DL Bringing the War Home D AMERICANS REPULSE FOE RAID U. S. Troops Successfully Repulse Ataoks On Position—Two Enemy Planes Shot Down By American Aviators. London—Stiffening British reisst ance has checked the German drive southward from the Lys toward Bethune and westward from Merville toward Hazebrouck, near the Belgian border, according to April 15 dispatches. Enemy pressure is continuing with great weight toward the north and desperate battling Is in progress along the line running southwest from Mes- •ines to the south of Bailleul. The whole Ypres salient and the continued safety of the channel ports are pointed to by observers abroad as at stake in the fighting now under way. Hazebrouck and BalHeul, important railway centers, are vital feeding points for Messinea ridge and the Ypres position in general. Americans Repulse Foe Raid. With the American Army in France — Preceded by an intense bombardment of high explosives and poisoned gas shells, picked troops from four German companies hurled themselves against the American positions on the right bank of the Meuse north of St. Mihiel early Sunday, but were completely repulsed after terrific hand-tohand fighting. Two German fighting planes were shot down inside the American lines by Lieutenants A. S. Wliislow, Chicago, and Douglas Campbell, California. Kach men downed one machine. Both the enemy aviators were made prisoner. It is believed Lieutenant Campbell Is the first graduate of a strictly American school to bring down an enemy machine. DETROIT FIRST BIG CITYUVERTHETOP" O V E R S U B S C R I B E S T H I R D LOAN Q U O T A O F $36,000,00X3 IN LESS T H A N F I V E DAYS. FARMERS PROVE PATRIOTISM Campaign in State Demonstrates That Ruralites Are as Willing to Give Money as Cities Are. British Lose Armentieres. gious and mightiest guns far to the north of the Picardy battlefield, Field Marshal von Hindenburg now is driving attack after attack against British lines between Arras and Ypres. Charging across the level country be. hind a tempest of high explosive and gas shells, the Germans, on April 11, succeeded In penetrating British defenses at points over a front of nearly 30 miles to a depth of almost six miles Just to the south of Ypres. The loss of Armentieres is admitted by the British, but this was expected from the trend of events in that sector during the last few days. Tha enemy had driven in on both aides of the town and holding out longer by the British would have imperiled the whole line. So far as known, withdrawal of British forces from Armentieres was orderly and was only for the purpose of straightening the line in the region where the German pressure is heavlensr. The drive south of Ypree has devel oped into a major operation, it would appear, and t h e Germans, using their massed attack system, are not counting losses Inflicted upon them in their advance. So far they have gained little of great tactical value. The high ground along the front Is still held by the British forces and the retirements here and there have not SB yet endangered the integrity of the line from Arras to the North sea. Detroit - After only four and onehalf days campaigning "Detroit the Dynamic" passed its quota of $36,000,- 000 and is now working to roll up thy total $15,000,000, or $20,000,000 higher. Detroit's accomplishment again, as in the first and second loan drives, gives it first place among the country's largest cities, and , just as in the other two campaigns, it is the first big city in the land to over-subscribe its quota. Farmer* Prove Patriotism. Lansing—With the cities continuing to snap up Liberty bonds as the drive continues in Michigan, and with Detroit over her quota of $36,000,000, reports are beginning to come in to Liberty loan headquarters all over the state that the farmers are backing this loan as they did not back either the first or the second issues. In Washtenaw county for instance, of 35 farmers, approached by solicitors the first day of the rural campaign, bought bonds and practically none of them had bought any of the previous loans because they had not been asked. There, as elsewhere, lack of selling organization and not dis. loyalty on the part of the farmers, iR declared to have been resopnsible for light buying in rural districts. HOTELS MAY CLOSE ALL BARS Action Forecast in Recommendation to Sell Only Light Wine and Beer. Britain's Army at Bay. London—Great Britain's armies stand at bay in France and Flanders. After three weeks of a combat which has eclipsed anything that has raged during three and a half years of warfare, Field Marshal Halg has issued a command to his men to hold their ground at whatever cost, and fight with the knowledge their blows are •truck "for the safety of their homes and the freedom of mankind" The end of the first phase of this giant struggle now may be considered as passed. "There must be no retirement," is Half's admonition, which adds the British are now fighting -with their backs to the walls." Th order issued by the field marshal contains another sentence which may W piiSjMnt with significance. "The frmmii m y Is storing rapidly and in great force to mt support.'' he said, a*4 this fa the irst official intimation fist Allies mm reedy to strike hack at Chicago—Abolition of bars in all hotels in the United States and Canado was forecast in an announcement by the executive coancil of the American Hotel association. Declaring the interests of the hotel business paramount to those of the saloon, the council strongy advocated that the sale of Hqour be confined to light wines and bear. This would mean closing of all bar rooms in connection with hotels and a ban on the sale of whisky, gin and other strong drinks, according to J. K. Blatchford, of Chicago, a member of the council LYNCHERS HELD FOR MURDER Jury Recommends Hangers Be T r i e d — Victim Buried in Flag. Collinsville, III.—The coroner's jury which investigated the lyinching here of Robert E. Prager, alleged German sympathizer, at the close of the ?n quest recommended that five men be held, charged with murder, in connection with the hanging. The men ordered held a r e : Joseph Riegei, Wesley Beaver, Richard Dukos, Enid Elmore and William Broekmeier. % Victim Wrapped in Old Glory. S t Louis. Mo—The dying wish of Robert P. Prager, hanged by a mob of coal miners at Collinsville, 111., that h# be buried with an American flag, was respected when services, attended by more than SO* persons, were conduct ed at an undertaking chapel. The service was in charge of a German branch of the Oddfellows. FLINT BIBLE STUDENTS DUCKED Alleged to Have Made Disloyal Utterances to Bond Salesmen. Flint—Alleged disloyal activities of members of International Bible Stu dents' association in Flint, resulted in the immersion in Flint river Saturday night of Paul E. Mann, colporteur foi the organization, and four foreigners, disciples of the cult. Mann is said to have told Liberty bond salesmen he would not give au American soldier a drink of water, if he thought it would help to win the war. Even after being ducked three times in the river and forced to flee before a vigilance committee, Mann is reported as unchanged in his views. DOUBLE BULKHEADS FOR SHIPS Plan Approved as Most Practical tc Make T h e m Non-Sinkable, Washington—All American mer. chant vessels will be equipped with double the number of bulkheads now carried for protection against torpedoes and mines. The shipping board has approved the plan as the most practical of all the "nonsinkable" schemes, and James C. Stewart, of New York, was asked to undertake supervision of the work. Eight instead of four walls hereafter will divide American ships into compartments, decreasing by 50 per cent the space likely to be flooded after an external explosion, and increasing in the same proportion chances of the vessel reaching port. The bulkheads will be made of fourinch planks, with tongue and groove, and tarred, to make them watertight. They will be kept rigid by one-inch steel beams. Concrete bulkheads originally were suggested, but the wood and steel construction was adopted as being lighter and taking less room. It is estimated that in 400 ships there will be a loss of only 5,000 tons cargo space due to the new walls. HOUSE PASSES QUOTA CHANGE Each Communities' Quota to be Based On Class One Registrants. Washington—The war department's plan for basing draft quotas on the number of registrants in class one instead of on population was sustained in the house after an all-day fight oyer 8 resolution passed by the senate authorizing the change. Opponents of the plan championed an amendment by Representative Shallenberger, Nebraska, to base the quotas on total registration and liability to military service, which was defeated 344 to 118. Another amendment by the Nebraska member, directing that credits on quotas be given for all volunteers in the military or naval service since April 1, 1917, was adopted 292 to 63. SENATE DENIES STRIKE RI6HT Twice Votes Down Clause Giving Labor AuthoHty to Enforce Claims. Washington—The right of workingmen to strike during war times has been twice voted down in the senate within the past week. The first timo when the strike clause was taken out of the "sabotage" bill and the second time when it was attempted to have the clause reconsidered. Samuel Oompers was severely criticised tor his statement commenting on the senate notion as "deviltry" and saying the ehutae would not prevent strikes, but wo«Jd nuke the lahoring "law breakers s s wen es strik- BIG U. S. COLLIER BELIEVED LOST N E A R L Y 300 PERSONS ON BOARD CYCLOPS, O V E R D U E SINCE MARCH 13. SHIP ON WAY FROM BRAZIL Eight Michigan Men Among Crew and Pa.M*cngcn—No Word From Vessel Since March 4. Washington—The big American naval collier Cyclops, carrying 57 passengers, 15 officerb and 221 men in her crew, has been overdue at an Atlantic port since March 13. The navy department announced on April 14, that she was last reported at a West Indies island,, March 4, and that extreme anxiety is entertained as to her safety. The vessel was bringing a cargo of manganese from Brazil. The Cyclops left the West Indies with one of her two engines damaged, but the department said this fact would not have prevented her from communicating by radio and all efforts to reach her by that means have been unsuccessful. A thorough search of the course which she would have followed in coming to port has been made and continues, it was announced. No U-Boats In Course. There have been no reports of German submarines or raiders in the locality in which the collier was, the department's statement said. The weather has not been stormy and hardly could have given the collier trouble. The official announcement by the navy does not give the ship up far lost, but merely says "the navy department feels extremely anxious as to her safety." Eight Michigan Men Abroad. Lieutenant Harvey F. Forbes, U. S, N. R. F., of Port Huron, son of Frank Forbes, Detroit, was second in command of the collier Cyclops, from which the navy department has heard no word since her departure from a West Indian port for an Atlantic port of the United States March 4. Following are the names of other Michigan men in the crew: Martin Lee Chase, seaman.

J. STONE IS DEAD Veteran 8enator Succumbs After 8troke of Palalysis. Washington—Senator William J. Stone, Missouri, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee and for many years prominent among Democratic leaders, died here Sunday, April 14, after a stroke of paralysis suffered the Wednesday previous. Senator Stone was born in Madison county, Kentucky, May 7, 1848. He was a member of the Forty-ninth to Fifty-first congresses (1885-91), from the Thirteenth Missouri district. He was governor of Missouri 1893-7, and a member of the Democratic national committee 1896-04 (vice-chairman, 1900-04.) He was a United States senator for the terms 1903-09, 1909-15, 1915-21. He came into much prominence by his pro-peace speeches delivered just before the United States admitted to a state of war with Germany. ANOTHER DRAFT CALL MADE Nearly 50,000 More Men Will Be Taken May 1 to 10. IS PROFITABLE The Future of Great Possibilities. Some idea of ihe great wealth that ihe Wesu'i-n Canada runner hud in view a leu years ago is now beftig realized. The amount received from the sale ut wheal, out*, barley, flux and rvc in 1927 was $-'70,000,000, while the lilies of live stock at Winnipeg alone ueited $40,000,000 additional. Of this sum hogs alone gave over eleven million dolairs. The mcreuses at Calgary and Edmonton were over UlA UlUUu* dollars. ,"' y; Tliis money, so easily earnest, jjkfWr: lug'spent in improvements iirTMlfw property, purchasing additional land, Jjuying tractors, automobiles, and improving home conditions, providing electric light, steam heat, new furniture, pianos, buying Victory bonds, paying up old debts, etc. Over Ave hundred tractors were sold in Southern Alberta la 1917. One implement agent reports that the increase in his business in 1017, over that of 1916, was equal to the total business in 1915. It is the same story all over the country. And it is not this evidence alone which proves the advancement and growth of the three prairie provinces, but the large increase in the number of settlers; the Improvement in the extent of the cultivated areas and agricultural production ; tlie increase in value of which over 191b" was $77,000,000. This wonderful progress that has been made in agriculture in Western Canada is but the beginning which marks the future of the greatest agricultural country on the continent, showing a future of great possibilities. There are millions of acres yet unfiled, and of land as good as any of that which is now giving its owners a return of from twenty to thirty dollars au acre, figures that in many cases represent the cost of the land, with all cultivation costs included. It is true lhat the cost of production has increased during the past few years, but the {trice of the product has also increased to a tigure which leaves a j large balance to the credit of the producer.

I must have sJept for two or three Aours, not the refreshing kind that results from clean sheets and soft pillows, but the sleep that comes from cold, wet and sheer exhaustion. Suddenly, the earth seemed to shake and a thunderclap buret in my ears. I opened my eyes—I was splashed all over with sticky mud, and men were picking themselves up from the bottom of the trench. The parapet on my left had toppled into the trench, completely blocking it with a wall of tossed-up earth. The man on my left lay still. I nibbed the mud from my face, and an awful sight met my gaze—his head was smashed to a pulp, and his steel helmet was full of brains and blood. A German "Minnie" (trench mortar) had exploded in the next traverse. Men were digging into the soft mass of mud in a frenzy of haste. Stretcher-bearera came up the trench on the double. After a few Minutes of digging, three still, muddy forms on stretchers were carried down the communication trench to the rear. Soon they would be resting "somewhere in France," with a little wooden cross over their head9. They had done their bit for king and country, had died without firing a shot, but their services were appreciated, nevertheless. Later on, I found out their names. They belonged to our draft I was dazed and motionless. Suddenly a shovel was pushed Into my hands, and a rough but kindly voice said: "Here, my lad, lend a hand clearing the trench, but keep your head down, and look out for snipers. One of the Fritz's is a daisy, and he'll get you If you're not careful." Lying on my belly on the bottom of the trench, I filled sandbags with the sticky mud, they were dragged to my rear by the other men, and the work of rebuilding the parapet was on. The harder I worked, the better I felt Although the weather was cold, I was 'soaked with sweat Occasionally a bullet would crack overhead, and a machine gun would Wck up the mud on the bashed-in parapet At each crack I would duck and shield my face with my arm. One of the older men noticed this action of mine, and whispered: "Don't duck at the crack of a bul? let, Yank; the danger has passed—you never hear the one that wings you. Always remember that If you are going to get i t you'll get i t so never worry." This made a great Impression on me at the time, and from then on, I adopt* ed his motto, "If you're going to get i t you'll get It" It helped me wonderfully. I used It so often afterwards that some of my mates dubbed me, "If you're going to get It you'll get It" After an hour's hard work, all my nervousness left me, and I was laughing and joking with the rest At one o'clock, dinner came up In the form of a dixie of hot stew. I looked for my canteen. It had fallen off the fire step, and was half buried in the mud. The man on my left noticed this, and told the corporal, dishing out the rations, to put my share in his mess tin. Then he whispered to me, "Always take care of your mess tin, mate,** I had learned another maxim of the trenches. That stew tasted fine. I was as hungry aa a bear. We had "seconds,* or another helping, because three of the men had "gone West,** killed by the explosion of the German trench mortar, and we ate their share, but stin I was hungry, so I filled In with bully beef and biscuits. Then I drained a y water bottle. Later on I learned another maxim of the front line, MOo •pmrlngly with year water.** The baity beef made me thirsty, and by tea time I was dying for a drink, but my pride would not allow me to ask my mates for water. I was fast learning the ethics of the trenches. That night I was put on guard with an older man. We stood on the fire step with our hands over the top, peering out into No Man's Land. It was nervous work for me, but the other fellow seemed to take it as part of the night's routine. Then something shof past my face. My heart stopped beating, and I ducked my head below the parapet. A soft chuckle from my mate brought me to my senses, and I feebly asked, "For heaven's sake, what was that?" He answered. "Only a rat taking a promenade along the sandbags." I felt very sheepish. About every twenty minutes the sentry in the next traverse would fire a star shell from his flare pistol. The "plop" would give me a start of fright. I never got used to this noise during my service In the trenches. I would watch the arc described by the star shell, and then stare into No Man's Land waiting for it to burst. In its lurid light the barbed wire and stakes would be silhouetted against its light like a latticed window. Then darkness. Once, out In front of our wire, I heard a noise and saw dark forms moving. My rifle was lying across the sandbagged parapet. I reached for it, and was taking aim to fire, when my mate grasped my arm, and whispered, "Don't fire." He challenged in a low voice. The reply came back Instantly from the dark forms: "Shut your bllnkin' mouth, you bloomln' Idiot; do you want us to click It from the Bodies?" Later we learned that the word, "No challenging or firing, wiring party out In front," had been given to the sentry on our right but he had failed to pass It down the trench. An officer had overheard our challenge and the reply, and Immediately put the offending sentry under arrest The sentry clicked twenty-one days on the wheel, that is, he received twenty-one days' field punishment No. 1, or "crucifixion," as Tommy terms it. This consists of being spread-eagled on the wheel of a limber two hours a day for twenty-one days, regardless of the weather. During this period, your rations consist of bully beef, biscuits and water. A few months later I met this sentry and he confided to me that since being "crucified," he had never failed to pass >the word down the trench when so ordered. In view of the offense, the above punishment was very light In that falling to pass the word down a trench may mean the loss of many lives, and the spoiling of some Important enterprise in No Man's Land. CHAPTER VI. "Back of the Line." Our tour in the front-line trench lasted four days, and then we were relieved by the brigade. Going down the communication trench we were in a merry mood, although we were cold and w e t and every bone in our bodies ached. It makes a lot of difference whether yon are "going In" or "going out" At the end of the communication trench, limbers were waiting on the road for ns. I thought we were going to ride back to rest billets, but soon found out that the only time an Infantryman rides is when he Is wounded and is bound for the base or Blighty. These limbers carried our reserve ammunition and rations. Oar march to rest billets was thoroughly enjoyed by me. It seemed as i f I were on furlough, and was leaving healed everything that was illeaties able and horrible. Every recruit feels this way after being relieved Cross tine V»e iiiurcned eialrt alius and then halted iu trout of a French estatuinet. The captain gave the order to turn out on each side of the road aud wait his return. Pretty soon he came back and told B company to occupy billets 117, 118 and 119. Billet 117 wus an old stable which had previously been occupied by cows. About four feet in trout of the entrance was a huge manure pHe, and the odor from it was anything but pleasant. Using my flashlight I stumbled through the door. Just before entering I observed a white sign reading: "Sitting 50, lying 20," but, at the time, its significance did not strike me. Next morning I asked the sergeant major what it meant. He nonchalantly answered : "That's some of the work of the R. A. M. C. (Koyal Army Medical corps). It simply means that in case of an attack, this billet will accommodate fifty wounded who are able to sit up and take notice, or twenty stretcher cases." It was not long after this that I was one of the "20 lying." I soon hit the hay and was fast asleep, even my friends the "cooties" failed to disturb me. The next morning at about six o'clock I was awakened by the lance corporal of our section, informing me that I had been detailed as mess orderly, and to report to the cook and give him a hand. I helped him make the fire, carry water from an old well, and fry the bacon. Lids of dixies are used to cook the bacon in. After breakfast was cooked, I carried a dixie of hot tea and the lid full of bacon to our section, and told the corporal that breakfast was ready. He looked at me in contempt, and then shouted. "Breakfast up, come and get it 1" I immediately got wise to the trench parlance, and never again informed that "Breakfast was served." It didn't take long for the Tommies to answer this call. Half dressed, they lined up with their canteens and I dished out the tea. Each Tommy carried in his hand a thick slice of bread which had been issued with the rations the night before. Then I had the pleasure of seeing them dig into the bacon with their dirty fingers. The allowance was one slice per man. The late ones received very small slices. As each Tommy got his share he Immediately disappeared into the billet. Pretty soon about fifteen of them made a rush to the cookhouse, each carrying a huge slice of bread. These slices they dipped Into the bacon grease which was stewing over the fire. The last man invariably lost out. I was the last man. After breakfast our section carried their equipment into a field adjoining the billet and got busy removing the trench mud therefrom, because at 8:45 a. m., they had to fall in for Inspection Resting Back of the Lines. and parade, and woe betide the man who was unshaven, or had mud on his uniform. Cleanliness is next to godliness In the British army, and Old Pepper must have been personally acquainted with S t Peter. Our drill consisted of close-order formation, which lasted until noon. During this time we had two ten-mlnute breaks for rest, and no sooner the word, "Fall out for ten minutes," was given than each Tommy got out a fag and lighted It Fags are Issued every Sunday morning, and you generally get between twenty and forty. The brand generally issued Is the "Woodbine." Sometimes we are lucky and get "Goldflakes," "Players" or •'Red Hussars." Occasionally an issue of "Life Rays" comes along. Then the older Tommies immediately get busy on the recruits and trade these for "Woodbines" or "Goldflakes." A recruit only has to be stuck once in this manner, and then he ceases to be a recruit. There is a reason. Tommy is a great cigarette smoker. He smokes under all conditions, except when unconscious or when he Is reeonnottering in No Man's Land at night Then, for obvious reasons, he does not care to have a lighted cigarette in his month. Stretcher bearers carry fags for wounded Tommies. When a stretcher bearer arrives alongside of a Tommy who has been hit the following conversation usually takes place: Stretcher bearer—"Want a tag? Where are you hit?" Tommy looks up uud answers, "Yes. In the leg." After dismissal from pa rude, we returned to our billets and 1 had to get busy Immediately with the dinner issue. Dinner consisted of stew made from fresh beef, a couple of spuds, bully beef, Maconochle rations uud water— plenty of waier. There is greut competition among the men to spear with their forks the two lonely potutoea. Back on the front line, after a stay in rest billets, Empey gets a shock when a German bullet cuts down hia first friend of the trenches. He tells the story In the next installment. (.TO B E C O N T I N U E D . ) MOST PERILOUS OF TRADES Ship's Rigger, When at Work, Has Realization That Each Moment May Be His Last. It is not the trapeze performer, the steeple-jack, or the old-time sailor who faces the greatest peril in his work, but the ship's rigger, who combines all three of these callings. During the present war, with the reappearance of sailing vessels in our porta, the ancient profession of ship's rig-ger had been suddenly revived. The seaports have been scoured to discover old riggers, for their service today 1B invaluable. The skill and daring of American ship's riggers was once as famous as that of the Yankee skippers, says Boys' Life, the boy scouts' magazine. When a sailing vessel comes Into port in need of repairs the ship's rigger Is the first man aloft. It may be impossible to tell if her rigging will support a man's weight. The ropea may be covered with ice. The rigger must Judge the strength of the ropes with his eye and risk his life upon them. A trapeze performer in the circus must trust his weight to ropea high in air, but he is sure that they are strong and will bear his weight. The ship's rigger must swing himself in quite as perilous positions and remain there for hours, doing the hardest kind of work. The sailing of the ship usually waits upon the repairs he makes, and the expense of maintaining the crew and delaying the ship makes it necessary for him to work with feverish haste day and night. | Thousands Find Relief IN THB REDIABLB OLD SAFEGUARD DO D D/S Kidney Pills IN all parts of the rountry, every day, s u f f e r e r s frorri kidney troubles are laying: Goodbye, backache: goodbye, peine; Dodd'a iqdaey Pills h*ve settled you for food."

Arrest at the Instance of an army officer of a young woman who had committed bigamy in order to secure the allowance granted to soldiers* dependents gives color to the warning issued against this new type of "vampire," notes the Omaha Bee. Young soldiers are picked out by these women and deliberately led Into marriage, the one purpose being to secure money from the government. The game is not a new one, nor does it exhibit much modification in its details. It 1« reported from some of the Southern army camps that as many as three and four soldiers have been wedded to the same woman. The young men who are away from home for the first time, wearing their country's uniform, should be warned that marriage Is hot merely an enlistment for the war, and therefore to be approached very seriously. Romance Is part of a soldiers life, but It may have consequences that will embarrass him in after years. The "vampire" is one of his chiefest dangers, and one against whom it Is difficult to guard.

One of the most attractive booklets issued recently is the year book put out by Swift & Com puny, covering tho activities of the big packing concern during the year 1917. Serving us aa Introduction Is tho address of the vice president, K. F. Swift, to the stockholders, in which he tells of the abnormally high prices paid for live stock in Chicago and of the prices obtained for meat; of the Investigation by the federal trade commission, and the licensing by tho government of food distributing agencies and the limiting of profits on slaughtering and meat packing to 9 per cent on money employed. Mr. Swift also told with pride of the 2,800 employees who had entered the various branches of the United States service, and concluded with the statement that Swift & Company would do their utmost to help win the war. An interesting and Illuminative section of the booklet is that devoted to statistics of live stock prices and production, and another Is given up to telling "the packer's service to producer and consumer." Figures are given showing that the net profit of the company per head, 1912 to 1916, averaged $1.22 for cattle, less than 13 cents for sheep and less than 58 cents for hogs. It is explained that the large aggregate profits are due to the immense volume of business done. The booklet Is handsomely Illustrated with photographs and color prints and the cover illustration, mad© from a photograph of a corn farm In Ohio, is especially attractive.

Good Demand for Straw The removal from farms and ranges to Army camps of nearly a third of a million horses and mules has increased the market demand for straw for bedding several hundred tons per week. The prices at Army camps and large markets have naturaly influenced the price of this commodity on local markets, and the Btraw that was forrrerly burned or allowed to be trampled down by stock will now bring enough on the market to leave a good margin of profit All barberry bushes except the species and variety known as Japanese barbary are hereby declared to be, and the same are, a public nuissnee and a menace to the public welfare, and their maintenance, propagation, sals, or introduction in the state is forbidden. It shall be the duty of every person 0« ningiag or having charge of any premises on which barberry bushes of the rust producing varieties are fcrown or at any time found growing, to forthwith destroy such bushes.

Massachusetts legislature ratified the federal prohibition amendment making 11 states in line. Many legislatures do not convene till 1919 but much is hoped from them. Both houses of the Mississippi legislature have passed a so-called "bone dry" measure which repeals that part of the present law providing for a limited amout of liquor per month for those desiring it. Governer Emmet D. Boyle of Nevada 18 reported to have telegraphed thecounty commissioners of Elko county to deny applicatiofijfor renewal of licenses for saloons a t Wendover and Deep Creek, soon to expire. This action was taken on request of Governor Simon Bamberger of Utah, who charges that the holders of licenses at these pofn's ahip liquor into Utah by automobile and railroad in violatiou of the prohibition law of that state. At least 1000 Chicago saloonsare expected to goout of business May 1 the date for. saloon license renewals, accord ing to a report from the office of the city collector. Last fall more than 500 saloons quit business. Many other liquor dealers announced at that time that they would continue only until! May 1: Some saloonkeepers are quitting be* cause of their inability to obtain sunplies of whisky and other alcoholic drinks, except at exorbitant prices says the report. Others admit that the dry wave will eventually sweep Chicago" I Slipping. The market price of straw is now between $8 and $20 per ton, and there is a good demand for almost any kind of straw. Farmers who are not in the habit of felling straw, bat who can advantageously do so, should bale their surplus or arrange to do so daring the present ing planned in the belief that it is just as essential that teachers in the country schools be specially trained to deal with the problems they are called upon t o encounter as it is that city teachers be informed in the subjects of most importance in the cities.

CASTORM For Infant* and Children* Mothers Know That Genuine Castoria Always Bears the Signature of (kmstipafianandDianW NEWTfQgg (By BOOTH T A R K I N G T O N . ) When we Intrust our savings to a bank, we like to know that It's a sound bank. We feel sufe then to leave our money in charge of that bank and Its officers. They will use It in various ways which seem good to them, but we will get It ail back, if the bank is sound. Yet no bank in the United States of America can be as sound as the United States itself. Therefore, when the United States government turns banker, the safest place for our money to be put Is in the hands of this government. Anybody can see that, without bothering to look twice. Uncle Sam himself will take care of our money, and w e l l get It back. We know that. His word is so good that w#> can get the money back whenever we need it, because his bonds will sell, any time, for just about what we pay for them. A few years hence, ot course, they will sell for more than we pay for them. During the time that we leave our money with Uncle Sam—what we call the Liberty Loan—he pays ns interest. Well, I've had a higher per cent than he pays—not for a loan, because I had to pay taxes that reduced the per cent to 3¼—but on investments. Once I made an investment that paid 19 per cent, but it only paid it once, and then the fellow who talked me into it left town without telling anybody good-by. I've found, since then, that I can't get much better than Uncle Sam's rate in the long rim. When 1 think I can, usually the factory has to have new boilers, after my first dividend comes in, or the ore "isn't quite the quality we had reason to expect," and I begin the long squirm to get out with something reasonably near what I put In. N o ; nowadays I think the government rate Is abont all I'm going to get from any investment which I place with regard to the investment's margin of safety. Therefore I get all I can of Uncle Sam's Liberty bonds because they are today, of all the possible Investments in the whole world, absolutely the safest. Nobody except Uncle Sam will or can give us his rate and the same absolute certainty that we'll get our interest paid promptly and thQ principal when it is due. That's the selfish side of i t ; we can't do better with the money for our selfish selves, The other side of it is that Uncle Sam uses the money for our own boys In France and our boys on the seas—our boys whose hard and terrible daily work Is done so gayly; and death always with them—dropping from the air above them, ready to strike up at them from the ground, or from the water beneath them. They bear this for us, that our ideal of freedom may not be lost forever and that we shall not become the Prussian's servant. A good interest rate and safety for the money, and safety for our ideals, and for our liberty—that's what we get when we Invest In the Liberty loan! WORDS AND DEEDS For Over Thirty Years CASTORIA (By WALT MASON.) I may use language till I make Demosthenes look like a fake. I may rear up some nine feet high, and tell how I would bleed and die, if I were not no old and gray and crippled up and full of hay. I may denounce the foreign foe and tell how gladly I would go to wield a shotgun in the scrap and shoo t h e kaiser off the m a p ; but If I think more of my wad than of my country and my God, the things I say won't cut much g r a s s ; my words are merely sounding brass. Our Uncle Sam li needing m e n ; he's needing rhino by the t o n ; he can't conduct a high-class scrap without a lot of dough on tap. To raise the dust he asks all lads to lend him all their surplus scads, to buy his bonds—security - the safest ever m a n will see. And if I do not gambol up, as gay and frisky as a pup, and buy the bonds till I go broke, my loyal spiels a r e merely smoke.

Rudolph (Has, distingue* Deputy Otto Rohn, who earned such unenviable notoriety a short time ago, having been arrested at a cockfight, has bnen around our lakes recently and arrested three faimers for illegal fishing. During these times of stress, when living material is so scarce and high in price, especially after the poor crops of the past three years, would it not be a great help to the farmers if the State authorities would be a little less vigilant if a hard working farmer catches a fish or two from the waters that nature has so wisely supplied with the food that is so acceptable at this particular time of food scarcity? And does it add to the dignity of this great State to have men of the Otto Rohn stripe to enforce the fish law? This man Rohn, with a disregard for individuals characteristic ! of the old Kaiser himself, makes his overbearing ofEcieasnees less excusable by compelling these farmers to appear at Ann Arbor for trial, although there are several justices of the peace nearer by, t h i s adding materially to the coats and to sonabody's—if not his own, profit. Canada has already temporarily saspended the laws controlling the catching of fish in it's waters during the war, making it possible to catch any kind of fish except brook trout and one variety of bass. We suggest to the Governor that all deputy game and fish war dens who are as husky physically as Otto Rohn could be of greater benefit and of more asisstance now to the people and the State during this time of war if put at some kind of work where they could at least produce their own living.

They believe that the soul is an unwilling prtsoner within us, and the moment we relax our vigil in sleep It leaves the body to attend to Its own affairs and some of us possess the faculty of commanding the soul at a given hour when we wish to awake. From this originates the theory of heaven and hell. When the long sleep comes at last and the soul Is bodyleae It must tiud some sort of lodging, and this lodging Is meted out according to the conduct of the body in which the soul was a tenant.

Writh the American Army in France —Two German raids on different sectors of the American position northwest of Toul were repulsed April 7 with enemy casualties. The Germans were driven off before reaching the American trenches, by accurate machine gun and automatic fire. At one point Germans laid down a box barrage. As soon as this lifted, Americans came up from shelters and poured a heavy fire into the advancing raiders, who retired after a short period of close fighting with American outposts. At another point Germans threw hundreds of gas shells before advancing, but Americans donned gas masks and waited for the raiders. These they quickly dispersed by their fire.

Imperial Rome clothed In ermine was the vision the vanishing year of 1917 gave to a surprised populace. The Eternal city mantled In snow was the unusual and almost unheard of spectacle which greeted the Romans on the morning after Christmas, writes Alice Rohe in the Kansas City Star. Those who woke to find the city chastened with its white vestments, lying peaceful and mysterious, felt the spell of the unusual and wondered if it could be a sign of peace. Whatever private emotions surged through an astonished people, the ancient chroniclers announced that for the first time in thirty years a heavy snow storm had descended upon Rome. There are those who record more recent snow, but not of a similar heavy fall. And snowstorms In Rome, generally occur in January or February. This time for three days snow fell upon the sleeping city and then disappeared with the sun's rays at noon. Not only the people regarded the phenomenon with wonderment . but the tram lines and telephone wires were so overcome by the strain that they refused to operate. City's Routine Upset. The public conveyances were stunned Into helplessness. Roman cab horses know nothing of snow and Roman cabmen are likewise afflicted. Consequently the intrepid pedestrians found themselves wading through deep slush by noon In a cabless town. The Piazza Colonnn was, with the thawing. like a lake of sherbet across which a few venturesome scouts—generally foreigners— were wading. In the forenoon a group of American boys from the aviation camp at Foggia—up for a holiday—hired a car to take a trip out the Appian Way— but the chauffeur, despite the protests and stronger arguments of the aviators, that a little dampness wouldn't hurt a machine, had to renounce the trip at the Catacombs.

Scene of Rare Beauty. The beauty of the snow-covered city is a thing Romans will not forget. The panorama, from the Plnclan Hill, itself carpeted with a 5-lnch covering of white, its palm trees picturesque and curious sentinels In the winter setting, was incomparable. Saint Peters dome, ermined, with the ball, a white world symbol, ns ever dominated the picture. Nearer, the Pantheon, now white, shone in its new garment. Far away over white powdered roofs and terraces through twisted, irregular streets, rose the whitened*Janiculum, the watchful figure of Garibaldi, mantled in snow. From the ghostlike whiteness of the Palatine", an undisturbed shroud lay upon the campagna, in early morning, through which a specter-like Appian Way stretched toward the truly named Alban Hills. In the heart of ancient Rome, the miracle of the snow brought umbrellas and overshoes out of American and English closets to go forth on wondering admirers thrilled by the startling transformation of Rome's antiquities.

But the smell was the only indication of the presence of the substance; all the chemical reactions declared that there was no tellurium present In the powder. The chemist therefore, concluded that, if no tellurium was present, there must be a new substance ! there, as yet undiscovered, which resembled tellurium. When he had extracted from the mass all the materials that he knew were present, he found a residue, which proved to be. as he had suspected, a new elementary substance. This new substance, which was named selenium, resembled alack sealing wax in appearance. In Its vitreous form it was a nonconductor of electricity, but when heated almost to the fusing point and allowed to c*ol very slowly it completely changed Its appearance. It acquired a dull, metallic look, like lead; and In that, its crystalline condition, It was a conductor of electricity, but of extremely high resistance. A little pencil of crystalline selenium, not much more than an inch long, offered as much resistance to the passage of the electrical current as 96,000,000 miles of wire, enough to reach from here to the sun.

Gothic roof barns—those with curved roofs in the form of a pointed arch— are getting to be quite common. There are a few leaders among the fanners in every community who occupy a conspicuous position and who favor the unique or distinctive type of farm building for that reason. These like the gothic root barn. Even if the cost should be a trifle more, they gladly stand it because of the distinction which a big barn of this type gives a farmstead. The L-shaped barn with a gothic roof is not so common. Barn builders have worked out a standard solution to the roof-framing problem of the gothic barn and it seldom gives trouble any more; but when the contractor tvpe of built-up rafters Is used because it makes a very neat roof, and because il gives tin exceptionally large mow space, entirely free from inside truss work or bracing. The curve of the rafters is taken advantage of to stiffen the roof. These rafters are built up of segments cut from inch stuff, cut lo the proper curve and nailed together sideways, so the edges of the different strips are placed out and In. Some builders claim that curved ratters are stifler when the edges of the boards are placed out and in. Rafters are made wide enough to be stiff, and thick enough to add the necessary strength. Built up in this way from segments cut out of good material and thoroughly well side-nailed through and through as the different segments are added, it Is possible and practical to make each rafter into a very stiff stick of timber. Whether a rafter is solid or whether it is made of openwork in truss fashion, it must have the push and pull of the truss principle. This is a law of construction that must not be ignored in building a roof after this Gothic roof plan. The principle is a good one, and the roof when finished is very neat and pleasing, both inside and outside. It gives the acme of capacity for storage, consistent with good building construction and proportioned to the amount of material used. A certain value is added to the finished building because of the appearance. Style has a commercial value, even when applied to a farm barn. The stable floor plan of this barn provides an excellent arrangement for taking care of both cows and horses in the same building. Stalls for 30 milk cows are arranged in the main section of the barn, while the horse stable is in the "L." Arizona's Potash Find. Potash has been found in Arizona, 30 miles north of Parker, says the San Francisco Argonaut. It is confined to an underground basin in a state of «i!aja"v«A^»)>; ^mmmm and his men undertook to roof this Lshaped building they were up against a new proposition in the curved hip and valley rafters where the two roofs intersect. It is the same problem, but on a much larger scale, encountered in building a curved celling In a square room. A close examination of the photograph of this job during construction will be both interesting and instructive to other builders. The hip and valley rafters are made very heavy. Their curvature is, of course, not the same as that of the common rafters, but corresponds point for point the same as a straight hip or valley corresponds to its common rafter. The task is to lay out the diagram and fashion the curves on this high scale. This style roof is self-supporting with an absolutely clean mow with no purlin posts or braces of any kind, that is, extending below the curved ribs. Several lines of boards are solution and the brine is pumped easily. The basin is not far from the Colorado river, but the two are not connected. Explorations so far confine the basin to an area six mile^ In diameter. A well 75 feet deep has been bored into the basin, but this is not the deposit's full depth. Potash is of great value in the uses of commerce and manufactures, and this discovery is of especial importance just now In time of war. The analysis of the brine is so encouraging that the district where it lies already has been staked full of claims. Thrift. A Denver millionaire gave his little daughter a superb doll's house.

This manner of bracing, when the sides of the building are tied together by the boarding, make* a very solid structure up to the. plates. There are a great many bolts used In this-diagonal brace work. In fact, plank frame barn construction has led to the use of bolts quite generally. Above the plates the design and construction of this barn are also especialy Interesting to farmers. The curved aire asked the little girl during the holidays. "It's all right," she answered, carelessly. "But where is It?" said the millionaire, looking round the sumptuous nursery.

A monster inventory has been made of all food resources In the United States, and now Uncle Sam is in a fair way to know what food stocks he has on hand to last over until next season's crops come In, how much food he can spare for the allies, and how sparingly he should make use of It at home. Under an act of congress approved by the president August 10, 1917, the secretary of agriculture was authorized to Investigate and ascertain the demand for, the supply, consumption, costs and prices of, and the basic facts relating to the ownership, production, transportation, manufacture, storage and distribution of foods, food materials and any articles required In connection with the production, distribution or utilization of food. An appropriation was- granted for the survey, and within a week after the bill had been signed by the president schedules were in outgoing mails to food merchants and manufacturers. Here are some facts regarding the correspondence which formed the basis of the nation-wide food inventory, The master list which was compiled by the bureau of markets was made up of 525,000 names. There were 18,000 grain, flour and feed dealers; 1,200 brewers, 800 distillers, 6,500 canners of fruits, vegetables and sea foods; 1,400 refiners and dealers In edible oils, 1,- 300 sugar and syrup refiners, 32,000 wholesale and retail bakers, 1,040 fish freezing plants, and so on through the hundred or more classified food trades. A huge force of clerks was kept busy mailing schedules and sorting, editing and classifying the returned reports. The whole master list was more than duplicated by follow up letters and letters giving special information. The inventory covered 86 leading food Item's and brought in complete returns of the year's harvests. Four general classes of commodities were covered : First, quantities of raw products on the farms, such as grain, live stock, poultry, eggs and honey; second, stocks of food products nearer the consuming stage in manufacturing, jobbing, wholesale, storage and other commercial establishments; third, stocks in small retail establishments; fourth, food supplies on the shelves nnd in the bins of the family pantry. Done Largely by Mail. The most important part of Uncle Snni's stock taking job was done by correspondence with food dealers and makers. But it was not possible to Inventory all food stocks by mail. There were 163,000 small retail grocers who, through inability to read or understand English, were unable to carry out the instructions of the schedule. It would have been quite impossible to inventory each one of these small concerns by personal canvass. Therefore the bureau resorted to estimates based <m a detailed survey of representative counties. As a basis of selection for these type counties, all the counties In the United States were divided into seven groups according to the size of the largest village, town or city contained in each. The first group consisted of 26 metroimlitan districts, In a number of Instances embracing all or parts of Severn 1 counties; the second group contained 19 Smaller. metmpoUtan dia- &7f>Loy£v orsu^£xua^/t^?/<£7Zf^rM^M o^Jtxx>ouj^y£r trlcts and adjacent territory having cities of from 100,000 to 200,000 population ; the third group contained counties having cities of from 26,000 to 50,- 000; in the seventh group there were 1,639 counties which had no village so large as 2,500. The survey work in cities was done by the bureau of chemistry through its food and drug inspectors and state and local health officials and inspectors. These representatives went from store to store and left with proprietor or manager schedules of all possible staples, with the request that they be filled out In 48 hours. In many parts of the larger cities, especially in the poorer districts, the police had to explain to the grocers that the law required them to fill out the schedule and that they were liable to a penalty for failure to do so. The survey covered the stocks on farms and in the 22,000,000 households of the United States. The bureau of crop estimates, with Its existing army of crop reporters, attended to the farm stocks. The total number of returns exceeded 300,000. Household Inventory Made. To catch in the net for food information the 22,000,000 households In the United States was a stupendous task. As it was Impossible to approach each one of these households, 44,000 families, representative of the entire population as to place of residence, family income and occupation were studied* In detail and estimates derived from these figures covered with a fair degree of accuracy the entire country. The aim of the household survey was to get a fairly accurate idea of the food stocks in individual households, supplementary to certain data sent In from coM storage concerns and making complete returns as to the quantity of preserved meats, eggs, fruits and vegetables in the country. Secondarily the schedule found out how much of certain staple commodities were being used, and checked up by means of inquiries on the comparative amounts of certain foods consumed during the last two years on the ability of the average American family to follow out conservation food measures which have been recommended. * A vital phase of the household survey was the inquiry into milk production and the various ways in which this valuable food product is utilized. The schedule to be filled out by householders was divided *lnto four sections: Section 1, Meats preserved for home use this winter and last. Section 2. Fruits, vegetables and eggs preserved for home use for 1917 and 191«. Section 3. Total quantity of milk produced, consumed and sold under the following items per average week during the last year: 1, whole milk; 2,.cream; 9, skimmed m i l k - quantity fed to animals and quantity used in household. Section 4 covered the total quantity of 34 leading foods consumed during the calendar year 1917 and the estimated consumption of certain of these 34 leading foods during 1916 in order to see to what extent families have been able to use substitute foods in the present emergency. Dietary Investigation Aids. Dietary investigations were made by Doctor Langworthy of the division of home economics which dovetail with the more sweeping household inventory of the federal food survey. Doctor Langworthy conducted an Intensive research Into the quantities and kinds of foods used in a number of selected families. These figures will bring up to date dietary Investigations made In the same division under Doctor Atwater's regime, and which up to the present time huve been the only statistics available as a basis for dietary calculations, even for those of the Royal British commission. The practical results of this survey will, It is believed, be of great value. For instance, it will enable us to plan our crop production for the ensuing year with a degree of Intelligence which would be impossible without this definite and comprehensive survey. It would be difficult to find the owner of a factory who would plan out a producing program, without having a moderately accurate Idea of market demands, and stocks already on hand. We have been running our factory, so to speak, absolutely blind, without regard to orders or probable sales. It is ridiculous to urge greatly Increased production unless we can say and say with definlteness that there is a shortage and that the producer will be assured a moderate return for his labor. We are about to know for the first time by consideration of actual figures how we are situated with reference to our right to export the various commodities considering the needs of our own people. Again we shall know what we should substitute In the way of those things that are present in a plentiful supply for those which are not plentiful. Information to the effect that there Is a surplus of potatoes on the market will exert a leverage on the price fixer, and will encourage the Increased use of this specific food product At Increased consumption of potatoes means using leas bread. It Is a definite wheat conservation measure. We should know where we can use heavily and where lightly. Hoarding would be impossible. ""Charles J. Brand, who Is at the head of the nation's food Inventory, bolleres that a food survey taken annually, before the fall crops come In aad frst after they are in, will eventually bt> come an established custom, /sy MART Q^^msxm^ T H E V I L L A G E CLOCK. "Well," said the village clock us some of the brownies climbed up to the tower upon which It stood und took seats around on a tiny balcony. "Well what?" asked the brownies. "Well," said the villu«e Hock, "it's enough to begin with one word. When I continue I use more words and before I huve finished I have »sed many. But I betfin with one. It's all that is necessary and so why should I bother about more?" "True," said Billle Brownie, "but most folks don't stop after their first word. They go on and on and on. Sometimes they talk for ever so Ions. In fact until everyone has forgotten that they ever had a first word." • "I am the village, clock. I ana not 'most folks.' And what is more, I wouldn't be for anything in the world." "Could you be if you wanted?" asked Bennie Brownie. "Don't be rude, little boy," said the Hock. "I'm not saying whether I couldn't or whether I could. It's not a matter for discussion." "Whatever do you mean by discussion?" asked one of the very young brownies. "Talk, my child," said the clock. "Talk and discussion mean Just about the same. Sometimes, though, a discussion may be an argument and sometimes' an argument may mean a quarrel. So discussion has all sorts of possibilities which talk hasn't got. Yes, I'd rather be discussion than talk if I were a word. It has more chances in life." "Could you be a word if you wanted to be?" asked the youngest brownie of all. "I am a word," said the clock. "And a fine word I am too. The word which I am Is clock, little brownie. Yes, clock Is certainly a word and that word means nothing else but me—or else one of my family. "And such a fine family as I belong to. We keep the time. We don't care for people If they won't obey us. Do you suDDOse for one minute when any- "When It's Dark Anyone Can See Me." one Is late we'll move back? Not a bit of it.

Of course there are clocks that get out of order and stop, but that's only because they have something the matter with their works. We won't stop for anything else. We sometimes have to be wound up, but as for stopping because someone was late and didn't want to bet Goodness, we'd never do that And when any of our family has to go to the clock mender's or be wound up, the time goes on just the same.

"It was really what I was going on to say when I began talking by saying, •Well/ I was going to say, 'Well, at Last it has happened. They have lighted up my face.' "You see I strike every hour to let folks know the time, but It's nice to be able to see me In the evening between the hours. And so they've lighted up my face, and when it's dark anyone can see me.

All this shows we have put money Into It But there la today the shadow of war hanging over the entire land. The nation is In peril. Now Is the time of all times when money must be put Into this land of the free and the home of the brave if It Is to remain prosperous and hap* py. The purchase of Liberty bonds puts your money where It will do the most good in this grave crisis. Bo a Bond Salesman for Uncle Sam. When you have bought your bond, don't stop. Become s bond aalesmaq for your government and see to it that your neighbor buys a bond. Explain to him that you and he have to do this, as the soldier at the front has to fight. Russia failed to support Its army and its army failed to fight for Russia, and today Germany is taking over thousands of square miles of rich farming and mineral lands, title to which is held by Russians who will have their deeds considered mere scraps of paper by their conquerors. Buy bonds from your government and sell them for it. Make the United States a success Instead of a failure, like Russia. Farmer, Hired Man and Liberty Loan. Intelligent farmers know that a hired man does better work If he is bountifully fed, pleasantly housed and warmly clad. Uncle Sam today has abroad close to 1,000,000 hired men, engaged In the most toilsome and hazardous work. They cannot be fed. clothed and housed unless money is provided.

By BOIRSIANCR, [Financial Editor, Chicago Examiner.] Not many years before Abraham Lincoln became president Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln were fed and sheltered In the Globe tavern, Springfield, III., at four dollars a week. In other terms, they each paid two dollars a week for room and board at what then was one of the best family hotels in the state capital. Incredibly cheap t To us today, yes. but not to the Americans of the 50*s and 60*s. The purchasing power of a dollar in those days was tremendous. When the Civil war broke out the wealth of the United States was appraised at $17,000,000,000. Let us be liberal and make it 120,000,000,000 at the end of that internecine strife, the total cost of which was 14,000,000,000. At that time the national debt was $2,- 625,000,000. Put In another way, the country had spent In the Civil war onefifth of her entire wealth. What happened? Within eighteen years the whole of Jthe national debt was paid off; extinguished by a commonwealth with only one-third of the present population; with little or no prestige as a world power; with ail her railways, half of her city real estate and 60 per cent of her farms mortgaged to European capitalists; with bank resources of only $4,000,000,000 and with not a dollar's worth of investments abroad. There are estimates that ere kaiser- Ism shall be crushed our national obligation will stand at $20,000,000,000. That would mean about 8 per cent of the wealth of the nation (which Is not leas than $250,000,000,000) or 4 per cent less than the percentage In 1865. America today is the leading power, the wealthiest country in the world. It Is a creditor nation. Its railways, real estate and farms are owned by her own people and her bank resources total $49,389,000,000. After this, is it necessary to ask if a United States government bond Is a safe investment? There is nothing safer in the world; nothing which promises so rapid and so high an appreciation once the war Is ended. These are the cold facts of the proposition. There Is another side: the ioveof- country, the love-of-Liberty, the great-humanlty-cause side. War and the Weather.

