Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, Xu ,> 91 No. 45 Pinckney High Defeats {About Food Conservation Heavy Dexter Eleven Last Monday afternoon the Pinckney High School foot-ball team defeated the heavy Dexter High School Eleven 12 to 7, in a close and intensley interesting game. Pinckney made their firBt touch-down during the last quarter in the first half, but failed to kick goal which made the game G to 0 at the end of the first half. During the first quarter of the second half Dexter's heavy back field plowed through the Pinckney line for a touch-down and kicked goal making the score 6 to 7 in favor of Dexter. This did not discourage the Pinckney boys however, and time after time Pinckney's full-back, Roche Shehan, went through Dexter's line for gains making another touch-down in the last quarter which made the score 12 to 7 in favor of Pinckney. Both touchdowns were «iade bv Shehan. All of the boys played fine however considering that this was only the second game that the most of them had ever been in and the fact that they were playing against a much heavier and more experienced team. Pinckney will play Dexter here this week Friday and will play Howell at that place next week Wednesday. The Women Are Glad to do Their Share Many Selects Rejected MOO Out of Draft of 13,000 Are Held Unfit " S t a t e w i d e Prohibition For - Kentucky/* Slogan of State Convention Extracts from the address of Mrs. Frances Beauchamp, W. C. T. U. president— "To as f women to turn their dresses upside down and inside out and make them over time and time again, to save, and at the same time permit men to use the soil of God'a green acres to produce tobacco with which to poison the blood of future generations, is, to put it mildly, but false economy. Cigars and cigarets will lower vitality and lessen power of resistance to disease, yet the government raises no protest and calls upon self-denying mothers to eat less for economy's sake. "If, instead of asking our men, women and children to eat less, we simply refused to allow our grains and foodstuffs to be us*d for the production of j liquor, we would not only avert the] destruction which commonly result*, from its consumption, but we would; save enough grain to Bupply continu-" ously the bread rations for our own ( army and for the combined armies ofour a l l h s . " M. E. S. The canvassers for food conservation pledges have secured a large number of Bigners. The women are glad to do their share. One woman said that the dog would not get any more pieces of bread while human beings were in want. The d')g will eat potatoes and other vegetables or go hungry. Keep all small pieces of bread in the warming oven until thoroughly dry and crisp, put thru the food chopper or roll until fine. They are then ready for immediate use, or can be put away for an emergency. Many had never thought of using dog bread crumbs for anything but bread pudding. One lady gave us a recipe for Apple Charlotte which is as follows: Put a layer of crumbs in the bottom of a buttered pudding dish, then a layer of apple sauce, then another layer of crums, alternating until the dish is full. Pour over the top half a cupfull of water, sprinkle a little cinnamon and a few dots of butter, bake half an hour, and serve with cream, bits of jelly or any pudding sauce. Did you know that any scraps of cookies or stale cako could be made into fine crumbs and used in place of part of the fl our in your fresh cookies. Try it. We know of one lady that would be highly indignant if she was called anything but extremely economical, yet we have seen her throw away a 25 pound flour sack full of pieces of bread, crackers, toast, corn bread and the like. In her cooking she ia economical, also very good, but she still has lota to learn about utilizing the left-overs, in spite of the fact that she has been cooking many years. We used to have a cook who made a delicious Pls:m Pudding out of bread crumbs. She said she used no flour at all. Could any of the Dispatch readers furnish us this receipt? We would be very grateful if any could. Card of Thanks I wish to express my heartfelt thankB to the many friends and neighbors for their thoughtful kindness and sympathy during the illness and burial of my dear mother, Mrs. Frances Petteys. Also for the many beautiful flowers, the kind and comforting words of the minister and the sweet music. Viola Petteys.

MANY OTHERb 2ADLY INJURED Most Inmates of Home Being Old and Infirm Fell Easy Prey—Fire Starts In Stack of Old Papers. Paterson, N. J.—Nineteen men loat their lives Sunday at a fire which destroyed the Paterson Salvation Army Rescue miBalon here. Eighteen of the victims were dead before rescuers could reach them. The other one succumbed at the hospital of his Injuries. Many others were badly injured, either in the surging mass of humanity which, panic-stricken, stampeded from the building, or by leaping from windows. More than a score sustained injuries of a minor character, and were treated by ambulance surgeons. Of those who leaped from the windows of the burning building, 13 were so badly hurt that their removal to the hospital was imperative. Some of these, it was said, may not recover. The fire started among a large stock of newspapers and magazines stored In the rear of the building. It spread rapidly to a large pile of kindling •wood in the yard nearby, and licked up the side of the building, which burned like tinder. There were 85 men sleeping in the building when the fire started. Some were old and some were crippled. Few were in the full vigor of manhood as the rescue mission was conducted as a haven for unfortunates who possessed no home and but little means of livelihood.

OTSEGO SOLDIER SHOOTS SELF French and British 8oldiers Sent to Stem German Onrush — Italy Has Lost 180,000 Men. MANY WACO SELECTS UNFIT Strict Army Examination Will Cause Discharge of 15 Per Cent. Camp MacArthur, Waco, Texas— With the arrival of the final allotment of the 3,000 selective soldiers from Camp Custer last Saturday, examination of the men is under way. It was unofficially announced that fully 15 per cent would be given surgeons' certificates of disability and discharged from the army. Why some of the Rattle Creek men ever were accepted for service by their local boards is a mystery to officers here. Inasmuch as many of the misfits come from Detroit, particular criticism is directed against local boards there. One officer who has had much to do with the examination of the Custer men, expressed the opinion that if a man claimed exemption, the local boards took it for granted he was trying to dodge service, and accepted him regardless of his physical qualifications. "The result of this situation," continued this officer, "is that we are delayed in our training, when every day counts. We shall have to re-examine every one of these men, and it looks as if fully 15 per cent would be discharged." "ELECTRICAL RAIDER" IS SUNK Was Controlled From Shore—Fleet of 12 Teuton Ships Also Sunk. London—An "electrically-controlled high-speed boat," which attacked British patrol vessels off the Belgian coast has been sunk, It is announced here. While no official explanation of the term "electrically-controlled" is given, it is believed that the craft was of a new type without crew, and controlled from the shore by an electrical device. Details have also been received of a naval action in which British warships sent down 12 German fighting vessels. Ten patrol boats, a small converted cruiser—the Marie Plensberg, or Flentoorg— and the Crocodile, a commerce raider, were sunk. The brief official announcement said that there were no British losses. Sixty- four German sailors, some of them ^TSTTnded, have been landed. The converted cruiser carried six- Inch guns. The admiralty statement did not name her, but dispatches from Copenhagen identified her as the Ma* rie of Flensborg, or Flenborg. She was a vessel of 3.000 tons. The cruiser, it is said, was sunk 12 miles north of Jellen after 30 of the *• crew of 81 had been killed. A Spanish steamer took seven wounded Germans to a Danish port. The Crocodile was a new, swift vessel of MOP toss and carried a crew of Petrograd.—In view of the reports reaching Petrograd, that the impression is spreading abroad that Russia j virtually Is out of the war, Premier i Kerensky discussed the present condition of the country frankly last Friday with the Associated Press. He said Russia Is worn out by the long strain, I but that it is ridiculous to say the country is out of the war. I The premier referred to the years j that Russia has fought her own campaigns alone, with no such assistance as has been extended to France by Great Britain and now by America. He said he felt help is needed urgently and that Russia asks it as her right. He urged that the United States give aid, in the form of money and supplies and appealed to the world not to lose faith in the Russian revolution. Russia, M. Kerensky added, was taking an enormous part in the struggle, and those who said she was out of it must have short memories. "Russia has fought consistently since the beginning," he said. 'Shy . saved France and England from disaster early in the war, She is now worn out by the strain and claims as her right that the allies now i shoulder the burden." Ally Soldiers Go to Italy's Aid, Washington.—British anad French i reinforcements arrived on the Italian front on November 1. Cabled word to i this effect was announced in official I circles here. j It was statetd positively that Italy's ! third army had successfully extri- I cated itself from the Isonzo front i and had retreated in good order ! to the Tagniamento line. This army is commanded by the Duke of Aosta and thus has saved itself from the Teutonic purpose of cutting it off from General Cadorna's main line. Italian cavalry has come furiously to the aid of the retreating armies and, according to the messages received at the Italian embassy, have driven in the greatest cavalry maneuver since the battle of Charleroi. They are reported as holding back the enemy and harassing them so that their advance has been checked. Large detachments are still in the mountains. They have been surrounded, it la reported, but have sent out their carrier pigeons, announcing that they can hold out for ten days or two weeks. Trapped between the sector due west of Udine and the sea, 60,000 Italians laid down their arms, according to Berlin. This brought the total taken by Mackensen up to November 1, to more than 180,000, Berlin announced. P. M. R. R. CUTS TRAIN SERVICE Claim That Coal Shortage Compels Them to Revise Schedules. Lansing—Between 30 and 40 freight and passenger trains on the Pere Marquette system were discontinued temporarily on November 1, because of lack of coal. Officials distrust the action of the Pere Marquette. Brer since the reorganisation of that road, state officials declare there have been at* tempts to get rid of profitless branches. Sent to Waco From Custer—Objected to Service in Army. ALLY TROOPS GO TO ITALY'S AID Camp MacArthur, Waco, Texas—After making several threats to take his own life rather than have anything to do with a business that involved the killing of fellow men, Private Walter Llniger, a selective soldier from Otsego, Mich., turned a rifle on himself in his tent Sunday night and blew his head off. Displaying the strategy of a general mapping out a campaign. Llniger waited until all his comrades in Company B, One-hundred and Twenty-sixth Infantry, had deserted the vicinity of his Washington--The Germans have captured the first American prisoners Berlin's official statement says that on the Rhine-Marne canal, as a result of a reconnoitering thrust, "North American soldiers were brought in." Thus the eagerness of the German command to capture Sammies has met success. Special money rewards the other inducements have been offered to the German soldieis who captured the first Americans. It is assumed, a small scouting party was surprised by a German patrol in No Man's land and captured. Details never may be fully told, since only captors and captives would know what happened under cover of darkness. American Front Quiet. The part of the front on which the Americans are undergoing their final training has been comparatively quiet for months. Raiding parties ar out nightly in No Man's Land, however, and it is believed that it was on one of these exploits that the Sammies were taken. The quarters.

BIG FOOD DEALERS LICENSED a report goes back on to the other side that a patrol of so many men is missing. Officers here believed that this was what happened on the French-American front.

San Francisco—Uniform minimum wage scales for the Pacific coast shipbuilding yards, a guide for all shipyards in the country, have been fixed by the United States shipbuilding labor adjustment board. The decision provides an Increase ot from 10 to 30 per cent over the old scale here. The decision, the first to be handed down by the board, declares that employes' "discrimination, interfering with the defense of the nation in time of war, against so-called 'unfair' materials, would be intolerable."

