such action upon the winning of the war. "We must tafcte of real sacrifice and the quicker we reach that point the greater the number of lives of our soldiers will be preserved. "The task of the American people in the matter of foodstuffs is gigantic and were it not for the magnificent accomplishment of our people already we would not dare hope to attain what is expected of us. What we reed, and what we must have is greater production and greater economy in the use of food stuffs. In fact we get right down to the point where we must follow the Food Administration's motto of "waste nothing," while the producer must add to this, "produce more." Not only in foodstuffs must the American people economize. It is expected that we will have between 3,400,000 and 4,500,000 men in France early next summer, with a million or more under arms in this country. At the same time we must greatly increase tne number of workmen in shipyards, munition plants and other war industries. All of this means that there is to be an unprecedented drain upon the lsbor of the country. Non-essential industries mvst go. Women must take the place of men in some industries that are essential. In France 95 per cent of the agricultural work is being done bv women and children and the other 5 per cen by old men and wounded men. We 'shall not approach any such condition as this but patriotic women must voluntecrfor such positions as they can fill and men must be relieved wherever possible for the harder manual labor required in agriculture and the essential industries. "The 'Work or Fight' order of General Crowder applied to the new draft is going to woik wonders, but in this country we must depend upon voluntary patriotic effort and ^co-operation by every individual msn, women and children."

' REIMS CHILDREN PLAY W A R GAMES Emerge From Cellars, When Bombardment Ceases, to Frolic in Sun. All H M THE SAME SPIRIT Wo One Ever Saw One of the Children Down-Hearted or Discontented— Will Be Great Help in Rebuilding France. Tarts.—Only a few months Ago Reims still sheltered some 600 children, although the Germans almost dally bombarded the town. How these children lived In the cellars and the special shelters while the Germans fiercely bombarded the town Is a pathetic story. Though these cellars and shelters were dark, dreary and damp, where the sun's rays never once showed themselves, no one ever saw these children downhearted or discontented. Whenever the bombardment let up, even for a few minutes, these children swarmed out of the cold cellars to play in the sua. Duty and Resignation. A correspondent during one of these lulls walked down a narrow street bordered by the wails of houses of the sixteenth century, or such parts o- them as had survived the German bombardments. He met a youngster standing in the middle of the street gazing at one of the wrecked houses. Asked why he was gazing at that house, the boy answered: "That house over yonder, monsieur? I was born in that house. When war broke out father was mobilized and mother went to live with an aunt In one of the houses on the outskirts of the city. Once a week I come here to look at my old home, or what Is left of It." "But aren't you afraldT* "Afraid of what? My father is at the front, my mother Is still here, and as long as she stays here, I will." This "hllu li a type of all. All have the same spirit of duty and resignation, these children of "the Martyr City." They tell how they received Instructions to put on the masks against the ftoittoaou* gas; of how they playeii In shell holes filled with rainwater; of ^ow they used walls which had escapeWthe German shells to play their game of war. Play at War Games. Neiring the cathedral, almost completely gutted by the bombardment, the correspondent met a crowd of boys playing at their favorite game. He watched them for some time. Afte.- playing in quickly constructed trendies in one of the courtyards of a destroyed house, where they had ingeniously placed their toy machine guns, the attacking party was Just jumping out of their shelter when the gas alarm was sounded. All the boy* quickly donued their masks ujad con tinued playing, rather stimulated by the unforeseen reality of their game. So interested were they that they never thought of finding shelter, but bad to be ordered to do so by patrolling soldiers. But these things could not go on. The youngsters had too much free time, as all the schools were closed and days were wpent in holiday-making. The municipality established schools In the huge cellars of the big champagne houses of Reims. Every day the teacher had to go through the deserted streets u <1er heavy bombardment, and very often the school children bad to be kept In after hours when the town was being shelled. These children, having grown up unde." these conditions, will be a splendid help to France in rebuilding a nation of valiant citizens. BACK W I T H HER BOYS * - Joyful Welcome Given Mrs. Haring at the Front WOMEN AS FORESTERS "Godmother of the Polish Army" Greeted With Cheers by Officers and Men. Paris,—A woman alighted from the train at what remains of a little railroad station very close to the front. Her hair was a trifle gray but her cheeks were pink, aad she seemed to be very happy to be arriving in that place. Very soon the reason became apparent. A military policeman was on duty In the station. He stared and gave a shout, "Mrs. Harlng." "I got here at last" she said as she shook hands—a handshake such as Is exchanged between friends long separated. "You're going to be with us?" "As long as they let me." Mrs. Harlng went out and up the street, searching for the daily shifting headquarters of the Y. M. C. A.— for the war was moving with great rapidity since the new offensive began. An automobile containing a captain and three lieutenants stopped with a screaming of the brakes. Young men boiled out of the car to surround Mrs. Harlng as if she were the belle of the season. Another car stopped. More offl- WOUNDED YANKS IN A LONDON HOSPITAL These American soldiers are convalescing from wounds in a London hospital.

These women are showing themselves to be worthy successors of Britain's lumbermen. The felled trees in the back are a proof of that. cers. Around the edge privates lined up waiting their chance. From that moment hers was a triumphal progress up the street. It seemed as If the whole American army wanted to follow her. It was a happy party, a laughing, handshaking, congratulating party that surrounded the little Y. M. C. A. woman. She was back, back with the troops she had served and left for a time. They were doing their best to show hrr how glad they were to see her and were succeeding wonderfully. The record of Mrs. Augusta Harlng of New York city Is enviable. She Is a musician. It was she who, with MJss Myrtle Sanson of Greenfield, 0., organized the Y. M. C. A. work In the new Polish army, most of which was recruited In the United States. For four months she worked among these men—this array which will be without a country until the war la over and victory comes to the allies. Her proudest moment was when the commander of the Poles, In a public manner, bestowed on her the title of Godmother of the Polish Army. Beech Logs Resisted Decay. Beech logs that formed six hundred years ago the foundation of Winchester (Eng.) cathedral, have Just been uncovered. They were found to be In a sound condition after they had been exposed to water for almost six centuries.

D'ANNUNZIO GETS EVEN By WARD PRICE. ItaHao Headquarters at the Front —MaJ. Oabrlele d'Annunzio, Italy's poet-airman, who led the raid on Vienna, has carried out an adventurous personal reprisal for an Austrian night air raid during which one of the enemy machines dropped a bomb literally within yards of his sleeping quarters. The bomb did not explode, but its impact knocked over and broke a glass from which d'Annunzio had drunk an hour before. The soldier-poet gayly started off in the afternoon with his pilot In a new type of a fast, weight-carrying land machine, flew about one hundred miles straight across the Adriatic sea to Pola, the Austrian naval base, dropped 14 bombs on the arsenal and returned safely to his aerodrome. I was waiting there when he arrived amid a round of cheers from his* squadron. "There was a heavy barrage firs," he told us, "and once I thought our trail had been struck. But not a single one of the Austrian chaser machines got up after us. The Austrian! were very keen to get me, but they missed a good chance this afternoon.* D'Annunzio will wear henceforth in his flights an Ivory-hllted dagger. This weapon is the distinctive mark of the Italian storm troops, and all the eight airmen who -took part to the raid on Vienna have been named by their comrades T h e " Storm Troops of the Air."

"Oh, but we're an Interesting lot said Mr. Giant Swallowtail. "What do yo J mean by a lot an what do you raea by Interesting? asked Miss Glan Swallowtail. "You p o o young thing, yo don't know th world very well do you? Hot long have you beet a butterflyT "Only three mln utes, your honor,1 -How Beautifully «»W M l S 8 G l u n You Speak 1" Swallowtail. Now the younj butterfly didn't know at all whethe; the older butterfly was the one to b< called "your honor," or whether any one should be called by such a title But it came to her mind quite sud denly and she thought it sounded wrj well. She knew after she had sale It that Mr. Giant Swallowtail wai highly pleased and flattered. "Then, of course, you're not expect ed to know much, and you haverft hat time to think yet of all the interesting changes you've had in your life. In teresting is something nice, some thing folks like to hear about or see We're interesting, and V\\ talk ovei with you all the changes we have made to become giant swallowtail but terflles. "Of course we weren't born giant swal lowtalls, that is we weren't butterflies but It shows how fine butterflies are. "We aren't satisfied at being caterpillars and at crawling along the trees; we want to fly and sip honey from the flowers, to enjoy the sunshine and to be admired. We like to be part of the beautiful, beautiful summertime." "How beautifully you Rpeak." said Miss Giant Swallowtail admiring^ "Thank you, thank you," said Mr. Giant Swallowtail, as he shook his wings a little. "And it's fine to be oallod by such a large sounding name as 'Giant.' Giants, you know, are bigger than people. "Then to have another fine name like Swallowtail. A swallowtail Is a certain kind of coat which big men wear when they're gotng to fine dinners and big receptions. It's the very hest coat a fine gentleman can have, the very best or all—and that's another part of our name. Pretty nice, eh?" "Indeed, it's very nice," said Miss Giant Swallowtail. "But I must tell you the change? we make in order to become butterflies. You've been one such r. short time you haven't stopped to think nbout them, but you'll remember them all one by one. "We come from tiny eggs," said Mr. Giant Swallowtail, and are left on or«# ange leaves or other fruit leaves.

