At the same time grocers will sell householders wheat flour only when the purchaser buys an equal amount of some other cereal. -The food card asks every loyal American to help win the war by maintaining rigidly as minimum of saving the following program: TWO WHEATLESS DAYS EACH WEEK. Have two wheatless days (Monday and Wednesday) in every week, and one wheatless meal in every day. Explanation: On wheatless days and in wheatless meals of other days, use no crackers, pastry, macaroni, breakfast food or other cereal food contain* ing wheat, and use no wheat flour in any form except the small amount that may be required for thickening soups and gravies or for a binder in corn bread and other cereal breads.

On Saturdays we get a long hike in the forenoon, about 12 miles. In the afternoon we are supposed to have off, but usually spend it cleaning up for Sunday morning inspection. We have bunk inspection every night by the Sargent in charge of our room. Our company was quarantined again for measles last Wednesday. A week at a time is as long as I have been out of quarantine since I have been here. This cold weather we don't mind it much, as no one cares to roam around a great deal when the thermometer is down to zero. We have boxing gloves, punching bags, a player piano and graphaphone, also reading matter and writing tables in our recreation room. Also have an orchestra started. Sibley. PUBLIC SALE!

SMALLPOX WELL SCATTERED Health Beard Plans Enerqet'c Move to Stamp Out the Disease Throughout State. Lansing More than 6,000 men of the 68th division were ordered into qu"-anttne following the appearance of three new cases of spinal meningitis There are now nine cases of the dreaded disease at the base hospital. Two infantry regiments, the 337th and the :'3Sth arid the depot brigade. ar? affected by the new order which provides that the men cannot leave camp and cannot attend military classes or otherwise mingle with those from- other organizations. It is stated bv the division surgeon that the disease was brought into camp by men sent here from Jefferson Barracks Mo. Previous to the arrival of these men there bad been bnl lour case- One death had resulted, or.e man l'ouu ' to be a carrier had been isolated ai* ' the remaining two putienti were oi« the road to recovery. Within less than two weeks after the newcomers were given quarters, however, new cases developed, slowly at first and then moid I y . Wednesday, the health report showed six cases and when Thursday's report announcing three more was received at headquarters, the quarantine order was immediately issued, Simultaneously with the issuance of the order, a search was begun in the three organizations where cases have developed for possible meningitis carriers There are fortunately Infallible testa and these will be given to every man in the three commands Complete quarantine had not been adopted and will not be favored. The army considers the old method of confining in one place, all those exposed to a communicable disease to be little short of barbarous. The men will therefore be permitted on their drill ^roujids as usual and will carry on their work in the vicinity-of their barracks. They will have the freedom of certain V. M. C A. and K of C. buildings which will be set aside for their use so that their work and pleasures really will not be di-uurhed to any ;ippreciable extent. Many Hotels Must Get Licenses. Immediate action will be taken against all persona, corporations. Arms and associations, who manufacture lor sale bread in any form, cake, crackers biscuits, pastry or other bakery pro ducts (excepting however, those whose consumption of any flour and meal in the manufacture uf such products is lu the aggregate, less than '«en barrels a month), who fail to procure a fed eral license. Announcement to this effeC has been made by State Fool Administrator Geo A. Prescott Thl* includes hotels, restaurants, other public eating places, and clubs who serve bread or other bakery product* of their own baking Application for license must be made to the United State* Food Admtnlstra tion. License Division, on forms prepared by it for that purpose, wblch may be obtained on request The State Food Administrator says certain merchants do not appreciate the fact that the United States is at war and that the war must be won by food conservation and economy of prices He asserts that there are certain examples of actual profiteering and warn3 dealers that these cases will behandled, If necessary, with promptness and severity Any person who, without a license, or whose license shall have been revoked, knowingly engages In or carries on any business for which a license is required by the Food Administration shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine not exceeding $5,000 or by Imprisonment for not more than two years, or both From information received at the Food Administration headquarters it Is evident that only a few Michigan hotel and cafe proprietors have applied for their licenses, but they must secure licenses if they intend to continue in business Smallpox May Hinder Next Quota, Smallpox, it is feared by the Michigan war preparedness board and others interested in raising the next quota of soldiers, will Interfere with furnishing the men sadly needed by the national government. Therefor Dr R. M Olin. secretary of the state board of health i3 receiv ing active support in hU campaign to stamp out rapidly the disease, which has 675 persons (n bed today, and others quarantined. Of the cases in Michigan, 500 are scattered over the state, and 175 are in Detroit. Lansing has not a single case. The outbreak: is attributed by Dr. Olin to widespread mild smallpox a few months ago, which was generally diagnosed to be chicken pox. Health officers, who have not been as vigorous in enforcing the safeguards provided by law, are beinp called on the telephone as rapidly as complains are received and ordered to "quit monkeying and get down to business." Another factor in the situation, in the opinion of Dr. Olin, is the inroads made on health officers and inspectors by the draft. The active head of the health service of the state is planning to send inspectors in various sections of the state, first into Sanilac, Huron and St. Clair counties. In some places school authorities have been ordered to refuse admission to schools to children who are not vaccinated Custer Has Over 1,000 Aliens. Although the Eighty-fifth division at Camp Custer has in its make up more than l.OOO aliens, the question of their disposition is causing Major-General Parker no worry. He Is convinced that they will make proficient loyal soldiers. The alien question has been a delicate and trying* one in some divisions, and hundreds of men have been Interned for the duration of the war | because it was believed they would I bo unsafe. ' "Foreisners come to this country ; because they are dissatisfied with ; conditions in Europe," said the general "At a time like this, when they adopt America, they often incur the enmity of fiends at home. Nevertheless, some of these so-called renegades make the strongest patriots. "One-third of the signers of the declaration of the independence were foreign.born.

GEN. WOOD HIT BY BLAST, AT FRONT SLIGHTLY WOUNDED IN ARM BY ACCIDENTAL ' EXPLOSION, 8AY8 CABLE REPORT. DISPATCH GIVES NO DETAILS Brief Announcement Made By Baker Says That Two Other U. 8. Officers Were Also Slightly H u r t KEN SENT ABROAD LACKED CLOTHING NEWS REACHES PUBLIC THROUGH PUBLICATION OF CONFIDENT I A L TESTIMONY. REP. MCCORMICK CREATES STIR Baker Was Told of Clothing Shortage, According to General Sharpe, Washington—Disclosures regarding American army affairs at home and abroad were made through publication of confidential testimony given recently before the senate military committee in executive session. Statements of nearly all the witnesses heard behind closed doors except Major-General Crozier, chief of ordnance, were given in the usual printed report of committee pro. ceedlngs. One that created something of a stir among members of congress and. in official circles generally was that of Representative McCormick, of Illinois, who back from a visit to the Allied battle fronts, told the committee Allied officials were apprehensive regarding co-ordination of American war management. In the confidential testimony of General Sharpe, he defended the decision to send General Pershing's expedition to France sooner than had been planned, and the calling into service of more men than had been provided for. He said he knew and formally notified Secretary Baker that clothing shortage would result, but that even with the sacrifice of some lives, as many men as possible should be summoned for the effect on the Germans. Seme of the statements In secret session of Major-Generals Greble, O'Ryan and Wright, after their return from the French front, also were made public. General Greble said that in October the Allied artillery was unquestionably superior in effect to the Germans and that General Pershing's men were well clothed and equipped. All of the testimony of General Crozier was ordered kept confidential. Mr. McCormick, k in his statement, said that for t h e ' American and Al. lied armies to break through the westesrn front, they must have 26,000 more big guns—and that It Is impossible for the Allies to make them. "The French," he said, "cannot make the gnns." "Every man who is In France," he declared, "is needed to be making gnns for France or to be on the line. We have shipped the steel to them. I can only say— and I quote the man who won the battles—that it is impossible to have too many guns. "We ought t o set 25,000 as the mark and 20,000 as a minimum. We ought to get the best information possible and not merely through the normal military channels, because, as Lloyd George and Kerr (Premier Lloyd George's secretary), said, the generals have always tended to nn. derestimate the number of guns necessary."

WitMioMa families hi Battle Crook c*H Is soaaded at f o'clock is H* Now Tbrk-—Foortooa Oormaa eaptared ia this Detroit—Mere pessimism gave way to consternation when developments in the coal shortage made it plain that, insofar as keeping Detroit's industries going and its homes heated is concerned, the utter collapse of government fuel control is at band. ' T h e greatest calamity that has ever happened to Detroit and Michigan is pbout to occur," Edgar B. Whitcomb, local fuel administrator, wired Congressman Doremus, at Washington, Thursday night. "Confiscation is taking place in such large volume in Kentucky and Ohio," the telegram continued, "that Detroit's limited supply is seriously reduced and disaster impends. "Not half enough coal is being started from the mines at present and only part of this comes through." Whitcomb's wire to Doremus, which included the statement that he would send no further warnings, was construed as notice to Washington of the fate which hangs oyer Detroit as the result of the failure of the national fuel administration rather than as an appeal tor relief. Washington—Major-Genorai Loonald Wood, in France on an observation tour, was slightly wounded Sunday by an accdental explosion, which t i l - ed five French soldiers aad hart two other American officers. Secretary Baker announced the accident in this statement: • "A cable dispatch from the headquarters of General Pershing states that an accidental explosion klled fivs French soldiers and- slightly iniured Major-General Wood in the arm, Lieutenant- Colonel Charles E. Kllboufne » the eye and Major Kenyon A. Joyee in the arm." Details of Accident Lacking. It is understood the mesasge was brief and gave no further details. General Wood's tour would cfrry him both to the front and to the American training camps behind the li^es, but there is no indication as to where the accident occurred. All divisional commanders have been or will be sent to Europe for brief periods. General Wood, commanding Camp Funston, Kansas, went over several weeks ago. McADOO CUTS RAIL EXPENSES All Lobbyists, Needless Lawyers and Passes Eliminated. JAPAN READY TO ACT IN RUSSIA Premier Says the Situation in Russia Is Causing Much Anxiety. Tokio—"Japan holds herielf responsible for maintenance oi peace In this part of the world,, and consequently in the event of t h a t peace being endangered to the inevitable detriment of our interests, the government of Japan will not hesitate a moment to take the proper measures." Thus Count Terauchi, Japanese premier, spoke at the opening of the diet in referring to the internal disorders in Russia, spreading to the Russian possessions in eastern Asia. The premier declared the situation in Russia was causing him the greatest measure of anxiety. "As the true friend of Rtossia," he said, "Japan earnestly hopes that country may successfully settle Its difficulties without much further loss of time and establish a stable gov* e r n m e n t " Count Terauchi said also that Japan joined unreservedly with the Allied powers In the determination not to sheathe the sword until an honorable peace is secured. Washington—WtlHam G. McAdoo, director of r a ^ o a d s , Sunday ni«rht issued peremptory orders to all railroad officers and directors to cut off immediately from the payrolls all legislative railroad lobbyists, supernumerary lawyers, useless railroad literary associations, political payments and all passes, intrastate as well as interstate. Several million dollars will be InrVot within the first year by this draaHo step, It is estimated. This .order means that not only the $25,000 a year lobbyist, but the numerous persons employed to boost the Individual railroads will be reduced in number. Only those in the latter class than can be of service to the roads will be allowed to remain. Thousands of, lawyers throughout the country will be affected. Large staffs have been maintained in places where the director-general believes they have been unnecessary.

Amsterdam—Germany through her chancellor, Count von Hertling, in the reichstag, has made a specific point for point reply to President Wilson'r 14-conditions of peace. It is coined in the language of one who demands instead of one who yields. It is, in the main, a rejection. Austria-Hungary, through her for. eign minister, Count von Csernin, has made a general reply to the American executive's peace aims speech. It is framed in the tenor of one who is glad to yield, and would yield more, if he could.

To The Public Tbe United States Food Administration has now decreed that, in addition to the meatless Tuesday, there shall be a *'pork less Saturday," on which nospork in any form shall be served, and on other days than Tuesdays and Saturdays there shall be served at least one meatless meal. All loyal Patriotic citizens are requested to follow these instructions and to report any violations of the Meatless, Wheatless, or Porkless days by hotels or restaurants, to me. All persons residing in Livingston county except dealers in those commodities, who have stocks, of flour and sugar in their possoesion above their reasonable requirements for sixty days must report the same to me at once, or they will be liable to a fine of $5000.00 or imprisonment for two years or to both fine and imprisonment.

In the course of our investigations we discovered that in «ome homes, although the wife was not dissolute, she was, nevertheless, almost wholly to blame for the wretched conditions which existed, asserts the University Magazine. In these cases the husband was hard working and earned sufficient money from week to week to win a comfortable home, If he possessed a comfortable helpmeet, but the wife, unfortunately, was afflicted with the densest Ignorance of the art of home-making. In some other Instances the home was made unhappy by a nagging wife, with a rasping tongue.

It Is grutifylng to know that there Is i sentiment in Paris which recognizes the fact that Uncle Sam has thrown safeguards around his soldiers which are effective as long as they are on ' American soil, and, out of respect to this very evident hostility of our government towards drink, urges protection for American -soldiers on. French soil from the perils of alcohol. The following is from La Revue of Paris : "At the present moment France Is attracting the eyes of the world more than ever before. It is not enough to show our enthusiasm regarding the English, Americans, Italians, Portuguese or Russians who are dwelling among us. We must likewise watch over their moral security. But alcoholism menaces all In the same degree. The "Sammies" who arrive from the United States total or partial prohibitionists are exposed to multiple dangers and temptations. "The great American republic accepts with heroism the sacrifices in men and money which the war against the Germans may demand. But let us take care, We shall commit an evil action If her children find themselves exposed not only to the danger of being slain at the front, hut to that of being poisoned by alcohol. Many writers in the United States have already manifested fears upon this point A few concrete cases would suffice to cause an outburst of opinion on the other side. The Germans are watching and they will not be slow to exploit such sentiments, which are Justified, indeed, to paralyze the noble population of the United States towards the sacred cause of the allies. "We cannot lay too much emphasis upon the decree issued by the British military authority, January 15, 1917, prohibiting the circulation of alcohol in all the French regions occupied by the English army! And this 'In order to respond to the declarations of civil and military authorities signalizing alcoholism as an obstruction to the agricultural and Industrial production required by the necessities of national defense/ Shall we wait until the American, too, perhaps, shall Inflict a like humiliation upon our ministers of the interior, of munitions, of supplies, and many other of their confreres?" MEXICO TOO. "Mexico is Improving," said the Mexican general, Alvaro Obregon, at a dinner tendered him in Springfield, HI. "It has found the reason for the revolutions. It is going to reform the new generations of Mexico. It is going to open a school where there was a saloon before. We see the advantages now of education. There have been too many drunks in Mexico. The governors of the various states are now stopping with radical measures the saloon. Men who are going to save Mexico are those who are going to close the saloon. The United States needs the same cure. I speak plainly. The Mexican government did not wait to raise the taxes before it took steps to dose down the saloons. We are going to fight Ignorance and vice,*' W H Y T H E Y SELL IT. Saloonkeepers do not sell the drug alcohol to a man simply for the sake of destroying him. They give him what injures him because they think that is the way by which they can get his money. They do not desire, on their own account to ruin his character, take away his property, break his wife's heart and beggar and starve his children. Their object is only to get the man's money, and they do these things because that seems the shortest waj* Yet it is the price of blood. IN GEORGIA.

WAR BREAD MUST NOW BE USED HERE WHEAT FLOOR 8UPPLY MUST BE CONSERVED TO FEED ALLIES AND ARMY OVER8EA8. ALL DEALERS MUST • COMPLY With 8atea of Wheat Flour Retailers and Wholesalers Will 8ell Equal Amount of Substitute Flour. Washington—The American people went on a war abread diet Monday as a part of a war rationing system prescribed by President Wilson and the food administration. "Victory bread" the food administration calls it. The reduced rations are asked for the purpose of creating a larger export surplus of food for the European Allies. Curtailment of consumption will be accomplished largely by voluntary effort, but force will be employed wherever permitted under the food control act. Rationing System Plan. The rationing system, as presented by the president in a proclamation and by Food Administrator Hoover in a list of regulations, forms the food administration's 1918 food conservation program, of which the chief features are: A baker's bread of mixed flours, beginning Monday with a 5 per cent substitution of other cereals for wheat until a 20 per cent substitution is reached February 24. Sale by retailers to householders of an equal amount of substitute flours for every pound of wheat flour pur» chased at the time the wheat flour is bought. Sale by millers to wholesalers and wholesalers to retailers of only 70 per cent of the amount of wheat flour sold last year. Two wheatless days a week—Monday and Wednesday—and one wheatless meal a day. One meatless day a week—Tuesday —and one meatless meal a day. Two porkless days a week—Tuesday and Saturday. Substitutes Are Urged. Manufacturers of macaroni, spaghetti, noodles, crackers and breakfast foods, pie, cake and pastry will be permitted to buy only 70 per cent of their last year's purchases, and are asked to perform a patriotic service by using substitute flours. Flour will be told through the regular channels and in such a manner that each community will receive its equivalent siiare. The food adminstration will purchase for the army and the Allies, it was announced recently, 30 per cent of the flour output and out of this store will fill emergency requirements if stocks run low in any part of the country. Wheat millers are required to produce one barrel of flour of 196 pounds from 264 pounds of wheat, which reprecents a 75 per cent flour. No pat* ent or special flours may be manufactured, although whole wheat flour may be made as usual. Hotels and restaurants are classed as bakeries and will be required to serve the new ''victory bread." SCHEIDEMANN HITS WAR PARTY German Socialist Leader Demands Peace Before Spring.

She's generous, she's patient she's unselfish, a good mixer—some of the ladles might think her complexion wasn't real, but — Grace, Carol wouldn't be half bad!" ^ **Oh, William," she sighed, "can't you remember that you are a Methodist minister, and a grandfather, and— grow up a little?" After that Mr. Starr returned to normal again, only many times he and Connie had little outings together, and talked a great deal. And Aunt Grace, seeing It, smiled with satisfaction. But the twins and Fairy settled it in their own mfnds by saying, "Father was Just a Mttle Jealous of all the beaux. He was looking for a pal, and he's found Connie." But in spite of his new devotion to Connie, Mr. Starr also spent a great deal of time with Fairy. "We must get fast chums, Fairy," he often said te her. "This Is our last chance. We hnve to get cemented for a lifetime, yen know." And Fairy, when he said so, caught kit hand and laughed a little tremulously. Indeed he was right when he said It was his last chance with Fairy in the parsonage. Two weeks before her commencement she had slipped Into the library and closed the door cauflagplj behind her. *w>ther," she said, "would you be vtfer aorry if I didn't teach school after airr aNot a bit." came the ready answer. "I mean if I—you see, father, since yau sent me to college I feel as if I ought to work and—help out" T h a t ' s nonsense," he said, drawing the tall girl down to his knees. "I can take care of my own family, thanks. Are you trying to run me out of my Job? If you want to work, all right, flu it, but for yourself, and not for us. Or if you want to do anything else," he did not meet her eyes, "If you want te stay at home a year or so before you get married, it would please us better than anything else. And when you want to marry Gene, we're expecting it, you know," "Yes, I know*'—she fingered the lapel of his coat uneasily.' ^T^o you care how soon I get married*" •^re you still sure it* is Genef *Tea, Vm sure." 'Then I think you should choose ytiur own time. I am in no hurry. But any time—if s for you and Gene to d o dde." "Then you haven't set your heart on my teaching r *T set my heart on giving you the best chance possible. And I have done It. For the rest. It depends on you. Y<m may work, or you may stay at home a while. I only want you to be happy, Fairy." •But doesn't It seem foolish to go dear through college, and spend the money, and then—marry without using the education T i *I do not think so. They've been mae years, and you are finer because of them. There's Just as much opportunity to use your fineness in a home of your own as In a public school. That's the way I look at I f •Ton don*t think Tm too youngr "YouVe pretty young," he said slowly. "I can hardly say. Fairy. You've always been capable and telf-poa* aeaucd. When you and Gene get so crasy about each other you cant bear to be apart any longer, if s all right She pet her arm around his neck and rubbed her fingers over his cheek lor- Ujgsy/.

Gen*, and the firm, that to an." an If s your day. you i t talk It Wean It ii B I H ha aMy far sat te toy to tcfiyo* frhat a you—if I tried I'd only cry. You know what I think." His face was against hers, and his eyes were away from her, so Fairy did not see the moisture in his eyes when he said in a low voice: "Yes, I know, Fairy. And I don't need to say what fine girls you are, and how proud I am of you. You know It already. But sometimes," he added slowly, "I wonder that I haven't been a bigger man, and haven't done finer work, with a houseful of girls like mine." Her arm pressed more closely about his neck. "Father," she whispered, "don't say that We think you are wonderfully splendid, Just as you are. It Isn't what you've said, not what you've done for us, it's Just because you have always made us so sure of you. We never had to wonder about father, or ask ourselves—we were sure. We've always had you." She leaned over and kLssed him again. "Now we understand each other, don't we?" "I guess so. Anyhow, I understand that there'll only be three daughters in the parsonage pretty soon. All right, Fairy. I know you will be happy." He paused a moment. "So will I." But the months passed, and Fairy seemed content to stay quietly at home, embroidering as Prudence had done, laughing at the twins as they tripped gayly, riotously through college. And then in the early spring she sent an urgent note to Prudence. "Y<fu must come home for a few days, Prue, you and Jerry. It's Just because I want you and I need you. and I know you won't go back on me. Just wire you are coming—the three of you. I know you'll be here, since It La I who ask it." It followed naturally that Prudence's answer was satisfactory. "Of course we'll come." Fairy's plans were very simple. "We'll have a nice family dinner Tuesday evening. We'll all be together, nice and quiet, Just our own little bunch. Don't have dates, twins—of course Gene will be here, but he's part of the family, and we don't want outsiders this time. His parents will be in town, and I've asked them to come up. I want a real family reunion Just for once, and it's my party, for I started it. So you must let me have it my own way." After the first confusion of welcoming Prudence home, and making fun of "daddy Jerry," and testing the weight and length of little Fairy, they all settled down to a parsonage homegathering. Just a few minutes before the dinner hour, Fairy took her father's hand. "Come Into the limelight," she said softly; "I want you." He passed little Fairy over t(t the outstretched arms of the nearest auntie, and allowed himself to be led into the center of the room. "Gene." said Fairy, and he came to her quickly, holding out a slender roll of paper. "It's our license," said Fairy. "We think we'd like to be married now, father, if you will." He looked at her questlonlngly, but understanding]y. The girls clustered about them with eager outcries, half protest half encouragement "It's my day, you know," cried Fairy, "and this is my way." She held out her hand, and Gene took It very tenderly in his. Mr. Starr looked at them gravely for a moment and then in die gentle voice that the parsonage girls Insisted was his most valuable ministerial asset he gave his second girl In marriage. It surely was Fairy's way, plain and sweet without formality. And the dinner that followed was juat a happy family dinner. Fairy's face waa to glowing with content and Gene's attitude was so tender, and so ludicrously proud, that the twins at last were convinced that this was right and all waa well. But that evening, when Gene's parents had gone away, and after Fairy and Gene themselves had taken the carriage to the station for their Utile vacation together, and Jerry and Prudence were putting tittle Fairy to bad. the three girls left in the home aat drearily in their bedroom and talked It over. -We're thinning out," amid Connie.

The family is going to pieces, sure enough." CHAPTER X I . Sowing deeds. "Have you seen Mrs. Harbert lately, - Carol?" "Yes, she's better, father. I was there a few minutes yesterday." ''Yesterday? You were there Tuesday, weren't you?" Carol looked uncomfortable. "Well, yes. I was, Just for a second." "She tells me you've been running in nearly every day since she took sick." Carol bent sharply inquiring eyes upon her father. "What else did she tell you?" "She said you were an angel." "Y—yes—she seems somehow to think I do it for kindness." "And don't you?" "Why, no, father, of course I don't. It's only two blocks out of my way and it's such fun to pop in on sick folks and show them how disgustingly strong and well I am." "Where did you get the money for that basket of fruit?" "I borrowed it from Aunt Grace." Carol's face was crimson with mortification. "But it'll be a sweet time before Mrs. Harbert gets anything else from me. She promised she wouldn't tell." "Did any of the others know about the fruit?" "Why—not—exactly." "But she thinks It was from the whole family. She thanked me for It." "I—I made her think that," Carol explained. "I want her to think we're the nicest parsonage bunch they've ever had in Mount Mark. Besides, it really was from the family. Aunt Grace loaned me the money and I'll have to borrow it from you to pay her. And Lark did my dusting so I could go on the errand, though she did not know what it was. And I—er—accidentally took one of Connie's ribbons to tie it with. Isn't that a family gift?" "Mr. Scott tells me you are the prime- mover in the Junior League now," he continued. "Well, goodness knows our Junior League needs a mover of some sort." "And Mrs. Davies says you are a whole mercy and help department all by yourself. "What I can't understand." said Carol mournfully, "is why folks don't keep their mouths shut I know that sounds very Inelegant, but it expresses my idea perfectly. Can't I have a good time in my own way without the whole church peddling me from door to d o o r r The twinkle in her father's eyes deepened. "What do you call i t Carol, 'sowing seeds of kindness'?" "I should say not" came the emphatic retort "I call it sowing seeds of fun. It's a circus to go around and gloat over folks when they are sick or sorry, or—" "But they tell me you don't gloat Mrs. Marling says you cried with Jeanie half a day when her dog died." **Oh, thaf s my way of gloating," said Carol, nothing daunted, but plainly to get away without further interrogation. It was a strange thing that of all the parsonage girls, Carol, light-hearted, whimsical, mischievous Carol, was the one most dear to the hearts of her father's people. Not the gentle Prudence, nor charming Fairy, not clever Lark nor conscientious Connie, could rival the -naughty twin* In Mount Mark's affections. And in spite of her odd curt speeches, and her openly vaunted vanity. Mount Mark Insisted she waa "good." Certainly the waa willing! "Get Carol Starr—shell do I t " waa the commonest phrase, in Mount Mark's vocabulary.

It waa only when the Indiscreet of her Wends brought the budding plants to light that she tausbtagty declared -It waa a elrcee to *» Once in the early dusk of a summer evening, she discovered old Ben Peters, half intoxicated, slumbering noisily on a pile of sacks in a corner of the parsonage barn. Carol waa sorry, but not at all frightened. The poor, kindly, weak, old man was as familiar to her as any figure In Mount Mark. He was always in a more or less helpless state of intoxication, but also he was always harmless, kindhearted and generous. She prodded him vigorously with the handle of th» pitchfork until he was aroused to consciousness, and then guided him into the woodshed with the buggy whip. When he wss seated on a chunk of wood she facftd him sternly. "Well, you are a dandy," she said. "Going into a parsonage barn, of all places In the world, to sleep off an odor like yours 1 Why didn't you go down to Fred Greer's harness shop, that's where you got it. We're such an awfully temperance town, you know! But the parsonage! Why, if the trustees had happened Into the barn and caught a whiff of that smell, father'd have lost his Job. Now you Just take warning from me, and keep away from this parsonage until you can develop a good Methodist odor. Oh, don't cry about it I Your very tears smell rummy. Jusr you hang on to that chunk of wood, and I'll bring you some coffee." Like a thief In the night she sneaked into the house, and presently returned with a huge tin of coffee, steaming hot. He drank It eagerly, but kept a wary eye on the haughty twin, who stood above hirn with the whip in her hand. "That's better. Now, sit down and listen to me. If you would come to the parsonage, you hove to take your medicine. Silver and gold have we none, but such as we have we give to you. And religion's all we've got. You're here, and I'm here. We haven't any choir or any Bible, but parsonage folks have to be adaptable. Now then, Ben Peters, you've got to get converted." The poor doddering old fellow, sobered by this awful announcement, looked helplessly at the window. It was too small. And slender active Carol, with the buggy whip, stood between him and (he door. "No. you can't escape. You're done for this time—it's the straight nnd narrow from this on. Now listen—It's really very simple. And you need It pretty badly, Ben. Of course you don't realize it when you're drunk, you can't see how terribly disgusting you are. but honestly, Bon, a pig Is a ray of sunshine compared to u drunk man. You're a blot on the landscape. You're a—you're a—" She fished vainly for words, longing for Lark's literary flow of language. "I'm not drunk," he stammered. "No, you're not, thanks to the buggy whip and that strong coffee, but you're no beauty even yet. Well now, to come down to religion again. You can't stop drinking—" "I could," he blustered feebly. "I could if I wanted to." "Oh, no, you couldn't. You haven't backbone enough. You couldn't stop to save your life. But," Carol's voice lowered a little, and she grew shy, but very earnest, "but God can stop you. because be has enough backbone for a hundred thousand—er. Jellyfishes. And —you see, it's like this. God made the world, and put the people In it. Now listen carefully, Ben, and I'll make it Just as simple as possible so it can sink through the smell and get at you. God made the world, and put the people in it. And the people sinned, worshiped idols and went back on God, and—did a lot of other mean things. So God was in honor bound to punish them, for that's the law, and God's the Judge that can't be bought. He had to Inflict punishment. But God and Jesus talked it over, and they felt awfully bad about i t for they kind of liked the people anyhow." She stared at the disreputable figure slouching on the chunk of wood. "It's very hard to understand, very. I should think they would despise us—some of us," she added significantly. "I'm sure I should. But anyhow they didn't Are you getting met** The bleary eyes were really fastened Intently on the girl's bright face, and he hung upon her words. "Well, they decided that Jesus should come down here and live, and be perfectly good, so he would not deserve any punishment and then God would allow him to receive the punishment anyhow, and the rest of us could go free. That would cover the law. See? Punishing him when he deserved no punishment Then they could forgive us heathens that didn't deserve i t Do you get that?*' 8he looked at him anxiously. "It all hinges on that you know. Tm not a preacher myself, but thaf s the idea. So Jesus was crudned. and then God said.

The cereal crop of Western Canada for 1917 was the most valuable one ever harvested; the returns from all classes of live stock have been equally satisfactory. The wool clip was not only greater than in any previous year, but the price obtained was double that of 1916, which in turn wub almost double thut of the year before. As was the ease in 1915 and 1910, many farmers were able to pay for their land outright with the proceeds of their first year's crop. Further evidence of the prosperity of Western Canada is shown by the fact that one In every twenty of the population is now the owner of an automobile. If the farming community alone is taken, it will be found thut the proportion of automobile owners is still greater. The bank clearings of the leading cities of Western Canada were consistently higher than they were in the corresponding periods of 1916, and then they were higher than the year preceding. In Winnipeg .$500,000,000 more was cleared in the 11 months ending November 30 than in the same months a year ago. The entry of the United States Into the war has strengthened the bonds between that country and Canada. We are now working together fcr the same ends. Those who are not fighting are promoting a greater production of foodstuffs. In this connection Western Canada offers a wonderful opportunity. Not only can larger quantities of staple foodstuffs be produced, but the cost of production Is lower and the remuneration greater than where mttd Is more expensive. Notwithstanding the fact that the price of farm products has doubled during the past three years, there are millions of acres of arable land in Western Canada which can still be bought at a low price. Western Canada has an enormous acreage prepared for seeding to wheat In 1918. It is larger than in 1917, and will probably surpass the record area put into crop in the year 1915, when the largest crop ever known in the West was harvested. The year HUG should also see a further Increase m live stock activity. Farmers have been Investing eonaUierable sums in cattle; the high prices secured for wool and mutton hove opened the eyes of Western farmers to the possibilities of sheep, and such was the demand for breeding animals last fall that it was impossible to meet it adequately; the campaign for greater bog production is expected to yield an Increase of between 25 and 50 per cent In 1918. Those who are contemplating coming to Western Canada cannot do better than come early in the spring when they can put in a crop and harvest k in the fall. In this way they will he able to achieve something that will not only be of great benefit to themselves, but also to the great cause far which the Allies, including the United States, are -now fighting.—Advertmement Salmon for Eastern Streams. Many thousands of humpback aal- /non, native of the Puget sosmd, where they wore collected by the government two years ago, entered Pombroke. Dennys, Penobscot, S t Ofiz and other rivers in eastern Maine tkte autumn as part of the fisheries bureau plan of stocking the East with the pride of the Pacific coast catch. The bureau's investigation shows that the humpback in Its new environment retains its Pnoifie coast habit of proceeding to the ocean shortly after it begins to swim, and returning to the rivers to spawn and die when two years old. The government has made annual shipments of eggs of the humpback salmon across the continent for the past five years, drawing the consignments alternately from Washington and Alaska, For Pimply Poets.

THE COAL SHORTAGE Contrary to the belief of many people, the present coal crisis^ has not come of our having sent too much coal out of the country. The coal is still in this country, but unfortunately most of it is still in the mines. Therein lies the chief difficulty. And there is absolutely no reason why it is still there when it should be on the outside. We eay no good reason, yet there is a reason. That reason is the policy that the coal operators, along with those controlling many other industries, have been pursuing for some years p a s t - limiting production. In hundreds of mining towns of the country, ever since the coal shortage has become acute, miners have been held down to four, three or even two days a week, notwithstanding the fact that tbey were clamoring for work and the public was suffering for their output. We will admit that the scarcity of cars had some bearing on the question,Ibut this was not the whole cause. If Uncle Sam can straighten out this tangle he will have the- thanks of a suffering public. But he will find thht neither he nor anybody else can relieve the situation until the men are sent into the mines and sent there to stay until there is sufficient coal above the ground to supply all our needs. When that is done a little judicious manipulating of the railroads will straighten the matter out. The Chicago Boys' Brotherhood Republic advertises for "the meanest boy in the United S t a t e s " and guarantees that in six months he will be made 100 per cent good. They may be able to make good all right, but it's a safe bet they will have no volunteers. We wonder how the kaiser is going to make peace with God.—Detroit Free Press. He fully expects, after he has conquered the earth, that God will .sue for peace with him. The kaiser is reported to be running out of man power. This country should help him out to the extent of about half a million of his subjects for whom we have absolutely no need. There are a million soldiers in this country who would give six months' pay for the opportunity Dr. Law, the kaiser's American dentist, so carelessly threw away. Fuel Administrator Garfield says the coal shortage was "largely psychological." We are gladfto know it wasn't the dreadful reality the suffering poor imiginedit. The hunter and taxidermist, Carl E. Akeley, who has spent a great deal of painstaking effort in preparing the wonderful aulmal groups at the American Museum of Natural History, is known throughout South Africa as au elephant hunter. He has had many thrilling experiences, one of which he describes in the New York Sun as follows: Elephants are no more conspicuous la their own country than jack rabbits are in theirs. They are the color of the shadows in the forest and almost as indistinguishable. Intelligence and vindictiveness a r e two of their most prominent characteristics. When one knows he is being hunted he will lie in wait, still as a rock, and looking much like oue, and will hunt his hunter as a dog hunts a rat. I had cut a big bull out from a herd and was following his spoor, knowing well enough that he was lying in wait for me somewhere. The big beast, a s it turned out afterwards, got my wind as I was stalking him, and was searching for me. I must have got within ten or twenty feet of him, because I remembered afterward that I heard a swift rush bat did not catch sight of him coming. The first I knew of his presence was a quick vision of his trunk as he knocked me down. Then I caught one glimpse of his little eyes as he curled up his trunk out of the way and tried to Impale me with his tusks. I had just time to grasp a tusk with my left hand and twist myself so that my body was between the two shafts of ivory. I felt the impact of his tusks as they dug into the ground on either side of me, and his heavy nose crushed against my ciiest. That is all I remember. My hunter fortunntely shot hfm dead as he was preparing for another thrust. I was unconscious as they carried me to the camp, where I lay for three month?!, with my chest so crushed that it was doubtful whether or not I should live. ft in Livingston Countyjfor the prices we offer them, AILJgoods cash after^January 1.

White island, .SO miles distant from New Zealand, Is probably the most extraordinary island in the world. It is an enormous mass of rock nearly three miles In circumference, rising 900 feet above the sea, and is perpetually enveloped in dark clouds, which a r e visible for nearly a hundred miles, says a writer. The island consists almost entirely of sulphur, with a small percentage of gypsum. Some years ago an attempt was made to float a company to work the sulphur, which 1« of high quality; hut, stfange to say, sufficient capital was not subscribed. Therefore the export of sulphur from White island is still very small. In the interior is a lage fully fifty acres in extent, the vapor of which has a temperature of 110 degrees F . and is strongly impregnated with acids. On one side of this lake are craters from which steam escapes with great force and noise. This steam and the vapor from the lake form the dark cloud which envelops the Island.

As a race, we are constantly dying before our time, and very often leading forlorn lives, making those around us miserable, simply because we are disobeying the simple laws of life, and among other things poisoning ourselves with bacterial infections, thus causing this very condition of auto-intoxication, writes Dr. W. H. Vail, in Christion Herald. Our plea, first, last and all t h e time Is for tbe simple life, which is not necessarily a vegetarian diet, only It so happens that the vegetable kingdom supplies the best articles of d i e t in onr estimation.

It has always been commonly believed that milk curdles owing to the change of temperature and that by using Ice this difficulty would be overcome, according to Dr. Humbert Buzzoni in the Electrical Experimenter, but this precaution does not take away the primal cause. While germs In milk remain latent under the unfavorable environment of perhaps zero degree, they develop immediately upon being brought in contact with light and a more productive environment! The moment ultra violet rays come in contact with the infinitesimal life development begins, and while it is true that some microbes are destroyed by the utra violet rays, it has been found that the Inferior organisms generally develop more rapidly under the influence of these rays. {WANTOCOLUNM — — — — — » NOTICE—If you want your shoes tapped, your harness repaired, tbe rips in your shoes sewed up, your rubbers or rubber boots tapped or patched and warranted not to leak, good work done and prices lower than others, call on W.

COMMUNITY EFFORT IS BEST Permanent Results Can Only Be Obtained by Building Animate Out of Shelter and Food—Government Ready to Help. _ (Prepared by th* Ualted State* Department of Agriculture.) The necessity of co-operation and organization in the work of rat destruction is of the utmost Importance. To destroy all the animals on the premises of a single farmer in a community has little permanent value, ilnce they are soon replaced from lear-by farms. If, however, the farm- •rs of an entire township or counts but £6 ($29.20) iu prize money. Had ordinary bounties* been paid for this destruction, the tax on the community would have been about £250 (over $1,200). Many organisations already formed should be interested In destroying rats. Boards of trade, civic societies, and citizens' associations in towns and farmers' and women's clubs In rural communities will find the subject of great importance. < Women's municipal leagues in several large cities already have taken up the matter. The league ia Baltimore recently secured appropriations of funds for expenditure la fighting mosquitoes, files sad rata. The league in Boston during the past year, supported by voluntary contributions for the purpose, made a highly creditable educational campaign against rats. Boys1 corn clubs, the troops of toy scouts, and similar organizations could do excellent work in rat campaigns. State and National Aid. To secure permanent results nny general campaign for the elimination of rats must aim at building the anl mals out of shelter and food. Building reforms depend on municipal ordinances and legislative enactments.

The Medico Laurentian museum of Florence, Italy, has In its possession what Is said to be the most valuable book In the world. This book is called the "Codex Amlatinus" and is pronounced by some scholars to be perhaps the oldest and by all odds the best ancient Latin manuscript of the Bible. The work Is believed to have been copied from the translation by Sfc. Jerome, which he made direct from early Greek and Hebrew scripts. Its origin Is placed in the ninth century, and is thought to have been the handiwork of English priests. RECIPE FOR GRAY HAIR. To half pint of water add 1 oz.

The bulldog grip— the grace of ing on—Is a powerful asset la assy boy's life, declares a writer. A good many who start out with "Great •expectations," as Dickens puts it, peter out. A man past middle life brought some of his paintings to the great English painter, Rossetti, for examination and judgment. Rossetti was obliged to tell the man that the works were lacking In strength and power. Then the man drew out other paintings and drawings, saying that they were the work of a young student. Rossetti declared them full of talent and promise, and asked who the student was. The middle-aged man, with pathos in his voice, admitted that they were the products of his younger days. He had failed to live up to the promise and possibilities of his young manhood; he hud failed to hroTffTjn to his ideals. It's u good plan to learn1 to "hold on." METHOD OF B A I T I N G GUILLOTINE TRAP. unite in efforts to get rid of rats, much more lasting results may be attained. If continued from year to year, such organized efforts are very effective. Community Efforts. Co-operative efforts to destroy rats have taken various forms in different localities. In cities, municipal employees have occasionally been set at work hunting rats from their retreats, with at least temporary benefit to the community. Thus, in 1904, at Folkestone, England, a town of about 25,000 Inhabitants, the corporation employees, helped by dog*, In three days killed 1,645 rats. Side hunts in which rats are the only animals that count In the contest have scsjietlmea been organized and successfully carried out. At New Burlington, 0., a rat hunt took place some years ago In which each of the two sides killed over 8,000 rats, the beaten party serving a banquet to the winners. There Is danger that organized rat hunts will be followed by long Intervals of indifference and inaction. This may be prevented by offering prizes covering a definite period of effort Such prizes accomplish more than municipal bounties, because they secure a friendly rivalry which stimulates the contestants to do their utmost to win. In England and some of Its colonies contests for prizes have been organized to promote the destruction of the English, or house, sparrow, but any of the so-called sparrow clubs are really sparrow and rat clubs, for the destruction of both pests *8 ^e avowed object of the organizations. A sparrow club in Kent England, accomplished the destruction of 28,000 sparrows and 16,000 rats In three seasons by the annual expenditure of MULCH AS SOIL PROTECTION Chief Value la In Keeping Surface From Packing Under Weight of Snow or Heavy Rains, - The mulch Is of value chiefly in protecting the surface soil, keeping it from packing under the weight of snows or heavy packing rains. The mulch also prevents heaving as a result of thawing and freezing. It protects the crowns and roots, adds fertility and sometimes retards budding out In the spring. This may be desirable when there are late frosts. of the United States Public Health Service, In San Francisco, Seattle, New Orleans, and at various places in Hawaii and Porto Rico required such ordinances and laws as well as financial aid In prosecuting the work. The campaign of Danish and Swedish organizations for the destruction of rats had the help of governmental appropriations. The legislatures of California, Texas, Indiana and Hawaii, have in recent years passed laws or made appropriations to aid In rat riddance. It is probable that well-organized efforts of communities would soon win legislative support everywhere. Communities should not postpone efforts, however, while waiting for legislative co-operation, but should at once organize and begin repressive operations. Wherever health Is threatened the public health service of the United States can co-operate, and where crops and other products are endangered the bureau of biological survey of the department of agriculture Is ready to assist by advice and In demonstration of methods.

Whaat Savinge—They must have wheat. It is the best food to flght on. It is the easiest to ship. We alone can spare it to them.

We have only to substitute another food just as good. The Cava of Plenty—Corn is that food. There's a surplus of It. Providence has been generous in the hour of our need. It has given us corn in such bounty as was never known before. Ton* of corn. Trainloads of corn. Five hundred million bushels over and above our regular needs. All we have to do is to learn to appreciate it Was ever patriotic duty made so easy? And so clear? America's Own Food—Corn! It is the true American food. The Indians, hardiest of races, lived on it. , Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered a continent. For a great section of our country it has blong een the staff of life. How well the South fought on it. history tells. Now it can help America win a world war. Learn Something—Corn! It isn't one food. It's a dozen. It's a cereal. It's a vegetable. It's a bread. It's a dessert. It's nutritious; more food value in it, dollar for dollar, than meat or eggs or most other vegetables. It's good to eat; how good you don*t know until you've ha"d corn-bread properly cooked. Best of all, it's plentiful and it's patriotic. Corn's Infinite Variety—Hew much do you know about corn?

Pinckney, Livingston Ctmnty, Michigan, Thursday, Jan. 24, J 918 p»»« No. 4 Itopilsto Pledge Allegiance to Flag Every public school pupil in Michigan will, Friday, January 25, when school opens, salute an American flag in the school room and say in unison: "I pledge allegiance to my flag and to the Republic for which it stands; one nation indivisible, with liberty and jusrice for all." Every Monday morning thereafter the pupils will go thru the same salute and repeat the pledge. F. L. Keeler, superintendent of public instruction, has ordered the observance, and hss sent broadcast pamphlets containing necessary instructions to teachers. On Monday mornings patriotic instructions of some nature will be given to the pupils. The sentiments of loyal Americana will be read to them and patriotic songs sung. January 26 ia the anniversary of the admission of Michigan to the Union. As that day falls on Saturday, a school holiday, Mr. Keeler has set Friday as school anniversary day. The proper way to give the pledge with the salute is as follows: Right hand uplifted palm downward, to a line with the forehead and close to it Standing thus, all repeat the pledge slowly. At the words "to my flag" the right hand is extended gracefully palm upward, toward the flag and remains in this position to the end of the affirmation, wheaeupon it quickly drops to the side. • • * • » - . . * > • • Attention Ladies of Putnam We have been requested by headquarter* to have our surgical dressings, when packed, ready for France.