RELIABLE REMEDY RESTORES KIDNEYS For many years druggists have watched with much interest the remarkable record maintained by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It is a physician's prescription. Swamp-Root is a strengthening medicine. Dr. Kilmer used it for years in his private practise. It helps the kidneys, liver and bladder do the work nature intended they should do. Swamp-Root has stood the test of years. It is sold by all druggists on its merit and it will help you. No other remedy can successfully take its place. Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start treatment at once. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for s sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.—Adv.

I" THE GIRL WHO HAD NO GOD By Mary Roberts Rinehart CHAPTER XI—Continued. —10— "He Is sound asleep," she said smilingly. "He thinks I am someone named 'Elinor,' and he calls me t h a t As my own name is Sarah, It's rather pleasant." Ward had been shot on Sunday night. By the following Wednesday he was out of danger. On that same Wednesday the rector of Saint Jude's brought himself and his rheumatism back to his parish. For three days Elinor had hardly slept pr eaten. Never once had she been In Ward's room, but always, day and night, she was just outside. When on that Wednesday evening the doctor said Ward would live, she went down once more into her garden. Many times during those three days had Elinor tried to pray to Ward's God and found herself voiceless and inarticulate. But now, out of the depth of her great relief, came welling the first prayer of her life. She stood waist-deep among her phlox and larkspur. "I thank thee," she said. "I thank thee." . . . Nothing had been heard of Huff. The assault on the assistant rector of Saint Jude's had been of a line with the other mysterious happenings around the village. The little town was hag-ridden with fear. Extra constables had been sworn In, and from the hall, during her long night vigils, Elinor had seen many lighted windows, where there had been but the one. The problem of her future began to obsess her. It was plainly Impossible to stay on here—not that she feared exposure; she was quite past fear— but the thought of going on with her life was Intolerable. To meet Ward, to see again the scorn and loathing in his eyes, more than all, to continue to deserve them—those were the things that to Elinor seemed worse than death itself. All the philosophy that old Hilary had taught her failed her now. The revolt of the individual against laws made for the masses—what had It brought her but isolation and grief? Of what use was revolt? All must go through the mills of the gods. She knew that now. There were no exceptions. And something else she had learned: that If one is to live through great crises one must have a higher power to turn to for help. She Had felt It vaguely at the time of her father's death. Sitting outside Ward's door she had known It. Every breath had been a prayer to something, she knew not what, to save him. "I thank thee," she said again. The phlox and larkspur quivered about her as if under the touch of a gentle hand. Boroday had been free for three days, but beyond a telephone message announcing his release she had heard nothing of him. Over the wire he had advised extreme caution. She Judged from that that things were not going well. She knew that Huffs reckless crime would demand a scapegoat There were bound to be arrests. All this Elinor knew quite well. It was in such an atmosphere that she had drawn her earliest breaths—the play of cunning against cunning, wit against w i t She did not send for Boroday. She dared not. But because the intimacy between her and the middle-aged Russian had always been very close, he seemed to feel her need. And so, on that Wednesday night an hour or so after midnight he came. Old Henriette came down and tapped softly at Elinor's door. "Boroday," she whispered. "He has rung from the r.rbor." That was one of old Hilary's devices: a hidden wire from the arbor to tho house. It prevented collisions. Unless otherwise summoned, no member of his band ever came directly to the house. Elinor went ont and found him there. He bent over her hand and kissed i t as was his custom, and then, realizing that she was crying, he held out his arms and she went into them. Very tender was the Russian with her that night very fatherly. He put her Into one of the arbor seats and sat down beside her. "Now tell me," he commanded, "everything from the s t a r t It was Walter, I know. But why!* When she did not speak, the Russian nodded. "Jealousy, of course, but what madneMf* There la the arbor, wtth her hand between two of his, Elinor sobbed out the story of the pearl mid her attempt to return It, ilufTs threut uguinst Ward, Ward's evening visit, und the scene between them ; und lust of ull. the shot that had nearly ended everything in this world for Ward und for her. Boroday listened quietly ; better than old Hilary ever could, he understood. He had been reared on an undent faith. "He is recovering?" "Yes." "And he cures for you, of course7" "No. I think, perhaps, before he knew—" "Bah!" said the Russian, and rose. "What sort of love Is that which changes? I have seen the man. If he cured at all, he still cares." He stepped to the door of the arbor and drew a long breuth. Over on the next hill, sleeping through all this turmoil, lay old Hilary. Under these same stars Huff fled the law, Ward tossed on his bed, Elinor sat despairing and ashamed. What did it all mean? What was the answer? Perhaps, had he known It, old Henriette could have told him—Henriette, who had begun to measure her days from the end and not from the beginning, and who now sat on the edge of her bed mumbling. Between her fingers she ran the beads of an old rosary which she had found beneath a carpet. "I had thought," said Elinor wistfully, "that If I could get away somewhere and start all over again, perhaps some day I might be good—like other women. I can never go back to things as they were before." "No," said the Russian, "1 can see t h a t But make no mistake. You are good as few are good." "I could sell the house and—and I do not want the jewels. If only you and the others would divide them." But Boroday would not hear of this. To a certain extent he was reconciled to her going away. Things were closing in on the band. Before long they would probably all have to separate. It were better that Elinor be In safety. So for a long time they discussed ways and means, available money, the question of a home for old Henriette. "In some ways," Elinor said, "I feel as though I am deserting him." She "I understand," said the chief, "thut the Bryant pearl has been recovered." "Yes, und good work on the part of the force," was Talbot's comment. If the chief smiled under his heavy mustache, If there was the faintest possible twinkle lu Talbot's eyes, who was there to see'/ Talbot took the chief down to the station in his gray machine. They had chatted very pleasantly. But Just opposite the steps from Elinor's garden they blew out a tire. The cur swerved, suddenly throwing the light from the lumps along the bank. Standing In the shadows, and thus unexpectedly revealed, was Boroday. Talbot brought the car to a stop and jumped out. The Husslan had gone on down the hill. "Awfully sorry," said Talbot. "Looks as if you'd have to walk down. Perhaps you will tind another car to pick you up." "I shall rather enjoy the walk," said the chief, eyes ahead in the darkness. "Whose place is this?" Talbot glanced up and around. T r a afraid I don't know anything about the village." He opened the toolbox. The chief took two or three steps along the road and turned. "About here, wasn't It, that the Episcopal clergyman was shot?" "I cannot tell you that either. It was somewhere along this road." "Good night," sang the chief cheerily, and started down the hill. Boroday had corae out of the Hilary Kingston place. He knew that. Right here, almost where he stopped, was where Ward had been found. Then, In spite of old Hilary's death, the band was still using his house! Things were closing up. Boroday tramped on down the road. About one hundred yards behind the chief followed. Talbot, hammering at a recalcitrant tire, filled the air with the short, angry raps of his hammer on the rim. . . . The Russian had an almost uncanny sense of pursuit. More than once in his life it had saved him, and now he knew he was being followed. He made no attempt whatever to throw his pursuer off the track, but went directly to the station. There he got an evening paper at the closing news stand and glanced over it, standing under an arc light. For all his engrossment he saw quite distinctly the figure of the chief as he crossed the track and took up his station behind a pillar of the tralnshedt/ Boroday was thinking hard. It hod been that unlucky swerving of a machine on the hill that had betrayed him. He knew that now. And he had AUSTRALIANS GREAT HUNTERS "Bury Them In Old Hilary's Grave." glanced toward the graveyard where old Hilary slept. "But all I can think of now is to get away, to forget everything." "When will they be able to move Mr. Ward?" "In a week, I should think." "Then, in a week," said Boroday, "where do you think of going, Elinor?" "I had hardly got so far. Anywhere but here." "We shall have to plan for you." He picked up his soft hat and Elinor rose. "Good night, Elinor." "Good night. I am always happier for having seen you." He watched her back to the house, then went down the steps Into the road. There had been a dinner at the country club that night The chief had attended it, unknown to hostess and guests, to the extent of sitting in the grillroom during the evening and carefully watching the men who came and went. He had dined quite alone in the grill. From where he sat he could see the dinner-party guests on the veranda. There were noticeably few jewels to be seen. Over his chop and lager beer the chief smiled grimly. After that he shook dice for a short time with a young Englishman named Talbot, an interesting fellow. From him the chief got the club view of the Jewel robbery. "It's been coming to us for a long time," said Talbot shaking the dice, "Long ago I advised some of the women who had famous pearls to have copies made and keep the originals In their banks, but they disliked the idea of wearing imitations." «1 see." "Then a woman isn't satisfied to have a string of pearls; she must have It announced in all the papers. Of course crooks all over the country read about them, and naturally their fingers Men." Knowledge of the Hablta of Animals Makes Up for Crude Weapons and Lack of Endurance. In endurance and speed the Australian aborigine is not the equal of the American Indian, and his weapons of wood and poorly fashioned stones are effective only at short range, says the National Geographic Magazine. But as a hunter the native Australian Is marvelously adapted to his environment. His success lies In an intimate knowledge of the habits of the animals on land, ID the ground, in trees and under water, and his wonderfully developed power of observation. He decoys pelicans by Imitating their crys, catches ducks by diving below them, locates an opossum in a tree by marks on the bark or by the flight of mosquitoes, finds sharks by observing the action of birds and follows a bee to its store of honey. Any animal which leaves a track however dim in sand, on rock or in grass falls an easy prey to the native. Children are taught to track lizards and snakes over bore rocks and to find their absent mothers by following tracks too indistinct to serve as a guide for any European. When a white man is lost in the desert or a child strays from home the final resort is to secure a "black tracker.** Just come out of the Kingston places li was bud, very bad. Boroday rode all the way into th« city with the chief a dozen seats behind him. The chief did not follow hii.i home. He knew where he Jived, and he could lay his hand on him when he wanted him. He was going to want him now pretty soon. The Kussiaa knew that, too. When he had entered his apartment and turnwd on the light, he found HufT standing by a window. The hoy ducked buck as the light went up. For a moment the two eyed one another. Huff was unshaven, sunkeneyed, dirty. The contrast between this wild-eyed hoy und the tall Russian was strong. "Well?" said Huff defiantly. "Sit down." Boroday's tone was kind. He went to u closet -and got out a bottle of vodka. "When did you have anything to eat?" "I arn net hungry." Nevertheless Boroday forceu Ja Mm a Uttle bread au# meat "I didn't know you were out until tonight," Huff said at last, pushing his plate away. "Where have you been?" "Drinking my head off in a dive on Fortieth street," said Huff savagely. "I'm all right now." "What got into you, Walter? For you to turn on us like that—to expose everyone of us, as you have—" "She was in love with him. I wish Td killed him." Very patiently, Boroday told him what had happened. Over the matter of the Bryant pearl he passed as lightly as he could. But Huff realized the significance of Elinor's placing It in the almsbox. He went rather white. "We would have got off with the country club matter well enough, but this murderous frenzy of yours has finished us all. We'll have to break up and get away. I want you to go out to Elinor's tonight." "She will not see me." "I think she will," said Boroday. "1 want her to get away the first thing in the morning. Let her empty the vault.'* He hesitated. Elinor's fortune In Jewels was becoming a menace. Whoever took them In charge was possibly putting a halter around his neck. "Bring the Jewels to tne. if you have a chance. If It seems better, perhaps you'd better bury them out there." ."Where?" "You might," said the Russian thoughtfully, "bury them In old Ull* ary's grave." (TO BE CONTINUED.) Fifteen on the Fifteenth. Were I brought to believe that a birthday celebration is ever an affair of unmixed loveliness, I should perhaps be brought to say It concerning one for fifteen on the fifteenth. Fourteen on the fourteenth lacks flavor, is a little unripe, like fruit Imported before the real season is at hand. Sixteen on the sixteenth Is a little over-mellow, a little late; already childhood Is gone, and youth, however lovely It may be In the receiving of homage and favors, should already have its hands outstretched rather to bestow them. But fifteen on the fifteenth! There Is a golden mean and a time for all things, as the Scriptures and the fairy tnlea tell us. This was the time to dance, that King Solomon talks about. Like the "Tuney Bear's" soup in the old tale, this party to celebrate fifteen on the fifteenth seems to me as nearly right as things can be conceived In a world of chance like our own.—Lnura Spencer Porter, In the Atlantic. Rheumatism Superstition*. It Is when it comes to rheumatism that old superstitions come most definitely to the fore, and there are scores of cures and preventives which have come down through the centuries. One of these which the Belgians have introduced to the fighting men at the front is the wearing of a strip of catskin beneath the coat. According to the Belgians, this makes you Immune from both rheumatism and gout, and with the trenches deep with mud and ley water, the average soldier, whether in France or England, is only too glad to "tatfe a chance" on any sort of preventive, and it is said that scores of domestic prissy cats have been offered up as a sort of sacrifice to provide whole regiments with the coveted strip of far. The fad has spread to England, where "catakin** bands are now sold; but so far America has been content with the theory that the wearing of a steel ring, or the carrying of a potato in the pocket would keep off the dread aching of joints and muscle*. Exequatur in Diplomatic Use. Exequatur Is a Latin word, third person singular, present tense, subjunctive mood of the verb exequl, to execute or perform. It means "he may act," and Is the technical term applied to the permit which a government grants a foreign consul to not within its borders. A consul owes his appointment to his own government, but he cannot net until he has received an exequatur, or permit to act, from the government to which he Is accredited, and if he is an unacceptable person or for any reason offensive to the government where he is sent It may refuse to grant him an exequatur and he cannot act. Not only may the government of the country to^whlch a consul is sent refuse to grant him an exequatur, but, after It has been granted, that government may at any time revoke it for reasons of its own, tbua depriving the consul of the right to act.