Sraith-Dorrien, who Is to take the Gibraltar command, is that which he used to tell against himself of an Incident during the South African war. An orderly arrived at his quarters one day with Important dispatches^ which he deliered with a verbal message—this in \anguage that was rather unconventional, Judged by his rankl Sraith-Dorrien read the dispatches and dismissed the man with a reply that he would be ready to move in two hours. "And," he added, "say 'please' the next time you speak to me." The orderly delivered Sraith-Dorrien's reply to Kitchener. "What did he say?" he was asked.. **He said he would be ready to move in. two hours," the soldier answered, "and you would kindly, say 'please' th/ next time you speak to him."

Poultry H o u s e s Should Be Kept Clean and Well Sprayed With Good Disinfectants. PARASITES FOES TO WINTER EGGS Hens Annoyed by Lice and Mites or Weakened by Disease Are Unprofitable. CLEANLINESS IS FIRST AID Prevention Is Easier, Cheaper and More Reliable Than Cure—Use of Freshly Slaked Lime in the House Recommended. Before the flock goes into winter quarters every measure should be taken by the poultry keeper to Insure the health of the birds, according to the United States department of agriculture. Only healthy fowls^can be expected to produce eggs In winter. Well developed pullets and young hens should be kept for the winter laying flock, of course; but, no matter how well such birds are fed, If they are annoyed by lice and mites or weakened by disease, they will not be profltabre. Fowls are subject to a considerable number of diseases, some of which spread rapidly through the flock and cause a high mortality. They may also be Infested by various kinds of parasites, some of which live on the surface of the body and others In the crops, stomachT or intestines. These parasites are Injurious because they take a part of the nourishment which should be used by the bird to put on flesh or to produce eggs, and also because by their movements and their biting they cause irritation and inflammation of the parts which they attack. Germs and parasites which cause disease should be kept out of the flock by suitable preventive measures, because disease may be avoided much more easily and cheaply than it can be cured. The aim in studying the diseases of poultry is, therefore, to learn how to prevent such diseases rather than how to cure them. Cleanliness is the first and most important step In all measures for disease prevention. How to Prevent Disease. It is very important to start right and begin the flock with birds that are free from Illness and parasites, and to put such birds upon ground which Is likewise free from these causes of disease. If all the available ground has been recently used for poultry, tbe fowls should be removed from that part which la to be used for the new or winter flock, a good coating of freshly slaked lime should be applied to the entire surface of the ground, and a few days later it should be spaded or plowed. It may be cultivated three or four times with Intervals of a week and finally sowed with rye, or other grain. In a few months the greater part of the germs will be destroyed. Keep Premises Clean. In order to keep the flock in a healthy condition, tbe premises must be frequently-cleaned and occasionally disinfected. There are a number of reasons for tbjs. First, there are certain germs generally present in the Intestines even of healthy fowls that are scattered with the manure, and which, vino they are permitted to accumulate and become very numerous, may c a u s e outbreaks of d i s e a s e ; second, the perms of contagious diseases may be brought to the poultry yard by pigeons or other birds which fly from one poultry yard to another, or by mice or r a t s ; third, It is seldom that ground Is obtained for the poultry yard which is entirely free from Infection with the e g g s of parasitic worms and the spores of disease-producing microbes. To keep t h e s e germs and parasites from developing and Increasing their numbers to a dungerous extent the houses should be kept clean the drinking fountains and feed troughs should be washed every week with boiling water or other disinfectant, and, if any lice or mites are found on the birds or in their houses, the roosts and ad- Joining parts of the walls shouki be painted with a mixture of kerosene, one quart, and crude carbolic acid or crude cresol, one teacupful (one gill). Or the h o u s e may be w h i t e w a s h e d with freshly slaked lime or sprayed with kerosene emulsion. The fowls should be dusted with lice powder. Disinfectants and Their Use. Good disinfectants destroy the germs of contagious diseases, the external parasites, such as lice and mites, and in some cases the eggs of parasitic worms. The eggs of some kinds of worms are so resistant that disinfectants other than heat have little effect upon them. The disinfectants should be thoroughly applied to the interior of the houses, worked into all the cracks and crevices, spread over the celling and the floor, the roosts, dropping boards, and nest boxes. At the same time the feeding and drinking troughs should be disinfected by pouring boiling water Into them and afterwards drying them in the sun. Disinfectants are most easily applied to the walls and ceilings with a spray pump or by using a brush. As it is difficult to keep the chemicals from coming into contact with the face and hands, the more harmless of these mixtures should generally be used. Ordinary limewash made from freshly slaked lime is excellent, and its properties are well known to aH. In the case of an actual outbreak of virulent disease, it is well to add to the whitewash six ounces of crude carbolic acid to each gallon to increase its activity as a disinfectant. The kerosene emulsion, which Is frequently used to destroy mites, may readily be converted into a disinfectant. To make the emulsion, shatc half a pound of hard laundry soap Into half a gallon of soft water and boll the mixture until all the soap is dissolved, then remove it to a safe distance from the fire and stir into it, at once, while still hot, two gallons of kerosene oil. This makes a thick, creamy emulsion, or stock mixture. When it is to be used for killing mites In the houses, one quart of this emulsion is mixed with ten quarts of water. When It is to be used as a disinfectant, stir well, then add one pint crude carbolic add or crude cresol, and again stir until all is well mixed. The compound solution of cresol is one of the best disinfectants which may be purchased ready for use. It contains 50 per cent of cresol, and one pint of it added to ten quarts of water makes a solution of the proper strength to apply to the houses or to spray over the ground. A five per cent solution of carbolic add (one pint carbolic add to ten quarts of water) Is about equally efflcadous. The choice between the two is a matter «f coove* nlence.

Care in Skinning Cattle Urged. To relieve as much a s possible tbe unprecedented demand for leather the I'tuted S t a t e s department of agriculture is urging that slaughtered and dead a n i m a l s on the farm be skinned with great care. Usually the skinning of a n i m a l s mi the farm and the care of hides is not given a great amount of consideration, and through carelessness many hides are cut and scored when they are removed. By devoting a little extra time and care In skinning animals to make sure that they are not cut or scored the farmer can increase their value on the market several times. In tanning hides scores show very plainly and in many cases one-half of the thickness of the leather is lost by such defect.

"JACKIE" BANDS WILL TOUR STATE Sailor Musicians From Great Lakes Station to Assist in Fourth Loan Drive. WILL VISIT MANY ' CITIES Hon. D. J. Diekema of Holland and A. H. Vandenberg of Grand Rapids to Make Addresses in Connection With Concerts. Grand Rapids.—The 1,500 musicians of the (Jreut Lakes training station band are the Pied Pipers of the fourth Liberty Loan. They are playing the dollars out of The pockets of American patriots and into the pocket t- of Uncle Sam. In the third Liberty Loan the cities and towns visited by the sailor bandmen were In all cases the tirst to yet over the top for their quotas. Bond money fol- ?owed the Pied Pipers away in generous amounts. In the present campaign an effort is being made to give the public a chance to hear John Phillip Sousa's fhtisiusu) of its members. Thej or* all boys. Many of the men are bnl> eighteen years old and the avirugi age is not more than twenty-one. During the third loan the sailors In training at Great Lakes, after hearing their own baqd play, voluntarily subscribed $2,500,000 worth of bonds. Well tCnown Men to Speak. These towns were arranged by F. It. Fenton, federal director of sales for Michigan, who will accompany the bands. An attraction certain to prove near* ly as great as the bands from the Great Lakes will be the appearance of i two of the best known speakers U J Michigan. They are the Hon. D. J Diekema of Holland, Michigan, and Arthur H. Vandenberg of Grand Rapids. Both these loyal citizens are giving ull their time In the interests of the Fourth Liberty Loan and are men whose position and knowledge of war conditions make them probably bettei fitted to lay before the people the necessity for intensified Americanism than any other two men available within the borders of the state. • As editor of the Grand Rapids Herald Mr. Vandenberg has been one of the most prominent figures In Michigan for many years. Outside of public life, there is probably no man so famed for his splendid platform magnetism. He has stumped his state time and again for his party. Since the second Liberty Loan he has been giving his* entire time to speeches in its interests. and wherever he appears the most In Part of One of Jackie Sands That Will Tour State With Speakers for the Fourth Liberty Loan. naval bandsmen in nil parts of the, middle West. Kngfigements are being filled as far East as Philadelphia and us far South and West as Oklahoma City. The bahd, which when assembled at the Great Lakes training station is the largest band known to history In any country, has been divided for the Liberty Loan drive into detachments of from 30 to GO pieces. These bands are now rousing patriotism throughout the Seventh Federal Reserve district. The bluejacket musicians will play fn as many towns as possible during the first week of the drive. The response to their appearance in the last campaign was so striking that the loan executives feel there Is no better w-ay of stirring up the people of Michigan and the other states of the Seventh district than to give them a chance to hear and see the jnekies. Splendid Work of "Jackie*.* Perhaps the most striking demonstration of the way in which the martial strains of the navy pkiyens put patriotism into the hearts of the civilian population, it is said, followed a parade last April in St. Lout*. Sousa In person led 300 bluejacket musicians through the streets of St. Louis and the band appeared in a concert before 300,000 persons. The response of the people of St. Louis and .he Eighth district was to go over the top first among all the district*. Great enthusiasm was created. In NVw York city also when Soiwn led 2.T0 men of the Great Lafce* hand down Fifth avenue at the head of the great Red «.Yoss parade. The naval training station band is unique in the military organisation of the world. The idea of having a tremendous hand of young and enthusiastic musicians originated with Capt. W. A. JJoffett, commandant of the Great Lakes station.

