Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan Thursday Sept. i j 1918 C. J. SIBLEY IN ENGLAMD Somewhere in England, August 4, 1918. Dear Mo-her: Well at last we are in Europe, and i certainly seems good to be on hard land again, after the time we spent on that ship. Was scsick pari, o' the time, but it wasn't all the ocean' The~e was surh a si:kigh smell about .the *b'p ?"1 t'.ie feed was also si kish. We : bought it was good at i'hst, but that was oi\]y because of the change. We got the same tning evejy day. When we landed we had a 5 mile hike with full packs and the band had to play to boot. Maybe we weren't some s ff this morning. Don't expect to stay at this camp or^ly a day or so. How long we will stay in England I don't know and wouldn't be allowed to tell i? I d;d. Although this town is one of tie la'gest seaports in the world you should see the buildings. They remind me of the pictures I have seen of N:W England settlements in History. No buildings over five stories high and very few of those. Most all brick with slate roofs And funny old-fashioned chimneys. If it hadn't been so foggy we could have eeen some nice scenery the day before we landed. We could see the outlines of the mountains along the coast and once in a while a lighthouse showing up white through the fog. All we had for dinner the day we left the boat was hardtack, cheese and an apple. But we certainly made up for It at supper. We were issued enough Nations on the ship (canned goods) beef pork and beina, and herd tack. It tastlike a feast after what we bad been sued to on the boat The tents here are lots nicer thpn at Camp Mills; in fact, the whole camp is snore sanitary. It is located in; a sort of a park. Would like to look this town over as it seems awfully interesting. J3ut no soldiers are allowed out of camp except on official business The street cars (except the overhead «nts) are all of two decks and all have lady conductors. The freight cars are • c • " ihay would make you laugh, jnglnes. wasn't for being under military vu sll the time this trip would be g r o t .

However, there are lots of the.n, sash as they are and they all for the Americans. We set our watches ahead abo I: 30 jnninutes each day and now we are about 6 hours ahead of Michigan time. When we are eating our supper you are eating your dinner. Am feeling fine today after getting cleaned up and a square meal insiee me. Suppose we will get a ride on the dinky English train.

This is the judgment of military observers at the war department. It is added that certain failure of the Germans to hold that part of the line, extending from a point opposite Rheims to Leon, will be due largely to American troops operating out of Flames. It was pointed out that British hav lng crossed the Hindenburg line east of CToisilles, the thrust that will make the line absolutely untenable, is that of Americans, which now is menacing that part of it east of Flsmes. The part the French are playing to bring about complete abandonment of the line is extension of their salient between Neale and Llcourt. This is the deepest salient that has been effected by any of the Allies or Americans since the counter-offensive of the mid-July days. It Is claimed that th« efficient work of the French in this salient, or to produce it, was done by the French without assistance from either British or Americana. South of Solssons,. however, in the last reported advance, Americans are forging ahead shoulder* to shoulder with the French. The French advance against the territory controlled by the Hindenburg line Is moat difficult. It is now fronted by forests, which as general rule, are harder to carry than entrenchments in the open. It Is realized that maintenance of the French advance in this salient is just as as* sential af the push of British to the north and Americans to the south but it was stated that the advance of Americans is the big factor at thli time. Strategists here are not willing to go any farther than to prophesy effacement of the Hindenburg line, Beyond that they say there Is a bit problem which will depend on veto forcement of the German decimated divisions. Military men seem to have bat one opinion of a veiled threat which U contained In an interview with the German Ueatenaatgasacal, Baron von Ardenne, which comes via Amsterdam, The' threat is that Germany has some* thing In reserve which Is to turn the present debacle into a new German offensive, The American mftttarv opinion is that the threat is: 1—Either a bold, colossal Muff; or, 1—The assumption that Germany will be able to force the Russians and other conquered aatlons to sand troops to the. battieflekl to save the WOMAN'S NEW FIELD ONE MILLION STRONG, SHE IS READY TO BOOM T H I FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN. HER FORCES ALL MOBILIZED Remarkable Success in the Three Previous Loots Despite Unfamiliar. Ity With National Finance—Organization Reaches Every City and Village. Under the banner of the fourth Liberty loan are enlisted one million women. Like soldiers at attention they await the coming drive, ready to talk bonds and sell bonds and buy bond*. Kver since the first bugle call sounded the women have been mobilizing their forces. Through the National Woman's Liberty Loan committee oew vistas of activity were opened to the women of the country and marching through three loans along previously unexplored roads of national finance they have advanced to a significant place in the front lines of government endeavor. In May, 1917, the secretary of the treasury staked his belief in the patriotism and ability of the women of America. At that time he appointed the National Woman's Liberty Loan committee, the first and only executive committee of women in the history of the United States government. Two days after their appointments wens made eleven women met and made their plans In the treasury at Washington. These plans were the Inspiration for ah organization that has spread oil over the country, until today It reaches into every city, every town, every village and hamlet and crossroads. Fine Work or* Former Loan*. When the first loan was announced the committee decided that the work done by Its members during that campaign should be directed toward general aid In the districts rather than to Intensive organization work of women, Nevertheless, in the two weeks allotted to them, women from coast to coast rallied to the colors. In this short time the women in the New York district raised more than eight minions of dollar*; the waroen of Pittsburgh raised one-third «f that city's large subscription, excluding corporations ; New England's hastily gathered group of women swelled the bulk of the returns; and the women of southern California outdid the rest of the country by establishing a ratio of seven women to every three men buying Liberty bonds. The original plan of the committee had to meet two conditions. The federal reserve districts were the nnlt of financial organization but the states were the unit of the women's organizations. These two hRd to be correlated. Hundreds of Thousands Are Helping. To accomplish this two sets of chairmen were appointed, twelve to the various federal reserve districts and 49 to the states and the District of Columbia. The federal reserve chairmen a*t regarded as ambassadors to the federal reserve banks rather than organization promoters. Under the direction j>f the state chairmen, the national organization has been evolved, so that in the second loan sixty thousand women were working as fiscal agents of the government, and in the third loan over five hundred thousand women were augmenting subscriptions. This new field of endeavor has revolutionized the American women: Wfth one million women making house-tohouse canvasses, working In booths in department stores, making automobile campaigns, and talking bonds from every street corner, the old" Idea has been eliminated that the American woman li a pampered, parasitic pet. The machinery of the National Women's Liberty Loan committee is already in action for the fourth liberty loan, and in every federal reserve district and In every state the million workers stand ready to fusillade with their energy and patriotism the ammunition stores of wealth for the fighting men of the nation.

UTS are rich in both protein and fat A cupful of chopped I eanuts equals a half pound of steak, chicken or leg of lamb. No meat except pork chops and sausage will provide enough fat to replace the fat found in a duptol of peanuts. Walnuts are not as rich in protein as peanuts; but they furnish nearly twice the amount of fats. Egg Plant With Walnut*.—Boil an ["egg plant until tender, cut in pieces, remove the skin and mash the pulp. To the pulp add one cupful of chopped walnuts, two tablespoonfuls of bread crumbs, two eggs well beaten, salt and pepper to season. Mix well, put into a well-greased baking dish, cover with well-buttered crumbs (the crumbs may be mixed with any sweet fat) and bake until brown. Scalloped Onions With Peanuts.— Peel and cook six onions, chop twothirds of a cupful of roasted peanuts, cook together two tablespoonfuls each of fat and corn flour; add a cupful of milk and seasonings. Put the onion and peanuts in layers in a buttered baking dish, add the white sauce and cover with buttered crumbs. Bake until brown. Prune Coupe,—Take two cupfuls of top milk luke warm, add one crushed Junket tablet dissolved in a tablespoonful of water, two teaspoenfuls of vanilla, a few grains of salt. Mix in the freezer can and let stand until the milk is. thick, then freeze. Serve small portions In glasses with prune sauce.

They gave him more votes than were cast for Henry Ford in both partiea, and they gave him practically as many votes as were cast for both Ford and Osborn in the Republican party. The latest returns ahow the commander falling back slightly in the count against the combined vote of his adversaries. In 2,002 precincts out of 2,187, total for the state, he receives 105,121; Ford 66,050 and Osborn 40,771. Ford and Osborn totals 106,821. Gov. Albert B. Sleeper and Ueut.- Oov.

Loud in the Tenth district by 2,000 votes, while in the Eleventh district Con* gressman Scott beat State Senator James Wood by 4,000 votes. Interest in the Second district centered in the Republican congressional contest, in which four sought the nomination. Mlnchener, of Adrian, is apparently the winner of the fourcornered race by about 500 votes. Newton was second and Dixon third. Mark Bacon, who was Congressman Reakes' opponent two years ago, ran fourth. Wayne County Returns. Charles Jasnowski, for county prosecutor, received 22,047 votes, and his nearest opponent, Allan P.

Just a* he finished speaking, the weleome **pup-pup" of a machine gun In their rear rang out, and the front line of the onrushing Germans seemed to melt away. They wavered, but once again came rushing onward. Down went their second line. The machine gun was taking an awful toll of lives. Then again they tried to advance, but the machine gun mowed them down. Dropping their rifle* and bomb*, they broke and fled in a wild rush back to their trench, amid the cheers of "D" company. They were forming again for another attempt, when In the rear of D company came a mighty cheer. The ammunition had arrived and with It a battalion of Scotch to re-enforce them. They were saved. The unknown machine gunner had come to the rescue In the nick of time. With the re-enforcements it was an easy task to take the third German line. After the attack was over, the captain and three of his noncommissioned officers, wended their way back to the position where the machine gun had done Its deadly work. He wanted to thank the gunner in the name of D company for his magnificent deed. They arrived at the gun, and an awful sight met -their eye*. Lloyd had reached the front line trench, after his company had left it. A strange company was nimbly crawling up the trench ladders. They were reenforcements going over. They were ftcotties, and they made a magnificent sight In their brightly colored kilts and bare knees. Jumping over the trench, Uoyd raced across "No Man's Land,", unheeding the rain of bullets, leaping over dark forms on the ground, some of which lay still, while others called out to him as he speeded past He came to the German front line, but It was deserted, except for heaps of dead and wounded—a grim tribute to the work of his company, good old D company. Leaping trenches, and gasping for breath, Lloyd could see right ahead of him his company in a dead-ended sap of a communication trench, and across the open, away in front of them, a mass of Germans preparing for a charge. Why didn't D company fire on them? Why were they so strangely silent f What were they waiting for) Then he knew—their ammunition was exhausted. But what was that on his right? A machine gun. W*y didn't It open Are aadsnvetham? Ba w<mld jnaS* that gun's crew do their duty. Rushing over to the gun he saw why it had not opened firs. Scattered around It* base lay six still forms. They had brought their gun to consolidate the captured position, but a German machine gun bad decreed they would never fire again. Lloyd rushed to the gun and, grasping the traversing bandies,,trained It on the Germans. He pressed the thumb piece, but only a sharp click was the result The gun was unloaded., Then he realised his helplessness. TBe did not know bow to load the gun. Oh, why hadn't he attended the machinegun c o m e to Buglandr He'd been o«ere4 the chlaiee, but with a brash of shame he remembered that he had been afraid. The nickname of the machine gunners had frightened him. They were called the "Suicide club.'* Now, because of this fear, his company would be destroyed, the men of D company would have to die, because he, Albert Lloyd, had been afraid of a name. In his shame he cried like a baby. Anyway he could die with them and, rising to his feet, he stumbled over the body of one of the gunners, who emitted a faint moan. A gleam of hope flashed through him. Perhaps this man eould tell him how to load the gum Stooping over the body he gently shook it and the soldier opened his eyes. Seeing Lloyd, he closed them again and, in a faint voice, said: "Get away, you blighter, leave me alone. I don't want any coward around me." The words cut Lloyd like a knife, but he was desperate. Taking the revolver out of the holster of the dying man he pressed the cold muzzle to the soldier's head and replied: "Yes, It is Lloyd, the coward of Company D. but so help me God, If you don't tell me how to load that gun m put a bullet through your brain!" A sunny smile came over the countenance of the dying man and he said In a faint whisper: "Good old boy! I knew you wouldn't disgrace our company " Lloyd Interposed: "For God's sake, If you want to save that company you are so prond of, tell me how to load that d d gun!" As if reciting a lesson in school, the soldier replied In a weak, singsong voice: "Insert tag end of belt in feed block, with left hand pull belt left front. Pull crank handle back on roller, let go, and repeat motion. Gun is now loaded. To fire, raise automatic safety latch, and press thumbplece. Gun ts now firing. If gun stops, aacertaln position of crank handle—" But Lloyd waited for no more. With wild joy at his heart, he took a belt from one of the ammunition boxes lying beside the gup, and followed the dying man's Instructions, Then he pressed the thumbplece and a burst of fire rewarded bis efforts. The gun was working. Training It on the Germans be shouted for Joy as their front rank went down. Traversing the gun back and forth along the mass of Germans, he saw them break and run back to the cover of their trench, leaving their dead and wounded behind. He had saved his company, he, Lloyd, the coward, had "done his bit" Releasing the thumbpiece, he looked .at the watch on his wrist He was still alive at "fr&a." "Ping r—a bulled sang through the air, and Lloyd fell forward across the gun. - A thin trickle of blood ran down bis face from a little, black round hole In his forehead. "The sentence of the court had been ••duly carried out" The captain slowly raised the limp form drooping over the gun and, wiping the blood from the white face, recognised it as Lloyd, the coward of D company. Reverently covering the face with his handkerchief he turned to bis "noncoms" and, in a voice husky with emotions, addressed them: "Boys, lt*s Lloyd, the deserter. He has redeemed himself, died" the. death of a hero—died that hi* mates might live." That afternoon a solemn procession wended Its way toward the cemetery. In the front a stretcher was carried by two sergeants. Across the stretcher the Union Jack was carefully spread. Behind the stretcher came a captain and forty-three men, all that were left of D company. Arriving at the cemetery, they halted in front of an open grave. All about them wooden crosses were broken and trampled into the ground. A grizzled old sergeant., noting this destruction, muttered under his breath; "Curse the cowardly blighter who wrecked those crosses I If I could only get these two hands around his neck his trip West would be short" The corpse on the stretcher seemed to move, or It mtght have been the wind blowing the folds of the Union Jack. CHAPTER XXV. Preparing for the Big Push. Rejoining Atwell after the execution I had a hard tlrae trying to keep my secret from him. I think I must have lost at least ten pounds worrying over the affair. Beginning at seven in the evening It was our duty to patrol all communication and front-line trenches, making note of unusual occurrences, and arresting anyone who should, to us, appear to be acting in a suspicious manner. We slept during the day. Behind the lines there was great activity, supplies and ammunition pouring in, and long columns of troops constantly passing. We were preparing for the big offensive, the forerunner of the battle of the Somme or "Big Push." The never-ending stream of men, supplies, ammunition and guns pouring into the front lines made a mighty spectacle, one that cannot be described. It has to be witnessed with your own eyes to appreciate Its vastness. At our part of the line the influx of supplies never ended. It looked like a huge snake slowly crawling forward, never a hitch or break, a wonderful tribute to the system and efficiency of Great Britain's "contemptible little army" of Ave millions of men. Huge fifteen-Inch guns snaked along, foot by foot, by powerful steam tracttors. Then a long line of "four point five" batteries, each gun drawn by six horses, then a couple of "nine point two" howitzers pulled by immense caterpillar engines. When one of these caterpillars would pass me with Its mighty monster In tow, a flush of pride would mount to my face, because I could plainly read on the name plate, "Made In U. S. A.," and I would remember that if I wore a name plate It would also read, "From the U. 8. A." Then I would stop to think how thin and straggly that mighty stream would be If all the "Made In U. S. A." parts of It were withdrawn. Then would come hundreds of Umbers and "G. S." wagons drawn by sleek, well-fed mules, ridden by sleek, well-fed men, ever smiling, although grimy with sweat and covered with the fine, white dust of the marvelously well-made French roads. What a discouraging report the German airmen must have taken back to their division commanders, and this stream is slowly but surely getting bigger and bigger every day, and the pace is always the same. No slower, no faster, but ever onward, ever forward. Three weeks before the big push of July 1—as the battle of the Somme has been called—started, exact duplicates of the German trenches were dug about thirty kilos behind our lines. Bloodhounds In Ancient Days. In Old England, before the day when men could write, banting was an important factor in providing meal' for the family table. The bloodhound was held by a strong rope, and the dog would go ahead of the nan .and the animal, with nose to the ground, would* sturdiest could survive under sues > • . ; • * £ *<* > . - • . **TT»> <r-.'. > » J v KKs**: HMr£$L*£&£ •*fc* , » S-* - t % < * - ^ • - ' . « • * • ; *"M • » * • -*. *•*'-.: h * - follow the scent of a deer and track It to a thicket The dog was then taken in a circle around the thicket to tod whether the deer had made an exit ©u the other side. If no trace was found the game was then said to be harbored. Then the deerhounds, of the greyhound type, that hunt by sight only, were brought up by the huntsmen and the race was on.. The bloodhounds never entered the race. The layout of the trenches was taken from airplane photographs submitted by the Koyal flying corps. The trench* es were correct to the foot; they showed dugouta, saps, barbed wire defenses and danger spots. Battalions that were to go over in the first waves were sent back for three days to study these trenches, engage In practice attacks and have night maneuvers. Each man was required to make a map oft the trenches and familiarize himself with the names and location of ttiejmrts his battalion was to attack. In the American army noncommit* sioned officers are put through a course of map making or road sketching, and during my six years' service In the United States cavalry I had plenty of practice in this work, therefore mapping these trenches was a comparatively easy task for me. Each man had to submit bis map to the company commander to be passed upon, and ] was lucky enough to have mine selected as being sufficiently authentic to use in the attack. No photographs or maps are allowed to leave France, but In this case It appealed to me as a valuable souvenir of the great war and I managed to smuggle it through. At this time It carries no military importance as the British lines, I am happy to say, have since been advanced beyond this point, so In having it in my possession I am not breaking any regulation or cautions of the British army. The whole attack was rehearsed and rehearsed until we heartily cursed the one who had conceived the idea. The trenches were named according to a system which made it very simple for Tommy to find, even In the dark, any point in the German lines. These imitation trenches, or trench models, were well guarded from observation by numerous allied planes which constantly circled above them, No German airplane could approach within observation distance. A restricted area was maintained and no civilian was allowed within three miles, so we felt sure that we had a great surprise In store for Frits.

Winter, In the Chris tlan Herald, PROPER HANDLING OF EGGS Enormous Loss Can Be Prevented by Taking Necessary Precautions in Marketing. (Prepared by the United Statea Department or Agriculture.) Millions of eggs produced in this country feed no one. The natural question is, Why? And the answer is that they are carelessly handled, poorly packed in Improperly constructed cases, badly stored in freight care, or allowed to become warm on their Journey from the hen's nest to* the home. Prevent this enormous loss of valuable food and loss of profits. Take every possible precaution to keep eggs fresh and wholesome, us they are when Wrong and Right Way Eggs. of Packing freshly laid. It's easy to get eggs to market In prime condition. A stale egg pleases no one. Heat Is the egg's enemy; cold Is its friend. Precooling eggs before shipping them, therefore, saves food material. It checks the development of "bloodrings." which occur in fertile eggs subject to Incubating temperature (88 degrees or higher). It prevents "addled" eggs, the term applied to eggs when the membrane between the yolk and the white breaks, allowing the two to become mixed. When the eggs are warm this delicate membrane becomes soft, - In which condition It la more liable to break by jars which are unavoidable In transportation. Chilling makes the eggs stiff and Jellylike, and cold eggs ride best. Precooling retards evaporation, the cause of shrunken eggs. Eggs Just laid are full, but 66 per cent of their contents Is water. As this water evaporates, the quality of the eggs is reduced. Warm temperatures aid evaporation. Precooling helps to make a uniform product, and this is a day of standardisation. A weak-spot tn the egg trade Is the lack of uniformity or standardization for its product. If each case of eggs received at the market was exactly like the last one, the shipper could establish a reputation for uniformity. Eggs to be shipped should be well packed In clean, standard egg cases. They should be kept under refrigeration and sent to market In properly iced refrigerator cars which retain their good quality. Refrigeration during transit maintains quality, weight, fresh appearance and food value. It retards loss of quality, shrinkage* "blood-rings" and loss Of food value.

The military situation demands that every available ship be placed &\ the disposal of the Army or Navy, When we save sugar, we save shipping. r South Iosco Charlie Rutman who has been sick for the last three months is much b e t - ter.

When phosphoric a d d and 1 ^rn<-l\ were used the gain over and ahove th:» cost of fertilizer w a s $12.7&— this in spite of the fact that a heavy clov, r sod was turned under once in thiv' years.

BAPAUME, NOYAN AND 1UVIGNY NAVE FALLEN TO THE ALLIED ARMIES Vast German Armies Are Retreating Eastward Toward the Belgium Border Back to the Rhine—Many Prisoners and Guns Captured. WHOLE GERMAN LINE FROM S C A M TO SOISSON REGION TORN TO FLINDERS Have Dashed Four Miles Beyond Bapauma to HapHncourt—Haig Reaches the West Bank of the Somme On a Wide Stretch. London—Field Marshal Haig reports that along the whole front from Bapaume southwards the Germans have been forced to retreat >rith great loss in prisoners, guns and material. The British have reached the west bank of the Somme opposite Brie and Peronne. The text of the report follows: "Successful attacks delivered by the fourth, third and first British armies have rendered the enemy's positions on the old Somme battle* field untenable. "On the whole front from Bapaume. southwards the enemy has been forced to abandon, with great loss in prisoners, guns and material, as well as killed and wounded, the ground he gained at such heavy cost in Last March and April. We have reached the west bank of the Somme opposite Brie and Peronne and have taken them." Sspaume Falls to Allies. London — Bapaume, Noyon and Juvlgny, the main bastions In the 85- mile German stop-gap line for which a titanic battle has raged for a week have fallen to the Allies. Combles and Nesle are reported taken and the French stand before Ham, while the British have dashed four miles beyond Bapaume to Haplincourt. The west bank of the Somme is reported to have been reached along a wide stretch. Peronne is doomed. It may have fallen by this time. The whole German line from the Scarp* down to Solssons region has been torn to flinders, and fully 1,000,- 000 -field-gray fighting men are fleeing eastward, ever eastward, toward the Belgian border—toward the Rhine. Baek across the Somme they most flee before another night settles upon the "desert of the dead." Back to the CambraJrSt Quentin-Laon line, whence they surged westward in their super-drives of last spring. "Naeh Amiens," and "Nach Parts," they are staggering, stunned by the merciless blows of the Allies, of whom a couple of brief months ago it was written in the Berlin bible, the North German Gasette, that there was "no punch toft in them" From the ancient cathedral of Noyon, erected on the site of a church built by Pepin the Short, through the cracks ripped by many a sacrilegious shell, rang out lately a solemn chant; a special service of gratitude was celebrated. From the top of the town hall the tri-coior flattered lustily in the evening brews, proclaiming deliverance of the d t y where Charlemagne was crowned; where Calvin was born; where the Merovingians once held sway, and and where this summer the Kaiser's generals, over French Champagne, were fixing the day for the fall of Paris. Thirty-six miles to the northwest. In the shambles that was once the flourishing city of Bapaume, French women and children and old men who for nearly half a year have been slaves of the Invader, kissed the hands of husky "rtmmUti* and babbled nebbing thanks tor the Liberation of the town where France, in 1871, suffered one of her wont defeats. But such scenes, though they took place this very day, are almost a memory now, so fast are things developing on the field of battle, Foch i s marching with seven-league boots. The real Hlndenburg line—Dousi- Cambrai-St Quentfh-La Fere-Laon—Is his objective, and until it is reached there will be no stopping. In its forefield the Germans may be expected to make their final stand. That battle, WAR COSTS U. 8. 9800 A StCONO.

With the French Armies in France—The ruins abandoned by the Germans previously were carefully filled with mustard gas For this reason Roye is still inaccessible for occupation. The Germans were not able to use all the gas projectiles they brought to the present front, and large dumps of them fell Into French hands. They are now being fired against the enemy from some of the hundreds of German guns the French First Army has taken since August 9. unless all signs are deceiving, will be Armageddon's last round. At Haplincourt, four miles east of Bapaume, where the British are reported they are only 17 1-2 miles southwest of Cambral. Byng's left wing southeast of Arras is only 14 miles northwest of Cambral. The French, before Ham, are some XI miles southwest of St Quentin. The British army which links up with the French east of Chaulnes is little more away from it The British stand on the west bank of the Somme opposite Brie and Po. ronne, while the French have pushed their lines up to the western embankment of the canal Du Nord, where only two miles of front, between Catigny and Sermalse is still stubbornly defended by the Teutons. Pressing eastward from Noyon, the French bit themselves into the western slopes of Mont Simeon. They captured Landrieourt and Morllncourt, the Paris war office was able to announce. On the southern end of the battle line the French, aided by Americans, creased the Attette at many places north and south of Champs, overcoming fierce German resistance, Guny and Pont St. Mard were captured. The New Zealanders who captured Bapaume didn't stop a second. They dashed straight through and beyond he shell-battered town. The heaviest fighting rages around Vraucourt four miles northeast, and in front of Haplincourt, Jour miles to the east Four and a half miles to the northwest of Peronne, the British have captured the little town of Hem, not to be confused with Bam, one of the strong points In Lodendorff's stopgap Line.

Haywood, "unarowned king'' of the Industrial Workers of the World, and 14 of hia chief aids in the conspiracy to overturn the American war program, were sentenoed to 10 years hi the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan., by Federal Judge K M. L&ndia here late August 30. Ten-year sentences were Imposed on 33 of the organisation's leaders, five-year sentences on 33, one year and one day on 12 defendants and 10- day sentences on two others. Cases against Benjamin Schaeger, Chicago writer, and Pietro Nigra, Spring Vllley, 111., were continued. Sentenced On Four Counts All sentences on the four counts in the indictment will run concurrently. Pines ranging from $20,000 on Hay wood and hia chief aides, down to $5,- 000 were imposed.

"In times of peace you have a legal light to oppose, by free speech, preparations for war. But when war has been declared that right ceases forthwith," was the court's closing remarks. Deep Silence In Court Room There was a deep silence in ths courtroom as Haywood and his 14 chief assistants were called before the bar. As "Big Bill" arose from his seat, a group of women who had been weeping, started a mild ovation which was quickly silenced. George Andreytchine, the young Russian poet whose stormy career since his exile from Russia for plot, ting a revolution is an outstanding phase of the t. W.

[priees Washlnffton, Aug. 7.—Senator Reed Smoot of Utah, who has in the past year kept in close touch with the Food Administration, especially in the lines of Its activities which affected sugar beets or other phases of the* western agricultural production, and whose co-operation haa been of great value in dealing with western food questions, recently made the following comprehensive statement: The Food Administration is an emergency organization that has lived up to its war-obligations to the fullest extent. Before It lay tha tremendous task of so managing the Nation's food supply that we a t home here would have eacragh, while we fed our armed forces and the Allies. How well it has accomplished that task, is proved by the fact that our cause is going on to ultimate triumph in Europe, a triumph, that would have been Impossible without t h e aid extended from those shores by shipment of food. Although there has been some,criticism of the Food Administration in the Senate, there has boon no word of criticism concerning the manner in which it has furnished food to the Allies, which was our country's greatest war oWigAtioiL No one can doubt m i • - n » m i. ii that it has succeeded. H a d our Teo* pie consumed wheat as they were accustomed to in normal times there would have been only from 20,000,000 to 25,000,000 bushels for export a s tht surplus of the 1917 crop. Instead, we have already sent nearly 150,000,000 bushels, and before the 1918 crop is available it is hoped that this figure will stretch to 170,000,000. This e x ' cess has been saved by the people of the country, as a result of the food, conservation campaign, and It has been the absolute salvation of the Allies. Before the war the United States had almost ceased to be a food-ex. porting nation, while the nations of Shirope imported heavily. This coun* try then supplied about 10 per cent of their food deficit. In 1917 it supplied about 50 per cent, although the food reserves of our nation had been dr&ined by the demands of other war years and the crop was slightly de*' flcient. From t h e 1918 crop, unless shipping facilities increase more rapidly than the public pronouncement of today would indicate, the United States may be called upon to supply more nearly 100 per cent of the Allied food deficit. This may have to be done at a time when millions of our young men have been taken from the farms for the Army and waMndustries. It is likely that we shall be this year at the peak of agricultural production and that next year will see a fall, because of lack of labor at home. In that case we shall be doubly in need ol such management of our food resources as the Food Administration has proved it can give us. Measured in terms of nutritive or life-sustaining, value, the 1917 crop was 7 por cent below normal. Had this decrease amounted to 15 or 20 per cent there could be no question, that the Allied countries would have been lost. We escaped by that narrow margin. In 1919 we must escape again—and by a wider margin- Exportation of all meat for the calendar year 1917 totaled 1,694,242,- 000 pounds. The per capita consumption in this country for 1917 was 159.8 pounds, as compared with 167.8 pounds for 1916. In short, the differ. ence of 8 pounds per person, due largely to the food-conservation propaganda, aggregated almost one-half our total exportations to the Allied countries. Thepe is no doubt that, no matter how abundant the 1918 crop may be, we should build up a reserve, both here and on the other side of the Atlantic against possible lean years to come.

Cassimer Clinton •dangerously wounded. Mr. and Mrs. John Devereaax, of Howell, have received word of the death i n Prance of their son, Neil Devereaux, a member of the engineering corps, the result of wounds received in action. *The death of Neil is the first casualty among five sons of Mr. and Mrs. Devereaux in fhe Bervice. Philip is with the Sixty- fourth division at Camp Mills, Long Island; John with the engineers at Washington and Henry and Frank with the Eighty- fifth, Custer •division. The Devereaux family form rly resided in Hartland townrfhip. Some consumers say that we have found out thisau imer that we can disperse with street light. Why not save the money thus expended, and for the duration of the war use that money for more pressing needs? The advice is good and as the government is demanding economy along all lines it would help the war along to use the street light money for absolute necessities. After the war the Gdiaon Lighting company could be invited to furnish us with a steady, brilliant light and dependable power for 24 hours every day in the year a t less expense than we pay for a very unsatisfactory light and erratic service Mr. and Mrs. Albert Roberts of Mar- I ion received * t*ta|gMm Wednesday, j August 21 witteOHllBWwyces of the War j Department stating that their son Al- j b«rt LaVerne Roberts, had been killed! irf action on July 30.

In giving up is life for the honor of Old Glory he has done his" full share of daty for his friends, home and country. Another of the old and honored families of Livingston thus has an uncon- £olable grief to bear, but the knowledge that their son and kinsman has placed the family name on the Nation's Hon- • or Roll v. ill in no small measure lighten the gloom which now prevails with grief. CHURCH IN DARKNESS But fortunately not in spiritual darkness. For some weeks we have been holding our evening services one half hour earlier, hoping lighting facilities might be improved; but the shortening of the days and no electric current is seriously interfering with the church service. It is not consoling that the future holds out no promise of better conditions. Last Sunday our services were helJ In the dark as there was no current on. At the close of the service not a little indignation was expressed in regard to such treatment. Perhaps if it had been a dance instead of a church service there would have been sufficient lighting. Is this an honor or a disgrace to Pinckney and will it boom real estate? Let the public decide. F. S. Hurlburt, Pastor Cong'l Church.

PINCKNEY DISPATCH *-w- *7 J "c r* "\i .^ • 'itf•' i- t ~ x P. m% CANADIANS IN NEW OFFENSIVE CRUSH GERMAN LINE TWO MILES EAST OF ARRAS AD Along the Front Haig's Army Pressed Forward and Captured a Half Dozen Or More Villages Among Them Monchy-le-Preux, Guemappe and Wancourt THREE OF FIVE ALUEO ARMIES CAPTURE 30,000 HUN PRISONERS Both Sides of Bapaume British Troops Stormed Ahead Breaking Violent Counter-Attacks By Fresh German Troops* London—While the Germans were buoxiy engaged deiendiug ihem&elvea **auist attacks of Hnubh and Krench armies froin tue Ancre river to the region ol Soissona, Field Marshal Haig struck another Surprise blow over a new iront north ol the old battle zone. The new offensive was launched by Canadians trom east of Arras on the Bcarpe river, aouthward to the Cojeul. All along the front the British pressed forward, at places more than two miles, and captured a half dozen or more villages, among them Monchy-le- Preuz, Gueinappe and Wancourt. Across the Cojeul new Britlah attacks on the old battle front brought them to the villages of Mory and St. Leger, and farther south the small town of Favreuil, one and a half miles northeast of Bapaume, frim the British pressed on eastward about a mile. Farther south the British are reported unofficially to have reached the western outskirts of Thilloy in the nipper movement they are* carrying out against Bapaume. With Haig's men standiing well within gun range of the town it seems likely Germans will be forced to evacuate Bapaume in short order. Additional gains also have been made by the British east of Albert and on both sides of the Somnie river. In fact, notwithstanding efforts of GermanB through use of large reinforcements to hold them in check, British and French all along the line from Albert to Soissons have materially advanced their positions and carried further forward their plan of making the Picardy battle ground untenable for the enemy. 1 The French again are hammering away at environs of Roye, one of the strong points of the Somme-Oise front, the capture of which doubtless would cause the giving up by the enemy of the entire sailient from the Somme in the north to Noyon. Fresno-les-Roye to the north and St. Mard to the south of Roye both have been captured by the French, despite desperate resistance of Germans, and Roye, like Bapaume in the north, apparently is in danger of being pinched out of the line in an enveloping movement. More than 600 prisoners were taken by the French in the operation. Germans have thrown further heavy counter attacks against the French in the region north of Soissons, where the French continue their pressure northward in maneuvers which seriously threaten to outflank the Chemln des Dames and Laon sectors and to put the entire German line from Ypres to Rhetms in jeopardy. British Capture Bapaume. London—Byng's Australians went forward into the battered town of Bapaume. On both sides troops of the British Third army stormed ahead, breaking violent counter attacks by fresh German troops as fast and as often as they were launched. Byng's center crossed the Albert- Bapaume road along it* whole length —eleven and a half miles—and sweeped southeastward in the direction of Combles, a keypo it in the German main line of defense. The British are six miles west of it and a scarce five miles to the northwest, Mametz and Martinpulch having been taken by storm. At points advance ranged from three to four miles. Down along the upper edge of the Picardy battlefield, southeast of Albert, RawMneon's Fourth army smash T H R E E ALLIED ARMIES CAPTURE 30,000 PRISONERS BRITISH W I T H I N 1,000 YARDS OF OLD HINDENBURG LINE With the British Army in France —On parte of the northern battle front the British have reached points 1,000 yards from the old Hindenburg line, which seems strongly held. In addition to Grossing the Albert-Bapaume road at many places, the British have made progress southward a considerable distance, with the cavalry operating in front of the infantry. Resistance of a really strong nature seems to be diminishing at many places along the battle front. Never before, not even during the progress of this battle, have so many aeroplanes had such numerous targets for bullets and bombs. ed ahead with equal force and success, hurling Teutons from high grounds east of Bray-Sur-Somme. The report of the entry of Bapaume by British patrols came from the staff correspendent at the statement, filed earlier, makes no mention of this, but this announcement of the smashing advance along the whole line of attack fully indicated Bapaume was doomed. Bitter fighting raged slightly northwest of the town, in Favreuil, and around Mory and Groisille, three and six and a half miles to the north, respectively. British Make 19 Miles In "8 Days. Probably the greatest advance was scored due west of Bapaume, where Warlencourt was captured, the British were at Miraumont, more than three miles to the weBt. British entry into Bapaume marks one of the most important achievements of the whole offensive. The town lies 17 miles southwest of Cambrai, 14 miles south of Arras and 11¼ miles northeast of Albert. From Bapaume to the French fortress of Maubeuge, just inside the Franco-Celgian frontier, it is 60 miles. Moreover, at Baupaurae, the British now stand a little less than 28 miles northwest of Amiens, August 8, when the Picardy offensive broke loose, Germans, just outside Vorbie, stood a bare 10 miles east of that vital Allied have. Bapaume's fall, therefore, means a maximum British eastward penetration of 19 miles In 18 days. Allied Armies Continue Advance. Notwithstanding Germans have brought up strong reiuforcements on both wings of the battlefront, British and French forces everywhere have beaten off the enemy and continued their victorious progress. Many additional towns have been captured by Field Marshal Haig's men in the north, while the French have successfully overcome obstacles placed in the way and reached territory north of Soissons which adds further to danger of Germans in the Noyon sector and to their line running eastward from Soissons to Rhelms.

The report, which tells of conditions of living of three officers and 66 men of the Scorpion's-Crew, was-the first detailed word received since the gunboat was Interned for failure to leave Turkish waters before the 24- hour period had expired.

HUGHES QUIZ TO SHO W'PLANE G RAFT WILL SHOW TRAIL OF GRAFT THAT RUNS THROUGH AIR CRAFT PjiQOUCTAOH FROM BEGINNING. SABOTAGE, PROVED AND CERTAIN Report to Ohow Profiteering Extravagance and Criminal Waste of Materia! Used in Plane Production. Washington.—The report of the senate military nSmtrs committee on the aircraft program and publication of sensational evidence before the committee, Is simply preparatory to the big smash expected to come with the report of the Investigation conducted by Charles S. Hughes. Members of the senate investigating committee, who refrained from pursuing questions of personal or criminal responsibility in the matter of aircraft production, but cound not help but see the outcropplngs in the course of their investigation, and other investigators who hare gone over precisely the same ground covered by Mr. Hughes, confidently predict a report from him that will demand immediate and sweeping action on the part of the department of Justice. What they have found, and what they say Mr. Mughes has found, is in part: A trail of graft that runs through the aircraft production program from the beginning up to the present time. Sabotage, proved and certain, coupled with criminal acts in production of aircraft, negligence and incompetency that can only be arrested by the strong arm of the law. Profiteering, extravagance and criminal waste of materials of almost inestimable value to the speeding up of aircraft production and its consequent effect upon the strength and effectiveness of our troops In the battleline. The taint of graft in aircraft pro. ductlon Is said to be so Ingrained that none of the investigators thus far em ployed have been able to isolate the leads and trace them to their source. Mr. Hughes has had an exceptional opportunity to go Into the matter and bis known skill in following leads and arriving at results is the basis for the prediction In Washington mat his report will give concrete results on this subject. Sabotage, or the willful crippling of flying machines and the machinery for their production, has been proved by other investigation under government direction, and has been one of the known policies followed by the Hughes investigating committee. Its presence has been found in every branch of aircraft production, from cutting of spruce logs to finished aero. pianeB intended for military service. MAY DEPORT ALIENS WHO QUIT ARMIES In Order to Get Out of Military fter. vice Must Withdraw Their Intention to Become Citizens. Lansing.---" Aliens from countries neutral In the present war who have declared their Intention to become oltlaens of the United State*, are now to be given an opportunity to get out of military service, provided they havo not been finally naturalised," said Adjutant General John S. Beraey. "But in order to get oat of doing military service they must withdraw their intention to become eitisens and will be forever debarred from becoming citizens thereafter. This is under | changes Wo. t in the selective service regulations Just forwarded to local boards. "What disposition will ultimately be made of such persons is not yet known, "It would seem very probable that such persons will be deported, unless engaged In war work, because if they do not so engage, but are Idlers, or not usefully employed, they would be undesirable and subject to deportation on that account" STATE LEADS IN FACTORY COAL Michigan Has An Average of Nine and One-half Weeks 8uppty on Hsnd. Lansing—Michigan has fared better than many other states in the shipments of coal, according to the following telegram received by Governor Sleeper from State Fuel Administrator Prudden, who is in Washington: "At a meeting of state fuel administrators with Dr. Garfield recently information showed Michigan at the head of the list in amount of industrial coal on hand, having an average of nine and one-half weeks' supply. New England states next with nine weeks. Regarding bituminous coal for domestic use, orders have been placed with operators in all the fields from which we can procure coal and shipments of a large tonnage are being made each day. BOAT SEIZED WITH ALIENS ON Brought Into Harbor Where Records of Crew Will Be Made. TO BUY ARMY SUPPLIES IN SPAIN Credit is Opened For $60,000,000 to $70,000,000 Says Newspaper. Madrid.—El Liberal has announced that negotiations were proceeding for a commercial loan between Spain and the United States. "Spain," the newspaper declared, " is opening a credit of $«0,000,000 or $70,000,000, the United States giving as guarantee, the signatures of American firm exporting cotton to Spain. With this credit the United States will be able to purchase In Spain some of the products necessary for its army in France, without necessity of changing dollars into pesetas, thus avoiding reductions in exchange. . "Ambassador Willard and other American .officials have had several interviews with members of the Spanish government, and it is believed the basis of an agreement has been reached. An Atlantic Port.—Naval authorities have brought the steam yacht Zega into port, and placed her under armed guard, pending investigation of the status of several foreigners among her crew. Activities of enemy submarines along the Atlantic coast, naval officials said, have caused strict ex. amination of all craft with persons of foreign birth on board. Zega, it is understood, was bound from New London, Conn., for Eastport, Me. Apparently, not satisfied with papers of all members of the crew the commander of the patrol boat ordered the yacht taken to a nearby harbor, where records of some of the crew will be checked up.

Chairman Dent, of the military committee, lost a final fight for the Mc- Kenzie amendment for separate clarification of youths from 18 to 20. The house refused, 191 to 146, to recommit the bill with instructions to reinsert the provision. The amendment of Representative Madden, of Illinois, to bar government employes from deferred draft classification on account of their employment, was defeated 140 to 18. The vote was taken after an hour's discussion. Representative Reaves, of Nebraska, said civilians studying mustard gas at the bureau of standards were producing a gas that would be far more effective than that used by the Germans. An amendment by Representative Smith, of New York, to exempt from draft police officers in cities of 500, 000 or more population, was rejected. A "work or fight" amendment proposed by Representative Black, of Texas, similar to the one added to the bill by the senate, committee but modified to meet objections of organized labor, was rejected by a vote of 91 to 52, LEXINGTON CASHIER VANISHES Left Note Declaring 8hortage of $30,- 000 to 160,000 Exists. Lexington, Mich.—Bank Examiner Wiener has taken charge of the Lei* ington bank, following the disappearance of Cashier Theodore Wixon and the reclpt of letters ostensibly left by him stating that there is a shortage in his accounts of from thirty to sixty thousand dollars. Mrs. Wlxon is prostrated by her husband's disappearance. Wixon was ap- , parently a model citizen. He was not yet 30 years old, the son of Waldo Wixon, a well to do farmer of Worth township, and had the absolute confidence of every one dealing with the bank. The stock of the bank is held by a number of small holders who have made up any deficiency. The depositors will not lose a cent in any event. The cashier's father has announced that all he has is to be devoted to preventing the loss of anything to the patrons of the bank. Action of the stockholders has made the continuance of business without loss to patrons assured. Meanwhile officials of the bank have taken no legal steps against the missing cashier. No warrant has been sought and the only basts so far for the charges against him is the fact of his disappearance, the "confession" contained in the letters healing his name and the undoubted presence of the bank examiner. REVENUE MEASURE DELAYED House and McAdoo at Odds On 3 Per Cent Levy On Inoomee. Washington—Difference between the treasury* and the house ways and means committee as to levying of a three per cent differential on unearned incomes appeared to be the'bnly obstacle to completion of drafting of the revenue bill designed to raise $8,000,- 000,000 by taxation in the present fiscal year. Steps toward bringing about an agreement between the committee and the treasury were considered at a conference between Chairman Kitchln and Secretary McAdoo.

