Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Wednesday June 26,1918 No. 26 THE FOURTH IN PINCKNEY vr.i Knitting: Mrs. Emma Sykes and Mrs Mrs. Lizzie Curlett. Home Knitting: Miss Nellie Gardner Surgical dressings: Mrs. Villa Rich ards. Each committee, kindly take notice The program committee is in com IBunication with the authorities at g#lfridge Field and if any airplane is in this part of Michigan on the Fourth it will be ordered to Pinckney to give an exhibition. An airship with the new Liberty motor would be an attraction and the chances are bright for Pinckney to get one. Rev. S. A. Wittliff of Brighton baa appeared before audiences in Pinckney on different occasions and owing'to- his popularity here as a public speaker, the committee in charge decided to invite him to deliver the address at the Flag dedication. Fx. WittlifTs time is largely taken up by the Michigan Red Cross, and he is rated as one of the best Red Crose speakers working in this State. If all so called German-Americans —or "American-Americans", for that matter—were as intensely loyal to the Stars and Stripes and the nation they represent Germany would soon sue for peace. Dr. C. W. Pullinger, Captain of the 4Gti Canadian Battallion will be the afternoon speaker. ' j He saw active service in the trenches at the time the Canadian Army—many officers and men being American volunteers— made world wide fame for themselves as fighters in that terrible drive early in the war as they stood like a Btone wall before the Huns, although greatly outnumbered and their ranks more than decimated. During those bloody" days and sleepless nights Dr. Pullinger, who was chaplain of the battallion, forgot he was a parson and non-combatant, using a sworJ on the advancing Germans wjth bis brother officers. As the battle progressed the officers of the Battalion were nearly "all killed or wounded, and the fighting parson became the leader in the desperate cha:ge "over the top'' after the energy, who afterward retreated. After this battle his comrades asked that he might be their leader and he received his commission as their military captain. A Livingston county mar, who heard Captain Pullinger speak before a largv audience in Grand Ripids recently, said he was an exceptionally fine orator, holding the audience-now weeping, now laugling—under the spell of his Gather your forces together, give a "long pull, a strong pull and a pall together for victory." Mary L. Fick, Secretary. LOYALTY THE KEYNOTE Of the Graduating Exercises YARN FOR OUR PUTNAM BOYS "Stand back of the Putnam Boys and buy a tag the Fourth.

S A. Wittliff of Brighton. Fr. Wittliff is a fine pulpit orator and has the ahitity to hold the attention of the audience. In his discourse he emphasized that the nation should always come first with all good citizens and admonished his hearers that during these trying times self must be forgotten if national success is attained. Those who heard the address are not backward in congratulating themselves in having another opportunity to hear Rev. Wittliff at the flag dedication exercises on the Fourth.

C1QRAND. (Authority on American Heraldry.) V THE question were asked, What Is the greatest sentence tn our national existence? the reply would likely be the one taken from the Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths self-evident, that all men are created equal." That was the essence of an Ideal or a .principle, but to give that statement living truth the following words stand out as the power of the nation : "Saturday, June 14, 1777. Page 243. Records of the day: "Resolved—That the Flag of the Halted states be 18 stripes alternate red and white, that the Union be 13 stars white in a blue field representing a new constellation." Famous Committee in Charge. The committee having the flag problem In charge consisted of George Washington, Robert Morris and George Boas. It Is evident that the resolution, as originally penned by Charles Thornton, secretary of the continental congress, was not adopted, but that corrections were made. I have been unable to decipher just what the original reading matter Was. Curiously, Secretary Thomson did not cross a single one of the IT. * W which occur In the sentence. The "i's" are all dotted, and a single comma is the extent of the punctuation of this great word picture—oar flag. Strangely enough, he did not have the modern idea well to hand when he wrote the words United States, without capitalising the name, while Flag and Union are made Important Items In the line. The old German long dence, and the numerals IS are figures and not spelled out. Thus brief and without comment is the history we have of the edict which gave us "Old Glory." Honor for Fort Stanwlx. The first flag constructed as a military emblem, and carrying these hera> tftc ideals, appears to have been constructed In a rather unique manner. The first flag which was patterned after the resolution was adopted, and which saw actual fighting, must be credited to Fort Stanwlr of New York. ffews of those days traveled slowly, aadJirbile the resolution was adopted %jf 1&9 continental congress on Jane i i , 1777» the Improvised flag was not maM until the latter part of July, and . # * < * • second day of August, 1777, It ::; r stestsd orer the fort (Stanwlx, later W 9*tt *C*«rf«r).

Well, when the news came that the continental congress had finally decided upon a banner the fort was without a proper flag, and it was too late to depend upon congress to get one fashioned. Problem for the Garrison. Immediately the Ingenuity of the colonial or continental garrison arranged to Improvise a standard as decreed by congress. Henry B. Dawson of New York has left n description which had fallen Into his hands in 1807, and It came from one of the soldiers of that garrison, and though more than a century has elapsed the narrative Is ever new and deserves historic recognition. Through relatives of Mr. Dawson I am permitted to plve the exact version of how this earlier military flag of stars and stripes was constructed. The soldier who was among the flag producers was Col. Marlnus Willett, and his story Is in part supported by other members of the fort, as well as by a recently disclosed letter In England, in which the British soldier refers to a banner: "Over the Fort Stanwlx built by us In 1758 and named after the brave General Stanwlx, they (the continentals) hoisted a flag of white and red stripes and on a canton of azure there were white stars." How the Flag Was Made. "But what of its unique construction?" you ask. Well, the garrison decided to form the national standard, but being away from stores, clothshops or homes, and being hemmed in by the British, the task arose, how shall this emblem of unity be constructed? Here is where Colonel Wlllett's diary and narrative come to the surface with the facts, and read as follows: "The fort (Fort Stanwlx) had never been supplied with a flag. The necessity of having one had, upon the arrival of the enemy, taxed the invention of the garrison a little; and a decent one was soon contrived. The white stripes were cut out of an ammunition shirt; the blue out of the camlet cloak taken from the enemy at Peekskill, while the red stripes were made of different pieces of stuff procured from one and another of the garrison." Another witness of the garrison states In his letter home that "the blue ground for the stars was composed of a cloth cloak belonging to Capt Abraham Swsrtwout of Dutchess county." The captain, hence, wora the camlet cloak taken from the British at Peekskin battle. Victory Crowns Its Appearance. The first battle under the Improvised American flag was a great victory, and Col. Marlnus Willett was among those who In a hand-to-hand fight captured five of the English colors and brought them proudly to the fort These Brit* lah flags, according to his diary, were ran up on the fort flagpole, but the Impromptu American banner floated from the highest potntof the pole. rsiah. There were thousands in this Fort Stanwlx battle, and upward of 750 Americans held the fort against the daring British general, St. Leger, and his hosts of Indian allies. Jersey Man Is Mistaken. About 30 years ago a Mr. Haven read a paper before the New Jersey State Historical society, und In I4t he was reported as having read: "From additional reports In circulation here, the first time that our national flng was used after the enactment concerning It by congress was by Gen. George Washington, in the hurried and critical stand made by him on the banks of the Assanplnk, when he repulsed Cornwallls, January 2. 1777. As this conflict was the turning point, In connection with what succeeded at Princeton, of the struggle for Independence, does not this signal baptism of the Stars and Stripes, with the hope and confidence regenerated by It, seem providential?" This sounds good and reads equally well—but the cold, stubborn facts declare it absolutely wrong. The repelling of the British was, as he states, January 2, 1777; but our flag was not created or adopted by the continental congress until June 14, 1777,- five months later. Notable Honor for Lafayette. Of course, If you should object to consider the honors of the first victory under the American flag as belonging to the Improvised one at Fort Stanwlx, and should wish to know where the earliest military battle occurred under the governmental colors, not improvised or hastily made from Irregular mosaics, why that honor or glory would go to the Frenchman, General Lafayette, who commanded an American troop at the buttle of Birmingham meetinghouse, September 11, 1777. Upon that day 18.000 British and 11,- 000 Americans clashed, and brave, gallant Lafayette and his Immediate command were fighting under the national colors, the Stars and Stripes. New Flag Well Advertised. The Americans were slow to provide 'their regiments with the actual and exact flag as commanded by congress. Many troops retained their favorite banners, and It may not be generally known that the continental congress paid for newspaper advertising in which the colonists and the troops were notified of the new and adopted flag. So tardy were some of the^e regiments In producing the exact heraldic banner that even as late as the surrender of the British at Yorktown. the close of the revolution, there were standards over the American troops which contained seven white and six red stripes, while other banners had the 13 stars In various positions on the blue field, though the accepted form was to have the stars forming a circle. The American flag has undergone a number of slight changes, but In principle it has ever remained as the forefathers heraldically built It on June 14, 1777. Venerable American Flags. There are two American flags in existence which were carried in the Revolutionary war. One of them, preserved in the rooms of the Masonicgrand lodge at Raleigh. N. C, was carried by North Carolina troops at the battle of Guilford Courthouse in 1781, and the other, now in the statehouse at Annapolis, Md., was carried by Maryland troops in the battle of the Cowpens, January 17, 1781. The flag which Inspired "The Star-Spangled Banner" did not figure In the Revolutionary war, but in the War of 1812. It Is in the national museum at Washington Flag Ranks Above AM. The flag ranks the president of the United States, who under the Constitution i s the commander in chief of the armies and the navies. The sentinel whose duty it Is to guard, the flag on the color line maintained outside the military camp is for the time of duty the superior officer of the president The color-line private of the guard must order the president, if he proves forgetful, to uncover when he crosses the line where the flag, wrapped about it* staff, rests on Its two stacks of bayoneted rifles.

Make the lemonade in ^ th«r usual way, add a beaten egg and serye, well iced. not forgetting a pinch of salt to remove the flat taste of the egg. Koumis.—Koumls is another food drink which Is most wholesome. It was originally made in Arabia from mare's milk, but is commonly made by using cow's milk. It is most easily digested ; often a weak stomach which cannot digest any other food will retain koumls. To make 4t heat a quart of milk to 70 degrees or lukewarm add a third of a yeast cake dissolved in one and a half tablespooufuls of water, add two tablespoonfuls of sugar; place in bottles after mixing well and tie down the corks. Let stand ten hours in a warm place for the yeast to grow and cause fermentation, then place on ice to check it. Mint Cup.—Express the juice from five lemons, uslc? a glass squeezer; add the leaves from a dozen stalks of mint, one and a half cupfuls of sugnr or honey and a half cupful of water; cover and let stand 30 minutes. Just before serving pour into a pitcher over a large piece of ice nnd add three b/>t- 3es of chilled ginger ale. Put a sprig *f mint in each glass when serving. Pineapple Lemonade.—Make a syrup by boiling together one cupful of sugur and two cupfuls of water for ten min " utes; add the juice of throe lemons and a can of grated pineapple; cool strain and ndd a quart of ice water. Raspberry shrub makes a most delicious drink; add a tablespoonful of the shrub to a glass of ice water to serve it. Fruit beverages nre cooling nnd slightly stimulating; as there is no limit to the variety of combinations one may always have something different. Iced Tea.—To make tea that is palatable, prepare the tea, scalding the pot and pouring fresh boiled water over the leaves, using n tablespoonful to n pint of water; strain over Ice and chill. Serve as soon as cold enough with a bit of lemon, a cube of sugar nnd a sprig of mint. More women patients, three to one, are sent to hospitals than men, !n times of peace. This comes, in large degree, from the fact that women live indoors, and breathe dust-laden second- hand atmosphere. GOOD THINGS FOR EVERYBODY.

Spalding and lieutenant in the American avtatlon service, played the viollu at a tea given recently by Signora Diaz, wife of the Italian ambassador in Rome. He made an extraordinary success, causing an enthusiastic demonstration to Aeruilco by a distinguished audience. When asked why he risked his exceptional talent In the nviatlon service, where on accident might easily Incapacitate him for life, he replied: "Simply because it is not playing the violin that will win the war."—New York Times. Diamond Buyers In War Time. The war has increased the buying of diamonds and other precious stones more than 50 per cent over any year during the past 60, It was announced at the annual convention of, the Illinois Jewelers' association. Precious stones were bought during the last year by more persons than formerly bought high-grade wntches. It was) stated, and the sale of brooches, bracelets and pins made an unprecedented spurt. According to Col. John L. Shepherd of New York there 1s to be a bigger rush to invest in diamonds and precious stones during the next year. Place Carbons Horizontally. A group of European electricians decided, after experimenting, that better results were obtained by placing the carbons in arc lamps horizontally and one slightly above the other.

They are agitating for t h e standardization of women's dress a s a w a r m e a s u r e of equal importance with the conservation of food. Rumors of frocks all alike, cut by t h e millions and placed on the m a r k e t for t h e colonel's lady and Judy O'Grady, so t h a t they may become sisters in their a t t i r e -. a s well a s under their skins, comm e n t s a fashion authority, reach u s from time to time through t h e sections of the dajly press devoted to women's affairs. Sometimes the a r g u m e n t s a r e quite learned. T h e French revolutiou is freely quoted as being t h e event, finally responsible for t h e standardization of men's dress. T o be sure, o n e of t h e first things t h a t Napoleon did, w h e n h e reached t h e position of being able to set t h e fashion, w a s to m a k e men's clothes as gorgeous a n d as complex a s they had been before t h e abolition *t>f t h e Bourbons. But the effect did n o t last long. "Sans culottism" h a d t a k e n too firm a hold on ine_n's affections. They soon went back to t h a t dignified but ugly garment, the long trousers, and they have remained faithful to them ever slnCe. Stui tents of the history of costume cite this a s a n example, and teil u s — some hopefully, some regretfully—that the present Armageddon will do t h e s a m e for women. But then come others— students, too, but s t u d e n t s of t h e h u m a n n a t u r e back of the clothes, r a t h e r than of the clothes themselves —and they give a n emphatic No I to t h e whole proposition. " T h e standardization of women's dress h a s gone as far now a s it ever will," is their contention. Easy to Get Into. Very busy women—and what other kind is there at present—may make insistent demands for clothes t h a t a r e easy to get into. "Easily adjusted, m a d a m , " will sell more gowns this season than the catch phrase, "This is what they're wearing." Coats and suits a n d one-piece dresses will maintain their popularity; " s h i r t w a i s t s " t h a t launder like a man's shirt will refuse to be ousted. But there will a l w a y s be more variety in women's dress than there is In men's, and women as a whole will continue to be more preoccupied with the question ot wherewithal they shall be clothed. One reason for the continuance of variety in feminine attire, in spite of w a r s and rumors of wars, is t h e fact t h a t women as a whqle are rested by a change of occupation. So t h e business woman, on h e r return from her office, is cralte willing t o sit down to stocking darning, so that she m a y continue to wear ,*hfr> thread-bare hose in which her heart--delights; she sits u p late to run iribbons in her lingerie; she will wash out and iron h e r - o w n n e c k w e a r in order that s h e m a y m a k e her serge suit or frock more becoming by softening It with frills at t h e throat. Did anyone ever h e a r of t h e m a n w h o washed his own collars? H e will polish h i s own shoes—tradition says t h a t he will perform this operation more willingly a n d oftener t h a n a n y w o m a n ; he will brush h i s clothes—but t h e r e his sartorial measures of p r e p a r e d n e s s end. So h e is naturally restricted to a form of garment which is easily k e p t in order. Man's Insensibility to T e m p e r a t u r e . Another reason is t h e average m a n ' s absolute insensibility t o c h a n g e s In temperature—at l e a s t from t h e wornan^ s point of view. He, declares* t h a t there is a vast difference In w a r m t h between h i s winter-weight blue serge a n d h i s summer weight, b u t n o woman can see It. To h e r he is a myst e r y a s he goes to h i s office on a boiling August morning, clad completely in wool, with a high-starched collar round his neck a n d thick leather shoea on his feet. J u s t a s great a mystery is she to him in winter, with h e r georgette sleeves, thin stockings a n d paper-soled pumps. Probably it is six of one and half a dozen of the othur. But t h e r e is a n army of women w h o go clothed In cotton a n d linen from May to O c t o b e r ; w h o will pay extravagant laundry bills if they live in t h e c i t y ; who will travel with an electric Iron in their t r u n k s when they visit the c o u n t r y ; who will pay almost a n y price in time, money and convenience for t h e privilege of wearing thiu clothes throughout t h e dog days. T h e r e is a great army of them w h o still, in spite of w a r work, make their own s u m m e r frocks, by the aid of u tissue p a p e r p a t t e r n . There is another even larger group who solve s i x months' d r e s s m a k i n g problems by buying ginghams a n d muslins and hiring sthe services of a dressmaker "by t h e day." Are all these women going to b e bound down by standardization? Of course not. Summer Fabrics Fascinating. Besides t h e feminine failing of buying a thing, not because one needs it, but because it is cheap, to which t h e m a k e r s of s u m m e r fabrics h a v e always catered, t h e r e is t h e eternal fascination of t h e m a t e r i a l s themselves— their s y m p a t h e t i c surfaces, their freshness, their delicious color. This year we a r e more discreet., Brilliant tones a r e still to be seen, but the general feeling is one of moder-: ation in all things, even in color. Fabrics, too, a r e discreet. Very popular a r e net, foulard and organdie. 'One may be gay in foulard, It is true, but one is m o r e a p t to be nnvy blue or black or g r a y in it. Organdie is subtle in its color range, not striking, and t h e clothes t h a t we construct of it have an a t m o s p h e r e of "old-tlmeyness" far removed from anything so smashing, dashing, as t h e Russian ballet color combinations. In less expensive fabrics, which a r e among the few things t h a t r e m a i n within t h e reach of the woman of modest budget, there a r e the printed voiles, the evep-popular ginghams, a n d t h e season's revival, calico, or percale, to give it t h e n a m e under which it is sold in most places.

Here is n good old story that somebody has taken the trouble to dress up in khaki—or hospital blue: Sister"Anne was going the round of the ward in the big hospital for wounded soldiers, examining the medical charts over each bed and taking temperatures. Reaching the side of one hero, in whose mouth she had left the thermometer a minute ago, she was horrified to find, withdrawing it, that it registered 120, although only an hour ago the patient was normal. Swiftly she summoned the house doctor, but he, on arriving, was seriously perturbed, as there was nothing in the patient's condition to account for the sudden rise. "LooK- here," he said to the soldier, "have you dropped this thermometer or been fooling with it?" "No, sir. Only been stirring my tee with it!" Upset Her Balance. Like a rose petal on a zephyr she blew into the hosier's. "I'm looking for something nice for a young rann," she said shyly to the gallnnt behind the counter. "Why don't you look in the mirror?" nsked the hosier, and she was so flustered that he managed to get an order for four dozen raincoats that she didn't want, before she knew whfU she was doing.

One of the Motor Trucks Used to Gather Eggs and Transport Them to Market, MOTOR TRUCK TO TRANSPORT EGGS Producers Find Experiment So Satisfactory That They Will Extend Service. QUICK DELIVERY IS RESULT Fruits, Vegetables and Other Products in Season to Be Carried—Mer» chandise Is Hauled by Trucks on Return Trips. La*t year producers of eggs near Vlneland and Millvllle, New Jersey, had difficulties getting their eggs to dealers In New York City. This year, however, they travel direct by motor truck to the dealers' doors and arrive in less time and with less loss from breakage than in other seasons. This community of producers has found the results of their experiment of shipping eggs by motor truck so successful that-they are planning to extend their efforts to cover fruits and vegetables, poultry, and other products In season. — Eggs by Motor Truck- Following a season in which trans* portation troubles made shipments to New York City unsatisfactory the farmers sought assistance from the bureau of markets of the United jStates department, of agriculture, and specialists on motor-truck marketing made a survey of the- situation. This was followed by a group of producers agreeing to ship their eggs by motor track and to bring the cases to designated places along the route the truck was to cover. A large commercial motortruck company, operating a fleet of trucks between New York and Philadelphia, was Interested and agreed to make a detour on their trips to New York, to which.dty their trucks had often traveled without being'loaded, to take in Vineland and MtllvlUe. - Local farmers and merchants in these two towns agreed to give their hauling business from Philadelphia to the track company and thus insure a full load for the tracks alt the way from Philadelphia to New York. Capacity of Trucks. The trucks have a capacity of about' fire tons, and can take 200 crstes of eggs. On the first trip, only 160 cases ware ready at the roadside and the balance of the load was made up of crated glass from Vlneland and MiOrtUe, This first load want the 140 miles in the record time of 15 hoars with not an egg broken oa the way.

Otf the retina trip the track sensed Nsw geek osraet to City are offering a premium of from one-haif to one nnd one-hulf cents a dozen for engs shipped by motor truck from Vlneland and Millvllle, because the eggs arrive tn better condition nnd in quicker time than when shipped by rail. This premium alone more than covers the difference la cost of shipping by motor truck and by rail, and, In addition to the time saved, the motor-truck service is more dependable nnd gives better delivery. The eggs, as yet, are not pooled, but consist of Individual shipments to a number "f dealers. \ TRAIN FOR HARD WORK 11 4 * * » > ta New faik Is there a physical training class Jn your town? If not, this Is a good time to start one—a physical training class to harden the soft muscles of town and city men, so they can go to farms and do effective work during emergency needs for farm labor In their counties nnd communities. Kansas City started a "loyal physical fitness class" some weeks before the time for the wheat harvest. The idea spread all over the state. In many towns and cities similar classes were organized, and men made themselves fit for the hard work they were to undertake in the fields as volunteer harvest workers. The Kansas wheat crop couldn't have been harvested If thousands of patriotic men from the towns and cities had not volunteered to save this crop that will help feed the .fighters at the.front. And a great many of these men couldn't have work- „ ed as effectively, and some of J them would have been forced to drop out altogether, if they had not been prepared for the physical strain by preliminary training. Uncle Sam needs the help of every loyal American citizen. Either work or fight! You can't do your best work, either at your present Job or at any other job, ar in the fields temporarily as a farm volunteer, unless yon J are physically fit S A few weeks' work fn a phytt- * cal training class will "harden" yon surprisingly.

PINCKNEY DISPATCH •\*i <W OVER THE TOP 2* By An American Arthur Guy E Soldier Who Went Machine Gunner, Serving Copyrlfffct 1917, by Arthur Ouy Empey EMPEY WRITES AND STAGES A PLAY BEHIND THE LINES WITH GREAT SUCCESS. Synopsis,—Fired by the sinking of the Lusitanla, with the loss of American lives, Arthur Guy Eiupey, 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 fixe 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. After exciting experiences on listening post detail and observation post duty, Empey is picked for patrol duty in No Man's Land and has narrow escape from death. CHAPTER XVI!I—Continued. —14— While they are talking; an old Jew lamed Ikey Cohensfein comes along, and Abe engages him for cashier. After engaging Ikey they meet an old Southern negro called Sambo, and upon the suggestion of Ikey he is en* gaged as porter. Then the three of them, arm in arm, leave to J a k e pos-~ -session of this wonderful palace which Abe has Just paid $6,000 for. (Curtain.) In the second a<:t the curtain rises on the interior of the Diamond Palace saloon, and the audience gets its first thock. The saloon looks like a pigpen, two tramps lying drunk on the floor, and the bartender in a dirty shirt with his sleeves rolled up, asleep . with his head on the bar. Enter Abe, Sambo and Ikey, and the fun commences. One of the characters In the second act was named Broadway Kate, and I had an awful job to break in one of the Tommies to act and talk" like a woman. Another character was Alkali Ike, an Arizona cowboy, who just before the close of the play comes Into the saloon and wrecks It with his revolver. We had eleven three-hour rehearsals before I thought It advisable to present the sketch to the public. The whole brigade wag crazy to witness the first performance. This performance was scheduled for Friday night and everyone was full of anticipation ; when bang! orders came through that the brigade would move at two that afternoon. Cursing and blinding was the order of things upon the receipt of this order, bat we moved. That night we reached the little village of S and again went~lnto rest billets. We were to be there two weeks. Our company immediately got busy and scoured the village for a suitable place In which to present our production. Then we received another shock. A rival company was already established In the village.. They called themselves T h e Bow Bells," and put on a sketch entitled, "Blighty— What Hopes?" They were the dlvisional concert party. We hoped they all would be soon in Blighty to give us a chance. This company charged an admission of a . franc per head, and that night our company went en masse to see their performance. It really was good. I had a sinking sensation when I thought of running my sketch in opposition to i t In one of their scenes they had a soubrette called Flossie. The soldier that took this part was clever and ! made a fine-appearing and chic girl. We immediately fell In love with her until two days after, while we were on a march, we passed Flossie with "her" sleeves rolled up and the sweat pouring from "her" face unloading shells from a motor lorry. As our section passed her I yelled out: "Hello, Flossie; Blighty—What Hopes?" Her reply made our love die out instantly. "Ah, go to h—11" This brought quite a laugh from the marching column directed at me, and I instantly made up my mind that our sketch should Immediately run in opposition to "Blighty—What Hopes?" When we returned to our billet from the march, Curley Wallace, my theatrical partner, came running over to me and said he had found a swanky place in which to produce our show. After taking off my equipment, and followed by the rest of the section, I went over to the building he had picked out. It was a monstrous barn with a platform at one end which would make an ideal stage. The section got right on the job, and before night had that place rigged out In apple-pie order. The next day was Sunday and after church parade we put all our time on a dress rehearsal, and It went fine. I made four or five large signs announcing that our company would open up that evening at the King George the Fifth theater, on the corner of Ammo street and Sandbag terrace. General admission was one-half franc. First ten rows In orchestra one franc, and boxes two francs. By" this time our printed programs had returned from London, and I further announced that on the night of the first performance a program would be given free of -charge to men holding tickets costing a franc or over. We bad an orchestra of seven men and seven different instruments. This orchestra .was excellent while they were not playing. The performance was scheduled to start at 8 p. m. At 5:15 there was a mob in front of our one entrance and it looked like a big night. We had two boxes each accommodating four people, aod these we Immediately sold o u t Then a brilliant idea came to Ikey Cohenstein. Why not use the rafters overhead, call them boxes, and charge two francs for a seat on them? The only difficulty was how were the men to reach these boxes, but to Ikey this was a mere detail. He got long ropes and tied one end around each rafter and then tied a lot of knots in the ropes. These ropes would take the place of stairways.

When the tlcketholders for the boxes got a glimpse of the rafters and were Informed that they had to use the rope stairway, there was a howl of indignation, but we had their money and told them that if they did not like it they could write to the management later and their money would be refunded; but under these conditions they would not be allowed to witness the performance that night. " After a little grousing they accepted the situation with the promise that if the show was rotten they certainly would let us know about it during the performance. Everything went lovely and It was a howllag success, until Alkali Ike appeared on the scene with his revolver loaded with blank cartridges. Behind the bar on a shelf was a long line of bottles. Alkali Ike was s u p p o s e to start on the left of this line and break six of the bottles by firing at them with his revolver. Behind these bottles a piece of painted canvas was supposed to represent the back of the bar, at each shot from Alkali's pistol a man behind the scenes would hit one of the bottles with his entrenching tool handle and smash it, to give the impression that Alkali was a good shot? Alkali Ike started in and aimed at the right of the line of bottles instead of the left, and the poor boob behind the scenes started breaking the bottles on the left, and then the boxholders turned loose; but outside of this little fiasco the performance was a huge success, and we decided to run it for a week. New troops were constantly coming through, and for six performances we had the "S. R. O." sign suspended outside. a small cloth bag in which are ninety cardboard bquarea, each with a number printed thereon, from one to ninety. He raps on the table aud cries out: "Eyes down, my lucky lads." All noise ceases and every one la attention. The croupier places his hand In the bag and draws forth a numbered square and immediately calls out the number. The man who own* the card with that particular number on it, covers the square with a match. The one who covers the fifteen numbers on his card first shouts "House." The other backer immediately comes over to him and verifies the card by calling out the aumbers thereon to the man with the bag. As each uumber L» called be picks it out of the ones picked from the bag and says, "Right" If the count Is right he shouts, "House correct, pay the lucky gentleman, and sell him a card for the next school." The "lucky gentleman" generally buys one unless he has a miser trace In his veins. Then another collection Is made, a [ school formed, and they cdrry on with the game. The caller-out has many nicknames for the numbers such as "Kelly's Eye" for one, "Leg's Eleven" for eleven, "Cllckety-cllck" for sixty-six, or "Top of the house" meaning ninety. WOMEN SUFFERERS MAY NEED SWAMP-ROOT Thotuaada upon thousand* of women have kidney aod bladder trouble aod never suupect it. Women's complaints often prove to be nothing elee but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease. If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cauae the other organs to "bewuuie diseased. Pain in the back, headache, loas of ambition, nervoujmehjj, are often tunea symptom* of kidney trouble. Don't delay starting treatment. Dr. Kilmers' Swamp-Root, a physician's prescription, obtained at any drug store, may be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.

(TO BE CONTINUED ) GREAT BIRDS OF OTHER DAYS CHAPTER XIX. On His Own. Of course Tommy cannot always be producing plays under fire but while in rest billets he has numerous ofher ways of amusing himself. He is a great gambler, but never plays for large stakes. Generally, in each company, you wWl find a regular Canfleld. This man banks nearly all the games of chance and Is an undisputed authority on the rules of gambling. Whenever there is an argument among the Tommies about some uncertain point as to whether Houghton is entitled to Watkins' sixpence, the matter is taken to the recognized authority and his decision is final. The two most popular games are "Crown and Anchor" and "House." The paraphernalia used in "Crown and Anchor" consists of a piece of canvas two feet by three feet. This Is divided into six equal squares. In these squares are painted a club, diamond, heart, spade, crown, and an anchor, one device to a square. There are three dice used, each dice marked the same as the canvas. The banker sets up his gambling outfit In the corner of a billet and starts bally-hooing until a crowd of Tommies gathers around; then the game starts. The Tommies place bets on the squares, the crown or nnchor being played the most The banker then rolls his three dice and collects or pays out a s the case may be. If you play the crown and one shows up on the dice, you get even money, If two show trp, you receive two to one, and if three, three to one. If the crown does not appear and you have bet on It, you lose, and, so on. The percentage for the banker*Is large if every square is played, but If the crowd is partial to, say two squares, he has to trust to luck. The banker generally wins. The game of "House" Is very popular also. It takes two men to run i t This game consists of numerous squares of cardboard containing three rows of numbers, five numbers, to s row. The numbers run from one to ninety. Each card has a different combination. The French "estamlnets" tn the tillages ere open from eleven In the morning until one In the afternoon In accordance with army orders. After dinner the Tommies congregate at these places to drink French beer at a penny a glass end play "House," As soon as the estaminet is sufficiently crowded the proprietors of the "HouseH game get busy and, as they term i t "form a school." This consists o r going around and selling cards a t a franc each. If they hare ten in the school, the backers of the game deduct two franca for their trouble and the winner gets eight franca. Then the game starts. Bach buyer places his cart before him on the table, first breaking up mates** lato flftask pieces.. foe of the backers of the game baa Bones Discovered Prove That in th# Miocene Period They Were Truly of Enormous 8ize. In so far as birds are concerned, some of the oldest fossils, in the matter of time (Miocene), which have fallen into the hands of science, are (hose representing the great, flightless, fossil avian giants of Patagonia in South America. Xhey belong to the phororhacidae, It. \V. Shufeldt writes in the Scientific American. Judging from such parts of their fossil bones as huve been found, they were evidently great terrestrial birds of prey. Some of the species were small, but this is raude up for by the others; and in the case of one of them (brontornis) It had a thigh bone considerably larger and longer than thai of an ox. Of oil the remarkable flightless bird! \ of this group, however, was the giant phororhacos. It must have been over eight feet in height, with a skull bigger than that of a full grown horse, and much deeper from above down' ward. We know little or nothing oi these birds or what led to their ex* tlnction. With its great hooked beak and powerful claws of great size, phororhacos must have been a terro* to the animals upon which it preyed. Skulls and some other bones of thli bird have been discovered. The recent meeting of the three kings of the Scandinavian countries, so unexpected and so unusual, was practically n meeting In self-defense, forced on them by rhe precarious situation in which the war has .placed their countries, writes Maurice Francis Egan in the Yule Review. Sweden had prided herself on her militarism copied from the German system. Norway rolled on its const line, its shippin;;, its fislierieH niui the firm belief that It was practically independent of the world, with an assured future made by its own brains and Its natural resources. Denmark, never free from the fear of the German Colossus, believed that England and Russia might save her from extinction at the crucial moment; and the preponderance of American opinion at the various Hague conferences made her hope that the moral force of our opinion might prevent her national extinction. These hopes are gone. Denmark fed England, she exported certain products to Germany, she had made herself the foremost scientific agricultural nation of the world, she was the freest, she was working out the ideals of her national life without desiring to acquire territory or to ln« fringe on the rights of others; hut the moment the United States entered ttta war she and the other Scandiuavlan nations gave up hope of any protection or help, and they huve now determined to band together In an industrial, economic union. The world has deserted them and they have determined to do their best to become independent of the world. Lightning at Sea. When proper precautions are takes ships at sea are in no danger of being destroyed by lightning. Of all the dangers that beset the seaman, lightninj is the only one that he can guarc against with perfect thoroughness Permanent conductors, properly ar ranged, offer the most complete pro tection from the electric fluid. Before this fact was well under stood, lightning was a very frequen cause of damage to shipping. In 180? to 1815 no fewer than seventy vessel of the English navy were entirely crip pled by being struck. It was a no un common thing for vessels to be set oa fire so completely by lightning as to defy extinction, with the result thai those on board who were not killed bj the electric discharge In many instances probably lost their livei through being unable to let down tht boats before the fire reached them.

TREAT raDfiTBOTl Vf Red Cross Workers Refuse to Retreat While There Is Work To Do. AMERICANS IN HERO ROLE Incident of Early Spring Offensive of Huns on the Somme That Should Make Americans Proud of Their Men. Washington.—The story of the part America and Americans played in aiding the British and the French during the early spring offensive of the Germans on the Somme can never be adequately told. The whole picture is too hig to paint on one canvas. It is only by describing the work of individuals and particular groups of workers that some idea of the American effort and its effectiveness in this historic battle can be brought home to the people back home—uud then only in a small way. While' it is perhaps only a very small incident in the history of that great affair, the story of how a small band of American Red Cross workers 'carried on" at one of the evacuation hospitals hack of the British front should make Americans proud. When all but n-fesv of the hospital staff had left with the two hundred or more patients and the Germans were advancing only a few miles away, four American army surgeons, assigned to the American Red Cross for work at this particular hospital, declared their intention of "sticking till h— froze over." And sis lied Cross ambulance and truck drivers, as well as several American Red Cross nurses and aides "stuck" with them. The Americans made their decision not because of sheer bravado, but because the hospital had the opportunity of serving n few wounded soldiers from day to day—and could 6ave their lives. And at this writing these Americans are still there, giving muchneeded medical attention to French and British soldiers who are brought back to this hospital because it is the nearest one back of that point of the line. The big guns of the British and French have been planted in. the rear of it—and then moved farther back. The Boche airmen come over at night The little group of Americans have RAISE GARDEN STUFF Red Cross Establishes Truck Farms in France. Supplies Recreation and Employment to Convalaacenta and Inert**** Food Supply. Paris.—With a view to supplying recreation and employment to convalescents, and incidentally Increasing the food supply, the American Red Cross has established ten truck farina in connection with base hospitals tn France where, under trained supervision, the convalescents are raising vegetables for consumption tn the hospitals. The number of farms will be Increased during the year, the American Red Cross supplying seed, implements and trained supervision, as well SJ money for operating expense*. At one place, where there are three base hospitals together, a farm of 100 acre* Is now under cultivation, though seen the troops, guns and transports go by In streams to points in the rear, but as long as the wounded are brought there, these Americans will .stay. A few hours after American Red Cross headquarters in Paris learned of the big German offensive, it dispatched eight trucks and motor cars to this hospital to aid In the evacuation of the patients. Night and day the Red Cross drivers worked bringing the wounded from the hospital to Paris. When this had been accomplished the Red Cross cars went out into the surrounding country to pick up the wounded, who were attempting to walk to a hospital, and to aid the refugees straggling along the r ad. Besides transporting these two hundred or more wounded men to pmcef> of safety, the Red Cross cars aided 130 refugees to the railheads in three uays. But their work had only begun. Despite the evacuation of the hospital and the consequent order for more of the staff to accompany the patients to points of safety, the wounded kept coining in. Ninety per cent of them were serious cases. Practically all demanded immediate operations. Not simple operations, but major ones, where a steady nerve, delicate touch and sure hand were necessary to give the wounded the best chance for life. Night and day the American surgeons worked. There were a few nurses to assist, but all were tired— completely fagged, mentally and physically. Every one needed rest. But there were the men coming in every few hours, their bodies pitifully torn, and suffering untold agonies. So no one thought of stopping, and even when one did get a few hours off duty there were the big guns only a few hundred feet ffom the hospital. They belched and roared all night. Of course, some of the cases were hopeless and no amount of surgical skill or medical attention could save thera. Here again the American Red Ci-oss men came In for more work. They had to dig the graves and act as pallbearers. One night was especially hard. The doctors were kept busy in the operating room until three o'clock in the morning. The nurses had to have a bit of rest. One nurse only was available. So again the Red Cross drivers were called upon. One became an aid to the operating surgeon, remaining tn service until the last wounded man was rolled finally Into his bed. the average farm is about eight acres. Two of the larger farms are equipped with tractors. For the moat part, however, the work Is hand labor, that the convalescents may profit to the utmost from the outdoor exercise. Owing to climate conditions gardening is an all-the-yenr-round occupation in France and Is carried on In a most intensive way, with every inch of ground under cultivation and rows between rows, as, for instance, cabbages between rows of potatoes. When plants are removed in the morning the ground is worked over during the day and by night the soil is again at work on freshly sown seed. No charge is made the hospitals for the produce, but accounts are kept and It Is expect* ed to show that the farms more than pay for the cost of operation. Through these gardens many French Poilus will have their first taste of the great American delicacy* "corn on the cob." A greater use of a variety of vegetables is made in France than In America and the Red Cross is supplying seed for beans, beet*, cabbage, cauliflower, brussela sprouts, carrots, celery, Swiss chard, chicory, corn, cu- Turna Seepage Into Brine, Which Acta Ab a Prebervative of the Wood. Seattle, Wash*.—C. O. Morrow, president of the Elllottray Shipbuilding company, suffered something of a shock the other morning, but at that It wus nothing to the shock suffered by several prom men t citizens who wer* taking a stroll through the company's big wooden shipbuilding plant. The citizens were shocked when they discovered that 20 tons of rock salt is used in building each of the big wooden ships now under construction in Seattle. Mr. Morrow was shocked because his cullers didn't know that rock salt Is u shipbuilding material. Everybody on the water front knows that, but it seems that there are a lot of prominent business men who didn't. There is now a suspicion that only a very few residents east of Railroad avenue know that a wooden ship has to be salted. In showing the prominent citizens about his plant. Mr. Morrow came to the building in which he stores this rock salt. A railroad car was unloading another shipment. "This is where we keep the salt for the ahips," said Morrow. "Haw, haw!" said one caller, who Is something of a humorist. "I suppose you're afraid the ships will get too fresh?" "That's the exact truth," said Mr. Morrow. Put the citizens wouldn't believe him until they had examined the salt. Some of them tasted it. The storehouses contained 120 tons. Mr. Morrow explained that the salt is [toured between the frames of a wooden ship above the water line and is tamped down solid. Then if any water seeps into the spaces between the frames it is turned to brine and does not damage the wood. Instead, it acts as a preservative. FIRST CONSOLATION r r #-* * - ^ Photo by A.