Mr. W. limes Paterson of Red Cloud, Neb., writes that the change in that state since the dry law went Into effect is marvelous. He says : "On the 4th of July a celebration was held in this town, and I don't think I ever saw a quieter crowd In a place of Its size and not a single intoxicated person. Aiino.sc every family has an automobile and everywhere remarks such us 'Not a drunken man,' 'What a difference from other years,' 'We will never go back to it, "There is nothing can be said in favor of it/ are heard. There was not a single auto accident; not an Incident to mar the pleasure. The farmers' families were well-dressed, with money to spend. Even big cities that it was thought would be drastically affected by the sudden change, are vowing never again will they allow the curse to blight. There is absolutely no argument for Its continued use In any civilized country after the demonstration In the United States." A U T H O R I T A T I V E TESTIMONY. In a telegram to President Wilson, the mayor of Savannah, Ga., thus testified to the value of prohibition as an economic measure: "Prohibition in Savannah has produced astonishing economic benefits. Following are the percentages of reduction of arrests for crime: Assault with intent to murder, 04; burglary, 47; drunk and disorderly, 72; larceny, 50; larceny after trust, 76; murder, 86 2-3; lunacy, 54; number of convicts reduced, 50 per cent. Approximately 3,000 less calls for patrol wagon and 10,000 less articles pledged with pawnbrokers than in previous years of open saloons. Farmers and other employers of labor agree efficiency and reliability of labor Increased 50 per cent. Enormous quantity of grain required for production of alcoholic drinks Is urgently needed for food. It will be a crime to allow continued waste in this manner. National prohibition during war is of vital Importance." DRINK AND W H I T E 8LAVERY. Miss Kate J. Adams, .social worker of Chicago, and author of the Kate Adams law, tells us that girls are disappearing in that city at the rate of three every two days—more than 500 a year. Most of these are without doubt victims of the white slave traffic. "The federal government," says Miss Adams, "maintains a special white slave officer in all cities of 25,000 or more Inhabitants which have segregated vice districts, but"—note this statement particularly—"it is a significant fact that it is not necessary for the government to keep men in towns which are In dry territory, or In which there Is no regular 'line,' a point which proves what I have always maintained, that no vice district can thrive or even exist for any length of time without whisky." MAKE IT NATION-WIDE. The action of the government In prohibiting the sale of liquor to soldiers proves that it recognizes the fact that prohibition is right In principle and expedient In policy. Then why not extend it? If in the interests of health and efficiency enlisted men are given federal protection from Demon Rum, why not also the men who are doing war work at home? Why not the boys who will later be summoned to military service? To be fit for war and for the work of reconstruction after the war, America must conserve and strengthen every bit of physical and mental power in her citizenship. Protect the home, the office, the shop, from the raids of m m ! Give us nation-wide prohibition! TWO OF A KIND. The brewers used 68,400.000 bushels of grain in 1916. This grain would make annually cargoes for over a thousand vessels of 1,600 tons each. German submarines are sinking only about twenty vessels of all classes a week and but a small per cent of these are loaded with grain. Which is rendering the kaiser the better service, his submarines or the brewers of the United States ?—The American Issue. A GOOD MOVE. *It wouldn't 'be ft bad Idea," recently laid the Country Gentleman. **lf more tobacco growers agreed with the Wisconsin farmer who wrote to his expefUntHt station that he was gttng to put his tobacco lands into grain beesoss he fslt it his duty to grow crops fct food. In an emergency like this it |g fMttfc While to seat John Barley- 's* tfco toboggan with My Lady a d gLre them a good swift Tests Gas on Dogs. Stray dogs are being used by a professor iu Vale medical school to test out u new gus, which he believes to be more deadly than the chlorine combination used by the Germans, lie admits he is working on the poison gas problem, but says all further Information must come from the war department, wilh which he is in dully communication. • Because of thu widespread epidemic of rubies In the state of Connecticut, notes an exchange, the commissioner on domestic animals has placed a quarantine In ail the towns webt of the Connecticut river and ordered that all stray dogs be Impounded, and If i«> claim of ownersrlp Is made within 72 hours they are to be sent to the professor. GREEN'S AUGUST FLOWER has been a household panacea all over the civilized world for more than half a century for constipation, Intestinal troubles, torpid liver and the generally depressed feeling that accompanies such disorders. It is a most valuable remedy for indigestion or nervous dyspepsia and liver trouble, bringing on headache, coming of up food, palpitation of heart and many other symptoms.

Royal Baking Powder saves eggs in baking In many recipes only half as many eggs are required, in some none at all, if an additional quantity of Royal Baking Powder is used, about a teaspoon, in place of each egg omitted. Try the following recipes which also conserve white flour as urged ay the government. Saving the Bullets. There are several kinds of airplanes adapted to different kinds of, military service and their equipment varies according to whether they are Intended chiefly for scouting, for bomb dropping or for gun fighting. On most of the machines of the last-named or battleplane type, a writer in the Scientific American says, a machine gun is so fitted as to point along on axis of the machine. The pilot, who is alone, directs the nose of his airplane at the enemy and fires across the propeller. Two plans were tried for preventing the propeller from being broken by the bullets. The first consisted of stopping the machine gun whenever the propeller came within the field of fire, but experience showed that frequent stopping of the gun with the propellers making 1,200 revolutions a minute ends In putting the gun out of order. Designers then placed steel plates on those parts of the propeller likely to be struck, and these plates turn the bullets that strike the propeller.

Gray Matter Counts. *'Th^ author of this story is n clever chap." "That so?" "Yes, it takes brains to sell such rot."—Judge. Murder Will Out. A French woman with a sense of humor once told this story : She was walking up a flight of stairs In one of those Paris apartment houses with a mirror at the head of each landing. As she glanced up, panting, she thought she saw a woman descending. She said to herself: "Well, if I were that fat old woman I should knowT better than to dress in that ridiculous way." When she reached the head of the stairs she confronted herself. Verbal. Robert's father received this communique from his son, absent In the halls of learning. "Dear Father : I am sorry to say that I was mistaken when I wrote last week that the prof, had said that my abilities were mathematical. He said that they were problematical. Affectionately, ROBERT." Looks That Way. "You know these war rates?" "Yes." "Are they going to hurt matters?" "I dunno. I fear that. 3-cent postage Is going to put a lot of poets out of business." Reads Like Fiction. One of the most recent salvages yet recorded in these days of submarine warfare, says Popular Science Monthly, Is that of the Norwegian steamship Konsgsli, whose cargo of grain swelled to such an extent on the Inrush of water through the ragged hole torn In her side by a torpedo, that the hole was clogged up and the water prevented from flowing in and sinking her. A party of fishermen, clambering aboard to discover the trouble, were amazed to find that the ragged hole on one side and hull plates torn loose on the other by the force of the explosion had been effetlvely plugged by the swollen grain. The fishermen were afraid to attempt to tow her because the rush of the water along her sides might have washed away the effective grain seal. Accordingly, they Improvised bales made of cotton filled with grain and forced these Into the holes. This made the stoppage secure enough to enable the vessel to be towed to a nearby port. Through and Through. The two men in blue were exchanging confidences on the veranda of a big military hospital In France. "Did you go to that big society party they gave for us crocked fellows yesterday?" "Yes," said the other and shuddered. "What did you think of it?" "Believe me, old bloke, I'd rather have another ball go through me than go through another ball." Ridiculed His Wife. Mental cruelty was the ground upon which a woman obtained a divorce in Reno, Nev.

"Have you a recommendation from your last place?" "Yes, mum. Here It Is." "Why, that's a wrist watch." "Yes, mum. The master of the house—a poor gentleman who's dead now—gave me that for cooking his eggs the way he wanted 'em." It takes a woman with sound judgment to generate silence.

Why does Mrs. Smith use Instant Postum Sometimes, because it agrees with Mr. Smith better than coffee. Sometimes, because she herself likes its constant rich, coffeelike flavor better than some coffees she has used. Sometimes, because the children are so fond of it, and she can give it to them freely when she would hesitate to give them coffee. There's a variety of reasons—all good ones—why so many consistent housewives are using INSTANT POSTUM And another reason, not to.be overlooked these times, is its reasonable cost.