Synopaia.—Fired by the sinking of the Lusitanla, with the loss of American lives, Arthur Guy Empey, an American living in Jersey City, goes to England and enlists as a private in the British army. After a short experience as a recruiting officer in London, he is sent to training quarters In France, where he first hears the sound of big guns and __ makes the acquaintance of "cooties." After a brief period of training " Empey's company is sent into the front-line trenches, where he takes his first turn on the fire step while the bullets whiz overhead. Empey learns, as comrade falls, that death lurks always in the trenches. Chaplain distinguishes himself by rescuing wounded men under hot fire. With pick and shovel Empey has experience as a trench digger in No Man's Land. Exciting experience on listening post detail. Exciting work on observation post duty. Back in ryt billets Empey writes and stages a successful play. Once more in the front trenches, Empey goes "over the top" in a successful but costly attack" on the German lines. Soon afterwards Empey and his comrades repulse a determined gas attack launched by the Germans. His next experience is as a member of a firing squad which executes a sentence of death. CHAPTER XXIV—Continued. —22— On his left, in the darkness, he could make out the shadowy forms of trees; crawling on his hands and knees, stopping and crouching with fear at each shell-buret, he finally reached an old orchard and cowered at the base of a shot-scarred apple tree. He remained there all night, listening to the sound of the guns and ever praying, praying that his useless life would be spared. As dawn began to break, he could discern little dark objects protruding from the ground all about him. Curiosity mastered his fear and he crawled to one of the objects, and there, in the uncertain light, he read on a little wooden cross: "Pte. H. 8. Wheaton, No. 1670, 1st London Regt. R. F. Killed in action. April 26, 1916. R. I. P." (Rest.In Peace). When it dawned on him that he had been hiding all night in a cemetery his reason seemed to leave him, and a mad desire to bo free from it all made him rush madly away, falling over little wooden crosses, smashing some and trampling others under his feet In his flight he came to an old French dugout, half caved in and partially filled with slimy and filthy water. Like a fox being chased by the hounds, he ducked into this hole, and threw himself on a pile of old empty sandbags, wet and mildewed. Thenunconsciousness. On the next day, he came to; far distant voices sounded in his ears. Opening his eyes', in the entrance of the dugout he saw a corporal and two men with fixed bayonets. The corporal was addressing him: "Get up, you white-livered blighter! Curse you and the day you ever joined D company, -spoiling their fine record ! It'll be you up against the wall, and a good Job too. Get hold of him, men, and if he makes a break, give him the bayonet, and send it home, the cowardly sneak. Come on, you, move, we've been looking for you long enough." Lloyd, trembling and weakened by his long fast, tottered out assisted by a soldier on each side of him. They took him before the captain, but could get nothing out of him but: T o r God's sake, sir, don't have me shot don't have-me shot!" The captain, utterly disgusted with him, sent him under escort to division headquarters for trial by court-mar' tial, charged with, desertion under fire. They shoot deserters in France. During his trial, Lloyd sat as one dased, and could put nothing forward tn his defense, only an occasional "Don't have me shot!" His sentence was passed: "To be shot at 8:38 o'clock in the morning of May 18, 1916." This meant that he had only one more day to live. He did not realize the awful n ess of his sentence; hit brain teemed paralyzed. He knew nothing of his trip, under guard, in a motor lorry to the sandbagged guardroom in the Tillage, wher« he was dumped on the floor and left while a sentry with a fixed bayonet paced op and down In front of the entrance.,. -Bully beef, water and biscuits were left beside him for bis supper. The sentry, seeing that Be ate nothing, came inside and shook him by the shoulder, saying in a kind vofce: "Cheero, laddie, better eat something, YouTI feel better. Don't give np hope. You'll be pardoned before morning. I KBOW the way they run these thing*. They're only trying to scare yon, thafs afl. Come now, that*s a good lad, eat something. It'll make tto world leek different to jo%" The good-hearted sentry knew he was lying about the pardon. He knew nothing short of a miracle could save the poor lad. Lloyd listened eagerly to his sentry's words, and believed them. A look of hope came into his eyes, and he ravenously ate the meal beside him. In about an hour's time, the chaplain came to see him, but Lloyd would have none of him. He wanted no parson ; he was to be pardoned. The artillery behind the lines suddenly opened up with everything they had. An intense bombardment of the enemy's lines had commenced. The roar of the guns was deafening. Lloyd's fears came back with a rush, and he cowered on the earthen floor with his hands over his face. The sentry, seeing his position, came in and tried to cheer him by talking to him : "Never mind them guns, boy, they won't hurt you. They are ours. We are giving the Boches a dose of their own medicine. Our boys are going over m iikSj • * / > • ' ' • , - • . . „ ' • ** 1* • ' / * .• • < , ^rW^sW^^f r,f He Betrayed His Country. the top at dawn of the morning to take their trenches. We'll give 'em a taste of cold steel with their sausages and beer. You Just sit tight now until they relieve you. m have to go now, lad, as it's nearly time for my relief, and I don't want them to see me a-taLkin* with yon. SO long, laddie, cheero." With this, the sentry resumed the pacing of his post In about ten minutes' time he was relieved, and a D company man took his place. Looking • into the gwrdhonee, the sentry noticed the cowering attitude of Lloyd, and, with a sneer, said to him: "Instead of whimpering in that corner, yon ought to be saying your prayers. If s bally conscripts like yon what's spoilin' our record We've been ont here nigh onto eighteen months, and you're the first man to desert his poet The whole battalion is langhin' and pokin' fan at D company, bad Inch to yon! but yon won't get another chance to disgrace us.. They'll pat your lights oat in the mornln'." After listening to this tirade, Lloyd, l In a faltering voice, asked : "They are not going to shoot me, are they? Why, the other sentry said they'd pardon me. For God's sake—don't tell me I'm to be shot !" and his voice died away in a sob. "Of course, they're going to shoot you. The other sentry was jest a-kiddin' you. Jest like old Smith. Always a-tryln' to cheer some one. You ain't got no more chance o' beln' pardoned than I have of gettln' to be colonel of my 'batt.'" When the fact that all hope was gone finally entered Lloyd's brain, a calm seemed to settle over him, and rising to his knees, with his arms stretched out to heaven, he prayed, and all of his soul entered into the prayer. "O, good and merciful God, give me strength to die like a man! Deliver, me from this coward's death. Give me a chance to die like my mates in the fighting line, to die fighting for my country. I ask this of thee." A peace, hitherto unknown, came to him, and he crouched and cowered no more, but calmly waited the dawn, ready to go to his death. The shells were bursting all around the guardroom, but he hardly noticed them. While waiting there, the voice of the sentry, singing in a low tone, came to htm. He was singing the chorus of the popular trench ditty : I want to g"0 home, I want to go home. I don't want to so to the trenches no more. Where the "whiMbangs" and "sausages" roar galore. Take me over the sea, where the Allemand can't get at me. Oh, my, I don't want to die! I want to go home. Lloyd listened to the words with a strange interest, and wondered what kind of a home he would go to across the Great Divide. It would be the only home he had ever known. Suddenly there came a great rushing through the air, a blinding, a deafening report, and the sandbag walls of the guardroom toppled over, and then —blackness. When Lloyd recovered consciousness, he was lying on his right side, facing what used to be the entrance of the guardroom. Now, it was only K Jumble of rent and torn sandbags. His head seemed bursting. He slowly rose on his elbow, and there in the east the dawn was breaking. But what was that mangled shape lying over there among the sandbags? Slowly dragging himself to it, he saw the body of the sentry. One look was enough to know that he was dead. The soldier'B head was missing. The sentry had had his wish gratified. He had "gone home." He was safe at last from the "whizzbangs" and the Allemand. Like a flash it came to Lloyd that he was free. Free to go "over the top" with his company. Free to die like a true Briton fighting for his king and country. A great gladness and warmth came over him. Carefully stepping over the body of the sentry, he started on a mad race down the ruined street of the village, amid the bursting shells, minding them not. dodging through or around hurrying platoons on their way to also go "over the top." Coming to a communication trench he could not get through. It was blocked with laughing, cheering and cursing soldiers. Climbing out of the trenA. he ran wildly along the top, never heeding the rain of machine-gun bullets and shells, not even hearing the shouts of the officers, telling him to get back into the trench. He was going to join his company who were in the front line. 9 e was going to fight with them. He, the despised coward, had come into his own. While he was racing along. Jumping over trenches crowded with soldiers, a ringing cheer broke out all along the front line, and his hftart sank. He knew he was too late. His* company had gone over. But still he ran madly. He would catch them. He would die with them. Meanwhile his company had gone "over." They, with the other companies had taken the first and second German trenches, and had pusb«d steadily on to the third line. D company, led by their captain, the one who had sent Lloyd to division headquarters for trial, charged with desertion, had pushed steadily forward until they fonnd themselves far tn advance of the rest of the attacking force. "Bombing out" trench after trench, and using their bayonets, they came to a German communication trench, which ended in a bllndsap, and then the captain, and what was left of his men. knew they were in a trap. They would not retire. D company never retired, and they were D company. Right In front of them they oonW see hundreds of Oermsns preparing to rush them wftaj bomb and bayonet They would hare some chance if ammunition and bomb* could reach them from the rear. Their supply was exhausted, uud the men realized it would be a case of dying as bravely as possible, or making a rtm for it. But D company would not run. It was ugulust their tradi'i'jus and principles. The Germans would have to advance across an open space of three to four hund-od yards before they could get within bombing distance of the trench, and then it would be all their own way. Turning to his company, the captain said : "Men, it's a case of going West for us. We are out of ammunition and bombs, and the Boches have us In a trap. They will bomb us out. Our bayonets are useless here. We will have to go over and meet them, and it's a case of thirty to one, so send every thrust home, and die like the men of D company should. When I give the word, follow me, and up and at them. Give them h ! Lord. If we only had a machine gun, we could wipe them out! Here they come, get ready, men."

The Cardlfl giant was the huge stone image of a man which Farmer Newell of Cardiff, N. Y., claimed to have unearthed while digging a well in the autumn of 1869. After it had been sold to a Joint-stock company formed to exploit the wonder for show purposes, Barnum tried to buy it for his own museum, but his of* fer was declined.

HmWm5m- ON FOODLES8 DAY. "They think," said the Tiger, "that they have started a new fashion." •'What is a fashionV" roared Mr. Lion. "Pooh," said Mrs. Lioness, "I know what a fashion is. All ladles and lionesses uud small girls know about fashions." "What is there to know about them?' asked Mr. Lion. "Fashions," said Mrs. Lioness, "are fads." "I know no more now thun I did before," said Mr. Lion. "Too bad," said Mrs. Lioness. "I'll try again to explain to you the meaning of fashions. Well, fashions are passing fancies." "I'm still more at sea," said Mr. Lion. "At sea! At sea!" exclaimed Mrs. Lioness. "Why you aren't at sea; you're in the zoo. You're not even in the jungle. Oh, dear, oh, dear, has the summer heat been too much for you? You must rest. You must have something cool for your head." "Ha, ha!" roared the lion. "Ha, ha, ha, ha!" And he roared as hard as he could, while he grinned, a wonderful and very wide grin. "Whatever Is the matter?" asked Mrs. Lioness. "Just this," said Mr. Lion. "You were trying to act as If you knew so much and you tried to mix me all up. So I tried the same thing on you. You tell me what fashions are and I will tell you what I meant when I said I was at sea. I can assure you I didn't for a moment think I was at sea, or in the sea, or that the sea waB anywhere around me." "What did you mean?" asked Mrs. Lioness. "Pray tell me first. Ladies should always be helped first, spoken to first, etc., etc." "Oh, very well," said Mr. Lion. Well, when I said that I was at sea I meant that 1 was mixed up. I used that as an expression or saying, as people do when they mean they're very much confused. It Just means they're at sea in their minds." "Does it mean that their heads are covered with water?" asked Mra. Lioness. "No," said Mr. Lion. "It means that their thoughts are all mixed up and just as though they were lost at sea and didn't know where they were going—their thoughts don't know where they're going—that's what it means." "Oh," said Mrs. Lioness, "I understand, but it is a silly expression. Now I will tell you what fashions are. Fashions are styles and they only remain fashions as long as the styles are fashionable." Mr. Lion said this over to himself a number of times quite slowly. "I understand now," he said at last. "It's my turn to speak," said the Tiger. "Speak all you wish," the other animals said. "Weil," said the Tiger, "they've been having for a long time all sorts of days." "News ! News ! Extra ! Extra !M called Mr. Lion. "They've been having all sorts of days he tells us, and all sorts of nights, too, you might add. Some are rainy, some snowy, some warm, some cold. My, but you are bright, Mr. Tiger." "Patience." said the Tiger. "What have days to do with fashions and a new one which you spoke of?" asked Mrs. Lioness. "They have this to do with It," said Mr. Tiger, "and I will explain myself If only you will give me time." "Go ahead," said Mr. Lion. "Well," said Mr. Tiger, "they have been trying to save food and not waste It. They've been trying to have good sense and not throw anything away, and also they've tried to make use of everything, and so they could do all this they have had wheatless days, meatless days, porkless days and goodness knows what else. They think it's a perfectly good idea of their own and that no one ever had It before.

Through all these years Forrest had been endeaiing himaelf to all with whom he came in contact, because of hie bright and manly ways, his dear little fearless independent spirit and the strength of his affection for the home loved ones and every near and dear friend. During the past year he had attended the Phinfield school, becoming much inteieBted in hia work there and making good progress in his studies. He loved to attend church services and Sunday school whenever possible and for one so youDg (just past eight) beseemed to understand the principles for which they stand. Even at the last wiile suffering so greatly, he assented very quickly and sweetly when asked if he would like to baptized, the rite being performed by his pastor, Rev. Kills, on August 20. 1918. On Monday, August 12, while on an errand about the home, he hurt his foot slightly, as was supposed, but it was dressed carefully and apparently healed all right. But on the coming Monday he was stricken with lockjaw, and in "spite of the most tender rare from the loved ones and every effort on the part of the family physician, Dr. j -± Rowe of Stockbridge and Dr. C. -L. Sig- j + ler of Pinckney who was called in con- * sultation, his little life passed out on | * the afternoon of Tuesday, August 2'», : g lea\ ing in the hearts of those left behind a memory and a benediction. 1 here are left to mourn with the parent* his little sisters, a beloved giand- [ mother, Mrs. E.

Grand Rapids. & . Packers' Profits Are Regulated The public should understand that the profits of the packers have been limited by the Food Administration since November 1, 1917. For this purpose, the business of Swift St Company is now divided into three classes: Clang 1 include* such products aa beef, pork, mutton, oleomargarine and others that are essentially animal products. Profits are limited to 9 per cent of the capital employed in these departments, (including surplus and borrowed money), or not to exceed two and a half cents on each dollar of sales. Class 2 includes the soap, glue, fertilizer, and other departments more or less associated with the meat business. Many of these departments are in competition with outside businesses whose profits are not limited. Profits in this class are restricted to 15 per cent of the capital employed. Class 3 includes outside investments, such as those in stock yards, and the operation of packing plants in foreign countries. Profits in this class are not limited. Total profits for all departments together in 1918 will probably be between three and four per cent on an increased volume of sales. The restrictions absolutely guarantee a reasonable relation between live stock prices and wholesale meat prices, because the packer's profit cannot possibly average more than a fraction of a cent per pound of product. Since the profits on meat (Class 1) are running only about 2 cents on each dollar of sales, we have to depend on the profits from soap, glue, fertilizer (Class 2, also limited) and other departments, (Class 3) to obtain reasonable earnings on capital. Swift & Company is conducting its business so as to come within these limitations. Swift & Company, U. S A Memorable Vacation.

OVERDOSES ARE DANGEROUS Methed 1« Perfectly Safe, Avert Coons, if Spray Is Applied Ex. actly as Rules S«y. By OR. 0. H. COONS, Department of Botany, Michigan Agricultural College. East Lansing, Mich. — With the stress of the war, losses to the cereal crops from preventable smuts are demanding attention. As the result of excellent work by county agents It is encouraging to note that In some counties of the state fully 90 per cent of the oats planted this last year were treated for smut. This unparalleled Increase In seed treatment has come about chiefly by a simplification of the method to be used in treatment, whereby through the use of one pint of formaldehyde to 50 bushels of seed grain In a small atomizer a farmer can Formaldehyde as a gas has a umrkeo affinity for water. It cannot be driven out ot the solution by boiliug. Dilute solutions become slightly stronger cm standing exposed to evaporation. Formaldehyde wheu sprayed or sprinkled upon grain airs very slowly —not at all if the weather Is cold and wet. Airing should be done under warm conditions, preferably in the open where quick drying of wet grain can take place. Planting* If done immediately after the grain has been covered for the correct time, can take the place of airing The damp soil is greedy for formaldehyde and will take it up, removing all chance of danger. In North Dakota farmers wet the grain heavily with dilute formaldehyde and then plant immediately, using force-feed drills. This treatment is given in the fields and due allowance for the swollen condition is made. As formaldehyde is diluted with water its toxicity to wheat increases, so that at one part of formaldehyde to ten parts of water the solution is very Injurious. At greater dilution, one part to 100 to 200 of water, the action Is still more marked. From that point the toxicity gradually decreases. The effect of formaldehyde diluted one pint to 40 gallons (1 to 320) Is slight, provided the action Is not carried on too long. Best to Plant Immediately. . Formaldehyde shows a sort of cumulative action on grain, either when sprayed on the grain as a concentrated solution or when dried upon It as In the wet method. It seems .cly that HE WAS THERE TO SLEEP And a Little Thing Like the Building Burning Couldn't Rouse "Dutch" From Slumber. At camp "Dutch," as he was called, was reputably the biggest sleepyhead and most absent-minded individual existing. One night "Dutch" was. as usual, in blissful repose, when some of the buildings In the barracks caught fire and the alarm was spread rapidly to all parts of the camp, and the fire finally came alarmingly near the bunk where "Dutch" was dreaming of Bhootlog the Huns Into Hades. In hlB sleep "Dutch" finally got up and wandered to another part of the barracks, where he crawled into some one's bunk and peacefully slept on amid the roar and clatter, flames and smoke. Not until long after the building had burned to the ground and only cinders and ashes were left did any one think of "Dutch." After a prolonged search they finally found him, sweetly and blissfully sleeping with the cover pulled up around his chin like an innocent babe, and closely clasping in either hand his girl's picture* and a safety razor. HADLEY WILLING TO FORGET Subject of Dislocated Jaws Seldom Seletced for Conversation by Head of Yale University. Smutted Wheat on Left—Healthy Wheat on Right in a few minutes treat his grain for planting. In this new treatment all wetting of the grain is avoided and after the requisite covering the grain can be planted at once. But while advances have been made in the fighting of oat smut, it Is true that in spite of the well-known efficiency of sprinkling wheat with dilute formaldehyde (one pint to 40 gallons of water) to control stinking smut, wheat treatment in Michigan has never been widely adopted by farmers. This has probably come about from the delay that arises In waiting for the wet grain to dry, and in part has arisen from occasional Injuries to the stand which have resulted from the improper use of the treatment. In 1916 Kent county farmers tried treating wheat by the same concentrated method as has been found successful for oats. This treatment, as they used it, was extremely successful, the stands being good and the control of smut excellent. Laboratory teats-in 1917 and field teats in 1918 with spring wheat have shown that the concentrated method is safe if directions a r e followed. It is very evident that the concentrated method presents marked advantages as a time and labor saver. The use of the method In 1917 confirmed abundantly the experience of the Kent county farmers and many fields were treated by this method. There have been cases, however, where fanners injured their grain by this treatment. Study of typical cases of seed injury has shewn that in nearly all Instances the injury has arisen -from failure to- follow directions. The very simplicity of the method lends itself readily to abuse, The most common mistake made by the farmers was In applying an overdose. Because of the importance of finding the cause of this Injury to wheat and in order that this useful chemical may be safely handled in this necessary farm practice, experiments were undertaken to find the factors Influencing the action of formaldehyde. The following facts about formaldehyde will be o l interest in explaining its behavior: Formaldehyde, as sold mmmwrtaHy by honest dealers. Is a dear, stroegsmeUlng liquid which contain from » t o 40 per cent of formaldehyde gas. It usually carries from S to 15 j •f wood alcohol to prevent the tlaa of fwmfortneWehyde. the formaldehyde is largely present as paraformaldehyde and as such persists on the grain, even after months of airing. It is this continued action of the formaldehyde which makes It unwise to hold grain any length of time after treatment. We have looked upon formaldehyde as a gas which was hard to confine and which would air readily. We must rather look upon it as a compound which readily becomes stable and which airs slowly and then only under warm, dry conditions. Formaldehyde is a powerful disinfectant. It seems safe to predict that future experiments will lead to lessening of amounts to be used and to shortening of time of covering rather than to the reverse. It Is evident that the aboye facts concerning formaldehyde which have not previously been considered In the relation of the chemical to seed treatment must be borne in mind. If such is done seed treatment can be given by the simple, concentrated method without injury to the wheat. The following methods are recommended for use this year, but farmers are cautioned that it is necessary to follow directions closely. Concentrated Form aldehyde.

Thereby hangs this tale. The educator was sharing his stateroom on a Fail River boat with a pleasant gentleman who had otherwise slept on a cot in the open cabin, when, well along toward morning, he heard, coming from the upper berth, sounds of gagging and gargling and moaning. Jumping up and switching on the light he saw his acquaintance was suffering greatly. His chin was on his breast, his mouth rigidly open, his eyes tight closed and perspiration on his forehead. "Be calm, sir," cried Mr. Hadley. "I know Just what to do." Wrapping a towel around his thumbs to save them from the release, he clambered up beside the man, knelt by his shoulders, began to work the Jaw into its place—and then spent the rest of the night trying to explain himself 1 For it was only a case of nightmare. Another Understatement. In the Companion for May 9 there was a Joke entitled "Well Within Bounds," which has reminded a reader of an accident of her youth. We had a mean-tempered colt, she says, which we had all urged father to sell, but he would not. One morning when he was bedding down the animal it kicked him viciously. Several members of the family were in the barn, and they all ran to see if he had been hurt and to hear what he would say about such an unprovoked attack. Father, who, by the way, was not a Yankee, picked himself up, rubbed his yell-night fractured shin and remarked to the colt, "Well! Well! I'd think Just as much of you if you hadn't done that!" and then went on with his work.—Youth's Companion. No Older Than Your Pace, [a true in most cases.

Pinckrvey Dispatch Dear Editor and Readers: Camp Syracuse is situated about three miles worn Syracuse, N. Y. and covers About four square miles, but we have to live in tents. Each tent holds eight men. we sleep on ir on beds, one person to each bed. The camp was in poor shape when we arrived, on account of not being used very much. There have not been any men here until lately, since General Pershing had his men here. It is used only for gathering the limit and special service men to-gether and classifying them, acording to their ability. Men are coming in every day and frjm all parts of the United States. Some are not accepted and they are discharged. To*day our compamy had their examination and our "8hot8"as they call them It is divided into four classes, A,B,C,D. A, is for general service, "Over T h e r e , " B for guard duty, C for government factories and D goes home. I was lucky and got in class A, so I suppose I will be in France in a couple of months. 1 expect I will be sent to another training camp as soon a? possible, to be trained. For they are not doing so very much training here, that is general military training. We have pretty good feed here and I like the ?rmy life pretty well so far. Of course we haVe to be on the job and do some hard work, but that is all in the service. Now I have told all that 1 can, so will close, hoping to hear from any of my Pinckney friends, as a letter is pretty welcome here. Yours truly, Corp. Herman Vedder 30th Co. 3th Batt. Syracuse Re* t. Camp New York. State Senator Genesee Issue Claude Stoddard and H. ^A. Stewart in bitter contest for Republican nomination at primaries. A lively contest has developed in the Thirtieth senatorial district, between Senator H. A. Stewart of Flint, and Claude Stoddard, Richfield war campaign leader, both of whom are fighting for the nomination for senator in the Republican primaries. Senator Stewart'? dose alliance with the McKeighan-Blackney-Wertmen peltical machine and his championing of former mayor McKeighan as a character witness in McKeighan's trial have aroused the activity of opponents though Stoddard is making his camapgn on the grounds that for 25 years the senatorfihip has been a one-term job in this district Three years ago the machine was nil powerful in Genesee county and was responsible for Stewart's election two years ago. S nee then, it has lost caste as practically all its candidates have been defeated in the last two elections. Blackney was overwhelmingly defeated for re-election as school trustee and former Mayor McKeighan is awaiting 4eci*ion of supreme conrt as to whether or not he will serve a teem in Ionia for highway robbery as accessory.—Detroit .Free Press. Claude Stoddard of Richfield has an. nounced himself as a randidatw on the . Republican ticket for the i ffice of State Senator. We didn't ne*d to use those ^rords "of Richfield" Mallthe residents of Gp^es^o rcumty know who Claud* Stoddard ia, and ..sit is well known to jnany outside hit own county. Mr. Stoddard possesses an er.yiable reputation among his iellows and that reputation has been built up by years of hone s t and conscientious work. Always a armer, Mr. Stoddard started a general mercantile business in a small way and through the application of sound businessprinciples and sticking to the job early and late, he was eventually rewarded by a splendid business which soon grew to such a volume that he was forced to sell a few years ago to relieve himself of a burden which was growing irksome. Since then he has devoted himself exclusively to caring for hia farms, although he he has given much of bis time since we entered the war to work in the interest of the Red Cross Liberty Loan and other kindred object* for the upholding of Uncle Sam's good right arm. We have known Claude Stoddard for For Prosecutor, J. B. Munsell Jr. J. B- Munsell Jr. was born in Iosco township 30 years ago. He is a graduate of the Fowlerville High School, graduated from the Detroit College of Law in June, 1910. During his law school days and for a year after being admitted to the bar he was employed by the Michigan State Telephone company's contract department in tne capacity of office manager and late supervisor of collections. In June, 1911, when he resigned his posia ATTENTION! tion, the following comment was made about five years and have always found j by the Detroit Journal: him honest, unassuming and ready to J. B. Munsell, Jr., who for the past back up with his time and his sr.oney j five years has been employed by the any project that had for its object the betterment of local conditions and promised to aid in the moral uplift. In face of our knowledge of the man's reputation, and we know him as all know their neighbors, we are bound to declare that he would make first class senatorial timber and is in every way entitled to public support. We need more men like Stoddard in the senate. - Davison Index. Adv. County Y" Dear Friends: — As the representative of the Young Men's Christian Association in Livingston County, I want to! extend the greetings of this organization to you at this time.

Michigan State Telephone Co. in their contract in an executive position, has resigned to practice law. Since the spring of 19US, when he entered the company employ as a clerk his rise has been rapid, having been promoted to ofrhe manager within a year. Shortly after graduating from the Detroit college of law he become supervisor of collections. His business like methods and pleasing manner has'made many friends both for himself and the telephone company. Mr. Munsell has formed a partnership with Donald Van Zile and W. J. Hawley under the name of Hawley, Van Zile, and Munsell. with offices at 815 Ford Building. Early in 1913 Mr. Van Zile became assistant prosecuting attorney of Wayne county and Mr. Munsell returned to Livingston county. The following year he was elected circuit court commissioner over Judge Cole of Fowlerville, and two years ago he was re-elected without opposition. His legal and business training qualifies him to make an ideal man for the office of prosecuting ^attorney. She fact that the present incumbent has held the office for three terms and has so often expressed his desire to quit should aid you in deciding your vote at the Primaries, August 'J7. Adv JACKSON COUNTY FAIR The Jackson County Fair has the distinction of being the best county ftir in Michigan because the management thinks that a fair has greater developing influence in things worth while than any other medium, and their policy hss been to give their patrons a full week of solid education, advertisement and pleasure. Every one of the fifteen big departments is jammed full of the best things that can be produced, and stands as a demonstration of successful production, giving to their patrons an education that months of search could not produce elsewhere. Therefore a few days spent at the Jackson County Pair is so valuable that none could afford to miss it. Hence the big crowds daily. Betides the beat of education, there is provided clean amusement as "all work and no play" becomes tedious. This year's amusements will excel anything heretofore attempted. Beginning at 10 A. M. and continuing until the close of each day will find entertainment to educate, to amuse, and to thrill, so that the policy to have something doing very minute wiil be carried out to the perfect satisfaction of the public, and there is no doubt but the 1918 Fair wilt exemplify their motto—Bigger, Better each year.

AMERICANS NOW HOLDING ENTIRE AISNE FRONT German Aviators Attack U. S. Red Cross Base Killing Three Doctors and Four Men Whom They Were Attending - T w o U. S. Aviators Meet Death. Paris—Gradually the famous Ly8 salient in the region west of Armentleres Is giving way under pressure of the British. Again Field Marshal Haig's forces have compelled the enemy to seek ground to the eastward where he will be more secure from shells of big guns that for several weeks have been firing criss-cross over the entire salient, working havoc among defenders of the Insecure line. Likewise Germans are being given no rest by the Franco-British forces north and south of the Somme and French and Americans along the Vesle and Americans in Lorraine also are harassing them by artillery fire and local attacks. Nowhere has the enemy had the better of an encounter. Over a front of four miles, between Bailleul and Vleux Berqutn, on the Lys sector, the British have forced back the Germans to a depth ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 yards! taking the village of Outtersteen and 400 prisoners. A little to the south along the Lys river, near Merville, the British also have advanced their line, and still farther south, betwen Arras and Albert, Germans have lost under presgue, of further terrain near Bucquoy. While as a whole the German line between the Somme and the Oise rivers is holding, notwithstanding terrific pounding it is receiving from Allied guns, the British have drawn nearer the road leading from Chaulnes to Roye, between Chilly and Fransart, placing Roye in greater Jeopardy by attack from the north. At the same time to the south of Roye, over the four-mile front, between Beuvraignes and Canny-sur- Matz, a violent artillery duel is raging between the French and Germans. It is in this region the French are endeavoring— and in their initial efforts they have met with considerable success— to carry forward their two fold purpose of outflanking both Roye and Lassigny by a drive eastward In the dlrectioL of the road leading southeastward from Roye to Noyon. Along the Vesle river front, where Americans and French are holding the line against Germans, there has been considerable reciprocal artillery shelling, but with the weight of gun power and of shells resting with Allied troops. They gave the enemy two shells for one. An indication the German line immediately in front of the French and Americans is thinly held is the fact American patrols at various points have penetrated sectors to the enemy's barbed wire and trenches without encountering infantrymen. In Lorraine, where Americans captured the village of Frapelle, near S t Die Saturday morning, they have pressed, on and gained more ground notwithstanding heavy bombardment by the enemy. CENTRAL POWERS HINT PEACE OFFENSIVE BY CHRISTMAS, REPORT FROM BERLIN London.—"Peace before Christmas" was discussed at the Teuton Kaisers | conference at German headquarters in the field, according to the Amsterdam correspondent of the Daily Express, who adds that an official announcement to this effect was issued at Berlin. A peace offensive is to be launched immediately by the Central Powers, principal purpose in view beinx to show the people of Germany and Austria-Hungary, by an Allied rejection of Teutonic peace offer, that the Allies intend to annihilate the Central Powers. The scheme is to strengthen the fast waning war will of the Teutonic peoples, and steel them for horrors and hardships of another war winter. The Berlin official statement also announces that the Austrian Archduke Charles is to be king of Poland. German newspapers hint that the forthcoming Teutonic peace offer will include the evacuation of Belgium. It is further reported that it was decided to place the armies of Germany and Austria-Hungary under a single German command. Turkey and Bulgaria are said to have been invited to place their armies under the same German central leadership. VrVWirVWVVVWVWwVWW'wVVW Michigan News Tersely Told g American Plane* Qo Down In Fight With the Americans on the Vesle— Troops on this front near Fismes, saw a spectacular air battle among the clouds 8unday morning while waiting for the cooks to diah up "chow." The fight began at 11 o'clock, when five American planes, flying down to the line on a patrol, were atacked by eight Germans just south of our lines. Suddenly, amid the circling, we saw two planes crash together, apparently bang suspended in the air for two or three seconds, and then fall apart, plunging earthward. It was easy to observe as they started to fall that the wings on one side of one plane had been completely chipped off. Both fell In the wdod southeast of Fismes. We learned later both were Americana. The other Americans withdrew and our anti-aircraft batteries turned a henry fire on the Germans, A report came later from the front line that one German was hit and apparently brought down out of control near U. 3. Boys Slain Under Red Croat. With the Americans on the Vesle— The Germans three times in the 48 hours showed utter disregard for the Red Cross flag. On two consecutive nights they bombed one of our field hospitals standing alone in the center of a big field and plainly marked with a big red cross. Luckily, all bombs fell in soft earth, though one German who slowly circled the building, dropped eight within a short distance while operations were being performed Inside. A chaplain told me how, while he was administering the last rites to our dying, near a field dressing station, a German observation plane Bwooped very low over the building, which is a farm house standing far from any woods or villages where troops possibly might be quartered, and which has a huge red cross in cloth tacked across its roof. The German machine rose, apparently signaling the enemy's artillery, and three minutes later a dosen shells descended upon the building. One struck squarely in the dressing station, killing all three doctors and four men whom they were attending. Ten others waiting in line also were killed. The chaplain who told me of the attack was blown across the road. American Capture Town.

Synupsia.—Fired by the sinking of the Lusitania, with the loss of American lives, Arthur Guy Empey, an American living in Jersey City, goes to England and enlists as a private in the British army. After a short experience as a recruiting officer in London, he is sent to training quarters in France, where he first hears the sound of big guns and makers the acquaintance of "cooties." After a brief period of training Empty's company is sent into the front-line trenches, where he takes his first turn on tHe fire step while the bullets whiz overhead. Empey learns, as comrade falls, that death lurks always in the trenches. Chaalaln distinguishes himself by rescuing wounded men under hot fire. With pick and shovel Empey has experience as a trench digger In Vo Man's Land. Exciting experience on listening post detail. Excithag work on observation post duty.

Soon afterwards Empey and his comrades repulse a determined gas attack launched by the Germans. His next experience it as a member of a firing squad which executes a sentence of death. CHAPTER XXIV—Continued. —21— After standing at "attention" for what seemed a week, though in reality it could not have been over five minutes, we heard a low whispering in our rear and footsteps on the stone flagging of the courtyard. Our officer reappeared and in a low, but firm voice, ordered: "About—Turn!" We turned about. In the gray light of dawn, a few yards in front of me. 1 could make out a brick wall. Against this wall was a dark form with a white square pinned on its breast. We were supposed to aim at this square. To the right of the form I noticed a white spot on the wall. This would be my target "Beadyr Aim! Fire!" The dark form sank into a huddled heap. My bullet sped on its way, and hit the whitish spot on the wall; I could see the splinters fly. Some one else had received the rifle containing the blank cartridge, but my mind was at ease, there was no blood of a Tommy on my hands. "Order—Arms! About—Turn I P i l e - Arms ! Stand—Clear." The stacks were re-formed. "Quick — March I Right — Wheel r And we left the scene of execution behind us. It was now daylight. After marching about fire minutes, we were dismissed with the following instructions from the officer In command: "Return, alone, to your respective companies, and remember, no talking about this affair, or else it will go hard with the guilty one*," We needed no urging to get away. I did not recognise any of the men on the firing squad; even the officer was a stranger to me. The victim's relations and friends In Blighty will never know that he was executed; they will be under the impression* that he died doing his bit for king and country. In the public casualty lists his name will appear under the caption "Accidentally Killed," or "Died." The day after the execution I received orders to report back to the line, and to keep a still tongue In my head. Executions are a part of Jhe day's work, but the part we hated moat of all, I think—certainly the saddest The British war department la thought by many people to be composed of rigid regulations all wouad around with red tape. But It has a heart, and one of the evidences of this la the considerate way In which an execution is concealed and reported to the relative of the unfortunate man. They never know the truth. He la listed In the bulletins as among the "accidentally killed." In the last ten years I have several times read stories In magaHnes of cowards changing, in a charge, to heroes. I used to laugh at It It seemed easy for ttory-writers, but I said, n«eu aren't made that way." But over I so fast In France I learned once that the streak of yellow can turn all white. I picked «p the story, bit by bit from the eaptain of the company, the sentries who guarded the poor fellow, as wen at from say own observations. At first I did not realise the whole of his story, hot after a weak of investigattott tt stood oat as dear in my mind as die moufttsins of my native Wast loth* spring ssBshlns. It impressed me ss m e * that I wrote tt all down in rest btOsbi on scraps of odd paper. A s sscMsnts are, as I say, every bit true; the feelings of the man are true —I know from all I underwent in the fighting over in France. We will call him Albert Lloyd. That wasn't his name, but it will do: Albert Lloyd was what the world terms a coward. In London they called him a slacker. His country had been at war nearly eighteen months, and still he was not In khaki. He had no good reason for not enlisting, being alone in the world, having been educated In an orphan asylum, and there being no one dependent upon him for support. He had no good position to lose, and there was no sweetheart to tell him with her lips to go, while her eyes pleaded for him to stay. Every time he saw a recruiting sergeant he'd slink around the corner out of sight with a terrible fear gnawing at his heart. When passing the big recruiting posters, and on his way to business and back be paased many, he would pull down his cap and look the other way from that awful finger pointing at him, under the caption, "Your King and Country Need You;" or the boring eyes of Kitchener, which burned into his very soul, causing him to shudder. Then the Zeppelin raids—during them, he used to crouch In a corner of his boarding-house cellar, whimpering like a whipped puppy and calling upon the Lord to protect him. Even his landlady despised him, although she had to admit that he was "good pay." He very seldom read the papers, but one momentous morning the landlady put the morning paper at his place before he came down to breakfast Taking his seat he read the flaring headline, "Conscription Bill Passed," and nearly fainted. Excusing himself, he stumbled upstairs to bis bedroom, with the horror of tt gnawing into bis vitals. Having saved up a few pounds, he decided not to leave the house, and to I at work on plans for new buildings to 8 h a m sickness, so he stayed In his room preptac* those razed by the guns, both in Belgium and in France. The smallest recruit In the barracks looked on him with contempt, und was not slow io show tt m many ways. Lloyd was a good soldier, learned quickly, obeyed every order promptly, never groused at the hurdest fatigues. He was afraid io. He lived in deadly fear of the officers and "uoucoins" over him. They also despised him. One morning about three mouths after his enlistment Lloyd's company was paraded, uud the names picked out for the next draft to France were read. When his name was called, he did not atep out smartly, two- paces to the front, and answer cheerfully, "Here, sir," as the others did. He just fainted in the ranks and was carried to barracks amid the sneers of the rest. That night was an agony of misery to him. He could not sleep. Just cried and whimpered in his bunk, because on the morrow the draft was to sail for France, where be would see death on all-sides, and perhaps be killed himself. On the steamer, crossing the channel, he would have jumped overboard to escape, but was afraid of drowning. Arriving in France, he and the rest were huddled into cattle cars. On the side of each appeared In white letters, "Hommes 40, Chevaux 8." After hours of bumping over the uneven French roadbeds they arrived at the training base of Rouen. At this place they were put through a week's rigid training in trench warfare. On the morning of the eighth day they paraded at ten o'clock, and ,, were inspected and passed by General H—:—, then were marched to the quartermaster's, to draw their gas helmets and trench equipment. At four In the afternoon they were again hustled into cattle cars. This time the Journey lasted two days. They disembarked at the town of Prevent and could hear a distant dull booming. With knees shaking, Lloyd asked the sergeant what the noise was, and nearly dropped when the sergeant replied In a somewhat bored tone: "Oh, them's the guns up the line. We'll be up there in a couple o' days or so. Don't worry, my laddie, you'll see more of 'em than you want before you get 'ome to Blighty again, that Is, if you're lucky enough to get back. Now lend a hand there unloadln* them cars, and quit that everlastln' shakln'. I believe yer scared." The last with a contemptuous sneer. They marched ten kilos, full pack, to a little dilapidated village, and the sound of the guns grew louder, constantly louder. The village was full of soldiers who turned out to inspect the new draft, the men who were shortly to be their mates In the trenches, for they were going "up the line" on the morrow, to "take over" their certain sector of trenches. The draft was paraded in front of battalion headquarters and the men were assigned to companies. Lloyd was the only man assigned to D company. Perhaps the officer In charge of the draft had something to do with it, for be called Lloyd aside and said : "Lloyd, you are going to a new com- LIQUIDATES DEBT TO FRANCE In sending Prune Trees to Devastated Country, California Is Repaying an Obligation.

English and American architects are and had the landlady serve his meals there. Every time there was a knock at the door he trembled all over, imagining it was a policeman who had come to take him away to the army. One morning his fears were realised. Sure enough, there stood a policeman with the fatal paper. Taking It In his trembling hand he read that he, Albert Lloyd, was ordered to report himself to the nearest recruiting station for physical examination. He reported Immediately, because he 'was afraid to disobey. The doctor looked with approval upon Lloyd's six feet of physical perfection, and thought what a fine guardsman he would make, but examined his heart twice before he passed From the recruiting depot Lloyd was taken, with many others, In charge of a sergeant, to the training depot at Aldersbot where he was given an outfit of khaki, and drew his other equipment He made a fine-looking soldier, except for the slight shrinking in his shoulders and the hunted look in his eyes.

The next day the battalion took over their part of the trenches. It happened to be a very quiet day. The artillery behind the lines was still, except tor an occasional shell sent over to let the Germans know the gunners were not asleep. In the darkness. In single hie. the company slowly wended their way down the communication trench to the front line. No one noticed Lloyd's white and drawn face. After they had relieved the company in the trenches, Lloyd, with two of the old company men, was put on guard in one of the traverses. Not a shot was tired from the German lines, and no one paid any attention to him crouched on the tiring step. On the first time in, a new recruit Is not required to stand with his head "over the top." He only "sits it out," while the older men keep watch. At about ten o'clock, all of a isudden. he thought hell had broken loose, aud crouched and shivered up against the parapet. Shells started bursting, as he Imagined, right In their trench, when in fact they were landing about a hundred yards in rear of them, in the second lines. One of the older men on guard, turning to his mate, said : "There goes Fritz with those d—-d trench mortars again, it's about time our artillery taped' them, and sent over a few. Well, I'll be d d, where's that blighter of a draft man gone to? There's his rifle leaning against the parapet. He must have legged It. Just keep your eye peeled, Dick, while I report it to the sergeant. I wonder if the fool knows he can be shot for such tricks as leavln' his post ?" Lloyd had gone. When the trench mortars opened up, a maddening terror seized him and he wanted to run, to get away from fiat horrible din. anywhere to safety. %» quietly sneaking around the traverse. !*e came to the entrance of a commun\t*tlon trench, and ran madly and bllnfly down it. running into traverses, stumbling into muddy holes, and falling full length over trench grids. Groping blindly, with his arms stretched out in frost of him, he at last came out of the trench Into the village, or what used to be a village, before the German artillery razed it. Mixed with his fear, he had a peculiar sort of cunning, which whispered to him to avoid all sentries, because If they saw him be would be sent back to that awful destruction lo the front line, and perhaps be killed or maimed. The thought made him shudder, the cold sweat coming out la beads oo his face. Empey learns that a streak of yellow sometimes can turn all white. He tells the unusual story In the next installment.