H e was fifty-seven, although looking forty. "Old Scotty" had been born in the Northwest and had served In the Northwest Mounted r*)llce. He was a typical cowpuncher and Indian fighter and was a dead shot T i t h the rifle, and took no pains to ftisguise this fact from us. He used to take care of his rifle as If it were a baby. In his spare moments you could nlways see him cleaning it or polishing the stock. Woe betide the man who by mistake happened to get hold of this rifle; he soon found out his error. Scott was as deaf as a mule, *»»id it was amusing at p a r a d e to watch Kxrn ki the manual of arms, slyly glancing out of the corner of his eye at the man next to him to see what the order was. How he passed the doctor was a mystery to u s ; he must have bluffed his way through, because he certainly was Independent. Beside him the Fourth of July looked like Good Friday. He wore at the time a large sombrero, had a Mexican stock saddle over his shoulder, a lariat on his arm, and a "forty-five" hanging from his hip. Dumping this paraphernalia on the floor he went up to the recruiting officer and shouted: "I'm from America, west of the Rockies, and w a n t to join your d d army. Tve got no use for a German and can -shoot some. At Scotland Yard they t u r n e d me d o w n ; said I was deaf and so I am. I don't h a n k e r to ship in with a d d mud-crunching outfit, but the cavalry's full, so I guess this regiment's better than none, so trot out your papers and I'll sign 'em." He told them he was forty and slipped by. I was on recruiting service at the time h e applied for enlistment. It was Old Seotty's great ambition to be a sniper or "body snatcher," as Mr. Atkins calls it. The day that he was detailed as brigade sniper he celebrated his appoiutment by blowing t h e whole platoon to fags. Being a Yank, Old Scotty took a liking to me and used to spin some great y a r n s about the plains, and the whole platoon would drink these in and ask for more. Ananias was a rookie compared with him. T h e ex-plainsman and discipline could not agree, but the officers all liked him, even if he was hard to manage, so when he was detailed as a sniper a sigh of relief went up from t h e officers' mess. Old Scotty had t h e freedom of the brigade. He used to draw two or t h r e e days* rations and disappear with his glass, range finder and rifle, and we would see or hear no- more of him until suddenly he would reappear with a couple of notches added to those already on t h e butt of his rifle. Every time he got a German It meant a n o t h e r notch. He was proud of these notches. But after a few months F a t h e r Rheumatism got him and he was sent to B l i g h t y ; the air in the wake of his s t r e t c h e r was blue with curses. Old Scotty surely could s w e a r ; some of his o u t b u r s t s actually burned you. No doubt, at this writing, he Is "somewhere In Blighty" pussy footing it on c bridge or along the wall of some monition plant with the "G. R," or H O B * Defense corps. CHAPTER X V I I . Out In F r o n t After tea I ieutenant Stores of our •ection CTTr.e Into t h e dugout and Informed me that I was "for" a reconnoltering patrol and would carry six Mills bombs. At 11:30 t h a t night twelve men, our lieutenant and myself went out in front on a patrol in No Man's Land. We cruised around In the dark for about two hours, Just knocking about looking for trouble, on the lookout for Boche working parties to see w h a t they were doing. Around two in the morning we were carefully picking our way about thirty yards in front of the German barbed wire, "when we walked Into a Boche covering party nearly thirty strong. Then the music started, the fiddler rendered his bill, and we paid. Fighting In the dark with a bayonet is not very pleasant. The Germans took It on the run, but our officer was no novice at the game and didn't follow them, He gave the order "down on the ground, hug It close." Just In time, too, because a volley skimmed over our heads. Then In low tones we were told to separate and crawl back to our trenches, each man on his own. We could see the flashes of their rifles in the darkness, but the bullets were going over our heads. We lost three men killed and one wounded In the arm. If it hadn't been for our officer's quick thinking the whole patrol would have probably been wiped out. After about twenty minutes' wait we went out again and discovered t h a t the Germans had a wiring party working on their barbed wire. We returned to our trenches unobserved with the information and our machine guns immediately got busy. The next night four men were sent o u t ' t o go over and examine the German barbed wire and see If they had cut lanes through i t ; If so, this presaged an early morning attack on our trenches. Of course I had to be one of the four selected for the Job. It was Just like sending a fellow to the undertaker's to order his own coffin. At ten o'clock we started out, armed with three bombs, a bayonet and revolver. After getting Into No Man's Land we separated. Crawling four or five feet at a time, ducking star shells, with strays cracking overhead, I reached their wire. I scouted along this inch by Inch, scarcely breathing. I could hear them talking In their trench, my heart was pounding against my ribs. One false move or the least noise from me meant discovery and almost certain death. After covering my sector I quietly crawled back. I had gotten about half way when I noticed that my revolver was missing. It was pitch dark. I turned about to see If I could find I t ; It couldn't be far away, because about three or four minutes previously I had felt the butt In the holster. I crawled around iu circles and at last found it, then started on my way back to our trenches, as I t h o u g h t Pretty soon I reached barbed wire, and was just going to give the password when something told me not to. I put out my hand and touched one of the barbed wire stakes. It w a s iron. The British a r e of wood, while t h e German are iron. My heart stopped beating; by mistake I had crawled back to the German lines. I turned slowly about and my tunic caught on the wire and made a loud ripping noise. A sharp challenge rang o u t I sprang to my feet, ducking low, and ran madly back toward our lines. T h e Germans started firing. The bullets were biting all around me, when b a a £ l I ran smash into uur wire, and a sharp chullenge, " 'Ale, who comes t h e r e ? " rang out. 1 gaaped out the pusBword, and, groping my way through the lane In the wire, tearing my h a n d s and uniform, I tumbled into our trench and wus sufe, but 1 was a nervous wreck for tin hour, until u drink of rum brought me round. CHAPTER X V I I I . Staged Under Fire. Three days after the incident Just related our company was relieved from the front line and carried. We stayed in reserve billets for about two weeks when we received the welcome news t h a t our division would go back of the line "to rest bllleta." We would remain in these billets for at least two months, this in order to be restored to our full strength by drafts of recruits from Blighty. Everyone was happy and contented at these t i d i n g s ; all you could hear around the billets was whistling and singing. The day after the receipt of t h e order we hiked for five days, making an average of about twelve kilos per day until we arrived at the small town of O' . It took us about three days to get 1 settled, and from then on our cushy time started. We would p a r a d e from I 8:45 in the morning until 12 noon. ; Then except for an occasional billet ! or brigade guard we were on our own. For the first four or five afternoons I spent my time In bringing up to date my neglected correspondence. Tommy loves to be amused, and being a Yank, ' t h e y turned to me for something new in this line. I taught them how to pitch horseshoes, and this game made a great hit for about ten days. Then Tommy turned to America for a new diversion. I was up In the air until a happy thought c a m e to me. Why not write a sketch and break Tommy in as an actor? One evening after "lights out," when you are not supposed to talk, I Imparted my scheme in whispers to the section. They eagerly accepted t h e idea of forming a stock company and could hardly wait until the morning for further details. After parade, the next afternoon I was almost mobbed. Everyone In the section wanted a p a r t in the proposed sketch. When I informed them t h a t It would take at least ten days of hard work to write the plot, they were bit- Adjacent to our billet was an open field. We got busy at one end of it and constructed a stage. We secured the lumber for the stage by demolishing uo old wooden shack In the rear of our billet. The first scene was supposed to represent a street on the Bowery in New York, while the scene of the second act was the interior of the Diamond Palace saloon, also on the Bowery. In the play I took the p a r t of Abe Switch, a farmer, who had come from Pumpkinville Center, Tenn., to make J his first visit to New York. ! In the first scene Abe Switch meets j the proprietor of the Diamond Palac« | saloon, a ramshackle affair which to the owner wus a financial loss. The proprietor's name was Tom Twistem, his bartender being named Flllem Up. i After meeting Abe, Tom and Flllem I Up persuaded him to buy the place, praising it to the skies and telling , wondrous tales of the money taken | over the bar. \ Em difficu cess. about pey stages itiea The it. but next his with play grea installmen under t suct tells > (TO B E CONTINUED.) NO OUTWARD SIGN OF GRIEF Dumb Agony of Coesack Woman, Taking Leave of Mate, More Impressive Than Flow of Tears. It was the square of Yurievets (on the Volga) that one of those tragic fragments which life casts up like driftwood was flung at our feet. A Cossack's leave-taking of his m a t e ; that was all, a million times repeated In a million different izbas, in that one summer. But It was more—symbol of woman's ancient and Inarticulate grief. These shawled and booted women of the North are too burdened with earth's sorrow to w e e p ; they are like dumb cattle in their woe. T h e soldier himself was openly wiping his eyes on his coarse, dusty, brown sleeve, while under both a r m s he clutched absurdly two enormous loaves of black bread. A dingy tittle child in its mother's a r m s fluttered uncomprehending hands In the direction of the s t e a m e r ; but from the Mongol-cheeked, gray-eyed woman there was no sign. She neither touched her man In farewell, nor offered any of those small caresses by which we seek to mitigate our grief. The sullen silence of the North had laid its finger upon her, but her eyes followed her mate with the wild, unreasonable grief of the forest sprung. She stood still scaring, u n a w a r e of the baby in her arms, while the steamer moved slowly out Into the gray mists. Long after <Jusk had closed down, I could see her face straining In the gloaming like a mask of * despair.—Olivo Gllbreath in the Yale Review. A Hidden Gun. terly disappointed. I immediately got busy, made a desk out of biscuit tins in the corner of the billet, and p u t up a sign "Empey & Wallace Theatrical Co." About t w e n t y of the section, upon reading this sign, immediately applied for the position of office boy. I accepted the twenty applicants, and sent them on scouting parties throughout the deserted F r e n c h village. These parties were to search all the attics for discarded civilian clothes, and anything that we could use In the props of our proposed company. About five t h a t night they returned covered with grime and dust, but loaded down with a miscellaneous assortment of ^everything under the sun. They must have thought t h a t I was going to s t a r t a d e p a r t m e n t store, Judging from the different things they brought back from their pillage. After eight d a y s ' constant writing I completed a two-act farce comedy which I called "The Diamond Palace Saloon-" Upon the suggestion of one of the boys in t h e section I sent a proof of the program to a printing house In London. Then I assigned t h e different p a r t s and s t a r t e d rehearsing. David Belasco would h a v e , thrown u p h U h a n d s In despair a t t h e material which I had to use.

When your shoe leather gets dry of hard, you should oil or grease it, says the popular Science Monthly. To do this, first brush off all mud and then wash the shoe In warm water, drying It with a soft cloth. While the shoe is still wet, apply the oil or grease, rubbing it in with a swab of wool, or better still with the palm of the hand. After t r e a t m e n t , the shoes should be left to dry in a warm but not In a hot place. Castor oil li recommended for shoes t h a t a r e to be polished.

DOG A PROBLEM IN ENGLAND Diminishing Food Supply Makes Canine Industry Difficult One From War Standpoint. The British government Is wrestling with the problem of what to do with dogs, In view of th<> rapidly diminishing stocks of food. It seems settled that (lie number of dogs Is to be reduced, There are hardly any dog biscuits left, and no more will be manufactured, as the low grade flour from which they are made Is wanted for the textile trades. Honar Law, Chancellor of the exchequer, refused to include a heavy tax on dog* in bis budget, which he Introduced in the last week nf April. His friends said that such a tax would kill dog-breeding as an Industry, and wou^l work unequally between rich and pooi-. The poor man's dog would be sacrificed, while the pampered Pekinese would flourish, Now the alternative proposal is to prohibit the breeding of dogs during the war except under license. The effect of this would be to allow the perpetuation of pedigreed breeds, which have taken many years and large sums of money to produce, and also useful dogs, like sheep dogs and army dogs. The breeding of mongrels and probably of purely fancy dogs would be prohibited. There will be no interference with people who already have dogs. They will In the future need all their ingenuity to keep pets fed. flfllll Better Off if yon drink INSTANT P0STUM i n s t e a d , of coffee.

PINCKNEY DISPATCH Frill Epoch For Children's Wear New York. -Do not take the fashion ' Does your particular memory go of children's clothes for granted. Do j bark to the days when to dress a boy not fall Into the error of going on the J child as u Highlander was to prove old methods. There Is as much ebb J yourself in the fashion? The swagger and flow in the tide of juvenile cos- of the Gordons was not even omitted turnery as in adult, so watch straws from the clothes for small girls. Scotch and then go with the current, is the bonnets were us common among chiladvlce of a prominent fashion writer. Patterns cannot be handed down from one child's wardrobe to another. What was worn last season is usually out of the picture by the time the new season begins. Things were not always according to this schedule of variation. For centuries children were dressed alike. Glimpse backward over the portraits that hang in our museums to prove this. The torturous clothes that were put on infants three centuries ago will most probably make the modern woman, filled to the eyes as she is with the schedules of hygiene and sanitation, want to scream aloud at the misery that wus inflicted. Bven the wooden sabots and long full skirts of the small Dutch girl, with her white rabbit, stirs In the mother of ttye moment a violent feeling of reform.

BELTS WORN IN OTHER DAYS [ Prevailing Style Dates Baok to Middle « Ages, When 8oldier Wore Belt of Metal Plates. The first belts chronicled in the history of costume design are recalled by those put forth this season, to meet the demand for belts on suits, belts on dresses, belts for separate skirts, belts for sweaters, belts for every kind of wear, a writer states. While the use and beauty of a band to bind the garments at the waist was definitely recognised in preceding ages, the history of belts as articles of wearing apparel is talten by many writers to be- S n in the old days of "merrie Engirt." The soldier of the Middle Age* wore, over his armor, a belt of •mail metal plates linked with rings. These are duplicated today in metal *and leather belts for sweaters. The knights on the jousting field and in the banquet hall wore leather or velvet Delta, richly mounted with carved and eoalneMnset metal. These have served aa models for the bedizened affair* sent forth this spring. dren as they are now among men. lint it is not possible for the war to leave all forms of dressing free from its sinister Influence. It touches the clothes for the young in a gentle way, and the way is not objectionable. Middle youth, as it is expressed at seventeen and younger, finds the avion of France and Italy the most picturesque fields from which to draw a fashion here and there. The oblong cap. the flowing cape with one end draped over the shoulder, are neat and attractive fashions to uBe up for the summer season. An illusive kind of Sam Brown belt is becoming a bit common, but it too finds an abiding place on the coat of a slim little suit. Now, however, that such a big majority of young women find that public opinion permits them to wear breeches, cap and coat for war relief work, they are less apt- to use up the military ideas In the more feminine costumes. In children's clothes there is little of the war that can be adopted, but the plaid sashes from Scotland and Naples and Rome, the short black coats, the multiple pockets, are evidences that war has thrown its shadow downward to the cradle. Adopting Fashions of Age. Between the nursery and middle youth there Is a mass of children that must be dressed well throughout the hot season, and for these the designers have turned out enough fashions to supply the demand of a continent of grownups. They smack of sophistication, some of them, and are taken directly from the clothes of their elders. There is the surplice bodice, the Martha Washington collar which resembles a handkerchief, the patentleather belt, the umbrella skirt, and the short sleeves—which, after all, age has merely pilfered from youth this spring. There are still touches of an older war in the retention of the top hat and cape coat in two colors, which was adopted from the dlrectolre and the consulate, after the designers could not force them upon women with any degree of success last winter. The organdie frocks, which spring like mushrooms from Bar Harbor to the Florida coast this year, are found to be admirable for youth when it is parading itself In the afternoon. Grown-Up Fashions In Miniature. It is a fact that you cannot fail to observe, if you have had occasion to study the recently produced clothes for little £irls that some of the styles borrowed from—or, rather, suggested by —the styles launched this spring for mamma's clothes have done rather better in the Juvenile version than in the adult. Whatever may be the fate of the eton Jacket in grown-up cos* turnery, true it is that not one w'omafl in ten can wear it to advantage. In short, the eton jacket style goes very much better with children than with their mothers or big sisters. Likewise the collar that is always part of the picture with the eton jacket—the round-about collar, that seems to make double chins triple, and hides all the prettiest curves in the grown woman's neck without concealing^any of the ugly ones. It is eminently becoming on a little girl; in fact, one never knows what an entirely adorable spot is to be found at the back of a little girl's neck until one has seen it in this eton collar. "(Copyright, 1918, by the McClure Newgpaper Syndicate.) The loose girdles which slip well over the hips on this spring's suits for American women, are reproductions of the sword belts worn in England centuries ago, even to their fastening at the side. And the stiff leather belts, clasped firmly about the long cloth coats, are just, such as were worn by the grooms, to give a firm hold for their mistresses, mounted postillion fashion on horseback behind them. For Afternoon Occasions. In most trousseaux there are a number of dainty afternoon costumes, for so many affairs take place now by daylight—receptions, war relief bazaars, fetes and the like. Such frocks are of satin, of foulard and satin, in combination, of embroidered chiffon over satin, of silk poplin, of mohair and worsted weave and other lustrous, suppte fabrics. Straight lines are adhered to, but trimmings of embroidery, of filet lace, of beads, of tasseled sashes and so on give plenty of variety and distinction. Some of the new hats are so trimmed thsrt they seem overdone. BIG DEMAND FOR MAHOGANY Name Commercially Is Applied to More Than Fifty Woods—Substitutes Are Numerous, The name "mahogany" is applied commercially to more than 50 different woods, says Popular Science Monthly. Perhaps half the lumber now sold under that name in not true mahogany, for the demand greatly exceeds the supply. The tree is only native to the limited area between southern Florida and northern South America. Nowhere else does it really flourish. But the publicwill have mahogany. Women want It for furniture, business men prefer it for office fixtures, and teak and mahogany are rivals In the affections of shipbuilders. Therefore substitutes flourish. It is not surprising that the real wood is so expensive when it is learned that it takes from one hundred to one hundred and fifty years for a mahogany tree to reach merchantable size. Most of the substitutes bear little more than a general resemblance to the genuine wood, but skillful finishing makes them very much alike. Experts can usually distinguish between them by the aid of an ordinary pocket lens. The efforts of the superficial, however, to judge the wood by its appearance, weight, grain and color often lead them astray. >YE BACKACHE, KIDNEY BLADDER TROUBLES For centuries all over the world GOLD MEDAL Haarlem Oil has afforded relief in thousands upon thousands of cases of lame back, lumbago, Kciatica, rheumatism, gallstones, gravel and all other affections of the kidneys, liver, stomach, bladder and allied organs.

C O L L I N S . /Krom the Committee on public Information, Washington, L>. C.) A truveler recently out of Germany toltl of UD experience in a (Jeruiuu city of 17,000 population. This city had left, for treatment of civilians, one physician and one surgeon, all other medical men having been drawn into the army. "How do you manage to attend all the sick?" asked the traveler of the physician. "I simplify by paying no attention to people over fifty-live years of age," was the doctor's answer. Which is to say, that Germans past this age, being of no military use to the state, and of probably the least economic use, are automatically set aside, and In sickness take their own chances of recovery or death. This story was told to Dr. Alonzo Taylor of the United States food administration and department of agriculture. Doctor Taylor was attached to tlie United States embassy at Berlin during most of 1910. and under Ambassador Gerard had neutral inspections of German prison camps in charge. Herbert Hoover has said that Doctor Taylor's scientific knowledge of dietetics,' and his practical grasp of war food problems, is wider than that any other person he knows. The point of the story above is the different interpretations that may be put upon it. Regarded simply as another Interesting Insight into the de- | privation which is now believed to prevail in Germany, It would be taken by the average American newspaper reader as one more indication that Germany is desperately pressed for every necessity of life and that this internal situation must soon cause her to "crack." But Doctor Taylor looks at it In an entirely different way. Fifty-Five the Dead Line. "That story simply indicates how far the Germans are willing to go to win," he says. "If it is necessary to abandon all that part of the German population above fifty-five years of ige, they Intend to do it. They are willing to take other measures as coldly practical as that to pull through. So far as hunger, suffering, death, und toll are concerned, these cannot safely be regarded as factors in Germany's defeat. She has pulled through before, and will pull through again. The only way to defeat Germany, in my opinion, is by a straight military derision on the western front." Since the second year of the war, accounts of German food shortage have been staple reading in the American and English newspapers. These have been based upon German rationing regulations, articles in the German press dealing with food shortage, Information brought out of Germany by travelers, and other data. - The subject is one that has been carefully studied by trustworthy investigators In great detail. Much of the information obtained has undoubtedly been sound, yet Doctor Taylor regards most published accounts of German hunger as mischievous, if not as deliberate enemy propaganda. Largely through his Investigations the United States food administration has adopted the policy of discountenancing reports of German hunger. "The Germans are unquestionably on very short rations," he adds, "but [ know the German mind, the German state, the German press. The obedience of the German mind to the German state and the latter's control of the German press are so completethat even admitting German food shortage to be as grave as reports Indicate, all published Information on this subject comimT out of Germany is still artfully colored for military ends. That must never be lost sight of. Germany will unquestionably have a hard pinch in food this summer, but she is going to pull through again so far as food is concerned, and all plans based upon that as a factor In the military situation rest on an unsound basis. The Germans are suffering. No matter—in the winning of this war we cannot afford to give any thought whatever to their suffering from hunger—their submarines give none to the sufferings of our allies. When we ourselves entered the war a year ago, German food shortage was accepted as one of the apparent factors which would help us win. Twelve months' experience has brought an awakening to the American people. We now know that allien countries are hard pressed for luod. We have in our own country the reflex of the allies' food needs. Events last fall in Italy, and the past winter In Russia, make it cleurer than ever that this war is to be won by lighting alone (military, economic and Industrial), and that consideration of the German food situation and uther factors than the military one Is short-sighted, dungerous, and may lay the busis for prolongation of the war. "In another way France stands alone ! us a warring nation," says Doctor Taylor—" the imuiediateuesa and completeness of her mobilization for war from the first days of August, 1(J14." To make this clear, lie divides war preparations into three zones. The first zone is that of actual military mobilization, and operations Involving the raising of armies, the dispatch of fleets, and the making of war paraphernalia. The second zone is one entered by 1 a nation when it begins to divert Its i civilian industries to war industries, a J transformation tiutt is absolutely necessary in modern war, and which can only end when every industry has been reshaped to military purposes. The third zone is entered when a nation, having seen the necessity for militarization of industries, and met it, recognizes that even this is not sufficient, but that every man, woman and child outside the fighting force must put forth from 25 to 50 per cent more effort aud energy tha.n in peace times. The mechanic must produce that much more work, either by Intelligent speeding up or longer hours; the farmer must plant that much more, the* merchant must eliminate luxury articles in his stock and serve his customers with fewer clerks, and all classes of the population must save for war purposes, not merely money but materials, food, effort, recreation. France Knew W h a t to Do. It took England over a year to enter the second zone and a year more to enter the third. Italy required as long to enter the second zone. Russia only succeeded in partially entering the second zone—and that shortcoming, together with neglect of food management, probably did as much as German propaganda to undermine her military establishment. But France, who knew the Boche and had lived for more than a generation never losing sight for a day of the fact that ultimately she would have to resist him again, entered all three zones of war preparation on the day that Germany invaded. Her armies marched to the front. Her factories, railroads, and farms were Instantly turned over to war purposes. Her women took their men's places to carry on the work of producing military supplies, food, and other war necessities. Luxury and pleasure disappeared, to be replaced by industry, and industry itself was increased by concentrated effort. The United States has occupied efficiently the first zone of war preparation, and competent observers from abroad, who have seen other nations like our own mobilize, say that we are making satisfactory progress In entering the second zone, where Industries must be diverted from peace to war needs. We have not yet entered the third zone, and from the viewpoint of a long war, to be won by straight military decision, Involving the orderly carrying out of a program of vast magnitude, It is perhaps well that we have not yet pressed on Into this third zone of increased industry. For obviously, until the second zone has been entered and put In order to some extent, the Increased activity required by a nation that has entered the final zone of war preparation might cause confusion and wasted effort. Speed Up to Win. Wars are fought, won, and paid for out of increased production, coupled with savings. During the past year the American people have set a new record in their subscription to government loans. As a nation, however, we are still more or less under the Impression that money saving alone suffices. That is not enough. A man who in normal times would be Justified in buying three hats each year will in wartimes probably have to get along with two. The hat maker will manufacture the three hats just the same, but one of them will be sent to South America in exchange for rubber with which to make army truck tires, or nitrate to make high explosives. The whole basis of foreign trade is rearranged to give othe:- countries things which we can make that are unobtainable from the countries with which they formerly traded, so that we may import in return raw materials vitally necessary for war. The demands of the army* and navy for weapons, clothing, food, and every sort of supplies, coupled with destruction and shortage of wool, cotton, metals, chemicals, and other raw materials, necessitate a careful rearrangement of personal and Individual consumption and • speeding up of prod action. England has been most efficient tn working these transformations. And today all her production, distribution, and consumption are absolutely on the war basis. cai to IT National and Local Meat Business The meat business of the country is conducted by various agencies— By small slaughter-houses in villages— By local Abattoirs or small Packing Houses in towns— both Using only a part of the local live stock supply and Furnishing only a part of the local demand for meat. These slaughtering and distributing agencies fill a well defined but necessarily restricted place in the distribution of the products of live stock. But only packers like Swift & Company, organized on a national scale, are able to undertake the service that is more vitally important, involving An Obligation to the Producer To purchase for spot cash all the live stock the producer may send to market for slaughter. An Obligation to the Consumer To make available to every consumer, everywhere, in season and out, the full supply and variety of meat products, of the highest standard that the market affords.

This tax should be superimposed upon the existing excess profits tax in such a way that the taxpayer should be required to pay whichever tax is the greater. Heavy taxes, perhaps as great as war tax profits, on unearned incomes. Passenger Auto Tax Heavy. Luxuries will be taxed heavily and there is a disposition on the part of some members of both house and senate to regard passenger automobiles as luxuries and to include in the new war revenue bill a license tax ranging from $50 to $500 annually. As all automobiles already are licensed through the different state governments, a federal license tax could be collected almost without effort and the proposal meets with considerable favor in many quarters. Congress, in advance of Mr. Mc- Adoo's recommendations, has been studying the English system of war taxation which levies heavy taxes on war profits and. unearned incomes. Definitely committed to the policy that the greater burden of the new war taxes should be imposed upon luxuries, war profits and incomes, the ways and means committee of the house will hold its first meeting June 7 to frame the $8,000,000,000 measure.

Berne, Switzerland — Arrival in Switzerland of Grand Duchess Olga. sister of former Emperor Nicholas of Russia, gives color to recent persistent reports that the former emperor and empress and others of the Romanoff family may take up residence here or at some other point outside Russia where their personal safety will be less endangered by disorders in that country. The grand duchess journeyed from the interior of Russia to Petrograd and thence to Berlin, Zurich and Geneva. At Geneva she joined the family of former King Constantine of Greece. It is regarded here as significant of the German attitude that Emperor William gave full permission for passage of the grand duchess through Germany to Switzerland, providing facilities on the way. 55,000 MICHIGAN MEN IN WAR Nearly 20,000 Others Have Enlisted In the Regular Army and Navy. Lansing—How Michigan has responded to the call to arms and given of her youth to defeat the threat of Prussian world domination is shown he will give the"committee some ideas l n figures Just made ^available detailing about methods of taxing incomes. The members of the committee are firmly of the opinion that consumption taxes on articles such as coffee, tea and sugar should be imposed only as a last resort. Every effort will be made to raise at least three-fourths of the $8,$00,000,000 by means of taxes on war profits and incomes. Too Repeal Old Law. Incomes in excess of $20,000 will bear the brunt of the increase. To make up the balance the rates on the work of the draft boards in the 12 months that have passed since the first registration under the selective service law. Just a year ago 377,179 Michigan men of draft age registered under the law. Since that date approximately 5-5,000 of them have been Inducted into service. Besides these approximately 20,000 men of all ages have enlisted in the regular army and a large number have entered the navy and marine corps.

The treasury department's estimate of the amount that will be collected on income and excess profits this year la $2,775,185,000. Members of the committee thoroughly understand that from these two sources almost three times this amount must be collected. 20,000 PHYSICIANS ENROLLED Surgeon-General William C.

Paris Armies of Crown Prince Rupprecht, Bavaria, again are hitting the Allied line in a new offensive, with P;iris apparently their object. Between Montdidier and Noyon, over a front of about 22 miles, .preceded, as usual, by a heavy bombardment with shells of all calibers and with noxious gases, the enemy's initial maneuver evidently has in view the bending back of the Allied front toward the town of St. Just on the northern wing and toward the railroad junction of Compiegne on the southern flank, getting astride the Oise river and driving southwest toward the French capital. Allied Line Holding Strongly. French troops are resisting the impact with their usual valor, but the Germans on their right and in the center, have been able to penetrate the line for distances ranging from twothirds of a mile south of Montdidier to relatively two and a half miles at Ressons-Sur-Matz, in the center. Thence to Noyon, however, the Allied line is holding strongly. If success should rest with the enemy on the new battle front, it possibly might badly affect the stability of the line of the defenders of the Oise to the Marne and compel a falling back westward from the Oise to the region of the Marne northwest of Chateau Thierry in order to straighten out the deep salient that would then project eastward with the Soissons sector as its apex. The Allied commanders, it is asserted, were not taken unawares by the new offensive. Allies Have Prepared for Shock. On the other hand they had anticipated, since the failure of the army of the German crown prince to gain its objectives between Soissons and the Marne and thence on the southern part of the line running to Rheims, the German high command would decree another maneuver to the north and preparations accordingly were made to withstand the shock. Kaiser Tightens Grip on His Allies. Amsterdam—Unity ef military command has been extended from Germany and Austria to embrace Bulgaria and Turkey, the Deutsche Tages Zeitung of Berlin reports.

C H A P T E R XVI—Continued. —12— "Cassell had a fancy for t h a t particular blonde. The answer came back In the s h a p e of a volley of cusses. I changed the subject. , "After a while our talk veered round to t h e way the Boches had been exposing themselves on the road down on the c h a r t a s Target 17. W h a t he said about those Baches would never have passed the relchstag, though I believe It would have gone through our censor easily enough. "The b u r s t i n g shells were making such a din that I packed up talking rtnd took to watching the captain. He w a s fidgeting around on an old sandbag with t h e glass to his eye. Occasionally he would let out a grunt, and make some remark I couldn't hear on account of the noise, but I guessed what it was all right, Fritz was getting fresh again on that road. "Cassell had been sending in the 'tap code1 to me, but I was fed u p and didn't bother with it. Then h e sent O. S., and I t\;as all attention, for this was a call used between u s which meant t h a t something important was on. I w a s all e a r s in an instant. Then Cassell t u r n e d loose. " ' Y o u b l a n k e t y blank dud, I have been trying to raise you for fifteen minutes. W h a t ' s the matter, are you asleep?' ( J u s t a s if anyone could have slept in that infernal r a c k e t ! ) 'Never mind framing a nasty answer. J u s t listen.' " ' A r e you game for putting something over on the Boches and Old Pepper all In one?' "I answered t h a t 1 was game enough . when It came t o putting it over the Boches, but confessed t h a t I had a w e a k e n i n g of the spine, even a t the mention of Old Pepper's name. "He came back with, 'It's so absurdly easy and simple that there is n o chance of t h e old heathen rumbling it. Anyway, if we're caught, I'll tak*e theblame.' "Under these condition 1 told him to spit out his scheme. It was so daring and simple t h a t it took my breath away. T h i s is w h a t he proposed : "If t h e Boches should use that road again, to send by the tap system the with hJs feet. At last, turning to me, he said : " 'Wilson, this army Is a blankety blank washout. What's the use of having artillery if it is not allowed to fire? The government a t home ought to be hanged with some of their red tape. It's through them that we have no shells.' "I answered, 'Yes, sir,' and started sending thfs opinion over the wire t o Cassell, b u t t h e captain interrupted me with : " 'Keep those Infernal fingers still. What's the matter, getting the nerves? When I'm talking to you, pay attention.' "My heart sank. Supposing he had rumbled that tapping, then all would be up with our plan. I stopped drumming with my fingers and s a i d : " 'Beg your pardon, sir, just a habit with me.' " 'And a d d silly one, too,' he answered, turning t o his glasses again, and I knew I was safe. He had not tumbled t o the meaning of that tapping. "All a t once, without turning round, he exclaimed : " 'Well, of all the nerve I've ever run order to tire. Range and everything correct, too. I know I didn't. Wilson, did I give you any order for the battery to open u p ; Of course I didn't, did I?' "I answered very emphatically, 'No, sir, you gave no command. Nothing went through this post. I am absolutely certain on that point, sir.' " 'Of course nothing went through,' he replied. Then his face fell, and he muttered out loud : " 'But, by Jove, wait till Old Pepper gets wind of this. There'll be fur flying.' J u s t then Bombardier Cassell cut In on the wire : " 'General's compliments to Captain A . H e directs t h a t officer and signaler report a t the double t o brigade h e a d q u a r t e r s as soon as relieved. Relief now on the way.' "In a n undertone to me, 'Keep a brass front, Wilson, and for God's sake, stick.' I answered with, 'Rely on me, mate,' but I was trembling all over. "I gave the general's message to the captain, and started packing up. "The relief arrived, and a s we left the post the captain said : 14 'Now for the fireworks, and I know they'll be good and plenty.' They were. "When we arrived a t the gun pits the b a t t e r y commander, the sergeant major and Cassell were waiting for us. We fell in line and the funeral march It. Don't be gaping a t me like a Hah. Spit it out.' "I stammered, 'Sir, I knuw absolutely nothing.' " 'That's easy to see,' h e roared; 'rhut stupid face tells me that. Shut up. Get o u t ; but I think you are u d- d liar just the same. Back to your battery.' "I saluted and made my exit. " T h a t night the captain sent for us. With fear and trembling we went to his dugout. He was alone. After saluting we stood a t attention in front of him and waited. His say was short. " 'Don't you two ever get it iuto your heads that Morse i s a dead language. I've known i t for years. T h e two of you had better get rid of that nervous habit of tapping t r a n s m i t t e r s ; it's dangerous. T h a t ' s all.' "We saluted, and were just going out the door of the dugout when the captain called up back and said : M 'Smoke Goldfiakes? Yes? Well, there are two tins of thern on my table. Go back to the battery, and keep your tongues between your teeth. Understand?' "We understood. "For five weeks afterwards our battery did nothing but extra fatigues. We were satisfied and so were the men. I t w a s worth it to put one over on Old Pepper, to say nothing of the injury caused to Fritz' feelings." When Wilson had finished his story I looked up a n d t h e dugout w a s \WM fmy*w • jjjJ 11¾¾^1 to brigade h e a d q u a r t e r s started.

Cassell, later, described i t a s -sounding like a bombing raid. In about two m i n u t e s t h e officer reappeared. The sweat was pouring from his forehead, a n d his face w a s the color of a beet. H e was speechless. As h e passed t h e captain he Jerked his thumb In the direction of t h e lion's den and went out. Then the captain went in, and t h e lions were once again fed. The captain stayed about twenty minutes and came out. I couldn't see his face, but the droop In his shoulders was enough. He looked like a wet hen. "The door of t h e geueral's room opened and Old Pepper stood in the doorway. With a roar he shouted : " ' W h i c h one of you Is Cassell? D n me, get your heels together when I s p e a k ! Come in here.1' "Cassell started to say, 'Yes sir,' "But Old Pepper roared, 'Shut u p ! ' "Cassell came out in five minutes. He said nothing, but as he passed me left. Wilson whispered to me "Blime me, Yank, I see where I click for crucifixion. T h a t captain is t h e same one t h a t chucked us Goldfiakes in his dugout and here I have been 'chucking me weight about In his hearing.' " Wilson never clicked his crucifixion.

Hut that there must be a reason is quite evident. Probably more than one—but the one that requires emphasis—is that the soil is of the nature that will produce good crops. It wus not long since that the farmer selected his land in the most haphazard way. He need not do so today. He will select it on the soil analysis plan. Soil from Western Canada was submitted to Prof. Sievens, soil physicist of the State College of Washington, at Pullman, Wash. Ills report should no doubt further encourage settlement in Western Canada. It reads as follows : "We have analyzed this sample and find that It runs high In lime, very high in potash, phosphorus and in nitrogen ; that it has u splendid supply of organic matter and Is in the best of physical condition. There is nothing wrong with this soil from the standpoint of crop production, and I am satisfied that it will give splendid results wherever put under cultivation." It is soil like this properly worked, and on scientific lines, as is the rule today, that gives the opportunity to quote the experiences of farmers who have Increased their incomes from $500 to $30,000 in two seasons, and whose story would read as follows : "I have threshed altogether 7,000 bushels of No. 1 Northern wheat from 200 acres, which went from 24 to 50 per acre—sod breaking 24, spring plowing 36, back setting f>6 bushels— the average being 35 bushels per acre." The newspaper giving an account of this man's experience s a y s : "When he disposed of his 1,000 acres from north of Brooks, Alta, to four Oak Harbor men, he was worth $30,000. Two years ngo he came here with $500 and a few hoi-sen." It is the soil of Western Canada, nnd the knowledge of what it will do that brings to Canada the hundreds of settlers that are daily arriving at the border. A growing enthusiasm for the fertile prairie lands of Western Canada is spreading all over the continent. This enthusiasm Is the recognition of the fact that sufficient food could he produced on those prairie lands to feed the world, From the south, east and west, hundreds of men, too old for military service, are pouring into Western Cnnnda to t a k e up land or to work on the farms. A great many of the incoming settlers have arrived at such central points as Calgary, Edmonton, and Letbbridgo, Alberta, and at Reglnn, Moose Jaw, and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Judging from the bulk of their household effects, the number of their horses and cattle, and the quantify of implements they are bringing with them, most of the new arrivals also seem well blessed with the world's goods. Reports from North Portal, Saskatchewan : Coutts, Alberta, and Kingsgate, British Columbia—the principal gateways into Western Canada from the United States—indicate that the present influx of farmers is in such volume -as has not been witnessed for many years. From Vancouver, British Columbia, people are going to the prairies for summer farm work, many wit!) the intention of taking up land themselves at the end of the summer. The Influence of this tide of farmer settlers on greater food production will be more readily appreciated when it Is considered, that the average settler takes up at least twice as much land ns he has hitherto been farming—and land which, aero for acre, produces better nnd larger crops.—Advertisement Where the Trouble Was, Jon.^s—Are yoi; good at mental /irithmeik', B r o w i ?

This is not only true of the stupendous spectacle of war in its most barbaric form, asserts a prominent fashion critic, but it is true of the minor accidents and happenings that flutter through "This Imbroglio called life." Observe fashions. The designers dip '.heir hands deep ^nto the boiling pot of ancient lauds, history and peoples, and pull out of it demure or fantastic things, which they dress up a bit and give over to a most modern people, who accept them as new. At present the designers are dipping more deeply than ever. They seem to be frantically pulling out odds and ends of flotsam and jetsam that must serve to whet the appetites of those who have money. Garden Hats and Tea Gowns. It seemed a fitting thing today to revive the simplicity of Civil war co«- tutnery, and therefore we see approaching us an era of printed muslins, garden bats, pastel colors and Colonial fichus. Along with these fashions comes that intimate and usually alluring garment (/ailed the tea gown. It is as much a part of the English social system as five o'clock tea, cricket and parliament. The French have <;Iwavs Sumptuous gown with long mantle. Purple and gold tissues are combined in this garment. The purple and gold oriental sash which drapes the hips ends In a gold embroidered panel in front, and the sleeves are of diaped gold and purple tulle. placed their reliance upon the garment which they call the "robe d'interieur." But the American had nothing to place beside these two. When this remark was once made to a French designer she lifted her eyebrows in surprise and asked. "But Is there not the Mother Hubbard?" T h e r e was. she was assured, but it was p.nt the kind of garment of which she would approve. But here in America today we are rapidly learning the artistic value and comfort of the British tea gowns, which someone once described as the only really soft thing in the British nation. That statement was made, however, before the English woman had learned to copy the arts and the graces of face and figure from the French, and when she still wore her stiff, unyielding, ugly clothes; her big EASY TO MAKE YOUR GUIMPE boots; straight, mannish Scotch tweeds, and raglan '-oats. The English tea gown has spread over the civilized world, alongside of the English five o'clock tea, which even the American soldiers behind the French battle front have learned to desire. The British wear two sets of costurnery at that hour in the afternoon, and both of these are Introduced this s u m m e r ; the flowered muslin with the big shade hat, and the alluring tea gown with its fanciful coloring and Its loose grace. • Substitute It for Dinner Gown. One of the reusons that Amerlcu Is wearing this tea gown at and after the ftve o'cluck hour Is that the French have taught her the economy and pleasure of it. Black, midnight blue, olive green, bei-ge and munitions gray have ruled the outdoor costurnery of the French people since August, 1914. They hav6 worn white only at mountain and seashore resorts, and then It was restricted to sport, clothe* for the morning hours. The French a r e quite willing to wear dark and demure clothes In the street, but they ease up the depression ol their spirits by adopting colors in their own homes. At the opera, the play^ in public restaurants, one sees clothes in somber colors; but in the F r e n c h homes—especially in the Paris houses, where women a r e involved in a social system—there is a brilliant display of the British tea gown. It solves t h e problem ; It satisfies the need for colo.'. America's Contribution. We are becoming quite self-assurud in designing clothes these days, and have made such rapid progress that we do not rest entirely upon w h a t others give us. When the dressmakers found t h a t women who spent different amounts of money and moved in different kinds of social life were asking for tea gowns, there immediately jumped up a kind of rivalry among the workers to see who could get out something startling and good. The especial contribution in which this rivalry has resulted Is the rainbow tea gowns. We have already found out that we are In for a "rainbow" season. Whoever named the first fighting division that went to France had a happy inspiration—it gave the word to a hundred activities in this country. The name flickers from the stage, on posters, gowns and hats, and now It seems to have found iin admirable setting in the new tea gown. Elaborate J a p a n e s e Style. P'rance has sent to us a striking tea gown that is being copied. It is made as an elaborate J a p a n e s e kimono. The material is extra-broad black and white striped satin. There is a flicker of white lace nnd a bit of white satin, and the robe Is complete. All of the house robes that are to be substituted for dinner gowns this spring and summer do not owe their inspiration to the exotic East. There are other epochs and other fashions from which the designers draw. The early nineteenth century has been found prolific in Ideas. The tea gowns which are taken from that time are sometimes more suitable for the average woman than the more complicated draperies. These are made of flowered chiffon, printed voile and silk net, nnd they are run beneath the bust, after the manner that obtained ;:, the Directoire, with broad ribbons of old blue, pale pink and Chinese yellow. They are half low and round In the neck, and have short puffed sleeves. (Copyright, 191S, hv the.

No other kidney remedy that I know of has so large a sale." Acw>rding to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmers' owamp-Root is due to the fact that, so many people claim, it fulfils almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.

A. C Experiment Station Reports on Results of Five Years' Work. RENOVATION IS BIG HELP Michigan Beans, Shipped West, Grown and Brought Back, One Demonstrated Solution. By J. H. M U N C I E , Plant Pathologist, Michigan Agricultural College. East Lansing, Mich.—As usual large acreages of beans are being put In, or have already been seeded in the legume- growing centers of the state, among which may be mentioned Tus- -cola county, Saginaw, Huron, Gratiot, Isabella and a number of other districts. It is a fact, however, that despite Michigan's pre-eminence as a producer of day edible beans, the raising of this crop has been gravely interfered with by the spread of bean diseases within the state. More than anything else (unless it be a satisfactory adjustment of the price question) Michigan growers are feeling the need for measures by which these annually recurring epidemics of blight «nd anthracnose can be controlled. When we remember that the average yield of beans per acre within the state in 1905 was 15 bushels, and that in 1914 It was only 11.8, and that In 1917 it was still less, the Imperative need of remedial measures of some kind can readily be comprehended. The one consolation which Michigan men who have tackled this bean disease problem have been able to see in the situation has been the fact that other states where navy beans are grown are in almost as bad a way. But undoubtedly, Michigan is feeling the damage most, for in the ten years from 1905 to 1915, we produced 70 per cent of the nation's bean crop. During the last five years the experiment station of the college has been Investigating and studying these diseases Incessantly—witti the result thus far that the control of bean diseases does not seem much nearer than it was when the work was begun. Still the idea should not be entertained that the work was fruitless, for while It was found that chemicals do not seem to do much good when applied to the seed, a number of methods of control which may be successfully made use of in the future were developed. For one thing, progress in the breeding of a disease-resistant variety Is being made by Prof. F. H. Spragg of the farm crops experiment station; for another thing it has been demonstrated that such practices as selecting of disease- free pods in the field from vigorous plants, and the planting of only strictly clean seed help materially to reduce losses. But more promising than any of these was the proving that If Michigan beans are shipped to California or Idaho and grown and the seea" brought back here, a practically disease-free crop can be raised. What the experiment station did was send several consignments of beans to California and Idaho, where they were grown under contract by a number of selected western farmers. The seed from this crop was then brought back. These beans germinated well, and the seedlings came up strongly and evenly, producing an excellent stand of beans. The California-grown seed ripened about two weeks earlier than the crops from the Michigan and Idaho seed. The yield was about fourteen bushels to the acre. Altogether, the growing of Michigan beans for one, or even two seasons In some western state where the climatic conditions are extremely unfavorable to the diseases present the best means of combating bean diseases In thi* state, at least until a disease-resistant variety of beans can be obtained. The growing of beans in Idaho is rendered more of less uncertain by the early frosts; in California bean blight Is much more serious than in Idaho. Yet, with careful selection of seed for sending West and the proper location, iplantlng and cultivation of the crop, excellent results should be obtained from growing beans In lower California. This method of obtaining seeo>on a large scale should recommend itself to both growers and Jobbers. With a comparatively small expenditure the growers and Jobbers' associations could establish warehouses in a deair- :> i The rvsulis of the L'X;HT!wents a» a. whole, were us follows: Both beau unthracuose uud blight are earned to the held in or on the seed, and affect all ihe parts ot the plant above ground. The organism which cVuses these dineases is carried from one part of the plant to another in drops of water. Cultivating when the plants are wet with dew or rain will spread ihea« diseases. Seed treatments with chemical solutions have failed to control the8e diseases. Spraying should, to a great extent, control the amhraenose and blight tf the spray material is applied thoroughly and the applications are made soon enough. The first application should be made when the cotyledons are still on the seedlings. The diseases can be greatly reduced through the use of clean seed. Such seed can he secured by pod selection, or from Michigan beans grown one year in Idaho or California. Native western beans cannot be successfully grown in Michigan. By growing Michigan seed beans in Idaho or California, Michigan can secure clean seed each year, regardless of local weather conditions during the previous season. Such seed if planted consistently, as a general practice In the state, would reduce the losses due to these diseases to a negligible amount.