A. M. C. men did v not seem to disturb the raiders, because many a Joke made In an undertone, was passed along the winding column, as to who would be first to take a ride on one of the stretchers. This was generally followed by a wish that, If you were to be the one, the wound would be a "cushy Blighty one." The stretcher bearers, no doubt, hoping that, If they did have to carry anyone to the rear, he would be small and light. Perhaps they/looked at me when wishing, because I could feel an uncomfortable, boring sensation be. tween ray shoulder blades. They got their wish all right. Going up this trench, about every sixty yards or so we would pass a lonely sentry, who in a whisper would wish us "the best o' luck, mates." We would blind at him under our breaths; that Jonah phrase to us sounded very ominous. Without any casualties the minstrel troop arrived at Suicide ditch, the front-line trench. Previously, a wiring party of the Royal Engineers had cut a lane through our barbed wire to enable us to get out into No Man's Land. Crawling through this lane, our party of twenty took up an extendedorder formation about one yard apart We had a tap code arranged for our movements while in No Man's Land, because for various reasons it Is not safe to carry on a heated conversation a few yards in front of Fritz' lines. The officer was on the right of the line, while I was on the extreme left. Two taps from the right would be passed down the line until I received them, then I would send back one tap. The officer, In receiving this one tap, would know that his order had gone down the whole line, had been understood, and that the party was ready to obey the two-tap signal. Two taps meant that we were to crawl forward slowly—and believe me, very slowly— for five yards, and then halt to await further Instructions. Three taps meant, when you arrived within striking distance of the German trench, rush it and inflict as many casualties as possible, secure a couple of prisoners, and then back to your own lines with the speed clutch open. Four taps meant, *T have gotten you Into a position from which it is impossible for me to extricate you, so you are on your own." After getting Tommy into a mess on the western front he is generally told that he Is "on his own." This means, "Save your skin in any way possible." Tommy loves to be "on his own" behind the lines, but not during a trench raid. The star shells from the German Hoes were falling In front of us, therefore we were safe. After about twenty minutes we entered the star shell zone. A star shell from the German lines fell about five yards In the rear and to the right of me; we hugged the ground and held our breath until it burned out. The smoke from the star shell traveled along the ground and crossed over the middle of our line. Some Tommy sneezed. The smoke had gotten up his nose. We crouched on the ground, cursing the offender under our breath; and waited the volley that generally ensues when the Germans fear* heard a noise in No Man's Land. Nothing happened. We received two taps and crawled forward slowly for five yards; no doubt the officer believed what Old Pepper had said, "Personally T believe that that part of the German trench is unoccupied." By being ctreful and remaining motionless when the star shells fell behind us, we readied the German barbed wire with* out mishap. Then the fun began. I was seared stiff as it is ticklish work cutting your way through wire when about thirty feet in front of you there Is a line of Bodies looking out into No Man's Land with their rifles lying across the parapet, straining every sense to see or hear what is going on fn No Man's Land; because at night, Frits merer knows when a bomb with his name and number on it will come burtltfig through the air aimed In the direction of Berlin. The man on the right, ime man ill the center and myself 0¾ the extreme left were equipped with wire cutters. These are insulated with soft rubber not beams* the German vires are charged with e l i U l d t y . t>at to prevent the cutters rubbing against the barbed wire stakes, which are of iron, and making a noise which may warn the inmates of the trench that someone Is getting fresh in their front yard. There is only eae way to cot a barbed wire without seise and thorough costly experience Tonusy has become an expert i s doing this. Ton must grasp the wire about two inches from the stake in your right hand and cut between the stake and your hand. If you cut a wire improperly, a loud twang will ring out ou the night ulr like the snapping of a banjo string. Perhaps this noise can be heard only for fifty or seventy-five yards, but in Tommy's mind it makes a loud noise in Berlin. We had cut a lane about halfway through the wire when, down the center of our line, twang! went an improperly cut wire. We crouched down, cursing under our breath, trembling all over, our knees lacerated from the strands of the cut barbed wire on the ground, waiting for a challenge and the inevitable volley of rifle fire. Nothing happened. I suppose jthe fellow who cut the barbed wire improperly was the one who had sneezed about half an hour previously. What we wished him would never make, his new year a happy one. The officer, in my opinion, at the noise of the wire should have given the four-tap signal, which meant, "On your own, get back to your trenches as luickly as possible," but again he must have relied on the spiel that Old Pepper had given us In the dugout, "Personally i believe that that part of the German trench is unoccupied." Anyway, we got careless, but not so careless that we sang patriotic songs or made any unnecessary noise. During the intervals of falling star shells we carried on with" our wire cutting until at lest we succeeded in getting through the German barbed wire. At this point we were only ten feet from the Gepmau trenches. If we were discovered, we were like rats in a trap. Our way was cut off unless, we ran along the wire to the narrow lane we had cut through. With our hearts in our mouths we waited for the threetap signal to rush the German trench. Three taps had gotten about halfway down the line when suddenly about ten to twenty German star shells were fired all along the trench and landed In the barbed wire In rear of us, turning night Into day and silhouetting us against the wall of light made by the flares. In the glaring light we were confronted by the following unpleasant scene. All along the German trench, at about three-foot intervals, stood a big Prussian guardsman with his rifle at the aim, and then we found out why we had not been challenged when the man sneezed and the barbed wire had been Improperly cut. About three feet in front of the trench they had constructed a single fence of barbed wire and we knew our chances were one thousand to one of returning alive. We could not rush their trench on account of this second defense. Then In front of me the challenge, "Halt," given In English rang out, and one of the finest things I have ever heard on the western front took place. From the middle of our line some Tommy answered the challenge, with, "Aw, go to h—I." It must have been the man who had sneezed or who had Improperly cut the barbed wire; he wanted to show Frits that he could die game. Then came the volley. Machine guns were turned loose and several bombs were thrown In our rear. The Boche In front of me was looking down his, sight This fellow might have, under ordinary circumstances, been handsome, but when I viewed him from the front of his rifle he had the goblins of childhood imagination relegated to the shade, Then came a flash in front of me, the flare of his rifle—and my head seemed to burst A bullet had hit me on the left side of my face about half an Inch from my eye, smashing the cheek bones. I put my band to my face and fell forward, biting the ground and Kicking my feet I thought I was dying, but do you know, my past life did not unfold before me the way it does In novels. The blood was streaming down my tunic, and the pain was awful. When I came to I said to myself, "Brno, old boy, you belong in Jersey City, and you'd better get back there as Quickly as possible." The bullets were cracking overhead. I crawled a few feet back to the German barbed wire, and in a stooping pf sltion, guiding myself by the wire, . went down the Use looking for f-? lane we had cat throngs, Before reaching this lane I came to a limp form which seemed tike a bag of oats fry«ijtwg over the wire. I s the dim light I could see that Its hands were blackened, and knew it was the body of one of my mates. I put my hand on bis head, the top of which had been Mows oft by a bomb, sty angers sank Into the hole. I pulled my sand back full of blood and brains, then I went crazy with fear and horror and rushed along the wire until I canie to our lane. I had just turned down this lune when something inside of me seemed to say, "Look around." I did BO ; a bullet caught me on the left shoulder. It did not Jiurt much, just felt as If someone had punched me In the back, and then my left side went numb. My arm was dangling like a rag. T fell forward in a sitting position. But all the fear had left me and I was consumed with rage and cursed the German trenches. With my right hand I felt in my tunic for my first-aid or shell dressing. In feeling over my tunic my hand came tn contact with one of the bombs which I carried. Gripping it, I pulled the pin out with my teeth and blindly threw it towards the German trench. I must have been out of my head, because I was only ten feet from the trench and took a chance of being mangled. If the bomb had failed to go Into the trench I would have been blown to bits by the explosion of my own bomb. By the flare of the explosion of the bomb, which luckily landed In their trench, I saw one big Boche throw up his arms and fall backwards, while his rifle flew into the air. Another one wilted and fell forward across the sandbags—then blackness. Realizing what a foolhardy and risky thing I had done, I was again seized with a horrible fear. I dragged myself to my feet and ran madly down the lane through the barbed wire, stumbling over cut wires, tearing my uniform, and lacerating my hands and legs. Just as I was about to reach No Man's Land again, thnt same voice were a magnificent sight, kills, flapping in the wind, bare knees showing, and their bayonets glistening. In the first wave that passed my shell hole, one of the "Jocks," an Immense fellow, about six feet two Inches in height jumped right over me. On the right aud left of me several soldiers In colored kllta w *re huddled on the ground, then over came the second wave, also "Jocks." One young Scottle, when he came abreast of my shell hole, leaped Into the air, his rifle shooting out of his hands, landing about six feet in front of him, bayonet first, and stuck in the ground, the butt trembling. This Impressed me greatly. (TO BK C O N T I N U E D . ) COMPARES MEN WITH TIRES Philosopher Asserts That the Import tant Auto Fixture Is Not Unlike Some of Human Race. "The more I have to do with automobile tires," said Philosopher Jim, "the better I understand men. There Is no limit to the comparisons that might be made, but let me ask your attention for just one of them. It turns upon the way they come to an end, men and tires alike. "On my little roadster I may have at one and the same time two tires of such different character as this: "One has served long and well. It seems sound as ever, and still looks good for a lot of work. But its healthy appearance Is deceptive: It has a vast number of well hidden decayed cells. "They began to go separately, not In masses. No one part of that tire wore out all by itself. The whole thing has been slowly, subtly honeycombed with wear. "The limit Is reached suddenly. The end, prepared for slowly and In the dark, comes swiftly; and it Is a very complete end. The tire Is a goner, the doctor can do nothing for It. "Some men end like that; seemingly vigorous one day; and the next day, on the scrap heap. "And then there are tires and men that go the other way. They seem worn and weakened, but they are sound Inside. The shell goes first, the Inner tube retains its usefulness. You know they Rre going, out they always seem good for another day's work, another hundred miles. They will stand a lot of patching. "Tires are mighty human, and that's why I really anjoy fussing with them." Of course it was public property that the Taketreesl railway trains did not dash along like u hurricane being pushed, nor did they travel as fust as a rumor, but the journey iu question had Just about put the "lid on." Mr. T. Havelier was one of the long-suffering pas.,ei gers on this occasion, and was getting anxious about the time, as lie had an appoiutmeut at the other end. "Say, porter," he flouted, leaning tils nead ojt ol the window, "what time is it'.'" "'.imt'? Sorry, sir, I don't know," replied the luggage lifter. "Don't know :" shouted Itaveller. "Hang ir, num. how is It you don't curry a-watch?" "Well, sir. you see." said the portiiiantenu pulverizer, "we hardly ever need a watch on this road ; what we need Is u calendar."—Stray Stories. NO NEED OF SUCH REFINEMENT. In "Blighty." seemed to say, "Turn around." I did so, when, "crack," another bullet caught me, this time in the left shoulder about one-hatt inch away from the other wound. Then it was taps for me. The lights went out When I came to I was crouching in a hole in Ne Man's Land. This shell hole was about three feet deep, so that It brought my bead a few inches below the level of the ground. How I reached this hole I will never know. German ••typewriters" were trsversing back and forth In No Man's Land, the bullets biting the edge of my shell hole and throwing dirt all over me. . Overhead shrapnel was bursting. I could hesr the fragments slap the ground. Then I went out once more. When I came to everything wss silence and darkness In No Man's Land. I was soaked with blood and a big flap from the wound In my cheek was hanging'orer my month. The blood running from this flap choked me. Out of the corner of my month I would try and blow It back, but It would not move. I reached for my shell dressing and tried, with one hand, to bandage my face to prevent the flow. I had an awful horror of Weeding to death and was getting very fslnt Ton would have laughed If you had seen my ludicrous attempts at bandaging with one hand. The pains In my wounded shoulder were awful and I was getting sick at the stomach. I gave up the bandaging stunt as s bad job, and then fainted. When I came to, hall was let loose. An Intense bombardment wss on, sod on the whole my position wss decidedly unpleasant Then, suddenly, our barrage ceased. The silence almost hurt, but not for long, because Frits turned loose with shrapnel, machine guns, and rifle Arm, Then all along our line came a cheer and our boys came over the top tn a charge. The first ware was composed of "Jocks." They Why Brides Love June. The first people to adopt the month of June as sacred to Hymen, the god of marriage, were the ancient Romans, who considered June the most propitious season of the year for entering upon matrimonial relations. The Romans held that June weddings were likely to be huppier than alliances contracted In any other months of the year, especially if the day chosen were that of the full moon. They also held that of all months May was to be avoided, as In that month newlywerts would come under the Influence of spirits adverse to happy households, These ancient marriage superstitions were related by the Christians in the middle ages, and even today June is considered by many to be pre-eminently the month of marriages. The word "wedding" is derived from the ancient Anglo-Saxon "wed" custom. Royal Needlewomen. Most of the European queens noted In history's pages were expert needlewomen. Mary Queen of SJeots Is said to have been particularly clever with the needle, Hardwick hall being adorned with many of her tapestries. Applique was popular In the middle ages, not only on quilts, but on wearing apparel. A peculiar court custom sprang up In the reign of Charles I, that known as "drizzling," according to an old text. This term wag apptled to the ripping out of the gold threads of wonderful Chinese embroideries to obtain the braid for their gowns. One noblewoman wrote that "all the ladles who do not play cards pick gold. It Is the most general fashion I ever saw, and they all carry hags containing the necessary tools."—Exchange. Reliable Workers. Victims of nervous and other ills should keep out in the air and sunshine, get all the exercise possible, and then go to bed "with the chickens." This "formula" will woo sleep when all other helps fail; but late hours—postponed retirlng-'-will only add to these persons* woes. Early rising and early retiring always go hand In hand. Hence, the business girl or woman should, If she has her own best Interests at heart taboo late retiring. Otherwise It Is out of the question to expect that she can report at her desk or In the workroom with calm cool nerves, or feeling physically sble to dispose of her day's tssks whatever they may be. Remember This. Overwork Just before serving of meals, more than sny other thing, has kept women from being recognised by men as equal thinkers. Dangers to Be Avoided. The bureau of Ktandards at Washington has investigated many household devices and their attendant tniln of accidents. It tells us that it is exceedingly dangerous to go to sleep with an electric pad placed under heavy bed clothing for the reason that the cumulative heat has been known to Ignite material near it. Some of these warmers for zero nights have thermostats, which take care of the dangers to a certain extent. However, the current should he turned off just as soon as the bed is warmed. Could Do No Less. "Does Mrs. Duhwaite object to your using profanity?" "Well," replied Mr. Dubwalte, with u thoughtful air, "she used to object strenuously when I addressed a few appropriate remarks to our motorcar on the occasion of a breakdown fifty or sixty miles from the nearest shop, but she permits me to express myself rather freely about the kaiser."