A Dumber of telegraphists promptly stepped to the rear, but the O. €. was surprised to notice Sapper Black among the party. "Are you a competent operator?" inquired the O.

We must realiae that we are deeper In this war than any other nation, for we have said, through ear President, that our peace is to he with the German people, not with the Honen«oHern. We have then the problem of providing the additional offensive strength need* ed to:defeat the greatest war lord in history with millions of trained veterfjet under his control. To do this, we must tee 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 sup. port all of the time. Now i« 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 oaoe, voluntarily and willingly get behind those who fight and die for us, in every phase dfour Hfe, and now particularly realize that food is powder to win the war, then we are going to fall in this, our immediate prenelng doty, and be a despised and humiliated nation. Ws mutt be a great united demoorsey fighting our way forward toward a final victory. There can be but one outcome of this war and we mutt steel ouratlvee for any misfortune, for any reverse, with our minds united and ftied upon the idea of a final victory. every modern convenience manufac- State au. structure of its kind in Michigan and when equipped wili be the acme of perfection. I Particular attention was given the; lighting system by the architects.' Windows were installed in but one aide of the building and the rays of light are distributed squally throughout th© room, coming over the lef: shoulder of the student so he may see his work without any effort. Heating and ventilating arrangements have been made on the most health ful basi.s, eliminating dsafta and effecting a uniform distribution of thV heat. The health of the students depends largely on heat and ventilation. A basement hot air furnace, with side wall registers, has been installed and the fresh air vents have been arranged to conform with this system. Every Mod«rn Convenience, Toilets, one of the moat vital features of die standard school, are of the latest approved designs. Two syaterns of the modern waterless typo have been installed in order to give the committees a selection. The water supply will be furnished from sanitary water coolers especially constructed for use in rural schools. The library will be provided by the state. It is being- selected under '.he supervision of Mary K. Spencer, state librarian, and will be adapted particularly to rural school need*. Seating facilities, cloak room equipment and every modern convenience of the most resent designs have been secured. During1 the ten days of the Fair attendants will be stationed in the building to explain and demonstrate the benefits to the scholar. Good health is the greatest incentive to quick preception and it with the id^a of benefiting the students of Michigan that Mr. Dickinson has taken particular interest In making the newbuilding as near perfect as possible. Novel Bed for Paralytics. One of the great problems in certain cases of spinal wounds with paralysis is how to move the patient sufficiently \ to make his bed and tend his wounds without increasing his sufferings by moving" him. The new bed solves the problem. 8urrounding the bed Just at I the edge of the mattress Is a rectac- [ gular framework of hollow metal piping. Connecting the two parallel Rides are broad bands of webbing stretched across the mattress, and on these the patient lies. The two short sides of the framework, the one at the head of the bed and the other at the foot are connected by a geared wheel with a vertical steel post so that by simply turning a handle at the head or foot #f the bed the framework, with the patient lying on the webbing, can be lifted off the mattress without his position being changed in the least.

At the approaching primary election, Michigan 1» to select party candidates for a United States senatorship. The rotors of the state la going about this business ought to give their first consideration and their last consideration h» the Question ot fitness. They should fcsk who among those that aspire Is Kiost likely to become a constructive factor In the upper house through development of the qualities of statesmanship? Considering the matter from this jrlewpol&t of efficiency and service, it seemi to The Tree Press that the moat promising of all the candidates in the 0eld, indeed the only promising candl- 4ate in the field, is Truman H. Newfcarrr, aspirant for the Republican »omination and at present serving his country In the navy of the United States with the rank of commander. Mr. Newberry has the temperament and the experience which make the foundations of good senatorial service. He has a varied and sound knowledge of practical business. He possesses clear conceptions of the big ecenomic issues and problems of the country. He has intelligent ideas on the theory of American government. He recognizes and respects the place of party and party alignment and party tradition m our political system. Mr. Newberry also knows something about Washington, and the demands and ramifications of official life there, for he spent some years of public service in the national capital, first as assistant secretary of the navy and later as secretary of 'he navy. This experience alone would make him valuable in the upper house of congress at the present moment. Mr. Newberry will not be a spectacular senator if he is selected by the people of Michigan to represent them. He will lack visionary fads. He never has titteel out a peace ship. On the contrary, he was one of the organizers of the Michigan State Naval brigade, he served In the United States fleet throughout the Spanish-American war, as he and his two sons are serving in the present war, and he has been a persistent believer in national preparedness. He is an orthodox, thorough-going American. Nor will Mr. Newberry be a specialist in fantastic figures of speech and extravagant rhetoric. Michigan need never expect to hear that he has been responsible for any wierd oratorical display. But Mr. Newberry will, if given the opportunity, make a cheerful, conscientious, business-like, efficient and, we believe, able senator who will command the respect and confidence of his colleagues and have influence with them. He will represent his state honorably and creditably, and he will give his country valuable service.—Detroit Free Press. my and ettminartoja oi wa«t« fcn tho consumption and in the h^mdjlng of foodstuffs aa well as Increased production should b« maintained throughout the European allied countries and North America. •'But it is only by conservation and elimination ot w a a ^ %h*t the transportation of fpod sdpptle* m?m North America to the European front can be accomplished and" that mocks of foodstuffs can be built up In North America as an Insurance ekg&iuut the ever present danger of harvest failure and the possible necessity for large and emergency drafts to Europe.

PLAN TO BE THERE ^3 UNIFORM PURSES OF 1500 Rivalry Among Three-Year-Olds In* tensiflcd Through Futurity Promoted By Michigan Horse Breeders' Association, Since the first Michigan State Fait in Detroit the trotters and pacers have been assigned prominent parts In the scheme for the entertainment of clti sens. There are men who w-fl) tell of the srort when state fair* were held south of the Grand. Boulevard in sections where nr>w are reel dential centers. Several cities have had the honor of being the home of the state fair and always the management has included hors'< racing among the sports that filled the grand stand. When the present grounds were laid out a mile track was constructed, and from the very first it became popular, For years racing was confined to its velvet surface and, upon the abandon' ment of the famous Grosse Pointe oval, the grand circuit staged its annual visit on this track. Some years there were two of these trips to Detroit of the equine kings and queens, but upon the construction of the half mile track inside of the larger ring G. W. Dickinson, Secretary-Manager of the Fair Association, decided to feature the lesser lights of turfdom at the State Fairs. Fair goers generally like the halfmile track performances better than they do contests on the mile ring. In the instance of Detroit this has been made plain by the monster throngs in the grand stand which prompted the management, to put on a program unexcelled among fairs. This arrangement releases the homestretch of the mile track and permits of the running of a horse show, in other words staging a continuous performance and introduclng types which include greatest speed at tho trot and pace, most ability in clearing the bars of the hurdle* and finest appearance when on parade before the critical eyes of the judges. The race program this year is one of quality. It will bring to the State Fair, Detroit, August 80—September f, not only the horseg that have •been battling for purse money on the tracks of the Short Ship Circuit cities, but a number from the Ohio circuit, from Ontario, Indiana, Illinois, and more distant state*. Uniform purses of $r>00 are pro- Tided for all of the regular classes, entries to which close on August 20, and there is a feature in the racing of the two divisions of the Futurity promoted by the Michigan Trotting Horse Breeders' Association.

He American troops are eating every I must be ready to do the thing that N' American soldier, hardly more than a boy, was reading a letter which had Just been delivered to him at a concentration camp In France. Six weeks before he had written to his father and to his sweetheart. The censor had mixed the letter from his beat girl and as he sadly tucked it away In his pocket he was heard to murmur: "I wonder what the old man will eay.H That is what the Y. M. C. A. wonders, as today the association addresses to ''the old man" an appeal for him to pick up stakes and follow his boy overseas to wear the uniform of the Red Triangle. Before September 1 the Y. M. C. A. must recruit 4,000 men and women to share the burdens on the western front with the more than 2,500 workers who are already there. To those who do not know that the British Y. M. C. A. has 40,000 workers in the British armies, and that the American Y. M, C. A. has been charged with the responsibility of providing recreation for the fighting men of the United States and keeping up their morale, It Is perhaps Inconceivable, says a writer in the New York Tribune, that the men of this country above draft age should be asked to give up their business to go overseas with thetr sons and their younger brothers who are not too old to fight. Part of the War Machine. The facts are clear. The outstanding fact is that the Y. M. C. A., while retaining its Individuality as a civilian organization, is an integral part of the military machine. And the association ts a part of the military machine not only of the American expeditionary forces but of the French and Italian armies as well. The Y. M. C. A. was in the great war long before General Pershing landed on French soil. General Pershing went to the western front with several clear-cut notions of bow best the American troops could do their part In the winning of the war. First, he determined that his array should be a clean army; he believed that the best use that could be made of a man in uniform was to put him in the fighting forces; he sought to transfer as many of the noncombatant functions of hi*, army as possible to some responsible agency. The Y. M. C. A. got the Job because the Y. M. C. A. had the organisation. Since then other volunteer organizations have gone to France to help. All are welcome. Salvation Army, Knights of Columbus and so on. The "Y" bears the brunt because of its size. Hut Keeper Does Little of Everything. This, man with the Red Triangle on bis sleeve is over draft age. The M F would not have him there if he were not. He has no rank, but even the officers salute him, because, they say, he Is there through the impetus of service. The sheila may fall all arouad Ma, hut It is extremely unlikely that the Croix de Guerre will ever he planed upon, his breast. He Is unarmed became capture by tLe Germans tinder auea-Xircumstances means death Immediately. ^ * a t is his job? Will, ail hut is the club ot the trench m bfttft The T " is the general store. It la where the men meet when they 4re not en military duty. The nan in emerge teHt or fives away some of the month in France. Or through his hands go some of the cigarettes and tobacco that are shipped to the western front In hundred-ton lots. When he is not too close to the front he runs motion picture shows and lectures in the evenings. If his billet Is a small one and there Is no sports leader assigned there, he leads the men In athletic games in which all may take part. And under the same circumstances it may be his Job to arrange religious services for Jew and Gentile, for Catholic and Protestant. He sends money back home for the boys without charge to them. In the "Y" dugout they write their letters, and the hut leader starts them on their way. He listens to tales of woe, answers questions by the hour, admires the picture of the baby that was born since father answered the call to the colors, and works about three hours a day longer than the working hours of the man In uniform. If he be assigned to the trenches near the front line, It is the "YM man's Job to make hot coffee and hot chocolate, late at night, fill his pockets with chocolate, gum and smokes and go through the communication trench to the front line so that the boys on watch may have their comforts from home. And if there be a listening post near by in No Man's Land, he goes there, too. The "Y" goes everywhere with the men except over the top and is not far behind then. The Kind of Men Not Needed. What kind of man is the Y. M. 0. A, seeking, then, in this drive to keep pace with the rapid expansion of the military establishment of the nation? Surely not the kind of which a sample appeared at the offices of the National War Work Council, 347 Madison avenue, the other day. "The Lord has closed all doors to rae," he began, "all except one, and that one opens to France. The Lord has made it clear to me that it is my duty to go over there and preach to those boys." It happened that the listener was James A. Whitmore,' who has been a Y. M. C. A. secretary for years and who recently returned from the western front with broad views Inspired by watching pastors of big city pulpits sell plug tobacco to soldiers on Sunday afternoon and the like. Mr. Whitmore was explicit in his reply. "Your kind is the last that's needed overseas," said Mr. Whitmore. "When you go to France for the Y. M. C. A. yon go on a blind assignment, to do whatever is moat important at the time and always to do what the boys in uniform want" comes to him to do. France Is no place these days for the man who thinks he has a mission. There Is Just one idea behind the whole work —and that is service, what our boys want and not what some missionary thinks they ought to have. The mac who goes overseas must be a man of conscience, Integrity and high ideals and ability. And he must realise that he is tackling the biggest Job that It was ever given man to do. "Second a man must go In there with the Idea firmly fixed in his mind that unless we win this war It were better that America should be annihilated than that she should retreat one step In the determination to prevent the barbarous Hun from imposing his unmerciful sway over the world and sweep democracy from the earth. "Third, he must be a man who believes In the war work of the Y. M. C. A. and can grasp the meaning of its wonderfully human and spiritual program, and who, seeing all this, can be enthusiastic about his Job and consider It a great privilege to perform It. "And last, he must be a thoroughbred— a dead game sport In the best sense of the term—who can go through the whole war game and not flinch, in spite of the slaughter, the blood, the mud, the discouragements, desolation and horror of it all. He must go through it all by the sheer good nature that sees above It his high ideals triumphant and democracy vindicated and scattering its blessings upon mankind." Scope of Work Boundless. The scope of the Y. M. C. A. enterprise is practically boundless. The association has gone far afield from Its traditional activities. Never in their wildest dreams of ^service have the leaders of the Y. M. C. A. conceived the possfbtitty of their becoming manufacturers of chocolate and purveyors of tons and tons of cigars, cigarettes and smoking and chewing tobacco. Yet today the "Y" sign hangs over the doors of more than 600 post exchanges in France. Because of the difficulties of transportation only three to four thousand tons of supplies can be shipped from America each jaonth. Hence the Y. M. C. A. has become a manufacturer by necessity. Raw materials are shipped from the United States and the completed products—chocolate, crackers, etc.—are made in France. The "Y" needs, therefore, not only business men who can sell goods, but men who are experienced on the manufacturing end. The scope of the work makes It possible for salesmen, warehousemen, accountants and clerks of Mr. Whitmore went Into details re-1 all kinds to go overseas and do their garding the Y. M. C. A. program of service, and as he proceeded the visitor palpably weakened. He thought that he would be willing to go to France with a revised point of view. In fact he said that he would be willing to do anything that he thought the Lord wanted him to da "Well," replied Mr. Whitmore, -In that case you'd still he a bit restricted. The Lord gives his message to only one Y. M. C. A. man In France—he's Ned Carter, our chief secretary—and you'd have to take Ned Carter's word for it that yon were getting the Lord's message straight," Type of Man That la Needed. And as the messenger whose message never will be delivered went on hla way Mr. Whitmore shot after him his notion of the kind of man who lsneeded In France today by the Red Trt- He said: "First of alt the man who is seat to France by the Y. M. 0. A. mnst or* bit In this war. Sports. If there is one thing that "the healthy American young man, in khaki needs most in France it la good, healthy sport Some of the most fa* rnous athletic directors and athletes of other years are In France today leading men in mass athletic games. Herbert L. Pratt vice president of the Standard Oil company, who recently returned from France to head the local overseas recruiting committee, is authority for the statement that "there is no job in France too smalt for the biggest man in any American community.' 1 "No president of.a railroad or a bank, or a college,'* he adds, *ao lawyer or minister ts too big for the job of taking care of our boys Mr. Pratt and others who have the work that la being done m France sum It all up by sarin* that it means to oar boys over there, first of America and homo. Wfwm mm , THE SEALS. "We have the same Mr. Seal whom »ve share between us," said Mrs. Sally Seal, "but our little baby seals are our >wn." "That Is ight," said Mrs. Susan Seal. "In fact our Mr. Seal is shared oy about one hundred Mrs. Seals^ We Jon't care to have a mate apiece— that's foolish for we are used to sharing a Mr. Seal and so we think it's all right that way." "I wouldn't like to* share the babies, though," said Mrs. Sally Seal. "Neither would I," said Mrs. Susan Seal. "You see how nice everything Is. Nothing happens which we don't like, and everything happens which we like." "It's a nice world," said Mrs. Sally Seal. "My babies were born on this very beach," said Mrs. Susan Seal, "and I was so interested in them that from the time I came up on this beach until four weeks or more had gone by 1 didn't have a thing to eat. Somehow I didn't think of food. I was so interested In the children and everything around me." "I didn't have anything to eat for about six weeks, I think," said Mrs. Sally Seal. "The beach is so interesting and when I come to It I like to stay for quite awhile. But then I began to grow restless and I knew tb« children wanted to be fed, so I went back and forth, back and forth." "The same as I did," said Mrs. Susan Seal. "And I do believe that all the other seal mothers did the same. Do you know that there is something about us which puzzles people r "I didn't know it," *dld Mrs.* Sally SeaL "Would you like to hear about it?" asked Mrs. Susan Seal. "I would, indeed," said Mrs. Sally Seal. "Can you tell me? Do you know what it is?" "I do," said Mrs. Susan Seal, "and 1 will tell you about it." "That is good of you," said Mrs. Sally Seal. And they both settled themselves on the beach, after they had had a little bite of fish for their luncheon and then Mrs. Susan Seal began her story. "People," she said, "are very much puzzled because the Seal children always know their babies. They think it is strange." "Don't mothers know their babies?" asked Mrs. Sally Seal. "Yes, I believe they do," said Mrs. Susan Seat. "In fact I am tare they do. I have never beard anything different and in fact I am positive they always do." "Then why do they think it is strange that we should know our own babies?" asked Mrs. Sally Seal. "Because, you know," said Mrs. Susan Seal, "there are so many of us and such lots and lots of babies. To every Mr. Seal there are about a hundred Mrs. Seals and every one of those Mrs. Seals, of course, has her own little family. So there are just lots and lots of children around the beach. It's different you see, from the way people live. Different mothers live in different homes so that the children don't get mixed up so easily. "They think because there are so many children along the beach that they're bound to get mixed up, and that because the children all look alike to them they must look alike to us." "Well, did I ever!" exclaimed Mrs. Sally Seal. "Of course, when the little dears come around we love and look after our own; we don't bother about the other mother's family. And the seals find their own mothers, the little pets. "Yes," continued Mrs. Susan SeaL "we know our darlings and they know us, and if people think it is strange all I can say la that I think it fa strange for them to think such things. "Our only trouble In life is the feat of the whale which tries to km us— but oh, for the most part we're very, very happy." And Mrs. Sally Seal agreed. "Yea, we're playful and we're good swimmers. We can dive and leap and almost dance. All seals, until they're four or five years old, are Just full of frolics and fun. But though we play and have a good time we always know our little children and can pick them out even though there are thousands of aeaia on the bench.** de- In the Stone Age.

During the Thrift Stamp campaign In July, 191S, a prominent citizen was sent into a backwoods farming community to arouse the people, and If possible sell Thrift Stamps. He was not expected to have much success with the sale of stamps because the people were very poor and illiterate. The effort was to be chiefly educational. The speaker found a dingy company of farmers and their wives waiting for him in an old held schoolhouse. He began his address with arguments for the support of the government reduced to the simplest forms. No one seemed -to llgten. The men stared straight ahead as If they had something else on their minds. The women fanned themselves and looked out of the windows. He changed his manner of speech to an impassioned appeal; no one was moved. He paused perspiring before making a last despairing effort. But before he could go on a tall, gaunt farmer stood up in the back of the house and waved his hand beseechingly: "Mister," he suld, "If you are done talking, give us a chance at them Thrift Stamp* so we kin sign up and • get back to the field." He gave them the "chance." TJiey bought nineteen hundred and fifty dollars' worth of stamps, although there wan not a man among them who owned property to the amount of two thousand dollnrs. "We own this land," the farmer said, addressing the prominent citizen grimly as he passed up the last pledge card, "we own all this country. The government at Washington belongs to us; we made It and it Is ours. The army in France Is ours, too; they are our sons. We sent sixty-two boys there from this district, and I reckon we know it Is our duty to work for them and take care of them while they are busy whipping them Germans." This is the best, most serviceable and intelligent definition of patriotism I have heard since this war began. Victory at Any Cost. This is the most expensive war ever known, still beyond our imagination to conceive of. The enormous destruction wrought by the submarines, the terrific sums spent for war materials, the loans to our allies, none of these things account for the Incredible expense. The real explanation Is that civilization demands that it shall cost everything. Never before has any nation spent so much to insure the health of its soldiers, never before have such provisions been made to safeguard a great army morally. More is being spent to equip hospitals, provide ambulances, nurses and doctors to care for the wounded than whole campaigns cost in former wars. Never in the history of man has such provision been made to insure widows and orphans and soldiers from the after effects of wounds and poverty. Formerly when a man entered the army to fight for his country, his country took his life, and that was the end of it If he was killed. Now the government pays, and pays enormously, for every man who lives or dies In this struggle. All this is so because as a nation we have developed a sense of justice and honor that regards any and every expense as secondary to the one tremendous obligation to its citizens. Our allies were compelled to fight Germany to preserve thetr very existence, but we chose to light her when we might have made & shameful treaty with her that would have Insured a shameful peace, because we are not a craven grasping nation, but a nation beltt upon Ideals, and It costs more to preserve an ideal than It ever coats to preserve peace, because you cannot buy them—you must achieve them. Nothing stands between the world and this catastrophe but the American people, thetr honor, their energy, their fidelity and their wealth. Our troops in Prance are only the sword arm of the nation. We, the people at home, are the body and Hfe of that army. If we fall at all, they must fail entirely. ; We a n about to make another loan of ate bfltloa dollars for war expenses.

Dear Kit and all: Knowing your useful- ' ness I trust that you will dictate this letter to the family, or rather ita important part. Now, 1 have been in a hospital for nearly' five weeks, but am all 0. K. now. * I had spinal meningitis. 1 was in bed a little over two weeks and was walking around in three weeks. 1 had a very mild case, so the doctors tell me but if that was mild 1 don't want a severe attack. . 1 was taken about five o clock m the afternoon and at nine 1 was m the hospital and at ten they operated on me. They told me that they got it just in time. . . , , I am in a French hospital and have two French doctors and one American. The French know how to handle this trouble better than the Americans because it is an old thing with them. They have French sisters for tmrses. They are about forty years old and they are certainly fine to boys, especially to the Americans. The French people like the America nt very much. I shall never forget the eister that took care of me. She stayed with me all the time when I was the worst. She was so good to me all the time and couldn't do enough for me. I am going to get her picture and send it to you people. It me left with only one good esr but he doctor has nearly restored the hearing so you see I am lucky to get out without' more trouble. I sure am a lucky guy; having lota of experiences. I maybe here in the hospital for several weeks yet but I am fine now, only weak and it takes a long time to get back to normal again so all I have do is stay here and take it easy. I can leave the hospital every day now and I take long rides into the country and visit many places of considerable intere s t There are many small towns all through the rtoontry. I cannot walk I much yet but am getting stronger every Those two letters I wrote home on that cheap stationery were written while I was in bed. You can tell for they were not interesting at all and they were short. I did not get any mail for four weeks while I was sick and a short time before so you can imagine how I felt with people who could not speak English but my French made it lucky for me. There is another American inhere now and I have to talk for him. We go ou t with a French captain and enjoy our selves very nuch. I get my mail very regular now so everything is fine. I do wish that you people could see some of the wonderful sights that I haye seen. This old world is Borne globe when you wander over it as much as I have lately. , Let me tell you about my Fourth. Our sister said to ua in the morning: "This is a Mg day for the American boys and you two poor fellows in a hospital far from home." So she went to work and decorated a room with flowers and French and Amereian flags and had a small table fixed with flowers and flags and gave us a real French feed. She fixed the daintiest little dishes for us. She sure did enjoy getting it ready and believe roc we enjoyed it also All of the sisters in the hospital came in white we were eating our dinner and had me tell them what the Americans do on the Fourth. I told them about the kfds with firecrackers, etc and how they did laugh! They think the U. S. A. a wonder fuL In the afternoon I went for a rid* and w nt bathing in the Loire river so I enjoyed myself very much. Say, Albert I had real Fronch wine for my dinner th* Fourth. You'd better come to France and bring Uncle Mark with you. The wine is great! Now answer by return mail. \ ou don't know how good mail seems heVe from home. Tell every little thing; j that is what I enjoy. I received youc letter witi the clip tags, Aunt Maude, and will send Mar iorie some cards soon. Now don't forget to answer soon. Alger J, Hall Co. C, 1st Army Hdq. Reg. American £. F. Wednesday, July 3 Dear Mother and Father:— I received your letter of June 4th last Saturday and was mighty glad to get i t We have just been out of the trenches a little while and as we have been traveling ever since. This is the first chance I've had to answer it. Trench life isn't so bad, especially where we were there was very little fighting going on. The artillery on both sides did a little shelling but the infantry just stood guard. I saw but five Germans all the time I was in. Two of them were more than a mile away*. I saw them throigh a pair of glasses. The other ones were out in our wire; they were dead ones. They were part of a hunch who came over the top to drive out the Yanks. The number of Huns was twice that of the Yanks. They were all equipped to stay and half of them did stay. The Americans killed more men than we had in our line. I guess that's going some. Every time the^ mix it the Huns catch Hell. Life in the trenches is not all sunshine. Sometimes we have to hike all night long with pack, rifle aud ammunition. At other times we have to stand from dark till daylight on sguard without making any noise and have to keep steady watch out over the top. The nights here are cold and when you are relieved you are half frozen. I am detailed as first aid man and litter bearer now. We take an hoar's instruction in first aid work every day. I think 1 will like it as I always had a liking for it. I wonder why Sue or Ed don't write. I've written them at least three times since I've been here but have not heard from them at alL I just got a ten page letter from Julia the same day I got yours.

Some of his cattle and horses were pasturing there and when he went to dinner they were all right Upon his return he noticed one of the horses down in the marsh. Further investigation showed the horse to be mired and quite dead. When he arrived home he found that the mate to the dead horse had been either kicked or crowded upon a aanure spreader and was injured so badly he could not live. Thus he lost a good work team in one afternoon—a practical demonstration of the old saying that "Misfortune never comes singly".

The words were spoken by a Washington woman who had been observing with some disgust the way many of her fellow Wttshlngtouians were exploiting the war situation. "Some I know," she said, "have an apartment war ion *rw«* A ««mti « * THIS that they used to rent unfurnished for $4g a jaonth. They have furnished it simply and tastefully and the/ are now getting |150 a month. I call that performance simple extortion." It is, obviously, extortion. And it LB a typical case. Many of the sufferers from the extortion have come here out of patriotic motives and are working for the government either without pay or for very much less than they are used to getting. A capable man came here and offered his services to one of the most important of all the war boards. He was told that he would be given a position If he would agree to take 40 per cent of his average salary for the last three years. He did agree and he went to work with a will and he wrote to his wife and children that he would send for them Just as soon as he could find the right kind of house. He finally was driven to thinking that it would be best for him to take an apartment that was furnished. But he couldn't find one. At this point he decided to go home. The government lost an able worker through not taking care of him properly. Now it realizes and It has provided an agency to see that the war workers are properly boused. RAISE LEGHORNS FOR FAMILY USE Meat Possibilities of Fowl Have Been Neglected by Most Poultry Breeders. AVERAGE BIRD IS TOO SMALL It Would Bo Profitable for Poultry Raisers to Give More Attention to These Cog Producer*—Make Splendid Broiler*. With Blood in His Eye Dog Cop Seeketh the Sly THIS is the tale*of some cops and a hound; a taxi adventure, and the district dog pound. The cops are now mad; the hound Is quite dead, while one taxi chauffeur is some bucks ahead. Murphy, dog cop at the capltol grounds, espied a big bulldog while making his rVATCH MJE 1 e r r A KEWARO Ffft tHlS ( rounds. He picked up the canine with great expectation of fetching to owner with hopes of remuneration. The other policeman with hopes of some fun, with much speed and action to phone booths did run, while Officer Boyd said to Murphy, you see, "you call up and find who the owner might be." When Murphy called up, the wires were "pulled," and Murphy, unknowing, was .thoroughly "bulled," for instead of the owner the officer spoke to the other policemen, "In on" the joke. He asked for reward; the answer was "yes," and Murphy was given a "phony" address. Exultant, the victim the bulldog did grab, and made a wild dash for a near taxicab. The address he shouted and oft* they did go, whereat quiet reigned for an hour or so. Later Murphy, the dog and the taxi came back, with Murphy bewailing— alas and alack !—that the address he'd sought he never had found and the confounded mutt he would send to the pound. Murphy was busted ; he hadn't a cent, so the chauffeur to Officer Calkins he sent. Calkins, amazed, heard the taximan blare that he was expected to pay Murphy's fare. At that there were signs of a violent fight, till the capltol cop captain hove Into sight. So Calkins, bewildered, dug deep in his jeans and greased the chauffeur's palm with sundry odd beans. There endeth the yarn of the cops and the mutt, the taxi, the joke, in fact everything—BUT— The fact that Cop Calkins is waiting to know by whose low-down scheme he was ordered to blow the most of his pay for a darned taxi-toot and then get a call from the captain to boot. (Prepared toy the United State* Department or Agriculture.) The Leghorn fowl owes its popularity so largely to Its egg-producing capacity that the meat possibilities of the breed have been neglected by moat Leghorn breeders. Such failure to recognize the potential food value of birds kept to produce a special food product may have been excusable under prewar conditions, but in the present need of utilizing to the full every capacity of every food-producing animal, breeders of Leghorns should give due attention to the development of their table qualities. Discussion of the meat value of a breed must note and take due account of the fact that the markets—that is, the dealers and consumers—do not recognize breed differences in poultry, except as in a few localities particular breeds may be generally kept and may become known locally, or in special trade lines for excellent table quality. The poultry breeder, therefore, In planning how to make the most of the meat values of his stock considers what market demands can be filled with poultry of the breed which he keeps. Average Leghorns Too Smalt. Average Leghorn hens weigh only about 3 pounds alive. Many of them will dress only 2 to 2½ pounds. This is not a desirable size for a table fowl, being too much under the weights (4 to 5 pounds) which most people prefer when buying a fowl. Besides being small herself, the average Leghorn produces chicks so small that they do not remain very soft-meated until they have reached the size the market demands in broilers, and so the cockerels cannot be pounds or more are heavy enough to meet the demand for dressed fowls a little under the weights generally preferred, and there is enough demand for fowls at this weight to take all the supply. The cockerels bred from hens of 4 pounds weight and over, if properly grown, will make broiler size as quickly as the chicks of most of the larger breeds. They will also be soft-meated up to about 2 to 2½ pounds' weight. After that tixey are apt to harden quickly and their flesh is not so tender. Leghorn cockerels produced from very large males and females—that is, from males that weigh upward of 6¼ pounds and females upward of 5¼ pounds—frequently keep quite softmeated until they reach 4 to 6 pounds weight Such birds make very satisfactory small roasters for home use, though they will not sell as well on the market as birds of the same weight of a slower growing breed. Growing Leghorns for Meat Even when good-sized Leghorns are used for breeding, the chickens will not make good poultry unless they are well grown. In a measure this is true of any chickens; those that are poorly grown never make the development or have the table quality of those that are well grown. To secure good growth, Leghorn chicks must not be overcrowded In brooders or coops, and as soon as they are large enough to range over an extended piece of ground should be given as wide range as possible and at the same time fed liberally. Chicks so treated will grow twice as fast as those that are reared under the intensive conditions to which the greater number of Leghorn chicks are sub jected. INCREASE IN WESTERN CANADA UNO VALUES But Forty and Fifty Bushels of Wheat to the Acre. HIGH-PRODUCING GARDEN Girl War Workers Are Not Afraid of the Dark THAT prewar girl who was " 'fraid to go home in the dark" is very much among the missing. Girls, especially war workers in Washington, think nothing about going about alone late at night. There's so much to do that girls cannot be bothered with escorts. They found that the bugbear around the dark corner hasn't materialized. Especially is this true of the group that Is working under the direction of .Miss Stella Osbourne at the District campaign headquarters of the Red Cross. s There are girls from several government departments that have been doing clerical work for the Red Cross every night since early in April except the night after the parade when they all were pegged out with marching. They are preparing for the big drive that is to take place soon for the purpose of obtaining funds for, the Red Cross. They hare a complete organisation. A girl was chosen by the chief clerk in each government department to be a member of the clerical committee. Under each of these girls Is a corps of six assistants. Those in turn have reserves. As the headquarters would not hold all the workers some of them work at night at the library of congress under the direction of Mrs. Woods. Others are at the interstate commerce commission at night, and still others are burning the midnight oil for Uncle Sam in the post office. lMfir*Tf (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Are you sure that your garden Is producing as much as it is capable of doing? A half-acre garden, if properly cared for, will produce sufficient vegetables for the average family's use. It will produce far greater returns per acre than can be realized from an equal area devoted to general farm crops. But it is necessary to give the garden proper care and attention if you expect maximum crops. Farmers' Bulletin 937, recently published by the United States department of agriculture, whl^h will be sent free to any who ap- Jl 0 e i During the past year there has been a greater demand for farm lands in Western Canada than for a number of years past. The demand is for good farm lands improved or unimproved. And at an increase of from ten to fifteen dollars an acre more than the same lands could be had for a couple of years ago. The rise in the price of every kind of produce grown on these Western lands, in some cases to double and in others to treble the price prevailing before 1914, have attracted and are attracting in ever-increaalng proportion* the men who are anxious to invest their money, and apply their energies) in the production of wheat for which the allied nations are calling with voices which grow louder and more anxious as the months roll on, and the end of the war still seems distant. Beef, and more especially bacon, are required in ever greater quantities, and the price of all these things has soared, until it is not a question of what shall we produce, but how much can we produce. Even should this world calamity be brought to a close In six months from now, it will be years before normal pre-war prices prevail, and meantime self-interest if not patriotism is turning the minds of thousands back to the land. The inevitable consquence has been the rise in values of land, especially wheat land. The Calgary Herald, commenting on these conditions says: "From inquiries made from leading; dealers in farming and ranching propn ertles, and from the information gathered In other ways, It is known that the value of all land—wheat landmixed farming properties, and even, good grazing land—has risen in the last two years 40 per cent. Wheat lands in some districts have practically doubled In price. One dealer in farm lands recently sold three sections for $70 an acre, one extra good quarter went as high as $90, and another brought $100. These are, of course, Iar^e prices, but that they will be equaled or even surpassed in the near future is beyond question.

Lace fa Again Fashionable and Often Family Heirlooms Are Used— The Going-A way Gown. Though no one begrudges the bride of this year her traditional bridal panoply of ivory satin, lace and tulle, it la not expected of her to provide an elaborate and expensive trousseau of handsome evening gowns and stunning afternoon costumes, states a fashion writer. The sentiment of the times Is against display In dress, and this year's dearth of formal entertainments, of the usual sequence of balls and dinners and house parties precludes the necessity of a large supply of costly clothes for anybody—even for the bride who Is supposed to enjoy a special program of gaieties in the first months of her married life. Honeymoons are being cut short this year—as a rule the bridegroom, after a brief furlough for his wedding and the ensuing trip of a week or ten days, goes back to his regiment or to his ship and the bride settles down quietly with her home people—or near them—and though she goes out formally, has naturally not much heart for formal affairs. The wedding day costume, however, is another matter. It would be an unnatural bride who did not claim her full privilege of bridal panoply, perhaps claim it the more determinedly because robbed of other privileges of brides in normal times. A woman can be a bride but once, and even in wartime she wants to wear the trailing white satin, the pearls, the orange blossoms and the symbolic veil which may be hers on this one great occasion— and this one only—of all her life. Many a beautiful wedding gown has been worn this year and the summer wedding gowns promise to be no less beautiful than those of midwinter. Ivory white satin, the traditional "bride" satin, is the favored material for the wedding gown and though the spring models keep to the slender silhouette now insisted upon by fashion, there are many lovely ways of breaking the straight, slim lines with soft draperies and panels of airy fabric. Lace is again fashionable on the bridal gown and some are trimmed with rare old point and Venice lace^ have come down as family heirlooms. Of the newer laces, shadow lace is the favorite, because of Its delicate texture and lovely draping qualities. Embroidered chiffon is used also, and pearl embroidered chtffon is specially distinguished. Every bride nowadays seems to seek some individual and original veil arrangement and many are the interesting caps and coronets of lace or tulle from which the veil falls at the back to the end of the train. The Russian cap, rising to a peak at the front, has been used, and various sorts of peasant cap, modified or exaggerated in line and carried out in lace, tulle or silver tissue. The veil now covers, or almost covers, the hair as a modern hat does and is no longer poised or perched high on the head, caught by a puff of tulle or a cluster of orange blossoms. Second only in importance to the bridal gown Is the smart costume in which the bride bids farewell to her friends and starts away to begin her married life. The going-away gown, as it is always called, is less often a gown, than a tailored suit of formal and elaborate type; sometimes it Is a gown covered by a very smart topcoat— when the bride starts her wedding trip in a motorcar. This practical costume will moat likely, this spring, be a* tailored suit of dark blue tricot serge made with a straight plain skirt and dashing Uttle jacket GAY BAYADERE SASH IS WORN Wide Ribbon Decoration Cornea In Rich Color Combinations; Nice With Eton SuK.

These bayadere sashes . e of very wide ribbon of faille weave and substantial weight and the sash is long enough to go twice around the waist and fall in fringed ends just below t h e hip at one tide. These gay sashes come all ready to put on, with fringe sewed to the ends, in the neckwear and accessory department*. If you are quite slim and willowy you can knot the sash ends over one hip. If you are rather plump and hare a substantial sort of waist measure, draw the Saab ends through a large buckle and do away with the BBOC wmca, ox course, taxes up extra rlbhoai. stripes in the bayadere in varlooe rich eoier MatttoM sad aimoet aB of the CAPE CUT ON NOVEL UNES Although extreme in outline, this cape of bolivia cloth Is one of the most attractive shown this year. It is in maroon shade with a large roll collar that forms a bodice effect and ties in front under the cape. The fringe Is another new note. The cape is very charming and there Is little doubt that It will be one of the favorites for the summer and fall seasons. In loose box or Eton style and the bride wtll certainly possess one or two attractive waistcoats to do the suit justice; one waistcoat perhaps of dotted foulard silk, the other of beige silk poplin, or of pearl gray faille silk.

There is a bit of a waistcoat, of the jersey, crossed surpllcewise and caught in the string belt of the material. The lace reappears in a deep marine collar that hangs almost to the waistline, but which is not visible from the front. And, strange to say, the lace on wool jersey does not seem to detract from the wearing qualities of the model, or to make the latter too dressy for semisporfr occasions. A Knitting Help. White bone knitting needles slip through the wool much quicker if they are first filed on a plain kitchen file as you would a lead pencil Into a long, smooth point. Overblouaea Tunic The newest overblouses are almost as long as the tunic. blnations look well with an Eton suit of blue serge or of shepherd check serge or cheviot Summer Frocks of Silk.

On account or his wide experience as Kdltor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority an all these subjects. Address all Inquiries to William A Radford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago, I1L, and only enclose three-cent stamp for reply. By WILLIAM A. RADFORD. Fifty or sixty years ago some one conceived the Idea that a stove with a jacket around it, placed in the basement, with an opening above it, could be made to heat a house. He thought so well of the idea that he made a model, drew plans and specifications and secured a patent. The heater was built. Because of the jacket an inflow of air was needed. This was provided by an air duct leading Into the space between the jacket and the stove from out of doors. Heat poured through the opening above, but for some reason the house wouldn't get warm. After experimenting a while, the inventor gave it up and allowed his patent to lapse*. That man probably never knew how near he came to helping solve a modern heating problem. Either he did not know or overlooked the fact that in heating a house, or a store, or any type of building, the air heated by the fire must displace the cold air in that house, or store building. He bad neglected to provide an outlet for the cold air and, in consequence, his invention was a failure. Recognition of this fact made possible the furnace which came after. A "cold air register," placed In a central posltraggeated that the first paragraph, or rather the nrat two paragraphs of this article be read again. The pipeless furnace wtts Invented in Civil war times. But the modern Inventor had the benefit of the scientific facts of the circulation of air and the expert* eoce of the furnace men in the application of these facta. All htt had to do was to get the cold air out of the building, so It could be replaced with heated air. Circulation Is Provided. This he did by making a register, one section of whl^h waa the counter* part of the cold air register and the other of the hot air Into the building and at the same time sucked out the cold air. In other words, it provided circulation. If you are n9t an expert on heating devices, you will undoubtedly have a lot of questions iu your mind. The writer hud. but he had an advantage over you—he asked thera of men who are experts, and got the answers. They are now passed on to you. "How," one man was asked, "can a house, say one and a half stories high, containing six rooms, be heated from one register?" Then it was explained. No attempt will be made to quote the expert literally, but here Is what he said, in substance : The modern house Is open. That Is, there are practically no rooms on the first floor, with the exception of the kitchen, that are shut off from the others. This is necessary to make a pipeless furnace efficient. Warm air rises and as it rises It forces the cooler air towards the floor. When the heated air hit.-" the ceiling it does not stop, but continues to wherever it can find air colder than Itself. Tills continuous stream of heated air eventually drives out the colder air and heats the room. That's one room. "How," the prober continued, seeking defects in the system, "can this furnace heat any part of the house except the room that contains the register?" Scientific Basis of System. Now what follows is the scientific basis upon which is founded the success of the pipeless furnace. The pipes which carry the heated air from the ordinary type of furnace to the rooms above are usually ten inches in diameter. The area of a ten-inch pipe Is one-half a square foot. One of these pipes leads to each room Section Through Five-Room Bungalow Showing How House Is Heated by Pipeless Furnace. don In the building, "sucked" oat the cold air aa -he heated air waa discharged into the rooms. But her*, too, the inventor and the manufacturers who produced theae furnace* overlooked something Heat Wasted on Basement In the basement a maze of pipes waj strong, each pipe leading to a room above. These pipes, as the heated air passed through them, th«jw off much of the beat In fact, the basement where no one habitually alts or stays any longer than is necesary got the first crack at the heat Then, only a few years ago, four or five at the most along came a man with an "original Idea." It waa original, too, in part "Why not" he probably said to himself, running* bis hand through his hair, or holding his chin between thumb and fterennger. or doing soma one of the many things men do tn stories when they are in deep thought—i4whj not save that wasted h e a t r So he set abont tn save It and he did. Ha invented tfce pipeless furnace. Tor the benefit a* those who do not ,t a nipeless furnace la, It In that Is to be heated. Thus, all the heat that can be Introduced Into a single room through a pipe of this character must come through this small opening. In contrast the area of a doorway In an ordinary home Is 17 square feet and 35 times as much as a pipe opening. A double dejor U twice as large and If there happens to be colonnades, or no doors, there is Just that much more area for the Induction of heat Thus Instead of carrying the heat Into a room through a small pipe you carry It In.through the door openings. Or, rather, you don't carry It in, but It goes in whether you want it to or not In the house taken as an example-— six room*, one story and a half—40 per cent of its area Is basement 40 per cent on the first floor and 20 per cent on the second. Theae proportions, of course, differ In different types of buildings. The percentage* in Individual cases are easy to figure. But taking the one mentioned, by eliminating pipes in the baaemant 40 per cent of the heat produced la saved, with a consequent saving of 40 per cent In fool to obtain the name decree of heat whore heat la THAT CHANGE IN WOMAN'S LIFE Mrs. Goddcn TcB« How It May be P&tnod in S*fety and Comfort.