REEVES, Stockbridge. fiw Delivered by the Great Evangelist Last Sunday Morning ALMIGHTY GOD, our Heavenly Father, we pray Thee that the war may continue until Prussian militarism is swept off the face of the earth,until the snake of autocracy is crushed forever, until democracy is unshackled, until justice has a fair show, Until the virtue of woman is sure of protection, until little children no longer go hungry, until the kaiser and his cohorts have unpacked their trunks on St. Helena's birren rocks. And in the meantime give ?ach one of us the fighting spirit that led the crusaders to victory. If we do not fight with our hands in the trenches, help us to fight with sacrificing hearts at home. Thou knowest, Lord, we have not en - tered this bloody war because of avarice or freed and we do not covet Germany's gold or land. We have drawn the sword to defend our country against the most infamous, blood-thirsty horde of human harpies that ever disgracei the earth. They respect neither law nor religion; nothing ia sacred if it stands in their path. Lord, bless the president; give him wisdom; bless all the councils of state and war. Keep us a united nation in fact and spirit. Bless the army and navy. j Many of our brave boys already sleep ' somewhere in France or beneath the j sea. Bring victory to your cause be- j cause we know it is Your cause. We have joined hands and hopes and hearts with our noble allies that this world may be t u f : place in which to live.

CUSTER DIVISION WILL GO TO FRANCE OFFICERS DENY THAT CAMP IS TO BE MADE PERMANENT DEPOT BRIGADE. FIRST TROOPS ARRIVE AT WACO Contingent From Custer Sent to Fill Guard Ranks Makes Trip to Texas Without Incident Loosing. Division officials at Camp Custer have spiked for all time reports that the eighty-flfth division will become a depot or stay-at-home organization, by announcing it is preparing as hastily as possible for service in France. A story had been started in camp that the entire division at Camp Custer was to be a depot division for the rest of the new national army. Since the order was received to ship men south to strengthen National Quard units, members of the organization became almost certain they were not going abroad for a long time. Officers pointed out that the HH nois division at Camp Grant, Rockford, Ills., has been called on to send men to the Illinois National Guard the same as Michigan and Wisconsin have been asked to supply their state units. A well-imbedded belief it is destined to remain in this country would have a bad effect on the morale of the division, as most of the men wish to get to France as soon as possible. The statement of division officials is that the Eighty-fifth will not remain at home as a depot brigade, but has an equal chance with the 17 other divisions of the National army to get to France first. There are 16 divisions of white men and one of Negroes in the race. Cutter Boya Arrrve at Waco. To the tune of "There'll Be a Hot Time In the Old Town Tonight," 600 selective soldiers from Camp Custer, Battle Creek, Mich., were welcomed at Camp McArthur, Waco, Texas, last Friday, and before taps many of them had experienced the novelty of crawling through the war-like dugouts and zig-zag trenches that are being used here. Met at the camp railroad yards by the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Michigan band and a group of officers, the boys received a greeting that dispelled all doubts as to the sort of reception awaiting them at the hands of national guardsmen. The trip from Battle Creek to Texas was without incident, and when the young soldiers arrived all were in perfect condition, except one, who was taken to an infirmary for treatment. By an order received at division headquarters from the war department today, the selective soldiers will be treated "in every respect as original members of the organizations to which they are assigned." Hereafter they will be known as National Guardsmen. Train Guards in Trenches at Waco. Training of infantry regiments under artillery fire Is advocated by Gen. L. C. Covell, of Michigan, now at Camp McArthur, Waco, Texas. Gen. Covell believes that this training could be accomplished while artillery regiments are practising on thp new range "Men who have been under firo sav that while the noise at first drives thorn nearly crazy, they get accustomed to it ?oon," said the general. In any event Michigan and Wisconsin guardsmen at Waco will experience trench life on this side. As soon aa the elaborate system of trenches is constructed, the troops will make their homes under ground while they are being trained. It is said that the government has spent more money on these trenches than was spent for any one thing except the actual building of the cantonment. The order demolishing the Michigan signal battalion (headquarters Ypsilanp) went through last week and Maj. (Glean H. Arnold and other officers are without commands. jPrnddsn Oeea for More Coal. f i r e hundred cars of emergency coal i t Inadequate for Michigan and State Administrator William K.

The state fire marshal's office is busy investigating several tires which occurred last week at food storage places in various parts of the state, as well as some reported attempts to blow up others. "I almost feel that if we found some body who was Uying to set fire or blow up food storage plant I'd be in favor of forgetting the law," said Governor Sleeper in commenting on the craven deeds. "Of course, I would want to make sure we had the right persons; but that sort of criminal is almost too heinous to think about." The state will take no action in regard to the guarding of storage plants. This has been the position taken before and it was reiterated today by the governor. Individual owners of plants or insurance companies which have policies on such plants should see to it that sufficient guards are furnished to prevent incendiarism. While the state-paid guards are ready to answer any call for help, they will not be sent to guard any private plant unless the owners of the plant pay them the same wages and board them as the state does. State Insurance Commissioner Ellsworth under whose jurisdiction all the investigations come, says he will in vestigate all fires. r~ Harmless 0 Hogs Fed On Camp Waste. Pork so cheap and so plentiful that it will affect the world price of meat, is a prophecy of Lieutenant Colonel Ellison, representing Brlgalier-General Lytell, in charge of cantonment construction at Camp Custer. The fat on the ribs of the porkers will be made from the waste in army cantonments. Heretofore when a quartermaster officer was needed he might be drawn frim the line and sent out to buy beef or clothes without the slightest know, ledge of what he was doing. But in this war the professio no fthe quartermaster is down to a fine art. Where before refuse, condemned tents and clothing were burned, they will now be saved. But the most Interesting thing is the food waste question and its solution. Not an ounce of food will be wasted, even parts of the camp sewage being turned to commercial purposes. Near every cantonment are one or more immense hog farms which take the tons of refuse and feed it to hogs and the result is expected to be a glut of pigs in the market Old clothing is saved, all waste paper Is baled, and In each regiment will be a complete shoerepairing outfit, on wheels, where the boys may have their shoes "tapped" free of charge. In this way millions of do! lars are expected to be saved yearly. BRAZIL DECLARES WAR ON GERMANY CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES VOTE8 TO BACK PRESIDENT'S 8TAND AGAIN8T TEUTONS. SENATE'S APPROVAL UNANIMOUS Anticipating Seizure of the Gunboat Eber, the German Crew Fired and Sunk the 8hlp. Eligible Officers Being Listed. Company commanders at Camp Custer have received an order to send in a list of names of the men in, their or ganizations who they believe are fitted to take a course in the next officers' training camp. A school will be held simultaneously in each camp of the country, beginning January 5 and ending April 5. Not more than 1 7-10 per cent' of an organization can enter the lists. The orders read that the company commanders shall recommend men between the ages of 21 and 40, using as a basis military appearance, ability for leadership and behavior. Graduate or undergraduates of colleges, universities or military schools are preferred. Upon being chosen to study for a commission, a recruit will be relieved of his duties and attached to the school, but will continue to draw the pay which he was drawing when transferred. At the conclusion of his three months' coarse of training in the school, the recruit, if successful, will be recommended for a commission as second lieutenant He will not receive the commission immediately, however, but will be advanced when a vacancy appears. It is expected that over 500 men will be selected to attend the school. Rio Janeiro—By an almost unanimous vote the chamber of deputies last Friday declared that a state of war existed between Germany and Brazil. The vote was 149 to 1. The senate unanimously approved the proclamation of a state of war with Germany. The tribunes of the chamber were filled to capacity. After a debate on the opportuneness of proclaming martial law, the president of the diplomatic commission spoke In favor of a law worded as follows: "A state of war between Brazil and Germany is hereby acknowledged and proclaimed. The president of the republic is authorized to adopt the measures enunciated in his message of the 25th of October and to take all steps tending to Insure national defense and public security." The virtually unanimous vote of the deputies was received with general acclamation. Anticipating sezure of the gunboat Eber, 984 tons, which has been lying at the port of Babia, Germans set on fire and sank the ship. U. S. CURBS WHOLESALE PRICES Selling Price Now Mutt be Based on Cost, Not on Market Conditions. CAMP CUSTER NOTES Augusta, a small town on the outskirts of camp, has entered the lists In the race for some of the golden dot* lars which are being dispensed by Uncle Sam at Custer. One large Chicago furnishinig store has opened a branch there and It is reported one of Detroit's large department stores will soon be in the field with a full line of military supplies. Changes of heart occur daily In unwilling recruits. One man is now In a peculiar dilemma. He was sent to Custer while his appeal was still before the district board.

They have to do with a large number of commodltes. The rule is one of a large number which are now being completed for the guidance of the food dealers who this week are being placed under licenses by the food administration* It provides that no dealer in certain specified commodities shall sell "at more than a reasonable advance .over the actual purchase price of the particular goods sold without regard to the market or replacement value." The commodities covered by the rule include beef, pork and mutton, syrups and molasses, cleaned rice and rice flour, oleomargarine, lard and lard substitutes, oleo oil, cooking fats, condensed milk and various canned goods and dried fruits. Wholesale dealers in refined sugar are to be regulated by a similar rule. GOVERNMENT CUTS BEAN PRICE Sets Figure at $1.47 to $1.82 Below Current Market Prices. Detroit.—New government prices for beans throughout the country were announced in Detroit Sunday by W. J. Orr, of Saginaw, chairman of the bean committee of the war industries board. The new standard prices, said to be a material reduction, were contained in the following telegram to Mr. Orr from Washington: "The following prices will apply to dry beans for the army placed during the period, October 5 to November 15, f. o. b. San Francisco, Cal„ common pinto, California choice white beans, small, per l b , 1 cents; medium, 11 cents; red, pink, Bayo, 8 1.8; Lima, 11 1-2; kidney, 10 3-4, f. o. b.; Colorado, New Mexican pinto, 7 3-4; Michigan choice hand picked white, 1 1-2 f. o. b.; New York state, New York choice hand picked white, 11 5-8. Beans must meet requirements of army specifications on a-single bag basis. On double bags one-eighth of a cent per pound advance over the preceding prices will be allowed." These prices average from $1.47 a bushel to $1.82 a bushel less than dealers in Michigan have been paying growers. All bean dealers in Michigan are operating under a federal license since November. FIRST QUOTA NOT AFFECTED New Draft Regulations, Tentative, Not In Force Yet. Washington — Provost Marshal- Genera! Crowder formally notified the governors of states last Saturday that the proposed changes in the draft regulations, involving classification of registrants, does not affect the quota which has been chosen. He also gave notice that the new regulations still are In tentative form and will not be interpreted at this time. This telegram was sent to the gov ernors: "Inquiries from several states indicate that the impression exists that the proposed change in the regulations involving classification of registrants will be effective before the present quota is in camp. "This impression is a mistaken one. The entire flrst quota will be chosen under the regulations now In force. As the new regulations are aa yet in tentative form and win not be retroactive, it is manifestly inadvisable to answer questions concerning them or to construe or interpret them a t this time."

Late reports from Dublin contain the information that Sinn Felners have already taken steps toward a revolution against England. The conference of Sinn Felners at Dublin promised that the provisional government of Irejand should be established without delay. It adopted a provisional constitution aimed at obtaining international recognition and providing for the convocation of a constitstkmal assembly.