In the meatless menu there is a fertile field for developing new and nourishing dishes, according to B. H. Nile*, writing in the Hotel Gazette, who believes that the present shortage of meat and fats will not end with the coming of peace, but may grow more acute and ojatlnue for five or six years, thus making It worth while to develop menus of grain, vegetables and fish on a more or less permanent basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals and other protein foods, or may be served in very small portions as a flavoring for other food. In making up meatless menus this author finds our American Creole and southern cuisine a broad field for Investigation. Union Services Believing it to be our patriotic duty to comply with the request of our government officials to combine church services when it can be done, to conserve fuel, we wish to announce union services of the Methodist and Congregational churches at the Congregational church ne£t Sabbath.

THE STARR FAMILY IS SETTING MUCH STORE BY JERRY JUNIOR, TO BE, BUT MOTHER NATURE DOESN'T TELL ALL HER SECRETS Synopsis.—The story concerns the household of Rev. Mr. Starr, a Methodist minister at Mount Mark, Iu., and the affairs of his five lovable daughters—Prudence, the eldest; Fairy, the next; Carol and Lark, twins; and Connie, the "baby." Prudence marries and goes away. Her place as "mother" in the home is taken by Aunt Grace. Fairy is engaged to wed. The twins and the "baby," Just coming Into womanhood, have the usual boy-and-girl love affairs, and the usual amazing adventures of adolescence. Carol discovers love. CHAPTER IX—Continued. —10— "Yes. he wanted to. But Prudence has set her heart on coming home. She says she'll never feel that Jerry Junior got the proper start if it happens any place else. They'll have a trained nurse." "Jerry—what?" gasped the twins, after a short silence due to amazement. "Jerry Junior—that's what they call it." "I—think I'll go and see," said Mr. Starr, turning heavily. Jerry hesitated a minute. "I—think I'll go along," he said. For an instant their eyes met, sympathetically, and did not smile though their lips curved. Down in the kitchen, meanwhile.

Fairy picked up the little embroidered dress and kissed it, but her fond eyes were anxious. So, a few weeks later, weeks crowded full of tumult and anxiety, yes, and laughter, too, Prudence and Jerry came to Mount MarV and settled down to quiet Ufe in the parsonage. The girls kissed Prudence very often, leaped quickly to do her errands, and touched her with nervous fingers. But mostly they sat across the room and regarded her curiously, shyly, quite maternally. "Carol and Lark Starr," Prudence cried crossly one day, when she Intercepted one of these surreptitious glances, "you march right upstairs and shut yourselves up for thirty minutes. And If you ever sit around and stare at me like a stranger again, HI spank you both, rm no outsider. I belong here just as much as ever I did. And Tm still the head of things around here, tool" The twins obediently marched, and after that Prudence was more Hire Prudence, and the twins were much more twinnlsn, ao that life was very nearly normal in the old parsonage.

But his suggestion met with dark reproach. "Father, if you're hungry, take a piece of bread out into the woodshed," begged Connie. "If anybody eats anything before me I shall Jump up and down and scream." After that the silence was unbroken save once when Carol began encouragingly : "Every—" "Sure they* do," interrupted Fairy uncompromisingly. And then—the hush. Long, long after that, when the girls' eyes were heavy, not with want of sleep, but Just with unspeakable wear!* ness of spirit—they heard a step ou the stair. "Come on up, Harmer," the doctor called. And then, "Sure, she's all right. She's fine and dandy—both of them are." Jerry was gone in an Instant, and L>. Starr looked after him with Inscrutable eyes. "Fathers are—only fathers/' he said enigmatically. "Tea," agreed Carol. "Yes. In a crista, the other man goes first." His daughters turned to him then, tenderly, sympathetically. T o n had your turn, father." Connie consoled him. And felt repaid for the effort when be smiled at her. "Jerry Junior," Lark mused. **He*s here.—'Aunt Lark, may I hare a eookyr" A few minutes later the door was carefully shored open by means of a cautious foot and Jerry stood before them, holding In his arms a Mg bundle of delicately tinted flannel. -"Ladies and gentlemen," he began, beaming at them, his face flushed, his eyes bright embarrassed, but thoroughly satisfied. Of course Prudence waa the dearest girl In the world, and he adored her, sad—hut this was different this was fatherhood 1 "Ladles and gesrtiemem," he said again to the tender, half-Uughing sotea that Prudence loved, l o t sat iatredsjee to you my tittle daughter, fairy Bar* lleye It Not Fairy J Ton are Joking," "Of course it is Fairy," he said.

Well, you must be care* fui of the flannel, for when ladies are the size of this one, you can't tell which is flannel and which is foot. Fairy Harmer! Here, grandpa, what do you think of this? And Prudence said to send you right upstairs, and hurry. And the girls must go to bed immediately or they'll be sick tomorrow. Prudence sayH so." "Oh, that's enough. That's Pruderce all over! You needn't tell us any nSBjre Here, Fairy Harmer, let us look at you. Hold her down, Jerry. Mercy! Me*rcy i" "Isn't she a beauty?" boasted the young father proudly. "A beauty? A beauty! Tftat!" Carol rubbed her slender fingers over her own velvety cheek. "They talk about the matchless skin of a new-born lufant. Thanks. I'd just as lief have my own." "Oh, she isn't acclimated yet, that's all. Do you think she looks like me?" "No, Jerry, I don't," said Lark candidly. "I never considered you a dreftm of loveliness, by any means, but in due honesty I must admit that you don't look like that." "Why, it hasn't any hair!" Connie protested. "Well, give it-time," urged the baby's father. "Be reasonable, Connie, What can you expect In fifteen minutes." "But they always have a little hair," she Insisted. "No, indeed, they don't, Miss Connie," he said flatly. "For if they always did, ours would have. "Now don't try to let on there's anything the matter with her, for there isn't.—Look at her nose, if you don't like her hair.—What do you think of a nose like that now? Just look at it." "Yes, we're looking at It," was the grim reply. "And—and chin—look at her chin. See here, do you mean to say you are making fun of Fnlry Harmer? Come on, tootsie, we'll go 'oack upstairs. They're crazy about us up there." "Oh. see the cunning little footles," crowed Connie. "Here, cover 'em up,' said Jerry anxiously. "You mustn't let their feet stick o:it. Prudence says so. It's considered very—er, bad form, I believe." "Fairy! Honestly, Jerry, is it Fairy? When did you decide?" "Oh, a long time ago," he said, "years ago, I guess. You see, we always wanted a girl. Prue didn't think she hud enough experience with the stronger sex yet, and of course rm strong for the ladles. But It seems that what you want is what you don't get. So we decided to call her Fairy when she came, and then we wanted a boy, and talked boy, and got the girl! Let go, Connie, it Is my daughter's bedtime. There -now, there now, baby, was she her daddy's little girl?" Flushed and laughing, Jerry broke away from the admiring, giggling, nearly tearful girls, and hurried upstairs with Jerry Junior. But Fairy stood motionless by the door. "Prudence's baby," she whispered. "Little Fairy Harmer! — Mmmmmmra!" \ -Not—not Fairy r cried Fairy, 1ST, tearfully. -Oh, Jerry. I doat he- CHAPTER X. The End of Fairy. Now that the twins had attained to the dignity of eighteen years, and were respectable students at the thoroughly respectable Presbyterian college, they had dates very frequently. And It was along about this time that Mr. Starr developed a sudden interest in the evening callers at his home. He bobbed up unannounced In most unexpected places and at most unexpected hours. He walked about the house with a sharp, sly look in his eyes, In a way that could only be described as Carol said, by "downright noisiness." The girls discussed this new phase of his character when they were alone, but decided not to mention it to him, for fear of hurting his feelings. "Maybe he's got a new kind of a sermon up his brain," said Carol. "Maybe he's beginning to realise that his clothes are wearing out Again," suggested Lark. "He's too young for second childhood." Connie thought So they watched him curiously. Aunt Grace, too. obi«rved this queer devotion on the part of the minister, and finally her curiosity overcame her habit ef keeping client. "William," she said gently, -what's the matter with you lately? la there anything on your mind?** Mr. Starr started nervously. "My mind? Of course not Why?** "Ton seem to be Uoking for something. You watch the girls so closely, you're always hangtnf around, and—" He smiled broadly. -Thanks for that 'Hanging around,' tn my own parsonage. That is the gratitude of a loving family r Aunt Grace smiled. "Well, I see there's nothing much the matter with yon. I was seriously worried. I thought there was something wrong, • -Sort of mentally unhalaaced, hi that ttf Oh, no, rai J u t faantUr." the family t Tan -Oh, only in the most honorable way, of course. Ten see," he gave his ex* planation with an air of relief, -Prudence always says I must keep an eye on Carol. She's so pretty, and the boys get stuck on her, and—that's what Prudence says, I forgot all about It for a while. But lately I have begun to notice that the boys are older, and— we don't want Carol falling in love with the wrong man. I got uneasy. I decided to watch out I'm the head of this family, you know." "Such an idea I" scoffed Aunt Grace, who was not at all of a scoffing nal true. •'Carol was born for lovers, Prudence says so. And these men's girls have to be watched, or the wrong fellow wiU get ahead, and—" "Carol doesn't need watching—not any more at least." ''I'm not really watching her, you know. Tm just keeping my eyes open." "But Carol'B all right. That's one time Prudence was away off," She smiled as she recognized a bit of Carol's slang upon his lips. Don't worry about her. You needn't keep an eye on her any more. She's coming, all right." "You don't think there's any danger of her falling in love with the wrong man?" "No." "There aren't many worth-having fellows in Mount Mark, you know." "Carol won't fall in love with a Mount Mark fellow." "You seem very positive." "Yes, Tm positive." He looked thoughtful for a while. "Well, Prudence always told me te watch Carol, so I could help her If shJ needed it." "Girls always need their fathers," came the quick reply. "But Carol does not need you particularly. There's only one of them who will require especial attention." "That's what Prudence says." "Yes, Just one—not Carol." "Not Caroll" He looked at her In astonishment. "Why, Fairy and Lark are—different. They're all right. Thex don't need attention." . "No. It's the other one." "The other one! That's all." "There's Connie." "Connie?" "Yes." "Connie?" "Yes." "You don't mean Connie." Aunt Grace smiled. "Why, Grace, you're—you're off. Excuse me for saying It, but—you're crazy. Connie—why, Connie has never been any trouble In her life. Connie!" "You've never had any friction with Connie, she's always been right so far. One of these days she's pretty likely to be wrong, and Connie doesn't yield very easily." "But Connie's ao sober and straight, and—** "That's the kind." "She's so conscientious." " "Yes, conscientious." "She*8—look here, Grace, there's nothing the matter with Connie." "Of course not, William. That isn't what I mean. But you ought to be getting very, very close to Connie right now, for one of these days she's going to need a lot of that extra companionship Prudence told you about. Con* nie wants to know everything. She wonts to see everything. None of the other girls ever yearned for city life, Connie does. She says when she is through school she's going to the city.** "What c i t y r "Any city." "What for?" "For experience." Mr. Starr looked about him helplessly. -There's experience right here," he protested feebly. "Lots of i t Entirely too much of it" "Well, that't Connie. She wants to know, to see, to feel. She wants to live. Get close to her, get chummy. She may not need It and +hen again she may. She's very young yet." "All right I will. It Is well I have some one to steer me along the proper road." He looked regretfully out of the window. 1 ought to be able to see these things for myself, but the girls seem perfectly all right to me. They always have. I suppose it's because they're mine." Aunt Grace looked at him affectionately. "It's because they're the finest girls on earth," she declared. -That*a why. But we want to be ready to help them If they need i t jnst because they are so fine.

Then, without giving anybody a chance to look at the samples beforehand, blindfold each scout and have him try to Identify the samples by smelling of them.

THE ONION AND THE PARSNIP By W. R. GILBERT. Onions can never have too rich a /oil for their requirements. Parsnips can, and all we want for the latter Is a deeply tilled plot in fairly good earth, to which no fresh manure has recently been added. This, given fairly dry weather conditions, should be made ready as earlj as possible, as the sooner the seeds are got in, with safety, the better the chances will be for their developing into shapely, usable roots of good size. As a matter of fact, we> never see parsnips too big, provided the roots are clean and shapely, but undersized specimens with possible prongs to their bodies are hardly worth the dig- Sing. Most of the pronging, possibly all of it, arises from the prepared oil. If white sand can be had to incorporate with the soil, It should be freely used. In digging, two spits at least are necessary, and if the grower chooses to go another foot he will be repaid for his trouble. After digging a dry day and dry soil should be given for working the whole with a digging fork; after that some little consolidation of the surface will be necessary to prevent sinking into hollows during the process of sowing. For this the surface must be sufficiently dry to prevent all suspicion of clinging to the feet, and if you cannot have those happy conditions just at the time wanted, you must wait for thera. Drills about two Inches In depth should be drawn for the seeds, and as we want really food roots, the drills may well "be drawn 18 inches apart. In these the seeds should be sown thinly, and the error of putting in 50 seeds where but one is wanted should not be so common. Allowance must, of course, Ife made for failures, but two seeds should never tonch, or there is trouble for the thinner, who, in pulling one is apt to pull both. The onion Is a deeper rooting subject than many are aware of and although all w e want is above ground, to get that good the roots go down into it, so deep tillage in this case is desirable. If the ground is well worked, under dry conditions, it can be thoroughly firmed, and it can hardly be too firm or too much consolidated for onions prior to sowing. . The drills may he drawn as for parsnips, but closer together, one foot apart being ample, and after sowing with a thoroughly dry surface the roller may be-brought into requisition, or failing t h a t well walked and finally smoothed over with the back of s rake. leaves which should have been their winter coverlet. Loosen them up gradually, taking care that the plants are not smothering. If the weather continues fine, work the loose leaves a little more into the soil every day, thus gradually making the change. If you wish to mark a choice specimen, tie a string around it while in bloom. The flowers come and go so rapidly that one must be prompt to be sure of marking the prize. Some cut the tops from hyacinths as soon as the leaves turn yellow, remove them end plant to annuals. This is a very neat way of getting rid of the bulbs—and most effectual as a rule. But if you wish hyacinths another year, there is a hetter way, unless you can afford to purchase new bulbs. Those discolored leaves nre n necessity, to the plant which Is ripening the bulbs, and if they cannot he tolerated a permissible compromise Is to transplant the bulbs to some out-of-the-way corner of the yard, where they can ripen in peace. They may then bo dried and packed away for autumn planting. It is better to replant the hardy bulbs at least once in two or three years, else they become too thickly matted. Besides, the soil needs a renewal of fertilizer; and this can never be done so well as when the bed is empty. There Is often complaint that the old-fashioned double-white Xorclssus Poeticus blasts in the bud. This Is usually remedied by resetting the bulbs, which have become matted together. If you have a number of varieties of tulips and more time or patience than money to buy new varieties, there is often much pleasure in growing tulips from seed. Some of the soft shades in old rose have been in our own garden evolved from the cross-fertlliaation of standard forms. There is pleasure, too, in watching the unfolding of the unknown. N e w varieties purchased of seedmen are always announced and their beauties described ; but these seedlings are positively new, and some of them are strikingly beautiful. If in planting your tulips, carmine and scarlet are in painful contrast, mark the one for removal at the proper season. Some flowers show only harmony In varietal colore, bnt the tulip cannot be classed among these. DO NOT PLANT TOO DEEP CTBP CTHB fiOOflHH EARLY WORK IN THE BULB GARDEN By L. M. BENNINGTON.

GOERNMENT OWNERSHIP^ Now that the government has assumed administrative control of the railroads of the country, the attention of the public is leaping foaward to the possible contingency of government of government ownership. Already the management of the roads have conceded that this would probably come, and express themselves as desiring such an outcome. There are many of the American CORN WILL WIN DEMOCRACY'S WAR America's Greatest Cereal Crop Is Now, Moving to Market MAINSTAY IN NATION'S CRISIS. Surplus Wheat of tha United States Has Been Sent to Famine Threat- «ned Europe* America's great corn crop, exceeding 8,000,000,000 bushels, will save the world's food situation, officials of the United States food administration believe. Corn is the nation's best food cereal, housewives are beginning to realize. It contains all the elements needed to keep the body in a state of health and when used according to the scores of tried recipes, especially when combined with an added portion of oil or fat, will sustain life indefinitely. Indian warriors in colonial days lived on parched corn alone for many days at a time, and at Valley Forge parched corn was at times the sole ration of the Continental soldiers. Owing to transportation difficulties caused by people who believe that the govern the war the corn crop moved ment must eventually control all public} more slowly to market this year than utilities. Most people, however, require to be shown, and will wait with keen interest the results of the present move. If the government can demonstrate its ability to bring order out of chaos of transportation conditions, it will go a long way toward convincing the doubting Thomases among us, -and and the step from government control to government ownership may be a short one and easily taken. There are a number of features of the present control which, if successfully worked out, will clearly demonever before. Now, however, the cereal Is reaching the millers and consumers. In the meantime the nation's surplus wheat has been sent to Europe. Today there are approximately 30 bushels of corn for every American. This quantity Is greater by live bushels than in former years. Corn has become the nation's mainstay in the crisis of war. Just as this cereal saved the first American colonists from famine on many occasions, just as it served as a s t a p l e foot! d u r i n g t h e W a r o f t h e R e v - o l u t i o n a n d ( l u r i n g t h e Civil \Yi\\\ K i n g C o r n h a s a.^ain c o m e t o t h e f r o n t In Artificial Wood Froro 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 loaves are finely E u n d , mixed with a suitable binder, ped In molds under a pressure of atmospheres, and dried by heat while still under pressure. The best binder Is stated to be viscose, though this may be strengthened by the addl« Uon of a little glue, water-glass, casein, rosin, or other substance. Ths (ground leaves are boiled with soda lye before mixing with the solution of viscose ; 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 and peat flour. Rabbits of the World. All of the domestic varieties of rabfblts, except the Belgian hare, are descendants of the burrowing rabbits of the Old World, and the big European Ihare, almost as large as our western Jackrabblt, is the ancestor of the socalled Belgian form, which is now quite popular as a domestic animal of !profit and is becoming more so, observes an exchange. In the Northern hemisphere of the sVew World we have many more species j of hares than the Old World can boast i of, as the cottontail, the Southern swamp hare, the Arctic hare or snowjahoe rabbit and two species of Western Jackrahblts or giant hares. Yet ;we have not successfully domesticated ione of these forms, though this might !be done as a matter of profit in the production of meat. strate the ability of the government to i Uie nation's kittle with av handle the huge problem. Foremost among these is the problem of labor. For a number of years now the operatives haAe been consolidating their craft organizations and of late have presented almost a solid front to the management, so that any demand of theirs inevitably assumed the aspect of a threat. And a threat from them the management knew to be frought with grave danger. It will be interesting to watch the progress of the government in handling this huge army of thoroughly organized workers. The railroads themselves have failed in the task; can Uncle Sam succeed? When President Wilson proclaimed the roads under government control, there was pending before the management a demand from the men for something like a 40 per cent raise in wages. This the roads have promptly shifted to the shoulders of the government. Will the demand be granted; and if not, will the men have the nerve to press their demand? If this transpires, what will be the government's action. Government policy in other hnes of controll has not been at all favorable to labor organizations. For some time now the railroad heads have contended that the demands of the men were unreasonable. Uncle Sam is a liberable paymaster, but should his view coincide with that of the management, the men may find that their attitude in the past has baen a large factor in shifting them from the frying pan into the fire.

Hundreds ot housewives and many of the larger bakers are mixing 20 per cent, corn meal with wheat flour to make leavened bread. This kind of a mixture is worked and baked in the same recipes and with the same methods that apply to straight wheat bread. Corn bread—using corn meal entirely— Is gaining a greater popularity than ever before. Housewives are coming to realize that every pound of wheat saved In America means a pound of wheat released for shipment to the nations with which America is associated In the war. There are a score of corn products that today possess unusual Importance for Americans. Corn syrup for sweetening corn cakes and buckwheat cakes and for use In the kitchen Instead of granulated sugar Is one of the leading products made from corn. Corn oil, excellent for frying and for every other purpose filled by salad oils, is appearing on the market in large quantities. It comes from the germ of the corn.

The angler could cast a fly, and had caught trout in the south of England, but had never so much as seen a salmon river. Great was his joy, therefore, when one day he received an invitation to fish one of the most famous spring salmon rivers in the north of Scotland, relates the Field. In the very first cast that he tried he hooked and landed his first salmon—a tcnpounder. The first salmon i'j always the most perfect and beautiful that ever was seen, and the angler reflected that if | lie carried his fish in the bag all day it would dry and lope its lovely sheen, j On the top of the brae there was a marshy nook that would answer his purpose admirably. He deposited his treasure in this nest and, having covered it with a thick layer of rushes, went on his way. The rest of the day he caught nothing except a half-pound trout. Still he was very happy and content as he turned homeward, and whistled merrily as he approached the marshy nook. But there he found a Highland cow In the act of consuming his salmon, of which little remained except the head and the tall. In his anger he flung the trout savagely at the cow, hitting her fully In the face; but, so far from taking offense, she seemed rather to think that he had brought | WANT COLUNM \ NOTICE—If you want your shoes tapped, your harness repaired, the rips in your shoes sewed up, your rubbers or rubber boois tapped or patched ar i warranted not to leak, good work done and prices lower than others, call on W.

Romilly, who was of French descent, launched an agitation against these codes, and In 1808 he succeeded in repealing the Elizabethan statute which made it a capital offense to steal privately from the person of another. From that time until his death he waged war unceasingly against these cruel statutes, renewing his motions session after session, and although he failed, he cleared the way for the success of others who kept np the agitation. Romilly was devoted to his wife, and when she died, October 29, 1818, the philanthropist fell into a delirium of grief.

FROGS AND WHAT THEY EAT Croakers Thrive on Almost Any Form of Animal Life Small Enough to Be Seized and Swallowed. The food of the frog consists of earthworms, insects, spiders and any form of animal life small enough to be seized and swallowed. Large frogs will often devour their smaller relatives. The big bullfrog is an especially dangerous enemy to other members of its kind. It has been known even to ent small birds. Some frogs are fond of snails and will swallow them shells and all, says Boy's Life. It is interesting to note that frou:s can eat bees and wasps notwithstanding the sting. In seizing food it usually makes use of its curious extensile tonfcue, which can be thrust out of the mouth with surprising rapidity. The tongue is attached to the front of the jaw, its forked rear end free so that it can be flipped out of the mouth. It is supplied wi'h a slirhy sren.>| h m that picks up- the f.md. Th" fVo:: cannot sei. an ohjc'i near \n iN-lf. Any dandling bait sh"t:M, ile'ivioiv, lie at a distance of from two to three feet. Frogs may ho caugln by dangling small bits of red yarn before them on a hook and sometimes even without a hook. When the yarn is seized the animal may be jerked out of the water. Bullfrogs kept in captivity readily attempt to swallow one's fingers. TIMES AND PLACE FOR SLEEP Churches and Street Cars Are Favored But the Cozy Bed Affords a Most Delightful Pastime. There are lots of people who say they don't sleep well at night. But there are many who regularly go to sleep in the street car. Of course, those who go to sleep In church are not counted. That might be construed as libel, observes the Milwaukee News. But why do perfectly healthy folks want to sleep In street cars? Is It a protest against the wlstfnl-eyed straphanger who gases at their large and apethetie laps? Is It mere whim, desiring to shut out the events of the day and snatch a quiet moment of dreaming as a respite? It is often mere pie, Just a rampant .indigestion.

The rigid censorship, which has heretofore been maintained concernnig the trench area of the 85th division, has been lifted by the commandant, Major-General Parker.

There were two good reasons for this condition. One was that the barracks get the first steam from the plants, and the other was that from the major-general, who sat at the wheel of his big car and smashed his way through the drifts after all traffic had been abandoned, down to the last second lieutenant, each man with shoulder straps was devoting every minute of his time to watching over the enlisted men.

Washington—Six men were killed and three injured on the United States battleship Michigan when the ship was caught in a heavy gale at sea, it was officially announced. The dead are: Osben Capers Belyeu, Carl Frederick Marahrens, Clarence Eugeno Book, Frank John Prinz and Julian S. Bell, all seamen; and John Engellio Chico, a fireman. The injured: Edward Thomas Mc- Donald, left arm broken; Gordon Solomon Farmer, both arms broken; Virgil V. Biggers, thigh cut and head and ankle injured. None of the dead or injured are from Michigan. The men were killed and injured by the falling of a cage mast, the first accident of its kind in the navy. NEW DRAFT REGISTRATION BILL Administration Proposes to List Men When They Become Twenty-one. Washngton—The government has decided on draft registration of all young men as fast as they become 21 years old as the means of keeping filled the ranks of the war army. It has decided against raising the draft age limit above 31 years. An administration bill has been introduced at the request of the war department, by Chairman Chamberlain, of the senate military committee, to register for draft all men who have reached 21 since June 5, 1917, when the draft law became effective. The adminlstraton's support seems to assure its prompt passage. The bills agree with recent recommendations of Provost Marshal General Crowder.

Washington—In spite of the storm of protest from business interests throughout the nation, the order by national fuel administrator Garfield, closing factories from January 18 to 22, was upheld. Problems rising out of the hardships faced by more than seven million employes in the affected territory are a d ' mittedly great. Appeal was made t o industries not to curtail wages for the "rest" period any more than is absolutely necessary. Extra precautions were taken to prevent outbreaks of any kind resulting from enforced idleness of millions of workers for five dayB. Congress, the White House and other departments fairly shook under the reaction from the order. In addition to the five day suspension of business, the next nine Mondays will be virtual holidays, when alt industries and amusements must close. The order is compulsory and carries a fine of $5,000 or one year's imprisonment for violations. It will be enforced by state fuel administrators. Hopeless scarcity of fuel, combined with congestion of shipments caused by the recent storm tie-ups In the middle west forced the fuel administration to take this sudden and far reaching step. 600,000 in Michigan Affected. Lansing—According to reliable estimates prepared from reports by State Fuel Commissioner Fletcher, the order issued by the federal fuel administrator closing all factories for five days,, approximately 600,000 factory employes in Michigan were temporarily out of employment. U-BOAT CREWS START MUTINY Thirty-eight Officers Reported Killed By German Sailors. London—A mutiny among submarine crews at the German naval base of Kiel on January 7 is reported in an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Geneva. Thirty-eight officers are said to have been killed. The Geneva dispatch quotes advices received there from Basel giving details concernng the mutiny. It is said to have been begun by submarine crews and subsequently to have spread to portions of the crews of cruisers stationed at Kiel. Some of the men who joined in the attack on the officers took part in the earlier mutiny at Kiel, the dispatch reports. It adds: "Although the mutiny was local, it shows that German naval men are dissatisfied, especially in the submarine service, as the number of boats returning to German ports is decreasing every month."

The United States having bieu in the great world's war for about nine mouths, the touch of war's spirit has permeated the great commonwealth, and In every hamlet and district is felt and shown the interest that was to be expected from a people whose love of liberty and Justice rises supreme to all else. Day by day their appreciation of what it means to give up now for the future happiness of themselves and the generations that follow grows greater and greater. There will be losses of loved ones, but there will be no badge of mourning to indicate the great sorrow that will be felt. It is realized that the sacrifice is the toll that Is demanded for making the whole world better, and, sensing this, there is preparation and willingness to sacrifice until the goal-—the defeat and downfall. of despotism—is assured. When the people look buck, and see what Canada has done, and learn that Canada today is bigger and better than ever, they will take heart, and with increasingly growing vigor curry on with a greater courage. Canada has been In the war for three and a half years. She has sent 400,000 out of a population of eight million, she has subscribed to Victory Bonds over and over again and there Is no sound of a whimper. At each demand that is made upon her resources, she meets it, and gets ready for the next. Recently her people were asked to subscribe $300,000,000. She handed over $4G0,- 000,000. Having already contributed 400,000 soldiers, Canada was recently asked to approve of sending another 100,000. With a sweeping majority, consent was given. How the war affects Canada is best shown by the willingness of the people to contribute, They, too, realize the great and noble part they are taking in this great conillct. They are a unit on making the world better. Canada's wealth wns never shown to bettor advantage than in the present struggle. It possesses great wealth in the soil, in Its mines, its other natural resources, and wonderful riches in the tenacity and courage 'of its men and its women. The soil and the climate, and the hardihood and determination of the farming class to win, by cultivating and cultivating, growing wheat and raising cattle to build up the resources so necessary to carry on the; war, are factors that will count. Probably the best word of encouragement comes from the Hrcmiers of the three great provinces where the bulk of the food products will come from. When ono rends what these men, prominent in their country say, it gives inspiration. If there are any who may be pessimistic of the future, the message that these gentlemen send forward should remove all doubt. Three and a half years In the war, able to speak as they do, the future should look bright to those who may have their seasons of doubt! Hon. T. C. Norris, Premier of Manitoba, says : "Manitoba has prospered exceedingly during the year 1D17, and the new yenr finds us not only still ready and willing, but unceasingly able to bear whatever burdens the fourth year of the war mny bring. "Manitoba farmers, generally speaking, have never been ln better condition to carry on. Out of her prosperity Manitoba Is giving lavishly toward the winning of the war. Every appeal for funds has met with quick and generous response. The people of the Province are well settled Into the collar In all war efforts. There's a spirit of determination, of willingness to make sacrifices, of confidence in the certain outcome, of which there is no room for pessimism. Manitoba will carry on." Saskatchewan had a prosperous and successful year in 1917, and when Premier Martin sent out his New Year message it was filled with an optimism that was fully warranted. "There is no doubt-that the province today is ln a better condition financially than ever before. True, the effects of the town and city real estate boom have not altogether passed away, but speaking generally, the farmers on the plains and the merchnnts in the towns are in a better financial position today than at any previous time. Our people are industrious and progressive. "While we have in some portions of the Province a mixed population, education and scientific methods are making rapid strides and we are looking forward with every confidence to a glorious future and the development of a people on the central plains of Canada, of which the whole Dominion and the British "Empire will have every reason to be prond.** While Alberta has given over to the war thousands of her virile "»«nfriHE4t thus taking from the farmer s large percentage of Its producers* It stffl stands up big and buoyant The farm neip cuus leuipwenry removes a demand for farm help and Increased farm effort to till lis highly prodactlve acres. Hon. Chas. Stewart, Premier of Alberta, ln a message to the people on the 1st of January, speaks with such buoyancy and hope of the future and so highly of the work of the past year. that his statement Is reproduced. He says : "The prosperity of the farming communities la reflected in the towns and cities by increased wholesale business' and bank clearances. Wholesalers report increases from 20 per cent to 25 per cent and their collections the best in the history of the Province. Alberta being essentially an agricultural Province at the present time, these conditions are a source of great gratification to our people, and no doubt will be to Canada us a whole—taking into consideration the fact that Alberta forms no small part of the granary to which the Empire at present looks as tho source of its food supply."- Advertisement.

Few home-butlderg realise the importance of the dining room. Too frequently it is placed in some convenient corner, light and outlook being sacrificed for the benefit of otbei rooms. It is true that in a small cottage a dining room may be omitted This may be necessary in order to give added space to the living room. It is better to have either an alcove off the kitchen or make a combined living and dining room than to provide both without proper else or ventilation.

Mr. Starr, a Methodist minister at Mount Mark, la., and the affairs of his five loveable daughters—Prudeace, the eldest; Fairy, the next; Carol and Lark, twins; and Connie, the "baby." Prudence marries and goes away. Her place as "mother" in the home is taken by Aunt Grace. Fairy is engaged to wed. The twins and the 4,baby," just coming into womanhood, have the usual boy-and-girl love_ affairs, and the usual amazing adventures of adolescence.

Her girlish, impulsive touched him very deeply. **t wouldn't want the girls to know they'd think it was so funny, but—" paused uncertainly, and looked question!ngly Into his face. "Maybe you won't understand what I mean, but sometimes, I'd like to be good raypelf. Awfully good, I mean." She emlled whlmsicaly. "Wouldn't Connie iscrenm if she heard that? Now you (won't give me away, will you? But I p e o n It. I don't think of It very pften, but sometimes, why, Professor, honestly, I wouldn't care if I were as Rood as Prudence!" She paused dramatically, and the professor pressed (the slender hand more closely in his. i "Oh, I don't worry about It. I sup- rse one hasn't any business to expect good complexion and Just natural [goodness, both at once, but:—" She emlled again. "Five thousand dollars," (she added dreamily. "Five thousand dollars! What shall I call you now? P'fesser ia not appropriate any more, is it?" "Call me David, won't you, Carol? pr Dave." ' Carol gasped. "Oh, mercy 1 What jwould Prudence say?" She giggled Werrily. "Oh, mercy!" She was silent ja moment then. "I'll have to be con- Itented with plain Mr. Duke, I suppose, juntil you get a D. D. Duckte, D. D.,H she added laughingly. But in an int ahe was sober again. "I do. rove ur Job. If I were a man Td be a myself.

"We must go ek now," she added presently. And turned at once, walking slowly toward the parsonage. j "Can't you write to me a little often- |er, Carol? I hate to be a bother, but uncle never writes, letters, and I to knew bow my friends here are and deaths, Just plain gossip, m like it very much if you can.

"Well, I'm not craxy it writing letters, as such. But TO glad to get yours that I know HI ijoy answering them." the personage gate they stood the gsjela she ottered her hand, aad It gravely, too*}** with Into her face, a little pale Be noted again taw wtta its efjtttt and only slightly tremulous, she looked into his eyes and laughed. The professor was in nowise deceived by her attempt at light-heartedness, remembering as he did the quick quivering lips beneath hla, and the unconscious yielding of the supple body in his arms. He condemned himself mentally in no uncertain terms for having yielded to the temptation of her young loveliness. Carol still laughed, determined by her merriment to set the seal of insignificance upon the act "Come and walk a little farther, Carol," he said In a low veice. "I want to say something else." Then after a few minutes of silence, he began rather awkwardly, and David Arnold Duke was not usually awkward: "Carol, you'll think I'm a cad to say what I'm going to, after doing what I have Just done, but I'll have to risk that. You shouldu't let men kiss you. It Isn't right. You're too pretty and sweet and fine for It. I know you don't allow It, commonly, but don't at all. I hate to think of anyone even touching a girl like you." Carol leaned forward, tilting back her head, and looking up at him roguishly, her face a-sparkle. He blushed more deeply. "Oh, I know it," he said. "I'm ashamed of myself. But I can't help what you think of me. I do think you shouldolt let them, and I hope you won't. They're sure to want to." "Yes," she said quietly, very grownup Indeed just then, "yes, they do. Aren't men funny? They always want to. Sometimes we hear old women say, 'Men are all alike.' I never believe it. I hate old women who say it But—are they all alike, professor?" "No," he said grimly, "they are not. B U I suppose any man would like to kiss a gi-rl rs sweet as you are. But men are not all alike. Don't you believe It. You won't, then, will your "Von't believe it? No." "I mean," he said, almost stammering In his confusion, "I mean you won't let them touch you," Carol smiled teaaingly, but. In a moment she spoke, and very* quietly. "P'fessor, Til tell you a blood-red seret If you swear tip and down you'll never tell anybody. Tve never told Lark—well, one night when I was a sophomore—do you remember Bud Garvin?** "Yes, the tall fellow with black hair and eyes, wasn't he? In the freshman zoology class." "Yes. Well, he took me home from a party. And Bud, well—he put his arm around me, and—maybe you don't know it professor, but there's a big difference in girls, too. Now some girls are naturally good. Prudence Is, and so's Lark. But Fairy and I—well, we've got a lot of the original Adam In us. Bud's rather nice and I let him—oh, Just a little, but It made me nervous and exdted. But I Uked i t Prudence was away, and I hated to talk to Lark that night, «o I sneaked In Fairy's room and asked If I might sleep with her. She said I could, and told me to turn on the light, it wouldn't disturb her. But I was so hot I didn't want any tight, so I undressed as fast as I could and crept in. Somehow, from the way I snuggled up to Fairy, she caught on. I was out of breath, realty I was ashamed of myself, but I wasn't Just sure then whether rd ever let htm put hla arm around me again or not But fairy turned over, and began to talk. "She said that once, when she was fifteen, one of the boys at ahrjnlnater And she didn't It a bit But father was potting la the bara, and he out yaet ta time to see it; it After ike boys had sad took Fairy far a BtHe talk, Jaat the two of than atone, He eatd 6aat ta all the The •tarr family It modi store by Jerry Junior, to be, but tsfl an her a in the world made a man so proud, and glad and grateful, as to know his wife was all his own, and that even her lips had been reserved for him like a sacred treasure that no one else could share. He said it would take the meanest man on earth, and father thinks there aren't many as mean as that, to go back on a woman like that. Fairy said ahe burst out crying because her husband wouldn't ever be able to feel that way when he kissed her. But father said since she was so young and innocent, and it being the first time, it wouldn't really count Fairy swore off that minute—never again! Of course, when I knew how father felt about mother. I wanted my husband to have as much pleasure in me as father did in her, and Fairy and I made a solemn resolve that we would never, even 'hold hands,' and that's very simple, until we got crazy enough about a man to think we'd like to marry him if we got a chance. And I never have since then, not once," "Carol." he said in a low voice, "I wish I had known it. I wouldn't have kissed you for anything. God knows I wouldn't. I—I think I am man enough not to have done it anyhow If I had only thought a minute, but God knows I wouldn't have done it if I had known about this. You don't know how—contemptible— t feel." "Oh, that's all right," she said comfortingly, her eyes glowing. "Thafs nil right. We just meant beaux, you know. We didn't include uncles,"and fathers, and old schoolteachers, and things like that. You don't count. That isn't breaking my pledge." The professor smiled, but he remembered the quivering lips, and the relaxing of the lithe body, and the forced laughter, and was not deceived. "You're such a strange girl,'Carol. You're so honest, usually, so kindhearted, so generous. But you always seem trying to make, yourself look bad, not physically, that Isn't what I mean.'' Carol smiled, and her loving fingers caressed her soft cheek. "But you try to make folks think you are vain and selfish, when you are not. Why do you do It? Everyone knows what you really are. All over Mount Mark they say you are the best little kid in town." "They do!" she said indignantly. "Well, they'd better not. Here I've spent years building up my reputation to suit myself, and then they go and shatter it like that. They'd better leave me alone." "But what's the object?" "Why, now. p'fessor," she said, carefully choosing her words, "you know, It's a pretty hard job living up to a good reputation. Look at Prudence and Fairy and Lark. Everyone just naturally expects .them, to be angelically and dishearteningly good. And If they aren't, folks talk. But take me now. No one expects anything of me, and if once in a while I do happen to turn out all right by accident, It's a sort of joyful surprise to the whole community. It's lots more fun surprising folks by being better than they expect, than shocking them by turning out worse than they think you will." "But it doesn't do you any good," he assured her. "You can't fool them. Mount Mark knows its Carol." "You're not going?" she said, as he released her hand and straightened the collar of his coat. "Yes, your father will chase me off If I don't go now. How about the letters, Carol? Think you can manage a little oftener?" *Td love to. It's so Inspiring to get a letter from a flve-thousand-dollars-ayear scientist; I mean, a was-once. Do my letters sound all right?

Thank you for coming out, and for telling me the things you have. You have done me good. You are a breath of fresh, sweet air." She moved her fingers slightly in his hand, and he looked down at them. Then he lifted fhem and looked again, admiring the slender fingers and the pink nails. "Doul look,- she entreated. "They're teaching me things.

Lark drew away from the encircling arm with as much dignity as could be expressed in the dark and in bed, and sent out a series ef deep breaths, as if to Indicate that snores were close at hand. Carol laughed to herself for a while, until Lark really slept then she buried her head in the pillow and her throat swelled with sobs that were heavy but soundless. The next morning was Lark's turn for making the bed. And when she shook up Carol's pillow she found it very damp. "Why, the little goose," she said to herself, smiling, "she laughed until she cried, all by herself. And then ahe turned the pillow over, thinking I wouldn't see it. The little goose! And what on earth was she laughing at?" . • HOW THIS NERVOUS WOMAN 60TJELL ToU by Hcrtelf. Her Sin, ccrity Should Con* •mce Others. CHAPTER IX. Jerry Junior. For some time the twins Ignored the atmosphere of solemn mystery whlc^ pervaded their once so cheerful homo. But when It finally reached the ltm*.t of their endurance they marched in upon their aunt and Fairy with an admirable admixture of dignity and Indignation in their attitude. "Who's haunted?" inquired Carol abruptly. "Where's the criminal?" demanded Lark. "Yes, little twins, talk English and maybe you'll learn something." "Then, in common vernacular, though it is really beneath us, what's up?" Fairy turned Innocently inquiring eyes toward the ceiling. "What, Indeed?" "Oh, don't try to be dramatic, Fairy," counseled Lark. "You're too fat for a star-Starr." The twins beamed at each other approvingly at this, and Fairy smiled. But Carol returned promptly to the charge. ,rAre Jerry and Prudence having domestic difficulties? There's something going on, and we want to know. Father looks like a fallen Samson, and—" "A fallen Samson, Carol! Mercy! where did you get it?"

Slowly then Aunt Grace drew one hand from beneath her apron and showed to the eagerly watching twins a tiny, hand-embroidered dress. They stared at it, fascinated, half frightened, and then looked into the serious faces of their aunt and sister. "I—I don't believe it," whispered Carol. "She's not old enough." Aunt Grace smiled. "She's older than mother was," said Fairy. Lark took the little dress and examined it critically. "The neck's too small," she announced critically. "Nothing could wear that." "We're using this for a pattern." said Fairy, lifting a yellowed, muchworn garment from the sewing basket. "I were this, and so did you and so did Connie—my lovely child.* Carol rubbed her hand about her throat in a puzzled way. **I can't seem to realize that we ever grew out of that," she said slowly. "Is Prudence all right r "Yes, Just fine." The twins looked at each other bashfully. Then, T i l bet thereTl be no living with Jerry after this," said Lark. "Oh, papa," lisped Carol, in a highpitched voice supposed to represent the tone of a tittle child. They both giggled, and blinked hard to crowd back the tears that wouldn't stay choked down.

AN ATTACK Of GRIP USUALLY LEAVES KIDNEYS IN WEAKENED CONDITIO* Doctor* in all part* of the country have been kept bu*y with the epidemic of grip which hat viaited BO many homes. The symptoms of grip this year are often very distressing and leave the system in a rundown condition, particularly the kidneys which seem to suffer most, as almost every victim complains of lame back and urinary troubles which should not be neglecttd, as these danger signals often lead to dangerous kidney troubles. Druggists report a large sale on Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Boot which so many people amy soon heals aad strengthens the kidneys after an attack of grip.