GREGORY The following letter was received by Mrs. E. Hill from her nephew in France France, July 1st, 1'JlS Dear Aunt: Received your letter of June 3rd while at the front. 1 am • writing this letter in a dugout. Everybody here lives in dugouts with about six feet of alternating layers of logs and dirt over their heads. My light is a tallow candle. All dugouts are dark, damp, cold places infested with rata and mice. Back of us is telephone exchange 35 feet underground. This is considerad to be shell proof. There are dugouts around here capable of holding 260 men. This is a queer war around here in some respecta. People live as near to the front line as we will let them and they plant crops and cut hay among the barbed wire entanglement* of the reserve positions. We are Hituated in an extensive wood, so we cun move about quite freely in the daytime so long as the enemy does not detect any movement. But if they do, over come the, shells. On the top of the hill near our headquarters is a good sized church with only four or five houses around it. But down in the valley there is a village. The steeple of the church was knocked off long ago From the church to a church inside the enemy lines is only 2000 yards. Th« village inside the enemy lines is all knocked to pieces. Regular servicees are held in the church at the top of the hill. One morning the Boches shelled the cross roads near the church. Two shells hit the stone wall around it and one went through the root. The people at service rcattered into the bornbproofs and cellars. The church roof has several bomb holes in it and the walls are i marked with shrapnel. Outside in the • yard is the military cemetery where many French soldiers are buried. Also it contains the grave of the first sol \er in the 32nd Div, killed in action. In about 100 acres of woods around there is more barbed wire than there is in Michigan . It is diffcult to get through the woods unless you know where the gups are. A couple of days a ?o there waS a French balloon up behind our lines. A German plane rushed at it and fired a shot through it and it went up in smoKe. The observer had to take to his parachute. We have to wear our gasmasks all the time and the women and children carry one slung over their shoulder. I have not taken off my clcthes but once since I've been here. On cur left the big grins have opened the biggest barrage I have heard yet. It is quite nice here, not too warm I am feeling fine. As ever, Faye.

PINCKNEY DISPATCH aaiiMsmammm Some Fall Fishing By C B. LKW13 f (Copyright. 1M8. by the McClura Newapa,- per 8ya<ttc»U.) The doctor In the city had told Mis* Gertie Aabiord to stay In the country na U>u{» as she could, on account of the otttte of her throat, and that \vu,« why HIK* was yet at her grandmother's when mid-September came. It n:\dn't been u very lively -»ununer for The girl. She had taken long walks. She had fussed with the oldfashioned flowers; she had sought In vain to win the confidence of ttu: chlpwnnks and rabbits which came about, and she had hunted for quaiU' nest* In the wheat fields. Thers was one s>i'ort, however, she had not i;urticlpated in. There was a creek meandering its way over the country im\ cmt>s».ng tlve highway a few rods below tr,<> house, and in that creek were fWh at least as long us her finger. She knew It, because she had seen Them, and because a neighbor's boy twelve years old had told her: "Why, of course there are fish— slathers and shuhers of Vru, and they are arhin' to he eotched, jest as a cat aches for (.Team. Haven't hauled out inore'n a hundred this summer." "Hut I was taught in Sunday school that it was wicked to catch fish," was protested. "Humph! Would we have codfish cakes If folks didn't go a-ushln'?" The boy rigged up a line and pole for her, and Miss Gertie went fishing. He stood on the bank with her for a while to advise: "Now, lower your hook !" "Now, stop wobbling the pole!" "Now, don't you dare breathe.'" "Now, shet you eyes and say your prayers, for there's a fish as long as a rail cotnln' for your hook !" When half an hour had passed and the fisher hadn't had n nibble yet, the boy wandered away In disgust. At the end of the second half-hour Miss Gertie said to herself: "1 know why I don't have any luck. It's because the fish can see me. I'll play a trick on them." Thereupon she stuck the end of the pole Into the bank and left the hook to do Its own fishing while she retired to the house for a rest. Ferrers Yorke, the author and artist, was planning a new story. The opening chapters would tell of a meadow, a brook, a bridge and a pretty girl, and the girl would be fishing In that brook. The author was great on local color, and he had come out Into the country to find the spot thaii another would have to imagine. He was quite sure ihat he could find all but the girl with a fishrole in her hands, and there was one chance in a thousand that he would find her. He had discovered two or three brooks, bridges and meadows when his search brought him to the willows opposite to where Gertie stood. A rash young man would have stalked out of the bushes with a hello and a wave of his hat, and waded the brook and asked how many fish had been caught, and how many had got away. Mr, Yorke was not rash. He did not betray his presence among the willows. Not that he was a s p y by nature, but that, having found his heroine, he roust study her a bit. The heroine of a story must have auburn hair which the sunshine turns to gold. She must have a neck like a swan, though not as long. She must have a Grecian nose—not tine sort you see around the Greek restaurants of New York, but one made to order in Athens and sent on packed in pink cotton. Her eyes must be like stars. The stars worn by constables are excluded from the contest. Her form must be divine, which means It must not be molded on the lines of a sack of flour. 8he must have twinkling feet. She should sing as she fished. Did the girl across the creek from the artist (ltl the bill? Yes, and more. She was a sylph—a hour!—an angel. With her for a heroine that story would go like buckwheat cakes on a winter's morning. Even when she became discouraged about the fish and turned sway with a shrug of her shoulder*, be was delighted with the shrug. An artist and an author has two aonls, as we all know. One is a dream soul ftfid can hear the whispers of the anysts with every breeze that blows tfcfCPfh a patch of bull-thistles—the ojatei' gives him a proper appetite for a boiled dinner. When Mr. Yorke had looked anon Gertie with one sonl. he laid It aside to look with the other. The girl went away, but she would return. She would confidently expect to find something on her hook. If there waa not a victim alia would be disappointed. IK.) up escape for and raised How a fanner's east-off boot came to be lying on the farther bank In plain sight Ls a mystery to be explained some other time, in days goae by a bear might have overtaken him at that spot and devoured everything but the boot. F'or the two-souled artist to leap the brook and seize the boot and make it fast to the fishhook and leap back among the willows wtu* the work of three minutes. The angels cannot look down and witness such base trlcka and punish them, but there is generally a small boy around to see and to give things away. In this case it was the small boy who had left the spot an hour before. He was returning to see what luck Gertie had had. He came stealthijy, and he saw all, and he aaid to himself : "Gee, but don't I wish I was as big as a house, so that I could give that chap a licking!" He waited in hiding to see what the girl would do when she returned. She came slowly. She thought she saw the fishpole quiver. She seized it and flung the "fish" on to the grass behind her. She hud just discovered what it was, and was looking at It in wonder, when the small boy left his lair to say : "I saw the guy when he done it!" "Did some one put tins old boot on my hook?" she asked. "He did, Miss, and lie's right over there in the willers'." Gertie walked down to the bridge and over it and up the bank to the clump of willows, where the two- •souled artist crouched. He saw her coming, hut there was him. He straightened his hat. The girl looked him up atid down with contempt, and he felt obliged to say : "—I did it as a joke!" "Are you what is called a comic supplement to a Sunday paper?" was asked. "I'm sorry I did it." "Ob, don't apologize. There are men of all sorts of caliber, you know!" "But " But Gertie had turned her back on him and was walking away. When she rejoined the boy, the latter said: "Say, that guy is stopping over at Farmer Turner's. Do you want me to go over there and lick, him? You made his knees wobble, but I can make his hair, stand up." "I guess he got enough," was the reply, and yet the girl did not congratulate herself upon her victory. Had it been such a great crime after all7 Wouldn't almost anyone else have taken it as a Joke? Couldn't she have taken it as a Joke but for the small boy? The "guy" was good-looking and a gentleman. A gentleman sometimes jokes as well as other sorts of men. He had said he was sorry, and would have gone further If she had consented to listen. He had blushed and been confused, and had gone away as if looking for a hole to hide in. Miss Gertie had a temper quick to flash and quick to cool off again, and by the next morning she had made reasonable excuses for the Joker. So it was with the small boy. His father had said it was a good Joke, and his mother had smiled at It, and the lad had come to feci It a duty to go over to Turner's and tell the guy that he was sorry he had given him away. He was on his way to Turner's across the fields, when he caught sight of Gertie on the highway. She was In the old buggy and behind the old horse which her grnndmother had owned for nearly twenty years. She was headed for the village and the postofflce. A quarter of a mile beyond the girl was the "guy." He was running down the hill and waving his hat at her. "Now, then, is that feller crazyV asked the small boy of himself, as he mounted a stump to see the better. From the brow of the hill the artist had seen a pair of horses and a wagon coming on the dead run. He had Instantly realized that the driver of the lighter vehicle would not take the alarm until too late. He waa within five rods of her when he recognized Gertie, and as he reached the head of the old horse he grasped the bridle and fairly dragged the outfit Into the ditch. As It was, a wheel was taken off the old buggy and the girl thrown out She was somewhat bruised and terribly scared, and, of course, Mr. Yorke had to assist her to the house, while the small boy remained on the spot to pick up the pieces and assure old Dobbin that he had had the escape of his life. That evening the same small boy called on Gertie to see If she had any toes broken and to add: "Did yon gjve the guy any more fitsr "Why, no," waa tupHed. "Do you think him nioaT -I—I think so." "Is he a heror "He moat be." Then you'll marry him, of course, and HI be left high and dry!

ANY devices and inventions have been offered to the government at Washington to aid in winning the war. These range all the way from the feasible to the fantastic. Iu the latter class, at first glance, would be placed the proposal to build cargo ships of artifit:al tstone as a help In overcoming the submarine menace; ship and stone have been absolute ' oppofiltes In the lay mind since the first ship was set afloat. In the depurtment of concrete construction of the Emergency Vleet corporation, however, no doubts are held as to the practicability of the concrete ehip. The men there believe thoroughly in the proposition; they a r e filled with enthusiasm at the thought that, at a dramatic and crucial time in the history of the world, they are to make a revolutionary contribution to the cause of democracy—one that may be an important factor In the turning of the scales against autocracy. ' T h e concrete ship division Ts o n l y a f e w months old, says a writer in the New York Times. A large body of engineers qualified to make a study of the many different problems involved in this new design w a s assembled at Washington at the beginning of the year. The work was divided Into seven sections; for the largest, j salt water for three years Is in prac-j fere with the production of steel that of concrete design, 11 engineers | tically perfect condition ; nor has there plates or shapes for steel vessels. T/££ JT£ArtERrAITJ(fWrG&Ara?tfCMT£SH/Pro&lAMc/ta? were engaged. Two men were called to the organization from the bureau of construction and repair of the navy 'department, and there were representatives from Lloyds' registry and the American bureau of shipping. The hull section was made up of naval architects whose duty it was to analyze the stability, bending moments, and shear of the ships' hulls, both those designed in the office and those submitted for approval. Four sections were concerned with the structural qualities of the ship. Not Regarded a t Experiment Rudolph J. Wig of the government bureau of standards, who has had charge of the government's investigation of concrete ships since the beginning of the war, is in direct supervision of this department as chief engineer, "We here In this department," said Mr. Wig In Washington the other day, "do not think the concrete ship may he classed as an experimental ship any longer. We think that the re-enforced concrete ship Is structurally Just as sound as the steel ship, and that the conclusions based on our investigations will be borne out when observations may be taken from concrete ships actually under service. "The one thing we know the least about is as to durability. The life of the concrete ship may not be more than three years, but even if it be that short we of this department believe, on account of our great need of ships, that the construction of concrete ships should be begun on a large scale as soon as possible. We, here, are ready to go ahead at any time. "Damage by the salt water of the eea? We know that this need not be feared for three years, if at all. TMs conclusion Is based on examination of all the concrete structures In sea water of the navy department for a period of three years. I helped to make this Inspection. We know, too, that one concrete ship has been In operation in sea water for one year. That is the Namsenfjord of Norway. Tests show that the sea water has had no damaging effect on the bull. It Is true it is a small ship, 600 tons, while the Faith, the concrete ship recently launched by the San Francisco Shipbuilding company and now being outfitted for a trial trip, has a S.OOOton cargo capacity. "Another concrete vessel much smaller than the Namsenfjord has been tested In salt water considerably longer, This is a tittle steamer built in Boston three or four years ago. It Is only 48 feet' long. The hull 1« of etment mortar, and; after contact with been any cracking of cement. 2,500,000 Tons by August, 1919. "This department has completed the detailed plans for a 3,500-ton concrete cargo ship, and It is at work on plans for a 7,600-ron type, We estimate that between 150 and 200 3,500-ton concrete hulls can be completed by the end of this year if we start immediately, and that if the construction of hulls of 7,500 tons each commences by June 250 can be completed by August, 1919; that is approximately 2,500,000 tons.1' "What about a concrete ship If attacked by a submarine?" "A torpedo would blow a hole in a concrete ship just as in any other kind of a ship, but it would not crack the hull, as some seem to have thought. The concrete Is not fragile like a bowl; it Is tough, due to the re-enforcing steel." "How does the cost of the concrete ship compare with that of steel?" "The concerete costs about twothirds as much. Concrete ships can be built in much larger numbers than ships of steel or wood, mainly because the concrete vessels do not require a large plant Installation and because the material is readily available. Even a small steel plant costs $500,000. On the other hand, a cement ship plant can be built for $15,000. It may be made so as to be portable. The principal machinery required is a mixer, a hoist, and a derrick. The time required to complete a concrete ship is practically the same as that in a wellorganized steel yard, from two to three months. "The ways used for a concrete ship are the same as those for other kinds of ships. The first step is to build the outside form, or mold, which is of wood. The re-enforcing steel is then placed in position. Next the Interior form is built. Then comes the pouring of the concrete into the form. No interval Is permitted in this; It is continned night and day in order to eliminate Joints as far as possible. This operation requires several days. Three or four weeks are given for the concrete to 'age.' Then the forms are removed, and the ship Is ready to Delaunched. Thereafter comes the installation of the machinery. Material Is Plentiful. "In concrete vessels a large part of the materials used can be obtained in almost any part of the United States. "The steel used for the re-enforcing is of a different character in so far as Its shape is concerned from that used in steel ships. At present, with the decreased amount of building of all kinds throughout the country, re-enforcing steel for concrete can bo secured in abundance and will not inter* "The vessel contemplated in our design is of the same size, dimensions, and form as the 3,500-ton standard wood ship, except thut the sheer line amidships hus been slightly altered and no outer keel is fitted. The general arrangement follows closely that of the wood ship, including the number and location of the bulkheads. The propelling machinery designed for the wood ship has been provided practically without change in the concrete vessel. The length will be 268 feet, and the beam 46; draft 23 feet 6 inches, and full-load displacement 6,175 tons. The comparative weight of hull is as follows: Concrete, 2.500 tons; wood, 2,300; steel, 1,160; weight of the ship, ll^ht, concrete, 2,972 tons; wood, 2,777 tons; steel, 1.600 tons." Faith Built in Crude Plant. A representative of the Emergency Fleet corporation who witnessed the launching of the Fnlth nt San Francisco reports as follows : "The ship was constructed by 40 or 50 house carpenters, and the lack of machinery of the plant was especially noticeable. A small power saw, the concrete mixer, a pile of lumber and another of gravel seemed to be the only Implements and materials In the yard. The installation of the machinery will in all probability be completed in a month, when the ship will be a t once sent on a long trial voyage. "The appearance of the Faith at a distance, is very little different from that of any steel vessel of the same dimensions. She has been designed to carry 5,000 deadweight tons, and a steel ship of the same dimensions probably would not carry more than 6,000 deadweight tons. The ship is painted black, and the Imprint of the mold of the vessel is plainly visible on close examination of the hull, making the ship appear very much as if she were built of lumber. "The engines will be of the triple expansion type. As this style produces the maximum vibration, the test of the action of the vibration on concrete construction will be thorough. This seems to be the only uncertainty yet remaining to prove that the concrete construction of large ships l i wholly feasible. The Faith is the first vessel that was ever launched sideways In San Francisco. . . . She was not launched* upside down, as is popularly considered the manner la which concrete ships are launched. Small boats are usually constructed upside down because of the ease in cranking and in concrete ships because of the pouring of the cement The Faith was built and launched right side up." f Vienna Sausage A Favorite Dish Everywhere P r e p a r e d f r o m d a i n t y b i t s o f choice, selected meat, skillfully seasoned and c o o k e d by Libby'a o w n expert chefs—these sausages have that delicacy o f flavor, y e t spicy zest that makes t h e m favorites everywhere.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan Thursday Aug-, tf, lc)l: No. 38 ST. MARY'S PICNIC This Annual Event A success The annual picnic of St. Mary's Pariah was held at the usual place last Tuesday. Thia vicinity never endured greater heat than was with UB that day and as a result the attendance was not quite up to the usual mark. The dinner, for which the -ladies ot the church are so justly celebrated was eveu better than usual. Several of the speaksra- and singers disappointed the crowd by their nonarrival but perhaps they were excusable lor not venturing out in the extreme heat. The B Sharp sextette sang two selections in their usual fine manner."!"V./-. R. D. Roche actad as toastmaster firBt introducing Rev. Fr, Sicss of the Qreat Lakes Training Station who described the great work of the Knights <*f Columbus in the war. Rev. Wittliff of Brighton gave a patriotic address in his usual impressive manner. Taking into consideration the great heat the speahers and singers are worthy of high praise for their efforts on behalf of the people congregated that intensely hot day. The unbeaten Howell team came over to add one1 more scalp to their long Hit of victorys. Something unlooked for happened for happened when they •met Pinckney on the diamond, however. In a long drawn out contest the best they could do,was to secure a tie—4 and 4—and not satisfied with closeness of the score they got into an argument with the umpire and refused to finish the game.

The carload of wheat was placed under seal by Fred Bernard, Calhoun County food administrator who ^found it being unloaded into the cleaners and Beeders of the concern. Representatives of M. A. C. who were called in by Mr. Bernard to make an examination found the grain very badly smutted. Mr. Bernard has also charged that the company has made contracts for seed wheat with Michigan farmers at $4.25 a bushel on the strength of claims that the wheat is superior to all other varieties in the state and that from one bushel to five pecks is enough to seed an acre. The investigation against the King Co. is announced as part of a general plan to prevent unscrupulous dealers from taking advantage of present conditions to exploit Michigan farmers.

BUY ON QUANTITY BASIS Alto Obtain Standardized Mixture of Pure Grains, and a Wide Market in Southern Michigan. From Office of Publications, Michigan Agricultural College. Bast Lansing, Mich.—Manager C. H. Beebe of the Tecumseh Co-operative association, sat Ln his office and watched the feed prices soar—but not for long. The "slttin* " habit la not held In very high repute in Lenawee county, of which Tecumseh is a leading couamunal adornment. Finally, when the aforementioned prices had soared to an altitude record that would have caused the late unlamented Baron Richtofen to effervesce at the mouth, the manager snorted and also rose. His snort was such a one as might have been emitted by his agricultural forebears when upon beholding the Redcoats marching up Lexington way in 1776, they dropped their hoes to grub their muskets, It should be explained that Tecumseh 1c ln a dairy district—and the new feed prices, quite naturally, brought consternation even to some of the most efficient of the "milk producers. "This will never do,'- the manager was heard to remark—so forthwith was born the idea which In Tecumseh, at least, is tending to make the dairy feed problem somewhat less menacing. "Let's make up our own feed," the manager suggested or maybe it was the, president or the secretary of the association, but the essential fact is that the suggestion was made, and acted apon. It might be illuminating here to Inaert a word about the Tecumseh Cooperative association, of which Mr. Beebe Is the manager. As its name discloses, It Is a co-operative body with which about 400 Lenawee county farmers are affiliated, and from which they derive such manifold benefits as accrue to those who have discovered the secret of co-operative buying and selling. Of course when such an organization says "Let's make up our own feed," or "saw our own wood," It is usually done. But let Manager Beebe tell about it: "OUT dairymen," said the manager, "have of late been confronted by two problems. In the first place, the prices of dairy feeds have risen to a point where they must be looked upon with the awe due those who perch in high places. Secondly, our dairymen have never been absolutely sure even after they have paid these luxurious prices that they have secured a standard free from chaff and "fillers." "It was only natural that we should try our hand at mixing and marketing a feed of our own, and that is what we are doing. In order to make sure that we weren't going wrong, we sent a committee to the college, and this committee, working with the dairy department of the college, decided upon a standard feed mixture averaging from 21 to 22 per cent protein—Including such ingredients as bran, middlings, g r o w ^ oais, gluten, cottonseed meal, oil meal, hominy and 1 per cent salt. being distributed at cost to our members and to other co-operative associations m southern Michigan, ln place of a hi«h-priced product of uncertain quality .>ur dairymen are now being provided with a standard product at a moderate price." This price, according to quotations from Tecumseh, is $55.50 a ton In bulk, with a charge of $5 more if sacked. Commercial feeds of the same quality are selling from $05 to $70 a ton, which means that the Tecumseh farmer* stand well in the way of suving from 10 to 20 per cent of their feed costs through [heir new venture. The feed is intended to be used with such roughages as corn stover and mixed hay and silage; or if trie dairyman hus clover hay, alfalfa and silager ground corn and oats could be mixed wirh the dairy feed at the rate of twothirds dairy feed to one-third ground outs and corn. Without silage, a little additional meal can be used. The feed itself, of course, is intended by the association to be fed in the same proportions as such dairy feeds are always fed. Meanwhile, wiille feed prices are still clinging to the high spots with the tenacity of a mountain goat, the dairymen of Tecumseh are not worrying so much us many of their neighbors. REPORT "NO-TOP" TUBERS Unfavorable Soil Conditions Produce "Freak" Potatoes. East Lansing, Mich.—Reports of the production of "freak" potatoes have come to the Michigan Agricultural College at various times within the past few weeks from several parts of the state. These 'breaks" produce little potatoes at the eyes Instead of sprouts. "There is some reason for believing that unfavorable soil conditions during the time tubers are formed are reflected ln the crop produced by such potatoes," declares Dr. G. H. Coons, plant pathologist at M. A. C. "In the spring of 1917 many tubers grown during the drought of 1916 produced a few little tubers from the seed piece, but no sprouts at all. Whole fields showed this phenomenon. No one has as yet determined the underlying cause of this behavior by the potato, but the lesson is clear—the seed stock should come from fields and hills that are above suspicion." Quite a lot of "mosaic" Is also being reported from some sections. The most effective remedy for this disease and for others, according to the college, is to set aside a quarter acre or so for the production of seed potatoes and to pull and remove from this plot during the growing season all plants that show signs of infection or other troubles. Potatoes from such a plot, provided they are of the right type and quality, are likely to make good seed because of their freedom from disease. CONTROL OF LETTUCE ROT Find Formaldehyde Checks Blight of Heads at Bay Port. East Lansing, Mich.—A treatment for soft rot of lettuce, a disease which annually is the cause of much loss to Michigan's truck, growers, has been hit upon by Ezra M. Levin of the experiment station of the college. "This soft rot of lettuce, which is ascribed to an organism called Bacterium virldillvtdum, starts first at the tips of the leaves," declares Mr. Levin. "These areas shrivel and curl and are marked off from the healthy WILL TRAIN FARMERETTES tissue by a definite line. With the "We are having these mixed for us I inner leaves the rot progresses very in Chicago from the pure grain. Upon deeply into the head, turning their being received by us here, this feed is [ tender leaves into a gluey slime. Eventually the whole head rots, making the growing of head lettuce ln some seasons very precarious. Losses of 50 per cent in the field are not uncommon. "Remarkable control of the disease can be obtained "by spraying diseased plants with formaldehyde, one pint to 30 gallons of water. In tests in 1916 at Bay Port the disease was checked by the treatment in fields which were about to be given up as a total loss. In 1917 spraying with formaldehyde also completely checked the troubla In an adjoining field, the owner, seeing the success of t h e formaldehyde treatment, sprayed a portion of his field. In the sprayed portion the disease was checked, while ln the onsprayed field the crop showed a high percentage of rotting." II. A. C. Plans Courses in Dairying and Poultry for Young Women. East Lansing, Mich.—College courses to agriculture, which by a sort of unwritten law have in the past been always more or less closed to the feminine sex, will be opened to women this fall by M. A. C. The first intimation of the proposed innovation was afforded a lew days ago ln the recently issued college catalogue, ln which this statement ts found: "Young women enrolling in the de- .pertment of home economics will be permitted, if they so desire, to substitute poultry and dairying for certain of What has heretofore been required By HIRAM MOE GREENS.

Some one of .you—Lemuel Jones I guess It was—said the last time 1 was out to your house for Sunday dinner, that I hardly ever came around and almost never wrote, unless It was about money matters. Well, I guess that Lem is about right, but as the fellow said when some one offered him sympathy because he lost a couple of fingers in a corn shredder, "You can't feel any worse about It thaji I do." I'm sorry that this unfortunate affair that we are in Is taking so much money. But I'm glad right down to the very bottom of my heart that we can raise the money to see the whole thing through. I know you will raise It—but we'll come to that later. The other day I was in New York and I went out to see one of those big transports for soldiers. There were little tugs all around her waiting to get her headed straight Into the stream and further down, near the Statue of Liberty some battleships "were waiting to convoy the transport. It was an Interesting sight. It meant so much. And I couldn't keep my Adam's apple in its place, and there was a kind of a mist before my eyes—until through the tears I was trying to hold back, I saw Eb Root's boy, George, looking over the rail on the top deck. The last time I had seen him he was cultivating corn on that ten acre piece down on the state road next to Asa Hafford's, Somehow when I saw that boy up there I didn't want to cry. My blood got warm Instead of cold and every muscle in my body was as taut as a violin string. My heart Just swelled in jay body. In all my life I never felt so jroud and so much like being able to Ight. as I did then. And I said to myself. "There goes Tb Root's boy, George. He Is only one »oy in a million and more that are ver there now. But there are others .Ike him, and the folks back home they •'ill stand back of him. and all, everyhlng. that he and his comrades, and 'he ships and the men and the flag that 'ies over them stood for." I could not feel and I do not feel «ow, that the folks back home would raste anything that might help to •ring George Root back. I know Just is well as I know my own name that ieorge Root and the boys like him rould not offer themselves as the sureme sacrifice to our cause, and those or whom they were fighting be small nd niggardly about doing their part. During this coming year it will be necessary for ns to spend twenty-four dlllon dollars. It Is a tremendous sum. iut Is not too much to pay for a world .t peace, with us all as free as God ntended we should be.

Peanuts and pean .t butter are foods which take the place of meats and are cheap in price. Various other nuts, when reasonable in price and equally nutritious, should be used often to take the place of meat Peanut L o t f.— Soak a quart of fine bread crumbs ^n milk ; mix with it a cup of shelled peanuts finely ground; add an egg well beaten, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix as the usual meat loaf and bake about as long. Serve with tomato sauce. Cook a pint of tomatoes with half an onion, four cloves, a piece of bay leaf, sprig of parsley and a blade of mace. When well cooked, strain. Put two tablespoonfuls of butter ln a saucepan, add a slice of onion, brown and add two tablespoonfuls of flour. When smooth add the tomato; season with salt and pepper and serve. Pea Timbales.—Cook a pint of peas until tender, the^n mash through a colander and beat the pulp to a paste. To this add two well-beaten eggs, two tablespoonfuls of melted fat, onion Juice; pepper and salt to season. When well blended, place in buttered molds and bake until done. Peas on Toast—Prepare a rich, white sauce, stir in a few cooked peas, season well and serve on buttered toast. This is a simple and easy dish to prepare, but most wholesome and nutritious. Asparagus prepared in the same way with a hard-cooked egg or two is a well-relished dish and very sustaining. Scalloped Cheese.—Cheese in its different forms is an excellent substitute for meat. Cottage cheese, which may be made in the home, is a most versatile one to use in many ways. Take any good flavored cheese, cut in small pieces and use ln layers in a baking dish with small cubes of bread; repeat until the dish Is full. Beat two eggs, add salt and pepper to taste and mix with pint of milk. Pour this custard over the bread and cheese and bake until set. Serve hot as a lunch* "»on or supper dish.

Cheese is so nutritious, an ounce being equal to two ounces of meat, without its waste. Cheese is particularly good with starchy foods and foods lacking in fat and flavor. C h e e s e s h o u l d be bought ln such quantities that there need be no waste, as it molds very easily. Grate all the small pieces left over and put them In a glass with a tight cover; keep cool and dry. Cooking cheese at too high a temperature makes It difficult of digestion. When possible, cook It at a low temperature or in the hot mixture just long enough to melt It. A tablespoonful of cheese will add flavor to some dish, and not even a scrap should be thrown away. Fried Cheese Sandwiches,—These are sufficiently sustaining to serve as a main dish with a, salad. Take thin slices of cheese, sprinkle with pepper and salt or other seasoning if liked, put as a filling Into sandwiches, then brown the sandwiches on both sides in a little hot olive oil. Cheese Balls.—Add a dash of tobasco sauce to a small amount of cottage cheese which has been well seasoned; make pink with paprika and roll into small balls. Roll the balls in finely minced black walnut meats. Serve on lettuce with French dressing. Hashed Brown Potatoes With Cottage Cheese. Chop cold boiled potatoes fine and season well with s a l t pepper and onion juice. Mix with enough milk to help brown when turned into' the pan, which is greased with some sweet fat or oil. Cook the potatoes slowly without stirring until they are brown underneath. Meanwhile mix cream with cottage cheese until It spreads easily, adding chopped onion, chives, parsley or pimentos, a little left-over ham, or chili sauce, and spread oyer the potatoes; then fold like an omelet and turn out on a hot platter at ones. T*e a d d flavor, if not llkad In the cheese, may be removed by the addition of a.pinch of soda when mixing the cheese with the The Citizens Mutual Automobile Insurance Company Howell, Michigan WILLIAM E.

The fanners, business men, lawyers and bankers in the small cities and country districts of the State gave their support to the Citizens Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, of Howell, from the beginning. The Company is now starting Its fourth season and has written over 35,- 000 policies. Over 940 claims have been promptly paid and over $130,000 paid which covers fire claims, theft IOSSPP and claims brought against the owner of the car due to injury to persons or property. The Company has been well managed, and has been in good financial standing at nil times. It has a new office building completed and paid for, with a surplus of about $70,000. The •members join on the mutual plan, and payments are made twelve months from the date of last assessment. The wonderful growth of this Company enables the payment of from 40- 50 claims per month. But few owners of automobiles will drive a single day without automobile insurance. Bankers and lawyers tell their clients to insure in the Citizens Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, of Howell, as the Company is well established and strong enough to meet the shock of serious losses, and the rate is only $1.00 for policy and 25c per H.

WM. S B E H A F B R i- v £# *-•;:#$ Profits and Prices Profits may be considered from two angles: l$t—Their effect on prices; 2nd—A* a return to investors. When profits are small as compared with sales, they have little effect on prices. Swift & Company's profits are only a fraction of a cent per pound on all products sold, and if eliminated entirely would have practically no effect on prices. Swift & Company paid 10 per cent dividends to over 20,000 stockholders out of its 1917 profits. It also had to build extensions and improvements out of profits; to finance large stocks of goods made necessary by unprecedented requirements of the United States and Allied Governments; and to provide protection against the day of declining markets. /« it fair to call this profiteering ?

F1SMES, GREAT GERMAN SUPPLY BASE, FALLS INTO THE HANDS OF AMERICANS So Fast Has Been the German Retreat in the Center That Already Some Elements of Their Forces Have Reached the Northern Bank of Aisne. Washington.—The German retreat continues unabated, with the Allies everywhere in hot pursuit. Apparently the situation has resolved itself Into a race for the northern bank of the Aisne river by the Germans, who have been evicted from strategic positions along the Vesle river in the center of the line and directly east of Rhelma, which seemingly renders necessary they put the Aisne between themselves and their pursures as quickly as possible in order to escape further large losses of men made prisoners. Just how large this bag of captives is at present cannot be reckoned but unofficial advices from Paris assert that when the official figures are made public they will thrill the Allied world. General Pershing in his communication says the Americans alone have taken 8,400 prisoners and 133 guns. Yanks Take Fismes. After hard fighting Americans and French have taken from the Germans the important town of Fismes, once Germany's great munition and supply depot, midway on the railway between Solssons and Rheima, while to the east at a number of places along the Vesle river the French have crossed the stream, driving the enemy northeastward. East of Soissons Allied troops have crossed the Aisne to the northern bank of that stream, where they are in a position to harass the enemy as he endeavors to straighten out his line in conformity with that running northwestward. So fast has been the retreat of Germans in the center that already some elements of their forces have reached the northern bank of the Aisne and lugged big guns across with them. All through the salient towns are ablaze behind 'he retreating Germans, and even cornfields have been- set afire in order to prevent Allied troops garnering the ripened crop. The fighting along the Vesle river was of a sanguinary character as long as it lasted. With the river at freshet and Germans unable to ford it, they stood with their back to it and gave BOY PLAYED WAR GAME; RESCUED BY POLICEMAN Harrisburg, Pa.—Rescued from an ash barrel by a policeman after he had been cut and bruised by bricks and stones Russel Jones, aged 11, declared that the next time he plays "war some other boy will have to be the Kaiser. Jones and several of his companions of the same age decided on the war game and youngsters were named to represent the Allied nations. It was suggested that there would have to be an enemy, so Jones was elected. No sooner was the drive against the Kaiser started than Jones was picked up bodly and thrown into the barrel. Bricks' and stones were following in quick succession when the policeman | appeared, declared peace and rescued the Kaiser. eral. who is investigating expend! tures of Teuton funds in this country. Evidence, which had been obtained through the inquiry, Indicates, Mr Becker said, that the money reached these agents through Dr. Edward A Rumely, who was indicated by a fed eral grand Jury here, on a charge ol perjury in connection with alleged German purchase of the New Yorfc Evening Mail. LU0EN00RF SAYS "STAKE NOT WAS WORTH THE COST" General Ludendorff of the German Army Gives Out Thia Statement to German Newspaper Reporters. Amsterdam.—"The enemy ' evaded us on July 15, and we thereupon, as early as the evening of the sixteenth broke off operations. It is always our endeavor to stop an undertaking aB soon as tiie stake is not worth the cost. I consider it one of my principal duties to spare the blood and strength of our soldiers." General Ludendorff, first quarterbattle for their Uvea. A majority of • " " " w n e r a l of the German army, •'.•psu>.* them were killed and the remainder were made prisoner. One of the most important maneuvers north of the Vesle was the penetration by the French to the village of La Neuvillette, which releases the German hold on the northern outskirts of Rheims and seemingly delivers the cathedral city from the German menace. With the Germans now thoroughly vanquished thus far on the Soissons- Rheims salient, eyes are being turned to the regions in the northwest on both sides of Amiens. Here the French and British are keeping up their hard pressure against armies of Crown Prince Rupprecht, of Bavaria, and have forced them on two highly important sectors to retreat Germans Withdraw Near Albert. Southeast of Amiens on the old Montdidier sector, Germane have fallen back across th. Avre river over a wide front, while northeast of Amiens, in the region of Albert a similar retrograde movement has been made across the Ancre. The German official communication in admitting the withdrawal near Albert declares the maneuver was carried out without interference by the British. Just what bearing these new offensives will have on the fighting front to which Germans ultimately retreat for a stand in the Aisne region cannot yet be forecast, but should Allied troops press back the line for material gains eastward it is not improbable it would dislocate the entire Gennan Use in the south, " 'Them again has been considerable activity on the Italian mountain front, wnefpjat several points Italians hare attacked .and defeated Austrian*. ftjlfft Thousands For Crop Data.

Referring to General Poch, General Ludendorff continued: "His plan was undoubtedly to cut off the entire arc of our front south of the Aisne by a break-through on the flank. But with the proved leadership of our seventh and ninth armies that was quite impossible. "We reckoned with an attack on July 18 and were prepared for it. Tho enemy experienced very heavy losseB and Americans and African auxiliary troopR, which we do not underesti. mate, suffered severely. "By the afternoon of the nineteenth we already were fully masters of the situation and shall remain so. We left the abandoned ground to the enemy according to our regular plan. 'Gain of ground' and 'Marne' are only catch wordB without importance for the issue of the war. We are now, ai before, confident." Field Marshal von Hindenburg also dilated on how economically troops of Germany had been used. He said: "This circumstance, and supply considerations, decided our measures, and we transferred the fighting to favorable ground where the troops could easily be supplied, "We all want pecae, but it must be peace with honor."

Washington—In accordance with the pre-arranged plan for the Navy to take over control of all shipping engaged in transporting troops and war supplies, orders have been issued by the Navy Department calling to the colors several thousand reservists. The Dumber, it was stated officially, was limited only by the available facilities for handling them at training stations. After undergoing a few week's Intensive training the men will be organized into crews which will be utilised to replace the civilian sailors now manning troop and supply ships and for the vessels constantly being turned orer to the Navy under its own construction program. To hasten the process of transferring the military tonnage, heads of the various bureaus have begun a strict canvass of the men on shore duty in their organisations, to determine how many can be spared. At Marine Corps headquarters, orders have been issued to detach all men whose places can be filled by women. They will be sent to one of the corps stations for duty with a unit. Similarly, Rear Admiral McGowao, paymaster general of the Navy, has started a campaign for the reduction in the number of petty officers, yeomen and enlisted men, who are filling clerical positions. The Bureau of Navigation, under Rear Admiral Palmer, was the first to undertake such a step STATE MEN BATTLE AT MARNE Many State Men Battling At Fere-en- Tardenois, Detroit—Detroit and Michigan men are believed to have been in the fighting east of Fere-en-Tardenois, announcement being made at Washing. 112,^375.111ton t h a t t h e Forty-second division had 14,879.34 been in the fighting, 8i7i92 94 T h e 0 n e H u n d r e d a n d Seventeenth liUoiih I sanitary train from Michigan is a 24169¾ I m e m D * r o f t h e u n i t - a n d many men 87!e5i 64 f r o m Detroit and other parts of the state are with the organization. • Major-General Charles T.

Pershing Reported to Gen. March Who Informed Military Committees, Washington—The American casualties in the present great offensive on the western front are estimated at 12,- 000 in killed, wounded and missing. Gen. Pershing thus reported to Gen. March, chief of staff, who so informed the members of the Senate Military Committee Saturday. Gen. March said American casualties a week ago were averaging 17 in 1,000 engaged and today they have increased to about 20 in each 1,000. This lx'dlcated the intensity of the fighting, ag well as the stiffening of the German resistance, due to their throwing picked shock troops "in against the Americans. The chief of staff alto said we now have passed the 1,300,000 mark in troops overseas. 7,000,000 BRITONS IN UNIFORM 5,000,000 Are Now Fghtlng In Foreign Theaters of War. AUGUST MARINE DRIVE MONTH Washington.—Lord Curzon, member of the British war cabinet, gave out figures recently in a speech, portions of which have been received here by wireless, which show the extent of the British war effort in manpower. Lord Curzon said that Great Brit, aln had given no fewer than 7,000,000 men and that 5,000,000 Britons were today fighting in foreign theaters of war. Allowing for casualties and pre. suming these figures to include the navy, they are taken as demonstrating the fact that the only troops In England now are men on leave and men In depots, either in the supply services or undergoing re-organization of units.

Washington—An army of 7,000,000> fighting men will be one result of the extension of draft ages between 18 and 46, in the opinion of the war department This is the fptnlmiiTTi of figures and It meant that every man of the 7,000,- 000 will be of the type and physique of those now on the battle front in France, Military men believe the class will yield many young men. From the class of 21 to 31, the country already has taken 3,000,000 youths of the best soldier material in history, almost all of whom are now in France. The clasa of 31 to 45 is set down for another 2,- 000,000 men. In one respect the tremendous figures recall President Wilson's "interogatory- answer" with reference to the army when he said, "Why limit it to- 5,000,000?" They mean the possibilities of our army are practically without limit. The 7,000,000 could be increased to 12,000,000 If need be. One war department estimate fixes 16,000,000 men as the number who will register, providing extensions are approved in the present forms. Secretary Baker made it emphatic that the new draft ages were determined solely by military considerations. He raid that inclusion of all Class 1, men between the ages of 18 and 45, -would be necessary to meet the army program. The secretary refused to state the number of fighting men which the Army experts estimate these new draft ages will provide, but unofficially Army officers estimated that they will be sufficient to maintain an army of 5,000,000 fighting men on foreign soil, after allowing for expected losses, troops needed in the supply lines, etc. When the present Class 1 is exhausted it is estimated that it will have supplied 3,300,000 men. This la an average of 300,000 a year for each of the 11 yearly classes stretching from 21 to 32 smce the addition of the new 21-year-old class in June. It is estimated that the addition of the ages 18, 19 and 20 will alone supply 2,000,000 men. The registrants of these ages will not have dependents, they are physically fit in much larger proportion than older men and they are not generally employed in essential industries.

After a short experience as a recruiting officer in London, he 1a sent to training quarters In France, where he first hearB the sound of big guns and makes the acquaintance of "cooties." After a brief period of training Empey's company is sent Into the front-line trenches, where he takee his first turn on the Are step While the bullets whiz overhead. Empey learns, as comrade falls, that death lurks always in the trenches. Chaplain distinguishes himself by rescuing wounded men nnder hot Are. With pick and shovel Empey has experience as a trench digger In No Man's Land. Exciting experience on listening post detail. Exciting work on observation post duty.