London of Today a Marvel, Forming One of the Most Important War Centers of Entire World. A Rhodesian who has arrived In England to "join up." after service in! the three campaigns undertaken by the South Africans, assures me of his astonishment at the tact and thoroughness exhibited in the daily work of military police, says a writer in Westminster Gazette. The London of today is, indeed, a never-ending marvel to the colonial soldier. It forms one of the most Important military censers of the world. It Is Inhabited by a floating population drawn from one of the most cosmopolitan armies in history—an army, too, that Is in no way remarkable for the gentleness of its fighting methods when the game's afoot Yet, as my South African friend phrased it, "the whole mob goes about on Its business and Its pleasures like a small flock of contented sheep with a couple of welltrained dogs behind them." j Things were not always managed that way In the early days of the forces raised by the dominions In the first year of war. My informant Illustrates the contrast with an Incident that came under his notice while his \ regiment lay Intrenched at Swakpp- J mund during the "German Southwest" campaign. One morning the men of the Union advanced posts saw approaching them from the desert three living skeletons, who staggered like drunken men as they groped their way blindly through the furnace of sand. A comrade lay helpless n mile or so behind, too far gone to walk. He was brought in later, unconscious, but still alive. The four heroes—captives In the hands of the Hun—had preferred the chances of death to the grim certainty of a cruel and galling captivity, and had managed to escape from their jnllcrs under cover of darkness. Practically without food and, for the most part, without water, they hnd traveled some hundreds of miles—from one; end of the vast territory to the other. Almost naked, the ice-cold winds of night had crippled them, hun-> ger had robbed them of their; strength, and thirst had all hut driven j them to madness. They had escaped j "by the skin of their teeth" from \ both vengeful Huneand prowling lion. | And an officious military policeman; greeted them on their arrival-In the!

Sam Jones has had the lurk of bad crops two or three years. Things have seemed against him. But he has been as brave as a Hon.

The zoological park of New York was established in 1866, and that of Chicago In 1868; but of the 83 cities of the United States reporting animal collections in 1916 only ten had begun such collections In 1890. One of the largest and most interesting gardens Is that of the New York Zoological society, which is a private corporation occupying about 155 acres of city-owned land In the Bronx gardens and Battery park. Of a total of 9,888 living creatures, of 1,381 different species, shown in the exhibits of this society on December 31, 1915, the mammals embraced 213 species; birds, 813; reptiles, 180; fishes, 140; amphibia, 14; and invertebrates, 21. The National Zoological park in Washington, under the direction of the Smithsonian institution, has a site of 160 acres. June 30,1915, the park contained 629 mammals of 151 different species, 696 birds of 185 species, and 72 reptiles of 22 sr^cles, making a total of L397 living creatures. •Us Again!"

There is, however, at least ;i<* regards the fishes of the Northern seas, a sure indication that betrays their age. It IS the otolites, or ear stones.

On April 1, new laws relating to the liquor traffic went into effect in the dominion of [Canada: The prohibition of the manufacture of all intoxicating lipuors and the prohibition of all transportation of intoxicating liquor into any part of Canada wherein the sale is illegal. Prohibitory laws are now in force in all the provinces of Canada except Quebec, where the law will become effective May 1, 1919. However, the larger part of this province is under prohibition by local legislation, and the manufacturers will thus find little market for their products. It will be recalled also that by orders in the council issued last December and January, the importation of intoxicating liquor was prohibited. The law prohibiting the manufacture of intoxicating liquor for tha whole dominion goaa into effect December 31,1918.

Flint—The teaching of German in the Flint public schools will be discontinued after the present semester* the school board has decided, in response to numerous protests received. Already text-books have been expurgated of considerable German propaganda by teachers, but it was thought advisable to finish the semester, in order that students might not be deprived of credits. Kalamazoo.—Second Lieutenant R. Van Ranney, member of the Grenadier guards and a well known Kalamazoo young man, has been killed in action according to word received by hi9 mother, Mrs. Frank M. Clark, from the war department. Ranney was in London the day war was declared and after many futile attempts to enlist, he changed his citizenship that he might get into the fray. Camp Custer.—It has developed that the intensive training given at the training camps haB developed what medical officers call an "irritable" heart. This is especially true of men who in civilian life were not injured to violent exercise. Medical officers hare been warned to watch for these cases and when located the victims will be placed in a company which takes its work more gradually. Caro — Andrew Anger, a farmer who Uvea near Watrousville, Tuscola county, who^e pro-German utterances have been resented, was called from his home by a party of Americans, who persuaded him to march barefooted for some distanced between the lines, cheer the president, kiss the flag, promise to donate to the Red Cross, boy Liberty bonds and concluded by shouting "To h— with the Kaiser," after which he was allowed to return to hit home.

Camp Custer.—That the entire 85tn division, made up of Michigan and Wisconsin troops, will be out of camp by August 1, was the statement of one of the staff officers.

THIRD LIBERTY LOAN A SUCCESS 8EVERAL MICHIGAN COUNTIE8 OVERSUBSCRIBE QUOTA FIR8T DAY. TO CALL 150,000 MEN IN APRIL First Quota of 8econd Draft to Be In Camp Before May 1. NATION FIRED WITH PATRIOTISM Anniversary of Country's Entrance In World War Celebrated With Fitting Demonstrations. Lansing—Michigan is going over the top in the third Liberty loan drive. Before the first day of the new loan campaign had ended Jackson, Ingham and Ionia counties in the lower peninsula had reported oversubscriptions totaling more than $500,000 in a combined quota of about $3,000,000. Jackson's had been taken before 10 o'clock Saturday morning; Ionia's had been pledged in advance by her bankers; Ingham's quota was snapped up without a bit of campaigning being done. Isabella county had subscribed practically its full quota of $261,000 before 5 o'clock Saturday night. Nottswa township, 98 per cent German families, took its full quota. Soldiers from Camp Custer aided in opening the drive in Battle Creek, and a number of other cities. In Lansing the chief of police appealed to the head of the state con* stabulary to help him keep American workmen from mobbing pro-Germans who might refuse to subscribe. One Russian was ducked in the Grand river for refusing to join a thrift club. In Ann Arbor the very first subscription entered was that of the Bethlehem German Evangelical Lutheran church. On the basis of returns from the cities, state loan committee officials declared that the state would easily over subscribe its qouta. Washington—One hundred and fifty thousand drafted men will be called out during April instead of 50,000, the quota originally determined upon for this month under the second draft. Orders to induct this number into the military service before May 1 have been issued by Provost Marshal General E. H. Crowder. This decision by. the general staff was a definite step in President Wilson's program for speeding up assistance to the Allies this year. Similar monthly calls for drafted men are plannedt it is understood. The rapidity with which drafted men are to be ordered into military service will depend upon movement of trained troops overseas, it is stated. With the 160,000 a month program obtaining, 1,350,000 men will be drafted by the end of the year. The number of men to be sent overseas this year, and the consequent 'number of men to be drafted, will b< regulated by three considerations: 1—Shipping facilities. 2—Available equipment. 3—The needs of the Allies. General Crowder stated that the draft machinery now is in shape to supply men as fast as needed. It is believed that in arriving at the 150,000 figure for April, the general staff has worked out a plan under whicB this number of men can be transported to Europe each month. In order that there may be no hitch in sending men to training camps, local draft boards are rushing physical examinations of registrants in class 1. Word also has gone forth to speed up all appeal cases. FORCE SHALL MAKE RIGHT THE LAW OF THE WORLD, WILSON PRESIDENT SAYS NATION W I L L FIGHT UNTIL AUTOCRATIC FOE HAS BEEN CAST (N T H E DIRT. WILLING TO DEAL WITH PEOPLE OF GERMANY, M) f WITH JUNKERS If Militarism Now Were Permitted to Remain Triumphant If Would Mean Ruin of American Ideals of Justice. WAR COST 9 BILLION FIRST YEAR One-barf of Sum Represents Loans t Allies and Will Be Repaid. Nation Responds Nobly. Washington—Throughout the United States communities observed the an* niversary of the nation's entrance into the war, and gave material evidence of their support 07 pledging millions of dollars to insure successful contin. nance of the struggle against Germany. While parades and public meetings were in progress in nearly every city, telegrams were- pouring into liberty loan headquarters at the treasury telling of towns which had exceeded their quotas in the first day of the four weeks* campaign, or even within the first hour. More than 150 had reported when the headquarters closed Saturday night. Sioux City, la* and Lynn, Mass., were the largest cities exceeding their allotments and thereby win- Washington—Nine billion dollars is the approximate cost to the United States of one year of war. More than one-half has gone In loans to Allies and will be repaid eventually; over one-third has been spent for the army and military establishment; one-tenth for the navy and one-fifteenth for shipbuilding. One-sixth of this big war cost has been raised by taxation and other ordinary sources of revenue, and the balance has come from sale of Liberty bonds and certificates of indebted - Enormous as these war expenditures may seem to a country wbose government in peace times costs between $700,000,000 and 1800,000,000, they are less than Great Britain's and are only about two-thirds of estimates made by officials less than a year ago. Government expenses now are running about $1,000,000,006 a month, with somewhat leas than'half going to Allies, who spend the greater part ning the right to fi> the honor flag of of their loans for war supplies in thia the third Liberty loan. J country Baltimore—President Wilson at 9 great Liberty Loan celebration here April 6, gave America's answer to the German drive on the western battlefront; to the renewed propaganda for a German made,peace, to all proposals to end the war before Germany is awakened from her dream of world dominion. The president's answer was: "Force, force to the utmost, force without stint or limit, the righteous and triumphant force which shall make right the law of the world, and cast every selfish dominion down in the dust." The speech was delivered before a grave audience in the Fifth regiment armory, where he was first named to be chief magistrate of the nation. 8ees New Soldiers March. A few hours before the president spoke, he had reviewed a division of citizen soldiers, called only a few months ago from the pursuits of peace; now transformed into fighting men to carry the ideals of America to the battlefields of Europe. At the moment 1,000,000 more of their kind all over the land were celebrating the opening of the third Liberty loan; and the orders for mobilizing the first of the great army of a second 1,000,000 was going out to the country. Those were some of the physical facts which backed his words, when after reviewing briefly the evidence that Germany seeks a peace for her her world dominion, the president declared : "I accept the challenge. I know you accept it. All the world shall know you accept it. It shall appear in the utter sacrifice and self forgetfulness with which we shall give all that we love and all that we have to redeem the world and make it fit for free men like ourselves to live in. Will Fight to Finish. "This'now is the meaning of what we do. Let everything that we say, my fellow countrymen, everything that we henceforth plan and accomplish, ring true to this response till the majesty and might of our concerted power shall fill the thought and utterly defeat the force of those who fount and misprize what we honor and hold dear. "Germany has once more said that force and force alone shall decide whether justice and peace shall reign in affairs of men; whether right as America conceives it or dominion as she conceives it shall determine the destinies of mankind. "There is therefore but one response possible from us; force, force to the utmost, force without stint or limit, the righteous force which shall make right the law of the world, and cast every selfish dominion in the dust" Warns of Russia's Fate. Warning anew that a triumph of arms for Germany means rain for all the ideals America has won and Uvea for, the president reiterated he waa willing to discuss at any time a fair, just and honest peace sincerely proposed—" a peace In which the strong and weak shall fare alike." "But the answer," said he, "when I proposed such a peace came from the German commanders in Russia and I cannot mistake the meaning of the answer. "Th - -njoying in Russia," the president declared, "a cheap triumph in which no brave or gallant nation can long take pride. A great people, helpless by their own act lies for the time at their mercy. Their fair 'professions are forgotten. They nowhere set up justice but everywhere impose their power and exploit everything for their own use and aggrandisement; and the peoples of conquered provinces are invited to be free under their dominion.

American* Face Great Duties in Providing Food Products and Aiding Our Soldiers and Our Allies in War. (By HAPSBURG LIEBE of the Vigilantes.) Deniocrury una Liberty are not always synonymous, perhaps*, but they mean the same to us now, certainly. A military autocracy, after more than forty years of thorough and cunning preparation, a great part of it by means of weapons of our owu invention, has thrust our Democracy and our Liberty Into the crucible to test it out, to see whether it would hold good. They did not believe It would hold good, those Prussian militarists; they do not believe It yet. We believe it will, but our belief has been made up heretofore largely of egotism and blindness. Democracy and Liberty, the world's with our owu. Is now undergoing the supreme test. Of course there Is dross, and It is coming to the top rapidly. There is inefficiency, mismanagement, grave mistakes that even our national leaders have made; there has been some graft, uo doubt; there has been some playing of politics; there has been profiteering, but all this 1s only the dross floating to the top of the crucible. We were, never a military nation, you know. The biggest of our mistakes, I think, was in our shipbuilding program, but we were never a shipbuilding nation, either. However, this dross is all being cleared away. Fully 60 per cent of the winning of this war depends-tipon us here at home. We have three great duties upon us now as we never had them upon us before—those of us who can grow food products must grow more than ever; we must all aid in the saving of foods, and especially wheat, meats, and sugar; and all of us who can, though It may necessitate some sacrifice, must buy these new Liberty bonds. Properly carried through, these three great duties will prove the overbalancing power in the winning of the war, beyond a doubt. The growing of great crops and the conservation of food, and the buying of Liberty bonds, quickly mean enough food for our soldiers and our allies, and enough ships to carry It.

This means you and not other people. You might as well come to it first as last. The war is unusual and we shall have to have unusual business to deal with It. - The gist of it is this: The nation has just so many hands and Just so much energy—Just so much raw material and ^labor. There are only 24 hours In the day and 385 days in the year. We can make only so many things in a given time with a given supply of time and material. If we make some things we cannot make others. If we put sugar into candy to stuff idle women we cannot have Jam to feed the soldiers. If we make autos for pleasure only, we cannot use that material, labor and energy for tanks and airplanes. If we burn the gasoline on Sundays, the boys in France cannot use it In battle. The whole truth is that we must stop business as usual. And—this is where you come in—you must stop spending as usual. Do It now. Put your money into gunpowder and not face powder; into tanks and not limousines; Into food for the trenches instead of spending it In hotels and restaurants. But you cannot boy directly for the army. The government most do 11 Give the government the money and BUY A LIBERTY BOND. Couldn't Figure It Out.

THE American boy who goes to war gives up the position which means so much to his future, or the little business which has just begun to show promise of success. He severs home ties; gives up home comforts; leaves behind parents, friends, wife or sweetheart He faces the probability of being obliged to take up life anew when he returns; of losing all the advantages which years of hard work have won for him. He faces the possibility of coming back incapacitated for earning a living, and of being dependent upon his friends or upon charity. He faces the possibility of never coming home at all. Facing these things, he goes to France to fight for us who remain safely at home — and when the moment comes for him to go over the top — he GOES! What will he think, how will he feel, if we complain because we are asked to make a few sacrifices for him — sacrifices so insignificant when compared with his? Show him that to invest in Liberty Bond* is not a SACRIFICE but a PRIVILEGE —an appreciation of his sacrifice! And When You Bvy-Buylf ThiB Space Paid For and Contributed By L. E. RICHARDS mflfflOEfflSMI! = OF ITS INDUSTRIES FOR WAR AND PEACE No Such Thing in the United States as Nonessential Plants. EVIL OF NEGATIVE ECONOMY. Preparation f o r After War CompetU , tlon Necessary — Give Munitions Shops and Military Supplies Prefer- ; ence, but Don't Cause Involuntary , Idleness, Which Will Demoralize i Prosperity. No factory should U± closed and no person should be deprived of work as long us the products can find a market unless other work can be found for the plant and the tollers, which is of more importance to the nation. There are no sue hthin^s as nonessentials in our industries. Some are needed more than others, but all serve some purpose, if no more than to please the eye. If work can be found for all in producing foods, clothing, munitions of war, ships and other things of prime necessity which help win the war let-Uu-m have precedence, but avoid causing involuntary idleness. To hold and increase our foreign trade the industries that supply goods forexport must not be disorganized or we shall be at the mercy of our competitors when peace is restored. England, wisest of nations in trade affairs, is doing all that is possible to maintain her foreign trade and supplant her enemies in international markets and while doing so Is looking after her own interests without taking others into account. This policy is not conflicting with her efforts to win the war. When a workman is idle the community loses his value as a producer and the cost of supporting him. It makes no difference whether he is fed by relatives or friends or in a public institution or by unorganized charity or by his spending part or all of his savings, the double loss is the same. Idleness is the worst waste. YVe must practice economy, but, as President McGarrah of the Mechanics and Metals Bank of New York says: "111 advised and Impetuous economy, meaning unemployment and closed factories, would be demoralizing. It is evident to every thinking man that business must be sustained and the conversion of industry carefully brought about whereby the nation's energies are transferred from the satisfaction of the needs of the army and navy." Some of our important industries have already been hurt by the negative economy which he criticises. We must not weaken our bodies and our finances by abstinence born of panic. If a man hoards a dollar or a bag of sugar it benefits no one while he holds it. If he lends a dollar or gives or sells the sugar to the government for the prosecution of the war he helps the nation. The hoarder is worse than the spendthrift We must economize, but we must neither hoard nor remain idle. Money wisely spent is not wasted; money spent for nonessentials is put to poor use, but remains in circulation. Money hoarded is valueless while in that condition. Let us keep money in circulation and labor at wo k. I-et us give preference to the requirements of the nation, but keep labor employed in some way until the government can find work for nil. Il is unlikely that the government can do that, so we shall have surplus labor, including an r.rmy of women, who can produce real wvulth for export and domestic trade. The panic which obsesses ihe minds of some omcials, if allowed to'spread, can do more harm Man an invading host.— Industrial Conservation, New York. INDUSTRIAL DESERTERS. The time has come when the man who leaves his post in American industrial life for technical enforcement of his prerogatives must be branded rte a traitorous industrial deserter. We, the people of the United States, through our government, are employing millions of men in the most exacting service that Involves risk of life itself for many and unimaginable hardships for all, and their maximum pay is 135 a month and board. National self aacrtflce and co-operation should be out watchword. Every man who does not help hlnderi the victory ot democrtc^ —Industrial Conservation, Hew Yoqft i Your Bond May Bring Him Home in Safety The supreme tragedies of war are not enacted on the battlefield, but in the home. Above the shouts of command and encouragement, the roar and shock of the great guns, and all the swelling tumult of battle whicn bear the husband and father to a hero's grave and a martyr's glory, there rise the weeping of the bereaved wife and*the cries of little children deprived of a father's love and care. American fathers are now on the battlefronts of France. Many must fall; how many depends upon us who remain safely at home. A single Liberty Bond will help to save a soldier's life, your soldiers life, and bring him home in safety to those who hold his life far more precious than their own. THIS SPACE PAID FOR AND CONTRIBUTED BY M. J, REASON r*« One Hundred and Forty-Two Years of Labor and Struggle TH E American people fought their first battles for liberty and the rights of selfgovernment one hundred and forty-two years ago. C A t that time, and for many yean thereafter, tV.eir 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 clearer as their eyes and minds slowly opened to its sisjiif.cance. Today, as a result of their struggles and their sacrifices, we possess and enjoy our priceless American institutions. % These institutions must be preserved. The structure so laboriously reared m these one hundred and forty-two years wiH be utterly destroyed if we do not spring to its defease with every atom of our energy and determination.

"How much was that?" "Eleven dollars." "I suppose the judge got $5 and the rest went to the jury, didn't it?" "I don't know, judge. I wasn't there •when they divided it."

'With great Re.spec yore "Frien liza rankln." Lavinia read the letter over and over again. She could make nothing of It but a jumble of words ail but illegibly written. Not a comma, not a period. She glanced at the name: llza rankin, and light came to her. The meaning of the letter became clear. Her throat contracted with an uncomfortable ache and tears hid the package In her lap at which she fumbled with unseeing eyes. It was roughly and Insecurely tied and she wondered how it had come intact through the mails. As the thought flashed through her mind a smaller package dropped upon the floor. With an exclamation she picked up yards of beautifully fine and intricate tatting. Examining the contents of the larger bundle, she found it contained several sets of table mats with crocheted borders and coarse, homespun Hnen centers. Her mind went back to the summer just past and the several summers before when she had helped spin the cloth from flax raised in the little clearing about the cabin. If she had been asked she could not have told how she had heard of the little home in the Tennessee mountains across the border from Virginia, but each summer thereafter had found her a visitor, and she and Eliza Rankin bad become fast friends. She had helped Eliza make her wedding dress; had returned to the mountain for the wedding, taking with her from her own store of furniture enough to make comfortable the tiny tworoom log house that was to be Eliza's future home. She had been with her when the child was born; had been with her when, dry-eyed, the griefstricken mother had laid the still little form In its crib for the last time, and it was ID the rough little cabin that Lavlnia came under the Influence that altered the course of her own life when she raised her head from her spinning and met the keen, questioning gray eyes of the mountain doctor who had stopped for a moment to ask for a drink of milk. She met him often in her wanderings about the mountain, but aside from the pleasure of an occasional meeting she had given him no thought until she raised her head that day and her eyes< were held by the dominant gray ones of the man standing in the doorway. She felt as if he was reading her very soul. Filled with resentment, the angry color flooded her face under his merciless gaze. Indignantly she straightened in her chair. Then, to her everlasting shame, she left the spinning wheel and walked directly into his arms. She left the mountain the next day. There was a long wait at Bristol before the arrival of the north-bound train, but almost as It came into sight Doctor Cochran crossed the platform to her side. "Eliza told me you had gone. Why?" he had asked abruptly. She had looked at him coolly, critically. A big, awkward but powerfully built man, coarsely clothed with his blue homespun shirt open at the throat and sleeves pushed carelessly back from bis muscular arms. Her very silence brought to him a realisation of her thought "OhI That's it! A mountain man is not good enough! You want the fine clothes, the suavity and convention to which you are accustomed. You can have them if yon want 1 do not doubt It But whoever he be be will never nave what you have given to the mountaineer." She had risen and faced him. "How dare yoo—" He had laughed roughly in Interruption. "Dare? I dare anything, my dear young lady, and I tell you plainly that to that half boor in Eliza Hankie's cabin you gave me what you win never rive another man, and that was your toot** a i d turaiff on bis hod he loft her aa the train pulled Into the stottoo. hint once, months later. He wrote that be had volunteered and mubt see her before he left for France. The note was unanswered. He did not come, and as the days passed she knew her day of reckoning was upon her; that she had let him go to his work thinking her heartless. It all cauie back as she looked at the work in her lap und as she let the beautiful tatting slip over her fingers her resolution was taken. Naturally she met opposition when she told her family she was going to the mountain for a brief stay, but she went on about the currying out of he* plan and blessed the aunt who left her a email legacy to do with as she would. Knowing that the railroads were congested by the movement of troops, she hired a motortruck to carry food and told the chauffeur she was going with him across the width of Virginia. His expression spoke volumes and when out of hearing uttered words not Intended for a woman's ears. She persuaded a married friend to accompany her. This she regretted later on, for the coid was intense and there was tire trouble. To her it meant delay, but her friend could see nothing In the trip but her own folly In yielding to Lavinia's wishes. "I will leave you at Hot Springs and go alone," Lavinia told her at last. "It was really too much to a«k of you." "I will keep on until we reach a railroad," Mrs. Howard answered shortly. "When we come to that bond with civilization I will leave you to your own devices. What on earth put such an Idea Into your head. Couldn't you have sent the things by freight?" "Eliza and the others need food, and this is the quickest way to get it to them," Lavinia answered. Fortunately her chauffeur was a Virginian and had come from the section of the state to which she was going. He had known the Ranklns and Wades. "We played together when we was kids," he told her. "It'll go hard with the women in the mountains with their men gone." For a moment he looked troubled. "I s'pose you wonder why a husky feller like me Is a stay-at- "home. I ain't no slacker. I has a wife an' five kids an' the orfercer tol' me to atay at home an' take kyar of 'em." Never In her life before had Lavinia been so conscious of the comforts of fire as when she entered the log cabin an hour later, stiff and shivering. But it wasn't much of a fire. Just a handful of sticks upon which Eliza threw a few pine cones tha* biased up at once. Standing before it, Lavinia looked about. There was but the one room. Side by side In one corner stood two beds covered with gay patchwork quilts. Four bright eyes peered at her from the farthest one. From the nearer came a slight moan. "I did not know anyone was sick, Eliza." "Llz wore jes' po'ly when I writ miss, honey. She give up las' nigh'. I put the chilrun in bed to keep warm. Moll is out tryin' to git wood. Miss, honey, I shorely think the Lord dun sent you." "There must be someone who can get wood for you," Lavinia said. "Where is Jake Fox? He is too old to be called." For a moment Eliza did not answer. "He's a-haulin' for money an' we alia dldn' have none." Lavinia opened her purse. "Give hlra this and tell him to hurry with a load." The mountain woman drew back. "I ain't beggin', honey." "Of course not. I expect you to pay it back. But now I am cold and hungry and we will talk about it after a while." and throwing aside her wraps, she went over to speak to Lizzie Crawford. For a week she watched beside that bed in the corner, resting between times In a big chair before the fire. At the end of that time as she was bending over the bed the door was thrown open and a hearty voice said: "I came back to take a look around before I left for France, Eliza; heard Lizzie was sick and came over to see what was the matter." The voice stopped short "You!" F o r . a second of time Lavinia thought she would suffocate with the beating of her heart then she said quietly: **I heard they were in trouble, so I came." The man's hand was not quite steady as he reached over and laid his fingers upon Lizzie's wrist "There is no fever. I think—" He caught sight of Lavinia's eyes and turned abruptly away. Her gaze followed him, then rotted upon the compass quilt the figure of which she began to trace absently with her finger. 8he had thought him In France, now that he was here there were things she most say to him and they would take courage. He Interrupted her thought "Come here," he said peremptorily. "I moot tee your eyes again. They gave mo your soul once. Convention and training hid them from sight I a a wondering if It was forever.** There was Just an Instant of pause, her eyes held bjr his aa she went toward him and again, as that first time, she walked directly into his E IN THE FARMER'S LIFE "Making a Living" Idea Has Developed into a "Money Making Fact" A few years ago—and not so many at that—most farmers were satisfied if they saw ahead of them the opportunity to make a fair living, a reasonable competence in their falling years, und an assurance of an existence lor their families. They worked bard, and tilled their acres with this end in view. Honest struggle, earnest effort and u true conception of upright manhood, together with the Increa.*- ing knowledge that upon the fruits of their endeavoi rested the structure of the world, whose people had to be fed and maintained. Economy in method, improved conditions of working, have added to the farmer's possibilities, and today instead of being a plodder for an existence, which his early training had bred into him, he has become the bulwark of the nation, and, as such, has become elevated to a position where his word and his work are recognized as the factors It was always intended they should be. He Is now the man of business—of big business. He has forced an appreciation of his work, and the true value has been placed upon it. The big men of the country today are the farmers, who, with business acumen and forensic forethought are able to tell you—from their books—what it costs to produce a bushel of wheat or a pound of wool. All of which Is intended to prove that farming Is a business, as much as banking or selling a suit of clothes. It is an Industrial business, with more certain profits than accompany any other line of trade. It is a manufacturing enterprise, devoid of any of the dangers that the frills of fashion's follies and desires force upon ordinary pursuits. Food is something that all must have and the farmer produces It The cheaper it can be produced the less will be the cost to the consumer. And this is one of the ehlef thoughts of the farmer. Within the memory of the ten-year-old boy there have been Improvements in machinery, changes In methods, scientific discoveries of chemicals as adapted to agriculture, all of which have lessened cost of production and made possible the cultivation of increased acres. In some parts these things have brought about more intensified agriculture, growing heavier crops on less acres. Improved machinery and demand for greater production have led another class in search of larger areas, where their-ability may cope with the growing of a greater number of bushels. That Is one of the reasons why Western Canada lands have recently come Into such demand. These, at from twenty to thirty dollars an acre, and producing the prodigious crops that are claimed for them, have attracted thousands of American settlers, while other thousands have gone out Into the lands In the Western states. But as to the Canada lands, there Is this to say of them, today they are cheap, and if they will yield sufficient in one year to pay the cost of the entire purchase, why should not there be a demand. The country is well settled, and settlement is Increasing. As evidence of the growth of the three Western Provinces Into whose territories the Canadian Government Invites settlers, recent reports show the following increases from 1913 to 1917 inclusive: Value of Field Crops 1913 191T Manitoba ...$64,557,000 $137,470,550 Saskatchewan 129.376.000 349,488.200 Alberta . . . . 46,712,000 176.96S.800 Total $240,645,000 $663,924,550 The total value of field crops for 1917 was $663,924,550, produced on lees than 59,000,000 acres of land. Further evidence of prosperity and progress Is found In the Government estimate of the value of farm lands, and increase In value since 1908: 1908 1916 Manitoba 27.30 32.03 Saskatchewan 20.40 23.07 Alberta 18.20 22,18 It will be observed that the average price of lands has not kept pace with their producing value. It Is therefore pointed out that the opportunities for the purchase of high-class land Is still within the reach of those with limited 'means. A good Idea of advancement In a country's progress may be obtained by a knowledge of what has been done In the production of cattle, and when rhese figures are studied tn coonecttoo with Western Canada, a country whose fame having been heralded aa a graingrowing country, giving the idea that that was what it woo moody adapted to, tt will he realised that there la there a vast storehouse of wealth awaiting those who choose to toko advantage of It Ie the throe io 1912 there were potato, miles other cattle, sheep and swine, four million head, while in 1917 the number was seven million. In 1901 the entire population was 419,512; in 1916 1,608,220. One marvels at the rapid progress of the United States during the nineteenth century. But America's opportunities for growth at the beginning of that century were uothing compared to the opportunities which are Canada's at the present time. The fact that Canada has as its next door neighbor a nation of over 100,000,- 000—the richest nation in the w o r l d - Is bound to have a stimulating effect on its progress. Already one sees signs of It on every hand. Canada not only lias the largest area of unoccupied, but fertile, land of any country, but this land is already made available by u network of railways. Cost of production of grain Is lower thun elsewhere, while the prices are on a basis of those of the United Sta tes.—Advertisement. In the Soup. A rookie was home on a furlough.

When Mr. Bowser entered his family drug store the other evening he found a middle-aged man dressed in a khaki uniform to show that he belonged to the army. The druggist saw that Mr. Bowser was working up a fatherly expression of face and was likely to have something to say, and he gave the soldier boy the wink. **So we have a recruit here?" aaid Mr. Bowser a minute later. "Yes," was the reply. **I am glad to see yoa, sir," continued Mr. Bowser. "I am glad to see you In that uniform. It shows, sir, that you love your country and are enrolled among patriots, Instead of skulking from place to place to keep out of the army. One would say, from reading the papers, that at least onehalf of the American nation -was composed of cravens. It did not used to be so In my time. We had trouble In keeping the young men out of the army Instead of getting them Into It." "So I have heard, sir," replied the soldier. "I want to give you some little advice, if you will take it kindly. Put your heart into the work." , "I have, sir." "Be ready for drill any time drill is ready for you/* "Yes, sir; I shall be." "The trouble with a raw recruit Is that he gets homesick almost Immediately he is in the army. Plght against it. You can conquer that as you conquer the foe." "I shall try my best, sir." "You may want to see your dear old mother, and have her pat you on the back, but you can't see her; and gulf and I slutll keep my temper. You are very kit»U. sir, to talk to me aa you do." "Oh, that's all right," replied Mr. Bowser, in his off-haud way. "1 wish that I could talk to a thousand of you raw recruits. It might save you much trouble. -"You have been uaed to lying In bed until nine or ten o'clock in the morning, aad then eomlxig dswn to find your coffee and toast and fried eggs and bacon all ready for you." "That's the way, sir." "All raw recruits are prone to nnd fault about their rattens," continued Mr. Bowser. "Bear this in mind and do not kick. It will do you no good if you do. You may smell the fried oysters cooking for your colonel, but remember the gulf. Uncle Sam intends to feed you well, but there will be times when circumstances prevent. If they deal out a ration of raw turnips to you, eat them and say nothing. Do not go wandering about camp and asking the other men if you are not entitled to butter, scrambled eggs, golden bacon, French fried potatoes and Java coffee. There Is always enough kickers about to start a rebellion if you speak encouraging words, and your dear old mother will hear that you have been shot as a mutineer instead of dying as a hero in battle." "You are very good, sir," said the soldier, as he winked at the druggist with his other eye. "I have eaten as many as 20 scrambled eggs at once, but I shall learn to curb my appetite. "It may happen," said Mr. Bowser, as he wiped a tear from his eyes, "that you will get a letter stating that your dear old mother Is dead of pneumonia. She got it by going out In a blizzard to bring In a handful of wood. Her last thought was of you. She gasped out: Oh, my son!' or something of that kind, and was off to that happy land where soldiers are never seen." "Yes, sir, I shall expect such a letter." "But do net let It shock you too much. If you weep over it, turn your back to the other boys or go off into the brush somewhere. Set you teeth hard together and do not give away." "That will be me, sir." "And now about a battle," continued Mr. Bowser, as he swelled out his chest. "Be on call at any moment. Take your place In the ranks and see "Keep Right on Until You Have Removed a Dozen." ff you make a good fight of it the feeling will soon wear off. Even the bravest men have been known to be homesick at times for the first few weeks." "Others have told me the same thing," said the soldier. "You may want to see the hens, the hogs, the sheep and the old spotted cow, but conquer the feeling. Tell yourself that you are in the army to stay until the foe is conquered. If you hear a- band playing 'Home, Sweet Home.' do not let your eyes fill with tears." "No, sir; I will keep my eye dry." "That's the way I like to hear a man talk. There's another thing, You will be under officers fresh from West Point They are great hands to boss and put on style. You must know there is a great gulf between officers and privates. You may be cleaning your rllle, and preparing to slay half a dozen of the foe, when an officer will come up to yon and call you a son of a sea cook, a skunk (n the brush and Iota of other hard names. He does not do tt to be mean, but it's only his way, you see. Do not eaaa back, bat smile aa yon look at htm. He will become ashamed of himself and walk away." "Yea, sir, I will do that/* replied me soldier. "I shall want to knock him down, but I know all about that that your rifle is loaded and the bayonet on tight You are going to charge the enemy. Do not be surprised if half your regiment la wiped out Pay no attention to groans and screams of the wounded, but press forward and give the foe your bayonet Strike hard and strike home. Do not be content with removing a single foe, but keep right on until you have removed a dozen. Then you can come back to camp and have something to brag of." "Yes, sir, I shall kill at least a dozen." "Perhaps you know something about soldiering V suggested Mr. Bowser, as he detected a faint smile on the soldier's face. "Well—wen—«r, I ought to, I think, as I have been 20 years In the regular army." Mr. Bowser had wasted his time. He stood with mouth open, while the soldier went out with a salute at the door, and then the druggist said: "Bowser, a few of us are trying to raise $100 for the Bed Cross fund. Will you pat your name down on this list for a $10 contribution r Aad Mr. Bowser wrote his name on the list, and handed over the $10 and went borne to keep so quiet the real of the evening that Mrs, Bowser wondered If be waa developing a case of appendicitis.

'With great Respec yore "Frien liza rankin." Lavinia read the letter over and over again. She could make nothing of it but a Jumble of words all but illegibly written. Not a comma, not a period. She glanced at the name : liza rankln, and light came to her. The meaning of the letter became clear. Her throat contracted with an uncomfortable ache and tears hid the package in her lap at which she fumbled with unseeing eyes. It was roughly and insecurely tied and she wondered how it had come intact through the mails. As the thought flashed through her mind a smaller package dropped upon the floor. With an exclamation she picked up yards of beautifully fine and Intricate tatting. Examining the contents of the larger bundle, she found it contained several sets of table mats with crocheted borders and coarse, homespun linen centers. Her mind went back to the summer just past and the several summers before when she had helped spin the cloth from flax raised In the little clearing about the cabin. If she had been asked she could not have told how she had heard of the little home in the Tennessee mountains across the border from Virginia, but each summer thereafter had found her a visitor, and she and Eliza Rankin had become fast friends. She had helped Eliza make her wedding dress; had returned to the mountain for the wedding, taking with her from her own store of furniture enough to make comfortable the tiny tworoom log house that was to be Eliza's future home. She had been with her when the child was bora; had been with her when, dry-eyed, the griefstricken mother had laid the still little form In Its crib for the last time, and It was In the rough little cabin that Lavinia came under the influence that altered the course of her own life when she raised her head from her spinning and met the keen, questioning gray eyes of the mountain doctor who had stopped for a moment to ask for a drink of milk. She met him often In her wanderings about the mountain, but abide from the pleasure of an occasional meeting she had given him no thought until she raised her head that day and her eyes, were held by the dominant gray ones of the man standing in the doorway. She felt as if he was reading her very soul. Filled with- resentment, the angry color flooded her face under his merciless gaze. Indignantly she straightened in her chair. Then, to her everlasting shame, she left the spinning wheel and walked directly into his arms. She left the mountain the next day. There was a long wait at Bristol before the arrival of the north-bound train, but almost as it came into sight Doctor Cochran crossed the platform to her side. "Eliza told me you had gone. Why?" he had asked abruptly. She had looked at hlra coolly, critically. A big, awkward but powerfully built man, coarsely clothed with his blue homespun shirt open at the throat and sleeves pushed carelessly back from bis muscular arms. Her very silence brought to him a realization of her thought. "Oh! That's it! A mountain man is not good enough! You want the fine clothes, the suavity and convention to which you are accustomed. Ton can have them if you w a n t I do not doubt i t But whoever he be be will never have what you have given to the mountaineer." She had risen and faced him. "How dare yon—" He had laughed roughly in Interruption. "Dare? I dare anything, my dear young lady, and I tell you plainly that In that half hour In Eliza Rankin's cabin you gave me what you will . never give another man, and that was your soul," and turning on his heel ho left her aa the train pulled into the station. She beard from him once, months later. He wrote that he had volunteered and must see her before he leit for France. The note was unanswered. H e did not come, and aa the days pouwed she knew her day of reckoning was upon her; that she had let him go to his work thinking her heartless. It ail cuuie back as she looked at the work in her lap and as she let the beautiful tatting slip over her fingers her resolution was taken. Naturally she met opposition when she told her family she was going to the mountain for a brief stay, but ah* went on about the carrying out of her plan and blessed the aunt who left her a small legacy to do with as she would. Knowing that the railroads were congested by the movement of troops, she hired a motortruck to carry food and told the chauffeur she was going with him across the width of Virginia. His expression spoke volumes and when out of hearing uttered words not intended for a woman's ears. She persuaded a married friend to accompany her. This she regretted later on, for the cold was intense and there was tire trouble. To her it meant delay, but her friend could see nothing in the trip but her own folly In jlelding to Lavinia's wishes. "I will leave you at Hot Springs and go alone," Lavinia told her at l a s t "It was really too much to ask of you." "I will keep on until we reach a railroad," Mrs. Howard answered shortly. "When we come to that bond with civilization I will leave you to your own devices. What on earth put such an Idea into your head. Couldn't you have sent the things by freight?" "Eliza and the others need food, and this is the quickest way to get it to them," Lavinia answered. Fortunately her chauffeur was a Virginian and had come from the section of the state to which she was going. He had known the Ranklns and Wades. "We played together when we was kids," he told her. "It'll go hard with the women In the mountains with their men gone." For a moment he looked troubled. "I s'pose you wonder why a husky feller like me is a stay-at- 'home. I ain't no slacker. I has a wife an* five kids an' the orfercer tol' me to stay at home an' take kyar of 'em." Never In her life before had Lavinia been so conscious of the comforts of fire as when she entered the log cabin an hour later, stiff and shivering. But it wasn't much of a Are, just a handful of sticks upon which Eliza threw a few pine cones tha* blazed up at once. Standing before it, Lavinia looked about. There was but the one room. Side by side in one corner stood two beds covered with gay patchwork quilts. Four bright eyes peered at her from the farthest one. From the nearer came a slight moan. "I did not know anyone was sick, Eliza." "Liz wore Jes' po'ly when I writ, miss, honey. She give up las' ntgh\ I put the chllrun in bed to keep warm. Moll is out trytn' to git wood. Miss, honey, I shorely think the Lord dun sent you." "There must be someone who can get wood for you," Lavinia said. "Where la Jake Fox? He is too old to be called." For a moment Eliza did not answer. "He's a-haulln' for money an' we alls dldn' have none." Lavinia opened her purse. "Give hlra this and tell him to hurry with a load." The mountain woman drew back. "I ain't beggln', honey." "Of course not. 1 expect you to pay it back. But now I am cold and hungry and we will talk about it after a while." and throwing aside her wraps, she went over to speak to Lizzie Crawford. For a week she watched beside that bed in the corner, resting between times In a big chair before the fire. At the end of that time as she w a s bending over the bed the door w a s thrown open and a hearty voice s a i d : "I came back to take a look around before I left for France, Eliza; heard Lizzie was sick and came over to see what was the matter." The voice stopped short. "You!" For . a second of time Lavinia thought she would suffocate with the beating of her heart then Rhe said quietly : *'I heard they were In trouble, so I came." The man's hand was not quite Steady as he reached over and laid his fingers upon Llzsle's w r i s t "There is no fever. I think—" He caught sight of Lavinia's eyes and turned abruptly away. Her gaze followed him, then rested upon the compass q u i l t the figure of which she began to trace absently with her finger. 8he had thought him in France, now that he was here there were things she must say to him and they would take courage. H e interrupted her thought "Come here," he said peremptorily. "I must see your eyes again. They gave me your soul once. Convention and training hid them from sight I am wondering If it was forever." There was just an Instant of pause, her eyes held by his as she went toward him and again, as that first time, she walked directly Into bis CHANGE IN THE FARMER'S LIFE u Making a Living" Idea Has Developed Into a "Money Making Fact" A few years ugo—and not so many at that—moat farmers were satisfied if they saw ahead of them the opportunity to make a fair living, a reasonable competence in their falling years, and an assurance of an existence for their families. They worked hard, and tilled their acres with this end iu view. Honest struggle, earnest effort and a true conception of upright manhood, together with the increasing knowledge that upou the fruits of their endeavor rested the structure of the world, whose people had to be fed and maintained. Economy In method, improved conditions of working, have added to the fanner's possibilities, and today instead of being a plodder for an existence, which his early training had bred into hiin, he has become the bulwark of the nation, and, as such, has become elevated to a position where his word and his work are recognized as the factors it was always intended they should be. He is now the man of business—of big business. He has forced an appreciation of his work, and the true value has been placed upon it. The big men of the country today are the farmers, who, with business acumen and forensic forethought are able to tell you—from their books—what it costs to produce a bushel of wheat or a pound of wool. All of which \» intended to prove that farming Is a business, as much as banking or selling a suit of clothes. It is an industrial business, with more certain profits than accompany any other line of trade. It is a manufacturing enterprise, devoid of any of the dangers that the frills of fashion's follies and desires force upon ordinary pursuits. Food is something that all must have and the farmer produces it. The cheaper it can be produced the less will be the cost to the consumer. And this is one of the ehief thoughts of the farmer. Within the memory of the ten-year-old boy there have been Improvements in machinery, changes In methods, scientific discoveries of chemicals as adapted to agriculture, all of which have lessened cost of production and made possible the cultivation of increased acres. In some partB these things have brought about more intensified agriculture, growing heavier crops on less acres. Improved machinery and demand for greater production have led another class In search of larger areas, where their-ability may cope with the growing of a greater number of bushels. That is one of the reasons why Western Canada lands have recently come Into such demand. These, at from twenty to thirty dollars an acre, and producing the prodigious crops that are claimed for them, have attracted thousands of American settlers, while other thousands have gone out Into the lands in the Western states. B u t as to the Canada lands, there Is this to say of them, today they are cheap, and If they will yield sufficient in one year to pay the cost of the entire purchase, why should not there be a demand. The country Is well settled, and settlement Is Increasing. As evidence of the growth of the three Western Provinces into whose territories the Canadian Government Invites settlers, recent reports show the following Increases from 1913 to 1917 Inclusive: Value of Field Crops 1913 1917 Manitoba . . . $ 6 4 , 5 5 7 , 0 0 0 $137.470.550 Saskatchewan 129,376,000 349.438.200 Alberta . . . . 46,712.000 176,965,800 Total $240,645,000 $663,924,550 The total value of field crops for 1917 was $663,924,550, produced on less than 59,000,000 acres of land. ' Further evidence of prosperity and progress Is found in the Government estimate of the value of farm lands, and Increase In value since 1908: 1908 1916 Manitoba 27.30 32.03 Saskatchewan 20.40 23.07 Alberta 18.20 22.18 It will be observed that the average price of lands has not kept pace with their producing value. It Is therefore pointed out that the opportunities for the purchase of high-class land is still within the reach of those with limited means. A good idea of advancement In a country's progress may be obtained by a knowledge of what has been done In the production of cattle, and when these figures are studied in connection with Western Canada, a country whose fame having been heralded as a graingrowing country, giving the idea that that was what It was mostly adapted te, it will be realised that there is there a vast storehouse of wealth awaiting those who choose to take advantage of i t l a the three provinces in 1912 there were horses, milch other cattle, sheep and swine, four million head, while in 1917 the number was seven million. Iu 1901 the entire population was 419,512; in 1910 1,008,220. One marvels at the rapid progress of the United States during the nineteenth century. But America's opportunities for growth at the beginning of that century were nothing compared to the opportunities which are Canada's at the present time. The fact that Canada has aa its next door neighbor a nation of over 100,000,- 000—the richest nation in the w o r l d - is bound to have a stimulating effect ou its progress. Already one sees signs of it on every hand. Canada not only has the largest area of unoccupied, but fertile, land of any country, but this land is already made available by a network of railways. Cost of production of grain Is lower than elsewhere, while the prices are on a basis of those of the United States.—Advertisement. in the Soup. A rookie was home on a furlough.

When Mr. Bowser entered his family drug store the other evening he found a middle-aged man dressed In a khaki uniform to show that he belonged to the army. The druggist saw that Mr. Bowser was working up a fatherly expression of face and was likely to have something to say, and he gave the soldier boy the wink. "So we have a recruit here?" said Mr. Bowser a minute later. "Yes," was the reply. MI am glad to see you, sir," continued Mr. Bowser. "I am glad to see you In that uniform. It shows, sir, that you love your country and are enrolled among patriots, Instead of skulking from place to place to keep out of the army. One would say, from reading the papers, that at least one* half of the American nation w a s composed of cravens. It did not used to be so in my time. We had trouble in keeping the young men out of the army Instead of getting them Into It." "So I have heard, air," replied the soldier. "I want to give you some little advice, if you will take it kindly. Put your heart into the work." / "I have, sir." "Be ready for drill any time drill ts ready for you." "Yes, sir; I shall be." "The trouble with a raw recruit Is that he gets homesick almost Immediately he Is in the army. Fight against It. You can conquer that as you conquer the foe." "I shall try my best, sir." "You may want to see your dear old mother, and have hec pat you on the back, but you can't see her; and "gulf and T shall kevp my temper. You are very kind, sir, to talk lo me aa you do." "Oh, that's till right," replied Mr. Bowser, in his off-hand way. "1 wish that I could talk to u thousand of you raw recruits. It might save you much trouble. "You have been used to lying In bed until nine or ten o'clock In the morning, and thea coming down to find your coffee and toast and fried eggs and bacon all ready for you." "That's the way, sir." "All r a « recruits are prone to find fault about their rations," continued Mr. Bowser. "Bear this In mind and do not kick. It will do you no good If you do. You may einel} the fried oysters cooking for your colonel, but remember the gulf. Uncle Sam Intends to feed y o u well, but there will be times when circumstances prevent. If they deal out a ration of raw turnips to you, eat them and say nothing. Do not go wandering about camp and asking the other men if you are not entitled to butter, scrambled eggs, golden bacon, French fried potatoes and Java coffee. There is always enough kickers about to start a rebellion if you speak encouraging words, and your dear old mother will hear that you have been shot as a mutineer instead of dying as a hero In battle." "You are very good, sir," said the soldier, as he winked at the druggist with his other eye. "I have eaten as many as 20 scrambled eggs at once, but I shall learn to curb my appetite. "It may happen," said Mr. Bowser, as he wiped a tear from his eyes, "that you will get a letter stating that your dear old mother Is dead of pneumonia. She got it by going out In a blizzard to bring In a handful of wood. Her last thought w a s of you. She gasped out: 'Oh, my son!' or something of that kind, and was off to that happy land where soldiers are never seen." "Yes, sir, I shall expect such a letter." "But do not let it shock you too much. If you weep over it, turn your back to the otjier boys or go off Into the brush somewhere. Set you teeth hard together and do not give away." "That will be me, sir." "And now about a battle," continued Mr. Bowser, as he swelled out his chest. "Be on call at any moment. Take your place In the ranks and see "Keep Right on Until You Have Removed a Dozen." ff you make a good fight of It the feeling will soon wear off. Even the bravest men have been known to be homesick at times for the first f e w weeks." "Others have told me the same thing," said the soldier. "You may want to see the hens, the hogs, the sheep and the old spotted cow, but conquer the feeling. Tell yourself that you are in the army t o stay until the foe la conquered.

BUY LIBERTY BONDS TO VERY LIMIT OF RESOURCES Everyone Should Oive the Boys "Ovei There" the Financial Support Needed for Victory. An article recently published in som< papers of the central West gave an or roneou>j iniprension as to the part the fanner should play In financing th« great struggle for liberty and world freedom. It suggested that the farinei should not borrow money with which to buy Liberty bonds—that he should not "inconvenience himself" in lending financial support at this critical Unit in the history of the nation. This is no time to think of Inconvenience at home. If inconvenience it to be the basis of thought, let the American farmer consider first the In convenience of the boys on the firing line in France. At this particular time it Is up to all Americans to make sacrifices. This Is no time to think of comfortable financial circumstances and freedom from inconvenience. The government is at a great deal of ln« convenience. If the boys at the blazing, thunderous front are standing in muddy trenches dodging shell splinters and Hun bullets and facing the terrible 'gas attacks, there Is no reason why the farmer at home should not extend himself to help out. Don't think of inconvenience. Think of the inconvenience and danger of your son, or your neighbor's son, at the front, and buy Liberty bonds to the limit. Stretch your financial system to the breaking point, if need be, to support your government and the boys who are actually engaged in the business of fighting your fight. If you haven't the money at hand to do your full duty toward the great cause, go out and borrow it from your bank—borrow so that you may buy bonds "until it hurts." Your financial support m&y be n measure of your practical patriotism—and the nation needs practical patriots at this critical peri'>d. Don't think of inconvenience—think only of success.

The preparatory stage of the war has passed for this country, says Mr. Scott, and the time has arrived when every resource, human and material must be placed- at the disposal of the government. "If it can be said there has been a preliminary stage of our share in the war it is over now," says the government's Industrial director. "Our troops are already In France, and we have begun the actual raising of a huge army here at home to be sent abroad when the time Is ripe. We have passed the period of expectation.