East Lansing, Mich.—"The wise gardener this season will be the gardener who raises his own seed," the department of horticulture of M. A. C. is letting it be known. This precaution must be taken, the department avers, because the supply upon which the country would normally depend for ita 1919 planting will not be forthcoming. "The reserve supply of seed usually carried by the seed houses has never been so low In the history of the business," a bulletin from the horticulturists says. "This is attributable to a j down.

One thousand five hundred and eighty-four succumbed to disease and other causes, while 1,34:¾ were killed in action or died of wounds. The list includes 198 casualties an nounced Sunday the longest that has come from General Pershing. A summary with figures brought up to date will be issued weekly.

"The old-time practice of saving one's own garden seed can in this emergency be revived with advantage, remembering that the fundamental principle in successful seed saving is , selection of seed only from the best plants." A bulletin entitled "Saving Seeds for the Home and Market Garden" is being issued by the college, and can be obtained by mailing a card to the Experiment Station, East Lapsing, with a request for "Circular No. 35." VARIETY ORCHARD IN FAVOR Opportunity Afforded Orchardist Make Selection of Kinds of Fruit Desired. t« A variety orchard not only affords fruits in season, thus extending the time for fresh fruits, but it gives the orchardist a flue opportunity to study varieties and thus fortifies him with information suitable for determining the best varieties of such fruits as apples, peaches, plums, pears, grapes, strawberries, blackberries, dewberries, etc. In this way we need not depend upon our neighbors' advice as to the best variety, though their advice may be helpful, but we can test the varieties on our own farms. BERRIES PLANTED IN GARDEN Qood Plan to 8et Between Rows of Early Sweet Corn—Remove Before Harm Is Done. fornla and grow under contract each year enough beans to Insure a fair crop in Michigan. Of course this method would be impractical for small growers, though local growers' associations could profitably take np the growing of seed for their own member* In the home garden, In case water is available, strawberry plants may succeed an early garden crop, preferably peas or beans, as they leave the soil In excellent condition. Not a bad plan Is to sat strawberry plants between rows of early sweet corn. The corn gives some shade, but not too much and may be removed altogether before any harm Is done to the strawberry plants. Strawberry plants can also be set between rows of early potatoes and a hoeing given when the potatoes are dug. While no official explanation was given for the decision of the department to advise the oountry weekly of the exact total of casualties since the landing of the first American forces in France last June, it is understood that it resulted largely from widespread reports that casualties had been very heavy and that total figures were being withheld from the public. It has been explained at the depart* ment that the daily lists sent by Gen* eral Pershing are issued with as little delay as possible. Casualties are so scattered in the lists that they will not give information of value to the enemy, but this does not mean that any appreciable numbers are held back. After heavy actions, such as that at Cantigny, it requires several days to check up the casualties and eable them to the department. American troops have been in the trenches several months and now hold sectors at several points along the western front. In addition many American units are brigaded with the French and British and have been in heavy fighting since the German driTS began in March. General Pershing's men first went into the front line last November for training and soon afterwards they took of a trench sector permanently, Other units went into the trenches for final training with the French later and finally took over sectors so that the total frontage now held by the Americans rank second to that of the French and British armies. Advancing Years Evidently Have in No Way Dimmed Scotsman's Keen Sense of Humor. Mr. Andrew Carnegie was once asked which he considered to be the most important factor In Industry—labor, capital, or brains? The canny Scot replied, with merry twinkle in his eye: "Which is the most important leg of a three-legged Rtool?" The above reminds us of what Mr. Carnegie once said at a dinner: "Don't believe the old fellows who talk about the superiority of the past over the present. Those old fellows arc possessed by the same absurdity which possessed Dash. M , I guess I want a pair of spectacles,' he said to his oculist. '"Ah, old age coming on, eh?' laugher the oculist.

Those who favor intervention received remarkable support from statements of Ensign Alexander Petrenke, once a leading "ace" of the Russian army. He arrived in Washington from Vladivostok, whither he had fled across Siberia after the defeat of General Kaledine's Cossack army in the Don country. He declares that 1,000 officers of the Russian army, among them many generals, are eagerly awaiting at Vladivostok the Allied aid in arms, which, they say, must be furnished their country, before Russia becomes a hopeless wreck of anarchy, and easy prey for Germany.

"First, that we keep this nation a nation, a nation of Americans and ofily of Americans, a nation in which we do not allow any man to pretend to be a citizen unless he is aa American and nothing else. "That we treat every good American without regard to his birthplace or national origin or creed aa on an equality with every other good American in the land. "That we prepare for the future, so that never again shall we be caught as shamefully unprepared as we have been caught this time. "Finally, and most important, that now we bend our whole energies to speeding up this war, to put Jit through until it is crowned with overwhelming triumph." The colonel had elucidated his last point earlier in more characteristic language. "I don't want any decision on points," he declaimed. "I want a knockout." That was one of the epigrammatic flashes that proved him the same old Teddy, after all. For when America's foremost private citizen began his Arcadia address, the gentleness with which he initiated what became later a smashing arraignment of the evils still lurking in the life of the nation at war, caused many whispered comments that age had begun to overtake virility; that while ability to express himself in plain English had not faltered, his vim and fire of delivery had suffered with advancing years. Although Roosevelt's main topic was ; the fault underlying America's failure to make the best of her opportunities, both before and after she entered the war, he spent fully 20 minutes discussing the duty of American citizens of fighting age. He was in Detroit the guest of the navy; he came as a part of their program for recruiting the men who will build a bridge across the seas, and he acknowledged the fact by plain-spoken declarations as to the necessity for battle-line strength. "For the only way to win the war, after all, is a smash the German armies," he declared, bringing down a characteristic fist BUMPER CROPS FOR STATE Drought Is Only Thing Fsared; Beans Can Be Gotten Rid of Before Frost. Lansing- Crop reports, unofficial onea which come to Lansing by letter and by mouth, are eo good that state officials are Bitting with their finders crossed, hardly daring to hope that the conditions which have already appeared will continue throughout the summer. Down to cases, nothing but a drought is feared. If conditions continue hereinafter for the rest of the summer as have obtained during May, Michigan will have bumper crops. Even early frosts are not fared much, for with a continuance of the present good weather nearly all the crops will have matured long before the frosts come. Even beans, always a dangerous crop, can be gotten rid of before the first touch of cold weather comes. Last year lateness in the start of the season put practically 75 per cent of the bean crop so late in maturing that the early frosts nipped them. MRS. STOKES GIVEN TEN YEARS Found Guilty On All Three Counts New Trial Overruled. Kansas City, Mo.—After conviction of Rose Pastor Stokes, Judge A. S Van Valkenburgh, In the United States district court here, overruled a motion for a new trial filed by Seymour Stedmanj her attorney, based on the contention that the court had failed to drstlnguish between motive and intent. The court also overruled a motion for arrest of Judgment. The case was based on a letter she wrote to the Kansas City Star, in which she declared she had asserted: "No government which is for the profiiteers can be for the people, and I am for the people." « The Star, which had used conservative 'headlines on the interview she had given criticising the government —she afterward said she meant the administration, instead of the government supposed to be satisfactory to Mrs. Stokes; for she had no further complaint of lack of publicity. At that point the government stepped In. The result was her indictment under the espionage act. Mrs. Stokes was given 10 years on each of three counts, the terms to run concurrently and the defendant not being subjected to a fine. PRAGER lURORS ACQUIT ALL 11 Wild Demonstration In Courtroom When News of Not Guilty Came. TRIAL OF I. W. W. UNDER WAY Former Chief Tells of Driving 8pikes In Logs to Wreck Machinery. Chicago—Private Frank Wormkee, alias Frank Woods, testified at the trial of 112 Industrial Workers''of the World that he was asked by members of the organization to teach sabotage in the American army. This sabotage, Wormkee said he was informed, could include placing a foreign substance in food to cause Illness and the cutting up of clothing. Wormkee's tale of violence by members of the organisation spanned a period of nearly two years, during a part of which he worked as an organizer In the harvest fields, the big lumber camps, the shipping districts and the orange belt, of California. He ad mi ted committing acts of sabotage while an I. W. W. delegate, and said he received I. W. W. literature in at least one instance after ha entered Jefferson barracks.

Edwardsville, III.—The 11 men charged*with murder in connection with the lynching of Robert Paul Prager, enemy alien, were acquitted by a juay after 45 minutes of deliberation. Two ballots were taken. Announcement that all of the defendants had been found not guilty was attended by a wild demonstration in tne courtroom in which the accused men were overwhelmed with congratulations by relatives and friends who, throughout the long vigil of examination and testimony-taking, have crowded the room. In closing the argument for the defense, Thomas Williamson quoted a statement attributed to former Ambassador Gerard in which the latter told of replying to the kaiser's threat that thene were 500,000 reservists in this country with this assertion: "Yes, and there are 500,001 lamp posts to hang them on." He declared that the present war situation had developed a new "unwritten law" which had been invoked by the men who hanged Prager because of his alleged disloyalty.

Paris—The strength of General Foch'a reserves has been felt by the armies of the German crown prince in the "battle for Paris." * East of the line running from Solasons to Chateau Thierry, where the Germans in a continuation of their mighty strokes gained several additional villages and then attempted to proceed further westward, magnificent opposition was imposed by the newly strengthened lines and, with terrifla smashes, the French forces recaptured Longpont, Corey, Faverolles and Troesnes, vantage points in the center of the line leading to the forest of Villers Cotterets, which seems to be the present objective here of the enemy- Enemy Reach the Marne. The Germans, however, still have In their possession the village of Vaurezis, lying to the west of Soissons, and further south Saconin-Et-BreuiL Chaudun, Licy and Bouresches, the last named directly west of Chateau Thierry. A little to the southwest of Chateau Thierry the enemy has reached the Marne, Nowhere has there been any attempt by the invaders to cros sthe river, and at all points east of Chateau Thierry they are hugging the northern bank of the stream. It is not improbable, however, the tactics of the Germans have in view the fording of the river when the time is more propitious, for in the center of the line between Chateau Thierry and Rheims they have pushed back the Allied front across the Rheims-Dormans road between Olizy-Violalne and Ville-En-Taraenois and are pressing toward the Marne. Germany's Best Troops in Battle. This is the only point on their left wing, however, where ( the enemy has been able to make fresh gains, notwithstanding the fact he has thrown new divisions into the battte, some of of them the best trained troops la the German army. Having failed in all their efforts to conquer Rheims by direct assault, it now seems to be the intention of the Germans further to widen their occupation of the territory lying south of the Rheims-Dormans road and thereby outflank the cathedral city and bring about its capitulation. In the fighting in the immediate vicinity of Rheims the enemy won Fort de la Pompelle, but his tenure of the position was short-lived, for the French troops in a counter attack reconquered I t Counter-Revolutionary Plot Bared.

EMPEY GIVES A DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK ON OBSERVATION POST DUTY. Synopsis.—Fired by the sinking of the Lusltania, with the loss of American lives, Arthur Guy Ernpey, 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. CHAPTER XVI—Continued. —11 — *'I came out with the first expeditionary force, and, like all the rest, thought we would have the enemy licked In Jig time, and be able to eat Christmas dinner at home. Well,", so far, I have eaten two Christmas dijar ners in the trenches, and am liable to eat two more, tb.3 way things are pointing. That la, If Fritz don't drop a 'whizz-bang* on me, and send me to Blighty. Sometimes I wish I would get hit, because it's no great picnic out here, and twenty-two months of It makes you fed up. "It's fairly cushy now compared to what It used to be, although" I admit this trench Is a trifle rough. Now, we send over five shells to their one. We are getting our own back, but In the early days It was different. Then you had to take everything without reply. In fact, we would get twenty shells In return for every one we sent over. Fritz seemed to enjoy It, but we British didn't; we were the sufferers. Just one casualty after another. Sometimes whole platoons would disappear, especially when a 'Jack Johnson' plunked into their middle. It got so bad that a fellow, when writing home, wouldn't ask for any cigarettes to be sent out, because' he was afraid he wouldn't be there to receive them. "After the drive to Paris was turned back, trench warfare started. Our general grabbed a map. drew a pencil across it, and said, 'Dig here.' Then he went back to his tea, and Tommy armed himself with a pick and shovel and started digging. He's been digging ever since. "Of course we dug those trenches at night, but it was hot work, what with the rifle and machine-gun fire. The stretcher bearers worked harder than the diggers. "Those trenches, bloomin' ditches, I call them, were nightmares. They were only about five feet deep, and you used to get the backache from bending down. It wasn't exactly safe to stand upright, either, because as soon as your napper showed over the top a bullet would bounce off It, or else come so close It would make your hair stand. "We used to fill sandbags and stick them on top of the parapet to make it higher, but no use; they would be there about an hour and then Fritz would turn loose and blow them to bits. My neck nsed to be sore from ducking shells and bullets. "Where my battery was stationed a hasty trench had been dug, which the boys nicknamed 'Suicide ditch,' and, believe me, Yank, this was the original 'Suicide ditch.' All the others are Imitations. J "When a fellow went into tffkt trench It was an even gamble that he would come out on a stretcher. At one time a Scotch battalion held It, and when they heard the betting was even money that they'd come out on stretchers, they grabbed all the bets In sight. Like a lot of bally Idiots, several of the battery men fell for their game, and put up real money. The 'Jocks' suffered a lot of casualties, and the prospects looked bright for the battery men to collect some easy money. So when the battalion was relieved the gamblers lined up. Several 'Jocks' got their money for emerging safely, but the ones who clicked it weren't there to pay. The artillerymen had never thought It out that way. Those Scottles were bound to be sure winners, no matter how the wind blew. So take a tip from me, never bet with a Scottie, 'cause you'll lose money. "At one part of our trench where a communication trench Joined the front line a Tommy had stuck up a wooden signpost with three hands or arms on it. One of the hands, pointing to the German lines, read, T o Berlin ;' the one pointing down the com* munication trench read, 'To Blighty/ while the other said, 'Suicide Ditch, Change Here^for Stretchers.' "Farther down from this guide post the trench ran through an old orchard. On the edge of this orchard our battery had constructed an advanced observation post. The trees screened it from the enemy airmen and the roof was turfed. It wasn't cushy like ours, no timber or concrete re-enforcements, Just walls of sandbags. From it a splendid view of the German lines could be obtained. This post wasn't pxactly safe. It was a hot corner, shells plunking all around, and the bullets cutting leaves off the trees. Many a time when relieving the signaler at the 'phone, I had to crawl on my belly like a worm to keep from being hit. "It was an observation post sure enough. That's all the use It was. Just observe all day, but never a message back for our battery to open np. Yon see, at this point of the line there were strict orders not to fire a shell, unless specially ordered to do so from •&* V ^ ' T ,V 6i &> One of the Big Quit* Barking. brigade headquarters. Bllme me, Lf anyone disobeyed that coinmaad, our general—yes, it was Old Pepper— would have court-martialed the whole expeditionary force. Nobody went out of their way to disobey Old Pepper In those days, because he couldn't be called a parson; he was more like a pirate. If at any time the devil should feel lonely and sigh for a proper mate, Old Pepper would get the first call. Facing the Germans wasn't half bad compared with an interview with that old firebrand. "If a company or battalion should give way a few yards against a superior force of Boches, Old Pepper would send for the commanding officer. In about half an hour the officer would come back with hia face the color of a brick, and in a few hours what was left of his command would be holding their original position. "I have seen an officer who wouldn't say d n for a thousand quid spend five minutes with the old boy, and when he returned the flow of language from his lips would make a navvy blush for shame. "What I am going to tell you Is how two of us put It over on the old scamp, and got away with It. It was a risky thing, too, because Old Pepper wouldn't •' have been exactly mild with us lf he had got next to the game. "Me and my mate, a lad named Harry Cassell, a bombardier In D 238 battery, or lance corporal, as you call it in the Infantry, used to relieve the telephonists. We would do two hours on and four off. I would be on duty in the advanced observation post, while he would be at the other end of the wire In the battery dugout signaling station. We were supposed to send fhrough orders for the battery to fire when ordered to do so by the observation officer In the advanced post. But very few messages were sent. It was only in case of an actual attack that we would get a chance to earn our 'two and six' a day. You see, Old Pepperj had issued orders not to fire except when the^orders came from him. And with Old Pepper orders Is orders, and made to obey. "The Germans must have known about these orders, for even in the day their transports and troops used to expose themselves as if they were on parade. This sure got up our nose, sitting there day after day, with fine targets in front of us hut unable to send over a shell. We heartily cussed Old Pepper, his orders, the government, the people at home, and everything in general. But the Boches didn't mind cussing, and got very careless. Bllme me, they were bally Insulting. Used to, when using a certain road, throw their caps into the air ao a taunt at our helplessness. "Cassell had been a telegrapher in civil life and Joined up when war was declared. As for me, I knew Morse, learned It at the signalers' school back In 1910. With an officer in the observation post, we could not carry on the kind of conversation that's usual between two mates, so we used the Morse code. To send, one of us would tap the transmitter with his finger nails, and the one on the other end would get it through the receiver. Many an hour was whiled away in this manner passing compliments back and forth. "In the observation post the officer nsed to sit for hours with a powerful .pair of field glasses to his eyes. Through a cleverly concealed loophole he would scan the ground behind the German trench©*, looking for targets and finding many. This ofilcer, Captain A by name, bad a habit of talking out loud to himself. {Sometimes he would vent hli opinion, same as a common private does when he's wrought up. Once upon a time the captain had been on Old Pepper's staff, so he could cuss and blind in the most approved style. Got to be sort of a habit with him. "About 8lx thousand yards from us, behind the German lines, was a road in plain view of our post For the last three days Fritz had brought companies of troops down this road in brood daylight. They were never shelled. Whenever this happened the captain would froth at the mouth and let out n volume of Old Pepper's religion which used to make me love him. "Every battery hn* n rnnge chart on which distinctive landmarks are noted, with the range for each. These landraarks* are called targets, and are numbered. On our battery's chart, that road was called T a r g e t 17, Range 6000, 3 degrees 30 minutes left; D 238 battery consisted of four '4.5' howitsers, and fired a 85-pound H. 18. shell. As you know, H, B. means *high explosive.* I don't tike bumming up say own battery, but we had a record la the division for direct hits, and our boys were Just pining away for a chance to exhibit their aklll In the eyes of Fritz. "Ou the afternoon of tb« fourth day of Fritz' contemptuous u w of the road mentioned the captain and I were at our posts as usual. Fritz was strafeing us pretty rough, Just like he's doing now. The shells were playing leapfrog all thrAigh that orchard. "I was carrying on a conversation In our t a p ' code with Cassell'at the other end. It ran something like thfs: " 'Say, Cassell, how would you like to be In the saloon bar of the King's Arms down Rye lane with a bottle of Bass In front of you,"and that blonde barmaid waiting to fill 'em up again7 T h how over' e next two on installment artillerymen " Old Pepper. relates put one (TO BE CONTINUED.) VAPOR BATHS IN LAPLAND Writer's Strenuous Experience of Cleansing Process Finishes With Being Bastinadoed. In Wide World Frank Hedges Butler describes a vapor tjath In the land of the Lapps. He says: The bathhouse Is a small wooden structure generally situated some way from the dwelling house. It Is divided Into two compartments, one to undress In, while the other contains the oven which produces the steam. The oven is arched with large stones or pebbles, and heated by a fire placed beneath. Undressing In the first room, one enters the heated compartment. After a short rest on a wooden form or bench, which contains a place for the head, the attendants come In and bathe you. Cold water Is thrown over the stones and the hissing vapor soon sends up a cloud of steam. The higher you sit from the floor the greater the heat. As more water Is thrown over the red-hot stones the vapor becomes so Intense that one can hardly breathe. We were soon gasping for breath and covered with a profuse perspiration which Issued from every pore of the skin. Hanging up in the room were tender branches or twigs in a green state and retaining their leaves. Dipping these in water, the attendant began lashing and whipping me across the legs, shoulders, loins and back, till my body seemed quite red with the switching. The bastinadoing over, I was then washed with a soft flannel covered with soap, after which a Jug of the coldest water was thrown over my head and body. THIS WEAK, NERVOUS MOTHER Tells How Lydia E.

A.O/tfX JOLfiC/TAVrJ, 8. AffO/W£L£J 7 HERE is a photograph •shown at Health Exhibitions which many people at first sight take for a picture of the crusts on the surface of the moon, or of the canals on the planet Mars. What It really shows Is a circular plate containing a gelatin culture of the consumption germ — the tubercle bacillus. This plate to begin with was a perfect T)lank — a tabula vasji, as the ancient Romans used to call their tablet before writing on it. But there soon developed on this gelatin plute letters about as ominous as those which the Prophet Daniel pointed out to Belshazzar at his royal feast. Here is the way of it: The laboratory doctor had put on that plate a My that had got his feet stuck in the spittle of a consumptive; and he had then covered the whole with a glass jar so that the fly could not get away. This insect, thus heavy footed, then promenaded all over the plate. Twenty-four hours later colonies of the consumption germs, lflade up of uncountable •millions of those tubercle bacilli, developed on Its tracks. You may think I exaggerate when I^compare this fact of the gelatin plate with the Prophet Daniel nnd the writing on the wall, says a writer in the Detroit Fre<> Press. Well, be that as it may, I ask you only to reflect how consumption has up to this time been carrying off every third or fourth of us between adolescence and maturity ; that in all the wars of the nineteenth century (including those of Napoleon), 14.000,000 succumbed, while 8,000,000 succumbed to consumption, the captain of the men of death; that the advanced consumptive day by day coughs and spits out several thousand millions of the tubercle bacilli; that consumption, besides being a disease, Is the most dreadful economic and social degeneracy In ch41i2atlon; that this great White Plague exists largely by reason of human suplneness and neglect of the simplest precepts of hygiene and sanitation. The Babylonian king did not heed the warning which lay in the writing on the wai!. By heeding the lesson that lies In that little gelatin {ftate we shall be very far on the way. we and oar fellow men and womeA, of banishing the tuberculosis which It represents from .human experience and from on* the face «tf the earta. Of course, flies are not the only agency in the spread of tuberculosis; for tney are actlTe but a few months of the year, whilst that disease is cou- J tracted all the year round. ft Files Swell Infant Death Rate. I It is certain also that flies help greatly to swell the Infant death rate. which Is greatest *in the fly season. There are few more congenial culture media for <erms than milk, especially amid the uncleanllness which obtains In the houses of very many poor people, especially In the tenements. This flnid easily becomes contaminated by flies and with the noxious matter that is continually Ringing to their hairy feet, their spongy bodies and their flaffy wings. Tuberculosis is thus certainly contracted by children, as are the various forms of dysentery, practically all of which are germ ailments. Breast fed Infants seldom have such diarrheas, whilst bottle fed babies have them alt too frequently. Typhoid f e v e r t s J » often transmitted by flies t h a t doeton «0i|ak of this Insect as the (jrpfcofd fly. »It pollutes food and drtnlr, Mfeeefctt? your milk, butter nnd hyiUHiM of tk« materia! wticfe Insects That Convey Diseas ^^2 ~f~~ ^ Common Fly Is the Chief Offender, s But There Are Many Others That Are Also a Serious Menace to Health CATA/0 DOG/Z£A — It carries thence from sources of contamination and of the refuse which it transfers from rotting vegetables, meat and fish. Twenty-five per cent of files breed in manure heaps. Besides the diseases mentioned files have been brought to the bar on indictments for having spread cholera, lockjaw, trachoma (granular lids), anthrax (the stable fly Is here guilty), and something like a dozen more germ diseases. The ordinary fly may swallow the eggs of tapeworms and other intestinal parasites, and then distribute those eggs where they may do hurt to humankind. Before considering other insects 1 had better state more clearly just how these pests perform their part in disease dissemination. The germs may stick to the bodies of the insects. Or the germs may be eaten by the insect? nnd deposited upon human food and drink with their 'excreta. Or the insects may eject the germs from their mouths upon the skins of uncleani? people who do not bathe regularly. Or the Insects may die after eating the germs; and the bodies of the former may fall into the food; or the dead Insect bodies may dry up, crumble, be spread in dust and be either Inhaled or Injected by human beings. Or the insects' (such as the mosquito) may inject into the host with their sting diseased blood which they have previously sucked from a previous sufferer (such as a malaria patient). Mosquito Fever. Doctors prefer to speak of malaria 08 mosquito fever, for, as everyone now knows, It is the species of mosquito called Anopheles, which Is sole- . iy responsible for the propagation of this disease. Anopheles breeds in still water, in moist sand or moss, in pools by the sides of open streams, in permanent accumulations of water of every sort— irrigation ditches, stagnant water where»there Is green scum, in.beds of old canals, In old horse troughs and the like. When the blood of a malaria sufferer Is sucked into the stomach by anopheles the malaria parasite In that blood undergoes development; i and the products of this process enter the mosquito's salivary glands and are ejected into the system of the next person stung. If this latter nnfortnnnte. has not yet had malaria he j thus contracts the disease unless »hls J natural antigerm forces are ahle todestroy the parasite before it can db any mischief In his body. Naturally then, the prevention of malaria depends on the destruction of all breeding places within the radius of a mile. The way to do this is to drain or fill In with earth, or to corer the surface of any water with a rum film of kerosene. Bouses must be screened. Anopheles bitea only after sundown; and only the Lady Aaopkalef does the mischief. Bert, as elsewhere iu the cosmos, is the female of the species m o r e dreadful than the male. Spreads Typhus. The Insect which In highbrow literature Is termed Pedlculus'vestlmentorum, but which i—- r j in plain language Is OiO SUCfAfTO? SXARLATT) t h e l o u s e > l s responsible for. the spread of several grave diseases. Some lice which had been biting typhoid patients were first Immersed In a solution of mercury bichloride; then they were put in sterile water. Next they were ground in a sterile mortar and the resultant material was Inoculated into animals and ( were developed on culture media. By this means tyrfhoid germs were demonstrated in those lice. We have all read how dreadful an executioner was the typhus fever lo the earlier months of this present war, in Serbia and in the Balkans generally; it Is the louse which is the chief disseminator of the typhus germ. The bedbug has from time Immemorial been obnoxious enough by just being a bedbug. But he is now proven to be much more than this. Undoubtedly cases of smallpox are spread by this insect In cheap lodging houses, perhaps more frequently than by any other means. And were it not for the frequent vaccination's ordered by health authorities epidemics of this disease would probably not be rare. Consumption germs have been found in bedbug blood; also the germs of other diseases. This insect may live for weeks without food. During the winter it will become comatose and will weather the winter like any other hibernating creature. It will continue Its existence, will demonstrate its will-to-live, against the hardest kind of luck, from season to season, In lumber camps, summer houses, empty apartments and the like. Fleas Spread Bubonic Plague. The chief Iniquity of the'flea lies in Its transmission of the germ of the bubonic plague. The roach has also been proved an infection conveyer. We must mention also Rocky Mountain fever which has for several years occurred during the spring months in Montana and the neighboring states. The germ of this disease is transmitted from cattle to man by the tick, which insect is the responsible agent also for Texas or cattle fever. I have tried to present here the essential facta about the insect transmission of disease. My article would, however, appear to be like the play of Hamlet with Hamlet left out; for I have written nothing about how to deal with such Insect Infection spreaders.

He took off his coat walked over and picked up a chair and beat it to fragments agairtst a post- This chair finished, he picked up another and went through the same process. ' Finally the gasping editor called out: "Here, what are you doing?*' 'Tm resigning, you grayihalred idiot,'" was the reply, **and I am resigning In a way that will make you remember me until your dying day. And after you are dead I want a piece of the rope." Then he mnrched out and the d t y editor got him later in the day by telephone and offered to double #hls salary, but he wouldn't come back. He has joined his colors. He will make a fighter, no doubt.—Nr»w YofV Sun. WESTERN Got an Excellent Start. Big Yields Now Assured. Never in the history of Weirtern Canada did the seed enter the ground under more favorable conditions. The weather during the month of April was perfect for seeding operations, and from early morning until late at night the seeders were at work, and every acre that could be profitably sown was placed under requisition. Farmers entered heart and soul into the campaign of greater production. There was the time and the opportunity for careful preparation, and a,s a consequence r with favorable weather from now on there will be a vastly increased yield. They realized it was a duty they owed to humanity to produce all that they could on the land, not only this year but next as well. In addition to the patriotic aspect, they are aware that the more they produce the greater will be their own return tn dollars and cents. In many districts wheat seeding was completed by the 1st of May, after which date oats and barley on larger acreages than usual were planted. As has been said, favorable weather conditions made possible excellent seed-bed preparation, and the seed has gone into the ground In unusually good shape. The available moisture in the soil has been added to by rains, which have not been so heavy, however, as to Interfere long with the work In the fields. The grain is germinating readily, and on many fields the young green blades of the cereal are already showing An optimistic feeling prevails among farmers that Western Canada will reap a record harvest. If the season from now on is as favorable as It has begun, these hopes should be realized. Mr. J. D. McGregor of the Federal Food Board, who is also an old and successful farmer in Western Canada, asserted a few days ago at Calgary that crop conditions throughout the Prairie Provinces were excellent. "Speaking generally," he said, ,4the crops have never gone into the ground In better shape than this year, and with an even break of luck as far as the weather is concerned, there should be an enormous crop." His present duties In connection with the Food Control Board, taking him In all parts of the West, Mr. McGregor has exceptional opportunities of observing conditions all over the country.—Advertisement.

The Farmer's Share Live stock is marketed from farmer to consumer a t a lower cost than almost any other farm product. The United States Department of agriculture reported in 1916 that the farmer gets for his cattle "approximately two-thirds to three-fourths" of the final retail price paid by the consumer for the resulting beef. Under normal conditions, the farmer's share of retail prices of various farm products is approximately as follows: Butter 71 per cent CATTLE 662/3 to 75 per cent Eggs Potatoes Poultry Fruits 65 per cent 55 per cent 45 per cent 35 per cent The difference between farmer's price and retail price represents the necessary expenses of packing, freight and wholesale and retail distribution. Swift & Company not only performs the manufacturing operations of preparing cattle for market in its wellequipped packing plants, but it pays the freight on meat to all parts of the United States, operates 500 branch distributing houses, and in most* cases even delivers to the retail butcher. All mis is done at an expense of less than 2 cents per pound, and at a profit of only about ¼ of a cent per pound of beef, Large volume of business and expert management, make possible this indispensable service to the live-stock raiser and to the consumer, and make possible the larger proportion of retail prices received by farmers.

They Intend to bend every effort to have the new measure Include provisions which will allow not more than 20 per cent of the war profits to go into the pockets now claiming them. A speech by Senator Borah, Idaho, recently sounded the opening of the battle that will be made against excessive war profits. Tuesday he will call up his resolution calling on Secretary McAdoo to give the senate all information regarding swollen profits in possession of the treasury department. Senators to Back Borah. He will ask for immediate action on the resolution, so the senate may have ground work for its action in applying suitable taxation to the profiteers. A large number of senators are getting ready to back up Senator Borah in his demand for action against the profiteers. It will bring a renewal of the fight started last fall, when the revenue bill was being considered, when Borah, Johnson, of California, and other senators tried to have the excess profits and war profits scales revised upward. At that time they were unsuccessful, but now with the president openly supporting the issue, they believe they will have small trouble in wnning their fight. "I think almost anyone would admit that during times like these 20 per cent of war profits added to the normal excess profits Bhould be enough for any man to take as the profits of his business, Senator Borah continued. DESTROYER BUILT IN 17 DAYS Secretary Daniels 8ald the Average Time Before W a r Was 11 Months. Washington—The United States destroyer Ward was successfully launched at the Mare Island navy yard, California, 17 and a half days after her keel was laid. The nearest approach to this record was the launching of a 333 foot cargo vessel by the New York Shipbuilding company, Camden, N. J., in 27 days-. Before the United States went to war, Secretary Daniels said the average time for a destroyer on the ways was 11 months. The secretary termed the Mare Island record a remarkable one and declared that it probably would not be equalled for some time. As much structural work as possible for the Ward was prepared in advance ready for erection and assembling before the keel was laid. Bulkheads, sections of the keel, deckhouses, bridge structure and a section of the destroyer's stem were riveted up ready for assembling in place on the ways. Launching of 16 vessels on the Pacific coast, July 4, is planned, in response, to the appeal of Chairman Hurley, of the shipping board, to the country's shipbuilders, to celebrate Independence day with a heavy output of tonnage.

Baseball players, as well as jockeys, professional golfers and other professional sportsmen, General Crowder said today, will be affected by the regulations If strictly enforced. General Crowder said he did not desire to make specific rulings at this time and would make rulings only when cases came to him from local boards after July 1. Bulletin. Washington, May 23.—Theatrical performers have been excepted from the new draft regulations at the direction of Secretary Baker, who is said to feel that the people cannot do without all amusement in war time and that other amusements could be dispensed with more readily. Washington, May 23.—Habitual idlers, ball players, gamblers, bartenders, and many others are included in an edict Issued today by Provost Marshal General Crowder, providing that every man of draft age must work or fight after July 1, under a drastic amendment to the selective service regulations. All draft registrants engaged in what are held to be nonuseful occupations are to be haled before local boards and given their choice of a new job or the army. Gamblers, race track and bucket shop attendants and fortune tellers head the list, but those who will be reached by the new regulation also include waiters and bartenders, theater ushers and attendants, passenger elevator operators and other attendants of clubs, hotels, stores, etc., domestics and clerks In stores. Deferred classification granted on account of dependents will be disregarded entirely In applying the rule. A man may be at the bottom of class 1, or even In class 4, but If he fails within the regulation and refuses to take useful employment he will be given a new number in class 1 that will send him Into the military service forthwith. Local boards are authorized to use discretion only where they find that enforced change of employment would result In disproportionate hardship upon his dependents. May Solve tha Labor Problem. The statement of the provost marshal general's office is as follows: "Provost Marshal General Crowder today announced an amendment to the selective service regulations which deals with the great question of compelling men not engaged in a useful occupation immediately to apply themselves to some form of labor, contributing to the general good. The idler, too, will find himself confronted with the alternative of finding suitable employment or entering the army. "This regulation provides that after July 1, any registrant who is found by a local board to be a habitual Idler or sot engaged In some useful occupation shall be summoned before the board, given a chance to explain and, In the absence of a satisfactory explanation, to be Inducted Into the military service of the United States. "Any local board will be authorized t o take action, whether it has an original jurisdiction of the registrant o r Dot; In other words, any man loafing around a poolroom In Chicago may be held to answer to a Chicago board even thoagh he m&y have registered In •Hew Tors: and lived there most of his Ufa* t •Tfce regnlattont which apply to Idle tngtstraiita will be deemed to apply also to gamblers of all d******»tss» and telstfrvoyaoi™' 4 w%« 1st tssVaaiMee of -*.. maw "Tlie new regulation will also affect the following classes : "(a) Persons engaged in the aervl-g of food and drink, or either, in public places, including hotels aad social clubc "(b) l'ussenger elevator operators and attendants, doormen, footmen and other attendants of clubs, hotels, stores, apartment houses, office buildings and bathhouses. "(c) Persons, including ushers and other attendants, engaged and occupied in, and in connection with, games, sports and amusements, excepting actual performers in legitimate concerts, ox>eras or theatrical performance. "(d) Persons employed in domestic service. "(e) Sales clerks and other clerks employed in stores and other mercantile establishments. "Men who are engaged as above or who are idlers will not be permitted to seek relief because of the fact that they have drawn a later order number or because they have been placed in class II, ill or IV on the grounds of dependency. The fact that he is not usefully employed will outweigh bottt of the above conditions. To Extend N on useful List. "It is expected that the list of nonuseful occupations will be extended from time to time as necessity will require so as to include persons in other employments. "Temporary absences from regular employment not to exceed one week, unless such temporary absences are habitual and frequent, shall not be considered as idleness. Regular vacations will not be considered as absences In this connection. "The regulation further provides that where such a change of employment would compel the night employment of women under circumstances which a board might deem unsuitable for such employment of women the board may take such circumstances Into consideration in making its decision." General Crowder Explains Plan. Explaining the new regulation and the necessity for it, General Crowder said : "The war has so far disorganised the normal adjustment of industrial man power as to prevent the enormous Industrial output and national organization necessary to success. "There is a popular demand for organization of man power, but no direct draft could be imposed at present. "Steps to prohibit idleness and noneffective occupation will be welcomed by our people. "We shall give the Idlers and. men not effectively employed the choice between military service and effective employment. Every man, in the draft age at least, must work or fight. "This is not alone a war or military maneuver. It is a deadly contest of industries and mechanics. Must Copy German Machine. "Germany must not be thought of as merely possessing an array, we must think of her as being an army—an army in which every factory and loom in the empire is a recognized part in a complete machine running night and day at terrific speed. We must make of ourselves the same sort of effective machine. "It is not enough to ask what would happen if every man In the nation turned his hand to effective work. We must make ourselves effective. We must organize for the future. We must make vast withdrawals for the army and immediately close up the ranks of industry behind the gap with an accelerating production of every useful thing in necessary measure. How is this to be done? "The answer Is plain. The first step toward the solution of the difficulty. Is to prohibit engagement by able-bodied men in the field of hurtful employment, idleness or Ineffectual employment, and thus Induce and persuade the vast wasted excess Into useful fields. "The very situation we are now considering, however, offers great possibilities h. improvement of the draft as well as great possibilities for the composition of the labor situation by effective administration of the draft Considering the selective service law, we see two principal causes of detriment of the call to military service— exemption and the order numbers assigned by l o t "The exemptions themselves fall Into two conspicuous categories—dependency and Industrial employment One protects domestic relations, the other the economic interests of the nation. Between the two there Is an inevitable hiatus, for It Is demonstrably true that thousands, If not millions, of dependency exemptions have no effect of Industrial protection whatever. "One of the unanswerable criticisms of the draft has been that it takes men from the farms and from all useful employments and marches them past crowds of Idlers and loafers to tha army. The remedy is simple—to couple the industrial basis with other grounds for exemption and to reqalre that say _ mk pleading exemptlon'on any ground 'atHTnfflr Tike, Lahall alio show that ha U contribatthe n&UtimL tat effectlvsty to tha industrial waft. as IMdI Mle. rs.

During the past year there has been a greater demand for farm lands in Western Canada than for a number ot 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 ot 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-Increasing proportion* the men who are anxious to invest their money, and apply their energlee 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 yeurs 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 s a y s : "From inquiries made from leading] dealers In funning and ranching prop-* ertles, and from the Information gathered in other ways, it is known that the value of all land—wheat land,; mixed 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, ami another brought $100. These are, of course,; lar^e prices, but that they will be, equaled or even surpassed in the near future is beyond question. There Is a, feature about this rush to the land? from which the most solid hope can, be drawn for the success of the movement. The proper tillage of land, to produce large crops In a climate like ours is now understood and practiced' as it never was in the early days of the province. It would seem too that with the increase of land under cultivation, the seasons are changing and the rainfall becoming greater and more regular. "Crops are being harvested, especially in Southern Alberta, which would have seemed Impossible to the old-time fanner, with his old-fashioned Ideas of breaking and seeding. And at the price now set by the government for wheat and which possibly may be Increased during the coming season, thai return to the practical skilled agriculturist must necessarily be very large., "What matters $10 or even $20 an, acre extra on wheat land when a re* turn as high as 50 bushels and even! more may be taken from every acre sown? With hogs bringing $20 a hundred pounds; beef on the hoof at $12« and mutton $16, while wool under the new government arranged system ofi handling and sale brings 65 cents a pound (and these values cannot fall to any great extent for some years) * the demand for land will continue and values increase in a corresponding de* gree. "There has never been in the history) of Canada a time so favorable for tbtj farmer as the present; self-interest,, . the inspiration of patriotic feeling, task aid freely extended by the goversK^A ment, who are permitting the Import 7 of certain agricultural Implement* free, all •these tend to still further raise the price of Alberta land."—Ao> vertisement War and Birth Rates. In his recent presidential address to the Royal Statistical society, Sir Bernard Mallet declared that the United Kingdom has lost by the fall in births during the war more than -500,000 potential lives. Daring the same period he estimates that Germany has lost 2,600,000 and Hungary L5OO,000. The greatest decline in the birth rate in the central powers it ascribed to the fact that the poorer Classen In those countries have suffered greatly in health and vigor on account of the war, while the corresponding classes in Great Britain have actually enjoyed more favorable conditions than In time s i peace,—Scientific American.