Soon afterwards Empey and his comrades repulse a determined gas attack launched by the Germans. CHAPTER XXIII—Continued. I shouted to the driver to stop, and in bis nervousness he put on the brakes. We nearly pitched out headfirst But the applying of those brakes saved our lives. The next instant there was a blinding flash and a deafening report. AJl that I remember is that I was flying through the air, and wondering if I would land In a soft spot. Then the lights went out When I came to, Atwell was pouring •water on my head out of his bottle. On the other side of the road the corporal was sitting, rubbing a lump on his forenead with his left-hand, while his right arm was bound up In a bloodsoaked bandage. He was moaning very loudly. I had an awful headache and the skin on the left side of my face was full of gravel and the blood -was trickling frona my nose. But that ambulance was turned over in the.ditch and was perforated with holes from fragments of the shell. One of the.front wheels was slowly revolving, so I could not have been "out' for a long period. The shells were still screaming overhead, but the battery bad raised "its fire and they were bursting In a little wood about half a mile from us. Atwell *poke up. "I wish that officer hadn't wished us the best o' luck." Then he commenced swearing. I couldn't help laughing, though my head was nigh to bursting. Slowly rising to my feet I felt myself all over to make sure that there were no broken bones. But outside of a few bruises and scratches I was all right. The corporal was still moaning, but more from shock than pain. A shell splinter had gone through the flesh of his right forearm. Atwell and I, from our nrst*aid pouches, put a tourniquet on his arm to stop the bleeding and then gathered up our equipment We realized that we were In a dangerous spot At any minute a shell might drop on the road and finish us off. The village we had left was not very far, so we told the corporal he had better go back to It and get his arm dressed, and then report the fact of the destruction of the ambulance to the military police. He was well able to walk, so he set off in the direction of the village, while Atwell and I continued our way on foot Without further mishap we arrived at our destination, and reported to brigade headquarters for rations and billets. That night we slept in the battalion sergeant major's dugout The next morning I went to a first-aid post and had the gravel picked out of my face. The Instructions we received from division headquarters read that we were out to catch spies, patrol trenches, search German dead, reconaoiter in No Man's Land, and take part in trench raids and prevent the robbing of the dead. t had a pass which would allow me to go anywhere at any time in the sector of the line held by our division. It gave me authority to stop and search ambalJEftcea, fcietor lorries, wagena and even officers and soldtoa, whenever my suspidoM deemed it aaeeaaary. Atwell sad ? war* aftewed to wot* together or singly—it was left to oar Judgment We decided to team op. Mwetl was a good companion and entertaining. He had an otter for danger, bat was not foot- At swearing he was a A dMftlry proud of him. Though born in England, he had spent several years In New York. He was about six feet one, and as strong as an ox. We took up our quarters In a large dugout of the royal engineers, and mapped out our future actions. This dugout was on the edge of a large cemetery, and several times at night in returning to it, we got many a fall stumbling over the graves of English, French and Germans. Atwell on these occasions never indulged In swearing, though at any other time, at the least stumble, he would turn the air blue. A certain section of our trenches was held by the Royal Irish rifles. For several days a very strong rumor went the rounds that a German spy was In our midst. This spy was supposed to be dressed In the uniform of a British staff officer. Several stories bad been told about an officer wearing a red band around his cap, who patrolled the front-line and communication trenches asking suspicious questions as to location of batteries, machine-gun emplacements, and trench mortars. If a shell dropped in a battery, on a machine gun or even Dear a dugout, this spy was blamed. The rumor gained such strength that an order was Issued for all troops to Buried With Honors. immediately place under arrest anyone answering to the description of the spy. Atwell and I were on the qui rive. We constantly patrolled the tranches at night and even In the day, hot the spy always eluded us. One day while In a communication trench, we were horrified to see oar brigadier general, Old Pepper, being brought down it by s big private of the Boyal Irish rifles. The general was walking In front and the private with fixed bayonet was following in the "None o* that gassin' out o' yon. Back to headquarters you goes, Mr. Fritz. Open that face o' youm again, an' Til dent in your uapper with the butt o' me rifle." The general's face WHS a sight to behold. He was fairly boiling over with rage, but he shut up. Atwell tried to get In front of the sentry to explain to him that it really was the general he had under arrest but the sentry threatened to run his bayonet through him, and would have done it, too. So Atwell stepped aside, and remained silent I was nearly bursting with suppressed laughter. One word, and I would have exploded. It is not exactly diplomatic to laugh at your general in such a predicament The sentry and his prisoner arrived at brigade headquarters with disastrous results to the sentry. The joke was that the general had personally issued the order for the spy's arrest It was a habit of the general to walk through the trenches on rounds of inspection, unattended by any of bis staff. The Irishman, being new In the regiment had never seen the general before, so when be came across him alone in a communication trench, he promptly put him under arrest. Brigadier generals wear a red band around their caps. Next day we passed the Irishman tied to the wheel of a limber, the beginning of his sentence of twenty-one days, field punishment No. 1. Never before have I seen such a woebegone expression on a man's face. For several days, Atwell and I made ourselves scarce around brigade headquarters. We did not want to meet the general. The spy was never caught CHAPTER XXIV. The Firing Squad. A few days later I had orders to report back to divisional headquarters, about thirty kilos behind the line. I reported to the A. P. M. (assistant provost marshal). He told me to report to billet No. 78 for quarters and rations. It was about eight o'clock at night and I was tired and soon fell asleep in the straw of the billet. It was a miserable night outside, cold, and a drizzly rain was falling. About two In the morning I was awakened by some one shaking me by the shoulder. Opening my eyes I saw a regimental sergeant major bending over me. He had a lighted lantern In his right hand. I started to ask him what was the matter, when he put his finger to his lips for silence and whispered : "Get on your equipment, and, without any noise, come with me." This greatly mystified me, but I obeyed his order. Outside of the billet, I asked him what was up, but he shut me up with: "Don't ask questions, It's against orders. I don't know myself." It was raining like the mischief. We splashed along a muddy road for about fifteen minutes, finally stopping LIKE HIS IMPERIAL MASTER f Von Buelow, Under the Wings of the German Eagle, Typical as of Ill- Omen to Mankind. From Brand Whltlock's story of German oppression In Belgium In Everybody's Magazine, we take the following account of a single incident that occurred In May, 1914, Just before the war. Mr. Whitlock, with other diplomats, was the dinner guest of Mr. Von Buelow, the German minister to Belgium. "We were standing by a table In the corner of the room, and from among the objets d'art the various trinkets, the signed photographs in silver frames, with which It was loaded, he drew forward a silver bowl that he used as a cendrler. As 1 dropped the ash of my cigar into It, I noticed that It was pierced on one tide near the rim by a perfectly round hole, the Jagged edges of which were thrust inward; plainly a bullet hole; doubtless it had a history. I asked him. " T e s ^ a bullet hole,' he said. Tn China It stood on my desk, and one day during the riots a bullet came through the window and went right through I f "Several of the guests pressed np to see; such a bowl with its jagged bullet hole and a history was an excellent subject for conversation; the German minister had to recount the circumstances several times. " 1 have never had a post* be enld. 'where there has not'been trouble; in Turkey it "was the revolution; in China it was the Boxers. I am a bird of tilomen.'*' at the entrance of Witt must hsya been an old barn. In the darkness, X could hear pigs grunting, as If they had just been disturbed. In front of the door stood an officer tn a mack (mackintosh). The II. S. M. went up to him, whiapered something, and then left. This officer called to rae, asked my name, number and regiment, at the same time, In the light of u lantern he was holding, making a notation in a little book. When he had finished writing, he whispered : MGo into that billet and wait orders, and no talking. Understand?" I stumbled Into tite barn and sat on the floor in the darknesw. I could see no one, but could hear men breathing and moving; they seemed nervous and restless. I know I was. During my wait, three other men entered. Then the officer poked his head in the door and ordered : "Fall In, outside the billet, in single rank." We fell In, standing at ease. Then he commanded: "Squad—'Shun 1 Number!" There were twelve of us. "Right—Turn r Left—Wheel 1 Quick —March I" And away we went. The rain was trickling down my back and I was shivering from the cold. With the officer leading, we must have marched over an hour, plowing through the mud and occasionally stumbling into a shell bole In the road, when suddenly the officer made a left wheel, and we found ourselves tn a sort of enclosed courtyard. The dawn was breaking and the rain had ceased. In front of ua were four stacks of rifles, three to a stack. The officer brought us to attention and gave the order to unplle arms. We each took a rifle. Giving us "Stand at ease," in a nervous and shaky voice, he informed : "Men, you are here on a very solemn dufy. You have been selected as a firing squad for the execution of a soldier, who, having been found guilty of a grievous crime against king and country, has been regularly and duly tried and sentenced to be shot at S:28 a. m. this date. This sentence has been approved by the reviewing authority and ordered carried out. It Is our duty to carry on with the sentence of the court. "There are twelve rifles, one of which contains a blank cartridge, the other eleven containing ball cartridges. Every man Is expected to do his duty and fire to kill. Take your orders from me. Squad—'Shun 1" We came to attention. Then he left My heart was of lead and my knees shook. Empey, in the next installment tells the gripping story of a "coward," whose streak of yellow turned white. (TO B E CONTINUED.) Changes in Men's Clothes. Fashion Is doing Its bit too. The International Custom Cutters' convention ruled out patched pockets, belts and turned-up trousers. If they would only go back to the old-fashioned shirt cuffs, sew the buttons on the trousers on the outside of the waist band, and take off a yard or two ot the four-lnhand neckties we would »et somewhere near where the weary are at rest. They already have made overcoats fit more closely In order to save material, but they dissipate that saving by making sack coats a trifle longer. Of course, there is a sort of economy in a long sack coat for In ruling out the patched pockets all other patches are, doubtless, included. It Is quite hard for a fashion convention to make a mistake if It only changes the styles.—Ohio State Journal. We sainted as the i n t r a ! passed oa.

In Idaho there exists a species of the acacia tree that Is entitled to be classed as one of the wonders of plant life. The tree attains a height of about eight feet. When full-grown It closes its leaves In coils each day at sunset. When the tree has thus settled Itself for a night's sleep, It will flutter violently If touched, and If you shake the branches It will emit a nauseating odor strong enough to bring on a headache. In Idaho It is called the "angry tree," and it is said that it was discovered by some men who were making a camp for the night, and placed one end of a canvas covering over one of the sensitive branches for support. Immediately the tree began to jerk Its branches sharply. The motion continued with increased "nervousness," until at last there came a sickening odor that drove the tired men to a more hospitable camping place. Too Much for Ananias.

Dear Mother: We left Camp Custer Saturday at 11 a. rm and arrived in New York last night about 6 o'clock. It was a wonderful trip and I certainly enjoyed it immensely. When we got to Detroit the Red Cro88 ladies met ua at the train with sandwiches, cake and milk, and we certainly appreciated it. Though ws were fed on the train it was all old stuff. After we crossed the riv- • fit into Canada the R. C. ladies passed oat stamped post cards and took the n up to mail after the boys had written words home. We arrived at Buffalo about 2 o'clock Sunday morning. I happened to wake up as we were going over Niagara river and was sorry it was dark as I would have liked to have seen the place. When we woke up in the morning we were in New York and just starting •through the Appalachain mountains. The first town we went through was Dansville, the prettiest town I ever saw. The train ran along the side of the mountain and the town was situatod in the valley. Everything appeared to be spotlessly clean. All day Sunday we traveled in the mountains-and I never dreamed there was such scenery outeLieof the National park. Sergeant Person said it resembled the scenery in Switzerland. The farming country in Canada is great—fields as level as a floor and the crops loefc fine. About 6 o'clock we Btopped at Fort Thomas, where the company and band got out and marched around town half an hour. About the only unpleasant thing about the trip was the sleeping accomodations, as we had to make the best of the day coached About eight.S o'clock Sunday morning we stopped at Elmira and walked around a bit to stretch ourselves and the R. C. ladies served lunch. About 1 p. m. we arrived at Scranton, .Pa. There are lots of coal mines here and the city runs clear up into the mountains.* Tne best scenery oi all came after we left Scranton. All along the line were swell summer resorts where the idie rich come to hang out during the summer. We arrived at New Yo.k about 6 p. m., were ferried over to Long Island and took a train to the camp, about an hours ride. We Lave to sleep in tents here as there are no barracks. There are no drill fields here either so we don't have much to do unless we have a chance to visit New York City before we leave. Long Island is iust like a large park. Some of the richest people in the country have summer homes out here. Airplanes are beginning to bean old story already as the air has been full of them all' morning. They use them to guard the Camp. We have inspection soon after which the band gives a concert. It is pretty soft here and everyone seems to like it. July 17th.—Don't expect to be here much longer than this week from v hat we hear now. Yesterday we drew a lot of new clothing—overcoat, blouse, , wrap leggins, etc. Outside of physical exercise that was all we had to do all da}\ Last night t h e band went to Mineola, a little surburban and played for an entertainment the dance. Haven't been able to get a pass to the city yet, but may be able to do so this p. rn. Last night another fellow and myself went to a little town just outside and went to a musical comedy. We brought ~ back a watermelon that made us sweat to carry it but it certainly was good. There are some men here—about 90*000 and men from every part of the U. S. We will probably go to England from here, bat do not expect to stay here long. Of coarse this is all guess worx. There are some men hereuntil I notify-tou of o change. .Beaded**•*• Co., $#<& Infanlry ^ Clm>Wle^I>>i^»^arKifN. Y.

DISEASE IS SPREAD BY RAIN Sivestloatlona by Experiment Station Disclose That July Rains Bring August Blight • y OR. O. H. COON8, Plant Patholoi gist Michigan Agricultural College. I Bast Lansing, Mich.—The late potato crop in Michigan Is In many sections the important money crop. Growers who remember the disastrous losses of 1912 and 1915 when the crop blighted badly and rotted In the field are asking themselves "What about the blight Ithia year?" Indeed, the big question to be asked about the Michigan tuber crop is not a question of price, but lone of soundness. Will the crop escape the ravages of this most serious Of all plant diseases or will one-fourth to ooe<half of it rot in the ground and In storage? The weather holds the answer to toils question. Late blight of potatoes is a fungous disease and as such is markedly influenced by the weather (conditions. The late blight fungus thrives and spreads in cool wet weather. Hot, dry seasons while not so Ifavorable for growth of the tubers carry freedom from blight. Significant as Is the relation to rainy weather, yet it must hot be] Ithought that the coming of blight :-. a chance affair depeoden! on this heavy rain or that. Plant pathologists^ bf the Michigan experiment station J have found that thea-elation of late blight epidemics to wit weather fs a very definite one and they have learned how to predict whor late blight threatens the crop.

The farmer whose land ia right can get a bumper yield If be will spray. He should do this consistently every year. He can add enough bushels to the acre to more than pay for his labor and material. He has as well insurance against blight. The question as to whether potatoes will blight or not is answered. Watch the weather of July. If Jul* *• C01* and wet like it was In 1915, blight is threatening. If July is a month of drought with rainfall below the average then there will be no blight. We recommend spraying every year to men who are speclallaing In potatoes and who know that their soil la capable of producing a good crop. For the ordinary field while safety comes from full preparedness it seems that our knowledge of weather relations lets us foresee the danger and fore* stalrlt. ALBION BOY HAS BEST PIG Rae E. White Wins First Place Among Members of Boys and Girls' Clubs. Bast Lansing, Mich.—First prise as a raiser of pigs mong the boys' and girls* dubs of _ Michigan has been awarded by the boys and girls' clubs department of the Michigan Agricultural college to Rae B. White, a member of the Pig-Raising club at Albion, in Jacksoa county. The Albion boy, who is seventeen years of age, secured a pig from a local farm and in the course of the year cleared a net profit of $44.95 from the animal. Several hundred other boys In itne state were among the contendersttor pig-raising honors, for under the stimulus of boys' and girls' clubs leaders of M. A. C, a small army of farmers' sons and daughters,har« been Interested in live sto^k projects. All the young people are required to keep exact accounts of all expenses and profits paid out and obtained from their stock.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Grading U becoming more and more customary in the sale and purchase of eggs, and a knowledge of candling Is essential to egg grading. It is only by candling that producers and shippers of eggs can be certain that they are complying with federal. state and other regulations, because by this method one can determine the freshness and quality of eggs. The process, In simple terms, Is to hold an egg*jbefore a shaded light In a dark room, and by noting certain characteristics seen through the semltraneparent shell to determine its «ible and marketable qualities. * i Farmers with only a few eggs to market may improvise a candier by placing a stovepipe over a kerosene lamp, cutting a small hole in the pipe, level with the light. The eggs la held in a slanting position at the opening; It is twisted a few times to the right and left and then from end to end, so that its entire contents may be visible, Care should be taken that the fingers or hand do not conceal small blemishes, which otherwise would be dieclosed by the light. The beginner should study carefully the general formation of an egg, as this detailed knaw^edge is necessary for the application of the standards of various grades and qualities. The yolk ranges In color from light yellow to orange, and Is occasionally olive green. The eggs with olive green yolks are less desfrable because of this oolor, but are considered edible. The yolk is contained in a delicate membrane and on its surface is a small light-colored circular area called the germinal disk, from ^Vhtch the chick develops. The yolk always floats In the white with the chick spot on top. Around the yolk lies a small quantity of thin white and then a heavy layer of thick white.

The distribution of blight In those years was found to Jbe exactly that of the heavy rainfall feireas—this might .readily be expected, put the interesting and Important discovery was made that the rainfall that determined blight was not that of the months of August and September In which the actual blighting and rot- rng occurred, but was that of July. , The explanation of the relationship [of July weather to the blighting that loccurred tn the latter months is found {in the life story of the fungus that s responsible for the wholesale damage. The fungi" causing late blight not live over In the soil, but Is Serried to the fields In the tubers. Probably every lot of seed carries more or lees of this fungous trouble. When the partially blighted seed stock Is planted the fungus grows Into the sprouts and first appears as a blight 8? the first leaves. Only a plant here land there in the fields Is affected. If kbe disease is to establish Itself in othjar plants It must have wet conditions, prom the original sources the blight •sVtsflTF wltfc every rain.

It is good one season as well as another, declare the pathologists. With fertile soil and good cultivation, spraying will make the plants yield better. This comes about from the fact that the bordeaux hours at 10 cents an hour), $2; veterinarian's fees, none; cost of pasture at one-half cent per day, $1.00; total cost of raising hog, $30.06; receipts from sale of hog, estimated at close of contest, $75 (with seven pigs); net profit, $44.05. Look for Plant Diseases. A squad of five men In the employ of the federal department of agriculture, co-operating with the Michigan Agricultural college, have been sent out in the state to ascertain where losses from plant diseases have been suffered by farmers. Wherever these losses have been general and unusually heavy la the case of wheat, rye, barley and oats an organised effort win be made to secure treatment of seed for next season, so that damage cam bo prevented, or %t least leavened.

Fresh Beef Travels on a Rapid Schedule Fresh beef for domestic markets goes from stockyards to retail stores within a period of about two weeks* Although chilled, this meat is not frozen; hence it cannot be stored for a rise in price. A steer is dressed usually within twenty-four hours after purchase by the packer. The beef is held in a cooler at the packing house, at a temperature a little above freezing, for about three days. It is then loaded into a refrigerator car where a similar temperature is maintained, and is in transit to market on an average of about six days. Upon arrival at the branch distributing house, it is unloaded into a "cooler", and placed on sale. Swift 8c Company requires all beef to be sold during the week of arrival, and the average of sales is within five days.

The else of this air space is Important In determining the freshness of the egg. As the egg ages the air space Increases in size. Most bad eggs have enlarged air spaces. A fine, thick white is found In a [ fresh egg, and a weak thin white In a stale egg. As the egg becomes stale the amount of thick white decreases. Several classes of bad eggs are Indicated by discolored whites: The yolk of the fresh egg when twirled before the candle is seen dimly as a dark object moving slowly in the white. The yolk of a stale egg Is seen more plainly than that of the fresh egg. When the yolk Is so weak that the shake of the egg in candling causes It to break It should be graded as unmarketable. In the fresh egg the yolk Is slightly above the ©enter in the large end of the egg. As the egg becomes stale the yolk floats higher and nearer the shell. The start of incubation la a fertile egg may be detected by a reddlstl gtov stanoandtng the germinal spot. (Sock eggs, although considered ofthat, ere \ not graded as firsts.)

SENT OVERSEA Victory Bread Will Be the Only White Bread Baked in Bakeries Throughout U. 8. Washington—Release of hotels and public eating places from the voluntary pledge to use no wheat until the aew harvest was in, is announced by the food administration. Homes opgrated on the same basin are also re« eased. This action follows receipt of a cable from Food Administrator Hoover in conference with Allied countries in England. He has received reQulrenents of Aiyed nations for the coming rear and their estimates of their own wheat yields. Announcement is expected shortly !rom these conferences that the entire Allied world has enough wheat to ibandon its extreme wheat conservation plans and that all will share alike In the wheat that they have pooled. Abandonment of the wheatless period and days does not mean that pure wheat bread again will be used. Victory bread" is to come into universal use and it will be the only white bread baked In the bakeries of the United States, served by its restaurants, and used in its patriotic homes. Victory bread is SO per cent wheat flour and 20 per cent substitutes. About 5,000 hotel men gave the wheatless pledge and it is estimated that they, with the dining cars and clubs and other public eating places, laved from October 1, 1917 to August, 1918, between 17S.000.000 and 200,000,- 500 pounds of wheat and its products 150,000,000 pounds of meats and 50,- 000,000 pounds of sugar. With householders who allied themieivea in the wheatless movement they iccumulated a reserve of 140,0Q0,000 bushels of wheat which was sent to [ Europe. BOARD WANTS SHIPPING DIVIDED Enemy Shipping When Seized Should Be Parceled Among Allies. London.—"We consider that no peace would be satisfactory which did aot enforce surrender of enemy shipping and inflict drastic and exemplary punishment for the enemy's crimes it sea." This is the judgment of a committee, named by the board of trade, which corresponds to the United 3tates department of commerce, to consider British shipping after the war. The committee recommends that enemy shipping, when seized, should be divided among the countries whose shipping has suffered, or be told, so as to exclude enemy or neutral buyers. The committee recommends that the government relinquish its control over merchantmen, when peace :omes, and that efforts be made to [ build 2,000,000 tons of merchant ships innually after the war. 6REAT LAKES STRIKE AVERTED Following Conference With Chairman Hurley Leaders Call Off Strike.

"John," remarked the fair one, after a sound that might have been either kissing or swatting mosquitoes, "there is something that I want you to explain to me." "All right, dearest," cheerfully assented John Henry. "What is It?" "Why Is it," responded Edythe May, **that you frequently say that you like me all the more because I am so changeable?" "Because, dear one," explained John Henry^ "every time I kiss you it is like kissing another girl."—Philadelphia Evening Telegraph. Army Makes Record Meat Purchase. Chicago.—The largest single order for bacon and canned meats In the history of the world—99,560,000 pounds-of bacon and 134,000,000 pounds of canned meat—has Just been placed by the Quartermaster's Department, U. S. A., for the American Army overseas. Louis F. Swift, in commenting on this today, said the order will take the bacon from approximately 1,900,- 000 hogs, and If other work were dropped to produce it, would be equivalent to the total fcacon production of the five largest Chicago packers for nearly five weeks. However, six months will elapse before delivery is to be completed. Mr. Swift said: "At the current prices on the day, Ifist week, wheu the purchase was made, the packers would pay the live stock producers about $80,000,000 for the necessary hogs and over $50,000,000 for about 900,000 cattle required. The cattle will cost us twice as much, and the hogs two and one-half times as much as In the pre-war period. The whole order will be made up before the first of the year, despite the fact that, even before this purchase, one-fourth of the packers' facilities have been devoted to filling military demands. In order to get out the canned goods the packers will find it necessary to employ night and day shifts of canners. Notwithstanding the fact that the products are being rushed forward thus hurriedly, not a single complaint has been received on meats delivered to the armies abroad. The five packers are now killing about 360,000 hogs weekly to keep abreast of martial and domestic needs."

CLOGGED ROADS ARE TAR6ETS FOR AIRPLANES Enemy Using Heavy Artillery Fire to Slow Up Allied Rushes But Meet With No Success—Allied Tanks Play Havoc Among German Machine Gunners. Paris—French advanced guards have reached the noith bank of the Ourcq river, and Allied troops have entered Fere-en-Tardenois, the great German Supply base, which Ilea In the middle line of the Aiane-Marne sector. The announcement of the war office July 28 adds, the villages of Anthenay and,. OJizy-et-Violaine, on the east flank lying to the southwest of Rheims: bave been occupied. The text of the statement reads: "tyorth of the Marne we have continued our onward march In the region of the Ourcq. Notwithstanding resistance of the enemy, who employed every effort to check our passage of the river, we threw advanced elements on the north bank. We have penetrated Into Fere-en-Tardenois. "Northeast of the forest of Ris we reached Champvioay. On the right our trqopa have occupied Anthenay and Olizy-et-Violaine and have approached appreciably the line of the road from Rhelms to Dormans. "In Champagne two enemy attempts in the region south of the mounts ware repulsed." Ul. ':<'•* With the American Army on the Aisfte-Marne Front—The German line Is again north of the Ourcq river, and Fere-en-Tardenois, which has been entered by French troops, is at the mercy of the Allies. Tightening of the flanks holds promise the retreat will be continued. The line along the great- ^ | j r part of the Soissons-Rheims salient ^rhtas been pushed forward in places as .snnch as five miles. Germans are bringing into play their artillery in force to check plunges of Franco-American troops. Americans hare played a brilliant part in the ad- Vance, which included occupation of •""" 8ergy, on the north bank of the river, and a number of small villages. The line follows the Ourcq river to Sergy and to Gouasan-ourt, the latter place lying about six miles north of the Marne. Germans offered bitter resistance, but not to compare -with that which began for retention ot higher ground further south of the river. There they supplemented their defense with artillery fire reaching over American front lines to the supports, the volume of fire at times attaining enormous pro- 1 portions. Not wavering, Americans held their ground and even advanced slightly, while the French on their sectors to the right and left resisted as steadily against vicious efforts of Germans. From behind advancing lines Allied heavy guns kept up a continuous bombardment throughout shelling German positions wherever airmen reached troop concentrations. Heavy artillery has been used by Germans in their rear guard actions, but to .no such extent as that on Sunday and this gives basis for belief von Boehm, German commander, is preparing to make a stand. It is pointed out however, that until the Ardre river is reached all advantages of ground are with the Allies. So it is .generally believed dropping back of his heavy guns is merely an Indication his armies are being withdrawn with all speed from a position which la.Intolerable and which unless relieved might result in disorganisation of what so far has been admittedly conducted as an orderly retreat The Americans began their advance on Sergy early in the day. They had bees driven back a short distance in the night, but when they moved back, forming cover of artillery—a few pieces going forward with the advanced line—they "proceeded almost unchecked to the river, crossed the bridge and occupied the town about mid-forenoon. Germans used gas, but the attacking party long ago had had its baptism of gas fumes and knew how to trtilise masks and to avoid ravines through which fumes filtered. When the town was occupied there was street lighting but not much. Germans reirssajag t o higher ground. ; TJatfi^feaneay wounds received by m--- -amerlcan soldiers have not been sersotts as a role, on account of failure of Ctermans to use artillery.

Evec sudden retirement has not relieved the German from constant harrying. In addition to hashing by the cavalry and pounding by the tank* lives of the German rear guards «are being made hazardous by Allied troops. Meanwhile Allied aviator* daringly fly a few hundred feet ovei head, bombarding and machine-gun ning German batteries and columns on the march. Tank crews have been heroes in this chaae and ever since commencement of the German retreat they have done remarkable work. After break ing up the enemy front line and pre paring the way for an advance of In fantry tanks throughout have continued to exploit the success gained. Tanks have even attacked enemy artillery batteries and killed all the gunners, thus permitting infantry tc capture many of these weapons, There Is not a tank on the section which has taken part in the fighting that has not from 15 to 20 machine guns to its credit. Most of the pri soners declare losses caused by tanks have been terrible. The line where the German with drawal has attained Its greatest depth is northeast of Chateau Thierry. The depth from that point gradually becomes narrower until it is quite small on nearing the eastern pivot m the front southwest of Rheims. Both here and around Soissons, the other pivot, the ground is admirably suited for defense. In the vicinity of these two points Germans have concentrated most of their artillery and large forces of infantry, knowing if a breach be made at either place by the Allies a great majority of the German troops occupying the remainder of the pocket must be sacrificed. On banks of the Marne south of the center of the salient not a single live German remains. Their sudden retreat, here was brought about by constant pressure of the French, Americans and British. Allied troops have kept constantly on the heels of the enemy and patrols have advanced considerably further than the line indicated. The method of retirement adopted by the enemy consists of first retiring one company from every two companies, then two sections from the remaining, company. Then the last section withdraws, leaving only a few men with machine guns to cover the retreat These men often are sacriflced, but sometimes they manage to rejoin their comrades and the maneuver is repeated. %< NORTH OF RIVER MARNE WORLD'S WORST BATTLE IN HISTORY 18 BEING FOUGHT .***'Vl ' & ' • & : . & • * 1 A stews night and -.fr With the French Army—With 70 German divisions officially identified in the fighting soae, the battle is the biggest in all history.

Detroit—Tremendous labor in behalf of the welfare of the American forces on Europeon battlefields by Michigan's women will be shown in the first general report of the work of the Michigan Red Croas. This report, covering seven months, from December 1, 1917, to June 31, 1918, will be made by Mrs. Delphine Dodge Ash« baugh of Detroit, state director of wo* men's work, at the northwestern Michigan war conference in Bay City, July 31 and August 1, when war workers of every degree and nature of activity will gather to further co-ordinate for the cause. Properly, the report will not cover all Michigan work, but only that of the Red Cross chapters of the lower peninsula. The upper peninsula chapters, because of railroad facilities, ship to Chicago, while Detroit is headquarters for the state below the straits. The magnificent total of 7,555,332 pieces of knit and sewed articles were made by the lower peninsula women in the seven months. When it 1B considered that there are hardly more than 3,000,000 people in Michigan, that a considerable number of these are males and babies, and that by no means a majority of the women of the state are in the Red Cross, the magnitude of the tasks performed by the chapter members will be appreciated. Surgical dressings naturally led. There were made 6,645,623 such dressings. Of hospital garments, 479,453 were sewed in Red Cross work rooms, while knit goods numbered 430,256 pieces and pairs. In the five months January 1 to May 1, Michigan women knit more than 77,000 sweaters, more than 96,000 pairs of socks and more than 61,000 cold weather trench helmets. The rest consisted of mufflers, wristlets, mittens and comfort kits. COAL SURPLUS 8,912,500 TONS WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE AGREE ON INCOME AND EXCESS PROFITS; TURN TO LUXURIES Chairman -K Itch In is Hopeful thi Measure Will Be Ready to Report When Sessions Resumed August 19. Washington.—Having disposed ot the Income tax and the tax on excess profits, the ways and means committee Monday will turn its attention to the problem of what luxuries shall } be taxed and how much articles under this classification shall be called upon to contribute to the, nation's revenues. The committee has made such satisfactory progress in agreeing on the new $8,000,000,000 bill that Chairman Kitchln is hopeful the measure will be ready to report to the house when its sessions are resumed August 19. Vote on the bill, however, may not come until September 1, as the agreement under which the recess was taken stipulated that the water power bill should have the right of way and | be disposed of before the revenue bill is taken up. Tax rates already agreed to by the committee are as follows: 1—Individual Income tax, normal rate fixed at 10 per cent, but the scale of supertaxes not yet worked out. 2—Corporation Income tax rate fixed at 18 per cent on the net income with provision that income dividend among shareholders shall be taxed only 12 per cent. 3—Inheritance taxes raised 50 per cent. 4—Excess profits fixed at 30 pei cent of the net item, less exemptions up to 10 per cent, 50 per cent on the income between 10 and 25 per cent and 8 per cent on the income over 25 per cent. The rat«B provide a flat exemption of $2,000 and 10 per cent. Estimated yield from these sources totals $4,340,000,000, leaving practically $3,500,000,000 to be raised by other taxes. The treasury department has estimated the tax to be raised on liquors, tobacco, jewelry, admissions, club memberships and items of that sort will produce about $913,000,000 for the current fiscal year. If these taxes should be arbitrarily doubled, as suggested by committee, the yield would be $1,826,000,000. Allowing for a slight decrease the committee feels sure on relying on at least $1,800,000,000 from these sources, of which $1,000,000,000 is expected to be derived from taxes on liquors of all kinds. Weekly Coal Requirement Exceeded Only Three Times in Year. Washington.—Though coal production of the United States is still hugging the high point production to date, for the coal year, is 8,912,500 ton* beyond estimated requirements, as figured by the fuel administration. Production tor the week ending July 20, in the bituminous fields was 12,950,000 tons. The high week was that ending July 13, with 13,274,000 net tons. For the last six weeks, excluding week of July 4, when there were but five working days, production has exceeded 12,000,000 tons a week, which up to this year has been a record in these fields. Average weekly requirements as figured by the fuel administration are 12,211,500 net tons. This weekly requirement has been exceeded only three weeks during the current year, beginning April 1. Further orders limiting fuel sup. piles to non-essential industries, may be expected from the fuel administration shortly. STRINGENT OIL SAVING URGED Russian Oil Fields Are Now in Enemy Hands Hence Allies Look to America For Their Supply. NEW DRAFT BILL AGES 20 TO 36 800,000 Men Taken From Class One During June and July. Washington—Inroads on class one of the selective draft registrants in the last two -weeks by the navy, marine corps, shipbuilding and other industries were so great that army officer* predicted that men ot class two will be called to the colors In September unless ages are raised by congress. Following conferences among army chiefs, it was disclosed that President Wilton and Secretary Baker nave approved a bill .soon to be placed before congress calling for the advance of draft ages. The new limits will be from 10 years to at least 46 years. If the draft is to be used to bolster up die labor supply of munitions plants, the Increase will be to 40. June and Jaly have *e*n 800,000 men taken from the 1,000,000 who wore) U in Class one Jane 1. Orders have BOOB sent to draft Washington.—Complete governmen. tal supervision and control of the oil Industry from the well to the con. sumer Is fore-shadowed by Mark L. Requa, head of the oil division of the Fuel administration in a statement issued July 28. American production is estimated by C. W. Robinson, head of the conservation division, at 325,000,000 barrels of crude oil. The Allies' requirements are between 05,000,000 and 70,000,000 barrels of gasoline, but increasing each day with increased shipments to , the front of battle planes, scout boats and motor trucks, whose motive power is gasoline, and launching of additional war and carrier ships burning heavy crude oil. The great Mexican output, 42,000,- 000 barrels a year, is now not avail* able as a dependable supply, and Russian fields are in the possession of the Central powers. The Allies look to America for | their oil and gas. There is plenty of gas now, but the increased demand is so great that any day may see the surplus reduced to a deficit.

Jesus Christ Growing (Lake 2:42- 62), While Christ was indeed divine, bis deity did not interfere with bis development as a human being. The processes of bis physical, mental, and spiritual growth were the same as those of any human being;. L Jesus tarrying behind at Jerusalem (w. 42, 43). At the age of twelve a Jewish child took his place as a worshipper in the temple. He was considered a "child of the law." Being conscious of bis mission, when Joseph and his mother were returning from attendance at the Passover, he tarried behind to en* ter the temple and inquired into the meaning of the ordinances of God's House. He had an alert, eager mind, which inquired after the truth, especially the truth concerning his Father's House. His heart yearned after his Father. 2. Jesus found in the temple (w. 44-50). When Joseph and Jesus'mother had gone some distance on their return journey they perceived that Jesus was missing, and sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. Not finding him there, they turned back to Jerusalem where they found him in the temple. (1) He was "sitting" (v. 46) show* Ing that he was no passing visitor or Sightseer. He was perfectly at home in his Father's House. (2) He was "hearing" the teachers of God's Word (v. 46}. This shows he was eager to learn God's will. (8) He asked questions (v. 46). The growing mind is inquisitive. It more than receives that which is taught; it inquires after. (4) He answered questions (v. 42). His answers showed great wisdom, It was not an exhibition of his divine wisdom, but an expression of the workings of a perfect human mind suffused by the Holy Spirit. 3. Mary's complaint (vv. 48-50). She remonstrates with him for his behavior. He made no apology, show* ing that he was more than the son of Mary; God was bis Father. 4. Jesus obedient (v. 61). Though he was conscious of his divine being and mission, he lived a Ufa of filial obedience. 5. Jesus' development (v. 52). It was (1) Mental—"Increased in wisdom." (2) Physical—"Stature.** (8) Spiritual—"Favor with God and man. n IT. Growth In Grace (II Peter 1:8- 11). This is not growth into grace, but growth in i t We get into grace by the new birth. This new nature which has its source in God must be developed in order that our lives be fruitful for God (v. 8), that they bear testimony to the cleansing.power of Christ's blood (v. 9), and that we may -have assurance of salvation (v. 10). The following are lines of growth: 1. "Virtue** (v. 5). Virtue here means energy or courage. This is not "added** as in Qie Authorised Version, but as in the Revised Version which reads: "In your faith supply virtue.** It means increase by growth, not by external junction.

CHAPTER XX111—Continued. —19— A gas helmet is made of cloth, treated with chemicals. There are two windows, or glass eyes, in it, through which you can see. Inside there is a rubberdry, and a heavy pressure on the lungs warned me that my helmet was leaking. Turning by gun over to No. 2, I changed helmets. The trench started to wind like a snake, and sandbags appeared to be covered tube, which goes In the mouth, floating in the air. The noise was hor- You breath© through your nose; the :gas, passing through the cloth helmet, Is neutralized by the action of the chemicals. The foul air is exhaled through the tube In the mouth, this tube being so constructed that It prevents the inhaling of the outside air or gas. One helmet Is good for five hours of the strongest gas. Each Tommy carries two of them slung around his shoulder in a waterproof canvas bag. Be must wear this bag at all times, «ven while sleeping. To change a defective helmet/you take out the new one, hold your breath, pull the old one off, placing the new one over your toead, tucking In the loose ends under the collar of your tunic. For a minute, pandemonium reigned tn our trench—Tommies adjusting their helmets, bombers running here and there, and men turning out of the •dugouts with fixed bayonets, to man the fire step. Re-enforceraents were pouring out of the communication trenches. Our gun's crew were busy mounting the machine gun on the parapet and bringlug up extra ammunition from the dugout. German gas is heavier than air and soon tills the trenches and dugouts, where It has been known to lurk for two or three days, until the air is purlfled by means of large chemical sprayers. We had to work quickly, as Fritz generally follows the gas with an Infantry attack. A company man on our right wasi too slow in getting on his helmet; he sank to the ground, clutching at his •throat, and after a few spasmodic twiatings went West (died). It was horrible to see blm die, but we were .powerless to help htm. In the corner <Jf a traverse, a little, muddy cur dog, one of the company's pets, was lying dead, with his paws over his nose. It's the animals that suffer the most —the horses, mules, cattle, dogs, cats and rats—they having no helmets to «ave them. Tommy does not sympathize with rats in a gas attack. At times gas has been known to travel, with dire results, fifteen miles behind the lines. A gas, or smoke helmet, as It Is called, at the best i s a vile-smelling thing, and it is not long before one gets a violent headache from wearing i t Our eighteen-poundere were bursting in No Man's Land, in an effort, by the artillery, to disperse the gas clouds. The fire step was lined with crouching men, bayonets fixed, and bombs near at hand to repel the expected attack. Our artillery had put a barrage of curtain fire on the German lines, to try •and break up their attack and keep back re-enforcements, I trained my machine gun on their trench and its bullets were raking the parapet Then over they came, bayonets glistening. In their respirators, which have a large snout In front, they looked like some horrible nightmare. All along our trench, rifles and machine guns spoke, our shrapnel was bunting over their heads. They went down in heaps, but new ones took the places of the fallen. Nothing could atop that mad rush. The Qeroan* seeched our barbed wire, which had previously been demolished by their rible; I sank onto the fire step, needles seemed to be pricking my flesh, then blackness. I was awakened by one of my mates removing my smoke helmet. How delicious that cool, fresh air felt in my lungs. A strong wind had arisen and dispersed the gas. They told me that I had been "out" for three hours; fhey thought I was dead. The attack had been repulsed after a hard fight. Twice the Germans had gained a foothold In our trench, but had been driven out by counter-attacks. The trench was filled with their dead and ours. Through a periscope I counted eighteen dead Germans in our wire; they were a ghastly eight in their horrible-looking respirators. I examined my first smoke helmet A bullet had gone through it on the left side, Just grazing my ear. The gas had penetrated through the hole made in the cloth. Out of our crew of six we lost two killed and two wounded. That night we buried all of the dead, excepting those in No Man's Land. In death there is not much distinction; friend and foe are treated alike. After the wind had dispersed the gas the R. A. M. C. got busy with their chemical sprayers, spraying out the aa4 tha aavil foe alL fludttfti'y ttijs A Gas Helmet. dugouts and low parts of the trenches to dissipate any fumes of the German gas which may have been lurking in same. Two days after the gas attack I was sent to division headquarters, in answer to an order requesting that captains of units should detail a man whom, they thought capable of passing an examination for the divisional intelligence department Before, leaving for this assignment I went along the front-line trench saying good-by to my mates andTlordlng It over them, telling them that I had clicked a cushy job behind the lines, and -how sorry I felt that they had to stay in the front line and argue out the war with Frits. They were envious hut still good-natured, antfus I left the trench to go to the rear they shouted, after me: "Good luck, Tana, old DOT; doflt forget to send up a few fags to your old mates."

Two of the men were sent to large towns in the rear of the lines with an easy Job. When it came our turn the officer told us we were good men and had passed a very creditable examination. My tin hat began to get too small for me, and I noted that the other man, Atwell by name, was sticking his chest out more than usual. The officer continued: "I think I can use you two men to great advantage in the front line. Here are your orders and instructions, also the pass which gives you full authority as special M. P. detailed on intelligence work. Report at the front line according to your instructions. It Is risky work and I wish you both the best of luck." My heart dropped to zero and Atwejl's face was a study. We saluted and left. That wishing us the "best of luck* sounded very ominous In our ears; if he had said ifl wish you both a swift and painless death" it would have been more to the point. When we had read our instructions we knew we were in for it good and plenty. What Atwell said is not fit for publication, but I strongly seconded his opinion of the war, army and divisional headquarters in general. After a bit our spirits rose. We were full-fledged spy-catchers, because our Instructions and orders, said so. We immediately reported- to the nearest French estaminet and had several glasses of muddy water, which they called beer. After drinking our beer we left the estaminet and hailed an empty ambulance. After showing the driver our passes we got 1¾ The driver was going to the part of the line where we had to report. How the wounded ever survived a ride in that ambulance was inexplicable to me. It was worse than riding on a gun carriage over a rock road. The driver of the ambulance was a corporal of the R. A. M. C, and he had the "wind up," that is, he had an aversion to being under fire. I was riding on the seat with him while Atwell was sitting tn the ambulance, with his legs hanging out of they back. As we passed through a shell-destroyed village a mounted military policeman stopped us and informed the driver to be very careful when we got out on the open road, as it was very dangerous, because the Germans lately had acquired the habit of shelling it. The corporal asked the trooper if there was any other way around, and was informed that there was not. Upon this he got very nervous and wanted to turn back, but we Insisted that he pro- DESTINED TO BECOME DESERT Great French Colonial Territory In North Africa 8eems to Hold Out . Little Promise. Wadal was the last point of colonial expansion of the French before the European struggle drew their energies and attention homeward. The great African territory was added to the French Kongo only a short time before the war broke out Very few white people have actually visited Wadai, but tales of the region are numerous both In upper Egypt and In Tripoli. Occasionally some of the inhabitants of the little-known region can be seen in the bazaars of Khartum or Algiers, Wadal lies at the head of caravan routes that cross the desert both from the Mediterranean and the Nile. It bears a bad reputation, even for North Africa. It Is known as one of the last strongholds and sources of supply of the slave trade. Its people are divided into conquerors end conquered—the former belonging to a powerful native tribe that holds the Mohammedan faith and the latter Including all manner of very primitive savages. Up ceed and explained to htm that he would get into serloua trouble with his commanding officer if he returned without orders; we wanted to ride, not walk. From his convention we ieurned that he had recently come from England with a draft and had never been under fire, hence hla nervousness. We convinced him that there was not much danger, and he appeared greatly relieved. When we at last turned into the open road we were not so confident. On each side there had been a line of trees, but now, all that was left of them were torn and battered stumps. The fields on each side of the road were dotted with recent shell holes, and we passed several in the road itself. We had gone about half a mile when a shell came whistling through the air and burst in a field about three hundred yards to our right. Another soon followed this one and burst on the edge of the road about four hundred yards in front of us. I told the driver to throw In his speed clutch, as we must be in sight of the Germans. I knew the signs; that battery was ranging for, us, and the quicker we got out of its zone of fire the better. The driver was trembling like a leaf, and every minute I expected him to pile us up in the ditch. I preferred the German fire. In the back Atwell was holding onto the straps for dear life, and was singing at the top of his voice: We beat you at the Marne, We beat you at the Alane, We gave you hell at Neuve Chapelle, And here we are again. Just then we hit a small shell hole and nearly capsized. Cpot a loud yell from the rear I looked behind, and there was Atwell sitting In the middle of the road, shaking his fist at us. His equipment, which he had taken oft upon getting Into the ambulance, was strung out on the ground, and his rifle was tn the ditch. Empey 1« called duty as a member squad.