READ •i'te m K ft -nm j < f l f l p *? x*': ^1¾¾^ ^ PINCKNEY DISPATCH €i OVER THE TOP W By An American Arthur Guy Empey SoldierWhoWent Machine Gunner, Serving in France Oopmihi 1917, »y Artkmr Owj EMPEY GETS INTO THE FRONT LINE TRENCH—AND WISHES HE WERE BACK IN JERSEY CITY. 8ynop«ls,—Fired by the sinking of the Lusitanla, with the loss of American lives, Arthur Guy Empey, an American living in Jersey City, goes to England and enlists as a private in the British army. After a short experience as a recruiting officer in London, he Is sent to training quarters in France, where he first hears the sound of big guns and makes the acquaintance of *'cooties." CHAPTER II.—Continued. The greatest shock a recruit gets fcken he arrives at his battalion in France Is to see the men engaging in a "cootie" hunt With an air of contempt and disgust he avoids the company of the older men, until a couple of days later, in a torment of Itching, he also has to resort to a shirt hunt, or spend many a sleepless night of misery, During these hunts there are lots of pertinent remarks bandied back and forth among the explorers, such as, "Say, Bill, I'll swap you two little ones for a big one," or, 'Tve got a black one here that looks like Kaiser Bill." One sunny day in the front-line trench* I saw three officers sitting outside of 'their dugout ("cooties" are no respecters of rank; I have even noticed a suspicious uneasiness about a certain well-known general), one of them was ia major, two of them were exploring their shirts, paying no attention to the occasional shells which passed overhead. The major was writing a letter; every now and then he would lay aside* (his writing-pad, search his shirt for a few minutes, get an inspiration, and then resume writing. At last he finished his letter and gave it to his "runner." I was curious to see whether he was writing to an Insect firm, so when the runner passed me I engaged him lln conversation and got a glimpse at the address on the envelope. It waa addressed to Miss Alice Somebody, in London. The "runner" informed me that Miss Somebody was the major's sweetheart and that he wrote to her every day. Just imagine it, writing a love letter during a "cootie" hunt; but such is the creed of the trenches. CHAPTER III. I Go to Church. Upon enlistment we had identity disks issued to us. Those were small disks of red fiber worn around the neck by means of a string. Most of the Tommies also used a little metal disk which they wore around the left wrist by means of a chain. They had previously figured it out that if their heads were blown off, the disk on the left wrist would Identify them. If they lost their left arm the disk around the neck would serve the purpose, but if their head and" left arm were blown off, no one would care who they were, so It did not matter. On one side of the^L dJiBk was inscribed your rank, name, number and battalion, while on the other was stamped your religion. C, of E„ meaning Church of England ; R. C., Roman Catholic; W., Wesifeyan; P., Presbyterian; but If yon happened to be an atheist they left it blank, and just handed you a pick and shovel. On my disk was stamped C. of E. This Is how I got It: The lieutenant who enlisted me asked my religion. ;I was not sure of the religion of thfc British army, so I answered, "Oh, any old thing," and he promptly put down C. of E. Now, just imagine my hard luck. Out of five religions I was unlucky enough to pick the only one where church parade was compulsory I The next morning was Sunday. I was sitting in the billet writing home to my sister telling her of my wonderful exploits while under fire—all recruits do this. The sergeant major put his head in the door of the billet and shouted: "C. of E. outside for church parade!" I kept on writing. Turning to me, In a loud voice, he asked, "Empey, aren't you C. of E.?" I answered, "Yep." In an angry tone, he commanded, "Don't you 'yep' me. Say, 'Yes, sergeant major."" "I did so. Somewhat mollified, he ordered, "Outside for church parade." I looked up and answered, "I am not going to church this morning." He said, "Oh, yes, you are!" I answered, "Oh, no, I'm notT—But I went. We lined up outside with rifles and bayonets, 120 rounds of ammunition, wearing our tin hats, and the march to church began. After marching about five kilos, we turned off the road into an open field. At one end of this field the chaplain was standing. In a limber. We formed a semicircle around him. Overhead there was a black speck circling round and round In the sky. This was a German Fokker. The chaplain had a book In his left hand—left eye on the book—right eye on the airplane. We Tommies were lucky, we had no books, so had both eyes on the airplane. After church parade we were marched back to our billets, and played football all afternoon. CHAPTER IV. "Into the Trench." The next morning the draft was Inspected by our general, and we were assigned to different companies. The boys in the brigade had nicknamed this general Old Pepper, and he certainly earned the sobriquet. I was assigned to B company with another American named Stewart For the next ten days we "rested," repairing roads for the Frenchles, drilling, and digging bombing trenches. One morning we were informed that we were going up the line, and our march began. It took us three days to reach reserve billets—each day's march bringing the sound of the guns nearer and nearer. At night way off in the distance we could see their flashes, which lighted up the sky with a red glare. Against the horizon we could see numerous observation balloons or "sausages" as they are called. On the afternoon of the third day's march I witnessed my first airplane being shelled. A thrill ran through me and I gazed in awe. The airplane was # : r J?.- • •'.-V fSWr,.' making wide circles in the air, while little puffs of white smoke were bursting air around It These puffs appeared like tiny balls of cotton while after «ach burst could be beard a dull "plop." The sergeant of my platoon informed us that it was a German airplane and I wondered how he could tell from such a distance because the plane seemed tike a little black speck In the sky. I expressed my doubt as to whether it was English, French or German. With a look of contempt he further informed us that the allied antiaircraft shells when exploding emitted white smoke while the German shells gave forth black smoke, and, as he expressed It, "It must be an Allemand because our pom-poms are shelling, and I know our batteries are not off their bally nappers aad are certainly not strafelng our own planes, and another piece of advice—don't chuck your weight about until you've been up the line and learnt something." I Immediately quit "chucking my weight about" from that time on. Just before reaching reserve billets we were marching along, laughing, and singing one of Tommy's trench ditties: I want to go home, I want to so home, I 'don't want to go to the trenches no more Where sausages and whizz-bang's are galore. Take m© over the sea, Where the Allemand can't get at me. Oh, my, I don't want to die. I want to go homer-" when overhead came a "swish" through the air, rapidly followed by three others. Then about two hundred yards to our left in a large field, four columns of black earth and smoke rose into the air, and the ground trembled from the sky uud we could hear the fragment! slapping the ground above us on our right und left. Then a Fritz would traverse back and forth with his "typewriter" or machine gun. The bullets made a sharp cracking uolse overhead. The boy In front of me named Prentice crumpled up without a word. A piece of shell hud goue through his shrapuel-proof helmet. I felt sick and weak. In about thirty minutes we reached the front line. It waa dark as pitch. Every now and then a German star shell would pierce the blackness out in front with lta silvery light. I was trembling all over, and felt very lonely and afraid. All orders were given in whispers. The company we relieved filed past us and disappeared into the blackness of the communication trench leading to the rear. As they passed us, they whispered, "The best o' luck mates." I sat on the fire step of the trench with the rest of the men. In each traverse two of the older men had b*V> put on guard with their heads sticking over the top, and with their eyes trying to pierce the blackness in "No Man's Land." In this trench rhere were only two dugouts, and these were used by Lewis and Vlckers machine gunners, so It was the fire step for ours. Pretty Boon It started to rain. We put on our "macks," but they were not much protection. The rain trickled down our backs, and it was not long before we were wet and cold. How I passed that night I will never know, but without any unusual occurrence, dawn arrived. The word "stand down" was passed along the line, and the sentries got down off the fire step. Pretty soon the rum Issue came along, and it was a 1 Godsend. It warmed our chilled bodies and put new life Into us. Then from the communication trenches came dixies or Iron pots, filled with steaming tea, which had two wooden stakes through their handles, and were carried by two men. I filled my canteen and drank the hot tea without taking it from my lips. It was not long before I was asleep in the mud on the fire step. My ambition had been attained! I was in a front-line trench on the western front, and oh, how I wl&hed I were back in Jersey City. Empey takes his first turn on the firing step of the trench while the machine gun bullets whiz over his head. He soon learns why Tommy has adopted the motto, "If you're golag to get it, you'll get It, so nevtr worry." Don't miaa the next Installment '" INTERN-V. :;)NAi. _>N£w3^tRVfCf. A Bomb Proof. report—the explosion of four German five-nine's, or "eoalboxes." A sharp whistle blast, immediately followed by two short ones, rang out from the head of our column. This was to take up "artillery formation." We divided into small squads and went into the fields on the right and left of the road, and crouched on the ground. No other shells followed this salvo. It waa our first baptism by shell fire. Prom the waist up I was all enthusiasm, but from there down, everything was missing. I thought I should die with fright After awhile, we reformed Into columns of fours, and proceeded on our way. About five that night we reached the ruined village of H , and I got my first sight of the awful destruction caused by German Kultur. Marching down the main street we came to the heart of the village, and took up quarters In ahellproof cellars (shellproof until hit by a shell). Shells were constantly whistling over the village and bursting in onr rear, searching for oar artillery. These cellars were cold, damp and smelly, and overran with large r a t s - big black fellows. Host of the Tommies slept with their overcoats over their faces. I did not *In the middle of the night I woke up In terror. The cold, clammy feet of a rat had passed over my face.

NEW AND GREATER THINGS Possibility Ever Open to Mankind ar the Periods Dividing Life Are Successively Crossed. The poetry of all growing life consists in carrying an oldness into a newness, a past into a future, always. So only can our days possibly be bound "each to each by natural piety." I would not for the world think that 20 years hence I should have ceased to see the things which I see now, nnd love them still. It would make life wearisome beyond expression if I thought that 20 years hence I should see them Just as I see them now, and love them with no deeper love because of other visions of their lovableness. And so there comes this deep and simple rule of any man as he crosses the line dividing one period of his life from another, the same rule which he may use also as he passes through any critical occurrence of his life. Make it a time In which you shall realize your faith, und HISO in which you shall expect of your faith new and greater things. Take what you believe and are, and hold it in your hand with a new firmness as you go forward; but look on it with continual and confident expectation to see it open into something greater and truer.—Phillips Brooks.

PUTNAM DEMOCRATIC and countermarohed through the streets. After a fine dinner, served by the board of commerce in their hall, the boys rested and at 3:30 gave an exhibition of real soldiery at the opera house. This exhibtion consisted of the various evolutions, setting up ex ercises, signal drills, with buzzers, flags, waving arms, etc. accompanied by a lectnre by one of the officers. Then a demonstration of machine gaa.drill, setting up and taking down, loading and firing was accomplished, and commanded the most intense interest of the large audienee. At its close the machine gun company went through their whole drill blindfolded, showing that they could be efficient on the darkest night, and elicited cheer after from the audience. Not the least part of the entertainment was the music rendered by the 338th regimental band composed of a band master, C. Sibley, proprietor of the Pinckney Dispatch, and about fifty other good musicans. They interspersed their fine music with the various drills and exercises and were encorad [many times by the delighted audience. In the evening the drills and exhibitions were repeated after which "Sib" had a short leave of absence which oportunity he improved by taking the first car to Flint where he had a very pressing engagement.

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 60 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 root, Stone root, Black Cherry bark—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.

Clothes Economy Fashion's Problem New York.--Women are of many mlnds concerning clothes. Some Insist thai they will have everything made In Uie house, giving the seamstresses a cliuuce to live; that they will study the best fashions for lusplraUoau.1 work in their own sewing rooms. Others Insist that they will spend thin spring altering clothes that are almost as good as new, while others say that It Is"patriotic to spend. It Is quite well, observes a prominent fashion writer, that there are segments of differing thought. The continent is so full of women that they can group themselves into thousands of units, each with but a single purpose, and everybody will be benefited. Every woman does not see economy In the same way. It would be foolish therefore, to preach the same sermon to the mass. There is no doubt that several thousands of women are debating, with intelligence and with a stimulating effort at sacrifice, this question of spring costumery; but, as far ax the prophet can see into the future, business will not suffer by this discussion. Skirts Very Narrow.

It belongs to an oriental gown, which hat a net tunic caught at one tide and embroldered In gold. The satin skirt Is edged with monkey-fur fringe. The acarf is of currant-colored tulle. out. Fortunately, the alteration from a wide to a narrow silhouette Is mastered even by those who do not claim to be experts. The seams of a tailored skirt, for Instance, are merely ripped upward from the bottom and taken In as a continuation of the straight line from the hips. The hem of frocks cannot be handled in so simple a way; but, fortunately for the economical woman, or the one whose patriotism has made her think that she should be economical in this question of apparel, the French have handed us out in a generous manner two of three very clever tricks that will turn the old Into the new. One of them is the holding in of a slightly full skirt by a loose bund be- BEAUTY OF ORGANDIE BLOUSE Garment la Usually Trimmed With Plcoted Ruffles of Self Material, Finished with Touch of Ribbon. The organdie blouses of the smock variety are lovely enough to have stepped from the porticoes and leafy reranda of a Southern home. They are feminine, indeed, as Dickens' heroines, and perhaps a little bit leas infirm. AM a rnle they are trimmed with plcoted ruffle* of self material and are flnlabed with a touch of ribbon. Among thoee noted recently was one In a pencil shade of organdie with a rolling collar of the same material bordered by plcoted ruffles, tiny, and perhaps six In nnmber. The sleeves, which were rather tight, terminated in a bellshaped cuff, also bordered by the plcoted ruffles, and at the top of these enffs flnttered out * bit of narrow groegrain ribbon tn French bine, a note repeated In the tie of the collar. Another organdie blouse cornea in delicate blue and here the plcoted ruffles offer an opportunity for color. These are of orchid, which deepena In low the knees, finishing in u bow at the side. Another trick Is the gathering In of the fullness at the side of u skirt to a straight, embroidered baud, which is strongly reminiscent of the first hobble skirts. The women in the sewing room finds delLght in the fact that fullness is not taboo. She realizes that she can have whatever material she desires In a skirt If It does not flare away from the hips or the knees. What the French call the "jupe tonneuu" has a certain popularity, and the woman who owns a skirt of this kind (with its pannier effect at the sides, achieved through umbrella folds, and its close, narrow hem) may leave It as it is. It satisfies the appetite of fashion todav. The advent of the short sleeve in frocks, blouses, jackets and even top coats is startling to the American mind. We invented the elbow sleeve and forced it upon Paris. The word "invent" is, of course, a bad one to use in fashions, because everything has been, and therefore, everything is merely "revived." When the elbow sleeve was co-sldered by Paris as an American fashion projected through the demand for convenience, it was looked upon by the ultra-smart French designer as part and parcel of that work-a-day costumery which the Americans demanded and wijh which the European elegante would have nothing to do. We were called a working people. After a while Europe as well as America adopted the short sleeve, and those in this country who were fastidious begun to side with the French in their belief that the fashion was in elegant. For three years we witnessed streets filled with girls who wore elbow sleeves in separate white blouses, with Dutch necks,,no collars, no gloves, and separate skirts. That was an ugly day in costumery. Let us hope that It will not be revived, although there Is every evidence that the seeds of this evil have already been sown. But these short sleeves, which were worn In the Dlrectolre with every kind of gown and which were practically covered by rare old cashmere shawls, are not the only short ones that this spring has produced. We are evidently in for a reign of abreviated arm coverings, Inspiration for which has been gotten from all the centuries. The Surplice Movement Wins. Another change in the direction of fabrics across the body has been made by the French, and to follow it will require ingenious alterations on the part of the American woman. Evidently there is an Idea that the fewer the buttons the better the frock. We have gone back to the time when strings held fabrics together and the cloth was cut In such a way that It remained where It was placed on the body. Possibly It would be more comprehensive to put the whole thing into the statement that the more we are wrapped across the body the better dressed we are today. This movement of fahric finds Its most commonplace exploitation In the surplice bodice or j a c k e t Afternoon gowns and the most elaborate evening frocks have bodices that are merely elongated scarfs with annhotee. They wrap around the figure at the waist* line and the back, front or sides. Separate surplice bodices are not considered toq ignoble to be attached to a brilliant evening skirt. When the latter is of diaphanous and frivolous fabric the bodice may be of satin, brocade or tissue, and when it finishes Its bias movement about the figure It Is held at the side with a great gold rose, (Copyright, 1918. by the McCture Newspaper Syndicate.) tint when it is used for neck ribbons and for the wide zouave sasH of satin. Buttoned Gaiters. It Is lucky for the shoe dealers that buttoned gaiters have been established, f i r pretty pumps go right on being popular and left-over summer pumps do not go back Into the stockroom to make way for boots and shoes of more traditional winter type. Women love the gaiter and pump combination, for not only are the slim, dainty pumps most becoming to the feet, but it Is easy to slip off the buttoned gaiter when one comes indoors, leaving the foot comfortably and appropriately clothed in a high-heeled pump. Novertlea in Gloves. Some recently arrived gloves from Paris are of gray suede with pipings of white suede and embroidery In mauve and white. Another pair is of white glace kid with purple embroidery on the backs and a -turned down purple velvet cuff reaching almost to the fingers. Even more lively are tan suede gloves with embroidery and piping la red. E IN THE FARMER'S LIFE "Making a Living" Idea Has Developed Into a "Money Making Fact." A few years ago—and not so many at that—most farmers were satisfied If they saw ahead of them the opportunity to make a fair living, a reasonable competence in their fulling years, und an assurance of an existence for their families. They worked hard, and tilled their acres with this end in view. Honest struggle, earnest effort and u true conception of upright manhood, together with the increasing knowledge that upon the fruits of their endeavor rested the structure of the world, whose people had to be fed and maintained. Economy in method, improved conditions of working, have added to the farmer's possibilities, and today instead of being a plodder for an existence, which his early training had bred into him, he has become the bulwark of the nation, and, as such, has become elevated to a position where his word and his work are recognized as the factors it was always intended they should be. He is now the man of business—of big business. He has forced an appreciation of his work, and the true value has been placed upon it. The big men of the country today are the farmers, who, with business acumen and forensic forethought are able to tell you—from their books—what it costs to produce a bushel of Wheat or a ponnd of wool. Ail of which is intended to prove that farming is a business, as much as banking or selling a suit of clothes. It Is an industrial business,, with more certain profits than accompany any other line of trade. It is a manufacturing enterprise, devoid of any of the dangers that the frills of fashion's follies and desires force upon ordinary pursuits. Food is something that all must have and the farmer produces It. The cheaper It can be produced the less will be the cost to the consumer. And this Is one of the chief thoughts of the farmer. Within the memory of the ten-year-old boy there have been Improvements In machinery, changes In methods, scientific discoveries of chemicals as adapted to agriculture, all of which have lessened cost of production and made possible the cultivation of increased acres. In some parts these things have brought about more Intensified agriculture, growing heavier crops on less acres. Improved machinery and demand for greater production have led another class In search of larger areas, where their ability may cope with the growing of a greater number of bushels. That Is one of the reasons why Western Canada lands have recently come Into such demand. These, at from twenty to thirty dollars an acre, and producing the prodigious crops that are claimed for them, have attracted thousands of American settlers, while other thousands have gone out Into the lands ID the Western states. But, as to the Canada lands, there Is this to say of them, today they are cheap, and If they will yield sufficient in one year to pay the cost of the entire purchase, why should not there be a demand. The country is well settled, and settlement Is Increasing. As evidence of the growth of the three Western Provinces Into whose territories the Canadian Government Invites settlers, recent, reports show the following increases from 1913 to 1917 Inclusive: Value of Field Crops 1913 1917 Manitoba ...$64,557,000 $137,470,550 Saskatchewan 129,376,000 349.488.200 Alberta 46,712,000 176.905,800 Total $240,645,000 $663,924,550 The total value of field crops for 1917 was $663,924,550, produced on less than 59.000,000 acres of land. Further evidence of prosperity and progress is found in the Government estimate of the value of farm lands, and Increase tn value since 1908: 1908 1916 Manitoba 27.30 32.03 Saskatchewan 20.40 23.07 Alberta 18J20 22.18 It will be observed that the average price of lands has not kept pace with their producing value. It is therefore pointed out that the opportunities for the purchase of high-class land is still within the reach of those with limited means. A good Idea of advancement In a country's progress may be obtained by a knowledge of what has been, done tn the production of cnttle, and when these figures are studied In connection with Western Canada, a country whose fame having been heralded as a graingrowing country, giving the idea that that was what it was mostly adapted to, It -vill be realized that there Is there a vast storehouse of wealth awaiting those who choose to take advantage of it. In the three provinces In 1912 there were—horses, milch cows, other cattle, sheep and swine, four million head, while in 1917 the number was seven million. In 1901 the entire population was 419,512; In 191« 1,0U8,220. One marvels at the rapid progress of the United States during the nineteenth century. But America's opportunities for growth at the beginning of that century were nothing compared to the opportunities which are Canadu's at the present time. The fact that Canada has as its next door neighbor a .nation of over 100,000,- 000—the richest nation in the world— is bound to have a stimulating effect on its progress. Already one sees signs of it on every hand. Canada not only has the largest area of unoccupied, but fertile, land of any country, but this land is already made available by a network of railways. Cost of production of grain is lower than elsewhere, while the prices are on a basis of those of the United, States.—Advertisement. In the Soup. A rookie was home on a furlough.

EARLY AMBER IS THE BEST Is Early Maturing Variety and So is Most Suited to Michigan Climatic Conditions. From Department of Farm Crops Michigan Agricultural College. East Lansing, Mich.—One of the many interesting minor effects of the war upon Michigan agriculture which tn the southern and central counties of the state appears to be quite general, is a growing demand among fanners for sorghum seed. This demand has already assumed such unprecedented proportions that many seedmen are forecasting that if It continues, as now seems not unlikely, the visible (April) supply will all of It be melted away long before the planting season arrives. Sorghum, as a crop both for forage and sirup-making is, however, by no means a new one in Michigan. There was a time not so long ago in fact when the sorghum press, where the juice was squeezed out of the cane, was just as common a feature In Michigan's rural communities as the cider mill—and for that matter there are still some sections where farmers raise sorghum to supply sweets for the family table. But there will be many more farms upon which this will be done this season, for with sugar dally growing scarcer and commanding a price, which compels the utmost economy, corn sorghum sirup will find a /welcome place on the family table, and a ready sale on* the market. The seed corn shortage ts at the same time causing many other farmers to consider the advisability of putting in sorghum as a forage crop—though the dearth of sorghum seed is almost as pronounced, if not more so, than is the seed corn shortage. What and When to Plant. Sorghums are planted from ten days to two weeks after corn, for the seeds are small, and If the ground is cold they do not germinate well and a poor stand results. Early amber, an early maturing variety, is probably the best adapted to Michigan conditions. The land Is prepared for sorghum in much the same way as for core. The crop makes a slow growth at first and it is essential to get rid of as many weeds as possible before planting. For sirup the rows are drilled 88 to 42 inches apart with a corn planter, using 6 to 8 pounds of seed per acre. The method of cultivation Is the same as for corn. The first cultivation can be given with spike tooth harrow, and is quite effective in killing young weeds. The next cultivation should be with shovels or sweeps, deeply the first time ,with two or three shallow cultivations following. Harvesting For 8irup. Sorghum increases in percentage of sugar as well as In total dry matter nntil it is mature. From the early dough stage until the hard dough stage Is the right time for sirup making. If the seeds become hard there is danger of frost before all of the canes are made up, while If the seeds are in the milk stage an acid sirup with an unripe taste Is produced. For best results the leaves are stripped while canes are standing. The need head, with six or eight Im ies of the upper cane should be cut off, as this part contains many impurities. Suckers should be discarded for the same reason. Canes may be cut by hand, or with the corn binder. In warm weather canes should not be cut more than two days before using as there is danger of fermentation. When a heavy frost occurs the sorghum should be cut and placed In large shocks at once. A heavy freeze will do but little damage provided the canes can be worked up at once upon thawing but after thawing they will spoil In a very short time. A ton of canes will yield 500 to 1,000 pounds of juice which will make 8 to 25 gallons of sirup. Four to eight tons of canes per acre Is a good yield. Making Sirup. The sirup manufacturing process consists of three main stages—(1) Extraction of Juice; (2) clarification of raw Juice and (8) evaporation of Juice. The extraction is done by passing the cane between rollers. Two-roller and three-roller mills can be purchased. Seventy to 80 per cent of the canes are water, but It Is not possible to obtain all of this as juice. With a threeroller mill 50 per cent of the weight of the cane should be obtained unless the cane Is very hard and dry. The canes after being passed through the mill can be need for roughage. Oftencomes from the mill should be nm through a strainer made of fine wire (the same as is used for straining milk) into a settling tank or barrel, ulao used for storage. There should be three tanks, one being tilled, while one la being emptied and the third settling. Raw Juice holds in solutions a number of Impurities, which on standing slowly settle out. These are good hog feed. Some makers provide special tanks and cla«ify by heating. The temperature of the juice is brought nearly to the boiling point and then the heat Is turned off and the juice allowed to stand for a short time. The clear layer is then drawn off tor evaporation. This process is to be preferred since heat hastens clarlheation. Evaporation. A patent pan evaporator can be bought on the market. Do not put too much sirup In the evaporator at once as a thin layer (about two inches) makes a quicker evaporation and allows the impurities to reach the surface more easily and less color Is developed. If an ordinary gutter is placed alongside the pan when installed, the scum can be raked off into this. In starting a patent evaporator have water in all parts and heat this until the juice enters. The finished sirup upon cooling should have a moisture content of not over 30 per eent. One gallon should weigh not less than 11¼ pounds. As the liquid thickens the boiling point Is raised. Water at ordinary pressure bolls a t 212 degrees Fahrenheit, while a sugar solution containing not more than 30 per cent of water bolls at about 224 degrees Fahrenheit. When the boiling point changes from 212 degrees to 224 degrees the product is ready to remove from the fire. If an accurate thermometer is placed in the boiling sirup a rough estimate of the density of the product can be made. In taking the temperature do not allow the bulb of the thermometer to touch the bottom or sides of the evaporator or be exposed above the surface of the liquid. When the sirup has reached the proper density it should be removed from the fire and rapidly cooled. If cooled it makes a lighter sirup and a better grade. The sirup can be placed in tin, glass or wooden containers but these should be well scalded before using. Sorghum for Forage. Since the foliage of sorghums remains green until the heads are mature, a fair quality of coarse forage Is secured. The time of planting is the same as for simp, that is, ten days to two weeks after corn planting time. Sorghum for forage Is either sown thick in drill rows about 3 feet 6 inches apart at rate of 15 pounds seed per acre and cultivated, or sown with the grain drill or broadcast at the rate of one bushel per acre. When cultivated in rows the best method of harvesting is with a corn binder and the bundles set up in small shocks may be set together in a large shock and tied near the top. When sown broadcast the crop Is cut with a mower or grain binder and handled as coarse hay. When cut with a mower a stubble of six inches should be left as this facilitates drying and gathering the heavy fodder with a hay rake. Heavy sorghum hajr dries very slowly and should be left for one or two weeks In swath before raking and cocking- and should be thoroughly cured in cocks before stacking. The average yield carries from 4 to 8 tons per acre. COUNTRY PASTORS TO MEET Annusl Conference W i l l Be Conducted at M. A.

EL Ryder. In this conference, which will be interdenominational in character, and an invitation to which is being sent out to every rural clergyman in the state, questions having to do with the work of the church In country communities will be taken up as was done In the assembly a year ago. A number of men of high reputation in church affairs of the country sruch as Dean E. I. Bosworth of Oberlln college; Dean Shaler Matthews of" the University of Chicago, Dr. Warren H. Wilson of New York city, and Bishop T. S. Henderson of Detroit will cooperate with the faculty of the eolP lege In the week's sessions. The general theme of the conference will be T h e Church in Time of Peace and War." A new feature of the conference this year will be a short course for rural ministers, running from July 8 to 20.

"•y-M e 3 l GERMANS SUFFER L First Week of Great Battle Described in Detail. HEROISM OF THE BRITISH Retiring Slowly to the Somme, They Exact Awful Payment for Every Foot Gained by the Kaiser's Hordes. London.—Details of the first week of the great battle in France show that, while the fighting has beeu more severe than In any previous offensive, there has been no cause for pessimism. The German losses have been terrific, probably 250,000 casualties having beeu suffered by the kaiser's hosts. At such cost they won less than onethird of the ground on which they had counted. The morale of the British troops has been perfect throughout and they have fought magnificently. Million Germans in Action. These facts stand out: It Is known that at least 1,000,000 Germans were engaged on the whole front of attack. In the Somme area not less than 52 array divisions were identified. The British line suffered its most severe buffeting in this stretch, but was firm everywhere. The Germans believed that a loss of 500,000 would be a cheap price for success In the west, but with a loss already of 250,000 there Is no prospect of their attaining the victory they see£. 'they regained all the ground lost in the Cambrai battle and have taken back sections of the territory taken from them in the Somme offensive of last year. The fighting was not by any means a continual German advance. The British counter-nttacked heavily and fought for every foot of ground. Details of the Fighting. In one battle on the extreme left the Germans employed not less than nine divisions In an effort to break through. For three days the three British divisions held them at bay. Finally, under weight of numbers, the British retired behind the line marked by the ruined villages of Bullecourt, East Noguell and Croiselles. The next morning the Germans renewed the attack, striking northward from Fontainelles and Croiselles and westward from Cherlssy. They drove In mass formation, wave after wave, toward the heights between Henln-sur- Cojeul to Heniu hill. Two hours of drum fire, In which gas and high-explosive shells were mingled, preceded the infantry attack. From eight o'clock in the morning until noon continuous waves of gray-clad troops stormed the heights, - British machine guns posted on the ridge swept down line after line of Germans. By three o'clock in the afternoon the Teutons had succeeded In pressing past Henln hill on both sides and threatened to cut off the machine gunners posted on the crests. Not until then did the latter retire and rejoin the main British force. Similar fighting was going on at the same time on the right wing. Tremendous pressure was brought to bear around St. Leger, Vaux and Vraucourt It lasted all day. At times under the German blows the British line sagged heavily, but at no point did it give way. Desperate Defense of Vaulx. A bitter battle was fought for possession of Vaulx, but British machine gunners posted In the ruins of the village held the Germans at bay. A ruined factory served as a fortress despite the shelling to which It was subjected. Not until late in the afternoon was It impossible for the British to hold the town longer. Even then the retreat only went for a thousand yards. The British rear guard fought every step of the way, and, returning to the main body, a counter-attack was launched against the Germans in possession of Vaulx and the village was regained. The fighting continued all night. Finally Vaulx had to be abandoned before heavy night attacks, but only because German forces had pushed past farther up the line and were driving to the attack of Mory. Another hitter struggle was fought around Croiselles. At Mory Scottish and Engliah troops Inflicted tremen* dons lottes on the Germans. Sunday Battle South of Peronne. Yhe fighting Sunday was tremendous. All day long heavy forces of Germans endeavored to force a crossing of the Somme south of Peronne, while further along the line they concentrated their efforts against Batlcally at point range smashed every effort:. On some occasions British In fuutry, eounter-uuuckiug, dushed Into the water to tight the Germans. With the object of capturing Drvlllers and Essiguy, southwest of St. Quentin, the Germans employed at least six divisions, or 72,000 men ot storming troops, the 50th, 45th (reserves), n t h , 88th, 187th and 238th, In the proportion of one division lo every British battalion. The averane width of each attack was 2,000 yards. Ten Tanks Wreak Havoc Amid Fo«. Passing through Urvillers, ttiere was a bloody struggle in a chalk quarry, where muny German dead now lie. After the Germans had come some way forward ten British tanks drove into them and shattered some of their battalions with their machine-gun fire, dispersing groups of the advancing units. The British fought many rear guard actions and made numerous counterattacks in the neighborhood of Roisel, falling back to the line of the Somme only when new masses of Germans passed through those battalions which they had not met and beaten. Between Gozeaucourt and Epephy occurred a most desperate struggle* The Germans attacked in overwhelming strength. Their previous bombardment had had little effect and the British troops had suffered but slightly. The weather was misty, and, screened by this mist, the Germans were on top of the British before the latter were aware of it. In dense formation they came on, offering excellent targets. Grouad was yielded by | the British only i n d e r pressure of overwhelming numfers. Heroic Deeds of the British. Fighting Saturday between Arras and Bapaume for possession of the heights between the Cojeul and Sensee rivers was especially bitter. Outnumbered eight to one, the British troops clung to their positions to the last. In Gauche wood, where Scots and South Africans were placed, another terrific struggle ensued. The Germans several times managed to reach the wood but were repeatedly thrown back. Their losses in killed were especially heavy, as they came on in mass formation. Attempt after attempt was frustrated. From a height below Gauche wood known as Chapel hill to Epephy three German divisions and parts of a fourth were thrown against the British. At one point the enemy was actually among the British advance posts before he was discovered. The fog thoroughly screened him. Waves of Germans flowed past the farm and around it, but In the farm itself the Leicesters held out, fighting and refusing to surrender until every man was killed or so severely wounded he could fight no more. The British showed the greatest strength between Bapaume and Peronne and above Bapaume as far as Arras. The Germans, however, con- | cerned with the southern flank, at the Franco-British junction point, concentrated their most terrific blows against the Peronne-Ham--Chauny line, relying on tho necessity of an automatic British withdrawal in the north If their line was bent or broken In the south. Bapaume was an obstacle on the northern side, to capture which they sacrificed thousands of their best troops. Rivers of blood were shed for the town's possession In a combat that lasted almost all night, until the British finally yielded the ruins, after having exacted a fearful price. Kaiser Orders Jubilation. The kaiser was with Field Marshal von Hindenburg in Peronne surveying the bloody fields where thousands of his best fighting men were killed or maimed before the British finally withdrew. The emperor ordered a general Jubilation throughout the empire, rockets n*d flags and a holiday for the children being the chief symbols of celebration. He conferred a gold inlaid iron cross on Hindenburg. • Wilhelra also sent dispatches to the empress telling of the progress made by his armies. -r; Repeatedly German engineers attempted to throw pontoon bridges the river.

Subscriptions to Liberty Loan, Investment in Thrift Stamps, Contributions of Clothing, Conservation of Food Necessary to Win. (By GELETT BURQE88 of the Vigilantes and the Prophet Isaiah.) Yes, I, too, saw them, many I saw, Indoors and out, at the theater and at the rink, knitting, oh no, not khaki gray, but the gay colors of frivolity, knitting pink and yellow and white; knitting sweaters, sweaters, God help them, for their own soft shoulders. Yet In the trenches of France our soldiers are shivering, shivering, freezing for gray, gray, GRAY! And thou saldst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of t t Waste makes want and want makes woe I Does not England already know? It has gone from Spend to Save, from Scrimp to Starve. Do you know, oh careless daughters, that there even the garbage cans are inspected for waste?—that one is fined for throwing away a slice of hread? Yet here often more food is wasted at one dinner than would feed a family. Yes, wasted today—but what of tomorrow? Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of Joy in the Joyous city. Ice cream sodas and cakes and confectionery, hats, bags and hosiery— do you, too, watch and wonder how the young girls fling away the future? Yet, still uncared-for, the orphans of France and Belgium, Serbia, thousands wait suffering to be fed. And OUR orphans—when the great shock falls—shall they, to, not need all that we can save? Therefore hear now this, thou that are given to pleasure, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest In thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children. It Is so easy to do—to save. It 1» so hurd to do—to supply what prodigality has squandered. It is so simple to do—to lend what we save to the government that our neighbor's fate may be averted or diminished. Now, now, NOW! Must our sluggards, male and female have to go to the ant to take heed—to comprehend how, If each lays up grain of provision agnlnst want, the whole hill shall be saved? Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women : for the vintage shall fall, the gathering shall not come. Every cent selfishly, thoughtlessly spent, robs sufferers abroad, robs our soldiers, robs our own future. Every cent patriotically lent to Thrift campaign or Liberty Loan, brings peace nearer—nearer! Rise up, ye women that are at ease: hear ray voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech. WE MUST HANG TOGETHER (By THEODOSIA GARRISON of the Vigilantes.) Said Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, putting down the pen with which he had Just signed the Declaration of Independence: "Gentlemen, we must all hang together or assuredly we shall all hang separately." In a single phrase he combined an epigram, a warning, a declaration of faith and, incidentally, framed a motto for the present generation. The value of team work for the national good is unquestioned; the value of the individual beyond the share he contributes to the general power Is negligible. This undented fact acknowledged by everybody and more often quoted than applied, waited to be demonstrated in its entirety by the Imperial German government who, after Its fashion, lost no time In claiming it as a personal discovery, marking It with the "Made In Germany" Rtamp and promptly christening It "efficiency." Mind you, it is the German governm e n t that has made Its people efficient and tfiftt hy the simple and direct method of the-brutal overseer who lashed a gang of slaves iBto^the perfect workmen that produced tfce 1Q0 per cent result he desired. The Individual who with all his heart wishes a certain thing accomplished doesn't have to be whipped Into his work, and the difference between slavery and freedom, between autocracy and democracy, lies in that-Individual himself. "The nation," says President Wilson, "needs all men, but It needs each man, not in the field that will most pleasure htm, but in the endeavor that will best *erve the common good." ^ ; - * - ft 3i* PINCKNEV DISPATCH WED I I TOP MAilDKM S0LHER WHO WENT * * AffillGUYffiPtY MAdlNE GUN[ia,XRYINGIM fBAHCE ' ©JSI7 BY AATmX tin tttfEY "SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE" EMPEY FIRST HEARS THE BIG GUNS BOOMING. 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. CHAPTER II. —2— Blighty to Rest Billets. The next morning the captain sent for me and Informed me: "Empey, as a recruiting sergeant you are a washoat," and 'sent me to a training depot- After arriving at this place, I was hustled to the quartermaster stores and received an awful shock. The quartermaster sergeant spread a waterproof sheet on the ground and commenced throwing a miscellaneous assortment of straps, buckles and other paraphernalia into It. I thought he would never stop, but when the pile reached to my knees he paused long enough to say, "Next, No. 5217, 'Arris, B company." I gased in bewilderment at the pile of Junk In front of me, and then my eyes wandered around looking for the wagon which was to carry it to barracks. I was rudely brought to earth by the "quarter" exclaiming, 44'Ere, you, 'op It; tyke It aw'y; blind ray eyes, V s looking for 'is batman to 'elp 'lm carry It." Struggling under the load, with frequent pauses for rest, I reached our barracks (large car barns), and my platoon leader came to the rescue. It was a marvel to me how quickly he assembled the equipment. After he had completed the task, he showed me how to adjust It on my person. Pretty soon I stood before him a proper Tommy Atkins in heavy marching order, feeling like an overloaded camel. On my feet were heavy-soled boots, studded with hobnails, the toes and heels of which were re-enforced by steel half-moons. My legs were Incased In woolen puttees, olive drab in color* with my trousers overlapping thetn at the top. Then a woolen khaki tunic, under which was a bluish gray woolen shirt, minus a collar; beneath this shirt a woolen belly band about six inches wide, held in place by tie strings of white tape. On my head was a heavy woolen trench %cap, with hnge earlaps buttoned over the top. Then the equipment: A canvas belt with ammunition pockets; and two wide canvas straps like suspenders, called "D" straps, fastened to the belt in front, passing over each shoulder, crossing in the middle of my back, and attached by buckles to the rear of the belt On the right side of the belt hung a water bottle, covered with felt; on the left side was my bayonet and scabbard, and intrenching tool handle, this handle strapped to the bayonet scabbard. In the rear was my intrenching tool, carried In a canvas case. This tool was a combination pick and spade. A canvas haversack was strapped to the left side of the belt while on my back was the pack, also of canvas, held in place by two canvas straps over the shoulders; suspended on the bottom of the pack was my mess tin*or canteen in a neat little canvas case. My waterproof sheet, looking like a Jelly roll, was strapped on top of the pack, with a wooden stick for cleaning the breach of the rifle projecting from each end. On a lanyard around my waist hung a huge Jackknife with a can-opener attachment The pack contained my overcoat sn extra pair of socks, change of underwear, hold all (containing knife, fork, spoon, comb, toothbrush, lather brush, shaving soap, and a rasor made of tin, with "Made In England** stamped on the blade; when trying to shave with this It made yon wish that yon were at war with Patagonia, so that yon could have a "hollow ground** stamped "Made In Germany"); then your bouse, wife, button-cleaning outfit consisting of a brass button stick, two stiff brashes, and a box of "Soldiers* Friend** paste; then a shoe brush and a box of dubbin, a writing pad. Indelible pencil, envelopes, and pay book, and personal belongings, such as a •man mirror, a decent rasor and a sheaf of unanswered letters, and fags. In your haversack yon carry your iron rations, meaning a tin of buHy boat; four Weentts and a can containing tea. sugar and Oxo cubes; a couple of pipes and a pack of shag, a tin of rifle oil, and a pull-through. Tommy generally carries the oil with his rations; It gives the cheese a sort of sardine taste. Add to this a first-aid pouch and a long, ungainly rifle patterned after the Daniel Boone period, and you have an Idea of a British soldier In Blighty. Before leaving for France, this rifle is taken from him and he Is issued with a Lee-Enfleld short trench rifle and a ration bag. In France he receives two gas helmets, a sheepskin coat, rubber mackintosh, steel helmet, two blankets, tearshell goggles, a balaclava helmet gloves and a tin of antlfrostblte grease which Is excellent for greasing the boots. Add to this the weight of his rations, and can you blame Tommy for growling at a twenty-kilo route march? Having served as sergeant major in the United States cavalry, I tried to tell the English drill sergeants their business, but It did not work. They immediately put me as batman In their mesa. Many a greasy dish of stew was accidentally spilled over them. I would sooner fight than be a waiter, so when the order came through from headquarters calling for a draft of 250 re-enforcements for France, I volunteered. Then we went before the M. O. (medical officer) for another physical examination. This was very brief. He asked our names and numbers and The Author's Identification Disk. said "Fit" and we went out to fight We were put Into troop trains and sent to Southampton, where we detrained, and had our trench rifles Issued to us. Then (n columns of twos we went up the gangplank of a little steamer lying alongside the dock. At the head of the gangplank there was an old sergeant who directed that we line ourselves along both rails of the shin. Then he ordered ns to take life belts from the racks overhead and pot them on. I have crossed the ocean several times and knew I was not seasick, but when I buckled on that life belt I had a sensation of sickness. After we got out Into the stream ah I could think of was that there were a million German submarines with a tor* pedo on each, across the warhead of which was Inscribed my name and ad- After five hours we came alongside a pier and disembarked. I had attained another one of my ambitions. I was "somewhere in France** We slept In the open that night on the side of the road. Abort atx the next morning wv ware ordered to entrain. 1 looked around for the coaches, but all I could bee ou the aiding were cattle cars. We climbed Into these. On the side of each car was a sign reading "Hommes 40, Cheveaux 8." When we got Inside of the cars, we thought that perhaps the sign painter had reversed the order of things. .After 48 hours in these trucks we detrained at Kouen. At this place we went through an Intensive training for ten days. The training consisted of the rudiments of trench warfare. Trenches had been dug, with barbed wire entanglements, bombing saps, dugouts, observation posts and machine gun emplacements. We were given a smattering of trench cooking, sanitation, bomb throwing, reconnoltering, listening posts, constructing and repairing barbed wire, "carrying in" parties, methods used In attack and defense, wiring parties, mass formation, and the procedure for poison-gas attacks. On the tenth day we again met our friends "Hommes 40, Cheveaux 8." Thirty-six hours more of misery, and we arrived at the town of F . After unloading our rations and equipment we lined up on the road In columns of fours waiting for the order to march. A dull rumbling could be heard. The sun was shining. I turned to the man on my left and asked, "What's the noise, Bill?" He did not know, but his face was of a pea-green color. Jim, on my right also did not know, but suggested that I "awsk" the sergeant Coming towards us was an old grizzled sergeant, properly fed up with the war, so I "awsked" him. "Think it's going to rain, sergeant?" He looked at me In contempt and grunted, " 'Ow's It a-goln* ter rain with the bloomin' sun a-shlnin'?" I looked guilty. "Them's the guns up the line, me lad, and you'll get enough of 'em before you gets back to Blighty." My knees seemed to wilt, and I squeaked out a weak "Oh!" Then we started our march up to the line In ten-kilo treks. After the first day's march we arrived at our rest billets. In France they call them rest billets, because while in them Tommy works seven days a week and on the eighth day of the week he Is given twenty-four hours "on his own." Our billet was a spacious affair, a large barn on the left side of the road, which had one hundred entrances, ninety-nine for shells, rats, wind and rain, and the hundredth one for Tommy. I was tired out, and using my shrapnel-proof helmet (shrapnel proof until a piece of shrapnel hits it), or tin hat for a pillow, lay down in the straw, and was soon fast asleep. I must have slept about two hours, when I awoke with a prickling sensation all over me. As I thought the straw had worked through my uniform. I woke up the fellow lying on my left, who had been up the line before, and asked him: "Does the straw bother you, mate? It's worked through my uniform and I can't sleep." In a sleepy voice he answered, "That ain't straw, them's cooties." From that time on my friends the "cooties" were constantly with me, "Cooties," or body lice, are the bane of Tommy's existence. The aristocracy of the trenches very seldom call them "cooties," they speak of them as fleas. To an American flea means a small insect armed with a bayonet who is wont to jab it into you and then hopskip and Jump to the next place to be attacked. There is an advantage In having fleas on you Instead of "cooties" in that In one of his extended jumps said flea is liable to land on the fellow next to you; he has the typical energy and push of the American, while the "cootie" has the bulldog tenacity of the Englishman; he holds on and consolidates or digs in until his meal Is finished. There Is no way to get rid of them permanently. No matter how often you bathe, and that Is not very often. or how many times you change your underwear, your friends the "cooties'* are always in evidence. The billets are Infested with them, especially so If there is straw on the floor. I have taken a bath and put on brand-new underwear; in fact a complete change of uniform, and then turned in for the night The next morning my shirt would be full of them. It Is a common sight to see eight or ten soldiers sitting under a tree with their shirts over their knees engaging In a "shirt hunt" At night about half an hour before "lights out" you can see the Tommies grouped around a candle, trying, in Its dim light to rid their underwear of the vermin. A popular and very quick method 1s to take your shirt and drawers, and run the seams back and forward In the flame from a candle and burn them o u t This practice Is dangerous, because yon are liable to burn holes In the garments If yon are not careful. - Recruits generally sent to Blighty for a brand of Insect powder advertised as "Good for body lice." The advertisement Is quite right; the powder la good for "cooties;" they simply thrive on It The older men of oar battalion were wiser and made eeratchers out of wood. These were robbed smooth wltk a bit of sioue or sand to pieveui spliu lers. They were about eighteen laches long, and Tommy guarantees that a scratcher of this length will" reach any part of the body which may be attacked. Some of the fellows were lazy and only made their scratchers twelve Inches, but many a night when on gxiard, looking over the top from the tire step of the front-line trench, they would have given a thousand "quid' for the other six inches. Once while we were in rest billets an Irish Hussar regiment camped In an open field opposite our billet. After they had picketed and fed their horses, a general shirt hunt took place. The troopers Ignored the call "Dinner up." and kept on with tN*Ir search for big game. They had » wtflous method of procedure. They hunfe «Se*4r shirts over a hedge and beat them wtjj their entrenching tool handles. I asked one of them why they didn't pick them off by hand, and he answered, "We haven't had a bath for nine weeks or a change of clubber. If I tried to pick the 'cooties' off my shirt, I would be here for duration of war." After taking a close look at his shirt I agreed with him ; it was alive. In the next installment Sergeant Empey tell of the realization of his ambition—his arrival In a first line trench—and of how he wished he were back In Jersey City. (TO B E CONTINUED.) PLENTY OF STORAGE PLACES Woman Who Has Made Home Into a Veritable "House of a Thousand Closets.1* One little woman living not far from New York, says Harriet Slsson Gillespie In the Mother's Magazine, has been able by the expenditure of a moderate gum of money to transform an Impracticable closetless dwelling Into one In which housekeeping Is not only a pleasure, but where the problem of storing away clothing has been satisfactorily solved. Among her friends It Is known as "the house of a thousand closets,** which Is nearly If not literally true. Every little cubby hole below the shingles has been utilized for closet space. There are banks of closers on both the second and attic floors, to sny nothing of a cedar closet with sun and air and electric light, for the reception of the owner's choicest possessions. Some of the closets are cedar lined, others sheathed with matched boards of North Carolina pine, well shellacked to keep out the moths and frequently sprayed with a liquid In which oil of cedar plays a part. A printed list of every article contained in the drawers and cupboards Is tacked in plain sight In order that the frantic search for Inanimate things that seem suddenly to have taken wings and flown away, may be entirely obviated. New Southern Industry. The advantages of New Orleans as a port were emphasised in the opening of a canning factory for the distribution of real green-sea turtles. With the exception of a small factory at Key West, It will be the only establishment of Its kind In America. The factory has been situated at Miami, Fla., but the excessive freight rates and a lack of steamer service to Central American porta led to Its removal to Bay St. Louis. It will handle nothing but greensea turtles caught In Central American waters, and these will be put up In fodr different forms—clear green turtle soup, thick green turtle soup, turtle beef In Creole style, and "calllpee," which is the meat of the turtle taken from the breast, back and flippers. The factory will turn out about 15,000 cans a day, or a total of 700,000 pounds n year, including all products. There is also a by-product called turtle oil, used medicinally.—Fishing Gazette.

Mr. P h e l p s has been Btudy. ing flying machines since the war began, a n d maintains t h a t t h e final victory will come through the allied aviation forcee, The P h e l p s machine is more strongly made than t h e standard type although not weighing as much. Phelps' big idea i s movable wings which may be controled by the driver. By setting these wings at the right angle the driver is able to get away within a third of the distance generally required by the standard type. T h e movable wings also mean that, even though t h e steering apparatus may become damaged or unworkable and the tail of t h e machine shot away, t h e airplane m a y be controlled perfectly. Mr, P h e l p s made his first model in F e b r u a r y but was not satisfied with some of its details.