It is not generally known that if a spray of gladiolus is cut when the first flower appears, or rather opens, and placed in water it will bloom just as well as if on the stalk. Popples are short lived after being cut, and therefore are unsatisfactory for decoration. However, if every bloom is cut in the evening and thrown away, those flowers that open next morning will last two or three days if they are plunged in water up to their necks for an hour or two. After a thorough soaking they can be used in vases, and their beauty will charm for two or three days. The sweet pea, like every flower that blows, demands a daily stripping of every bloom. Producing seeds Is done at the expense of blooms, however, flowers should be cut with sharp shears, never torn from the plant Never cut flowers of the "wax plant" unless you wish no further blooms. Its flowers are produced in exactly the same "eye" each time, and if the eye is removed no more flowers will develop. Weak, liquid manure Is just the stimulant most flowers need when they bloom. Do not stint them in this respect. Another aid to profusion of flowers is plenty of water. The dust mulch In time of drought is beneficial when water is scarce. No matter what the calendar says, do not plant yonr tube-roses out of doors until the ground is warm, and spring sets In in earnest One way to give the children an Interest In the farm and its work is to allow each a garden plot Let them grow whatever they wish and use It as they please. Liquid manure is made by sawing a barrel in two, or using a tub with a spigot near the bottom. Punch holes In an old lard can through the bottom and around its sides near the bottom, and 1111 with fresh manure. Place tt on the tab, with boards laid across the rob and fill the can with water. Harden plants grown uader cover by exposing them to the son and air and outdoor atmosphere. Bxnoge then out a short time at first and increase the expoeare antil they are hardy. However, they most not be left la tho weather daring high or coM winds, or when frost, snow or Ice are in the air. Match sweet-peas by sowing seeds of any of the low-growing annoais along the pen trenches, and thereby extend their Meemtog season. On s a t try to grow towers or tablet too thickly on the fMHT WSSCT PESTS ALWAYS irutu it «*«•+ ning place two or three ounces of quassia chips (you can buy them from the druggist) In a pail, and fill with boiling water two or three gallons, according to size of pail. Let stand until next morning, then apply the liquid to the plant with a garden syringe, getting the tea on all sides of the fqliage and the stems. If the tea Is applied hand-hot It will be more effective. A strong soap suds made of any good white soap, if applied quite warm, is discouraging to the bug population, and is especially "good" for the green louse or aphis. Red spider affects the outdoor as well as the indoor plants in droughty weather, and are usually found on the underside of the foliage, causing the leaves to turn brown and to curl at the edges. If badly affected, strip the leaves from the plants and burn them. Rose plants will not be hurt by this method, but some plants cannot stand being deleaved, and must be sponged with soap suds leaf by leaf, hand-hot. Asters suffer from root-lice, which Invariably kill them in a^short time, If undisturbed. These lice also attack chrysanthemums, clematis and like plants. Where these pests are at worlr there will be ants also. DO NOT OMIT THE SHRUBS By E. VAN BENTHUYSEN. One corner of my garden shaded from the hot sun is devoted to herbs. If the readers of this have not a herb bed this spring is a good time to plant one. I am going to add several herbs to mine this year and I give below a list of those mose useful. In some cases It is best to buy the plants, and such I note: Three sage plants. Three Clumps chives. Two lavendar plants. Six roots of mine. One package of summer savory. One package thyme. One package wormwood. (The leaves crushed and alcohol poured on them make an excellent diniment.) One package winter savory. \ Two plants of tarragon.

THE FARM LABOR PROBLEM The problem of labor for our farms is looming up as the one great question and in many localities is becoming really serious. Even before we were in war it was a matter of concern. Now the matter can no longer be set aside. There is no doubt that unless steps are taken, before the entire war draft is ran out, to recruit the ranks of the farm laborer, it will be a physical impossibility for our farms to meet the demands that will be made upon them another season. Many localities report that even now the scarcity of farm labor is seriously crippling operations, and when the draft is completed the situation will be even more serious. It ia hoped that the amended regulations will tend to relieve the situation. From the present outlook, it would seem the part of wisdom that the draft apply to farm labor equally with the army. It wouU be hard to tell which is the moat important just at this time. Certain it is that without the farmer our armies will be impotent HOW ESKIMOS HUNT THE SEAL Pursuers of Rich-Furred Animals Sneak Up*Close Enough to 8hoot Arrow Into Their Head. Today the Eskimo method of banting seals Is a primitive calling improved to a fine art, writes a naturalist. When a seal Is discovered the direction of the wind is at once noted. Then the hunter, keeping himself to the leeward of the seal, walks up to within about a quarter of a mile of it. Beyond this he begins to crouch and advances only when the seal's head la down. Now, as the seal is one of the most wide-awake of animals and has the habit of throwing up Its head quickly every few seconds to guard against danger, it follows that the Eskimo has to be extremely alert If he would get his seal. When the seal's head iSxdown upon the Ice Its eyes are shot, and It Is said that in these brief Intervals It takes its sleep. The hunter, by carefully watching the seal's movements, is able without much difficulty to get within about 200 yards of It, but at closer quarters he Is obliged to employ other tactics. He lies down at full length on the Ice. Then the real sport begins. When the seal's head Is down the hunter, who keeps a keen eye on his prey, is able to approach still nearer by dragging himself forward on his elbows. This maneuvering continues for some time, until the distance between man and beast has been reduced to a few yards. When near enough to make a sure shot, the Eskimo takes his bow and arrow from his side and sends a swift shaft through the head of its outwitted companion.

FLOCK TO HER WITH GIFTS Woman In Atlanta Used Slippers as a Baft for Men Friends and Got Many Presents In Return. There was a sharp young lady In Atlanta, who had 40 or more admirers. For each of these she bought slippers, all of the same pattern, which she had an aged seamstress make up, says the Augusta News. Meanwhile she kept a pair for herself in the parlor, where she could have them on hand whenever oue of her lovers called. Of course, each young man asked for whom she was making such pretty slippers. She would reply, with a bewitching smile and half a wink: "Oh, they're for a man friend of mine." Then each infatuated youth went off to invest in a gift. Some bought clothes. Some bought jewelry. One bought furniture. In return, the girl bestowed upon each of them a pair of slippers, worked by the seamstress and footed by a Dutch shoemaker, at an average cost of $2.65 a pair. The presents from her admirers averaged $45 per man. The pair the girl worked herself she presented to a young dry goods clerk in Augusta, to whom she was secretly married. She afterward sold her presents and had enough to start housekeeping. CATARRH MEDICINE. FRANK J. CHENEY. Sworn before me and subscribed in my presence on this 6th day of December A. D. 1886. ' A. W.

The Paris correpondent of the Pall Mall Gasette recently reported a curious suit that should interest the readers of Flaubert's romance of Carthage. The action was broaght^by the niece of Gustave Flaubert against the adapters of "Salamrabo" for the cinema. Flaubert, it will be remembered, finishes his novel with the mobbing and death of Mathos before the eyes of his mistress, who seems entirely Indifferent to his fate. This would not do for the film. The adapters not only save the general's life, but ring down the curtain with, the marriage of the lovers, who "live happily together ever after," and have a multitude of children to grace their old age. This platonic and commonplace ending to A '*mnsterpiece" horrified the dilettantes, who made so much fuss nbout the caricaturing of the story that Flaubert.'^ literary executor felt compelled to take the matter up, and has appealed to the courts for redress. —Kansas City Star. s ••After suffering many months from kidney trouble," writes W.

The Highlander made brogans out of untanned deer hide, and the southern nations wore cloth sandals and slippers.

MAKING A MAN OF THE BOY Schoolmaster Has the Great Task in Hand, and on Him Depends the Final Important Outcome. The sum of all admonitions is that the schoolboy must pay attention. That is precisely what hu is doing, writes S. M. Crothers, in die Atlantic. He 1« paying attention to a variety of things that escape the aduit mind. As he wriggles on the bench in the schoolroom he pays attention to all that is going on. He attends to. what is going on out-of-doors; he sees the weak points of his fellow pupils against whom he Is planning punitive expeditions ; and he Is delightfully conscious of the idiosyncrasies of the teacher. Moreover, he is a youthful artist and his sketches from life give acute Joy to his contemporaries when they are furtively passed around. But the schoolmaster says sternly: "My boy, you must learn to pay attention ; that is to say, you must not pay attention to so many things, but you must pay attention to one thing, namely the second declension." Now the second declension is the least interesting thing in the room, but unless he confines his attention to it he will never learn it. Education demands narrowing of attention in the interest of efficiency. A man may, by dint of application to a particular subject, become a successful merchant or real estate man or chemist or overseer of the poor. But he cannot be all these things at the same time. He must make his choice. Having in the presence of witnesses taken himself for better or for worse, he must, forsaking all others, cleave to that alone. The consequence is that by the time he is forty he has become one kind of a man and is able to do one kind of work. Glasgow HAS CHURCH BUILT ON PIER llfrancombe, England, Possesses Historlc Edifice, Where the Sailors Offered Prayer Before Going to Sea. llfrancombe, England, has a church on a pier, and is the only seaside place in the world th:it has such a distinction. Indeed, llfrancombe would not possess the honor were it not for the fnct that Lnnterin Hill forms a part of the pi^r. Those who ar^ue about the matter are always silenced by the plea that you have to go on the the pier in order to enter the church, observes a writer. The curious old building to be seen on the top of the hill has had many strange adventures. It Is dedicated to St. Nicholas, the patron saint of seafaring folk, and In that connection it Is interesting to learn that at one time the old church was used as a lighthouse. In bygone days the sailors used to trudge up the hill to pray before going to sea, and many were the regrets when the little edifice ceased to hold its services. It Is sow used by the pier authorities for storing purposes* but the day may come when It will be restored, and form one of many attractive "sights" llfrancombe already possesses.

Tin cops for taneoos an Many references have been made by writers on Russia to the ikons which are found In such profusion in all parts of the country, and which are a distinguishing feature of Russian national life, notes a correspondent. These ikons are used for devotional purposes, and are not images as some suppose, but pictures of the Savior, the Virgin Mary and the Saints. In these pictures all but the faces and hands are covered with metal-gold or silver or gilt—and the gorgeous ornamentation of the setting fixes the price of the ikon. Ikons are generally painted by pos-.j tulants for the religious life, who use I as their guide a twelfth century manu- I script written by Dlonyslus, the famous prior of Mount Athos.

Minister Sulzer, of Switzerland, last Friday reached an agreement with the state department whereby Swiss already drafted, and in some Instances actually serving in the American army, shall be discharged if they ctesare upon proof of their Swiss citizenship. $imllar arrnagements may be made by ther neutral representatives and the war department has signified Its willingness to co-operate in securing the quick discharge of drafted aliens entitled to release. In the case of Switzerland, a treaty dating 1850, was the governing point in the state department decision, although the treaty comes In conflict with the draft law so far as first papers declarants are concerned. Regarding Holland, the principle is that of reciprocity, Americans in Hoiland not'being subject to service In the Dutch army. The war department's attitude is that the burden of finding the aliens who have been drafted Is on the ministers. The draft law, according to army Interpretation, gives no alternative and being of subsequent passage to the Swiss treaty the law compels the registration of aliens. The provost marshal general shows that there are 4,929 Swiss citizens registered under the draft law, of whom 1,758 have been called for examination, and 224 accepted for military service.

WHOLE COUNTRY STORM-SWEPT Coldest Weather in Nineteen Years Hits U. S. Washington—The coldest weather experienced in the United States since 1899 Saturday night extended from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic coast and from the lakes to the gulf. Zero temperatures were registered almost as far south as Birmingham, Ala., while in North Dakota the thermometer went to 32 degrees below zero. It was only 12 degrees higher in many parts of the middle west. The cold wave was accompanied by a high wind in many sections, while in the west there was heavy snow, which blocked railroad traffic in several states on both sides of the Mississippi river. Inability of the railroads to deliver shipments of coal urgently needed in many sections, particularly in Ohio and Michigan, increased greatly the suffering caused by the storm.

CHICAGO SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED Boy Pupils Help to Dig Big City Out of Drifts. Chicago—Railroads Saturday abandoned their efforts to run trains in or out of Chicago, and with street cleaning gangs called off, stores and factories closed, the city was not only isolated from the rest of the country but paralyzed within by the unprecedented blizzard. Edward Davis, president of the board of education, ordered the schools closed for the week not only because it was impossible for the pupils to attend but to add the 60,000 boy pupils to the force of snow shovelers were obliged to dig Chicago out of the drifts. Camp Puston, Kansas—Capt Lewifc Whistler, of the 354th infantry, became his own executioner last Saturday after suspicion had been directed at him as the probable slayer of four men who were hacked to death with a hatchet in the bank at the national army camp here Friday night. He shot himself twice in the head with an army revolver. Whistler was identified by the sole survivor of the tragedy, Kearney Wornall. The men In the bank were killed some time after 8:30 o'clock Friday night. Kearney Wornall, cashier of the bank, terribly battered and cut by the assailant, Btumbled from the bank covered with blood and fell at the feet of a passing sentry. He declared that a man in a captain's uniform had killed four men in the bank and had fled. Within ten minutes the military police and Capt. J. C. Smallwood, provost officer, had taken charge of the situation. Guards were thrown about the camp and cities within a radius of 100 miles were notified. Dogs were placed on the trail Footprints of the assailant were found in the bank. Because of Wornall's declaration that a man In a captain's uniform had done the killing, all captains at the post were ordered to report to headquarters and have their fingerprints taken. Whistler did not appear. His body was found in his room in the officers' barracks. Bloody towels were nearby. There were Bplotches of blood on the wash stand. Whistler lay on the opposite side of the room. He had obtained two hatchets from the supply department the previous day. The men killed were: C.

It was estimated that 150 patients were in the tents, but early reports from the camp said none of the patients were injured. The collapse of the corral of the One Hundred and Twenty-second infantry caused the only death, reported that of a private.

A well advised commercial authority gives it as hi,s opinion, "as a slow descent may be counted on in the prices for grain when the war ends— it may take several years to restore* the world's stock of foodstuffs to normal— there is good ground for confl« dence in the outlook for rapid development in agriculture." If this be correct, it follows that the profession of farming will materially Increase Its ranks In the next few years. Today, the price of wheat is set by the United States government at $2J» per bushel, and in Canada the price has been set at $2.21. This, of courser is less freight and handling charges which brings the average to the farmers at about $2.00 per bushel. This price will pay so long as Land, material and labor can be secured at reasonable prices. It remains for the would-be producer to ascertain where be can secure these at prices that will make the production of grain profitable. He will estimate what price he can afford to pay for land that will giver him a yield of wheat which when sold at $2.00 per bushel, will return him a fair profij. Local and social conditions will also enter Into the consideration. Finding what he wants he would be wise to make his purchase now. Lund prices in some portions of the country are low, certainly as low as they will ever be. City property and town property will fluctuate, but farm property will hold its own. The price of grain is as low as It will be for some years. Therefore it would be well to look about, and find what can be done. There are doubtless many opportunities in the United States, especially In the Western States, to purchase good agricultural lands, that will produce well, at reasonable prices. If the would-be buyer has the time to Investigate, and that is needed, for these lands do not exist in any considerable area, he would be well repaid. Not only will his land certainly Increase in value—the unearned increment would be an asset—while under cultivation he can find nothing that will give better results. He will at the same time be performing a patriotic net, a needful act, one that would saeet with the facet controller's plea to turn! the deeVdtt^ef^5 utfltteo wheo>T*$erted by the controller. addition to the vacant lands in the United States which should be brought under cultivation, Western Canada offers today the greatest area of Just the land that Is required, and at low prices—prices that cannot last long. Even now land prices are increasing, as their value is dally becoming more apparent, and their location desirable. As to the intrinsic value of land In Western Canada, hundreds of concrete cases could be cited, which go to prove that at fifty and sixty dollars per acre—figures that have recently been paid for improved farms — the crops grown on them gave a profit of from twenty to thirty per> cent and even higher, on such an Investment. One instance, is that of a young Englishman, unaccustomed to farming before he took his seat on the sulky plow with which he does most of his work, after allowing himself $1,000 for his own wages last year, ma*de a profit of $2,200 on a $20,000 investment His total sales amounted to $6,700 and his expense, which included the $1,000 wages for himself, was $8,500.

HOW TO CONSTRUCT RESERVOIRS Reservoirs built in the beds of streams or other depressions are used mainly for irrigation purposes. The dam may be of earth, loose rock, timber, concrete, or masonry, or combinations of two or more of these. However, since on the large majority of sites earth is the most abundant and cheapest material available, it has been used chiefly. The percentage of failure of dams of this type has been large. The main causes have been (1) faulty and inadequate wasteways, (2) porous earthen embankments not properly compacted, and (8) Insecure foundations. Examination for Foundation. When the location for the dam has been decided upon a careful examination of the foundation should be made. Test pits should be sunk at intervals across the stream bed or depression, and if rock or other impervious material Is found near the surface, the more porous top covering should be removed and foundation laid on the Impervious substratum. In any event, all shrubbery, sod, and decayed vegetable matter should bo cleared away before the dam is begun. In the better class of such dams a narrow trench most part in the beds of streams and in the direct line of flood flow, are subjected at times to high water which may carry floating driftwood or other debris. The overflow dam is designed to withstand such severe tests, but the dam considered here Is not of this type. It is intended only to impound water to a certain safe height and to By-pass all surplus waters through the wasteway. This throws a heavy burden upon this structure In times of flood, and it should be of such strength and capacity as to perform Its part without danger to the dam. In making provision for a wasteway it should be borne in mind that a flood may occur when the reservoir Is full, so that the entire flow of the stream must pass through the wasteway. Consideration also should be given to obstructions to the flow of water caused by driftwood and clogging by fish screens. Such features of this type of reservoir as Inlet and outlet pipes, slope protection and the like have been discussed in Farmers' Bulletin No. 828. Commonly Used Method. In the early days of mining in California, someone evolved the Idea of washing down the gold-bearing sand / / ' *T~~ 1» X t , v \ — » t i ' — . • w * M M M M M /7) / J?/ \\ — e:o' 1\ V-Shaped Flume Used in Sluicing. is dug beneath the center of the embankment down to bedrock or other good material and a wall of concrete, known as a rim core wall, is built therein. This wall projects above the surface and serves ¾ purpose similar to a tongue In grooved-and-tongued lumber joints. A clay puddle may be substituted where a concrete core wall around the rim would prove too expensive. In this case a much wider trench should be dug, filled with the best material available, and carefully puddled and rammed. Packing Materials. In building a reservoir embankment est earth many farmers and not a few srs fail to understand the differ- /between an embankment capable of withstanding a load such as Is placed upon It by the passage of a locomotive and one compact and stable enough to. hold water. In highway and railroad fills little, If any, attention Is paid to packing materials, but tn the case pf earth fills to retain water, packing, is necessary. Experience has shown that one of the best ways to pack ordinary dirt which does not con- Rectangular Flume. tain too much clay Is to dump it into water and let nature do the packing. When this method Is not feasible the earth should be placed on the embankment In thin layers and each layer moistened and rolled or otherwise compacted. In some cases the earth can be moistened before it it removed from its natunal site. Cause of Failure. As has been stated, a frequent cause of failure of such dams is faulty wasteways. The dams being built for the MANURE TO INCREASE CROPS by means of powerful streams of water directed against the banks and hillsides. This practice has been Improved and extended and now is a commonly used method of building earthen embankments and of loosening and transferring earthy material for other purposes. In making use of this method an ample supply of water is necessary. What is called the "cutting stream" Is under high pressure from 60 to 100 pounds per square Inch. The pressure may be obtained by gravity fall or by pumping, and the water is conveyed to the material to be excavated In a pressure pipe of suitable diameter. The end of the pressure pipe terminates in a giant from which a stream is directed against the bank of dirt. A large stream of water, but under little or no pressure, then is added to the former stream to carry the material loosened by the giant into a flume or pipe In which it is transported to the dam. Figs. 1 and 2 show two forms of wooden flume used for this purpose. The grade on which they are laid should be as steep as practicable, and never less than about five per cent. Under favorable conditions material can be placed In a dam by this process at a lower cost per cubic yard than by the use of teams and scrapers or teams and wagons. Such embankments are also more compact and water-tight than those built by ordinary methods. Labeled Seeds.

THERMOMETER HITS 20 BELOW Wind Reached Velocity of 60 Miles An Hour—People Snow Bound in Home*—Many Suffer. Lansing—The blizzard which struck the state last Saturday is said to have been the worst Michigan ever experienced. Traffic was completely demoralized, railroad and interurban lines, with very few exceptions, abandoned all attempts to operate. The few that did try to get through were hours late. In a number of cases, on main lines, trains became stalled in the mountains of snow and could not even report their location to the railroad offices. The temperature, which on Friday night was about 25 above, dropped over 40 degrees before Saturday noon, a number of towns and cities reporting 15 and 20 below zero. The wind at times attained a velocity of over 60 miles an hour Millions of people were snow bound in their own homes and in many cases lack of fuel caused intense suffering. The larger cities were also threatened by a milk shortage owing to the non-arrival of milk trains. Several Deaths Reported. Seven people in the state were killed during the storm. Conductor T. C. Hagen and Brakeman Patrick Downey, both of Detroit, members of a Michigan Central freight crew stalled near Grass Lake, just east of Jackson, were struck and killed by a passenger train early Saturday morning during the blizzard. The bodies were not found until late Saturday after several hours' search, as they were supposed to have gone to a farm house to get warm. Albion made the earliest report of a death from the storm. James Caulkins, 51 years old, telegraph operator of exhaustion just after reaching his post for the day's work. Grand Rapids had one woman killed by a train. Mrs. Mary Jankowski, 34 years old, was hauling coal on a sled. Owing to the storm she did not hear the shouts of her son Henry, 8 years old, who tried to warn her of the approach of a Kalamazoo interurban which struck and killed her. A fire in the Wright hotel at Saginaw was responsible for the other three deaths. Owing to the storm the department could not control it. The known victims ware: J. E.

There Is something better than this league to enforce peuce; something that will preserve the natural tendencies to Intellectual growth In the race, without requiring military aggressiveness as a national prerogative, writes Courtenay De Kalb, In the Atlantic. That Is to Introduce the) principle of natural trade by takta* steps to eliminate the fostering device* on which national* aggrandizement defends. It might not be possible to reach every scheme for artificial tradedevelopment which will lift Its head, but the tariff can be stripped off, and the granting of ship-subsidies and bounties, and all the cruder forms of industrial parentalism. This would at least go far toward the organization -^ of the sisterhood of nations on the true competitive basis of relative inherent skill, knowledge, and ability. In that direction lies the open road to peace and progress. The world may not delude itself; It must take that highway, or accept the principle of the trade war which goes hand In hand with Mars. T CAR DROPS INTO ICY RIVER Eleven People Hurt When Interurban Crashes Through Bridge. Toledo, O.—Eleven persons were lerlously injured Saturday when a Lima interurban car left the track, crashed through the Main street bridge over the Ottawa river, and plunged 12 feet to the river. The front of the car broke through the river ice and the car stuck there with the rear end straight up in the air. Motorman Waismith blamed the accident on a freight car crew which went over the track a short time before. He says the freight crew left the freight switch, leading to the freight house, open which caused the passenger car to leave the track. Clearly a Good Idea. "Charley," said young Mrs. Stitt, "I hear tliat some of the politicians want to efface party lines." "I believe they do, my dear, but why do you mention it?" "Well, I hope they do.

Country 8hould Fight for Decisive Victory, Says Colonel. New York—America must accept no peace except "the peace of overwhelming victory," Theodore Roosevelt said in an address at a dinner of the Ohio society of New York. Expediting of war preparations was urged by the speakers, who declared that to "refuse to see and to point out" the country's failure to this respect "is both silly and unpatriotic.'* Colonel Roosevelt said America would be wise to make Its ultimate aim "such military and industrial prepared* nets as shall save as from ever again being caught in such shape as to be helpless to protect ourselves." la this connection, he reiterated his advocacy of vnireraat military training. v ThereV "Body To Instant Postum and " s u p " to its fSjajsjHL Try a cup anil notice the clWmmg flavor and mbajan* tial character of !*"t table »_•• t* a true <^*js*ris andl oaagKtii its "Tta&tltaW* '-ii ^, '*.?£ /:< ^ % !

Hannibal Qoodwln, United Stats* Supreme Court Holds, Was ONglrtator of Photographlo Feature. Watching for three hours the unreeling of a stupendous film, one not only marvels where this art will end, but also wonders where It began, says a writer. It may almost be said to have begun In the pulpit, for although the Idea was In the old toy called the "wheel of life,** yet without the photographic film the cinematograph would have been Impossible, and that was, according to the judgment of the United States Supreme court, the Invention of Rev. Hannibal Goodwin. Mr. Goodwin was pastor of the Episcopal church In Newark, N. J., and was a great lover of children, although he had none of his own. He was always scheming for their enjoyment, and It was in order to make a picture machine to amuse his Sunday school that he turned his attention to photographic films, the secret of which he discovered In the early eighties of the last century. He made the films in the old rectory, and sometimes he went directly from the pulpit to the laboratory In his vestments. He resigned his pastorate In 1888, but It was not for ten years later that he obtained his patent. He was about to put his films on the market when he met with an accidental death in 1900. Mr. Goodwin got nothing out of an invention which has made tens of millions. <*m »VVrI*lit*f£iiapeI Chats The Red Cross met with the Watters sisters last Friday.

Leach, assistant State Fuel Administrator of Ohio. "lithe Lusitania were now floating the seas, the coal used annually in the manufacture of beer in this country wool* furnish fuel for 72ft round trips far the giant ship and transport 28,595,- 000* tone of supplies to the allies. "Coal used for the manufacture of beer in Ohio alone would furnish more than 60 round trips and carry nearly 2,000,000 tons of supplies a year to the allies. "It requires ISO,000 cars, 3,000 trains a day, to move the raw materials to the breweries. "We have heard a great deal about the grain in the beer and about the sugar in the beer, but we have heard little about the coal in beer. Coal is one of the principal ingredients. It takes almost a pound of coal to produce a pint of beer." A Romping Heaven.

The public always tries to make Its favorites respectable, those It truly loves. It longs to make them more like Itself. It delights to read of happy family life among its beloved artists, and of the pure summers of the movie star who lives with her mother and has a garden, observes the New Republic. The course of Mary Anderson comforted and justified thousands of housewives for their mild domesticities and their distrust of the stage. Even the public's favorite romancer lived with his wife three years before he married her, and he did not even suffer from a wasting illness; but they will not have it so, and are fast turning him Into a pitiful, cheery saint and martyr aa flat and sweet aa their own ideals, "the favorite short story writer embesaled and went to the penitentiary and loved poker, but they want to make him an over* flowing human heart wandering about taking snap-shots.

Taxation la Rasnc During a certain period tfio republic of Borne did not pay tataa, The third Macedonian war resulted In victory for the Romani aid brought to aa and the ancient kingdom of Macedonia la l t t B. 0.. In describing the triumph accorded the victorious Roman general It is related that the celebration continued for three days. On the first day £90 wagons carried the statutes and paintings which had been plundered from Macedonian cities. On the next day there passed many wagons, carrying Macedonian standards and armor, followed by &.000 men loaded with 'the silver money and silver plate [which had been secured In the booty. : On the third day came a procession of men carrying gold spoil, followed by the conqueror in a splendid chariot Rome so filled her coffers with treasure by this plunder that the republic never thereafter taxed her citizens. Thus, while the statement is historically true, the fact that there was no taxation In the ancient Roman republic for a period of several years is not at all creditable to the Romans, for the condition was the result of plunder instead of the economical administration of public affairs. mm n 0 mm* mmmmmmmmmmm HERE AND THERE M*MMa)sja*a»a«sjsM At a meeting of the board of directors of the Livingston County Fair Association, held Jan, 4, August 27, 28, 29 and 30 were fixed as the dates for the next fair and the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, L.

Prospects are thought to be good for the re-opening of some of the old mines in Sandstone and Spring Arbor townships. These have not been in operation in several years, being closed] because of the fact that coal from the state of Ohio could be shipped here and sold cheaper than the home product Competent engineers have, after looking into the matter thoroughly, decided that at the present prices of coal the old mines could be operated and |the output used for f actorias and large consumers reqniring steam coal only. For domestic use it is not so good as the coal shipped from the southern states. —Springport Signal.

Every contention raised against the selective draft was swept aside by the supreme court Monday in a unanimous opinion delivered by Chief Justice White, upholding the law as constitutional.

The largest snakes known are found In Brazil, and one would have to go far into the Interior to find them. They are found in the immense valley of the Amazon river and its tributaries, observes a naturalist. This extensive basin, being low ground, consists partly of swamps and forest jungle, Into which white men seldom penetrate. The forest and vegetation are so dense that the sun cannot get through to the ground, and being right under the equator, the continual, oppressive, moist heat makes this Jungle and swamps the ideal breeding place snakes known in Brazil, not 10 per cent are venomous, and of these very few of the big ones.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thur sday, Dec. 27, 1917 NiM AIRPLANE ROUTE TO SWEDEN ^Treileborg and Sasanitx to Be the Termini of the Proposed Line Connecting With Germany. The following bulletin on Treileborg and Sassnitz, the termini of the proposed Swedish-German airplane roots, fwhlch assumes special significance in the light of recent developments In .the diplomatic relations between Germany and Sweden, has been Issued by National Geographic society. Between Treileborg, the most southerly town in '.he Kingdom of Sweden, und Sassnitz, a summer resort on the northeastern shore of the German island of Rugen, express steamers in times of peace make regular trip* across this arm of the Baltic in four hours. This is the chief water link in the 24-hour express service between Stockholm and Berlin. Neither 'town would be of any importance were it not for the fact that they are the termini of this steamer service. Treileborg is a quaint old town of some 10,000 inhabitants, lying 20 miles southeast of Maimo, capital of Skane, teh most populous province in all Sweden. It is only 16 miles from Malmo to the Danish capital, Copenhagen. Sassnitz is one of several popular seaside resorts on the Island of Rugen, the largest insular possession of Germany, having an area about equal to GET $ 8 0 0 A YEAR?

HAD SECRET WIRELESS PLANT Expose of Kaiser's Double Dealing Considered Likely to Result in Argentine Declaring W a r . Washington—Declaration of war against Germany by Argentina was considered almost certain in Latin-American diplomatic circles as the result of new evidence of German trickery, disclosed simultaneously in Washington and Buenos Aires. Impetus was given the diplomatic situation by the publication of another series of telegrams between the notorious Count Luxburg, of Spurlos Versenkt fame, and Berlin foreign office. An indication of the means used by Count Lu'cburg to evade detection in communicating with his government is found in one dispatch where reference is made to his fear that the "secret wire" had been discovered, Another refers to an interruption of his wire to Mexico. A telegram dated July 20 last announcd the completion of a "receiving plant" and asked for the wave length of the great wireless station at Nauen. Luxburg, former German charge in Buenos Aires, in a message dated August 1, last, informed his foreign office that President Irigoyen of Argentina had at last made up his mind to negotiate a secret agreement with Chile and Bolivia for protection against North America. Another telegram intimated an attempt would be made to include Peru, the plan was to be perfected, according to the Luxburg communication of August 1, "before the conference idea is taken up again." "The conference idea" is assumed to be the proposed Latin-American neutrality conference advocated by President Carranza and widely discussed in South America. The secret agreement referred to may explain recent South American reports of President Irigoyen's proposals for a league of South American nations. The messages, 40 in number, were made public by the state department through an agreement with the Argentine government and were accompanied by a statement from Foreign Min ister Puerreydon, in which he says the "inaccuracies" of the German charge's report are so surprising that no epithet will fit them." The messages were sent to Argentine- soon after the state department gave out the first scries in which L'lxburg advised his government to sink Argentine ships without trace, but heretofore demands for their publication have been in vain. The first series were transmitted through the Swedish legation at Buenos Aires, but the means of communication used for the latest batch sent during July, August and September, was not disclosed, except that some of the first series telegrams v e r e included in ones made public last week. Most of the correspondence given cut deals directly with the negotiations then in progress over the sinking of Argentine ships by German submarines. Before the messages fell into the hands of the American government Germany virtually had settled the mattar by agreeing to pay indemnity and to treat Argentine ships according to law.

About 10,000 pairj were in the consignment, and most of these were of the largo sizes needed. However, this consignment is-only about one-half th^ amount r< quisitioncd. Hardly had the cars been shifted on to the siding at the proper warehouse before the unloading and checking began, and almost simultaneously supply wagons drove up to the building and carted away the shoes to be distributed among the men. BRITAINS WAR AIMS OUTLINED Lloyd George Demands Restoration and I n d e m n i t y . London—Premier Lloyd George last v\eek gave in the house of commons Great Britain's minimum condition for peace. Briefly it is: There can be no lasting peace unless Germany gives security that the world will be safe hereafter from German aggression, There can be no such security unless Prussian militarism is forever destroyed and unless the German govfrnment is democratized. Supposing that these two fundamental conditions were fulfilled, which they arp not, then to obtain peace the first thing Germany must do is; To restore completely all i n v a d e territories and to make full comp' ns- ation. The premier said ;he future fate of German colonic.-, should be left *o the decision of an international peace conference. "At that conference, however," he added, "the wishes, desires and inter csts of the inhabitants of the German colonies must be a dominant fac'or in the settlement of their future government." He continued: "The future trustees of the German colonies must consider the sentiment^ of the people thems- lve-—whether they may desire to return to their former mastf rs. "Mesopotamia and Arm°nia shall never be returned to Turkish rule. "The success in Palastine will affect the world's history. Jerusalem will never be restored to the Turks."

With Russia to give the movement an added impetus, the Kaiser is staging another effort to make a favorable peace before the strength of America is thrown in the balance against him. Circulation here of unofficial reports from neutral sources of the Kaiser's terms created much Interest. Briefly they are: To leave the disposition of Alsace- Lorraine to a plebiscite of inhabitants. England to pay Germany for her lost African colonies and the money to be used for the rehabilitation of Belgium, Serbia, Rumania and northern France. Russian provinces bordering the Baltic, the Black sea and Prussia to become independent under a Gorman plan. Poland to be called an independent state under Austrian suzerainty. Disarmament, freedom of the seas and commerce to be left to the peace conference.

Detroit—Discovery of three men attempting to steal coal from cars on Grand Trunk tracks at the junction with Woodland ayenue, Hamtramck. about midnight Saturday, cost John Iganiak, a railroad detective, his life. When the men found that Iganiak knew what they were doing, they open ed fire at him with revolvers. The detective was wounded five times and died in Samaritan hospital early Sunday morning. After the shooting, Iganiak crawled about 200 feet to his home, and collapsed on the doorstep. His wife immediately notified John W. Woznack, chief of police of the Grand Trunk railway, who arrived in time to take the dying man's statement just before he became unconscious. He recognized two of the men. 46 DIE IN L & N.

The wreck is said to be the worst in the history of the Louisville fc Nashville. Virtually every person aboard the accommodation, both crew and passengers, was either killed or badly Injured. None of the passengers aboard the fast train was killed, though a number were Injured, The locomotive was demolished and the heavy steel coaches making up the train were thrown from the track. INJURY BY RODENTS Well Fed Rats Breed Often and Have Very Large Litters. INJURE PRODUCE IN STORES Not Only Foodstuffs and Forage, but Textiles, Clothing and Leather Goods A r e Often R u i n e d — C u t Off Food Supply. (Pr epai e J by the L'ruled Slau-s Department at Agriculture.) The effect of tin abundance of food on the breeding of rodents should be kept in mind. Well-fed rats mature quickly, breed often, and have large litters. Poorly fed rats, on the contrary, reproduce less frequently and have smaller litters. In addition, scarcity of food makes measures for destroying the animals far more effective. Merchandise in Stores.—In all parts of the country there is a serious economic drain in the destruction by rats and mice of merchandise held for sale by dealers. Not only foodstuffs and forage, but textiles, cloihing, and leather goods are often ruined. This loss is due mainly to the faulty buildings in which the stores are kept, j si Often it would be a measure of economy to tear down the old structures and replace them by new ones. However, even the old buildings may often be repaired so as to make them praeunloaded at wharves or depots, food liable to attack by rats may be temporarily safeguarded by being placed in rut-proof cages, or pounds, constructed of wire netting. Wooden boxes containing reserve food held In depots for a considerable time or Intended for shipment by sea may be made rat-proof by light coverings of metal along the angles. This plan has long been in use to protect naval stores on ships and in warehouses. It Is based on the fact tlmt rats do not gnaw the plane surface of hard materials, but attack doors, furniture and boxes at the angles only. Packing Houses.—Packing houses and abattoirs are often sources from which rats secure subsistence, especially where meats are prepared for market in old buildings. In old-style cooling rooms with double walls of wood and sawdust insulation, always a source of annoyance because of rat infestation, the utmost vigilance is required to prevent serious loss of meat products. On the other hand, [lacking houses with modern construction and sanitary devices have no trouble from rats or mice. Garbage and Waste.—Since much of the food of rats consists of garbage 'and other waste materials, it is not enough to bar the animals from markets, granaries, warehouses and private food stores. (larbage and offal of all kinds must be so disposed of that rats eanma obtain them. In cities ;i ml towns an efficient sysi tern of garbage collection and disposal should be established by ordinances. Waste from markets, hotels, cafes and households should be collected in covered metal ree. ptneles and frequently emptied. (larbage should never be dumped in or near towns, but should CAGE TRAP WITH SPLENDID CATCH OF RATS. iically mt-proof; and foodstuffs, as flour, seeds, and meats, may always be protected in wire cages at slight expense. The public should be protected from insanitary stores by a system of rigid inspection. Household Supplies.—Similar care should be exercised in the home to protect household supplies from mice and rats. Little progress in ridding the premises of these animals can be mnde so long as they have access to supplies of food. Cellars, kitchens, and pantries often furnish subsistence not only to rats that inhabit the dwelling, but to ninny that come from outside. Food supplies may always be kept from rats and mice if placed in inexpensive rat-proof containers covered with wire netting. Sometimes all that is needed to prevent serious waste is the application of a defective part of the building. Produce in Transit.—Much loss of fruits, vegetables, and other produce occurs in transit by rail and on ships. Most of the damage is done at wharves and in railway stations, but there is also considerable in ships' holds, especially to perishable produce brought from warm latitudes. Much of this may be prevented by the use of ratproof cages at the docks, by the careful fumigation of seagoing vessels at the end of each voyage, and by the frequent fumigation of vessels in coastwise trade; but still more by replacing old and decrepit wharves and station platforms with modern ones built of concrete. Where cargoes are being loaded or GIVE FEED ANIMALS RELISH be utilized or promptly destroyed by tire. Hats find abundant food in country slaughterhouses; reform in the management of these is badly needed. Such places are centers of rat propagation. It Is n common practice to leave offal of slaughtered animals to be eaten by rats and swine, and this is the chief means of perpetuating trichinae In pork. The law should require that offal be promptly cremated or otherwise disposed of. Country slaughter-houses should be as cleanly and as constantly inspected as ahbatoirs. Another important source of rat food is found In remnants of lunches left by employees in factories, stores and public buildings. This food, which alone is sufficient to attract and sustain a small army of rats, is commonly left in waste baskets or other open receptacles. Strictly enforced, rules requiring all remnants of food to be deposited in covered metal vessels would make trapping far more effective. Military training camps, unless subjected to rigid discipline in the matter of disposal of garbage and waste, soon become centers of rat infestation. Waste from camps, deposited in covered metal cans and collected dally, should be removed far from the camp itself and ePher burned or utilized ID approved modern ways. W h i l e Preference for Certain Food Is Formed by Habit, It Is Better to Cater to I t Ingredients in Eggs. Lime, nitrogen and phosphoric acid ' are the principal ingredients in eggs. economical gains. If he does oaf watch closely he is likely to wast* feed while some of the animals are not getting enoueh. Animals a"re much like human beings in that they have their own Individual preference for certain foods. While this preference is formed by habit, to get the best returns with the feeds, it is best generally to cater to the animal's appetite. Some horses will not do well without oats In the ration. Others do not especially care for oata, but require corn, some require more hay than others, some must have ground feeds. To get the best results such animals should be humored. Our problem In feeding la to watch tbe animals and see that they get the feeds they require and no more. Feed left In the trough or scattered on the ground out of reach of animals does not produce. Even In feeding cattle a skillful feeder will soon learn the different ani tnal's peculiarities and meet their reqii' *i «uch a «*nr as to get DRY FEED INSTEAD OF SLOP Doesn't Freeze Up to Insult Appetite of Hog in -Winter—Germ* and Odors Are Avoided. The farmer whose pigs have last their avidity for slop should try ft ing the slopsruff dry. Many a tl pigs may be found fastidiously nosL. through thick slop, when if dry middlings be placed in a trough hard by they will devour it In fierce competition. Some men like milk toast and some men don't like milk toast; that la the way with pigs. Try raising a bunch of pig* on dry middlings instead of slop of middlings, and the chances am that the pigs will demonstrate the success of the experiment Germs and odors don't accumulate around a trough In which dry feed is provided; dry feed doean*t freese up to Insult the appetite of a bog, ttke slop may do It. winter.

EASY TO GROW FLOWERS AND SHRUBS. Why should not the playground at school be made one of the beautiful places of the school district? Here the children spend most of their wakeful hours, more during the school hours than at home. These hours of study and play mean much more when their surroundings tire conducive to putting forth their best efforts. The green leaves oi the spring, the colored foliage of the fall, the sumac, asters and goldenrod, all add something to creating a more cheerful spirit. This Is the day of popular education. Every condition that will be most favorable to all should be provided if within means, [n most cases those things which have most real beauty to commend them can be acquired with the least pecuniary expense. What does it cost to plant a tree or a shrub? How expensive is it to set out u flower? Very little time need be taken to clean up a schoolyard if there are willing hands. Every boy and girl can he made willing to help ; t h e r e are always patrons who are willing to assist if they know what you want done, A country sehoolhouse in western Ohio hat! bush roses, japonica, flowering quince, snowballs, sweet clover, bridal wreath, etc., set in masses in the corners and near the sides so that the playground was not encroached upon. Those which do not grow very high arc set in front. The hardy hydrangia and trumpet-vine are suitable for spring p l a n t i n g ; they should be on every school ground. Near the front porch of the school (if t h e school hoasrs a porch), or near the sehoolhouse on a trellis have crimson or the Dorothy Perkins ramblers. Plant hardy chysanthenimus near the fences. To hide the foundations plant several h u n d r e d s of tulips and hyacinths and h a v e plenty of crocuses peeping through the grass. All that is necessary to do work of thN kind is in arouse a little interest among the children and patrons. The war gardens <>f last year have demonstrated how eagerly the ehiidren fall in with the plans of their elders and how successful they can be in this particular line of endeavor, The children should be permitted to do most of tho work, because it is a joy to a child to know that he has assisted in doing good work. The tulip and hyacinth bulbs should he planted six inches deep and about three or four inches apart. They might he planted eight or ten inches deep if the soil had been loose. After blooming, tulips can be cut off and geraniums or co'eus can be planted for the summer tit the same ground, After frost, tulips and hyacinths should remain in the ground over winter to be ready for the spring blooming. Are fences necessary to protect the. plants? Not at all. Public sentiment will pro! et a flower if the public, through it>> ehiidren, helped in the planting. Yes, there is an exceptional indifferent om- now and then, but the public that 1ms a beautiful school ground and ha-1 experienced a new feeling because of it will take care of the indifferent one. <~?.'<nS Should Keep Piano Dry.

"What makes you get up so early? It isn't breakfast time yet. It is so warm and cozy here in bed. I'm going to lie? here and think tip lots of good resolutions fur tiie ni'w year. Then I can write them out after breakfast. Why don't ymi make some resolutions, Agnes?" "I don't know. ] hadn't thought about it," replied the little girl. "I have been hurrying to get dressed, for I was afraid mamma would want me; Freddie has -been crying fill the morning." "Fred is sueh ;• cry-baby !" returned Dorn. "Well, perhaps I'd hotter get up, sceiiur you are all ready to go down. Tell mamma I am coming right away." and she crawled out of bed as Ague:- closed the door.

Freddie had ] been restored to good humor, and everybody seemed very happy as t h e y ! gathered around the first morning ; meal of the new year. Fright faces, | merry voices and good wishes made j it a oharmin:.' family group. ! Dora and Amies cleared the table when the meal was finished, for there1 was no servant in the house, and the two sisters helped much with the work, that mamma might get more time to sew. i "Shall I wash or wipe the dishes?" ( asked Dora. ; "()h. I'll wash them, and you can wipe them," said Agnes, "for you'd rather, and I don't care." "Well, then I'm going upstairs to write out my New Year's resolutions; I'll be down by the time you have the dishe* ready to rin^e," and Dora ran up to her room.

"I will sew on my buttons without being toid. "I will not let Agnes do my share of the work, just because she is obliging. "I will always be pleasant to everybody—" tliein," said Dora, with a guilty flush, "Never mind," said Agnes, "I knew you were busy." "Dora followed her sister downstairs, thinking she would put the rooms In order and feed the canary before Agnes returned. Hut to her surprise, the parlor and sitting room were dusted, Dick was eating fresh seed witli great relish, and It was ten o'clock, How long a time she had spent over I1IOM> resolutions! After making Baby Fred happy with a big block house, Dora slipped upstairs and brought down her paper of "Now Year's Resolutions" and quietly laid it on the parlor fire. "I'll keep my eyes and ears open, as Agnes does, and try to bo as pleasant as she is. That will be better than writing out a thousand resolutions!''' —Youth's Companion.