Years ago, during a winter's visit In London, I used to watch the persons who regularly fed the birds In Hylle park. I noticed that most of them were people of apparently humble circumstances, a few pretty close to underfeeding themselves. It was delightful to see how much pleasure they all took in keeping these birds from hunger. Two that I saw each day for a week or .so, evidently husband and wife, I ventured to speak to. Eagerly they talked about the birds as they might have talked about children, noting and relishing individual characteristics. "We have become so fond of them," said the wife. "They recognize us now, many of them, and a few come to us quite fearlessly. We should feel quite uncomfortable if we should miss a day. They are like members of the family that have to be cared for."—Exchange, stream.

A fine, firm, fertile early prepared seedbed insures the largest crop of best quality wheat. When wheat follows oats, barley or other early harvested crop, plow the land from 4 to 6 inches deep as soon as the preceding crop is removed and work down each half day's plowing before leaving the field. Harrow or disk the field after every rain or as often as crust forms, until seeding time to kill weeds and to retain the soil moisture. Ideal seedbed preparation consists in disking, plowing, again disking and harrowing. -Up-to-date farmers are following -this system especially when there is considerable organic matter to he plowed under. Always cut up coarse material before turning it In the furrow, otherwise it interrupts the movement of moisture upward, making an air space which allows drying out. By plowing early and maintaining a soil mulch, moisture U retained which favors quick germination. From one to several weeks will be gained in the sprouting and growth by a thorough soil preparation.

Fertilizer was used one of those "enn't-be-doncs" with apparent caso.^Probably the fellow didn't know It "couldn't be done," so he went nhead and did it. One of the latest of the pet theories to go by the board is the one that the use of nny form of commercial fertilizer ultimately runs down the soil and causes it to become very unproductive. Why this theory ever existed is hard to tell. Perhaps someone misused fertilizer and killed the crop. Such n thing is possible. Perhaps too little or too much was used, or perhaps it was simply becnuse the wish was fa* ther to the thought. Anyhow It did In but small amounts, an average of slightly over 300 pounds per acre per year. The fourth year of the test a wheat crop averaging 34 bushels per acre was taken from the land—this, by the way, on a soil that had received no barnyard manure for many years. A few years ftgo the neighbors of the man who used fertilizer would shake their heads wisely and s a y : "Oh, yes, h e gpts big yields now, but in a few years his soil will he so poor he won't got anything."

Dear Mother, Father and All: - Just another letter to let you know I am still on God's Great Ejarth and " n o t so worse" for #11 my experiences. You see by my letter I am now stationed at Paris. I was assigned to the post office at this place rnayht; I can tell you more later at* the censor is getting real good to us they let us aay quite a bit. What has happene(Mo all of the folks back there? Do you know 1 haven't received a letter since I left Camp Custer, Easter Sunday morning; not] only from you but iroln anyone in America. So you can imagine iiow 1 am wondering how everybody is back there. These past few months seem like years, altho I am not so lonesome. One thing, there is always something new to see and you dont have much time to think until you get in bed at night, then you are dreaming and thinking of those at home. This is a wonderful city. I am seeing things 1 used to read about. I've been all over France since 1 came here. As far as. scenery is concerned it ?s beautiful. (Of course I've seen some scenes that were not so beautiful, too.) I like my work and am quite cont?nte l now. The postoffiee is in the lower part of one of ths finest Paris hotels. We live in the upper part and enjoy about all the conveniences of civil life, hot and cold water, bath rooms, etc. We take our meals at another hotel nearby. Really, this does not seem like army life at al! to me. 1 am working fro n H:'.M) A. M. to r>:30 P. M. and any time not on duty can go and come as I wish. The boys here are all a tine bunch of fellows. You see we are quite a way back of the firing line but have plenty of excitement. '< You can never tell what minute at night you may hear the sirens blow and you don't want to be too slow getting below for Fritz has come to visit the town with his air llect and deadly bombs. VVe need no alarm as the big guns wake you up in the morning by- the I bursting of their shells. These great stone buildings fall down as if they were i paper. r I may have a new job the next time I write. The major s*ent to the office f,ur a 1 chauffeur today. I told him 1 could I drive a Ford or an'Overland. He said I"he had a new Briscoe and 1 told him j I could soon learn. 1 don't know if I will get the job or not. There is another guy after it It would be fine and , r^o I am crazy to get it. 1 would be out- j /$. side most of the time seeing the sights The major is to have charge of lifteen postoffices at the British front. We make the rounds most of the time. As I sit by my window writing I can see the Bastile, the Eifel Eifel lower and the original Ferris* Wheel. The people here are ail good to us. They worship the Americans. Many of them are leaving town daily. As I will get my own mail now and won't have to depend on anyone else because I don't think they've been very good to me. I want you to tell all those I know to write. Give them all my address and maybe I will get at least one letter. How are all the good neighbors? Tell them they may hear from me any time now. You'll say I'm not improving in my writing and I guess I'm not. 1 am saving space and writing in the moonlight. The city is kept quite dark. Maybe I will be home to help you fork be an 8, father, as life in the army is very uncertain. Tell me all about the Pincknev boys and everything else back home. I feel a bit nervous tonight so I guess I will close and take a good walk. • With love to all the dear ones home, I _ Your loving son, J. Bernard McCluskey American E. F. U . S . A.'P. O. M. P.

STATEMENTS OF CREW VARY Force So Great That West-bound Freight Plowed Three-fourths of Its War Through Car. Jackson, Mich.—"Well, we were both satisfied that everything was clear and that the second section had passed." « Motorman Charles A. Fisk, of the westbound freight car, which telescoped the Detroit Limited. D. U. R. ear a mile west of Chelsea killing 12 and injuring 47 persons Saturday night, thus explained the collision to Coroner Leo, Kennedy, of Washtenaw county, Sunday night. "Was it not your duty to see that both sections had gone by," he was asked. "Yes, I guess it was our duty," he answered. On order of Major General Chase K. Kennedy, commandant at Camp Custer, Captain Alyaro B. McCutcheon arrived in Chelsea Sunday afteraoon to co-operate with Sheriff H. J. Lindenschmitt, and Coroner Kennedy to fix responsibility for the disaster which included among its victims six soldiers trom Camp Custer. The Following Were Killed. Flynn, Harold J., private 160th Depot Brigade, 209 Atkinson avenue. Decker, Oscar, private, 160th Depot Brigade, £14 Cass avenue. Adair, Barney, 33rd company, Ninth Battalion, 160th Depot Brigade.

VaBllos, J. Nick, Albion, Mich. Unidentified civilian who raid in ante mortem statement that he was from Cadillac, Mich. Statements At Variance. Fisk's statement indicated that he and Conductor Buck were loading their car at the Chelsea switch when the first section of the eastbound passenger went by. It signaled that a second section followed and the freight answered the signal, the men resuming their work. Later he declared they called np Chelsea to ascertain whether the orders they had been given at Ann Arbor still stood. Satisfied that the second section of the passenger had passed the switch, although he admitted they had not beard It. Fisk told the coroner that Conductor Buck gave verbal orders for the freight to proceed. They went about a mile west of Chelsea, when the approach of the limited was noted. Motorman Fisk estimates his one car was going 25 miles an hour, while the Limited, he says, was going close to a mile a minute. Chelsea, a village of 2,200, was laboring Sunday under great stress. On every corner were gathered groups of sorrowf-il citizens discussing the catastrophe. Bruises and Cuts Prove Fstalitles. Practically none of the bodies were mangledj bruises and cuts, particularly about the head and chest having been responsible for the fatalities* The force of the impact is indicated by the fact that the west bound freight car plowed its way through the passenger, three-fourths of its length, the front part of the passeng- Br car having been reduced almost to kindling wood. The freight, however, having been loaded down with Hour and grain, kept the track and fared better in the crash. While damaged, it was not by any means to the same extent as the parsenger.

Astfcnr Ovy EMPEY AND HIS COMRADES MAKE THEIR MACHINE GUNS PERFORM SOME MARVELOUS TRICKS. 8ynopa4»>—Fired by the sinking of the Lusltanuvwitb the loss of American Uvea, Arthur Guy Empey, an American llvtng In Jersey City, goes to England and enlists as a private in the British army. After a short experience as a recruiting officer in London, he is sent to training quarters in France, where he first hears the sound of big guns and makes the acquaintance of "cooties." After a brief period of training Empey's company is sent into the front-line trenches, where he take* his first turn on the fire step while the bullets whiz overhead. Empey learns, as comrade falls, that death lurks always in the trenches. Chaplain distinguishes himself by rescuing wounded men under hot fire. With pick and shovel Empey has experience as a trench digger in No Man's Land. Exciting experience on listening post detail. Exciting work on observation post duty. Back in rest billets Empey writes and stages a successful play. Once more In the front trenches, Empey goes "over the top" in a successful but costly attack on the German lines. CHAPTER XXII—Continued. —1fl— This punishment is awarded where there is a doubt as to the willful guilt of a man who haa committed an offence punishable by death. Then comes the famous field pun* Ishment No, 1. Tommy has nicknamed It "crucifixion.'' It means that a man is spread-eagled on a limber wheel, two hours a day for twenty-one days, During this time he only gets water, bully beef and biscuits for his chow. You get "crucified" for repeated minor offenses. Next in order is field punishment No. 2. This is confinement in the "clink," without blankets, getting water, bully beef and biscuits for rations and doing all the dirty work that can be found. This may be for twenty-four hours or twenty days, according to the gravity of the offense. Then comes "pack drill" or defaulters' parade. This consists of drilling, mostly at the double, for two hours with full equipment. Tommy hates this, because it is hard work. Sometimes he fills his pack with straw to lighten it, and sometimes he gets caught If he gets caught, he grouses .at everything in general for twentyone days, from the vantage point of a limber wheel. Next comes "C. B." meaning "confined to barracks." This consists of staying in billets or barracks for twenty- four hours to seven days. You also get -an occasional defaulters' parade and dirty Jobs around the quarter*. The sergeant major keeps what is known as the crime sheet. When a man commits an offense, he is "crimed," that is, his name, number and offense is entered on the crime sheet Next day at 9 a. m. he goes to the "orderly room" before the captain, who either punishes him with "C, B." or sends him before the O. C. (officer commanding battalion). The captain of the company can only award "C. B." Tommy many a time has thanked the king for making that provision In hit regulations. which used to get our goats, it had the exact range of our "elephant" dugout entrance, and every morning, about the time rations were being brought up, its bullets would knock up the dust on the road; more than one Tommy went West or to Blighty by running into them. This gun got our nerves on edge, and Fritz seemed to know it, because he never gave us an hour's rest. Our reputation as machine gunners was at stake; we tried various ruses to locate and put this gun out of action, but each one proved to be a failure, and Fritz became a worse nuisance than ever. He was getting fresher and more careless every day, took all kinds of liberties with us—thought he was invluclble. Then one of our crew got a brilliant idea and we were all enthusiastic to put it to the test. Here was his scheme: When firing my gun, I was to play my tune, and Fritz, no doubt, would fall for it, try to imitate me as an added Insult. This gunner and two others would try, by the sound, to locate Fritz and his gun. After having got the location, they would mount two machine guns in trees, in a little Tommy sheet, and yon have to be darned smart to do It I have been on it a few times, mostly for "Yankee impudence " During our stay of two weeks in rest billets our captain put us through a course of machine-gun drills, trying out new stunts and theories. After parades were over, our guns* crews got together and also tried out some theories of their own in reference to handling guns. - These courses had nothing to do with the advancement of tbe war, consisted mostly of causing tricky jams in the gun, and then the rest of the crew would endeavor to locate as quickly as possible the cause of the stoppage. This amused them for a few days and than things came to a standstill. One of the boys on my gun claimed that he could ploy a tune while tbe gun was actually firing, and. demonstrated this fact one day on the target range. We were very enthusiastic and decided to become musicians. After constant practice I became quite expert In the tune entitled "All Conductors Have Big Feet" When I had mastered this rune, our two weeks' rest came to an end, and once again we went op the Hue aad took over the sector to front of 0 — wood. At this point the German trenches ran around the base of a hill, on the top of whidt was t t e n t w o t i Thes weed) was Infested with machine fun* wtae* used to traverse o«r lines at wlli, tad sweep tbe street! ef a tittle m i j e wfc i wasps • we* ewe gssn n V arret* JOO res •J00VD5 MtMTCUl Showing How Fritz Is Fooled. clump of woods to the left of our cemetery, and while Fritz was In the middle of his lesson, would open up and trust to luck. By our calculations, It would take at least a week to pull off the stunt. If Fritz refused to swallow our bait T* ^»« HI* mi* of a "smart soldier" {t w o u M ** ^possible to locate his after, because they all sound alike, a slow pup-pup-pup. Our prestige was hanging by a thread. In the battalion we had to endure all kinds of insults and fresh remarks as to our ability In silencing Fritz. Even to the battalion that German gun was a sore spot Next day, Fritz opened up as usual. I let him fire away for a while and then butted in with my "pup-pup-puppup- pup-pup." I kept this up quite a while, used two belts of ammunition. Fritz had stopped firing to listen. Then he started in; sure enough, he had fallen for our game, his gun was trying to imitate mine, but at first he made a horrible mess of that tune. Again I butted in with a few ban and stopped. Then he tried to copy what I had played. He was a good sport all right because his bullets were going away over our heads, must have been firing Into the air. I commenced to feel friendly toward him. This duet went on tor fire days. Frits was a good pupil and learned rapidly, in fact got better than his teacher. I commenced to feel Jealous. When he had completely mastered the tune, be started sweeping the road again and we clicked it worse than ever. Bat he signed his death warrant by doing so, because my friendship turned to hate. Every time he fired be played that tune and we danced. The beys la the bettsttoo gave as the "Hat HaT They weren't in on Httle fraaseap. ef the rase aad the eMMta'f lecatloa to foe jalaate; they thetrtwe range. The next afternoon was set for the grand finale. Our three guns, with different elevations, had their fire so arranged, that, opening up together, their bullets would suddenly drop on Fritz like a hailstorm. About three the next day, Fritz started "pup-pupping" that tune. I blew a sharp Wast on a whistle, it was the signal agreed upon; we turned loose and Fritz's gun suddenly stopped in the middle of a bar. We had cooked his goose, and our ruse had worked. After firing two belts each, to make sure of our Job, we hurriedly dismounted our guns and took cover In the dugout. We knew what to expect soon. We didn't have to wait long, three salvos of "whizz-bangs" came over from Fritz's artillery, a further confirmation that we had sent that musical machine-gunner on his Westward-bound Journey. Tnat gun never bothered us again. We were the heroes of tlfe battalion, our captain congratulated us, said it was a neat piece of work, and, consequently, we were all puffed up over the stunt. There are several ways Tommy uses to disguise the location of his machine gun and get his range. Some of the most commonly used stunts are as follows: At night, when he mounts his gun over the top of his trench and wants to get the range of Fritz's trench he adopts the method of what he terras "getting the sparks." This consists of firing bursts from his gun until the bullets hit the German barbed wire. He can tell when they are cutting the wire, because a bullet when it hits a wire throws out a blue electric spark. Machine-gun fire Is very damaging to wire and causes many a wiring party to go out at night when it is quiet to repair the damage. To disguise the flare of his gun at night when firing, Tommy uses what is called a flare protector. This is a stovepipe arrangement which fits over the barrel casing of the gun and screens th i sparks from the right and left, but not from the front. So Tommy, always resourceful, adopts this scheme: About three feet or less in front of the gun he drives two stakes into the ground, abou1 five feet apart. Across these stakes he stretches a curtain made out of empty sandbags ripped open. He sonks this curtain in water and fires through It. The water prevents it catching fire and effectively screens the flare of the firing gun from the enemy. Sound is a valuable asset in locating a machine gun, but Tommy surmounts this obstacle by placing two machine guns about one hundred to one hundred and fifty yards apart. The gun on the right to cover with Its fire the sector of the left gun and the gun on the left to cover that of the right gun. This makes their fire cross; they are fired simultaneously. By this method It sounds like one gun firing and gives the Germans the impression that the gun is firing from a point midway between the guns which are actually firing, and they accordingly shell that particular spot The machine gunrers chuckle and say, "Fritz is u bruiay boy, not 'alf he ain't." But the men In our lines at the spot being shelled curse Fritz for his ignorance and pusa n few pert remarks down the line in reference to the machine gunners being "windy" and afraid to take their medicine. CHAPTER X X I I I . Gas Attacks and Spies. Three days after we had silenced Frits, the Germans sent over gas. It did not catch us unawares, because the wind had been made to order, that is, it was blowing from the German trenches toward ours at the rate of about five miles per hour. Warnings had been passed down the trench to keep a sharp lookout for gas. We had a new man at the periscope, on this afternoon in question; I was sitting ou the fire step, cleaning my rifle, when be called out to me: "There's a sort of greenish, yellow cloud rolling along the ground out In front It's coming—" But I waited for no more, grabbing my bayonet, which was detached from the rifle, I gave the alarm by banging an empty shell case, which was hanging near the periscope. At the same Instant, gongs started ringing down the trench, the signal for Tommy to don his respirator, or smoke helmet, as we call it. Gas travels quickly, so you must not lose any time; you generally have about eighteen or twenty seconds in which to adjust your gas helmet. Empey is assigned to the intelligence department, but finds It la not the "soft" snap that he anticipated. The next installment tells of some of his experiences In his new Job as a spy-catcher.

SWANS FLY FAST AND FAR Their Endurance and Speed a Matter of Marvel to Scientists Who Have Made Matter a Study. Acts of Heroism Recognized. Twenty-four acts of heroism were recognized by the Carnegie hero fi'nd commission in Its fourteenth annual meeting. In seven cases silver medals were awarded, in 17 cases, bro-ize medals. Ten of the heroes lost their lives, and to the dependents of n<ne of these pensions aggregating $4,660 a year were granted. In addition to these money grants, in two cases. $2,- 100 was appropriated for educational purposes, payments to be made as needed and approved, and in 11 ca*ea awards aggregating $8,000 were made for other worthy purposes. Pay* ments in these cases will not be mads until the awards have been approved by the commission. It Is said to be impossible for anyone who has seen only the common mute swans floating about In the artificial lakes of city parks to imagine the grandeur of a flock of the great whistlers in their wild state. One government scientist, attached to a burean In Washington, says that the sight '• one of the most impressive In nature* As the great birds rise into the air it seems as if an aerial regatta were being sailed overhead, the swans, each with a wing spread of six or seven feet, moving like yachts under full sail. Once the swana are under way. their speed Is amazing, nearly 100 miles an hour, and thnt, too. with ne apparent effort, for the slow wing motion Is very deceiving. Their endurance is as surprising as their speed, for they are said to travel 1,000 miles without alighting. That Second Thought.

Attempted Burglary At South Lyon Peeved, 'and disappointed because she could not enjoy the notoriety of an imaginary visit to her vicinity by Harry Bushnell, the escaped convict, thereby missing t h e advertising t h a t a manhunt by t h e S t a t s Prison authorities brings, South Lyons has pulled off a genuine sensation by having real, live robbers visit the bank. There is first class material for a reel drama in the story—midnight attack, hero and heroine to t h e rescue, exciting chase in automobiles, fearless and efficient officers,—but why continue? The results of t h e nights excitement are: one live burglar safely behind t h e bars, fuses, burglar tools and an auto, captured and now on exhibition at South Lyon, Oakland County, Mich. is solid and definite substance compare'': with t h e attenuated stuff which nature gave t h e hen in lieu of a brain. A hen on a country road is a com- I pendium of all tt.e idiocies e x t a n t . She ' is madness it:-;elf with i;o m e t h o i in her j madness, either. She "razes quietly I by the hedge in front of her estate unj ti! :ihe observes the cloud of duet which ! presages the coming' car. A t once she becomes a different being. She stops I eating, ruffles up her feathers, glares j wildly at the invader, and zigzags down I toward the road, prepared for instant flight. As the machine approaches, i her agitation increases. Presently Jshe ! begins to run, squalking dismally, In- | variably she runs in a diagonal direction | toward the road. Presently she reali- ! zes \.hat t h e automibile is going'faster j than she is. Does she turn away frcm the road? Never. She fixes her large I round eye on the other side of the road and makes a mad dive in front of t h e machine. There is a bump, a cloud of feathers, and another hen has cheated ] the stewpan. If the automobilist un- | derstood the hen he wouM stop his car while she was yet far ahea 1 of him. Then drawing a net from his tool box he would approach the agitated fowl stealthily, entangle her in t h e net, tie her by t h e leg to a stout stake and drive the stake into the ground t e n feet from the road. >But the automobilist does not understand the hen, and we fear they would not go to all t h a t trouble if they did.—Chelsea Tribune.

The pest is known as t h e w h e a t joint worm (Isosoma Tririci). T h e p e s t works j u s t above the nodes or joints and the injury from its a t t a c k s results in the interfering with the flow of sap and the filling in of the head. The p a r t of t h e straw appears twisted or swollen sometimes with a wavy grain. At first the affected p a r t is soft and thickened but later becomes woody and brittle. Upon examination the cavities insidecontain a little grub, sometimes a dozen close together.v Winter is passed for the most p a s t j n the stubble, although a very few may survive- in t h e s t r a w . The shock of the separator seems to kill the majority in the straw. A survey of the county has befm made by the county and an expert from M. A. C. I t is estimated that t h e wheat ^fields in this county are affected with this parasite to an extent of 20 per cent The Dept. of Entomology will latersugge^ t advice as t o the best method of control of this pest.

For the designs on the main portior of the column vegetables and flowers will be utilized while the filling will b e ' composed of grain, apples, pears and green and red peppers.

NEW U W S ARE NEEDED Present Method of Collecting Drain Tax Is Too Burdensome, According to O. E. Robey. By O. E. ROBEY, Specialist in Drainage Michigan Agricultural College. "Bast Lansfng, Mich.—In these days Is which we are taking all conceivable steps to protect our crops against all possible enemies and the world from famine we should not lose sight of the immense crop producing value of proper drainage. Whenever we see an area under water which would become very good farm land if properly drained, but which la not bearing an edible blade of grass, we wonder why we are not making better use of It. Excess water of another sort, however, is probably curtailing our agricultural effort more than are these vast tracts of unreclaimed land in Michigan. I refer to the thousands of fields plowed and planted each year with the anticipation of a favorable season but which yield only disappointment at harvest time because of too much moisture in the subsoil. .In the case of the undeveloped land We do not expect a crop. We do not apend our high-priced labor attempting to cultivate It nor do we waste our high-priced seeds. Our direct loss here I9. not great. In the other Instance, where the wetness Is not so evident. we squander both time and seed and the-Joss. is sometimes ruinous. This latter type of land, the kind that looks dry but actually Is wetter than Wisconsin is losing more for the Michigan farmer today than are the unreclaimed tracts. Usually these lands are marked by a heavy clay soil which is very retentive of moisture. A continued wet spell so saturates them that they remain full of water for a long time. This prevents the soil from properly warming up in the spring, or at any other period of the growing season, because the water as well as the soil must be heated. The moisture also prevents the proper circulation of the air which Is so necessary for the growth of the plant and for the breaking down of plantfood. Warmth, food and air are all of them very vital elements in the development of a plant. One of the most effective ways of insuring a crop upon this type of land is to systematically underdrain It. Underdrainage, where It is needed, Is one of the most fundamental requirements of profitable agriculture. Yet how often is this fact lost sight of. If underdralnage is necessary, and it is necessary If a crop Is partially or completely lost in an unfavorable season, It Is one of the first Improvements which should be made. Whenever drainage Is spoken of In a community where it has not "been tried out to any great extent the expense is first thought of. It does seem expensive to invest from $20 to $40 an acre in land that may be already high in price, but it should be remembered that the benefit from this expenditure is not for one year alone, but should reasonably extend over a life-time. If we consider the problem on this basis, It amounts to a much smaller expense per year than many of the other investments which we are making to increase production, such as application of fertilizers, use of high-producing seeds, -a.nd so on. f In visiting various sections of the state where underdralnage has been practiced for some time one cannot but be impressed by the uniform opinion of those who have tried It that It ia one of the most paying Investments they have ever made. Many a farmer who is accumulating money to buy an additional farm might far better Invest his money in systematically uoderrtralnlng his present property. Mat? instances have come to my attecftton of farmers, who lacking money, have borrowed it and drained to their financial betterment. •jo Illustrate what tile drainage will do ~to Increase food production, it is obty ooceosary to remember the nirm- Xm e f tile laid in Michigan last year. %e>bttoevB that the 25.000,000 tile put 'MpUt year will increase crop produc- **& one-third on the toad drained wfati taken oirer a aeries of years, thousand acres of land were ted 1« MMdgan last year. The la> titbit land doe to better ^jmmtr «ortda»t wheat, <• feed a dty of 50,- !*:«tf der present conditions, it will he seen, would be to Increase the amount of tile drainage in Michigan. This would not only produce food now, when it is most needed, but it would go on producing food for years and years to come. During the last year the farmers of the state of Michigan paid over three million dollars In drain taxes to secure suitable outlets for drainage to their land and undoubtedly this was money well spent. It will bring a great deal more than this amount in returns, but It is one of the most lamentable facts in our drainage situation that many farmers adjacent to these drains do not realize as much as they might from this tax investmeut. If proper systems of underdralnage could be immediately Installed the land could be made to very quickly pay for this outlay. In the majority of cases, however, the high drain tax exhausts the supply of money with which the farmer might carry on this after-deveiopinent. By the time the farmer gets squared away the ditch is often so filled up with rubbish that its value as an outlet is materially reduced, if not entirely destroyed. We need legislative remedies for this, something that will encourage Immediate development of the adjacent property and provide for malntenace of county drains after they are completed, The formation of drainage districts with the power to bond is one way of meeting the first trouble, and no doubt a suitable scheme can be worked out to correct the latter. Organization of districts along natural lines, instead of along the present arbitrary boundaries, would be helpful. CROP OF FORESTERS FAILS Number of Trained Woodsmen Inade. quate for Supplying of Current Demands. East Lansing, Mich.—For the man who is lured by the breath of the pine woods, and for all those who love the great out-of-doors, the present is a season of opportunity, declares Prof. A. K. Chittenden, head of the department of forestry at M. A. C. Owners of country estates, cities in quest of tree surgeons, and federal and state governments are all of them in the market for men trained In forestry, but in the opinion of the professor they are destined to remain empty handed unless young America comes to the rescue. "Even before the war came upon us," says Professor Chittenden, "the calls for foresters with college training much outnumbered the men qualified to fill the positions offered. This state of affairs has come about as the result of the Increasing employment of foresters by cities throughout the country, and to the use of them in large numbers in other capacities. "Unless more boys enroll In the colleges for training as foresters, this dearth of able men Is likely to become chronic. The boy who doesn't know what to do with himself ought to Investigate this profession." BIG CROP PEDIGREED GRAIN Large Acreages of Red Rock Wheat and Rosen Rye Are Harvested. East Lansing, Mich.—Reports filed with the Michigan agricultural college by growers in various parts of Michigan indicate that enough pedigreed wheat and rye was harvested within the state this season to sow at least half of Michigan's wheat and rye acreages, to these Improved crops next fall. Enough inspected and certified Red Rock wheat was harvested, according to the statement of secretary of the Michigan Crop Improvement association, to sow 90,000 acres this coming fall to this superior grain, and enough of Red Rock wheat of all grades to sow 360,000 acres. Of Rosen rye a sufficient quantity of the Inspected and certified grain has been harvested to sow 70,000 acres. Both Red Rock wheat and Rosen rye, which are special strains of high yielding grains produced originally by the experiment station of the college, have won such a reputation for themselves that Michigan growers were called upon last season to supply seed to farm* era in 20 other states. "Stripe" Hits Barley. A disease known as the barley "leaf stripe" is reported by the department of plant pathology of M. A. C. to have been the cause of appreciable loss this season to Michigan barley growers. The disease produces stunted plants with blasted heads, and the leaves are striped so that they look like ribbon grass. According to the college pathologists, the most effective way to get rid of the trouble is to secure seed that is dean and to avoid putting- in another crop of barley on the Held from which the diseased crop was removed, doaamnca as growers very rarely follow barky wit* barley. ti» •ecortn* of. dean teed from neighbors whose fields free from the diaeaae la eauld* wwy* e* a*edtee#f*i INNOCENCE. The culprit had hired the young town lawyer to defend him against the charge of stealing a book cabinet After the first conference the young student of law7 who was Just beginning court practice said to his client: "Now, Bill, I'm convinced that you didn't steal that book cabinet. If I thought you did PtTadvlse you to plead guilty. However, just leave it to me and I'll prove to the court that you are innocent. In the meantime I'll take a retainer of ten dollars and you can pay the rest when—" "Ten dollars!" said Bill. "I ain't got no ten dollars." At this startling news the young lawyer seemed downcasted, but suddenly he brightened. "Well, I'll tell you what I'll do," he said. "I'll try to get you out of this scrape and then we'll call It square If you send the cabinet around to my office. I need one badly." Disposed Of.

"Hurrah," they all shouted for every oae of them loved com, and even the daddy of the family shouted, "Hurrah!" Now the corn was In the kitchen on the table. There were five ears — o n e f o r every person. Each ear of corn was In Its home of beautiful corn silk, covered by nice green husks. "It will be a great surprise, won't it, mother corn?" asked a baby ear. "It will Indeed," said the mother corn. "What do you suppose they will do with me?" asked the baby ear. "Am I too small? Will I be thrown away?" "I don't think you will be thrown away," said the mother ear. "I hope not," said the baby ear, as It nestled in its silken bed. "What beautiful beds we have, mother," the baby ear said. "It's so wonderful to live in silk!" This was the first corn of the season and the family were very much excited that they were going to have It for lunch. "Lunch will be a great treat today," the children said. •Til get the butter," said one child. "And I'll see that the salt Is on the table." , "How delicious is corn with butter and salt," said another child. "And we always have it so piping hot too." The corn in the kitchen stayed quite still of course, but the baby ear of corn whispered to the mother ear, "We'll ' be piping hot, and the big people and children will eat us. They enjoy us, we'll be a treat. How nice It Is to be an ear of corn, only, only," "It's too bad corn hasn't the means of crying real tears," said the baby ear. "Oh dear me." said the mother ear, "tears aren't nice at all. People only cry when they are sad. Children cry If they have been hurt or If someone has teased them, and there are some children/I've heard with my corn ear, who will cry for nothing at all. These children are called cry-babies, but there aren't many of them, I'm than*- ful to say. "At any rate, tears aren't nice, rind they mean something unpleasant and sorrowful." "But I am a little sorrowful," said the baby ear. "You mustn't be." "I am so afraid I won't be eaten,** said the baby ear. "There are some creatures and things which wouldn't care to be eaten,* 1 said the mother ear. "I'm not one of them," the baby ear answered. "Cheer up, baby ear," said the mother ear, "If you didn't get the chance to grow Into a big, full-size ear of corn, at least you have had a silken bed. You've been able to live in a wonderful silken home, and that is more than many folks and creatures can do." "What is it to live in clover?" asked the baby ear. "They say, but in the corn field, that some folks think that it's fine to live in clover." "To live in clover," said the mother ear, *'means Just the same as to live in a silken bed. In fact it means anything that Is nice. People may live In clover and not be near a clover field, because they may live so happily and in such c o m f o r t a b l e , cheery, pleasant homes that it's a perfect kind of life. Clover does not always need to mean clover. It may just mean happiness." "Th^n we live In clover, though it happens to be silk, said the baby ear. *• We've been very nappy growing in the corn field, and now we're happy to think of giving thii family such a fine treat for their* lunch.

WESTERN CANADA FARM LAND PRICES Stories of pheiiomenul advancement and prosperity 111 Wester u Canada have been told the reading public for some years past. The stories were told when there were hundreds of thousands of acres of splendid land udjacent to railways and projected lines, which could be had on the payment of a mere $10 entry fee, and under cultivation and living conditions. A* was prophesied then, the day has come when these are few. There are still available thousands of these; they are some distance now from the railways. The land is as good as ever, but pioneering conditions will have changed. A great many are still taking advantage of this free offer from the government. The story was told when good lands near lines of railway could be bought for from .$8 to $10 per acre and the prophecy made that these prices would double in a few years, for the intrinsic value was far more than that. That day has come more quickly than expected. The immense crops of grain that could be raised has brought about the change, and the demand for low priced lands with maximum returns has prompted the keen purchaser as well as the owner of higher priced land from which no greater return coulo be looked for. Prices of bind in Wfstern Canada are still advancing, and will continue to advance uitil, of course, the limit is reached— when returns will warrant no further Increase. That day is not far distant. But, in the meantime, there are large tracts of land owned by land companies nnd private individuals that have not felt the advance that has been shown in other districts. The opportunity to purchase these should not be lost sight of, and if there are those amongst the readers of this article, which Is authorized by the Canadian government, who wish cheap laud, such lands as produce from 25 to 40 bushels per acre, and will pay for themselves out of one year's crop, advantage should be taken of the present opportunity. Coming to Alberta with his family thirteen years ago, his assets consisting of a small outfit and $20 in cash, Mr. 0. F. Malmberg has accumulated by farming and live stock raising assets to the value of more than $800,- 000, and has a personal credit, worth on demand, $100,000. He has not speculated in land, but bought only to farm. Near Blackie, Alberta, he operates 3,- 100 acres of wheat land. He has Just purchased an additional 11,500 acres near Cardston, In Southern Alberta. His personal credit enabled him to finance this deal in Calgary in a little over three hours. The ranch Just purchased is a fully equipped stock and grain ranch. At the present time It carries a thousand head of cattle and several hundred horses, and Is fully equipped with buildings, machinery, corrals, sheep sheds, dipping vats, etc. That Is a story from one district. Let us select one from a district some hundred or more miles from that. "Peter A. Klassen, who recently moved to Herbert, Sask., from Kansas, has purchased a section of prairie land In the Hillsboro district, about 24 miles northwest of Herbert, for which he paid $12,000 cash. He Is erecting temporary buildings to live In while putting the place in cultivation, and, this summer plans to erect good buildings on the farm and equip it for a home. Mr. Klassen recently sold his 80-acre farm in Kansas for $15,000 and is investing the proceeds in Canada." With the proceeds of the sale of his land in Kansas, this farmer purchased in Saskatchewan a piece eight^times as large as he had previously been farming, and had a balance with which to purchase equipment, stock, etc., of $3,- 000. Moreover as land in Saskatchewan may be expected to yield twice as much grain per acre, he will be able to produce sixteen times as much as formerly. The average value of farm land for the whole of Canada, including land improved and unimproved, together with dwelling houses, barns, stables and o'tber farm buildings, is approximately $44 per acre as compared with $41 in 1916, according to the latest report of the Census and Statistics branch at Ottawa. The average value of land in tfie Prairie Provinces is as follows: Manitoba $31.00 Saskatchewan 28.00 Alberta 26.70 It is the low prices at which land can be obtained In Western Canada which is rendering this country suck an important factor in the production of foodstuffs at the present tine.

Wounded Soldiers THE HIGHWAY TO SUCCESS Gregory Boy Now Rapidly Climbing H i s f r i e n d s h o p e a c h i e v e g r e a t n e s s w i l l Aspiring vocal students may well t a k e a lesson from the experience of Daniel Denton, the young tenor of t h e Boston English Opera company, who is alternating the tenor roles with Joseph Sheehan a t the Detroit opera house. As a youngster Mr. Denton showed much talent as a violinist and a t the age of 18 was considered one of A m e r i c a ' s most promising young violinists; in fact, wa.s talked of aa sharing honors with Albert Spaulding, who at that time was j u s t receiving recognition, when, while out in a sailboat, an accident broke his wrist. After the hor.f mt'ry.itd, in spite of long t r e a t m e n t , a slight siifi'iif-'HS reni'ur.ed in the writ't whieh made it t vidimt that Yi-'. future as a violinist was over. Not a very pleasant outlook for a boy whj had ueVoied more than Iu years of his life to this erne accomplishment, but instead of giving up he took inventory of his capabilities and discovered, or rather his teacher discovered, he had a tenor voice of unusual sweetness. Up to this time he ! ad newer studied a single r o t e vocally, but once he was convinced his teacher was right he worked day and night. He sang in churches, in q u a r t e t s and in concerts, No amount of work was too hard and criticism only acted as an incentive. Finally, after five years of study and work his opportunity came. T h e Boston English Opora company, during it's four m o n t h s ' run in Chicago, tried te.nor after tenor to alternate with J o e Sheehan, but the pace was too swift and one by one they were dropped. Hearing there was a vacancy, Mr. Denton applied for t h e position. He knew the task t h a t confronted him, but was game. He was accepted, and, aa is well known, made good. In telling of t h a t experience Mr. Denton s a y s : " N o one will ever realize the work I put in rehearsing all day and studying most of t^e night to learn a new role each week. Often I fell asleep on the car going home w i t h a score in my hands, but all's well t h a t ends well, and if continued hard work will bring success, they will find mo at the top of the heap some d a y .

Often Overlooked Projects Produce Nearly as Much Money as Obviously Important — Carefully Avoid Sudden Changes. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) When a record is kept of all the money taken in, and spent on the farm, at the close of the business year the cash accounts can be assembled under headings that will show exactly what branch of the farm activities produced the dollars and what each required in the way of cash expenditure to keep going. Some farmers are apt to Judge of the Importance of the various farm projects by the time it takes to put them through. To such, a complete cash record for a year, properly assembled, will be an eye-opener. Often seemingly unimportant things on the farm, such as the flock of poultry, produce nearly as much net cash as the obviously important. The year's cash summery helps the farmer to get a better perspective of these things. In using such records as an aid to future plans, hasty conclusions should not be drawn, nor should snap judgments be taken. The fact that the hogs or the corn crop brought in the most net money last year is no reason for assuming that all the activities of the farm henceforth should be devoted to the sole purpose of hog or corn raising. It may be that the keeping of cows was portly responsible for making the bogs so productive of net cash, or that the growing of wheat, clover, or other crops in rotation with corn made the latter crop much more profitable than It would have been If grown alone. Similar conditions will be met with on all farms, and therefore no sudden changes should be made on the basis of what a few accounts may show. On the other band, a single year's figures will occasionally indicate that IDLER MUST WORK OR FIGHT er caterpillars, leaf hoppers, aphlds or plant lice, early blight, and other foliage diseases. For most of the insects and for the diseases spraying with bordeaux mixture and arsenate of lead Is recommended, but for leaf hoppers and plant lice contact sprays, such as nicotine sulphate and emulsions, are the best. For blight bordeaux mixture is an effective means of control. Other methods calculated to help protect ths crop are jarring and driving, crop rotation and clean cultural practices. something is radically wrong; will show where the net expenses of oa< farm enterprise is a great drain on th« net cash returns made by the others. All phases of such an enterprise should be carefully studied and unless the losses can be assigned tc some reason, such as a bad season, temporarily adverse market conditions, epidemics, or similar unusual conditions, it may often be dropped with profit. Comparison of the annual figure! year by year is nother source of profli from the use of accounts, since by such comparison a true perspective and insight Into the makeup of th« business is gained. •M i # i i I I * + + » m - n i i * 11*+4 CITIES MUST HELP (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.)

ROSEN AND RED ROCK HELP Pedjgreed Varieties of Rye and Wheat Originally Developed by College Giving Highest Yields. By PROF. J. F. COX, Department of Farm Crops, Michigan Agricultural College. East Lansing, Mich.—For many Michigan" wheut and rye growers the past season was a discouraging one. Some were Inclined to forget the successful yields which good methods bring forth during average Michigan seasons and not Infrequently announce their Intention to grow spring grains in place of these much needed fallplanted grains. In certain cases where winter grains are not adapted or where seed beds cannot be prepared for planting, such a change may be advisable, but during these war days, we must have more wheut and more rye than ever before. To accomplish this the knowledge and practice of every erperienced wheat and rye grower is needed, nnd before any drop out of the ranks let us hope that they will consider the following points: 1. The past discouraging season was an abnormal one, the most severe recorded by the weather bureau. It Is not likely that another will come for many years. 2, The great majority of those who planted Rosen rye, Red Rock wheat and other hardy strains at a sufficiently early date, on well prepared seed beds, secured good yields during even the past season. 8. A half-century of wheat and rye growing has proved Michigan's fitness for these crops. Thirty years ago our acreage was nearly double what It is today. At present prices wheat and rye are again profitable. 4. Bread grains are needed to win the war. Our boys abroad win out because they are drilled to come back doubly hard after each reverse. Drill Red Rock wheat and Rosen rye In the same sntrit Good farmers like great generals lay their campaigns after a careful survey of the field, nature of the ground and af the weather, and of the number and strength of their enemies. They profit by the experience of others under like conditions. While conditions vary on every field it is nevertheless possible to arrange a composite plan of handling the rye and wheat crops which will mean success In Michigan in spite of weather conditions and insect dig-' eases. Wheat Campaign Plana; Variety.—Red Rock Is best. In the great majority of cases where It has been compared with other varieties on the farms in Michigan, Red Kock has proved to be the most resistant to winter injury and the highest yielder. As a milling wheat It- is of the highest quality grown in Michigan. Soil preparation,—Early plowing, thorough packing and frequent harrowing to secure a firm-worked seed bed mean half the battle of wheat growing. Fertilizer.—The use of 200 to 300 pounds of acid phosphate per acre applied at the time of drilling gives a marked increase. A good dressing of manure, disked or harrowed in after plowing and preparing the seed bed, and applied as a light top dressing in late fall or early winter, goes a long way toward preventing winter killing and greatly increases the fall crop. On add soils lime should be nsed not only for its effect on the wheat but particularly because it means good clover with the wheat Mulching.—A light top dressing with strawy manure or straw in late fall or early winter is advisable where winter killing la likely. Seed Treatment.—Thorough cleaning with a fanning mill removes light scabby kernels and most weed seeds. Formaldehyde treatment insures free* dom from smut Treatment is as follows: Use formalin or formaldehr/de solution at the rate of one pint for 26 bushels and other amounts in proportion. Put the fresh formalin, just as it comes from the druggist into a pint or quart hand sprayer (cost about 75 cents) and spray the grain which | has been spread out on the barn floor. Spray the grain as it Is shoveled over and over. Keep the sprayer dose to the grain sad the penetrating odorj of the formaldehyde win give no 41*» cjossfort. When. the right assoant of forssalsi has been applied, shovel the grain iato a heap and cover It for ex* actfy fonr heirs nad aw 1 anger, with b***v d t m or blankets. At the) of thjbi petted It ssssnfd tnen he Rsserhel infected sacks after a thorough airing. It should not be held in storage for many days. Planting Time.—Late planting is disastrous in Michigan. A great majority of failures during the past season was due largely to late planting in the fall. It la Important that both wheat and rye be planted early to secure a good top before winter sets in. In southern and central Michigan wheat should be planted before September 20. In north central and northern Michigau previous to September 10. Where Hessian fly outbreak has been noted, a few days later than these dates will help control the fly. Spring Clover Seedlings.—Seed with June clover or red and alsike clover mixture as soon as winter breaks. Early spring seedlngs give best results on all except light soils which are Inclined to blow. On these, April or May seedings give better results. Joint Worm.—Avoid planting wheat where extensive joint worm damage has been noted this season. Plant oats or barley next year instead, Rosen rye has changed our ideas in regard to the place of rye on Michigan farms. Owing to its high yield this variety has brought rye into areas where it. was not before grown. There is now an ample supply of this variety to plant the entire state, with a surplus to answer outside demands. These are coming not only from ad* joining states but from Washington, Georgia, Maryland. Virginia and South Carolina. In all these states recent trials with the Rosen have given marked results. On the soils not adapted i to wheat or where the joint worm has been noted, a great extension of the rye acreage is warranted. "Coming Through" With Ry«- Variety.—The cross-pollinated ryes should be eradicated. The variety known as "Rosen" is superior. Rye is like corn in that varieties in adjoining fields may mix through cross-pollination. Care must be taken not to plant Rosen rye near common rye. Unlike oats, wheat and barley, w;hlch are self-fertilized and will mix by -crossing, rye is open-pollinated and cross fertilizes to a great extent Soil Preparation.—Early plowing, thorough packing and frequent harrowing is the formula to secure a firm, well-worked seed bed. Clean corn land or bean land needs disking only. Rye responds to proper treatment but wiil do better on a poorly prepared seed bed than wheat. Fertilizer.—Acid phosphate at the rate of 200 pounds, and manure disked in after plowing or as a top dressing in late fall or early winter are best There Is a prevailing Idea that rye does not-need as much fertilizer as other crops, but try it and see bow well this so-called "poor land crop" responds to good feeding. Seed Treatment.—Fan thoroughly and discard seed badly Infected with ergot Time of Planting.—Early September plantings are recommended, though rye can be planted later than wheat with assurance of success. During a recent trip by the writer through St. Joseph, Branch and Calhoun counties, Rosen rye was visible in all these districts. The remarkable rapidity of the spread of this rye proves Its great worth. It was distributed from the plats of Plant Breeder F. A. Spragg of the Michigan Agricultural college In 1910 through the agency of the Michigan Crop Improvement association and county agents throughout the state, and -has become a standard crop in many counties. KEEN DEMAND FOR RAMS "Buy Early" Is T i p Being Given to Michigan Flockmasters. East Lansing, Mich.—In the light of thevexceptionally heavy demands made this season for Michigan rams, the word "buy early** Is being passed to shepherds and farm flock owners within, the state, "It is advisable now," according to Verne AH Freeman of the M. A. C. extension stiff, "to look up and buy or contract for a ram to use this fall. It is necessary to took into this matter early, because of the unusual demand which of late has developed for Michigan sires. Western floes: managers, who as a rale have seemed more keenly aware of the value of a good ram In breeding up a flock, are already purchasing and carrying out of the state many of the rams we will heed. "Under the circumstances, the man who waits until the last minute this season is liable to be out of lock, and of pocket The early buyers will also have lb* advantage of being able to secure the best animals.