At this conference the taty reported Chat Washington—The nation was thrilled last Saturday by word that American troops at last were face to face with the Germans across No Man'B land. Announcement by Gen. Pershing that several battalions of his infantry were in the front line trenches, supporter by American batteries, which already had gone into action against the enemy, fanned a new flame of patriotism throughout the country. The absolute silence with wheih Secretary Bakdr and war department officials greeted the news, however, showed that although the movement into the trenches had been expected at any time, it was regarded only as the final phase of Qe men's training— a military finishing school conducted under fire—a school of blood and iron. German shells are breaking about the American forces although they have not taken over the trench sector. Rifle, machine guns, bombs and bayonets in American hands will greet any enemy attack. Casualties to Be Expected. Casualties among the American forces are to be expected. Reports from the front already show intermittent artJUery firing and a wellaimed shell may claim American victims at any moment. There is nothing to indicate, however, that an offensive operation by the Americans and their French associates is to be expected, outside of possible trenouraiding. The Bector where the front line training school has been established is described as one of the quietest on the front and if this condition continues, it will tend to minimize losses. Will Take Over Section. In time a complete section of the front will be Americanized in every detail. How wide this front will be, where on the long line it is to be located and similar questions are matters about which no speculation is permitted. Saturday's announcement brings appreciably closer, however, the day when the actual fighting front of the American army in France will be established and when American energy will be engaged directly in the task of crushing German military power. The long period of waiting and preparation is past its first Irksome stages. From now on, the military power of the United States in France will grow steadily and the results of the months of army-building wiii begin to make themselves felt in their drive of steel against the German ranks. POLISH ARMY IS APPROVED War Department Sanctions Raising 150,000 for Service Abroad. f Washington—Official approval has been given by the war department to Ignace Paderewski's project of raising a Polish army of 150,000 in this country for service in Europe. In announcing this, Secretary Baker explained thft the force will '•not be articulated directly with the American army," but refused to give any further Information, saying the plan was wholly that of its originators. It is against the policy of the department to admit such special organizations to the ranks of the American army. Aid in the way of equipment and training, however, probably will be given the Poles. The fact that thousands of Poles In this country have seen army service in Europe had much to do with the de partment's decision. % THE ITALIAN CABINET RESIGNS Failure to 8uppiy Coal and Pood Causes Upheaval.

"I see," Ward said slowly. "It was you who telephoned me and then rang oft" "When you say that I am good and tender," Elinor went on, "you shame me. I am all that is bad and wicked. Everything. You were to have been robbed tonight. 1 brought you here under false pretense." Ward wa* as white as she. His figure straightened. "Then all the time that I have been telling you—" **I did not hear. I was watching the time." Personal fear Ward had none. He did not even follow Elinor's eyes as they glanced once more at the clock. Mrs. Bryant's venomous Insinuations came back to him, all the village talk of the girl's strange rearing. Fearful thoughts flashed Into his mind, to be dismissed, shaken off doggedly. "I shall never believe anything that you do not tell me yourself. But it Is only fair to me that now at last there be frankness between us." "There are othors," Elinor said, with dry lips.

"You? Then all this time that you have seen what you must have seen In my eyes, you have been—-" •*—At the head of a band of thieves," Elinor said slowly. Ward released her, and turning took a slow survey of the room. "Then I suppose this Is a trap?" he Bald. "It Is not a trap." Her voice was dead. "I opposed this—this plan from the start. That is the reason one of the men—of my friends—suspected that I—" "Go on. What did he suspectr "That I—but that doesn't matter. He burned the parish house and planned all this. Tonight he meant to get the money from you, and I—was desperate. I could think of no other way." Ward's faith In her was slow to die. He took a step toward her, his hands out then dropped them at his sides. "Then—the night the parish house burned, when I came down in the dawn and found you sitting there"—he clenched his hands—"all the time you knew. You knew! And I had thought—" He went to <the table and, opening the box, slipped the notes and money It contained into hfs pocket Then be buttoned his coat about him. Elinor watched him stonily. "You are going back down the bill?" "I am going home." He did not even look at her. I f you would only go some place else," she said pitifully. "To the club, or to Mrs. Bryant's. Please believe me. Whatever I am, and I have told you the worst I am trying to think of you tonight not of myself." "I am going back to my house," said the assistant rector of Saint Jude's. He got as far as the door on to the terrace, and there he turned. It was as if he dared not look at her, as If he meant to carry away with him some tenderer memory than of this whitelipped, guilty woman before him. "If I seem hard," he said unsteadily, I t is because I am suffering. You are quite safe, of course. I shall not go to the police." Had he cared less he would have been more merciful. Old Henrietta watched his figure as be went down the garden steps and Into the road. "Strange things in this house r she mumbled, shaking her head. •'Preachers coming and going at all hours, and Bftnor In a church this morning. Strange things, Hilary Kingston, since She shuffled along the terrace and into the house, her thin black shawl drawn about her shoulders. la the library Elinor lay face down on the floor. Old Henrietta bent over her. -My lamb, soy pet." she soothed her. ••He's a tne man, but there are many And when one Is yoang and bat only old of the wu* from a table drawer old Hilary's revolver and carried It out under her shawl. She was very wise, was wrinkled Henrlette, and she knew the Kingston blood. Ward came down the road rapidly. There was a faint moon. One part of his mind had ceased to work; his higher faculties were dormant with misery, with the anesthesia that comes for a time after great grief or shock. Physically be was entirely alert; his keen eyes searched each clump of shrubbery before he reached it .Not that he feared attack for himself; his cup of life was bitter to his taste that night, but he carried a trust in his pockets, that he would deliver. Huff was waiting at the foot of the Kingston place, crouched behind a wall. If the boy had been jealous before, he was maddened now. Ward had been with Elinor. Huff, coming up the hill had heard his short goodnight to Henrlette in the garden, had heard him come down the hill. There were only two explanations. Either the man was in love with her and had gone up that night of his own volition, or Elinor had sent for him. One was as bad as the other. Ward did not have a chance. As he came abreast of the wall, the boy fired and he pitched forward on his face. With the re-echoing of the shot among the hills, HuffB madness died away. Murder was not his game; violent and sudden death perhaps, but never, before, a shot from behind. Had the wealth of a city been In Ward's pockets, he could not have touched i t He thrust his revolver Into his pocket, and breaking away through the shrubbery commenced a swift but noiseless ascent of the hill. The assistant rector of Saint Jude's lay on his face in the road, with the morning offering of his congregation safe in his pockets. CHAPTIR X I . The chief sent for Boroday early the next morning. "You've turned the trick all right" he said, grimly smiling. Boroday, as immaculate as ever, settled his tie. "Yesf "Sit down," said the chief. "Now that you know you're going, I suppose you're not in any particular hurry." Boroday ran his hand over bis silky beard. "I should like to get to a barber." "There Is no great hurry, now," said the chief, when Boroday was comfortably settled and smoking one of his eternal Russian cigarettes, "I wish you would tell me why you disposed of that pearl the way you did. It wasnt quite up to our agreement you know. It was to be given to me and I was to return it Instead of that I bad to make a wild-goose chase out Into the country." "Ah 1" said Boroday, "Into the country!" The chief, who was accustomed to reading faces,watched Boroday closely. But If there was a tightening about the Russian's eyes, it was very faint T o n know blamed well," said the chief peevishly, "just where I had to go to get that thing. And you know blamed well also that on Sunday afternoon I always play poker. It was— well, inconsiderate, to say the least" Boroday smiled. *T am exceedingly sorry that you were put to any trouble about it" he said. "But as you may understand, I have not yet seen my—friends, and of course—" He shrugged hlB shoulders. The chief was skeptical of his ignorance, neverthe less. He humored what he chose to consider Boroday's whim. First he gave him the note which he had received by special delivery the day before. Quick as he was, the Russian could not quite conceal his astonishment "In the slms box!" said the chief. "Somebody with a sense of humor had charge of this little affair. Bryant is senior warden, it seems, in this chmrch. It was clever." Boroday passed the letter back to him. "I shall ten my confreres. It is qntte original.*' The chief was smoking s large cigar. Untfke the police chief of Action and the dransa, he did not speak around the cigar, but carefully removed i t not ont of respect to his visitor, but out of deference to a good cigar. Now he tensed toward Boroday. ' he said slowly, "rt was , or it was "it has occurred to me," the chief went on, "that that little town has been pretty busy lately. There was that matter of the country club, you know, and lust Thursday ulght the parish house burned down." "Yes," said Boroday, politely. "And now something else has happened and—" Suddenly the chief beat hla desk with his fist—"I am pretty sick of It" Under perfect control as he was at critical moments, the Russian's hands hud a way of twitching. So now he flicked the ash from his cigarette and was politely Interested. "What happened last night 7" he inquired, "I think you know. If you don't I'll tell you. Yesterday morning a tremendous collection was taken up at the church of Saint Jade's to build a new parish house In place of the one that burned down. The rector has been away; the assistant rector took charge of the money." "I see." "Of course you see. What I would like to know Is why you fellows—" Boroday spread out his hands in his foreign way. "I fear you give me great credit. 1 do not deserve it" "—Why you fellows," the chief went on resolutely, "waited to do this job until the rector, who Is old and infirm, had gone away and left a husky young assistant in his place. And that isn't all I want to know." "In any way that I can assist you—" "What the devil do you mean," yelled the chief, "by shooting a man down and then going away and leaving the money In his pockets? It's— it's crude—it's wasteful I" The Russian's fingers twitched in spite of him. The chief saw it and smiled under his heavy mustache. "Do you mean that somebody shot this—er—assistant you speak of? That Is rather sad. Was there—much money?" "Seventy-eight thousand dollars," said the chief, and put his cigar back In bis mouth. '"There Is a story behind it, Boroday, and it's that story I am going to get I'm warning you because you've played pretty square with* me. I needed that pearl in my business." Boroday rose. "All right, chief," he said. "I am sorry about young Ward. I hope he wasn't, killed." "He wasn't killed," replied the chief. "And I haven't said his name was Ward. If yon haven't had your breakfast yet, we might breakfast together. I overslept and haven't had time for anything." Ward came back to consciousness In the great four-poster bedstead In which old Hilary Kingston had lain In state. He felfvery little pain and no curiosity at all as to his surroundings, only an overwhelming lassitude and weariness of life. Something—something that mattered very much had CLAMP IS CARPENTER'S AID New Device Designed to Held Siding in Place While the First Nail Is Being Started. It Is difficult for a man to nail siding on a house because he must hold the board in place while starting the first nail, as well as when marking and cutting the stock. A device made of a steel bar fitted to a weighted section of pipe overcomes this difficulty, says Popular Mechanics magazine. The end of the bar is hooked up to the studding and clamps the board securely. The clamp is made as follows: Procure a piece of soft galvanized steel bar H by 1 by 90 inches. Bend it together 14 inches from one end, and then bend the shorter part to a right angle, 5 inches from the end. Studding is usually 1¼ by S% inches, and the end of the longer part of the bar should be bent to this shape so as to hook around the studding. Allowance must be made for the thickness of the siding—usually % inch—and 1¼ Inches additional to give a proper clamping force. The handle is a piece of pipe, 7 inches long. After fitting it over the folded bar, weight It with about three pounds of lead. When the piece of siding is to be fitted into place, hook the clamp on the studding and drop It to bind. It will hold boards while marking and sawing them. For long boards, place the damp near the middle, and slide boards under i t Let Her Go On and Oft.