An attempt to save the property of Mlchigaa soldiers from being sold for taxes is being made tor the boys at Camp MacArthur, Waco, Texas. Lieut. William Harcourt, a Detroit attorney and member of the 20th machine gun battalion, has been assured by Detroit's corporation counsel that action will be taken to relieve soldiers of special taxes until after the war. A soldier at Waco who owns property in Detroit received a notice that unless a sidewalk assessment was paid his property would be sold for taxes. j His entire savings were invested and I he had no means of raising sufficient ! money to make the payment. Other cases of a like nature were discovered, and Lieut. Harcourt took the matter up with Detroit. Soldiers have been receiving notices from holders of land contracts also, that unless they paid up arrears and kept their payments going regularly they would lose their investments. Several men who own homes have been driven so desperate by the notices that they have made every sacrifice to keep up their payments, fearing their families would be evicted. It is understood that the Michigan law protects a soldier, but the holders of these contracts do not know this law, or, knowing it, will endeavor to Lans'.ng. Michigan state troops, as the locally known Home Guards are technically called, will be fully outfitted by the state, if the United States governmen: does not announce shortly what it is going to do toward equipping the troops, which have been organized to take the place of the National Guard.

THE TRUTH ABOUT ECZEMA AND PILES Thousands and thousands of people, says Peterson, are learning every week that one 30 cent l>ox of Peterson's Ointment will j abolish Eczema and banish piles, and the grateful letters I receive every day are worth more to me than money. I had Eczema for many years on my head and could not get anything to do it any good. I saw your ad and got one box and I owe you many thanks for the good it has done me. There isn't a blotch on my head now, and I couldn't help but thank Peterson, for the cure is great, Mrs. Mary Hill, 420 Third Ave., Pittsburgh, Pa. I have had itching piles for 15 years and Peterson's is the only ointment that relieves me, besides the piles seem to have gone. A. B.

At the last session of congress, some ordnance was voted for the use of state troops, but this is not available. It is expected now that the present congress will go further than mere ordnance and will make some announcement federalizing them, to the extent of furnishing equipment. Pending the action of the government the purchase of equipment by the state is considered unwise by the military board as the state might find itself with a lot of stuff on hand for which it will have no use It is more than likely though, if the national authorities fall to provide equipment in a month, the state will purchase the complete equipment. It is figured that in that length of time something definite will at least be started in Washington. sold a lot he had inherited. Lieut Harcourt will compile the law on this subject and publish it in all the the Michigan units. Pneumonia Danger Passed. " T h e r e is no immediate cause for great anxiety concerning the health of the m e n in Camp Custer." This comforting comment on t h e situation which is the result of lack of proper clothing and footwear for t h 3 troops, comes from .Lieut.-Col. Bart- Clothing Shortage Serious. Following tho announcement of the quartermaster-general's department of a delinquency in delivery of clothing, shoes and blanket contracts of from 6 to 48 per cent, army authorities of Camp Custer have admitted that the protracted delay in the arrival of proper clothing is causing serious difficulties. The root of the trouble seems to be that Michigan and Wisconsin men are too big for army clothing. The matter, which has dragged on for some weeks, came to a head when a shipment of clothing rushed to th* cantonment by express to equip men of the last contingent who have not been uniformed, was found to consist largely of small sizes. Of 10,676 blouaeg. 7,334 are too small to use; of 19,944 woolen breeches 2,709 are too small to be issued. The great difficulty seems to be in procuring suitable sizes. Enough garments have been received to clothe the present division and all the men it has transferred to other points, but there has been such an overwhelming preponderance of small sizes that Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cored by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness, and that Is by a constitutional remedy. HALL'S CATARRH MEDICINE acts through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces of the System. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness Is the result. Unless the Inflammation can be re* duced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing may be destroyed forever.

Another vital need is socks. Tho men must have plenty of them, and they are skimping along on the minimum number, with the supply dwindling daily.

SEARCHERS FAIL TO FIND FUND Another Search Will Be Made When Cargo Is Unloaded—Ship in Command of "Committee." A Pacific Port — Tho Russian freighter Shilka, Captain Boris Dogal, ! which, unheralded, slipped into the harbor here late Friday night direct , from Vladivostok, is under bolsheviki rontrol, it became known Sunday. A number of the Shilka's sailors \ were fraternizing on the docks with a party of alleged Industrial Workers ! of the World, 21 of whom were ar- | rented by federal officials and held for j investigation. Among those taken 1 into custody were 13 Russians. None of the sailors were arrested. Shortly after the vessel's arrival. a report was circulated that she had brought a fund of $100,000 in gold for defense of several scores of Industrial Workers of the World now awaiting trial in Chicago on conspiracy charges. • The United States district attorney here admitted he had heard of the report and federal agents searched the vessel, but found no gold, knowledge of which was denied by the captain and crew. Another search will be made when the cargo of licorice root and beans ia discharged. Following out Bolsheviki principles, the Shilka, it was said, is really under command of a committee of five, four sailors and one officer. This committee has power to over rule any order of Captain Dogal at any time, but members of the crew stated that this unique division of authority had caused no trouble on the voyage across the Pacific. Members of the crew have been forbidden to leave the vessel and 50 cadets from a naval training school, working in three relays under command of commissioned officers, are guarding the ship from the docks.

A $2,500 clerk was the medium of forming an $8,000,000 corporation, which took the risk of the yards being moved, and testimony showed how the packer? in return, to use the language of one of the participants, got their share of "the plunder" and took their "pickings."

America is at last looking into the grim face of war with its thousand horrors. We can no longer doubt that some of our boys will die somewhere in France, Thousands more will fall wounded in the withering fire of the -German barrage. Other thousands as the days grow will be greviously sick in the bass hospitals. They are our boys, flesh of our flesh, bone of our bone—loyal Americans, walking m the hard paths of duty.

FIRST MADE USE OF IN 1870 '*<;v At That Time ft Was Condemned by the Civilized World, but the German Military Leaders Have Never Abandoned It. Ample proof thai the march of the German armies t)i rough Belgium was marked by massacres and cruelties almost beyond belief is given in a document made public by the committee on public information, from which the following is taken: The massacres in Belgium and northern France were a part of the German system of frightfulness. Another feature of this system was the use of civilians as hostages and for screens. In discussing the use of hostages the German War Book (Kriegsbrauch lm Landkriege) nays : "A new application of 'hostage right' was practiced by the German staff In the war of 1870, when it compelled leading citizens from French towns and villages to accompany trains and locomotives In order to protect t h e railway communications which were threatened by the people. Since the lives of peaceable inhabitants were, without any fault on their part, thereby exposed to grave danger, every writer outside Germany has stigmatized this measure as contrary to the law of nations and as unjustified towards the inhabitants of the country," Clung to Frightfulness. Although their deeds in the Franco- Prussian war had been universally condemned, as they themselves admitted, the leaders did not intend to abandon surh a useful measure of frightfulness. In L'lnterprete Milltaire the forms were provided for such acts In the next war. P>oth in Belgium and In France the Germans have constantly used hostages. The evidence is contained In the proclamations of the governing authorities ami a No in the diaries of the German soldiers. A few examples from these will illust r a t e the system whirl) was employed, A specimen of the arbitrariness and cruelty is fuTnKhed by the proclamation of Major Inorkmann, from whirh the following sections are presented : "After 0 a. m, on the 7th September, I will permit the houses in Heyne- Heusay, Grivognee, and Bois-de-P»reux to be Inhabited by the persons who lived in them formerly, as long as these persons are not forbidden to frequent these localities by official prohibition. Prominent People Hostages. "In order to be sure that the abovementioned permit will not be abused, the burgomasters of Reyne-Heusay and of Grlvecnee must immediately prepare lists of prominent persons who will he held as hostages for 24 hours each at Fort Fleron. September (], 1914, for the first time (the period of detention shall be) from 0 p. m. until September 7 at midday. "The life of these hnstaces depends • on the population of the above-mentioned communes remaining quiet un- •der nil circumstances. "During the night it Is severely forbidden to show any luminous signals. Bicycles are permitted only between 7 a. m. and fi p. m. (German time). "From the list which is submitted to me I shall designate prominent persons who shall be hostages from noon of one day until the following midday. If the substitute is not there in due time, the hostage must remain another 24 hours at the fort. After these 24 hours the hostace will incur the penally of death, if the substitute falls , to appear. "Priests, burgomasters, nnd the other members of the council are to be taken first ns hostages. "I insist that all civilians who move about in my district . . . show their respect to the German officers by taking off their hats, or lifting their h a n d s to their heads In military salute. I n case of doubt, every German soldier must be saluted. Anyone who does not do this must erpect the Germ a n military to make themselves respected by every' means." This Is fin invitation to a service In memory of 60 men and women from one parish, of whom all but two were killed by t h e Germans in the massacre Of August 6 and 6, 1914. The closing sentences are: "Gentle Heart of Mary, be my refnge. *Otir Lady of Lonrdes, pray for ns. "St Joseph, patron of Belgian, pray for vm. "8t fF«i«1fcHn, patron of the parish, pray f o r m *9aint« fcarbe, patroness of kindly tattfe, pray for us." After reading such ghastly accounts. many of them written by German eye witnesses, and knowing that si in ill" tales were published widely In the German newspapers, it is difficult to read with patience such words as these : "The German army (In which I of course Include the navy) is today the greatest institute for moral education in the world." "The German soldiers alone are thoroughly disciplined, and have never so much as hurt a hair of a single innocent human being."—Houston Stewart Gliamberluln, in Kriegsaufsdtze, "War Fssays," 1014. "We see everywhere how our soldiers respect the sacred defenselessness of woman and child."—Prof. G. Roethe, in Deutsche Kedeu in Schwerer Zeit, "German .Speeches In Difficult Days." Hostages' Lives Hung by Thread. "In order to Insure sufficiently the safety of our troops and the tranquility of the population of Reims, the persons mentioned have been seized as hostages by the commander of the German army.

Stracbey, editor of the Spectator (London), once an advocate of the drink tratiic, has since the beginning of the war made prohibition the policy of his paper. In a recent public address he told this story : "A city, though its armies were victorious, was In dire straits for food. Strict search was made to see that nothing that could be used for food should be wasted, and lo, a great store of barley and sugar was found. And t h e generul thanked God that they were saved. There was enough barley and sugar to enable them to hold out till the re-victualling that was sure to come In a few mouths. The barley, mixed with corn, would make excellent bread and the sugar would save the children. " 'Alas,' said the civil authorities, 'all this barley and sugar must be t u r n e d into b e e r ; we dare not touch It' " T h e general, who was a simple soldier and did" not understand polities, was angry. 'This is a town of sane people, not a lunatic asylum, nobody can be allowed to turn into beer what i might be made into bread and so save I the people.' J "But it was even so. T h e city fell and the conquerors drank the beer!" Mr. Strachey hammered his point home with these w o r d s : "The proper thing to do, the straight thing to do, the only honorable thing to do, is to stop the brewers and give the people bread. With famine facing the world, the government must stay the food destroyers on land as well uy on sea, if we nre to have victory." CANADA'S W H I T E MAP.

BRUCE in Utica Globe.) H E N u young man ut a Christinas parly leads, with an a t t e m p t at nonchalance, some charming young lady beneath a bough of mistletoe in order to win a "mistletoe kiss" he is of the opinion that he is luring the young lady into a situation where, by the decree of an ancient custom, she must forfeit the aforesaid kiss. f r a n k n e s s compels me to confess that the luring is done by the young lady. Eor their Christmas parties they secure and suspend the mistletoe and she is indeed a most sedate and rather chilling young person who will not, during the festivities, allow herself to be "lured" beneath the mistletoe. And all this is quite within her rights. It is a custom she inherited from ancestors who dwelt in Britain or Scandinavia, centuries ago. Today the mistletoe and the mistletoe kiss are associated only with Christmas. But, in truth, mistletoe had its significance centuries before the birth in Bethlehem which gave us Christmas. Scandinavians claim that mistletoe customs originated with them, but there is an English legend antedating those of Scandinavia, which tells how the girls of semlharbaric Britain, in the golden age of the Druids, did themselves hung up boughs of mistletoe and lure young men into their embrace. According to this legend Chelm, an ancient high priest, had a great temple In the forest where he taught young men to become priests. So popular did this temple become that half the young men of the countryside were leaving their homes and people, and becoming Druid priests. There was great need of the young men it) the camps to hunt and fish and to plant, and, above nil, there were so many more maidens than young men left that they decided something must be done to reclaim them. The girls sought an ancient witch and asked her help. "Pick yonder mistletoe that grows without roots upon the trees, go to the edge of tin1 forest round about the tree temple of Chelm and hang it there all around and about the forest. Stand in waiting there, well hidden, until the young men coining forth from t h e forest each night to bring food to t h e temple, are under the mistletoe, then step forth. They will clasp you and kiss you whereupon do you scream right lustily and the young men shall be yours." How the Girls Won Back the Men. The maidens followed this advice and hung the mistletoe In festoons about the edge of the forest. Standing under it, the young men felt impelled to kiss the maidens who stepped forth to greet them. The maidens, a s instructed, screamed lustily and Chelm and other of the old Druid priests rushed forth, fearing their young men were being murdered. When the good old Druids saw the young men embracing the maidens they drove them away, for they would have no one among them who had ought to do with women. And so. through the peculiar influe n c e of the mistletoe, the maidens won back the young men, but the custom of hanging up mistletoe was kept tip. L a t e r after the introduction of Christianity, the custom was added to t h e Christmas festivities. Christmas Festivities. From Scandinavian mythology comes t h e wetrd but interesting story of the origin of mistletoe, that pale-berried p a r a s i t e of the forest. One of the best of these legends is that of Baldur, son of Wodin, in the days when those strange gods a r e said to have walked and talked with the mortals on earth, a s did Jupiter and Apollo and Diana and Latonio and t h e other gods and goddesses of Olympus. Baldur was the Scandinavian god of sunshine and s u m m e r and was nat- SUfiaily beloved by all except Loki, t h e jpai of hearth fires. For, whHe the le rushed out of doors to see Balt) n* when he brought the summer sun. they had no use for Loki until the next Winter, consequently Loki disliked Baldur. Nanna, goddess of the blossoms and wife of Baldur, dreamed terrible d r e a m s of the death of Baldur, and she \vvnt to the great god Wodin, her father-in-law, and told him and he was grtT.tlv troubled. Bat messenger* tvt>* it forth throughout the world and had everything swear to do Baldur no harm. Everything animate and inanimate, the animals and men and fish and birds, the w a t e r and e a r t h and rocks and trees, the winds and clouds and rain and snow, all agreed never to harm Baldur. "Go forth and weep no more, daughter," said Wodin to Nanna, "no harm can now come to your husband, my son," and Nanna went forth happy. After that all t h e gods used to amuse themselves hurling stones and axes and spears at Baldur and he stood and laughed at them, because neither wood nor petal nor anything could harm him. It was great sport for everyone. One day while at this sport an old woman asked Nanna why they were trying to kill Baldur. "Everything has promised never to harm him," she explained. "Everything?" queried the old woman. "Except the mistletoe, what can that little shrub do?" Nanna laughed scornfully. The old woman hurried away. Of course it was Loki in disguise. She got a twig of mistletoe and hardened it by charring the outside before the fire, fitted the point to a lance and hurled it at Baldur, whereupon it pierced his heart and he fell dead. Dedicated to Love and Affection. As a peace offering the gods dedicated the mistletoe to love and affection and peace just so long as it never touched Loki's territory, the ground. Ever' since then the mistletoe h a s grown without roots, far away from the ground, and even to this day it is used by suspending it above the floor or ground. And so it is that both ancient Britain and Scandinavia lay their claim to mistletoe customs and the origin of suspending a branch of it beneath which youth may kiss, T h e r e Is little doubt but what the custom was in use a thousand years before the origin of Christinas. While the story of the maidens who lured back to their camps, and to themselves, the young men who were about to become Druid priests, gives good account of our custom of kissing beneath the mistletoe today, to Scandinavia also belongs much c r e d i t When those brave and romantic Scandinavians looked forward to Valhalla as their heaven, and worshiped the gods Thor and Wodin on Thor's day and Wodin's day (which Is where we get our Thursday and Wednesday), they used to have certain great feast days for their gods. It became the custom, on observing T h o r ' s day, to build great fires. These were called " J u u l " fires. As everyone knows, the Scandinavian " J " is pronounced quite like our pronunciation of the letter "Y," consequently those fires were spoken of as "Yule" *ires. T h e brighter the fires, the higher the flames towered through the forests where the Scandinavians used to gather to pay honor to the great god Thor, the greater pleased was Thor, and so it became necessary to pickout the best of wood tc burn. Then men would go into the forest looking for " J u u l " logs, and they soon learned that the trees upon which much mistletoe clung would give the brightest fires. They did not know the reason for this, and believed that it was due to the work of the great Thor hiraself who caused the mistletoe to grow on those trees without roots solely as a means of letting his people know which trees were best for burning in his honor. And so whenever anyone met under the mistletoe in the great forests, no m a t t e r how great enemies they were, they dropped their weapons and greeted each other kindly, nor would they take up a r m s against each other until the sunrise of another day. This was their tribute in memory of Thor. * A Fetish of Good Luck. They began to take bits of the mistletoe into their homes and hang it over the doorways, and If any enemies came, they could not enter the houses beneath the mistletoe without becoming frienj^s to the people inside so long as they remained there. From this c a m e the habit of greeting people who stepped under t h e mistletoe with an embrace or a kiss, and at great Indoor feasts the mistletoe was hung u p in the room and the people greeted each other with kisses. Later this mistletoe hanging at feasts came to be put In use only at the Christmas feast and from that grew the custom of hanging up the mistletoe In order that any standing beneath it might be kissed by the first person who caught her there. Few if any growing things are the subject of as many ancient legends, customs and beliefs as the mistletoe. The fact that the ancient Celts in their druidical religion had two great festivals, one in J u n e and the other In December, the latter being equivalent to our Christmas. In both of these great festivals the g a t h e r i n g of the mistletoe was a sacred rite. Pliny in his Natural History describes the ceremony. Speaking of the Druids' worship of the oak, he s a y s : "They believe that whatever grows on these trees is sent from heaven and is a sign that the tree has been chosen by the God himself. The mistletoe is very rarely to be met with, but when it is found they gather it with solemn ceremony. This they do especially on the sixth day of the moon, because by the sixth day the moon has plenty of vigor and lias not run half its course. "After the preparations have been made for a sacrifice and a feast under the tree they hall it as the universal healer and bring to the spot two white bulls whose horns have never been bound before. A priest, clad in a white robe, climbs the tree and with a golden sickle cuts the mistletoe, which is caught in a white cloth. Then they sacrifice the victims, praying that God may make his own gift to prosper with those upon whom he has bestowed it. "They believe that a potion prepared from mistletoe will increase their flocks and that the plant is a remedy against all poison." It was believed to he a remedy for many ills and this belief is still to be found in many remote places in Europe. In Holstein, for example, the mistletoe is regarded as a healing remedy for wounds and in Lacaune, France, It Is always administered by the native people as an antidote for poison. They apply the plant to the stomach of the patient and give him a solution of it to drink as well. The Gaelic word for mistletoe is "an t'nil loc," which means "all healer," and this is probably what the Druids called it in ancient times. In the northeast of Scotland people used to cut withes of mistletoe at the March full m o o n ; tliese they bent in circles and kept for a year to cure hectic fevers and other troubles. In some p a r t s of Germany the mistletoe is especially esteemed as a remedy for the ailments of children, who sometimes wear it hung around the neck as an amulet. In Sweden on midsummer eve mistletoe is diligently sought after, the people believing it to he possessed of many mystic qualities, and that if a sprig of it is attached to the cejling of the dwelling house, the horse's stall or cow's crib, the "trolls" or evil spirits will then be powerless to Injure either man or beast. Branches of the plant are commonly seen in farmhouses hanging from the celling to protect the dwellings from all harm, but especially from fire, and persons afflicted with the falling sickness think they can wurd off all a t t a c k s of the malady by carrying about with them a knife which has a handle of mistletoe. .A Swedish remedy for other complaints is to hang a sprig of mistletoe round the sufferer's neck or to m a k e him wear on his finger a ring made from the p l a n t Moreover they fashion divining rods of mistletoe or of four different kinds of wood, one of which must be mistletoe. The treasure seeker places the rod on the ground after sundown and when it rests directly over the t r e a s u r e t h e rod begins to move as If it were alive. Like their Swedish neighbors, many German p e a s a n t s consider the mistletoe a powerful charm against evil spiri t s Makes Shaving Easy T h e wonderful skin food and "wrinkle chaser."

SAYS TEAM WORK IS ASSURED Meeting Got T o g e t h e r Principally on Economic S i t u a t i o n , Food, Embargo and Finance. Petrcgrad — Leon Trctzky, the Bolshevik foreign minister, declared at a nut ling of the council of soldiers' and workmen's delegates Sunday that an armistice governing operations on the Russian front had been signed, lie added that peace negotiations would be begun immediately. The foreign minister announced that for a time a break in the negotiations seemed imminent because General Hoffman, the German negotiator, insisted on the right to transfer troops in small units. The German commai* der finally accepted the Russian forml i b . "\VV. can't and won't aid militarism In any way," M, Trtozky said. "This question of transferring troops was mo^L fundamental. I think our formu'a is considered by our Allies to be satis faertcry " The RU-"MI:I delegates constituting the armisC'ce committee at Brest-Lilovsk have advised the Bolsheviki authorities at the Smolny Institute that an agreement wns re-ached wi'h the Germans concerning the transfer of troops. It was to this effect: "Both sides signing this agreement bind themselves until January M.

COAL SHIPS SEIZED IN DETROIT Drastic Action Taken to Relieve Fuel Famine. Detroit Spectacular, official action was taken by State Fuel Administrator "W. K. Prudden, Saturday and Sunday to relieve the fuel famine that has been menacing Detroit and Michigan for several weeks past, and these developments resulted: Four big lake freighters, consignee! to ports on the upper lakes, and laden with approximately 34,000 tons of coal, were seized under special authorization of the national fuel administration and their cargoes diverted to Industrial and domestic use in ihis city and state Mr. Prudden sent to National Tuel Administrator Harry A. Garfield, at Washington, by telegraph, recommendation that every large industrial plant in Detroit and Michigan, and throughcut the nation, except those orimarily engaged in makng munitions of war, shut down and absolutely suspend operations, and that every theatre and all public buildings and lodge halls, not needed for the successful prosecution of the war, close their doors for one week. He suggested that the suspension be officially decreed by National Administrator Garfield, and that it be effective for the week beginning December 24.

Washington.—Creation of an Allied naval council of all nations at w*r with the Central powers was announced last Friday in a cablegram to the navy department from Admiral William S. Benson in Paris. Members of the council, established in accordance with plans of the inter, allied conference, will report to their respective governments with recommendations for action. The council will be composed of the minister of marine and chief of naval staff of each country. In the case of the United States this means Secretary Daniels and Admiral Benson.

Beakes, of Ann Arbor, assumed hi;; seat in the house on December 14, as representative of the Second Michigan district. As a result of a contest b^ginnin:* after the election in November, 191G, congress voted to unseat Mark P.. Bacon, of WTyandotte, and to seat Mr. Beakes, Mr. Beakes was immediately sworn in as a member of congress and re ceived congratulations from fellowmembers without regard to party. New York.—Peace was never mentioned at the allied conference in Paris, or at the supreme war council which met recently at Versailles, Colonel E. M. House, head of the Ameri lean mission which recently visited England and France, said Saturday on his arrival from Europe. Mr. House said that the allied conference "brought things to a focus." The allied naval conference, formation of which has just been announced in Washington, is the first result of the meetings of American delegates and representatives of the other allies, Mr. House said. "Before the conference," Mr. House asserted, "co-ordination was not going on well. "But we are working now well together. We got togeother principally on the economic situation, embargo, food and finance. I regard the trip as a complete success." Mr. House said that the governments tnibt ratify all action taken. He 3aid an announcement of the work accomplished by the American mission might be expected from Washington soon. The supreme war council, he said, is a permanent body and the United States has a permanent place in It, if it so desires. The matter of Mr. House making another trip to Europe soon is entirely at the disposition of President Wilson. "The morale among the people in both Great Britain and France is srlendid," Mr. House said. "Even French pacifists admit that th3 moral0 was never better. "American interests in Europe are almost paramount." TWO AUSTRIAN WARSHIPS SUNK Italian Destroyers Enter Harbor at Trieste to S t r i k e Blow.

The flag measures 34 by 54 feet and represents the largest number of men engaged in war service of any of the companies displaying service flags here and is said to establish a national record. The Bell Telephone company flas hero displays 6,895 stars. Washington.—Two of Austria's battleships have fallen victim to the most daring naval raid of the war—the forcing of the harbor of Trieste by two intrepid Italian torpedo boat destroyers. A dispatch received at the Italian embassy thus recounts the 'exploit: "In the night of December 9-10, Italian torpedo boat destroyers en. tered Trieste harbor, passing the enemy fortifications and fired five torpedoes at two Austrian battleships, one of them being the Monarde. All five torpedoes exploded. One battleship foundered. The Italian destroyers were attacked by guns and torpedoes, but despite this they returned iu safety."

Cities to Dim "White W a y s " Thursdaya and Sundays. , Holds in Spite of Heavy Blows By I Teuton invaders. Washington.—Two "llghtless nights"' a week have now been ordered by the fuel administration. Sunday and Thursday of every week are to see the city "white ways" and advertising signs darkened, only necessary street lights used and on'y such lights as the law requires In offices and stores not open for business. The new order replaces one which became effective November 9 for tie dimming of electric displays, which the administration says has been a failure. '< London—The Italian line, although almost ceaselessly assailed In the mountain regions, is still intact and holding well except for a small recession here and there forced at the cost of extremely heavy casualties on the part of the Austro-German invaders. The Franco-Behgian front is Inactive except for local fighting, mostly due to German thrusts here and there delivered with the seeming intention of keeping the Anglo French command guessing as to the enemy intentions. In Palestine, the Brtish have scored a further advance northeast of Jemsale* «i. Lansing—Relief from the coal shortage, which last week seemed assured, has proven a myth and Michigan now is both desperate and destitute. This condition, however, prevails, practically throughout the nation an-1 National Fuel Administrator Garfield has redoubled efforts to release supplies held on tracks by car congestion. The state administrators office here is flooded with telegrams from all parts of the state telling of immediate need for coat Hundreds of towns are prractfcally without fuel but conditions are such that slight hope of relief can be held out to them. I Grow Grain in Western Canada, Make Profits, and Show Greater Patriotism. The nation-wide cry of "More Efficiency" bus now reached even the most remote agricultural sectlous and there is u general interest umongst the farmers to increase their products and to reduce their expenses. The need of foodstuffs Is greuter than the world has ever before known, and every effort Is being used to meet the world's food requirements, becoming more apparent every day. While it is true that this desire is attested by a general patriotism, there is an underlying factor in this extension work to secure some of the benefits that are being offered by a ready market at maximum prices. Wide-spread attention has been given to the opportunity in this respect in Western Canada, where fortunes are being made in a few crops out of grain at present prices. It has been found that the open, level prairie can be cultivated for wheat and other small grains at a minimum price, and during the past few years the yields have been more than satisfactory. Wheat crops of forty bushel to the acre have been common In Western Canada in the Inst three or four years, and with a present available price of over $2.00 per bushel this means a return oti investment and labor th;it cannot be duplicated elsewhere. This is made possible by the low priced lands that can be secured for grain growing. The range in price runs from $15 to $25 per acre, according to location and other local conditions. In this period of "more agricultural efficiency" it Is apparent at a glance that the farmer on low priced but high grade lands, growing his grain nt a minimum cost, is reaping a golden harvest with the highest percentage of profit. The cultivator of high priced farm lands has a big handicap to overcome in computing his profits on a $200 an acre farm as compared with the agriculturist reaping as great, if not greater return from $25 an acre land. It therefore becomes a question for the farmer himself to answer, whether ; he is doing himself and his country the best service, by devoting all his energies to working high priced land that yields no better return than land that can be secured at one-eighth the price. It is a case of getting either minimum or maximum quantity. Many have already decided on the alternative, and with their spare money invested in and now working Western Canada lands, they are allowed to speak for themselves. Apparently they are satisfied, for we learn of cases where on a $4,000 investment, in one year they have had their money back, with a profit of from 507c to 100%. Such is one of the steps in progressive* ness now being demonstrated- in the effort to create greater efficiency. The Canadian Government is using every effort to bring these conditions, to the attention of the agricultural world, in order to secure the necessary increased grain production so greatly needed. The farmer in Western Canada is exempt from all personal taxes. His buildings, stock and Implements are not assessed; and every encouragement is given to farmers to improve and increase their farm output. Reduced railway rates are being offered to new settlers to look over the country and to size up an unprecedented opportunity in farming. — Advertisement. His Pride. Governor Whitman said at a gathering in Syracuse : "When the kaiser boasts arrogantly to a ruined Germany about the blessings his rule has conferred upon the German people I am irresistibly reminded of the German prison superintendent. "This old fellow, after 30 years In office, was decorated with the order of the Red Hat, or Blue Sausage, or something of the sort, and in his speech of acknowledgment in the hall of the prison he said : " 'As you see, friends, I have been decorated with the imperial order of the Blue Sausage, but I willingly confess that this honor has been atttained, not by my own merits alone, hot - by the co-operation of all of y*u. | can also declare with pleasuft since I have occupied this number of prisoners has from 4¾) to 985—a fact of you and I may be justly proud,*** When Noise Doesnt Count.

CAROL GOES TO THE ASSISTANCE OF LARK WHEN DEEP EMBARRASSMENT THREATENS AND A NEARPAINFUL INCIDENT BECOMES A COMEDY Synopsis.—The story opens in the house of Rev. Mr. Starr, where Prudence, his eldest daughter and feminine head of the house, consisting of her father, herself, her sisters, Fairy, the twins—Carol and Lark—and Connie, the youngest, are awaiting the arrival of their aunt Grace. Liveliness of the smaller members uf the family results disastrously for their appearance. Carol and Lark investigate Christian Science. Prudence postpones her wedding when Carol catches measles. Then Carol tries to convert the town roughneeks. > CHAPTER V. Substitution. The twins came in at dinner-time wrapped in unwonted silence. Lark's face was darkened by an anxious shadow, while Carol wore an expression of heroic determination. "What's u p ? " Connie asked, when the rest of the family dismissed the m a t t e r with amused glances. Lark sighed and looked at Carol, seeming to seek courage from the Spartan countenance. Carol squared her shoulders. "Wei!, go on," Connie urged. "Don't be silly. You know you're crazy to tell us about it, you only want to be coaxed." Lark sighed again, and gazed appealingly at her stout-hearted twin. Carol never could resist the appeal of those ipleading eyes. "Larkie promised to speak a piece at the Sunday-school concert two weeks from tomorrow," she vouchsafed, as unconcernedly as possible. "Mercy!" ejaculated Connie, with an astonishment that was uut altogether complimentary. "Careful, Larkie," cautioned Fairy. "You'll disgrace the parsonage if you don't watch out." "Nonsense," declared their father, "Lark can speak as well as anybody if she Just keeps n trood grip on herself and doesn't get stage fright." AMU* Grace smiled gently. Connie frowned. "It's a risky business," she said. "Lark can't speak any more than a rabbit, and—" l i know it," was the humble admission. "Don't be a goose, Con " interrupted Carol. "Of course Lark can speak a piece. She must leant it. learn it, learri it, so she can r a t t l e it off backwards with her eyes shut, That's the whale oecret. Of course she can speak." > "How did it happen?" inquired Fairy. **I don't know," Lark said sorrowfully. "Nothing was ever "further from my thoughts, I assure you. The first thing I knew, Mrs. Curt IKS was thanking me for my promise, and O.rol was marching me off like grim death." Carol smiled, relieved now that the family commentary was over. "It was very natural. Mrs. Curtiss begged her to do it, and Lark refused. That always happens, every time the Sunday school gives an entertainment. But Mrs. Curtiss went on to say how badly the Sunday school needs the money, and how big a drawing card it would be for both of us twins to be on the program, one right after the other, and how well it would look for the parsonage, and It never occurred to me to warn Lark, for I never dreamed of her doing it." "I thought It wouldn't hurt me to try it once," Lark volunteered in her own defense. . A u n t Grace nodded, with a smile of i n t e r e s t e d approval. ' T m proud of you, Lark, quite proud * f you," her father said warmly. "It's a big thing for you to m a k e such a plunge*—just fine." ' T m proud of you now, too," Connie said darkly. "The question is, will we b e proud of you after the concert?" L a r k sighed dolorously. "Oh, pooh 1" encouraged Carol. "Anyspeak a silly little old piece And it will look so nice to n a m e s right together on the It'll b r i n g out all t h e high :s, sure " •Tea, theyTJ come to h e a r Lark, all right** F a i r y smiled.

Lark, you must read It over, very thoughtfully first to get fhe meaning. Theer Juat read It rod ar»d it.and read It, a doses times* v hundred over. And pretty soon you'll know it." "I'll bet I don't," w a s the discouraging retort, as Lark, with pronounced distaste, took the slip of paper and sat down in the corner to read the "blooming thing," as she muttered crossly to herself. Connie and Carol did up the dishes in dreadful silence, and then Carol returned to the charge. "How many times did you read i t ? " "Fourteen and a half," was the patient answer. "It's a silly thing, Carol. There's no sense to it. 'The wind went drifting o'er the lea.' " - "Oh. that's not so bad," Carpi said helpfully. "I've had pieces with worse lines than that. 'The imprint of a dainty foot,' for instance. When you say, 'The wind went drifting o'er the lea,' you must kind of let your voice glide along, very rhythmically, very—" "Windily," suggested Connie, who remained to witness the exhibition. "You keep still. Constance Starr, or j you con get out of here ! It's no laughing matter I can teir you. and you have to keep out or I won't help and then—" I "I'll keep still. Rut it ought 1o be windily, you know, since it's the wind. j I meant it for a joko," she informed them. The twins had a very disheartening way of failing to recognize Connie's jokes—it took the life out of r them. 1 "Now read it aloud, .Lark, so I can see if you get the propel' expression," 'Carol continued, when Connie was utterly subdued. Lark obediently but unhappily read the quaint poem aloud and Carol srid it was very good. "You must read it aloud often, very oft^n. That'll give you a better idea of the accent. Now 1 put it away, and don't look at it again tonight. If you keep it up too long ! you'll get so dead sick 6f it you can't j speak it at all." ,-ji .. • -, j Ry the evening of the Sunday-school concert—they were concerting for the sake of a hundred-dollar subscription to church repairs—Lnrfc' had mastered her recitation so perfectly t h a t the minds of the parsonage were nearly at pence. She still felt a deep resentment toward the situation, b u t this was partially counter-balanced by the satisfaction of seeing hM* n a m e in print, directly beneath Carol's on the program. 1 Recitation Miss Carol Starr. Recitation Miss Lark Starr. It looked very well indeed, and the whole family took a proper interest in it. No one gave Carol's recitation a second thought. She a l w a y s recited, and did it easily and well. It was quite a commonplace occurrence for her. On the night of t h e concert she superintended Lark's dressing with maternal care. "You look all right," she said, "just fine. N<rw don't get scared, Lark. It's so silly. Remember that you know all those people by heart, you can talk a blue s t r e a k to any of them. There's no u s e — " "But I can't talk a blue streak to the whole houseful at once," L a r k protested. "It mnkes me have such a— hollow feeling—to see so many white faces gazing up, and it's hot, and—" "Stop that," came the stern command. "You don't w a n t to get cold feet before you start. If yon do ace!-, dentally forget once or twice, don't worsy. I know the piece as well as you do. nnd I can p r o m p t you from behind without nnyone noticing it. But you won't forget." She kissed her. "You'll do fine, Larkie, just a s fine ns you look, and it couldn't be b e t t e r than that." J u s t then Connie r a n in. "Fairy w a n t s to know If you a r e getting stage fright. L a r k ? My, you do look n i c e ! Now, for goodness' sake, L a r k , remember the parsonage, a n d don't m a k e a fixtle of it." "Who says fizzle?" demanded their father from the doorway. "Never say die, my girl. Why, Lark, I never saw yon look so sweet Ton have your hair fixed a new way. haven't your** "Carol did it" waa the shy reply. "It does look nice, doesnt It? rm not not s hit—yet t there's u hollow feeling— Have the boys come?" "No, but they'll be here in a minute. J i m ' s late. I do get sore at Jim—I'd forty times rather go with hhn than Hartley—but he always puts off asking us until the last minute and then I have a date und you get him. I believe he does it on purpose. Come on down." And Grace looked at the pale sweet face with gratified delight, and kissed her warmly. Her father walked around her, nodding approval. "Aunt Grace," lie said solemnly, "it's a wretched business, having a parsonage full of daughters. Just as soon as they reach the age of beauty, grace and charm, they turn their backs on their fathers and smile on fairer lads." "You've got me, father," said Connie consolingly. "And me—when Babbie's in Chicago," added Fairy. "Yes, that's some help. Connie, be an old maid. Do ! I implore you." "Oh, Connie's got a beau already," said Carol. "It's the fat Allen boy. They don't have dates yet, but they've got an awful case on. He's going to m a k e their living by traveling with a show. YTou'll have to put up with auntie —she's beyond the beaulng s t a g e ! " " S u i t s me," he said contentedly, "I am getting more than my deserts. Come on. Grace, we'll start." "So wdll we, Connie," said Fairy. B u t the boys came, both together, and t h e family group set out together. Carol and Hartley—one of her highschool admirers—led off by running a race down the parsonage walk. And Lark, old, worn and grave, brought up t h e r e a r with Jim Forrest. Jim was a favorite attendant of the twins. He had been graduated from high school the yenr previous, and was finishing off at the agricultural college in Ames. But Ames was not far from home, and he w a s still frequently on hand to squire the twins when squires were in demand. For this broad-minded devotion the twins gave him a deep-seated grntitude and niVectlon and he always stood high in their favor. "Are you scared. L a r k ? " he asked her as they walked slowly down the street toward the church. "I'm not scared, Jim," she answered solemnly, "but I'm perfectly cavernous, if you know what that means." "I s u r e do know," he said fervently, "didn't I have to do a speech at the commencement exercises? There never w a s a completer cavern than I wa* t h a t night. But I can't figure out why folks agree to do such things when Ihey don't have to. I had to. It was compulsory." Larlc gazed at him with limpid troubled eyes. "I can't figure out, either. I don't know why I. did. It was a mistake, some way," At t h e church, which was gratifyingly crowded with Sunday school enthusiasts, the twins forsook their friends nnd slipped along the side aisle to the "dressing room"—commonly utilized as t h e storeroom for worn-out song books, Bibles and lesson sheets. There they s a t in throbbing, quivering silence with t h e rest of the "entertainers." until t h e first strains of the piano solo broke forth, when they walked sedately out and took their seats along the side of the platform—an antediluvian custom which has long been discarded by everything but Sunday schools and g r a d u a t i n g classes. T h e program w e n t along smoothly, with no more stumbles than is customa r y a t such affairs, and nicely punctuated with hnnd clappings. When the superintendent read. "Recitation—Miss Carol Starr," the applause was enthusiastic, for Carol was a prime favorite In church nnd school and town. With sweet and charming nonchalance she tripped to the front of the platform and gave a graceful inclination of her proud young head in response to the applause. Then her voice r a n g out, and t h e room was hushed. Nobody ever worried when Carol spoke a piece. T h i n g s always went all r i g h t And back to her place she walked, her face flushed, her h e a r t swelling high with the gratification of a good deed well done. "Carol," Lark whispered. " I — r m s c a r e d . " * Instantly the trlnmph left Carol's h e a r t . "You're not," she whispered passionately, gripping h e r twin's hand closely, "you are not, you're all r i g h t " L a r k trembled more violently. H e r head swayed a Uttle. Bright flashes of light were blinding her eyes, and her ears were ringing. "I—can't," she muttered thickly. *Tm sick." Carol leaned dose to her and began s violent train of conversation, for the pnrpose of distracting her sites*hi ''Keritaiion Mis.s Lark Starr." Again the applause rang ^ut. Lark did not muve. "1 can't," she whispered again. "I can't." "Lark, Lark," begged Carol desperately. "You must go, you must. 'The wind went drifting o'er the lea,'—it'a easy enough. Go on, Lark. You must." Lark shook her head. "Mmmmm," she murmured Indistinctly. "Remember the parsonage," begged Carol. "Think of Prudence. Think of papa. Look, there he is, right down there. He's expecting you, Lark. You must !" Lark tried to rise. She could not. She could not see her father's clear encouraging face for those queer flashes of light. "You can," whispered Carol. "You can do anything, if you try. Prudence says so." People were craning their necks, and peering curiously up to the second row where the twins sat side by side. The other performers nudged one another, smiling significantly. "I can't." Lark whispered. "I'm sick." "Lark—Lark," called the superintendent. Carol sighed bitterly. Evidently it was up to her. With a grim face, sh.' rose from her chair and started out ot the platform. The superintendent stared at her, his lips parting. Th». people stared at her too, and smiled and then laughed. Panic-stricken, her eyes sought her father's face. He nodded quickly, and his eyes approved. "Good!" His lips formed the word, and Carol did not falter again. The applause was nearly drowned with laughter as Carol advanced for her second recitation. "The wind went drifting o'er the 'ea," she began—her voice drifting properly on the words—and so on to the end of 1 be piece. Most of the ardience, knowing Lark's tempi;' en;, had concluded that fear prevented her appearance, and understood that Carol had crane to her twin'-; rescue for the reputation of the parsonage. The applause wa.s deafening as >he went back'. It grow louder ;is she sat down with a comforting little grin at Lark. Then aa the Happing continued, something of her natural impishness entered her heart. • "Lark," she whispered, "go out and make a bow." "Mercy !" gasped Lark. "I didn't do anything." "It was supposed to be you—go on. Lnrkl H u r r y ! You've got to! Think what a Joke It will lie." Lark hesitated, but Carol's domlnanee was compelling. "Do as I tell you," came the peremptory order, and Lark arose from her chair, stepped out before the as- 'tonished audience and made a slow 'and graceful bow. This time the a p p l a u s e ' r a n riot, for people of less experience than those of Mount Mark could tell th:tf the twins were playing game. As it continued, Carol caught Larkln's hand in h e r s , and together they stepped out once more, laughing and bowing right and left. Lark was the last one in that night, for she and Jim celebrated her defeat with two ice cream sodas apiece at the corner drug store. "I disgraced the parsonage," she said meekly, as she stepped into, the family circle, waiting to receive her. "Indeed you didn't," said Fairy. "It was too bad, but Carol passed it off nicely, nnd then, turning it into a joke that way took all the embarrassment out of it. It WHS perfectly all right, and we weren't a hit ashamed." "And you did look awfully sweet when you made your bow," Connie said warmly—for when a member of the family was down, no one ventured a laugh, laugh-loving though they were. Curious to say, the odd little freak of substitution only endeared the twins to t h e people of Mount Mark the more. "By ginger, you can't beat them bloomln' twins," said Harvey Reel, chuckling admiringly. And no one disagreed. KIDNEY SUFFERERS HAVE FEELING OF SECURITY You naturally feel aecure when you know that the medicine you ure about to take IB aboolutely pure and contains no harmful or habit producing drugs. Such a medicine is Dr. Kilmer'b Bwamp- Koot, kidney, liver and bladder remedy. The same standard of purity, strength and excellence la maintained in every bottle of Swamp-Koot.

A sworn statement of purity ia with every bottle of Dr. Kilmer's Bwamp- Root. If you need a medicine, you should have the best. If you are already convinced that Swamp-Root is what you need, you will find it on sale at all drug stores in bottlei of two sizes, medium and large.

English W e a r Clogs. The greatly increased cost uf labor In the British isles h a s directed attention to a class nf footwear that has been going out of fashion owing to the increased earning power of the working classes, Pearson's Weekly states. The clog is a shoe of leather with a wooden sole to which the upper leather is attached by small nails. The wooden sole is protected by a light garniture of iron running round the edge. Hundreds of London schoolchildren are now wearing clogs which cost about three shillings a pair, and the London county council schoolteachers have been providing clogs for ill-shod pupils who pay for them by weekly Installments of ihree ponce each. Should the price of leather increase much more the city man will most probably be coining to business In clogs, though they will l»e of a better type, and already for country wear one can buy an elegant pair' of lacenp clogs for a quarter of the price of an equally efficient shoe.