Synopalav—Fired by the sinking ot the Lositanla, with the loss of American Uvea, Arthur Guy Empey, an American living in Jeraey City, goes to England and enlists as a private in the British army. After a ahort experience as a recruiting officer in London, be 1« 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. Erapey learns, as comrade falls, that death lurks always In the trenches. Chaplain distinguishes himself fcjy rescuing wounded men under hot fire. With pick and Khovel Eropey has experience as a trench digger In No Man's Land. Much attention is required by wounded men from the corps of doctors and nurses. On listening post detail. CHAPTER XIV—Continued. —JO— If a man Is killed he is burled, and the responsibility of the government ceases, excepting for the fact that his people receive a pension. But If a man its wounded It takes three men from .the firing line, the wounded man and two men to carry bim to the rear to tba advanced first-aid post. Here he Is attended by a doctor, perhaps assisted by two R. A. iL C. men. Then he Is pu% Into a motor ambulance, manned by a crew of two or three. At the field ihospltal, where he generally goes under an anesthetic, either to have his wounds cleaned or to be operated on, be requires the services of about three to five persons. From this point another ambulance ride impresses more men In his service, and then at the ambulance train, another corps of doctors, R. A. M. C. men, Red Cross nurses and the train's crew. From the train he enters the base hospital or casualty clearing station, where a good-alxed 'corps of doctors, nurses, e t c sre kept busy. Another ambulance Journey is next in order—this time to the hospital ship. He crosses the channel, arrives In Blighty—more ambulances and perhaps a ride for five hours on an English Red Cross train with Its crew of Red Cross workers, and at last he reaches the hospital. Generally he stays from two to six months, or longer, In this hospital. From here he Is sent to a convalescent home for six weeks. If by wounds he is unfitted for further service, be Is discharged, given a pension, or committed to a soldiers' nome for the rest of his life—and still the expense piles up. When you realize that all, the ambulances, trains and #hrps, not to mention the man power, used In transporting a wounded man, could be used for supplies, ammunition •and re-enforcements for the troops fit the front. It will not appear strange •that from a strictly military standpoint, a dead man Is sometimes better than a live one (if wounded). Not long after the first digging, party, our general decided, after a careful tour of Inspection of the communication trenches, upon "an ideal spot," as he termed It, for a machine-gun emplacement; took his map, made a dot on it, and as he was wont, wrote Mdig Ibere," and the next night we dug. There were twenty in the party, myself included. Armed with picks. shovels and empty sandbags we arrived at the "Ideal spot" and started digging. The moon was very bright, out we did not care as we were well iont of sight of the German lines* Ws had gotten about three feet 4own, when the fellow next to me, aft- «r a mighty stroke with his pick, let go lot tb* handle, and pinched Ms nose -with bis thumb and forefinger, at the jame time letting out the explosion, "Gott strafe ma- pink, I*m bloody weU •gassed, not *atf X ain't" I quickly turned in bis direction with an inquiring look, at the same Instant reaching for my gas bag.

Just then our cap- 4ala came along and investigated, but after about a minute said we bad bettar c a n y on with tbe digging, that he did not aee why w e . should hare •topped aa tbe odor was rery faint, W t If aeeeeaery be would allow us oof WtM helmets while digging. B e would * e y a s d ate tbe thing through, but be bad to report back to brigade head* We wished that bad alao bad a data .** at brigade headquarters. With our gas helmets on we again attacked that hole and uncovered the decomposed body of a German ; the pick was sticking In his chest. One of the men fainted. I was that one. Upon this our lieutenant halted proceedings and sent word back to headquarters and word came back that after we filled In the hole we could knock off for the night. This was welcome tidings to ua, because— Next day the general changed the dot on his map and another emplacement was completed the following night. The odor from the dug-up, decomposed human body has an effect which Is hard to describe. It first produces a nauseating feeling, which, especially after eating, causes vomiting. This relieves you temporarily, but soon a weakening sensation follows, which leaves you limp as a dlshrag. Tour spirits are at their lowest ebb and you feel a sort of hopelessness and a mad desire to escape It all, to get to the open fields and the perfume of the flowers In Blighty. There Is a sharp, prickling sensation in the nostrils, which reminds one of breathing coal gas through a radiator in the floor, and Entrance to a Dugout. you want to sneeze, but cannot This was the effect on me, surmounted by a vague horror of the awfulness of the thing and an ever-recurring reflection that, perhaps t sooner or later, would be In such a state and be brought to light by tbe blow of a pick In the hands of some Tommy on a Mtt*nt party. Sereral times I hare experienced this odor, but never could get need to It; tbe enervating sensation waa alwajaj present. It made me hate war and wonder why such things were countenanced by civilisation, and all the spice and glory of tbe conflict would disappear, leering the grim reality. Bat after leaving the spot and filling year lung* with deep breaths of pure, fresh air, you forget and once again want to be "up and at them." CHAPTIR XV. Listening Poet It was six in the morning when we arrived at our rest billets, and we were allowed to sleep until noon; that is. If we wanted to go without our breakfast For sixteen days we remained ta rest billets, digging roads, drtlliag, and other fatigue*, and then bade lata the front-Use trench. nothing happened that night, but 1be next afternoon I found not that a bomber is general utility wan La a section. About five o'clock in the afternoon our lieutenant came down the trench and stopping in front of a bunch of us on the fire step, with a broad grin on his face, asked: "Who is going to volunteer for listening post tonight? I need two men." It is needless to say no one volunteered, because It is anything but a cushy Job. I began to feel uncomfortable as I knew it was getting around for my turn. Sure enough, with another grin, he said: "Empey, you and Wheeler are due, so come down Into my dugout for Instructions at six o'clock." Just as he left and was going around a traverse. Fritz turned loose with a machine gun and the bullet* ripped the sandbags right ove'r his head. It gave me great pleasure to see him duck against the parapet. He was getting a taste of what we would get later out In front. Then, of course. It began to rain. I knew it was the forerunner of a miserable night for us. Every time I had to go out in front, it just naturally rained. Old Jupiter Pluvlus must have had It In for me. At six we reported for Instructions. They were simple and easy. AH we had to do was to crawl out into No Man's Land, lie on our bellies with our ears to the ground and listen for the tap, tap of the German engineers or sappers who might be tunneling under No Man's Land to establish a minehead beneath our trench. Of course. In our orders we were told not to be captured by German patrols or reconnoltering parties. Lots of breath Is wasted on the western front giving silly cautions. As soon as it was dark, Wheeler and I crawled to our post which was about halfwsy between the lines. It was raining bucketfuls. the ground was a sea of sticky mud and clung to us like glne. We took turns In listening with our ears to the ground. I would listen for twenty minutes while Wheeler would be on the qui vive for German patrols. We each wore a wrisrwatch, and believe me, neither one of us did over twenty minutes. The rain soaked us to the skin and our ears were full of mud. Every few minutes a bullet would crack overhead or a machine gun would traverse back and forth. Then all firing suddenly ceased. I whispered to Wheeler, "Keep your eye skinned, mate; most likely Fritz has a patrol out—that's why the Boches have stopped firing." We were each armed with a rifle and bayonet and three Mills bombs to be j used for defense only. I had my ear to the ground. All of a sudden I heard faint, dull thuds. In a low but excited voice I whispered to Wheeler, "I think they are mining, listen." He put his ear to the ground and in an unsteady voice spoke into my ear: Tank, that's a patrol and It's heading our way. For God's sake keep stllL" I was as s t d as a mouse and was scared stiff. Hardly breathing and with eyes trying to pierce the inky blackness, we waited. I would bare given a thousand pounds to hare been safely in my dugout Then we plainly beard footsteps and our hearts stood stllL A dark form suddenly loomed up tn front of me; it looked as big as the Woolworth building. I could bear the blood rushing through my veins and it sounded aa loud as Niagara fails. Forms seemed to emerge from the darkness. There were seven of them In all. I tried to wish them away. I nerer wished harder In my life. They muttered a few words in German and melted into the blackness. I dldnt stop wishing either. AH of 1 sudden we beard a stumble, a muddy splash, and a muttered "Don* ner und Blitzen." One of tbe Boches had tumbled Into a shell bole. Neither of us laughed. At that time—tt didn't strike us as funny. About twenty minutes after the Germans bad disappeared something from the rear grabbed me by the foot I nearly fainted with fright Then s welcome whisper In a cockney accent "I s'y, myte, we've come to relieve you." Wheeler and I crawled back to our trench; we looked like w«t hens and felt worse. After a swig of rum we were aeon fast asleep on the fire step In our wet eJetbea. The nest morning X w a s u stiff a e e poker and erery joint ached like • bad tooth, but I «V«L£ still all>v; BO If did not matter. CHAPTER XVI. Battery D 238. The day after this I received the glad tidings that I would occupy tbe uiachiue gunners' dugout right near the advanced artillery observation post This dugout was a roomy affair, dry aa tinder, and real cots in i t These cots had been made by tbe R. E.'a who had previously occupied the dugout I was the first to enter and promptly made a signboard with my name and number on it and suspended It from the foot of the must comfortable cot therein. In the trenches It is always "first come, first served," and this is lived up to by all. Two B. F. A. men (Royal Field artillery) from the nearby observation post were allowed the privilege of stopping In this dugout when off duty. One of these men. Bombardier Wilson by name, who belonged to Battery D '238, seemed to take a liking to me. and I returned this fee!lag. ID two days' t!nie we were pretty chummy, and he told me how his battery In the early dnys of the war had put over a *tunt on Old Pepper, and had gotten away with it.

M ' L U ) SUCH A SMART BROTHER But It Is Entirely Probable Sister Did Not Appreciate His Peculiar Form of Wit A young lady In Lake wood Is of the opinion that she Is grown up—In which opinion she Is not encouraged either by her parents or her older brother. She is fifteen, brother Is sixteen. She thinks that young men should be allowed to call on her in the evening; brother Jeers, parents shake their heads. Finally the girl's mother consented to her having a certain approved boy call, provided he carae on a Friday evening. And the excited damsel called the favored youth up on the phone and imparted the glad news. It is presumed that the young man (he was all of eighteen years old) spent a good deal of time at his toilet that evening— certainly the young lady took great care of hers. She was still primping when the swain rang the doorbell. Brother answered. "Ah," began tbe caller, clearing bis throat. "Is Miss Jones at home?" "Gome In," answered Brother, equivocally. Then he went to the foot of the stairs and called— "Molly ! Quit cuttlti' paper dolls an* come downstairs. One of your playmates wants to see you 1"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Always In.

At last the lady got np and called to the maid : "Did you tell your mistress I was here?" she asked. "Oh. no. miss," replied the girl quickly: "she hasn't returned from shopping yet."

GOVERNMENT OFFERS TO AID vW: Establishes Seed Com Reserve for Supplying Late Needs of Farmer*— Supply Can Be Had on Quick Notice. By P R O F . J. F. COX, Department of Farm Crops, Michigan Agricultural College. East Lansing, Mich.—As seasons go the present has probably been fraught with as many difficulties for the Michigan farmer as any he has ever been called upon to prepare for—and of these, seed corn troubles have been by no means the least. The one consoling feature about it all is rhat matters might have been worse, for as a result of the zealous efforts by state and national agencies, seed supplies have been unearthed and brought in from neighboring states. Otherwise, Michigan growers would many of them have had to go without. But while this foreign corn has been immensely better than no corn at all, some of it has not been of high quality, and the numb.er of fields iu Michigan which because of this . occasional germinabllity have failed to come up this spring is unusually high.. Very wisely, however, the federal department of agriculture, with which the college and the state seed committees have been co-operating, has anticipated this situation and established a corn reserve, where farmers who may need seed for replanting can secure it in a hurry with reasonable assurance that what they obtain will be something that will be fairly dependable. This reserve supply of seed corn is located at Toledo. Of course this city Is somewhat distant from many points ID Michigan, but the enterprise has been so well organized that corn can be supplied by express to individuals In almost any part of the state In two or three days at the most. A farmer, for instance, who concludw'after ten or twelve days that his oorn Is not coming up and decides to replant needs only to get in touch with his county agricultural agent and leave with him an order (and the cash) for the amount of seed needed. Or If the fanner resides in a county where there Is no agent, he can write direct to the corn reserve headquarters (A. J. Pleters, care R. T. Miles, 2009 Second National bank. Toledo). Where this is done, the checks should be made out to "Disbursing Clerk, United States Department of Agriculture." The corn itself must be ordered In two-bushel bag lots. An order can be sent In that is for two bushels, four bushels, six bushels, and so on, but not for three bushels or five bushels. This is because the bags hold two bushels. As a governmental enterprise, the corn is beinp sold at cost ($5.10 a bushel). Express charges on this should not run over 40, 50 or 60 cents a bushel to any of the corn districts in Michigan. • In some of the southern counties, replanting is already under way, but In many It will continue until the middle of June, and In some even Into the third week. Of course climatic and soil conditions vary appreciably In the different parts of the state—but this factor has also been anticipated aDd a number of different corn varieties provided. These varieties have been classified as A, B, C, D and E. "A" and "D" are types that will make good silage. In southern counties, and might be good for grain, while "B" and "C" are types especially adapted to Michigan. The varieties included under **fi" are mixed early and medium yellow dents. ' In detail, these differences are as follows: A. Medium Yellow Dent—Thia corn was grown In Delaware on light land and matures there in 100-UO days. As « grown In Delaware the ears are^about 7-9. Inches long, having' rather small cobs and shallow 'kernels. Staiks are of medium site and about 8-0 feet ,.: Jilgh. This, corn Is not of a pore type !f'-wot- rubs fairly even for common yel- :>"~%w corn. This corn Is thought by ex- *£i,7,"paTt» of the Ohio expe/iment station £*&*"•*> be suitable for the production of amr corn in Ohio. Indications are that on well-drained land and under favorable conditions It may mature in the pouthern tiers of counties in Michigan. Tor ensilage purposes in southern lfichigan this corn is probably superior to any other corn available this year from outside that state. ft. flfcriy Yellow Dent—This corn waa grown on very sandy land in Delatttapt- aad mature* there in 00-100 days. 1» Data**** tha a t * ft*» 64 toaaV afcvfa* small ante and %anMav b«t tt 4avaot a com. Stalks are Header,! about 7 feet high, This corn la uoc a pure type but is Variable as to color, size and tlintinesa. It is however, the earliest yellow dent corn available now in quuntlty. The fact that larger and )ater corn grows on the same soil as this early yeilow dent indicates that this corn is an early type. C. Early White Dent.—This is a flinty dent growing on sandy soil in Delaware atid of about the aam»» size and earliness as B, but the corn la white and uniform in color. D. Medium White Dent.—This is larger and somewhat later than O, and of about the size and earliness of A. It is uniform as to color but not as uniform as to type as is C, some ears having kernels that are quite flinty while on other ears they are not at all flinty. 8. Mixed Early and Medium Yellow Dent.—A number of cribs in Delaware contain mixtures of medium and early yellow dents. In most cases the prevailing type Is the medium dent with 10-50 per cent of early and flinty dent ears mixed with the larger corn. In some cases this mixture is mechanical after husking, but in many cases the two types grow (mixed) in the same held. A considerable part of this corn should make ear corn in southern Michigan and in northern Ohio in a favorable season, but it probably is especially suitable for ensilage corn. J" A Word of Precaution. ST wherein lies the reason for the use of vegetable preparations for infanta and children? Why are any hut vegetable preparations unsafe for infants and children ? Why are Syrups, Cordials and Drops condemned by all Physicians and most laymen ? Why has the Government placed a ban on all preparations containing, among other poisonous drugs, Opium in its variously prepared forms and pleasing tastes, and under its innumerable names ? These are questions that every Mother will do well to inquire about. Any Physician will recommend the keeping of Fletcher's Castoria in the house for the common ailments of infants and children. CALL HOUSEWIVES TOGETHER M. A. C. Plans Special Four-Day T r a i n i n g Schools in Food Conservation. East Lansing, Mich.—A special training school for the coaching* of women in the arts of food conservation will be conducted here from June 24 to June 28 and from July 1 to July -4—but while food conservation has become the usual thing in every patriotic home in the land, more than common interest attaches to plans for the "drilling" of the fair sex at M. A. 0. Special schools and camps without number have been established to fit men for their wartime duties, but thus far the coming courses are the only ones that have been provided for women. The "war schools" for the women will be conducted in two sections. The first of these, which will be opened at M. A. C. on June 24 and will continue until June 28, will be for women who have had at least two years of college training In domestic science, and for the women who are acting as county and district home economics leaders. The second school, which will be started on July 1, and will be in session until the morning of July 4, will be for every woman In the state who cares to enroll. Most of the four days' sessions will be devoted by the Instructors, who will he members of the home economics faculty of the "college, to demonstrations of canning and to discussion of phases of the food problem which have become of most common concern since the strictest economy in dining has become necessary. The short courses for housewives, housekeepers and other interested women will, however, be but one of the features of the summer term on the campus. Country clergymen and lavmen will convene July 6 to 16 for their annual conference and study of rural problems; boys' and girls' club leaders will come together for hve days, July 9 to 13; 500 specially selected army men will be coached In gas engine work, and in addition there will be the customary summer courses offered by the scientific, agricultural, domestic science, veterinary, engineering and other departments. . « • « ^ 7 INet Contents 15 fluid Dfac Qoo DROPS Bees Are Hit Hard. Heavy casualties were suffered by Michigan bees as a result of the severity of the past winter, according to a report given out by B. F. Klndig of M. A. C, state inspector of apiaries. At least 80,000 of Michigan's 200,000 colonies were either frozen or starved to death, Mr. Klndig estimates. Old and experienced beekeepers, however, were not among the heavy losers. Estimating roughly, the loss of 80,000 colonies means that something like 2.800,000.000 bees have succumbed in Michigan since last fall. An energetic campaign for the organisation of beekeepers into associations for-the promotion of the honey-producing industry is la progress, under the direction of the state inspector.

Si2u~ Surtape Uooter over Whicn MUk tinouna Be rourca wnon D r a w n , ana tne T a n k for Keeping Cans Cold. CONSERVE FOOD VALUE OF MILK Constantly Clean and Cold Is Formula for Making Best of This Product. SPOILED MILK VERY COSTLY Put Bottles In Refrigerator Minute After Milkman Leaves It at Door —Every Dalr,- Utensil Should Be Thoroughly Cleaned. One quart of spoiled milk costs more than 25 pounds of ice. That for persons who have to do with milk in small quantities—consumers. This for persons who have to do with milk In large quantitiesproducers : One ten-gnllon can of spoiled milk costs more than a thousand pounds of ice. Besides, this fact for both classes: Milk Is mighty good human food and Ice Isn't food at alt. There Is no possible argument In favor of wasting ice, as there Is no possible argument In favor of wasting anything. The creation of ice consumes coal and ammonia and other things needed toward winning the war. But there is the best possible argument in favor of making the best possible use of whatever ice is used and, since milk is probably the most important human food, taking Into consideration all classes of people from Infant to the aged, there IB every argument, not necessarily for using more ice In connection with It, but for using a good deal more care In seeing that the milk never gets very far from the Ice from the moment It Is drawn from the cow to the moment It enters the human gullet Spare the lco, but do not spare It at the expense of the milk. Muet Milk Lost. Every summer multiplied thousands of gallons of milk are lost—poured into sink and sewer and run with the rivers to the sea—because people are not careful enough about bringing the bottle in to the refrigerator immediately after the milkman leaves It at the door. Milk should be kept always at a lower temperature than SO degrees Fahrenheit Assuming that the man who milked the cow, the man who bottled the milk, and the man who made the delivery an did their part, all their eflort 1« W*ely to be thrown away It the bottle la left on a hot doorstep for tn hoot, or even half an hour. Get the milk on the lee the mtirata after the milkman leaves It at the door. And some rather keen eyes are open to see to It that the dairyman does hU part toward keeping the milk cool i s it should be from the time It is milked until It la delivered. With this artlde la a picture of a milk cooler that tfce United Statea department of agrteafc tvre recommends to—and urges upon r^the dairyman. The coldest water obtainable—iced water, preferably, hot, In the absence of that, water direct from a cold effing or weli-4s to he used In It and the milk. Immediately after It Is drawn from the cow, is to be poured ever the cooler. Front Asm to fifteen gallons of cold water It passed through the cooler for every gallon of milk cooled. The milk flows slowly over the cooler and is brought to within three degrees of the temperature of the water. Iced Water for Milk. After that the milk should go Into a cooling tank. The tank recommended by the department of agriculture is made with a two-inch layer of cork between two shells of four-inch concrete. Three gallons of iced water should be used for every gallon of milk that goes into the tank. All milk should remain in the tank until it is ready to ship, and It should be protected from heat during hauling with blankets or felt jackets. Every vessel that milk touches In any way—cooler, cans, palls and bottles— should be sterilized and kept clean. Constantly clean and constantly cold. That Is the formula for getting the full benefit of the milk supply. Even brief lapses from cleanliness and cold cause the bacterial count to multiply and the milk to deteriorate. ^miiMiiiiMiimiiiiiimiiimiiiiHMiuiniL § PORK PRODUCTION HINTS. = s A large, raw-boned sow, hav- : s ing plenty of capacity and Bize, : 2 but lacking in femininity and : 3S quality, Is one of the poorest In- : 2 vestments a breeder can make, : 5 for her pigs will be slow to de- • 5 velop, hard to fatten, and lack- « 2 Ing both in number and in unl- • 5 formity. : 5 The modern hog is a htghly : S specialized and efficient machine : = for the conversion of grain and j 5 roughage into edible meat, but j _ 2 to obtain the greatest efficiency, 2 2 to make the most pork from a 2 2 given amount of feed, to make 2 2 the best pork, and to make that 2 2 pork most economically, the ma- 2 2 chine must be kept running to 2 S capacity from birth to the time 2 2 of marketing.

POLISH TROOPS DRIVE 15,000 GERMANS BACK Field Marahal Von Hindenbury, Chid of the German General Staff Reported in Hospital W i t h Feyer. London.—The outstanding piece ol news in Sunday's official reports, all ol which show the armies in the west a.- "boiling up" for the big battle, Is tht claim, contained in Berlin's commun ique, that Americans were captures "west of Montdidier." It shows Pershing's units, which for sometime have been known to be on the Picardy front, are squarely fact to face with the spearhead of the Ger man wedge, threatening Amiens, and that when the next blow is struck by Hindenburg toward that great Allied base, American troops will be in the thick of Armageddon's third—perhaps final—round. Polish Troops Drive Germans Back. Moscow.—Attempts by the German? to disarm the Polish troops in the Ukraine and Minsk governments arti meeting with fierce resistance. The second Polish corps under Gen eral Makovitzky, stationed near Ka neff, in the government of Kiev, defied the German ultimatum to disarm within 24 hours, whereupon the Ger mans apologized, saying that the order was a misunderstanding. At midnight however, Germans attacked the corps, capturing one village. The Poles entrenched and battled against 15,000 Germans, causing con giderable losses among the enemy, but themselves suffering heavily. The fight continued for several days, when the Germans were driven back! losing a few pieces of artillery. Russian Prisoners Wrecks. Moscow.—One million of 3,100,000 Russian war prisoners held in Germany and Austria-Hungary are total invalids. In Germany there are 1,900,- 000 and in Austria 1,200,000. Half of the invalids are tubercular, most of them in the last stages- of that plague. Many of the remainder are suffering from other serious contagious diseases. Their return to Russia under present conditions is a great" problem on account of the lack of food, proper accommodations and medical assistance. The exchange of invalids haa been going on for some time. Hindenburg III W i t h Fever. Geneva, Switzerland—Field Marshal von Hindenburg, chief of the German general staff, is in a hospital at Strassburg, suffering from typhoid fever, according to reports from that city. These advices state that the report of Von Hindenburg'g death is incorrect, but that his condition is critical Typhoid fever is said to be spreading rapidly in the German army. Of late there have been various reports of the death of Field Marshal von Hindenburg. Some of those reports were given on authority of Ger. man prisoners on the western front.

PRESIDENT OPENS RED CROSS DRIVE FOR $100,000,000 IN NEW YORK ADDRESS ANNOUNC E PURPOSE OF U. 8. TO 8ET NO LIMIT ON M A N P O W E R . AMERICA WILL NEVER DESERT THE WEAK AND HELPLESS United States Will Not Be PI verted From fte Purpose ef Winning War By Insincere Peace Offere. New York—The peace offer* of Germany and her allies are mere maneuvers for advantage, of BO value because insincere. American will stand by Russia as well as France—it will never desert unity of feeling, sympathy and purpose Bach as 100 years of peace could not have brought. These were the sentiments and pledgee of Preeldent Wilson in his speech opening the campaign of the American Red Cross for $100,000,000. Text of Wilson's Speech. Mr. Chairman and fellow countrymen: I should be very sorry to think that Mr. Davison in any degree curtailed his exceedingly interesting speech for fear that he was postponing mine, because I am sure you listened with the same intent and intimate interest with which I ltstened to the extraordinarily vivid account he gave of the things which he had realized because he had come in contact with them on the other side of the waters. We compass them with our imagination; he compassed them in his personal experience, and I did not come here to review for you the work of the I UB Red Cross; I am not competent to do j and no man can afford to make a so because I have not had the time or | fortune out of this war. There are the opportunity to follow it in detail. I; men amongst us who have forgotten have come here simply to say a few j that, if they ever saw it. Seme of us words to you as to what it all seems i in the country are not old enough— to me to mean, and it means a great i am old enough—to remember men realise appreciate and admire; but their duty is the duty of force. The duty of the Red Crons is the duty of mercy and succor and friendship. Have you formed a picture in your imagination of what this war la doing for us and for the world? In my own mind 1 am convinced that not a hundred year* of peace could have knitted this nation together as this single year of war has knitted it together; and better even than that, if possible it is knitting the world together. Look at the picture. In the center of the scene, four nations engaged against the world, and at every point of vantage, showing that they are seeking selfish aggrandizement; and, agalnBt them, 23 governments representing the greater part of the population of the world drawn together Into a new sense of community of interest, a new sense of a community of purpose, a new sense of unity of life. Th« secretary of war told me an Interesting incident the other day. He said when he was in Italy a member of the Italian government was explaining to him the many reasons why Italy felt near to the United States: "If you want to try an interesting experiment go up to any one of these troop trains and ask in Emglish how many of them have been in America and see what happens." H« tried the experiment. He went up to a troop train and he said, "How many of you boys have been in Am erica," and he said it seemed to him as if haif of them sprang up: "Me frem 8an Francisco; me from New York; all ever." There was part of heart of America in the Italian army. People that had been knitted were fighting for their native Italy. Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together. And this intimate contact of he Red Cross with the peoples who are suffering the terrors and deprivations of this war is going to be one of the greatest instrumentalities of friendship that the world ever know, and the center of the heart of it all, if we sustain it properly, will be this land that we so dearly love. My friend, a great day of duty has come, and duty finds a man's soul as no kind of work can ever find it. May I say this? The duty that faces all now is to serve one another, deal. There are two duties with which we are face to face. The first duty is to win the war. And the second duty, that goes hand in hand with it, is to win it greatly and worthily, showing^ the real quality of our power not only, but the real quality of our purpose and of ourselves. Of course, the first duty, the duty that we must keep in the foreground of our thought until It is accomplish who made fortunes out of the civil war, and you know how they were regarded by their fellow citizens. That was a war to save one country—this Is a war to save the world. Government Accepts Nothing. And your relation to the Red Cross is one of the relations which will relieve you of the stigma. You can't give anything to the government of the United States; it won't accept it. ed Is to win the war. I have heard ((There is a law of congress against gentlemen recently say that we must accepting even services without price. get 5,000,000 men ready. Why limit it T h e o n l T t W a * h a t ^ 6 government to fi 000 000? i w i l 1 accept *t a loan, and duties per- I hare asked the congress of the Uni- loratxl; but it Is a great deal better ted States to name no limit, because ^ * I v e **** t o U n d o r t 0 W a n d y ° u r the congress intends, I am sure, as we * r e a t channel for giving is the Ameriall intend, that every ship that caa c a n R * d Cross, carry men or supplies shall go laden j Down in your hearts you can't take upon every voyage with every man and every supply she can carry. And, we are not to be diverted from the grim purpose of winning the war by any Insincere approaches upon the subject of peace. I can say with a clear conscience that I have tested those Intimations, and have found them insincere. Ijiow recognize them for what they arei an opportunity to have a free hand, particularly in the Sast, to carry out purposes of conquest and exploitation. Keeps Faith In Slavs. Every proposal with regard to accommodation in the west involves a reservation with regard to the east. Now, so far as I am concerned, 1 intend to stand by Russia as well as Prance. The helpless and the friendless are the very ones that need friends and succor; and if any man in Germany thinks we are going to sacrifice anybody for our own sake I tell them now they are mistaken. For the glory of this war, my fellow citizens, in-so-far as we are concerned is that it Is, perhaps for the first time in history, an unselfish war I could not be proud to fight for a > U that you caa spare, and don't con- '•:? selftah purpose, but I can be proud to fight for mankind. If they wish peace, let them come forward through accredited repreaentattves and lay their terms on the table. We hare laid ours and they know what they **•€. ^ Mest of World Against Foe. But behind all this grim purpose, my friends, lies the opportunity to demonstrate not only force, which will he gaaianstratad to the utmost, but the opportunity to demonstrate charsnd it is that opportunity that tv* m a * c—spkuousry in,too Of Ito fed Cross. Not that our efo sot rspjsssiit oar for tfejoy do, sad ft is a very much satisfaction, in the last analysis, on lending money to the government ot the United States, because the interest which you draw will burn our pockets; it Is a commercial transaction, and some men have even dared to cavil at the rate of interest, not knowing the incidental commentary that concentrates upon their atitu'de. But when you give—something of your hear, something of your soul, something of yourself goes with the gift, particularly when it is given in such form that it never can come back by way of direct benefit to yourself. You know there is the old cynical definition of gratitude, as "the lively expectation of favors to come." Well there is no expectation of favors to come in this kind of giving. These things are bestowed in order that the world may be a fitter place to live In, that men may be succored, that homes may be restored; that suffering may be relieved; that the face of the earth may have the blight of destruction taken away from it and that wherever "force goes, there shall go mercy and helpfulness. And when you give, give absolutely W'If:A. sider yourself liberal in the giving If you give with self adultation, you are not giving at all, you are giving to your own vanity; but if yon give until it hurts, then your heart blood foes into it. Foe Belittles Red Cross. And think what we have here. We eall it the American Red Cross, but it Is merely a branch of a great internatonal organisation which is not only rwoognlxed by the statutes of each tbo civilised governments of the world, bat It is recognized by International agreement sad treaty as the recognised -mad accepted Instrumentality of more/ sod succor. And oao of the despsst stains that roots upon the repof the Ooraaa aratf 1s they have not respected the Red Cross. That goes to the root of the matter. They have not respected the instrument they themselves participated in setting up as the thing which no man was to touch, because it was the expedition of common humanity. We are members, by being members of the American Red Cross, of a great fraternity and comradship which extends all over the world, and this cross which these ladies bore today is an emblem of Christianity itself. Women's Help Appreciated. It fills my imagination, ladies and gentlemen, to think of the women all over his country who are busy every night and doing the work of the Red Cross; busy with a great eagerness to find out the most serviceable thing to do, busy with a forgetfulness of all the old frivolities of their social relationships, ready to curtail the duties of the household in order that they may contribute to this common work that al ltheir hearts are engaged in and in doing which their hearts become acquainted with each other. When you think of this, you realize how the people of the United States are being drawn together into a great intimate family whose heart is being used for the service of the soldiers not only, but for the service of civilians, where they suffer and are lost in a maze of distresses and distractions. And you have, then, this noble pic» ture of justice and mercy as the two servants of liberty. For only where men are free do they think the thoughts of sympathy; only when they are free are they mutually helpful; only where they are free do they realize their dependence upon one another and their comradeship in a common interest and common necessity. Tells An Indian Story. I heard a story told the other day that was ridiculous, but it is worth repeating, because it contains the (truth. An Indian was enlisted in the army. He returned to the reservation on a furlough. He was asked what he thought of it. He said: "No much good; too much salute; not much shoot." Then he was asked: "Are you going back?" "Yes." "Well, do you know what you are fighting for?" "Yes, me know; fight to make whole damn world democratic party." He had evidently misunderstood some innocent sentence of my own. But after all, though there is no party purpose in it, he got it right, as far as the word "party;" to make the whole world democratic in the sense of community of Interest and of purpose, and if you ladies and gentlemen could read some of the touching dispatches which come through official channels, for even through these.channels there come voices of humanity that are infinitely pathetic; if you could catch some of those voices that Bpeak the utter longing of oppressed and helpless people all over the world to hear something like the Battle Hymn of the Republic, to hear the feet of the great hosts of liberty going to set them free, to set their minds free, set their lives free, set their children free, you would know what comes into the hearts of those who are trying to contribute all the brains and power they have to this great enterprise of liberty. I summon you to the comradeship, I summon you in this week to say how, much and how sincerely and how unanimously you sustain the heart of the world.

Here and there along the line there have been sudden blows at German positions and in all of them ground was captured by the Allies. The French have done the most of this work. On the front east and northeast of Locre, on the northern side of the Lys salient in northern France and just to the west of Kemmel, where some of the more intense fighting of the war has been going on, the French have advanced their line over a two-mile front. Far to the south, near Rheims, the French have advanced int othe enemy's positions as far as the third line of trenches.

Logan, has given her time and efforts .since the commencement of foreign hostilities to work for the afflicted of Hie present war. "I cannot rest, and will not, so long as strength is given me, for I know what sorrow and suffering is wrought upon the helpless by \yar," she said. It was in the spacious workroom at the top of her beautiful home in Washington that her visitor found her. It was not a sewing day, and instead of European work, Mrs, Logan was sitting at her desk absorbed In the perusal of letters, papers and books which related to the long past of her own life, to a war nearer home and to her participation In the events which made American history at a crucial period of this country's life, and It was of those things she was in a mood to talk. "I have been thinking of what the coming Memorial day must mean to us all," she said. "The survivors of the Civil war are rapidly passing off the stage of life, but those who yet remain from that time, and they who are following us, will see to it that homage Is done to those who paid the price of a nation's salvation. It is a duty we owe and It should never die. "This year, as we strew with flowers the graves of those who died for a just cause we cannot but think of the terrible cataclysm of suffering and death now overwhelming Europe, and the great range of memorial days which will be Its heritage ere long. "I prefer the name Memorial day to Decoration day, for although ours la a national holiday, it should not be forgotten that It is a day of national remembrance of the dead and ought to be observed with seemly quietude and dignity. I have been very much pained these later years to note that many of the younger generation have lost all sight of the original meaning of the day, and that in some places it Is celebrated by such diversions as "fcorse racing and other riotous sports which seem to be a very prostitution of the main idea of the occasion. "The Grand Army of the Republic has made strong protestations against the misuse of our national day of mourning for the soldiers who gave their lives for our country, and it Ts good to note that the Sons of Veterans, who are now filling the places of their fathers, take a very serious view of their duty In consecrating this one day to sacred memory and affectionate tribute to our soldier dead, and are carrying out appropriate programs at the various grounds where soldiers of the Civil war lie buried. "I can, too, say in all truth that Memorial day has brought forth a great harvest of worthily expressed sentiment the occasion having inspired men and women to utterance* of real eloquence, beautiful thoughts and true poetry, because the theme is worthy of the best that loyal hearts can feel and gifted tongues or pens express. "Yes, Decoration day was the thought and institution of General Logan, and I recall every detail of every Incident which led to its Inauguration. It was In March, 1868, that General Logan, redeeming a promise mad* during the election campaign of Grant and Colfax, made an engagement for himself and me to accompany his good friend, Col. Charles L. Wilson, edl* of the Chicago Journal, upon a visit to the city of Richmond and the battlefields of Virginia. The colonel, who was a bachelor, was accompanied by hit fiancee, Miss Tartar of Bottom. "General Logan wan then In eangrena, and matters of great important y^br ofo/zrrA/.gp&s^ and in consequence my husband could not accompany us. The colonel Insisted upon my taking my two children with us, although both were very small, my little boy, John A. Logan, Jr., a mere baby. However, he regarded the trip* in the light of an historic pilgrimage and felt that the children should see some of the battlefields over which distinguished generals had led their armies. "It was a cold, bleak day on which we arrived in Richmond, and the hotel was a desolate place of refuge. It afforded one of the evidences of the privations which the people of the Confederacy had suffered. These evidences were very plentiful throughout the city, as we later discovered. The vehicle which Colonel Wilson found for our conveyance for the drive to the battlegrounds nearby was a wretched carriage drawn by two miserably poor horses. The driver was the picture of dejection, and the small boy who served as footman was no better, and he shivered from head to foot with the cold. "As we drove over the battlefields we observed colored- people picking up the bullets and pieces of shell, shrapnel, minnle balls, bits of broken cannon and other Iron material. Foundries had set a price on this product, and It afforded quite a livelihood for a time to the poor about fortified cities and hattleflelds. "We visited the churchyards and cemeteries at Richmond and Petersburg made historic through the struggles which had taken place In and around those cities. There were a great many burial grounds In those neighborhoods, because, the glebes, which were land grants from England to the Episcopal church In America, had still existed as church grants at the time of the Civil war. and were used as burial grounds for the citizens and soldiers. "In the burying ground near Petersburg we saw many hundreds of graves of Confederate soldiers, and they nearly all bore a small, faded flag, and the dark, withered wreaths and remains of their floral decoration of nearly a year before. These mournful mementoes of the bygone tragedy of the South touched me deeply, and on our return home from the tour of the battlefields I told my husband of this tribute of the Southern men and women to their soldier dead. "General Logan reciprocated my feeling" as to the fitness of the sentiment expressed. He said that it was a revival of the ancient custom, for the people of ages past In old countries had performed the* rite of decorating the graves of their dead heroes with •flowers. He considered the matter for a time, and then said he did not see why it might not be revived in the case of the fallen Union soldiers. "General Logan, who was then commander la chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, decided that he would issue an order for the decoration of the soldiers' graves on the following 30th of May. Sending for General Chlpmaa, adjutant general of the Grand Army of the Republic, he dictated order No. 11 for the first dec* oration of Union soldiers' graves which ever took place in the United States. T h a t order It now read at Deeeratloa day caremoej place oter the graves «c Union who fought in the Civil war. It Is as follows," and Mrs. Logan picked out from the papers she had at hand and read : Headquarters, Grand Army of the Republic, Adjutant General's Office, 41tt HtJi Street, Washington, D. C . May 5, 1868. . GENERAL ORDERS, NO. 11. 1. The 30th of May, 1868, Is designated for the purpose of strewing flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died In defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie In almost every city, village and hamlet churchyard in the land. In this observance no form of ceremony is prescribed, but posts and comrades will, in their own way, arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect aa circumstances may permit. We are organized, comrades, as our regulations tell us, for the purpose, among other things, "of preserving and | strengthening those kind and fraternal ,' feelings which have bound together the i soldiers, sallora and marines who united to suppress the late rebellion." What can aid more to assure this result than by cherishing tenderly the memory of our heroic dead, who made their breasts a barricade against our country and its foes? Their soldier Uvea were the reveille of freedom to a race in chains, and their deaths the tattoo of rebellious tyranny In arms. We should guard their graves with sacr*i vigilance. All that the consecrated wealth and taste of the nation can add to their adornment and security is but a fitting tribute to the memory of her slain defender*. Let no wanton foot tread rudely on such hallowed grounds. Let pleasant paths Invite the coming and going of reverent visitors and fond mourners. Let no vandalism or avarice or neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or coming generations that we have forgotten as a people the cost of a free and undivided republic. If other eyes grow dull, and other hands slack, and other hearts cold In the solemn trust, ours shall keep It well aj long as the light and warmth of life remain to us. Let us, then, at the time appointed, gather around their sacred remains and garland the passionless mounds above them with the choicest flowers of springtime; let us raise above them the dear old flag they saved from dishonor; let us In this solemn presence renew our pledge to aid and aaslst those whom they have left among us, a sacred charge upon a nation's gratitude—the soldier's widow and orphan. 2. It is the purpose of the commander In chief to Inaugurate this observance | with the hope that It will be kept up j from year to year, while a survivor of the i war remains to honor the memory of his j departed comrades. He earnestly desires the public press 1o call attention to this order and lend Its friendly aid in bringing !t to the notice of comrades in all parts of the country In time for simultaneous compliance therewith. 8. Department commanders will use every effort to make this order effective. By order of JOHN A. LOGAN, Commander 1n Chief. N. P CHTPMAN, (Official) Adjutant General. WM. T. COLLINS. A. A. G. "The loyal people of the country \ took most kindly to the Idea," said Mrs. Logan, "and my husband's anticipations were fully realized by the observance of .the day in every state in the Union, the exercises being characterized by observations very much the same as those which take place today. "After many inquiries and some discussion it was decided that May 80 was probably the most appropriate day for the universal observance of the ceremony in every state In the Union, and General Logan finally succeeded in making the day a national holiday. MOn Memorial day there Is no distinction made between officers and men. Death, the great leveler, makes them all heroes alike, and plaudits and blossoms are distributed with equal generosity between the great generals and the privates. "There are few now living who wo* treat honors during fhe Civil war. All the great commanders of armies have passed away, and there are but few lift who commanded corps, divisions, brigades or regiments. The patriotic organisations who have so faithfully preserved the memory of their fallen comrades, are also ranch depleted in membership. It is therefore, to the men of the younger we must look to keep the mmnry of those who 6 * 4 (Conducted by the N a t i o n a l Woman'* Chribtian Teiuptriujee Union.) T H E WOMEN'S PETITION. In no better way can this great and significant petition be described than by quoting from the speech of Senator Jones of Seattle in presenting a copy of that notable document to the Unit* ed States senate. "A few days ago," he aaid, *'one of the most remarkable petitions ever prepared was presented to the president of the United Staeta, asking ia very respectful terms that he exercise the power that congress has given him and, as a war measure, prohibit the further use of grain and other food products in the manufacture of malt and vinous liquors. That petition was signed by many prominent women of this country of every class and occupation. It was signed by the representatives of all the big woman's organizations in the Country. It represented 6,000,000 of tht j atriot- 1c women of this country, of the most representative character, not only in their own persons but for those whom they represented us the officials of organizations of various kinds. This is distinctly a 'win the war' appeal by the patriotic women of this country, who are (loins everything in their power to brin^,' this war to a successful termination. The women of America are doing their part now, a;:> they have always done it in the history of the nation, and they presented the petition to the president as a war proposition. They believe the course suggested by them would havt? much to do with the winning of tin war, and as patriots, and not as parti' sans of any particular idea, they pre< eented it to him. "I think this Is the first time in the history of the temperance movement that all of the leading organizations of women have united in behalf of a particular proposition. They have all united in behalf of this one proposition and they are ail represented In the petition that was presented to the president. "This petition was prompted by that great organization, the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, and, in my Judgment, will take rank among the historic petitions of the world." Miss Gordon's statement to the president, the text of the petition, and every signature affixed thereto, was, at Senator Jones' request, printed in the Congressional Record, occupying more j than eight pages of that periodical, j NERVOUS PROSTRATION May be Overcome by Lydim E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound -*- Thia Letter Prove* It.