London.—-British airmen brought down 4,102 hostile machines during the year ending July 1, the British Press Bureau just announced. During the same period the British lost 1,186 planes. The bureau declared that British aerial superiority is continually growing and that the American output will give the Allies a "very great" advantage". "During the year ending July 1 British airmen on the west front destroyed 2,150 hostile airplanes and drove down 1,083 out of control," the statement said. "In the same period, naval aviators, co-operating, shot down 623. The total of ours missing was 1,186. "On the Italian frost, during the last quarter, the British destroyed 165 enemy planes and drove down 6 out of control; on the Salonika front, in the last half-year, we destroyed 21 and drove down 13; In Egypt and Palestine, from March to June, we destroyed 26 and drove down 16. "Records show that British air superiority is continuously progressive, wherefore It is safe to assume that when America's ontput is effective the Allies will have a very great advantage.** SIX KILLED AND MANY INJURED Ship Loaded With Motor Trucks and Qll Exploded In N.

Edael Ford, Henry Ford's Bon, who holds a minor job in his father's establishment, has been permitted to remain behind the thousands of other Michigan men who have gone to the national army. His deferred classification is based on the idea that he is "iniispensible" as * cog in his father's business machinery. The farmers, in talking about t h e . Edsel Ford case, shrewdly question! each ether as to how the Ford industry . can spare Henry Ford if Edsel Ford is''in dispensable." They figure that the fa-; t h e r i s the dominant influence in his j business organization and that his son j ho3ds only a m'nor position. | Within the last week this angle ap- j pears to have devoloped as one of the j Significant features of the Michigan , political situation.

The Hessians were purely mercenary soldiers, and had no love for the cause for which they were fighting. Their career as fighting men ended ;nddenly on a certain Christmas eve when Washington crossed the Delaware. As soldiers they were not a very great success, but the damage which they did to America did not end with their capture at Trenton. Unknowingly they introduced into this country the Hessian fly, which was destined to become our greatest wheat p e s t According to tradition, this fly, or rather the larvae of the fly, was brought to this country in the straw which the Hessian soldiers used for bedding for both man and animal. It found congenial conditions In America, multiplied enormously, and now infests practically all wheat producing regions. The annual loss due to its ravages must be far up in the millions, and there ts no present prospect of eradication. The Fly Lives Over Winter in the New Seed ing,of Wheat The fly itself is very small—scarcely a quarter of an inch in length, and as for looks—well, it looks like a fly. Eggs for the spring brood are laid early in the season. The small grub goes down to the base of the plant and lives on the plant tissues, and later on goes Into a cocoon or chrysalis form. Emerging from this it lays eggs again ou the fall-sown wheat, just as soon as the wheat gets above the surface of the ground. It is this second brood that is so destructive, and which forms the "flaxseed" form seen on infested wheat Seed Wheat Late, The time of emergence of this second brbod of egg-laying flies is fixed by nature. If the farmer can only foretell this, and delay seeding—the fly will ?o off looking for other pastures, and may even die without having found opportunity for laying Its eggs. But the Weather Is Against Late 8eedlng. Right here is where late seeding to control the fly is against the best farm practice. Winter may set in early and destroy the young plants. j «"» « true, no visitor will leave the Unless the wheat has made a good growth before the ground freezes exposition without his patriotic spirit up, its chance of surviving the winter is slim.

Starting os an exceedingly small and unconsequential exposition it has grown year by year uri£il today the Michigan State Fair is one of the five largest annual fairs conducted on the American continent. Despite the fact that the State oi Michigan has within its doors this great agricultural and industrial display, combined with the premier features of the amusement world, there are still many Wolverines unaware ol Its mission and who do not realize its importance. While the State Fair has been of unlimited aid to the industrial and agricultural life of Michigan in forme* years, this year its scope has been greatly Widened and It will become a gigantic war agency. The federal goveminent has taken the fair under it? consideration and is sending large exhibits manned by federal employes. Co-operation Solution of War. Solution of the present atrocious world's war lies In the co-operation of the American public and Co-operation has been the fundamental principle of the Michigan State Fair since 184J. This idea has been an underlying maxim through the history of the organization, but It has been especially fundamental since the reins of office were taken over by G. W, Dickinson, Secretary-Manager, five years ago, This year the great slogan of Co-operation will be in prominence more than ever before. When a man sits down to a meal does he ever consider who provided it? Does he even know, in most cases, where the different components of tha< meal came from? Did the salt and the pepper drop as manna from heaven? Did the flax or the cotton which forms the tablecloth grow upon the home place? Were the fibers spun into yarn by his housekeeper and was the cloth woven on the household loom? Did he rear the animal which supplied the meat? j Most Independent Are Dependent. "vVho delved into the earth for the • silver, the lead and the clay and who j turner! these raw products into knives, 1 forks and dishes? j Xo thoughtful man can consider these questions without being tremendously impressed with the utter der ^ . ^ n r " ^ '-" pynn tvr> most independent man upon iho co-o^cration of hundreds r.f *V •..:-:: :• oi his fellow men, whom he has never met and never heard of. Xo matter what his vocation may be —rich man, poor man, beggar man thief, doctor, lawyer, merchant chiefman's very existence is contingent upon the co-operation of thousands of people and organizations. The Michigan State Fair is the gath- • ering ground where this co-operation may be established, and an agency for preventing men from becoming so thoroughly specialists that they forget the other fellow. It is there they learn the great benefits which are knowr to be the direct results of helpful cooperation. At the 1918 Fair, to be held in Detroit from August 30 to September 8, ever patriotic citizen may learn how he is able to do his share in cooperating against f i e Hun. Bands, Bands, Bands and More Bands to Saturate Air at Mich. State Fair Bands, bands, bands and more bands with their blare of trumpets will overrun the fair grounds during the 1918 Michigan State Fair at Detroit, August 30 to September 8. G. W.

The next evening we were relieved 6y the —th brigade, and once agaJa returned to rest billets. Upon arriving at these billets we were given twentyfour hours in which to clean up. I had Just finished gettiDg the mud from my uniform when the orderly sergeant informed me that my name was in orders to leave, and that I was to report to the orderly room In the morning for orders, transportation and rations. I nearly had a fit, hustled about packing up, filling my pack with souvenirs such as shell heads, dud bombs, nose caps, shrapnel balls, and a Prussian guardsman's helmet In fact, before I turned In that night, I had everything ready to report at the orderly room at nine the next morning. I was the envy of the whole section, swanking around, telling of the good time I was going to have, the places I would visit, and the real, old English beer I Intended to guzzle. Sort of rubbed It Into them, because they all do It, and now that it was my turn, 1 took pains to get my own back. At nine I reported to the captain, receiving my travel order and pass. He asked me how much money I wanted to draw, I glibly answered, 'Three hundred francs, sir;" he just as glibly banded me one hundred. Reporting at brigade headquarters, with my pack weighing a ton, I waited, with forty others, for the adjutant to inspect us. After an hour's wait, he came out; must have been sore because he wasn't going with us. The quartermaster sergeant Issued us two days' rations, In a little white canvas ration bag, which we tied to our belts. Then two motor lorries came along and we piled In, laughing, joking, and In the best of spirits. We even loved the Germans, we were feeling so hanpy. Our journey to seven days' bliss in Blighty had commenced. The ride in the lorry lasted about two hours; by this time we were covered with fine, white dust from the road, but didn't mind, even if we were I lar morgue. Some were mangled hor nearly choking. At the railroad station at F we reported to an officer, who had a white band around his arm, which read "R. T. O." (Royal Transportation Officer). To us this officer was Santa Glaus. The sergeant in charge showed him our orders; he glanced through them and said: "Make yourselves comfortable on the platform and don't leave; the train is liable to be along in five minutes—or five hours." It'came in five hours, a string of eleven match boxes on big, high wheels, drawn by a dinky little engine with the "con." These -match boxes were cattle cars, on the sides of which was pointed the old familiar sign, "Hdmmea 40, Chevaux 8." The R. T. O. stuck us all into one ear. We didn't care; it was as good as a Pullman to us. Two days we spent ©a that train, bumping, stopping, Jerking ahead, and sometimes sliding back. At three stations we stepped long enough to make some tea, but wene unable to wash, so when we arrlTed at B ••• • •> where we were to embark for Blighty, we were aa black aa Tnrcos and, with oar unshaven faces, we looked like a lot of tmmpa. Though tired out, we were We had packed up, preparatory to detrainta* when t B . T . 0 . held ap his hand for aa to atop where wt were been received cancelling all leave. If you had been three hours earlier you would have gotten away. Just stay in that train, as it is going back. Rations will be issued to you for your return journey to your respective stations. Beastly rotten, I know." Then he left. A dead silence resulted. Then men started to curse, threw their rifles on the floor of the car; others said nothing, seemed to be stupefied, while some had the tears running down their cheeks. It was a bitter disappointment to all. How we blinded at the engineer of that train; it was all his fault (so we reasoned); why hadn't he speeded up a little or been on time, then we would have gotten off before the order arrived? Now it was no Blighty for us. That return journey was misery to us; I just can't describe i t When we got back to rest billets, we found that our brigade was In the trenches (another agreeable surprise) and that an attack was contemplated. Seventeen of the forty-one will never get another chance to go on leave; they were killed In the attack. Just think if that train had been on time, those seventeen would still be alive. I hate to tell you how I was kidded by the boys when I got back, but it was good and plenty. Our machine gun company took ov&t their part of the line at seven o'clock, the night after I returned from my near leave. At 8:30 the following morning three waves went over and captured the first and second German trenches. The machine gunners went over with the fourth wave to consolidate the captured line or "dig in," as Tommy calls it Crossing No Man's Land without clicking any casualties, we came to the German trench and mounted our guns on the parados of same. I never saw such a mess in my life —bunches of twisted barbed wire lying about, shell holes everywhere, trench all bashed in, parapets gone, and dead bodies, why, that ditch was full of them, theirs and ours. It was a regain our case this proved to be BOX The German artillery and machine guns had us taped (ranged) for fair; it was worth your life to expose yourself uu Instant Don't think for a minute that the Germans were the only sufferers; we were clicking casualties so fust that you needed an adding machine to keep track of them. Did you ever see one of the steam shovels at work on the Panama canal? Weil, it would look like a hen scratching alongside of a Tommy "digging in" while under fire. You couldn't see daylight through the clouds of dirt from his shovel. After losing three out of six men of our crew we managed to set up our machine gun. One of the legs of the tripod was resting on the chest of a half-buried body. When the gun was firing, it gave the Impression that the body was breathing. This was caused by the excessive vibration. Three or four feet down the trench, about three feet frojo the ground, a foot was protruding from the earth. We knew It was a German by the black leather boot One of our crew used that foot to hang extra bandoliers of ammunition on. This man always was a handy fellow; made use of little points that the ordinary person would overlook. The Germans made three counterattacks, which we repulsed, but not without heavy loss on our side. They also suffered severely from our shell and machine-gun fire. The ground was spotted with their dead and dying. The next day things were somewhat quieter, but not quiet enough to bury the dead. We lived, ate and slept In that trench with the unburied dead for six days. It was awful to watch their faces become swollen and discolored. Towards the last the stench was fierce. What got on my nerves the most was that foot sticking out of the dirt. It seemed to me, at night, in the moonlight, to be trying to twist around. Several times this impression was so strong that I went to it and grasped it in both hands, to see If I could feel a movement. I told this to the man who had used It for a hatrack just before I lay down for a little _nap, as things were quiet, and I needed a rest pretty badly. When I woke up the foot was gone. He had cut It off with our chain saw out of the spare parts' box, and had plastered the stump over with mud. During the next two -or three days, before we were relieved, I missed that foot dreadfully; seemed as if I had suddenly lost a chum. I think the worst thing of all was to watch the rats, at night, and sometimes in the day, run over and play about among the dead. Near our gun, right across the parapet, could be seen the body of a German lieutenant, the head and arms of which were hanging Into our trench. The man who had cut off the foot used to sit and carry on a one-sided conversation with this officer, used to argue and point out why Germany was in the wrong. During all of this monologue I never heard him say anything out of the way—anything that would have hurt the officer's feelings had he been alive. He was square all right; wouldn't even take advantage of a dead man in an argument To civilians this must seem dreadful, but out here one gets so used to awful sights that it makes no impression. In passing a butcher shop you are not shocked by seeing a dead turkey hanging from a hook. Well, in France, a dead body la looked spoa from the same angle. But, nevertheless, when our six days were up, we were tickled to death to be relieved. Our machine gun company lost seventeen killed and thirty-one wounded in that little local uffalr of "straightening the line," while the other companies clicked it worse than we did. After the attack we went Into reserve billets for six days, and on the seventh once again we were In rest bit let*. Success Has Followed All Their Efforts. CHAPTER XXII. Punishments and Machine-Qun Stunt* Soon after my urriva.1 In France; la fact, from my enlistment, I had found that in the British army discipline Is very strict. One has to be very careful In order to stay on the narrow path of government virtue. There are about seven million ways of breaking the king's regulations; to keep one you have to break another. The worst punishment is death by a firing squad, or "up against the wall," as Tommy calls it. This Is for desertion, cowardice, mutiny, giving information to the enemy, looting, rape, robbing the dead, forcing a safeguard, striking a superior, etc. Then comes the punishment of sixtyfour days in the front-line trench without relief. During this time you have to engage in all raids, working parties in No Man's I,and, and every hazardous undertaking that comes along. If you live through the sixty-four days you are indeed lucky. Empey and his comrades make the deadly machine guns perform all kinds of tricks to the discomfiture of Fritz. The next installment tells how the German gunners are fooled. (TO BE CONTINUED.) IRON FOUNDRY IN WAR AREA How Women of France Are "Doing Their Bit" to Keep the Wheels of Industry Moving. An interesting narration of operation under unique and difficult conditions of an iron foundry in the war area Is given by the correspondent ol a British paper writing from the firing line in France. He relates: One doei not see much foundry work out here, but a few weeks ago I was billeted It I a town near by, and actually saw a cupola in full blast I at once got permission to have a look around, and was greatly surprised at what I saw. The foundry was a very primitive affair— just a little jobbing nhop—and was mostly run by French women and girls, superintended by a few mea These women were making work up tc three or four hundred pounds in weight, and in a little side shop somi half dosen women were making component parts of machinery by thi simple method of bedding-ln. I after ward saw some of the finished work, and It would put to shame the wort done by many of our so-called molden | at home. The women work la ordinary dress, and work very clean and exact in both iron and brass, and slsa under shell fire and air ra!4». 'in thi shop was a great hole where a Ger man had dropped a bomb the night be* fore, but the women still worked onv Scientific American. ribly from our shell fire, while others were wholly or partly burled In the mud, the result of shell explosions caving in the walls of the trench. One dead German was lying on his back, with a rifle sticking straight up in the air, the bayonet of which was burled to the hilt in his chest Across his feet lay a dead English soldier with a bullet bole in bis forehead. This Tommy must have been killed Just as he ran his bayonet through the German, Rifles and equipment were scattered about, and occasionally a steel helmet could be seen sticking out of the mud. At one point just in the entrance to a communication trench, was a stretcher. On this stretcher a German was lying with a white bandage around his knee,, near to him lay one of the stretcher-bearers, the red cross on his arm covered with mud and his helmet filled with blood and brain*. Close by, sitting up against the wall of the trench, with head resting on his chest, was the other stretcher-bearer. He seemed to he alive, the. posture was so natural and easy; but when I get closer I could see a largo. Jagged hole in his temple. The throe must hare been killed by the same shell-burst The dugouts were all smashed In and Knocked about big square-cut timbers splintered Into bits, walls caved la and entrances choked. Tommy, after taking a trench, learns to his sorrow that the hardest part of j t W w o r k U s o M d t t Thistle In Scottish History Various Traditions Concerning Its Adoption by the Highland Clans as Their Emblem. "The thistle of Scotland Is said to be the oldest national flower, and tradition traces its adoption to the reign of Alexander m and the battle of Larga" (when an attacking Dane stepped upon a thistle and Involuntarily gave the alarm, whereupon the Scots drove the Invaders out). "Another account of its adoption Is of a very different character," writes {Catherine M. Seals in Flower Lore and Legend. "About the middle of the fifteenth century a company of sternfaced men met in the council chamber of Edinburgh, and the occasion of that meeting was to discuss the advisability of substituting the thistle for the figure of St Andrew on the national banner. The proceedings of the council were secret but soon after the thistle appeared upon every Scottish banner. The national motto might have been adopted with appropriate' ness On either of these occasions: •Nemo me lmpune laeeestt' The poltte reading of this It, 'No man attacks me without being punished,' but the more simple translation of earlier days was, Touch me who daresP while the original la supposed to hare been, *Wna dare meddle wf ssef Another inscription which somethaea accompanies the Scottish emblem reads: *Ce que D4eu garde, est Mea garde;* That whidi God guards is well guarded.' T h e thistle appeared osndaJly lot the first time during the reign *f Jaaus O, who bad it placed em coinage of the kingdom and adopted It as his own badge. It also appeared upon the coins in the reigns of James IV, Mary Stuart, James V and James VI. The thistle merke was a silver shilling. The thistle dollar was a double merke. Each took Its name from the emblem on it." Cavite Flashes Time Over Paeiflo. Since October 1 the radio station at Cavite, co-operating with the Philippine bureau of posts and the Manila observatory, has been sending the time signals of the 120th meridian east of Greenwich nt 11 n. m.'and 10 p. m. every day, says Science, For the' purpose „«f sending time sls> nals, the transmitting clock of the Manila observatory is connected with the Cavite wireless station through the bureau of posts. Manila observatory time signals begin at 10:55 a. m. and 9:55 p. m., standard time of the 120th meridian east of Greenwich, and continue for five minutes. During this Interval every tick of the clock Is transmitted. except the 28th, 29th, 04th 55th, 56th, 57th, 58th and 59th of each minute. The situation of Manila In the Pa* cine makes this service of the greatest importance to the mercantile and naval fleets that »4* upon that ocean. On the train from Edmonton to Winnipeg the writer took a seat beside a soldier who had returned from the front. On his breast he wore the beautiful distinguished service medal. One coat sleeve was armless, and on his left cheek he bore a scar that he would carry to his grave. He had served his country faithfully and well. At the first call for soldiers In August, 1914, he hustened to the recruiting office, leaving his 320-acre farm, with its crop ready for harvest, a full equipment of farm implements, plenty of horses, and a wife. The wife should not be last on the list for she proved the master of the situation, and loyally took hold of the question of production, while her husband was on his way to fight the Hun. And she succeeded. In 1915 she succeeded, and again In 1916, and when her husband returned in 1917 she was able to show some contemplated farm buildings completed, the Indebtedness of the farm paid off, a considerable addition to the stock, and the land ready for a 1917 crop. This was the story told by the soldier, and wasn't he a proud man! He was now ready to do what he could to keep up the period of prosperity and provide food for the allies. The women of Canada have done nobly during the struggle. Among the most successful farmers of the Oak Lake district, Manitoba, are the Misses Clara and Beatrice Forward, who, for the past fourteen years, have farmed their own land, doing all the regular work on the farm, such as plowing, seeding, summer fallowing and reaping. They have been especially successful with stock, and have a splendid herd of shorthorns, both purebred and grade. At the recent Brandon sale they purchased a new purebred stock bull for $700. Their herd was last year Increased by 23 calves. Miss II. M. Hillman of Keeler, Saskatchewan, is another successful \voman farmer. She has gone in extensively for grain growing, and farms 1,120 acres. She also owns some of the finest Percheron horses In Saskatchewan. The prairie now boasts of many women who have had more or less success, though few are farming on the same large scale as Miss Hillman and the Misses Forward. These women have demonstrated, and are still dera« onstrating, that a versatile woman may be Just as good and successful a farmer as her brother. There are other women, too, on the Canadian prairies, who, though they have not had thrown upon them the responsibilities of "running a farm/' have been decided factors in making the farm a Ruccess. They assist their husbands by keeping the farm accounts, reducing the grocer's bills by their management of the poultry and butter, taking care of the house, and, very»often, proving good advisers in the economic management of the men and general conduct of the farm work. The man who moves to Canada carries with him a wonderful asset In a good managing wife.—Advertisement.

"So Willie has the mumps," remarked the caller, with a critical glance at the victim. "What are you doing for himr "We sent for the doctor,* answered the mother. "That's the medicine he left on the table yonder." ! "How times have changed.** returned the caller. "When I was a Tittle girt we used to treat mumps by taking a strip of salt pork, plentifully sprinkle it with salt and pepper and bind It around the throat* Tea, we thought of that, but at the present price of pork we decided it would be cheaper to get a doctor."-* Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.

' ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ' ^ 3 9 ^ - Boys and girls clubB for the raising of pigs, calves, potatoes, corn, beans and doing regular gardening and canning club work has been a very important work with boys and girls in certain counties in Michigan and other states. Livingston County h a s recently organized its first Boys and Girl clubs and others are in process of being organized under the supervision of t h e extension d e p a r t m e n t of the* Michigan Agricultural College, co-operating with t h e Livingston County F a r m Bureau. Boys and girls between the ages of ten and eighteen will be eligible t o join theae clubs. Each boy will purchase a pure bred heifer calf or a pig and care for it t o r a definite period, keeping a ord of feeds fed, and cost of iecd, or and other expen.-es. Arrangements have bl ; rn that the boys who wish to g e t club but are not able to their stock will be loan>\ ! the local hanks. The clubs pished a bulletin on t h e their1, stork ruui will Isold regis ings for the purpose of stirdy line of their respective work. These clubs hfive proven both popular and successful! not only in Michigan b u t in othor states as well. With the in'-reasi. ogcostof all foods as well as the added wages t h a t must be paid it is becoming more i\i)d more necessary thitt. onlv live stock of proven worth be raised. Tise nim of thif- flub work is not onlv to stimulate an ihb-re-i in this class of stock but to interest t h e boy in farm life, thereby keeping him on the farm. Calf and pig club work this year is a patriotic service and boys engaged in this work can feel thai, they a r e doing their bit to help their ciders who a r e carrying on the brunt of t h e battle " o v e r t h e r e " . The live stock interest of this country must not be a slacker, not only are these calf and pig clubs planring their part in the winning of the w a r but they are proving a source j of profit to the boys engaged in this work? The girls are also doing their bit by helping to cons -rve t h e food supply by canning fruits and vegetables They are doing this by t h e cold packing method which has proven to be especially valuable in the canning of vegetables, luach girl under fourteen wno j joins one of theae clubs is to can :;o jurs of fruit or vegetables. Kach girl over fourteen to can fifty jar.s. T h e work of of this Boys and' Girls club in order to be made successful and permanent must be undv r t h e supervision of an adult leader who gives advise and asrf, | sists the young club members in many ways. It also requires the support of the parents. Junior Extension work with boys and girls has its face turned toward t h e future. I t is looking ahead to t h a t era of reconstruction t n a t shall follow this struggle and which will sorely t r y every individual and every institution. It is attempting so to train these boys and girls t h a t they may work o u t here at home t h e principles of Democracy t h a t a r e being so dearly payed for by our boys and the boys of our allies. I wish to thank each and every girl who helped sell tha tags on t h e F o u r t h of July. T h e girls worked hard and gave to the P u t n a m yarn fund t h e g e o d - ly sum of $127. This fund is for knitted articles for our own home boys and yarn will be on hand Friday. Nellie E. Gardner, Chairman.

ASSERTS GERMAN RULERS FEAR THEIR OWN PEOPLE Says There is But One Issue {n This Werid War end the Settlement Must Be Final—"Blinded Ruler* of Prussia Hav» Roused Force* They Knew Little Of—Forces Which Once Roused Can Never Be Crushed to Earth." Mount Vernon, Va., July 4 . - I n bis Independence day address, which the world will recognize as an answer to Von Kuehlinann's recent speech in the reichstag. President Wilson declared that the Father of His Country and his associates spoke and acted, not for a class, but for a people and that it has been left for us to see to it that it shall be understood that they spoke and acted, not for a single people only, but for all munkind and were planning that men of every class should be free, and America a place to which men out of every nation might resort who wished to share with them the rights and privileges of free men. Referring to the present world struggle, the president said that the peoples of the world find themselves confronted by a selfish group of nations who speak no common purpose but only selfish ambitions of their own and by which none can profit but themselves and whose people are fuel in their hands. Text of Address. The text of the president's speech follows : "Gentlemen of the Diplorautlc Corps and My Fellow Citizens : I am happy to draw apart with you to this quiet place of old counsel in order to speak a littte of the meaning of this day of our nation's Independence. The place seems very still and remote. It is as serene and untouched by the hurry of the world'us It was in those great days long ago when General Washington was here and heir} leisurely conference with the men who were to be associated with him In the creation of a nation. From the gentle slopes they looked out upog the^ worhi and saw it Vhole, saw ii with the Hgnt of the future upon it, saw it with modern eyes that turned away from a "past which men of liberated spirits could no longer endure, it is for that reason that we cannot feel, even here, in the immediate presence of this sacred tomb, that this Is a place of death. It was a place of achievement. A great promise that was meant for all mankind was here given plan and reality. The associations by which we are here surrounded are the Inspiring associations of that noble death which is only a glorious consummation. From this green hillside we also ought to be able to see with comprehending eyes the world that lies about us and should conceive anew the purposes that must •et men free. Planned Universal Freedom. "It is significant—significant of their own character and purpose and of the influences they were setting afoot— that Washington and his associates, like the barons at Runnymede, spoke and acted, not for a class, but for a people. It has been left for us to see to It that It shall be understood that they spoke and acted, not for a single people only, but for all mankind. They were thinking, not of themselves and of the material interests which centered In the little groups of landholders and merchants and men of affairs with whom they were accustomed to a c t in Virginia and the colonies to the north and south of her, but of a people which wished to be done with classes and special Interests and the authority of men whom they had not themselves chosen to rule over them. They entertained no private purpose, desired no peculiar privilege. •They were consciously planning that men of every class should be free aad America a place to which men out of every nation might resort who wished to snare with them the rights sad prlvilefea of free men. And we take our cue from them—do we not? Wo intend wbat they intended. We bojro lav America believe our participation la this present war to be only the fruitage of what they planted. Our case daafera from theirs only in this, that It Is oar inestimable privilege to with man out of every nation alHnak* not only the liberties of Ajnorfca secure but too liberties of every ether people aa well. Ws arc a r t s * thought that we are uar- .*» do what they would kave bee* j a oar piece, heaettled oaca for all r America ia the K v X r - - ^iiaasV aaar susaa' 1 t*.y-'-"~.,wv,\,.; • draw today. This Is sumly a flttinf pi nee from which calmly to look ow upon our task, diar we ma,y fortify oui spirits for Its accomplishment. Ami this is the appropriate place from which to avow, alike to the friend* who look on and to the friends witli whom we have the happiness to be as soclated in action, the fuilh and pur pose with which we uct. Hun Rulers Fear Own People. "This, then, is our conception of the great struggle in which we are engaged. The plot is written plain upon every scene and every act of the supreme tragedy. On the one hand staud the peoples of the world—not only the peoples actually engaged, but many others also who suffer under mastery but cannot act; peoples of many races and in every part of the world—the people of stricken Russia still, among the rest, though they are for the moment unorganized and helpless. Opposed to them, masters of many armies, stand an isolated, friendless group of governments who speak no common purpose but only selfish ambitions of their own by which uone can profit but themselves, and whose peoples are fuel in their hands; governments which fear their people and yet are for the time their sovereign lords, making every choke for them and disposing of their lives and fortunes as they will, as well us of tiie lives and fortunes of every people who fall under their power — governments clothed with the strange trappings and the primitive authority of an age that is altogether alien and hostile to our own. The past and the present are in deadly grapple and the peoples of the world are being done to death between them. Settlement Must Be Final. "There can be but one issue. The settlement must be final. There can be no compromise. No halfway decision would be tolerable. No halfway decision Is conceivable. These are the ends for which the associated peoples of the world are fighting and which must be conceded them before there cun be peace: 1. The destruction of every arbitrary power anywhere that can separately, secretly and of its single choice disturb the peace of the world ; or, If it cannot be presently destroyed, at the least its reduction to virtual impotence. "2. The settlement of every question, whether of territory, of sovereignty, of economic arrangement, or of political relationship, upon the basis of the free acceptance of that settlement by the people immediately concerned, and not upon the basis of the material interest or ndvantage of any other nation or people which may desire a different settlement for the sake of its own exterior influence or mastery. "3. The coDsent of all nations to be governed in their conduct towards each other by the same principles of honor and of respect for the common law of civilized society that govern the individual citizens of all modern states in their relations with one another; to the end that all promises and covenants may be sacredly observed, no private plots or conspiracies hatched, no selfish injuries wrought with Impunity, and a mutual trust established upon the handsome foundation of a mutual respect for right. "4. The establishment of an organization of peace which shall make It certain that the combined power of free nations will check every invasion of right and Berve to make peace and justice the more secure by affording a definite tribunal of opinion to which all must submit and by which every International readjustment that cannot be amicably agreed upon by the peoples directly concerned shall be sanctioned. ~~ U. S. Can Never Be Crushed. "These great objects can be put into a single sentence. What we seek is the reign of law, based upon the consent of the governed and sustained by the organized opinion of mankind. "These great ends cannot be achieved by debating and seeking to reconcile and accommodate what statesmen may wish, with their projects for balances of power and of national opportunity. They can be reached only by the determination of what the thinking people of the world desire with their longing hope for justice and for social freedom and opportunity. "I can fancy that the air of this place carries the accents of such principles with a prouder kindness. Hero where started forces which the great nation against which they'were primarily directed at Drat regarded aa a revclt against its authority bat which has long since seen to have been a step in the liberation of its own people as well as of the people of the .United 8tates—and I stand here now to speak, speak proudly and with confident hope—of the spread of this revolt, this liberation to the great state of the world itself. The blinded rulers of Prussia have aroused forces they knew little of—forces which, once aroaeed, can never bo crushed to earth again—for they have at their heart aa Inspiration sad a pari we which aro deathKas aad of the M.-j staff of t*V umpa."

CHAPTER XIX—Continued. —1ft— Ai one point of the line where the trenches were very close, a stake was driven Into the ground midway between the hostile lines. At night when It was his turn. Tommy would crawl to this stake and attach some London papers to It, while at the foot he would place tins of bully beef, fags, sweets, and other delicacies that he had received from Blighty in the ever lookedfor parcel. Later on Frits would come out and get these luxuries. The next night Tommy would go out to see what Frits put into his stocking. The donation generally consisted of a paper from Berlin, telling who was winning the war, some tinned sausages, cigars, and occasionally a little beer, but a funny thing, Tommy never returned with the beer unless it was inside of him. His platoon got a whiff of his breath one night and the offending Tommy lost his Job. One night a young English sergeant crawled to the stake and as he tried to detach the German paper a bomb exploded and mangled him horribly. Frltx had set a trap and gained another victim which was only one more black mark against him in the book of this war. From that time on diplomatic relations were severed. Returning to Tommy, I think his spirit Is best shown in the questions he asks. It is never "who is going to win" tut always "how long will It take?' CHAPTER XX. "Chats With Frltx." We were swimming In money, from fee receipts of our theatrical venture, and had forgotten all about the war, through that our To get even, we could have left the prisoners in the fire trench, in charge of the men on guard and let them click Fritz's strafeing but Tommy does not treat prisoners that way. Five of them were brought into my dugout and turned over to me so that they would be safe from the German flre. In the candlelight, they looked very much shaken, nerves gone and chalky faces, with the exception of one, a great big fellow. He looked very much at ease. I liked him from the start I got out the rum Jar and gave each a nip and passed around some fags, the old reliable Woodbines. The other prisoners looked their gratitude, but the big fellow said In English, "Thank you, sir, the rum Is excellent and I appreciate It, also your kindness." He told me his name was Carl Schmidt, of the Sixty-sixth Bavarian Light Infantry; that he had lived six years In New York (knew the city better than I did), had been to Coney Island and many of our ball games. He was a regular fan. I couldn't make him believe that Hans Wagner wasn't the best ball player in the world. From New York he had gone to London, where he worked as a waiter in f t * day * * * * » e sued, our captain pany and asked for volunteers to go to the Machine Gun school at S t Omar. I volunteered and was accepted. Sixteen men from our brigade left tor the course in machine gunnery. •Tikis course lasted two weeks and we rejoined our unit and were assigned to t i e brigade machine gun company. It Almost broke my heart to leave my company mates. The gun we used was the Vlckera, l i g h t .308, water cooled. I was still a member of the Suicide dub, having jumped from the frying pan into the lire. I was assigned to •action 1, gun No. 2, and the first time "in" took position in the front-line trench. During the day our gun would be dismounted on the flre step ready for {instant use. We shared a dugout with the Lewis gunners. At "stand to" we would mount our gun on the parapet and go on watch beside It until "stand down" in the morning. Then the gun would be dismounted and again placed tin readiness on the flre step. We did eight days In the front-line trench without anything unusual h a > ipentng outside of the ordinary trench 'routine. On the night that we were to -carry out" a bombing raid against the German Unas was pulled oft. This raidlag party consisted of sixty company men, sixteen bombers, and four Lewts (machine guns with their crews. The raid took the Bocae* by sarprise and was a complete ssccesa, the party bringing back twenty-one prisoners. Tne Germans urast have been awfnl- Dead Bodies Everywhere, the Hotel Russell. Just before the war he went home to Germany to see his parents, the war came and he was conscripted. He told me he was very sorry to hear that London was in ruins from the Zeppelin raids. I could not convince him otherwise, for hadn't he seen moving pictures in one of the German cities of S t Paul's cathedral in ruins. I changed the subject because he was so stubborn In his belief. It was j my Intention to try «nd pump him for Information as to the methods of. the German snipers, who had bean causing us trouble In the last few days. I broached the subject and be shut up like s dam. After a few minutes he very innocently said: "German snipers get paid lewarde for killing the B a f b W I eagerly asked, "What are t h e y r He answered!

With u smite lie replied : "Well, ypu see, if all the English generals w'ere killed, there would be no one left to make costly mistakes." I shut him up, lie was getting too fresh for a prisoner. After a while he winked at me and I winked back, then the escort curne to lake the prisoners to the rear. I shook hands and wished him "The beat of luck and a safe Journey to Blighty." I liked that prisoner, he was a fine fellow, had an iron Cross, too. I advised him to keep it out of sight, or some Tommy would be sending it home to his girl In Blighty aa a souvenir. One dark and rainy night while on guard we were looking over the top from the flre step of our front-line trench, when we heard a noise Immediately in front of our barbed wire. The sentry next to me challenged, "Halt, who comes there?" and brought his rifle to the aim. His challenge was answered in German. A captain in the next traverse dimbed upon the sandbagged parapet to Investigate—a brave but foolhardy deed—"Crack" went a bullet and he tumbled back into the trench with a hole through his stomach and died a few minutes later. A lance corporal in the next platoon was so enraged at the captain's death that he chucked a Mills bomb In the direction ! of the noise with the shouted warning to us: "Duck your nappers, my lnoky lads." A sharp dynamite report, a flare in front of us, and then silence. We" immediately sent up two star shells, and in their light could see two dark forms lying on the ground close to our wire. A sergeant and four stretcher-bearers went out In front and soon returned, carrying two Hrap bodies. Down In the dugout, In the flickering light of three candles, we saw that they were two German officers, one a captain and the other an "unterofflzier," a rank one grade higher than a sergeant general, but below the grade of lieutenant. The captain's face had been almost completely torn away by the bomb's explosion. The unterofflzier was alive, breathing with difficulty. In a few minutes he opened his eyes and blinked In the glare of the candles. The pair had evidently been drinking heavily, for the alcohol fumes were sickening and completely pervaded the dugout I turned away in disgust, hating to see a man cross the Great Divide fall of boose. One of our officers could speak German and he questioned the dying man. In a faint voice. Interrupted by frequent hiccoughs, the unterofflzler told his story. There had been a drinking bout among the officers in one of the German dugouts, the main beverage being champagne. With a drunken leer he Informed us that champagne was plentiful on their side and that it did not cost them anything either. About seven that night the conversation had turned to the "contemptible" English, and the captain had made a wager that he would hang his cap on the English barbed wire to show his contempt for the English sentries. The wnger was accepted. At eight o'clock the captain and he had crept out Into No Man's Land to carry out this wager. They had gotten about halfway across when the drink took elect sad the cantata fett asissn. After about two hears of tain attempts the outeroffeier bed nt tut succeeded la waking the captain, reminded him of his hat. and warned him that he would be the laughing stock of the officers1 mess if he did not accomplish his object, but the captain was trembling all over and Insisted on returning to the German lines. In the darkness they lost their bearings and crawled toward the English trenches. They reached the barbed wire and were suddenly challenged by our sentry. Being too drunk to realize BREEDING SHEEP FOR FUR that the chaliei.-gs was In English, fhe captain refused to crawl back. Finally tho unteruiluier convince*I his superior that they were In trout of ttie English wire. Iieallzlng this loo hue, the captalujlrew his revolver and with u muttered curse tired blindly toward our trench. Ills bullet no doubt killed our captain. Then the bomb came over and there he was, dying—and a good job too, we thought. The captain deudV Well, his men wouldn't weep at the news. Without giving us any further Information the unterottizier died. We searched the bodies for Identification disks but they had left everything behind batere siarr.us ou th«ir foolhardy errand. Next afternoon we buried them In our little cemetery apart from the graves of the Tommies. If you ever go Into that cemetery you will see two little wooden crosses In the corner of the cemetery «et away from the rest. They read: Captain German Army Died — 1919 Unknown R. I. P. Unteroffizier German Army Died —- 1916 Unknown R. I. P. Empey and his machine-gun company go "over the top" in a successful but costly attack on the German trenches. The story of this thrilling charge is told in the next Installment. (TO BE CONTINUED.) ADDING HORROR TO SITUATION Conversation as Reported by Boston "Humorist" Would Seem to About Approach the Limit.

MORE SILOS NEEDED Building of Them Would Better Insure Corn Crop, M. A. C. Says. MUCH FOREIGN CORN PLANTED Silos Will Save Such of This as Fails to Maturs—Cost Not Prohibitive. From Office of Publications. Michigan Agricultural College. East Lansing, Mich.—One of the surprising features of Michigan's wartime agriculture has been the rapidity and the success wiih which ihe Michigan farmer has anijusieo. himself to the changed conditions which have eouie in the wake of the war. On many farms tractors have to u certain extent replaced liurses. On others machinery iias been made to muke up for a la"k of men, and in still more numerous instances; boys, and even women, have been drafted into the working forces to help keep up production More remarkable than all these has been the effectiveness with which the state lias met the seed corn shortage- Owing to the extreme acuteness of the seed corn situation early in the year, the corn acreage Is still somewhat below normal, but without the 100,1)00 bushels brought In by the seed corn committee, and dealers who cooperated with it, It Is doubtful If more than 50 per cent of the customary acreage would have been seeded to this essential crop In 1918. In congratulating themselves on the apparent successful tiding over of this crisis, however, many growers have lost sight of the fact that new problems may have come In with the Imported corn. Every effort was put forth by the men who secured feed for Michigan to buy only early maturing varieties, but notwithstanding the care and caution exercised by these agents, that If a farmer keeps at least ten cows, then it Is gi>od business to build a alio. All rules have their exceptions, of course, and in this instance northern Michigan tills this bill. The upper peninsula is developing rapidly as a dairying and cattle raising country, but It is perhaps making its biggest strides In sheep husbandry. At the college experiment station, situated at Chatham, It has been found economical to use the silo not only for corn, but for peas, oats and clover as well. A yield of 10.6 tons of peas and oats to the acre, when placed In the silo at the Chatham station^ wiere found to provide a most excellent winter feed for sheep. The second crop of clover was also put into the silo. If there Is a question as to the wisdom of building a silo It would be wise to take up the matter with the department of animal husbandry at M. A. C. A letter addressed to the department at Its offices in East Lansing will bring the desired Information. Or possibly It may be more convenient to call iu your county agricultural agent. There Isn't much doubt In the mind of the average up-to-date fanner about the value of a silo where corn and live «to<k are the main factors in the busii. e>s—a silo In the right place is about a* effective a weapon as can be turned against *he kaiser. The biggest bogy to the man who has silos on his mind is that of cost. "Couldn't think of buiiojnj; now with prices where they are, many of these men say. There is no gainsaying the fact that prices aren't what they used to be—and neither are corn prices. Bushel for bushel corn car; buy more silo today than it could four years ago. The secret of this declaration is to be found In the relutive increase in prices. The price of corn has advanced faster thar. the price of the materials which go Into the construction of a alio. The price should not stand In the way of the man who needs a silo. Aa a general practice, also, bankers are usually willing to advance loans for jjJIo building, for such a move o the part of a farmer is construed as constructive effort—as an attempt, In other words, to Improve the earning power of the business. G. I. Christie of Indiana has summarized the points in favor of a silo in this wise: 1. The silo preserves the palatabil- Ity and succulence of the green corn plant for winter feeding. 2. It helps to make use of the entire corn plant. M. The silo Increases the live stock capacity of the farm. 4. Silage Is a summer feed when pastures are short. 5. Because of the small amount of ground space required by the silo, it is an economical means of storing forage. 6. The silo prevents waste of cornstalks, leaves and husks, which contain about two-fifths of the feeding' value of the corn plant. 7. The silo located near the fc m manger Is an assurance of having fe. f near at hand In stormy as well us fui^ weather. 8. The silo assists In reducing the cost of gains In fattening cattle and sheep. 9. Silage greatly Increases the milk flow during the winter season and decreases the cost of production. 10. There ure no stalks to bother in the manure when corn Is put into the silo. .Some highly helpful information on the subject of constructing silos can be obtained from the department of farm mechanics of M. A. C. A card mailed to the department will secure this for you. I' A CONCRETE SILO. The value of these lies in their permanency and the fact that the cost of construction is low, because much of the material necessary for building can be secured on the farm.' there is a likelihood that much of the crop may not mature fully—unless Michigan (and a good season ought to be about due) should be favored with unusually good corn weather. Where there is a silo on the farm It will be possible to obtain a maximum benefit from the crop. If a farmer without a silo is caught with a late maturing variety, the loss may be considerable. Under the circumstances the evident moral is "Build n silo." Michigan, as a whole, Is probably as liberally besprinkled with silos as any State la the Union. It has been the alk>, In fact, that has really made the growing'-of corn profitable In the central and middle northern counties, for until it was Introduced, corn was hardly a safe crop except in the southern tier of counties. But while silos have come to occupy a large place in Michigan husbandry, there is still much toots for more—though the warning £jBast be added that not every farm * aeeds a alia The formula "where you hare eat*'end cattle, build a silo," is a fairly sals one.