The J a p a n e s e are the greatest masters of human equilibrium in the world. \Ya1ching them balance lightly on slack wires or stand mi their hands on slender poles, one would assume that aviation has-few terrors for them.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, Dec, 13, 1917 No. 50 RED CROSS CHRISTMAS DRIVE Big Campaign for Red Cross Members Starts Dec. 16. Beginning next Sunday with messages from tbe pulpits, there will be launched throughout the nation a mighty drive for Red Croas members . This drive will reach into every corner Of the United States and will concern itself with every individual citizen. - The good to be attained as a result of this drive, v-hich will close Chriaunas Eve., is a lied Ooas membership of 15,000,000. Livingston county is asked to furnish a ^membership of 2,000 in this drive. This means 2.000 new members, as the most of the presnt members' membership ends in April. The following statement by the war council o^ the Amoiican Red Cross states the purpose Of this drive: The war council of the American Red Cross has conceivud that a great na- ' tioual purpose will be sorved by having membership in the Red Cross almost as universal as citizenship, Although pledged as H nation to the national purpose during this great crisis, it will not be granted to a large percentage of us to play a part in the fighting branches of our country's service. All of us, however, aan be identified with the. Red Cross* whreh in these time* when whole nations are organized for warfare, is big enough and strong enough to carry some of the burden for our soldiers, our sailors and our allies. We want a Red Cross of fifteen miliion members. We want the strength j ford to ignore live stock, either from and support that will grow from this | a viewpoint of profit or patriotism, army oi members. We have set Chiisi ' After The War, What? At the threshold of thel7th. anniversary of the International Live Stock Exposition, its achievement needa no recounting. It has been a factor of prime importance in conserving and promnting the meat producing resorces of the country. Never has an industry been more in need of stimulating than at this moment and the "International" directory is redoubling its efforts in that direction. We need more animal foods and wil for many years to come.

' * ~r Z£*' f Even if the world went on £a peace basis tomorrow, meat shortage would confront its population, and the task of recuperating flacks and herds in both hemispheres will be a work of many years. Repletion is a slower process than depletion. Whence the beef, pork and mutton to feed tha teeming multitudes of Europe apd America during the next decade are coming from, is puzzling the master minds of the industay. The "International" managraent desires to emphasise the certanity of high prices for everything in the shape of live stock or animal foods during the life of the present generation of producers. To be properly impressed with these facta, visit the 1917 International at Chicago the first week of December. To see and hear is to be convinced.

Tbe work of the American Red Cross is so weil knswn to every man, woman and child in America that it needs no explanation. W herever there is suffering and kuj&an pain to be relieved, the mighty aras of the American Red Cross is stretched oat to relieve it. The work of tie American Red Cross in the present wo rid catastrophe is so heroic in its nature and so monumental in its -scope as to be beyond the reach of words ta describe. But so far this wark baa bean far our allies. Now the American Red Cross must saye the lives of American soldiers and thereby j bring joy into American homes that! ^rould without the heroic service of the j ited Cross have been deprived of a, -father or. a sou. Thia- work takes! 'money. It will take more money as tike days go by rather than less. The least that any American can do is to become a member of the Red Cross Jjhat bis dollar may be used over therr. We must have 2,000 new members in Livingston county. WQl yon become -one?

The fuel dealers of the county inform us that there are no immediate prospects of their being able to obtain a supply in the future, and we are convinced that the fuel condition in Livingston county is critical in the extreme. In view of that condition, we feel like makii^ the following recommendations : First; That every person and family conserve to the fullest extent the supply of fuel, by curtailing the use £of fuel for heating, lights and other purposes. Second: We reommend that all rooms in houses and buildings 'of all kinds that have been heated and can be dispensed with, lie closed. Third: That the farmers refrain so far as possible, from making any application to any dealer inftthis county for coal. Fourth: That all farmers who can furnish, wood for fuel be requested to place tHe same upon the market as quickly as possible, and that the same be sold at a reasonable price. The government has seen fit to fix a reasonable price upon a i r necessities, inelud. ing aoai The price of^ wood hasgnot been fixed, bat m this critical time we behave that the farmers of ^Livingston J county aye patrioUc^noogh to provide) e ^ f o * M t W era spare at a r*ae< mab*t$rk«, and will not ask exborb!~ ttatpriejai therefor, 4. . • V Ilffc* f f e rowan**! that ;tb« TraaaoraroftheToVvanB*fc^, tb«a*m eod other pbsect for the Men Ties, 25c, 5OC. $ i o o Handkerchiefs, i0e, 25c 50c Silk Wool Neck Scarfs, 5°c to S3.00 each Kid Gloves, $ 1 7 5 and $2.00 Suspenders, 25c to 75c Cigars 25 10 box. $125 Specials Fresh Crackers, extra special 12c lb New Pack Extra Corn i 3 c New Pack June Peas, 13c Red Salmon, 25c Leader Corn Flakes, 3 pkgs. 23c 1 lb Coffee, Steel Cut, 20c Hawaian Pineapple large • cans, 25c Yeast Foam 4c Holiday Suggestions for the Ladies Holiday Suggestions for the Table Budoir Caps, 25c, 50c ¢1,00 Silk Scarfs, 76c N i g h t G o w n s , Q 8 C , $ I .

T h a t is why the Red Cross, i n s t e a d of confining itself to giving t h e m hospital t r e a t m e n t after they h a v e been h u r t or a r e sick, is giving t h e m C h r i s t m a s trees and comfort'kitu a n d doing e v e r y t h i n g possible to m a k e C h r i s t m a s enjoyable for t h e m . Not a m a n in all "Black J a c k " Pershing's a r m y , will be without s o m e r e m i n d e r of the people at home for whom h e is fighting. Not a man in a n y one of all t h e a r m y and navy c a n t o n m e n t s scat tered all over the United S t a t e s will be without a g e n u i n e Christmas—even to a C h r i s t m a s tree. T h e Red Crosa j h a s g o n e into the S a n t a Claus busi-1 n e s s wholesale, as It goes into every-; thing it u n d e r t a k e s . And that is why every man, every woman, every child, owe it to t h e m selves and to the soldiers and sailors to , become a m e m b e r of t h e Red Cross. A c a m p a i g n is being carried on to enlist 250,000 new m e m b e r s of t h e American ; Red Cross in Michigan, making a total of 750,000. Every family in t h e s t a t e I ought be r e p r e s e n t e d . 1 It is because of the millions and millions of American boys w h o are goirg over to F r a n c e t h a t the whole Amer. lean people h a s got to join the Red Cross in helping c a r e for them. A few hundred thousand c a n be looked after by the p r e s e n t m e m b e r s h i p ; but multi-1 ply t h e m by ten or t w e n t y or twentyfive, and it takes a nation to back t h e m properly. It h a s been great sport this year t< fix up t h e C h r i s t m a s packets, and write t h e little personal note t h a t goes with each one, and picture to one's self the pleasure with which the unknown so1. dier in F r a n c e will hail the gift from the h o m e land. For there has been no real fightinK—only a trench raid or so, In which only a few lives were l o s t - fewer, In all likelihood, than would h a v e occurred in the natural course of events if they had remained in civil life. So, while t h e r e was sorrow for the brave fellows who went down fighting, and for those o t h e r s who were slain in the submarine brushes with the G e r m a n s , .there was not the overw h e l m i n g grref that c o m e s after every g r e a t battle. Next year it will be different—so different. In t h e spring—and e a r l i e r If the F r e n c h line should break at any p o i n t — P e r s h i n g will hurl his boys into the gap, and everybody knows what t h a t m e a n s . T h e r e will be fighting of t h e kind t h a t m a d e a whole world a d m i r e the men of Bull Run, and Antietam,, a n d Chancellor.-iville, and Chlckamauga, and Gettysburg, and w h e r e v e r Americans h a v e fought. T h a t m e a n s t h a t the hospital will be full of American boys whose lives depend on the work the Red Cross m u a . do—for t h e r e is no o t h e r agency that can wait on them. It m e a n s b a n d a g e s literally by the million for their wounds. It means splints and wound pads and pillows and all m a n n e r o£ surgical dressings without stint. It m e a n s pajamas and bed shirts and surgical s h i r t s — t h e kind t h a t surgeons c a n open and roach wounds without h a n d l i n g buttons. It m e a n s bed socks and b a t h robes a n d convalescent robes and all the things that invalids need. It m e a n s drugs and medicines and o p e r a t i n g i n s t r u m e n t s , and all t h e ! a p p l i a n c e s with which modern surg-j eons a r e daily performing miracles in saving lives and r e s t o r i n g t o usefulness legs and a r m s which u n d e r o t h e r m e t h o d s would have been cut off i t once. A m e r i c a n soldiers m u s t not be tor a single day without all of these t h i n g s they need. T h e F r e n c h have j been. In t h e early days of the war— | a n d it h a s been said in some l a t - r • days—word went out t h a t the F r e n c h ; a o r g e o n s w e r e operating without anest h e t i c s b e c a u s e they had none. It is bad e n o u g h to lose an a r m or a leg:, b u t n o o n e likes to think of being ti*d fast t o a t a b l e and the leg or a r m c o t off with no chloroform or either j t o g i v e t h e sufferer unconsciousness j while t h e kntf* i» wielded. | Also, within the last year, word h a s c o m a from t h e battlefields of F r a n c e | lat tike UttlB PoiluK h a d to u s e oidj »irspft0ers to stanch the blood from • _ wound*. That was because their | \Mr of **«** ^ d r u n o u t a n d no* a.ure was i.o be had. All America will agree t h a t none o^ these things m u s t h a p p e n to Pershing s boys. But it will h a p p e n unless the American people get right behind the Red Cross, and m a k e a n d ship those hospital supplies in a neverending stream. The aurgeona at the French Hospitals say t h a t sometime3 it t a k e s a whole box of surgical dr^s sings—7,000 of them—for a single wounded man. They have been so short at the F r e n c h hospitals t h a t instead of throwing t h e d r e s s i n g s away after using, they have been driven to try to clean them and use t h e m over and over. T h a t is what MaJ. Grayson M. P. Murphy had in mind a few weeks ago when h e cabled to the Red Cross that nothing on earth is now of equal imp o r t a n c e to getting a big supply of surgical supplies into F r a n c e . Unless we do, he said, disaster and disgrace a r e ahead for America—and t h e Red Cross and the A m e r i c a n people cannot afford to incur t h a t . Money is not all the Red Cross must have for this work, though it will t a k e millions of dollars. W h a t it needs most of al is ^an i m m e n s e num. ber of m e m b e r s , and t h e i r p e r s o n a l service. It needs, and h a s to have, the whole American people, fathers aud mothers, sisters and d a u g h t e r s , and the children, to back up the govern. ment and the Red Crosa In this work. T h a t is why the Red Cross wan^s 15,000,1X10 m e m b e r s in t h e country and 750,000 in Michigan. It is not so much the $2 or the $10 or the $25 or the $100 or the $1 fee t h a t m e m b e r s h i p cosis, though that has its importance. It would be even more necessary if m e m b e r s h i p did not cost a cent. But in this case the fee Is a small consideration. W h a t is needed in an a r m y of 15,000,000 true-hearted Americans who will stand back of the a r m y and navy, and supply them with everything they need to k e e p them well and c h e r r y , and to give t h e m every chance for life if they get sick or are hurt. Confidence in his backing is a mighty factor in a fellow's sprunk when he is fighting 3,500 miles from the home he is defending. Now a word about the different kinds of membership A patron mem her pays $100 in one sum, and the interest on that money a c c r u e s to the Red Cross every year. A life member pays $25 in one sum, and the interest suffices to keep his m e m b e r s h i p aJlve so long as he lives. But t h e most stress is not to be laid on these form* in this campaign because, as I have said, money is not the chief object. Everyone who can possibly afford it ought to be what is caled a "Magazine Member." It costs $2, each year, but it brings with it the Red Crosj Magazine, published every m o n t h with a wealth of pictures of Red Croat? work, and inspiring articles telling what the Red Cross is doing all around the world. For those who cannot s p a r e $2, theannual membership costs but $1, and one who has this m e m b e r s h i p is just as much a Red Cross m e m b e r as anyone, the only difference being that h? does not get the magazine. T h e first thing is to become a Rod Cross member. T a k e somebody in with you if you posibly can. Help tbo membership team that comes to you for your n a m e and your dollar or two dollars. Remember, it is not, in t h e final analysis, the Red Cross you are helping at all—it is t h e boys who are over there fighting for you. Nobody concerned with the Red Cross ever gets a penny out of a n y t h i n g given for relief, or from any g a r m e n t s made and entrusted to It. You will hear—if you have not already heard—a dozen stories about graft in the Red Cross. They are lies, everyone of t h e m . T h e y were started maliciously, and h a v e been peddled ver since by gossips, some malicious, some merely c h a t t e r e r s with no sense of responsibility, who would in the s a m e spirit repeat a s l a n d e r about a good woman. You h a v e heard, or will hear, that t h e high officers of t h e Red Cross f e t m o s t of t h e money given It for relief. Exactly the r e v e r s e Is true. Every m e m b e r of the w a r council, every head of every Red Cross bureau In Washington, every h e a d of every bureau in everyone of t h e t h i r t e e n divisions of the Red Cross In t h e United States, is giving his time free, and Is spending money of his own while he dops the work. In a recent public speech on t h U subject, Henry P. Davison, chairman of the Red Cross w a r council, declared t h a t of every, dollar given t h e Red Cross for relief, Bbout $1.02 is s p e n t for relief. Not only a r e t h e ex. p e a s e s m e t from funds provided for t h a t purpose, but t h e m o n e y contributed d r a w s Interest while in bank, a n d the interest also Is applied to relief work.

An ancient cathedral in Havana, Cuba, in which the ashes of Christopher Columbus once rested, has escaped threatened sale and destruction. The proposed sale of the historic Columbus Cathedral by 'he ecclesiastical authorities, and its consequent destruction, aroused such opposition that the edifice, which was built in 1704, and to which in the next year the ashes of Christopher Columbus were removed from Santo Domingo, will probably soon pass into the ownership of the Cuban government as a permanent nationed monument.

FLOWER FARMING FOR PROFIT Few persons realize the enormous money value of flowers sold in the greut cities of the United States. The demand for choice flowers never fails to consume all that may be offered. They must be good, though. The city man who wishes flowers 'or a special decoration does not care how much they cost if they are of the best that can be grown. Flower-farming is an agreeable occupation. But little hired help is required. The costly adjuncts of ordinary farming are not required ; such as curing, drying, housing and storing, all necessary in the raising of the standard farm crops. The plants rapidly increase in value, and once a place Is going it continues to increase in productive capacity with each succeeding year. The peony is one of the hardiest of plants and should be grown on the flower farm. It is a hardy plant, withstanding the most severe winters without protection. The Chinese varieties are later in blooming than the nutive varieties. These are the products of centuries of crossing and have in the blooms all of the delicate shades so popular in decorative art. They must be heavily manured to produce a profusion of flowers, and the ground must be well stirred so that It will hold moisture around the roots of the plant. The blooms are fragrant, lasting and durable and when properly prepared can be successfully shipped 500 to 700 miles to market. The flowers are produced one at a time and this makes it advisable to have a large number of the plants of the same variety, so that a quantity of the blooms can be cut each day In the same state of development. The plants remain In the ground from five to seven years, when they must be taken up and divided. If planted In the fall the peony will bloom the first season, but young plants are apt to be too quick in getting out in the spring and the buds may be injured by late frost. The older plants are more sedate and keep under cover of the ground several days longer and are rarely touched by the frosts. It costs upward of $1,000 to produce an acre of full blooming plants. A field-grown cut flower must be large and durable. It must have a long stem and some green foliage. It must be a single flower perched on the top of the stem. The hardy Hydrangea fills all these requirements and besides is very suitable for the field cultivation, requiring no fertilizing in ordinary trucking soil. To get results the new wood of each year's growth must be cut away and the hush made to send forth new vigorous stems from the roots or the old tOD. In this way a great number of flowers can be secured. One thousand bushes three years old will produce 30,000 flowers. The blooms unfold slowly and a full month Is given to cut and market the flowers. Being nearly imperishable, no great effort is required to secure the crop. Often the flowers need only to be mt each two or three days. The value of the crop depends upon getting the flowers very late or very early in the season, therefore the far south, and far north sections are the locations best adapted to the cultivation for profit. The "Cork Convent." A striking curiosity near Cintra, Portugal, is an ancient convent built partially in the interior of an Immense rock, says Wide World. The convent is situated In a very isolated spot, and was formerly surrounded by a dense wood of cork trees. The convent is known as the Convent de Cortica. or "Cork Convent," for the reason that the monks' cells, chapel, kitchen and refectory are all lined with cork to keep out the damp. From 1500 to 1834 the convent was inhabited by an order of monks known as the Capuchins, a remarkable feature of their religion being that, except on certain occasions silence was obligatory. Since 1834, when the monasteries and convents of Portugal were dissolved, the convent has not been occupied, though it is open to the public, a caretaker residing there for this purpose. A Sahara of Ice. The Interior of Greenland, or the inland Ice, Is so cold that It gets virtually no rain, says Robert E. Peary in the Century, and the snow does not have a chance to melt in the lo*g sunlit day. So the snow has accumulated century after century until it has filled the valleys, and not only leveled them with the tops of mountains, hut the highest of these mountain tops have been gradually buried hundreds and even thousands of feet in Ice and snow. Today the interior of Greenland, with its 1,500 miles In length and Its 700 miles-In maximum width, rising from 4,000 to 9,000 feet or more above sea level, is simply an elevated and unbroken plateau of cony pacted snow.

Salad for Game.—There is no salad (which never outwears its welcome) like head lettuce with a snappy, wellseasoned French dressing. Good oil and good vinegar and a fine sense of taste in seasoning will make such a salad a creation. Venison is delicious served as a brown stew, Brown it in hot fat in an iron kettle, then simmer with a little broth seasoned with a few finely chopped vegetable like carrot, turnip and onion.

Make in balls and roll in coconut. Put in paper cases. Preserved Ginger.—A delightful substitute for preserved ginger may be made using white carrots or the yeh low if the white are not obtainable^ they will taste as good but not loolc as much like the real ginger. Boll the carrots for ten minutes, then scrape off the outside layer and quarter them lengthwise, cut in quarterinch lengths, discarding the points and core. Boll until tender, changing the water several times to remove the carrot flavor. To one pound of carrots so prepared add two pounds of sugar, one quart of water, two ounces of green ginger root shaved fine and the grated rind und Juice of one lemon. Boll for fifteen minutes. Repeat for four successive days until the sirup is thick. Dry ginger may be used if the green is unobtainable, this roust be put into a bag fine enough to keep the grains from escaping.

THE USELESSNESS OF WANT The fear frequently expressed that tbia country may come to want should be perfectly useless fear. There is no logical reason why the United States should not produce ample for her own wants and the needs of her allies. We have the land upon which to grow the crops and a climate that renders any- • thing approaching a crop failure an ; imposaibilety. All that remains is for | the^American 'people to apply them- : selves to the task. But it is at this point that the trouble arises. $ For several decades , now the • people have been gradually deserting I agriculture for the industrial pursuits. i Agriculture has been at a discount and the farmer regarded as somewhat i inferior clay. Thousands of young me?, if not trained in the profession, , adopted the mechanical trades till the farms have become almost deserted, The result was only to be expected, 1 and naturely the industrial ranks were : unduly^, swelled at the same time. Nothing save thej over-abundance of ' mechanical labor is respcnsiable for fhe fjreat labor diaturbanc" of the past half century. Labor ir. ar:y line, when .t becorr.c:- too plentiful, must either rr^crt to oonipetition it. order to Kurvieve. In this|i;;star.( e it chose ' union, and thi.- result we have se.:\ i From this time on, there should be a systematic effort on the part of the | great labor unions to curtail the number of recruits to their rahks. Young men should be diacourageti from deserting the farms to engage in the trades. The farm3 need* them and should have them, There ia room for several millions more young I men on the farms of this country, and then the land wouldfnot,be overcrowded. A more equitable digtribution of labor would result In great good~to all , parties concerned. The farms would benefit by the added forces, while the trades would benefit no less by the withdrawal of a surplus of labor that is an endlesB sourse^of .^trouble and strife. We have reached a point when a great readjustment is up to the leaders "f the labor world. We,are told,the allies' greatest nc<,d us big guns. ;Weil, we ought to be able to furnish them with, ail the "big guns'\they need. We've been hearing them roar here all our lives.

SELECTS TO GET COMMISSIONS N a m e * of a Number of Drafted Men a t Camp Cueter Entered for Officers' Training Course. Lana la*. The delegates to the State Association of Farmers' clubs, who attended the meeting at Lansing last week, pledged complete support of the farm era they represented, to all the national administration's programs, including food conservation and increased acreage. A number " of speakers severely scored thte farmers for the part they have thus far taken in war prepara tions. George W. McCormick, of Menominee, head of the sugar plant there, and a member of the food preparedness committee, told of the arguments he and others had met with last spring when trying to convince farmers to increase acreage. "I hope that the man or men who run that campaign next year will not have to hear from the farmers the two cries we heard—shortage of labor for harvest and an uncertain price," said Mr. McCormick. "Put in the crops, and we will see to it somehow that they are harvested. And you must, we all must, stop this silly talk about how much we are going to ge: for things. A man after this war is over will not be measured by dollars and cents, but by the service he has rendererd to his country." Governor Sleeper, Rev. Orlo J. Price, of Lansing, and President R. S. Wilbur, of Leland Stanford university, all called particular attention to some charge which had bpen made against the rural citizen for his "slackness' in war assistance. Then the delegates turned in and pledged th^tr unswerving loyalty t) the government. Y. M. C. A. Popular Spot at Cueter. The second monthly report of the army Y. M. C. A. in Camp Custer demonstrates in figures the place which this organization holds in the daily Ufa of the 25,000 recruits who call this home. No mere report can tell of the place which the army "Y" holds in the heart* of the men, of the unnumbered kindnesseb which it performs and of the value of the home atmospheie which it fosters and preserves. But the Y. M. C. A. executive board feels that it owe* the public an accounting of its stewardship and has arrange-J to render (monthly accounts of ita activities. During November the estimated attendance in all huts waa 648,170. There were 23 lectures, attended by 6,444. At 97 educational classes 6,361 were present. Three educational clubs were formed and 3,282 books were loaned. At the different athletic exercises there were on hand 16,441. In all, 55 religious meetings were held with an attendance of 14,723. At 74 bible classes 2,226 were present. Secretaries distributed 1,656 copies of the scriptures, while there were 912 personal Christian interviews. From these talks 259 Christian decisions resulted. At the 47 entertainments. 18,321 were cared for. To the 77 movie shows were attracted 40,866. In the auditorium were held eight religious meetings, with an attendance of 7,700, while 7,879 attended 10 social entertainments. The secretaries sold $45,- 580 in money orders and 551,701 letters .vere wrftten. Cutter Has Over 100 Bakers. One uf the most persistent lies circulated about Camp Custer has been that the men were underfed and that in order to get a good meal they must purchase it themselves. As good bread is one of the most essential food properties, it may be interesting to read ot its making in camp: A company of 101 men, known as the Three Hundred and Tenth Bakery company, have charge of the bakery and do all the work. With the exception of a few apprentices the men are all experienced bakers. The recipe is not a military secret alleged j a n d m a y interest some of the moth- ! ers of the state. The following figures are given: 450 pound of flour, 30 gallons of water, 5 pounds of lard, 5Vi pounds of salt, 5¼ pounds of sugar and 5½ pounds of compressed yeast. This may be halved or doubled as desired. These ingredients are placed in 8elects W i l l Get Commissions. As Camp Custer progresses, the fact becomes more evident that several hundred men who came to the canton j three barrel mixing machines, operatment as selected soldiers will emerge ; ed by electricity, From there the as commissioned officers and that, efficiency will be otherwise rewarded throughout the Eighty-fifth division. Each company and battery commander has a man or two whom he has recommended for the third officers' training camp, which will be opened at Camp Custer early next months, on the plan followed a'. Plattsburg, Fort Sheridan, and other officers' camps. There are scores oi men in camp who either attended Fort Sheridan and failed to land co-n missions or who were candidates and, for one reason or another failed to be ordered to the school. Announcement is also made that dough goes to the ovens. There are three of these ovens, each capable of turning out 5,000 two.pound loaves every 24 hours, grving the entire battery a capacity of 15,000 loaves a day. It takes one hour and 15 minutes from the time the loaves are placed in the oven until they coma out nicely browned. After the baking comes the drying room, where the loavea are placed on great trucks in neat rows along the shelves on the Bide, and kept 24 hours before being issued to regimental supply officers. Army medical men say K must be that old to digest easily. A noticeable feature .of the bakery many graduates of colleges teaching I 1B its sanitary arrangements. Members engineering or of special technical schools, will be allowed to shake their 'rookie' uniforms for officers' toggery, goon after the first of the year. An examination has been arranged 'or January 21, to which technical grad uates are eligible and the winners will be at once commissioned second lieutenants In the engineering corps. The Three Hundred and Tenth en gineer regiment has a particularly large number of men who are techni cal graduates and who landed In this regiment because their card indexes revealed the fact. Percentage of Rejections High. Figures compiled at the office of the surgeon of the Eighty-fifth division show that nearly 15 per cent of tho | United 8tate8, *ith i e s g than 80 comof the company are under constant surveillance of medical officers. The buildings are new. Scrubbing brushes and lye water keep them clean. The men are not permitted to smoke in the building, and the recept -acles with which the dough and bread come in contact are kept free from dust and dirt. The bakery also turns out pies and cakes. These are baked in field ovens, of which there are three. Each oven can bake 1,000 pies daily. Custer Is Healthiest Camp. Figures from the base hospital at Camp Custer show that Camp Custer holds the high health percentage record of the army cantonmenta of the selected men sent to Camp Custer In the last contingent will be rejected because of physical defectR. These figures must not be taken to Indicate that the rejected men are in municable diseases under treatment. This condition is a particularly gratifying piece of news at present because of reports from southern camp*, where climatic conditions are supvalid& or in most cases incapacitated i posed to be ideal, that epidemics oi from performing such labors as they measles are being followed by pneumay select, but they do sharply define ! monia, with many fatalities. that only the most perfect specimens ^ There were only eight cases of of manhood will be trained for overseas duties in the first, divisions. A percentage of these men sent home will later be called to the colors, either because they take measures to remedy the defects which pneumonia in camp last week, and 67 mild cases of measles. On the records are also placed ttx cases of smallpox and sit of scarlet fever with about 20 of mumps. In all there were only 534 patient! barred them at this time, or became, i in the hospital. About 250 of these .-».* KM. *i-V .'«,. the standard will be lowered when the pick of the country has been taken. Many of the men require minor operations only to perfect them for service, but only In rare cases are these being performed by surgeons here, Many of the larger hospitals of the country are performing the operations flrse»_ It may be said Sow that some of tbe pmSfcifiiif IWKt were defective Mtfgat, tuberculosis, syphilis and •sinitittsu *1T-*^-«*«— and other •tlecs *e*ere, are c*ri& from colds and minor accidents. Division Surgeon Bartlett attributes these excellent records to several different causes. First, die wooden barracks are better ventilated and there is more space for each soldier than in the canvas cantonments of the south. Further, the division surgeon'i office recommended to the war depart* ment that the second contingent ol selected men be not sent until the heat units were ready and sufficient cloth* lng was on hand. This resulted in • delay from October I until November IS, but unquestionably prevented mnoh sickness. ONE MICHIGAN MAN LOST WITH WARSHIP U. 3. DESTROYER JACOB JONE8 TORPEDOED A N D SUNK BY GERMAN SUBMARINE. SIXTY-SIX OF CREW PERISH The Jacob Jones, One of the Newest Destroyers In Service, Is First U. S. Warship Sunk By U-Boat. Washington—One Michigan man was among the lost when the American destroyer Jacob Jones was torpedoed and %unk in the war zone on December 6. According to reports received from Admiral Sims, the total loss of life waa one line officer and 65 enlisted men. Forty-four officers and men are reported saved. Lieut. Commander David Worth Bagley, brother of Mrs. Josephus Daniels, wife of the scretary of the navy, and whose brother was the only American officer to give his life in the Spanish- American war is reported among those rescued. The first list of survivors • did not include his name and it was feared that he went down with his ship. Admiral Sim's report said that Commander Bagley and five other men saved with him got away in a motor boat and were picked up and landed uninjured at the Scilly islands. The other survivors were saved by life rafts and were later picked up by two other ships, the names of which were not giv^en in the report. The Michigan man reported lost is Henry P. Anderson, gunner's mate Belding. Those lost: coming from central states and near Michigan, were: Emmett: Roscoe Smith, machinist's mate, Toledo, O. James Alva Francis, electrician, Osgood, Ind. Leland McKeand Highet, seaman, ! Spencer, Ind. j Ensign Nelson N. Gates and Edward Meier, water tender, both from Bay City, were saved. The attack was made at 4:12 in the afternoon and the ship sunk in exactly 17 minutes. The submarine was not seen until after the attack. Then, when it was plain that the destroyer was helpless, ' and sinking rapidly, the U-boat came to the surface and stood off watching. The American seamen were launch- ! ing their life rafts, but some of the ! men either jumped overboard or fell into the water. It was one of these that the U-boat, making slow headway through the scene of the wreckage, picked up and took aboard. Later the submarine again submerged and made off with the American sailor. The Jacob Jones, one of the largest and newest American submarine chesers of her type operating in the Atlantic, was the first American warship to fall victim to a German submarine, and the second American destroyer to be lost in foreign waters. Bay %City—Ensign Nelson N. Gates one of the survivors of the destroyer Jacob Jones, is a grandson of Mrs. S. G. M. Gates, of Bay City. Prior to the death of his parents his home was in Bay City. His father was a commander in the navy prior to his death. SNOW AND COLD HIT MICHIGAN All Parts of State Report Snow— Coal Lack Causes Suffering. Bay City—Edward Meier, who is reported saved from the Jacob Jones, is a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Meier, of Monroe street ,this city. He was chief water tender on the destroyer. He : wa8 born in 1891 and first enlisted in \ the navy in 1909 and re-enlisted for the third time last April. Grand Rapids—The report that Harry P. Anderson of R. F. D. No. 16, Belding, Mich., was on the United States destroyer Jacob Jones, sunk by a submarine, is believed to refer to Henry Anderson, 24, of Belding. He joined the navy six years ago. Lansing.—The snowstorm and cold spell, which struck the state Saturday, has caused a great deal of suffering on account of the coal shortage in many cities and towns. The storm was general throughout the state, all parts reporting a heavy fall. Trains were hours late and as a result transportation has been badly demoralized. Telegrams, telephone calls, letters and even delegations from nearby cities have swataped the office of W. K. Prudden, state fuel administrator, ever since last Saturday when the predictions of steady sero weather were flashed over the state.. It is hoped that the diversion of coal from Ohio railroads, as promised by the federal fuel adnrifttitration, will relieve conditions in the stat Michigan News 5 Tersely Told Hichmond.—Wallace Youngs, a Memphis stock buyer and shipper, suffered a compound fracture of his right leg when his rig overturned a.^ he was making & quick turn in pursuing cattle. ' Muskegon.—Elmer Waldorf, separated from his wife for several weeks, visited her, having with him when he came, a vial of carbolic acid, a revolver, a box of shells and a butcher knife. Officers arrested him. Dowagiac.—The 60 guests attending the eighty-fourth birthday dinner of Mrs. Charlotte Cowham, of Volinia township, included all of her 13 children. Mrs. Cowham was born in Lincolnshire, England, in 1833 and was married in 1853. Port Huron.—Three guards who were detailed to protect the water works plant here were found asleep by Chief of Police Chambers. The officer fired a revolver near the men, but they continued to slumber. The men were discharged. Owos80.—The United Dairies company, co-operative concern which has secured control of the retail milk business here, has boosted the price two cents a quart, making it 12 cen:s. Officers of the dairy company, which is composed mostly of farmers, say the inerease is due to an increase in the price paid to the producers. St. Johns.—Lewis Allvater was horsewhipped by a company of masked men near his home, five miles east of this city, for alleged pro-German statements. The men drove to his house in automobiles and after whipping him, compelled him to salute the flag. Allvater has two sons in the army, on«j at Camp Custer, the other at Waco. Benton Harbor.—Mrs. Gerald Handy narrowly escaped serious injury when her husband, driving their automobile, was stricken with apoplexy. Mrs. Handy noticed the car veering off the read and set the brake, finding Mr. Handy unconscious in his seat He died three hours later. Mr. and Mrs. Handy were on their way to the hospital to see their son, who had lost hia arm in an accident a few days ago. Ludington.—The Stearns Salt i- Lumber company is enlarging its salt blocks at cost of half million dollars, bringing capacity to million barrels annually, or equal to that of the Marton Salt company. Ludington with L<\ output of 2,000,000 barrels yearly will then rank first among American cities in Bait production. Battle Creek.—Because he stole back money which Jeff Mitchell had won from him, Ernest Sanders, colored, must serve nine months in Jackson. Sanders alleges that Mitchell, who is also colored, won his money as fast as he could earn it and that the only way he could live was to steal it back. Sanders is 18 years old. Port Huron.—Norman Schmidt and Burr Mason, 15-year-old Detroiters, aren't going to be Indian hunters any more. Arriving in this city on their way to the badlands of the north, the boys lost all desire to battle the redskins when a policeman took them in custody as they were pitching their camp in Pine Grove park. Burr's father, W. J. Mason, took the two movio fans back to Detroit. They con fessed that three visits in succession to the same show had proved too much. Pontiac.—Hunters nearly killed the conductor of a Grand Trunk train passing the Franklin road. A ball grazed the man's ear as it passed through the caboose. Saginaw.—Citizens have raised a fund of $10,000 with which Liberty bonds have been purchased, as a memorial to Don McGee, the local aviator, who was drowned in Lake St. Clair two months ago. Interest from the fund will send one student to school each year.- Jackson.—James Eickler, Calhoun county convict, was shot five times by B. H. Hunter, a guard, when he attempted to escape with two other inmates over the east wall of the state prison. Neither of the other men were shot, as they gave up the attempt when discovered. St. Clair.—Joseph Bearge, 17 years old, was drbwned in Belle river, and Elden Rose, 14 years old, had a narrow escape, when both boys broke through the ice while skating. Charles Van Buskirk tossed a rope to the Rose boy and pulled him to ahore. Beargeon's body was recovered.

"James," said she, "describe to me the route you would take if you were going to Bermuda." "Yes, ma'am," returned Jimmy, a little doubtfully.

CHAPTER Ill—Continued. "No," said Prudence slowly, with a <vhlte face. "We'll postpone It. I won't get married without the whole family." "I said right from the start—" "Oh, yes, Fairy, we know what you said," Interjected Carol. "We know how you'll get married. First man that gets moonshine enough into his head to propose to you, you'll trot him post haste to the justice before he thinks twice." In the end, the wedding was postponed a couple of months—for both Connie and Fairy took the measles. But when at last the wedding party, marshaled by Connie with a huge white basket of flowers, trailed down the time-honored aisle of the Methodist church, it was without one dissenting voice pronounced the crowning achievement of Mr. Starr's whole pastorate. "I was proud of us, Lark," Carol told her twin, after it was over, and Pruttence had gone, and the girls had wept themselves weak on each other's shoulders, "We get so In the habit of doing things wrong that I half expected myself to . pipe up ahead of father with the ceremony. It seems— awful—without Prudence—but It's a satisfaction to know that she was the best-married bride Mount Mark has ever seen." "Jerry looked awfully handsome, didn't he? Did you notice how he glowed at Prudence? I wish you were arllstic, Carol, so you could illustrate my books. Jerry'd make a fine illustration." "We looked nice, too. We're not a bad-looking bunch, when you come right down to facts. Of course It Is fin»- to be as smart as you are, Larkle, but I'm not Jealous. We're mighty lucky to have both beauty and brains In «»ur twinship—and since one can't have both, I may say I'd just as lief be pretty. It's so much easier." "Carol !" "What?" "We're nearly grown tip now. We'll have to begin to settle down. Prudence says so." For a few seconds Carol wavered, tremulous. Then she said plucklly, "All right Just wait titt I powder my nooe, will you? It gets so shiny when I cry." "Carol!" ••What?" "Isn't the house still?" "Yes—ghastly." MI never thought Prudence was much of a chatterbox, but—listen! There isn't a sound." Carol held out a hand, and Lark clutched it desperately. "Let's—let's go find the folks. This Is awful I Little old Prudence Is gone!" CHAPTER IV. The Serenade. <L subject that never failed to arouse the sarcasm and the Ire of Fairy was that of the Slaughterhouse quartet This was composed of four young men—men quite outside the pale as far as the parsonage was concerned— the disreputable characters of the com* munity, familiar in the local Jail for frequent bursts of Intoxication. They slouched, they smoked, they lounged, tWy leered. The churches knew them n e t They were (he slum element the Bftwery of Mount Mark, Iowa. Prudence, in her day, had passed tfem by with a shy, slight nod and 4 glance of tender pity. Fairy and Lark, and even Connie, sailed by with high heads and scornful eyes — haughty? proud, i d l y removed. But Carol, by some weird and inexplicable fancy, treated them with sweet and gracious solicitude, quite friendly. Her smile aa she passed was as sweet as for her dearest friend. Her "Good ,'t this glorious weather V ily cordial as her "Break' ^ ' v t ^ m ' M s ? the-one subject of dispute between the twins. "Oh, please don't Carol, it does makft ma so ashamed,*' Lark entreated, •Too mustn't be narrow-minded, Larkle,**- Carol argued- "We're minis* t e r f glrla, and we've got to be a good toflnence—an encouragement to the— f trvweafe a n d erring, yon know. Maybtf o^jM"***(r CAROL'S "UPLIFTING" WORK AMONG THE ERRING HAS AN AMUSING ENDING—THE BISHOP AND THE PASTOR MAKE SOME STRANGE ACQUAINTANCES Synopsis.—The story opens la the home of the Kev. Mr. Starr where Prudence, his eldest daughter and feminine head of the house, consisting of her father, herself, her sister Fairy, the twins—Carol and Lark—and Connie, the youngest, are awaiting the arrival of their aunt Grace. Liveliness of the smaller members of the family results disastrously for their appearance. Carol and Lark lnvestlgUe Christian Science. Prudence postpones her wedding when Carol catches measles. ?fi£ my amllea Win be an Inspiration to them.** -;'.' / And on t h i s point Carol stood firm * w - .:•: . . - , / - even against the tears of her precious twin. One evening at the dinner table Fairy said, with a mocking smile, "How are your Slaughter-house friends today, Carol? I see by last night's paper that Guy Flelsher is Just out after his last thirty days up. Did he find his incarceration trying?" "I didn't discuss it with him," Carol said indignantly. "I never talk to them. I Just say 'Good morning' in Christian charity." Aunt Grace's eyes were smiling as always, but for the first time Carol felt that the smiles were at, instead of with, her. "You would laugh to see her, Aunt Grace," Fairy explained. "They are generally half intoxicated, sometimes wholly. And Carol trips by, clean, white and shining. They are always lounging against the store windows or posts for support, bleary-eyed, dissipated, swaggery, staggery. Carol nods and smiles as only Carol can. 'Good morning, boys! Isn't this a lovely day? Are you feeling well?' And they grin at her and sway ingratiatingly against one another, and say, 'Mornln', Carol.' Carol is -the only really decent person in town that has anything to do with them." "Carol means all right," declared Lark angrily. "Yes, Indeed," assented Fairy. 'They call them the Slaughter-house quartet, auntie, because whenever they are sober enough to walk without police assistance, they wander through the streets slaughtering the peace and serenity of the quiet town with their rendition of all the late, disgraceful sentimental ditties. They are in many ways striking characters. I do not wholly misunderstand their attraction for romantic Carol. They are something like the troubadours of o l d - only more so." Carol's face was crimson. "I don't like them," she cried, "but I'm sorry for them. I want to show them that the decent element, we Christians, are Borry for them and want to make them better." "Carol wants to be an influence," Fairy continued. "Of course it is a little embarrassing for the rest of us to have her on such friendly terms with the most unmentionable characters In all Mount Mark. But Carol Is like so mauy reformers—in the presence of one great truth she has eyes for it only, ignoring a thousand other, greater truths." "I am sorry for them," Carol repeated, more weakly abashed by the presence of the united family. Fairy's dissertations on this subject had usually occurred In privpte. Mr. Starr mentally resolved that he would talk this over with Carol when the others were not present, for he knew from her face and her voice that she was really sensitive on the subject. And he knew, too, that It is difficult to explain to the very young that the finest of ideas are not applicable to all cases by all people. But it happened that he was spared the necessity of dealing with Carol privately, for matters adjusted themselves without his assistance. The second night following was an eventful one In the parsonage. One of the bishops of the church was in Mount Mark for a business conference with the religious leaders, and was to spend the night at the parsonage. The meeting was called for eight-thirty for the convenience of the business men concerned, and was to be held In the church offices. The men left early, followed shortly by Fairy, who designed to spend the evening at the Averys' home, testing their supply of winter apples. The twins and Connie, with the newest and most thrilling book Mr. Carnegie afforded the town, went upstairs to He on the bed and take turns reading aloud. And for a few hours the parsonage was as calm and peaceful as though It were not designed for the housing of merry minister's daughters. Aunt Grace sat downstairs darning stockings. The girls' intentions had been the best in the world, but in less than a year the family darning had fallen entirely into the capable and willing hands of the gentle chaperon. It was half past ten. And suddenly, from beneath the peach trees clustered on the south side of the parsonage, a burst of melody arose. • "Good morning, Carrie, how are you this morning7" The girls sat up abruptly, staring at one another, as the curious, ugly song wafted in upon them. Conviction dawned slowly, sadly, but unquestionably. \ The Slaughter-house quartet was serenading Carol in return for her winsome smiles 1 Carol herself was literally struck dumb. Her face grew* crimson, then white. In her heart she repeated psalms of thanksgiving that. Fairy was away, and that her father and the bishop would not be in until this colossal disaster was over. Connie was mortified. It seemed like a wholesale parsonage Insult. Lark, after the first awful realization, lay back on the bed and rolled convulsively. The rollicking strains of "Budweiser" were swung gayly out upon the night. Carol writhed In anguish. The serenade was bad enough, but this unmerciful mocking derision of her adored twin was unendurable. Then the quartet waxed sentimental. They sang, and not badly, a few old Southern melodies, and started slowly around the corner of the house, still singing. It has been said that Aunt Grace was always kind, always gentle, unsuspicious and without guile. She had heard the serenade, and promptly concluded that it was the work of some of the high-school boys, who were unanimously devoted to Carol. She had a big box of chocolates upstairs, for Connie's birthday celebration. She could get them and make lemonade and— She opened the door softly and stepped out, directly In the path of the startled youths. Full of her hospitable intent, she was not discerning as parsonage people need to be. "Come in, boys," she said cordially. "the girls will be down In a minute." The appearance of a guardian angel summoning them to paradise could not have confounded them more utterly. They stumbled nil over one another in trying to back away from her. She laughed softly. "Don't be bashful. We enjoyed it very much. Yes. come right in." Undoubtedly they would have declined if only they could have thought of the proper method of doing so. As it was, they only succeeded In shambling through the parsonage door, instinctively concealing their halfsmoked cigarettes beneath their fingers. Aunt Grace ushered them into the pleasant living room, nnd ran up to summon her nieces. Left alone, the boys looked at one another with amazement and with grief, and the leader, the touching tenor, said with true musical fervor, "Well, this is a go!" In the meantime, the girls, with horror, had heard their aunt's Invitation. What In the world did she mean? Was it a trick beween her and Fairy? Had they.hired the awful Slaughterers to bring this disgrace upon the parson age? Sternly they faced her when she opened their door. •'Come down, girls—I Invited them In. I'm going to make lemonade and serve my nice chocolates. Hurry down." "You Invited them in!" echoed Connie. "The Slaughter-house quartette," hissed Lark. Then Aunt Grace whirled about and stared at them. "Mercy!" she whispered, remembering for the first time Fairy's work. "Mercy! Is it—that? I thought it was high school boys and —mercy I" "Mercy is good!" said Carol grimly. "You'll have to put them out," suggested Connie. "I can't! How can I?—How did I know?—what on earth— Oh. Carol whatever made you smile at them?" she wailed helplessly. "You know how men are when they are smiled a t ! The bishop—" "You'll have to get them out before the bishop comes back," said Carol. "You must. And if any of you ever give this away to father or Fairy m—" "You'd better go down a minute, girls," urged their aunt. "That will be the easiest way. I'll Just pass the candy and invite them to come again and then they'll go. Hurry now, and we'll get rid of them before the others come. Be as decent as you can, and It'll soon be over." Thus adjured, with the dignity of the bishop and the laughter of Fairy ever In their thoughts, the girls arose and went down, proudly, calmly, loftily. Their Inborn •senses of humor came to their assistance when they entered the living room. The Slaughter boys looked far more* slaughtered than slaughtering. They sat limply In their chairs, nervously twitching their yellowed slimy fingers, their dull eyes Intent upon the worn spots In the carpet It was funny ! Even Carol Muneil, HOC the serene smeet smile that melted hearts, but the grim hard smile of the Joker when the tables are turned ! She flattered herself that this wretched travesty on parsonage courtesy would be ended before there were any further witnesses to her downfall from her proud tine heights, but she was doomed to disappointment. Fairy, on the Averys' porch, had heard the sere nade. After the first shock, and after the helpless laughter that followed, she bade her friends good night. "Oh, I've Just got to go," she said. "It's a Joke on Carol. I wouldn't mlw it for twenty-five bushels of apples— even us good as these are." Her eyes twinkling with delight, she ran home and waited behind the rose bushes until the moment for her appearance seemed at hand. Then she stepped into the room where her outraged sisters were stoically passing precious and luscious chocolates to tobacco- saturated youths. "Good evening," "she said. "The Averys and I enjoyed the concert, too. I do love to hear .music outdoors on still nights like these. Carol, maybe your friends would like a drink. Are there any lemons, auntie? We might have a little lemonade." Carol writhed helplessly. 'Til make it." she said, and rushed to the kitchen to vent her fury by shaking the very life out of the lemons. But she did not waste time. Her father's twinkles were nearly as bad as Fairy's own—and the bishop ! "I'd wish it would choke 'em if it wouldn't take so long," she muttered passionately, as she hurried in with the pitcher nnd glasses, ready to serve the "slums" with her own chaste hands. She was Just serving the melting tenor when she heard hi*r father's voice In the hall. "Too late," she said aloud, and with such despair !n her voice that Fairy relented and mentally promised to "see her through." Mr. Starr's eyes twinkled freely when he saw the guests in his home, and the gentle bishop's puzzled interest nearly sent th-em all off into laughter. Pairy had no Idea of the young men's names, but she said, quickly, to spare Carol: "We have been serenaded tonight, doctor—you just missed It. These are the Mount Mark troubadours. You are lucky to get here In time for the lemonade." But when she saw the bishop glance concernedly from the yellow fingers to the dull eyes and the brown-streaked mouths, her gravity nearly forsook her. The Slaughterers, already dashed to the ground by embarrassment, were entirely routed by the presence of the bishop. With Incoherent apologies, they rose to their unsteady feet and in a cloud of breezy odors, made their escape. Mr. Starr laughed a little, Aunt Grace put her arm protectlngly about Carol's rigid shoulders, and the blsliop said, "Well, well, well," with gentle inquiry. "We call them the Slaughter-house quartette," Fairy began cheerfully. "They are the lower strata of Mount Mark, and they make the nights hideous with their choice selection of popular airs. The parsonage la divided about them. Some of us think we should treat them with proud and cold disdain. Some think we should regard them with a tender, gentle, er- - smiling pity. And evidently they pppreclated the smiles, for taey gave us a serenade in return for them. A.:.nt Grace did not know their history so she Invited them In, thinking they Mere Just ordinary schoolboys. It is home mission work run aground." The bishop nodded sympathetically "One has to be so careful," he said. "So extremely careful with characters like those. No doubt they meant well by their serenade, but—girls especially have to be very careful. I think as a rule it is safer to let men show the tender pity nnd women the fine ells-- daln. I don't Imagine they would come serenading your father and me! You carried It off beautifully, girls. I am sure your father was proud of you. I was myself. I'm glad you are Methodists. Not many girls so young could handle a difficult matter as neatly as you did." "Yes," said Mr. Starr, but his eyei twinkled toward Carol once more; "yes, Indeed, I think we are well cleared of a disagreeable business." But Carol looked at Fairy with such humble, passionate gratitude that tear? came to Fairy's eyes and she turned quickly away. "Carol Is a sweet girl," she thought "I wonder if things will work out foi her Just right—to make her as happ> as she ought to be. She's so—lovely.' Carol goes to the assistance of Lark when dire tribulations threaten—* near-painful Incident becomes a comedy. (TO BE CONTINUED.) To Win a Friend.