This unit has been approved by the War Department and will be in charge of Army officers detailed for the purpose. Men now included in the draft for the first time, who met the requirements for admission to any of the schools and College ; of the Un'versi y are to prese; t their credentials and register in the reg ular way for the work of the next session which begins October 1, 1918. Registration should be completed before that date; and ad nission should always be arranged for by mail in advance. On October 1, or aa soon after as possible students who are physically fit and who so elect, will be inducted into the Students' Army Training Corps. They will thereupon be under military discipline, will be housed and fed and unifor ned and equipped by the Government and will receive $30 a monnh, the regular pay of a private. Their tuition, including all laboratory and other fees, will also be paid by the Goverment. Former students now included in the draft for the first time should return and register in the usual manner, when they will be inducted, if they so elect, into the S. A. T. C. under the conditions described in the above paragraph. Students are not inducted into the S. A. T. C. unless they BO desire. Men subject to the draft may continue their university work without military train* ing while awaiting their call to service. The program of the Students' Army Training Corps, as arranged, consists of 55 hours of .work per week, which includes periods devoted to study, drill, and inspection. Thirteen hours are devoted to purely military work, of this ten being devoted to drill in five two- ; hour perioJS, while two ai» devoted to j theorteical military in&truction and one I to inspection. The remaining 42 hours J are to be devoted to the academic program, which will make possible an el- | ection of 15 hours and allow two hours of study for each recitation in addition ! to the military program. But one ! three hour coarse is to be prescribed, a • course in War Aims. The remaining 11 I hours may be elected by the student 1 from what are called "allied sObjects". Tne list of allied subjects, however, is very broad and includes Modern Languages, English, History, Economics, Mathematics and the Sciences. Students may, by special permission, elect work not to exceed 3 hours outside of the allied subjects. In addition to the military work above outlined professional students may continue their regular course of study. The work of the Graduate School will continue, so far as possible, as in the past. Graduate students, if they so elect may be inducted into the S. A. T. C. In any case, registration not later than October 1st is desired.

Rosen Rye For Livingston County The government is asking the farmers of Michigan to increase their acreage in the yield of Rosen Rye by 20 per cent for next year. This increase in rye can hi brought about by two methods: First To increase the acreage and second to use the best kind of seed and methods of planting and thus increase the yield per acre. Bote methods should be used in this county. During the last two years a number of farmers in Livingston County have grown Rosen Rye. This rye was first produced in Russia and then at the Michigan Agricultural College, brought to its highest standard of perfection by Prof. Spragg. The farmers who have grown this rye daring the past several years in this state report yields as high as 48 bushels per acre, and that where i; has been planted in comparision with common rye will outyeild it by five t o fifteen bushels per acre. Last winter was a very unfavorable one for rye but cases are reported in this county of yields from 35 to 40 buBhels per acre when sown on a good soil and reasonable early. Of the fall sown crops rye can be sown latter than any other but in order to secure the best results it should be sown reason- Cut out thia advertisement, enclose It with 5 cents to Foley & Co., 2835 Sheffield Ave., Chicago, 111., writingyour name and address clearly.