There was a uniformed nurse by the bed. He had a curloua untlputhy to asking her anything. He had made a promise of secrecy to someone— about whut? Towarri evening he had managed to evolve out of his reviving consciousness some faint memory of what had happened to him. He remembered that he was walking down a hill und that he hud fallen forward For qulC* a half-hour, late in the ufteruoon, he struggled to remember why he lmd gone down the hill. Then he got It. He had been up at the hull to sec Elinor. It was Elinor who hud guue out of his life. Elinor! Elinor!

"Of course it is not true," said the nurse, who was accustomed to b«lng called various things. "You did not mean It at alir He eyed her wistfully. The nurse was large and plain, with a wide, flat face. "You, with the eyes of a saint," said poor Ward, "to try to tell me that you are wicked. I see that it is impossible. I think I ean sleep now." The nurse put her hand, which was large and Ill-shaped but very light and tender, on his head. And so he went to sleep. When he was quite settled, the nurse went out into the hall where Elinor was sitting on a straight chair. She had sat there almost all of the time since Ward was carried up the night before.

Scientists who have been trying to find a way of preventing the fogged glass which often obscures the vision of a chauffeur or motorman In rainy weather and results In accidents, have decided that glycerin, properly used, b the best thing for preventing mist forming on the glass. It has long been used for this purpose by locomotive engineers, and a thorough test of Its efficacy proved that it Is deserving of wider use. To make glass fogies* la any kind of weather it should first be thoroughly cleaned and then rubbed with a doth wet with glycerin. When the drops of water strike a glass coated in this way they coalesce, forming a smooth, transparent film, which is no obstruction to vision.

Morals In Russian society are getting very loose, the sanctity of marriage is being challenged by too great a facility for obtaining divorce. Many girl marry in haste to get their Independence, and look upon their first matrimonial venture as a step to better themselves in the future, writes a correspondent. It seems paradoxical, but It Is nevertheless a fact that It is far easier for a married woman than for a spinster to find a husband. The breaking off of an engagement creates a scapdal, but the severing of matrimonial bond9 Is becoming quite the usual thing. The most insignificant misunderstanding causes husband and wife to break their marriage vows and go their different ways. Gossips chatter about Impending divorces as much as of budding engagements. In Russia a divorced woman does not lose a tithe of her reputation, if no outrageous scandal attaches to her divorce. Should she marry again, she returns to society with her new husband and enjoys all the prerogatives of her new position. The victims of this state of things are the unfortunate children.

The frame Is now six Inches, instead of three inches deep. And the body rests directly on this powerful frame, instead of on brackets extending from the sides, as in the past.

OMEBLA '3 aivd SKrub Their Care aivd CulfivatiQiv QUEEN OF THE GARDEN—THE ROSE. SOME TRIED WINTER HINTS By E. VAN BENTHUY8EN. When the hanging basket looks shabby, or Is at a standstill, It is very likely it has been neglected as regards watering. Remember it is wholly surrounded by air, and requires more water than the potted plants. Plants will not flourish if they must breathe gas generated by coal or wood In stove or furnace, or escaping Illuminating gas. Stop the leaking gas, and give ventilation by raising and lowering a window at some distance from the plants so that the cold air may get warm before It strikes the plants. Liquid manure is valuable when used with caution and good common sense. Do not make it too strong, and thus injure the plants, and do not give it to plants that are not growing, or that are taking their annual rest. Turn the window plants often enough to prevent them getting onesided. It is a good Idea to water the plants In the evening so that the moisture will penetrate thoroughly before the sun dries It up. Fuchlas like some shade, and plenty of moisture—just like the pansy. If the plant appears sick, examine Its roots. Perhaps you will find that it needs repotting. If dead or rotten leaves are found, remove them. If for any cause live roots are removed through design or accident, be sure to cut back the top to correspond. Then give a smaller pot than the plant previously had. Give fresh air liberally. Keep the air moist See that the plants are kept clean. * Save the hen manure carefully. If your soil is heavy, add wood ashes to the hen manure, but if the soil is light and sandy, use leaf-mold or rich loam. Ornamental trees and shrubs may be pruned any time during the winter if they need i t Bear in mind that pruning should not destroy the characteristics of growth peculiar to the tree or shrub. Cut back the too prominent branches, remove those that grow too closely together. If blooming shrubs are continually cut at the ends of the branches they will in time cease to produce flowers. Watch the aphis and fight It from the start, else it will destroy your winter garden. He assumes several guises, but all yield to tobacco or tea, smoke or dust Whale-oil soap and kerosene emulsion also destroy the pest If blight attacks your begonias, cut off all the leaves having a burnt appearance and burn them. Sift sulphur on the plants. It will kill the blight Plan now for next summer's work. Go Into the garden, notebook in hand, and decide just what assortment of flowers you wish In each bed and bor» der—then order accordingly. NIGHT BLOOMING CEREUS The genuine night blooming cereus Is a snaky-looking plant, but from the time the buds appear in the earfy spring, looking like tiny tufts of cotton, until the wondrous blossoms are perfected, the plant Is always an object of Interest The opening of a cereus blossom can never be appreciated until seen. There is the quivering of the petals, the gradual disclosing of the creamy interiors, within which is a most marvelous mechanism of stamens surrounded by the star-like pistil. Only the white pond Illy gives a suggestion of the wondrous purity of the cereus and even this the cereus far transcends. Yet It is easily grown. If Insects attack, spray or wash off with kerosene emulsion, a wing being excellent for cleaning this plant The scale and aphis are its chief enemies. Some plants are slow in attaining blooming size, yet when this is once reached they are faithful each year. The humming bird and the rat-tail are notable for exceptions, blooming nicely when but a few months, or a year old. CARE OF THE PLANTS If a plant appears sick, examine its roots. Perhaps you will find that It needs repotting. If dead or rotten leaves are found remove them. If for any cause live roots are femoved through design or accident be sure to cut back the top to correspond. Then give a smaller pot than the plant previ ously had. 1 DEAD; 5 HURT W CAR CRASH Two Irttsrurbant in Rear-end Collision At Mason. A hero is a man who sticks to the same woman all his life. ALL MEN AT HOME SHOULD PREPARE FOR WAR ITALIAN ARMY IS IN COMPLETE ROUT AU8TRO-GERMAN FORCE8 SHAKE ENTIRE LINE—OVER 100,000 PRISONERS T A K E N . ROME ADMITS FALLING BACK Gorizia, Taken From Teutons Last 8ummer, Falls to Enemy— Cividale Also Taken. Washington—Aufltro-German armies under command of Emperor Charles. Who has as his chief assistant Field Marshal von Mackensen, are shaking the entire Italian line from the Julian Alps region to the Adriatic sea. According to the Berlin official communication, Sunday night, 100,000 Italians have been made prisoners and in excess of 700 guns have fallen into Austro-Gennan hands. The second and third Italian armies are declared to be in retreat, Italy Scores Cowards. Rome admits the falling back of the second army, asserting that cowardice similar to that shown by the Russians in Galicia, was exhibited in the face of the foe, the Italians surrendering or retreating without giving battle, pressing the breaking of the left wing and thereby offering easy access to the town of Cividale. Prior to the falling back, however, the Italians destroyed all their depots and stores and Cividale was on fire when the Austro-Germans entered i t Pressing back the Italians at several points on Italian soil, the combined enemy forces now have puahed forward on the Italian left wing and captured Cividale, lying to the northeast of Udlne. In addition, the Austrian town of Gorisia, a point of great strategic value on the Isonzo river, has been retaken from the Italians. - Possibly the Italians in this region, who are declared by Rome to be retreating to prepared positions on the plains, will turn about and meet the enemy in open country fighting, Great Force In Danger. If they do not and the enemy is able to keep up westward the fast pace that has been maintained since the commencement o fthe operation, the greater part of the Italian forces along the northeastern line will be treatened with capture. The situation is so grave that a special meeting of the French cabinet has been held for the purpose of deciding upon the question of Allied cooperation on the Italian front. LIBERTY LOAN HUGE SUCCESS First Reports Indicate That Total Hat Passed $5,000,000,000 Mark. Washington—The Liberty loan apparently has passed the $5,000,000,000 mark. A last-day drive of titanic proportions throughout the nation rounded up more than $1,000,000,000 and was lieved to have carried the total several hundred million dollars beyond the maximum treasury officials had hoped for. Each of the 12 districts appears to have passed its minimum and indications were that most of them had exceeded the maximum as well. At least 8,000,000 persons throughout the country wrote their names on application blanks. How many more did so will not be known until the final count. The number may go as high as 10,000,000. Michigan Does Well.* Lansing—At 6 p. m Saturday, Michigan had a total reported subscription to the second Liberty Loan of $104,- 854.850 or 84 per cent of the state's quota of $124,250,000. State headquarters offijclals were confident that when final reports came in, after the close of the week's busineas.there would be an additional $3,500,000 to $5,000,000 to add to the total. "Can't Cut Off My Leg," Says Railroad Engineer "I am a railroad engineer; about 20 /ears ago my leg w u seriously injured in an accident out West. Upon my refusing to allow the doctor to amputate it I was told it would be impossible to he&l the wound. I have tried all kinds of salves and had many doctors in the past 20 years, but to no avail. Finally I resolved to use PETERSON'S OINTMENT on my leg. You cannot imagine mv astonishment when I found it was doing what over 100 things had failed to do. My leg is now completely cured."—Gus Hauft. 790 Myrtle Ave., Brooklyn N. Y. "It makes me feel proud to be able to produce an ointment like that," says Peterson. "Not only do I guarantee Peterson's Ointment for old: sores and wounds, but for Ecaema, Salt Rheum, Ulcers.

A man with u perceptible burden of care ran afoul of a Fall Kiver policeman. "Here you," said the officer, "Let me look you over." "It's all right, officer," replied the man with the Jag, "I just been drafted." "You've w h a t r "Drafted. You know. Just been examined. I'm going into the army." "You had better come to the police station first," said the patrolman, and he started to lock the man up. "Just then a doctor came along, a member of one of the Fall River exemption boards. "What are you doing?" he asked the officer. "Don't lock him up. Let him go." "But he's drunk," said the policeman. "Never mind that. We Just passed that fellow for the army, and If he's arrested we may lose him, and God knows It's hard enough to get men who are fit and willing to be drafted without taking any chances. Please, Mr. Policeman, let him go." So the policeman exempted him from the lockup.—New Bedford Standard.

One of the lacking houses in the stock yards In Chicago has persuaded Its women employees to wear what It calls "femlnalls," another form of overalls. The women at first objected, but as so much machinery with belts and other contrivances that are likely to catch In the dresses of women are used, the managers persauded five women to try it, and it was then easy for the rest to don the femJnalls.