Individuals in the communities in which these canaing "plants" have been established, bring their products to the center to be bottled or canned as the case may be.

BUTTERFLY'S GROWTH. "Butterflies come from caterpillars, don't theyJ Daddy?" asked Nancy one evening when Daddy came in to tell the children his usual good-night story. "Yes," Daddy answered. "Would you like to hear about the time in between —when they are growing?" h e asked. "We'd love to," said Nancy. " T h e r e are s o m e people," said Nick, "who hate caterpillars as they do snakes and are afraid of them. I'm not afraid of anything." "Neither am I," said Nancy. "T h a t ' s so," agreed Nick, with a show of bravery. "It's funny that you should have spoken of caterpillars a d snakes at the same time." said Daddy, "for there is something quite alike about them." "I know," said Nancy. "Why?" asked Daddy. "Because they both crawl," said Nancy proudly. "That Is really right, too," said Daddy, "but that was not what I was thinking about when I said they were alike." "Tell us what you were thinking, Daddy," said Nick. Daddy said that he would so both children were very quiet as Daddy commenced: "When snakes want to grow they have to shed their skins or there would be no room for them in which to grow. Now a caterpillar has to do -the same thing when it tries to grow. "After a caterpillar Is hatched from the egg it has soft skin over its little body, but over its heRd there Is firm skin so that while the soft skin can stretch the head covering will not. So a new skin forms under t h ' old one, Just as with a snake, to be all ready when the old one is thrown off. "But I must begin from the beginnlng, M said Daddy, "so I can tell you how the butterfly becomes a bntterfly. A butterfly lays an egg on a leaf. In a little while the egg becomes a caterpillar. And what do you suppose the caterpillar has for its very first meal?" Both the children shook their heads. "It eats some of the shell from which it came. It's n llttre like moving out of a house and before leaving It entirely eating It u p ! "Then the caterpillar begins to have meals of leaves. And now a new skin commences to grow under the old one, for like the snake, too, the more the caterpillar eats the more It grows. And that Is a little bit like boys and girls too!" Nick and Nancy laughed and Daddy continued: "The caterpillar's old skin comes open down Its hack, from its head, and it crawls and squirms until It is out of the old skin and is In n brand new suit! "Next the caterpillar takes a little r e st__f l S it is quite an effort for it to get a new suit. "But soon the caterpillar begins eating again—just as most of us will too—and then again It goes through the same thing with new skin growing underneath and the old one to be wriggled out of within a very short time. *s|?**l "And again the caterpillar goes through the very same thing. "Then the caterpillar becomes a chrysalis and soon a butterfly. Ah, how happy it Is then. To live in the w o r l d where there are flowers, to be beautiful, to .feel the sun, to taste of the honey of flowers, to h a v e wings with which to fly when one has been changing skins and crawling for such a very long time. "It's a happy nr'gj.C*-* day for the cat- WXw^P erplllar when it « E l t A „ o f M y becomes a beau- Honey" tlful butterfly. No longer will people call it a horrid caterpillar/ They will say, "Look at the beautiful butterfly V "And as the butterfly sips from the little flowers and enters right into the hearts of many of them, It whispers: " I've been a long time coming to yon, flower, but the hard crawling journey had a wonderful ending.'

TASK OF BUILDING VESSELS National Bureau of Standards Carrie* on a Wide Range of Scientific Investigation and Testing. By JAME8 H. COLLINS. (From the Committee on Public Information, Washington, D. C) When men first began to build airplanes they covered tbe framework with cotton sheeting and varnished this with beeswax, Just about as a boy takes almost any old newspaper that Is handy for making a kite. When men turned their attention seriously to the selection of the best cloth for airplanes they settled upoo linen. This was strong and gave a good fabric without much trouble in weaving. Moreover, airplanes were developed abroad, where linen is much more widely used than with us. Then came war, with its need for thousands of airplanes, and certain new demands upon airplane fabric, such as the greatly increased strength required In the acrobatic maneuvering with fighting planes, and the factor known as "tear resistance" made necessary by the contingency of bullet and shell splinter holes. Then we got into the war. The finest linen is grown in Ireland, ,but there is only about 100,000 pounds of It yearly. The next best flax fibers were grown in Belgium, where the industry has been practically wiped out by war. For airplane purposes Great Britain alone requires double the Linen production of Ireland. Query—With Uncle Sam proposing to make airplanes by the thousands and perhaps tens of thousands, where are we to get airplane cloth? Another airplane problem is that of wood for the framework, for which spruce has thus far been found the best material. But demands for straight grain spruce are so great in view of our airplane program, and so little of it passes the rigid requirements, that securing a sufficient supply Is very difficult. Only about 200 feet of wood are used in nn average airplane; but to get this 200 feet you must start by culling the spruce trees as they stand In the forest, and then culling the rough lumber after it has been cut, and culling the kiln-dried product, until finally after working over 5,000 feet of rough lumber you are lucky to have sufficient for a single airplane. Query—How can this part of the aircraft program be speeded up? Again, war requires that we build, equip, and man hundreds of ships. Ships are sailed by means of chronometers, which are clocks with mechanism built to watch fineness, highly accurate. Chronometers are not made in this country. In a limited way we have imported the parts from France, England and Belgium, and assembled a few bearing American names. But most of our chronometers were bought abroad, and war has made It practically impossible to get a sufficient supply. - Query—How are we going to sail our new ships? Some of the Problems. These are a few of the problems connected with fighting tools of which the public has heard less than about Ihe major details of war, such as cantonments, uniforms, rifles, machine guns, and heavy artillery. Each is a vital essential, however, and in every case Uncle Sam has taken steps to see that his fighters hare the best tools which can be supplied—something for its particular purpose which, starting wttfc tb€ best that the allies hare developed In three years of war, will wlsay that art a step further, giving fSfrovements characteristic of American invention and research. On jthe outskirts of Washington Uncle Sam maintains the national bureau of standards, which, in peace times, carries on a wide range of sdentiflc Investigation and testing. The national bureau of standards keeps the railrnatlonal standard meter and kilogram. It has scales capable of weighing the ten-millionth part of a gram, and a gram is about the fifth, part of a nickel In weight It also has testing machines capable of 10,000,000 pounds pressure. So that in this institBttim, 4Cricle Sam is equipped to measure tbe accuracy of watches* detecting variations of a fraction of a second in the minute* or crush a Urge steel bridge trass and accurately report upoo Us strength. In peace times this Institution serves, our industries in countless wars. M a y , however, most of its work ha* tea* centered on war problems. Hot «a ef these problems can be ssokea ot of them relate to the de»» te ea the heme treat ly, enough of them can be discussed to give people an Idea of how thoroughly and skillfully Uncle Sam la looking after war details in this special direction. The problem of airplane cloth was turned over to the bureau of standards and It's textile experts went to work. What makes u good airplane cloth? Most people would think of strength first of all, but this is not the chief factor—a fabric testing up to 80 pounds per square inch is quite satisfactory. Tau,tness is much wore lmportant--the fabric on an airplane must be stretched as tightly as the head of a drum, and stay that way. This property is secured partly by weaving and partly by "doping." After the fabric has been stretched on aircraft wings, It is doped up with preparations somewhat like collodion, which you have probably used for treating cuts. Then, for battle work, airplane wings must hold their tautness to the highest degree even though punctured by bullets or other missiles, and this Is where tear resistance comes In—despite the pressure of air upon the fabric It must be of such mechanical structure that a hole will not spread by tearing while in flight. The bureau of standards men set out to develop a satisfactory cotton airplane cloth. Cotton is more difficult to weave than linen, especially in the very tine counts needed for aircraft and not so widely made in this country us abroad. They changed the structure of the yarn, mercerized it, developed finer weaves, and by close teamwork between textile manufacturers, checking results by accurate tests and original specifications, iiave developed a cotton airplane cloth which is declared to be better than linen—and when the bureau of standards men say "better" they mean it in terms of measured factors of strength, tear resistance, and the doping quality which gives tautness. Incidentally, this American cotton airplane fabric, while being better, is not restricted by scarcity of raw material, and is considerably cheaper. Results have been secured chiefly by the construction of the yarn and by tension in weaving. Under a microscope a piece of this cloth shows no special novelty in weaving— it is a perfectly plain cotton cloth, but about as fine in count and mesh as has ever been woven tri this country. Dozens of samples of airplane cloth submitted by patriotic manufacturers anxious to help solve this problem show more ingenious developments in weaving, but are not found as suitable when submitted to the final measurement tests for tear resistance, tautness, etc. With the problem of aircraft woods most encouraging progress has also been made in finding possible substitutes for spruce in airplane frames, and mahogany, utilized for propellers. People often ask why wood is used so largely in the making of an airplane. This is easily man's most advanced mechanism. Yet in building it, man turns his back upon his own highly developed modern metals, with which he builds practically every other modern mechanism, and sets out for the forest with an ax on his shoulder. The answer is that, contrary to popular opinion, wood is much stronger than any metal for the particular requirements of the airplane—strength with lightness, and elasticity with the stiffness needed for the framework. True, mahogany has been found better than metal for airplane propellers, because' it stands rough usage, and at the tremendous speeds required, which would often burst a metal flywheel, is not subject to the distortions Involved with a metal propeller of the same weight—torsion of the propeller blades In flight of course would affect speed and perhaps mean disaster. Mahogany is the best Wfcod, because It is least affected by moisture. May Use Other Woods. Spruce for American airplanes has to be found in lengths up to 40 feet and Is rigidly Inspected for straight grain and sound growth. It has & high strength for Its weight, takes heavy impacts and shocks, and its resilience Is such that It bends without breaking or distortion as no metal will do. Careful investigations and tests point to the use ot at least one other wood for airplane frames, and perhaps two. Fir promises to be a good substitute, having higher specific strength than spruce, but somewhat heavier and not the equivalent in sustaining shocks. Cypress also seems to be promising at this stage of the experiments, and probably walnut or oak may be found satisfactory substitutes for mahogany in airplane propellers. The bureau also tests thousands of ship's clocks of which two types have been developed, one a timepiece of considerable accuracy and cost for locations where differences of one minute daily are a consideration, and the other a cheaper clock for the forecastle and other places, not much more expensive than an alarm dock. These are just a few of the war problems and tests now being handled by the bureau of standards, but they sheer what a peace-time government institution can contribute in the way of teamwork whan war becomes Uade •s<efcief industry* A Great Responsibility. ' I 'Jtuti responsibility attached to the preparing of a remedy for infants and children * is undoubtedly greater than that imposed upon the manufacturer of remedies for adults whose system is sufficiently strong to oounter^t, for a time at least, any injurious drug. It is well to observe that Oastoria is prepared today, as it has been for the past 40 years, under the personal supervision of Mr. Chas. H. Fletcher. What have makers of imitations and substitutes at stake ? What are their responsibilities?^T?o whom are they answerable? i They spring up today, scatter their nefarious wares broadcast, and disappear tomorrow. £ Could each mother see the painstaking care with wUch^the^prescription for Fletcher's Oastoria is prepared: could they read the innumerable testimonials from grateful mothers, they would never listen to the subtle pleadings and false arguments of those who would ^offer^anlimitation.of, or.substitute for. the tried and true Fletcher's Castoria. fet Contents 15 TtaidDraol Children Cry^For 4 QooDROPS JECOTOE-8 PER CENT. .

Well, I'm now back with the company a^ain. I have been for about two weeks now. I came back just aft- «er I wrote you the last time. While 1 was away the company was in the trenches but are <>ut now. I've Jbeen up near t'ie front a couple of times digging trenches and putting u^> barbed wire entanglements. This is supposed to be engineers work. The infantry «does it and they get the credit but it's got to be done so what's the difference. The weather here is grand. It is «eal warm and yesterday I saw some cherries nearly ripe. Poppies grow in the fields here. A greet many of the flowers thee grow in oar gardens grow wild here. Hu§ is about the prettiest country I*re ever seen. It reminds me m *t Pinckney a great deal on account of t h e hills. Yesterday I was in a church that has the steeple blown off and about all ,of the front Mown off. The people have in a front wall of tar paper and boards and still have mass in the church. PINCKNEY REMEMBERED Wilj of f o r m e r fresident s u r p r i s e s f r i e n d s . Carrie A. Allen, who formerly lived near Pinckney, die<3 recently at Howell. Supposed to have been in somewhat straightened circumstances, she leaves an estate estimated to amount to $7000.

Everything looks so peaceful and tranquil. You can go up within a mile of the front lines and the people are going on with their farming and °ther w^rk as if nothing were wrong. But every little while you can hear a big one burst that will bring you your senses. I am feeling fine. ' I believe I feel better than I have for years. I am as br.wn as an Indian. And I have lost that pala, peaked look 1 had a year ago. I get mighty lonesome at times, though and often wonder what you are -4oing at home. I was dreaming about you this afternoon, mother. I laid down for a little while and dozed off to sleep. You were talking to me and asking me about the army. When I woke up I thought I'd better write to you, Well dear parents | I'll close. Please write often and tell me all that is going on. Your loving son, P v t James R. Kennedy Co. A, 103 U. S. Inf. American E. F. via New York. ANOTHER vOUNlT PAPER For the third time, A.

After a abort experience as a recruiting officer in London, he is sent to, training quarters in France, where he first hears the sound of big guns and makes the acquaintance of "cooties." After a brief period of training Empey'8 company is sent into the f&nt-Une trenches, where he takes bis first turn on the Are step while the bullets whiz overhead. Empey learns, as comrade falls, that death lurks always in the trenches. Chaplain distinguishes himself by rescuing wounded men under hot fire. With pick and shovel Empey has experience as a trench digger, in *Jo Man's Land. Exciting experience on listening post detail. Exciting work on observation post duty. Back to rest billets Empey writes and stages a successful play. CHAPTER XIX—Continued. —15— The game is honest and quite enjjoyable, Sometimes you have fourteen [numbers on your card covered and lyou are waiting for the fifteenth to be called. In an Imploring voice you call out, "Come on, Watkins, chum, I'm sweating on 'Kelly's Eye.'" Watkins generally replies, "Well, ikeep out of a draft, you'll catch cold." Another game is "Pontoon," played I with cards; It is the same as our [••Bluck Jack." or "Twenty-one." j A card game called "Brag" Is also |popular. Using a casino deck, the dealer deals each player three cards. It is similar to our poker,- except for the fact that you only use three cards and cannot draw. The deck la_never shuffled until a man shows three of a kind or a "prile" as it is called. The value of the hands are, high card, a pair, a run, a flush or three of a kind jor "prile." The limit is generally a [penny, so it is hard to win a fortune. The next in popularity Is a card igame called "Nap." It is well named. 'Every time I played it I went to sleep. Whist and solo whist are played by the highbrows of the company. When the gamblers tire of all other igames they try "Banker and Broker." 1 spent a week tryipg to teach some of the Tommies how to play poker, but because I won thirty-flve francs they declared that they didn't "fawncy" the game. Tommy plays few card games; the ^general run never heard of poker, euchre, seven up, or pinochle. They have a game similar to pinochle called MItoyaI Bezique," but few know how to play It Generally there are two decks ot cards in a section, and In a ehort time I they ore so dog-eared and greasy, you I can hardly tell the ace of spades from the ace of hearts. The owners of these i decks sometimes condescend to lend them after much coaxing. So you see, Mr. Atkins has his fun mixed in with his hardships and, contrary to popular belief, the rank and ifiie of the British army in the trenches is one big happy family. Now in Virjginrk, at school, I was fed on old Mo Guffy's primary reffder, which gave me an opinion of an Englishman about 'equal to a 76 Minute Man's backed up by a Sinn Fetner's. But I found Tommy to be the best of mates and a gentleman through and through. He never thinks of knocking his officers. If one makes a costly mistake and Tommy pays with his blood, there is no general condemnation of the officer. He Is Just pitied. It is exactly the same as It was with the Light Brigade at Balaclava, to say nothing of Galllpoll, Neuve Chapelle and Loos, Personally I remember a little incident where twenty of us were sent on a trench raid, only two of us returning, but I will tell this story later on. I said it was a big happy family, and so it is, but as in all happy families, there are servants, so in the British army there are also servants, officers' servants, or "0. S." as they are termed. In the American army the common name for them is "dog robbers." From a controversy in the English papers, Winston Churchill made the statement, as far as I can remember, that the officers' servants in the British forces totaled nearly two hundred thousand. He claimed that this removed two hundred'thousand exceptionally good and well-trained fighters from the actual firing line, claiming that the officers, when selectipg a man for servant's duty, generally picked the man who had been out the longest and knew the ropes. But from my observation I find that a large percentage of the servants do go over the top, but behind the lines they very seldom engage in ('igging parties, fatigues, parades or drills. This work is as necessary as actually engaging In an attack, therefore I think it would be safe to say that the allround work of the two hundred thousand is about equal to fifty thousand men who are on straight military duties. In numerous instances, officers' servants hold the rank of lance-corporals and they assume the same duties and authority of a butler, the one stripe giving him precedence over the other servants. There are lots of amusing stories told of "O. S." One day one ot our majors west into the servants' billet and commenced "blinding" at them, saying that his horse had no straw and that he personally knew that straw had been Issued for this purpose. He called the lance-corporal to account The corporal answered, "Bllme me. air, the straw was issued, but there wasn't enough left over from the servants' beds; in fact, we had to use some, of the 'ay to 'elp oat, sir." * It is needless to say that the servants dispensed with their soft beds that particular night Nevertheless it is not the fault of the individual officer, it is just the survival of a quaint old English custom. You know an Englishman cannot be changed in a day. But the average English officer is a good sport. He" will sit on a fire step and listen respectfully to Private Jones' theory of the way the war should be conducted. . This war is gradually crumbling the once insurmountable wall of caste. You would be convinced of this if you could see King George go among his men on an inspecting tour under fire, or pause before a little wooden cross in some shell-tossed field with tes/s in his eyes as he reads the Inscription. And a little later perhaps bend over a wounded man on a stretcher, patting him on the head. More than once in a hospital I have seen a titled Red Cross nurse fetching and carrying for a wounded Boldler, perhaps the one who in civil life delivered the coal at her back door. Today she does not shrink from lighting his fag or even washing his grimy body. Tommy admires Albert of Belgium hecause he is not a pusher of men; he leads them. With him it's not a case of "take that trench," it is "come on and we will take it." It is amusing to notice the different characteristics of the Irish, Scotch and English soldiers. The Irish and Scotch are very impetuous, especially when it comes to bayonet fighting, while the Englishman, though a trifle slower, thoroughly does his bit; he is more methodical and has the grip of a bulldog on a captured position. He is slower to think; Hut is the reason why he -never knows when he Is licked. Twenty minutes before going over the top the English Tommy will sit on the fire step and thoroughly examine the mechanism of his rifle to see that it is in working order and will fire properly. After this examination he is satisfied and ready to meet the Boches. But the Irishman or Scotchman sits on the fire step, his rifle with bayonet fixed between his knees, the butt of which perhaps is sinking into the mud —the bolt couldn't be opened with a team of horses it is so rusty—but he spits on his sleeve and slowly polishes his bayonet; when this is done he also is ready to argue with Fritz. It is not ""necessary to mention the colonials (the Canadians,.Australians and New ZealandeiS), the whole world knows what they have done for England. The Australian ai<d New Zealander is termed the "Abtac," taking the name from the first letters of their official designation, Australian and New Zealand army corps. Tommy divides the German army into three classes according to their fighting abilities. They rank as follows: Prussians, Bavarians aad Saxons. When up against a Prussian regiment it is a case of keep your napper below the parapet and duck. A bangbang all the time and a war is on. The Bavarians are little better, but the Saxons are fairly good sports and are willing occasionally to behave as gen- Britlah Geological Photos. A committee of the British Association for the Advancement of Science has been engaged for many years In forming a national collection of photographs Illustrating the geology of the British Isles. According to the last report the collection now includes opward of 5,600 pictures. More than a thousand of these were taken in Yorkshire. A collectiod-of the same, character has been made by the geological survey of Great Britain, which has recently published a list of Its Scottish pictures. Both the B.

At one point of the line the trenches were about thirty-two yards apart This sounds horrible, but in fact it was easy, because neither aide could shell the enemy's front-line trench for fear shells vwould drop into their own. This eliminated artillery fire. In these trenches when up against the Prussians and Bavarians, Tommy had a hot time of it, but when the Saxons "took over".it was a picnic; they would yell across that they were Saxons and would not fire. Both aides would ait on the parapet and carry on a conversation. This generally consisted of Tommy telling them how much he loved the kaiser, while the Saxons informed Tommy that King George was a particular friend of theirs and hoped that be was doing nicely. When the Saxons were to be relieved? by Prussians or Bavarians, they would yell this Information across No Man's Land and Tommy would immediately tumble into his trench and keep his bead down. If an English regiment was to be relieved by the wild Irish, Tommy would tel] the Saxons, and immediately a volley of "Donner und Blitzens" could be heard and it was Fritz's turn to get a crick in his back from stooping, and the people in Berlin would close their windows. Usually when an Irishman takes over a trench, jusFbefore "stand down" In the morning, he sticks his rifle over the top, aimed in the direction of Berlin, and engages in what is known as the "mad minute." This consists of firing fifteen shots in a minute. He Is not aiming at anything in particular —just sends over each shot with a prayer, hoping that one of his strays will get some poor unsuspecting Frit* in the napper hundreds of yards behind the lines. It generally does; that's the reason the Boches hate the man from Erin's isle. The Saxons, though better than the Prussians and. Bavarians, have a nasty trait of treachery in their makeup. Empey, questioning a German prisoner, finds he's from New York. The interesting Interview is related in the next installment (TO BE CONTINUED.) - RED MAN'S GOOD QUALITIES At a' Race, and individually, the American Indian Has Proved Capable of Many Things. It is very worth while to give the Indian a square deal, lie has proved himself capable of great things. Two" presidents of Peru have been Indians.* One of Mexico's greatest presidents was an Indian, nnd Bolivia has had at least one great Indian president One expects them to excel in warfare. The Araucanian'Lantare was the great' est military chieftain South America has produced except San Martin, and we have had Qen. John A. Logan and Gen. Ell S. Parker. Numbers of our senators and congressmen have been proud of their Indian blood, and Thomas C. Moffett, who knows the red man well, says that "in the professional world today, on farms among leaders in .business affairs, the Indian, educated and Christianized, is taking his place; clever Indian lawyers are looking out for the interests of their tribes: capable Indian physicians are ministering toJXe needs of their own peoptej^-earnest Indian preachers and teachers are spreading among the reservations- the seed of the gospel message; aggressive Indian agricultural experts are teaching the younger generation how to improve land and crops; the new Indian is helping the forward-movement activities of his country." The white man's diseases and vices have burdened the Indian, but his schools, medicine, Christian morals and faith can, if he so wills it, lift that harden and make his red brother once again a free man.—Evengellr* Cole, in World's Outlook. tlameea study I* thUtnd eKatea, Abort fifteen ^students from atest have mglstered at Assesicao educational Institutions tfeti year to e^alify in tbs professions of law, atedlcta* and dvil eoctneerinsV Several sac* stadsatsaarf tn the past American colleges and engineering schools and are now employed by their own government in important public works* Incidentally they have been tms means of introducing American machinery, scientific apparatus and other manufactures into _ their country.

On the wall in the president's office at the Hotel Sever-in, there hang three handsome framed personal letters addressed to the head of the Institution. "Received them all in one day," said A.

The writer of each of the three framed letters was grateful for some courtesy or favor, or this or that, which-pleased him during his stay as a guest.

FRENCH CONTINUE NIBBLING ENEMY LINE NEAR MARNE HunQarimn Premier in 8peech~ Before Parliament Title Austrian Offensive Against Italy Wat a Costly Failure. London—Attacking' Austra-Hungarian lines on the Asiago plateau, Italians have wrested Monte D'Valbella from the enemy, capturing 800 prisoners and cannon, holding their new positions against repeated counter attacks. This sudden turn from the defensive to the offensive came as a surprise to the laymen of the Allied world, for it had been believed General Diaz, Italian commander, would be content to hold his lines In the mountains against a great, new offensive Intended by the Austrlans and Germans to take away the sting of the defeat of the Austrlans along the Piave two weeks ago. Nor was the Italian attack limited to the positions onjtfonte D'Valballa. Further east, on the left bank of the Branta river, they captured the night of Sasso Rosso, just north of the -village of Valstagna, These two actions while local In character, may explain the failure of Italians to pursue the Austrlans across the Piave when, on June 23 the enemy fled from the west bank with a haste that indicated something of demoralization. • General Diaz probably has expected the heaviest enemy blow to be launched along the mountain front, whloh Is the key to the whole Italian situation. In attacking there himself he has carried the fight to the foe, gained strong positions 0 at vital points and broken up preparations made by the enemy for an offensive in that quarter. French Continue Nibbling. -The French are continuing their "nibbling" tactics along the line running northward from the Marne. Friday they swept the Germans back from the environs of Villers-Cotterets forest, southwest of Soissons, and held by American troops in that sector. A long ridge between the villages of Mosley and Paesy-en-Valois was occupied and 265 prisoners were taken. Further north near St. Pierre Algle, the French positions we/e improved by a local attack. British Repulse Enemy Assault. The British have repulsed an enemy assault in the neighborhood of Merris, near where Germans were driven back e v t of Nleppe forest on Friday. The British official statement mentions heavy German artillery fire before Amiens, near Albert north of the Scarpa, near Arras, and in the region of Festubert, northwest of Lens. The official statement issued at Berlin says artillery firing has increased between the Yser and the Marne, which Includes virtually all of the active battle zone. Alligator Dinner.

The Effects of Opiates. TEAT INFANTS tie peculiarly susceptible to opium and i*s varfcwa yiepaiitams, all oi which are narcotics at well known. Even in the smallest doses, if continued, these opiates cause changes in tha functions and growth of the cells which are likely to become permanent, causing imbecility, mental perversion, a craving for aloohol or narootica in later life. Nervous dlsaaece. such aa intractable nervous dyspepsia and lack of staying powers are a result of dosing with opiates or narootica to keep children quit t in their infancy. The rale among physicians is that children should never receive opiates in the smallest doses for more than a day at a time, and only then if unavoidable. The administration of Anodyne*, Drops, Cordials, Soothing Syrups and other narootica to children by any but a physician cannot be too strongly decried* and the druggist should not be a party to it. Children who are ill need the attention of a physician, and it ia nothing leas than a crime to dose them willfully with narootica. Caetorla contains no narootica if it bears the signature of Cnaa. H.

Hurvuui Publisher Dispatch: - One day last week two ladies were obliged to wait some hours in Pinckney while their auto was being repaired. After a visit to the ice cream parlors one of the ladies suggested that they walk over to the park and sit down for a while. Not being familiar with the sidewalk system, they did not find the crosswalk, so bravely trudged acjross the street through the sand ard dust to find there were no seats. Uncomplaining, they took the only alternative and t a t on the grass. The sight of two finely dressed ladies Bitting on the grass brings out the suggestion that as the trees in the park are now large enough to furnish considerable shade, lawn seats be provided for the benefit of citizens and strangers who come here during the summer and patronize the business places. Farmers also, v*ho frequently are obliged to wait in town before going home, would appreciate them. Other^places, some not as large as Pinckney, are better equipped than we are in this respect. We have a fine park—let us take advantage of it. TAXPAYER.

Theodore Roosevelt, has been cited in the United States Army orders for valor'in the Cantigny battle of May 27. The citation reads: " H e displayed the highest quality of courage and leadership, going forward to supervise personally t h e action of one of the companies of his battalion which attacked Cantigny, "The next day, although gassed with effects to his lungs and blindness to his eyes, Major Roosevelt gav« an inspiring example of devotion to duty, refusing to be sent t o a hospital and retaining command of the battalion, which was under heavy bombardment throughout the engagement." Prohibition Edited by M. E. S. The claim by the wets t h a t business would slacken after May 1st are refuted according to a dry organ who claim: Mr. Crowley, of Crowley, Milner & Company characterized such wet claims as ridiculous. Business for May and the first half of June had been better than in any previous period. Mr. Webber, head of the J. L. Hudson company, said the May .business broke the record. Other merchants made similar statements indicating that what was spent for liquor is now being spent for jood and clothing. Bills are beteg paid more promptly. Papa bring* home the shoes A school auxiliary of the Junior Red Cross has been organized in the Pinckney schools. The work of this organization will be closely related to that of the Senior organization. Supt. Doyle started the machinery of the organization working Wednesday at noon and by Thursday morning the organization was completed with l/'O per cent membership throughout the school. This speaks well for the patriotism of t h i students as well as the parents who furnished the necessary fun^s. It may be stated that the tenth grade was the first to £0 ove? the top followed in three minuted by the Juniors. Surely the sacrifice mad3 by the older member.- of families as they otTer up their all to the war god is not being unappreciated when an appeal to the boys and girls of our public schools brings such a whole nearted response in such a short time. When school opens next September and the actual work of the Junior Red Cro3S begins every boy and girl means to back up this response by a still greater, that of devoting all their spare time, money, and energy to assist in alleviating the suffering of our boys In France. NITE ON NEWBERRY His Friends Believe Ha Is t h e Man to Harmonize A l l Elements in t h e Republican Party. Paul II.

Many republicans do not J hesitate to express themselves as be- j lieving that the party In Michigan is '' able to select its candidate for Senator without outside suggestion. Moreover, the attention of everyone has now been called to the necessity of the selection at this time for this high office of the ablest man available. "It" is unquestionably the patriotic duty of every citizen to lend his effort to help bring -about the selection of such a man. That is why, I believe, the men of Michigan, irrespective of party in many instances, are rallying to the support of Truman H. Newberry. They know that he has the ability, the broad experience and the vision of the future and that hia integrity is beyond question. He is not only in the service himself, but his sons also, and in fact his entire family. He i? doing everything possible to help win the war. tie is devoting hi3 entire time and attention to his duties in the Third Naval District. His friends believe that he Is just the man to unite all elements in the Republican party, and that as Senator he would acceptably serve the people of the whole state. "We shall go steadily forward with our efforts In his behalf until the day of the primaries. We have literally thousands of assurances of support, and we are confident of bis nomination nd election.** ^•v' •Vsco' Tread #4S\ yjTATE CK MICHI<i4*V, the Probate Court f<r O the county of Livingston. >t a session of •Hid Conrt, "cli 21 thr probate office in the city of Hovell In Bald county, on the 28tb day .of June, A.

By C. H. GRAVE8, Farm Management Demonstrator, Michigan Agricultural College. East Lansing, Mich.—It has been found through investigation over all parts of the state that the farmers who have made the greatest profits in their business have kept careful records and accounts and have used them as a means of studying the condition of their organization and working out ways of Improving it. On account of these findings, special efforts are being made in Michigan and elsewhere to have greater numbers of farmers keep farm books and use them 'to strengthen their management Not only does a farm record serve as a guide to better management, but It also furnishes a very convenient way to make out income tax reports, make up financial statements in order to secure loans, make out schedules of cost to present to commissions and figure up costs of production In order to meet buyers Intelligently—all of which are ways of meeting the business world on its own platform. Business Farmer Least Troubled. The fact that the country Is dependent on Its agriculture has been most forcefully brought home to us during the past year. Farmers are looked upon as business men, and are to be dealt with on business terms. The farmer who has In the past followed the development of the business world and adopted some form of accounts or records is the one who has the least trouble to bear at critical times. The Income tax reports have brought home to the farmers of the country the necessity for more and better records. Many farmers were unable to give a definite statement concerning their income for the past year. A recent decision of the United States Treasury Department No. 2665 amending the income tax decision No. 2153, states that "farmers who keep books according to some approved method of accounting which cleady shows the net income, and take annual Inventories, may, If the same method Is consistently followed from year to year, prepare their returns in accordance with the showing made by the books and inventories." This decision makes it possible for farmers to report their income directly from the yearly .summary as is provided for In account books put out through the county agents. Accounts Make Loans Easier. The farmer often finds It necessary to secure a short-time loan In order to carry on the regular farm business, or to make desired changes. The man who keeps systematic records of his business is much more likely to be given consideration by the bank than tho one who does not. The banks In many of the states are requiring such statements, which makes It quite necessary for the farmers doing business wKh them to keep records. Often farmers are refused credit by the banks because the banker has" no ready means to determine the standing of his patron, and the farmer Is refused credit for no other reason. The use of a farm financial statement would soon remedy this matter. During the period of the present year, many demands have been made on the farmers to furnish data on costs of production -by the federal food adcheaply as possible, that his profits may be larger. It Is equally good business for the fanner to know exactly what it has coat him (n previous years to produce the crop, and, know what the minimum pri^e Is that he can accept and still profit by producing the crop. The margin between the cost of production and the maximum price the manufacturer can pay will go to the man who shows the best business ability, and has facts upon which to base his dealings. A carefully kept, systematic farm record Is the most Important factor In carrying ont these suggestions to a profitable end. Although most of the points touched upon have been in relation to things of the business world off the farm, records can be of equal value to any farmer in connection with the management on the farm. .Many farmers realise that there Is opportunity for Improvement, but a lack of definite Information on their several lines of interest keeps them from making any* changes. At the present time, farmers all over the country are confronted with a shortage of farm labor. Opportunities far Saving Labor. In many sections of the country It Is a common custom to use large units ,pf horse labor per man, one man driving 'three and four horses on farm implements Instead of only two, thus saving the time of another man. Oth-, er sections of equally large fields and smooth ground are still using only the two-horse teams. Such Instances as these are entirely a matter of custom. It behooves every man to examine conditions on his farm to see if he Is of thuf custom-bound class. Many men have not come to realize this until they have kept a record of their labor throughout the year, and realise in a concrete way how much they might have saved on this one factor alone. The distribution and efficiency of farm labor Is closely interrelated with the systems of crop rotations. Each farmer can, by a little careful thonght and planning ahead, make his system of rotation such that It not only produces crops economically by making the best use of his labor, but it also furnishes the proper amount of nourishing roughage which can be fed profitably on the farm. When one stops to consider the many ways that farm records can be useful in bringing about better management, and thereby greater profit In farming, no one can afford not to use the few minutes required each day to keep a careful account of his farm business, and receive the benefit accorded by it. A simple set of farm records, such as have been worked out by the farm management demonstrator of the college to meet the peculiar needs of the farmers of the state, can be procured through the county agricultural agents, and any assistance needed to, get started will be given. Every farmer in the state has the opportunity of going ahead In the same manner as has been found to be the practice of the most successful.

BMtMTTll BLACK-HEART OF POTATOES Improper Shipping Precautions Cause Heavy Loss to Michigan Growers. East Lansing, Mich.—One of the frequent causes of loss to Michigan grow* ers of potatoes during the past winter and spring was the prevalence of black-heart In many carload lots of tubers. In two carloads shipped from Ludlngton to Toledo, for Instance, the loss was 86 per cent, while in another car shipped from Lansing to Toledo the damage was almost equally heavy. Most people are familiar with black* heart In advanced cases the tubert show hollow, black-bordered cavities In the center. Black-heart is produced when potatoes are heated to 90 degrees to 104 degrees F. for a few hours or stored at lower temperatures In piles deeper than 6 feet without ventilation from the sides or bottom. Temperatures of 90 degrees to 104 F. are not infrequent W. N. U., DETROIT, NO> 27-1918. TO CAMOUFLAGE A HOME Just a Few Simple Suggestions That May er May Not Be Exactly Followed. .

Back the sideboard up against the place where the wainscoting was blistered during a chafing dish party given by your predecessors. By keeping the player-piano going you can easily ocercome the banging of the faulty radiator in the living room. | The temperature may be made agreeable by constant-exercise with wall weights, dumb bells and rowing machines. On heatless days you can thus fool your landlord and yourself at the same time. Place a large Japanese umbrella up against the ceiltng In the library where the radiator upstairs has leaked through.

DEBS ARRESTED AS FOE WAS INDICTED FOR THINGS H I SAID IN HIS CANTON SPEECH JUNE 1fl LA8T. $1,000 DEFENSE FUND RAISED Arrest Made On a Secret Indictment Returned By the Federal Grand Jury Saturday. : ^ " ^ > * * . ..^-- A-' ••/•'is,- %\ Cleveland—Eugene V. Deba, four times Socialist candidate for the presidency of the United States, was arrested here Sunday by United States Marshal Charles W. Lapp and Deputy Marshal Charles C. Boeohme, as he was about to deliver a Socialist address. The arrest was made on a federal warrant in connection with Debs' speech at the Socialist state convention in Canton, 0., June 16 last. The arrest was made on a secret indictment returned Saturday by the federal grand jury. It is understood the indictment contains 10 specific counts under section three of the espionage act, as amended by the passage of the sedition bill, May 16, last, which provides a penalty of 20 years In the penitentiary, and a fine of $10,000 and costs for each violation. Mr. Debs refused to make any statement regarding his arrest. Following the announcement of Mr. Debs' arrest a defense fund of more than $1,000 was raised by popular subscription before the meeting ended. "Mr. Debs was indicted not as a Socialist, but as a violator of the law of the United States because of things he said in his Canton speech," said Assistant Attorney Breitenstein. "The federal jury had presented to it for consideration during the past two weeks many other cases under the espionage act," said Assistant Attorney Kavanaugh. "Among the persona charged are not only Socialists, but many who are members of other political party affiliations. The government is not prosecuting these men because they are Socialists." COAL ALLOTTED NOT ENOUGH Prudden Urges Householders to Use Bituminous and Wood. Detroit.—Considerably less than one.half the state's domestic coal requirements will be taken care of by the 1,201,000 tons of anthracite allot, ted to Michigan, Fuel Administrator Prudden made known in a statement issued Sunday, In which he urged upon household consumers the necessity "of their using bituminous coal and wood wherever possible in order that others whose baseburner or hot air furnace equipment must have anthracite-will not be without fuel. Distribution of coal throughout the state, Mr. Prudden said, will be along lines fashioned after the United States fuel administration's zoning of the whole country. The effect of this will be to send the bulk of the anthracite where it is most needed. '• "Saginaw and Bay counties, for instance," he explained, "will be required to use their own supply of toft coal and wood to-a large extent, re. ceiving only such quantity of hard coal as Is actually needed for base burners and hot air furnaces. "Large cities, such as Detroit* Grand Rapids and Flint, will get a greater quantity of anthracite per capita than smaller places, because) of the preponderance of base burners In city homes/' SENATE PASSES ARMY BILL Numerous Amendments Makes It Necessary Per It to Go to Conference, Washington — Carrying appropriations of mora than $12,000,000,000 for the prosecution of the war and eon* ferring authority on the president to raise as large an army as may be necessary to insure final victory, the senate Jane 29 passed the army appropriation bill.

I" , K< *,y. f > .J-V'" A Third of a Century of Service A n Announcement to Our Good Friends—The People of Finckney and Surrounding Country. A third of a century ago the Firm of W. J. Dancer and Co. was founded. At the bottom of all the plans which were laid at that time were certain ideals of business^ administration, a certain sound faith in the principle that honesty was the best and only foundation upon which to buiid a successful retail business. Thirty-three years ago the average merchant was like a horse trader he got what he could sell We believed then as surely as we believe now, that there should be one price for all—and that a fair profit only should be expected on what we had to sell. Coupled and interwoven with this principle, we had in our hearts an unbounded faith in the future of Stockbridge and its people. We believed in them. We were convinced that they were highminded-intellegent people—who would know and appreciate the value of honest merchan disc, fair prices and good service. Upon this basis we decided to cast our lot with Stockbridge—to rise or fall with it and its people^" but to give up not one iota of the principles with which we started. T h a i our confidence has not been misplaced— and that our ideas of honest methods were ri^ht has been proven time and time again, For a business does not, a store does not grow and expand fear after year on wrong principles. However, we realize that without YOUR cooperation— without your hearty approval and si>pport-^ we could not have grown and prospered as we have. To you and your.faith in us is due the greater measure of our success. Realizing these things, in an effort to show our appreciation, we are going to celebrate this anniversary of ouropening. You, our good friends, are surely entitled to share in a celebration of this kind.

Share) (Miss Lena Kimtnel) of Three Rivers, Newberry and Preparedness . $ Truman H, Newberry is no new convert to Preparedness. He has preached it for twenty years,—he has practised what he preached. He stood for preparedness away back in 1896, when he helped organize the Michigan Naval Brigade. Aa Assistant Secretary of the Navy under Roosevelt he urged preparedness. Speaking in New Orleans In 1907, he said: "You can put It in the biggest type you have that we must have a bigger navy, and I hope such enlargement will come soon. It is for you people here to use your influence for more appropriations for the building of battleships and cruisers. There it no doubt that we shall need them and the sooner they are built the better." While Secretary of the Navy, Newberry contended for a Merchant Marine at a preparedness measure. "A latge number of merchant vessels will be required in the event cf a aerious war," he pleaded. He not only talked preparedness, but hs prepared. He put the Navy on a sure foundation. On our entry Into the war ft was the one branch of our national defense which wee prepared. He backs up his belief in preparedness by being in the service himself. His sons are in the service. His whole family is serving. i Newberry and Preparedness mean the same thing. Truman H. Newberry is prepared to give Michigan and the nation wonderfully able service in the United States Senate.