Even the gold fishes In the bowl were sleeping and the suails were en- Joying a good rest. "Suddenly a little fairy came hopping and skipping into the library. 'Hello, peacocks,' ahe said. 'I've- been meaning to come fur some time, but I've been so busy. Gracious, but I've been a busy fairy !' " "What have you been doing?' asked the peacocks. "The little fairy put her wand down on the library table and jumped up on the table beside the peacocks. And of course you must know just who the peacocks were, and why they were in the library. On the library table was a set of book-racks. At either end these racks held up whatever books were put between them, so they were arranged where people could look at the names of the books they wanted to take out and read. These bookracks were very beautiful. Each one was made to look like a beautiful peacock with a spread tall, and so, at either end there was a- muke-belleve peacock. "They were the peacocks the fairy had come to see. She stuck her little feet straight out before her, and she wore sandals with wings upon them. " 'And now you've asked me what I've been doing lately. I've been going to a number of parties. The fairies have given a ball, the brownies and gnomes have given a slush party on a deliclously slushy day last week, and there has been a lot of work to attend to. "I've been helping the Fairy Queen in her talks to Mr. Sandman and the Dream Kirn? so children will have love- She $tuck Her Little Feet Out Before Her. ly dreams, and also so they'll hear that there are no bad goblins, but only nice, Jolly goblins. " 'I do beHeve the children in the bedrooms of this house are dreaming some of our special dreams tonight.' "She threw a kiss to each peacock, and said, 'Now tell me the story you promised me last time I came.' "The peacocks could not look at each other, as one was at one end of the books—and the other one at the other end. "The fairy noticed this at once, and said, 'You might begin, peacock at this end. and then when you pause, the other peacocks will talk.' "So that settled the difficulty. " 'The story we wanted to tell you,' said the first peacock, 'was this. We wanted to let you know what an honor had been paid to peacocks. We thought you might tell the fairies about us, and that would please us so much. We get rather tired staying so still, but we're happy because of our story.* "The second peacock began to speak, as the fairy hopped over nearer that end of the book-rack. 'We're so delighted because for years we've been considered very vain. We have beautiful tails and we love to spread them out and strut about and show them off. 14 'No wonder, then, that we want to show them to the whole world. We think they enjoy beautiful tilings, and so we show off our tails. But do they appreciate them? Not for a moment. Well, maybe that's a bit harsh. They do think our tails are beautiful, Tve not a doubt of that, but Instead of thanking us for giving them so many opportunities for seeing our tails, they call us vain.' " 'We are vain, to be sure,' said the first peacock, 'but we like to give pleasure with our beauty. And so it's no wonder they choose us for lovely book-racks.

O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) (Copyright. 1918. Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR MARCH 31 JESU8 OUR EXAMPLE IN SERVICE. GOLDEN TEXT—Let this mind be In you, which was also hi Christ Jesus.— Phil. 2:5. PRIMARY TOPIC—Jeeus our example In helping others. MEMORY VERSE—Follow me.—Matt 13. EASTER LESSON. LESSON TEXT-I Cor. 15:50-». GOLDEN TEXT-Thanka be unto God who glveth us the victory through our Lord Jesue Christ—I Cor. 16*. (Bead Phil. 2:1*11.) A great many Sunday schools will probably omit the review lesson and devote the day to some special Easter exercises. This practice we cannot wholly condemn, but we would urge every school to devote some time to a consideration of the lesson text. Review Sunday is dreaded by many superintendents, but it is a test of knowledge and skill In teaching, as well as the character of work done during the.past three months. Some codemn Bible-school teaching by comparing It disparagingly with that of the day school without taking into consideration the difference between paid and volunteer teachers, the limited time devoted to study, discipline and other features. It Is manifestly unfair to Judge the Sunday school by the same pedagogical standards as are applied to our public schools. The Sunday school deals with spiritual realities and not alone with moral issues. It Is a wonderful testimony to the blessing of God that with such meager equipment, training and time at our disposal, the results of the Sunday school are so wonderfully effective In the Christian development of our country. With religious education legislated out of our public-school system, almost entirely neglected In our homes, and not one family ID five or six connected with the Christian church, this suggests a condition savoring of cultured paganism. This ought not to discourage the Sunday-school worker, but rather challenge him to greater concentration and more valiant endeavor. If a review is desired, summarize the lessons by allowing twelve classes or twelve persons to each bring In a brief digest Lesson 1 gives us the testimony of John the Baptist concerning the one "mightier" than himself, "whose shoes he was not worthy to unloose." Lessen 2 shows the Impeccability of Jesus, in that he was "tempted In all points like as we are, yet without stn.M Lesson 8 reveals him as the holy one of God, with power over unclean spirits and other sicknesses. Lesson 4 shows us Jesus as 8avior who has power on earth to forgive sins. If he bo not the SOD of God the worship of Jesus Is nothing less than paganism or Idolatry. Lesson 5 shows us Jesus as Lord of the Sabbath. Lesson 6 as the Son of God, not only In his healing power but In his authority over unclean 8pirlts with power to delegate that authority to others. Lesson 7 shows Jesus as the great teacher who will bring forth abundant fruit and eternal life. Lesson • shows the marvelous germinal power of the divine seed. Lesson 9 shows Jesus as the 8on of God, whom even the winds and the sea must obey. Lessen 10 shows us Jesus as the 8on of God with power over death. Lesson 11 shows us Jesus as not only having authority over unclean spirits, but possessing power to Impart that authority to others, while Lesson 12 shows us his compassion upon the un8bepherded multitude, and the exercise of his divine creative power in feeding them. Of course such a review will be rapid and perhaps Incomplete, but it wih show that Jesus meets every situation and that his grace Is sufficient for all the conditions of life. It will also show that his words communicate vitality to society but that their effectiveness depends upon the response which Is accorded to them. If a test is required, of the pupUs, a set of questions covering the work of the quarter should be prepared and given to them a week in advance, from which a half dozen might be selected for written review during the class hour. This is no theoretical plan. The writer knows of many Sunday schools where written reviews are being successfully conducted. The Holy Land where Christ lived, suffered, died and rose again, has recently been captured from the control of the Ottoman empire, and current history indicates the probable early establishment of a Jewish state in this land of prophecy.

Hassencball's, and is a sea of mud from the first of March to the first or middle of May each year, aad jast why this ioad has not been improved is the eighth wonder of the world. Some time in the dim and misty past a petition signad by 84 Putnam township tax payers was presented to the township board praying for a state road to be constructed one mile west from Harris' corners. Some time in the dim and misty past the Putnam board ordered this road built, a survey was made blue prints were prepared and—that was all. In the meantime other roads have been built, some with petitions and some without petitions, but this road still contiuues to remain an eyesore in the sight of God and man. Now some may think that this is a by road, and that there is not much travel over it, but if these sceptics will station themselves out there any day during the summer season and especialy during the fishing season' they will soon be convinced of their error, as there is probably not a more travelled road in this township during this season And it would be used a great deal more were it not for the fact that for several days after each hard rain it is nearly impassable. Just why the south-west part of the township has been left off the good road map is a problem. It looks as though it was up to the township board to take some action in this matter.

For a year and a half u ntil he fell wounded in No Slip's I n l , this American soldier saw more actual fighting and resl warfare than any war correspondent who has written about the war. His experiences are grim but they are thrilling and lightened by a touchof humor as original as the Soldiers; Three. And they are true.

TRACED TO PAGAN CEREMONY WATCH FOR 0AWN OF EASTER Thousands Gather on Mountain of Southern California to Take Par*. - in Religious Cfemony. In one of the loveliest spots in southern CaHforuiu, rising above the green orange und lemon groves of the valley, stands a bare und rugged mountain peak. Crowning its highest point is a great wooden cross. Nearby on huge bowlders are swung two Iron bells, and set in another high bowlder Is a bronlse tablet recording that this mountain top Is dedicated to Fra Junipero Serra, a sturdy old Spanish priest who, many years before California came into the Union, many years before the revolution which created the Union, strode back and forth across the desert Chris* tianizing and civilizing the Indians. The annals of southern California are rich in stories of Fra Junipero Serra, Bret Harte, Joaquin Miller and many another poet have sung of bim. But nowhere does his actual spirit seem to dwell as on this lonely mountain. For every year, at the dawn of Easter, people of the valley and of the entire state climb the mountain and take part in a religious ceremony which cannot be duplicated in the world. All night before the event the roads are filled with pilgrims—in motorcars, in carriages and wagons and on foot. Greeting Dawn of Caster. Through the dark they travel in si lence for the most part, for the hour is solemn. Before the dawn there are as many as 30,000 people on that mountain top gazing into the pale eastern sky. Suddenly the pale sky is pierced by a pencil of golden light. Then an* other, and then the morning sun. A cornet solo halls it first, followed by the music and the chanting of the Mass. Would that It were given to every soul of us onci? a year to climb a mountain top with a great multitude and lift up our hearts to the pure dawn.—Rheto Chllde Dorr. Christian Anniversary of Easter and Worship of Goddese of Spring Have Been Mingled. It was through the effort* of the priests and teachers of the early Christian church that the Easter season was shorn of its pagan ceremonies and converted into a Christian anniversary. These priests, finding it impossible to Induce the German and Saxon tribes among whom they labored to renounce their worship of the Goddess of Spring—varioualv known as Osters. Rostra and Easue—-skilfully managed to give the ceremonies another tarn, proclaiming that the season celebrated the rising of Christ from the dead. Gradually, a^ the new religion gained ground, the old heathen superstitions died ont. The goddess Bastre was no longer revered, but her name was retained to designate what had now become the festival of the Resurrection. For the first three centuries of the Christian era Easter was celebrated on the same day as the Jewish Passover, but after much dis- EASTER FLOWERS.

In the transition to a Christian ob servance many features of the oldtime spring festival became embodied in the Easter celebration.

IN THE SPRING will be the great test of a life and death straggle on the Western front. In the everyday walks of life, it is the spring time that brings ill health. One of the chief reasons why the run-down man finds himself in a bad state of health in March or April, is because he has spent nearly all hii hours for the past four or five months penned up within the walls of house, factory or once. It is the reason for our diminished resistance—that is, lack of oat-door life, coupled with perhaps over-eating, lack of good exercise, insufficient sleep, and constipation. In other words, we keep feeding the furnace with food but do not take out the "clinkers," and our fire does not burn brightly. Always keep the liver active. Xacrc is nothing better for health than taking an occasions! mttd laxative, perhaps'once a week; such a one as you can get at any drug store, made up of May-apple, jalap, aloes, (sugar-coated, tiny, easily taken ), which has stood the test of fifty years of approval—namely. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. But for the "Spring Fever," the general run-down condition, the lack of ambition, the "blues," one should take a coarse of treatment trtrr spring; such a standard tonic as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, now to be had in tablet form in sixty-cent vials. Watch the people go plodding along the street. There's no spring, no vitality. A vitalising tonic each as this vegetable extract of Dr. Pierce's gives you the power to force yourself into action. The brain responds to the new blood In circulation, and thus you're ready to make a fight against stagnation which holds you In bondage. Try it now! Don't wait! Today is the day to beela. Gain •* little "pep," and laugh and live. Vim and vitality are the natural out-pouring of a healthy body. It does not spring up in a night. Try this spring tonic, and you gain the courage that comes with good health. When Taken to Calk Unless a man who is taken to call is of an abnormally lively conversational habit, quick-to think of something that may pass for a contribution to current thought, and even quicker to get it out, he had best accept his position as merely decorative, and try to be as decorative as possible. Either he must be so quick that the first words of his sentence have leaped into life before he is himself aware of what is to come hurrying after them, or he must be so slow that the only sentence he has Is still painfully climbing to the surface long after the proper time for its appearance has passed and been forgotten. Swallow It, my dear sir. swallow it. Silence, accompanied by a wise, appreciative glance of the eye, Is better; for a man who has mastered the art of the wise look does his wife credit, and Is taken home from a call with his faculties unimpaired and hi* self-respect undiminished; he is the same man as when he was taken out.— Atlantic.

His experiences are grim, but they are thrilling, and they are lightened by a delightful touch of humor. CHAPTER I. From Mufti to Khaki. It was In an office In Jersey City. I was sitting at my desk talking to a lieutenant of the Jersey National Guard. On the wall was a big war map decorated with variously colored little flags showing the position of the opposing armies on the western front In France. In front of me on the desk lay a New York paper with big flaring headlines: LUS1TANIA 8 U N K I AMERICAN LIVE8 LOST! The windows were open and a feeling of spring pervaded the air. Through the open windows came the strains of a hurdy-gurdy playing In the street—"I Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier." "Lnsltanla Sunk! American Lives Lost!"—"I Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier." To us these did not seem to jibe. The lieutenant In silence opened one of the lower drawers of his desk and took from It an American flag which he solemnly draped over the war map on the wall. Then, turning to me with a grim face, said: * "How about It, sergeant? Ton had better get out the master roll of the Mounted Scouts, as I think they will be needed In the course of a few days." We busied ourselves till late In the evening writing out emergency tele* grams for the men to report when the call should come from Washington. Then we went home. I crossed over to New Tork, and as I went up Fulton street to take the subway to Brooklyn, the lights In the \ .. H"v --.> .V Jv \ v Quy Impey. tall buildings of New Tork seemed to be burning brighter than usual, as if they, toe, had read "Lusitania Bunk! American Lives Lost!** They seemed to be glowing with anger and righteous indignation, and their rays wigwagged the message, "Repay r Months passed, the telegrams lying bandy, bat covered with dust Then, one momentous morning the lieutenant with a sigh of disgust removed the l a g from the war map and returned to his deek. I immediately followed this action by throwing the telegrams into the wastebasket. Then we looked at each other In silence. He was squirming in his chair and I felt depressed and uneasy. The telephone rang and I answered i t It was a business call for me, requesting my services for an out-oftown assignment Business was not very good, so this was very welcome. After listening to the proposition I seemed to be swayed by a peculiarly strong force within me, and answered, "I am sorry that I cannot accept your offer, but I am leaving for England next week," and hung up the receiver. The lieutenant swung around in his chair, and stared at me in blank astonishment. A sinking sensation came over me. but I defiantly answered his look with, "Well, it's so. I'm going." And I went The trip across was uneventful. I landed at Tilbury, England, then got Into a string of matchbox cars and proceeded to London, arriving there about 10 p. m. I took a room in a hotel near St Pancras station for "five and six—fire extra." The room was minus the fire, but the "extra" seemed to keep me warm. That night there was a Zeppelin raid, but I didn't see much of i t because the slit in the curtains was too small and I had no destre to make it larger. Next morning the telephone bell rang, and someone asked, "Are you there?" I was, hardly. Anyway, I learned that the Zeps had returned to their fatherland, so I went out Into the street expecting to see scenes of awful devastation and a cowering populace, but everything was normal. People were calmly proceeding to their work. Crossing the street, I accosted a Bobbie with: * "Can you direct me to the place of damage?" He asked me, "What damage T In surprise. I answered, "Why, the damage caused by the Zeps." With a wink he replied: "There was no damage; we missed them again." After several fruitless Inquiries of the passersby, I decided to go on my own In search of ruined buildings and scenes of destruction. I boarded a bus which carried me through Tottenham Court road. Recruiting posters were everywhere. The one that Impressed me most was a life-size picture of Lord Kitchener with his finger pointing directly at me, under the caption of "Your King and Country Need You," No matter which way I turned, the accusing finger followed me. I was an American, In mufti, and had a little American flag In the lapel of my coat I had no king, and my country had seen fit not to need me, but still that pointing finger made me feel small and ill at ease. I got off the bus to try to dissipate this feeling by mixing with the thron? of the sidewalks. Presently I came to a recruiting office. Inside, sitting at a desk was a lonely Tommy Atkins. I decided to Interview him in regard to Joining the British army. I opened the door. He looked up and greeted me with "I s*y, myte, want to" tyke on?" I looked at him and answered, "Well, whatever that Is, 1*11 take a chance at It." Without the aid of an Interpreter. I found out that Tommy wanted to know if I cared to Join the British army. He asked met "Did you ever hear of the Royal Fusiliers?" Well, in London, you know, Yanks are supposed to know everything, so I was not going to appear Ignorant and answered, "Sure." After listening for one half-hour to Tommy's tale of their exploits on the firing line, I decided to Join. Tommy took me to the recruiting headquarters, where I met a typical English captain. He asked my nationality. I immediately pulled out my American passport and showed it to him. It was signed by Lansing. After looking at the passport he Informed me that be was sorry but could not enlist me, as It would be a breach of neutrality. I Insisted that I was not neutral, because to me it seemed that a real American could not be neutral when big things were In progress, but the captain would not enlist me. With disgust in my heart I went out in the street. I had gone about a block when a recruiting sergeant who had followed me out of the office tapped me on the shoulder with his swagger stick and said: "g*y, I can get yon In the army. We hare a leftenanf down at the other office who can do anything. He has Just ceme out of the 0. T. C. (Officers* Training corps) and does not know what neutrality Is." I decided to take a chauce, and accepted his invitation for an introduction to the lieutenant. I entered the office and went up to him, opened up my passport and said: "Before going further I wish to state that I am an American, not too proud to fight, and want to Join your army." He looked at me in a nonchalant manner, and answered, "That's all right; we take anything over here." I looked at him kind of hard and replied. "So 1 notice," but it went over his head. He got out an enlistment blank, and placing his finger on a blank line said, "Sign here." I answered, "Not on your tintype." "I beg your pardon?" Then I explained to him that I would not sign it without first reading it I read it over and signed for duration of war. Some of the recruits were lucky. They signed for seven years only I Then be asked me my birthplace. I answered, "Ogden, Utah." He said, "Oh, yes, Just outside of New York?" With a smile, I replied, "Well, it's up the state a little." Then I was taken before the doctor and passed as physically fit, and was issued a uniform. When I reported back to the lieutenant, he suggested that, being an American, I go on recruiting service and try to shame some of the slackers Into Joining the army." "All you have to do," he said, "Is to go out on the street, and when you see a young fellow in mufti who looks physically fit, Just stop him and give him this kind of a talk : 'Aren't you Swearing in a Recruit. ashamed of yourself, a Britisher, physically fit, and in mufti when your king and country need you? Don't you know that your country lg at war and that the place for every young Briton Is on the firing line? Here I am, an American, in khaki, who came four thousand miles to fight for your king and country, and you, as yet, have not enlisted. Why don't yon Join? Now is the time.' "This argument ought to get many recruits, Empey, so go oat and see what you can do." He then gave me a small rosette of red, white and blue ribbon, with three little streamers hanging down. This was the recruiting insignia and was to be worn on the left side of the cap Armed with a swagger stick and my patriotic rosette, I went out into Tottenham Court road in quest of cannon fodder. Two or three poorly dressed civilians passed me, and although they appeared physically fit, I said to myself, "They don't want to Join the army; perhaps they have someone dependent on them for support," so I did not accost them. Coming down the street I saw a young dandy, top hat and all, with a fashionably dressed girl walking beside him. I muttered. Ton are my meat," and when he came abreast of me I stepped directly in his path and stopped him with my twagger stick, saying: "You would look fine In khaki; why not change that top hat for a steel helmet? Aren't you ashamed of yourself, a husky young chap like yon In mufti when men are Beaded in the trenches? Here I am, an American, came four thousand miles from Ogden, Utah, Just outside of New York, to fight for your king and country. Don't be a slacker, buck up and get into uniform ; come ov*r to the recruiting office and 111 have you enlisted." He yawned and answered, HI dont care If you came, forty thousand miles, no one asked you to,** and be waited on. The girl gave me a sneering look; I was speechless. I recruited for three weeks sod near* ly got one recruit This perhaps was not the great**, stnnt In the world, but It got back at the officer who had told me, "Yes, wt take anything over hem," I had been spending a good lot of my recruiting time In the saloon bar of the Wheat «beef pub (there was a very attractive Monde barmaid, who helped kill time— I was not as serious in those days as I was a little later when I reached the front)—well,, it was the sixth day and my recruiting report was blank, 1 was getting low In the pocket—bar-* maids haven't much use for anyone who cannot buy drinks—so I looked around for recruiiing material. You know a man on recruiting service gets a "bob" or shilling for every recruit he entices Into joining the army, the recruit is supposed to get this, but he would not be a recruit It he were wise to this fact, would he? Down at the end of the bar was a young fellow in mufti who was very patriotic—he had about four "Old Six" ales aboard. He asked me if he could Join, showed me his left hand, two fingers were missing, but I said that did not matter as "we take anything over here." The left hand is the rifle hand as the piece is carried at the slope on the left shoulder. Near* ly everything in England is "by the left," even general traffic keeps to the port side. I took the applicant over to headquarters, where he was hurriedly examined. Recruiting surgeons were busy in those days and did not have much, time for thorough physical examinations. My recruit was passed %s "fit" by the doctor and turned over to a corporal to make note of his scare. I was mystified. Suddenly the corporal burst out with, "Bllme me, two of his fingers are gone." Turning to me he said, "You certainly have your nerve with you, not 'alf you ain't, to bring this beggar In." The doctor came over and exploded, "What do you mean by bringing in a man in this condition?" Looking out of the corner of my eye I noticed that the officer who had recruited me had Joined the group, and I could not help answering, "Well, sir, I was told that you took anything over here." I think they called it "Yankee impudence," anyhow it ended my recruiting. In training quarters, "somewhere In France," Empey hears the big guns booming and makes the acquaintance of the "cooties." Read about his expert* ences in the next installment NOW RAISES 600 CHICKENS (TO B E CONTINUED.) HAD CONFIDENCE IN EDISON Negro Was Sure That Wonderful Bul« let He Invented Would Never Kill American Soldiers. Two negroes were walking along a New York street discussing the wonderful inventions brought about by the war. "Yea, sah," one said, "an* a friend of mine who knows all about it says dls Leah man Edison has done gone and Invented a magnetized bullet dat can't miss a German, kase ef dere's one la a hundred yards de bullet is drawn right smack against his steel helmet Yes, sah, an' he's done invented another one with a return attachment Whenever dat bullet don't hit nothia' it comes right straight back to de American lines." "Dat's what I call Inventing ex* claimed the other. "But, say, how about dem comln' back bullets? What do dey do to keep 'em from hittln' ouah men?" "Well, mah frien' didn't tell me about it, but ef Mr. Edison made 'em you can bet youah life he's got 'em trained. You don't 'spose he'd let 'era kill any Americans, do you? No, sah.

In Virginia's early days communication with the mother country was, of course, wholly by ships, and when one was expected the colonists were all eagerness for the news from home. On the occasion of one. it may have been the first of a certain Captain Newport's expected return from England, at or near the place now bearing his name, a large number of persons collected to receive "Newport's news.0 Hence the name, now shortened to Itf present form. The Sardine. The fresh sardine is a beautiful little fish. The scales on its beck are an Iridescent blue-green, the exact tint which the sea so often takes, while beneath the scales there shows up the most wonderful peacock-blue. There are bars on its back and sides when It first comes out of the water, like those of the mackerel, but they seem to fade and disappear the moment it Is exposed to the air. The real of its body is silver. After Being Relieved of Or* ganic Trouble by Lydia E. Pinkhazn's Vegetable Compound. Oregon, 111.—"I took Lydia B.

"SOME SORT OF A BISHOP" Eminent Churchman May Safely Leave the Classification to the Many Who Know Him. Bishop Greer of New York, who is a great friend of Bishop Whitehead* of Pittsburgh, entered a restaurant recently and sat down opposite another man. After a time he and the man engaged In a casual conversation and the stranger tinaliy said: "You look somewhat like a clergyman, sir." "Well, I am one," said Bishop Greer, "Oh," said the raan, "is that so? Episcopal, 1 should imagine?" "Yes," nodded the bishop. "Your work is here in New York, I suppose?" the man continued. "Yes," said the bishop. "Just what is your parish?" asked the stranger. "Well," answered Bishop Greer, "1 really haven't any definite parish. I— er—" "Some sort of a bishop, then, I assume,' said the man. The waiter nt this time brought Bishop Greer his check. "Y<*s," he answered as he rose to go, "I'm some sort of a bishop." As She Understod It. Mary's mother was buying some changeable silk. After the purchase was made Mary said: "Mamma, do they call that changeable because you can take it back tomorrow if you wanf to?" Busy Enough. "What Is his hobby?" "Driving his car. His life work is tinkering under it." The roan who has no self-respect cannot respect others. Finest New Year Celebration.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, Mar. .T1J91S v ,: * • ^ ^ P '^vm No. 12 Government Encourages Michrgan Farmers T o P l a n t B e a n s T h i s C o m i n g S e a s o n L*f t year the nation waa COD • fronted by two serioaa problems, the moat isaportant being to market and save tke wet weather dam aged beans in Michigan and New York. The second, almost as important, was to secure a market for the excess crop of oolored beans The Food Admininistration worked out the problem in the following mauner:' It waa almost a certainty that the consuming public would not purchase heavily of this weather damaged wet stock as long as it could buy at equal or lower prices strictly dry original stock from other states. Further, the government knew accurately the quantity required for our army, navy and over-aeas forces. These requirements amounted to practically all of the available good, dry etock in the country and since our own 6oldiers are offering their lives for us they are entitled to the very best food we can produce. In order to insure these requirements, the army and navy commandeered the entire crop of good California white beans at a price of 11¾ cents per poaod to the growers. They also took over by commandeer all imported white beans cf good quality at an average price of 9} cent* pec pound on the docks in this country. This left two states, Michigan and New York, to take eare of onr •entire civiliain requirements on white beans. In addition, the tin plate aitnation waa very serious and all canners restricted te fifty per cent of their normal output of dry beans, the Food Ad .ministration adviaed them that as a food conservation measure, per* mite wonld be issued freely for the -canning of wet beans. The army and navy went further even than this and, although they needed large quantities of canned goods and owned the dry stock, they retused to release the'dry beans they had secured by commandeer and •asked all canners to fill their requirements from available stock left in this country. This unprecedented demand ha* kept all Michigan and New York shipping elevators cleaned up of ;|upplie8 as fast as the farmers .jrould sell, and in spite of poor iuality of stock has given these farmers a higher market than any other producing lection. The world-wide demands for food now exceeds the production ability of onr farmers with their present labor difficulties, and Beans, particularly, with their protein content, are especially needed With a continuation of this war every grower of beans will be assured of an active market at good prices. They should also be acquainted with the efforts of the Food Administration to get these beans to the consumer in as economical way aa postiihle. Any grower or operator can. make suggestions to assist in handling the crop and the Food A'douni station will carefully consider them.

Such is (lie striking title to u welltlaied cartoon iu un uKricultural paper, showing the War Lord iu salute to tlus fanner. The meaning ol it is thai without the assistance that the farmer renders In the matter of providing food for the array the fighting ability of that body would be proportionally decreased. While the army is fighting, the farmer Is busy. The promptness with whU'h he sprang into the breach was a patriotism equal to that of the man who enlisted and the farmer's record in this particular was worthy of the high record that has become his. All over the United States the appeal Is being met by more production. Fields are enlarged, intensive agriculture has taken the place of gllpshod methods, more cattle are being fattened, more hogs grown, veal and la rub have become scarce commodities/ This is all In keeping with the food-controller's demands, and with the heartiness that is now prevalent, it would seem as if the requirements of the boys at the front and the allies in Europe would be fully met. Not only are the tilled acres of the Tutted States being brought into requisition, but the Wild pasture lands are doing tribute with their cattle and sheep. Working in conjunction with the United States, Western Canada is also doing its share and a pretty large share it is, too. By an arrangement with the United States Government it will now be possible through its employment bureau to secure for the Western Canada lields such help as can be spared. It Is thought in lhi« way Canada will have its help to seed Its millions of acres of wheat land fairly well met. The large number of young men of the farms who have enlisted and gone to the front has left many of the Western Canada farms weak in the- mutter of man power. This means that Canada can take all that the United States can spare. The wages will be good and the houslug comfortable. In addition to this the free homestead lands of Western Canada offer the greatest Inducement to the man with limited means who Is willing to undergo some of the hardships naturally accompanying this enterprise. There is also the large area of uncultivated lands that are waiting the man with sufficient means to purchase and equip. And this is not expensive. The cheap hinds are cheap and the terms very reasonable. Equipped with tractor or horse power the cultivation cost is slight when the return is considered. Yields of wheat varying from 20 to 40 bushels per acre may be relied upon, and with a set price of over $2.00 per bushel, It Is an easy matter to arrive at the cost. Production, including Interest on land, has been estimated at figures not exceeding ten dollars an acre. With a twenty bushel yield, at a two dollar price—forty dollars. Ten from forty and you have the profits many farmers made in Western Canada the past year. The Dominion and Provincial Governments are working conjointly In an Increased production propaganda. Among the important steps that have been taken to bring this about is the recent order by which it is made possible to take Into Canada tractors that cost fourteen hundred dollars and less In the country of production. This will give those residing In the United States, owning lands In Canada, the opportunity to place them under cultivation at much less cost than in the post. Another Inducement is the privilege of taking sheep and cattle in free of duty. Automobiles form a necessary part of the outfit of a good many farmers that would like to move to Canada. These are now accorded free duty. Provision Is also made that those requiring seed and unable to obtain It In any other way, may get It from the Government. So from this It will be seen that It Is not only the fertile lands of Western Canada that invite the settler, but the ease and cheapness with which a fanner may establish himself.—Advertisement.

Its fairness auci fragrance sung by the poet, its perfection of grace painted by the artist, the Illy is the queen of spring blossoms chosen to symbolize the resurrection us It is celebrated at Easter. Some years ago the United States department of agriculture took note of this annual exodus of American funds, growing larger year by year, and since then it has been taking effectual measures to keep those millions at home. In the case of the Easter lily, the narcissus, the hyacinth and the tulip, with other spring blossoms used at Easter in immense quantities, the government's experiments have proved that all can be grown in this country, not only as well as abroad, but better, and the department scientists are now working out the problems of how and In exactly what sections of the country Kaster lilies and other bulbous plants and delicate flowering shrubs may be grown to best advantage. Of lute years the Bermuda lily bulbs have given the United States florists trouble by reason of disease, which has caused great uncertainty as to result and general deterioration In the stock, a condition attributable, It Is believed, to continuous planting In the same spot.' On account of tills difficulty with the lily from Bermuda this country's trade has been transferred in large part to Japan, some of whose Islands now supply the larger part of the American trade in Easter Hlles. Easter lilies are shipped into the larger cities of the East, such as New York, Boston and Philadelphia, during the months of July and August. Each of these cities receive hundreds of thousands of bulbs annually and distribute them to the trade, the larger florists taking from ten thousand to fifteen thousand bulbs a season. The price of the bulbs Is In the neighborhood of a hundred dollars a thousand. The florist loses no time in planting his precious freight In a temperature where only the root will start. To obtain perfectly healthy American stock from which to make Its experiments in bulb culture In this country the department of agriculture some years ago planted the seed of the lillum longlflorum, which Is the botanical name of our familiar Easter Illy. From this planting there resulted several pounds of seed, with which experiments were made In sections of Florida, Mississippi, the state of Washington, Texas and Cattfornfa. The result has been the production of stronger, healthier and handsomer Raster lilies thsn can be grown from Imported bulbs. Federal experimentation proves thst climatic and soil conditions In southern California are such as to favor the production of the finest Easter lilies In the world. The department of agriculture Is alio expending Its efforts upon other plants, whose bulbs and roots are Imported each year at a cost of-nearly three million dollars to supply the Raster trade. These Include hyacinths, tulips and narcltsl, with the decorative u If DO dealer in jour town, write avSt* tofctrti' lat C*. tOf tnai tame. WMkufca, Vs. EASY MATTER TO EXPLAIN y3BDCmftZ2ZQZ& azaleas, rhododendrons, lilacs and other blossoms, which are brought to the zenith of their glory at Eastertide. After a series of tests made by the department of agriculture In various states it has been found that tulips, narcissi and hyacinths can best be produced In this country In certain parts of the Pacific coast, these being northwest Washington and northwest California, and that there are areas In those states extensive enough to supply all the bulbs this country needs. with soil and climatic conditions even more favorable for the culture of "Dutch bulbs*' than the Haarlem bulb district of Holland. Said one of the scientists of the department of agriculture in a recent talk on the subject of bulb culture in America for *he home trade: "One of the main deterrent factors with those who contemplate entering the business in this country, where It seems probable they can produce a better article than the imported, is that of the extensive band labor as yet necessitated In bulb culture. The biggest Job In this connection is digging. As the business expands, however, it Is more than likely that the American farm Implement manufacturer will provide machinery to overcome this need, as he has In the.past overcome every other obstacle In farm operation. Of late It is reported that machinery Is coming into use even In Holland to a limited extent In bulb culture on account of the scarcity of labor due to war conditions." Whether due to the war, or to a knowledge of the tendency on the part of the United States to keep its bulb trade at home, a number of Holland and Belgium bulb and decorative plant growers have emigrated to the Pacific coast and have entered the business with a view to assisting In the American supply of Easter flowers. One grower of azaleas and araucarias who en me from Ghent in Belgium Is endeavoring to establish this business in California. He made the statement to the effect that he found conditions here superior to those in Belgium. One great advantage, he finds, is that plants bud here fully several weeks before they tsnsh budding ta Ghent, enabling than to be forced for the tarty American market He states that America imports annually between two and three millions of decorative plants, including rhododendrons, aseless, hofllts, *oaweods and araucarias, all of which can be produced rfere In commercial quantities at a cost which will defy competition, provided the transcontinental railways will encourage the development of right rates, which will enable dealers to use the home-grown products. ! There Is one widely used Easter flower, formerly imported from Holland, which has been thoroughly established In this country, having been brought to bloom in sufficient quantity to supply the entire demand. This Is the freesia, prized by florists and people alike as a beautiful and fragrant Easter blossom. A talk with one of the horticultural experts of the department of agriculture resulted In some Interesting facts concerning the feesla. "The plant Is a native of South Africa," he said, "but had been commercially grown in Holland up to about fifteen years ago, when It was found that it could be produced here more satisfactorily than It could be Imported. We have produced strains larger and finer and very much better fitted for our. use than the original flower. It has been developed in Florida, to some extent In Georgia, but to the greatest extent In California, where It Is cultivated in great sweetscented fields In Santa Ana, Santa Barbara, Pasadena and Sau Gabriel. These towns are the center of our home-grown freesia, now thoroughly Americanized and supplying our entire trade. '•The original colors of the freesia were white, known as 'Purity/ and a rather lurid yellow, but about fifteen years ago a few plants of a pale pinktinted species, known as Treesta armstrongil/ were found in Natal, South Africa. It was a small, lilac pink flower, but scentless. This species seems to be extremely, rare in nature and It was eagerly seised upon by propagators In different parts of the world. "Italy, France, Holland, England and this country all procured specimens, and by hybridising and Intercrossing the seedlings a great range of beautiful colors have been produced. They ran from cream to golden yellow on one hand, and to pale pink and light crimson on the other, and even a bras has been developed. These varieties are still scarce, but they are known to the trade, which has termed them 4ralnbow freesia a/ They exMle a dell, cats aprlcot-Uke fragrance. Similarity of Spelling That Really Looked Suspicious Quite a Simple Thing, According to Tommy.

So I let him stay home. Yours resptlvely , Misses Smith." The master was a trifle suspicious. "Tommy," said he, sternly, "who wrote that note?" "Why—er—mother did, if you please, sir." "Well, I must say that some of the spelling is remarkably like the spelling you generally give me." But Tommy was equal to the occasion. "Yes, sir," said he, cheerily. "Everyone says that, as far as spelling Is concerned, I'm the image of my mother."— London Tit-Bits. No Cause for Alarm. "Were you frightened, my darling?" asked a doting mother of her little one, who had been lost and was found after several hours of diligent search. "Why, no, mamma," replied the child, wonderlngly, "I wasn't lost; it was my home that was lost." But the best airship on earth may be good in the air.

CHAPTER XV—Continued. —17— "Yoa're the nicest old things that ever lived," said Lark, still laughing, but with great warmth and tenderness In her eyes and her voice. "But you can take the stockings back and save your money If you like—we love you just a s much." But this the happy donors stoutly refused to tlo. The twins had earned this wealth of hose, and finally, wiping their eyes, the twins began to smooth their hair and adjust their ribbons and belts. "What's the matter r "Where are you going?" "Will you buy the rest of us some silk stockings?" queried the family, comic-opera effect. "Where are w e going V Carol repeated, surprised, seeming to feel that nnyone should know where they were going, though they had not spoken. "We're going to call on our friends, of course," explained Lark. "Of course," said Carol, jabbing her hairpins In with startling energy. "And we've got to hurry. We must go to Hattle's and Jean's and Betty's and Fan's and Alice's and—say, Lark, maybe we'd better divide up and each take half. It's kind of late—and w e mustn't miss any." "Weil what on earth!" gasped Prudence, while the others stared In speechless amazement "For goodness' sake, Carol hurry. We have to get clear out to Minnie's tonight, If we miss our supper." "But what's the idea? What for? What are you tnIking about?" "Why, you silly thing," said Carol patiently, 'fcve have to go and tell our friends that we've got four pairs of silk stockings, of course. I wouldn't miss this afternoon for the world. And we'll go the rounds together, Lark. I want to see how they take it," she smiled at them benignly. "I can imagine their excitement And w e owe it to the world to give It all the excitement we can. Prudence says so." Prudence looked startled. "Did 1 say that?" "Certainly. You said pleasure—but pxcitement's very pleasing, most of the time. Come on, Larkie, we'll have to walk fast." And with a fond goodby to the generous family, the twins set out to spread the joyful tidings, Lark pausing At the door just long enough to explain gravely, "Of course, we won't tell *hero—er—Just how it happened, you know. Lots of things in a parsonage need to be kept dark. Prudence says so herself." CHAPTER XVI. The Girl Who Wouldn't Propose. tt took a long time for Carol to recover from the effect of Lark's disloyalty, as she persisted In calling it. For severahweeks she didn't twinkle at all. But when at last the smiles came easy again, she wrote to Mr. Duke, her P'fessor no longer, but now a fullfledged young minister. She apologised sweetly for her Tong delay. "But you will forgive me when you have read this," she wrote. "Cupid Is working havoc In our family. Of course no one outside the home circle knows yet, but I insisted on telling you because you have been such a grand good friend to us for so long. We may seem young to you, because you can't forget when we were freshmen, but we are really very grown up. We act quite mature now, and never think of playing jokes. But I didn't finish my news, did I f 'It Is Jim Forrest—he was in high school when we were. Remember him? Larkie and I were out to spend a week, and—but I needn't go Into particulars. I knew you would be Interested. The whole family Is very happy about It; he Is a great favorite with everyone. Rat how our family is going to pieces 1 Still, since it Is J i m — ! H e Is nice, isn't he? But you wouldn't dare say no." Carol's eyes glittered wickedly as she sealed this letter, which she had penned with greatest care. And a few days later, when the answer came, she danced gleefully up t h e stairs—not at all "mature" in manner, and locked the door behind her while she read: Dear Carol: Indeed I am very interested, and I wish you all the joy In the world-. Tell Jim for me how very much I think he Is to be congratulated. He seams a fine fellow, and I know you will be happy. It w w a surprise, I admit—I knew be was doing the very devoted—bat you have seemed so young to me, alwaya. I can't imagine you too grown up for jokes, though yott do sound more "mature" In this tetter than yen have before, Lark will be lonely, t am afraid.

DAVID A. DUKECarol lay down on the bed and crushed the letter ecstatically between her hands. Then she burst out laughing. Then she cried a little, nervously, and laughed ugain. Then she smoothed the letter affectionately, and curled up on the bed with a pad of paper and her father's fountain pen to answer the letter. My Dear Mr. Duke: However In the world could you make such a mistake. I've been laughing ever since I got your letter, but I'm vexed too. He'a nice, all right; he's just fine, but I don't want him I And thtnk how annoyed. Lark would be If she could see it. I am not engaged to Jim Forrest,—nor to any one. It's Lark. I certainly didn't say tt was I, did I? We're, all so fond of Jim that it reaily Is a pleasure to the whole family to count him one of us, and Lark grows more deliriously joyful all the time. But I! I know you're awfully busy, of course, and I hate to Intrude, but you must write one little postal card to apologise for your error, and IT! understand how hard you are working when you do not write again. Hastily, but always sincerely, CAROL. Carol Jumped up and caught up her hat and rushed all the way downtown to the postofHce to get that letter started for Danville, Illinois, where the Rev, Mr. Duke was located. Her face was so radiant, and her eyes were so heavenly blue, and so sparkling bright that people on the street turned to look after her admiringly. She was feverishly Impatient until the answer arrived, and was not at all surprised that It came under special Then She Smoothed the Letter Affectionately and Curled Up on the Bed. delivery stamp, though Lark lifted her eyebrows quizzically, and Aunt Grace smiled suggestively, and her father looked up with sudden questioning In his face. Carol made no comment, only ran up to her room and locked the door once more. Carol, you awful Uttle scamp, you did that on purposV and you know It. You never mentioned Lark's name. Well, if you wanted to give me the scare of my life, you succeeded. Of course, I don't want to lose my little chum, and I knew very well that no man in his proper senses would allow his sweetheart to be as good a comrade to another man as I want you to be to me. Of course I was disappointed. Of course I expected to be busy for a while. Of course I failed to see thf sterling worth of Jtm Forrest I see It now, though. I think he's a prince, and as near worth being in your family as anybody could be. I'm sure we'll be great friends, and tell Lark for me that I am waxing enthusiastic over his good qualities even to the point of being Inarticulate. Tell her how happy T am over it, a good deal happier than I've b >on for the past several days, and I am wishing them both a world of joy. I'm having one myself, and I and It well worth having. I could shake you. Carol, for playing such a trick on me. I can just see you crouch down and giggle when you read this. You watt, my lady. My turn is coming- I think I'tL_run down to Meunt Mack next week to see my unclehe's not very welL Don't have any dates. Sincerely, D. D. And Carol laughed again, and wiped her eyea. The Rev. Mr. Duke's devotion to big elderly uncle in Mount Mark was a moat beautiful tiring to sea. Every few weeks he 'ran down for a f e w days," and if be spent moat of his time n y counting his uncle's symptom* before the sympathetic Starra, n o o n * t o o k ) ] be surprised at t h a t He and Mr. Starr naturally had much in common, both ministers, and both—at any rate, he w a s very devoted to his uncle, and Carol grew up very, very fast, and smiled a great deal, but laughed much leas frequently than In other days. There was a shy sweetness about her that ma'fe her father watch her anxiously. "Is Carol sick, Grace 7" he asked one day, turning suddenly to his sister-inlaw. She smiled curiously. "N-no, I think not, W h y r "She seems very—sweet" "Yes, She feels very—sweet," was the enigmatic response. And Mr. Starr muttered something about women and geometry and went away, shaking his head. And aunt Grace smiled again. But the months passed away. Lark, not too absorbed in her own happiness to find room for her twin's affairs, at last grew troubled. She and Aunt Grace often held little conferences to- -pether when Carol was safely out of the way. "Whatever do you suppose Is the matter?" Lark would wonder anxiously. To which aunt always answered patiently, "Oh, just w a i t He Isn't sure she's grown-up enough y e t " Then there came a quiet night when Carol and Mr. Duke sat In the living room, idly discussing the weather, and looking at Connie, who was deeply immersed In a book on the other side uf the big reading lamp. Conversation between them lagged so noticeably that they sighed with relief when she finally laid down her book, and twisted around in her chair until she had them both in full view. "Books are funny," she began brightly. "I don't believe half the written stuff ever did happen—I don't believe it could. Do girls ever propose, Mr. D u k e r No one ever proposed to me," he answered, laughing. "No?" she queried politely. "Maybe no one wanted you badly enough. But I wonder if they ever do? Writers say so. I can't believe It somehow. It seems so — well — unnecessary, some way. Carol and I were talking about It this afternoon." Carol looked up startled. "What does Carol think about ltr" he queried. "Well, she said she thought In ordinary cases girls were clever enough to #ct what they wanted without asking for it.H Carol moved restlessly In her chair, her face drooping a little, and Mr. Duke laughed. "Of course I know none of our girls would do such a thing." said Connie, serene In ner family pride. "Bat Carol says she must admit she'd like to find some way to make a man say what anybody could see with half an eye he wanted to say anyhow, only—" Connie stopped abruptly. Mr. Duke had turned to Carol, his keen eyes searching her face, but Carol sank In the big chair and turned her face away from bira against the leather cushion. "Connie." she said, "of course no girl would propose, no girl would want to—I was only joking—" Mr. Duke laughed openly then. "Let's go and take a walk, shan't we, Carol? It's a grand night" "You needn't go to get rid of me," said Connie, rising. "I was just going anyhow." "Oh, don't go," said Mr. Duke politely. "Don't go," echoed Carol pleadingly. Connie stepped to the doorway, then paused and looked back at them. Sudden illumination came to her as she scanned their faces, the man's clearcut, determined, eager—carol's shy and scared and—hopeful. She turned quickly back toward her sister, pain darkening her eyes. Carol was the Inst of nil the fclrls—it would leave her alone —and he was too old for her. Her lips quivered a little, and her face shadowed more darkly. But they did not see It. The man's eyes were Intent on Carol's lovely feature*, and Carol was studying her slender fingers. Connie drew a long breath, and looked down upon her sister with a great protecting tenderness in her heart. She wanted to catch her up in ber strong* young arms and carry her wildly out of the room—away from the man who sat there—waiting for ber— Carol lifted ' r face at that moment and turned slowly toward Mr. Duke. Connie saw her eyes. They were luminous, Connie's tense figure relaxed then and she turned at once toward the door. **1 am going," she said in a low voice. But she looked back again before she closed the door after ber. "OaroV* she raid In a whisper, "you— von're a darling. 1—Pve always thrtUght so." Carol did not hear her—she did not hear the door closing behind her—she had forgotten Connie was there. Mr. Duke stood up and walked quickly across the room and Carol rose to meet him. He put his anna about her, strongly, without hesitating. "Carol," he said, "my little songbird"— and he laughed, but very tenderly, "would you like to know how to make me say what you know I want to say?" **I—I—" she began tremulously, clasping her hands against her breast, gnd looking intently, us if fascinated, at his square, firm chin so very near her eyes. She had never observed it so near at hand before. She thought It was a lovely chin—In another man she would have called it distinctly "bossy." "You would try to make me when you know I've been gritting nay teeth for years, waiting for you to get grown up. You've been awfully slow about It, Carol, and I've been In such a hurry for you." She rested limply In his arms now, breathing In little broken sighs, net trying to speak. "You have known it a long time, haven't you? And I thought I was hiding it so cleverly." He drew her closer In his arms. "You are too young for me, Carol," he said regretfully. "I am very old." "I—I like 'em old," she whispered shyly. With one hand he drew her head to his shoulder, where he could feel the warm, fragrant breath against the "lovely chin." "You like 'them' old," he repeated smiling. "You are very generous. One old one Is all I want you to like." But when he leaned toward her lips, Carol drew away swiftly. "Don't be afraid of me, Carol. You didn't mind once when I kissed you." He laid his hand softly on her round cheek. "I am toe old, dearest, but I've been loving you for years, I guess. I've been waiting for you since you were a little fresh' man, only I didn't know it for a while. Say something, Carol—I don't want you to feel timid with me. You love me, don't you? Tell me, if you do." "I—I." She looked up at him desperately. "I—well, I made you soy It, didn't i r "Did you want me to say it, dearest? Have you been waiting, too? How long hare you—" "Oh, a long time; since that night among the rose bushes at the parsonage." "Since then?" "Yes; that was why tt didn't break my pledge when you kissed me. Be* cause I—was waiting than." "Do yon love me7" "Oh, P'fessor, don't mnke me say It right out In plain English—not tonight I'm pretty nearly going to cry now, and—" She twinkled a little then, like herself, "you know what ery* ing does to ray complexion." But he did not smile. "Don't cry," he said. "We want to be happy tonight You will tell me tomorrow. Tonight—" "Tonight," she said sweetly, turning In his arms so that her face wgs toward him again, "tonight—" She lifted her arms, and put them softly about his neck, the laces falling back and showing her pink, dimpled elbows. "Tonight, my dearest—" She lifted her lips to him, smiling. T H E END. Relax and R e s t The habit of relaxing Is an excellent one, especially Just a while previou* to sleeping time, for In this wny one prepares the mind and body ^for that subconscious lapse which restores health and vitality. One way to Induce relaxation and sleep is n fresh wholesome condition of body, nnrl MO the matter of the daily hath Is nn Important detail to be considered. Indeed, very often when body and mind seem too weary to rest the hot or cold bath proves the one thing that will induce sleep, for, besides cleansing the body, it settles and calms the nerves, and consequently Invites relaxation. The Unspeakable Turk. This expression came into guieral use during the Bulgarian agltatron of 1876, on its appearance in a published letter of Carlyle's to George Howard, M.

Conferences of packers, where prices have been discussed, have been held at the urgent request and in the presence of representatives of either the Food Administration or the Council of National Defense. And yet the packers have been accused of committing a felony by acting in collusion on Government bids! We have done our best, with other packers, large and small, to comply with the directions of the United States Food Administration in all particulars, including the furnishing of food supplies for the U. S. Army and Navy and the Allies, now being handled through the Food Administration. We will continue to do our utmost, under Government direction, to increare our production and assist the Food Administration. W e consider mat the opportunity to co-operate whole-heartedly and to our fullest powers with this branch of the Government is our plain and most pressing duty. The Trade Commission Attorney has, by false inference and misplaced emphasis, given to disconnected portions of the correspondence taken from our private files and read into the Record, a false and sinister meaning with the plain purpose of creating antagonistic public opinion. The services of the packers of the United States are most urgently needed, and I regret exceedingly that w e should at this time have to spend our efforts in defending ourselves against unfounded, unproved, and unfair assertions such as are being daily made public. dLXofiunftT.