And if you would succeed in this old world, you must sure you're the kind of a boy folki can trust! —Boys' Life. l>«tr mothers of soidier hoys, wives of soldier men, s w e e t h e a r t s of soldier lovers, with the a r m s of our love round each other, let us reason together. From some of us, surely, love's supreme sacrifice will be de- : mauded. Kut it is nor giving our best i to d e a t h ; it is seeing the soldier eonie home crippled or blind or deaf. Kvery heart among ours aches In the ' giant grasp of pain ut the thought. ! Jti the sireers of London before this i \ a r began, there were crippled and Minded men, pitifully capitaltring j •heir infirmity as they thrust their hit of green or bunch of lead pencils 1 forward to cover the fact that they j were beggars. In every other coun- j try where war has laid Its devastating , weight, there are such men. Even • here, where we have pensioned t b e veterans of the Civil war, we have the tragic evidences oonseq .:• -nf on m e n ' s . • knowing ihat they are not helping in the world's work. These wop' the SODS of mothers like you, the hii-hamls of wives like you, the lovers 0 f sweethearts. For a month or a y«ir, the glory of their sacrifice burned brigblly around them. They were heroes In love's eyes. They were petted and appreciated. Then, the routine of life swept on. The other men went back to business. Their wives and their mothers and their sweethearts went on with life accompanied by the agreeable support of their money-producing efforts. P e r h a p s t^he men tried to make places for the maimed companions. But the dimming thoughts of the i war were the mist that began to shut the maimed ones away from participation in the life where they could render no service. The women who loved and clung to them had to find work to support themselves and the heroes. And, even they grew less conscious of the heroism and more conscious of the strain of making ends meet. Worse, yet. a deterioration set in within the mind and heart of the hero. It was not his fault that he could be of so little use. He had given more for his country than some of the • men who were blessed with the favor and comfort resulting from active service and the necmnuhition of a competency. Bitter or discouraged or else just slipping without much re- •• sisiance into the position of grocerystor* loafer and c©Ortb>«»e> toungw. the hero of a time forgotlen became a kind of tolerated zero in the life of his community—or an actual uuisan re. Dear mothers, wives, sweethearts, this Is not a ]ricture too highly colored. You know of men far-fallen from the heroic days when they came home bearing the signs of their greal giving. Then, what would I whisper to the deeps of your heart so sacred to your soldier-men? b y the strength of the love you bear them, save their glory untarnished! How? There is work that a man without a leg can do with his two hands. There is work t h a t a man bereft of sight can do by the sense of touch. There is work that a man whose arms are gone can do with his feet. Our blessed* heroes can be taught work that will, in some instances, make them eveto more able to euro than they wer*1 l>efore the war. The government 's looking after this. Then what can we do, mothers, wives and sweethearts? We can— and we must--give our men to the government a bit longer, give them till they are equipped to take men's places in the active world. It means holding our hearts, that yearn so terrifically to have them again, in the strong grip of our common sense. Duty of Our Women. When you ache to get them back, to have them right close to you, to make it aU up to them, just remember that file mothers and wives and sweethearts of those men whom you now regard as ciphers loved and yearned as you do. Just keep a tight hold on the thought that t i e shiftless, uncon trihuting member of society, who decorates a dry goods box or hunches up in a wooden chair ut the courthouse, came home to hearts that blazed with fervor as yours is blazing now. And save your men from what your eyes convince you is their certain future. Six months or more, under the wise hand of the government they have served, ami they will be fitted for further service. Six months or more of loving waiting on your part will bring you home a hero whose glory never enn be dimmed by the smudgy hand of circumstances. Six months or more of positive encouragement will keep him from falling a victim to the despair that will come when your loved one returns to the life he has left robbed of the arm or leg or eyes which have been so ssential. It la really up to us, the women whose lov» is the g'vat rock of shelter and comfort for our men, to encourage— even to insist upon their taking advantage of the opportunities which the government will provide. l.'p to the women ! We have not failed our men yet! We never will, not though the way we tread is red with our OWN heart's blood ! SCOUTS' LIBERTY LOAN WORK. Bach day the importance of the work that was done by the Boy Scouts of America in the third Liberty loan campaign is augmented by the receipt of final scoutmasters' reports. The total number of subscriptions now reported is 580.540, amounting to the sum of $67,131,850. This is a most gratifying showing because while the amount in money is not so large as it was in the second campaign, the number of subscriptions secured is largely in excess of those secured for the second campaign. This spells real service of the highest degree because in the third campaign as "gleaners after the reapers," all blanket corporation subscriptions were eliminated and the boys confined themselves to soliciting individuals, and the number of $50 and $100 bonds sold is a wonderful achievement. OF WHAT ARE WE THINKING? By GfiORGE BARR McCUTCHEON Of The VigUantej --* SCOUTS GET NAVY DESERTER. John Gilbert Jones, an alleged twotime navy deserter, was captured by members of a boy scout troop in Ramapo mountains, near Wyckoff, N. J., and started under guard for Newport Wews, Va. For two months federal authorities had searched for Jones, but clever work on the part of the boy scouts of Wyckoff resulted In his apprehension. In an abandoned mountain schoolhouse the scouts came across a store of prorisions and some navy clothing. When Jones returned, 11 scouts closed in on him at a prearranged signal. The deserter offered no resistance. SCOUTS DOING A GREAT WORK. W h a t is in the mind of t h e Ameri- j can citizen while " T h e Star-Spangled 1 B a n n e r " is being played?

ROCHE , Howell, Mich. War Time Sweeteners MERICA has several excellent war time sweeteners that will be used largely during the shortage in the sugar supply. They are maple sugar, syrups, honey and molasses and may be used in preparing desserts and other dishes requiring sweetening. When a cup of syrup or honey is used to replace a cup of sugar the liquid in the recipes should be decreased one-fourth. One-third of a cupful of sugar is equivalent to one-third of a cup of honey, about onehalf cup of syrup and about one-half cup of corn sugar. One-fourth of a cup of sugar is equal to about one-half cup of syrup or one-third cup of corn sugar. One tablespoon of sugar is equal to one tablespoon of honey, about one and one-half tablespoons of syrup and one and onethird tablespoons of corn sugar. Sugar may be saved by the use of raisins, dates, figs, dried pears and fruit pastes used on the breakfast cereals. Fruit marmalades, butters and jellies should be used to take the place of the ordinary sweetening at a meal and not as accessories to it. Fruits may be preserved without sugar. It may be added when sugar is more plentiful. Preserving demands this year a thin syrup instead of a heavy syrup. If sugar is used one-half of the amount may be replaced by another sweetener. Drying is a means of preserving (without sugar) apples, cherries, strawberries and 'black caps. When ready to use they may have added the needed sugar in the form of a syrup. When sugar is more plentiful fruit juices may be made into jellies or may be used as fruit juices with or without sugar, as beverages, fruit gelatins and frozen desserts. Fresh fruits supply the place of sugar in the diet. They should be used freely, pesserts where sugar is scarce may be made of gelatins, junkets, custards, puddings and cakes. America Deeper la This War Than Any Other Nation By P r e s e n t Ray Lyman Wilbur, of Stanford University. We must realize that we are deeper in this war than any other nation, for we have said, through our President, that our peace is to be with the German people, not with the Hohenzollern. We have then the problem of providing the additional offensive strength needed to defeat the greatest war lord in history with millions of trained veterans under his control. To do this, we must see the issues clearly and back up those at the front by our actions each hour of each day. The morale of the fighting armies will settle this war. We must see that the morale of our men and that of those who fight with us is kept at high tide. We can do so if they can feel our support all of the time. Now is the great opportunity of the American people to demonstrate that our form of government is a success. If we do not all of us, at once, voluntarily and willingly get behind those who fight and die for us, in every phase of our life, and now particularly realize that food is powder to win the war, then we are going to fail In this, our immediate pressing duty, and be a despised and humiliated nation. We must be a great united democracy fighting our way forward toward a final victory. There can be but one outcome of this war and we must steel ourselves for any misfortune, for any reverse, with our minds united and flxpd upon the idea of a final victory. - 1 } Too Easy. Two children were trying to decide on a game with which to amuse themselves, one'rammer afternoon. "Oh, no, let's not play that," aaid one in answer to a suggestion, '*!*'* too easy." And the child who had •igjfeated the game at once expressed agreement "Yea, it's to easy that it l*n't any fun." If even small children realise that a thing ceases to be interesting when it Is too easy, older girla, sorely, should not grumble if something a little difficult is asked of them.

Early In the last century envelopes hetfan to come into more general use, ami stamped envelopes achieved wide popularity in England shortly after the establishment of the penny post In 1840.