Medieval Sleeve Well Liked Here New York.—It Is not possible to dlrlde the new gowns. Into strdngly differing sections. No designer hus taken a period aud copied her gowns from It —With certainty and exactitude. All of JPe French and American workers have jumbled their history In a way that would give the seeker after truth a brainstorm. It Is well for the public at large that the designers do not stick too closely to period clothes. When the decorators Insist that one cannot have a^ curtain, a vase or a cushion In a room that Is drawn from a certain period, we get beautiful pieces of. interior decorative work which should be In a museum, but which have Uttle relationship to an Intimate home life. It is wise for every woman to learn, and it would be well if one could only t^ach the artists and decorators the same thing, that exhibition work is one thing, but the kind of work that one must live with is another. We can go to museums or department shops and see period rooms and period dress, but human nature resents thethought of having such limited waking and sleeping hours. Therefore, we greet with pleasure the fact that vastly different periods of history have been dipped Into for the new clothes; but anachronism is rife. CaHot and the Empire. The Callot gowns were fhe last to get to this country, and they presented no new note, except the Introduction of the First Empire silhouette. Even when Callot took the most symbolic feature of this period, which is the high waistline that slightly girdles the figure just under the bust, she added medieval sleeves to it that the Empress Josephine never wore. The most dominant First Empire frock that Callot has sent over Is of brilliant red that Is neither geranium, Japanese nor wine. She calls It "incendle." It has the richness of a This top coat is made of plum-colored satin with a woolen back, brocaded In plum and mauve floss. Collar and cuffs are of black sealskin with edge of Russian fitch. The draw string allows the coat to be either loose or ' ght at waistline. _jby In the light and resembles that Jewel to the Inexperienced eye more than the flames from a conflagration. This gown is not marred by trimmlng. As the French say, It goes without a garnish. The neck la not tow In the way that Callot la apt to arrange It, and the sleeves not only oorer the arms and wrists, bnt the k of them hangs to the knees the arms are dropped Callot features a new thing, is bound to be significant, and, therefore, when she puts a modified angel sleeve in the same gown with an extreme Josephine waistline, she Is producing something that will be widely copied and w o n by women of the most altrafashionabte convictions. Medieval Sleeve Featured, probably the medieval sleeve will receive more attention from American women than the First Empire waistline. This fact la increasingly trident In the exhibitions of American- designed gowns, which have obviously taken the medieval sleeve as the chief feature. An entire chapter of dress could be written concerning this sleeve. It has played a most historic part in the evolution of fashion throughout the centuries. America was quite well aware that some type of long, flowing sleeve would reappear this autumn. It was foreshadowed by the voluminous tulle sleeves that reached to the wrist and hung downward in points. Every cable from Paris Insisted upon the preference shown by the French women for gowns that did not expose the arms, even though they were half low at the neck. Fantastic gowns In this country, designed for the footlights, brought a good deal of attention to themselves by the immensity of their sleeves, but these were usually fashioned on some antique Chinese Idea, for their square outline was held in place by Chinese tassels and Jade bracelets. Then came the first Callot gown with the genuine medieval sleeve. The men who were in Paris early in the summer and who saw the possibilities in the renewal of such a sleeve, got it over here before the actual Callot gowns were unwrapped and displayed to the American public. It is not easy to define these sleeves by simply calling them medieval. To our American minds, they are reminiscent of the Abbey drawings. They might have been worn by the daughters of King Lear. And above all, their beauty catches the eye because of the cathedral colors In which they are dyed. Chinese Panels. There is another Important feature in the new fashions that no woman can fail to overlook. These are what are known in France as flying panels. They are supposedly adopted from Chinese dress. They are placed on the skirt or on the bodice, and there are extreme gowns in which they swing from the shoulders. Jenny uses them In a gown that is fashioned after those worn by Chinese women. It has an oddly shaped, trousered skirt of chiffon that is exceedingly modest and graceful. Over this fabric hang straight, flying panels in 1 iridescent taffeta that Is weighted with gold and crystal fringe. The waist Is, loosely girdled about by a Chinese sash, and the long, floating sleeves of chiffon and crystals are caught in at the wrists and are transparent. Jenny, however, is not the only one who uses panels in whatever way they onn be accommodated to the human figure. Doeulllet puts them on onepiece frocks and gathers them together at the waist under a girdle of some ornate, glowing fabric. Mme. Paquln makes an evening gown that is Just two panels over a tight, sheathlike skirt, and the two are held In at the waistline by a brilliantly colored sash that somewhat imitates the 'American bustle silhouette by resolving itself into a bow and ends at the side. Premet, who has turned out such unusually good gowns this year, assembles her flying panels under a sash of Chinese or Japanese embroidery and arranges it in a big looped bow at the side which looks something like a bustle that has slipped— an uncomfortable and disagreeable way that they had of doing In that 1880 period when women wore them in an uglier form than_they are Introduced today. Need Not Match S k i r t It is not necessary to go to any trouble to have the panels match the tight skirt beneath In either color or material. Lanvtn insists that the greater the difference between the two, the better the style. She will use hydrangea blue and black together or golden tan and deep purple. Even when these flying panels are not converted Into an entire gown, there is a leading fashion which sees to it that most of onr frocks look as though they were split up the sides, to show the tightest skirt that we could walk in. Chernlt and many of her colleagues have not forsaken the apron gown. The little accessory which resembles an apron, but to intended for ornament and not service, appears on a sufficient number of new frocks to proclaim itself still in fashion.

CITED WOMEN AS DANGEROUS German Writer Alluded to United States Feminism as Certain Ruin and Degradation. There La some interest, if uot equal /mporti nee, in the fact that America, reputed throughout the world as the land of feminism, the land of privileged womanhood, Is at- war with the country in which the claims of feminism are most universally and violently detested and the claims of mascullnism most loudly asserted and generally accepted, says the Philadelphia Bulletin. Herr Voechting wrote a book a few years ago on "The American Cult of Woman," Jn which he congratulated his own Germany on being safe from the danger that was engulfing the United States In ruin and degradation. If we acknowledge the awful impeachment brought against us out of the logic of Kuitur, what shall we say on our part of that masculinlsm which expresses Itself among the men of Germany In a horrified and angry outcry against the "treachery" and **unworthlness" of German women In performing little acts of kindness and humanity for the prisoners within the gates? So dominant Is this masculinlsm in the kaiser's empire that women themselves are among Its stanchest adherents. No other land could ever make a creed of subjecting to constant insult and cruelty the helpless and the wounded. The masculinlsm of America is of a different sort, despite the gloating assertion of Herr Voechting that we have sunk too low to lay claim to anything of such a title. We prefer our own variety.

And whereas the amount claimed to be due on said mortgage at the date of this notice is the sum of Seven Hundred Sixty Three and 25-100 ($763.26) Dollars, principal and interest and the further sum of Twenty (120.00) Dollars, as an attorney fee stipulated for in said mortgage and which is the whole amount claimed to be unpaid on said mortgage and no suit or proceeding J having been instituted at law to cover the debt now remaining secured by said mortgage or any part thereof, whereby the power of sale contained in said mortgage has become operative.

Food Conservation, Enough wheat to make one million loaves of bread could be sent to our allies every day if each family in the country saves just one loaf of bread; That's what we can do if we all pull together. In a year it would amount to 1,600,000 barrels of flour. A little saving from each one, but what a grand total! If every family in Pinckney and vicinity wastes a single slice of bread each day, more than a hundred loaves of bread wfll be thrown away in a*,week. Isn't it appalling? Only the meanest kind of a slacker would willingly waste in such a time as this. Every man, woman and child in the country can have a part in winning the war, for it takes bread as well as bullet/to win the war. The Germans are trying to starve the allies and traitors in this country are helping by burning food depots. Living for our country will attain something of the distinction of dying for it when we cheerfully sacrifice. We would like to have the Pinckney cooks send in some recipes for using dry bread. • Facts That Must Be Faced Now or Later 1. The British drink trade has destroyed during the war sufficient food to have supplied the entire British army during that time. 2. If Great Britain «had prohibited drink in August, 1914, she would today have had a surplus ef food equal to three months' supply, instead of beiag faced by near famine. 3. The British drink trade has durng the war wasted shipping space equivalent to one trip of 5,400,000 tons. 4. The British drink trade has dur- > ing the war wasted labor equivalent to I the idleness for 100 days of the entire United Kingdom. 5. The British drink trade has during the war resulted in a money waste equivalent to the last gigantic British loan of $5,000,000,000. Lost millions, lost food, lost labor, lost shipping space, lost men! The vital question of the hour is: ARE WE GOING TO ALLOW DRINK TO DO THE SAME THING TO US?

Pinckney, Livingston C o u n t y , Michigan, T h u r s d a y , Oct. U5:fi. 1917 No. 43 COMMITS SUICIDE Loss of Fortune Causes Former Pinckney Boy- John B. Fay to Take His Own Life Editor Pinckney Dispatch. Dear Sir: The Friday morning Chicago papers gave an account of the death, by his own hand at the Alexandria Hotel, of Mr. John B. Fay of the fity and formerly of Pasadena, Cal. , The incident has called to mind the] vritur's association with John in hia boyhood days some fifty years ago, j when we attended together the district j schools at the old red acheol house in rlast Pi.nrv.ni, Known as Hick's Corner, i He was a timid boy, gentle and con-1 "jircr and the older boys took advan-: tage of these characteristics and made him the " b u t t " of their many pranks, which at times made hi3 life miserable. | Many a time he has found his dinner pail empty at noon hour, and sometimes he would be robbed of some portion of his clothing which would be stored* away in the attic •• i the school house where access was difficult, but he suffered patiently and with perseverance - succeeded in getting a good education in the Michigan public schools and at Olivet College, and eventually becoming General Manager and later Vice President of the A. C. McOlurg Co. of Chicago, book publishers and whole-* sale dealers in novel.ti.es and stationery. He had virtually outstripped in his attainments all of his early playmates. He had accumulated s modest fortune of $150,000, which he lately lost in speculation in the West and whkh left him penniless. At the time of his death ha waa occupying a position with Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Co., a wholesale hardware concern, endeavoring to retrieve his lost fortune. He leaves a widow and daughter who are a t this time on their way to Chicago from Pasedena, Cal. We are sure the above will be of interest to your older readers to whom the memory of Mr. Fay will be directed by the statement that his brother waa drowned in the Pinckney Mill Pond about the yaar 1865. He lived with a Mr. Keyes who owned the William Henry Placeway Farm weere he worked for his board. Yours truly, F. L. Brown. Miss Ida G. L. dark The news was received Friday morning, of the sudden death of Miss Ida G, L. Clark, a patient of the Eastern Hospital. She waa born in the Township of Putnam, Michigan, March 10th, 1864; being the youngest of eleven children of Mr. and Mrs. Hagh Clark. Her mother, father, two sisters and one brother proceeding her to the great beyond. We shall miss her, but when we remember the years of intense suffering through which she passed, we would not, if we aould, call her back. The funeral services were held a t the home of her sisters, the Misses Eleanor and Edith Clark, Sunday p. m., Oct. 21, Rev. Jones officiating. W. H.