WHY WORRY ABOUT CONCURRENT LEGISLATION? The antiprohibitionlsts are making a fearsome bugaboo out of the difficulties that supposedly will arise from concurrent enforcement of the prohibition amendment by federal and state governments. They suggest the possibility of the Inflicting of a double conviction for one crime, a conflict between the laws of the state and federal government, etc. As a matter of history, concurrent legislation by the federal and state governments has been tested and found to work successfully. Attention was called to this fact by Congressman E. Y. Webb at the time of the hearing and vote on the amendment in the house: "Counterfeiting Is peculiarly a national offense," said Mr. Webb, "because it is offensive to the integrity of the national money, and yet nearly all the stutes have statutes condemning and punishing counterfelting. But there the jurisdiction is concurrent, and^if the state gets hold of a counterfeiter first the federal government sometimes lets the state handle it, but often asks the state to turn him over to the federal government. But the states have the right to enforce their laws against counterfeiters because the congress has given them the Jurisdiction." A TRAITOR TO HI8 OWN BODY. One of the strongest arguments that a physician can offer against the use of alcohol is its paralyzing effect upon the white blood corpuscles. These are our chief agents in defense against disease. When some morbid element enters the blood stream it is the duty of the white corpuscles to cast out. But the user of alcohol Is lacking In this defense because he has been a traitor to his own body, taking into It that which destroys the power of his defenders. This Is the explanation of the high death rate when pneumonia, typhoid, or other serious diseases attack habitual driukera. It also explains the reluctance of the surgeon to operate upon a heavy drinker. The patient is lacking in that vital element known as "resistance."

We must learn to share all their experiences with them if we would develop the tine feelings we wish to have at maturity. Children must not be shut off In one part of the house to remain aloof until a certain age, but ought to be part of the family circle, sharing In joys, work and minor sorrows.

Ijfce-Vay they came into port Wae toJajL outside and wait for a veff8fl£*folTow in its wake, so as not to hit x&y mines and be destroyed. Of eotirse this is only oue instance but we think it is going on often StanyJbase hosjAtals have been ordered /toj-by- ready to recieve French &njJyFaols\ Th is points io a driye/l Large American forces are going into the trenches and believe me, you people at home, And even we over here, do not know Anywhere near how many Boldiera^tere are here. A million would be my estimate.. Every town through the section I am in is fall of troops and also throughout the country may be seen cantonments ol men waiting and train ing to be fit to go after thre Huns. Ou my way to onr base hospital, a trip of about sixty miles through many small towns we saw soldiers everywhere, in towns and fields, the barracks being not over a mile or two apart.. It seems to be the opinion of the French that the Americans are not worth much as far as fighting is considered, but they like us for the amount of money we spend. They will be some mistaken when our boys get started, and in my opinion that time is not far away. There was an air raid on Paris the other night and it surely was a"bUnger". A Detroit friend of mine, from Harper Hospital Base Unit 17, was there and desciibed it to me. I guess The Frenck lost r a, plane in the fracas and couldn't , see tbe Huns on aoeoont of dark- \nesa. They went right over here ' AS we are only about two hours from Paris on the railroad and we £eard the planes go over.

They certainly deceive you at a distance. The Germans are in really bad condition when captnred,but Ihave seen hundreds of them and tbey are happy as larks to be working prisoners and not fighting, and they report big food riots in the large cities, which were subdued by machine gunfire killing civilians, mostly women and children. I doa't think we will see the end of the war if we depend on men and guns to finish it, but think it will end soon if a revolt gets started in the army and that is what we all look forward to.

It is with deep regret that the members of ths parish and all hia many friends not of his immediate flock, see him leave. During his pastorate here he has endeared himself to the people by his modest affability, his wise councils, his earnest devotion and his untiring zeal in their behalf. Many improvements to the ohurch have been made as a result of his efforts. The interior has been beautifully decorated and tbe exterior remodeled. To show in some small measure their appreciation of his efforts for the betterment of the parish in a material way, and of his loving counsel and guidance in spiritual affairs, the members of St. Mary's parish tendered Father Coyle an informal reception, Friday evening, March 8. at the rectory, at the same time presenting him with a purse of $300. It is the earnest wish of his parishttrrers and many friends that succeef attend his efforts im his new field of work. State of Ohio, City of Toledo, Lucas County, ss. Frank J.

Reports to hand Indicate that Western Canada has a vastly increased , acreage ready for crop This year over last year. The splendid open fall of li)17, irave a better opportunity for full plowing than for some years. Work In the fields was almost continuous until the end of November. In fact, in the neighborhood of Plncher Creek, Alberta, there was sufficient mild weather in January of this year to permit farmers to plow, and runny took advantage of it. A preat many Americans owning land in Canada moved up last year, and this has also helped to increase the acreage.

The Post-Intelligencer of Seattle, Wash., gives a very conservative statement of the agricultural development and opportunities In Western Canada. In its issue of December 14, 1917, It says:— "Since the beginnlng of the year , American emigration Into Canada has been greatly stimulated aceording to the reports of the Dominion author!- \ ties, and has been almost entirely made i »f> of ffermtrs attracted ay th* fertile ! nn€ oaagMBitfrely cheap wheat lands. | ~~^Wfcirtever ufa? be m\& of wheat } culture as a profitable avocation In ordinary years, since the beginning of i the war It has offered advantages quite beyond the usual opportunities.

HONOR CREDITED TO GERMAN John Peter Zenger First to Uphold the L i b e r t y of the Press in the United States. Fare plays curious tricks with men and things. J ' h e man who is given credit for first upholding llie liberty of the press In America was a German, »ays the Rocky Mountain News. It was Just 1S4 years ago that this man, John Peter Zenger, was brought to trial for a newspaper libel which restil'cd from newspajwr criticisms passed nn British public officials. Zenger foumled the New York Weekly Journal, the second newspaper in Ne\y York. The paper was published ih' the English language, and it made use ot very plain language. Zenger was arrested on a charge of libel and thrown into prison. For some time he edited his paper from behind the bars, but was at length released and continued to publish the paper until his death in 1746. The .prosecution of Zenger for libel was the first ca9e of the kind on this side of the Atlantic, and aroused great public excitement. When Zenger received acquittal it was considered a great victory for (he principles of free speech and a free press.

London—Coincident with the announcement that Leon Trotzky, bolshevik foreign minister, has resigned, come reports of a movement by the Russian social revolutionaries to overthrow the bolshevik regime, and of action by other anti-bolshevik forces looking toward the restoration of popular government in Siberia. Conclusion of peace between Russia and Rumania Is announced in a wireless dispatch from the boshevik government in Petrograd. To Trotzky, who brought about the armistice on the eastern front which resulted in the enforced peace In Russia, probably more than to any other bolshevik leader, is due the present situation in Great Russia. He was said to have cast the deciding vote*on the question whether to send delegates to Brest-Litovsk a fortnight ago. Germany in her ruthless demands shattered his program of self-determination and non-resistance, Washington—Issuance of daily lists of casualties among the expeditionary forces abroad was discontinued March 8, by the public information committee, as the result of an order of the war department, under which names of next to kin and emergency addresses ol soldiers, whose names appear on the lists, hereafter will be withheld. The official explanation is that the purpose of the order is to keep information of value from the enemy. On being informed of the order, the committee took the position that long lists of men killed or wounded would be worthless to the newspaper correspondents without addresses, and a notice was issued advising the press j that in future all information regard- ' ing casualties must be obtained , from the war department. At the adjutant-general's office it was stated the liats without addresses would continue to be sent to the committee and would be avuilable there. I While the disagreement between the committee and the department probably will be straightened out soon, so jthat "expurgated" lists may be made ! available to all who desire them, the ! purpose of the department to withhold j the addresses apparently is unalterable. I The nearest relative of every sol- Jdler killed or wounded, will be notified J by the department as heretofore. Lists, I containing simply the names of the soldiers under the heading "killed in action," "died of disease," will be sent each day to the committee on public information. To give out the lists in this shape, according to officials of the committee would bring each day a flood of requests by telephone, telegraph and mail, for specific identification of each man named in the list of the previous ! day.

Mr. Palmer asked and the committer agreed, that legislation" should be attached to the ur*eot deficiency bill empowering him to sell these propoities to any private interests—but not to the United States government, the proceeds to be held in the treasury until after the war.

Lansing -At a meeting with Henry Ford, members of the state war board entered into a contract for 1,000 "Fordson" farm tractors at $750 each, f. o. b. Detroit. This will make the price of the machine which the war board, through its county organization, delivers to the farmer, about $765. An accompanying deal by the war board is for "plow bottoms." These are the most important implement used in connection with the tractors. The plow bottom to be bought is two ploughshares fabricated together so as to plough two furrows 28 inches wide and eight inches deep. The magnitude of the deal while in financial figures reaching close to a million dollars, ia tremendous from the standpoint of big acreage. The Fordson tractors, according to the makers, will plow an acre an hour. With 1,000 tractors busy in the state this would mean 10.000 acres an hour, or 100,000 acres a day of 10 hours. But, as State Treasurer Odell put it to Mr. Ford, the tractors could be operated longer than 10 hours a day and the acreage plowed could rapidly mount into th millions.

THE RED CROSS NURSES OF EUROPf ARE GIVING TOASTED CIGARETTES TO THE BOYS To anyone who doesn't know of the wonderful advances that have been made jn the preparation of smoking tobaccos in the last tew years it may sound strange to speak of toasted cigarettes. Strictly speaking, we should say cigarettes made of toasted tobacco; the smokers of this country will recognise it more readily by its trade name, "LUCKY STRIKE "—the toasted cigarette. The American Tobacco Company are producing millions of these toasted cigarettes and these are being bought in enormous quantities through the various tobacco funds conducted by the news* papers of the country and forwarded through the Red Cross Society to the boys in France. This new process of treating tobacco not only improves the flavor of the tobacco but it seals in this flavor and makes the cigarettes keep better.

C H A P T E R X V — C o n t i n u e d . —16— The first of April in the Mount Mark parsonage was a rime of trial «rul tribulation, frequently to the extent of weeping and gnash!ug of teeth. The twins were no respecters of persons, and feeling thut the first of it& T, April rendered all tilings justifiable to all men, they made life as burdensome to their father as to Connie, and Fairy and Prudence lived in a state of perpetual anguish until the twins fell asleep at night well satisfied but worn out with the day's activities. The twins were bordering closely to the first stage of grown-up womanhood, but on the first of April they swore they would always be y o u n g ! The tricks were more dignified, more carefully planned and scientifically executed than in the days of their rollicking girlhood—but they were all the more heartbreaking on that account. The -week before the first was spent by Connie in a vain effort to ferret out their plans in order that foreknowledge might suggest a sufficient safeguard. The twins, however, were too clever to permit this, and their bloody -schemes were wrapped in mystery and burled in secrecy. On the thirty-first of March Connie labored like a plumber would if working by the Job. She painstakingly hid from sight all her cherished possessions. The twins were In the barn, presumably deep In plots. Aunt Grace was at the Ladles' Aid. So when Talry came fn, about four in the afternoon, there was only Prudence to note the vengeful glitter in her fine, clear eyes. And Prudence was so InteDt upon fenther-stltehlng the hems of pinkchecked dish towels that she did not observe It, "Where's p a p a ? " Fairy asked. "Upstairs." "Where are the twins?" "In the barn, getting ready for T H E DAY." Fairy smiled delightedly and skipped eagerly up the stairs. She was closeted with her father for some time, iind came out of his room at last with a small coin carefully concealed In the corner of her handkerchief. She did not remove her hat, but set briskly nut toward town again. i Prudence, startled out of her feath- j er-stitching, followed her to the door, i "Why, Fairy," she called. "Are you ! going out again?" ! Fairy threw up her hands. "So it ! seems. An errand for papa." She i lifted her brows and pursed up her I lips, and the wicked Joy in her face : pierced the mantle of Prudence's ah- j sorption again. "What's up?" she questioned curl- i ously, following her sister down the steps. Fairy looked about hurriedly, and then whispered n few words of ex plnnation. Prudence's look changed to one of unnaturally spiteful glee. "Good! F i n e ! Serves 'em right! You'd better hurry." "Tell Aunt Grace, will you? But don't let Connie In until morning. She'd give It away." At suppertime Fairy returned, and the twins, their eyes bright with the unholy Hght of mischief, never looked at her. They Bometfmes looked heavenward with n sublime contentment that drove Connie nearly frantic. Occasionally they uttered cryptic words about the morrow—and the older members of the family smiled pleasantly, hut Connie shuddered. She remembered so many April Fool's days. The family usually clung together on occasions of this kind, feeling there was safety and sympathy In numbers—as so many cowards have felt for lo these many years. And thus It happened t h a t they were all In the dining room when their father appeared at the door. He had his hands behind him suggestively. "Twins," he said, without preamble, " w h a t do yon want more than anything else?" "SfJfc stockings," w a s the prompt ,ind unanlmotw answer. He laughed. "Good guess, wasn't «t ?" And tossed Into their eager hands two slender boxes, nicely wrapped. T h e others gathered about them with smlllnc eyes as the twins tremulonsly tore off the wrappings. "A. Phoole's P u r e Silk Thread H o s e — G u a r a n t e e d ! " This they read from the box—neat golden lettering. It w a s enough for the twins. With fries of perfect bliss they flung themselves upon their father, kissing him rapturously wherever their lips might fouch. "Oh. papar "Oh, yon darling r And then, when they had some sort of control of their Jojr, Lark said solemnly, "Papa, It to a gift from heaven r "oi cutirst- w «j give Nuu Ule civdu, papa." ('and amended quickly, "but the thought was heaven-prompted." Fairy eliuked suddenly, and her lit of coughing interfered with the twins' gratitude to an all-suggesting Providence ! Carol twisted her box nervously. "You know, papa, it may seem very childish, and—silly to yon, but—actua l l y — w e have—well, prayed for silk stockings. We didn't honestly expect to get them, though—not until we saved up enough money enough to get them ourselves. Heaven is kinder to us than we—" "You can't understand such things, papa," said Lark. "Maybe you don't know exactly how—how they feel. When we go to Betty Hill's we wear her silk stockings and lie on the bed —and—she won't let us walk in them, for fear we may w e a r holes. Every girl in our class has at least one pair— Betty has three, but one pair's holey, and—we felt so awfully poor!" The smiles on the family faces were r a t h e r stereotyped by this time, but t h e exulting twins did not notice. Lark looked at Carol fondly. Carol sighed a t Lark blissfully. Then, with one accord, they lifted the covers from the boxes and drew out the shimmering hose. Yes—shimmering—but—they shook them out for inspection ! Their faces paled a little. "They—they are very—" began Carol courageously. Then she stopped. The hose were a fine tissue-paper imitation of silk stockings! The "April Fool, little twins," on the toes was not necessary for their enlightenment. They looked at their father with sad but unresentful reproach in their swiftly shadowed eyes. "It—it's a good joke," stammered Carol, moistening her dry lips with her tongue. "It's—one on us," blurted Lark promptly. "Ha, ha. ha," laughed Carol, slowly, dryly, very dully, "Yes—ha, ha, ha," echoed Lark, placing the bitter fruit carefully back In Its box. Her fingers actually trembled. "It's a—swell joke, all right," Carol said ; "we see that well enough—we're not stupid, you know. But we did want silk stockings so—awfully bad. But it's funny, ha, ha, ha !" "A gift from h e a v e n ! " muttered Lark, with clenched teeth. "Well, you got us that time." "Come on, Lark, we must put them sacredly away—silk stockings, you know, are mighty scarce in a pursonsaid uoilnu,^. tiu'> kindly and Connit* n o k e d :.1 I K / I u'a.s w e l l L'ull- "Yes, ha. ha. ho," and the crushed and broken twins l e f t ' t h e room, with dignity in spite of the blow. The family did not enjoy the joke on the twins. Mr. S t a r r looked at the others with ; all a / n a n ' s confused incomprehension I of a woman's notions! H e spread out j his hands—an orthodox, ministerial gesture ! I "Now, will someone kindly tell me ; what there Is in silk stockings to—" He shook his head helplessly, "Silk stockings : A gift from heaven !" He smiled, unmerrily. "The poor little kids!" Then he left the room. Aunt Grace openly wiped her eyes, smiling at herself as she did so. Fairy opened and closed her lips several times. Then she spoke. "Say. Prue. knock me down and sit on me, will yon? W h a t e v e r made me think of such a stupid trick as t h a t ? " "Why, bless their little hearts," whispered Prudence, sniffing. "Didn't they look Rorry? But they were so determined to be game." "Prudence, give me my eight cents," demanded Connie. "I want It right away." "What do you w a n t it for?" "Pm going clown to Morrow's and get some candy. I never saw a meaner trick In my life! Pm surprised a t papa. The twins only play jokes for fun." And Connie stalked grimly out of the parsonage and off toward town. A more abashed and downcast pair of twins probably never lived. They s a t thoughtfully in their room, "A. Phoole's Silk T h r e a d H o s e " carefully hidden from their h u r t eyes. "It was n good Joke," Lark said, now and then. "Yes, very," assented Carol. "But silk stockings, L a r k l e T And Lark squirmed wretchedly. "A gift from h e a v e n " she mourned. "Keir they must be laughing J" But they did not laugh. Connie came back- and shared h e r candy. They thanked her courteously a n d invited her t o sit down. They they all ate candy a n d grieved together silently. They did not speak of t h e morning's disaster, but t h e twins understood s a d appreciated the -tender sympathy of h e r attitude, a n d although ! l l r \ very tent. The morning jiassrd drearily. The twins had lust all relish for their wellplanned tricks, and the others, downstairs, found the usually wild and hilarious day almost unbearably poky. Prudence's voice was gentle as she called them down to dinner, and the twins, determined not to show the white feather, went down at once and took- their placet*. They bore their trouble bravely, but their eyes had the surprised and stricken look, and their faces were nearly old. Mr. Starr cut the blessing short, and t h e dinner was eaten In silence. The twins tried to s t a r t the conversation. They talked of t h e w e a t h e r with passionate devotion. They discussed their studies with an almost unbelievable enthusiasm. They even referred, with stiff smiles, to "papa's good Joke," and then laughed their dreary "ha, ha, ha," until their father wanted to fall upon his knees and beg forgiveness. Connie, still solicitous, helped them wash the dishes. The others disappeared. Fairy got her hat and went out without a word. Their father followed scarcely a block behind her. Aunt Grace sought all over the house for Prudence, and finally found her in the attic, comforting herself with a view of the lovely linens which filled her Hope Box. "I'm going for a walk," announced Aunt Grace briefly. "All right," assented Prudence. "If I'm not here when you get back, don't worry. I'm going for a walk myself." Their work done irreproachably, the twins and Connie went to the haymow and lay on the hay, still silent. T h e twins, buoyant though they were, could not so quickly recover from a shock like this. So intent were they upon the shadows among the cobwebs that they heard no sound from below until their father's head appeared at the toj) of the ladder, "Come up," they Invited hospitably but seriously. He did so at once, and stood before them, his face rather flushed, his manner a little constrained, but looking r a t h e r satisfied with himself on the whole. "Twins," he said, "I didn't know you were so crazy about silk stockings, We just thought it would be a good joke—but it. was a little too good. It was a boomerang. I don't know when I've felt so contemptible. So I went down and got you some real silk stockings—a dollar and a half a pair— and I'm glad to clear my conscience so easily." The twins blushed. "It—it was a good joke, papa," Carol assured hlra shyly. "It was a dandy. But. all the girls at school have silk stockings for best, and—we've been wanting them— forever. And—honestly, father, I don't know when I've had such a—such a spell of indigestion as when I saw those stockings were April Fool." "Indigestion," scoffed Connie, restored to normal by her father's handsome amends. "Yes, indigestion." declared Lark. I "You know, papa, that funny, hollow, hungry feeling—when you get a shock. T h a t ' s nervous indigestion—we read it in a medicine ad. They've got pills for it. But It was a good Joke. We saw t h a t right at the start." "And we didn't expect anything like this. It—Is very generous of you, papa. Very!" But "he noticed that they made no move to u n w r a p the box. It still lay between them on the hay, where he had tossed it. E \ i d e n t l y their confidence in him had been severely shattered. He sat down and unwrapped it himself. "They a r e guaranteed," be explained, passing out the little pink slips gravely, "so when they wear holes you get a n o t h e r pair for nothing." T h e twins' faces h a d brightened wonderfully. "I will never play t h a t kind of a trick again, twins, so you needn't be suspicious of me. And s a y ! Whenever you w a n t anything so badly It makes you feel like that, come and talk it over. We'll m a n a g e some way. Of course, we're always a little h a r d up, fc»qt we can generally scrape np something extra from somewhere. And we will. Ton mustn't—feel like that— about thlufs. Just tell me about it QMa aw exs-fcind of fonny, yon know.** The twins and Connie rushed to the noose to try the "feel" of the first adored silk tTKslngs, They donned them, admired them, petted Connie, Idolised their f^her, and then removing them, tied teem carefully la dean white ttacoa pa*er and deposited then in the safest corner of the bottom drawer of their dresser. Then tbtty lay hack oa the bed. thinking happily lb* clash party Silk hloek- "'Can't you ju: look in uur new and our patent silk stockings ! -!. imagine how we'll white dresses, Lark, leather pumps- with 1 really feel there is us silk can parbed nothing set* off a good complexion well as real silk stockings!" They were Interrupted in this delightful occupation by the entrance of Fairy. The twins had quickly realized that the suggestion for their humiliating had come from her, and their h e a r t s were sore, but being good losers— at least, as good losers as real live foiks can be—they wouldn't have admitted for the world. "Come on In, Fairy," said Lark cordially. "Aren't we lazy today?" "Twins," said Fairy, self-conscious for the first time in the twins' knowledge of her, "I suppose you know it was I who suggested that idiotic little stocking stunt. It was awfully hateful of me, and so I bought you real silk stocfclngs with my own spending money, and here they are, and you needn't thank me, for I never could be fond of myself again until I squared things with you." T h e twins had to admit t h a t It was really splendid of Fairy, and they thanked her with unfeigned zeal. "But papa already got us a pair, and so you can take these back and get your money again. It was Just* as sweet of you, Fairy, and we thank you, and It was perfectly dear and darling, but we have papa's now, and—" "Good for p a p a ! " Fairy cried, and burst out laughing at the joke that proved BO expensive for the perpetrators. "But you shall have my burnt offering, too. it serves us both right, but especially me, for It was my idea." And Fairy went away feeling very gratified and generous. Only girls who have wanted stockings for a "whole lifetime" realize the blissful state of the sonage twins. They lay on the planning the most Impossible but magnificent things they would do to show their gratitude, and when Aunt Grace stopped at their door they leaped up to overwhelm her with caresses just because of their gladness. She waved them away with a laugh. "April Fool, twins," she said, with a voice so soft that it took till the sting from the words. "I brought you some real silk stockings for a change." And she tossed them n package and started out of the room to escape their thanks. But she stopped in surprise when the girls burst Into merry laughter. "Oh. you silk stockings!" Carol cried. "Three p a i r s ! Yon darling, sweet old auntie ! You would come up here to tease us. would you? But papa gave us a pair, and Fairy gave us a pair, a n d — " "They did! Why, the silly t h i n g s ! " And the gentle woman looked as seriously vexed as she ever did look—she had so wanted to give them t h e first silk-stocking experience herself. "Oh, here you are," cried Prudence, stepping quickly in, and speaking very brightly to counterbalance the gloom *he had expected to encounter. She started back in some dismay when she saw the twins rolling and rocking with laughter, and Aunt Grace leaning against the dresser for support, with Connie on the floor, quite speechless. "Good for you, twins—that's the way to take hard knocks," she said. "It wasn't a very nice trick, though of course papa didn't understand how you felt about silk stockings. It w a s n ' t his fault. But Fairy and I ought to be ashamed, and we are. I went out and got you some real, genuine silk ones myself, so you needn't pray for them any more." Prudence was shocked, a little hurt, at the outburst that followed her words. "Well, such a family!" Aunt Grace exclaimed. And then Carol pulled her bodily down beside her on the bed and for a time they were all Incapable of explanation. " W h a t is the J o k e r Prudence asked, again and again, smiling—but still feeling a little pique. She had counted on gladdening their sorry little h e a r t s ! "Stockings, stockings— Oh, such a family!*' shrieked Carol. "There's no playing Jokes on the twins," said Annt Grace weakly. 'It takes the whole family to square on. It's too expensive." Then Lark explained, and Prudence sat down and Joined the merriment, which waxed so noisy that Mr. Starr from the library and Fairy from the kitchen, ran In to investigate. -April Foot, April Fool" cried Carai "We never played a trick like T Artie—this is our , 1 £ 1 ' i II i l l : ' ' ! ; (i i n i t ' Hi ;*$;• H|i m 1 .- . ^ ^ r v > . * ^ t w r l 111 JBes, U[ •je^s'"sW 7 *« S* f-f•M .; |liU' •ifc* W ' f^m ,aJ^« HOW MRS.

Mark Twain. Mark Twain said Sir Walter Scott's heroes didn't seem human—were hard to get acquainted with, much less t o churn around with. There was no warmth or companionship in the Wav- ^r!y clique. And yet, when Mark Twain was in King Arthur's court, ho rau around mostly with the younger, impressionable set, ami about all he had to do with LaunrWot and (ialahad was to get into quarrels with them. And after Mark n ^ m c d King Arthur from slavery and di-ath, they seemed as cool toward each other as if they had merely been out on a three weeks' fishing trip together. One begins to wonder, says the Kansas City Star, if Mark met Ivanhoe and the Waver- ]y boys half way when they were Introduced, or if he merely put on those uppish airs which he showed so brazenly In the Vatican and at the tomb of Abelard and Heloise.

The most celebrated Instance of the Salic law In history Is the accession of Maria Theresa, empress of Austria", writes Fred H. Peterson In Case and Comment. She was the only child of Charles VT, who was emperor from 1711 to 1740. During his entire reign he devoted himself to assure his succession In Maria Theresa, making many sacrifices and treaties to accomplish that purpose. The Salic law excluded her from her father's throne, but In 1713 he caused an act to be passed, known as the Pragmatic Sanction, which suspended the Salic law In so far as she was concerned.

It was the first warm day since llie cold winter had eonie, and though winter was not over yet, still !he animals almost felt as though spring had really come. " ' I t feels like spring, doesn't It?' asked the white polar bear as she waved her bead, was asleep, halfv: V v W "Mr. Polar Bear scratching his face with paws as he slept. Suddenly he got up, did a little dance and then took a bath. " 'I asked, you a question,' said Mrs. Polar Bear. " ' I was sleeping my dear. What was the "quest ion?' " 'I said t h a t it felt like spring, a n d I asked you If you didn't think so, too.' " 'I think so, indeed,' said Mr. Polar iiear. 'My bath water is quite mild. I envy now our cousins up north going in the icy water. How they all do love it. Even the cubs when they are only ten days old a r e allowed to have an icy bath.'

" ' W h a t about a smart spring suit for you, Mr. Snake?' asked Mr. Garter Snake. " 'I'm being fitted for it now,' said Mr. Snake, who always puts on many airs. "As a matter of fact he was getting bis new suit just as the others were, and for that m a t t e r they were all getting suits to fit them—or r a t h e r new skins, which were growing under the old ones. * "Soon it would bo time to pull off the old ones with their noses, and then the scales would fall off their eyes. Snakes are almost blind when they are getting their now suits. To be sure they shed their skins at other times, but they think more of their spring suits than any others. "They like to call them spring suits, though to be really correct they should say their spring skins. " 'Almost time for clipping." called one pony to the other, and the other neighed and said : " 'Almost.' " 'I'm just about ready to come off in spots,' said the zebra. 'I feel as though I would shed my coat in a very short time.' " 'Just the way I feel,' said the other zebra. For all the animals shed a good deal in the spring. The snakes, of course, are t h e ones who get completely new skins, but all the rest like to do quite a bit of shedding. "The ponies a r e always clipped and the goats and sheep are sheared. They all felt it was j u s t abotit time for ft. "But the keeper knew that colder days were coming and that it was not quite time y e t " P r e t t y soon he would l>egin the spring treatment. He would mix oil in their meals to soften their skins, and he would m a k e them feel all fine and new for the warm spring and summer days. "The animals kept on talking all through the day, gossiping about how fine their new suits would be, how spfc and span they would look, how new and fresh and rich. " F o r e v e n though they don't go to tailors, dressmakers or to the shops, they too get new coats —or almost new— every spring. "And as for the snakes—they rare more about their new skins than a n y other creatures, for they don't mind not seeing for awhile in order to be decked ont anew every so often.

VISIT IS PURELY MILITARY Washington Says Trip Is Largely For Purpose of Inspection, Not Diplomatic. Washington Upon hearing ot Secretary Baker's safe arrival in France through a press dispatch from Paris, the war department on March 10, announced the secretary's visit is purely military and not diplomatic, and is for purposes of inspection and personal conferences with military officials. The department issued this statement: "A cable dispatch from Paris to the Associated Press Sunday night announced the arrival at a French port of the secretary of war. "For some time Secretary Baker has desired to visit headquarters of the American expeditionary forces. He sailed from an American port about February 27. "Secretary Baker has not determined the length of time he will re.rn.ain in France, but his stay will be long enough to enable him to make a thorough inspection of American forces abroad and to hold important conferences with American military officers. "It is expected not only will Secretary Baker visit American headquarters, but his inspection tour will cover construction projects, including docks, railroads and ordnance bases, now under way back of the American lines. "The secretary's visit is military and not diplomatic. It is essentially for the purposes of inspection and personal conference with military officials. The secretary is accompanied by Major-General W. M. Black, Lieutenant- Colonel Brett and Ralph Hayes, private secretary to Mr. Baker." It is regarded as probable the secretary will take the opportunity to investigate conditions in the field. Mr. Baker is the first member of President Wilson's cabinet to go to the battle zone. Out of his conferences, not only with General Pershing, but with leaders of the French and British governments as well, will come direct information for the president as to what is transpiring in the Allied countries to aid him in shaping his future course. Swift & Company Publicity At a recent hearing of the Federal Trade Commission there was introduced correspondence taken from the private files of Swift & Company,which showed that the Company had been considering for some time an educational advertising campaign. The need for this publicity has been apparent to us for several years. The gross misrepresentation to which we have recently been subjected has convinced us that we should no longer delay in putting before the public the basic facts of our business, relying on the fair-mindedness of the American people. The feeling against the American packer is based largely on the belief that the income and well-being of the producer and consumer are adversely affected by the packers' operations, resulting in unreasonably large profits. Swift & Company's net profit is reasonable, and represents an insignificant factor in the cost of living. For the fiscal year 1917 the total sales and net profit of Swift & Company were as follows: Sales $875,000,000. Profit* $34,650,000. This is equivalent to a $3,465. profit on a business of $87,500. If Swift 6c C o m p a n y had made no profit at all, the cattle raiser would have received ctoly one-eighth of a cent per pound more for hie cattle, or the consumer would have saved only o n e - q u a r t e r of a cent per p o u n d on dressed beef.

Children Cry for F l e t c h e r ' s Castoria of Gold' *m Lima, O.—Five persons are known to be dead, several others are reported killed, scores are injured, scores of homes were completely or partially demolished and hundreds of barns and out-buildings were razed by the tornado which traveled across northwestern Ohio Saturday, March 9. Estimates of property damage range from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000. No serious damage was done in any of the larger cities, most of the destruction having been reported from country districts. Towns suffering the most were Van Wert, Middle Point, Convoy, Lima, Deshler, Hamler, Continental, Ottawa, Findlay, Napoleon, Holgate, Miller City and Tiffin. The tornado came in the form of an old-fashioned Kansas "twister." It would swoop down, wreck farm-houses, then jump from a half to five miles before doing more damage. The small loss of life is attributed to the fact that the tornado traveled mostly through the open country, skipping towns and villages. Throughout the storm district hundreds of persons received minor Injuries. Twelve persons are reported seriously injured. Evening Things Up. "My father has on income," said Bertha proudly.

Persona who are required to file returns under ;he provisions of law and who fall to get their returns In on time are subject to severe penalties, as follows: For making false or fraudulent return, not exceeding $2,000 or not exceeding one year's imprisonment, or botJv to the discretion of the court, and, in addition, 100 per cent, of the tax evaded/ For falling to make return on time, not less than $20 nor more* than $1,- 000, and, in addition, 50 per cent of the amount of tax due. If on account of Illness or absence from home you are unable to render your return within the time prescribed by law you may obtain an extension of 30 days if a request therefor is filed with the collector of your district before the due date of the return. In this request you must state the reason why the return cannot be filed within the time prescribed by law. Collectors of internal revenue are not authorized to grant extensions of more than 30 days, but the commissioner of Internal revenue has authority to grant a reasonable extension beyond 30 days in meritorious cases. If you desire an extension of more than 80 days your request should be addressed to the commissioner and should contain a detailed statement covering the reasons which make It Impossible for you to file your return on or before April 1. The Internal revenue men are now completing their tour of the country, during which they were in touch with the people of every city and town. If you failed to get in touch with the deputy which visited your section it Is not too late to get advice. Consult your postmaster as to where the nearest deputy Is now. Get your blank form, study the directions and the requirements as shown thereon and make your return without fail if your income was sufficient to come within the bounds named in the law. It is pointed out by Commissioner Roper that it is important that the people comply with the federal laws as fully as they are complying with the drafts for men and the conservation f)t foods and fuel. "The war must be paid for," says Commissioner Roper. "Congress has as much right to conscript a just portion of income as it lias to conscript our boys. The tax for 1917 is designed to reach moderate as well as large incomes, so that all persons who are in financial position to bear a portion of the heavy government expenses can be assessed in proportion to their ability to pay. "The man who is barely making a living or barely supporting a family is not affected by the 1917 law. But the man who is able to bear a share of the burden has been reached by the new law, and he should accept his responsibility in the sflme patriotic spirit that our young men have shown in offering themselves for this great purpose of the country to make the world safe for people of all kinds to live in and to govern themselves." This tax Is one which recognizes women as on an equal basis with men, The unmarried woman or the married woman with a salary must make tax return just the same as any man. Only the woman supporting her mother or other members of her family may take out $2,000 exemption. Under the law the head of the family is the one whose earning power contributes to the family's support. Similarly a widow with small children to support can take out $2,000 exemption and $200 additional exemption for each of her children under eighteen. Thus It Is intended that the law shall work no hardship to women having to struggle to get along. But each must file return if her income is $1,000. A man whose wife dies fcnd who is left with small children to support upon a moderate income may also take full exemption under the new tax law and also claim $200 exemption for er.ch of his children under eighteen. The widower under the law is a single man and must make tax return accordingly. Married men need not file returns unless they are earning $2,000 or more. "This Is as much a national obligation as the reporting for duty of a man drafted for service with the colors," says D. C itoper, commissioner of Internal revenue, "As It stands, It Is much a matter of the man or woman's own conscience. It Is for him or for her to determine Just how far he Is liable to the tax. He must figure his own Income and If It reaches the figures named In the law moat makefaithful report upon It to the proper authority. __"Tbia, tax It dlatlncUr i_ y * r Baeaft i HERE AND THERE «•# aaaaaaasae)s)i»a i Tut?

Our Illuminating gas plants may win the war for us, according to the American Chemical society. These experts say that the only way of quickly increasing the available supply of toluol is to extract it from the nation's gas. Toluol Is the basis of trinitrotoluol, the famous British hl^h explosive T. N. T. The production in this country is confined largely to by-product coke ovens and the entire present output is contracted for. However, by quick nnd energetic action we can secure an immense supplementary supply of this vitally necessary substance by treating illuminating gns without affecting the quality of the gas appreciably.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, Mar. 7, J918 No. JO UY1NG IN CITIES flesidents Are Not as Neighborly as in Country. (Ufa In Metropolitan Municipalities la I a Battle for Existence, With No • ~ Tlmo for Sociability. r" "Who, then, is my neighbor?" the jaan "In the city pent" auks himself, AS he regards a row of similar house fronts and reflects on the fact that he (Las only a nodding acquaintance at (peat with the majority of the inmates. Interdependence is fostered by the conditions of living in the country. Ordinarily we do not need the help of the next house, near or far. But let fire come, or a destructive storm, or a predatory visitor, or a serious ill* ness, and the neighbor may be as welcome as angels, says a writer in Philadelphia Ledger. City life is often a battle of the strong, because there are crowds and there are many mouths to feed and many shuffling feet to be shod. If we let ourselves think of it, the vast multitude of Identities striving to establish themselves is almost terrifying. Where did so many people come from? Where jkre they all going? How are they to find a lodging for the night? Each of the moving swarm is the center of a circle of friends. The humblest, unless deeply unfortunate, has ties that bind him to earth and make life—in a degree—dear to him. Out of the pagan wilderness to the urban lights and roarings comes bucolic youth. What will the city do to that unsophlstlcatlon? Or In what way will Its rugged, innocent power in time come to prevail upon the city? Your shrewdest, hardest captain of business closes his eyes at his desk and Is taken back to murmurous water brooks and bees, to the aroma <rt hay, jof ktne, of burning leaves, to the r6ound of the whetted scythe or the sight of baked apples in the window of the woodshed. W*iy can't they brown flapjacks or beans or concoct apple sauce or oatmeal as they did down on the ft ilie table was always big enough (for the unexpected guest An egg or a [quart of milk was no such great event [as it Is in a city. There used to be jtlme, too, to settle the affairs of the borough and the nation, to discuss Horace Greeley and to wind the clock, petween supper and early bedtime. I We have filtration, and the vacuum leaner, and the servant question, and 11 the other city advantages. But It The first division consist* of articles formerly brought from foreign nations, largely from GermanV. while the second is made up of articles formerly made in the northern French districts now occupied by the Invader, which are now being manufactured in southern France. Interesting Experiment. Experiments just completed by tw*) French scientists have reopened that controversy whether rudimentary man* ifestations of life can be produced la. inorganic matter. These men took a] glass tube containing a solution of colloidal silica, sealed it by melting the Class and subjected tube and contents to a high temperature, long enough to sterilize them thoroughly, according to all current ideas of sterilisattott. The tube was then kept moderately warm for two months, and when; opened the contents were full of living bacteria. Objectors contend that the colloidal silica probably operates to protect bacteria originally in the solution from the effects of the heat sterilization. Rotary Tooth Brushes. Inventors seem to be paying a great deal of attention to rotary tooth brushes lately. Many patents have bee» granted on devices of this kind, son* of which are distinctly Ingenious. Some of these devices depend for the rotary movement upon the tightening and ; loosening of the grip on a pair of has> dies, and it appears that the polishing member is exceptionally well suited tc reach tooth surfaces that are well-nigh inaccessible with present tooth brushes Furthermore, there appears to be less danger of Injuring the gums with the rotary type of toothbrush, for the reason that few people take the trouble tc use the flat brush properly.

Ds«td ftoMrts1 Vat. Co., 100 Grand Avenue, Waukesha, W l i ; MIBITSSS^^H ST/HTiNG PLANTS OF CERTAIN CROPS BEFORE DANGER OF FROST HAS PASSED Cold Frame W i t h Cloth Cover, Suitable f o r G r o w i n g Plants Not Requiring W a r m t h of a Hotbed. (Prepare U by t h e U n i t e d S t a t e s Departm e a i of A g n n . l t ure.) In most sections of the South It is desirable to start plants of certain crops before the danger of frost has passed. The simplest method of starting a limited number of plants is by means of a shallow box in a south window of the dwelling. After I hi* plants uppoar, the box should be turned each (lay, to prevent t h e plants drawing toward the light. A more satisfactory method of s t a r t i n g plants is by means of hotbeds or cold frames. A hotbed b feet by G feet will be large enough for tin* average-sized garden and can be ('(instructed r a t h e r cheaply. In the colder regions of the South some form of heat should be supplied. Fresh manure from the horse stable will be found satisfactory for this purpose. Turn the m a n u r e two or three times before placing it in the bed. in order to make it uniform in composition and nierlumical condition. Make the excavation for tlu» bed about IS inches deep :ual put in 15 to IS inches of fresh manure, packing It well by trampling. Arrange a frame over the manure, so the slope will be to the south. Place 4 oi" f> inches of good garden loam over the manure and cover the frame with a hotbed sash or heavy canvas, preferably the former. The manure will heat quite rapidly for the first few days. During t h a t time ventilate the bed frequently, to allow the gases to escape and to lower the temperature. The seeds should not be planted until the t e m p e r a t u r e goes down to SO degress or S5 degrees F. After the .seeds have been planted, close attention should be given to the watering and ventilation of t h e bed. The soil should never be til lowed to dry out, hut it should not be kept water-soaked. Moisture Is necessary for the germination of the seed and for the growth of the plants, hut an excess of moisture should be avoided, as it stimulates the development of diseases, especially damping-off. W a t e r should be applied early enough in the day to allow the plants to dry before night. Ventilate the beds during the heated portion of the day, but cover them in time to insure their warming up enough to prevent chilling t h e plants during the night. In the lower South, cold frames may bp used instead of hotbeds, ami canvas or cotton cloth covers instead of glass. T h e illustration shows a type of frame commonly used In the warmer section of the South for starting plants. T r a n s p l a n t i n g . For the best results, plants started in boxes, hoth+Mis. ur cold frames should be t r a n s p l a n t e d when they reach a Uf-fght of 1 to ii inches. Transplanting' tends to produce uniform, stocky plants with a well-developed root system. The seedlings may be transplanted to boxes or to the hotbed or cold frame, to stand about 2 Inches apart each way. Some growers transplant twice before setting in the open ground. Fig. 5 shows two celery plants from the s a m e seeding. The one at the left was transplanted, while that at the right was allowed to remain in the seedbed until time for planting in the garden. H a r d e n i n g Off. I'lants growing in a honse, hotbed, or cold frame should be hardened off before they are transplanted to the garden. This can be accomplished by ventilation and exposure to outdoor conditions during the day in good weather. If the plants are in a hotbed or cold frame, the covers may be removed during the day when the weather is good and replaced toward nightfall. After danger of frosts is past the covers may he left off at night. Hy the time the plants art1 large enough to be transplanted to the garden they should be thoroughly accustomed to outdoor conditions. Such plants usually withstand the transfer to the garden with little check and few losses. Setting Plants in the Open Ground. llefore taking the plants from the bed it should he thoroughly watered and the water allowed to soak into the ground. This will insure a portion of the soil adhering to the roots and will prevent serious wilting or the checking of growth. Take up the plants with a trowel or spade and pack them in boxes or baskets in which to carry them to the held, The land should be in good condition and everything should he ready for quick operation when planting time arrives. Mark off the rows or dig the holes for the plants just before planting to prevent the drying of the soil. If possible, set the plants on a cloudy day or just before nightfa". When tile soil Is very dry it is advisable tc use a little water in the hole. The water should be applied when the hole is partially tilled with soil, and the moist earth should then be covered with dry soil to prevent baking. Plants should be set a trido deeper in the gardon than they were in the plant bed. Pack the soil thoroughly around the plants, st) as to avoid air spaces. PLAN INCREASED EGG YIELD Use of T r a p Nest and Selection of Well-Defined L a y i n g Hens W i l l Prove Profitable. j If all of our povtUvymen would trnp- I iv.'1 st their bens for two or three years | and keep nothing but well-defined laying strains of hens, the egg yield of the country would be doubled and the feed | bids for the poultry greatly reduced. !

FIELD PEA AS FORAGE CROP SMUT STILL IS WORTHLESS Well Adapted to N o r t h e r n Portion of U n i t e d States f o r Spring and Summer G r o w t h . (From the United States Department of Agriculture) One of the first crops to be planted In t h e spring—and in some cases one of t h e best—Is the field pea known In some localities as t h e Canadian field pea. It deserves even wider use than has been jriven it according to a recent publication, F a r m e r s ' Bulletin 690. entitled " T h e Field Pen as H Forajre Crop," published by the U. S. department of ajrriculture. Since t h e field pea requires a cool temperature during its growth, it is well adapted for spring and summer Uowth In the n o r t h e r n portion of the United States and in the comparatively high altitudes of the Rocky Mountain region, and for winter prowth in the lower South. It is useful on *tlie farm as a rotation crop for hay, prain, silnjre or jrreen m a n u r e , a n d the pea* may 1»e used in t h e preen s t a t e as a vegetable like garden pejTs, It Deteriorates G r a i n (t Grows in anr* Make It Sell for Less Money— Use Formaldehyde.

The world has a surplus of other materials, it would seem, from .statistics, and yet the foundation stone of conservation will extend throughout the fashionable clothes "for the period of the war." The fundamental idea of saving has so penetrated the cousdousru-ss o r o u r people, t h e propaganda is s o widespread and vital, writes Aiine UiUen- Jersey frock for young girl.

There Is money a-plenty, men hy the millions, Industries a t full speed, and yet, with wealth and resources, 100,000,000 people have turned a somersault in their attitude toward material possessions. The passion for conservation wiped Slim Little Clothes. out of existence the fashion for flowing robes made of plenteous material. Whenever a slim silhouette h a s been thrust into the fashions, whenever an extremely short and narrow skirt ha* been offered to women, critics galore have risen in their bickerings and denounced women as immodest, indecent and vain to the uttermost degree. There is no such bickering today, however. T h e critics- of women's clothes remain silent.

A few new models in serge and jersey a r e being shown, but they do not differ materially frora t h e winter output in design. However, one of the best m a n u f a c t u r e r s has used no satin In the m a k e u p of his new serge models and they depend entirely on line and detail for their distinction. One of the smart shops shows fi model in green and white checked velours with a dark green suede belt. T h e r e is a very interesting fabric being u s e d by one manufacturer.

Is extremely good-looking and tho>e g a r m e n t s rurUed in rile closer, mind it well, fur in a few weeks you may be able to swing u <m with the bravado adopted by all those women who are in war activities or would like to be. Capes, and long waistcoats that reach half way to the knees, are substitutes for coais in the absence of suits, although the really smart thing is the Eton or the bolero jacket, as far as t h e American fashions a r e concerned. The early French clothes sent to this country before the present exhibitions In Paris showed the short jacket cut much after the manner of those worn by the French soldiers l a Algiers, and often supplemented by the brilliant scarlet or yellow sash or an immense suede belt pulled through several btickles in front. The Eton jacket is not for the woman with hips, however, and unless she has been able to reduce her figure t o the proportions of a planked shad, it is wiser for her t o look upon other models with more approval. T h e r e a r e short coats that hang straight from the shoulders to a finger length below the waist and are slightly belted in such a manner that the waistline is casually defined. Because of its limitations, this short Jacket cannot be the ruling fashion. None know t h a t better than t h e French artists, so they have sent over loose coats of silk poplin, and t h e American designers have turned out a new c a p e which reaches to t h e hips, is slim in outline and fastens a t the neck with a high rolling collar.

T h e revival of silk poplin is a bit of news that appeals to the majority of women. You know, this fabric makes admirable coat suits, and with the modern activity of nearly every woman in this country, there will not be such a wide demand as usual for frocks that need constant cleaning and laundering. T h e late spring and summer will probably usher in a vast array of women dressed in silk poplin. Shantung, t h e thiDnest gaberdine, satin and dark foulard. T h e tailored suit which is adopted by such numbers of women doing active relief work, h a s already set its impress upon the fashions, and it is quite probable, despite the talk of the dressmakers, that coat suits of silk poplin in black, beige, brown and blue will rise to unusual heights of popularity. L e t us hope this may come about. D i n n e r gowns are of black, white and cream lace, and they are elaborately touched up with t h r e a d s of silver and gold. Scant lace flounces a r e draped over slim linings of satin and taffeta. Lace bodices will b e returned for usage under coat suits, and blouses t h a t fall below the waist and are girdled with vividly colored ribbons, will be added to suits of white flannel, mntelasse and jersey. By the way, white flannel has sidled into the limelight. P a l m Beach approves of it. Smart women say they like it b e t t e r than jersey.

Gas did not come out until the period between 1885 and 1875. And then only the wealthy could use it. It sold at 9&G6 per 1,000 cubic feet! The efficient Welsbaeh mantle came out ten years later, revolutionizing artificial 11- lnmination. The present era began iu 1886, when gas and electricity came Into general use. Since this time the ( a s mantle and the electric filament seen vast improvement, so that today the average family is obtaining about eighteen times as much light as the people of half a century ago had, though they pay only about three-quarters a s much for it as their grandfathers did for the dim lights of other days. v : 5 1 - i HMIa and Barrows. At one time the term harrows was applied to hills and mountains of any elevation, but was later restricted to lower elevations. Now the word applies to mounds of earth or stones Raised over graves, and designated as •epnlchral mounds. Barrows are among the most important mountains of primitive peoples. They are found In Great ftltain, other sections of Europe, In Worth America and Asia. In the more ancient barrows the bodies are found {lying extended on the ground with implements and weapons of stone or bone beside them. In barrows of later date the implements a r e of bronze, and kOQetlmes, though rarely, of Iron, while t h e remains are often Inclosed in a •tone or earthenware cist and doubled Up.' Where the body was burned the taihef were usually deposited in an I jttrn. T h e numerous barrows of North America are generally classed along th other ancient earthworks as >ds or burial mounds. Liza'U Squirts Blood From Eyes. 1 V^ajtiave about fourteen species of Wrnfd lizards in this country, and most people still call them "horned toads." Some of their habits are extremely remarkable, hul none more so than their ability to send at will a tine jet of blood from either eye. This tact Is very rarely touched upon in literature, and the average reader of the life histories of our animals has never heard of this remarkable habit, says a writer In Popular Science Monthly, iu an article entitled, "A Lizard That Squirts Jets of Blood From Its Eyes." Blood-squirting is generally indulged In when the lizard is laboring under certain states of excitement. The attack comes on suddenly, at a time when you have the lizard in your grasp. It will suddenly stiffen Its neck and throw the head upward, as the eyes bulge from their sockets. In another second you can plainly hear a peculiar hissing sound, followed immediately by the finest imaginable jet of pure blood from one or the other of it« eyes. With such force is this squirted that the tiny stream, lasting a couple of seconds, may be thrown to a distance of fully five feet. ubscribe for the Pinckney Dispatch AUCTION. f#--4 • CLINTON, Auctioneer Haying decided to discontinue farming, I will sell at public :tion on my farm, four miles Northwest of Pinckney and one half Sonth of Gilk's Cemetery H U R S D A Y , M A R C H F O U R T E E N T H , >mmencing at One O'clock.