Mrs. Floyd Reason, Dear Friend:—- I suppose you will be much surprised ' to hear from me. I am well and having a good time. We are at a little town called St. Oignon. Will you give me Clare's ad- -dress so 1 can look him up if he is near me? We were twelve days coming over. I t certainly was a grand trip. We h&d all the eats we wanted and also there were two or three stores on the boat so Vie could buy anything we wanted. The last day, the day we were conning in, we could see land in the distance and the sun going down behind the mammoth cliffs. The band was playing and you could hear it miles. The water was smooth and calm. It was certainly fine. 1 guess that will be all for this time. How is everything around Pinckney? Sincerely yojrs, Louis J. Harris. 255 Casual Co. A. E. F. P. S. Please excuse my poor writing a s I am writing on a board. L. J. H. Tuesday, July 13,1.)18 Dear Dad and all: Have been somewhat bu»y for a short time and so could not write a;; often as I wished but as it is now stock will write whenever I possibly can. Everything here is fine and at present am enjoying the best of health. Surely this finds you all the same. How is everything around homa? I suppose everything is g> ing the s a n e as usual. Are you finding any difficulty in getting farm help this summer? Who is working your farm? The division Cass Clinton is in is on the .Swiss border, about 120 miles from here and if they mix it they will undoubtedly come to this hospital, and if to I will see lots of fellows I know from Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti. as the units are in the 32nd Division. The outfit .from Ypsi is the one I wanted to join when I was in Ypsi but you wouldn't let me. Weather here has been fine until just a couple of days ago when we started to get some rain. It is still misty, damp and cool. This hospital is now about ready to evacuate patients BO we will probably be filled up again soon with fresh ones. They sure did keep us busy in the fluoroscopic room locating shrapnel and machine gun bullets but ifronly took four dayB of 11 to 16 hours each to do it and believe me sleep was welcome. The Fourth passed and was celebrated by all, even myself. Parades and speeches • in the morning, baseball in the aifternoon, and a'good show at night put on by Base 15. So you tee we had fairly good time, even if we are so far away. Furloughs are on agan and expect to go to Aix-les-Bains the fust part of A u g u s t for seven days. Heard from Norb Lavey and he is fine. If nothing happens we will have our furlough together. You can bet wc will enjoy that. Weil, business i ciming in but no money. Most r.l!

I am feeling fine. We are in a resting camp and having a fine time. We have plenty to eat and a fair place to sleep in. We are in the southern part of France and it is rather w arm here. The French people are dandy to us. We have lots of wine to drink but not much water. The water here is mostly surface water and the drinking water is'scar^e and we have to economize it. The French are very kind to us; they would go hungry for us and e^very old man that can put one foot^before the other is doipg something to help the government. All families have fathers sons and brothers in the army and they feel pretty bad. Well' we had a fine trip and had no trouble at all. I would not lose the views for anything. I came through Englang nesr where mother was born. I will tell you about the-sights there when 1 get home. I think we will be home for Christmas dinner the way things look now. The papers that you get are telling the truth they seemed kind of fishy to us before we knew how things were, but things are coming fine now. Well, this is about all for this time, so good bye.

To Our Subscribers The newspapers of the country are now under government control and the commission appointed haa announced that all weekly newspapers must hereafter require cash payment in advance and must also cut off any free papers that may have been sent heretofore. These measures seem somewhat draat'c but the newspapers have no option in the matter and must obey or take the aame consequences that are now being handed out to the violators of the food regulations. This is a war measure and is intended for the conservation of paper. The Dispatch must, therefore ask all w.io are in arrears to pay their back sub- Bc-inthn before October first, otherwise WJ will be obliged to discontinue sending the paper, and wo sincerely hope we will not be forced to this last alternative. We have trier! - and we believe wiih some small success-- to make our paper r e i lable, and have been greatly encouraged by not only cheerful words of ap- Dro'tttien but financially as well. So if yovi are satisfied with our effort please pay up and allow us to avoid the unpleasant duty of cutting you f:om the subscription list.

The Branch House is the place in the packing organisation where what the packing plant does for you is put where you can use it. Both are the natural result of growth and development in the living thing they belong to. Swift & Company Branch Houses are located in distributing centers all over the country. They are fitted out with refrigerating equipment to keep meat cooj, sweet and fresh. Each one is in p arsonal charge of a man who believes in what Swift & Company is doing for people and wants to help do it They are directed by men who have spent years learning how to get better meat cheaper to the places where it is needed Meat is shipped to the branch houses direct from the packing plants in Swift & Company's refrigerator cars, in such quantities that it can be disposed of while fresh and sweet Your meat dealer comes here to buy your meat for yoa—unless someone else can treat him better then we can. So you need the branch house in order to live well; and the branch house and the packing plant need each other,in order to be useful to you. Swift & Company, U. S. A. SMfSGM LESSON (By Rev. V. B.

The Disciple's Relation to the World (Matt 5:13-16). Christ saves with a definite purpose. The character of the subjects of the Kingdom is set forth in the Beatitudes. He gives a character which wiil wield an influence. The whole mass of mankind is shown in the Scriptures to be corrupt, and the whole world in darkness. The disciples are to live such lives as will purify and enlighten. Their responsibilities are set forth under the figures-of salt, light, and I city. 1. "Ye are the salt of the earth" (v. 13). Salt is that which is opposed to corruption. It prevents the progress of corruption. The properties of salt are (1) Penetrating; (2) Purifying; (8) Preserving. Being salt, the disciples of Christ should penetrate, purify, and preserve society. Seeing on every hand the festering corruption of humanity, our responsibility is clearly set before us. The Christian should not go into seclusion. He should remain In the world, but not be a part of it. Let us he sure that as salt we do not lose our saltness. Christians cannot do good after they cease being good. 2. "Ye are the light of the world" (v. 14). Light illuminates and warns, Its gift is guidance. This world is cold and dark. Many are the^pttfalis and snares set by the devil. Christians should so live, let their light so shine, ns to prevent the unwary ones from falling into them. They should guide the lost ones of earth so that they may find the path that leads back home to the Heavenly Father's house. 3. The city set on a hill (v. 14). By a city is suggested a governmental and social order. Christian character and service should be so as to give the influence of the hill-lifted city. Christianity was not intended to be hidden, but to be made so conspicuous ns not to be hidden, the grand objective being1 to glorify God the Heavenly Father (v. 1G). II. The Disciples' Commission (Matt. 28:18-20). 1. What it is (v. 18). It is to teach, to make disciples. Christ's death on the cross and triumphant resurrection provided salvation for the world. "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). This great fact must be proclaimed to the world. The great commission is backed by the urgency of human need and divine love, and compassion for this need. The dlsdples are to administer baptism in the name of the Trinity to those who believe, and teach them to observe all things which Christ commanded 2. Its scope—all nations (v. 19). It is as wide as the world, and this obligation lasts until all the world is evangeiised. 3. Its sustaining power—"all power is given" (v. 18). The divine energy is back of all those who go. Since he Is with those who go the enterprise cannot fail. Opposition of the devil, sickness and death cannot thwart, because it is backed by divine energy. 4. The superintending providence— "1 am with you* (v. 20). Though the disciples may be scattered far and wide, the divine Ohrtflt is always present to comfort gnide and sustain. This presence is guaranteed to the end of the age. HI. Paul called ta Macedonia to Preach (Acts W :6-15). 1. Circumstances of ( w . 6-8). While pushing on.the work of evangelisation on his second missionary journey, the Spirit forbade Pant to preach farther In Asia, poors being thus closed, there was nothing to do but to go down to Troas.