"Nations, as well as individuals, are accepting the unquestioned nervous damage of alcohol," says Kr. Robert S. Carroll In his book, "The Mastery of Nervousness." Many appalling and distorted statements have been made ! to frighten the drinker from his cups. But It would seem that when a com- : mittee appointed by a government to i investigate the harmful effects of alcohol reports that the drinker's life Is shortened 25 minutes by every glass of alcoholic liquor, even the reckless ; would hesitate. Six years are knocked off the earthly existence of the average drinker. The tippler answers that it is his own life that he Is shortening, and if he pleases so to live and die, he alone Is hurt. There is an- 1 other thing to be considered : ! "Three out of four of the offspring of average drinkers show Inherited defects, chiefly of the nervous system. Many an Intense, unhappy, miserable, high-strung neurotic of today is the defective daughter of a genial, \ Jovial, easy-going, old-school gentleman whose mint Juleps of good-fellowship burn hot in the brains of his children. Numbers of fearsome epileptics go through lives of fierce unceri tainty, the unhappy products of a i single ancestral spree. These Innocent victims are condemned, before birth, to live with nervous systems attuned to discord, capable of express- \ ing life only through minor strains. hopelessly deficient—pitiable, de» ' pressed, morbid, blighted lives." THE WINNING ARGUMENT. "It is Idle to argue from prophecy when we may argue from history," pithily said Sidney Lanier. What has really happened as the result of dry law Is of more value as prohibition argument than all the prognostications of liquor advocates in and for territory now wet. In a recent campaign Issue the Union Signal gives column after column to this worthwhile history argument. First-hand testimony from 14 dry states (there was no space for more) proves that prohibition Is a boon and a blessing, socially and economically; that it increases man power and money power. "The success argument," says the editor, "is the winning factor in present-day prohibition campaigns. It effectually silences the llquorltes." That argument Is abundantly supplied by enthusiastic statements continually given out by governors, attorney generals, mayors, sheriffs, bankers, by business managers, labor commissioners, and prominent residents of prohibition states. DRY BITS. Grammar a la prohibition: Dry: Comparative. Dryer: Superlative. Bone dry: In 1920 the United States will be In the superlative condition. The constitution of the Unitedi States gives to each man the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The liquor Institution sends m a n ' t o death, slavery and the pursuit of wretchedness. St, Paul wrote to Timothy to use a little wine for his stomach's sake. A good many Timothys since then have too eagerly followed this advice an/ have gone to seed. LIQUOR AND LABOR. A department superintendent of one of the big tire factories In Akron, P „ uses 80 men In each shift. They are making gas masks, miners' respirators, and other vital war material. That department Is working only two shifts a day instead of three, because of the scarcity of labor. They pay off on Friday. On one Saturday only six of the sixty men in one shift reported for work. "Ninety per cent of our labor troubles are due to booze," says this superintendent. If the government would shut down on the liquor traffic we could increase our output enormously. There Is no lack of labor. The only trouble Is fd keep it working full time." PA88INQ OP T H E PENITENTIARY. Citizens of Colorado are Inquiring what is to become of the state penitentiary a few years hence. Despite the increase In population the prison quota, Warden Tynan says, has been reduced since prohibition wont Ir.to effect at the rate of ten a month. Should this same ratio be maintained the penitentiary will be emptied in less than six years. Other dry states face similar situations. If yftTHfi^ were not providing for federal prisoners and frlsoners from other states, most of her penal institutions would be closing up. ^ . - ^ K-:^-rl*?

Father Kelley who^was then stationed at Dexter, ft. Keney visited Pinckney and vicinity once a'Baenth and read mass in four different houses in the parish, viz., James Hughs in the village, Henry -larris and Martin Harris in Putnam township and Thomas Daly in Hamburg township. Father Kelly was succeeded in 1860 by Father Pulser, who attended Pinckney for about six months. Then came Rev, James VanGennups, who^read mass once a month in the homes of Henry Harris and Christopher Monks in Ptatnasn township, and once every three months at Peter Morgan's in . ^ Unaddhvtownship and at James Mui-fjj gravo's in the township of Marion. FT. VanGennups built the first church, which is still in use, in 1867. It is a modest brick structure with a seating capacity of 400. In 1874 Fr. VanGennups was succeeded by Rev. Timothy Slattery; who attended Pinckney; saying mass en the third Sunday, from 1874 to 1880, with the exception of two years, 1875-76, when his place was filled by Father Herbert. Fr. Slattery had charge of Dexter as a parish, with Pinckney, Chelsea and Bunker Hill as missions. In 1880 Father Dooig was appointed pastor of Chelsea and was given charge of Pinckney and Bunker Hill FT. Dooig was succeeded in 1885 by Rev- William P. Considine as pastor of Chelsea and missions. During the ten years that he had charge of Pinckney, Fr. Considine did noble work, especially in the cause of temperance. He also beautified the church by adding a sacristy and two side altars in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary and S t Joseph In 1835 Rev. Michael J. Comerford came to Pinckney as its first resident pastor. He had Bunker Hilf for a mission for several years. While pastor of Pinckney he erected a beautitul pa* .oral res'dence.

HUNTING ACCIDENTS FAIL OFF Only Eight Deaths Recorded During Open Season—Violations of Game Laws Alee Fewer. Lansing. Diners at 2,000 Michigan hotels and restaurants since the advent of "wheatless" and "meatless" days sre savins tor the soldier boys &nd °W Allies at the rate of 4,000,000 pounds of wheat flour a year and 5,000,000 pound* of meat There are 3,000 hotels and restaurants in the state, bat 1,000 of them have so far failed to sign the Hoover pledge card. Hence, reports of what they are doing are not obtainable. Reports of the 2,000 hotels and restaurants tnat are obeying the augges tlon of Federal Administrator Hoover have been coming to State Administrator Prescott for several days. Two hundred Buch reports on meat were taken and tabulated. They showed that in 100 hotels and restaurants, scattered widely as to location and class, during the first month of the campaign, there was saved 42,591 pounds of meat. For the whole 2,000 the saving would be 425,910 pounds. Multiplying this estimate by 12 would give the yearly saving at the astounding figure of 5,110,920 pounds, or 2,- 565 tons. On the wheat-saving the first 10 were tabulated. They showed a saving of 15,848 pounds of wheat flour, which would make 316,960 pounds for the entire 2,000 pledged establishments. For the year this would mean a saving in them alone of 3.803,520 pounds, or more than 1,900 tons. While these figures are merely estimates, in the opinion of the state food authorities they are more than fairly accurate. The hotels and restaurants taken were of such a diversified character as to indicate that all would follow about the same ratio in the long run. Hunting Accidents Decrease. Eight hunters lost tbeir lives and many others were seriously injured in Michigan during the 1917 hunting sea son The record of casualties is less than 60 per cent of the normal of any year since 1905. Last year (here were 13 fatalities in northern Michigan woods. The year before there were 15. This year, owing to precautions urged by the game department and by the press, hunters in general exercised greater care. The wearing of red caps and other brightly colored clothing probably saved many lives. Only three hunters have been reported killed by other hunters. In every other case the hunter was injured through his own carelessness. The game reported killed does not approach that reported for many years past, probably because snow did not come until near the end of the season. Game wardens say there have been few violations or attempted violations of the game laws this year, probably because of activities of the state department and of sportsmen's clubs. State Valuation Is $4,000,000,000. State and county taxes In Michigan which became due and pay. able December 1, are assessed on the largest valuation of real and personal property the state has ever known. As compiled from the reports of the county assessors in ail counties by the state tax commission, the total valuation on all property in the state, real and personal, is $4,022,507,720. Some idea of the enormous Jump can be had from the state meat of the total last year, which was $3.S29,?51,140. The assessors accordingly hare found approximately $400,000,000 more property this year than last Of this increase, about $250,000,000 Mas been added in Wayne county. With the closing of the aaaessment books this fall, there are but 10 or IS counties which hare not been looked oyer by the state authorities and p l a c e * on aa actual cash basis, fn some eoaaties the commission sent men with the supervisors and explained their methods, so that while the eommissloa itself did not do the work, in most isstaace* the totals were what they would have aecsred. The counties which are not yet tip to cash vahif or hare sot been reviewed by the fomwlsatwi ere small, with the exception of Lapeer. This ti the only Urge coast? wbJoh has not been placed on cash basis. Most of Soldiers' Pay Saved. No city In Michigan Is saving so large a. percentage of Its earnings as Is Camp Custer, a "city" of 30,000 men and no women, with an average earning capacity per man considerably below that of any other community of its size. Approximately 75 per cent of the payroll of the camp is saved in one form or another, by men who never before, in the aggregate, have even had a bankbook. So if the army were not a physical and mental uplliter It at least is teaching young America to save, not only in Michigan, but throughout the country. The payroll to enlisted men is about $750,000 a month. That amount Is almost cut in two by the allotments to families and other dependents. This is compulsory. The Custer soldiers subscribed for more than a million dollars in Liberty bonds, payable in 10 monthly installments. That is $100,000 a month, which brings the total balance down to $275,000 after halving It on dependency allowances. The next big item in the saving program is lnsui nee. When the mattei has been properly presented to the men enough will probably, be taken to bring the total of premium payments in camp among the present members to more than $100,000 a month. With that the 75 per cent is passed. So if any parents believe their boys are breaking away from the guiding influences of the Y. M. C. A. and the churches and their officers and are indulging in riotous practices they need only think for a moment to realize that after the month's supply of tobacco and toilet articles and other incidentals which the government doesn't furnish has been purchased there is not much left for frolics along the primrose path. Doctors Urged to Rnllst. Michigan seems destined to succeed to Pennsylvania's proud place as leading the United States In volunteers for the medical reserve corps. More than 600 Michigan physicians have volunteered, 40 additional applications now are under consideration at Washington, and the draft has yielded 100 doctors for the reserve staff. A insistent call from the government for 10,000 more medical men has led to an urgent appeal being sent out to Michigan doctors to apply for comsissions. It is considered imperatlva that all physicians who are physically fit. should make application at once. It is pointed out that after the physician has received his commission and accepted it, there may be a delay of several weeks before he is called into active service, but the war department has given assurance that at least 15 days' notice will intervenue. Some of the training camps for phy sicians will be closed for the winter but will be reopened in the spring, so the surgeon-general's office must have the necessary data in hand within the next few weeks that it may allow sufficient time for the neophytes to put their business in order before doffing mufti for reserve corps regimentals. Foreigners Strong On Insurance. The practice of foreign-born men among Camp Custer soldiers naming as their beneficiaries, when taking out insurance, persons located In Europeon countries, is being discouraged by the divisional insurance bureau. Foreign-born soldiers with relatives still in Europe form almost half the total of the men who up to date have applied for insurance. In a surprisingly large number of cases these foreign beneficiaries are residing in Germany, / tria and Bulgaria, the countries the allies are warring against, and in Poland,, Russia and some of the Balkan states. The objection to these beneficiaries is that in case of the soldier's death it would be difficult, and frequently impossible, to see that the money reached the relatives' hands, in the Jumbled-up conditions that are bound to follow after the-war. Stories of Disease at Waco False. Rumors of epidemics of disease in Camp Mac Arthur which have made many parents write to commanding officers and were responsible for several parents making the long Journey down to Waco are without foundation. So are exaggerated tales of deaths In the camp. Since the base hospital was opened in September, there have been but nine deaths. The population of th* camp is in excess of 26,000 men, the population of the base hospital is approximately 1200. Most of these men are men who are awaiting discharge because they are not efficient enough for soldiers.

Nasturtiums Are Trailers Rather Than Climbers—A Beautiful Showing of the Qraceful Vine. THE BEAUTY OF VINES By JOSEPHINE DE MARFL When In doubt as to what to plant plant vines is sound advice. Vines beautify; they are useful; they are easy to grow. They shade from the hot tun; they hide old or obnoxious features; they encourage the birds to nest about the house; they are the drapery nature throws over and about with a lavish hand to soften and embellish. When preparing to plant vines, be sure to spade deeply, manure heavily, and prepare the soil carefully. After perennial and hardy vines are established it Is difficult to cultivate tbem, therefore, do all you can before planting them. When they begin to "spin" they must have supports, otherwise they will be stunted In growth and unsatisfactory. There are so many beautiful vines among annuals, perennials and hardy vines that it Is hard to decide, if the choice Is at all restricted. If yon wish to blot out an old building, cover it with vines. If you dislike the necessary fence, turn It into a thing of beauty by planting vines along its length. A dead tree renews its youth if vines are allowed to clothe its branches. Let vines shade the porch and thus make It a cool and leafy retreat from the summer's sun. Curtain the shutterless south window with vines and let them grow about the home wherever possible. The grape Is one of the most useful vines. It Is hardy; early in the spring its leaves are ready to cast n shadow. Its blossoms are delicately fragrant and its fruit is delicious. Attention must be given It in the way of fertility, pruning and tying. Among the wild vines the tmmpetvine, Tecoma rndlcans, wild clematis. (virgin's bower), and bitter-sweet are popular. In transplanting the latter from the woods be sure that you procure one that Is fertile, for some of them do not bloom. The Dutchman's pipe is another desirable wild vine, but it is not as common as those mentioned above. The wild climbing rose has an exquisite flower; and, once started, grows shoots ten to fifteen feet high in one season. The climbing roses are led by the rambler, and its hybrids. However, its foliage gets shabby and spoils Its beauty as a porch plant., It makes a brave show when blooming. The good old prafrie queen still continues to be the standard climbing rose. AD the Ayrshire roses are hardy, also the Cherokee roses. The sweet briar, Lord Penzance, Is in a way a climbing rose. The wistarias take a long time to become established, but repay by the blooms. The Madeira vine, mignonette scented, has tuberous roots, which are not hardy, grows fast and forms a fine screen with Its thick, fleshy leaves. The matrimony vine, although Its blooms are small and inconspicuous, grows quickly, throwing out long, graceful sprays that droop to the earth. The moon-vine wants rich earth, plenty of sun and water. It makes astonishing growth in a season. However, for the best results it most be started In the house. Those who want a curious and beautiful flower should plant the passionflower. The hardy varieties need mulching during the winter until well established. The tender passion flowers are very extremely beautiful, but are rather shy bloomers. The honeysuckles are desirable and popular on account of their many good qualities. They grow quickly, forming dense shade and are iron-clad as regards Insects and disease. Hall's Evergreen blooms all summer, and its flowers are delightfully jasmine-scented. It holds Its leaves until spring, almost, and therefore should not be allowed to shade windows which need the winter light The various clematis are all beautiful and desirable climbers. It is not generally known that if Clematis paniculata Is severely cut back after flowering it will form new wood which will bear fine flowers and many of them the next season. Ideal plants for covering brick, stone and rough surfaces are the BIDpelopsis and hedena helix—the true European ivy. The latter prefers a northern exposure as the alternating thawing and freezing of late winter ts apt to kill it if grown where the sun strikes it. The ampelopsis, better known as the Boston ivy or Virginia creeper, is at all times beautiful. Morning glories, cypress vines, sweet peas, gourds, nasturtiums, Japanese hops, with cucumber are among our most desirable annual climbers. Seeds of them do not cost much, and a package of one or the other will yield shade, beauty and grace. The Virginia creeper, the honeysuckle, nasturtiums and moon vines are trailers rather than climbers. Of garden plants the sweet potato and the dewberry are genteel enough to be grown as trailers. They give edibles instead of flowers. 4 WOMAN IS AS OLD AS SHE LOOKS A wrinkled, careworn face can easily make a difference of twenty years In a woman's appearance.

It would be well if every American would dispossess his mind of two popular and pleasing fallacies. First, that the United States took arms as a knight errant to right the wrongs of France and Belgium. Second, that our impressive entrance into the war must inevitably, and of itself, decide the issue. We are righting as a free peo- Sle for our own safety, and we must ght hard and well or suffer a shameful defeat. Germany denied us the seas because ah« thought we would accept oar fate from her hands. She permits herself now a profound contempt for our army. Untrained men with defective amunition are about as terrible in her uyea as prairie dogs would be in ours. She bossts happily that we will pay her the indemnity wnich is essential for her reconstruction. Meanwhile, to make sure of our downfall, she plots treasonably in every state in the union. Perhaps, if she wins the day, she will recomDerse auch men as Senators Stone and La- Follette and Mayor Thompson of Chicago. More iikely she will fling them on the scrap-heap. But loyal Americana may well understand that unless t»is nation put* forth all its strength, without reserve, without fatigue, without self pity; unless we crusli the traitors at home, and defeat the enemy abroad, a bitter future awaits us. At best, we shall be humiliated, impoverished, anr.« crippled in our foreign trade for many yearti to come. At worst,we shall see in our land the blazing homes, the ravished women, the butcherec children, the unutterable shame and horror which mark the wake of a German army of invasion. ...J.-.

HAVE BIG PROBLEMS TO SOLVE Must Decide Methods of Raising Billions of Dollars to Carry On W a r — B i t t e r Fights Loom. Washington—The second war session of congress is under way. After an eight-weeks' rest members of both houses got back into the harness Monday, prepared to buckle down to a ees alon that will in all probability be a lengthy ene. Immediately after convening and appointing cohjmjttees to formally notify President Wilson and each other that the second session of the sUty-fifth congress was in readiness, adjournments were taken out of respect to members who died during the recess— Senator Husting, of Wisconsin, who was accidently shot, and Representative Martin, of Illinois. Another feature of the opening day was the receipt of appropriation estimates, aggregating many billions of dollars, for war and governmental purposes for the next fiscal year. Politics Will Crop Out. Partisan politics is apt to crop out more persistently during the coming session than in the extraordinary session of the past summer. The biennial congressional elections come next November and as campaign time approaches congressmen will be looking for Issues. There will be a prolonged contest over the manner of raising the money to meet the enormous war costs. Out of the $21,000,000,000 of the current fiscal year about one-fourth will be raised by taxes of various sorts and three-fourths by bond issues. Speaker Clark and others believe the taxes and bond issues should be divided on a 60-50 basis. The war tax bill is designed to raise something less than $3,000,000,000 annually. There will be pressure to amend it especially by Increasing the taxes upon excessive wealth and war profits. Third Loan In Prospect. The two Liberty loans thus far floated totaled less than $6,000,000,000. Secretary McAdoo stated recently that he thought it would be necessary to raise to meet expenditures of the current year not more than $10,000,000,000 additional by the issue of bonds, war savings certificates and treasury certificates of Indebtedness. It is supposed there will have to be another Liberty loan late in the winter, but no congressional action is necessary. Congress will have to de cide, however, on bond issues for loans for the next fiscal year. PLANES BUILT IN GRAN0 RAPIDS Furniture Men Organize Company— To Make City Aero Center. Grand Rapids.—The furniture manufacturers of Grand Rapids have mobil lzed their industrial facilities for the manufacture of airplanes. As a result this city will become one of the chief air-craft producing centers. The Grand Rapids Airplane company was organized a few days ago at a meeting of Grand Rapids manufacturers. The capital is $200,000, all subscribed by manufacturers. The company will not be an operating company out will serve as a medium between the government and manufacturers <u distributing contracts. A large contract on a cost basis, plug 15 per cent, has been awarded the company by the war department. The airplane has about 1,500 parts and with the parts carefully standardized the orders will be distributed a^ received among the factories and it is expected practically every factory in town will have a share of the work. Actual work will start as soon as the lumber is delivered. NEGRO IS BURNED AT STAKE T a k e n From 8herlff By Mob—-Alleged to Have Attacked Woman.

Washington.—America's rainbow division is in France, along with other national guard units. They represent a total of 31 states. The rainbow division is composed of troops from Michigan, Wisconsin, New Yoork, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Maryland, South Carolina, California, Virginia. Missouri, North Carolina, Louisiana. Georgia, Alabama, Kansas, Texas, New Jersey, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Ne. braska, Colorado, Oregon and the District of Columbia. (The Michigan unit in the rainbow division is Ambulance company No. 1 of the Michigan brigade of the federal, ized guard, and is composed for the most part of Detroiters.) Announcement of the arrival in France of the first national guard units give the first official notice that an extensive troop movement has been accomplished despite hostile submarines, shortage of troop and supply ships, and other obstacles, but without the loss of a man. Thousands of men have been moved to the seaboard from all parts of the country, loaded on transports and safely landed in France without any general knowledge of the factss having been disclosed to the country at large. It can be stated that the announcement covers a large movement that has been in progress for several weeks. The next stage will be actual occupation of front line branches. Guard units to be Bent later will be more sectional in character, the grouping of the old divisional organization having been adhered to as closely as possible.

With the British Army in F r a n c e - Large numbers of American army engineers working on British railways in the region of Gouzencourt, caught in the German turning movement, escaped by lying in shell holeB and prone on the ground while the British fire over them. There they remained until the British were near enough to enable the Americans to join the ranks, when they fought valiantly and played an important part in replying to the enemy. British commanders refer to their gallant behavior with the greatest enthusiasm. Americans elsewhere took a busy hand in the fighting and were under hot German shell fire. Numbers of them volunteered for patrol work in the danger zone and all acquitted themselves finely. A British general, told correspondents that he could not praise them too highly. It is reported that several Americana were captured, but escaped after a few hours and rejoined the British. The engineers were mainly from New York. COAL PRICES RAISED AGAIN Increase of 35 Cents a Ton Authorized to Meet Wage increase. Washington.—A general increase o; 35 cents a ton was added to the price of anthracite coal at the mines Saturday by President Wilson, to meet a proposed wage increase for anthracite miners. The new prices are effective immediately and will add more than $30,000,000 to the public's annual cor.l bill. The wage increase was agreed on by operators' and miners' representatives here two weeks ago contingent on higher coal prices, to absorb the raise. When their negotiation? were ended the operators and miners turned over to the fuel administration their agreement and estimates of what it would add to the cost of produc tion. They asked that prices be raised at least 45 cents a ton. TEUTONS GAIN ON WEST FRONT Cleveland, O.—Demands have been presented to practieally every railroad in the country for increase ia wages approximately 40 per cent higi>>jr than the present scale. The railroads are asked to make answer to the demands by December 31 at the latest. As both sides have already agreed to mediate the case before the United States board of mediation and conciliation, the demands are expected to be threshed out here during January. Arbitration under the president's "undestanding" with the labor chiefs, will follow, if necessary. Meanwhile, should legislation bo required to prevent a transportation tie up during the war, ample time remains for its preparation. The trainmen and conductors are firmly supported in their demands by the other two national brotherhoods— the locomotive engineers and the firemen, who are expected shortly to frame similar demands. The railroads already have declared their financial inability to meet this added wage burden. They are expected to fight the increases to the last ditch, despite the fact they have announced they will "rest their case'' with President Wilson. RUSS ARMY SAID TO BE LOYAL Bulk of Fighting Forces Said to Oppose Separate Peace. London.—Reassuring messages from Russia to the effect that no separate peace will be tolerated, but that the armies under General Dukhonln will fight on, have been received by the Russian embassy in London. The representatives of the Keren sky provisional government declare that :t was only a matter of a few weeks, it may be sooner, when the Bolshivikl will be completely repudited, as the forces in south Russia, which is overwhelmingly opposed to a separate peace, control the supplies. The fact the embassy staffs in London are carrying on their routine work with the Dukhonln headquarters, as well as with part of the Russian navy, the same as usual, is said to indicate that there is no intention to recognize the Petrograd usurpers. They declare that the situation is most delicate, because of the ignorance of the masses; therefore the forces which are working to put Russia again on her feet are doing so quietly. MRS. DESAULLES WINS FREEDOM In Violent Counter Attacks Retake Cambral Positions. U-BOAT TOLL MOUNTS HIGHER British Admiralty Reports Loss of 14 Large and 7 Small Ships. London—Fourteen British merchantmen of 1,600 tons and over, and seven of less than 1,600 tons, were sunk by mines or submarines week ending November 25, according to the admiralty statement. Two weeks ago it was announced that the German submarine campaign had utterly collapsed. Only one large boat and five small ones fell victims to the undersea craft. The next week the U-boats accounted for 10 large ships and seven small ones. According to compiled figures the tola] British ships losses during the 39 weeks of unrestricted U-boat warfare are 1,073. London.—Germans in a violent offensive over the entire Cambrai front have pushed back General Byng's troops at several points. Especially severe was the attack between the Bourlon wood and Moeuvres, where the British line under its impetus was driven back about two miles to the viciniey of the Bapaume-Cambrai road. Likewise, on the southern base, the enemy drove through from Gonnelieu to Goyzeaucourt—another two miles. To the southward, in the region of Gonnelieu, the enemy entered the British positions at several points and penetrated their line for some distance, but later were driven back.

Her son, little Jack, for whose possession she shot her husband, was restored to her on Sunday.

KAISER FEARS GERMAN DEFEAT Gerard Says Teuton Populace Would Rlae Against Rulers, New York.—The bulk of the new Cuban sugar crop will soon become available in the New York market under an agreement reached at a conference of the Cuban sugar commission and the international sugar committee, fixing the base price at $4.90 per 100 pounds. This price representss $4.60 per hundred-weight "free on board at Cuban porta plus an estimated 30 cents freight rate to New York. It was reported to the International sugar committee that American beet sugar is moving steadily and satisfactorily. Ohio refineries are said to be receiving about 10,000 tons dally. This will help relieve the situation? New York.—"The French revolution will look like a Methodist Sunday school picnic if the German people ever rise against their present rulers." So declared James W. Gerard, former ambaasador to Germany from the United States, in an address here. "This fact" added Gerard, "will be because of the greater brutality of the Germans. Because the military lead, era of Germany and the Kaiser know this, they are willing to tight on in the hope of ultimate victory. "They have learned to fear what doubtless will happen when the people know that Germany has been de feated." \ffi|P .Based On Cost Per Tablet It Saves 9½^ Mjp CASCARAjg QUININE vm*> No advance ia price for ebb »0» «*ld rcawdp-aScfor M tabs**—L__ coid tablets now 30c far 31 tabkta— Figured oa proportionate cost par tablet, you save 9%c when you bag HUTs—Cures Cold ia ' 34 hours—grip ia a days—aioaejr baofci fit rails. 14 Tablets for At a a » D n * Stoat \ CejJP ) Torpedo-Lieutenant. A modern torpedo-lieutenant and his men have a thrilling und most important place to fill, writes u London correspondent. The officer has to be an electrical engineer ,a scientist, versed in chemistry, a telegraphist, a submarine mining engineer, a mechanic, and various other things. During action the torpedo-lieutenant must stand by and wait, because the opening ranges of a modern naval engagefent are so great that torpedoes cannot be used. Hut when the torpedo bugles sound for action the crews immediately repair below decks, load the torpedo tubes, and again wait for orders to fire. For hours the officer stands thus, watching the combat. Then suddenly his chance conies. The ships close in. There is a good chance to put a torpedo into an enemy vessel. "Snick!" A dull hissing tells that the torpedo has left the tube and is speeding towards Us mark. Then the tubes are again loaded, and so it goes on. KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT EASILY RECOGNIZED Applicants for Insurance Often Rejected An examining physician for one of th prominent life insurance companies, in an interview of the subject, made the astonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority ot those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease.

Synoptic The story opens In the home of the Rev. Mr. Starr where Prudence, his eldest daughter and feminine head of the house, consisting of her father, herself, her sister Fairy, the twins—Carol and Lark—and Connie, the youngest, are awaiting the arrival of their aunt Grace. Liveliness of the smaller members of the family results disastrously for their appearance. Carol and Lark investigate Christian Science. CHAPTER 111—Continued. "Hum—that's a different matter," laid Fairy more thoughtfully. "He hasn't wanted to yet. You see, he's a man and can go by himself without having It look as though nobody wanted to be seen with him. And he's a strangex over there, and doesn't need to get chummy with the girls. The boys here all know me, and ask me to go, and—a man, you see, can just be passive and nothing happens. But a girl's got to be downright negative, and It's no joke. One misses so many good times. You see the cases are different, Prue." "Yes, that's so," Prudence assented absent-mindedly, counting off ten more threads. "Then you would object if he had dates?" queried Aunt Grace smilingly. "Oh, no, not at all—If there was any occasion for it—but there Isn't. And I think I would be Justified In objecting If he deliberately made occasions for himself, don't you?" "Yes, that would be different," Prudence chimed in, such "miles away" In her voice that Fairy turned on her Indignantly. "Prudence Starr, you make me wild," she said. "Can't you drop that everlasting hemstitching, embroidering, tatting, crocheting, for ten minutes to talk to me? What In the world are 70¾ going to do with it all, anyhow? Are you Intending to carpet your floors with i t r "This Is a napkin," Prudence explained good-naturedly. "The Mft cost me fifteen dollars." She sighed. "Did the veil come?"

Fairy's *yes twinkled, but Prudence had no intention of sarcasm. "But I can't help i t can I? We had quite settled on the home wedding, but when the twins discovered that the members felt hurt at being left out, father thought we'd better change over." "Well, I can't see that the members thave any right to run our wedding. tBttldea, it wouldn't surprise me if the twins made it up because they wanted • big fuss," *But some of the members spoke to Sther.

My, it's h o t Give me back my pennies, Carol." "The heathen ! The heathen !" insisted Carol. "Not a penny do you get. You see, Aunt Grace, we were matching pennies—you'd better not mention It to father. We've turned over a new leaf now, and quit for good. But we were matching—and they made a bargain that whenever it was my turn, one of them would throw heads and one tails, and that way I never could win anything. And I didn't catch on till I saw Jim wink, and so I thought It was only right to give the pennies to the heathen." "How Is your mother, Jim?" "Just fine. Miss Prudence, thank you. She said to tell you she would send a basket of red Junes tomorrow, if you want them. The twins can eat them, I know. Carol ate twenty-two when they were out Saturday." "Yes, I did, and I'm glad of It," said Carol stoutly. "Such apples you never saw, Prudence. They're about as Mg as a thimble, and two-thirds core* They're good, they're fine, I'll say that—but there's nothing to them. If I had a ranch as big as yours, Jim, I'll bet you a dollar I'd have, apples bigger than a dime!" " 'Bet you a dollar,*" quoted Fairy. "Well. Til wager my soul, if that sounds more like Shakespeare. Don't go away, Jim ; we're not fighting. This Is Just the way Fairy and I make love to each other. You're perfectly welcome to stay, but be careful of your grammar, for now that Fairy's a senior— will be next year, If she lives— she even tries to tench father the approved method of doing a ministerial sneeze In the pulpit." "Think I'd better go," decided the tall, good-looking youth, laughing as he looked with frank, boyish admiration into Carol's sparkling face. "With Fairy after my grammar, and you to criticise my manner and my morals, I see right now that a parsonage is no safe place for a farmer's son." And laughing again, he thrust his cap into his pocket and walked quickly out the new cement parsonage walk. But at the gate he paused to call back, "Don't make a mistake, Carol, and use the heathen's pennies for candy." The girls on the porch laughed, and five pairs of eyes gazed after the tall figure rapidly disappearing. "He's nice," said Prudence. "Yes," assented Carol.

"In my tummy," she announced weakly. This called forth more laughter. "It's her conscience," said Fairy. "It's matching pennies, Maybe she swallowed one." "It's probably those two pieces of pie she ate for dinner, and the one that vanished from the pantry shortly after," suggested Aunt Grace. Carol sat up quickly. "Welcome home. Aunt Grace P* she cried. "Did you have a pleasant visit7" "Carol r reproved Prudence. "I didn't mean it for Impudence, aautte," ssttt Carol, getting up and bending affectionately over the hammock, gently caressing the brown hair Just beginning to silver about her forehead. "But It does amuse me so to hear a lady of your age and dignity Indulge in such lavish conversational exercises." Lark swallowed with a forced effort "Did It hurt. Carol? How did you get it all out In one breath?" "Lark, I do wlBh you wouldn't gulp that way when folks use big words," said Fairy. ' I t looks—awful." "Well, I won't when I get to be as old and crabbed as—father," said Lark. % "Sit down, Carol, and remember you're sick." Carol obediently sat down, and looked sicker than ever. "You can laugh if you like," she said, "I am sick—at least, I was this afternoon. I've been feeling very queer for three or four days. I don't think I'm quite over it y e t " "Pie! , You were right, Aunt Grace! That's the way pie works." "It's not pie at all," declared Carol heatedly. "And I didn't take that piece out of the pantry, at least, not exactly. I caught Connie sneaking it, and I gave her a good calling down, and she hung her head and slunk away in disgrace. But she had taken such big bites that It looked sort of unsanitary, so I thought I'd better finish it before It gathered any germs. But it's not pie. Now that I think of I t it was my head where I was sick. Don't you remember, Lark, I said my head achedT" "Yes, and her eyes got red and bleary when she was reading. And— and there was something else, too, Carol, what—" "Your eyes are bloodshot Carol. They do look bad," Prudence examined them closely. "Now, Carol Starr, don't you touch another book or magazine until after the wedding. If you think I want a bloodshot bridesmaid, you're mistaken." They all turned to look across the yard at Connie, just turning In. Connie always walked, as Carol said, "as If she mostly wasn't there." But she usually "arrived" by the time she got within speaking distance of her sister. "Goodness, Prue, aren't you going to do anything but eat after you move to Des Moines? Carol and I were counting the napkins last night—was It a hundred and seventy-six, Carol, or—some awful number I know. Carol piled them up In two piles and we kneeled on them to say our prayers, and—I can't say for sure, but I think Carol pushed me. Anyhow, I lost my balance, and usually Tm pretty, well balanced. I toppled over right after •God save,' aiyfl Carpi screamed 'the napkins' — Prue's wedding napkins! It was an awful funny effect; I couldn't finish my prayers." "Carol Starr! Fifteen years old and—" "That's a very much exaggerated story, Prue. Connie blamed It on me as usual. She piled them up herself to see If there were two feet of them— she put her stockings on the floor first so the dust wouldn't rub them off. It was Lark's turn to sweep and you know how Lark sweeps, and Connie was very careful, indeed, and—" "Come on. Fairy, and see the veil!" T h e veil! Did it c o m e r With a Joyous, undignified whoop the parsonage girls scrambled to their feet and rushed Indoors in a fine Kilkenny Jumble. Aunt' Grace looked after them, thoughtfully, smiling for a second, and then with a girlish shrug of her slender shoulders she slipped out and followed them inside. The twins were undeniably lazy, and slept s s late of mornings as the parsonage law allowed. 80 it was that when Lark skipped into the dining room, three minutes late for breakfast she found the whole family, with the exception of Carol, well in the midst of their meat "8bs was sick," she began quickly, than, interrupting herself— "Oh, good morning! Beg pardon for forgetting my ssannera. But Carol was sick. Prudence, and t hope you and Fairy are ashamed of yourselves—and auntie, too—for making fun of her. She couldn't sleep all night and rolled and tossed, and her hand hurt and she talked in her sleep, and—" 1 thought she didn't steep.** "Wen, she dMnt steep much, but whan she did she mumbled and said things and—" Than the dining-room door opened again, and Carol—nor hair about her shoulders, nor feet hare, enveloped in a soft dinging kimono of faded blue— stalked majestically Into the There was woe In her eyee, uud her voice was tragic. "It is gone," she said. "It is gone!" Her appearance was uncahny, to say the least, and the family gazed at her with some coucera, despite the fact that Carol's vagaries were so common as usually to elicit small respect. **Gone I" she cried, striking her palms together. "Gone!" "If you do anything to spoil that wedding, papa'U whip you, if you are fifteen years old." said Fairy. Lark sprang to her sister's side. "What's gone, Carrie T" she pleaded with tears. "What's gone? Are you out of your head?" "No 1 Out of my complexion," was the dramatic answer. Even Lark fell back, for the moment, stunned. "Y-your complexion," she faltered. "Look! Look at me. Lark. Don't you see? My complexion la gone— my beautiful complexion that I loved. Look at me! Oh, I would gladly have sacrificed a leg, or an arm, a—rib or an eye, but not my dear complexion!" Sure enough, now that they looked carefully, they could indeed perceive that the usual soft creaminess of Carol's skin was prickled and sparred with ugly red splotches. Her eyes were watery, shot with blood. For a time they gaxed in silence, then they burst Into laughter. "Pie!" cried Fairy. "It's raspberry pie, coming out, Carol!" The corners of Carol's lips twitched slightly, and tt was with difficulty that she maintained her wounded regal bearing. But Lark, always quick to resent an Indignity to this twin of her heart, turned upon them angrily. "Fairy Starr! You are a wicked, unfeeling thing! You sit there and laugh and talk about pie when Carol Is sick and suffering—her lovely complexion all ruined, and it was the joy of my life, that complexion was. Papa—why don't you do something?" But he only laughed harder than ever. "If there's anything more preposterous than Carol's vanity because of her beauty, It's Lark's vanity for her," he said. Aunt Grace drew Carol to her side, and examined the ruined complexion closely. Then she smiled, but there was regret In her eyes. "Well, Carol, you've spoiled your part of the wedding sure enough. You've got the measles." Then came the silence of utter horror. "Not the measles," begged Carol, wounded afresh. "Give me diphtheria, or smallpox, or—or even leprosy, and I'll bear it bravely and with a smile, but It shall not be said that Carol's measles spoiled the wedding." "Oh, Carol," walled Prudence, "don't have the measles—please don't. I've waited all my life for this wedding— don't spoil It." "Well, I always said it was a mistake," said Fairy. "A big wedding—" "Oh, Fairy, please don't tell me that again. I know It so well. Papa, whatever shall we do? Maybe Jerry hasn't had them either." "Why, It's easily arranged," said Lark. "We'll Just postpone the wedding until Carol's quite well again." "Bad luck," said Connie. "Too much work," said Fairy. "Well, she can't get married without Carol, can sheT' ejaculated Lark. "Are you sure It's measles, Aunt Grace?" "Yes, it's measles." "Then." said Fairy, "we'll get Alice Bird or Katie Free to bridesmaid with Lark. They are the same size and either will de all right. She can wear Carol's dress. You won't mind that, will you, Carol V "No." said Carol moodily, "of course I wont. The only real embroidery dress I ever had In ray life—and haven't got that yet! But go ahead and get anybody you like. Fro hoodooed, that's what It is. It's a punishment because you and Jim cheated yesterday, Lark." "What did you d o r asked Connie. "You seem to be getting the punishment 1" "Shall we have Alice or Katie? Which do you prefer. Lark?" "You'll have to get them both," was the stole answer. "I won't bridesmaid without Carol." •Don't be silly, Lark. You'll have to." •Then wait for Carol." "Papa, you must make her." • Carol's "uplifting" work among the ening has an amusing end.