Feed Pain, the Sentinel. Ninety per cent of all of our diseases are ushered in with pain, and In most Instances the pain is either in<he head or is very quickly reflected there. In this connection. Dr. W. H. Vail writes in the Christian Herald, it is Interesting to remember that the brain rarely suffers pain. In fact, this Is the truth with most deep seated Organs. Surgeons assure us that in operations, cutting through the brain substance causes little or no pain, and we know that hemorrhages in the brain interfere with the functions of that organ, yet cause no pain. Paradoxical as it may seem, in one sense, it is a sign of a certain degree of | health to be able to experience a head- '• ache, for It Indicates that the brain hag not lost its power to warn Its owner of impending danger. I Cats of Japan and Cuba. A statement is made by Professor Morse concerning the cats of Japan which we do not remember to have heard before; namely, thut all the cats there a r e of the Manx breed, or at least tailless. A cat's tail is used like that of a kangaroo, to balance the body when the animal reaches up with its forward limbs; hence, we are told, the Japanese believe that the cats' tails in their country were originally cut off to prevent them from standing on their hind legs to pull things down to the floor. "This idea," says the author, "is paralleled In Cuba, where the ears of a cat are cut off to prevent it from roaming in the cane fields. The sudden showers that fall In the tropics are annoying to cats, inasmuch as the rain gets Into their ears, and this they particularly loathe. Sal-Vet NOW!

For Little Brown Men. In Japan the early part of the month of May is gala time for all little Japanese boys, because ft Is at that time that the birthday of every one of them is celebrated, notes a writer. The big, general birthday party is familiarly known as the "fish festival." During the fish festival every family in which there is a boy proudly heralds the fact by a flag that floats from a pole in the dooryard. It Is desirable to have as tall and as big a pole as possible; so, in order to get this kind of a pole, it frequently happens that several families will club together and make one birthday pole do for all. This pole is then adorned with as many flags as there are little boys in the several families. An Optimist When the stock market was in the midst of a bad break which proved ruinous to many, two brokers who were caught in the pinch met and compared notes, relates the Cleveland Leader. As they talked a big, happy looking' man passed, calling out cheerily to | some friends. "Who Is he?" asked the i first broker. The other took a good look at the big fellow, whom he recognized as a plunger who had made a fortune, within a few days. "Huh," he said, "he's an optimist" "What is an optimist those days?" gloomily asked the other. Said the second broker: "The kind of a man, son, who when things a r e coming his way tells other people not to worry." § 8 g li a ft • • ».* ».: ft ft g I1 0 8 ft f&t 8 fftt fftt fftt : ; TEEPLE HARDWARE CO.

A new type of ballot box has been patented which guards against election frauds by stamping each ballot as It is deposited, by counting the votes, and by remaining closed except when operated by a special key. i This box is also provided with a small crank that Is connected with the stamping and recording apparatus. It is so made that when the locking device is released, the turning of the crank admits the ballot to the container, records the vote by adding one to the number In the open-face register, and stamps the sheets with any desired legend In such a way that two ballots cannot be cast at once and both be marked properly.

Since the beginning of the war, the nations of Europe have sent quantities of gold to our shores. So, as far as gold Is concerned, we are richer than ever before, comments a financial exchange. But gold, except that portion of it which Is made Into gold foil, or used for gilding, or made into Jewelry, or otherwise employed In the arts, has no value In Itself. Gold. In general, is only a symbol of value, of use for buying; and if the goods are not at hand to be bought, the gold is valueless. You cannot eat It. or drink It, you cannot warm yourself with It.

Agricultural Department Asks Increased Pork Production and Larger Acreage of Grain Crops. Washington, I). 0 . - The planting of an Increased acreage to spring wheat and the production of an increased supply of other food products ami of live stock, especially hogs, Is recommended in a supplementary food production program Issued by the United States department of agriculture. This program re-emphasizes and amplifies t h e food-production program for 1918 issued by the department in August, 1917, and other suggestions made In t h e fall and the first of this year regarding Increased pork production and increased production of foodstuffs In the South. Taken in connection with t h e recommendations previously made, it suggests in full the proposals which the department thinks it desirable to offer with a view to secure enough meat and dairy products, cereals, sugar and other staple and perishable foods, wool and cotton for the nation, its armies, and the allies. Tt gives suggestions for t h e approaching spring operations, based upon the latest available information as to the condition of the fall-planted crops of w-inter wheat and rye and a s to the number of meat and dairy animals reported for 1917. They represent the best thought of the specialists of t h e department who have had the benefit of advice from agricultural leaders throughout the country. Our Bert Efforts Required. "Notwithstanding an Increased nrt> duction of staple crops In t h e United States in 1917. there is need for more food," the program states. "Taking Into account our own needs, t h e needs of the nations associated with us in this war, and the needs of friendly neutral nations, our best efforts will be required to provide enough food in 1918. Whether the war continues or not, the demands on this country, because of t h e increasing population and the npeds of Europe will be great. An especially strong demand will be made on this country for meats and live stock. In 1917, notwithstanding the j many difficulties encountered, t h e farmers planted the largest acreages i In the history of the nation, harvested j | record crops of most things except j wheat, and succeeded in greatly in- | creasing the number of live stock." | "The situation is such that chief em- I phasis should be given to the produej tion of t h e great staple food products, with special stress on wheat and hogs, the leading war foods." The South is urged to provide food for its own people and feed for its live j stock and then to plant as much cotton as can well he cultivated and harvested, To raisers of hogs and beef animals the world need for meats and fats is made clear. Farmers a r e urged Resort owners fear they may \ t 0 equip soldiers. to import frog legs this sumgas would be sold at 85 cents per l.oon sharnis, of Allenville, were killed when j to join with the men on the ranges in cubic feet by t h e city.

Spring Wheat. In defiling with the question of spring wheat, the program s t a t e s : The acreage of spring wheat should be increased in order to make certain that we shall have an adequate supply of wheat f o r our own uses and to meet the needs of the allies. '•While t h e area of winter wheat sown in 1017 was the largest on record, the condition of the crop, a s reported on December 1, was the lowest ever recorded, indicating a probable production of only 540,000,000 bushels. Whether t h e actual production will be greater or less than the estimate will depend upon conditions prevailing between now and the time of harvest. If there were planted to spring wheat in the United States this year a n acreage equal to t h e sum of the record planting in each spring wheat state within t h e last ten years, there would be sown approximately 23,300,000 acres. If there should be planted an acreage equal to the sum of the record planting for each state within t h e last five years there would be sown approximately 21,000,- 000 acres. The record planting for any year was 20,881,000. in 1911. The acreage for 1917 was 18,511,000. "The department of agriculture h a s carefully studied ell these records a n d other d a t a in connection with the present w a r conditions and needs, and believes t h a t it will be possible this year to secure a n acreage in excess of t h e record acreage which w a s planted in 1811. I t is believed that increased acreages can be secured in s t a t e s a n d sections where spring-wheat production is known to be reasonably promising, and t h a t such increases c a n be made without upsetting farm plans. It is hoped that many farmers, especially in t h e northern part of t h e corn belt, will find it possible t o plant five to ten acres additional in w h e a t In some cases they will plant more. In a number of states in the eustern and central portions of the couutry where spring wheat h a s not been gruvvn in n-ceru years, t h e crop Is now being reestablished and tt is recommended lhal tins movement be encouraged. To a small extent the acreage in oats, If necessary, could be reduced in the interest of wheat. Likewise, a very small portion of t h e acreage which normally wuuld be planted to 'k corn in the northern part of the corn belt might be sown to s p r i n t wheat. If t h e acreage of spring wheat indicated for some of the states cannot be planted, t h e barley acreage, which is known to grow better in some localities, mi^ht be increased. T h e use of barley for food is increasing in this country and it is a welcome food in Lurope. Summary of Other Recommendations. Following is a summary of other important recommendations regarding cereals, meat, poultry, and perishables. Hogs. T h e number of hogs should be increased by at least 15 p e r cent during the year 1018. Sugar. Effort should be made to maintain the acreage of sugar cane and sugar beets, and to increase these areas in so far a s these crops a r e wHl established or a r e necessary to sound agricultural practice. Production of satisfactory substitutes for sugar, including sorghum, corn and cane sirup, maple products and honey can a n d should be increased. Sorghum sirup, it is pointed out, may be produced in nearly every state in the Union, and increased production of sorghum sweets would enable t h e public to conserve still further the sugar supply In the form most available for transportation to o u r soldiers. Dairy Products. T h e supply of dairy products should be maintained to meet the needs of this country and to help supply t h e increasing d e m a n d s of the allies. Poultry. Poultry production should be increased greatly, especially in back yards and on farms where waste material is available and the purchase of expensive grains and other material Is not required. Corn. An acreage of corn approximately equal to that of 1917 should be planted, with possible slight reductions in certain sections to free areas for spring wheat. Oats, Barley, Rice, Buckwheat a n d Flaxseed. T h e area in oats should be maintained, especially in regions and on soils which a r e not so well adapted to other grains, but with a small reduction to provide for increasing the wheat acreage, Barley production should be increased in regions where it grows best, especially in t h e northern edge of the corn belt and in sections north and west of t h e belt ; and rice, buckwheat and flaxseed production should be maintained and, if possible, increased, Grain Sorghums. T h e production of grain sorghums (kafir, milo, feterita, e t c ) should be increased greatly throughout t h e drier portion of the Plains region. Kafirs a r e t h e most certain grain crops in this section a n d they can be made to supplement wheat ns human food and to replace corn a s animal food. Potatoes. T h e normal acreage of Irish a n d sweet potatoes should be maintained in 1918, notwithstanding the large crops in 1917. Hay, Forage and P a s t u r e s . Wherever feasible, t h e area devoted to hay, forage and silage crops should be increased and these products should be used to n greater extent in place of grains and other concentrates, Beef Animals, T h e number of beef animals should be maintained and, In areas where it is clearly the best range and farm practice, should be increased. Beans, Peas and Peanuts. T h e production of beans a n d peas should be increased in regions to which they a r e adapted, because of their high food value, keeping qualities, a n d availability for domestic or export trade. Soy beans and peanuts should be increased In order t o supplement beans a n d peas as human food, a s a source of much needed oil, and as animal feeds. Perishables, ( a ) Market gardens near large consuming centers should be increased so a s to meet, a s nearly as possible, the needs of t h e community, and in order to obviate the necessity of transporting such products from distant points. It is important to de all t h a t is possible to relieve t h e strain upon transportation facilities. (b) T h e planting of home gardens, especially for family needs and for preserving food for future use, again should b e emphasized. U. S.

W a s h i n g t o n - The a d m i n i s t r a t i o n bill providing for g o v e r n m e n t control of railroads until 18 m o u t h s after the war, including many "short lines"., a n d appropriating a revolving fund of $500,- 000,000 for federal operation, w a s passed last Friday by the s e n a t e without a roll call and was passed on to t h e house tor action. T h e bill gives t h e p r e s i d e n t a free hand, unlimited even by la.w, in t h e control of the railroads during t h e w a r and, a s it stands now, provides t h a t the railroads shall be subject to all laws governing common c a r r i e r s , insofar a s such laws do n o t conflict with any orders issued by t h e president.

"And I put out these white dresses for you to wear, and-—" "Gracious, a u n t i e ! They button in the buck and have sixty buttons apiece. We'll never have time to fasten them," expostulated Carol, without diminishing her speed. "I'll button while you powder, that'll be time enough." "I won't have time to powder," coiled back Carol from t h e bathroom, where she was splashing the water at a reckless rate. "I'll wear a veil and powder when T pet there. Did you pack any clean handkerchiefs, auntie? I'm clear out. If you didn't p u t any in, you'd better go and borrow Connie's. Lucky thing she's not here." Shining with zeal and soap, Carol dashed out, a n d Lark dashed in. "Are there any holes in these stockings?" Carol turned around, lifting her skirts for Inspection. "Well, I'm sorry, I won't have time to change them. Did they come in the auto? Cood !" She was brushing h e r hair a s she talked. "Yes, we had a luncheon, nil pie. though. We played tennis this m o r n i n g ; we were intending to come home right along, or we'd have phoned you. We were playing with C.eorge Castle and Fritxte Zale.—la it sticking out any place?" S h e lowered her head backward for her mint to see. "Stick a pin In it, will you? Thanks. They dared us to go to the pie counter and see which couple could e a t t h e most pieces of lemon pie, the couple which lost paying for all t h e pio.

No, I won't p u t on my slippers till t h e last thing, my heel's •ore, my tennis shoe rubbed the skin off. My feet seem to be getting tender. TW»k l f s old age?" Lark now emerged from the bathroom, a n d both twins performed a flying exchange of dresses. "Who won?" "Lark and George a t e eleven pieces, and Fritzie and I only nine. So Fritzie paid. Then wo went on t h e campus and played mumble-te-peg, or whatever you call it. It is French, auntie." "Did they ask us to stay a whole week, a u n t i e ? " inquired Lark. "Yes. J im w a s wearing his new pray suit and looked very nice. I've never been out to their home. Is it very nice?" "I'm, swell !" This w a s from Carol, I.ark being less slangily inclined. "They have about sixteen rooms, and two maids—they call them 'girls'—and electric lights, and a private w a t e r supply, and—and—horses, a n d cows—oh. it's g r e a t ! We've always been awfully fond of Jim. T h e nicest thing about him is that he always t a k e s a girl frome when h e goes to class things and Hocials. I can't endure a fellow w h o walks home by himself. Jim aJwaya asks Larkle and mc first, and 1 are tajceo he jgetsj»waaa%"gge If oat boys, if they'canl t get first choice, pike «ff alone." "Now, Carol," said Aunt Grace, smiling. " B e easy on him. He's so nice it would be a shame to—" Carol threw up h e r eyes in horror. •Ttti shocked," s h e cried. Then she dimpled. "But I wouldn't h u r t .Tim for jmythinp. Pm very fond of him. Do you really think there a r e any—er— indications—" "Oh. I don't know anything about i t I'm ynst judging by the rest of the rommnnlty." Lark was performing t h e really difficult feat of putting on and buttoning her slippers standing on one foot for the purpose and stooping low. H e r fuce w a s flushed from the exertion. "Do you think he's crairy about yon, Carol?" she inquired, rather seriously, nnd without looking o p from the shoe ehe w a s s o laboriously buttoning. •*Oh, I don't know. There are a few circumstances which seem to point that way. Take that new gray suit for instance. Now yon know yourself, Lark, he didn't need a new gray s u i t and when a man gets a brand-new tm\t tor no apparent reason, yon can generally put rt down that he's waxing romantic. Then there's his mother - . f i l e ' s begun telling me ail hi* good prints, and how cute h e w a s when he w a s bom, and she showed me one of his carls sad a lot of his baby pictures— it made Jim wild when h e came in and <'atight her at it, and she tells me liuw good he L.S and how much money he's got. 'Hint's pointed, very. But I must confess," she concluded candidly, "that .lirii himself doesn't act very loverly." "He thinks lots of you, I know," said Lark, seriously. "Whenever lie's alone wirh me he praises you every minute of ihe time." " T h a t ' s nothing. When h e ' s alone with me he praises you all t h e time, too. Where's my hat, Lark? Connie wore it, the liltLe s i n n e r ! Now what shall I do?" '•Y'ou left it in t h e barn yesterday— don't you remember you hung it on the harness hook when we went out for eggs, and—" "Oh, so I did. There comes Connie now." Carol thrust h e r head out of the window. "Connie, r u n out to the I nun and bring ray hut, will you? I t ' s mi the harness hook. And h u r r y ! Don't stop to aslc questions, j u s t trot along and do a s you're told." Cavol returned again to h e r toilet. "Well, I guess I have time to powder after all. I don't suppose we'll need to take any money, auntie, do you? We won't be able to spend it In t h e country." "I think you'd better t a k e a little. They might drive to town, or go to a social, or something." "Can't do It. Haven't a cent." "Well, I guess I can lend you a little," w a s t h e smiling reply. I t was a standing joke in the family t h a t Carol had been financially hard pressed ever since she began using powder several years previous. "Are you fond of Jim, Carol?" Lark jumped away backward in t h e conversation, asking the question gravely, her eyes upon her sister's face. " H u m ! Yes, I am," w a s t h e light retort. "Didn't Prudence teach us to love everybody?" "Don't be silly. I mean If he proposes to you, are you going to turn him down, or not?" " W h a t would you advise, L a r k ? " Carol's brows were painfully knitted. "He's got five hundred acres of land, worth at least a hundred an acre, and a lot of money in the bank—his mother didn't say how much, but I imagine several thousand anyhow. And he h a s that nice big house, and nn auto, and— oh, everything nice! Think of t h e fruit trees, L a r k l e ! And h e ' s goodlooking, too. And his mother says he is always good-natured even before breakfast, and that's very exceptional, .you know ! Very ! I don't know that I could do much better, do you, auntie? I'm sure I'd look cute Ui a sunbonnet and apron, milking t h e cows ! So, boss, so, there, n o w ! So, boss!" v Why, Carol !" "But there a r e objections, too, They have pigs. I can't bear pigs! Pooooey, pooooey! T h e filthy little t h i n g s ! I don't know—Jim and t h e gray suit and the auto and the cows a r e very nice, but when I think of J i m a n d overalls a n d pigs and onions and freckles I have goose flesh. Here they come! Where's that other slipper? Oh, it's clear under t h e bed.!" She wriggled after it, coming o u t again breathless. "Did I rub t h e powder all off?" she asked, anxiously. The low honk of t h e c a r sounded outside, and the twins dumped a miscellaneous assortment of toilet articles into the battered suit-case and the tattered hand bag. Carrol grabbed her hat from Connie, leisurely strolling through t h e hall with it, and sent h e r flying after her gloves. "If you can't find mine, bring your own," she called after h e r . Aunt Grace a n d Connie escorted them triumphantly down t h e walk to the waiting car where t h e young man in the new sentimental gray suit stood beside t h e open door. H i s face w a s boyishly eager, and his eyes were full of a satisfaction that had a sort of excitement in it, too, Aoftt Grace looked at him and stfJtfdL bay,'* « h e ^ V t h t h g T H e s a t t t i I t t h e twins impartially. **8ha!l we flip a coin t o see who I get in front?" he asked them, laughing. His mother leaned out from the back seat, and smiled a t t h e girls very cordially. "Hurry, twinnies," she said, "wo must start, or we'll b e late for supper. Come in with me, won't you, L a r k i e r "What a greasy schemer she i s , " thought Carol, climbing into her place without delay. Jim placed the battered suitcase and the tattered bag beneath t h e seat and drew t h e r u g over his mother's knees. Then h e went to Lark's side, and tucked it carefully about her feet. "XV» awfully dnsty," h e said. "Ton shouldn't have dolled u p so. Shall I put your purse in my pocket? Don't forget you promised to feed the chickens— Vm counting on you t o do it for me.** Then be stepped In beside Carol, laughing into her brig' * face, and the good-by* rang back u i forth a s the car rolled away beneath the heavy arch of oak leaves that roofed In Maple avenue. The twins fairly reveled In the glories of the country through the golden days that followed, and enjoyed every minute of every day, and begrudged the hours they spent in sleep. The rime slipped by "like banana skins," declared Carol crossly, and refused to explain her camps rtaoa, day of their visit came. Supper was over at seven o'clock and Lark said, with something of wisituiness in her voice, "I'm gciing out to the orchard tor a farewell weep a!i by mysell. AIM! don't any of you disturb me I'm MJ ugly when I cry." iSo siie set out alone, and Jim, a little awkwardly, suggested that Carol take a turn or so up and down the lane with him. Mrs. Forrest stuod at the window and watched liiem, teur- I'll bet ,- ful-eyed, but with tenderness. "AJy little boy," she Said to herself, i "my little boy. Luc she's a dear, sweet, pretty girl." In the meantime, Jim was acquitting himself badly. J lis face was pale. lie was nervous, ill at ease, l i e stamuiwed when he spoke. Sell-consciousness w a s not habitual to this young man uf t h e Iowa farm. He was not iin awkward, ignorant, gangling farmhand we meet in books and see on stages. He hud attended the high school in Mount Mark, and had been graduated from the state agricultural college with high honors. He was a farmer, a s his father had been before him, but he was a farmer of the new era, one of those men who lakes plain farming and makes it a profession, almost a fine a r t . Usually he was selfpossessed, assertive, confident, but, in the presence of this sparkilug twin, for" once he w a s abashed. Carol w a s in an ecstasy of delight. She was not a man-eater, perhaps, but she was early romance-mad. The callow youths of Mount Mark, of t h e Epworth league, and the college, were almost unanimous in laying their adoration at Carol's feet. But Carol saw the elasticity, the buoyancy, of loves like these, and she couldn't really count them. She felt that she was ripe for a bit of solid experience now, a n d there w a s nothing callow about Jim—he was solid enough. And now, although she could see that his feelings stirred, she felt nothing but excitement and curiosity. A proposal, a real o n e ! It w a s imminent, she felt it. "Carol," he began abruptly, "I am in love." "A-are you?" Carol had not expected him to begin in just that way. "Yes; I have been for a long time, with t h e sweetest and dearest girl in the world. I know I am not half good enough for her, but—I love her so much that—I believe I could make her happy." "D-do you?" Carol was frightened. She reflected that it wasn't so much fun as she had expected. There was something wonderful in his eyes, and in his voice. Maybe Lark was right — maybe it did h u r t ! Oh, she really shouldn't have been quite so nice to h i m ! "She is young—so am I—but I know what I want, and if I can only have her. I'll do anything 1—" His voice broke a little. He looked very handsome, very grown-up, very manly. Carol quivered. She wanted to run away and cry. She wanted to put her a r m s around him and tell him she was very, very sorry and she would never do it again a s long a s she lived and breathed. "Of course," he went on, "L am not a fool. I know there isn't a girl like her in ten thousand, but—she's the one I want, and—Carol, do you reckon there is any chance for me? You ought to know, Lnrk doesn't have secrets from you, does she? Do you think she'll have me?" Certainly this w a s t h e surprise of Carol's life. If it w a s romance s h e wanted, here it w a s In plenty. She stopped short in t h e daisy-bright lane und stared a t him. "Jim Forrest," she demanded, "is it Lark you want to marry, or me?" "Lark, of course!" Carol opened h e r lips and closed them. She did it again. Finally she t b e idiots! If Co marry Lark, what in t h e world are yon out here proposing to me for?" "I'm n o t proposing to you," he objected. "I'm just telling you about i t " . "But w h a t t o r ? What's t h e object? Why don't you go and rave to her?" He smiled a little. "Weil, I guess I thought telling you first was OB* t , a y of breaking it to fc«r-fentljr." "I'm perfectly disgusted with yon." Carol went on, "perfectly. Here I've been expecting you to propose to me all week, and—" "Propose t c y o u ! My s t a r s ! " "Don't interrupt me," Carol snapped. "Last night I lay awake for hours— look at the rings beneath my eyes—" "I don't see 'em,** he interrupted again, smiling more broadly. "Just thinking o u t a good flowery rejection for you, and then you trot me out here and propose to Lark! Well, if that isn't nerve!" Jim laughed loudly at this. He was used to Carol, and enjoyed her little outbursts. "I can't think what on earth made yon Imagine I'd want to propose to you,** he said, shaking his head a s though appalled s t the idea, Carol's eyes twiaMed s t that, hot she did not permit him to see i t "Why shouldn't I think so? Didn't you get s new gray suit? And havea't I the hest complexion in Mount Mark? Don't ail the men want to propose to a eemplexiou like miner" He laughed again, then he "Do you think Lark win—" "I ilinik J.ark will turn you iimvi.." said Carol promptly, "and i hope sh« does. Vi.m aren't good enough tor her, No one iii the world *.s ^o.nl enough tor Lark e\<'ep[ m.\Mj!f. Jf she .shoul'J MOVJI! vim 1 don't 11 j.;11: rme will, but it .she has a mental UUTIM [ :un and does I'll give ymi ! i j j. On-.

I>ut I don't think .she'll nave you ; I'll he disappoin i ed in her it s h e d o e s . " Carol • wu.s .silent a moment then. She was remembering many i lungs — Lark's grave face thai day in ihe p a r sonage when they had discussed the love of .Ilia, her unwonted genrleness and her quiet manners dui'tug this visit, and one nigtn when Carol, suddenly awakening, had lound her weeping latterly into her pillow. Lark" had said it was a headaeho, and was better now, and Carol had gone to sleep again, but she remembered now that Lark never had headaches ! And she ! einembered how very often lately Lark had put her arms around her shoulders and looked searchingly Into her face, and Lark was always wistful, too, of late! She sighed. Yes, she caught on at last, "'had been pushed on to it," s h e thought angrily. She had been a wicked, blind, hateful little simpleton or she would have seen it long ago. But she uaid nothing of this to Jim. "You'd better r u n along then and switch your proposal over to her, or I'm likely to accept you on my own account, just for a joke. And lie sure and tell her Fin good and sore that I didn't get a chance to use my flowery rejection. But I'm almost sure she'll turn you down." Then Carol stood in the path and watched .lim as he leaped lightly over fences and run through the sweet meadow. She saw Lark spring to her feet and step out from the shade of an apple tree, und then Jim took her in his arms. After that, Carol rushed Into t h e house and up the stairs. She flung herself on her knees beside the bed and buried her face in the white spread. "Lark," she whispered, " L a r k ! " She clenched her hands, and her shoulders shook, "My little twin," she cried again, "my nice old Lark." Then she got up and walked back and forth across the floor. Sometimes she shook her fist. Sometimes a little crooked smile softened her lips. Once she stamped her foot, and then laughed at herself. For on hour she paced up and down, Then she turned on the light and went to the mirror, where she smoothed her hair and powdered her face as carefully as ever. "It's Just a good joke on me." she said, smiling, "but it's just as good a one on Mrs, Forrest. I think I'll go and have a laugh at her, And I'll pretend I knew It nit along." She found the woman lying In a hammock on the broad piazza where a broad shaft of light from the open door fell upon her. Carol stood beside her, smiling brightly. "Mrs. Forrest," 8he said, "I know a perfectly delicious secret. Shall I tell you?" "Cupid h a s been at work," she said softly, "and your own son h a s fallen a victim." Mrs. Forrest sniffed slightly, but she looked lovingly at the fair, sweet face. "I am sure I cannot wonder," she answered ID a gentle voice. "Is it all settled?" "I suppose so. At any rate he Is proposing to her In the orchard, a n d I am pretty sure she's going to accept him." Mrs. Forrest's arms fell away from Carol's shoulders. "Lark !" she ejaculated. "Yes—didn't you know it?" Carol's voice was mildly and innocently surprised. "Lark'." Mrs. Forrest was plainly dumfounded. " I — I thought it w a s you !" "Me!" Carol w a s Intensely astonished. "Me? Oh. dear sirs. Forrest whatever in the world inade-^wa tfcrfikt h a t r "Why—I don't know." she faltered weakly, "T Just naturally supposed it was you. I asked him once where he left his h e a r t and he said, 'At the parsonage,' and so of course I thought It waR you." Carol langhed gayly. "What n Joke." she cried. "But yon a r e more fortun a t e than you expected, for It is my precious old Larkle. Rut don't be too glad about it, or yon may hurt my feelinirs.** *rWell. 1 am surprised, I confess but I believe I like Lark as well as I do you, and of course Jim'* the one to decide. People say Lark Is more sen* sible than yon are, hut It takes a good bit of s man to f c t beyond s face a s pretty a s yours. Tm kind o' proud of J l m T After Fairy's wedding Carol naturally felt lonely. They had been rack constant companions that t h e parting was sorrow fnl for both. Carol's thoughts frequently dwelt oa their days of mischief in the old parsonage before Prudence was married, remembering especially one April foot Jok* that was decidedly on the twins.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, Feb. 28, 1918 No. 9 • i LOSS IN TRENCHES v Mortality Less Than in Any of the Previous Wars. Fhyiletan AaMrts That D1M«M It 8« Thoroughly Eliminated That a eiok Man la a Curiosity. Eeaders with relatives and friends Lat the front should get considerable J comfort from a study of the mortality Jstatistlcs of the armies recently put forward by a well-known physician, London Tit-Bits states. While his figures are not so fayorable as those .given out from Paris indicating that all kinds of permanent losses—killed, captured, missing and disabled—aggregate but 8 per cent per annum of the effective forces engaged, they are nevertheless distinctly encouraging. He finds that about sixty men per 1,000 are being killed and 150 wounded and that a very large proportion of the latter return to the trenches. This, naturally, is not to be compared with the normal death rale in time of peace of men of military age, which is but .eight per 1,000; but it is a vast im* provement upon the showing of any previous war. For one thing, disease has been so thoroughly eliminated that a sick man is a curiosity. The soldier at the front Is certainly less liable to attack than If he were at home. Everything he eats and drinks and wears, almost everything he touches, Is subject to the finest medical supervision of which science is capable, and if any particularly persistent bacillus were to get into his system in spite of all precautions, it would find him in such superb condition that its work would be futile. The high commands have thoroughly Turned the lesson that it does not pay to train a man to be a soldier and then lose him from a cause that is In the least degree preventable. By this same token, experience, both in the protection of the soldier and in the care of the wounded, is stead* lly reducing the death rate as the war progresses. Not only are new tactics constantly being developed which result in loss exposure of the individual soldier, but he is constantly being better equipped with defensive apparatus to minimize the effects of bullet or shrapnel or gas attack. Finally, from many classes of wounds which world have spelled probable death in 1914 and certain crippling In 1915, recovery Is now almost a matter of course. The drafted man who goes as an ordinary soldier, taking his Judgment with nlm and leaving his excessive enthusiasm behind, has every chance of coming back, and in better physical condition than when he left PHILOSOPHY OF Mfi¥ CHANtrE Lonely Bachelor Realizes Mistake In Not Welcoming Both Joy and Sorrow Into His Life. Tit for T a t The subject of the Sunday sermon fit one of the uptown New York churches was the duties of the citizen in time of war. The need of conservation of all foodstuffs was emphasized, and among the persons who gave ear was a small boy, replete in Sunday finery. He sat with his.grandfather, a stout, rather red-faced man, who ^was obviously devoted to the youngster. "And at this time," said the clergyman, in the course of his sermon, "it is the small sacrifice whlcE means so much to the good of the nation generally. There is a shortage of sugar. Well. let us eat less candy, for instance." The stout man nudged his grandson. "It is time for sober, clear-headed action on the part of all," continued the clergyman; "and when there are so many war needs for alcohol, why, for instance, should any man now partake of spirituous liquors?" Then the small boy nudged his grandfather. Search for Oil In Britain.

And after I read a certain part Of It I laid the magazine down, 'and I too, looked far away. But I looked past the printed page into a damp, dimly lighted trolley car—and into the heart of my friead who feared to grasp a vision, Margaret. B. S'ang- Bter writes in the Christian Herald. In the story a wealthy old bachelor was telling his reason for never having married. "I began to wonder," he said, 'Svhether there was any advantage in marrying at all. I saw a lot of people who were wretchedly unhappy together, and even more wretched after they had dissolved their matrimonial ties. I discovered that marriage usually meant children, anxiety, sickness and death. I took counsel of my fears. Why fall in love and marry If by doing so I was going to expose myself to the arrows of outrageous fortune? My parents were both dead. Sorrow couldn't touch me. Why Invite unhapplness? If I had no family I should have- only myself to look out for—to worry about—and when I died nobody would suffer agonies of bereavement on my account. So I shut myself up in my shell and built an iron wall around my affections to keep out sorrow. "I was a fool! What wouldn't I give now to have had sorrow 1 Many's the time I've envied my friend with a dead child. Pain and Joy go hand in hand. Deaden your capacity for one and you lose the other. Today I'd rather have had a year or so with a woman I had loved and have lost her than to be what I am—a lonely, childless, wifeless, friendless old man." I read ( the paragraph over. And then I took it to a man I know—I call him sometimes, to myself, the philosopher. "I think," he told me, "that the reasoning is quite right I "There's an old proverb that covers the whole thing. I think. "Tis better, to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all!' The word 'love' isn't the only one that will fit into that proverb. You can put 'live' in place of love, or 'known' or 'felt!' "I think," I said, "that you're right. 'Tis better," I mused, "to have lived, to have known, to have loved—and lost—" "You know," said the philosopher, "that every chance isn't a losing chance. Some people live and know find feel and love without losing T nlcally called) to spell out i "England expects that every man will do his duty." Woman In India Need Eduoatlon. At a meeting of the Woman's Indian Study association, Miss Boyd, secretary in England tor the Woman's University settlement, Bombay, said that only one per cent of Indian women could read. She declared the great need was for the Indian girls to take up the profession of medicine. It had been stated by an authority that an Indian woman in child birth had less chance than a foldler on the battlefield. Contradictory Evidence. "There is one thing curious about the minutes of a meeting." "What is that?" "They are generally affairs of moment" High Individual Morale. The reason why morale is necessary In tftnes of peace as well as in war is that the morale of no army can be higher than the Individual morale of the men, declares San Antonio Light Therefore the very best soldiers are those recruited from civil life who have every day morale—the men who do things, who stand fearlessly for what they believe to be right, who are undismayed by opposition and apparent defeat, and who accept life's tribulations calmly, patiently and with fortitude. Men of that stripe cannot be stampeded or confused in military affairs, once they have been trained as soldiers, just as in every-day life they cannot be kept down by circumstances. They are individually invincible and hence when organized into an army, they are militarily invincible. Therefore when you read of an army or a military unit with a high morale you know that the men in the ranks and the officers over them are men of strong, dominant courage who meet death calmly in the discharge of their military duty and who cannot be routed nor overawed by the enemy, but must be vanquished, if at all, by fighting. Warren Adelbert Carr. Warren Adelbert Carr was born in the Township of Putnam Oct. 27, 1854, the second son of Darwin and Caroline Carr. His early education was acquired in he schools of the village of Pinckney. On July 5, 1874 he was united in marriage to Sarah A. Johnson. To this union were born four children, Ernest t A. and Frances D. of Detroit, Roger J. of Pinckney and Mrs. Jas. A. Green of Alma. Mr. Carr has held the office of the Justice of the Peace of the Township of Putnam for the past twentyfive years and that of Village Attorney for the Village of Pinckney for the past twenty years. His unerring judgement and sterling buisness qualities proved him a man of marked ability. Although often hampered by illness Mr. Carr was a wise and willing counselor to all who came to him "for advise and assistance. His loss will be keenly felt in this community where he lived all his life arid enjoyed the confidence and respect of all who knew him. He passed away at his home in Pinckney, Febuary 14, 1918 at the age of 03 years 3 months and 17 days surrounded by his loving wife and four devoted children who with six grandchildren, two brothers and a sister remain to mourn their loss.

Further, the first president set an example which is being followed today in some sections of the country with all the acclaim of something new. The nrarkets which are being opened for the purpose of bringing the farm products to the consumer, to the exclusion of t h e middleman, are by no means a twentieth century invention. Most people don't know that George Washington essayed truck gardening and t h e maintenance of a market wagon, to the no synnll blessing but the social dismay, of some Alexandrians, but it is a fact. We rend so much of the "groaning board," steaming joints of luscious fare of all sorts In the days of colonial plenty, that we think the period a time of feasting and unlimited abundance, and recall but few of the hardships, of which there were many. It w a s to provide variety and to make h i s neighbors more satisfied with their l o t . t h a t Washington sent his market wagon Just once in so often to Alexa n d r i a loaded" with the products of the farmyard and the field of Mount Vernon. History does not tell us w h e t h e r Washington reached the hearts of his associates more speedily by the short route of their stomachs, but t h e r e is no doubt that his wise forethought brought him both gratit u d e and substantial reward. The Cart Goes to Town. Old Parson Weems, who has chatted so glibly about life in Adexandria, tells us that there w a s a time there when the town had more reason to boast of Its beauty than Its capacity to gladden the inner man. To quote that reverend chronicler : T h e neighborhood of Belle Haven (such was Alexandria's early name) was not n d e s e r t ; on the contrary, it was in many places a garden spot abounding with luxuries. But its inhabitants, the wealthy, were not wise. By the successful culture of tobacco they had money. And having filled ttteir coach houses with gilt carriages flnrt t n e l r d i n i n * r ° ° m s w l t h gilt glasses, they began to look down upon the poorer sort and to talk about families. Of course it would never do for such people to run market carts 1 Hence the poor Belle Havenitea, though embosomed in plenty, were often In danger of gnawing their nails. And unless they could cater a lamb from some gtwd-natnred •cracker; or a leash of chickens irom the Sunday negroes, were obliged to sit down with long face* to a hnlf-graced dinner of satt meat and journey cake. *TMe was the order of the day, A. D. •Q& when Washington, just married to t h e wealthy young widow Custts, fc«d settled at Mount Vernon, nine Bidet below Belle Haven. The unpWMftt attuftttee of the families at that place soon reached his ears. To a man of his character, with too much spirit to follow a bad example when lie had the power to set a good one, and too much wit to look for happiness anywhere but In his own bosom, it could not long be questionable what part he had to act. "A market cart was instantly constructed ami regularly three times' a week seat off to Belle Haven filled with nice roasters, kidney-covered lamb and veal, green geese, fat ducks and gobblers, chickens by the basket, fresh butter, new-laid eggs, vegetables and fruit of all sorts. Country gentlemen dining with their friends in town very soon remarked the welcome change in diet. 'Bless us all !' exclaimed they, 'what's the meaning of this? You invite us to family fare : ed tl and hero you have given us a lord I mayor's feast.' 'Yea,' replied the others, 'thank (}od for sending a Colonel 1 Washington into our neighborhood.' "The cat was thus let out of the ' hag, to the extreme mortification of | the 'Little Great ones,' that Colonel Washington should ever have run a ! market cart." Famous Carlyle House. The market where Washington sent his farm products lay right in the heart of Alexandria and upon a square about which stood some of the town's most noted residences and landmarks. Among these w a s the Carlyle house, and despite the passage of time and the physical changes wrought in that quaint Virginia city, this historic home survives intact today. The Carlyle house is intimately Identified with Washington's career and particularly with the very beginning of his military calling. As the story goes, the bricks for the building were Imported and so, too, the stone of which it was built in 1732. John S. Carlyle utilized for part of the foundation a portion of an old fort, which many years earlier had stood guard against the Indians for the protection of English t r a d e r s on Hunting Creek, as the place was then known. The barracks of that advance post of civilization became the cellar of the Carlyle house, and there in its cool shadows was stored the mellow wine t h a t tickled t h e palates of those days. From the heavy beams overhead hung pendant the luscious hams for which Virginia is still noted. Another part of the old fort supports the plaza at the r e a r of the house upon which the main hallway ends. It was there, of summer evenings, that the Carl vies and their guests gathered, and it was there the men discussed the problems of the hour over a heartsome glass amid the soothing smoke of the fragrant Oronoko. Then, the gardens ran down to the river's bank and overlooked the docks at which the trading craft were moored—vessels that came from over the seas to barter the silks and riches of the far East, the products of Europe, and the tropic abundance of the West Indies in return for the famous tobacco with which Alexandria's one great waresentimental interest, for It was at the foot of the beautiful staircase of solid mahogany that Washington awaited the coming of lovely Sally Fairfax upon a certain evening, and, while escorting her to the ballroom, offered that lady his heart and was refused. On the opposite side of this same hall Is the "blue and white room," which was John Carlyle's particular retreat or sanctum. That room is of especial Interest to us as a nation, for it was there that Washington received his commission as a member of General Braddock's staff In 175;"). What Washington learned upon that disastrous campaign against the Indians and with British soldiers taught him much which later he put to good service In behalf of his country. Braddock Took Possession. When. Braddock arrived he accepted the proffered hospitality of John Carlyle and established headquarters there. The little blue and white room became the miIItar;: council chamber, and it was there that the plans were made for the campaign. Washington's previous experience as a leader of Virginia troops against the savages made him nil the more welcome at the conferences, and his keen Judgment and practical advice earned for him Braddock's admiration and won for him his colonelcy upon the general's staff. We who count our dollars and m a k e our purchases in hard coin but little realize the part the "vile weed" played in all commercial transactions In Virginia 150 years ago. The fragrant Oronoko tobacco had a fame which reached to Europe, and this was the common medium of exchange. The incense of this leaf, as it were, bought the English bricks with which old Christ church In Alexandria w a s built in 1773. The church was designed, so it has been said, by one J a m e s Wren, reputed to have been a relative of the architect of London's famous St. Paul's. Washington worshiped at Christ church. History tells us that It was within the shadow of t h a t sacred structure, after services one Sunday morning in the summer of 1774, that he earnestly advocated t h e renunciation of allegiance to the king of England. Always deliberate and intensely devout, one can gather something of the spell which his words must have cast upon his fellow churchmen upon that occasion. There are many houses In Alexandria today that were in their prime when Washington was in their midst and closely identified with them not only socially but officially intermittently during his youth and Just prior to his death. A N D N O W T H E Y ARE COOKING TOBACCO TO MAKE IT BETTER CURIOUS CONDENSATIONS For a good many years T h e American Tobacco Company have been conducting a scries of experiments ^having aa their object the improvement of smoking tobaccos. And it is interesting to know that one of the greatest of their discoveries was one of the simplest, and that was, that cooking or toasting tobacco improved it in every way, just as cooking most foods improves them. They took a real Burley tobacco, grown In this country; toasted it as you would toast bread; moistened it to replace the natural moisture driven off by toasting; made it into cigarettes, called them "LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette * and offered them to the public The result has been the greatest demand ever created for any tobacco product in a similar length of time. The change produced by toasting is not only most wholesome, but the flavor is greatly improved, just as cooking improves meat, for example.—Adv- The Cause of Hatred.

T h e kaiser's greatest ally is whisky I This 1 say, because whatever saps the strength of America, lowers its efficiency, and steals its wholesome food is manifestly pluying into the h;md.s of America's enemy. Women may economize in the kitchen, cun the beans and cabbage, save the crusts, and skimp the butter, bi.it one saloon will waste more human energy over the bar in one day than they will conserve in a week. Why plant your front lawns in potatoes and raise carrots instead of geraniums in your window g a r d e n ; why eat corn pone instead of white bread, and fried rice for steak, and all t h a t sort of thing, when every pound of food you are saving to make men strong ts doubly duplicated by the still, which flows to make men weak? Every glass of booze that passes over the mahogan\ bar la the drinking place does as much damage to the manhood of the nation as a ten-inch shell fired from one of the kaiser's rtrupps. For whisky never did any good and never will do any good. Every ounce of it means lowering life's efficiency. It makes the muscle flabby. It obscures the brain. It lets down the moral force. Every drop of whisky moans so much less honesty, loyal courage, and Intelligence. T h e kaiser could mak« no shrewder move than to subsidize every grog shop In America, to keep on at full blast, ladling out the stuff t h a t takes the stamina out of this great people. Nobody, no nation, can conquer America. But America can rot. She can guzzle her beloved poison and sink to maudlin weakness, while she prates of "personal liberty," and slobbers in congress and out, over the vested rights of poison sellers. General O'Ryan in a recent letter to his fellow soldiers, used this lang u a g e : "Our job is to whip the enemy hard and with the least loss to ourselves. In training our military machines to do this we must eliminate back-lash, rattles, and useless loads. We must have every part healthy, strong, and dependa b l e ; no part defective, diseased, or obsolete. "This cannot be if we are to permit booze In any form in our military machine. Alcohol, whether you call It beer, wine, whisky, or by any other name, Is a breeder of Inefficiency. While it affects men differently, the results are the same, In t h a t all affected by It cease for the time to be normal. Some become forgetful, others quarrelsome. Some become noisy, some get sick, some get sleepy; others have their passions greatly stimulated. When you stop to consider the thousands to a^djvislou, do you not see how vital to "efficiency is the elimination of liquor? If one officer or man is permitted to use liquor, then others will claim the right to do so. How can a division of troops be ever ready —ever up on the bit to drive ahead or to thrust back the enemy's drive— if through the presence of this Insidious evil some soldiers forget their ordeVs, or become norty when silence Is essential, fall asleep when every faculty should be alert, or absent from their posts?"

Win the War by Preparing the Land Sowing the Seed and Producing Bigger Crops Work in Joint Effort the Soil of the United States and Canada CO-OPERATIVE FARMING DV MAN POWER NECESSARY TO WIN THE BATTLE FOE LIBERTY The Food Controllers of the United States and Canada are asking for greater food production. Scarcely 100,000,000 bushels of wheat are available to be sent to the allies overseas before the crop harvest. Upon the efforts of the United States and Canada rests the burden of supply. Every Available Tillable lore Must Contribute; Every Available Farmer and Farm Hand Must Assist Western Canada has an enormous acreage to be seeded, but man power is short, and an appeal to the United States allies is for more men for seeding operation. Canada's Wheat Production Last Year was 225,000,000 Bushels; the Demand From Canada Alone for 1918 Is 400,000,000 Bushels To secure this she must have assistance. She has the land but needs the men. The Government of the United States wants every man who can effectively help, to do farm work this year. It wants the land in the United States developed first of course; but it also wants to help Canada. Whenever we find a man we can spare to Canada's fields after ours are supplied, we want to direct him there. Apply to our Employment Service, and we will tell you where you can best serve the combined interests. Western Canada's help will be required not later than April Sth. Wages to competent help, 150.00 a month and up, board and lodging. Those who respond to this appeal will get a warm welcome, good wages, good board and find comfortable homes.

The Forests of Porto Rico. According to a publication of the United States forest service the once Immense virgin forests of Porto Hico have been laid waste t o a deplorable extent, says the Scientific American. The total wooded area now amounts to about 20 per cent of the area of the Island, but not more than two-fifths of this is now under forest capable of yielding a wood product other than charcoal and fuel wood. The area of high forest Is hardly 2 per cent of the total land area. Reforesting is a great need of the country, both for the sake of the water supply a n d to provide timber and fuel.

Detroit Don't the things that worried vou three years ago look trival now? Find Relics of Saxon Kings. Capt. Vaughan Williams of Old Windsor has discovered what he believes to be the site of the palace of the Saxon kings and the pre-conquest town of Windsor. It is believed that there on,ce stood at Old Windsor the palace of Edward the Confessor, but although several Saxon urns have been excavated here from time to time the actual position of the palace has never been decided. Tlghe and Davis, In their "Annals of Windsor," say that Old Windsor was probably selected by the Saxon kings as a residence for tire same reason as It was subsequently repurchased by William the Conqueror, on account of Its convenience for hunting in the forest. The lands of Windsor, granted by Edward the Confessor and exchanged ! by the abbot of Westminster with William, appear to have hnd reference to Old Windsor, and did not include the site of the present town or castle. King William held Old Windsor as his own demesne. »> I 3 H \i :: | •*• ft $ $ fftt f9t 1% 8n **.#* :.: It • • :?.;: »» ».• • * ».• fftt fftt fftt f£t fftt fftt ft ii if Ii 8 TEEPLE HARDWARE CO. fftt h fftt fftt i :* We desirerevcry one that owes us by either note or account to visit our store during- the next thirty days and settle all up, as -we have nothing but past due matters.

WAGE DISPUTE SETTLED LATER Labor Heads Decide to Appeal to President to Settle Difference* W i t h 8hipyard Employers. New York - William L. Hutcheson, general president of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters of America, Sunday called off the strike in the shipyards at the port of New York and Other eastern points, after receiving a telegram from President Wilson. The president wired Hutcheson that he could see nothing to be gained by conferring with him personally about the strike of shipyard carpenters until he" has accepted and acted on the principle that in the present circumstances of the nation no body of men has the right to strike until every other method of adjustment has been tried to the limit. "If you do not act on this principle," said the president's message, "you are undoubtedly giving aid and comfort to the enemy, whatever may be your own conscious purpose." Hutcheson subsequently sent messages to all of the brotherhood representatives that could be reached Sunday night instructing them to send word out to the men to report at their places for work Monday morning. There were more than 6,000 men out who returned immediately at President Hutcheson's order. The message that was received from President Wilson Sunday afternoon deeply impressed labor leaders here. They held a long conference at which all phases of the situation were discussed. The order to call off the strke waB Issued after it was decided to take the matter of adjustment of their differences with shipyard employers up directly with President Wilson. Labor leaders took the appeal of the president more as an indictment charging them with being unpatriotic, union men explained here. They said that union men would work if need,be, beside non-union men until such time as their difficulties may be adjusted. It was explained that the order to return was issued as a response to the president's appeal, and as an evidence of their confidence in him rather than any "giving up the fight." DETROIT PHONE RATES RAISED Railroad Commission Authorizes Bell Company to Install Meters. Detroit—The state railroad commission last Saturday handed down a decision that will enrich the Michigan State Telephone company $1,000,000 a year through increased rates and metered service. The metered service is to be install ed by August 1, 1920; increased rates will take effect March 18, 1918. "Interim rates," authorized by the commission's order, increase the cost of each business telephone $12 a year; one-party residence telephones $6 a year, and limit four-party residence telephones to 60 outgoing calls a month. The decision of the commission grants practically all of the demands of the company. The company, claiming a valuation of about $13,000,000, had this claim reduced to $11,000,000 by the commission. The city claimed the basis on which the deficit is figured should be $8,000,000. City officials declare that they willtight the increase to the last ditch.

GIVE SUPPORT TO UKRAINE "No War, But No Peace" Plan of Trotzky Rejected at Conference of Teuton Military Leaders. London—Germany has resolved to renew military activities against northern Russia. This decision was reached at a con. ference at imperial headquarters, apecial dispatches from Holland say. The conference was attended by Emperor William, Chancellor von Hertling, Field Marshal von Hinder.- burg, General von Ludendorff, Foreign Secretary von Kuehlmann and others. The "no war, but no peace" plan of Leon Trotzky, the Bolshevik foreign minister, was rejected at the conference, according to the Amsterdam correspondent of the Daily Express, and as Trotzky does not want peace he will get war. Invasion of Russia will continue, at any rate until Petrograd is occupied by German troops. The Germans take the view that Trotzky's declaration, although it did not end the war, automatically ended the armistice, which expired February 14. The Germans now have a free hand, and while it does not mean an immediate invasion towards Petrograd, it is certain that support will be given the Ukraine. The Germans are carrying on an active propaganda, with a view to splitting up Russia and posing as a protector to the new states. It is believed that the Bolshevik! are now moving troops against the Ukraine*. London—Germany has suddenly found herself involved in a maze of difficulties on the eastern front and in danger of losing all t&e large benefits she was calmly preparing to realize from her peace with the Ukraine.