BRITISH AND FRENCH ARMIES CONTINUE TO CUT THEIR WAY INTO FOE LINES London—Just a month ago the real "battle of 1918" crashed loose with Rawlinson's stunning blow to the Teu ton army facing Amiens. Up to that date, Foch's campaign, begun July 1$, had ben a counter offensive. Every hour since, Germans have been withdrawing, retreating, fleeing, with the Allied line of attack gradually spreading to a front of 140 miles,' from Ypres to the west of Rheimis. | Lately the great German retreat be-! gan to show signs of a halt. The ene-; my has his back to the wall, a breach j of which will send him staggering j back to the Me use and the Belgian ! frontier. Indications are he means to avert, or at least stave off, such a dig-' aster to his armies of invasion. I The German center stands east of the line St. Emille-Villeveque, front Ing the St. Quentia-Le Catelet sectorj of the "wall of fate." Both, places are In British hands. Driven Back Hard in Month. As an illustration of what has happened within the last 30 days, it should j be said, at Villeceque Germans are • nearly 37 miles east of Amiens. An j August 8 they stood -east of Corbie, only a little more than 10 miles from that great Allied base. ' As this glorious month of the Allied triumphal march winds up, the British, French and Americans are hammering forward, but from a clean pursuit the campaign is changing into a new battle, in which "the foe apparently means to defend every foot In a desperate delaying combat. Allies Continue to Pierce Lines, British rtad French armies continue to cut their way into German lines on various sectors of the lower part of the battle line In France. Notwithstanding the bad weather which has caused a slackening in violence of operations, Field Marshal j Haig's forces greatly encroached upon Cambrai and St. Quentin, while farther south French armies are pressing eastward on the old Noyon seetor toward Le Fere and Laon and northward from SoisBons in auxiliary, maneuvers with the same objectives in view. Americans Gain Additional Ground. Between the Vesle and the Aisne rivers, where American troops are lighting with the French, additional ground has been gained by Allied forces. The British are standing at Villeveque, six miles fron S t Quentin, having carried out an advance over a 20- mile front on the general line of Epehy, Hesbecourt and Vermand. To the north the greater part of the Havrlncourt wood, one of the German strong points barring the way to Cambrai, also has ben captured. So Tapid has been the British advance along this portion of the front they are in positions they held before the big German drive of last March. Teutons Fear Tanks. With the Americans, South of the Aisne—Despite Ludendorff's statements concerning inefficiency of tanks, concrete proof exists of the enemy's fear of the mobile- fortleta. Thus, instructions issued by General von Stein to the troops opposing General Mangin'a army, orders them to ignore Franco-American Infantry and artillery and everything else except tanks and cavalry, and to employ every weapon against them. Germane to Make Stand. Furthermore, the German line la falling- back toward a aeries of defensive centers each of which is pro* tected by rivers and canals which La* dendorff believe may hold up the It is now clear chief bulwarks to which the Germans are retiring and where they may try for a definite Stand are Douei, Cambrai, Le Catelet, S t Quentin. La Fere and Leon. Thence to the southeast there is difficult uphill country Intersected by tavines and flanked hy the Aisnelilete canal, on wales Gerntans are trying to make a steady To the east, Germans hare the Aisne as 4 harrier heyond the north of Bhelatf. Although the canals for the meet part are dried up, the) locks being eat, ant! *'" i t r beds being dried up dc time, the wM« deeo ditches are believed to offer difficulties to tanks. The Chemin-des-Dames does not of fer much trouble to tanks, but the country approaching It from the west is not open and rolling, as was that across which Nivelle launched his great frontal attack In April, 1917. The Ailette offers good rear guard protection if the Chemiu-des-Dames fails. Prizes for Tank Snipers. Thus, despite Ludendorff's medals and money prizes for anti-tank Bnlpers, it is evident Germans have a wholesale respect for the monsters. It Is true tanks have been knocked out, but so have aeroplanes. - Since the incessant battering began on July 18, the nerves of the enemy's infantry have been badly shattered, and often It breaks away and flees at the tanks' approach. Ludendorff has, therefore, selected a defensive system apart from the Hindenburg line which he hopes will be impervious to tank assaults. However, infantry can always be used to breach any line, creating salients trirough which tanks may be pitched into the attack. Turks Make Peace Feeler. Amsterdam.—"All our enemies, including America, will shortly recognise that there is no sense in continuing the war." Talaat Pasha, Turkish minister of interior, is quoted by the Vienna Neue Frele Zeitung as having made this statement In an interview, and as adding that he was convinced "favorable conditions for peace will arise before winter." The Turkish statesman's alleged de deration in Itself is regarded here as merely another opening gun in the carefully prepared "peace or armistice before winter" campaign of the Can tral powers. His allusion to America, which ho includes among "our enemies," has caused a mild sensation in diplomatic circles because of this manifest offense to a nation that has displayed such long suffering patience toward Turkey, stanuhly resisting strong pressure at home for a declaration of war. Allies Can Strike From East Vladivostok.—The Japanese military staff has been informed that the Csecho-Slovaks hold the railway from Olovyanna to Penza. It Is now apparent that the unexpected climax in the Czechoslovak break through was due partly to the Allied -advance toward Khabarovsk, which caused transfer of a large Bolshevik force from Lake Baikal toward Khabarovsk, and.the weakened front collapsed under Czezcho pressure from the west and General SemenofTs pressure from the east. The opportunity is now presented for the Allies to take advantage of the strategical points in the hands ot the Czechs to move into the heart of Russia, where considerable reinforcements from loyal Russian elements are certain, and striking a stunning blow at Germany. It is believed Germany will make the greatest sacrifice.* to hold conquered Russian territory.

T H I S is a topic we all bear now-a-days because so many people are inclined to exaggerate. Tet hap any physician told you that we claimed unreasonable remedial properties for Fletcher's Castoria? Just ask them. We won't answer it ourselves, we know what the answer will be. That it has all the virtues to-day that was claimed for it in its early days is to be found in its increased use, the recommendation by prominent physicians, and our assurance that its standard will be maintained. Imitations are to be found in some stores and only because of the Castoria that Mr. Fletcher created. But it is not the genuine Castoria that Mr. Fletcher Honestly advertised, Honestly placed before the public and from which he Honestly expects to receive his reward, tet Contents 15 Fluid Dx Children Cry For QooDROPS '* •"'•' . ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ . ^ ^ ^ 4 ^ ^ - ^ - ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ 1 ^ ^ ALGOHOL-3 PER CENT. , A\fe*dabterYeparationfeAs laimilatinglheFood tyRepua- I fln^theStoaadis atdBcwetojfJ Thereby Promotin$D«esW Chcerfamcss and l ^ M d b j ne«ierOpinm,MorphUicnor Mineral.

A large number of friends were present and the church was tastifully decorated with flags. A large American flag at half mast and a beautiful service flag with a golden star and a blue star preceded the relatives into the church. Rev. Gillette presided, assisted by Rev. Smith of Fowlerville. Hugh Aldrich sang several fine solos. Memorial service for Sergeant Jay Taylor Glenn mere held at the home of h s parents in Unacilla Townjh'p Sanday, September 8th, a large nuraber of friends lending sympathy by their pres ence. Glenn had seen service with the army ii Mexico at the time of the trouble there and in July, 1918 went to the Grayling concentration camp, crossing from Waco to France in March, 1918. He was a member of the Stockbridge Masonic lodge and had a host of dear friends. Tfe last offical entry of his name on the A*rr.y Record states that he was killed in action August 3d 1919 while bravely duty—to which no addition can improve. for the adoption of the idea, as throughout the state there was a decided feeling against several drives a year. With only one, the maximum effort of all the organizations is exerted and no furthur solicitation is necessary for a year. Each organization is on an equal footing; the huge sum of money is safely guarded in the Btate treasury, and it is paid out through the state on the order of the proper officers of the various organizations as their needs demand.

Let me say that before any wheat shall be endorsed by the Executive Committee of the Faim Bureau of this county it must have proven its merit as a superior wheat. It has only been grown for one year in this county, a length of time insufficient to prove* its merit, as no wheat should be endorsed or condemned on one years trial. Some varieties of the winter wheats have outyieldcd Red Rock Wheat in this cr.ir.'y. The highest yield coding t o my notice being 26 bushels per acre. i::u highest yield of Red Rock wheat being 24 .bushels, with a number of fields averaging about 15 bushels p e r acre. Figures have been received from Allegan Counr.y which has been raising Red Reck Wheat for three years. Last year, 1917, the average yield per acre in 16 townships in which it was grown was 29 bushels per acre; with a number of fields yielding forty bu3he Is and one farm with a record of fifty bushel per acre. Figures have not been tabulated for this year's yield but yields have been obtained as high as 45 bushels per acre. In St. Joseph County a few fields have yielded as high as 40 bushels per acre. On the other hand a number of fields of this wheat was 30 badly winter killed to be held in November; the Knights of r that it was dragged up, and otherg Columbus, Salvation Army and Jewish gave yields of only a few bushels per Relief fund combined drive was to have j acre. It seems probable that the value been held in January. But now all j of this variety to withstand winter drives are combined in cne, beginning ' killing h&s been Somewhat overestimated November 11, this year, under s t a l e ' I feel that before condemning this supervision, with State Treasurer , variety of wheat it should be given a Samuel Odeil as treasurer.

WAR MATERIAL HEADS LIST Other Classes 8o Ntir Together That Line Drawn By Priorities Is Hsrdry to Be Considered. Washington—The priority division of the war industries board has compiled a new priorities list which it declares to be "the master key governing the flow of basic industrial elements to the Industries essential to the war program." It supersedes all previous listing. Translated, it really means that the new priorities list is not only the guide for priority in the supply of raw material and in transportation, but is also the basis for guidance of local boards in exemption and deferred classification in the new draft, and the governing factor in the.distribution of labor, capital, facilities, material, transportation and fuel for the industries. War Needs Come First. It is explained that class 1, as fixed In this order, includes those industries deemed of "intrinsic importance of product for use during the war, and urgency," which, again translated,, means that the Industries listed a s class 1 will have all the advantages of priority orders in supply ot raw material, In the transportation of finished products, in the deferred classification of labor; In granting of loans or permission to increase capital stock or make bond Issues. The other classes, two. three and four, it is said, are so near together that the line drawn by the priorities order is hardly to be considered, and they are simplv reld, as a whole, above non-essential industries. The real priority list, the industries coming under class one, is as follows: Aircraft, ammunition, army and navy (arsenals rnd navy yards, cantonments and camps), are (small), blast furnaces (producing pig Iron),. chemicals (for war purposes), coke (for war purposes). Dome tic consumers (fuel and electric energy for residential vurposes, includin apartment h. u e j and hotels); explosives (for war purposes), feed, foe'., guns (large), mines (corl), oil and gas. public in t tutions and build 1 -?, railways, sv i maintenance, operation and shin: u Iding), steel making, furnaces, Eteel plate mills. 49 il i.