"Had I wanted to vote for liquor," said one of the members of the Mary* land legislature after that body had voted for ratification of the federul amendment, "I could have gut enough for my vote to have made me a rich man; many times a rich man." The only advantage the liquor Interests have over the advocates of prohibition In the ratification campaign is that they are not hampered by scruples in [ their choice of tactics pursued, com- J ments the Union Signal. It is with j them a life and death struggle, and apparently they will not hesitate to resort to any measures known to corrupt politics to gain their ends. The [ members of the state law-making bodies will be submitted to severe testa when it comes to a vote on ratification, and no candidate for the position of legislator should be considered nt the primaries by the friends of prohibition who has not demonstrated that he is absolutely incorruptible; who cannot show that he is rooted and grounded in the principle of prohibition and who in his ante-election pledge will not make a public promise regarding his attitude on the wet or dry question. Senator Ktmte Nelson of Minnesota told this story at a dinner party as an illustration of the old saying that appearances are sometimes deceiving : One afternoon a woman was walking through a suburban village when she noticed a, small boy leaning on a gate in front of one of the residences. The boy's attitude did not betray any great ambition. "I am surprised to see you standing here, my little man," said the woman kindly. "Why do you Idla wway your time on such a beautiful afternoon?" "I am not idling," defensively declared the boy. "I am working for a Thrift stamp." "Working for a Thrift stamp?" wonderingly responded the woman, who couldn't see any signs of labor. "Yes, nia'atu," returned the boy. "Mr. Smith is sitting on the verandn with sister, and lie told me that he would give me the price of a stamp if 1 would watch for father."—I'hiladel* phia Telegraph.

"Many Kansas tov^ns did not hare to send a single man to the first draft army. Their quotas had been more than filled by volunteers. "General Leonard "Wood, commander of Camp Fnnston, frequently has taken occasion to say In public addresses, that the standards of living In Kansas have not only Increased the efficiency of Kansas soldiers 25 per cent but that the prohibitory and other welfare laws of the state have made It comparatively easy to conduct a modal • n a y camp at Funaton.* There la hot ea» way at QtTttttfttt *m j&»*n ' : ; • # %?2A '••ym iV-t. f.7 PINCKNEY DISPATCH Qrand Trunk Time Table h o r U K tuiiYciiA-..,; .'-* res.lie:* g r a i n s E a s t i*46- ilo. 45—4:41 p.

On account of increased demand of A n t h r a c i t e coal for g o v e r n m e n t uses and the need of hard coal for industries engaged in war work in t h e East, the supply available f o r Michigan and o t h e r Western States will be limited.

As t h e whole m a t t e r is one of transportation and a, shortage existing in cars a n d motive power, the hard coal will not be equitably distributed over the country as i t should be. U n d e r the present zoning plan Michigan is denied P o c a h o n t a s coal.

Synopsis.—Fired by the sinking of «he Lusitaniu, with the loss of American lives, Arthur CJuy Empey, an American living in Jersey City, goes to England and enlists as a private in the British army. After a short exntrience as a recruiting officer in Loudon, 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 Empty's company is sent Into the front-line trenches, where he takes his first turn on the fire step while the buiiets whiz overhead. Empey learns, as comrade falls, that death lu,rks 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. nHted wrist watch—it was eleven o'clock. Before entering this trench, word was passed down the line, "no talking or smoking, lead off in single file, covering party first.'' This covering party consisted of 30 men. armed with rifles, bayonets, bombs, and two Lewis machine guns. They were to protect us and guard against a surprise attack while digging In No Man's Land. The communication trench was about half a mile long, a zigzagging ditch, eight feet deep and three feet wide. Now and again, German shrapnel would whistle overhead and burst in our vicinity. We would crouch against the earthen walls while the shell fragments "slapped" the ground above us. Once Fritz turned loose with a machine gun, the bullets from which "cracked" through the air and kicked up the dirt on the top, scattering sand and pebbles, which, hitting • our steel helmets, sounded like hailstones. Upon arrival in the fire trench an officer of the Royal Engineers gave us our Instructions and acted as guide. We were to dig an advanced trench two hundred j'ards from the Germans (the trenches at this point were six hundred yurds apart). Two winding lanes, five feet wlfle, had been cut through our barbed wire, CHAPTER XIII—Continued. We lined up in front of the baths, soaked with perspiration, and piled our rifles into stacks. A sergeant of the II. A. M. C. with a yellow band around his left arm on which was J'S. IV (sanitary police) in black letters, took charge, ordering us to take off our equipment, unroll our puttees and unlace boots. Then, starting from the right of the line, he divided us into squads of fifteen. 1 happened to be In the first sqund. We entered a small room, where we were given five minutes to undress, then filed Into the bathroom. In here there were fifteen tuns (barrels sawed in two) half full of water. Each tub contained a piece of laundry soap. The sergeant informed us that we had just twelve minutes In which to take our baths. Soaping ourselves all over, we took turns In rubbing each other's backs, then by means of n garden hose, washed the soap off. The water was ice cold, but felt fine. Pretty soon a bell rang and the water was turned off. Some of the slower ones were covered with soap, but this mnde no difference to the sergeant, who chased us into another room, where we lined up In front of a little window, resembling the box office in n *henter, and received clean underwear The woolen underwear issued was itching like the mischief. After eating our dinner of stew, which had been kept for us—it was now four o'clock—we went into the creek and had another bath. If "Holy Joe" could have heard our remarks about the divisional baths and army red tape he would have fainted at our wickedness. But Tommy is only human after all. I just mentioned "Holy Joe" or the chaplain in an Irreverent sort of way, but no offense was meant, as there were some very brave men among them. There are so many Instances of heroic deeds performed under fire in rescuing the wounded that it would take several books to chronicle them, but I have to mention one instance performed by a chaplain, Captain Hall by name, in the brigade on our left, because it particularly appealed to me. A chaplain is not a fighting man; he is recognized as a noncombatant and carries no arms. In a charge or trench raid the soldier gets a feeling of confidence from contact with his rifle, revolver, or bomb he Is carrying. He has something to protect himself with, something with which he can Inflict harm on the enemy—In other words, he is able to get his own back. But the chaplain Is empty-handed, and is at the mercy of the enemy If lie encounters them, so It Is doubly brave for him to go over the top, under fire, and bring in wounded. AJso a chaplain Is not required by the king's regulations to go over In a charge, but this one did, made three trips under the hottest kind of fire, each time returning with a wounded man on his >nck. On the third trip he received .! bullet through his left arm, but never sported the matter to the doctor until late that night—Just spent his time administering to the wants of the woundd lying on stretchers. The chaplains of the British army are a fine, manly set of men, and are greatly respected by Tommy. but, at the time, didu't notice it; my journey was too urgent. When the roll was called we found that we had gotten It In the nose for 63 casualties. Our artllJery put a barrage on Fritz' front-line and communication trenches and their machine-gun and rltie fire suddenly ceased. Upon the cessation of this fire, stretcher bearers went out to look for killed and wounded. Next day we learned that 21 of our men had beea killed and 37 wounded. Five men were missing; lost in the darkness, they must have wandered over into the Gerniaja lines, where they were either killed of captured. Speaking of stretcher bearers and wounded, it 1B very hard for the average civilian to comprehend the enormous cost of taking care of wounded and the war In general. He or she gets so accustomed to seeing billions of dollars in print that the significance of the amount is passed over without thought From an official statement published In one of the London papers, It Is stated that it costs between six and seven thousand pounds ($30,000 to $35,- 000) to kill or wound a soldier. This result was attained by taking the cost of the war to date and dividing it by the killed and wounded. It may sound heartless and inhuman, but it is a fact, nevertheless, that from a military standpoint it Is better for a man to be killed than wounded. Empey tells of many ways the soldiers have of amusing themselves, in the next installment. (TO B E CONTINUED.) IRREPARABLE LOSS TO WORLD Literary Treasures Destroyed by th« Huns at Louvain Can Never Be Replaced. No reparation can restore to the world the galleries where Charles V., ruler of almost nil Europe, pored over old learning, asserts the Toronto Mall and Empire. There is no way to replace the 250,000 manuscripts which went up In smoke and ashes on Aug. 27. 1914. Mankind Is permanently >oorer by the destruction of complete sets of all sixteenth-century editions of Virgil, nineteen sixteenth-century editions of Torrence, ten of Sallust, complete sixteenth-century editions of Tacitus, Seneca, Martial. Ovid, Horace, Juvenal, Llvy, Lucretius, Luclan, Cicero and Caesar. Rare copies of Aristotle and the Imperishable Greeks are lost forever; priceless early Bibles, whole libraries of ecclesiastical history and civil laws, texts illuminated and nltialed and bordered by the patient labor of Spanish. German and Lowland monks. "Here was the truth regardng the Spanish Conquest and the grip of the Inquisition." There were math* ematlcal treasures also. A Bathroom at the Front and towels. From here we went into the room where we had first undressed. Ten minutes were allowed In which to get Into ©or "clabber." My pair of drawers came up to my chin and the shirt barely reached my diaphragm, but they were clean—no atranffers on them, so I was aatiafled. At the expiration of the time allotted we were turned out and finished e t f dreaming on the grass. W i t * a* of the company had bathed IMHaa ***** *t march back to billets, wma the amy. We were eaverad with CHAPTER XIV. ' Picks and Shovels. I had not slept long before the sweel voice of the sergeant Informed that "No. 1 section had clicked for another blinking digging party." I smiled to myself with deep satisfaction. I had been promoted from a mere digger to' a member of the Suicide club, and was exempt from all fatigues. Then came an awful shock. The sergeant looked over in my direction and said : "Don't you bomb throwers think you are wearing top hats out here. 'Cordin' to orders you've been taken up on the strength of this section, and will have to do your bit with the pick and shovel, same as the rest of us." I put up a bowl on my way to get my shovel, but the only thing that resulted was a loas of good humor on my p a r t We fell In at eight o'clock, outside of our billets, a sort of masquerade party. I was disguised as a common laborer, had a.pick and shovel, and about one hundred empty sandbags. The rest, about two hundred In alL were equipped likewise: picks, shovels, sandbags, rifles and ammunition. The party moved out In column of fours, taking the road leading to the trenches. Several times we had to string out In the ditch to let long-columns of limbers; artillery and supplies get past The marchimg, under these coaeH* tions, was nsvaasarUy stow. Upon ar* rival at the eatramoi ta the r — s l I laefcad at say IBaaaV Trench Digging. for the passage of the diggers. From these lines white tape hud been Inid on the ground to the point where we were to commence work. This In order that we would not get lost In the darkness. The proposed trench was also laid out with tape. The covering party went out first After a short wait two scouts came back with Information that the working party was to follow and "carry on" with their work. In extended order, two yards apart, we noiselessly crept across No Man's Land. It was nervous work; every minute we expected a machine gun to open fire on us. Stray bullets "cracked" around us, or a ricochet sang overhead. Arriving at the^ taped diagram . of the trench, rifles slung around our shoulders, we lost no time in getting to work. We dug as quietly as possible but every now and then the noise of a pick or shovel striking a stone would send the cold shivers down our backs. Under our breaths we heartily cursed the offending Tommy. At intervals a star shell would go up from the German lines and we would remain motionless until the glare of its white light died o u t When the trench had reached a depth of two feet we felt safer, because It would afford us cover in case w« were discovered and fired on. The digging had been in progress about two hours, when suddenly heil seemed to break loose in the form of machine-gun and rifle fire. ^~ We dropped down on our bellies in the shallow trench, bullets knocking up the ground and snapping In the air. Then shrapnel butted in. The music was hot and Tommy danced. The covering party was having a rough time of i t ; they had no cover; just had to take their medicine. Word was passed down the line to beat it for oar trenches. We needed no urging; grabbing our tools and stopping low, we legged it serosa No Man's Land.

I First Irish Coaching Company. In 1815, an Italian, named Bianconl, started the first coaching company in Ireland, running long cars over various regular routes. Long cars soon became the safest and most reliable means of traveling over Ireland, and Bianconi turned rich and prosperous. Writing in or about 1842, Mr. and Mrs. Hall, who have written much of Ireland, tell us that "persons of the highest respectability" used the long cars for traveling. At this time, although these cars passed through 128 towns, they had not made their way Into the north of Ireland. The cars varied considerably in size, requiring from one to four horses. The fare, even over the rockiest roads in the West, was twopence farthing a mile. The Halls carefully explain that passengers were provided with "dry n 1 comfortable horsehair cushions and aprons" and that. In wet weather, the long cars never Journeyed more than two stages wlthou7 changing the cushions. Eucalyptus Valuable Tree. . Eucalyptus will grow under many adverse conditions, eo long as they are protected from frost The young trees cannot stand frost and this fact has restricted the growth of the species to certain favorable sections of California and the Southwest On the other hand, the trees will thrive oa very poor soil and they do not require very much attention. Some of the largest commercial plantation*, maintained by railroad companies for tlenmking purposes, are located along tbs snores of the Pacific ocean near Saa Diego, where their principal moisture comes from the heavy fog* that roll la from the sea, and which are absorbed by the leaves. ^Spoiled the Qoad Thing.

Without good red blood a man has a weak heart and poor nerves. In the spring is the best time to take stock of one's condition. If the blood, is thin and watery, face pale or pimply, generally weak, tired and listless, one should take a spring tonic. One that will do the spring housecleaning, an old-fashioned herbal remedy that was used by everybody nearly 50 years ago is still safe and sane because it contains no alcohol or narcotic. It is made up of Blood root Golden Seal root Oregon Grape root Queen's Toot, Stone root, Black Cherry barkr-extracted with glycerine and made into liquid or tablets. This blood tonic was, first put out by Dr. Pierce in ready-to-use form and since then has been sold by million bottles as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. If druggists do not keep this in tablet form, send 60 cents for a vial to Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N? Y. Kidney disease carries away a lajcge percentage of our people. What Is to be done? The answer Is easy. Eat less meat, eat coarse, plain food, with plenty of vegetables, drink plenty of water between meals, and take an uric acid solvent after meals for a while, such AS Anuric (double strength), obtainable at almost any drug store. It was first discovered by Dr. Pierce. Most every one troubled with uric acid finds that Anuric dissolves the uric acid a*s hot water does sugar.

AIRCRAFT DIVISION SEPARATE Promotion* for Bliss and March said to Have Become Neceaaary for the Conduct of the War. Washington—President Wilson mad> nominations which will provide the United States army with three officers of the high rank of general. He also separated th© aircraft division from the signal corps before the ink wac dry on his signature to the Overman bill, which provided authority for the latter step. Major-General Peyton March was named to be chief of staff. The office carries the rank of full general. General March has been serving as acting chief of staff since Major- General Taaker H. Bliss went to Europe. General Bliss was nominated to be brevet general and designated as permanent representative Of the United States on the inter-Allied war council which meets at Versailles. General John J. Pershing, as commander- in chief of the American expeditionary forces, already has the rank of full general. The promotions for March and Bliss are said to have become necessary on account of the constantly increasing responsibility of American commanders for the conduct of the war. Two other nominations are of extraordinary interest, as they directly concern the national army. They are: Brigadier-General Frank W. Coe, national army, to be chief of coast artillery with the rank of major-general. Brigadier-General John D. Barrette. national af"my, to be brigadier general in the regular army. In the reorganization of the aircraft, department, Major-General W1I. Ham L. Kenley is designated by the president as director of military aeronautics. John D. Ryan, the recently appoin*. ed chairman of the aircraft board, has been made executive officer of the bureau of aircraft production. Major-General George O. Squior, who has exercised general authority over aircraft matters until now, will in the future confine his activities to the signal corps. ROADS TO SPEND $937,961,318 Michigan Lines Well Taken Care of in Allotments for Year. • » \ ' ^ > ~ Washington—Railroads under government operation this year will spend nearly $1,000,000,000 for additions, betterments and equipments, or approximately three times as much as in any one of the last three years. Total capital expenditures approved by the railroad administration as announced are $937,961,318. Of this sum $440,01,000 will be spent for additions and betterments, $479,- 686,000 for equipment and $18,203,000 for track extension. The figures disclose Director General McAdoo's determination to let the railroads make many improvements which they had neglected during the last three years. Extensions, however, are not encouraged. The railroad administration eliminated $349,247,000, or nearly one-fourth of the railroad's proposals. The following allotments were made to Michigan lines: Michigan Central, $20,027,000; Per* Marquette, $8,419,000; Ann Arbor, $2,- 078,000, and Detroit Terminal, $356,- 000. TROLLEYS CRASH; MANY INJURED Head-on Collision With Packed Crowd Due to Split Switch. Detroit—Head-on collision between a Grand River and a Myrtle street car at Michigan avenue and Griswold street injured 21 persons about 10 minutes after the Patriotic fund parade had pasted the city hall Sunday afternoon. At least four of the victims are seriously injured. The street cars, both loaded with home-goers from the parade crowd, were crossing Michigan avenue in op* poaite directions, the Myrtle c a r going south and the Grand RiTer-Jefferson north when the t r e a t trucks of the Grand River car took the switch a t Michigan, swinging the heavy c a r and trailer into the front of the light Myrtle car.

Don't Be Afraid of Your Meals Take "Eatonic" and Laugh At Stomach Troubles H. L. Kramer, the man who originated Cascarets, has discovered a sure, safe, quick-acting relief for bad stomachs. He named it EATONIC for your stomach's sake. You can cat anything you like now and digest it in comfort, for stomach ease is positively assured if you eat an EATONIC tablet regularly after each meal. EATONIC acts directly with t h e food the moment it enters the stomach. It immediately checks any tendency toward too much acid and enables the food to pass from the stomach into the bowel in a sweetened condition, and thus prevents the formation of sour distressing gases that upset digestion and cause a bloated, dull, lumpy feeling that makes your POOD REPEAT. EATONIC enables you to eat your fill and laugh at Indigestion, dyspepsia, heartburn, "sour stomach" and all the other bugaboos of "the-man-afraidof- his-stomach." Kramer says: "EATONIC should be In every home ready for use after every meal. An EATONIC tablet will aid you naturally to easily digest and assimilate—your food can be thoroughly enjoyed without the slightest danger of misery from acid stomach. I strongly advise every one to take EATONIC after meals. To correct bad stomachs and keep them In perfect condition, It is a most wonderful discovery." If EATONIC fails to give you prompt stomach relief, your money will be refunded : 50c buys a large box at any drug store. Or write to Eatonlc Remedy Co., 1018 S. Wabash Ave., Chicago, U. S.

I am feeling well and like army life real well, even though we have considerable work to do. I have gained 23 pounds since I have been in the army. I like this camp real well. We have nice barracks to live in—all kinds of conveniences, but at Kelly field near San Antonio we had only tents to, live in and couldn't tell five minutes before when a sand storm would come. Kelly field covered about 14,000 acres and had 200,000 soldiers tbere when I left, on the 15th of March. There are four large flying fields there numbered 1—2 3—4, and the aviators work their way up beginning at No. 1. They have three thousand machines there. This is not an aviation field, it is « Concentration Camp and Supply Depot. That is we are held here until «they want us "over there," and in the meantime they equip us with every thing that is needed for over seas service. I have no idea how long it will be helore we are taken over but I am ready to corny time* Sanding my beat regard to all remain, ^ ^_ Years sincerely, Walter CUntoa. 617 Aero Sqda.

GOLDEN T E X T - H e shall guide you Into all the truth.—John 16:13. f. Jesus Officially Presented to the Jewish Nation ae King (rv. 1-11). This should not be designated the "triumphal entry," for It was only In outward appearances. The shouts were empty and meaningless. It was the promised King publicly offering himself to the nation. 1. The preparation (vv. 1-C). (1) Two disciples sent for the ass (vv. 1-3). He told them Just where to go to find it, and how to answer the owner's Inquiry. This shows how perfectly the Lord knows our ways. His matchless gaze beholds all that we think or do, by day or night. It also shows that God uses unlikely and Insignificant things In the accomplishment of his purposes. The providing of this animal was the working out of the Divine plan according to Christ's foreknowledge. (2) Obedience of the disciples (vv. 4-6). Without asking why, they go at his bidding. The command may have seemed strange and unreasonable, but they rendered explicit obedience. The true disciple will render full and glad obedience, no matter how strange or unreasonable the command may seem. 2. The entry Into the city of Jerusalem (vv. 7-10). (1) The disciples put their garments upon the ass and net the Lord upon it (y. 7). This net showed their recognition of him as their king (2 Kings 9:13). (2) The multitude. Some spread their garments In the way; others who had no garments to spare, cut down branches and strewed them In the way, which was just as acceptable unto him. To give what we have and do what we can, Is all that the Lord.demands of tls. This entry was In fulfillment of a prophecy uttered some five hundred years before (Zech. 9:9). (3) The Lord's action (v. 10). Upon entering the Temple, he looked around upon all things; but as It was eventide he withdrew to Bethany with the twelve. II. Jesus Exercising His Royal Authority (w. 12-19). 1. The barren fig tree cursed (vr. 12-14). The fig tree is typical of the Jewish nation. The fruit normally appears on the fig tree ahead of the leaves. Hie presence of leaves is the assurance of fruit This was an acted pcrabJe of the Lord's Judgment on Israel for pretension of being the chosen people without the fruits thereof. It Indicated the spiritual state of the Jews. 2. The Temple cleansed (w. 15-19). For the various sacrifices In the Temple, many oxen, sheep and doves were needed. Many persons came from the distant parts of the land; therefore it was impracticable for them to bring their sacrifices with them, so they brought money and bought the animals needed. This privilege the law had granted to them (Deub 14:24-26), for the exchange was necessary. When evil men used it as an opportunity for gain, It became an offense before God. It defiled his house. He made himself a scourge of cords, and drove out the money changers, overthrowing their tables and ponring onr their money. By this act he declared himself to be the Lord of the Temple and one with God- That which God Intended to be a house of prayer for nil nations was being made a "den of thieves," HI. Jews' Authority Challenged (rt. 27-38). They challenged him to show by what anthority he accepted the honors of the Messiah, and who gave him the authority to cast out the. moneychangers. Thta placed Jesus In a dilemma. H* responded by t question which placed them in a cottater-dUea* AMERICAN ARMY HELD IN RESERVE ALUE8 DECIDE TO LET U. 8. ASSEMBLE HUGE FORCES FOR FINAL BLOW. CONFIDENT OF HOLDING EMENY If Present Plans Are Carried Out American Forces Will Go into Fray As a Separate Unit Ottawa—So confident is the Entente of its ability to withstand* any drive the Germans can launch It has been decided not to use the American army until it becomes a complete and powerful force, according to a cable summary of operations on the western front received here from the war committee of the British cabinet. The dispatch points out that the German drive with greatly superior numbers has been halted by the allies without the necessity of calling on great numbers of reserve troops as the German command has been compelled to do. It states that the Teuton reserves are nearly exhausted while the allied forces held In reserve are ready to meet any new blow of the enemy, wherever it may fall. "The position now Is," said the summary, "the Germans, determined to concentrate every available unit on one enormous offensive, are draining their country dry to force a decision before it is too late, while the Entente is so confident that, having been given the choice of a small Immediate American army for defense or waiting till they are reinforced by a complete, powerful, self-supporting American army, has chosen the latter." American Units to Be Distinct. Washington—News of the British statement that the Entente la so confident of its ability to hold the Germans that the American army is not to be used until it becomes a complete and self-supporting force was received by army officers here with frank delight. They are pleased, not only because of the supreme confidence indicated by such a decision, but on account of the keen desire of American military men to take the field against the enemy as a distinctly American force. Under the old plan of filling up the British and French gaps with Ameri can reserves, the Americans were being equipped and supplied by armies to which they were attached. If that plan is changed, the Americans now going overseas as fast as ships can be provided to carry them will march to the front as soon as their training behind the lines is completed, as an American army, a new and powerful force to play a part of driving the Germans back across their own borders. DRAFT HASTAKEN 1,300,000 MEN Expected Army Will Reach Strength of 3 Million Within Year. Washington—More than 1,3000,000 men have been called in the draft so far and either are in France, in camp, or under call to go into service before June 1. The total of 1,300,000 includes all men summoned in the May contingent There is every Indication that even a larger increment will be summoned in June than was summoned in May and a progressive monthly mobilization continue through the summer and fall months as the cantonments are expanded. It is expected that at such a rate the army will reach a full strength of well over 3,000,000 within the next 12 or 13 months. It is possible, some officers say, that the number will be closer to 6,000,000 than 3,000,000. ARMY COUNCIL DROPS MAURICE Accuser of Lioyd George la Retired Because of Public Statement*, London—Gen. Sir Frederick B. Maurice, former director of military operations, has been retired by the army council. The council considered Gen. Hanrice's explanation of the breach of regulations he committed by writing and causing the publication of the letter Questioning the veracity of Premier Lloyd George and Chancellor Bona* Law, and deckled that he should he placed at onee op retired pay.

IS ON "THE RUN" Planting of Clean Bean Seed This Spring Will Rid Crop of Disease, Pathologist Says. THOROUGH PICKING HELPFUL Careful Removal of All Stained and ^Blotched Beans From the 8eed Stock Lessens the Danger. ^,-¾^ I *-.. • # , - • By DR. Q. H. COONS, Plant Pathologist ML A. C. Experiment Station. East Lansing, Mich,—Michigan bean growers have experienced two disastrous seasons In which weather conditions have practically* cut in two crops grown at great expense. Before 1016 and 1917 plant disease, and especially anthracnose, had year after year brought enormous loss to the growers In many sections, and In some districts crop failure. To this dismal condition must be added the damage prought about in the fall of 1917 by the rainy period which caught nearly the entire crop while it was still piled In the field. As a result the beans that were produced were in the bulk of cases greatly lessened In value by "ground rot." Where farmers lacked facilities for spreading out the wet crop to dry, beans that picked 40 pounds tq the bushel were not uncommon. Naturally under such conditions of moisture countless bushels have become musty. , Combined with certain vagaries in the price, these losses have caused many growers to question the advisability of longer clinging to this crop. A national problem of grave importance is wrapped up in this matter. But discussion of the diseases of beans and not of acreage, the price of seed and the California competition Is the province of this article, though undoubtedly these questions must be decided on a sound business basis, in which true patriotism and a desire to obey the call of the country must be paramount considerations. ! What may the farmer expect In the way of bean diseases in IBIS? To begin with, plant diseases are not caused by the weather. This has been said so often that It has become an old story to many farmers, but there are still many others who, seeing the direct relation between weather and disease epidemics, blame the whole matter on rainy seasons and stop there. If the trouble stopped there this article would not be written, for no one has yet found a way to control the weather. There Is, however, another side to be considered. The "nigger in the woodpile" in this case happens to be a germ. Plant diseases are caused by germs, and the weather is concerned only In so far as it aids In the growth and spread of these germs. Take bean anthracnose for example. Here we are dealing with a disease carried in the seed to the field and brought above the ground when the first seed leaves* push out. Rain serves to carry the disease down the stalk to the young unfolding leaves, and rain also serves to wash the germs from the leaves to the pods and from plant to plant The transfer of bean anthracnose, aside from that which comes from cultivating beans while wet, and so forth, is wholly a matter of how far the rain can splash. If beans are grown In a greenhouse and irrigated instead of E&^watered, they can he grown with absoutely clean pods—a point which Is SK ''fnentJoiied to show that rain does not came anthracnose, but merely spreads It- Without the germ there would be no disease. And so with other bean diseases. They are seed-borne and greatly Influenced by the rainy weather. Yet without the germ the weather could be whatever it pleased without any danger of its ever making the beans blighted or spotted. It Is this last statement which gives us justification for making predictions for 1818. A farmer will certainly have disease In his fields If he plants diseased stock.- If he can get "diseasefree*' seed—then he win have no trouble. The matter is not so simple as it sounds, for the problem is to get dis- Probably there Is not • boatoel of seed absolutely free from la Michigan. AH the farmer can do Is to try to secure "disease a gotoesi shows heavy infestation from anthracnose, and in fact many are totally free. Anthracnose is in retreat, but if wet weather keeps up this year it can make a stand and Intrench itself as firmly as ever. The present is an ideal time to get rid of the old enemy. It Is wholly an individual problem. If I were going to plant beans this spring I would get seed stock free from weathered beans and as clean and dry as possible, and then I would have it picked to absolute cleanliness. Every bean should be looked at and all with spots or stains should be thrown out The women in the home who huve registered for war service can do no better work than this. Jt is true that there still will be a little blight left in the seed and the crop may show some leaf trouble, but with the ordinary clean sample, such as grown last year, close picking will absolutely remove anthracnose. DAIRYMEN FACE PROBLEM A* a result of the last two dry, tfct percentage of antfcraeredixed, to that Judging of tam fatyaid fug ute» oy the niitiuun* of fcotaay It ^as^tJMUue<emtsupi|litat» Milk Surplus Is on Increase, Chiefly Due to Lack of Shipping 8 pace. By J. A. WALDRON, Extension Agent in Dairying Michigan Agricultural College. Bast Lansing, Mich.—Of problems which confront the dairymen of Michigan none, perhaps, Is causing more general concern at the present time (May and June) than the apparently ever-increasing surplus of milk. Even questions of feed, supply and prices have at least for the time being become secondary to it. This surplus of milk and dairy products, according to those who have looked into the matter, is mostly attributable to a dearth of shipping facilities, which is cutting us off from the European markets, where the shortage of necessary butterfat products is more acute even than is the oversupply of them on this side. Warehouses of the condensaries, and storehouses on the eastern seaboard, are consequently full to overflow. What this means to the producer of milk it doesn't require much Intuition to guess. The experiences of dairymen near Portland, in Ionia county, are typical of what is happening In numerous other parts of the state. This district was. supplying about 19,- 000 pounds of milk dally to a Grand Ledge condensary, but during the last ten days in April (and this state of affairs may still be existing) the condensary bad to turn this milk back. The company would like to have taken the milk and stored it until the finished product began to move, but it lacked the capital necessary to enable it to do this—and many other of the smaller enterprises are finding themselves in the same predicament. Another cause of the surplus is to be found in the effort at adjustment of milk prices that has been made in several of the larger cities within the past winter. As a result of this effort and the growth of a feeling by a large part of. the public against the producers, the consumption of milk in the cities has fallen off markedly—and this despite the fact that even at 12 and 14 cents a quart milk is one of the cheapest and most nutritious foods the consumer can purchase. The new lessons in food conservation and thrift are also having their effect in lessening the call for dairy products. Meanwhile there is no doubt about the acuteness of the demand for butterfat products in France, Belgium, England, Italy and other European countries. For the American dairyman there might be a solution of these current difficulties If the government wMild place orders for future delivery upon which the condensaries and the milk corporations might borrow money—though there Is nothing to indicate at present that this will be done. An organized campaign of advertising of dairy products by the dairy associations, In the manner in which the California growers enlighten consumers about the virtues of their fruits, would also help immensely In Increasing the demand for and the appreciation of dairy products. Among officials of the department of agriculture and the food administration the feeling; is that this critical situation will be relieved by fan, when our launching of ships will begin to exceed the toll taken by the pirate TJ* boats. Under the circumstances, it Is the opinion of the writer that in the long run It will be wiser for dairymen to struggle along as best they can for the present rather than sacrifice any of their herds, for while the present may look dark enough, a future is in prospect which, from the standpoint of profit and general good of the industry. should amply repay producers for the existing hardships.

Several head of cattle were killed by the poison. Qrand Rapids—Grand Rapids got into the market for a $6,000 a year manager when the city commission brought down the salary of that office from $10,000, the sum paid Manager Gaylord Cummin.

Bands and state troops participated In a parade. Prominent state men spoke. Camp Custer—Immorality will never flourish in Camp Custer if the courtmartial sentence dismissing one lieutenant, found guilty of grave indiscretion, truthfully reflects the attitude of the authorities towards vice. The sentence, which calls for the dishonorable discharge of the young officer, has been approved by President Wilson and dismissal follows immediately. Holland—The Holland Rusk Co. and the Michigan Tea Rusk Co., Holland, are among the few baking Arms in the United States to be granted permits by the federal food administration allowing exemption from the use of wheat substitutes. Although experiments are being made with substitutes neither company has been successful In making rusk with anything but wheat. Detroit—Mrs, Mary Frazier, Negress, was killed and two men were badly burned when Casper Laconia, seeking a gas leak in his tenement borne at 13-15 Chase street with a lighted candle caused an explosion that blew out an entire side of the house. Mrs. Frazier, 24 years old, who resided on the ground floor of the building, the woman killed, had her head smashed by a falling beam. Detroit—With only one another for mourners, ten lonely unclaimed bodies were taken in one day from the county morgue for burial by City Undertaker J. W. Maney. They were the remains of William Rivers, who died in the Detroit house of correction; James Mc- Milan, dead of natural causes; three unknown men, one drowned, one killed by a train and one a victim of pneumonia, and Ave babies. Detroit—Present indications are that youths reaching 21 years of age will in the future be registered for army services every 3 months. "The registrations will come every 90 days after June 5," said Special Agent Fred Thornton, of the district board. "The government will not wait an entire year for the men who reach 21 years of age, but will accept them four times a year. This will give a steady stream of men for the national army." Detroit—From Lieutenant E. M. Connors, of Detroit, comes the news that the American boys were "very much wrought up the other day over a rumor that came up to us that our president had been assassinated. We thought it was true for a few hours," writes Connors, "and we just made up our minds to go out and give the damn Boches hell 'tout de suite' (Immediately). Fortunately this rumor turned out to be a peculiar brand of German propaganda." Lansing—"If It were not for our affiliations with the A. T. and T. Co. we would now be operated by the federal courts." This startling statement was made by Gen. Manager Geo. M. Welch of the Michigan State Telephone Co. before the state tax commission. According to Mr. Welch the company lost $133,000 last year and its losses this year wHt be much greater. He was opposing an increase In the assessed value of the company's property by the commission from $19,- 600,000 to $22,000,000. Lansing—The state railroad commission has rendered a decision on the salt against the Michigan State Telephone Co., at .Traverse City compelling t t e Bell company to make connection* with independent lines.

At the sale price of 28 1-2 cents a pound, fixed by the government, the cargo represents a value of $1,175,000. Camp Cuater—Thousands of rifles are firing simultaneously on the rifle range each day. The men are given 10 shots in the morning and 10 in the afternoon as a part of their course. Five thousand men are taking the course and daily shoot away 100,000 rounds of ammunition. Camp Custer—Mastafa Selm, the De troit Turk who deserted from Camp Custer and escaped to Mexico, but who returned when he thought he was safe from arrest, has been sentenced to five years' imprisonment. Selim's brother was lately given a federal court sentence In Detroit for aiding in the desertion. Hastings—Unless the 5,000,000 bushels of potatoes are used before July 1, they will be wasted," according to John C. Ketcham, of Hastings, master of the state grange and national grange lecturer, who is interested in pushing a campaign to use more potatoes and milk, the only two foods of which there Is a surplus. Camp Custer—People of Michigan are again warned not to shoot pigeons unless they wish to feel the legal wrath of the war department. Carrier birds from Camp Custer have been taken to many cities in the southern portion of the state and released. Very frequently the birds fail to return or carry shot back with them. Kalamazoo—Hiding in the attic of the East Avenue school and existing on the fruits of daily raids for milk, cookies and bread, two of the three boy bandits who robbed six stores here were arrested by detectives after defying capture for three days. The lads had been taken before and had escaped from the detention room at the police station. Pontiac—Pontlac lays claim to first rank in the nation for cities between 25,000 and 50,000, in the Third Liberty loan drive. The figures announced in Washington give the honor to Topeka, Kan., with a 202 per cent subscription. While Pontiac, in the 1910 census, is not Included in that class, it now has more than 30,000 population. Its Liberty loan showing was $1,587,150, on x quota of $431,500, or 367 per cent. Lansing—The interstate commerce commission, at Washington, has handed down a decision in favor of the Huron Milling Co., of Harbor Beach, which requires the Pere Marquette Railroad Co. to make an allowance to the milling concern of 75 cents per car for switching interstate shipments between the railroad yard and the complainant's plant at Harbor Beach and of 45 cents per car for switching between loading and unloading points within the plant. Detroit—Attracted by a citizen's cries, Patrolman Myers saw four boys coming down a fire escape in the rear of John V. Sheehan & Company's store, 260 Woodward avenue. Myers called to the boys to halt, but all ran except one, who was arrested. The boy, who is but 13 years old, told the police he and his companions had climbed up the fire escape to the fourth floor of the building, and entered through an open window. Each one stole a pair of roller skates. Detroit—Word has been received from an officer In the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth infantry, now near the firing line in France, that Major Augustus H. Oansser, of Bay City, has been put In command of the first battalion of that regiment, which is made up of national guardsmen from Detroit and a few selective soldiers that originally were sent to Camp Custer. According to the latest advice the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth still is building railroads back of the "line." Kalamazoo—Hiram J. Ouding, 38 years old, was instantly killed and Lena Ouding, 12, Bertha Ouding, 8, daughters of the victim and two ot. er children, Betsy and Grade Cramer, were injured when a limited car going more than 40 miles an hour struck the auto driven by Ouding. Ouding was a celery grower living near Cornstock, four miles west of Galesburg. He had taken his children out for a ride and attempted to torn his car around on the interurhan crossing when he was struck. ' Lansing — Sensational disclosures concerning the operation of a well organised ring of firebugs may be expected, according to state officials, as the result of a grand jury investigation. For several months officials of the state fire marshal's department hare b e e s . investigating mysterious Urea in Detroit, Kalamaaoo and other cities throughout Michigan, and K hi believed that insurance has been collect* 4 in many instance* on Ares of inoandiarr origin. Aoooftflag to Infos* m a t t e received by state officials, SOTDC The Intruder D BORGLOM ACCUSED OF AIRPLANE GRAFT CHARGED 1NVE8TIGATOR USED P08ITION TO FURTHER OWN PERSONAL INTERESTS. VIGOROUSLY DENIES CHARGES Characterizes Accusation As Frams»up to Discredit His Disclosures On Failure of Plane Program. Washington—A new and sensational twist to the army aircraft scandal was given on May 10, when the war department turned on its principal accuser, Gutzon Borglum. Through Senator Thomas, Colorado, spokesman for the administration on the military affairs committee, the government caused to be read into the Congregational Record 100,000 words of correspondence and affidavits tending to show that at the very time Borglum was collecting information upon which he charged officers of the government with graft, he was using his position as the president's Investigator to organize an aeroplane company. With him in the proposed formation of the company, the correspondence and affidavits tended to show, was Hugo C. Gibson, described as an attache of the British ministry of war. Officials of the Dodge Motor company, Mishawkee, Indiana, furnished the military Intelligence section of the army with Information and affidavits tending to substantiate the charges. Mr. Borglum characterized the accusation as a "scurrilous frame-up," claiming the charges were sprung at this time in an effort to discredit his disclosures on the failure of the aircraft program. PHONE RATE RAISE ANNULLED Judge Wiest Orders Rehearing Detroit Controversy. of Detroit—Postponement of increased telephone rates for Detroit, and rehearing of the case by the courts, will be the result of the decision of Judge Howard Wiest of the circuit court at Lansing. Judge Wiest set aside the order of the railroad commission for higher and metered rates for Detroit, ordering the commission to revise Its opinion on new principles. The higher telephone rate is annulled, and present rates will prevail until the commission or the courts finally pass on whatever new.rates the commission grants. Its metered rate order, issued February 16, is completely set aside. The court's conclusion that the 4 1-2 per cent dividend paid to the American Telephone & Telegraph company by the Michigan State company was not properly chargeable against the subscribers is considered even a harder blow for the telephone company than the setting aside of the higher rate. EMBARGO ON NON-ESSENTIALS Only Necessities Can Be Exported Under Latest Trade Edict. OLD HUNGARIAN CABINET OUT New Premier Plans to Amend Laws to Give All Citizens Right to Vote. Budapest, via London—A new Hungarian cabinet has been formed with Dr. Alexander Wekerle as premier and minister of the interior. Premier Wekerle has stated that the government Intends to introduce various small amendments to suffrage proposals, based on compromise, that will make acceptance of the proposals possible. The amendments provide that every citizen who would not otherwise have the right to vote should obtain the right if he gives proof of sufficient learning to have passed through four classes of the national school and also is master of the Hungarian language, or if he has passed through six classes of the national school The premier added that workmen will have the right to vote. TROOP CAR FALLS OFF TRESTLE Washington—Control of manufacture of articles for export to European Allies has been instituted by the war industries board and the food administration. New regulations, effective May 15, require permission of the Allied representatives and of the controlling agency of this government before manufacture of such commodities can begin or materials for manufacture purchased. The regulations constitute perhaps the most radical step yet taken, as the trade board explafne, "for the purpose of preventing the useless consumption of materials and labor in making articles for export, which for the present may not be exported, and for the purpose of saving tonnage by prohibiting the exportation of articles which have not been recommended by the government of the country of destination as being necessary for their essential requirements."