A broken mast was the only connection with the stranded vessel, and over this, again and again, Sir William clambered with a man or woman on his back, and more often than not a child also between his teeth, held by the clothes.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, Nov. 2'). 1917 No. 4ft A LETTER FROM CAMP CUSTER J. Sibley, Former Editor of the Dispatch, Writes of Camp Life Camp Custer, Saturday Night. A. J. Snyder. Dear Friend-Aa I know you are anxious to hear as much as possible about Camp Custer, will tell you something of my experience since I arrived here. We landed at the camp here about 2:30 and were taken to oar .barracks about five o'clock, so you can see that the lunch put up for us by the Red Cross ladies came in real handy and was very much appreciated by the boyp. Our company was originally composed of Saginaw men, but now consists of Saginaw, Lansing, Pontiac, and Howell men. Hall and Carpenter from Pinckney were placed in Battery F, and I have not seen them since we landed Thursday we were taken oat to hospital in a bunch and given the physical examination, and were also vaccinated and given a given a shot in the arm besides. That night and the next day we all had some mighty sore arms where the shot was injected; the vaccination is not expected to take effect for some time. One of the fellowB from Howell. Twitchell, was rejected on account of having his first and second fingers off on the right hand. He expect* to be sent home soon. We were measured up for clothing the night we came here, and expect to have our uniforms soon. On aecount of the bad weather we have done considerable drilling indoors, and have not been on any hikes this week. We also had to drill Saturday afternoon this week which is not usually done, the men having Saturday aft- •emoon and Sunday off. We were given a short lecture today on insurance carried by the soldiers. The Government insures all soldiers for three months from the time they enter the service for $4500 free of change, and if the soldier wishes to carry insurance he most make application for the same before this time runs out. Insurance can be taken out for about $.60 a $1*00 per month. In case of the death of the soldier this insurance will be paid in monthly installments for a certain number of years insted of all in a lump. Oar feed has been good so far, nothing fancy, however; if you want butter, pie, or cake there is a store near our barracks where these and anything that a soldier cares for can be found at a minimum price. Our barracks art warm and comfortable and we have plenty of blakets. I am writing this in one of the "Y's" near our baxracki and the writing table runs the whole length of a long hall, at the end of which is a stage where moving pictures and other entertainments are given every evening. As it is aboat tune for the the show to start, will have to close. Give mp ^ards to all the folks at Pinckn ??. Respectfully, Clyde Sibley. Dellivery of Second Liberty Loan Bonds In answer to numerous inquiries as to when the Liberty Loan Bonds are to be issued, G. W. Teeple has handed us the following from the Federal Reserve Bank at Chicago: In view of the large number of payments entered on our books aa of Nov. 15, 1917, it is impracticable, in this case, to follow our rule of first come, first Berved with respect to the deliveries. We have, therefore, determined to sort the allotment letters alphabetically by cities. Deliveries of bonds, for which full payment was received November If., will be made in the order in dicated. Under this arrangement snipmeat will be made to all of the b.>nk , in any given city, on the same day. In spite of the efforts of the Treasury Department and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing at Washington to keep pace with the demands for bonds they have so far been able to fill only a limited proportion of our requisitions. It is, therefore, impossible for us to int ke dicate definite dates for deliveriys in individual cases. We count on your co-operation in explaining the situtation to subscribers who are, m many instances, not accustomed to purchasing^bondsand, perhaps, do not understand why delivery should be delayed.

Sigler and wife and Dr. Cameron and wife. Mr. Sigler reports the deer are very plentiful, but owing to the ex- XSTtoSSS^ snow, the deer keep far in the interior of the swamps. Bear are very plenty ful this season, It is reported st the transfer office at Mackinaw that an average of twenty-five bean a day past that point for the south. The settlers say they have never known them to be so plentiful as they are this season, G. A. bad the pleasure of bagging one of the finest specimens of deer that inhabit that section, it being a large swamp buck weighing around 350 pounds. Mrs. Sigler was with him at the time, the doctor being a short distance from them. Of course, had he been there he could easily have delivered a more fatal shot, and saved trailing the deer about two and onehalf miles after being shot It is a very common occurence to sight a moose track far out in the timber and swamp land, but owing to the law protecting moose, they are not disturbed.

T H E ALCOHOL AQE. "What is the matter with the world r asked Dr. Charles Gilbert Davis, noted surgeon of Chicago, in a thought-arresting article la the Illinois Issue. His answer la, "A thousand years of alcoholic saturation." "All life should evolute," he says; "alcohol produces evolution. Take the largest and finest breed of dogs—the Great Dane, for example—and for three or four generations feed them dally a little alcohol and what la the result? What was previously a large, noble animal will deteriorate Into a snapping, snarling, fighting, almost hairless, Insignificant little cur. And yet we feed men on this lethal poison for thousands of years and then wonder why we have disease, pestilence, Insanity and war. "In this dawn of the twentieth century it may be truthfully affirmed that the aggressive war brain Is the brain that directly, or indirectly through heredity, has been poisoned by alcohol. The alcoholic brain cannot evolve those emotions of the human soul that make for peace. We may talk peace, legislate for peace, and make peace treaties, but wars will never cease till the brain is freed from the corroding effects of alcohol. "One thousand years from now the historian will record the events of today and classify them under the general heading, 'The Age of Alcohol.' It will be pathetic but Interesting literature." BREAD OR BEER. Sir Alfred Booth, chairman of the Cunard steamship line, was, when the war began, neither a prohibitionist nor a total abstainer. Early In 1916 he startled Great Britain by declaring that "the transport problem demands prohibition until the war is over." k'I am not thinking of the temperance side of the question," he said, "we have got beyond that now. I am thinking of the demand which the trade makes upon the services of our ships, our railways and carts, and our labor." He denounced the use by the breweries and distilleries of thousands of tons of coal mined and sent to them every Week, the barley and other produce carted and hauled by rail to the brewery, brought back again and distributed to the consumer. "If w« arc* to •maintain our armies In the field, we shall before very long have to choose between bread or beer." MOTHERING THE SOLDIERS. The W. C. T. U. has opened many recreation rooms for the soldiers. The homesick men who flock to them do not fall to express their gratitude for the cheery welcome and the homey atmosphere they find in these places. To the matron at the rooms in Washington, D. C, a poem was presented by young Robert B. Lee, grandson of the great Southern general, as an expression of his feelings. The last stanza runs thus: When sldetby side we take our chance, To live or die in bloody France. For right and you; Then never fear, you here at home That we'll forget, where'er we roam The W. C. T. U. T H E WORKINGMAN'S BURDEN. Every workingman carries on his back a nonproducer. The laborer who pays his bills la charged a higher price to cover the loss the storekeeper sustains by failure of the drinking man to pay what he owes. When crime is committed or a family Impoverished by the drink-debauchery of its natural sppport, the cost appears on the tax bill of the man who labors. Jobs are made by the consumption of products, and If money is not spent for boose, It will be spent for other things which must be produced by labor—From the Cyclopedia of Ten> perance. ALCOHOL INCREASES FATIGUE, Fatigue Is due to the action upon nerve endings and nerve cells of poisonous products formed within the body as the result of muscular metabolism.

PENNSY MIKES TO FILL NEEDS According to Dr. Garfield, Michigan's Desperate Plight Will Be Relieved Shortly. Lansing.—Michigan's coal faminewill be ended within a few days. The promise waa made by Dr. Garfield in person to John C. Hicks, president of the St. Johns National bank, of St. Johns, Mich., and a special assistant to W. K. Prudden,. of Lansing, federal fuel administrator for Michigan. Admistrator Garfield's promise, which relates entirely to anthracite, or hard coal, means, according to Mr. Hicks, that a supply of coal entirely adequate to meet all of the state's needs will be sent here direct frcm the hard coal fields of Pennsylvania, which furnishes practically all of the anthracite coal used in the country. No Strings on Pledge. According to Mr Hicks, Fuel Administrator Garfield in his promise made no stipulation or condition of any sort, save as to the method coal dealers are to employ in bringing about distribution of the coal, and this is simple. Under details worked out by Mr. Hicks and the national fuel administration's anthracite division, Michigan's coal dealers, to obtain what coal they need, must apply to State Fuel Administrator Prudden, at Lansing, giving first the amount of coal needed, and then the name of their sourca of supply in 1916. With this information in hand, Mr. Prudden, acting under authority from National Fuel Administrator Garfield, will see to it that the dealer is supplied through the same source from which he obtained his supply last year Railroads Will Co-operate. When asked if the railroad companies and other distributors and sources of supply would comply with the national fuel administrator's directions, Mr Hicks said : "Yes, that phase of the matter is covered fully under Dr. Garfield's authority. Coal companies must obey his instructions. If they do not, Dr. Garfield is empowered to find a way to make them." Mr. Hicks said that, following his conference with Dr. Garfield, he talked with many of the larger coal operators in the east, and found them, without exception, entirely willing to co-operate with the government. RAILROADS MERGE FACILITIES Equipment of All Lines Pooled to Get Maximum Efficiency. Washington—Face to face with a threat of complete government operation and the cutting of their profits to a minimum, the railroads of the country have taken drastic steps to avert these contingencies. At the conference here the roads representatives were told that their services must be improved or the job turned over to the government. The following plan is to be put into effect at once: Engines, rolling stock, machine tools and employes from railroads west of Chicago are to be transferred to the service of railways east of Chicago. The shops of the western roads are to be used for repair work on eastern road equipment. Train service west of Chicago is to be cat to the bone. The government is to take full control of all the railway systems with the management of the roads executing the governmental orders.

The wide wandering of a parcel was described by a soldier now stationed at Egypt. Writing to his mother, he says: "I received a parcel last week which I think was posted in South Africa, somewhere about September, 1916. It had gone to the Hants' in France, thence to four hospltalR, which sent it to Blighty and to two hospitals there which forwarded it on to the officer in charge of records, Warwick. He in turn sent it to the officer In charge records, Exeter, then Ryde, and lastly to Egypt. Jolly lucky to get it after ten months, don't you think so? It contained a good soft shirt, a pair of socks, three khaki handkerchiefs, boracic powder. The address of the sender was obliterated and the postmark a smudge."

Better demolish the window garden than to mock nature with the victims of Ignorance or neglect. A pretty combination In the way of plants for table decoration Is to plant a dracaena In the center and surround It with small ferns, a peperonla, a saxifrage, and a locopodlum. They are agreeable to one another and thrive with the same treatment. Any time during the winter when the canes are not frozen prune and tie up grape and ornamental climbers. This work should not be delayed until growth starts, as it will then injure the vines. If you find bunches of dead leaves hanging In the trees, remove them. They contain destructive young larvae. Spray if you see evidence of the scale. If leaves strew the lawn, do not destroy them. They protect the grass. Plan to have plenty of flowers next summer, but If you are restricted in your desire, determine to begin a hardy, herbaceous border. This should consist of hardy, early and late blooming bulbs and perennials. As such a border is Intended to be undisturbed for years, perhaps, It should be deeply spaded and well manured. If you suspect that your trees—fruit, nut and ornamental—are troubled with aphis or bark-louse, wash the trunk and lower branches with soapsuds or lye water. Whitewash is also effective in keeping the trees healthy, but most of us object to whitening the tree trunks. Order trees, seeds, pleat* and nursery stock early and secure the varieties you want, the best stock and exactly what you ask for. Remember that nothing "Just happens.** Everything has its money or labor equivalent, and no beautiful home grounds can be expected from haphazard methods of embellishing the home. When ordering do not forget to procore nasturtium, poppy, ortulacca, or salvia seeds for the beds exposed to the sun's scorch all day. Among the plants that seldom mature their flowers, the cosmos stands forth. Therefore seeds of this beautiful plant should be planted during Februsry< While planning your garden, give due sttentioo to the color of the flowmtk so that they m a y harmonise. Have supply of white and neutral to separate the clashing colcourage disease and malignant insects. If white worms appear In the soil of your potted plants, dissolve a piece of fresh lime In water and set the pot In water, letting it remain there until the soil and ball of roots are thoroughly saturated. An ever-blooming plant Is the Irapatlens sultanl. It forms a compact bush If given the ordinary care In a sunny window. Fill a soup plate or other shallow dish with sharp, clean sand and use as a cutting nursery. While fallen leaves make a good compost heap, they do not improve the soil until they are decayed. Do not dig them Into the soil this fall. Now Is the time to pot bulbs of the "black" calla. Plant one bulb in a seven Inch pot, using good rich soil. It requires water regularly. Two perennials which are most beautiful s a d satisfactory are the Burbask daisy s o d t h e lovely cherry-red, hardy carnation pink. Ton make no mistake in ordering them.

It Is absolutely lndispensible that bees shall be used if one Is to grow cucumbers under glass. Without the bees it w.puld be necessary for the plants to be polllnlzed by hand. The difficulty and expense of this proceeding is self-evident. It is considered advisable to have a colony of bees for every 160 feet of house. Some of the growers keep fifty hives to attend to the work of propagating the cucumber species. One of the peculiar things about the use of bees Is that most of the growers seem to be content with the Idea of buying new colonies every season. There is really no good reason why the colonies should not be carried over from season to season, using a little manipulation to Insure the process, but the major portion of the producers appear to accept the annual purchase of bees as one of the Inevitable expenses. If the hives are so placed that they will be at the ends of the houses, with a chance to enter the house from one end and the open from the other they will thrive much better. The bees get little or no honey from the encumbers during the winter and they must therefore be fed on syrup. This brings about heavy laying for the queen which is not good for the bees. As soon as the weather is warm enough. If they are permitted to fly in the open they will recuperate to a large extent. If new queens are provided each season It would be possible to keep the colonies indefinitely. The prices paid for fresh colonies run from five to ten dollars. A grower who Is not afraid of his bees and who learns how to handle them can save much of this expense. The general manager and the junior partner were talking about young Mo- Kim. "He's efficient and willing and uble—to a certain degree, and after that he begins to knock, like an engine with too much carbon In the cylinders. You couldn't say he shirks. He's ambitious, but his ambition Is so egotistic that it stands in its own way. There's so much good in him that I don't want to lose him, and yet the little that Is bad Is so poisonous it nearly nultlfles the good." "He's like thousands of untarlned American boys," agreed the partner. "College doesn't discipline 'em. Nothing touches 'em but something that licks 'em Into shape. Is McKira one of the lot that wants a month off at Plattsburg?" Yes, McKim was. And he went. And McKIm had some very striking experiences at Plattsburg. His whole personality was taken to pieces and reorganized— along vastly more efficient lines. The general manager and the Junior partner were holding another powwow. "Now there's McKIm," said the Junior partner. "What about htm?" "He's a new man," said the general mnnnger. "He's braced up. He's disciplined.** Innocent. Her name was 'Sister Billy and she had two big sisters whose habit was to have beaux on Sunday -afternoons. Some of the beaux seemed to seek the approval of Sister Billy and would converse with her affably during their visits. No one's feelings were hurt. Billy was only four. One day her sisters watched her strolling in the garden with a young man. They seemed absorbed In each other, but Billy was doing all the talking. They watched the pair for several minutes, and In all that time the young man did not speak, nor did he for one second change his attitude of eager attention. Both sisters were dying with curiosity. They wondered nervously what secret the little lamb could be disclosing. As soon as the door had" closed on Mr. Brown Sister Billy was fixed with four stern eyes. "What were you saying to Mr. Brown?" they asked. Sister Billy's eyes dropped and she faltered : "I was saying the Lord's Prayer to him." Costs Less and Kills That Cold CASCARAE?

"Fate plays queer tricks on a man," remarked Mr. Twobble. "No doubt." "I always thought I would propose to the woman I would marry where there was the sheen of silver and cut glass, and shaded lights were softly glowing and behind a screen of palms an orchestra was playing a Hungarian waltz." "Year* "As a matter of fact, I proposed to Mrs. Twobble In a Jitney bus." It is stated that Germany and Austria use more aluminum for war purposes than all the other belligerents combined. It is known, in tact, that Germany has for some years been collecting and storing the metal for war uses, and the majority of the drinking mugs, cans and cups of the German soldiers are made of the light metal. The frames for zeppelins and the fuses for shells are also made from aluminum. One of the difficulties the Germans have had to face Is the shortage of copper necessary for the rings round shells. Many of the German shells are now provided with aluminum rings. Although aluminum has come to be regarded as a substitute, even in cartridges as well as shells and fuses, it does not answer Itw purpose nearly as well as copper. The French authorities experimented with it some years ago for artillery purposes, but rejected It. says London Tit-Bits. The Germans are using it in large quantities, however, on account of the shortage of copper. The undertow of selfishness may not be visible In the current of love, but It's there just the same.

RAPID PROGRESS MADE BY ROOKIES F I R 8 T CONTINGENTS AT CUSTER K E L P NEW MEN TO GRASP INSTRUCTIONS. BIG FOOD DEALERS FACE BAN Although Order* to Get License* Were Issued to All, Many Have Failed to Apply. Lansing. The 12,000 men Just added to Camp Custer, division officers say are making greater progress n learning BOIdiery than those who proceeded them. Not that they possess greater intelligence or greater learning powers and adaptability, but where the camp of the first days had only a comparatively few instructors, the officers and regular army non-coms, now it has thousands potentially in the men who have been training here for the past j two months. Under the program each men in the first two contingents aids in teaching the "rookies." In addition orders have gone forth that the program of the past eight weeks will be renewed for the benefit not only of the rookies, but for the older men themselves, and especially those who have shown that they had not grasped it thoroughly. Division officers believe the camp's program will not be retarded by the new men more than a month or six weeks. Big Dealers Must Get Licenses. George A. Prescott, State food adminstrator, has received word from National Food Administrator Hoover that many Michigan elevators, canners, Jobbers, commission men, brok ers, wholesalers und retailers, doing a business of $100,000 a year, have not applied to the government food administration for licenses as they should have done by November 1 and that proceedings will be started imme. dtately to suspend trading operations of such firms unless applications are received at once. Lists of licenses will be forwarded the Michigan administrator soon. Complaints of violations of the abovenamed tradesmen should be reported to Michigan's food administrator and not to Washington. Of the 2,900 restaurants and hotel* in Michigan, Mr. Prescott says that 1,900 of them have signed pledges already to observe meatless and wheatless days and further co-operate with the food administration. Monthly reports will be made by restaurants and hotels to the food administrator on blanks, which will show the amount of meats and wheat saved each month. Mr. Prescott says there are no "knockers' 'among the hotel or restaurannt men and that co-operation exists along every line. Small boarding houses are asking the food administrator for a menu that they can serve on meatless and wheat, less days, as their patrons, many times workingmen from factories, demand meat and bread. This situation has been taken care of, however, by sending oat menus showing how to make various dishes from fish and substituting "Johnny cake" or fried mush for bread. Many Markeme* at Waco. Because a large percentage of the Michigan and Wisconsin soldiers have been accustomed, since their boyhood to hosting during the open season in their states, the division at Camp Mac- Arthur, Waco, Is going to produce a high standard of marksmanship, according to officers who acted as instructors at the rifle range. "A recruit who has done any g" fining generally knows the mechanism of a gun,** said one of the range officers. "He Is accustomed to recoil and can handle a rifle with safety to himself and others about him. He needs little instruction about aiming, is a good Judge of range, and in a dozen minor ways finds his training as a hunter of value to him in the army." State aUan Growers Are Hopeful. The bean situation in Michigan is enooturaglng, said James N. McBride, stale director of markets, on his return from Washington, where he went to intercede with the federal food adte give Michigan bean Hr.JfeBrtde came back with the inthat due consideration of of growing beans would be Ike fatsrre. The prices which Axed for beans for the 14 beans end Mr. McBride * fts faanerattse that a rrowers be f t days et Compensatioi and Insurance. Maj. Gen. Joseph T. Dickman, commander of Caiup Custer, ha« requested the n&wqjiapera to assist in imparting information as to the soldiers' allotment, dependents, compensation and insurance measures adopted by the war department. He declares the allotment, compensation and insurance system "the most philanthropic measure ever adopted by any country in the world to care for its soldiers and tberr dependents." Compensation Compulsory. The compensation system operates for the benefit of both the soldier and his dependents, particularly the latter. It is compulsory. Every enlisted man with a wife is compelled to allot at least half his pay to her, whether she is dependent or not. To this amount, which is never lower than |15, the government will add $16 for the wife, $25 for a wife and child, and $32.68 for a wife and two children. An allowance of $5 each will 1)¾ made for other children. In the event the soldier is ...a widower the government adds $5 to his $15 for one child, $12.50 for two children, $20 for three children, $30 for four children, and $5 additional for each additional child. If the soldier is single the government adds to his $15, $10 for one parent, $20 for both parents. Similar arrangements have been made when the allotment goes to a sister or-brother with a child or children or to grandchildren. In the event of a soldier's death the government will-give his childless widow $25 per month; widow with one child, $35; widow with two children, $47.50, and $5 additional for each additional child. If he leaves no widow the government will pay his one child $20 per month, two children $30, three children $40 and $5 additional for each additional child. The mother of a dead soldier receives $20 per month. The compensation to a widow or mother continues until their death or re-marriage, that to a child until it is of age. If a soldier 1B totally disabled he will be compensated monthly as follows: $30 if without a wife and children; $45, if with wife; $55 if with wife and one child; $65 if with wife and two children; $75 if with wife and three or more children; if with no wife and but one child, $40, and $10 for each additional child. If he has a widowed mother dependent on him the government will add $10 to the above sums. For loss of both eyes, both legs or both arms a soldier will receive a flat sum of $100 per month. Insurance Is Voluntary. The Insurance is voluntary and can be taken by any soldier or sailor in sums not less than $1,000 nor greater than $10,000. The premium rate is 60 cents per month per $1,000 for men at 21 up to $1.20 per month per $1,000 for men at 51. The insurance is payable to beneficiaries in 240 monthly installments, covering a period of 20 years. One point army officers wish emphasized is that the insurance payments will be made in addition to the compensation allowed by the government as enumerated above. In such event the widow of a soldier who had subscribed for $10,000 insurance would receive monthly for 20 years $41.67 in insurance payments and $25 in compensation for herself, and from $10 to $5 additional for each child. WHERE GREATEST VICTORY WAS WON Hundreds Discharged From Waco. That drastic measures must be taken by the government to conserve the youth of the nation was the opinion expressed by officers of high rank at Camp MacArthur, Waco, Texas, after it had been learned that between 500 and 600 enlisted guardsmen and as many more selected soldiers will have to be discharged from the service because of physical disability. Guardsmen are eblng discharged at the rate of about 10 a day. A number of these are Michigan men. Because of the tremendous task ahead of the medical board that examines each man up for a discharge, it is doubtful whether the selective soldiers receive consideration for several weeks, although It is known that more than BOO of the 3,000 that came down here from Camp Custer will be sent to the hospital as unfit for military service. That this many eventually will be discharged is almost certain. In almost every case considered so far. the soldier discharged was afflicted long before be enlisted. Among; the most common grounds given for certificates of disabffity are "mentally deficient" net foot, goitre, defective eyes, rheumatism, joint trouble and the results of injuries received early in life.

FRANCIS CONFIRMS DISPATCHES Ambassador Cables Washington That Armistice Hat Been Proposed by New Government. Washington,—Officials of this gov ernment regard the Bolsheviki move for an armistice between Russia and her enemies and the opening of immediate peace negotiations as an act that would place Russia almost in the list of unfriendly nations. Press dispatches telling of the peace movement have been confirmed by a cablegram from Ambassador Francis. It said that Leon Trotiky, nation J! commissioner for foreign affairs in the Bolsheviki government, had sent for mal notification to diplomats at Petrograd that his government had pro posesd an armistice with a view to im mediate peace negotiations Presents Grave Problem. It was pointed out that should these negotiations be successful, it would be most difficult to deal with Russia as a neutral country, in view of the position she has held as an ally of the nations fighting Germany and th? marked advantage in the war that such a course might give the lat.e: country. Ambassador Francis has been given no instructions to deal with the Bol sheviki government. In reporting to the state department on the p<a~e move, he made it clear that he hnl been advised that the Soviet congr. s ^ had adopted a resolution i n s t r u c t s generals at the front to enter into negotiations at once with the German commanders relative to a thr c months' armistice, with instructions to report to the congress. Ambassador Francis's dis^ptrV da' ed November 21, dispels any ho.^e of a strengthening of Russia's re's. ; uunless the Bolsheviki govern r r should be quickly overthrown rv a counter revolution. London—Hard fighting continues in the battle of Cambral with the British pushing determinedly northward on the Fontaine-Queant line, west of Cambral. The Germans are resisting desperately the British advance, which Is being pressed most energetically on this east-to-west front. General Byng's evident intention is to drive in behind the main Hindenburg line, breached in last week's surprise attack and the Queant-Drocourt switch line, while still pushing his encircling movement of Cambral to the north and east. Italians Hold Firm. Rome—The Italians have now completed a successful two weeks' defense of their Piave line and the northern front protecting its flank. Although they have had to yield ground during this time on the front between the upper Piave and the Asiago plateau, their defensive line remains unbroken. CUT USE OF ELECTRIC SI6NS No Advertising Sign in State Must Burn After 11 P. M. Lansing—State Fuel Administrator W. K. Pruden has notified the managers of the power companies and municipal lighting plants that from now en the use of electricity for any signs used entirely for advertising purposes is prohibited except under the following conditions: Electric signs over business places from one-half hour after sunset until the closing time of said business, but in no case later than 11 p. m.; theatres or places of amusement, there the signs must be darkened one-half hour after the performance begins, and the size of the sign may be regulated by the fuel administrator; porch lights on houses or hotels, railroad yards, location of fire escapes, or lights for similar purposes, when authorised by the fuel administrator.

BR0T TO STATION BY ITALIAN In Addition to Those Killed, Five Ars Injured By Blast—Lower Floor of Building Wrecked. Milwaukee—Eleven persons were killed and 5 injured Saturday night when a bomb, designed to destroy the Madonia del Pompeii church, in the h e a d of third ward, an Italian settlement, exploded in central police station, where it had been carred for examination. Seven detectives, three policemen and one woman were killed. Three detectives, the station keeper and the desk lieutenant were injured. The bomb, evidently with a time fuse attached, was found in the basement of the church by an Italian, who took it to the police station. While the Italian was being taken into the office of Lieutenant Flood for questioning. Desk Sergeant Henry Deckart took the bomb into the patrolmen's room. Meanwhile detectives were answering roll call on the second floor and just before dismissal they were informed that the bomb had been found. On going down stairs they grouped about the missile. It was then that the bomb exploded, killing seven of the number instantly. The lower floor of the building was shattered and every window throughout the structure was broken by the shock. The bomb was intended for the Rev. August Giuliani, who several month* ago caused the arrest of anarchist leaders. Since then the Rev. Giuliani has been threatened several times and was in seclusion at Madison. U. S. DESTROYER SINKS U-BOAT Officers and Crew Prisoners—Craft Disabled, Sunk by Treachery. Washington.—The United States navy has strafed a submarine for all the world to see. This time there is no shadow of a doubt. Forty-five Germans, officers and crew, are prisoners aboard a destroyer or landed at an allied port under guard. The news came first in an official bulletin from the secretary of the navy, Mr. Daniels. It told how a de. stroyer sighted a periscope and charged on the flash. An American depth bomb Btruck the sea viper. Vitally stricken she came to the surface. While the crew was being rescued, one of them slipped back into the hold and opened the submerging valves, sending the craft to the bottom, thus depriving the Americrns of their prize after a line had been fastened to tow her into port. Another dispatch on the sinking of the U-boot says that all of the crew went down and were lost, but the first one seems to be authentic. MEAT PACKERS PROFITS CUT Government Regulation of Industry Alms to Reduce Retail Price. Chicago.—Regulation of the packing industry, so that the price of meat to the retailer and consumer may be both stable and cheaper, was announced Saturday by Joseph P Cotton, chief of the meat division of the United States food administration. The annual earnings of t h e five big packing houses cannot exceed 9 per cent on the average capital used in the business. This applies to the sals of meats. On the side lines developed by the packers, such as the making of soaps, leather, glue and fertilisers, they are to be allowed a profit not to exceed 16 per cent on their investment SUBWAY PR0P0SE0 FOR DETROIT Project, Costing $75,000,000, Ri mended by Traffic Experts.

PRUDENCE SAYS SO By ETHEL HUESTON The Story of a Houseful of Lovcable Girls Ccpriiftat BobU-Morill Co. j THE TWINS READ MRS. EDDY'S "SCIENCE AND HEALTH' AND THEIR BEHAVIOR IN CONSEQUENCE UPSETS THE TH€ QUIET OF THE METHODIST HOUSEHOLD. 8ynop*ls.—The story opens In the home of the Rev. Mr. Starr where Prudence, his eldest daughter and feminine head of the house, consisting of her father, herself, her sister Fairy, the twins—Carol and Lark—and Connie, the youngest, are awaiting- the arrival of their aunt Grace. Liveliness of the smaller members of the family results disastrously for their appearance. CHAPTER II—Continued. —2— Prudence watched them with painful solicitude. Her years of mothering had given her an almost supernatural intuition as to causes and effects. On Wednesday morning Mr. Starr bade his family goodby and set out on a tour of Epworth league conventions. He was to be away from home until the end of the following week. A prospective Presbyterian theologian had been selected from the college to fill his pulpit on the Sabbath. At ten o'clock the train carried their father off in the direction of Burlington, and at eleven o'clock the -twins returned to the pursonage. Prudence, Fairy and Aunt Grace sat Be wing on the side porch as they cut across the parsonage lawn, their feet crinkling pleasantly through the drift of autumn leaves the wind had piled beneath the trees. "We're out of potatoes, twins," said Prudence, as they drew near. "You'll have to dig some before dinner." For one instant their complacent features clouded. Prudence looked up expectantly, sure of a break In their serene placidity. One doubtful second, then— "Certainly, Prudence," said Carol brightly. And Lark added genially, "We'd better fill the box, I guess—so we'll have enough for the rest of the week." And singing a light but unharmonic snatch of song, the twins went in search of basket and hoe. Prudence's brows knitted in anxious frowns and she sighed a few times, "What is the matter, Prue? You look like a rainy Christmas," said Fairy. "It's the twins," was the mournful answer. "The twins!" ejaculated Fairy. "Why, they've acted like angels lately." "That's It!—That's just i t When the twins act like angels I get uneasy right away. The better they act, the more suspicious I feel." "What have they been doing?" "Nothing! Not a thing! That's why I'm worried. It must be something terrible!" Fairy laughed and returned to her embroidery. Aunt Grace smiled and began plying her needles once more. But Prudence still looked troubled, and sighed often. There was no apparent ground for her alarm. The twins came back with the potatoes, peeled some for luncheon, and set the table, their faces still bright and smiling. In the afternoon they joined the little circle on the porch, but not to sew. They took a book, and lay down on a rag with the book before them, reading together. Evidently they .were all absorbed. Prudence, in spite of her devotion to the embroidering of large S's on asserted pieces of linen, never forgot the twine for a moment "What are yon reading?*' she asked at mat aimlessly, her only desire to be nmieuroil by the sound of their an almost Imperceptible panes.

That's not what yon twtne art de- M i t t r twins' cheeks. Aunt Grace's eyes twinkled a little, although her face was grave. Fairy looked surprised. Prudence looked dumfounded, "What are you reading that for?" "Why—it's very interesting," explained Lark, coming to Carol's rescue. "Of course we don't believe it—yet. But there are some good things in it— it's very deep. But some of the Ideas are very fine, and—er— uplifting, you know." Prudence looked most miserable. "But—twins, do you think—minister's daughters ought to read—things like that?" "Why, Prudence, I think minister's daughters ought to be well Informed on every subject," declared Lark conscientiously. "How can we be an influence if we don't know anything about things?" Prudence looked at Fnlry and her aunt in helpless dismay. This was something entirely new in her experience of rearing a family. "I—I don't think you ought to read I t " she said slowly. "Bat at the same time—what do you think about i t Aunt Grace?" "Why—I don't know, Prudence. You know more about rearing twins than I do." Prudence at that moment felt that she knew very little about it, indeed. She turned to Fairy. There was a strange lntentness in Fairy's fine eyes as she studied the twins on the floor at her feet. "You aren't thinking of turning Christian Scientists, yourselves, are you?" asked Prudence rather humbly. "Oh, of course, we aren't Scientists, Prudence," was the quick denial. "We don't know anything about It yet, really. But there are lots of very helpful things in It, and—people talk about it so much, and—they have made such wonderful cures, you know, and—we'jj thought we'd Just study up a little." "You take the book yourself and read It, Prue," urged Carol hospitably. •You'll see what we mean." Prudence drew back quickly as though the book would sear her fingers. She looked very forlorn. If only her father were at home—ten days between herself and the lifting of responsibility I "When father comes home—" she began. And then suddenly Fairy spoke. "1 think the twins are right" she said emphatically. "It would be very narrow-minded of us to refuse to look into a subject as important as this. Let them go on and study it; we can decide things later." Prudence looked very doubtful, but a warning movement of Fairy's left eyelash—the side removed from the twins—comforted her. "Well—" she aald. "Of course. Prudence, we know it would nearly break father's heart for us to go back on our own church—but doa*t you think If folks become tmly convinced that Christian Science is the true and good religion, they ought to stand by It and suffer—Just like the martyrs of old?** suggested Lark—and the suggestion brought the doubt* cloods thick about Prudence's bead once more. "We may not be convinced, of conrse, added Carol, "but there Is sotnethlns; rather—assuring—abort It" "Oh. twins," Prudence cried earnestly, but stopped as ahe caught again the slight suggestive movement of Fairy's left eyelash. , "Well, let It go for this afternoon," she said, her eyes Intent on Fairy*! face. "I must think it over.** The twine, with apparent relish, returned to their pervstt of the book. Fairy rose almost taunedlatety and went Into the bones, coming back a moment later with her hat and glows*. -Tm going for a ttrolL prsje,- ahe aakL T i l be back ia mm* far sapper.** It waa two boars later when Fnlry law ;: dent that the twins. In their upstairs room, could hear every word she said. "Come upstairs, Prue. I want to talk this over with you alone." And then she whispered, "Now, you Just take your cue from me, and do as I say. The little sinners! We'll teach them to be so funny I" In their own room she carefully closed the door and smiled, as she noted the creaking of the closet door on the twins' side of the wall. Eavesdropping was not Included among the cardinal sins In the twins* private decalogue, when the conversation concerned themselves, "Now, Prudence," Fairy began, speaking with an appearance of softness, though she took great pains to turn ber face toward the twins' room, and enunciated very clearly indeed. "I know this will hurt you, as it does me, but we've got to face it fairly. If the twins are convinced that Christian Science is the right kind of religion, we#an't stand in their way. I've been reading up a little myself this afternoon, and there are some good points In Christian Science. Of course, for our sakes and father's, the twins will be generous and deny they are Scientists. But at heart, they are. I saw it this afternoon. And you and I, Prudence, must stand together and back them up. They'll have to leave the church. I think we'll have them go before the deacons next Sunday while father Is gone—then he will be spared the pain of i t We must make it as easy for them as we can. They'll probably dismiss them—I don't suppose they'll give them letters. But it must be all over before papa cornea back." Then she hissed in Prudence's ear, "Now cry." Prudence obediently began sniffling and gulping, and Fairy rushed to her and threw her arms about her, sobbing In heartbroken accents, "There, there, Prue, I know—I felt "Just the same about It. But we can't stand between the twins and what they think Is right. We daren't have that on our consciences." The two wept together, encouraged by the deathlike stillness in the closet on the other side of the wall. Then Fairy said, more calmly, though still sobbing occasionally, "For our sakes, they'll try to deny it. But we can't let the little darlings sacrifice themselves. They've got to have a chance to try their new belief. We'll Just be firm and Insist that they stand on their rights. We won't mention It to them for a day or two—we'll fix It up with the elders first. And we must surely get it over by Sunday. Poor old father—and how he loves— Oh. Prudence, dear, don't cry so." Prudence caught her cue again and began weeping afresh. They soothed and caressed and comforted each other for a while, and then went downstairs to finish getting supper. In the meantime the shocked and horrified twins in the closet of their own room, were clutching each other with passionate intensity. When their sisters had gone downstairs they stared at each other in agony. . "They—they wo-won't p-p-pat us out of the ch-ch-church," gasped Carol. "They will," stammered Lark. "You know what Prudence is! She'd put the whole church out If she thought It would do us any good. Oh, Carol, I told you it was wicked to Joke about religion." This unexpected reproach on the part of her twin brought Carol back to earth. **I didnt read a word of i t did you?—I—I Just thought It would be roch a good Joke on Prudence—with father out of town." The good Joke was anything but funny now. T h e y can't make us be 8d en tints if we don't want to," protested Lark. **They can't Why. I wouldn't be anything bat a Methodist for anything on earth. I'd die first Well Just go and teU Prudence it was a Joke—Prudence la always reasonable. She won't—" "Shall punish us, and—it'll be such a Joke on us, Larkle. Even Connlell laugh." They squirmed together, wretchedly, at that "It—It was a good joke while it lasteft.*' said Carat with a very faint shadow of a smile. "Don't yon remember how Prudence gasped?

Like as not they'll we'd he a bad Inflsencs among the clutched each other, startled, crying o u t Then, sheepishly, they stepped out of the closet to find Fairy regarding them quizzically from the doorway. She repressed a smile with difficulty, aa ahe said quietly. "I was just talking to Mrs. Mains over the phone. She's going to a Christian Science lecture tonight, and she said she wished I wasn't a minister's daughter and she'd ask me to go along. I told her I didn't care to, but said you twins would enjoy it. Shell be here in the car for you at seven fortyfive." "I won't go," cried Carol. "I won't go near their old church. You can't make me." Lark shook her head in corroborative denial. "Well, that's queer." Fairy frowned, then she smiled. Suddenly, to the tempest-tossed and troubled twins, the tall, splendid Fairy seemed a haven of refuge. And with a cry of relief and shame and fear, the twins plunged upon her and told her their little tale. "You punish us this time, Fairy," begged Carol. "We—we don't want the rest of the family to know. We'll take any kind of punishment but keep It dark, won't you?" "I'll talk It over with Prudence," said Fairy. "But—I think we'll have to tell the family." Lark moved her feet restlessly. "Well, you needn't tell Connie," she said. "Having the laugh come back on us is the very meanest kind of a punishment." Fairy looked at them a moment, wondering if, indeed, their punishment had been sufficient. "Well, little twins," she said, "I guess I will take charge of this myself. Here Is your punishment." She stood up again, and looked down at them with sparkling eyes as they gazed at her expectantly. "We caught on that it was a Joke. We knew you were listening In the closet. And Prudence and I acted oar little parts to give you one good scare. Who's the laugh on now? Are we square? Supper's ready." And Fairy ran downstairs, laughing, followed by two entirely abashed and humbled twins. W. N. U., DETROIT, NO. 4&-1917. G re a teat Sugar Exporter.

How Carol Spoiled the Wedding. A day in June—the kind of day that poets have rhymed and lovers have craved since time began. On the side porch of the parsonage, In a wide hammock, lay Aunt Grace, looking languidly through half-close< lids at the girls beneath her on the step. Prudence, although her face was all a-dream, bent conscientiously over the bit of linen in her hands. And Fairy, her piquantly bright features clouded with an unwonted frown, crumpled a letter In her hand. "I do think men are the most aggravating things that ever Jived," she declared, with annoyance in her voice. The woman In the hammock smiled slightly, and did not speak. Prudence carefully counted ten threads, and solemnly drew one before she voiced her question. "What Is he saying now?" "Why, he's still objecting to my having dates with the other boys." Fairy's voice was vibrant with grief. "He does make me wild! Aunt Grace, you can't Imagine. Last fall I mentioned casually that I was sure he wouldn't object to my having lecture course dates—I was too hard up to buy a ticket for myself; they cost four dollars, and aren't worth i t either. Ard what did he do but send me eight dollars to buy two sets of tickets! Then this spring, when the baseball season opened, he sent me season tickets <o all the games, suggesting that my financial stringency could not be pleaded as excuse. Ever since he went to Chicago last fall we've been fighting because the boys bring rae home from parties. He wants me to patter along by myself like a—like—like a hen!" Fairy said "hen" very crossly 1 "It's a shame," said Prudence sympathetically. "That's Just what It ia. You wouldn't say a word to his raking girls home from things, would you?" Outmatched. "Do you think the widow Is setting her cap for him?" "No; she tells me he Is clever but Impossible." "Mercy ! If the widow finds him impossible, he must be clever."

C , Nov. 15— (Special),— Production of pleasure cars is likely to be stopped for the period of the war by the automomV manufacturers of America. According to the plans, their plants will be devoted instead to the production and storage of ammunition, aeroplanes, guns, helmets and other war material, with^the manufacture of enough cars to meet absolute demands of business. Storage of steel, war board officials declare, and the pressure of war demands on industry will account for the discontinuance of manufacturing purely pleasure vehicles. Discontinuance in Short Time No date has been s*»t for discontinuing the pleasure car industry, but representative* of the automobile industry and the Council ofNational Defense have recognized it as necessary, and steps already have been taken to limit production gradually.

The various divisions of the brain are described in detail, but perhaps the most interesting part is the comparison of the brains of queens, workers and drones. The worker has a larger brain than the queen, aud as the difference between queeu and worker is the result of diet during the grub stage It appears that the food which develops else of body and fertility is not best for the growth of brain.

Michigan's contribution to the nation's war fund through subscription to the second installment of the Liberty Loan was $106,045,050 according to complete official tabulation. This was $31,495,050 in excess of the I the best manner of Europe.

AB instructors, there are the experienced artillerymen of the brigade, tome of whom have been instructors at Fort Sill, and the foreign artillery officers and non-commissioned officers who have been through the mill in Europe Several commissioned officers and non corns from each of the tield artillery companies are the students, they will take a month's course and then give ; way to a new bunch. The instruction given at first is entirely theoretical with daily lectures at brigade headquarters. Later actual work will be done on the new artillery range, 5,000 yards long, stretching south from Detroit Hill, paralleling the rifle range. Here practical instruction in the sheltering and hiding of guns, in observation and communication will be had. Shots will fall in the swamp, will be obs-erved from posts in trees, on ridges, in heath, all concealed after 250,000. The campaigners of the state did not stop to rest when they were assured that the minimum had been reached, but kept pegging away vigorously at the task of narrowing the distance to the maximum. So far as the minimum quota was concerned, all but a few of the Michigan counties went "over the top," and it is a matter of record that the counties which made the most favorable showings had the most effective organizations in the field. Some of the counties failed to realize their early expectations and the members of the state organization will try to discover the whys and wherefores before another campaign is launched. In some of the districts which did objects. For the range, two roads, the Territorial and the Reese, will be closed and guarded so that the shells which will fly next month may injure no one.

Pere Marquette Service Under Fire. J Complaints are pouring iatd the state railroad commission's offices regarding abandoned service on the Pere Marquette. Several villages and towns aver they are practically without communi cation to the outside world, except by motor routes, and ask relief. The Pere Marquette has abandoned service on many of its lines, due to lack of coal. One letter received by the railroad commission from Elk Rapids reads in : part as follows: ' "When we were given notice that train service was to be discontinued, we were told it was because of a shortage of coal, and we believed the partial service we had would be restored, but we find that it is not the ; Intention. "Our village is ruined. I "Our mail service has been taken from us. One day last week our mail went out of here in the afternoon car-; tying $9,000 of registered matter and that pouch lay in the freight house at Williamsport unwatched until 10 o'clock the next forenoon." Numerous other complaints by wire, mail and delegations are received Jaily from towns where the service fias been curtailed. everything up to the time the conscript boards the train for Camp Custer. Under the old system of obtaining recruits the expense of recruiting stations, officers, advertising and all other items, made the initial cost approximately $100 per man. in some instances it ran higher, as recruiting parties in peace times were often stationed in places for weeks at a time without sending a single man to Columbus barracks. Provost Marshal General Crowder has asked for detailed information concerning the cost of the draft in Michigan, U. 3. and State Trade Land. Michigan has finally completed arrangements by whidh 43,972.92 acres of state land have been traded for an equal acreage of United States land. Deeds are expected in a few days which will put the state into possession of lands which have been 30ught for years. Both state and national governments have owned tracts of land within parcels owned by the other. The trade now blocks out the holdings of each, doing away with conflicts. * The state acquires in Alcona, Oscoda, Alpena, Cheboygan, €rawford, Roscommon, Kalkaska, Luce, Montmorency, Ogemaw and Presque Iale counties. Title to the biggest forest in the state, located in Luce county, will be vested in Michigan when the deed comes. Final details of paying the tax on all state land to the county in which it is located were discussed at the meeting. Payments will be made January 1, and will add $30,000 to the road funds of the counties, chiefly in the northern part of the state .where state lands are held.