Washington.—Reduction in the retell prices of both anthracite and bituminous coal is expected by the fuel administration as the result of a decision to eliminate jobbers' commissions after next April 1. Under the new regulations, retail dealers will obtain coal at the same price wnether purchasing directlv from the mine or through middlemen. The mine price will be increased slightly to provide for the operators" added expense, but the advance will not be equal to the commission no-v allowed the jobber. Elimination of jobbers' commissions, the tuel administration announced, v.aa necessary in order to wipe out a systematise*! form of profiteering which has increased the cost of fuel to 4he consumers.

The Sunday Observer's military correspondent says that since General Robertson's return from Versailles, "it has been an open secret, that though as a good soldier he acquiesced in decisions of the war council after they had been adopted, he did not approve of them and had he remained in offVce he would have been in the disagreeable position of having to give effect to a procedure with which he is not in sympathy." BABIES DIE IN NUNNERY FIRE Loss of Life Probaby W i l l Reach 75— Number of Bodies Recovered. Montreal—Probably 75 children lost their lives in a fire that destroyed the Grey nunnery, one of the largest and oldest in eastern Canada. A number of charred bodies have been recovered from the ruins. The fire, the cauBe of which is attributed to defective electric wiring, tary benefit—the Polish army—bids fair to be turned against them. Reports in the German newspapers which express dismay and alarm over the Polish situation, indicate that the Polish legations and the Polish soldiers now are on the side of the Poles in embitterment against the Germans. The situation has grown so serious that the German military are patrolling the streets in Warsaw. Austria-Hungary is particularly involved in the difficulties because of the prominent part which it was expected she would play in the future government of Poland. The Polish elements and those sympathizing with them in the dual monarchy are up in arms over the situation and further internal troubles are threatened.

Our boys are defending this country on the high seas and on the laad. Our own defense against a common enemy is to keep the system clean by ridding: the body of the toxins, or poisons, whicb, are bred in the intestine*.

"Connie must be a precocious younger sister, all in white—she must come in lute with a tennis racquet, as though fihe had just returned from a game. That win be otugey, won't it? Lark must be the sweet young duughter of the house. She must wear her silver mull, her gray slippers, and—" "What are you going to wear?" "Who, me? Oh, I have other plans for myself." Carol looked rather uneasily at her auut. "It'll come to me a little later." "Yes, indeed," said Connie. "Carol has something extra up her sleeve. She's had the millionaire's son In her mind's eye ever since father introduced his pocketbook into the conversation," Carol was unabashed. "My interest 1s solely from a family viewpoint. I fcave no ulterior motive." Her eyes sparkled eagerly. "You know, auntie darling—" "Now, Carol, don't you suggest anything—" "Oh, no indeed, dearest, how could you think of such a thing?" disclaimed Carol instantly. "It's such a very tiny thing, but it will mean a whole lot on the general impression of a millionaire's son. We've simply got to have a maid! To open the door, and courtesy, and take his hat, and serve the dinner, and— He's used to it, you know, and If w- haven't one' he'll go back to Cleveland and say, "Ah, bah Jove, I had to hang up my own hat, don't you know?" "That's supposed to be English, but I don't believe it. Anyhow, it isn't Cleveland," said Connie flatly. "Well, he'd think we were awfully cheap and hard up, and Andy Hedges, Sr., would pity father, and maybe send him ten dollars, and—no, we've got to have a maid !" "We might get Mamie Sickey," suggested Lark. "She's so ugly." "Or Fay Greer," interposed Aunt Grace. "She'd spill the soup." "Then there's nobody but Ada Lone," decided Connie. "She hasn't anything fit to wear," objected Carol. "Of whom were you thinking. Carol?" asked her aunt, moving uneasily in her chair. Carol flung herself at her aunt's knees. "Me!" she cried. "As usual," Connie ejaculated dryly. "Oh, Carol," walled Lark, "we can't think of things to talk about when you aren't there to keep us stirred up." "I'm beginning to see daylight," said Connie. She looked speculatively at Lark. "Well, It's not half bad, Carol, and I apologize." "Don't you think it is a glorious idea, Connie?" cried Carol rapturously. "Yes, I think it is." Carol caught her sister's hand. Here was an ally worth having. "You know how sensible Connie is, auntie. She sees how utterly preposterous it would be to think of entertaining a millionaire's son without a mnld." "You're too pretty," protested Lark. "He'd try to kiss you." "'Oh, no, sir, oh, please, sir,'" simpered Carol, with an adorable curtesy, " 'you'd better wait for the ladies, sir.'" "Oh, Carol, I think you're awful," said their aunt, unhappily. "I know your father won't like it." "Lite it? He'll love it. Won't he, Connie?" "Well, rm not sure he'll be crazy about It, but it'll be all over when he gets home," said Connie. "And you're very much in favor of it, aren't you, Connie previousr "But what's tfce i d e a T mourned Lark. "What's the sense in it? Father said to ** good to him, and you know I can't think of thirgs to say to a millionaire's son. Oh, Carol, don't be so mean.*' But Carol stood firm, and the others yielded to her persuasions. Even Aunt Grace allowed her qualms to be quieted and entered into her part as seml-lnva- Hd auntie with genuine lest. At three they were all arrayed, ready for the presentation. They assembled socially In the parlor, the dainty maid ready to fly to her post at a second's warning. At four o'clock, they were a little fagged and near the point of ex* asperation, but they still held their characters admirably. At half past four a telegram message was phoned out from the station. •Delayed in coming. Will write you later. Very sorry. Andy Hedges, Jr." Only the absolute lodicrousness of tt saved Carol from a rage. She looked from the girlish Iannis girl to the attniir> «lld auntie, and then to the sweet young daughter of the boose, and b u n t ont laughing. The others, though tired, nervosa and d^appojnted, Joined her merrily, and the vexation was swept away. The next morning, Aunt Grace went as usual to the all-duy meeting of the Ladies' Aid In the church parlors. Carol and Lark, with a light lunch, went out for a few hours of springtime happiness beside the creek two inilea from town. "We'll come back right after luncheon," Carol promised, "so if Andy the Second should come, we'll be on hand." "Oh, he won't come today." "Well, he just better get here before father comes home. I know father will like our plan after It's over, but I also know he'll veto it if he gets home in time. Wish you could go with us, Connie." "Thanks. But I've got to sew on forty buttons. And—if I pick the cherries on the little tree, will you make a pie for dinner?" "Yes. If I'm too tired Larkie will. Do pick them, Con, the birds have had more than their share now." After her sisters had disappeared, Connie considered the day's program. "I'll pick the cherries while it's cool. Then I'll sew on the buttons. Then I'll call on the Piersons, and they'll probably invite me to stay for luncheon." And she went upstairs to don a garment suitable for cherry-tree service, from a rag bag In the closet at the head of the stairs, she resurrected some remains of last summer's apparel. First she put on a blue calico, but the skirt was so badly torn in places that It proved insufficiently protecting. Further search brought to light another skirt, pink, In a still worse state of delapldatlon. However, since the holes did not occur simultaneously in the two garments, by wearing both she was amply covered. For a waist she wore a red crepe dressing sacque, and about her hair she tied a broad, ragged ribbon of red to protect the soft waves from the ruthless twigs. She looked at herself in the mirror. Nothing daunted by the sight of her own unslghtllness, she took a bucket and went Into the back yard. Gingerly she climbed into the tree, gingerly because Connie was not fond of scratches on her anatomy, and then began her task. It was a glorious morning. The birds, frightened away by the living scare-crow in the tree, perched in other, cherryless trees around her and burst into derisive song. And Connie, light-hearted, free from care, in love with the whole wide world, sang, too, pausing only now and then to thrust a ripe cherry between her teeth. She did not hear the prolonged ringing of the front door bell. She did not uoserve the young man in the most immaculate of white spring suits who came Inquiringly around the house. But when the chattering of a saucy robin became annoying, she flung a cherry at him crossly. "Oh, chase yourself!" she cried. And nearly fell from her perch In dismay when a low voice from beneath said pleasantly: "I beg your pardon l Miss Starr?" Connie swallowed hard, to get the last*cherry and the mortification out of her throat. "Yes," she said, noting the immaculate white spring suit, and the handsome shoes, and the costly panama held so lightly in his hand. She knew the panama was costly because they had wanted to buy one for her father's birthday, but decided not to. "I am Andrew Hedges," he explained, smiling sociably. Connie wilted completely at t h a t "Good night," she muttered with a vanishing mental picture of their lovely preparations the day previous, **I— mean good morning. I'm so glad to meet you. You—you're later, a r e n t you? I mean, aren't you ahead of yourself? At least, you didn't write, did you?" "No, I was not detained so long as I had anticipated, so I came right on. But Pm afraid Tm Inconveniencing you." "Oh, not a bit, Tm quite comfortable," she assured him. "Auntie is gone Just now, and the twins are sway, too, but they'll all be back presently." She looked longingly at the house, •Til have to come down, I suppose.'* "Let me help you," he offered eagerly. Connie In the incongruous dothea, with the little curls straying beneath the ragged ribbon, and with stains of cherry on her lips, looked more presentable than Connie knew. "Oh, I—" she hesitated, flashing. "Mr. Hedges,*' she cried.imploringly, "will you Just go around the corner until I get down. I look fearful." "Not a bit of It** he said. "Let me take the cherries." Connie helplessly passed them down to atta, and saw him carefully depositing them onNthe ground. "Jast give sae yonr hand. And what could Connie do? She couldn't sternly order a millionaire's son to mosy around the house aud mind his own business until she got some decent clothes on, though that was what she yeurned to do. Instead she held out a slender hand, grimy and red, with a few ugly scratches here aud there, and allowed herself to be helped ignomlnlously out from the sheltering branches into the garish light of day. She looked at blm reproachfully. He never so much as smiled. "Laugh If you like," she said bitterly. "I looked In the mirror. I know ull about It." "Run along," he said, "but don't be gone long, will you? Can you trust me with the cherries?" Connie walked Into the house with great decorum, afraid the ragged skirts might swing revealingly, but the young man bent over the cherries while she made her escape. It was another Connie who appeared a little later, a typical tennis girl, all In white from the velvet band in her hair to the canvas shoes on her dainty feet. She held out tlfe slender hand, no longer grimy and stained, but its whiteness still marred with sorry scratches. "I am glad to see you," she said gracefully, "though I can only pray you won't carry a mental picture of me very long." "I'm afraid I will, though," he said teaslngly. "Then please don't paint me verbally for my sisters' ears; they are always so clever where I am concerned. It Is too bad they are out. You'll stay for luncheon with me, won't you? I'm all alone—we'll have it In the yard." "It sounds tempting, but—perhaps I had better come again later In the afternoon." "You may do that, too," said Connie. "But since you are here, I'm afraid I must Insist that you help amuse me." And she added ruefully, "Since I have done so well amusing you this morning." "Why. he's Just like anybody else," she was thinking with relief. "It's no trouble to talk to him, at all. He's nice In spite of the millions." He stayed for luncheon, he even helped carry the folding table out beneath the cherry tree, and trotted docilely back and forth with plates and glasses, as Connie decreed. It was not until they were at luncheon that the grand Idea visited Connie. B^ack to her remembrance flashed the thousand witty sallies of Carol and Lark, the hundreds of times she had suffered at their hands. And for the first time In her life, she saw a clear way of getting even. And a millionaire's son ! Never was such a revenge fairly crying to be perpetrated. "Will you do something for me, Mr. Hedges?" she asked. Connie was only sixteen, but something that Is born in woman told her to lower her eyes shyly, and then look up at him quickly beneath her lashes. And she saw In a flash the ruse worked. Then she told him softly, very prettily. "But won't she dislike me, If I do?" he asked. "No, she won't," said Connie. "We're a family of good laughers. ' W e enjoy a Joke nearly as much when it's on us, as when we are on top." So It was arranged, and shortly after luncheon the young man In the immaculate spring suit took his departure. Then Connie summoned her aunt by phone, and told her she must hasten home to help "get ready for the millionaire's son." It was after two when the twins arrived, and Connie and their aunt hurried them so violently that they hadn't time to ask how Connie got her information. H e had arrived l A millionaire's s o n ! Instantly their enthusiasm returned to them. The cushions on the couch were carefully orranged for.the reclining of the semMnvalid s u n t who, with the sweet young daughter of the house, wag upstairs waiting to be summoned. Connie, with the tennis racquet was in the shed, waiting to arrive theatrically. Carol, In her trim black gown with a white cap and apron, was s dream. And when he came she ushered him in, courtesylng in a way known only on the stage, and took bis hat and stick, and said softly: *Yes, sir—please come In, sir—1*11 call the ladles.** She knew she was bewitching, of course, since she had done tt on purpose, and she lifted her eyes Just far enough beneath the lashes to give the properly coquettish affect. H e caught bar hand, and drew her slowly toward him, admiration In hit eyes, bnt trepidation in his heart, aa he followed Connie's coaching. Bat Carol was panicstricken, she broke away from him roughly and ran npatalra, forgetting her carefully rehearsed : "Oh, no, sir— oh, please, sir—you'd better wait for the ladles." But once out of reach she regained her composure. The semi-invalid aunt trailed down the stairs, closely followed by the attentive muld to arrange her cha'r and udjuui the silken shawl. Mr. Hedges introduced himself, feeling horribly foolish in the presence of the lq.vely serving girl, and wishing she would take herself off. But she lingered effectively, whispering softly: "Shall I lower the window, madame? Is it too cool? Your bottle, tnudaine !" And the guest rubbed his hand swiftly across his face to hide the slight twitching of his lips. Then the model maid disappeared, and presently the sweet daughter of the house, charming in the gray silk mull and satin slippers, appeared, smiling, talking, full of vivacity and life. And after a while the dashing tennis girl strolled in, smiling Inscrutably Into the eyes that turned so quizzically toward her. For a time all went well. The chaperoning' aunt occasionally lifted a dainty cologne bottle to her sensitive nostrils, and the daughter of the house curried out her girlish vivacity to the point of utter weariness. Connie said little, but her soul expanded with the foretaste of triumph. "Dinner Is served, mudume," said the soft voice at the door, and they all walked out sedately. Carol adjusted the invalid auntie's shawl once more, and was ready to go to the kitchen when a quiet: "Won't Miss Carol sit down with us?" made her stop dead in h°r trackn. He had pulled a chair from the corner up to the table for her, and she dropped Into It. She put her elbows on the table, and leaning her dainty chin in her hands, gazed thoughtfully at Connie, whose eyes were bright with the fires of victory. "Ah, Connie, I have hopes of you yet—you are Improving," she said gently. "Will you run out to the kitchen and bring me a bowl of soup, my child?" And 'hen came laughter, full and free—and in the midst of it Carol looked up, wiping her eyes, and said : "I'm sorry now I didn't let you kiss me, Just to shock father!" But the visit was a great success. flven Mr. Starr realized that. The millionaire's son remained in Mount Mark four days, the cynosure of all eyes, for as Carol said, "What's the use of bothering with a millionaire's son if you can't brag about him?" And his devotion to his father's college chum was such that he wrote to him regularly for a long time after, and came westward now and again to renew the friendship so auspiciously begun. "But you can't call him a problem, father," said Carol keenly. "They aren't problematic until they discriminate. And he doesn't. He's as fond of Connie's conscience as he is 4f my complexion, as far as I can see." She rubbed her velvet skin regretfu'ly. She had two pimples yesterday and he never even noticed them. The she leaned forward and smiled. "Father, you keep an eye on Connie. There'? something In there that we aren't on to yet." And with this cryptic rermirk, Carol turned her attention to a small Jar of cold cream the druggist had given her to sample. CHAPTER XV. The Twins Have a Proposal. It was half past three on a delightful summer afternoon. The twine stood at the gate with two hatless youths, performing what seemed to be the serious operation of separating their various tennis rackets and shoes from the conglomerate Jumble. Finally, laughing and calling hack over their shoulders, they sauntered lazily up the walk toward the house, and the young men set off in the direction from which they had come. They were hard* ly out of hearing distance when the front door opened, and Aunt Grac* beckoned hurriedly to the twins. "Come on, quick," she said. "Where in the world have you been all day? Did you have any luncheon? Mrs. Forrest and Jim were here, and they invited you to go home with them for a week in the country. I said I knew you'd want to go, and they promised to come for you at four, but I couldn'1 find any place. I suppose it Is tor late now. It's—" "A week!" "At Forrests'?" "Come on. Lark, sure we have time enough. W e l l be ready in fifteen mUw utes." "Come on np. Auntie; we'll tell yoaj where we've been." The twins flew up the stairs, thelf aunt as close behind as she deemed safe. Inside their own room they promptly and ungracefully kicked off their loose pumps, tossed their tennis shoes and racquets on the bed. snd began tugging at the cords of the** middy blouses. T o n go and wash, Carol,** said Lark* ••while 1 comb. Then I can have thai bathroom to myself. And hurry up* Yon hsven't any time to primp.** (VO BB OOWTIRTED.)

Gregory. Rev. J. J. Schul«r received the following letter from bis nephew who ia now a captain in the American Army in France. Somewhere in France, Jan. '11, iyi« Rev. and Mrs. J. J. Scbuler, Gregory, Mich. Dear John and Maude: Your dandy letters of Dec. 27 received yesterday and your* were the only letters I received from the States. It has been an awful trial for me here, but I have learned that Ood will meet every human need and I havB had so many demonstrations of bis loving kindnees that I am satisfied to stay over here until this terrible wax is ended. The weather here has not been very coW and while we have had lots of snow it is all gone now and the fields are as green as at home in April. You speak of your Red Cross work and I want to say that it is the grandeat thing you can do to help your country win the war. I handled the Red Cross supplies for this hospital for a long time and can truthfully say that were it not for the many articles of clothing and hospital supplies that are furnished from this source many a poor Boldier would lack comfort. Regular U. S. supplies are here in abundance, but it is tha home made things that bring real comfort to the sick and wounded. So keep the good work up. France is surely a beautiful country with its old fashioned houses of stone plaster and red tile roofs. Its well paved country roads, the beautiful green fields and its many places of historic interest What attracted my attention most prominently at first was the Well built roads which are met on every hand and the manner in which they are kept up. Beautiful well trained trees are placed on either side not alone for beauty and shade but for a protection from washouts during the rainy seson. Piles of crushed rock at regular intervals are Been along the roads for instant repair work. When they suface a road for any distance just one side is done at a time so traffic is not delayed. I have visited many places of historic interest. Some time ago I was at Domreray the birthplace of Joan of Arc. I vfsited church in which she was baptised also the house in which she was born. Air crafts are in the air over us nearly all the time and while we are not very near to the front line trenches we have an occaaioal thrill when the signal "Air Raid" is sounded. I could mention many more things of interest but they would not get by the censor, so will stop right here. With love and best wishes, I am, Sincerely your nephew, Captain F. Ellis Reed.

Poets are the great exceptions. Poets are forever performing the Impossible. "No man putteth new wine Into old bottles . . . new wine must be put into new bottles." But putting new wine into old bottles has beens the steady professional occupation of John MasefleldL While many of our cotemporary verse llbrlsts and other experimentalists have been on the hunt for new bottles, sometimes, perhaps, more Interested in the bottle than In the wine, John Maseneld, has been constantly pouring his heady drink Into receptacles 600 years old. In subjectmatter and in language he Is not In the least "traditional," not at all Victorian; he is wholly modern, new, cotemporary. Yet while he draws his fhemes and his heroes from his own Experience, his Inspiration as a poet comes directly from Chaucer, who died in 1400. He is, indeed, the Chaucer of today; the most closely akin to Chaucer—not only in temperament, but in literary manner—of all the writers of the twentieth century.—The Bookman. Mere Men. More than 1,500 years ago—perhaps on the day, let us say, that Charlemagne died—a great red cedar tree fell In the forests of what Is now Cunuda. Today from tho prostrate trunk sound ml cedar shingles are being cut. for the dwellings of mere man— and red cedar shingles outlive, in their usefulness, the oldest of men, observes a writer. Straddling the fallen giant are the stumps of three other cedars, charred by ages of forest fires, but marked with the rings which proclaim their fifteen centuries of growth. As for the age of the tree which fell with the passing of Charlemagne, that Is mere speculation—perhaps it was 'a iseedllng when Nebuchadnezzar was rebuilding Babylon. At any rate, Its shingles, nailed to your roof today, will be sheltering your grandsons when your own dust, perhaps, is being blown about the world. Auction Sale Monday March 4th At ONE P. M.

MORTENSON Swallows Nest on Ferryboat A pair of birds with a taste"for travel Is a family of swallows which has made a home in a life preserver'aboard the port commission's ferryboat Issaquah, says an exchange. While the ferry boat crosses the lake these birds dart back and forth on their business, catching fat spiders and worms for the nestlings. Sometimes, when the ferry boat fe close to land, the swallows go ashore for supplies and easily overtake their floating home again. Before they nest wild birds often appear timorous, Sometimes, in spite of this natural fear, they choose nests in very public places, and once they have nested they almost invariably stay by their homes, running what must be to them frightful risks in order to care for their eggs and fledglings.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, Feb. 13, 1918 No.? WHAT SAMMIES EAT t I •Meat Twice Daily, White Bread, Vegetables, Chief Foods. fCoffiC O Served at Breakfast and Buttermilk, Tea, Cocoa or Water at Other Meals. ! „ FIRST WHITE BOY Youth Accompanied Columbus' Expedition in 1492. The old idea'that army diet should consist largely of beans, hardtack and Coffee, Is no longer approved, writes Belie Case Harrington in Leslie's. ID the present training camps meat, preferably beef, Is served twice a day, with white bread baked In the general camp bakery and kept 24 hours be- | fore serving. Where green vegetables j , can be obtained they are used, other- j I wise canned goods are substituted. I i Coffee is served at breakfast, and but-1 j termllk, lemonade, tea, cocoa or waiter at other meals. Meals, which in , the vernacular are "mess" or "chow," are served cafeteria style. Every soldier Is furnished with an outfit which consists of a meat-pan,! knife, fork and spoon, and a long-1 handled cup. The cover of the meat- j | pan serves as a plate, and the outfit Is ; so arranged that each man may do his , | own cooking in case of an emergency.j ! Each man takes his meat-pan a n d : | passes before a table where he Is \ berved with the various dishes pre-1 I pared. He then goes to a table, or if i there is none, drops down on the ground, and eats In absolute content-; I ment. Don't feel too sorry for the boys, even if they do write longingly home wishing for mother's cookies or . Jane's fried chicken. Men in outdoor training have good appetites, and they are far better off physically than if fed on the salads and Ices and sodas they probably would have at homo. What they miss most is sweets. If you are sending things from home put in cookies, candies and jams or jellies. Milk chocolate is one of the things u soldier seems to cruve, Und a jar of malted milk will come handy if he is not feeling well. Be sure not to send food that is too rich as the boys are on plain diet. \ One of the comforting thoughts to the friends at home is the fact that | Uncle Sam is bound to maintain good | health among his soldiers. Even if i ,there were no humane considerations,' this would be necessary from a purel y economic standpoint. Sick soldiers are a menace, and a regiment not up 'to par in the matter of health is an lawful handicap. All men are vaccinate d for smallpox, and Inoculated against typhoid as soon as they enter service. Minor disorders, such as blisters, bowel trouble, or sore throat are carefully watched by the officers in charge, and there Is a hospital with trained nurses In every camp. No faking can pass. The officers have sharp eyes to discriminate between real and simulated Illness. As the boys say, "There are only two times a day when a fellow ;can get sick"—at sick calL which ocjcnrs at 7 a. m., and again at 5:30 p. m. Between times "he Just has to 'stand I t " Regular habits, outdoor life, plain *food, and strenuous military drill, are jin themselves strong factors toward good health, and many a m*n who enters the service a comparative weakling will come out fine of physique and strong of limb. As for drinking, it "isn't done!" Saloons and even soft drink establishments are not allowed to sell anyt h i n g to n soldier in uniform, and I'tnany young men who have heretofore (been occasional drinkers now proudly .^proclaim themselves teetotalers. No Butter at Vaasar. The announcement at Vassar college ithat no more butter will be served at kllnner has caused much discussion, but fthe girls promise to give the plan a trial, says New York World. It is a war measure, established on account <»f the high cost of living. The girls 'will have gravies, Jellies and Jams to take the place of butter. It was said fchat the college would lift the ban ipn butter for dinner Just as soon as Ithere were any complaints. The hard-boiled egg for breakfast lis doomed, too; at least it must not be served where omelet is to be had. Because most of the girls have a •sweet tooth, the college authorities will Increase the sugar service a t all jmeala; but this will be evened up by putting down of m e a t _ Detailed at Helm While Superior! Slept, Youngster Was Blamed for Wreck of Santa Maria. Many phases of the life of Columbus offer mysteries that the historians have never been able to clear away, and one student of the life of the great explorer has come across an incidental mystery that has an appealing interest. It relates to a boy who accompanied the expedition of 1492—the only boy among Its members, and consequently the first white boy to set foot in America. The contemporary accounts of the first expedition of Columbus mention the boy in question only once and that briefly. They indicate that he was the only boy in the expedition and they place on his young shoulders the blame for the great catastrophe that befell when the Santa Maria was wrecked on the coast of Hayti. To be sure the story of the wreck shows that the boy was less to blame than his elders, but it was easy enough to make him the scapegoat It was the night before Christmas, 1492, ten weeks after the discovery of the land, and Columbus was pushing his search for gold among the West Indies. The flagship, the Santa Maria, was skirting the coast of Hayti, and late at night, as the wind was light and the ship barely moving, Columbus went to his cabin for rest. scouts with colored glasses or screens of contrasting colors to use with field glasses, notes Popular Mechanics Magazine. When the colors of these screens are properly selected, uniforms and other objects may be made to appear in contrast Instead of in harmony, with their surroundings, he claims. Camouflage as practiced in many cases is accomplished largely by the use of p a i n t objects being give$ shades, that blend with the landscape. In spite of certain difficulties that would arise, It is believed that such efforts at concealment could be rendered quite ineffectual by the means stated. 8hould Eat Mushrooms. Wild mushrooms are a food that should be more largely utilized in this country now that food is scarce, according to William A. Murrill, assistant director of the New York botanical gardens, who thinks the people should be taught how to distinguish the poisonous from the wholesome varieties. Wild mushrooms are eaten in this country almost exclusively by the foreign-born population. Perplexing.

But he was in S t r a n g waters and the currents were treacherous near that coast, says an exchange. The ship struck a reef. The admiral and crew rushed on deck In terror. Of course they blamed the boy to move into it in the spring. Mrs. Woodworth was employoJ by the Governor in the war risk insurance bureau of the Treasury department. She had many friends who will mourn for her. She was known throughout the state as* an earnest Christian and temperance worker.

S. PERFECTS SHIP THAT CAN NOT SINK THOU8AND8 OF AIRTIGHT AND WATER-TIGHT CELL8 W I L L KEEP VESSEL AFLOAT. SAILS FOR EUROPE THIS WEEK Claimed That Even With Great Holes Torn in Sides, Ship Would Remain On Surface. Washington—The first non-ainkable seagoing ship, the Lucia, achievement of American genius, will load this week and leave for Europe She will be without convoy. She goes as an open challenge to German submarines to prive that she is invulnerable. No test has been made or will be made of the efficacy of her multiplicity of airtight and water-tight cellB. William F. Donnelly, inventor of the non-ainkable construction of the Lucia, a marine engineer of New York, will have charge of loading of the vessel. Although the Lucia is fitted with 12,- 000 of the water and air-tight cells, permanently attached to frames and deck beams and other available spaces of the deck, about 15 to 20 per cent of the cargo space must be packed with additional numbers of these buoyant boxes. Mathematical calculations from small scale experiments, are considered sufficient proof that even with a hole 40 feet long blown in her side she would remain safely afloat, supported by the honeycomb of cells. Each cell is independent of any other for its supporting quality and the great number of them, in addition to the ordinary safety device of watertight doors and other water-tight compartments on every sea-going vessel give so great a degree of bouyancy that two or three torpedoes would not be likely to work havoc enough to sink such a ship. A vessel, so smashed and torn by torpedoes, with gaping holes below the water line could remain on the surface indefinitely, simply waterlogged with no danger to her crew. Unless unusually rent open, she could proceed to a port, however, slowly. In any event neither lives or cargo would be likely to be lost, for succoring vessels either could tow her to port or salvage at the spot the undamaged part of the cargo. LOANS GIVEN WAR FACTORIES Over $150,000,000 Advanced to Small Shops By War Credits Board. Washington—Approximately $150,- 000,000 has been advanced to contractors on war work by the war credits board, the war department announced Monday. This includes money for clothing, food, equipment, small ammunition and similar producton. The advances, made under authority of congress, have stimulated production of munitions and other materials to their highest possible degree. In some caseB they have prevented the closing down of plants because of inability of contractors to get money to meet the payrolls. The law permits advances not exceeding 30 per cent of the contract price for supplies, such advances to be amply secured. The board announces that "when a concern that has a contract with the war department for supplies, has shown that It needs financial assistance and haa been able to comply with the act by giving adequate security, the board haa approved an advance payment and the money haa been received by the contractor without delay.

A group of four convicts were heard the other day chatting about what they were "in for," and each one in turn told his experience. The first had killed a man, the second had put another man's name to a check, while the third one had gone for a plurality of spouses. The fourth man. however, did not seem Inclined to make any disclosures. He was a sanctimonious-looking man, who, although a professional gambler, was called "parson.1' "Come, parson, what brought vou here?" "I don't care to say," said he. "Out with it. Shoot anybody?" asked one. "No, I didn't shoot anyone but since you would like to know, I got 'time' because I didn't build a church:" Deep silence fell upon the group. No such excuse for penal servitude had ever been heard before, and the "parson" was asked to explain. "Well, you see, a congregation raised several thousand dollars to build a church, and handed it over to me to build, and I didn't build it. That's all!" Went Down With the Ship. Attention has been officially called fo the signal bravery of Robert Au.shurne, a navy radio electrician of the first class, who went down when the United States army transport Antilles was sunk. When the ship was struck Ausburne and a fellow electrician named MacMahon were asleep in the radio room, Ausburne, realizing the seriousness of the situation, told his fellow worker to get on his life preserver. As he left to take his emergency station at the radio key he shouted to his companion, "Good-by, Mac." This was the last seen of him. Going to the radio room MacMahon found it locked, and realizing that the ship was fast sinking attempted to get Ausburne out, but without success. Buddie Knew Him.

Messrs. Harris, formerly of Audubon, Iowa, wrote the "Audubon Advocate," expressing their satisfaction of things In Western Canada. They located at Makepeace, Alberta. They say there are those who make good, and those who fail. The former are those that land agents refer to when advertising their land. "But," continues the letter, "A great many of the farmers in this vicinity pay for their land with their first crop. A man near here bought a section of land In the year 1915 for $28 per acre. He broke 800 acres of the land during the summer of 1915. In the fall of 1916 he threshed 16,000 bushels of wheat, which paid for his land, all expenses and had a balance of $4,000. In the fall of 1917 he threshed nearly as much off the other half of the section. At the present time he would not take $50 per acre for his land. "We have had five crops in Alberta. The two dry years (1914-1917) our wheat made 20 and 80 bushels to the acre respectively. In 1916 we raised 50 bushels of wheat to the acre on summer fallow. The best results are obtained by plowing or breaking in the summer, working it down in the fall so that It will retain the moisture. Thus farming one-half your ground each year. "Persons owning land here and still living in the States should, if they don't feel themselves able to come up here and finance themselves until they could get their first crop, get some of their land broken and worked down In the fall before they come. The next spring they could come and put in the crop, fence and put up their buildings. This way they have to wait only one summer for their first crop. "It Is not advisable for a person to come here in the spring, break out land and put it in crop the first year, because the moisture is not in the ground and a failure Is almost certain unless it is an exceptionally wet year. "One of the boys from that locality, Mr. Peder M. Jensen came to Alberta last spring. He bought a 30-60 Rumely Oil-Pull engine on the 8th day of June, 1917. After that date he broke 1,100 acres of prairie sod for which he received an average of $5.00 per acre. "Mr. Hansen from your community, w a s up here last fall with several prospective land buyers from that neighborhood. At that time he inquired the value of the crop on the section w e were farming. We told him that it would probably make in the neighborhood of $12,000. This same crop when sold brought nearly $19,000. The most of it being sold when prices were low for the year."— Advertisement SENSE OF GUILT IN ANIMALS Proof That They Know When They Are Doing Wrong, and Seek to Evade Consequences. In military stables horses ore known to have pretended to be lame In order to avoid going to a military exercise. A chimpanzee had been fed on cake when sick. After his recovery he often feigned coughing in order to procure dainties. 1 The cuckoo, as Is well known, lays its eggs in another bird's nest, and, to make the deception surer, it takes away one o r the other bird's eggs. Animals are conscious of their deceit, as Is shown by the fact that they try to act secretly and noiselessly ; they show a sense of guilt If detected; they take precautions in advance to arouse discovery; in some cases they manifest regret and repentance. Thus, bees which steal hesitate often before and after their exploits, as If they feared punishment. A naturalist describes how his monkey committed theft. While he pretended to sleep the animal regarded film with hesitation. Rnd stopped every time his master moved or seemed on the point of awakening. Toe Fast for the Dictionaries.

That a German submarine endeavored to attack the destroyers while the latter were engaged in rescue work is the statement made by an American officer at another Irish port where a large number of men were landed. The officer said to a correspondent. "The thing that somehow impressed me most in the whole experience was the promptitude and precision with which the British men handled their craft under the trying conditions of rescue work. This work had only just begun when there came the most exciting moments of the night. "A U-boat from the curtain of blackness behind which she was skulking thought to finish the work by an attack on the destroyers. Three torpedoes were discharged in a few minutes at three destroyers and it was only due to the watchfulness of the lookouts and the splendid seamanship of the British Naval men that they failed to reach their targets. "This onslaught, however, revealed the approximate location of the enemy and a pair of destroyers at once at imbs •roa sunk it was afraid to show again." Troops Cool (n Crisis.

Navy officials are inclined to the view that this is an isolated case and have no reason to change their view that the submarine menace has been overcome. Many devices enter into the ba*tlo against the U-boats, some of which have been evolved by American inventors. Others have been greatly improved since the United States entered the war, and the detection apparatus now installed on American craft is so successful that British craft are being similarly equipped. U. S. Craft Feared. There have been indications that the U-boats have learned to fear this ability of American craft to locate ihem at a distance and maneuver to bring the submerged vessel within range of a depth bomb. With a destroyer in the vicinity, the under-water craft, moves carefully, far below the surface, depending on mechanical ears which bring to her the propeller beats of the surface vessel. When a tiestroyer stops to "listen," unhamp. ered by the beat of her own engines, the lurking foe also stops to lie silent below until the destroyer moves ou again. Such details as have come from Europe indicate that the Tuscania was torpedoed by a single submarine, which slipped under the advance screen of destroyers leading the convoy fleet. There is no evidence of ?n attack in force, and the U-boat probably got into the path of the liner largely by chance. Sometimes as many as 40 vessels make up a convoyed fleet.

Battered Bodies Washed Ashore, Cable press dispatches from an Irish port saying that 44 bodies of American soldiers, battered beyond recognition, had been washed ashore 15 miles from the scene of the torpedoing dampened hope that the troop losses would prove very sm .-.11. According to figures given in earlier press dispatches only 101 of those aboard, including soldiers, members of the crew and passengers, were missing. This had led officials to believe that with the heavy loss first indicated among the crew most American soldiers had been saved. The report from the Irish port, which also said that army identification tags found on the bodies of the Roldiers washed ashore bore no names or numbers, making identification impossible, caused considerable speculation. Army regulations require identification tags bearing name, rank, company and regiment of the wearer. Although there was no official confirmation of this report and officials declined to comment, it was pointed out that the dispatches said that the soldiers had not been assigned to definite units.

D. W. Heldt, of the signalmen; A. B. Garretson, of the conductors, and W. G. Lee, of the trainmen, made the charges. W. G. Lee, president of the railway trainmen, said that he had evidence that several railroad men were replaced by inexperienced employes at important gateways, that engines had been permitted to freeze up over night and that rain "crews had been called out and kept waiting until the 16-hour law overtook them before being sent out to the terminal. Asked by Chairman Lane, of the railroad wage commission, who was responsible for these things, Mr. Lee said he believed he could trace it back to about four banks in New York city, which control railroad financing. Custer May Qo Overseas Soon. Camp Custer, Battle Creek—Considable speculation is being indulged in by officers of the command concerning the failure of the war department to order the last quota of the first draft to Camp Custer on February 19. Among some, including men of high authority, it is felt that there is a possibility that the war department intends to call the division for service aa it stands, filling the regiments and other units froca dapati of replacement troopa.

Then with an impulsiveness she did not often show, she lifted her father's hand and kisaed it passionately. "Oh, father," she whispered, "I was so afraid—you wouldn't quite see." She kissed his hand again. Carol looked at her sister respectfully. "Connie," she said, "I certainly beg your pardon. I just wanted to be clever, and didn't know what I was talking about.

There's the danger. Whenever you find anything like that, Connie, will you bring it to me? I think I can find the answer for you. If I don't know It, I will look until I come upon it. For we have been given an answer to every argument you'll come to me, won't you?" "Yes, father, I will—I know you'll find the answers." After the door had closed behind them, Mr. Starr sat for a long time staring straight before him into space. "The Connie problem," he said at last. And then, "I'll have to be better pals with her. Connie's" going to be pretty fine, I believe." CHAPTER X I I I . Boosting Connie. Connie was past fifteen when she an* nounced gravely one day, 'Tve changed my mind. I'm going to be an author." "An author," scoffed Carol. "You! I thought you were going to get married and have eleven children." "Oh, I've plenty of time for them yet, when I find a father for them. Yes, I'm gotng to be an author." "Can you write?" "Of course I can write." "What makes you think you can write, Con?" inquired Lark, with genuine interest. "I have already done it." "Was it any good?" "Tt was fine." Carol and Lark smiled at each other. "Yes," said Carol, "she has the longhaired instinct. I see it now. They always say it Is fine. Was it a masterpiece, Connie T" "Well, considering my youth and Inexperience, it was," Connie admitted, her eyes sparkling appreciatively. Garol's wit was no longer lost upon her. at any rate. "Bring it out. Let's see It I've never met a masterpiece yet—except a dead one." said Lark. "No—no," Connie backed up quickly. "You can't see it, and—don't ask any more about It Has father gone out?" The twins stared at her again. "What's the matter with you?" "Nothing, but it's my story and you can't see i t That settles It Was there any mail today?" Afterward the twins talked it over together. "What made her back down like that?" Carol wondered. "Just when we had her gotng." "Why, didn't you catch onto that? Hhe has sent It off to a magazine, of course, and she doesn't want us to know about i t I saw through It right •way." Carol looked at her twin with new interest. "Did you ever send 'em off?" Lark flushed a little. •Tea, I did, and always got 'em back, too—worse rock. That's why I gave it up." "What did you do with them when they came back?" "Burned them. They always burn them. Connie'll get hers back, and she'll burn it, too," was the laconic answer. "YOB wait until she can't eat a meal, and then you'll know she's got It back. Mflny's the time Prudence made me take medicine. Just because I got a sWry back. Prudence thought It was tummyache. The symptoms are a good bit the same." So Carol watched, and sure enough, there came a day when the bright light of hope in ConmVs eyes gave way to the sober sadness of certainty. Her Tight had failed. And she couldn't eat her dinner. Lark kicked Carol's foot under the tvfcfe, and the two exchanged amused "Connie's not weft,**<taJd Lark with a worried air. *8b* isn't eating * thing. You'd better ^ive her a dose of that tonic, Aunt Grace." "I'm not sick," the crushed young author protested. 'Tm just not hungry." "You can see for yourself," insisted Lark. ^ "Look at her. Isn't she sick? Many'8 the long illness Prudence staved off for me by a dose of this magic tonic. You'd better make her take it, father. You can see she's sick." "You'd better take a tittle, Connie," her father decided. "You don't look very well today." And the aspiring young genius was obliged to swallow the bitter dose. After the meal was over, Carol shadowed Connie closely. Sure enough, she headed straight for her own room, and Carol, close outside, heard a crumpling of paper. She opened the door quickly and went in. Connie turned, startled, a guilty red staining her pale face. Carol sat down sociably on the side of the bed, politely ignoring Connie's feeble attempt to keep the crumpled manuscript from her sight. She engaged her sister in a broad-minded and sweeping conversation, adroitly leading It up to the subject of literature. But Connie would not be inveigled into a confession. Then Carol took a wide leap. "Did you get the story back?" Connie gazed at her with an awe that was almost superstitious. "I sure did," she said. "Hard luck," said Carol, in a matterof- fact voice. "Let's see it." Connie hesitated, but finally passed It over. •Til take It to my own room and read It, if you don't mind." More eagerly than she would have liked Connie to know, Carol curled herself upon the bed to read Connie's masterpiece. It was a simple story, but Connie did have a way of saying things, and—Carol laid it down in her lap and stared at it thoughtfully. Then she called Lark. "Look here," she said abruptly. "Read this. It's the masterpiece." She maintained a perfect silence while Lark perused the crumpled manuscript "Is It any good?" pursued Carol. "Why, yes, I think It is. It's just like folks you know. They talk as we do, and—I'm surprised they didn't keep It. I've read 'em a whole lot worse !** "Connie's disappointed," Carol said. "I think she needs a little boost I believe she'll really get there if we kind of crowd her along for a while. We'll just copy It over, and send It out again." "And if it comes back?" "We'll send it again. We'll get the name of every magazine In the library, and give 'em all a chance to start the newest author on the rosy way." "It'll take a lot of stamps." 'That's so. Well, I have half a dollar," admitted Carol reluctantly. After that the weeks passed by. The twins saw finally the shadow of disappointment leaving Connie's face, and another expression of absorption take its place. "She's started another one," Lark said, wise In her personal experience. And when there came the starry rapt gaze once more, they knew that this one, too, had gone to meet its fate But before the second blow fell, the twins gained their victory. They embraced each other feverishly, and kissed the precious check a hundred times, and Insisted that Connie was the cleverest little darling that ever lived on earth. Then, when Connie, with their father and aunt was sitting in unsuspecting quiet, they tripped In upon her. "We have something to read to you," said Carol beaming paternally at Connie. "Listen attentively. Put down your paper, father. It's Important Go on Larkie." "My dear Miss Starr," read Lark. "We are very much pleased with your story,"—Connie sprang suddenly from her chair—"your story, "When the Rule Worked Backwards.' We are placing it in one of our early numbers, and shall be glad at any time to have the pleasure of examining more of your work. We inclose our check for fortyfive dollars. Thanking you, and assuring you of the satisfaction with which we have read your story, I am, "Very cordially yours,'*— T r a , lalalalala!" sang the twins, dancing around the room, waving, one the letter, the other the check. Connie's face was pale, and she caught her head with both hands, laughingly nervously. T m going round," she gasped. "Stop me." Carol promptly pushed her down In a chair and eat upon her lap. "Pretty good—eh, whatf* "Oh, Carol, don't say that. It sounds' awful," cautioned Lark. "What do you think about It, Con nie? Pretty fair boost for * Strug gling young author, don't you think V Family, arise! The Chautauqua salute! We have arrived. Connie is an author. Forty-five dollars!" "But however did you do it?" wondered Connie breathlessly. "Why, we sent it out, and—" "Just once?" "Alas, no—we sent it seven times." Connie laughed excitedly. "Oh, oh! —forty-five dollars! Think of i t Oh, father!" "Where's the story," he asked, a little jealously. "Why didn't you let me look It over, Connie?" "Oh, father, I—couldn't. I—I—I felt shy about it. You don't know how It 18 father, but—we want to keep them hidden. We don't get proud of them until they've been accepted." "Forty-five dollars." Aunt Grace kissed her warmly. "And the letter Is worth a hundred times more to us than that. And when we see the story—" "We'll go thirds on the money, twins," said Connie. The twins looked eager, but conscientious. "No," they said, "it's just a boost, you know. We can't take the money." "Oh, you've got to go thirds. You ought to have it all. I would have burned It." "No, Connie," said Carol, "we know you aren't worth devotion like ours, but we donate it just the same—it's gratis." "All right," said Connie. "I know what you want, anyhow. Come on, auntie, let's go down town. I'm afraid that silver silk mull will be sold before we get there." The twins fell upon her ecstatically. MOh, Connie, you mustn't. We can't allow It. Oh, of course if you insist, dearest, only—" And then they rushed to find hats and gloves for their generous sister and devoted aunt. The second story came back in due time, but with the boost still strong in her memory, and with the fifteen dollars in the bank, Connie bore it bravely and started it traveling once more. Most of the stories never did find a permanent lodging place, and Connie carried an old box to the attic for a repository for her mental fruits that couldn't make friends away from home. But she never despaired again. And the twins, after their own manner, calmly took to themselves full credit for the career which they believed lay not far before her. CHAPTER XIV. A Millionaire's Son. "If Jim doesn't ask for a date for the concert next week, Lark, let's snub him good." "Oh, don't worry. He always asks. You have that same dlscussiou every time there's anything going on. It's just a waste of time." Mr. Starr looked up from his mall. "Complexion and boys with Carol, books and boys with Lark, Connie, If you begin that nonsense you'll get spanked. One member of my family shall rise above It, if I have to do it with force." Connie blushed. The twins broke into open derision. "Connie 1 Oh, yes, Connie's above that nonsense." "Connie's the worst In the family, father, only she's one of those reserved, supercilious souls who doesn't tell everything she knows." "'Nonsense.' I wish father could have heard Lee Hanson last night It would have been a revelation to him. 'Aw, go on, Connie, give us a kiss/ " Connie caught her lips between her teeth. Her face was scarlet "Twins!" "It's a fact, father. He kept us awake. 'Aw, go on, Connie, be good to a fellow.*" "I—I—" began Connie defensively. "Well, we know it. Don't interrupt wh^n we're telling things. You always spoil a good story by cutting in. 'Aw, go on, Connie, go on, now!' And Connie said—" The twins rocked off in a paroxysm of laughter, and Connie flashed a murderous look at them. "Well, I—" "Give us time. Connie. We're coming to that And Connie said, Tm going In now; Tm sleepy.' " "I didn't—father. I didn't r "Well, you might have said a worse thing than that," he told her sadly. "I mean—I—" "She did say It," cried the twins. •* Tm sleepy.' Just like that" "Well, it would make you sick," declared Connie, wrinkling up her nose to express her disgust. "Are boys always like that father T 'Don't ask me," he hedged promptly. "How should I knowr "On, Connie, hew can you! There's father—now, he never cared to Was the girls even In hi* bad sad balmy days, did you, daddy? Oh, no, father was all for the strictly orthodox even In his youth !" Mr. Starr returned precipitately to his mail, and the twins calmly resumed the discussion where It had been interrupted. A little later a quick exclamation from their father mude them turn to him inquiringly. "It's a shame," he said, and again: "What a shame 1" "Why, it's a letter from Andrew Hedges—an old college chum of mine. His son is going West and Andy is sending him around this way to see me and meet my family. He'll be here this afternoon. Isn't it a shame?" "Isn't It lovely?" exclaimed Carol. "We can use him to make Jim Forrest jealous if he doesn't ask for that date?" And she rose up and kissed her father. "Will you kindly get back to your seat, young lady, and not Interfere with my thoughts?" he reproved her sternly but with twinkling eyes. "The trouble is I have to go to Fort Madison on the noon train for that Epworth League convention. I'd like to see that boy. Andy's done well, I guess. Tve always heard so. He's a millionaire, they say." For a long second his daughters gazed at him speechlessly. Then, "A millionaire's son," Lark faltered feebly. "But I have to go to Fort Madison. 1 am on the program tonight. There's the puzzle." "Oh. father, you can leave him to us," volunteered Lark. "We'll be lovely, Just lovely. A millionaire's son! Oh, yes, daddy, you can trust him to us all right" At last he caught the drift of their enthusiasm. "Ah I I see ! That fatal charm. You're sure you'll treat him nicely?" "Oh, yes, father, so sure. A millionaire's son. We've never even seen one yet" "Now, look here, girls, fix the house up and carry it off the best you can. n i be gone until the end of the week, since Tm on for the last night too. Will you do your best?" After his departure. Carol gathered the family forces about her without a moment's delay. "A millionaire's son." she prefaced her remarks, and as Rhe had expected, was rewarded with Immediate attention. "Now, for darling father's salre. we've got to manage this thing the very best we can. We have to make this Andy Hedges, millionaire's son, think we're just about all right, for father's sake. We must have a generous dinner, to start with. We'll plan that a little later. Now I think. Aunt Grace, lovely, it would be nice for you to wear your lavender lace gown, and look delicate, don't you? A chaperoning auntie in poor health is so aristocratic. You rjust wear the lavender satin slippers and have a bottle of cologne to lift frequently to your sensitive nostrils." "Why, Carol, William wouldn't like It!" "Wouldn't like it!" ejaculated the schemer In surprise. "Wouldn't like it! Why wouldn't he like it? Didn't he tell us to create a good impression f Well, this Is i t You'll make a lovely semi-invalid auntie. You must have a faintly perfumed handkerchief to press to your eyes now and then. It Isn't hot enough for you slowly to. wield a graceful fan, but we can get along without it" "But, Carol—" "Think how pleased dear father will be if his old college chum's son Is properly Impressed," Interrupted Carol hurriedly, and proceeded at once with hef plans. (TO BE CONTINUED.) WASH THE KIDNEYS! All the blood in the body passes thru the kidneys every few minutes. This is why the kidneys play such an important role in health or disease. By some mysterious process the kidney selects what ought to come out of the blood and j takes It out If the kidneys are not good-workmen and become congested— poisons accumulate and we suffer from backache, headache, lumbago, rheumatism or gout. The urine is often cloudy, full of sediment; channels often get sore and sleep Is disturbed at night. So it Is that Dr. Pierce, of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute In Buffalo, N.Y.. advises "Washing the Kidneys," by drinking six to eight glasses of water between meals and then If you want to take a harmless medicine that will clear the channels and cure the annoying symptoms, go to your druggist and get Anuric (double strength), for 60c. This "Anuric," which is so many times more potent than llthia—will drive out the uric acid poisons and bathe the kidneys and channels In a soothing liquid. If you desire, write for free medical advice and send sample of water for free examination. Experience has taught Doctor Pierce that "Anuric" is a most powerful agent In dissolving uric acid, as hot water melts sugar. Send Dr. Pierce 10c for trial package. Artificial Wood From Leaves. Artificial wood from dried leaves-- especially those of oak. beech or birch —is a new product, reported .from Austria, using even cheaper waste material than the sawdust already similarly utilized. The leaves are finely ground, mixed with a suitable binder, shaped In molds under a pressure of 350 atmospheres, and dried by heat while still under pressure. The best binder Is stated to be viscose, though this may be strengthened by the addition of a little glue, water-glass, casein, rosin, or other substance. The ground leaves are boiled with soda lye before mixing with the solution of via* cose \ and the viscose may be prepared from a portion of the leaf powder by treating with soda lye and then with carbon disulphide. Coloring matter may be added to the leaf powder or to the pasty mixture. Some filler may be desirable for special purposes, and the materials suitable Include asbestos, infusorial earth, wood flour am' peat flour. Remembered His Arithmetic. Another thing that will puzzle our soldiers Is English money. One time an American who was the worse for drink was traveling In a railway carriage when the guard asked for his ticket. "Got none! Lerame 'lone!" maundered the Yank. The guard took out his ticket schedule. "Five and six, please," he said tersely. "Wharat?" queried the tipsy one. "Five and six, please," repeated the guard. "Eleven," said the Yank. "Now move along to the next boy." Motor Horn In War. Now the motor horn has taken its place in warfare and many a honk may be heard along the firing-line trenches. The horns are used for signaling purposes only. They are placed on the parapet of the trench, facing Inward, and are connected by wires leading to the stations of the commanders. Closing a contact seta them honking all up the line and conveys a signal to the Men, which may be heard above the din of battle. Too Late. "Did you draft that star pitcher for our team?" "No, I didn't draft him. Uncle Sam beat me to him." Conservation of space is a good idea—but a man doesn't have to locate a brewing-vat In his stomach. A man may make a profitable business reputation even by the way he scrapes and washes his barn. our comfortable, heaWre well-to-do Qeigpbor uses IttSTAMT POSTUM instead of coflee.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, F e b . 7, J 918 No.£ mmmm—m MMk\ f SENT TO FRANCE t Nian Prk* Rigidly Regulated y United States Food Admlnletratton. (CONSUMERS HERE PAY 9C. tougar Co«t 35 Genu a Pound During Civil War—Refiners' Proflta Now Curtailed. Sugar la selling today throughout (America at from «H to 0 centa a pound to the consumer, even though Ithere la a worrd shortage which haa (reduced tills nation's sugar allotment I to 70 per cent of norm a L Through the efforts of the United [States food administration the sugar succeeded In sending 85,000 tons by December 1. The French request waa granted because the American house-' hold consumption waa then at least 65 pounds per person, and it waa considered the duty of maintaining the French morale made our course clean" Today the sugar situation may fee summarized by stating that If America will raduoe ita sugar ooosumptlon 10 to 18 par oent this nation will be able to aend 200,000 more soldiers to France. Sugar today sells at seaboard refineries at ¢7.25 a hundred pounds. The wholesale grocer has agTeed to limit his profit to 25 cents a hundred j plus freight, and the retail grocer la, supposed to take no more than 60 centa j a hundred pounds profit Thla regulation was made by the food administration, which now asks the housewife to reduce sugar consumption as much as possible, using other sweeteners, and also reminds her that she should pay no more than 9 centa a pound for sugar. Control of Cane Refiners' Profits. "Immediately upon the establish- ( ment of the food administration." Mr.; market has been regulated as far as i Hoover said, "an examination waa the producer, refiner and wholesaler made of the costa and profits of reflnis concerned. The food administration j ing and it was finally determined that ,has no pqwer to regulate retail prices the spread between the cost of raw jexcept by public opinion. Even though and the sale of refined cane sugar more than 85,000 tons of sugar have should be limited to $1.80 per hundred been shipped to France In the last j. pounds. The pre-war differential had 'four months the retail grocer's sugar i averaged about 85 cents and Increased price Is around 8 to 8½ cents. He costs were found to have been lmposshould sell this sugar at 8½ to 9 ed by the war in increased cost of recents, the food administration believes, ; fining, losses, cost of bags, labor, lnsurnnd asks the American housewife to ance, Interest and other things, rather pay no more than this amount more than cover the difference. After Last August when the food admin- , prolonged negotiations the refiners istration was organised the price of ! were placed under a-reexnent estab- -*mmr rose suddenly to 11 cents a Ashing these limits on October 1, anfl t o u n d . TO?urlTthe Civil War sugar anything over this amount to be agreed .cost the consumer 35 cents a pound, extortionate under the law By regulation of the sugar market and "In the ^ s \ 0 l ^ J ^ 1 ^ ' reducing the price to 8½ and 0 cents tlons It was found by ennvnai Of the- ,nd keeping It from a<h-rmolng to 20 Cuban producers that their augar had rents th ?food administration hna RHV- during the first nine months of the ed the American public at least SlSO, rnst year, .old for ar.average of about 000,000 in four months, according to S4.24 per hundred t o . b Cuba, to a statement made by Herbert Hoover which duty and frei.h ^ ^ fo the t l i a , t h p r ( , „ v refiners' cost amount to about so.ou 1 e J A t , . t. ' per hundred. The average sale price "It is our s;ern duty to feet the al- ] a t e d b y v a r l o u s reflnerie*, a c lies, to maintain their health and b ^ ^ investigation, was about strength at a n y . cost to ouraelvea, • d l f l tiftl o f .Mr. Hoover declared. "There has not J ' - ^ P e r u been, nor will be as we see it, enough sugar for even their present meagre and depressing ration unless they send ships to remote markets for i t If we ,in our greed and gluttony force them either to further reduce their ration 'or to send these ships we will have 'done damage to our abilities to win this war. " I f we ssnd the ships to Java for 250,000 tons of sugar next year we will have necessitated the employment of eleven extra ships for one year. These ships—If used In trsnsportlng troops—would taka 150,000 to 200,000 men to Franca." Reason for World Shortage. As Mr. Hoover pointed out, the United States, Canada and England were sugar importing countries before Ithe war, while France and Italy were very nearly aelf supporting. The main aources of the world's sugar supply was Germany and neighboring powers, -the West Indies and the East Indies. German sugar Is no longer available, as it is used entirely in Germany, which also absorbs sugar of surrounding countries, England can no longer buy 1,400,000 long tons of sugar each year from Germany. The French sugar production has dropped from 750,000 to 210,- 000 tons. The Italian production has fallen from 210,000 tons to 75,000 tons. Thus three countries were thrown 'upon East and West Indian sources for 1,925,000 tons annually to maintain their normal consumption. Because of the world's shipping shortage the allied nations started drawing on the West Indies for sugar; East Indian sugar took three times the number of ships, since the distance was three times as g r e a t Suddenly the west was called on to fur- Blah and did furnish 1,420,000 tons of sugar to Europe when 800,^00 tona a year was the pre-war demand. The allies had drawn from Java 400,000 tona before the shipping aitnatlon beoame acute., "In aplte of these shipments, Mr. Hoover stated the other day, "the English government In August reduced the household augar ration to a basis of 24 pounds per annum per capita. And In September the French government reduced their household ration to 13 2-10 pounds a year, or a b4t over 1 pound of sugar a month. Even thla meagre ration could not be filled b j ^he French government It w o found ^ttrtj In the f*lL America wn« then jgkoCfet 1 0 0 ^ J e n t ^ t 3 e L » $1.84. "In reducing the differential to $1.80 there was a saving to the public of 54 cents per hundred. Had such a differential been in use from the 1st of January, 1917. the public would have saved In the first nine months of the year about $24,800,000." Next Year. With a view to more efficient organization of the trade In Imported sugars next year two committees have been formed by the food administration: 1. A committee comprising representatives of all of the elements of American cane refining groups. The principal duty of this committee is to divide the sugar imports pro rata to their various capacities and see that absolute Justice is done to every refiner. 2. A committee comprising three representatives of the BngUsh, French and Italian governments; two representatives of the American refiners, with a member of the food administration. Only two of the committee have arrived from Europe, but they represent the allied governments. The duties of this committee are to determine the most economical sources from a transport point of view of all the allies to arrange transport at uniform rates, to "distribute the foreign sugar between the United States and allies, subject to the approval of the American, English, French and Italian governments. This committee, while holding strong views as to the price to be paid for Cuban sugar, has not had the final voice. This voice has rested In the governments concerned, together with the Cuban government, and I wish to state emphatically that all of the gentlemen concerned as good commercial men have endeavored with the utmost patience and skill to secure a lower price, and their persistence has reduced Cuban demands by 13 cents per hundred The price agreed upon- is about $4.60 per hundred pounds, f. o. b. Cuba, or equal to about $6 duty paid New York. T h l a price should eventuate," Mr. Hoover said, "to about $7.30 per hundred for refined sugar from tha refiners at seaboard polnta or should place sugar In the hands of tha consumer at from 8 ¼ to • centa per pound, depending upon locality and conditions of trade, or at from 1 to 1 cents bdow the arioso of Atsftiot toot and from naj! to I eont nor pound than today. "There la now an, elimination of speculation, extortionate profits, and in tha refining alone the American people will save over $20,000,000 of the refining charges last year. A part of those savings goea to the Cuban, Hawaiian, Porto Rican and Lous Ian Ian producer and part to the consumer. "Appeals to prejudice against the food administration have been made because tho Cuban price is 84 cents above that of 1917. It is said in effect that the Cubans are at our mercy j that we could get sugar a cent lower. We made exhaustive study of the cost of producing sugar In Cuba last year through our own agents in Cuba, and we find it averages $8.89, while many producers are at a higher level. We found that an average profit of at least a cent per pound was necessary in order to maintaia and stimulate production or that a minimum price of $4.87 was necessary, and even this would stifle some producers. "The price ultimately agreed was 28 cents above these figures, or about onefifth of a cent per pound to the American consumer, and moro than thla amount has been saved by our reduction In refiners' profits. If we wish to stifle production in Cuba we could take that course Just at the time of all times In our history when we want production for ourselves and the allies. Further than that, the state department will assure you that such a course would produce disturbances in Cuba and destroy even our present supplies, but beyond all these material reasons is one of human Justice. This great country has no right by the might of Its position to strangle Cuba. "Therefore there is no Imposition upon the American public Charges have been made before this committee that Mr. Rolph endeavored to benefit the California refinery of which he was manager by this 34 cent increase in Cuban price. Mr. Rolph did not fix the price. It does raise the price to the Hawaiian fanner about that amount It does not raise the profit of the California refinery, because their charge for refining is, like all other refiners, limited to $1.30 per hundred pounds, plus the freight differential on the established custom of the trade. "Mr. Rolph has not one penny of interest in that refinery."