London—Ever since the costly defeat of Gen. von Arnim's army in its desperate assault on the front southwest of Yprea, over two weeks ago, the beginniing of a new effort by the enemy either here or on some other front has been looked for from day to day. Possibly the Germans have been waiting for some, allied counter blow, which they felt able to withstand, and therefore, hoped would be dealt. If this was the case, they must have been disappointed by the waiting attitude of General Foch, which it is felt, now will compel the enemy to reveal his further purpose with little delay, as time is one of the things he cannot afford to squander, with the American forces now rapidly swelling to formidable numbers. If, as is considered certain, the Germans have employed such time as they have felt impelled to spend in building up the machinery for a new offensive on probably a greater scale than before, it is equally sure that the allied armies under the unified command have not neglected to employ the interval In making every preparation possible to meet the German blow. Every day gives evidence of the alertness of the allied forces. Numerous minor operations have been undertaken to improve their positions on the various fronts and their artillery fire has been directed to equally good purpose in breaking, up the organizing efforts of the enemy. British Bottle Up Ostend. London—British naval forces carried out another brilliant and successful coup on May 9. They dashed down on the Belgian coast and barred the sea way to the important German submarine base at Ostend by sinking the cruiser Vindictive across the entrance to the harbor. The operation was similar to that at Zeebrugge on April 23, when that submarine nest was made ineffective by the sinking of block ships. The Vindictive, which had been th© leader in the Zeebrugge raid, and was badly shot up there, was filled with concrete and sunk between the piers at the outlet of the Ostend harbor. The' enterprise was successful from every point of view. The only loss sustained by the British was a motor boat, while the casualties were light The blocking of the Ostend and Zeebrugge harbors will go down in the history of the war as two of the most daring exploits of the navies. At both submarine bases the Germans have batteries of long range naval guns and keep a keen lookout for attacking parties. The Importance of the blocking operations lies in the fact that, if they hare been as successful as is believed, and the Germans have been deprived ot both of their Belgian bases, they win now be forced to revert, for some time at least, to their own home ports aa starting and returning points for their under-sea raiders. Foe Attacks Beaten Back. London—The Allied defense on the Flanders front to the southwest of Ypres has again been tested by the Germans and has been found adequate. Two divisions of Teuton troops were employed on a relatively abort front and were sent into the fight under cover of a terrific artillery fire. The front chosen for the attack extended from the village of La Clytee to Voormeseele but the center of the assault seems to have been at Verstratet, a hamlet northwest of Kemmel hm. The flanks of the German attacking line were stopped short by fire from French and British artillery posted oil high ground and which waa dole to enfilade the German regiments aa they tried to advance.

Synopsis.—Fired by the sinking of the Lusltanla, 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 Prance, 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. Empey goes "over the top" for the first time and has a desperate fight CHAPTER X I I . Bombing, The boys In the section welcomed me lack, but there were many strange faces. Several of our men had gone West In that charge, and were lying ""somewhera in France" with a little wooden cross at their heads. We were In rest billets. The next day our captain asked for volunteers for bombers' school. I gave my name and was accepted. I had joined the Suicide club, and my troubles commenced. Thirtytwo men of the battalion, including myself, were sent to L , where we went through a course In bombing. Here we were Instructed in the uses, methods of throwing and manufacture of various kinds of hand grenades, from the old "Jam tin," now obsolete, to the present Mills bomb, the standard of the British army. It all depends where you are as to what you are called. In France they call you a "bomber" and give you medals, while In neutral countries they call you an anarchist and give you "life." From the very start the Germans were well equipped with effective bombs and trained bomb throwers, but the English army was as little prepared In this Important department of fighting as In many others. At.bombing school an old sergeant of the Grenadier guards, whom I had the good fortune to meet, told me of the discouragements this branch of the service suffered before they could meet the [Germans on an equal footing. (Pacifists and small army people In the TJ. S. please read with care.) The first English expeditionary forces had no bombs at all, but had clicked a lot of casualties from those thrown by the Boches. One bright morning someone higher up had an idea and issued an order detailing two men from each platoon to go to bombing school to ilearn the duties of a bomber and how to manufactore bombs. Noncommissioned officers were generally selected for this course. After about two weeks at school they returned to their units In rest billets or in the fire trench, as the case might be, and got busy teaching their platoons how to make "Jam tins," Previously an order had been issued for all ranks to save empty Jam tins for the manufacture of bombs. A professor of bombing would sit on the fire step in the front trench with the remainder of his section crowding around to see him work. On his left would be A pile of empty and rusty Jam tins, while beside him on the fire step would be a miscellaneous assortment of material used in the manufacture of the "jam tins." , Tommy would stoop down, get an empty "Jam tin," take a handful of [clayey mud from the parapet, and line the Inside of the tin with this sub- Istanca. Then he would reach over, pick up his detonator and explosive, and insert them in the tin, fuse protrading. On the fire step would be a pile of fragments of shell, shrapnel balls, bits of Iron, nails, etc—anything ,th*t was bard enough to send over to Frtts; he would scoop up a handful of itfcls Jank and put It In the bomb. Perhaps one of the platoon would ask him what he did this for, and he would 'explsla that when the bomb exploded these hits wonM fly about and kin or wound any German hit by same; the questioner would immediately putt a button off his tunic and hand it to the hossh maker with, "Wen, Muse ma/ send this over as a souvenir,w or another Tammy would volunteer an ttdTuaty and broken Jeckknife; both be accaptsd and Inserted: would take anandffi the tin. which he - - - the lid of the tin and put It over the top of the bomb, the fuse sticking o u t Then perhaps he would tightly wrap wire around the outside of the tin, and the bomb was ready to send over to Fritz with Tommy's compliments. A piece of wood about four Inches wide had been Issued. This was to be strapped on the left forearm by means of two leather straps and was like the side of a "match box; It was called a "striker." There was a tip like the head of a match on the fuse of the bomb. To Ignite the fuse, you had to rub It on the "striker," Just the same as striking a match. The fuse was timed to five seconds or longer. Some of the fuses Issued in those days would burn down In a second or two, while others would "sizz" for a week before exploding. Back In Blighty the munition workers weren't quite up to snuff, the way they are now. If the fuse took a notion to burn too quickly they generally burled the bomb maker next day. So making Tjombs could not be ( called a "cushy" or safe Job. After making several bombs the professor instructs the platoon in throwing them. He takes a "jam tin" from the fire step, trembling a little, because it Is nervous work, especially when new at it, lights the fuse on his striker. The fuse begins to "slsz" and sputter and a spiral of smoke, like that from a smoldering fag, rises from It. The platoon splits in two" and ducks around the traverse nearest to them. They don't like the looks and sound of the burning fuse. When that fuse begins to smoke and "sizz" you want to say good-by to It as soon as possible, so Tommy with all his might chucks It over the top and crouches against the parapet, waiting for the explosion. Lots of times in bombing the "Jam tin" would be pleked up by the Germans, before It exploded, and thrown back at Tommy with dire results. After a lot of men went West In this manner an order was issued, reading something like this: "To all ranks in the British army: After Igniting the fuse and before throwing the Jam-tin bomb, count slowly onel two I three 1" This in order to give the fuse time enough to burn down, so that the bomb would explode before the Germans could throw it back. Tommy read the order—he reads them all, but after he ignited the fuse and it began to smoke—orders were forgotten, and away she went in record time and back she came to the further discomfort of the thrower. Then another order was Issued to count, "one hundred I two hundred 1 three hundred P* But Tommy dldnt care If the order read to count up to a thousand by quarters, he was going to get rid of that "Jam tin," because from experience he had learned not Ho trust i t When the powers that be realised that they could not change Tommy they decided to change the type of bomb and did so—substituting the "hair brush,- the "cricket ban/* and later the Mills bomb. The standard bomb used in the British army is the "Mills." It is about the shape and size of a large lemon. Although not actually a lemon, Frits insists that It Is; perhaps he Judges it by the havoc caused by Its explosion. The Mills bomb is made of steel, the outside of which hi corrugated into 48 small squares, which, upon the explosion of the bomb, scatter m a wide area, wounding or killing any Ittts who ta unfortunate enough to he hit by one of the flying fragments. Although a very destructive and efficient bemb the HMUUM las the fldence of "th* thrower, ia Htttaot It is a mechanical device, with a lever, fitted into a slot at the top, which extends half way around the circumference and la held in place at the bottom by a fixing pin. In this pin there is a small metal ring, for the purpose of extracting the pin when ready to throw. You do not throw a bomb the wuy a baseball is thrown, because, when in a narrow trench, your hand is- liable to strike against the parados, traverse or parapet, and then down goes the bomb, and, In a couple of seconds or so, up goes Tommy. In throwing, the bomb and lever are grasped in the right hand, the left foot is advanced, knee stiff, about one and a half its length to the front, while J. the right ^eg, knee bent, is carried slightly to the right. The left arm Is extended at an angle of 45 degrees, pointing in the direction the bomb is to be thrown. This position is similar to that of shot putting, only that the right arm is extended downward. Then you hurl the bomb from you with an overhead bowling motion, the same as In cricket, throwing it fairly high in the air, this in order to give the fuse a chance to burn down so that when the -bomb laDds, it immediately explodes and gives the Germans no time to scamper out of Its range or to return i t As the bomb leaves your hand, the lever, by means of a spring, is projected into the air and falls harmlessly to the ground a few feet in front of the bomber. When the lever flies off it releases a strong spring, which forces the firing pin into a percussion cap. This ignites the fuse, which burns down and sets off the detonator, charged with fulminate of mercury, which explodes the main charge of ammonal. The average British soldier is not an expert at throwing; it is a new game to him, therefore the Canadians and Americans, who have played baseball from the kindergarten up, take naturally to bomb throwing and excel in this act. A six-foot English bomber will stand In awed silence when he sees a little flve-foot-nothing Canadian outdistance his throw by several yards. Throwing Hand Grenades. I have read a few war stories of bombing, where baseball pitchers curved their bombs when throwing them, but a pitcher who can do this would make "Christy" Mathewson look like a piker, and is losing valuable time playing In the European War bush league, when he would be able to set the "big league" on fire. We had a cushy time while at this school. In fact, to us it was a regular vacation, and we were very sorry when one morning the adjutant ordered us to report at headquarters for transportation and rations to return to our units up the line. Arriving at our section, the boys once again tendered us the glad mitt, but locked askance at us out of the corners of their eyes. They could not conceive, as they expressed it, how a man could be such a blinking idiot as to Join the Suicide dub. I was beginning to feel sorry that I had become a member of said club, and my life to me appeared doubly precious. Now that I was a sure-enough bomber I was praying for peace and hoping that my services as such would not be required. CHAPTER X I I I . My First Official Bath. Bight behind our rest billet was a large creek about ten feet deep and twenty feet across, and it was a habit of the company to avail themselves of an opportunity to take a swim and at title same time thoroughly wash themselves and their underwear when on their own. We were having t spell of hot weather, and these baths to us were a luxury* The Tommies would splash around in the water and then come out and sit la the sun and have what they termed a "shirt hunt4* At first we tried to drown the "cootiea," hut they alio seemed to —Joy the hath. One Sunday ssorhlng the whole In the) erutk and wo Be to the edge of the creek and ordered! "Come out of i t Get your equipment on, 'drill order,' aud fall In for bath parade. Look lively, my hearties. You have only got fifteen minutes." A howl of indignation from the creek greeted this order, but out we came. Discipline is discipline. We lined up in front of our billet with rtfles und bayonets (why you need rifles and bayonets to take a bath gets me), a full quota of ammunition, aud our tin hats. Each man hud a piece of soup and a towel. After an eight-kilo march along u dusty roud, with an occasional shell whistling overhead, we arrived at a little squat frame building upon the bank of a creek. Nailed over the door of this building was a large blgn which read "Divisional Baths." In a wooden shed in the rear we could hear a wheezy old engine pumping water. The joys of the bath are depleted by Empey in the next Installment. (TO B E CONTINUED.) GENIUS INSPIRED BY WAR John Masefteld, English Poet and Nov* elltt, Sees Feast of Spiritual Conceptions In Future. John Masefleld, the poet and novel* 1st, thinks that the devastating war In Enrope by way of compensation will inspire great intellects such as nourished after the Napoleonic struggle: "We shall have new Darwlns, Spencers and Carlyles with new messages that will reach the whole world. We shall have new Shelleys in poetry. People will feast upon new spiritual conceptions as remote as possible from the great tragedy. They will turn to the romantic and fantastic, the beautiful, Just as they did after the Napoleonic wars." That Is a consummation devoutly to be wished. Certainly In the present dearth of genius it is gratifying to believe that the world has a new Shelley and a new Byron In the cradle, born at the outbreak of the war as they were born at the outbrenk of the French revolution, Perhaps there are other Darwlns and Spencers and Cnrlyles to come. But considering that the "First Principles" was published In 1862, "Sociology" In 1872 and the "Descent of Man" in 1871, did the Crimean war and our own Civil war have any part in Inspiration? Shall we infer that the war between the states stimulated mid-Victorian literature while doing little to inspire American letters?—Exchange. Way to Success. Power is the goal of every worthy ambition and only weakness comes from Imitation or dependence on others, says a writer in Success. Power is self-developed, self-generated. We cannot Increase the strength of our muscles by sitting in a gymnasium and letting another exercise for us. Nothing else so destroys the power to stand alone as the habit of leaning upon others. If you lean you never will be strong or original. Stand alone or bury your ambition to be somebody in the world. The man who tries to give his children a start In the world so that they will not have so hard a time as he had is unknowingly bringing disaster upon them. What he calls giving them a start probably will give them a setback in the world. Young people need all the motive power they can get They are naturally leaners, Imitators, copiers, and It is easy for them to develop into echoes or Imitations.

We moved about 15 miles and we marched the whole distance in full equipment in t h e rain. The men were pretty well toughened so it did not bother them much. T h e roads in dry weather are fine but when it rains the top gets soft and the bottom stays hard and you slip and slide. The town we are in now is a bum Httle hole.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, MAY 9, 1918 No. 19 TUSCAN IA DISASTER Story Graphically Told by Lakeland Boy bieut. Chas. Wards Experience How American troops stood at attention on the slowly canting deck of of the sinking Tuscania for two hours and ten minutea one evening last winter and waited unflinchingly for rescue or death is told in a letter just received by Charles A. Ward, of Lakeland, from his son, Lieutenant Charles P. Ward, now on the French front, who wa^4n command of a company on board the transport. "You ask of the sinkingof the ship", *fce writes. "It was an experience that I do not car* to repeat. I can sit with closed eyes and live over again every incident of those two long hours and ten minutes, and yet, jppw that it is all ever, it seems like a hfieous nightmare. "I had been feeling bilious, so that evening, after shavi \g, I stepped into the docter's stateroe n, which was next to ours, to get some calomel and salts aa I wanted to feel fit to disembark the next day. For some hour* we had been able to see the shore line of Ireland on •ur right and the gray cliff a of the Scottiflh coast far to the left as the ship forced ahead into the narrowing channel. "Clad in my undershirt I waa seated •n a bunk visiting with the doctor when there came a thundering crash below •a and a violent vibration of the whole atruction of the ship. The light* went oat, the mirrors were crushed into fregsaents^- bettles, glasses, everything in the doctor's layout came ttuahlingdUioia, (The torpedo struck directly below our quarter*.) " 'God! they got ua,' " I exclaimed a* I landed on my feet "I felt my way to the corridor and into our own stateroom, where my •mnkieshad flashlights. Thinga were in ruins there, but I knew just where My garments were. Hastily I donned shirt, blouse and overcoat and bucketed on my gun. Then we scrambled up the companion way, through the smoking God, what a welcome sight that little oyster can wats! I threw a rope to the sailorB on the deck of the destroyer and my compauy slid down the rope, about 40 feet, to the deck of the destroyer ^without a mishap. I followed the men and when I hit that deck (and believe me 1 was some slider, Ringling'a beat man had nothing on me) I was all in. My orderly, who stood by waiting for me to come down, assisted me to a gun turret, where we lay for four houss before we landed on the "old sod". On the way in we hit a storm and that little boat with its load of 800 boys did roll and toss. The physical weakness of reaction overpowered me, "It was raining when we hit Ireland and I never in all my life had mud, the stickiest of black mud feel so good to my feet before. I could have rolled in and cried out for joy. "Thanks to the wireless we were expected and an Irish regiment met us at the dock with a hot Btew for the men and hot'Irish' and a meal for the officers. Talk about international amenities, those 'British' soldiers certainly received us with open arms. "We mustered in the morning and what a motley crew to call an army, dressed in everything from Tommy uniforms of the Black Watch down, curlers, Scotch and civilian garb—anw thing for warmth "So we rested for a day and then journeyed to Belfast and rested again.

A good crowd was present and the seating capacity of the house waa taxed te overflowing, as several were obliged to stand during the evening. As there is plenty of room for more seats in this thews**, the management aheett provide them for its patrons. The play was a delightfully funny skit abounding ia sparkling witticisms and humorous situations and the entire cast surely fulfilled expections in manner in which they portrayed the various characters, and each individual who played, is entitled to much praise for success achieved. The directors also, have shown themselves vto be students of the histrionic art and_ are to congratulated on the reamlta they have accomplished in the thankless task of producing an entertainment of this kind. The*muai«was rendered bythe Isham- Snyder orchestra accompanied by Miss Sadie"Harris, and was well received by the audience.

My company had 'beaten me to i t ' Thanks to the drill which had this very emergency in view, they were lined up in perfect order, as though on the parade ground back in the training camp. "A glance sufficed to determine that our lifeboats were useless. The torpedo had the indecency to strike ira-. mediately below our staterooms and* boat deck. The first boat hung on the davits in splinters and the lowering davits were so bent and twisted that they could not have been used had we use for them, which we did not, for the boats on the boat deck were so crashed as to be useless. Three series of boats, about 15 in all, were Bmashed. "But there was no mad rush for the other boats that were being lowered. We were helpless, yet my men stood calmly at attention, mute witnesses to the accidents in lowering other boats which fell—drowning and smaahing men-powerleas to extend aid to our unfortunate comrades. "Two hours and ten minutes we stood, in the deepening darkness, on ttfee dock of that ahattarod ship as it slowly went to its doom, hating, as the moments passed, so that it was difficult to stand upright upon the deck, powerless to avert the fate which reached oat for ua. Those hours seeseed ages. It requires courage to calmly face alow to approaching death in inaction. There were.no white feathers exhibited down that iine of Yankee soldiers. Their behavior under these trying circumstances gave me added cause to be proud that I am an American.

Vandewalter had secreted a screw driver in the vault and with this was able to make his escape. Lansing—In an effort to defeat the amendment initiated by the liquor interests, which would legalize the sale of beer and light wines in Michigan, the Michigan Anti-Saloon League proposes to raise a campaign fund of $150,000. Additional workers will be placed in the upper peninsula, where it is expected the beer and wine ) amendment may appeal strongly to the foreign element. Grand Rapids.—Mrs. Lee A.

Following detailed developments of Secretary Baker's tremendous program, word reached the capital that the navy department will ask the same "the sky is the limit" legislation as has been framed for the army. Navy to Be Increased to 500,000 Men. New York—The Uaited States navy will be increased to nearly 500,000 men before the end of the year. Franklin D. Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy,, said in an address on May 3 at the Young Men's Christian association in Brooklyn. He said there are now 370,000 in the service. Mr. Roosevelt said it is somewhat difficult nowadays to talk on the navy, but he added that he was betraying no secrets in stating that the United States has 170 war ships, manned by about 40,000 sailors, in foreign waters. THIRD LIBERTY LOAN A SUCCESS Every District Oversubscribed—Lower Michigan Over the Top. Washington—For the third time within a - year, the American people have heavily oversubscribed a wax credit. As the third Liberty loan was clos ing May 4, the treasury announced the campaign had been "an overwhelming success." Although $3,000,000 was the forma? goal of the campaign, official reports indicated that the aggregate would be increased to nearly $4,000,000,000 this week when banks would have hao time to tabulate the multitude of last minute applications. All twelve federal reserve districts which were the largest campaign units, over-subscribed, and a majority of the states made the same record. Michigan Over the Top.

The charge was that Stein, while county treasurer, concealed thefts of Tony Kloka, mortgage tax clerk, to aid Kloka to escape punishm e n t Kloka is serving tour years in Jackson prison. The trial of Sheriff Stein began almost four weeks ago and developed into one of the mott bitterly contested cases In the hiitory of the local Judiciary.

Washington—The United States government has taken absolute control of distribution of steel in all industries Through the war industries board and other agencies war needs will be main tained at 100 per cent production. First evidence of the determination of the government to keep war rnak ing factories at full tilt was given on May 3, when 8,000 tons of pig iron were commandeered from an automo bile plant and shifted to a war essen tial factory. BAN ON CASUALTY LISTS RAISED Addresses of U. S. Soldiers Killed or Wounded Again Published. Washington—The war department has resumed the practice of giving addresses of American soldiers named in the casualty lists sent from France. The decision was made by President Wilson, to whom the public appealed, when the addresses were ordered discontinued. The president took up the subject with Secretary Baker imme. diately after the secretary's return from France. 100,000 FREIGHT CARS ORDERED Huge Contracts Placed by McAdoo Aggregate $325,000,000. Washington—Orders for 70,000 addi. tional freight cars, to supplement 30,000 contracted for several days ago, have been placed by the railroad ad ministration, with 15 car building con corns.

CRISIS IN AUSTRIA FORCES CLOSING OF PARLIAMENT FOOD 8HORTAQE8 AND RIOT8 \\i DUAL MONARCHY CAUSE KING TO BAR 8E88ION8 OF LAW BODY. AMERICANS PENETRATE FOE'S THIRD LINE IN LORRAINE Activity On Austro-italian Front Increases—British Losses in Big Battle 260,000 Men— Foe Held in Check. Washington—Emperor Charles of Austria has empowered the Austrian premier to adjourn parliament and forthwith take steps to make impossible the resumption of its activities, «ayt* a Vienna dispatch to Amsterdam May 5. A statement published in Vienna indicates that the closure of parliament is due to the seriousness of the food situation. Austria has been deep in difficulties, both political and economic, for more than a year, and it has been an open secret that Emperor Charles was desirous of bringing about peace, his efforts in this direction having occasionally aroused criticism in Berlin. In the last few months, there have been insistent reports that the food situation in Austria was growing des» perate. Americans Deliver Attack. With the French Armies in the Field —The German third line in the region of Dogs' Wood, on the Lorraine front, was penetrated by 300 American infantrymen May 3, in the first operation ever conducted exclusively with American artillery. The attack followed an intense bombardment by the Yankee batteries. "The American gunners displayed perfect mastery of the French artillerymethods," declared the French official note, in which the attack was announced. Activity On Italian Front London—Vienna dispatches announce greatly increased activity along the Austrio-Italian lines, where a renewal of the Teutonic offensive has long been threatened. The Rome official statement does not give a like picture of the front line activities, but records intensive aerial operations. British Losses 250,000 Men. Washington—British losses, in me) killed, wounded, captured and missing on the western front since the German offensive began, March 21, are estimated by the British military mission here at nearly 250,000. Foe Onrush Is Checked. London—The present phase of the battle on the Ypres and Amiena fronts is not unlike that before Verdun, two years ago, after the first German rush had been stopped and even attempts to carry local objectives had met with defeat. Germany has lost heavily, but the emperor still has reserves to throw into the fight. The defeat on the Meteren- Voonnezeele line southwest of Ypres has taught the Germans that the Allies are prepared to stand their ground, and there seems little inclination at the present moment to renew a conflict which threatens to be disastrous. Under the German blows the Allied armies seem to be welded together as never before. There now is no point of junction at which the Germans can thrust The process of welding together the two armies is complete, but it will not stop there. Franco-British divisions will be moved about on a solidly knitted front, at the wish of the Allied high command, as freely aa German divisions. Bohemian Troops Join Italy. London—The Daily Mail's correspondent at Italian headquarters says that the Bohemian troopa are Joining th» Italian troops against Austria and that the first detachments are already on. the Italian fighting line wearing Italian uniforms. The defection of the Bohemian* would in a measure explain the delay in the proposed great offensive Ion* heralded, of the Auetrlant against the Italians. Germane Capture tabeetopol.

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 Are step while the bullets whis overhead. Empey learns, as comrade falls, that death lurks always in the trenches. 31 CHAPTER X—Continued. We had a sergeant in our battalion fcamed Warren. He was on duty with his platoon In the fire trench one afternoon when orders came up from the rear that he had been granted seven days' leave for Blighty, and would be relieved at five o'clock to proceed to England. He was tickled to death at these welcome tidings and regaled his more or less envious mates beside him on the fire step with the good times in store for him. He figured it out that in two days' time he would arrive at Waterloo station, London, and then— seven days'.bliss! At atydut five minutes to five he started to fidget with his rifle, and then suddenly springing up on the fire step with a muttered, "I'll send over a couple of souvenirs to Fritz so that he'll miss me when I leave," he stuck his rifle over the top and flred two shots when "crack" went a bullet and he tumbled off the step, fell into the mud at the bottom of the trench, and lay still In a huddled heap with a bullet hole In his forehead. At about the time he expected to arrive at Waterloo station he was laid to rest in a little cemetery behind the lines. He had gone to Blighty. In the trenches one can never tell— it Is not safe to plan very far ahead. After "stand down" the men sit on the fire stej*- or repair to their respective dugouts and wait for the "rum Issue" to materialize. Immediately following the rum comes breakfast, brought up from the rear. Sleeping is then In order unless some special work turns up. Around 12:30 dinner shows up. When this Is eaten the men try to amuse themselves until "tea" appears at about four o'clock, then "stand to" and they carry on as before. While In rest billets Tommy gets up about six In the morning, washes up, answers roll call, Is Inspected by his platoon officer, and has breakfast. At 8:45 he parades (drills) with his company or goes on fatigue according to the orders which have been "read out by the orderly sergeant the night previous. Between 11:30 and noon he is dismissed, has his dinner and is "on his own" for the remainder of the day, unless he has clicked for a digging or ,worklng party, and so it goes on from day to day, always "looping the loop" and looking forward to peace and Blighty. Sometimes, while engaged In a "cootie" hunt, you think. Strange to say, but it is a fact, while Tommy is searching his shirt serious thoughts come to him. Many a time, when performing this operation, I have tried to figure out the outcome of the war and what will happen to me. My thoughts generally ran In this channel: Will I emerge safely from the next attack? If I do will I skin through the following one, and so on? While your mind is wandering into the future It Is likely to be rudely brought to earth by a Tommy Interrupting with, "What's good for rheumatism?*' Then you have something else to think of. Will you come out of this war crippled and tied into knots with rheumatism, caused by the wet and mud of trenches and dugouts? Ton give it up as a bad job and generally saunter over to the nearest estamlnet to drown your moody forebodings in a glass of sickening French beer or to try your luck at the always present game of "house." You can hear the stng-soig voice of a Tommy droning out the numbers as he extracts the little squares of cardboard from ths baf between his feet CHAPTER XI. Over tlit Ton, On my second trip to the trenches enr officer was making hit rounds of Inspection, and wa received tha cheat fnl aawa that at four in the morning we wars to go orer tha top and take the German front-line trench. My heart turned to lead. Then the officer carried on with his Instructions. To the best of my memory I recall them as follows: "At eleven a wiring party will go out in front and cut lanes through our barbed wire for the passage of troops In the morning. At two o'clock our artillery will open up with an intense bombardment, which will last until four. Upon the lifting of the barrage the first of the three waves will go over." Then he left. Some of the Tommies, first getting permission from the sergeant, went Into the machine gunners' dugout and wrote letters home, saying that In the morning they were going over the top, and also that If the letters reached their destination it would mean that the writer had been killed. These letters were turned over to the captain with instructions to mail same In the event of the writer's being killed. Some of the men made out their wills In their pay books, under the caption, "Will and Last Testament." Then the nerve-racking wait commenced. Every now and then I would glance at the dial of my wrist watch and was surprised to see how fast the minutes passed by. About five minutes to two I got nervous waiting for our guns to open up. I could not take my eyes from my watch. I crouched against the parapet and strained my muscles in a deathlike grip upon my rifle. As the hands on my watch showed two o'clock a blinding red flare lighted up the sky In our rear, then thunder, Intermixed with a sharp, whistling sound In the air over our heads. The shells from our guns were speeding on their way toward the German lines. With one accord the men sprang up on the fire step and looked over the top In the direction of the German trenches. A line of bursting shells lighted up No Man's Land. The din wns terrific and the ground trembled. Then, high above our heads we could hear a sighing moan. Our big boys behind the line had opened up and 9.2's and 15-Inch shells commenced dropping Into the German lines. The flash of the guns behind the lines, the scream of the shells through the air, and the flare of them, bursting, was a spectacle that put Pain's greatest display into the shade. The constant pup, pup, of German machine guns and an occasional rattle of rifle firing gave me the impression of a huge audience applauding the work of the batteries. Our 18-pounders were destroying the German barbed wire, while the heavier stuff was demolishing their trenches and bashing in dugouts or funk holes. Then Fritz got busy. Their shells went - screaming overhead, aimed in the direction of the flares from our batteries. Trench mortars started dropping "Minnies" in our front line. We clicked several casualties. Then they suddenly ceased. Our artillery had taped or silenced them. During the bombardment yon could almost read a newspaper in our trench. Sometimes in the flare of a shell-burst a man's body would be silhouetted against the parados of the trench and it appeared like a huge monster. You could hardly hear yourself think. When an order was t o be passed down the trench you had to yell I t using yonr hands as a funnel Into the ear of the man sitting next to yon on the fire step. In about twenty minutes a generous rum issue was doled o u t After drinking the ram, which tasted like varnish and sent a shudder through yonr frame, yon wondered why they made yon wait until the lifting of the barrage before going over. At ten minutes to four word was passed down, "Ten minutes to gol** Ten minutes to live I We were shivering all orer. My legs felt as If they were asleep. Then word was passed down: "First wave gat on and near the scaling tad* den,- ^ These were small wooden ladders which we had placed against tha para< pat to enable us to go over tha top on the lifting of the barraga. "Ladders of death" we called them, and veritably they were. Before a charge Tommy is the politest of men. There is never any pushing or crowding to be first up these ladders. We crouched around the base of the ladders waiting for the word to go over. I was sick and faint, and was puffing away at an unlighted fag. Then came the word, "Three minutes to go; upon the lifting of the barrage and on the blast of the whistles, 'Over the top with the best o' luck and give them hell.'" The famous phrase of the western front The Jonah phrase of the western front To Tommy it means if you are lucky enough to come back you will be minus an arm or a leg. Tommy hates to be wished the best of luck; so, when peace is declared, if it ever Is, and you meet a Tommy on the street, Just wish him the best of luck and duck the brick that follows, ^ I glanced again at my wrist watch. We all wore them and you could hardly call us "sissies" for doing so. It was a minute to four. I could see the hand move to the twelve, then a dead silence. It h u r t Everyone looked up to see what had happened, but not for long. Sharp whistle blasts rang out along the trench, and with a cheer the men scrambled up the ladders. The bullets were cracking overhead, and occasionally a machine gun would rip and tear the top of the sandbag parapet. How I got up that ladder I will never know. The first ten feet out in front was agony. Then we passed through lanes in our barbed wire. I knew I was running, but could feel no motion below the waist. Patches on the ground seemed to float to the rear as if I were on a treadmill and scenery was rushing past me. The Germans had put a barrage of shrapnel across No Man's Land, and you could hear the pieces slap the ground about you. After I had passed our barbed wire and gotten Into No Man's Land a Tommy about fifteen feet to my right front turned around and looking in ray direction, put his hand to his mouth and yelled something which I could not make out on account of the noise from the bursting shells. Then he coughed, stumbled, pitched forward and lay still. His body seemed to float to the rear of me. I could hear sharp cracks In the air about me. These were caused by passing rifle bullets. Frequently, to my right and left, little spurts of dirt would rise Into the air and a ricochet bnllet would whine on Its way. If a Tommy should see one of these little spurts In front of him, he would tell the nurse about It later. The crossing of No Man's Land remains a blank to me. Men on my right and left would stumble and fall. Some would try to get up, while others remained huddled and motionless. Then smashed-up barbed wire came Into view and seemed carried on a tide to the rear. Suddenly, In front of me loomed a bashed-ln trench about four feet wide. Queer-looking forms like mud turtles were scrambling up its wall. One of these forms seemed to slip and then rolled to the bottom of the trench. I leaped across this intervening space. The man to my left seemed to pause In midair, then pitched head down into the German trench. I laughed out loud in my delirium. Upon alighting on the other side of the trench I came to with a sudden jolt Right in front of me loomed a giant form with a rifle which looked about ten feet long, on the end of which seemed seven bayonets. These flashed in the air In front of me. Then through my mind flashed the admonition of our bayonet Instructor back in Blighty. He had .said, "whenever you get In a charge and run your bayonet up to the hilt into a German the Fritz will fall. Perhaps your rifle will be wrenched from your grasp. Do not waste time, if the bayonet Is fouled In his equipment by putting your foot on his stomach and tugging at the rifle to extricate the bayonet. Simply press the trigger and the bullet will free It** In my present situation this was the logic, but for the life of me I could not remember how he had told me to get my bayonet into the German. To me this was the paramount issue. I closed my eyes and longed forward. My rifle was torn from my hands. I must have gotten the German because he had disappeared. About twenty feet to my left front was a hnge Prussian nearly six feet four inches in height a fine specimen of physical manhood. The bayonet from his rifle waa missing, but he clutched tha barrel in both hands and was swinging the butt around his head, I could almost hear the swish of the butt passing through tha air. Three little Tommies wete engaged with hlttt. They looked like pigmies alongside of the PruiJifittft, The yuiujuy on liic left was gradually circling to the rear of bis opponent. It was u funny sight to see them duck the swinging butt and try to Jab him at the same time. The Tommy nearest me received the butt of the German's rifle in a smashing blow below the right temple. It smashed his head like an eggshell. He pitched forward on his side and a convulsive shudder ran through his body. Meanwhile the other Tommy had gained the rear of the Prussian. Suddenly about four Inches of bayonet protruded from the throat of the Prussian soldier, who staggered forward and fell. I will never forget the look of blank astonishment that came over his face. Then something hit me in the left shoulder and my left side went namb. It felt as If a hot poker was being driven through me. I felt no pain— Just a sort of nervous shock. A bayonet had pierced me from the rear. I fell backward on the ground, but was not unconscious, because I* could see dim objects moving around me. Then a flash of light in front of my eyes and unconsciousness. Something had hit me on the head. I have never found out what it was. I dreamed I was being tossed about in an open boat on a heaving sea and opened my eyes. The moon was shining. I was on a stretcher being carried down one of our communication trenches. At the advanced first-aid post my wounds were dressed, and then I was put Into an ambulance and sent to one of the base hospitals. The wounds In my shoulder and head were not serious and In six weeks I had rejoined my company for service In the front line. Empey Joins the "Suicide club." The thrilling details are told in the next installment. (TO B E CONTINUED.) DEADLY WEAPON OF WARFARE German Albatross is Probably the Most Powerful Machine That Has Yet Been Developed. The tendency in airplanes has been to run to two extremes—for fighting, as small and fast as possible; and for bombing, as large and powerful as possible. In a three-seated, one passenger sits out In front mounted In a machine-gun turret. The pilot comes next, Immediately behind the motor, while the second passenger sits behind him mounted in another machine- gun turret. This airplane Is capable of carrying many bunded pounds of explosives and, being very fast and heavily armed, generally accomplishes Its mission. The German albatross la capable of a horizontal speed of 300 kilometers (about 187 miles) an hour. It Is a single seater and carries three machine guns, which, being controlled by the motor, shoot automatically and simultaneously through the propeller. The sight of these weapons converges at approximately 50 yards In front of the airplane, making the chance of hitting the opponent three times aa sure. The motor is equipped with an electric self-starter. It has also electrical devices for keeping the water warm In the radiator while flying at great heights. The wing surface Is less than 20 square yards.—Scrlbner's. Silkworms of the Sea. Plenty of worms live In the sea, and some of them are very beautiful creatures. Which latter fact ought to be consoling to ourselves, inasmuch as there are naturalists who contend that the earliest ancestor of the human race was a marine worm. But the so-called "silkworm of the sea"—the designation being purely figurative and poetical— Is a bivalve mollusk properly known as the "pinna" and native to the Mediterranean. It spins a silk so beautiful that in ancient days the fiber was reserved exclusively for the weaving of royal garments. This silk Is spun by the mollusk to furnish an anchor line by which It fastens Itself to a convenient rock. It Is extremely fine and very strong. Cleaned, dried and passed through combs, It Is reduced to delicate threads of a lustrous brownishyellow hue, which are woven into gloves, stockings and other articles.

'•>''>': •<-.£* - ^ : • X * MAY FESTIVAL The Ann Arbor Festival, May IS-16- 17 will bring together a wealth of musical talent such as has seldom (before boon assembled. Not only will it provide a feast of brilliant music for music lovers, but in many ways it will take on the aspects of an important patriotic demonstration. A Choral Union service flag of 53 stars will be diapUyalong side of "Old Glory" while each program of the festival will be featured with patriotic music. At the opening concert, Wednesday evening, before the beginning of the formal program Frederick Stock will lead the orchestra, chorus and audience in the singing of "America". In the same program the two distinguished oprratic atars, Margarete Matzenauer, and Ticcardo Stracciari, in apdition to the formal numbers assigned to them, will each make patriotic contributions, Madame Matzenauer -ingirg the Freach | anthem, "The Marseillaise', and Stracciari, a patriotic Italian air, entitled "My Flag", particularly significant in view of the fact that he has two sons at the Italian front one of whom not yet )& years of age has been honered with a Lieutenant's commission for valiant service. Thursday evening Caesar Francis's menomental oratorio "The Beatitudes' Will receive its initial Ann Arbor performance. The work is a beautifdl composition with brilliant choral passages and orchestral and ariys requiring the services of thegreatest soloiets. I t is significant that this work will be given by a cast all of whom are Americans. By special request the program wiH be preceded by Dr. Stanley's "Hymn of Consecraaion" dedicated to the times and especially written for last year's Festival. Its sentiments are deep and strong and worthy of the important period through which we are passing. \ At the Friday Afternoon Program the children will contribute '"Into the World", a composition in absolute harmony with the spirit of these fateful days. The children wiH also sing "America", while the evening's program, at which Claudia Muzio, the distinguished Italian Soprano, will be the star, will be preceded by "The Star Spangled Banner". At the Organ Recital Saturday afternoon given by Josep'i Bonnet, the emfrient French Organist, the audience will be led in the singing of patriotic songs by Earl V. Moore, with accompaniment by Mr. Bonnet. The performance of "Carmen" on Saturday evening, in whieh the operatic stars, Matzenauer, Martinelli, de Luca, Middleton, Sharlow, will be heard, will be precebad by the singing the " S t a r Spangled Banner" and at t h e close of the formal program, as B ft - ting climax to the week of music, the aucience, chorus, and orchestra will unite in a triumphant rendition of "America." MISSIONARY The meeting at Mrs. H. F. Sigler's was a success. A large number of ladies assembled to hear Miss Edith Bell tell of her work in South Africa. She delivered her message rapidly and so enthusiastioally that the attention of every lady was held throughout her long address and inspired all with zeal. Miss Bell told of her arrival in Africa. The chief promised hk- influence in starting a school and they were taken out into a trackless meadow, arriving just at night. N a h \ « came to them to see why they wvri- there and were pleased. The next morning at dawn forty children presented themselves as pupils. Without equipment of any kind, without any building she had to begin. They soon made a hut of the long meadow grass which served very well during the dry season. She and the girls took clay and experimented till they could make good bricks and before she came on her furlough after having been there over four years they had made 60,000 bricks and had more comfortable homes. She bought a tract of land containing 3500 acres for one cent an sere. She has promise of a tractor to take baek with her and wishes some one would give a span of amies, A young ladies branch wis organized with 17 members and six members added to ths W. F. II. S. A social hour was held and everyone wae reloetaat to let Miss Bell go. No worthier cause has ever existed than the Red Cross. It is aet charity to contribute to it's support Good citizenship has many compensations, bat none are greater than tee reettlta of the Red Cross. Coese ovt to the concert Saturday evening. Claims Are All Right But Only Proofs Count Any maker m a y claim for his product all the qualities there are. That It U | privilege. He ]may even think his claims are justified. You read the advertisements, so you know t h a t makers, as a rule, art not Q j p modest in t h a t regard. If you believe them all, they all make super-cars. In your experience, t h a t theory doesn't hold. Maxwell is different. We never claim anything we cannot prove. As a matter of fact we never have claimed anything for this Maxwell that has not already been proved in public test and under official observation. Maxwell claims are not therefore .claims in the ordinary sense—they are State* ments of fact —proven facts. They are, in every case, matters of official record attested under oath. For example: The famous 22,000-mile Non-Stop run was made with the Maxwell every minute under observation of the A. A. A. officials. That still remains a world's record- the world's record of reliability. That particular test proved about all that anyone could ask or desire of a motor car. Among other things it still stands the world's long distance speed record. Just consider—44 days and nights without a stop, at an average speed of 25 miles per hour! And that, not by a $2,000 car, but by a stock model Maxwell listing at $825.* You will recall perhaps that a famous high powered, high priced six in a transcontinental trip made 28 miles average over a period of five days and eleven hours. Now compare those two feats—one of less than six days, the other of 44 days. You know automobiles—which was the greater test? Is there any comparison on grounds either of speed or endurance? Proves ycu don't need to pay more than $826 to obtain all the qualities you can desire in a motor car—if you select a Maxwell.

Five seconds after he had pulled the switch plug and stopped the motor after the 44 days and m^hts continuous running, she was started again and off on a thousand mile jaunt to visit various Maxwell dealers. How is that for precision—certainty of action? That incident brought a storm of applause from the assembled thousands. Hill climbing?—this Maxwell holds practically every record worth mentioning-^ especially in the West where the real hills are. % The Mount Wilson record—nine and one-half miles, 6,000 feet elevation!—waa taken by a stock Maxwell. Two months ago a 12-cylinder car beat that record by two minutes. Then- three days later—a stock Maxwell went out and beat that 12-cylinder recoici by thirty seconds! Pretty close going for such a distance and such a climb 'v, arn't it? So r.lawveli still holds the Mount Wilson honors. Ready to defend it against all comers too, at any time—a stock Maxwell against any stock or special chassis. Economy— also a matter of official record. Others may claim—Maxwell proves. Thousands of Maxwell owners throughout the United States on the same day averaged 29.4 miles per gallon of gasoline. Not dealers or factory experts, mind you, but owners—thousands of them— driving their own Maxwells. Nor were they new Maxwells the contest was made by 1915, 16, and 17 models; many of which had seen tens of thousands miles of service—three years' use. Nor could they choose their own road or weather conditions—all kinds were encountered in the various sections of the country. Good roads and bad—level country and mountainous regions—heat and cold— sunshine and rain—asphalt and mud. And the average was 29.4 miles per gallon! There's economy for you. And under actual'average driving conditions—not laboratory test. B u t that isn't all. The greatest achievement of this Maxwell was in its showing of speed and relit* biXty and economy all in the same run. In t h a t 44 days-and-nights Non-Stop rmn, though no thought was given to either speed or economy, it still remains a fact of official record that the Maxwell averaged 22 miles per gallon and 25 miles per hour. Now you know t h a t speed costs—and t h a t economy tests are usuaMy made i t slow-speed—closed-throttle, thin-mixture conditions. You know too t h a t you can obtain economy of fuel by building and HjttfUtg for that one condition. Speed you can get by building for speed. Any engineer can do tkafc But to obtain that combination of speed and economy with the fradtffct reliability shown in that 44-days Non-Stop run—that eft mutt kt A MtXWtlJ m :¾ -**&£ . - * • * *-?) .-4 v .+W *• • • - • < • » :u mA 'v/- -¾ :*;''< * * ( .v m, <%' * " -. :^ &&K $ * •4,<v / V r,'.<> e r: ^ PINCKNEY DISPATCH • » • •5*31 .•1' [k-.\ , * \ h . -"V '::• ifc^V ^ let Contents 15 Fluid D* i9oo DROPS A\^clabteJVcpantt^oi*fAa I similatinilfteroodty^*:; I tin^theSttaaadgattdBgieb£j V !