The ^Germans displayed signboards over the top 'of their trench showing the names that wo had called their trenches. The signs read "Fair." 'Tact/' "Fate," and "Fancy," and so on, according to the code names on our map. Then to, rub it In, they hoisted some more signs which read, "'Come on, we are ready, stupid English." It is still a mystery to me bow they obtained this knowledge. There had been no raids or prisoners taken, so it must have been the work of spies in out own lines. Three or four days before the big push we tried to shatter Fritz's nerves fey feint attacks, and partially succeeded as the official reports of July l show. Although we were constantly bombarding their lines day and night, still we fooled the Germans several times. This was accomplished by throwing an Intense barrage into his lines— then using smoke shells we would put a curtain of white smoke across No Man's Land, completely obstructing his view of our trenches, and would raise our curtain of fire a s If in an actual attack. All down our trenches the men would shout and cheer, and Fritz would turn loose with machine-gun, rifle, nnd shrapnel fire, thinking we were coming over. After three or four of these dummy attacks his nerves must have been near the breaking point. On June 24, 1916, at 9:40 In the morning our guns opened up, and hell was let loose. The din was terrific, a constant boom-boom-boom In your ear. At night the sky was a red glare. Our bombardment had lasted about two hours when Frits started replying. Although we were sending over ten shells to his one, our casualties were heavy. There was a constant stream of stretchers coming out of the communication trenches and burial parties were a common sight. In the dugouts the noise of the guns almost hurt. You had the same sensa- j tion as when riding on the subway you enter the tube under the river going to Brooklyn—a sort of pressure on the I ear drums, and the ground constantly ! trembling. ! The roads behind the trenches were very dangerous because Boche shrapnel was constantly bursting over them. We avoided these dangerous spots by crossing through open fields. The destruction In the German lines was awful and I really felt sorry for them because I realized how they must be clicking it. From our front-line trench, every now and again, we could hear sharp whistle blasts In the German trenches. t h e s e blasts were the signals for stretcher bearers, and meant the wounding or killing of some German In the service of his fatherland. Atwell and I had a tough time of it, patrolling the different trenches at night, but after awhile got used to i t My old outfit, the maehino gun company, was stationed in huge elephant dugouts about four hundred yards behlmd the front-line trench—they were in reserve. Occasionally I would stop in their dugout and have a confab with my former mates. Although we tried to be jolly, still, there was a lurking feeling of Impending disaster. Each man was wondering, It after the slogan, "Over the top with the best of lock," had been sounded, would he still be alive or would he be lying "somewhere In France." In an old dilapidated limits, thr walls of which were scarred with machine-gun bullets, Ho, 3 section of the machine gun company had Its Quarters. The company's cooks prepared the meals in this billet Oa the fifth •rsntaf of the bombardment A German etfattaeh shell registered a direct hit on the billet and wiped out tea men woo were asleep In the supposedly bomb-praof cellar. They were horied the next day and I attended the fttnefaL | On the afternoon of the eighth day of j our "strafeing," Atwell and I were sittrng In the front-line trench smoking fags and making out our reports of the previous night's tour of the trenches, 'vhlch we had to turn In to headquarters the following day, when an order was passed down the trench that Old Pepper requested twenty volunteers to go over on a trench raid that night to try and get a few German prisoners for Information purposes. I immediately volunteered for this Job, and shook hands with Atwell, and went to the rear to give my name to the officers in charge of the raiding party. I was accepted, worse luck. At 9;45 that night we reported to the brigade headquarters dugout to receive Instructions from Old Pepper. After reaching this dugout we lined up-in a semicircle around him, and he addressed us as follows: "All I want you boys to do Is to go over to the German lines tonight, surprise them, secure a couple of prisoners, and return immediately. Our artillery has bombarded that section of the line for two days and personally I believe that that part of the German trench is unoccupied, so Just get a couple of prisoners and return as quickly as possible." The sergeant on my right, In an undertone, whispered to me: "Say, Yank, how are we going to get a couple of prisoners if the old fool CHAtTIR XXVI, AH Owlet (f) on the Wester* Front.

I-had a funny sinking sensation In my stomach, and,my tin hat felt as if it weighed about a ton and my enthusi* asm was melting away. Old Pepper must have heard the sergeant speak because he turned in his direction and in a thundering voice asked: "What did you sayT' The sergeant with a scarlet look oa bis face and his knees trembling, smartly sainted and answered; -Nothing, sir." Old Pepper said: "Well, don't say It so loudly the next time- Then Old Pepper continued: I n this section of the German trenches there are two or three ma* chine guns which our artillery, in the last two or three days, has been unable to tape. These guns command the sector where two of OUT communication trenches join the front line, and as the brigade is to go over the top tomorrow morning I want to capture two or three men from these guns' crows, and from them I may be able to obtain valuable information as to too exact location of the guns, and our artillery will therefore be able to demolish them before the attack, and thus prevent our losing a lot of men while using these communication trenches to bring np re-enforcements* These were the Instructions ho gave -Take off your Identification disks, strip your uniforms of aU numarala, Insignia, etc* leave your papers with yonr captains, becaoat I don't want the Bochos to know what ivgtsaents -are •jaunt theoi as this would bo veluaMa information to them la oar attack tossatrow and I dont want any of yon to he taken all ve. What I want to two prisoners and if I get them I have a way which will make theui divulge all necessary Information us to their guns. You have your choice of two weapons—you may carry your 'persuaders' or your knuckle knives, and each man will arm himself with four Mills bombs, these to be used only in case of emergency." A -persuader is Tommy's nickname for a club carried by the bombers. It is about two feet long, thin at one end and very thick at the other. The thick end is studded with sharp steel spikes, while through the center of the club there is a nine-inch lead bar, to give it weight and balance. When you get a prisoner all you have to do Is just stick this club up in front of him, and believe me, the prisoner's patriotism for "Deutschland ueber AHes" fades away and he very willingly obeys the orders of his captor. If, however, the prisoner gets high-toned and refuses to follow you, simply "persuade" him by first removing his tin hat, unci then— well, <he use of the lead weight in the persuader Is demonstrated, and Tommy looks for another prisoner. The knuckle knife Is a dagger affair, the blade of which is about eight inches long with a heavy steel guard over the grip. This guard Is studded with steel projections. At night In a trench, which Is only about three to four feet wide, it makes a very handy weapon. One punch in the face generally shatters a man's jnw and you can get him with the knife as he goes down. Then we had what we culled our "come-alongs." These are strands of barbed wire about three feet long, made into a noose at one end; at'the other end, the barbs are cut off and Tommy slips his wrist through a loop to get a good grip on the wire. If the prisoner wants to argue the point, why Just place the large loop around his neck and no matter if Tommy wishes to return "to-his tranches at the walk, trot, or gallop, Fritz is perfectly agreeable to maintain Tommys rate of 3peeu. v\Ve were ordered to black our faces and hands. For this reason; At night, the- English and Germans use what they call star shells, a sort of rocket affair. They are fired from a large pistol about twenty Inches long, which Is held over the sandbag parapet of the trench, and discharged Into the olr. These star shells attain a height of about sixty feet, and a range of from fifty to seventy-five yards. When they hit the ground they explode, throwing out a strong calcium light which lights up the ground in a circle of a radius of between ten to fifteen yards. They also have a parachute star shell which, after reaching a height of about sixty feet, explodes. A parachute unfolds and slowly floats to the ground, light-.. ing up a large circle In No Man's Land. The official name of the star shell Is a "Very-light." Very-lights are used to prevent night surprise attacks on the trenches. If a star shell falls In Beware of Losing Time. It's hard to make up lost time. Folks lose time when they are thoughtless, young and foolish. Some never get past this stage. They seem never to realize that every day has its own tasks and handicaps. Going back adds to this past drawbacks plus Interest. Some things can never be made up. Learn the way of indolence and Irresponsibility and no amount of lecturing will help you overcome It Grow away from the study habit and It's next to Impossible to regain It. It takes heroic measures for old folks to do what their youth has left undone. So now's your time. If you're among the old folks, make the best of It If yon belong to the young and highly favored youth of today begin laying foundations big enough to carry the weight of a great future—Pennsylvania Grit front of you, or between juu and thv Germun lines*, you are safe from detection, us the enemy cannot se« you through the bright curtain of light. But if it fails behind you anil, as Tommy says, "you get in the isiur shell zone," then the fun begins; you have to He flat on your stomach and remain absolutely motionless until the light of the shell dies out. This takes anywhere from forty to seventy seconds. If you haven't time to fail to the ground you must remain absolutely still In whatever position you were in when the light exploded; it is advis able not to breathe, as Fritz has an eye like an eagle when he thiuka you ure knocking at his door. Wheu a srar shell is burning in Tommy's reur he can hold his breath for u week. You .blacken your face and hands so that the light from the star shells will not reflect on your pale face. In a trench raid there is quite sufficient reason for your face to be pale. If you don't believe me, try it Just once. Then another reason for blackening your face and hands is that, after you have entered the German trench at night, "white face" means Germans, "black face" English. Coming around a traverse you see a white face in front of you. With a prayer and wishing tYitz "the best o' luck," you Introduce him to your *jpersuader" or knuckle knife. A little later we arrived at the communication trench named Whisky street, which led to the fire trench at the point we were to go over the top and out in front. In our rear were four stretcher bearers and a corporal of the R. A. M. C. carrying a pouch containing medicines and first-aid appliances. Kind of a grim reminder to us that our expedition was not going to be exactly a picnic. The order of things was reversed. In civilian life the doctors generally come first, with the undertakers tag* ging in the rear and then the Insurance man, but in our case, the undertakers were leuding, with the doctor* trailing behind, minus the insurance adjuster.

The first Sunday the new gasoline regulations went into effect did not conserve gasoline to any great extent judging by the number of autos out driving that day. Last Sunday, however, the new edict was observed with more regard to the wishes of the fuel administration and the number of cars in use that day was greatly reduced. The idea of gasoline cards, by which the supply ot gasoline may be regulated on the Batne basis that sugar is now conserved, has many friends among the auto owners. This would give the owners of cars who do not have time to ride during the week an opportunity of taking some pleasure with their cars and if they wished to use the more rapid way of locomotion to go to church, the doctor's office or on a joy ride they would not be subjected to the humiliation of being classified with the slackers as is now ' the case. « The war regulatation as it now stands \ certainly favors the class who have \ plenty of leisure time to use their cars during the week.