OLD PRESCRIPTION FOR WEAK KIDNEYS Have you ever stopped to reapon why (t 1^ that so many products that are ex-' tenMvely advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are K>on forgotten? The reason is plain—the article did not fulfi] the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that lias real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have l>ecn benefited, to those who are in need of it. A prominent druggist says, "Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in ••lmost even- case it shows excellent results, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy t h a t I know of has so large a sale." According to pworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmers' Swamp-Root is due to t h e fact that, BO many people claim, it fulfils almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, correct* urinary troubles and neutralizes t h e urio icid which causes rheumatism. You may receive a sample bottle of STramp-Root by Parcel Post. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, X . Y., and enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

C H A P T E R I. The Chapercrr. "Girls — come down : Quick ! - - 1 (vaiil to see how you look !'' Prudence stood at the foot of the stairs, deftly drawing on her black silk gloves—gloves still yood in Prudence's eyes, though Fairy had long since discarded them as uutH for service. T h e r e was open anxiety in Prudence's expression, and puckers of worry perpendicularly creased her white forehead. "Girls!" she called again. "Girls, are you deaf?" A door opened in the hallway above, and Connie started down the stairs, fully dressed, except that she limped , Along in one stocking foot, her shoe j In her hand. j "It's so silly of you to get all dressed ( before you put on your shoes, Connie," Prudence reproved her as she en me down. "It wrinkles you up so. But you do look nice. Wasn't it dear of the Ladies' Aid to give you that dress for your birthday? Do be careful, dear, and don't get mussed before we come back. Aunt Grace will be so much gladder to live with us if we all look sweet and clean. And you'll be good, won't you, Connie, and—Twins, will yon come?" "They nre sewing up the boles in enob other's stockings," Connie .vouchsafed. "They're all dressed." The twins, evidently realizing t h a t Prudence'* patience was near the breaking point, started downstairs for approval, a curious procession. All dressed as Connie had said, and most charming, b t t they walked close together. Carol stepping gingerly on one foot and Lark stooping low, carrying a needle with great solicitude—the thread reaching from the needle to a small hole on Carol's instep. " W h a t on e a r t h are you doing?" "I'm sewing \\p the holes in Carol's stocking," Lark explained. Prudence frowned disapprovingly. "It's a very bad habit to sew up holes in your stockings when you are wearing them. Mercy. Lark, you have too much powder on !" "I know it—Carol did it. She said she wanted me to be of Intellectual pallor." Lark mopped her face with one hiind. "You look n1ct\ twins." Prudence advanced a step, her eyes on Carol's hair, sniffing suspiciously. "Cflrol. did you curl your h a i r ? " Carol blushed. "Well, .lust a little," she confessed. "I thought Aunt Grace would appreciate me more with a crown of frizzy ringlets." "You'll spoil your hair If you don't leavd It alone, and It will serve you r i g h t too. Oh, Fairy. I know Aunt Grace will love you." she cried ecstatlcially. ' T o n look like a dream, .von—" "Yes—a nightmare." said Carol snlpplly. "If I saw Fairy coming at me on a dark night Td—** " P a p a , we'll miss t h e t r a i n ! " Then as he came slowly down the stairs, she said to her sisters again anxiously: "Oh, girls, do keep nice and clean, won't you? And be very sweet to A u n t G r a c e ! I t ' s so awfully good of her—to come—and t a k e care of u s — " P r u d e n c e ' s voice broke a little. T h e admission of another to the parsonage mothering h u r t her. Mr. Starr stopped on the bottom step, and with one foot as a p i v o t slowly revolved for his daughters' Inspection. " H o w do I look?" he demanded. "Do you think this suit will convince Grace t h a t I am w o r t h taking care of? Do I look twenty-five dollars better t h a n I did y e s t e r d a y ? " T h e girls gazed a t him with most adoring a p p r o v a l " F a t h e r !

Then, all ready, ihey looked ut one another again—even more solemnly. "Well," said Fairy, "let's go In—and wait." Silently the others followed her in, and they all sat about, irreproachably, on the well-dusted chairs, their hands folded in their smooth and spotless laps. The silence and the solemnity were very oppressive. "We look all right," said Carol belligerently. No one answered. When the silence continued, Carol's courage waned. "Oh, girls," she whimpered, "isn't it awful? It's the beginning of the end of everything. Outsiders have to come In now and take care of us, and Prudence'll get married, and then Fnlry will, and maybe us twins—I moan, we twins. And then there'll only be father and Connie left, and Miss Greet, or someone, will get ahead of father after all—and Connie'll have to live with a stepmother, a n d — i t ' l l never seem like home any more.. and—" Connie burst into loud and mournful walls. "You're very silly, Carol," F a i r y said sternly, "Prudence will be at t h e head of things for nearly a year, and—I think we're mighty lucky to get Aunt Grace. It's not many women would be willing to leave a fine, stylish home, with a hundred dollars a month to spend on just herself, and with a maid to wait on her, and come to an ugly old house like this to take care of a preacher and a riotous family like ours. It's very generous of Aunt Grace—very." "Yes, it Is." admitted Lark. "And as long as srtfc was our aunt with her fine home, and her hundred dollars a month, and her trmld. I loved her dearly. Dul—I don't want anybody coming in to manage us. We can manage ourselves. We—" "We need a chaperon." put In Fairy deftly. "It Isn't proper for us to live without one. you know. We're too young. It isn't—conventional." "And for goodness' sake, Connie," said Carol, " r e m e m b e r and call her our chaperon, and don't talk about a housekeeper. There's some style to a chaperon." "Yes, indeed," said Fairy cheerfully. "And she w e a r s such pretty clothes, and has' such pretty m a n n e r s t h a t she will be a distinct acquisition to the parsonage. We can put on lots more style, of course. And then it w a s awfully nice of her to send so much of her good furniture—the piano, for instance, to t a k e the place of t h a t old tin pan of ours. And do you remember, girls, t h a t you mustn't ask her to darn your stockings and wash your handkerchiefs and do your t a s k s about the house. It would be disgraceful. And be careful not to hint for things you w a n t for, of course, Aunt Grace will trot off and buy them for you, and papa will not like I t You twins'll have to be very careful to quit dreaming about silk stockings, for Instance." T h e r e was a tinge of sarcasm in Fairy's voice as she said this, "Fairy, we did dream about silk stockings—you don't need to believe It If you don't w a n t to. B u t we d i d ' dream about them, j u s t t h e s a m e ! " Carol sighed. "I think I could be more reconciled to Aunt Grace if I thought she'd give me a p a i r of silk stockings. You know. Fairy, sometimes lately I almost—don't like Aunt Grace—any more." T h a t ' s very fooUah and vary wicked," declared Fairy. "I love her dearly.

I think she'd be awfully silly not to gobble him right up while she has a chance. F o r my own part, I don't believe In old maids. 1 think it is a religious duty for folks to get married, and—and—you know what I mean—race suicide, you know." She nodded her head sagely, winking one eye in a most intelligent fashion. "And Aunt Grace is so quiet she'll not be any bother at all," added Lark. "She won't scold a bit.—Maybe Carol and I will get a chance to spend some of our spending money when s h e takes charge. P r u d e n c e confiscates it all for punishment. I think it's going to be lots of fun having Aunt Grace with us." "I'm going to take my dime and buy her something," Connie announced suddenly. "I didn't know you had a dime," said Lark. Connie flushed a little. "Yes—oh, yes—" she said, "I've got a dime. I— I hid it. I've got a dime all right." "It's nearly time," said F a i r y restlessly. " N u m b e r nine has been on time for two mornings now—so she'll probably be here In time for dinner. It's only ten o'clock now." "Where'd you get t h a t dime, Connie?" "Oh, I've h a d ' U some time," Connie admitted reluctantly. "But where have you had it?" Inquired Lark. "I thought you acted suspicious some way. so I went around nnd looked for myself." "Where did you look?" The twins laughed gleefully. "Oh. on top of the windows and doors," said Carol. "How did you know—" began Connie, "You nren't slick enough for us, Connie. We knew you had some funny place to hide your money, so I gave you that penny and then I went upstairs very noisily so you could h e a r me. nnd Lark sneaked around and watched, and saw where you put it. We've been able to keep p r e t t y good track of your finances lately." Carol rose and looked at herself in the glass. "I'm going u p s t a i r s , " she said. "What for?" Inquired Lark, rising also. "I need a little more powder. My nose is shiny." So the twins went upstairs, and Fairy, after calling out to them to be very careful and not get disheveled, went out Into the yard and w a n d e r e d dolefully about by herself. Connie m e a n t i m e decided to get her well-hidden dime and figure out w h a t ten cents could buy for her fastidious and wealthy aunt. Connie w a s In many w a y s unique. Her system of money-hiding was born of n o t h i n g less than genius, prompted by necessity, for the twins were clever a s well as grasping. The cook8tove sat in t h e d a r k e s t and most remote corner of t h e kitchen, and where the chimney fitted into the wall it w a s protected by a, small zinc plate. T h i s zinc plate p r o t r u d e d barely an inch, but t h a t inch w a s quite sufficient for coins the size of Connie's, and there, high and s e c u r e in the shadowy corner, lay Connie's dime. She w e n t into t h e kitchen cautiously, careful of h e r w h i t s canvas shoes, and put a chair beside the stove. She had discovered t h a t the d l s h p a n t u r n e d upatde down on t h e chair, gave her sufficient height to reach her novel banking place. But alaa for Connie's calculations— Carol was born for higher things than and she had aplaahed on the table. Tim. pan bad It had boon hung the And It was upon this that Connie climbed to of her darling dime. pan and soot beyond her wildest fancies ! Her cries brought her sisters flying, mid the sight of the blackened j kitchen, und the u n f o r t u n a t e child In , [he midst of disaster, banished from 1 their minds all memory of the coming chaperon, of Prudence's w a r n i n g words -Connie was in trouble. With sisterly affection they rescued her, and did not hear the ringing of the bell. And when Prudence und her father, with Aunt Grace in tow, despaired of gaining entrance at the h a n d s of the ' girls, came in unannounced, it was a sorry scene that greeted them. F a i r y ! and the twins were only less sooty than . Connie und the kitchen. Aad Connie j wept loudly, her tears m a k i n g hideous ! trulls upon her blackened face. "I might have known it," Prudence thought, with sorrow. But her motherly pride vanished before her motherly solicitude, and Connie was soon quieted by her tender ministrations. "We love you, Aunt Grace," cried Carol earnestly, "but we can't kiss you." Mr. S t a r r anxiously scanned the surface of the kitchen table with an eye to future spots on the new suit, and then sat down on the edge of it and laughed as only the young heart and old experience can laugh ! "Disgraced again," he said. "Grace, think well tefore you t a k e the plunge. Do you d a r e cast in your f o r t u n e s with a parsonage bunch t h a t revels in misfortune? Can you t a k e t h e responsibility of rearing a family that knows trouble only? This is your last chance. Weigh well your words." Fairy pursed up her lips, puffing vainly ut I he soot that had settled upon her face. Then s h e laughed. "Very true, Aunt Grace," she said. "We admit that we're a luckless family. P u t we're expecting, with you to help us, to do much bettor. You see, we've never had half a chance so far, with only father behind u s . " The twins revived a t this, and j Joined in the laughter their father led against himself. i Later in the day P r u d e n c e drew her aunt to one sid" and asked softly, ! "Was it much of a shock to you, Aunt I Grace? The family drowned in soot to welcome you? I'm s u r e you expected to find everything trim and fresh and orderly. Was it it bitter diwappolntment ?" Aunt ('.race smiled brightly. "Why, no, Prudence," she -; dd in her low, slow, even voice. "1 really expected something to be wrong !

Their aunt assumed no active ! directorate over household matters. ; She just slipped in, happily, unobtru- ' slvely, smiling much, saying little. The members of the Ladies' Aid, who hastened to call, said, "She is perj fectly charming.—.such a flee con versai tionalist !" j She wns always attractively dressed, always self-possessed, always friendly, j always good-natured, a n d the girls found her presence only pleasing.

We don't expect you ' to bury yourself in t h e parsonage. Whenever you want a t r i p away for a while, you must feel free to go." "I shan't want to go," said Aunt Grace quickly.

More About Food Conservation. "1 call it plain stinginess," said one woman. How under the light of Heaven has it come about that people think it an unworthy thing to use all instead of part of our provisions? The American housewife is the most wasteful in the world. It is high time a reform is instituted. We are not asked to starve our families nor to deny them proper food, but no one with the "Milk of human kindness" in him could gorge himself while his brothers sit hungry and destitute. One of the good cooks of Pinckney has given as the plum pudding recipe. It is as follows: 1£ pints browned bread crumbs, 1 pint chopped raisins, 1 pint sweet milk, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon soda dissolved in milk, £ cup molasses, \ enp sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and cloves. Steam 2 hours. Here is a breakfast cereal for the children: Heat bread crumRa in the oven until a delicate brown. Pour a very little syrup over them; mix well; return to oven a few minutes. Be careful not to burn. Here is something interesting to the farmers' wives: Make your winter syrup out of your windfall apples. Into seven gallons of sweet cider stir five ounces of powdered calcium carbonate. Boil a short time in a large kettle as it foams up some. Let it settle over night. Pour off the clear liquid, add a level teaspoon of the carbonate, stir thoroughly. Boil rapidly until thick. It is more delicate if not boiled down too much. This may be canned right away or left to settle and reheated next day. There will be a sediment in tho bottom—sugar sand which we ofteu find in maple syrup. It is best to cool very slowly so that it will be clear. This make* a gallon of fine ruby- colored syrup with a litte tartness in it, which reminns one of the old-timh sorghum. We think it is very fine. NEW CLASSIFICATION Dope for the Next Military Draft Given Out.

President Wilson had approved the new draft regulations which will be promulgated soon to govern selection of the remainder of registered men for the national army. The new plan aims to classify each of the 9,000,000 men not yet drafted in his place in the national scheme of defense, and to postpone drafting of men most needed in war industries and those having dependents. There will be provided a system which which will classify each of the 9,000.000 men who have not been inducted into military service and each man will have been given his place in the national scheme of defense. To do this, it has been determined to obtain from each man complete information of a character which;, will definitely fix his economic worth as compared with his fellow registrant and from information thus obtained to place him in one of five classes each to be called in turn as need ariae. The classifications are as follows, and show every man registered to which class he belongs and in what order the different classifications will be called to service: Class 1- Single men without dependent relatives. Married men or widower with children who habitually fails to support his family; married man dependent on wife for support; married man or widower with children not usefully employed, family supported by income independeut of his labor; men not included in any other description in this or other classes; unskilled laborer. Class I—Married man or father of motherless children usefully engaged but family has sufficient income apart from his daily labor to afford reasonably adequate support during his absence. Married man—no children— wife can support herself decently and without hardship; skilled farm laborer; skilled industrial laborer. Class 3—Man with foster children dependent on daily labor for support. Man with aged infirm or invalid parents or grandparents dependent on daily labor for support; man with brothers or sisters incompetent to supp rt themselves, dependent on daily tabor for support; county or municipal officer; fireman or policeman; necessary artificers or workmen in arsenals, armorand navy yards; necessary custom house clerk: persons necessary in transmission of mails; necessary employes in service of United States; highly specirlized administrative experts; technical or mechanical experts In industrial enterprise; highly specialized agricultural expert in agriculturhl bureau of state or nation; assistant or aaeociate manager of necessary agricultural enterprise.

By L. M. BENNINGTON. As the cold winds of winter are making doubly cheery the window garden in the sitting room, the prospects for a season of beauty in the garden next year occupies a great deal of thought and attention. If the whole garden outlook Is to be changed or If only a few improvements are to be made In Its outlines, the wtnter nights a r e the time to develop the changes that you are going to make in your home grounds. No really effective change has ever been made by experimenting without some planning. If you plan to make a Illy bed choose a well-drained spot for them, and if possible where the flower will have a background of evergreens, shrubs or screen of living green to set off their pale beauty. A background of climbing plants is also good. Dig the hed two feet deep and throw Into the excavation rubbish, tin cans, old shoes, rocks, brick bats and the like, insuring drainage, as the Illy cannot stand cold, wet feet. Enrich the soil with m a n u r e from the cow stable, worked well Into the poll with sand or sifted ashes. Plant the bulbs eight to twelve Inches deep, according to their size, In a pocket of sand. Just before the cold weather sets In cover the bed with n litter of old leaves, being sure that the storms of winter will not uncover the bed. Lilies want shade during the hottest part of the clay. Lilies are easy to force if the following instructions are carried out. Select large, sol^J, heavy bulbs of the Bermuda lily. Prepare soil that Is light, fine nnd very rich, with well-rotted manure— cow m a n u r e is best. Fill a large pot half full, then press In three bulbs, allowing them to touch one another, with three Inches of soil between them and the pot. «• The size of the pot depends upon the size of the bulbs. The bulbs should be set in a nest of sand and sur-' rounded with it. Then cover the bulbs with about two inches of soil and place the pots In a cool corner of the cellar, allowing the bulbs to make plenty of root growth. In about six weeks the roots should appear plentifully outside of the ball of earth, and when this happens the pots are ready to be taken into light and warmth. As the stalkajshoot Tip, fill the pots with earth to within an inch of the rim of the pot. Do not put the pots in a hot, dry atmosphere at any time, but at first they should be kept Just above freezing. Little by little accustom them to the air of the living room. LATE FALL AND WINTER HINT? By BETTY PAKE. When the ground is frozen hard enough to bear a team, haul mulch to the s t r a w b e r r y bed, the newly planted trees and shrubs, the borders and beds of roses, hardy perennials, etc. If you have a bed of horse radish or other perennial you wish to get rid of, dump a load of fresh manure upon it and leave it there until later in the spring. This is a good way to destroy clumps of poison Ivy. The aspidistra is a plant that will thrive In almost semi-darkness.

WORK WILL BEGIN DECEMBER 15 All Registrants Will Be Obliged to Fill Out Blanks So Government Can Place Them Correctly. Washington—President Wilson for. inally put the new machinery for t h e carrying out of the selective draft bill into operation Saturday with publication of the foreword h e had written to the regulations under which the second call will be m a d e . The regulations themselves and the questionnaires, which more than 9,000.- 000 r e g i s t r a n t s will be required to fill out, have been forwarded to local boards. New Call Next February. W a r d e p a r t m e n t officials estimate that the whole process can be completed within 60 days. This means that no seeond call will be m a d e upon t h e draft forces before the middle of next February, as the period of classification will not b,egin until December 15th. The president describes the new plan of dividing all r e g i s t e r e d men not already mobilized into five classes, subject to military service by classes, as being intended to produce "a more perfect organization of our m a n power." Government Wants Status. Under its terms the exact physical, mental, moral, social, commercial and industrial status of every registrant will be fixed. It will give the governm e n t data on how many shipbuilders, foresters, bricklayers, hod-carriers, musciana and every other type of man power is at its disposal. Speedy mobilization and equipment of units for any war task will be possible, efficiency that was practically impossible under the old draft system. The new method will enable the government to exempt men with closer regard to the nation's labor needs in all lines. "The selective principle must be carried to its logical conclusion," the president said, and he added that there must be made a complete inventory of qualifications of each r e g i s t r a n t s in order to determine the place In the military, industrial or agricultural ranks of the nation in which his experience and training can best be m a d e to serve the common good," • Selling Soldiers Liquor * • Costs Two $1,000 Each • • • • Detroit—Floyd Good and Eddie • • Wall were sentenced to pay fines • • of ^1,000 by Federal J u d g e Tuttle, • • when they pleaded guilty to • • charges of selling liquor to sol- * • diers in Battle Creek. * licensing of handlers of certain basic • T h r e e others, indicted on • • t h e s a m e charges by the • • grand jury, -were arraigned. * • Guy M.

EEL TRADE IS DEMORALIZED HEAL BABY RASHES That Itch, Burn and Torture With Cuticura— Trial Free. immense Lump of Steel Is to Be Turned Into New Type of Slxteen- Inch Naval Gun. There has just been cast ut the Bethlehem steel works a monster ingot for the first of the 16-inch rifles that are to arm the great new battle cruisers of the United States navy, under construction at Camden. So far as known, writes a Bethlehem (Pa.) corespondent of the Philadelphia Record, the foremost ship of this class now afloat is the British cruiser Lion, with engines of 110,000 horse power. Her speed is a bit better than 40 miles an hour and she carries 14-inch guns. The American battle cruisers will have engines of 200,000 horse power and each will be armed with four 16-lnch rifles, which will shoot 20 miles. From present indications there will be six of them and Bethlehem has the order for all the guns, which will be the largest on any ships of this kind in any navy. The ingot required the contents of three open-hearth furnaces, being 15 feet 7 Inches long, 100 inches in diameter and weighing 310,000 pounds. It will take several weeks to cool such an enormous mass of metal, after which It will be cut, bored and hollow forged on the great armor plate press into a tube 80 feet long. It Is proposed to finish these 16-lnch guns in record time In the new gun shop, which is wide enough to turn the tube around, with room to spare. Special lathes and other machinery had to be constructed to handle these guns, whose parts, such as Jackets, rings and yokes, a r e already being forged.

Electric Device for Blind. A Purls scientist, M. ('has. Lambert, has devised a method of writing which will be very useful for blind persons, especially mutilated persons who have lost their hands or forearms, the reading of the signs being done by a specially designed electrical device. In the first place the characters composing the text are printed in Morse alphabet on the same method as is employed for producing letters in relief on letter paper, that is by printing with a thick paste which then solidities and leaves a raised letter. This method now replaces the old embossing process where cost is an item, for It Is much cheaper. The only difference from the usual Morse alphabet is to place the dashes vertically instead of horlzontallly. Itea-ding of these characters can then be done by persons deprived of their hands, by the use of a very simple electric device which is run over the characters In relief which are printed with a special metallic Ink. Catchers of Elongated Slippery Fish in Thames River Among Others Affected by the War. (lood Queen Bess' fondness for the Dutch eel Is keeping one man in J>iii uln in a state of forced idleness, observes the New York Sun. In the eurly part of her reign a boat laden with eels sailed up the T h a m e s and part of the cargo was sent to the virgin queen as n gift. Her majesty was so delighted with the, at that time, novel dish, that she grunted Skipper Vlsjerzonen a charter which made the liiver Thames free to him and his descendants, absolved him of all river dues and gave his descendants the right to moor at a certain spot in the river forever. But one condition of the charter was to the effect that the mooring place always must he occupied by some of their boats. If at any time the place was unused the privilege would cease. For 300 years the descendants of the fortunate skipper have plied their t r a d e in the Thames, always retaining their original mooring place. But the war broke out, the eel trade fell off considerably and the submarine activity completely killed it off about two years ago. Captain Yillurn, the last arrival In charge of an eel boat, has since that period been to all intents and purposes marooned. To maintain his rights it has been necessary to stay in the river, and until the war ends this condition will be fulfilled. He replies to questions as to the length of his exile that he expects to stay for two or three years; vet. 37% More Fo r Yo u r Money , Get the Genuine CASCARA\ D QUININE No advance in price for chia 20-yearold remedy—25c for 24 tablets—Some cold tablets now 30c for 21 tablets— Figured on proportionate cost per tablet, jrou save 9%c when you buy Hill's -Curea Cold in 24 hours—»rip in 3 days-—Money back if it fail*. 24 Tablat* for ZSc.

No one ever knew Old Davy fo become in the least excited, nor did he ever waste a word. One summer day he was rowing along in his boat when a dory containing five or six young summer people was capsized near him. Naturally there wvre screams and wild confusion, in the midst of which Davy rowed over to the scene of the disaster and said placidly to the young people who were clinging to the oat, screaming for help : "Hadn't you better get in?"

They looked at many h o u s e s ; but none suited her, because the bathroom was on the second door. Finally, she found a place with a bedroom and bath on the first floor, so they bought it. Her friends were curious to know why she had to have the bath on the ground floor. She explained t h a t in a short time her husband would be helpless, on account of his age, and she wanted everything convenient for caring for him.

In hue with a previously announced policy of the war department to have attached to each division such foreign officers as are necessary to impart information regarding European warfare that is essential before going overseas, 11 English officers have ar F I F T E E N T H O U S A N D P A R A D E AT r l V e d at Camp Custer C A M P — A L L I E D O F F I C E R S W A T C H S P E C T A C L E . UNIT OF OBJECTORS IS FORMED Number of Conscripts Who Balked at Military Training Placed In One Company—Do Kitchen Work. Lansing. In the presence of an Immense "gal iery," two-thirds reininme. the Eightyfifth division of tbe new National •army marched in Its first review at Camp Custer lam week It was the largest military dem on8tration ever held in Michigan. The review itself was a splendid spectacle. In the dignified presence of Major.General Dick man and his distinguished guests from the British and French armies, 15,000 men wheeled across the parade ground, in platoon formation. No fancy evolutions were attempted, but the division had the appear ance of a military machine. As inspiring as was the review itself, a massing of 15,000 men in uniform under the observing eyes of official representatives of allied nations, the real thrill to those who, two or three months ago, saw these men straggle into camp, in civilian clothing, un trained, dressed in a thousand varieties of clothing, and generally disinterested, to all appearances, in military life. The change In these men is remark able. They marched well, saluted with snap and well merited the tre mendous cheering they received. Major-General Dickman was obviously much impressed by the showing of the new army, while the townspeople and visitors from about the state could scarcely believe their eyes. Although the largest military spectacle ever held in Michigan, this record cannot long be allowed to stand, for by the time another review is called for there will bo 36,000 men to partclpate. The new officers are quartered with the French officers in the foreign officers' barracks and will probably remain with tbt> division until it goes overseas. So far as the camp is concerned, it is ready and waiting Tor the entire quota of men. Barracks are completely fitted to receive the uew contingent of recruits and the quartermaster's department formally declared that it would be able to supply uniforms and equipment to the entire quota immediately. Not only Is Camp Custer waiting for the new men, it is anxious to see them on their way as soon as possible. They will be more than seven weeks behind men already here in training even though they arrive at the earliest date and when it is considered that a recruit's first few days in camp net him little, the seven weeks can be stretched to eight without mis treating the seriousness of the situation. In other words, the men will be half way through their training by the time the last *5 per cent of the division's quota is ready for instruction. The fact must be faced that this variation can scarcely be equalized in the two months of the training three j schedule which remain. Naturally the came n e w m e n WJU progress rapidly as the camp is better organized, and the routine has been firmly established. Unit of Objectors Formed. Holding fast to religions tenets varying from those most commonly accepted, varying from prohibitions against killing even in self protection to protest against meat eaUng and Saturday drilling, Camp Custer's con. scientious objectors are now formed In one company, the twenty third of the depot brigade. For a time when these men first came to camp, they were confined in barracks and later In the guardhouse, because of their refusal to don the army uniforrm and participate in drilling. It was believed a scant diet and confinement would break their oddities and make them pliable for shaping into soldiers, There was no desire on th% part of division officials to place upon them the severe penalties provided in such cases. But so sincere and well-grounded were their beliefs that shouldering a rifle and firing at enemies would bar them forever from the mansions In the skies, that the punishment Inflicted had no effect at ail, and it was decided, until a final disposition is made of them, to form them into one company. So far as possible the whims of each one are allowed to have sway, police duty and other work, which are not In line of preparation for direct engagements in battle, being their main occupations. State Wheat Nearly Normal . Wheat conditions in Michigan are 84 per cent normal, according to the November crop report. The average yield of corn per acre is 16.11 bushels; of beans. C.SD, and potatoes, 98.4. The acreage of both beans and potatoes is considerable above normal. Cloverseed is 58 per cent normal. The estimated total number of bush-' els of wheat marketed in the last three months is 1,:150,000. In accordance with an order compelling them to report immediately after threshing, farmers have reported to the secretary of state the following bushels of grain threshed up to and including November 1 : Wheat. 11,940,859; rye, 3,960,594; oats, 36,105,208; barley, 2,856,998; buckwheat, 68,081; peas, 83,985. Although reports have been received of the beans threshed, considerable is yet on the field and the returns are too scattered to be of benefit. No Choice Given Men in Transfers. Steps to prevent a flood of applications for transfers from one regiment to another by men who wish to be with some friend, or who prefer, for no reason In particular, another arm of the Bervice than that In which they are, have been taken by the division commander at Camp Custer. These were contained in the order permitting transfers, which has just been given out. No man may be transferred from one unit to another unless some good service results, the order states, mere individual preferences being Ignored unless backed by particular fitness The order was issued because the recent first muster of the 85th division makes it possible to place men in units to which they are better suited, a thing which could not be done before, CAMP CUSTER NOTES 8tate Ready for Next Loan Drive.

CONCORD BANK IS ROBBED OF $18,000 1 A N D I T S C U T W I R E S , BLOW UP S A F E , O V E R A W E C I T I Z E N S , A N D ESCAPE IN T W O AUTOS. LOOKS LIKE WORK OF EXPERTS Jslieved to Be Same Gang Which of Late Has Been Operating in Western Part of State. Jackson, Mich.—The Farmers* State bank, in the village of Concord, 10 miles south, was wrecked by burglars early last Friday. The robbers obtained about $18,000 and made a good escape after terrorizing the villagers. Shots and a succession of explosions attracted a crowd, which was overawed by the robbers, who, after cleaning up the money in the safe, escaped as they came, in two large automobiles. After completing their work the robbers left in a southerly direction, but soon after one automobile returned to the village and took an easterly route. That the robbers are professional bank robbers is indicated by the quality of the safe-wrecking tools they left behind them. The thieves got every cent in the bank except $75 in gold, which was dropped upon the floor in the getaway. There is reason to believe the gang is the same which has of late been operating in western and southern Michigan. The Concord bank's loss is covered by insurance. Factors Fighting for * Supremacy in Russia. * MAXIMALIST —Believes that the Socialist state should be es. tablished in Russia immediately. From the Latin maximus, meaning the most you can get. Lenlne and Trotzky are maximalists. MINIMALIST—Thinks that the establishment of a fully socialistic state would be picking the plum before it is ripe and that the best policy is to go slowly. From minimus, meaning, accept what you can get with safety. Kerensky and Tzeretelli are minimalists. BOLSHEVIKI—Express Russia's anarchistic feelings. They hate the wealthy class and plan for the dictatorship of labor. They want a separate peace. They correspond in a degree to the I. W.

Washington—The Russian embassy in Washington announced Saturday it would refuse t© accept the authority of the Maximalist government. A statement issued by the Russian embassy said: "The Petrograd events are a revolt of a party against a national government. The Maximalists are in no way representative of the whole of Russia. If they have succeeded in seizing power and form a 'Maximalist government,' such a government cannot express the will of the nation. Consequently, the Russian embassy in Washington will refuse to accept its authority." BREAD PRICE EXPECTED TO DROP Government Regulations W i l l Rule Baking Industry. Washington—The average cost of manufacturing baker's bread, as shown in a report to the food administration by federal trade commission investigators, is slightly less than seven and one-half cents a pound. The ingredient cost is 83 and the selling cost 17 per cent.

ETC. /1AKY ROBERTO WMEMART T' '£/K', ' CHAPTER X I I . —11 — It was only an hour or so before dawn when Huff got to the hall. There were no trains between midnight and morning. And Talbot's car, which he might have used, had beeu long delayed by his burst tire. He took a Buburbau trolley line for perhaps half the distance and walked the rest. At four o'clock In the morning he pressed the arbor button, and old Henrtette, grumbling at this second disturbance of her rest, roused Elinor again. Time was precious. Huff, having rung the announcing bell, made his way up through the dew to the house. And so it was that Elinor, opening the house door, met him face to face. As she recoiled from him, he closed the door. "I have brought you a message from Boroday," he said swiftly. "I've been a fool and scoundrel and—it's about all up." Elinor hardly realized what he was saying. The light of horror had hardly died out of her eyes. To her, Walter, once her lover, now typified all of suffering and nearness to death that lay in old Hilary's room upstairs. "The first train leaves the city at six o'clock," he said, trying to keep his voice steady. "It is hardly likely they will be out so soon, but under some pretext or other they will search the house this morning." "How can I leave the house now? Upstairs in father's room—" "I know," he put In hastily. "I know all about It. Elinor, I am sorry, I am wildly sorry. It's no excuse to say I was crazy, but I was." "If I go away," Elinor said, with white lips, "how will they manage about him? The nurse needs so many things, and I—I see that she has them." A flame leaped into the boy's eyes. "If you care for him like that— what are you going to do about It? Even if he cares for you, you cannot marry him. If he ever found out about you—" "He will never marry me. And—he does know." The fact that Ward knew the truth about Elinor and the band brought back to him their common peril. He thrust aside, for the time at least, his passion and his despair; and calmly directed his energies toward preparing the house for the inevitable search. So systematic had old Hilary been that there were few papers to destroy. Such of the ledgers as were incriminating he burned in the furnace. Elinor's box of jewels he carried upstairs and placed on the library table. Such settings as had remained from the country club raid, after the gems had been taken out, he melted together In old Hilary's crucible and placed the gold and platinum nugget In Elinor's box. He had set the safe to a simple combination and closed It. Except for its size, and for the protective wiring burled in Its walls, It might have been a family safe, built by a nervous and «lderly gentleman living in the count r y to hold his silver spoons. -^ It was too late by that time to bury the box as Boroday had suggested. iHuff did "the next best tiling. He buried it carefully in Elinor's garden, •under a clump of crimson phlox. Elinor worked hurriedly, but with hopeless eyes. Her preparations consisted in little more than putting on the clothing in which she meant to travel. I n this new life on which she was entering she wanted little to remind her of the old. A letter to Henriette contained enough money to pay joff the servants and the household accounts. In another envelope she folded the deed to the house and a note conveying i t to Henriette. 'Ton can sell it," she wrote. "Goodtoy, dear Henriette. I shall never for- ,get yon, and if ever it is possible, be sure I shall see you again." ! T h e time came, Just before dawn, when she and Walter stood again face t o face In the library. Huff was going at once. It was not fcjoroday's plan that any of them •hould further incriminate Elinor by feccompanying her to the train. At a Sound of steps on the stairs, Huff started. "The nurse going down, probably for Ice," she explained. "He is getting better, isn't h e r "Yes, bnt he still suffers at times." When the steps had died away, Elinor slowly drew off her engagement ring, and held it out to him across the table. Although he was watching her, lie made no move to take it, and she laid it down, between then on the table. «1 don't think we need talk about It Walter," she ssid simply. There, is aotnlng to say, is thsrer ^2¾ "I suppose not," he returned bitterly. He added : "If only you will try not to hate me, Elinor." "I do not hate you. But If he had died—" Huff came swiftly around the table and taking both her hands in his, held them to his throat with a despairing gesture. "If I didn't know that it would make you more unhappy," he said slowly, "I'd kill myself today." "Walter!" "I tell you now. It won't change matters any, but perhaps it will change your memory of me. Ever since I've known you I've- had one dream. You were to marry me and I was going to turn straight. I could have done it with your help. But now—" He dropped her hands and turned away. Elinor watched him wistfully. The one thing he wanted she could not give. There could be no compromise between them. It must be all or nothing, and she had given her all to someone else. In the doorway he turned and looked back at her with haggard eyes. It was as if he were Impressing on his memory every light and shadow of her face; every line of her straight young figure. Then he went out into that darkest hour of the night that precedes the dawn. For the first time since his Injury Ward's mind was quite clear. He had not been able to sleep, and the nurse had been reading to him. Strange reading, too, for the assistant rector of Saint Jude's. The books old Hilary had kept on his bedside still lay there. Even t h e nurse, accustomed to many books for many men, was gently outraged. Ward lay in his bed, his eyes half closed, listening intently. At last the nurse put down the book. "Why, it's frightful, it's outrageous, it's blasphemous I Do you really think I should read you any more of them?" Ward smiled feebly. "If you are afraid of the effect on you." "Not a t all," said the nurse almost sharply, and picked up the book again. Ward lay back on his pillows and listened to the age-old arguments. So it was on such literature as this that Elinor had been reared! How fair a plant to have grown thus in the dark! And a s the nurse droned on, Ward came to realize how natural and how inevitable had been her development. Reared in such soil, what might he himself not have become; and more than that, would he have been one-half so sweet, so tender, so—good? Toward dawn the nurse slept in her chair. Her cap had fallen a little crooked, and the beautifying hand of sleep had touched away the small furrows between her eyes. Plain she was, but kindly and full of gentleness. Ward, lying awake, watched her. She was no longer very young. He thought of the children who should have clung to her broad, flat bosom and felt the touch of her tender hand. Then,"* because, curiously enough, everything of gentleness and tenderness reminded him of Elinor, his thoughts swung round to her. He closed his eyes, and dreamed the dream that had been with him, subconsciously, all the night. To take her in his arms, and by teaching her love, teach her infinite love; by showing mercy and forgiveness and great tenderness, to lead her by these. His attribute, to the Christ—this was his dream. And because it brought hope and healing and great peace,- after a time he slept. Elinor, standing alone in the house outside his door, took courage from his even breathing and ventured in. So light was his sleep that she dared not touch him. She knelt very quietly by the bed, and kissed the corner of his pillow. • • • • • • • Ward spent his Sabbatical year in Oxford. He had thought to find peace by exchanging one form of activity for another, but with the leas arduous duties of his work there h e had more time to think. He found the old pain even greater; his restlessness grew on him. In the three years since Elinor's flight he had done many things. He had left Wofflngham for New York, and could feel his usefulness now only bounded by bis strength. But the old zest of life was gone. He was restless, heavier of spirit There bad been times when he had thought that he was forgetting, only t o discover, through a stray resemblance, while his heart pounded and his blood raced, that his forgetting was only the numbness of suffering. Once, o n the Strand In London, h e came face to face with Boroday. Ward would never forget that meeting, its quick hope which died into the old ache at lioroday's words. "I have not seen her," he suid. "I am always looking. 1'erhaps she is wise, to breuk with us all. Still, we loved her. I have never married, and she was like my own child." He had taken a clerkship in London, he said. While, of course, he did not suy so, Ward read between his words that he was done with the old life for good. He held out his hand and the Russian took it. "If I hear anything," Boroday said, "I'll let you know. Once or twice she wrote me; from Liverpool once, after she landed, and again from here. Then the police closed up the Dago's place, which was the only Way she knew to reach me. I've never heard since." "Then you think she may be in Eugland?" Ward asked eagerly. The Russian shrugged his shoulders. "Perhaps, if she Is living. She was not strong. Sometimes I wonder—" So, after all, Ward took an extra pang away with him from the chance meeting. What If, after all, his watching and waiting meant nothing? If she were gone, beyond earthly finding? Death for him might be a beginning only, a door to eternity, but all the philosophy and hope of his faith did not fill his empty human arms. That night he walked the London streets until dawn. He came back from Oxford at the end of his course there. Home was calling, and work, blessed work, that brings forgetfulness. On the last Sunday before he sailed he attended service in Saint Paul's. He knew the church well. In those earlier days when philosophy had taken his young brain by storm and his faith had rocked, he had gone to Saint Paul's. Something in the very solidity of the old church, In its antiquity, in the nearness of those dead-and-gone great ones of the earth who had lived and died secure in his teachings, had steadied him. And now, when It was his heart that failed, and not his soul, he went there. It was there that he found Elinor. She was Just in front of him, In the prim garb of an English army nurse. They Came Face to Face Again. And it was no resemblance that roused his first Interest. What he saw was only a slender girl, kneeling, and evidently in tears. She wns very thin; he saw that, and her shoulders heaved convulsively. But as the service went on she grew quieter. When she rose from her knees at last, she was quite calm. It wns then that he knew her. Ward watched her with an ache in his throat. She looked frail, snd. Always In his mind he had pictured her in her summer garden, a flower herself among her flowers, or as she had looked that night In old Hilary's library, the night when, to save him, she had told him the shameful truth about herself. And now he found her here, wearing the garb of service, and on her knees! So Tearful was he of losing her that he stayed close as the congregation moved slowly out of the church. She did not Intend to go; he saw t h a t She stepped out of the crowd and waited. He thought it probable that she was seeking what he himself had once sought—a quiet hour under a holy roof. And so it was that they came face to face again. She put her hand to her throat, with the familiar gesture, when she saw him. For a moment neither of them spoke. The ordinary greetings were out of place, and what was there to say? It was Ward who spoke at l a s t "It doesn't seem quite possible, Elinor," he said. She had never been "Elinor" to him save In his thoughts. But neither of them noticed. "I am sorry yon have found me. I have tried so hard to bury myself," It was increasingly hard for him t o speak. All the things that had Iain in his heart for three years clamored for soeedL "You are-- quite welt again?" "Perfectly. liut you? You are thinner." "1 have worked hard and, of course, I have suffered. It was not easy—to tear myself away from the f*-'W friendB 1 had " And then, at last, he broke Into speech, rapid, incoherent. He blamed himself for his hardness that night in old Hilary's library, lie condemned himself for a thousand things. She listened, rather bewildered, with the old wistfulness in her eyes. "Why should you say such things?" she usked at last, when lie stopped from sheer panic. "You were right. I was a criminal. I have been learning tilings since then. You were always kind to me. I have never forgotten." "Kind!" He almost groaned. She held out her hand. "I must go now. My time is not my own." She glanced down at her uniform. "Do you remember what you said to me once about the brotherhood of man? I have been trying to live up to that." Ward took her hand. It was very cold. "Do you remember that?" "I remember almost everything you told me. Even the things, that night, while I was watching the clock. I rt» member them all." The church was empty, save for a verger here and there, busy about his duties. Quite suddenly Ward lost his composure. "Acd I—I remember everything too. Your smile, your eyes that night when I was carried into the house—oh, my dear, my dear, you are written on my heart." He bent over, shaken and pale, and kissed the palm of her hand. "It is you who are good," he said huskily. "I, who talked smugly of virtue and tenderness and pity, and who let you go out of my life—I care for you more than I care for anything in this world. I want you—I want you." Elinor's eyes turned toward the high altar with its cross. Always, when she looked at it, she had seen the cross at Saint Jude's, and the dawn, and sparrows drinking out of the wet gutter at her feet. "I want you," said Ward, and waited, frightened. But her eyes came back to him, clear and full of promise. "I have always loved you," she s&ld simply. "I will go with you. And your God shall be my Oc<d." (THE END.) CURED BY SERVICE IN ARMY Confederate Veteran, Condemned by Doctor to Die In Six Months, Alive and Hearty at 77. "It is a curious thing how war service has been the making of many a man in a physical sense," remarked MaJ. W. B. Howard of New Orleans, a Confederate veteran. "When I went into the Confederate army my doctor told me that I had tuberculosis and the chances were against my living for six months longer. I was weak and emaciated to a painful degree, and I had not the remotest doubt but that my doctor had made a true prophecy. "I had made up my mind to join General Lee's army anyway, and, after the mournful diagnosis of the physician, I was doubly anxious to go to the front. 'If I am- going to die of disease,' thought I, i t were just as well to have my existence terminated by a Yankee bullet.' Lo and behold! here I am now a sprightly old man of seventy-seven and with no idea of shuffling off the mortal coil for at least another decade. That four years' service in the Confederate army in:1 do me heaHhy and robust, and my experience wns that of many another weakling. Life In the open air and sunshine heats all the medicine in the world, and you will find that the boys who come back frnm the battlefield* of Europe, if any of them go over there, will return much bettor specimens of physical manhood than whoa they went."

Chloride of calcium is sometimes used to absorb moisture and keep certain photographic products dry, such as platinum paper or carbon paper; but a photographer has discovered that cardboard of the heavy kind will act as a good drier. The card is used in rough sheets, it being well dried by heat and then wrapped In waxed paper so as to leave only the edge of the board free and thus not absorb moisture too quickly. One of Many.

Because the entertainments are educational. 2. Because every PROGRESSIVA town or community has|a course - ****** 3. Because it helps teach the you ng" >x>ple to enjoyjand~~attend good clean entertainments. 4. Because it makes it possible for us to hear talent that we would not otherwise be able to hear in our home t wn. 5. Because of the low cost of a season ticket. 6. Because we are judged and our live are governed largely by the entertainments we attend. 7. Because the lecture course brings to us messages from the outside world that help us keep in step with the world. 8. Because it teaches us to be unselfish and help bring to others the things we might ourselves afford to go to the city to hear, 9. Because no one ever heard a vulgar or dirty suggestive story told or a song sung by a lyceum course attraction. 10. Because if we preach to our children the evil of unclean and vulgar entertainment we should offer something better in its place • ¥*** * >•»»»»»•»••••»•»»•. i -.*;.. * . . * . i. • r 1 ^ * , ^ ' ^ ^ f - g ^ ; t i , ^ ; * • •k.J- •• „ • • ~m . : • ' • - : Hi*- .''"S :*'.! ,3%sL *5 * '<-i*,••-&; Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