BURLESON MADE MAIL CENSOR Washington—By a vote of 48 to 26 the senate on May 4 adopted the conference report on the new espionage bill designed to suppress disloyal utterances and Increase the postmaster1 general's censorship over the press. The action was a complete victory for administration. Te bill flees 20 years' imprisonment and 110,000 fine as the penalty for uttering or publishing disloyal or seditious language. Opponents of the measure who have contended that freedom of Bpeech and of the press would be curtailed lost their fight to strike out a clause giving the postmaster general authority to withhold mail believed to violate the espionage laws. The bill was initiated a year ago. It amends the espionage act and, with the "woman spy" bill recently passed completes the cycle of legislation urged by the department of justice as necessary to clothe the government with power to deal with sedition and disloyalty and prevent mob violence which has resulted, for the departments, inability to obtain convictions of persons making disloyal utterances. That the legislation is unnecessary, unconstitutional, too drastic and confers too wide discretion upon admin» istrative officials have been the principal arguments of those opposing it. The final vote was along non-partisan lines, many Republicans joining a majority of the Democrats in supporting the legislation. * Two Democrats, Senators Hardwick, Georgia, and Reed, Missouri, joined with 24 Republicans in opposition. As redrafted by the conferees, the bill's penalties apply, during the war, to persons wilfully uttering "disloyal, profane, scurrilous or abusive language about the form of the government of the United States the constitution, the military or naval forces, the flag or uniform of the United States or any language intended to bring the form of government of the United States, the constitution, the military or naval forces, the flag or uniform of the United States into contempt, scorn, contumely or disrepute." It also penalizes language "intended to incite, provoke or encourage resistance to the United States or to promote the cause of its enemies" and willful display of the flag of any enemy nation. RECORD IN SHIPBUILDING MADE New Jersey Yard Completes 330 Foot Vessel in Less Than Month. Washington—What is said to be a world's record for shipbuilding was established Sunday in the launching of the 5,550-ton steel collier Tuckahoe by the New York Shipbuilding company, of Camden, N. J., in less than a month from the time the keel was laid. Completion of the vessel in so short a time is regarded by shipping board officials as one of the most remarkable industrial achievements in history. They said nothing like such a record is known for such a large vessel. The Tuckahoe was to have been delivered June 15, but takes its place under the flag 41 days ahead of time. The Tuckahoe is 330 feet long, 50 feet broad and will have a speed of 10 1-2 knots. KALAMAZOO HAS $130,000 FIRE Backfire of Motor 8tarts Blaze On Tank Motor Truck. Kalamazoo. Mich.—Backfire from the engine of a Standard Oil motor truck caused at $130,000 fire In the Ford garage here. The driver of the machine had just finished filling a large gasoline tank and had started to drive away when the engine exploded. In an instant the rear of the truck was In flames. Gasoline then began to pour out of the truck tanks, causing a stream of fire from the street to the garage. As soon as the flames reached the oilsoaked floors of the garage, the large three-story building waa a (teething furnace. The loss to the Ford agency will approximate $126,000. _The rest of the lose was suffered by owners of adjoining building. Fixes Penalty of $10,000 Fine and 20 Years' Imprisonment for Disloyal Utterances. A Business Should be as Big as Its Job If bigness is of benefit to the public it should be commended. The size of a business depends upon the needs which that business is called upon to serve. A business should be as big aa its job. You do not drive tacks with a piledriver— or piles with a tack-hammer. Swift & Company's growth has been the natural and inevitable result of national and international needs. Large-scale production and distribution are necessary to convert the live stock of the West into meat and by-producta, and to distribute them over long distances to the consuming centers of the East and abroad. Only an organization like that of Swift & Company, with its many packing plants, hun* dreds of distributing houses, and thousands of refrigerator cars, would have been able to handle the varying seasonal supplies of live stock and meet the present war emergency by supplying, without interruption: Firar—The U. S. soldiers and the Allies in Europe by shipping as much as 8 0 0 carloads of meat products in a single week! Second— The cantonments in the United States.

Flying Cadet Reber, during the rourse of his spherical balloon training at San Antonio, Tex., while on his solo flight and proceeding along about 12 miles an hour on the guide rope, saw a cowboy and pony crossing the fleldahead of him. The cowboy without invitation, leaned down, caught the guide rope and tied it to the horn of his saddle. This -was the signal for the pony to plant his front feet. Much to the surprise of the cowboy and more so to the pony, the balloon proceeded along its way. After being dragged across the field the cowboy threatened to shoot the pilot unless he stopped. The situation was finally relieved by the cowboy exchanging his revolver for a knife and cutting away the guide rope, leaving a knot on the horn of the saddle as a souvenir.—From Flying. $100 Reward, $100 Catarrh-is a local disease greatly influenced by constitutional conditions.

FIND IT IS TIME-SAVER Can Be Applied in L e w Than One- Half Time Required for Operation of Spraying. By W. C. DUTTON. Experiment Station, Michigan Agricultural College. East Lansing, Mich.—The use of sulp h u r and a r s e n a t e of lead applied in t h e form of dust as a substitute for t h e s t a n d a r d liquid sprays to prevent t h e most prevalent apple orchard troubles eueh as scab (Venturia inaequalis) codling moth, bud moth, leaf-roller and others, has been developed to a considerable extent during the last t h r e e or four years. Experiments were accordingly begun by the college at Morrlce, Shiawassee county, in 1915, and in other places In 1916 and 1917 to determine if possible the efficiency of dusts, t h e best formulae to use and to a limited extent the relative costs of this method under Michigan orchard conditions. Materials Used. The sulphur used in this work w a s very fine, the manufacturers guaranteeing that 95 per cent of it would pass through a 200-mesh screen and factory results by dusting when t h e foliage wus dry. It Is very doubtful If the extra ^application of dust made in July had uny beneficial effect a s weather conditions were not favorable for scab infection before t h e August amplication. Comparative Costa. Dust can be applied in less than one-half the time required for the actual operation of spraying, exclusive of time necessary for refilling sprayer tank. The cost of material for dusting has been more than for spraying. A comparison of the time required per tree and total cost of labor and material for one and four applications la shown in table below. The difference in t h e total cost of the two methods for extensive commercial operations would undoubtedly be smaller than is shown here. Insect Control. No data w a s secured about insect control because there h a s never been enough Insect injury on t h e untreated trees to give an accurate check as to the efficiency of the dust for this purpose. Experiments in New York h a v e shown that the leaf-roller and codling moth can be controlled t h e r e by t h e dusting method. This work leads u s to believe that t h e dusting method will control the insects in Michigan orchards. Conclusions. This summary is intended simply t o show the progress of t h e experiments that have been conducted for t h e last three years with t h e sulphur dusts. No definite conclusions a r e intended to be drawn at this time from this work as t h e use of dusting material as a substitute for liquid mixtures is still in the experimental stage. If this method of control continues to develop as rapidly as during the past few years, It will prove of great value to many apple growers, largely be- Comparative Cost of Dusting and Spraying.

The a r s e n a t e of lead was also exceedingly fine, one manufacturer stating that his product would pass through the finest screen obtainable. In some of the work mixtures were used which contained some inert filler or diluent such as gypsum or hydrated lime. The dusting h a s all been done in direct comparison with the standard dilute lime-sulphur and arsenate of lead. What were the results? In 1915 scab was not controlled very successfully by either dusting or spraying. A large percentage of t h e scabby fruit was caused by late infections. T h e weather conditions were very favorable for scab development after J u n e 13. If extra applications had been made better control of scab would probably have been secured. This brings out the occasional need for an extra t r e a t m e n t in seasons of frequent rains. T h e results at harvest showed the sprayed trees to have 10 p e r cent less of scabby fruit than the dusted trees. Other factors probably affecting the results in the dusted plot were Inexperience with the dusting method, a duster too small for satisfactory work and the application of dust from one side of the trees only. In 1916, dusting failed almost entirely to control apple scab. The control of scab on the sprayed plot of fitarks was very poor.< This Is possibly explained by* the fact that t h e " p i n k " application w a s made before t h e blossom buds had all separated in the clusters. T h e control in t h e other • p r a y e d plots w a s very much better t h a n In the dusted plots. T h e periods of Infection were all In the early p a r t of t h e season. In 1915 they were all late In t h e season. T h e dusting method gave very satisfactory results in 1917. T h e results equaled those secured In t h e sprayed plots. T h e season w a s like t h a t of 1916 in t h a t t h e Infection periods w e r e all early in the summer. T h e control of scab on the fruit w a s very satisfact o r y In most plots. T h e condition of jfoHage in t h e dusted plot at Muir w a s 'much better than on t h e sprayed t r e e s b e c a u s e of the spray Injury on t h e latt e r . At Beldlng t h e r e was little difference in t h e condition of t h e foliage of t h e two plots. At Morrice t h e foliage of t h e dusted trees w a s free from injury but showed s o m e scab, "While on t h e sprayed trees there WEB n o scab but some spray injury. It Is not possible to tell Just w h y t h e results with dusting were so m u c h [more satisfactory in 1917 t h a n i n pre* vious years. T h i s success m a y h a v e been due to one or all of t h e following factors—mor« efficient application of d u s t finer m a t e r i a l s . o r more timely application with relation to Infection period*. Better results were obtained at Morrice and Ifutr, where much of the dusttog WM done when the tree* were wet wtth either rain or dew than at Betdng, where the trees were always dry [when material was applied. Bereral jejewera, however, hare secured aetiav cause of the ease and rapidity of application. Suggestions. For the benefit of fruit growers w h o may care to use the dusting method at this time, a few suggestions m a y prove helpful. A duster of sufficient capacity a n d power should be used. Efficient work cannot be done with an undersized machine. Special dusting sulphur should always be used. The ordinary grades of sulphur a r e not satisfactory. Home-mixing of materials should not be tried unless a special mixing machine is used. Applications should be made from two opposite directions and preferably when there is not any wind. Unlike spraying, dusting can be safely done when the foliage is w e t More applications of dust than a r e usually made of t h e liquid sprays will probably be desirable. However, t h e number will depend largely upon weather conditions. T h e applications of dust should, of course, be made before scab infection periods. Cool and rainy weather is favorable to scab development. The horticultural department also conducted a dusting experiment with peaches in 1917 b u t ' n o definite conclusions could b e d r a w n from the results of this work a s there was so very little injury by Insects o r diseases In t h e u n t r e a t e d plots. This work Indicated, however, t h a t peaches can be dusted safely and that peach scab and brown r o t can be controlled by dusting.

Hessian Fly, Cinch Bug and Army Worm Ready For Offensive Ravages of Cinch Bug shown. Plant at left not attacked; plant at right attacked. ROBERT H. MOULTON. HAT the United States is already invaded, not by Germans, it is true, but by their effective allies, and that a great host of these are intrenched In the grain fields is an assertion hard to believe at first, but It is nevertheless strictly true, for the cinch bug Is pro-German ID our present war, the Hessian fly is still HeBslan, and the army worm Is an ally of the German army. Our duty of helping to feed our fighting friends being paramount, that of protecting and defending the food supplies we produce Is as essential as their production. As a matter of fact, Incurring the expense of producing crops and then letting them fall a prey to our insect enemies is "worse than not producing them at all, and the official entomologists of the different states are being mobilized for special service In crop protection. These men are but a handful, however—not enough for an efficient patrol—and so they are calling upon the people for such assistance as they can easily give by keeping watch for the common enemy and reporting the first traces of his appearance In numbers sufficient to threaten serious Injury. What these field insects are capable of In the way of crop destruction Is fairly well known, and what the farmer may do for the protection of his crops can best be intrusted to the hands of various state entomologists, whose business it Is by bomb, gas and other means to kill these allies of the foe. Consider two fields of corn, both lying next to heavily infested fields of wheat One Is protected by a circle of oil about Its borders. The other Is unprotected. The unprotected corn is entered by the Insects without hindrance as the ripening of the wheat deprives them of food, and a large part of the corn Is destroyed, as shown by the part of the field laid bare next to the wheat. In the other field not a hill of corn is hurt.

Finally, a good as the "broom sedges," which grow abundantly in uncultivated places throughout the greater portion of the main wheat belt of the United States. It is the usual habit of the cinch bug first to attack fields of wheat, rye, or barley, and Its presence often is unnoticed because the injuries inflicted upon these crops are obscure or of no apparent importance. About harvest time the bugs leave the small grains and crawl over the surface of the ground to the nearest fields of corn, where they begin at once to wreak severe Injury. Corn fields may be protected and the migrating bugs trapped about the time of wheat harvest by plowing a deep furrow along the edge of the field, running the land side of the plow toward the field to be protected. In dry weather the side of the furrow can be made so smooth and the sides so steep that the bugs will find It easier to crawl along the bottom than to climb up the sides. Circular holes from 30 to 40 feet apart, made with a post-hole digger, then may be dug In the bottom of the trench. Into these holes the bugs will fall In large numbers, and here they may be killed easily by sprinkling kerosene oil over them. In wet weather a line of liquid tar or crude petroleum, which the bugs will not cross, may be maintained In the furrow bottom. Hessian Fly Is Old Foe. Another notorious insect whose function it Is. in the order of nature, to take bread out of our mouths Is the Hessian fly, so called because Hessian soldiers, hired from their sovereign by King George III, were believed to have brought it over from Europe during It and the Infested wheat catches the the revolutionary war.

After the Hessian fly has once thorrotatlon of crops should be practiced wherever possible, and the co-operation of the entire community secured in following these preventive measures. Daily Action Is Necessary. The army worm, known as a pest of the fanner from early colonial times. and the locusts or grasshoppers often multiply under favorable conditions to numbers sufficient to devour great areas of both grain and forage crops. Both may be killed easily If attacked in time by sowing broadcast among them a poisoned food which they prefer to the grain and grass plants on which they naturally feed. But this method requires, as a rule, early notice of the impending calamity, prompt organization of the communities concerned for self-defense and general arrangements for the quick supply of all tho necessary materials in wholesale quantities—all measures for which careful preparation must be made In advance. In case the worms are not discovered until they have begun to travel in a mass, usually they can be destroyed by furrowing or ditching completely around the infested area. The worms will fall into the ditches and can be killed easily by crushing them with a log—hitched to a horse or mule—dragged back and forth through the ditch or furrow. Another method Is to dig shallow postholes In the bottom of the ditch at Intervals of about 20 feet, into which the worms, crawling along the ditch bottoms, will fall. They can then be destroyed by crushing or other means. lighting the Cutworm. The cutworm injury, which usually consists in the cutting off the plants at or a little below the surface of the ground, almost invariably occurs in the spring, beginning as soon as the first plants sprout and continuing until late June or early July, by which time the worms are full grown. The worms feed at night and rest during the day beneath debris or in the soil from onehalf to one Inch below the surface, and since In most cases they resemble the soil closely in color the cause of the injury often is not apparent Poisoned baits are effective when cutworms are found to be abundant on corn land, but proper rotation of crops Is the best preventive measure. Pasturing hogs upon land supposed * to harbor cutworms is a beneficial practice, as these animals root up and devour insects of many kinds, Including cutworms, in, large numbers.

United States, according to careful of the wheat The remedies for the Hessian fly are, therefore, entirely preventive. One is to plow down the wheat stubble Immediately after harvest in order to destroy* the maggots which remain in It This is for the protection of future crops. Another is to pay great attention to the preparation of the seedbed for the wheat by plowing early and working and packing the soli thoroughly in order to eliminate tumps and clods, thus producing a finely pulverised, compact, and moisture-conserving bed for the seed. Care should computations and estimates made by the experts of the national department of agricu'ture. It is a prize worth lighting for, especially In these times of threatened scarcity of food.

The children were Clarence, aged seven, Charles, aged five and Louise, aged two. Sheriff Newell M. Bradford, Ithaca, declared that Wittig, who was arrested late in the day, confessed he slew Kimball, his wife and the oldest son, but did not recall killing the younger children. Sheriff Bradford says the only motive given by Wittig for the crime was that he resented an epithet applied to him by Kimball, following a quarrel over charges made by Kimball for repairs on Wittig's automobile. The Kimball family had been keeping house for Wittig, who is a bachelor, and working his farm. ROOSEVELT IN DETROIT MAY 30 Colonel Reported to Be Back In His Old Fighting Form.

NOWHSTE IN A PttCKOGE OP PosntMtsriES J$aus49bdVfe; Corn Food Good fcTbe Last Flake From Department of Entomology, Michigan Agricultural College. East Lansing, Mich.—Not what poisons to use, but how much to use—this is what bothers the housewife and gardener when of a spring or summer morning tiiey awaken to find their vegetable plot overrun with voracious insect Invaders. In such emergencies instructions for controlling the unwelcome visitors are usually sought for in the spray solutions with which the experiment stations of the states and the department of agriculture of the United States have so thoughtfully supplied the producing public—but unfortunately these instructions are as a ruie helpful only to the big grower who c&n use spray poisons in quantities of a barrel or more. It is possible, however, to reduce these quantities to the smaller amounts necessary In the home garden, and this has been done for the benefit of housewives and owners of small patches of ground. Measures. For convenience, the following equivalents of measures are given : Two eupfuls of liquid or dry material equal 1 pint. Four eupfuls of liquid or dry material equal 1 quart. Sixteen eupfuls of liquid or dry material equal 1 gallon. Three teaspoonfuls equal 1 tablespoonful. The poisons the gardener finds commonest use for are kerosene emulsion, nicotine, pyrethrum, arsenate of lead and poison bran mash. In small quantities, enough for Instance for a few rows of potatoes or a small patch of garden vegetables, these may be made up as follows: Kerosene Emulsion. Kerosene (coal oil) 2 eupfuls. Laundry soap, 1 cubic inch. Soft water, 1 cupful. Dilute to required strength. Shave one cubic inch of laundry soap Into a cupful of boiling soft water, and when dissolved pour into It two eupfuls of kerosene oil. Mix thoroughly with an egg-beater until It has creamy appearance. This is the stock solution and must be diluted before using. As a dormant or winter spray against scale, Insects, it should be diluted at the rate of one part of the stock solution to three or four of water. For plant-lice or lice on domestlcnted animals It should be diluted at the rate of one part of the stock solution to 10 to 15 parts of water, or mix one cupful of the emulsion in three quarts of water. This Is effective against scale Insects, plant-Uce and anlmal-llce. Nicotine. Nicotine sulphate (40 per cent) 1 teaspoonful. Soap, 1 cubic Inch. Water, S quarts. Into a quart of warm water share a cubic inch of laundry soap. When dissolved pour on two more quarts of water and add a teaspoonful of 40 per cent nicotine sulphate. Stir well and It is ready for use. This will control plant-lice, white-fly, pear psylla, etc. Pyrethrum. Pyrethrum, 2 teaspoonfuls. Water, 1 quart. Pyrethrum Is generally used In the powdered form and dusted on plants either clear or mixed with lime or sulphur. It can also be nsed as a spray by pnttlng two tablespoonfuls of the pyrethrum Into a qnart of water and stirring well. The powder will not dissolve but will remain In suspension. It kills Insects but Is harmless to man. Pyrethrum should be purchased from airtight packages for If fresh material is not nsed good results cannot be expected. This can be used against cabbage- worms, etc. Arsenate of Lead. Arsenate of lead (powdered), 8 tablespoonfuls, or arsenate of lead paste, 1 tablespoonful. Water, 1 gallon. Place the arsenate of lead In a cup and add a little water, stirring it until it makes a thin paste. Pour this Into a dish and add entongn water to make a gallon. It is then ready for use and should be kept agitated or the lead will settle. If arsenate of lead paste is used it will require twice as much, by weight, as the powdered form. The powdered arsenate of lead la much lighter than the pu.ste of the »ume bulk so that apparently more of the powder is being used.' For potato beetles use The poison twice as strong, as they are more resistant than most of the chewing Inserts. Potato beetles, codling luoth, caterpillars on plants, flea-beetles and oilier chewing Insects can be controlled with this poison. Poison Bran-Mash. Bran, 1 quart. Paris green ur white arsenic, 1 tea spoonful. Molasses, 3 tablespoonfuls. Orange, V*. (chopped fine). Water, to make a good mash. Mix the bran and the poison well together. Put the molasses In a cup of water and after stirring add to the bran mixture. Grind up a quarter of an orange or halt" a lemon and mix all together. Add enough more water to make a good stiff mash. To get the best results from tills mixture It should be put out in the evening so that it will be fresh by morning. Cure should be taken not to allow poultry to run where this Is being used. This will kill cutworms, army worms, grassbopers, etc. In the following the above directions one should for the most part, use old dishes. When not in use, these dishes should be kept in a place by themselves to avoid the danger of their being used for. cooking purposes. WRIGLEYS Six reasons Iaf sg ood friend: WAGE FIGHT ON BARBERRY High Variety of Shrub Must Go—Assists Spread of Stem Rust of Wheat. By DR. G. H. COON9, Plant Pathologist, Michigan Agricultural College. East Lansing, Mich.—A fight is in progress in Michigan against the-highbush barberry—every bush of which has been ordered pulled up and destroyed by the state inspector of nurseries. This official has also gone a step further and established a quarantine by which the importation of this shrub into the state has become a misdemeanor. Why this harsh treatment for what most of us have up to this time considered a harmless garden shrub? The facts are that while it may have become an unwilling partner to the crime, the high-bush barberry nevertheless aids and abets the spread of black stem rust of wheat. As a costly disease of wheat this affliction of the grain crop is always unwelcome, but as it happens it is more than commonly undesirable this spring because of its fondness for spring wheat, of which Michigan farmers have put In much more than their usual acreage. In fact stem rust has had almost as much to do with making spring wheat generally unprofitable in Michigan as has the weather itself. Wherefore, war has been declared against the high-bush barberry, for without the common barberry to spread the rust in the spring, this disease would cease to be a serious factor In Michigan agriculture. The common barberry and Its purple- leafed varieties are tall, rather scraggly bushes. Landscape gardeners state that the bushes are not highly esteemed, though they were very popular at one time. They are now found spread all over the state In yards and parks. The bush does not grow wild in Michigan. From each of these bushes in the spring the spores of the rust blow to the common grasses in countless numbers, and for long distances. In about a week the grasses rust and furnish an Innumerable supply of spores. The wind catches these up and greater and greater Infection of grains and grasses results. Over and over this story Is repeated until no grain field Is free from attack. It is In this way that a barberry bush, miles away, can be a menace tv. our food crop. Fortunately the Japanese barberry which is highly prized for decorative purposes. Is completely Immune, and is not concerned at all with the wheat rust. It is extremely important that everyone recognize the harmlessneas of this low and beautiful shrub in order that it may not suffer for the Inr lquities of its relative.

Gazette.] Back of t h e German lines every ounce of food Is conserved a n d distributed with fairly equitable precision; every y a r d of cloth is numbered and entered into t h e w a r strength of the empire. Every pennyweight of German coal is handled with scientific care, a n d t h e one end and aim of all this autocratic control of food and clothing and heat Is t h e winning of the war. T h e r e is no o t h e r purpose -in the German mind. Every G e r m a n m a r k is a G e r m a n ' s o l d i e r ; every grain of gold is doing i t s full share t o work out that indomitable purpose. Here In America we must realize that t h e w a r will not be won on any front, b u t in o u r own hearts. This Is a clash of civilizations. We m u s t develop in our h e a r t s a democratic purpose a s strong and a s carefully directed as this autocratic purpose of Germany. We, too, m u s t make soldiers of our cornstalks, defenders of our wool, cotton and silk, make every pound of coal an American pound, and we must make bullets of our pennies. If we failv to develop this democratic purpose In the eye-to-eye, knee-to-knee, hand-to-hand .struggle on t h e front, t h r u our c o n i - zation will do down.

CITES SOLDIERS' PATRIOTISM. MaJ. Gen. Getty Points t o Boys Who Subscribe for Liberty Bonds. By BRIG. GEN. ROBERT N. GETTY, [Commandant a t Camp Dodge, Iowa.] W h a t does the real soldier of today think of the Liberty loan? J u s t a s h e thinks of every other measure adopted by h i s government to p u t a spoke in the wheels of t h e machine t h a t will carry him to victory. His enthusiasm can be explnined best by depicting the manner In which he offered his pay dowr. t o t h o last few p e r n l e s to h i s government when the last Liberty loan wtvf) launched. Many of t h e soldiers allotted so much of their pay that the war department found, it necessary to authorize the discontinuance of some of these allotments that t h e soldier might have a. small amount left for his personal use. Our American soldier 1? the personification of patriotism, l i e is a living example of what his brothers bark home would do well to imitate if their loudly proclaimed desires to help t h e cause for humanity's sake a r e sincere, lie is giving up his family, h i s home inuuvsts, often'mr his life, a n d Is now more than willing that his monthly pay should revert to the coffers of his country if it will materially assist in winnine the war. He lc giving his all, and willingly. He only asks for a chance to tigbt and that his brothers who cannot bear a r m s will stand back of him. I am proud of these men a n d t h e fervor and spirit they display. It will be a great honor when that day arrives to lead them into battle, knowing they who have given everything will fight to t h e last man.

WEARY PEOPLE WANT PEACE DRUGGISTS AID UNCLE SAM Pro-German Nobles Banded Together to Depose Monarch—Berlin Gives Charles Cold Shoulder. Amsterdam—Humiliated abroad and tirtualiy friendless at home, Emperor Charles of Austria is today in a position closely resembling that of ex-Czar Nicholas of Russia in the last phase of his reign. Moreover, internal conditions in the dual monarchy bear a striking similarity to the great sub-surface murmur which finally broke out in open revolt at Petrograd a year ago last March. In a roundabout way it has become known that Germany has made certain "declarations" which have gravely offended certain circles in Vienna. Due to these "declarations," Premier Seydler again has tendered his resignation. The inference is that Berlin has demanded iron clad guarantees from Vienna against the recurrence of the Charles-Prince Slxtus affair. Just as the Russian grand dukes . formed a camarilla against the czar, when they saw his throne was toppling, so the Austrian archdukes have just banded together and flung the threat of overthrow into the face of the discredited emperor-king. Charles, turning to Berlin, is met by the icy stare of the kaiser, who has not yet said his last word regarding the Hapsburg ruler's peace bid to France, and the German militarists are aching for a chance to "punish the faithless ally" to save whom they time and-again S^Jiad to disarrange their fondest plans. ;.'•• At home a multi-racial, war-weary * people is demanding peace, bread and .¾ electoral freedom.

All these losses have been made good. The munition ministry, said Mr. Churchill, placed at the disposal of air and ground services more than twice the number of guns lost or destroyed in the battle in France.

TEUTON PEOPLE PERTURBED OVER FAILURE OF BIG DRIVE French and British Armies, Fighting W i t h Backs to W a l l , Hold Off Advance of Hindenbui Outcome Still in Doubt. London—The entire Allied line in France and Flanders still stands firmly. Nowhere have the Germans been able to make a further dent in it. Hard fighting has been in progress on the Ypres sector around Voormezeele and to the south of Locre. Both places have changed hands several times, but according to reports of April 28, Voormezeele had been recaptured by the British and the Germans had obtained another foothold in Locre. Voormezeele was taken by the Germans Saturday, but the British in a night attack won it back, and since have held it, inflicting heavy casualties on the Germans in renewed efforts to take the place. The Germans have tried at several points along the front held by the French to pierce the line, but everywhere have been repulsed, notably in St. Mihiel and Luneville sectors, where recently American troops were stationed. Foe Pauses In Offensive. As a whole there is no material change in the situation along the entire front over that of last week, and it is evident the Germans are not prepared for the present to resume the offensive which has cost them so dearly in men killed, wounded or made prisoners. Reports coming to London are to the effect that in Germany there is much perturbation over the inability to pierce the Allied lines and depression over the losses suffered. Kemmel Hill Recaptured. London—By one of those "back to the wall" stands for which they have been famous in this war, the Franco- British forces saved the situation last Saturday in the Ypres sector from turning into an immediate big success for the Germans after the loss by the allied forces of the dominating peak of Kemmel. Had the enemy been able immediately to develop his success in the Kemmel sector, as he attempted to do, the result probably would have been disastrous to the allied troops in the Ypres salient. The military situation in Flanders as a whole does not seem to be a particularly happy one from the allied viewpoint. The scheme of the entente high command, however, it is pointed out, does not appear to be particularly regardful for the map, except where vital positions are threatened and confidence is expressed in the ability of the allies under their unified leadership to keep the situation well within their grasp on the northern as well as the southern battlefronts. French Counter Attack Successful. Paris—Counter attacks against the German lines from Villers-Bretonneux to south of the Luce were launched by our troops, who succeeded, despite the fierce resistance of the enemy, who had brought up important forces, in retaking a large part of the ground which had been lost In that region, says the official statement issued by the war office April 26. Both Sides Use Tanks. London—Tanks went Into action on both sides for the first time in history in the battle about Villers-Bretonneux, the German tanks appeared at the beginning of the engagement and by noon the British tanks joined in the fray. The latter did heavy execution when they go among the enemy Infantry. Marines Lose 274 Men. Washington—Marines fighting in France have had a total of 274 casualties, marine corps headquarters announced on April 25. The casualties were divided as follows: Officers wounded, 4; enlisted men killed, 34, and enlisted men wounded, *S6. ^ One company lost 31 men killed and 140 wounded out of a total strength, of 260 men.

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. CHAPTER V I I I . The Little Wooden Cross. After remaining In rest billets for eight days, we received the unwelcome tidings that the next morning we would "go in" to "take over." At six In the morning our march started and, after a long march down the dusty road, we again arrived at reserve billets. I was No. 1 In the leading set of fours. The man on my left was named "Pete Walling," a cheery sort of fellow. H e laughed and joked all the way on the march, buoying up my drooping spirits. I could not figure out anything nttractlve In again occupying the front line, but Pete did not seem to mind, said it was all in a lifetime. My left heel was blistered from the rubbing of my heavy marching boot Pete noticed that I was limping and offered to carry my rtfle, but by this time I had learned the ethics of the march tn the British army and courteously refused . his offer. We had gotten half-way through the communication trench, Pete In my Immediate rear. He had his hand on ray ahoulder, as men In a communication trench have to do to keep In touch with each other, We had just climbed over a bashed-ln part of the trench when in our rear a man tripped over a loose signal wire, and let out an oath. As usual, Pete rushed to his help. T o reach the fallen man he had to cross this basbed-ln p a r t A bullet cracked in the air and I ducked. Then a moan from the rear. My heart stood still. I went back and Pete was lying on the ground. By the aid of my flashlight I saw that he had his hand pressed to his right breast. The fingers were covered with blood. I flashed- t h e light on his face and In its glow a grayishblue color was stealing over his countenance. Pete looked up at me and said: "Well, Yank, they've done me In. I can feel myself going W e s t " * His voice was getting fainter and I, had to kneel down to get his words. Then he gave me a message to write home to. his mother and his sweetheart, and I, like a great big boob, cried like a baby. I was losing my first friend of the trenches. Word was passed to the rear for a stretcher. He died before it arrived:. Two of us put the body on the stretcher and carried it to the nearest first-aid p o s t where t h e doctor took an official record of Pete's name, number, rank and regiment from his identity disk, this to be used in t h e casualty lists and notification t o his family. We left PfJte there, but it broke our hearts to do so. The doctor informed us that we could bury him t h e next morning. That afternoon five of the boys of dor section, myself included, went to the little rained village in the rear and from the deserted gardens of the French chateaux gathered grass and flowers. From these we made a . wreath. While t h e boys were making this wreath, I s a t under a shot-scarred apple tree and carved out t h e following verses on a Httle wooden shield which we nailed on Pete's cross. True to his God; true to Britain, Dot** his duty to the last. Just one more nan* to be written On the Boll of Honor of heroes M. C. sewed up the remains in a blanket. Then placing two heavy ropes across the stretcher (to be used in lowering the body into the grave), we lifted Pete onto the stretcher, and reverently covered him with a large union jack, the flag he had died for. The chaplain led the way, then came the officers of the section, followed by two of the men carrying a wreath. Immediately after came poor Pete on the flag-draped stretcher, carried by four soldiers. I was one of the four. Behind the stretcher, in column of fours, came the remainder of the section." To get to the cemetery, we had to pass through the little shell-destroyed village, where troops were hurrying to and fro. As the funeral procession passed these troops came to the "attention" and smartly saluted the dead. Poor Pete was receiving the only salute a private is entitled to "somewhere In France." Now and again a shell from the German lines would go whistling over the village to burst In our artillery lines tn the rear. When we reached the cemetery we halted ip front of an open grave, and laid the stretcher beside It. Forming Passed to their God. enshrined tn glory. entering life of eternal rest.

German machine-gun bullets were "cracking" In the air above us, but Pete didn't mind, and neither did we. When the body was lowered Into the grave t h e flag having been removed, we clicked our heels together and came to the salute. I left before the grave was filled 1n. I could not bear to see the diit thrown on the blanket-covered face of my comrade. On the western front there are no coffins, and you are lucky to get a blanket to protect you from the wet and the worms. Several of the section stayed and decorated the grave with white stones. That tight. In the light of.a lonely candle in the machine gunner's dugout of t h e front-Une trench I wrote two letters. One to Pete's mother, t h e other to his sweetheart While doing this I cursed t h e Prussian war god with all my heart, and I think, that S t Peter noted same. The machine gunners in the dugout were laughing and Joking. To them Pete was unknown. Pretty soon, In the warmth of their merriment a y bines CHAPTER I X . Suicide Annex. I was In my first dugout unci looked around curiously. Over ihe door of same w a s a little sign reading "Suicide Annex." One of the boys told me that this particular front trench was culled "Suicide Ditch." Later on I learned that machine gunners and bombers are known as the "Suicide Club." That dugout was muddy. The men slept In mud, washed In mud, ate mud, and dreamed wud. I hud never before realized that so much discomfort and. misery could be contained in thos*> three little letters, M U D . The floor of the dugout was an Inch deep in water. Outside It was raining cats and dogs, a n d thin rivulets were trickling down t h e steps. From the uir shaft Immediately above me came a drip, drip, drip. Suicide Annex was a hole eight feet wide, ten feet long and six feet high. It was about twenty feet below t h e fire trench; at least there were twenty steps leading down to it. These steps were cut into the earth, but at that time were muddy and slippery. A man had to be very careful or else he would "shoot the chutes." The a i r was foul, and you could cut the smoke from Tommy's fags with a knife. It was cold. The walls and roof were supported with heavy squarecut timbers, while the entrance was strengthened with sandbags. Nails had been driven into these timbers. On each nail hung a miscellaneous assortment of equipment. The lighting arrangements were superb—one candle In a reflector made from an ammunition tin. My teeth were chattering from t h e cold, and the drip from the airshaft did not help matters much. While I was sitting bemoaning my fate and wishing for the fireside at home, the fellow next to me, who was writing a letter, looked up and innocently asked, "Say, Yank, how do you spell •conflagration'?" I looked at him in contempt and answered that I did not know\ From the darkness in one of the corners came a thin, piping voice singing one of the popular trench ditties entitled : "Pack up your Troubles in your Old Kit Bag, and Smile, Smile, Smile." Every now and then the .singer would stop to cough, cough, cough, but It was a good illustration of Tommy's cheerfulness under such conditions. A machine-gun officer entered the dngout and gave me a hard look. I sneaked past him, sliding and slipping, and reached my section of the frontline trench, where I was greeted by the sergeant, who asked me, "Where in 'ave you been?" I made no answer, but sat on the muddy fire step, shivering with the cold and with the rain beating In ray face. About half an hour later I teamed up with another fellow and went on guard with ray head sticking over the top. At ten o'clock I was relieved and resumed my sitting position on the Are step. The rain suddenly stopped and we all breathed a sigh of relief. We prayed for the morning and the rum issue. "cooties" boring for oil In your armpits, the air foul from the stench of grimy human bodies and smoke from a juicy pipe being whiffed into your uostrlls, then you will not wonder why Tommy occasionally takes a turn in the trench lor a rest. While In a front-line trench orders forbid Tommy from removing Ills boots, puttees, clothing or •'quipment. The "cooties" take advantage of this order and mobilize their forces, and Tommy swears vengeance on them and mutters to himself, "Just wait until 1 hit rest billets and am able to get my own back." Just before daylight the men "turn to" and tumble out of the dugouts, man the Are step until it gets light, or the welcome order "stand down" is givta. Sometimes before "stand down" is ordered, the command "five rounds rap- Id" Is passed along the trench, 'this means that each man must rest his rifle on the- top and fire as ruptdly as possible five shots aimed toward the German trenches, and then duck (with the emphasis on the "duck"). There is a great rivalry between the opposing forces to get their rapid fire all off first, because the early bird, In this instance, catches the worm—sort of gets the jump on the other fellow, catching him unawares.

The sentry Is not allowed to relax his watch for a second. If he is questioned from the trench or asked his orders, he replies without turning around or taking his eyes from the ex* panse of dirt In front of him. The remainder of the occupants of his traverse either sit on the fire step, with bayonets fixed, ready for any emergency, or if lucky, «and a dugout happens to be In the near vicinity of the traverse, and If the night Is quiet, they are permitted to go to same and try and snatch a few winks of sleep. Little sleeping is done; generally the men sit around, smoking fags and seeing who can tell the biggest lie. Some ef them, perhaps with their feet In water, would write home sympathising with the "governor" because he was laid up with a cold, contracted by getting his feet wet on his way to work In Woolwich arsenal. If a man should manage to dose off, likely as not»he would stake with a start as the clammy, cold feet of a rat passed over his face; or the next relief stepped on his stomach while stumbling on their way to relieve the sentries la the trench.

The National Industrial Conservation Movement will continue to exert every possible and legitimate energy at the command of Its writers, public speakers, printed literature, moving picture films, co-operating chambers of commerce, boards of trade, religious, civic, social and patriotic bodies, t« spread the gospel of industrial c o o p e r ation.

These agencies thrive on misrepresentation, exaggeration and agitation of destructive varieties. Must Combat "Isma," They preach hair brained "isms," class hatred and sedition. To defeat them is not only an imperative work for our national safety, but a patriotic duty incumbent upon every thoughtful American, it cannot be done by the occasional denouncing of such national enemies, thus affording them the notoriety by which they thrive, but must be combated in the public interest by f> raivfully worked out cn:apajgn to ]• truth 0:1 the indus nomic jirohlems at "Wage earners na fully j -ijn-eciate tl Amer: .11 indus: ry of our wage pave; at the impartial social and eco- ; • made to more .

I DOING AWAY WMH THE INDUSTRIAL SCRAP HEAP Railroads and Manufacturers Are! Learning to Eliminate Waste, In- | eluding Drainage of Man Power. I Confronted by the necessity of utilizing every possible traffic facility for war material, the railroads are going to the scrap heap for additional equipment. They are patching up discarded locomotives and engines 25 years old have been rebuilt and made "better than when they were new." No doubt the railroad scrap heap is the largest of all American scrap heaps and by that token the one from which most material can be salvaged. But the conditions of railroad waste and extravagance in the name of efficiency equally characterise all American industry, and the new railroad policy of reclamation is tnportant as an example and a precedent. What the garbai* pail is as an Index of hoeaehoW thrift! tmuim tint •crap hemp Is as a msesjmeot to wasteful methods of manafactura.

He may even think his claims are justified. You read the advertisements, so you know that makers, as a rule, are not over modest in that regard. If you believe them all, they all make super-cars. In your experience, that theory doesn't hold. Maxwell is different. We never claim anything we cannot prove. As a matter of fact we never have claimed anything for this Maxwell that has not already been proved in public test and under official observation. Maxwell claims are not therefore claims in the ordinary sense—they are statements of fact—proven facts. They are, in every case., matters of official record attested under oath. For example: The famous 22,000-mile Non-Stop run was made with the Maxwell every minute under observation of the A. A. A. officials. That still remains a world's record the world's record of reliability. That particular test proved about all that anyone could ask or desire of a motor car. Amor-.3 oth^r things it still stands the wood's Ion? distance soeed record.

You know automobiles- -which was the greater test? Is there any comparison on grounds either of speed or endurance? Proves you don't need to pay more than $825 to obtain all the qualities you can desire in a motor car—if you select a Maxwell. For that Maxwell Non-Stop run was made, : country roads and through city traffic—a vera £. And—listen to this. *\ a track but over rough U kinds of going. So certain were we of the condition of the Maxwell at the end of that great feat, we announced that at the stroke of eleven on a certain morning, the car would stop in front of the City Hall, Los Angeles, for the Mayor to break the seal. Five seconds after he had pulled the switch plug and stopped the motor after the 44 days and nights continuous running, she was started again and off on a thousand mile jaunt to visit various Maxwell dealers. How is that for precision—certainty of action? That incident brought a storm of applause from the assembled thousands. Hill climbing?—this Maxwell holds practically every record worth mentioning— especially in the West where the real hills are. The Mount Wilson record—nine and one-half miles, 6,000 feet elevation!—was taken by a stock Maxwell. Two months ago a 12-cylinder car beat that record by two minutes. Then—three days later—a stock Maxwell went out and beat that 12-cylinder record by thirty seconds! Pretty close going for such a distance and such a climb—wasn't it? So Maxwell still holds the Mount Wilson honors. Ready to defend it against all comers too, at any time—a stock Maxwell against any stock or special chassis. Economy—also a matter of official record. Others may claim—Maxwell proves. Thousands of Maxwell owners throughout the United States on the same day averaged 29.4 miles per gallon of gasoline. Not dealers or factory experts, mind you, but owners—thousands of them— driving their own Maxwells.