W. J. Hunan, Canada's Food Controller, says :— "Authoritative Information has reached me that food shortage iu Europe is terribly real, and only the sternest resolve on the part of the producers, and equally stern economies on the part of all as consumers, can possibly save the situation. "France last year hud a crop between one-third and one-half that of a normal year. Women did the work of draught animals in a determined effort to make the Impoverished soil of France- produce every [>osslble ounce of food. They now look to us to make up their deficiency of essential supplies. "The harvest in Italy was far below normal and will require much larger supplies to feed her people until next harvest. "It is impossible for the allies to spare many cargo carriers to transport foodstuff from India, Australia, New Zealand and even the Argentine Republic. This means that the allied nations are practically dependent upon North America to supply them with tlie food which must be forthcoming if terrible suffering is to be avoided and the fighting efficiency of the armies maintained. "On December 1, the United States had not a single bushel of wheat for export, after allowance was made for domestic requirements on the basis of normal consumption, and the United States Food Administration is endeavoring to bring about a reduction of 20 per cent in home consumption of wheat and flour. .This would release 100,000,- 000 bushels for export, but the Allies will require nearly five times that amount before the 1918 harvest. Canada is the only country in the world, practically accessible to the Allies under present conditions of shipping shortage, which has an actual exportable surplus of wheat after allowance for normal home requirements. The surplus today is not more than 110,000,000 bushels. A reduction of 20 per cent In our normal consumption would save an additional 10,000,000 bushels for export. The outlook for production of food stuffs in Europe next year is distinctly unfavorable. ".Such Is the situation—grave beyond anything that we thought possible a few months ago. Unless our people are aroused to a realization of what the world shortage means to us, to our soldiers and to our Allies, and of the terrible ;>osslbilitle* which it entails, disaster is inevitable. "Production, too, must he increased to the greatest possible extent. Present war conditions demand extraordinary efforts, and every man, woman, boy or girl who can produce food has a national duty to do so. "I am confident that when the people of this country realize that the food situation Is of utmost gravity they will willingly adjust themselves to the necessities of the case and make whatever sacrifices may be required. The call which is made upon them is In the name of the Canadian soldiers at the front, the allied armies, and the civilian populations of the allied nations who have already made food sacrifices to an extent little realized by the people of this country." Here Is an appeal made by a man, upon whom rests the great responsibility of assisting rn providing food for the allies and the soldiers at the front, who are fighting the battles in mud and Mood. It cannot be Ignored. At home we are living in luxury and extravagance Inclined to idleness and forgetfulneas. This must cease. We roost save and produce. Our lands must be tilled no matter where it may be, in Canada or the United States. It Is our duty to cultivate. Splendid opportunities in the United States are open for further cultivation of lands. Weste r n Canada also offers opportunities in high producing lands at low prices. Decide for yourself where you can do the most good, on land In the United States or in Canada, and get to work -qoickly.—Advertisement. The Relative Cost A physician teas called In one of the suburban towns to a boy who was suftertag from tonstlttis.

CONFINED IN WOODEN CAGES Conditions Terrible, Report Says,- Prieoners Underfed, No Care Given 111 Men. Italian Army Headquarters—Exchanged Italian prisoners who have just arrived from Austrian concentration camps tell of almost unbelievable cruelties practiced against prisoners, particularly Serbians, who are reported confined in cages and fed through bars like animals. An authoritative summary of the statements of these returned prisoners says: "Treatment of the Serbians is even worse than that of the Italians, indicating that Austria intends to destroy the Serbians as a race. As a result of these conditions there are up to now not less than 30,000 to 40,000 dead from starvation. They are permitted to receive no parcels and are unable to work, because of weakness. Kept in Wooden Cages. They are put like animals in cages with wooden bars. Through these bars the keeperes throw them scraps of un. eatable bread, carrots and turnips as their sole sustenance. The mortality, already great, is increasing, as they are given no care and there are no doctors and no sanitation." Concerning the Italians, the statement says they returned in rags after suffering ill treatment and exposure to cold while compelled to work on enemy trenches under the guard of Hungarians, who are declared to be particularly hostile to the Italians. They received a small loaf of bread daily for division among eight men. Conditions are so terrible, the report says, that they will result in not more than one-third of the Italian prisoners coming back alive. * Seven Years in Prison Given * • 8oldier Who Mutilated Hand. * * Greenville, S.

BLOOD POISON STRIKES CUSTER Four Soldier* Die In Two Days From New Malady. Camp Custer, Battle Creek—On January 31 and February 1, four soldiers died, and an uncertain number are suffering In the base hospital, from general septicemia, usually known as blood poisoning. The dead are Merrill S. Gibbs, 310th supply train. Grass Lake; Alfred Johnson, Co. M, 337th infantry, Bdmore; Ralph M. Canfleld, 16th engineers, Martin; Alfred Hughes, 160th depot brigade, Morris, III Reports Issued at the base hospital are to the effect that a large number of serious cases of infection have been developing of late. Apparently trivial cuts or lesions develop this infection, and the condition of the men rapidly becomes critical. Sore throats and tonsilitis have, It is stated, developed in to septicemia. The long, unbroken spell of severe weather, which has not only caused the confinement of men to their quarters, but has created conditions which have depressed the soldiers mantally, is blamed by the surgeons for the appearance of the new menace to camp health. Snow Plows Fail to Clear Tracks. Battle Creek—Two steam and two electric plows, worting coatineonsly since the bltssard of Jannary 11, hare failed to open the Mae of the Michigan Railway from Battle Creole and Kalav to Oread Rapids, so S*0 hired last weak to a way ffcrisagti the eaow for Washington—What the American Red Cross has done with the vast sums of money entrusted to it by ihe veople of the United States i« stated in detail in a report just issued by iho national headquarters. To date, $79,460,727.35 has been appropriated foj nliet work in this couutry and ah mad. For foreign relief $44,657,795 has been appropriated as follows: France, $30,519,259.60; BsMum, $1,999,631; llu?Ria, ?7ol 940.87; Houmania, $2,61f.. 398.76; Italy, $3,146,016; Seriba. $S7J, 180.76; ('.rent Britain. $1,703,642; other foreign countries, $2,536,300; American soldiers who may be taken prisoner, $343,627. The foregoing appropriations are from the time the United States en tcred the war until April 30, 1918. For the United States the Red Cross has appropriated $2,G12,532.60 and the reason this sum is not larger is because Ihe government proVides nearly everything our army and navy needs, and besides, there is no civilian distress in this country of any considerable proportions. The great variety of the military and civilian relief work being done by f he Red Cross is indicated briefly in the following list: canteens that afford food, baths and sleeping quarters for men at the front; rest stations and recreation centers for soldiers in tiansit and at port of arrival in Prance; care of destitute children; furnishing supplies to 4,000 hospitals; teaching mutilated soldiers new trades; reconstruction of villages; bringing together families of soldiers scattered by the war; farms for convalescent soldiers; sanitariums for tubercular and other patients; food, clothing, medicine, and shelter for the homeless and destitute; and other activities too numerous to mention. It is stated by the national war council that all salaries and administrative expenses are paid out of membership dues, so that every penny given to the Red Cross war fund has been spent for relief. This answers the rumois tnat have been circulated about the expenses of operation. Out of 255 executives in the fourteen divisional offices of the Red Cross In the United States, 59 per cent are women. The policy is to select the most competent persons regardless of politics, sex or religion. Washington—The first draft army will be completed February 23. The final quotas from those states which have not furnished their full strength will be sent to camp that date. Orders to this effect have gone out from Washington, it was understood the first of the week. Advance supplies of equipment for the new contingents now are being assembled at the camps and cantonments in various sections of the country. Secretary of War Baker has insisted on the accumulation of ample stocks of clothing and other necessary supplies before the additional men reach camp. The work is being rushed. Advices that clothing and supplies would be ready in time were received before the provost marshal general decided on the order requiring the induction of the final quotas into military service. An aggregate of about 75,000. men will be sent to camp under the new orders. The date of the second draft call is dependent on the removal of troops now in training. There is no plan under consideration which calls for the construction of new cantonments or extensive enlargements of the existing camps. The second draft apparently will not apply to all states simultaneously. Transfer of the men of the first national army is regulated by the availability of ships. As transports become available, contingents which have completed their home trainng will be sent abroad. Registrants to be called under the second draft will be ordered into military service as camp space becomes available. Costs Less Mum and Kills W That Cold CASCARA fc?

In the big cities the registrants report to the police stations and in the smaller towns at post offices. Austrians, Hungarians, German women and German boyB less than 14 years old need not register. The government wishes it clearly understood that there is no blame to be attached to any particular German and warns officials to be courteous to all registrants. It also reminds the Germans that in registering "they are giving proof of their peaceful disposltionr and of their intention to conform to the laws of the United States.' Plenty of Water.

The eastern end of the battle line in the west front runs through French and German Lorraine. According to dispatches, two Americans were killed and nine wounded during a heavy bombardment Saturday, the American artillery sending back shell for shell. It was ascertained Monday that the American gunners wrecked several enemy dugouts and so badly damaged the first line positions that at one point the Germans were unable to occupy them Sunday.

I have been told by * ^ ^ " * those who knew him as a child In LaRue county, Kentucky, where he was born, that he never threw stones at songbirds, or at birds of pretty plumage, and that he never failed to Intercede in behalf of the dog that was being kicked by its Master, says Rogers Gore, picturing the life of the martyred president as a boy. "Little Abe," as he was known bf his limited number of neighbors a*d acquaintances, was fond of dogs. Aestin Gollaher, Lincoln's playmate, v*iK> died a t Hodgenville in LaRue county, told me the Lincoln family had nsore dogs than they could support, and that most of the dogs had followed "Little Abe" home a t various tknes. Lincoln's favorite dog was one h» foundjupon the roadside with a broken leg. *He carried the dog home in Ms arms and set the broken limb, "and tisat dog," said Mr. Gollaher, "was the beet rabbit dog Abe ever had." While trapping in those days was a necessity, young Lincoln disliked it be-' cafase it caused suffering to God's ( creatures. I learn this story from the traditions in LaRue county. Tom Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln's father, was fond of trapping. Besides finding much sport in the vocation he provided meat and furs for his family. His traps ware scattered along the south fork of Nolynn river, and, of course, his son Abraham knew just where each trap was located. "Little Abe" believed it an unpardonable sin to catch too much game, ami he frequently visited the traps and liberated some of the game before his father could make the rounds. Austin Gollaher related a story to me about a visit he and Abe once ma,de to Tom Lincoln's traps, when they were caught in the act of liberating a red fox from one of the snares. Tom Lincoln came up, Mr. Gollaher said, Just as Abraham was about to cut the cord which was looped under the forefeet of the fox. To avoid the whipping Abe knew was forthcoming, he and young Gollaher made for tall timber. Mr. Gollaher said that "Little Abe" nerer was whipped when Mrs. Lincoln was present to make Intercessions. "And for that reason," said Mr. Gollaher, "we endeavored to reach the Lincoln cabin in advance of Tom Lincoln for the ordeal." Undaunted When Lad in Woods. In taking an indirect route the boys wete lost in the wo^ds. "We spent t a t entire day," said Mr. Gollaher, "in trying to find the trail, but to no avail. I gave up in despair, but Abe neither shewed fear nor discouragement, and wa* persistent In his endeavors to find a way out of our troubles. Evening wa* advancing too rapidly to suit me, and I was becoming thoroughly panicstricken, but the strong heart of Abraham was apparently undaunted. Abe rebuked me for my faint-heartedness, and said: 'Why, we'll sharpen a pole and climb a tree, and the wolves cannot get u s ; we can punch their eyes OT& when they rear up on the trunk of the tree!' But Just as the las* stseak of dayMght was going out I heard a voice, and with all my might I yelled: *Here we are!' 'Shot your asasth,' said Abe, 'that's pa, and he'll w%lp m e / Sure enough, it was Tom XJbeeln, but Mrs. Lincoln was with Mm* and Abe did not get the whippa*." Lincoln's wit developed early in life. I have been told that when he was a mere chIM his retorts blazed from Ms droll tongue in a manner that always made the/offender wince. A man by the Bame of Woodson once kicked "Little Abe's" lam© dog; the dog retaliated by biting the fellow on the leg. Woedaen then decided That the dog should be killed, and in the presence of "Little Abe" made known his decree. "My leg is already swelling," said Weedson, "and I am afraid It will have to be cat off." "If t h a f s BO," retorted "Little Abe," T m «orry my dog did not bite yon on the head." Aostrn Gollaher rescued Lincoln from Knob creek, a amaU river in the ririnJry of the Gollaher home. Upon thrs day lira. Lincoln had paid a viatt to lire. Gollaher* and while the moth* ere were a t their knitting the little eons went flatJag. l a attempting to crow a footing t i t t l e Abe" fell into Or/.//YCO/./Y a deep hole of water. "I just poked heard the brush breaking ahead of him my pole," related Mr. Gollaher, him. With a wave of his hand he "and pulled him to the bank. That was one time 'Little Abe' was scared," continued Mr. Gollaher, "but he was not too badly frightened to grin and say: 'I hope I can do that much for you some day, Austin.' He really wanted something to happen to me that he might be placed in an attitude of having saved my life. 'Little Abe' was full of gratitude and spent a lot of his time trying to find some way to help those who had been good to him. He often said to me that if he ever found a gold mine there were just three people he would take Into his confidence; one was myself, and the other two were his mother and Mr. Hodgen, the miller. I asked him whether or not he would tell his father, and he said. 'No, It would worry pa, because he wouldn't want to dig.' " Preacher Kept His Cap. An old woman gave Lincoln a cap which she had made out of fox fur. "It was his Sunday cap," said Mr. Gollaher, "and Abraham was proud of It. A Journeyman preacher passed through the country one day and stopped at Uje Lincoln cabin. He decided to hold a meeting In the neighborhood. During the series of revivals the preacher lost his hat, and Mrs. Lincoln loaned 'Little Abe's' cap to the minister. I t was never returned. Abraham asked me what I thought of the preacher, and I told him that I thought that the fellow was a rascal. 'Well, Austin,' said Abraham, 'you know mother- has been telling us about the thief on the cross; I wish the Jews would catch this thief.' 'Little Abe' said that he would always be good, but that he would never join a church. He never forgot the preacher who stole the cap, and he frequently said to me that he never wanted another Sunday cap—one at a time was enough." Tom Lincoln was of a roving disposition. He was frequently away from home for days at a time. During Tom Lincoln's visits into the wilderness "Little Abe" was his mother's only protection. H e never left his mother while Tom Lincoln was away, except to visit his traps, and Mrs. Lincoln often accompanied him on these errands. Austin Gollaher told me, a short time before he died, that Tom Lincoln owned two flintlock rifles; one of these guns he carried with him and ,the other he left at home. "During Tom Lincoln's absence on one occasion." said Mr. Gollaher, "the leader in the larder in the Lincoln home became bare. There was a deep snow upon the ground, and, since the nearest neighbor of the Lincoln's lived several miles away, it was apparent to Mrs. Lincoln that she and Tittle Abe* must find some game close to the Lincoln cabin or perish of hunger. Mrs. Lincoln was a courageous woman; she faced a conflict with as much determination as any woman in the world. Early one morning she told 'Little Abe' of the true condition of the cabin home, and said to him, 'We must go oot today and try to find some game.' Abraham Insisted upon an early start and he begged that he be permitted to cany the rifle. Mr*. Lincoln consented, and the two started oot in the tares* la Quest of food. They Had proceeded bnt a short distance when Abe warned his mother; in a moment a fawn attempted to pass within a few feet of Abe and Mrs. Lincoln. Abe fired and the fawn fell dead In Its tracks, a bullet in Its heart. The Lincoins had enough meat to last them through the remainder of the winter. 'Little Abe' did not feel proud of having killed the young deer. He said to me the next time I saw him : 'Austin, I killed a little deer; it was a pretty thing, and I hated to kill It, but we needed meat. Mother said it was all right and I guess she knows. I didn't take aim and I know It was an accident.' Lincoln's Adventurous Spirit. A quarter of a mile west of Hodgenville there is a cave with an entrance in a cliff overlooking Nolynn river. There are few boys who ever lived In Hodgenville any length of time who have not explored this cave. Abraham Lincoln was no exception. A number of years ago an old man by the name of Brownfleld told me that Lincoln, when a small child wus lost In this particular cavern, and that he spent the entire night In the cave. "He was treed," said Mr. Brownfleld, "by his faithful dog the next morning." From notes which I made at the time I am enabled to relate the narrative In Mr. Brownrleld's own language, or practically in his own language: "While Lincoln did not possess as adventurous a nature as some boys," said Mr. Brownfleld, "he had just enough of the boyish curiosity in him to cause him to attempt the hazardous task of finding 'hidden gold' In caves. It was late In the evening of early spring (I cannot recall the year) that the neighbors were notified that little Abe Lincoln was lost; that he had left home In the afternoon to go to Hodgens' mill, but that late In the evening he had not returned. Tom Lincoln spread the news, telling all the neighbors that 'Little Abe's mamma was beside herself, she being afraid that the Injuns had carried her boy away.' The neighbors gathered at the home of Tom Lincoln, bringing with them torches of pine knots. The woods were scoured, and the hallooing kept up till daylight, but no trace of "Little Abe' was found. Again the searchers gathered at the Lineoln cabin to consult with each other as to the best course to pursue, but before any plan of search was agreed upon Little Abe' and his rabbit dog came moseying up. Young Lincoln bad left his sack of corn at the mill, and while waiting his torn decided to stroll down the river Just to see how the "land lay" beyond the confines of Hodgen's mill. He found the cave, hurriedly dreamed a dream of hidden treasures, and in be went, Implicitly believing that he would come forth with an abundance of gold. He could neither find gold or the exit of the cave. Early in the morning of the next day his faithful dog, following the trail of t i t t l e Abe's' footsteps, treed Mm,' and ted the way out of the hole In the ground that Abe had polled in after him. Tom Lincoln piled the hickory, bnt the good mother took l i t t l e Abe' to her bosom, hugged him tightly, and then gave freely to him of her eornbread am) FOOD PRICE TO BE NAMED BY STATE FOOD ADMINISTRATION PLANS "SUGGESTING" PRICES TO PREVENT GOUGING. PRICES ON STAPLES VARY Several Cents' Difference On Same Commodity Shown By Reports From Different Towns. Lansing—A list of suggested prices tor staple foods is being worked out by experts at the state food administrator's office. Other states have already been using the "suggested" list and it is considered necessary In Michigan. According to letters reaching here, the range of prices all over the state is large. Several cents' difference on the same commodity, quality being equal, Is reported from various points. The Idea is to have committees representing the administration meet at least twice a week or oftener, and arrange prices at which, in the opinion of the food department the goods should be sold. It is probable that all prices will be fixed here in Lansing, although one plan suggested is to divide the state into three sections, western, central and eastern. The western prices would be promulgated at Grand Rapids, the ones for the central section at Lansing, and the eastern ones at Detroit. The publication of the prices in the newspapers would be the official notice of their existence. While the food adminstration does not attempt to "fix" prices, it does "suggest" them. In other states, where the prices have been so "suggested" the dealers in nearly all instances, have followed them, realizing that if they did not there would be Investigation by the government.

Better one enemy that you are sure of than n dozen doubtful friends, Lansing—Despite the fact that coal appeared in larger shipments at the railroad gateways to' the state, manufacturing plants continued to close the first of the week. Continued cold has reduced the efficiency of motive power to an absolute minimum. Consequently many smaller plants had to shut down. Monday afternoon, the Dow Chemical company, of Midland, the largest chemical plant In the state, notified John C. Hicks, acting fuel administrator In the absence of W. K. Prudden, that it had closed. Mr. Hicks promised to hurry coal to the company as soon as possible. Several large factories In Detroit employing tens of thousands, were also forced to suspend operation on account of the coal shortage.

MULES Those responsible for the order that no more^profanity is to be used by the mule drivers in our army in France, were doubtless moved by a worthy motive, but like many other worthy motives, it is more attractive in theory than in practice. The mule is an American institution. There has always been, in connection with this institution, a peculiar vocabulary that fits no other. The amenities of polite society are meaningless to his muleship. I t is only when|he4begins to smell the sulphur as it drips from the language of his driver, that t h e ^ J o n g - e ^ e d ^ y b r i d wakes up*to*the knowledge that there is "something doing," and begins to assert himself. If the report is true and the order is really in effect, the mule will feel like an orphan in a strange land, and i f £ _ m u l e a c a n t h i n k he will call down curses on the day that he wandered so far from home and those friends who, if not the most polished in their diction, at least had thejmerit ofiperfext lucidity. 1 Father Remembers Hit Days of Detpair When He Invites Guests for the Sumptuous Repast.

I Twenty years ngo Max Gootschnelder !landed in New York with a slim young jwife, a baby girl that could just toddle, [fc30 in money and a hopeful disposition. jThe first few weeks in the strange ^America was a period of such forlorn • and homesick misery that Max never forgot them. And so, when Max and Mrs. Max, ino longer slim, sat in their fine house dlscusslnp the details of a celebration 'which might be suitable to signalize the engagement of the only daughter lof a prosperous furrier to marry a rich !young diamond merchant, Max had an idea, says the Cincinnati Ttmea- Star. "Mamma," he said, "you remember when we landed in New York—you and Carrie, our baby, and me? You iremember how it was for us then? Well, we shnll give a feast for our daughter, Carrie, and her young man, but we will give It to the people who are now like we were then. Our 'friends are happy. Thoy are not hungry. They are not sorrowful because there is no one to choor thorn tip. They do not need a feast like the poor people that have come from the old country. Those are the poople who shall enjoy our Carriers wedding feast." And PO the feast was given, awny down in East Broadway. In the building which is occupied by the Hebrew Immigrants' Sheltering Aid society, and which overflows nowadays with hundreds of misery-stricken people from the countries at war in Europe. There was a room whore 1,"0 per- -Bons cotild eRt at once. As soon as one •crowd of 150 had finished, another came In. There were no Invitations find no red tape. Max and Mrs. Max and the pretty Carrie and her proud huaband-to-be stood at the door and smilingly welcomed all who came. There was chicken and duck and poose innd gefillte fish. And everyone was ^welcome to all of everything. Even the kids, who stealthily pilfered goodies were urged to pilfer imore. And the feast brought joy and good cheer to a thonsand people who are homeless in n strange land. And the spirit of kindliness so permeated dt a& that Mamma Gootschnelder, now « n d then* was compelled to wipe away * sympathetic tear. And after it was « n over. Papa Gootschnelder declared t h a t his undying regret would be that lie h a d only one daughter to give a wedding; feast for. A news item say's "Hoover wants the government to buy all the sugar." It might Just as well. With the whole country going " d r y " there'll soon be nothing left to mix it with.

The old time[spendthnft who boasted of having "money to burn" now has a son who is boastful of the fact that he has coal to burn. Half of Wood and Hay "February, second day, half the wood and half the h a y , " runs an oldtime saying oft repeated in pioneer days when people were more given to the observance of signs and prophesies. Ofttimes, too, there was sound reascn and years of experience bound up in those oln time jingles. According to the saying mentioned above, people may figure on burning about as much fuel during the ensuing winter ar.d spring days as they have during the past fall and winter; likewise,' stock-feeders have reached the halfway mark in the consumption of feed by their herds. fftt ft "CranberryJCorners" fJThe comedy drama, "CranberJy Corners." produced under the auspices and for the benefit of the Red Cross society last Friday was a huge success from every standpoint, dramatically and financially.

Recalls Misplaced Confidence and Made All t h e More Tragic Because of Splendid Ideals. Only t h e ruin of t h e villa "Valhalla" remains of the ill-fated Norwegian colony established by Ole Bull iu Pennsylvania iu t h e lute '50s. T h e story of the colony, says t h e Kunsas City Times, is one of misplaced confidence, m a d e all t h e more tragic because of the splendid ideals t h a t led to i t s establishment. T h e great Norwegian violinist, alw a y s a n admirer of America, wished to obtain a location for a model colony of his countrymen. H e bought a thousand acres of a firm of land dealers and soon afterward brought to this country several hundred ^Norwegians. A clearing w a s made, t h e village of Oleana built and, in a n address to the townspeople, Ole Bull set forth the hopes t h a t had inspired his mission. T h e address follows : " B r o t h e r s of N o r w a y ! From the cllnie where t h e north/' wind h a s its h o m e ; where t h e maelstrom roars, and where t h e aurOra for half t h e year takes the place of t h e genial sun, we iRive come to find a home. When we were among o u r mountains, and w a r was bringing want and famine upon us, we heard there w a s a country in a milder climate where liberty dwelt and plenty reigned. Upon looking over our records, we found that o u r countrymen, under Thorfin, h a d discovered that hind more than eight hundred years ago, but that they were met by cruel und savage Indians, a n d h a d left no record of themselves, except some traces of their sad history engraven iu the rocks of Fall river, a n d one temple which they raised to God on an island a t the mouth of N a r r a g a n s e t t bay. All other record of them had passed away. "How different is our reception from that which Thorfin and his followers received. No savage Indian startles us with his w a r whoop, but kind friends meet us on every side, taking us by the hand a n d giving us welcome to our new home. "Brothers of N o r w a y ! We must not disappoint this confidence, b u t by lives of industry and honesty show to our new brothers that they have not mlspluced their friendship. "And now, to these gentlemen of New York a n d Pennsylvania, who have so kindly assisted by their counsel and advice in this work, I return my most sincere a n d heartfelt thanks, and casting ourselves upon the goodness of our heavenly Father, resting secure upon his promise, let us go on In the daily performance of every duty, a n d he will bless u s . " T h e r e v w a s a pathetic aftermath. H a r d l y h a d t h e pioneers got well under way with their Homebuilding when it w a s discovered that the violinist had been victimized. T h e company that sold him t h e land h a d no valid title to it. T h e people of Oleana scattered, some of thein penniless a n d with few friends in the new country. Ole Bull, with splendid loyalty to those he had brought to this pass, gave public concerts to raise money for their relief.

After t h a t it's God's j o b , a n d unless you stick in and try to manage yourself, he'll see you through." "All right, I'll do It." Carol gasped. She opened her lips a few times, and swallowed hard. She didn X krow what to do next. Wildly she racked her brain for the next s t e p In tills vital performance. "I—think we ought to pray," she said feebly. "All right, we'll pray." He rolled curiously off the stick of wood, a n d fell, as if by instinct, into the a t t i t u d e of prayer. Carol gazed about her helplessly. But true to her training, she knelt beside him. Then came silence. "I—well, I'll pray," she said with grim determination. "Dear Father in Heaven," she began weakly, and t h e n she forgot her timidity and her fear, and realized only that this was a crisis In the life of the drunken man. "Oh, God, he'll do it. He'll let go, and turn it over to you l i e Isn't w o r t h anything. God, none of us are, but you can handle him, for you've had worse jobs than this, though it doesn't seem possible. You'll help him, God, a n d love him, and show him how, for h e hasn't the faintest idea what to d o next, and neither have I. But you brought him into our barn tonight, a n d you'll see him through. Oh, God, for J e s u s ' sake, help Ben Peters. Amen, "Now, what shall I do?" she wondered. "What's your father for?" She looked quickly at Ben Peters. He had not spoken, hut something certainly had asked. "What's your father for?" "You stay here, Ben, and pniy for yourself, and I'll send father out. I'm not just sure what to suy next, a n d fnther'll finish you up, You pray for all you're worth." She was gone in a flash, through the kitchen, through the hall, up the s t a i r s two at a time, and her arm thrown closely about her father's shoulder. "Oh, father, I got stuck," she wailed, "I'm so ashamed of myself. But you can finish him off, can't you? I honestly believe he's started." He took her firmly by the arms a n d s q u a r e d her around on his lap. "One, two. three, ready, go. Now, w h a t ? " "Ben Peters. He was drunk in t h e b a r n and I took him into the woodshed and gave him some hot coffee—and some religion, but not enough to h u r t him. I told him he had to get converted, and he said he would. So I told him about It, but you'd better tell him Rgain. for I'm afraid I made q u i t e a mess of it. And then we prayed, and I was stuck for fair, father, for I couh'n't think what to do next. But I do believe it was God who said. W h a t ' s your father for?' And so I left him praying for himself, and—you'd b e t t e r hurry, or he may get cold feet and r u n away. Be easy with him, father, b u t don't let him off. This is the first c h a n c e we've ever had at Ben P e t e r s , a n d God'U never forgive us if we let him slip throueh our fingers." Carol was dumped off onto the floor and her father was half-way down t h e s t a i r s before she caught her b r e a t h . Then she smiled. Then she blushed. " T h a t was one bad job." she said to herself sadly. *Tm a disgrace to t h e Methodist church. T h a n k goodness t h e trustees'!! never hear of it. FU bribe Ben Peters to eternal silence If I h a v e to do It with kisses." Then h e r face grew very soft. "Poor old m a n ! Oh, t h e poor old m a n ! " A quick r u s h of t e a r s blinded her eyes, and h e r t h r o a t throbbed. "Oh, why do t h e y — w h a t makes men like t h a t ? Can't t h e y aee, can't they know, how awful t h e y are, how—" She shuddered. "I c a n ' t M e for the life of rae what makes God t f e a t n s decently at all." Her f a c e brightened again. "It was a bad Job, • H right, but I feel kind of pleased a b o r t it. I hope f a t h e r won't mention It to t h e girls." And Ben P e t e r s trnly had a start, inc r e d i b l e aa It seemed.

The Connie Problem. Mr. Starr was getting ready to go to conference, and the girls hovered about him with anxious eyes. This was their fifth conference since coming to Mount Mark—the time limit for Methodist ministers was five years. The Starrs, therefore, would be transferred, and where? Small wonder that the girls followed him around the house and spoke In soft voices and looked with tender eyes at the old parsonage and the wide lawn. They would be leaving n e s t week-. Already the curtains were down, and laundered, and packed. The t r u n k s were filled, the books were boxed. Yes, they were leaving, but whither were they bound? " n e t your ecclesiastical dander up. father," Carol urged, "don't let them give us a church fight, or a twentythousand- dollar debt on a thousanddollar congregation." "We don't care for a big salary or a stylish congregation," Lark added, "but we don't want to go back to w a s h p a n s and kerosene lamps again." The conference was held in Fairfield, and he Informed the girls casually t h a t he would be home on the flrf train after the assignments were made. He said It casually, for he did not wish them to know how perturbed he was over the coming change. During the conference he tried in many and devious ways to learn the will of the authorities regarding his future, but he found no clue. And at homo the glrla were discussing the matter very little, hut thinking of nothing else. They were determined to be pleased about it. Just the same, on Wednesday evening, the girls sat silent, with intensely flushed faces and painfully shining eyes, watching the clock, listening for the footstep. They had deliberately remained away from the station. They thought they could face It better within the friendly walls of the parsonage. It was all settled now, father knew where they were going. Oh. wrr- hadn't he wired? It must be terribly bad then, he evidently wanted to break it to thejri gently. Maybe it was a circuit! There was the whistle now ! Only a few -minutes now. Suppose bis salary were cut down—good-by to silk stockings and kid gloves—cheap, but kid, Just the s a m e ! Suppose the parsonage would be old-fashioned ! Sn; pose there wasn't any parsonage at all. and they would have to pay r e n t ! Sup— Then the door slammed. Carol and Lark picked up their darning, and Connie bent earnestly over her magazine. Aunt Grace covered a yawn with her slender fingers and looked out of the window. "Hello !" "Why, hello, papa ! Back already?" They dropped darning and magazine and flew to welcome him home. "Come and sit down!" "My, it seemed a long t i m e ! " "We had lots of fun, father." "Was it a nice conference?" "Mr. J a m e s out us two bushels of potatoes !" "We're going to have chicken tomorrow—the Ladies' Aiders sent It with their farewell love." "Wasn't It a dandy d a y ? " "Well, it's all settled." "Yes, we supposed it would be. W a s the conference good? We read accounts of it every day, and acted stuckup when it said nice things about you." "We are t o — " "Ju-just n minute, father," Interrupted Connie anxiously. "We d o n t care a snap where It is, honestly wa don't. We're Just crazy about It, wherever it Is. We've got it all settled. You needn't be afraid to tell us." "Afraid to tell u s ! " mocked the twins indignantly. " W h a t kind of slavedrivers do you think we are7" " F a t h e r knows we're all right. Go on. ddddy, who's to be our next flock?" "We haven't any. we ** The girls' faces paled. "Haven't any? Yon mean—** "I mean we're to stay In Mount Mark." "Stay in— W h a t r "Mount Mark. They—" "They extended the limit*' cried Connie, springing up. "No." h e denied, laughing. "Tliey m a d e m e a presiding elder, a n d we're—M "A presiding e l d e r ! F a t h e r I Honestly? T h e y — " T h e y ought t o h a v e made yoo a bishop." <7ied O w l tayafljr. "I've bcea expecting it all my life. That's where the next junjp'Il land you." "I pity the next parsonage bunch," suld Connie sympathetically. "Why? There's nothing the m a t t e r with our c h u r c h ! " "Oh, no, t h a t isn't what I mean. But the next minister's family can't possibly come up to us, and so—" Th others broke her sentence with their laughter. ' T a l k about me and ray complexion!" gasped Carol, wiping her eyes. "I'm nothing to Connie and her family pride. W h e r e will we live now, fat h e r ? " "We'll rent a house—any house we like." "Rent 1 Mercy, father, doesn't the conference furnish the elders with houses? We can never afford to pay r e n t ! Never!" "Oh, we have a salary of twenty-five hundred a y e a r now," he said, with apparent complacence, but careful to watch closely for the effect of thia statement. It gratified htm, too, much as he had expected. The girls stood stock-still and gazed at him, and then, with a violent struggle for self-composure Carol a s k e d : "Did you get any of It in advance? I need some new slippers." So the packing was finished, a suitable house w a s found—modern, with reasonable rent—on Maple avenue where the oaks were most magnificent. and the parsonage family became just ordinary "folks," a parsonage household no longer. Mr. Starr's new position necessitated long and frequent absences from home, and that was a drawback to the family comradeship. But ' h e girls' pride in his advancement was so colossal, and their determination to live up to the dignity of the eldership was so deepseated, that affairs ran on quite serenely in the new home. One day this beautiful serenity was broken in upon in a most unpleasant way. Carol looked up from "De Senect u t e " and flung out her arms in an all- «1—1 Think We Ought to Pray," She Said Feebly. relieving yawn. Then she looked at her aunt, asleep on the couch. She looked at Lark, who was aimlessly drawing feathers on the skeletons of birds In her biology text. She looked at Connie, sitting upright in her chair, a small book close to her face, alert, absorbed, oblivious to the world. Connie was wide awake, and Carol resented It. "What are you reading, Con?" She asked reproachfully. Connie looked up, startled, and colored a little. "Oh—poetry," she stammered. Carol w a s surprised. "Poetry," she echoed. "Poetry? What kind of poetry T Connie answered evasively "It is by an old Oriental writer. I don't suppose you've ever read i t Khayyam Is i his name." "Some name," said Carol suspiciously. "What's the poem T H e r eyes had narrowed and darkened. By this time Carol had firmly convinced herself that she was bringing Connie up—r belief which afforded lively amusement to self-conducting Connie. "Why, it's T h e R n b a i y a t ' It's—" " T h e R n b a i y a t ! ' " Carol frowned. Lark looked up from the skeletons with sudden interest. " T h e Rabaty a t r By K h a y y a m ?

"I don't believe It, you know," Connie said coolly. "I'm only reading i t How can I know whether it's trash or not, unless I read It? I—" "Ministers' daughters a r e supposed to keep their fingers clear of t h e burning ends of matches," said Carol neatly. "We can't handle them without getting scorched, or blackened, at l e a s t Prudence says BO." "Prudence," said Connie gravely, " i s a dear sweet thing, but she's awfully old-fashioned, Carol; you know t h a t " Carol and Lark were speechless. They would as soon have dreamed of questioning the catechism as Prudence's perfection. "She's narrow. She's a darling, of course, but she isn't up-to-date. I want to know w h a t folks are talking" about. I don't believe tills poem. I'm a Christian. But I want to know what other folks think about me and what I believe. T h a t ' s all. Prudence is fine, but I know a good deal more about some things than Prudence will know when she's a thousand years old." The twins still sat silent. "Of course, some folks wouldn't approve of parsonage girls reading things like this. But I approve of it. I want to know why I disagree with this poetry, and I can't until I know where we disagree. It's beautiful, Carol, really. It's kind of sad. It makes me want to cry. It's—" "I've a big notion to tell papa on you," said Carol soberly and sadly. Connie rose at oflce. "I'm going to tell papa myself." Carol moved uneasily in her chair. "Oh, let It go this time. I—I just mentioned it to relieve my feelings. I won't tell yet. I'll talk it over with you again. IT! have to think it over first." "I think I'd rather tell him," insisted Connie. Carol looked worried, but she knew Connie would do as she said. So she got up nervously and went with her. She would have to see it through now, of course. Connie walked silently up the stairs, with Carol following meekly behind, and rapped at her father's door. Then she entered, and Carol, in a hushed sort of way, closed the door behind them. "I'm reading this, father. Any objections?" Connie faced him calmly, and' handed him the little book. He examined It gravely, his brows contracting, a sudden wrinkling at the corners of his lips that might have meant laughter, or disapproval, or anything. "I thought a parsonage girl should not read it," Carol said bravely. "I've never read it myself, but I've heard about it, and parsonage girls ought to read parsonage things. Prudence says so. But—" "But I want to know what other folks think about what I believe," said Connie. "So I'm reading it." "What do you think of it?" he asked quietly, and he looked very strangely at his baby daughter. It was a crisis, and lie must be very careful. "I think it is beautiful," Connie said softly, and her lips drooped n little, and a wistful pathos crept into her voice. "It seems so sad. I keep wishing I could cry about it P a r t of ft I don't understand very well." He held out a hand to Connie, and she put her own in it confidently. Carol, too, came and stood close behind him. "Yes," he said, "It is beautiful, Connie, and It Is very terrible. We can't understand it fully because we can'! feel what he felt. He looked thoughtfully at the girls. "He was a marvelous man, t h a t Khayyam—years ahead of his people, and his time. He wa? big enough to see the Idiocy of the heathen Ideas of God, he was beyond them, he spurned them. But he wa* not quite big enough to reach o u t alone, and get hold of our kind of s God. It Is a wonderful poem. II shows the weakness, the helplessness of a gifted man who has nothing to cling to. I think it will do you good to read It, Connie. Read it again and again, and thank God, my child, that though you a r e only a girl, you have the very thing this man, this genius was craving. We admire his t a l e n t but we pity his weakness. You will feel sorry for him. You read i t too Carol. You'll like i t We can't u n d e r stand I t a s I say, because we are so sure of our God. that we can't feel what he felt, having nothing. Of course it makes you want to cry, Connie.

Keep After Things. Do you remember when you learned to swim, or ride a bicycle? You went to it for all you were worth, but you couldn't get the hang of it. Then, a few days afterward, you tried again and It "came to you" first thing. But It wouldn't have "come to you" If you hadn't "gone to It" that other time. The effort which seemed to be wasted at the time you made It wasn't wasted after all. You will find It the same with learning how to think. If you can't keep your mtnd on the subject tomorrow morning, keep on trying till the half hour is up. The next morning you'll do a littlo better, and you'll surprise yourself within a few weeks.—Exchange. jJa> voir M]bscr1i<tlnn thii montn il The apple always falls to the ground. It cannot FALL UP.