The greatest achievement of this Maxwell was in its showing of speed and reliability and economy all in the same run. In that 44 days-and-nights Non-Stop run, though no thought was given to either speed or economy, it still remains a fact of official record that the Maxwell averaged 22 miles per gallon and 25 miles per hour. Now you know that speed costs—and that economy tests are usually made at slow-speed—dosed-throttle, thin-mixture conditions. You know too that you can obtain economy of fuel by building and adjusting for that one condition. Speed you can get by building for speed. Any engineer can do that.

It Is being realized now that the United States has been taking giant strides and that In war, as in everything else she undertakes, she does business on a giant scale. (Prepared by tho United States Department of Agriculture.) Washington.--The supply of permanent farm labor—note the word permanent-- will not be assured in many sections of the country, nnd on some farms, at least, in every section of the country, unless more attractive living conditions are offered the families of hired hands on farms. War conditions cause a farm labor problem that can be solved only by emergency methods. Throughout the nation communities will solve their war problems of farm labor shortage by utilizing as temporary farm help town volunteers and high school boys— by diverting to agricultural activity man power that would not and could not be so used except in a real emergency. But the town men of farm experience who go to the fields this spring and summer and fall will be actuated London.—The stupendousness of the American war program has staggered the i>eop!e of Great Britain. Realization of the fact that Uncle Sam is in the war to fight it to a finish and that he has the men and money has given new energy and optimism to the people of England. While there was never any doubt in their mind that the allies could prevent a German victory, they are pulling together now with new vigor and determination, fully believing that with the powerful help of America they and their French, Belgian and Italian allies can give Germany a crushing blow either this year or next. German treatment of Russia has silenced the would-be pacifists. The element which has hoped for a termination of the war with a compromise pence has been transformed Into a' most mlttrant toxiy now that the naked hand of the German annexationists has been exposed. The cry everywhere in Great Britain Is for a continuation of the war until the acceptance of the allied terms has been assured. Whether the country is war weary or not Is a small matter now that German duplicity has again been revealed by the action in Russia. Has Stiffened All 'Allies. That the United States has stiffened up all the allies is most obvious. The newest of the anti-German nations has amazed the European world with Its industry in war preparation. There Is no longer talk that the United | States will be unable to do any actual righting this year. Uncle Sam's sol- ' diers have been in the fighting for sev- j eral weeks, and correspondents straight from the front give the most [ glowinp accounts of their proficiency ' as fighters. They learned quickly. They have been eager from the start to test their mettle with the Huns, and in every clash where the forces have been anything like equal the Yankees have \ completely routed the Germans. On several occasions young Americans from states west of the Mississippi river have been thrown up against the Prussian shock troops. The Prussians were sent after the "Yanks," as they j are called, to teach them fear of the German soldiery. The Yankees showed no more respect for the Prussians than they showed for the Mexicans on the border, and. it may be said, drove them to cover almost as readily.

There is no knowledge here as to how many Americans are in the battle line, but from the fact that reports of frequent skirmishes with them come from headquarters It Is estimated that there Is a considerable fighting force. The Germans have encountered them where they erpeeted to find them and where they did not expect to find them. The entrance of the United States marked the turning point in the war. German prisoners captured recently, according to reports here, give hints that the Germans realize that they hare reached their maximum and are now facing a steadily growing army appealed to Draft Inspector Murtin ('•onboy of New York to aid him to realize his ambition.

The attitude of thousands of married men who are skilled farm workers, who have left the country to find town employment, but who will return to farm work permanently provided farm living conditions are comparable in ordinary comforts to those in town. Is expressed in this letter recently published in a Texas paper: "I am sending in my view of the farm labor problem. I have been trying to get a job on the farm the last month ; still trying to do so. I can find plenty of jobs for a single man . . . but the farmers so far as I have found have no tenant houses, or If they have one It would not make a good stable. Most of the farmers that I have found will not permit a farm hand to raise a garden or chickens or hogs or own a cow or horse, and the prevalent pay is insufficient to support a family under such conditions. I believe If the farmers would build comfortable houses and either pay better wages or give more privileges, it would be the city man calling for help Instead of the farmers." There are mnny evidences of an increasing desire on the part of men with families, now living In towns and cities but with experience as skilled farm workers, to go back to the country. They left the farm because they believed they could make more money, get more satisfaction out of life, give more pleasures and opportunities to their families in town. Many have been disappointed. They are willing to return to the farm at a smaller cash wage than they receive in town. If they have a fairly good house and are allowed to have a garden and raise a few pigs and perhaps have the use of a cow. Labor Problem Remains. What about it? You are a farmer snd you are looking for permanent farm help; not only emergency help to produce and harvest war crops, but a man or men to live on your farm and work the year round. Are your tenant houses the kind of places a man would like for his family to call home? Are they the kind you would like to live in? "Oh:" you say, "The other man Is looking for a job and I am not. I own the farm; be wants to work on the farm. Do you expect the hired hand to have as good a house as the owner? If he doesn't like this house be can leave It:** Well, the trouble Is that Is just what he will do—and you will continue to have a farm labor problem on your hands. Of course no one expects the hired hand to have as good a house as the farmer : But he does want a comfortable place for his family to live in, and failure to find that on the farms is one of the reasons for the steadily decreasing supply of permanent farm help in recent years. It may not please the farmer to fare the fact; nevertheless the truth is that the skilled farm hand Is in a position to be quite as Independent about the proposition as the farmer himself. When the farmer say5 "Take this house or leave i t " the really first-class man knows he can get a good job elsewhere— and he leaves ! So It may be profitable for some farmers—-not all, of course—to think that over, bearing In mind that letter of the Texas man to the effect that If the farmers will offer their permanent help good houses, fair wages and Atlanta.

BOMBS DO GOOD WORK Undersea Craft Unable to Dive Before Missiles Are Dropped—One Destroyed in Act of Attack on Merchantman. London.—Details concerning the destruction recently of ten German submarines by naval aircraft, eight by seaplanes and the others by dirigibles, have been obtained by the Associated Press from admiralty reports. The first case is described as follows: "While on patrol In the English channel a seaplane sighted a submarine eight miles away, directly in the path of an oncoming convoy of merchant ships. The seaplane dived at 90 miles an hour. The submarine attempted to escape by submerging, but was, Just awash as the seaplane reached a bombing position and released two bombs, one of which exploded on the conning tower. The seaplane dropped two more bombs Into the midst of the bubbles from the collapsed submarine, which was of the largest type, carrying two guns." The second case : "At dawn a seaplane sighted a large submarine on the surface, with a member of the crew standing by the gun. The seaplane dropped a bomb on the tail of the U-boat and afterward photographed the sinking submarine, with a big hole In Its deck. A second bomb was dropped close to the submarine's bow, and the U-boat collapsed." Catches U-Boat on Surface. The third case : "Two seaplanes attacked a large submarine traveling on the surface at 14 knots, with two men In the conning tower. A bomb was exploded close to the conning tower, and the submarine began to sink stern first. A bomb from a second seaplane completed the work." The fourth case: "Three patrol planes sighted a large submarine as it was submerging, and dropped two bombs close to the conning tower, causing the submarine to turn turtle nnd disappear In a mass of oil and wreckage." The fifth case: "A seaplane sighted two submarines close to the surface and dropped two bombs. One bomb was ineffective, but the other hit the deck fairly amidships. The submarine was hidden by the smoke of the explosion, and when the smoke cleared the U-boat was sinking, with both ends In the air." The sixth case: "A seaplane saw the track of a torpedo fired at a merchantman. It dived toward the surface and sighted the black shade of the submarine well below the surface. It dropped two bombs, which both ex- WOMEN GOOD POLICE Are ?.'•*: Efficient Service In Great Britain. ploded close to the submarine, resulting in a large quantity of oil, bubbles and wreckage." The seventh case: "Two seaplanes sighted a U-boat on the surface and dropped a bomb each. The first bomb caused a heavy list to the U-boat, which began to sink by the stern. The second bomb exploded in the center of the swirl, demolishing the Ubuat." Oil Patch Shows Fate. The eighth case: "A seaplane dropped a bomb on a submarine just emerging and the U-boat disappeared with a heavy list to port. The pilot dropped a second bomb Into the swirl and a few minutes later a patch of oil 150 feet long and 12 feet wide appeared on the surface." The ninth case: "A naval airship at midday sighted a suspicious patch of oil and circled It in an effort to ascertain the cause. Suddenly a periscope broke the surface in the midst of the oil. The airship dropped a bomb close to the periscope and a series of bubbles began appearing, indicating that the damaged submarine was moving slowly away under the water. Several more bombs were dropp** *a 4fcsw-perh Indicated, unfit satisfactory evidence was obtained of the enemy's destruction."

Food Sent Regularly Through International Red C r o u in Switzerland. Washington.—Kood is now being sent reguluriy to American prisoners In Germany by the American lied Cross through un arrangement with, the International Ked Cross in Switzerland. The American Red Cross otflce at Paris recently received a complete list of the 159 Americans then prisoners in Germany. The German government permits the Red Cross to send each man 20 pounds of food a week, In two paekuges of ten pounds each. This Red Cross service is being enlarged and a warehouse to hold food enough for 10,000 American prisoners already Is under construction near Berne, Switzerland. It Is estimated that at least 90 per cent of the food packages reach the men. Parents, wives and relatives of our soldiers and sailors will find in this particular Red Cross service the greatest satisfaction because they havedreaded German prison life for tbeir loved ones perhaps more than death itself. The American prisoners will be permitted to write two letters and four post cards each month, and also to acknowledge the receipt of food packages. The Red Cross food package follows the army ration pretty closely, and frequently fresh white bread is Included from the Red Cross bakery In Berne. This service is one more reason why the American people will respond generously to the next Red Cross war fund campaign. May 20-27, when another $100,000,000 to "carry on" wilk be asked.

London—The success of women on the police force is amply demonstrated In the annual report of Sir Leonard Dunning. H. M. inspector of constabulary, Just published. Seven counties and 24 cities and boroughs have women "on the strength," and "their introduction Into professional police work," says Sir Leonard, "may well help authorities to combat evils which have presented increasing difficulties to them for years past." While most of the women are engaged in clerical work, others a/e given duties requiring the complete confidence of a woman or child, which Waterproof pockets with water-tight fastenings for bathing attire have been Invented by two New York men. a woman can win better than a man; the maintenance of public decorum among girls, supervision over female servants' registries, duties under the shop hours acta, food control orders and the like, and supervision over places of amusement catering for children. It is not. Sir Leonard hopes, mggested that women should be employed In the suppression of 'public order and the arrest of dangerous or violent criminals. With regard to the desirability of intrusting to them that part of the investigation of sexual crime which involves Intimate conversation with the victim, the Inspector declares that the police themselves were the first to recognize this, but until some years ago failed to find a woman of education who recognised this as a woman's work. Sir Leonard pays tribute to the fine work being done by the women police employed by the ministry- of munitions, and refers also to the success of the efforts of the women patrols. He denies that the Increase of offenses by Juveniles end the decrease of personal chastltj of girls are the Youth Who Looks Older Than He If Spends 202 Days Behind Bars.

F. hall in Lennon, on the line between Genesee and Shiawassee counties. Four counties were represented at the meeting, wnich was under ths auspices of the Michigan State Good Roads association. Peter B. Lennon acted as chairman of the meeting, and among the speakers were William S. Linton and Field Secretary W. H. Bryant of the association, Rolla W. Roberts of the state highway department, State Senator Harvey A. Penney, vice-president of the East Michigan Pikes association, and C. C. Speer of Maple Grove township. The project of improving the roads through these counties were strongly favored and a com; ittee was appointed to complete the sif latures for the con* struction of the L ghway under the -Covert road law, sot th to the Argentine read, so-called, near the Livingston county line. The committee consists of Peter P. Lennon, A. J. Anthony, .-George Evans, Walter Morrison, William Lohring, Cameron C. Speer, and Willis Baker. The Saginaw-Toledo highway would mean the continuation south of the "Top of Michigan" highway now worked out in its entirety, for 200 miles from Saginaw to Mackinaw and would -fee of great commercial and recreation value to this city. Many fine villages and cities are on or contiguous to the line. Among these are Fosters, Burt, Montrose, New Lothrop, Flushing, Lennon, Durand, Gaines, Byron, Cohoctaa, *Oak Grove, Howell, Brighton, Chilson, Pinckney, Hamburg, Whitmore Lake, Dexter, Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Saline, if ilan, Azalia, Dundee, Ida, Petersburg, Temperance, and Toledo. The latter £ity is the gateway into Michigan from the states lying south and east that send each season thousands into the resort regions of the lower peninsula. This pike will save automobilists 35 miles over the present routes via Detroit, which means that 75 per cent of them would use it in getting to their destinations in the north country. It would mean a great annual influx of travelers and tourists. Saginaw is ideally located on this tnain thoroughfare, extending for 333 miles from Lake Eire's southern corner JLo the Straits of Mackinaw.

Saginaw Courier-Herald. Otto Rohn, Deputy Game Warden of the State of Michigan, has again paid the penalty'for^viola»ing the Jaws of the State which, he has sworn to obey".

'T ~~M This is the man, it will be remembered, who was convicted of an offense in Washtenaw County last winter and was fined for a violation of the state law in that county. The offense which sent the sheriff after htm this time was cutting a beetree on the property of the Lewis Brothers near Portage Lake and there was hardly a change of escaping punishment, as several witnesses saw the act It isregretted by the'grest majority of ouTotizens andfltaxpayers that | a husky>an likeJOtto Rohn [who: isXapparently perfectly able to go into the fields and work, is not invited to do so by the state authorities, who do not hesitate to ask the women and childyen to week at manual labor to help raise crops for the sustenance of the boys in our armies, and of which Otto Rohn consumes a man's share. The owners of the property which he so wantonly destroyed are industrious farmers and the shortage of crops in this vicinity the past few years places them in a position where they cannot afford to lose any of their trees when fuel and lumber is so scarce and expensive. Why should a young farmer, whose labor helps toward the support of his widowed mother, be compelled to psy more for taking a fish or two from the waters which he w t taxes on than the pampered Otto has to pay when he is convicted of the destruction of property of far greater value than a pound or more of fish? It is also regretted by these same taxpayers and citizens that the Governor does not take some action toward removing this notorious state official from the office of Deputy State game warden and fill the vacancy with a lawabiding citizen to whose name is not attached the stigma of unenviable notoriety which the present incumbent has allowed to become a fixture to the name of Otto Rohn.

Lansing—An appeal to the food administration and the governor for help on the milk problem was made by a delegation of dairymen and farmers from Portland, Ionia county. Fifteen thousand pounds of milk daily is being wasted in that vicinity, according to the protestants, because the government has reduced its purchase of condensed milk. Lansing—The following Michigan people have secured federal appointments In Washington: Helen C. Smith, Port Huron, lama Hawley, Lansing, appointed clerks in the war Insurance office. Florence M.

Saginaw—The name of the Germania school ha8 been changed to "Lincoln". The motion was supported by School Inspector O. F. Opperman, former president of the Germania society which established the school 40 years ago and later turned it over to the city. The budget for the year provides for an increase of 10 per cent in the salaries of the teachers. Camp Custer—Law and order is evidently more prevalent in the 85th division than in any other army organisation. A report shows that the division has had fewer general courtmartials than any cantonment, army post or point where troops are being assembled in the United States. This is in spite of the fact that during March and April more general courts were held than in all the previous months the division has been organised. Flint—About 1,000 men of draft age, who were not carrying classification cards when approached by officers, were brought before the m'litary board at a slacker round-up here. A large number of them were released later when their draft cards were produced. Youths were taken from their beds, from theatres and churches as well as from factories upon their failure to produce classification cards. A company of' state troops came, here from Detroit to assist in the round-up.

Port Huron—County Food Administrator Summers has ordered Frank Lown, a farmer living near Memphis, to sell several hundred bushels of wheat which it is alleged Lown has been hoarding. East Lansing—Prof. L. R. Taft, state inspector of orchards, has ordered the killing throughout Michigan of all I high barberry bushes. This shrub is I annually instrumental in causing con- 1 siderable damage to the grain crop. Camp Custer—K. of C. secretaries have been informed that their organization in Camp Custer is to train workers for overseas service. Two men already have been selected to go to France immediately, and six more are to be sent here to train. Port Huron—A flat and apartment house corporation has been formed here with a capitalization of $20,000 to provide housing accommodations for several hundred persons who will come to this city to be employed in new industries now being completed. Camp Custer—The fourth officers training school will be started at Camp Custer, May 15. Two per cent of the candidates will be selected from the 85th division. The remainder will be taken from the Central division and credited colleges, as named for the first camp. Detroit—Among the nonogenarians who are knitting for the American j forces none probably occupies a high- I er place in the esteem of the women j whose duty it is to pass on the pro- | ficiency of the workers than Mrs. Geo. C. Mahon, who is 91 years old in body and but 21 in heart. Ann Arbor—Prof, Herbert Sadler, head of the main engineering department of the University of Michigan, has been appointed assistant manager of steel ship construction for the Emergency Fleet corporation. The government ordered him to report at Washington May 1 and to remain there for the duration of the war. Albion—In a speech here, Horatio Earle, of Detroit, said that the highways of Michigan offered the only relief for Michigan railroads. The short hauls must be taken of the railroads and placed on the highways. If this is not done the people will face freezing every winter as the roads are unable to handle the traffic. Flint—A citlsens* committee is Investigating the local coal situation as a result of the refusal of local dealers to fill orders at government prices. The dealers claim they cannot do busines sat the prices s e t .Meantime consumers are Urged to bay at once and are forbidden to form pools to buy direct fro mthe mines or outside dealers. .__ Camp Custer—Books are beginning to pour into the Custer library as the result of the recent drive. At present the library has 6,000 volumes catalogued and on the shelf, whereas its quota calls for 10,000. As soon as the limit is reached additional reading matter will either be diverted to points of embarkation or given the men from the 85th division Just before they leave for overseas. Lansing—The amount of the cost price of a loaf of bread, between the wheat producer and the bread consumer, is strikingly shown in a recent compilation by the food administration, covering the period from 1913 to the present time. In 1913 but 26 per cent of the cost went to the farmer, as compared with 45 per cent at present. In 1912, 68 per cent of the price of bread was added after the flour left the mill door, as compared with 49 per cent now. Detroit—Jean Kerr, detective for a downtown store, arrested Mrs. Lena Sansone on a larceny charge and then secured the woman's release, pending arraignment in police court.

Robert Webster Meaham, Blissfield, Mich., is among the missing. WOMEN ALIENS MUST REGISTER Female Subjects of Germany and Austria to Be Listed. Washington — German and Austrian women in the United States were placed under the same restrictions as have prevailed for enemy aliens, by proclamation Issued April 20, by President Wilson, under the recently enacted law Including women in the definition of enemy aliens. These restrictions are applicable only to women above 14 who have not been naturalized by their own or their male relatives' declarations of citizenship. The operation of the regulations prohibiting enemy aliens from entering prohibited areas without permit will not apply to German women until a date to be fixed by the attorney general Crowder, are exclusive of between ment made by the attorney general's office, is so that arrangements may be made by women to apply for permits and a careful investigation may be made before issuance of permits.

Detroit—Michigan, together with several other states, has been asked by Secretary of the Treasury William Q. McAdoo to oversubscribe its Liberty Loan quota 50 per cent. A 50 per cent over-subscription for the entire state will mean that the original quota of 184,500,000 will become $126,750,000. It will mean that Detroit's original quota of $36,846,908 becomes $55,270,362, an increase of half the original quota, or $18,423,454.

And naturally follows the great discovery recently made by The American Tobacco Co.—that tobacco tastes better TOASTED! This wonderful new idea—simple like all great inventions—was first used in producing the famous LUCKY STRIKE Cigarette—made of toasted Barley tobacco.

With a look of disdain he exclaimed : "Blow me, your shirt I Why in didn't you use mud?" Without a word in reply I got busy with the mud, and Boon my dixie was bright and shining.

I rinsed out my dlxte and returned it to the cookhouse, and went back to'the billet with an exhilarated feeling that my day's labor was done. I had fallen asleep on the straw when once again the cook appeared in the door of the billet with: "Bllme me, you Yanks are lazy. Who in a-goin' to draw the water for the mornin' tea? Do you think I'm a-goln' to? Well, Tm not," and he left I filled the dixie with water from an old squeaking well, and once again lay down in the straw. CHAPTER VII. Rations. Just dosing off; Mr. Lance Corporal butted in. In Tommy's eyes a lance corpora 1 Is one degree below a private. In the corporal's eyes he is one degree above a general. He ordered me to go with him and help him draw the next day's rations, also told me to take my waterproof. Every evening, from each platoon or machine-gun section, a lance corporal and private go to the quartermaster sergeant at the company stores and titled to rations, so there is no chance of putting anything over on him. Many arguments ta£e place between the "quarter" aad the platoon noncom, but the former ajsrtlys wins out. Tommy says the "quarter" got his Job because he was a burglar in civil life. Then I spread the waterproof sheet on the ground, while the quartermaster's batman dumped the rations on ft The corporal was smoking a fag. I carried the rations back to the billet The corporal was still smoking a fag. How I envied him. But when the issue commenced my envy died, and I realized that the first requisite of a noncommissioned officer on active service is diplomacy. There were 19 men in our section, and they soon formed a semicircle around us after the corporal had called out, "Rations up." The quartermaster sergeant had given a slip to the corporal on which was written a list of the rations. Sitting on the floor, using a wooden box as a table, the issue commenced. On the left of the corporal the rations were piled. They consisted of the following : Six loaves of fresh bread, each loaf of a different size, perhaps one out of the six being as flat as a pancake, the result of an army service corps man placing a box of bully beef on it during transportation. Three tins of jam, one apple and the other two plum. Seventeen Bermuda onions, all different sises, A piece of cheese in the shape of a wedge. Two one-pound tins of butter. A handful of raisins. A tin of biscuits, or as Tommy calls them "jaw treakers," A bottle of mustard pickles. The "bully beef," spuds, condensed milk, fresh meat* bacon and "Maconochie rations" (a can filled with meat vegetables and greasy water), had been turned over to the company cook to make a stew for next day's dinner. He also received the tea, sugar, salt, pepper and flour. Scratching his head, the corporal studied the slip Issued to him by the quarter. Then In a slow, mystified voice he read out "No. 1 section, 19 men. Bread, loaves, six." He looked puzzled and soliloquized in a musing voice: "Six loaves, nineteen men. Let's see, that's three ID a loaf for fifteen m e n - well, to draw rations for the following day. make it even, four of you'll .

Nineteen w n , three tins. Six in a tin makes twelve men for two tins, seven In the remaining tin." He passed around the jam, and there was another riot Some didn't like apple, while others who received plum were partial to apple. After a while differences were adjusted and the issue went on. "Bermuda onions, seventeen." The corporal avoided a row by saying that he did not want an onion, and I said they make your breath smell, so I guessed I would do without one too. The corporal looked his gratitude. "Cheese, pounds, two." The corporal borrowed a jackknife (corporals are always borrowing), and sliced the cheese—each slicing fringing forth a pert remark from £t*e onlookers as to the corporal's eyesight. "Raisins, ounces, eight." By this time the corporal's nerves had gone west, and in despair he said that the raisins were to be turned over to the cook for "duff" (plum pudding). This decision elicited a little "grousing," but quiet was finally restored. "Biscuits, tins, one." With his borrowed jackknife, the corporal opened the tin of biscuits, and told everyone to help themselves—nobody responded to this invitation. Tommy is 4tfed up" with biscuits, "Butter, tins, two." "Nine in one, ten in the other." Another rumpus. "Pickles, mustard, bottles, one." Nineteen names were put hi a steel helmet, the last one out winning the pickles. On the next issue there were only 18 names, as the winner Is eliminated until every man in the section has won a bottle. The raffle is closely watched, because Tommy is suspicious when it comes to gambling with his rations. When the issue is finished the corporal sits down and writes a letter home, asking them if they cannot get some M. P. (member of parliament) to have him transferred to the Royal Flying corps where he won't have to issue rations. At the different French estamlnets in the village and at the canteens Tommy buys fresh eggs, milk, bread and pastry. Occasionally when he Is flush, he invests in a tin of pears or apricots. His pay is only a shilling a day, 24 cents, or a cent an hour. Just imagine, a cent an hour for being under fire—not much chance" of getting rich out there. When he goes Into the fire trench (front line), Tommy's menu takes a tumble. He carries in his haversack what the government calls emergency or iron rations. They are not supposed to be opened until Tommy dies of starvation. They consist of one tin of bully beef, four biscuits, a little tin which contains tea, sugar and Oxo cubes (concentrated beef tablets). These are only to be used when the ^nemy establishes a curtain of shell fire on the communication trenches, thus preventing the "carrying in" of rations, or when in an attack a body of troops has been cut off from its base of supplies. The rations are brought up at night by the company transport This is a section of the company in charge of the quartermaster sergeant composed of men, mules and limbers (twowheeled wagons), which supplies Tommy's wants while In the front line. They are constantly under shell fire. The rations are unloaded at the entrance to the communication trenches and are "carried in" by men detailed for that purpose. The quartermaster sergeant never goes into the front-line trench. He doesn't have to, and I have never heard of one volunteering to do so. The company sergeant major sorts the rations and sends them in. Tommy's trench rations consist of all the bully beef he can e a t biscuits, cheese, tinned batter (eomettmea 17 men to a tin), jam or marmalade, and occasionally freak bread (tea to a leaf). When it la peaatble he gets tea 1 and stew. When things are oolet, and Frf ta la behaving like a gentlemen, which eel- ( dom happens, Tommy has the opportunity of making dessert. This Is "trench pudding.'' It 1» made from broken biscuits, condensed milk, Jam— a Httle water added, slightly flavored with mud—put Into a cttuteeu and cooked over a little spirit stove known as "Tommy's cooker." (A firm in Blignty widely advertises these cookers us a necewsity for the men In the trenches.

In addition to the regular ration issue Tommy uses another channel to enlarge his mepu. In the. English papers a "Lonely Soldier" column is- run. ThU is for the soldiers at the front who, are supposed to be without friends or relatives. They write to the papers and their names are published. Girts and women in England answer them, and send out parcels of foodstuffs, cigarettes, candy, etc, I have known a "lonely" soldier to receive as many as five parcels and eleven letters in one week.

NOT THEIR FIRST MEETING British Officer and Privates, Homo From the Front, Had Same Memories of "Tight Corner." Two privates in "Blighty" blue were limping their way along Regent street, London. Each had his badges of honi> r—two and three eloquent gold stripes. They were la London town again—in It, but somehow not of it. Only the accident of war made them Regent street saunterers. From the opposite direction- there approached a young officer with a lady companion. He, too, hud the gold stripes of the twice wounded. Eager and bright, he seemed absorbed in his companion, apparently not noticing the two privates. Indeed, he wua almost by them when In a flash he darted from the side of his companion, seized the hand of one of the privates in a hearty grip and ejaculated : "Great heavens! fancy meeting you here ! Bit different when we were together before, eh? What a tight corner ! And only we two left—and here we are again. And how are you, and how are you getting on?" Succeeded a string of other questions, culminating in "Getting better, eh? Feel as if you'll soon be ready to go out again? How do you feel about it? Will you be glad to go?" What the private said may be Inferred from the resumption of the officer's talk. "That's the right spirit Shouldn't wonder if we meet again in another hot corner. Well, good luck antf cheero!" A Change for the Invalid. If you have a friend lyiug ill, try taking some daintily prepared edibles next time you make a visit. Nourishing broths and soups, wine Jellies, delicately browned custards and light puddings made of eggs and milk are good. Or a small jar of marmalade or half a dozen lightly browned biscuit for the Invalid's tea. Or creamed chicken and creamed oysters delivered in a charming blue bowl and all ready to be heated up by the nurse. Grapefruit Is always appreciated and mandarin oranges and white grapes in a pretty basket are an appetizing combination, and there are some invalids who would be delighted with a jar of preserved ginger for occasional nibbling.

Glucose in fruit preserves may be discovered by the following method given by the Popular Science Monthly: In the case of Jelly a teaspoonful should be dissolved In two tablespoonfuls of alcohol contained In a glass vessel. In the case of jam or marmalade the same process 1« carried out, but it Is necessary to filter off the solid matter by running the mixture through a piece of rousllp. Allow the solution to become perfectly cool nnd then add an equal volume, or a little more, of strong alcohol. If glucose Is present a dense white precipitate slowly settles down. Where no glucose has been employed, there Is no precipitate, save.

Two years of prohibition in Denver have kept the city so decent that there is nothing for its grand jury to investigate, nothing for Judge John I. Mullins in the criminal court to try, and nothing for the criminal lawyers of the city to argue about says a recent item in the Denver Post. The Post continues: "This is the literal statement of facts Last week the county grand jury was called to the West Side court, presumably for business. But the business was not there. " 'What shall we take up first?' the foreman asked. " 'Search me,'" answered the district attorney. They agreed there was nothing to investigate, so the grand jury took a recess subject to the call of the foreman. The last three or four grand juries have returned no indictment. For, with the passing of Bacchus from Denver his twin sisters. Crime and Vice, went with him, say the judges of Denver's courts.

Highest price paid at An old friend and neighbor, whose opionions we highly valued bag criticised the Dispatch for "mixing in polities when it published an article regarding Truman H. Newberry of Michigan, commander of the Third Naral District, and whose name is being placed among the candidate* for United States senator from this state. The eriticiiro is unqiifstionabJy sincere antf comes from anrunsetfish desire for the best interests of this paper. If Mr. Newberry was of the ordinary type of politicians his name would not have appeared as a candidate in oar paper. But his public life has shown aim to be one of the class of men who we would like to see filling the various offices in our eoantry. Theodore Roosevelt, who was visiting the U. S. Government vessel Yosemite, noticed young Newberry, then a member of the crew, industrially swabbing the decks of the steamer, and entered in a conversation with him. This was the beginning of a friendship that lasts until to-day. To show bis appreciation of the high qualities enclosed within the tanned shin of a common sailor, President Roosevelt afterwards appointed Mr. Newberry to the position of Secretary of the Navy in his cabinet. The aggressive efficiency which won him this high position brought him national honor and has shown him to be of the class of men the country needs during this time of war, when inexperience and inefficiency are the greatest drawbacks the nation now has to contend with, and the policy of this paper will be to use what small influence it may attain in advocating all such candidates, no matter of what party or creed. After considering these ideas, our friendly critic admits the policy is good and endorsed it. W H Y S P R A Y ?

THE American people fought their first battles for liberty and the rights of selfgovernment one hundred and forty-two years ago. •J A t thai time, and for many years thereafter, their realization of their national aspirations and of the goal toward which they were really striving was vague and indistinct But step by step they struggled onward and upward toward a light which grew dearer as their eyes and minds slowly opened to its significance. Today, as a result of their struggles and their sacrifices, w e possess and enjoy our priceless American institutions. Q These institutions must b e preserved. T h e structure so laboriously reared in these one hundred and forty-two years will be utterly destroyed if w e d o not spring to its defense with every atom of our energy and determination.

Upon the Coast Artillery corps has been thrust the burden of handling the heavy ordnance with which the army la equipped, and which in the field will be manipulated by methods more or less resembling the methods already laid down for sea coast ordnance. These methods are far different from those used by the field artillery proper—that Is, the light three-inch rifles and 4.7-inch howitzers. The present-day heavy artillery officer must be a mathematical shark, a railroad engineer and an expert in handling gasoline motors besides having an Intimate knowledge of gunnery, says a writer in the New York Herald. His equipment has changed from the battery commander's ruler of the field artilleryman to a slide rule, a transit and a book of logarithms. In addition he must understand perfectly the manipulation of heavy masses—termed the art of mechanical maneuvers—for his guns will not be securely emplaced In concrete, but will be exposed to the mercies of the open road, with consequent overturnlugs 'find sudden sniffings. He must know how to use tackle of all sorts, and in general know all the tricks of the modern contractor. The officers who came down to Fort Monroe were nearly all graduates of the National Guard courses prescribed by the war department and were fully competent to handle seacoast ordnance In the forts to which they were assigned. They thought that their knowledge was ample, and It would have been for this work, perhaps, but after a day or so they found out that while this knowledge was essential to them as basic, It was only the beginning. Gunnery the Big Thing. The big thing, of course, was gunnery. This included a practical knowledge of ballistics—the science of the movement of bodies through the nlr. Ballistics Is a very exact science, and In these days of precision Is absolutely essential for the artilleryman. Reduced to language for the layman, it consists in the knowledge of just how far a given piece of ordnance will hurl Its projectile under «11 conditions. Very simple, say you. Yes, under standard conditions. Every gun when It is turned out from the maker is known to fire a certain projectile to n certain range at a certain elevation. These data are compiled in tables and a r e theoretically the same for all guns of the same caliber and model. These tables are known as range tables, and the "conditions given for the firing of projectiles for these theoretical ranges are known as range table conditions. Remember this. Now some of the principal range table conditions or assumptions are that the earth is flat and does not revolve; that the atmospheric conditions are standard ; thnt there Is no wind; that the gun and target are on the same level, and that the action of, gravity is constant throughout the trajectory. All well and good. We know that our go*, then, will fire its projectile, let us *ay 10,000 yard*, under range table conditions. In other words, given the above conditions, it will, if prooperly laid In direction hit a target 10400 yards away. Set unfortunately for os the earth Is not.flat our target 1» 10,000 yards away, and 200 feet * . • . above the level of the gun there Is a ten-mile wind blowing straight across the line gun target, the thermometer Is up to So and the barometer has dropped to 29. Will the projectile hit the target now? Not unless you correct the elevation of the gun for some of these conditions and Its laying for the others. How are you going to do it? First, you must find the force with which your projectile cleaves the air. This Is called the ballistic coefficient, and Is reduced by a simple formula to a figure. Knowing the weight of the projectile, its form and its diameter the ballistic co-efficient is easily calculated. The Air as a Check. You have now taken the first step. You have the force of projectile to penetrate the atmosphere under standard conditions. But this force varies with the atmosphere. On a .heavy, muggy day the atmosphere is dense, and you will be surprised the checking effect It will have on your projectile. By menus of elaborate tables one can find just what this effect is, and we apply it to the original formula. Also in the atmospheric factor Is Included the temperature, for in hot weather our powder charge when ignited exerts more strength in decomposing into gases than it does on a cold day. . So far BO good. What about this troublesome wind that is blowing? If It blows against the projectile it checks It; if with It, it helps It along. So we have two varying factors, which the balllstlclan juggles by utilizing trigonometry until he gets them in terms where he can once more change his ballistic co-efficient, making It larger or smaller as the wind Impedes or accelerates the projectile. Not quite so easy as you thought, is It? But we are not through yet. We know that under range table conditions our propelling charge has a force that gives the projectile an initial velocity of so many foot seconds, say 2,250. But our powder has been stored in a dugout whose temperature is not normal, so by more figuring we find out just what this real velocity for the day is. Now we can begin to figure what elevation the gun must have to travel that 10,000- yard path to the target. By dividing our old friend C, as the ballistic co-efficient is termed, by the distance in feet that the projectile must travel, we get'a reference number. This number we take with us and bury our noses In more tables until we find opposite this number in a column headed by the muzzle velocity another number. This number, multiplied by C again, gives us the sine -of twice the angle of departure. A quick glance into a table of logarithmic sines gives this to us, and dividing by two we have a figure in degrees and minutes that represents the angle which the gun must be elevated from the horizontal to send its projectile 10,000 yards today. Wait a minute. Our target is 200 feet above the level of the gun. Also because of the curvature of the earth this 200 feet height has been reduced somewhat. So once more we delve into mathematics to correct the curvature ef the earth and height of site of the target. The result we subtract from the angle found, and this time our gun is ready for ] business. Is It? No; It is not so easy. The Influence of the Rifling. Every rifled piece of ordnance imparts a twist to ljts projectile, and this twist causes the projectile to deviate from its course. In our service this deviation, called drift, is to the right and is In ratio with the range. It is constant, therefore, for each range, and we find It very eaaHy, either by mathematie computation or from drift tables. Also we go back to our wind problem and find what effect the wted will have in pushing the projectile from its course, either to the eight or left These two corrections are brought together and determine the amount in degrees and minutes that the muzzle of the gun must be shifted from the target to the right or left in order that the projectile will curve toward its goal. At last we have our gun controlled so that It will hit the target. Tarry just a moment. A gun„ the text books tell us, Is the simplest form of gas engine. Did you ever know two gas engines of the same model that acted alike? Neither will two guns of the same model. The Fifty Per Cent Zone. If you have an automobile you know that the piston rings wear out, allowing gases to escape, and thus reducing the force with which the piston is forced down. Also the cylinder becomes scored^with the same result. Now, if you fire your gun many times the same thing happens. The projectile is the piston and the retaining band of copper the piston ring that seals the bore. If the bore is eroded or if the rotating bands are not perfect a certain escape of gases occurs and the flight of the projectile is consequently affected. Again, there may be a difference in the weight of powder charges or In the weight of the projectiles, which will give slight variations in the flight of the projectiles. So that the battery commander must know the dispersion of each piece. This he finds out from observation of his shots, and it changes as the gun prows older. By figuring the deviation of a certain group of projectiles from the target, and which are known as trial shots or fire for adjustment, he finds out what is known as the mean error of the gun. This, multiplied by the factor .845, well known to students of probabilities, gives the mean probable error. Multiplying by two, the result in yards Is what Is known as the 50 per cent zone, within which 50 per cent of his projectiles will fall. This computation is done longitudinally and latitudinally, giving a certain oblong strip. If the center of this strip can be placed on the target by observation of fire the battery commander has done all that he can, and may now open fire for effect. Four times the 50 per cent zone gives the 100 per cent zone, within which practically all his shots will faH. Knowledge of these zones is all important. By this means he can figure out how near he can come to our own first line trenches without murdering our infantry, and, what Is almost as important, when It Is necessary to save ammunition he can easfly compute how many shots will be necessary to make a certain number of hits on a given target. And what about camouflage? The enemy airplanes are on the alert and all gun positions must be disguised. The battery commander must be a master of camouflage, able to erect fihelters and under their cover to build his emplacements, while by the exercise of discipline he restrains his men from making tracks about the positions which will give away to the allseeing eye of the camera in the air the fact that guns are mounted there. So that is why the student officers at Fort Monroe blistered thein hands and strained their backs erecting camouflages and digging dugouts and bombproof s; that Is why they dove and crawled under motortrucks and delved Into differentials and gear cases, emerging dirty and grimy, hot happy: that Is why they tolled for hours at night, working out lengthy problems in trigonometry until angles danced before their eyes when they tried to sleep and endless chains of logarithms curved themselves tfcroagh tbetr brain cella.

Allies Improve Positions. London—Both the British and French struck sharp, successful, local blows in Flanders April 20, which materially improved their positions. The crowning success of the Allies' local operations came when the French in a brilliant charge on the center of the German southern wedge, to the northwest of Bethuns, hammered a great dent into the enemy's lines.

London — Reinforced by French troops, the Allied line is holding hard against further incursions by the Germans from the region of La Bassee to the north of Ypres, according to April 19 reports. Everywhere the Germans have struck the line in an endeavor to press back the defenders, they have been repulsed with heavy losses and have been successful nowhere in gainlng further ground. Attacks of an extraordinary violent nature were thrown by the Germans on the 10-mile front between Givenchy and Robecq, where an endeavor was made to cross the La Basse canal and bend southward the salient which outflanks the important railroad town of Bethnne. If successful, the new attack of the Germans would jeopardize the entire Arras sector, which includes the famous French coaling region about Lens and the equally famous Vlmy ridge, where the Canadians are holding forth.

Hemet, Cal.—This town and San Jacinto, which Ilea north of here about two miles, both seriously damaged by a severe earthquake shock Sunday afternoon, April 21. Every business house in Memet and in San Jacinto was laid flat, but only two lives were lost. The property damage here is estimated at $260,000 by merchants and property owners who suffered the most loss. At San Jacinto damage was estimated- at a like sum. The 'quake, which came with such warning as was afforded by a brief light shock lasting perhaps 10 seconds, was the most severe ever experienced here. For 30 seconds the buildings rocked and swayed and the ground heaved so that persons standing in the streets and fleeing from their homes were thrown from their feet. One Killed At Los Angeles. Los Angeles—A general earthquake shock, felt throughout southern California Sunday afternoon, cost one life at a nearby resort, caused the serious injury of one woman in a mad rush from a downtown theatre, broke large plate glass windows, shook down cornicea and cut off communication with at least two small towns. At San Bernardino the quake was said by old residents to be the worst of years. Scores of plate glass windows were broken, a hundred feet of brick wall from one low building fell into the Btreet, and cracks were broken in several other walls. There was a panic at the ball grounds, where a game was in progress, and one man was hurt in the rush to escape, Another, running out of a theatre into the street, was struck by an automobile and seriously injured. Riverside suffered a shock of similar intensity. Ornaments were shaken from the courthouse cornice and windowa smashed. At Banning, the front of the Odd Fellows building fell out, striking two automobiles which had just been vacated by their passengers. The tremor was first reported from Barstow at 3:30 p. m., and apparently moved east and south from that point. BIG NAVAL BILL PASSES HOUSE Framed to Develop Biggest Submarine Destroyer Fleet In World. Washington—Framed to develop the largest submarine destroyer force in the world, the big naval appropriation bill, carrying approximately $1,500,- OOC.300, was unanimously passed by the house on April 20, and immediately sent to the senate. Just what the destroyer program will be is not revealed by specific appropriations, but part of it is carried in a $125,000,000 fund to be expended under the direction of the president. A large share of the fund will be expended on Henry Ford's "eagles," destroyer- chaser plant, in Detroit. It Is one of the largest naval appropriation bills in the nation's history and was passed in the record time of nine hours. By special provision, all the appropriations are made immediately available BO that none of the navy work will be delayed. It includes $887,500 for the purchase of additional land to enlarge the Great Lakes Naval training station near Chicago. It also provides $10,- 295,000 for the construction of naval hospitals in *Jbe United States and abroad. One million is proposed for oversea* hospitals.