Kirkland, Wash. -Our community was saddenened last Thursday morning, Oct. j 4, at the announcement of the death of Will H. Sales who passed away after an illness of several months, at his home ! two miles north of Redmond. For the | past four weeks Mr. Sales has not been able to leave his home and had been under the care of an eminent Seattle Specialist and Dr. G. A. Davi<<, who lent their every aid for his relief. Death was due to Myocarditis. Mr. Sales was born at Pinckney, ] Michigan, on Feb. liith, 1>*;.", being j the youngest son of Mr. and Mr?. W. I W. Sales, who were pioneers in that j section, Pie attended the public schools ( in his own community and completed j his education in the Ho-.vell High School and later in the State Agriculture Col- ; [ege at Lansing, He taught school for \ three years and then entered the law ; olTice of Hon. Rollin H. Person, afterward Supreme Justice of the Supreme Court of Michigan. Just as he was ready to be admitted to the bar, his father died and he was obliged to return home to take care of the farm, and thus vanished his cherished hope of following the legal profession. On Dec. 2oth, 1890, he waB united in marriage with Belle Dunbar, who survives him, together with one sister, Mrs. Nettie Sales Calkins, of Woodinville, Wash., one nephew, Postmaster H. Sales Reed of Redmond, Wash., and one neice, Mary Kirtland Engstrom, of Evanston, Wyo., all of whom were with him at the end. He came to Washington in 1901, and settled on the farm where he resided until his death. By dint of hard labor he had placed his farm 2h a high state of cultivation and recently completed a fine modern home. Mr. Sales was clerk of the Willows school district and took great pride and interest in all matters of local interest. He was a great temperance advocate, and as a young man took the stump for local ottion, and in the recent campaigns in this state to wipe out the liquor traffic, he was always ready to testify for temperance. He was rewarded by seeing the desired legislation in his adopted state. Mr. Sales was formerly a member of Livingston Lodge No. 76, F. & A. M. of Pinckney, Michigan, and later transferred his membership to Kirkland, Wash. The funeral sermon was conducted by Rev. C. E. Newberry, of Kirkland, assisted by the Masonic Lodge of Kirkland, who took charge of the body at the house snd conducted their beautiful and impressive ceremony a; the grave. Mr. Sales was laid to rest in. the Kirkland cemetery by the side of his sister, Mrs. Anna Sales Kirtland, whom he dearly loved, and who passed away fouJ years ago this month. The funeral cortege was the most extensive ever seen in this vicinity there being over forty autos in the procession. The whole oommunity united in paying , homage to the remains of a great and noble man, and bereaved relatives received the sincere sympathy of all who knew the deceased.—Kirkland News.

IS FIRST U. S. TRANSPORT SUNK Neither Submarine Nor Torpedo Was 8een—Ship Struck Squarely 8 i n k t in Five Minutes. Washington—Under convoy, homeward bound, the American army transport Antilles was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine in the war zone October 17. About 70 men are missing and probably lost. All the army and navy officers aboard and the ship's master were among the survivors. The missing are members of the crew, three civilian engineers, some enlisted men of the navy, and 16 of 33 soldiers returning home for various reasons. Neither the submarine nor the torpedo was seen and the transport, hit squarely amidships, sunk In five minutes. This tragedy of the sea, the first in which an American ship engaged in war duty has been lost, is the first of its magnitude to bring home to the people of the United States the rigors of the war in which they have engaged against Germany. It carries the largest American casualty list of the war, and marks the first success of German attacks on American transports. That the loss of life was not greater is due to the safeguards with which the navy has surrounded the transport service, and the quick rescue work of the convoying warships. Names of Lost Not Known. Secretary Daniels announced the disaster in a statement based upon a brief dispatch from Vice-Admiral Sims which gave few details and did not say whether it was a day or night attack. An accurate list of the missing cannot be issued until General Pershing reports the names of the army men on the vessel and the list of the merchant crew. Lacking details of the attack, beyond the fact that the submarine was unseen and the first warning to those aboard the Antilles came with the shock of the explosion of the torpedo, many theories were current as to how the U-boat crept through the destroyer screen, did its work and escaped unchallenged. The loss of the Antilles marks the first redaction of the transport fleet that has been operating. A very considerable number of American troops, workmen and others involved in the prosecution of the war have been carried safely to France and England, and the unsuccessful attack on the first contingent Is the only recorded previous Instance where the U-boats have succeeded even In catching sight of the vessels. BANK ROBBERS GET $31,000 Auto B a n d i t * Make Big Haul In T w o West Michigan Towns. Grand Rapids—Bank robbers in a daring automobile raid Saturday, cleared up $31,000 in two neighboring western Michigan towns, Alto and Middleville. The safe of the Farmers' State bank of Alto was blown open at 1:4") a- <m. and, according to bank officials, a. m. and, according to bank officials, $1,000 was taken. All telephone wires At 3:30 a. m. the Farmers' State bank at Middleville was robbed, cash to the amount of $20,400 being secured by the safeblowers. Indications are that the two banks were robbed by the same gang. Alto and Middleville are about 10 miles apart by automobile road. Three robbers drove into Middleville at 3:30 and after robbing the Blake department store of a number of blankets, blew the safe in the Farmers' State bank and escaped with $20,- 400 in cash, leaving $5,000 in a bag on the floor of the bank building. Five explosions were heard by the villagers but no one went to the scene until after the bandits had fled. The Job was apparently done by the same gang that recently robbed the bank at Climax, according to Sheriff Cornelius Manni, of Barry county. The men drilled a hole in the safe with an electrically driven drill and blew the safe, a modern strongly built vault, to pieces. WAR TAX BOOSTS TRAVEL COST Nine M e r c h a n t m e n and T w o British Destroyers Are P r e y — N o Aid Given D r o w n i n g Survivors. London—Two British destroyers and nine unarmed merchantmen was the toll which two extraordinarily swift and heavily arrne i German commerce ruiders took in a North sea battle last week, accordiiic; to an announcement made by the Bri'ish admiralty. The traditions of the British navy were fully sustained by ih? two Briti ish hornets of the seas ihe Mary Rose and the Strongbow. Outranged by the raiders' guns, outspeeded. they went into battle and fought to a finish with their formidable a n t a g o n i s t s - two pigmies against giants. Eightyeight officers and men perished on the Mary Rose and 47 on the Strongbow. The two German raiding ships slipped out of their harbor in the dark. They sped north, scouring tne seas for merchantmen bringing supplies to [England. Somewhere between the Norwegian coast—far to the northern boundry of the North sea—they came suddenly on a fleet cf Norwegian and Swedish merchantmen, convoyed by the two British destroyers. No Effort Made to Save Survivors. The battle was furious, but unequal from the start. The attack of the British ships, however, enabled three of the neutral merchantmen to escape. When the British destroyers were sunk, the Germans promptly proceeded to their assault on the unprotected and unarmed merchantmen. Five [Norwegian and three Swedish ships were sunk at once—without examinat i o n of their papers, without warning, | and without any regard for the lives jof passengers and crews aboard them, I Then the two marauders, fearing arrijval of British patrol boats, turned tail and fled, Not an effort was made to rescue survivors who struggled in the water. Two British vessels attracted by the sound of the gunfire, later picked up 30 Norwegians and others. A Christiania dispatch added that the admiral commandant of the Swedish navy had reported the rescue of 37 persons "from Norwegian and Swedish ships"—presumably survivors of the same German sea victims, A f t e r November 1, All T r a n s p o r t a t i o n Rates W i l l Be Raised. Lansing—After November 1 the cost of railroad, steamship and interurban travel, and express and freight rates will be increased to help Uncle Sam pay the $40,000,000 a day it costs to prosecute the war. Every interurban, steamship or railroad ticket costing 35 cents or more will be subject to a war tax of 8 per cent. For every 20 cents or fraction thereof it costs to send a package by freight or express, a tax of one cent must be paid and a 10 per cent tax is to be added to the amount paid for seats, berths and staterooms in parlor cars, sleeping cars or on vessels. The tax will be collected by the agent or by the conductor. Commutation or season tickets for trips less than 30 miles, or trips not exceeding 35 cents, are exempted from the tax. $100,000,000 BASE SN FRANCE U. S. W i l l Build Giant Depot to Supply Troops at Front. AQUIT ANTI-DRAFT WORKERS Grand Rapids Finds Eleven Not Guilty of Conspiracy Charge. Washington—YrTork of building an immense ordnance depot and arsenal base in France for the American army will start soon. A contract for its construction has been awarded. The great supply depot will be near the seaport "somewhere in France," on a spot which-has been turned over to the American forces for their exclusive use. Total cost of the enterprise will be about $100,000,009, it is expected. Machinery for the arsenal is already being delivered. The cost of this equipment alone is $6 000,000. More than 1,000 miles of standard gauge railway will be built from the base to the sector of front occupied by General Pershing's army. Engineering organizations, recruited largely from the staff of the Pennsylvania railroad, already are in France, preparing for construction work. Payment for the work will be on the basis of cost plus 10 per cent. BREAD PRICE IS CUT ONE CENT Detroit Baking Companies Reduce Cost of Large Loaf.

S. and Canadian R a i l w o r k e r s Ask 20 Psr Cent Increase. Ottawa.—Representatives of 200,000 organized railroad workers in the northeastern part of the United States and eastern Canada decided here to recommend to their unions that they demand from their employers wage In creases of not less than 20 per cent. The workers involved are trainmen, conductors, baggagemen, brakemen and yardmen. The vote In favor of the demand for increased pay was unanimous on the part of 104 chairmen of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and the Order of Railway Conductors, who have been in session here. The question will be submitted to a referendum of the members of the brotherhoods. If their vote ii affirmative, negotiations with the railroad companies will be begun. If the increases are granted, they will mean the addition of millions of dollars to the annual payrolls of about 50 COST panies. • Paw Paw Rev. A. O. Carman baa retired from the M.

IMPROVEMENTS ARE NOT TAXED Western Canada Does Not Tax Stock or Improvements but Collects an Additional Tax From Land Speculators. Owners of uncultivated lands in Western Canada are loud in their protests against un extra tax on their lands because they are not under cultivation. Western Canada, through its provincial governments, is endeavor ng to force the speculative laud owner to either sell his land to a settler or to cultivate it himself. At present a surtax of a few cents an acre Is levied ngainst all wild land, so that the owner of land held In its natural state, without improvements, is contributing more tuxes to the government than the owner of a farm that is cultivated and even improved with buildings and stock to the value of thousands of dollars In order to encourage the farmer to improve and to go into stock raising he is not charged one cent of taxes o n ' a n y of his improvements, implements or stock of any kind. As a result of this surtax on uncultivated or speculatively held lands, the owners are now trying to sell them to actual settlers, and, in nearly every instance, have been offering on very easy terras of payment, usually a quarter down, and the balance extending over a term of years at prices much lower than their productive value would warrant. A world-wide shortage in farm stuffs has given a new value to nil agricultural products and the margin of profit today is greater than ever in the p a s t It is true labor and implements have increased in price, but it is now possible to secure 50% profK in farming, and higher. Possibly not on the $100 to $200 an acre farm lands but on land that can now. under existing conditions, he purchased at from $15 to $30 per acre. Western Canadian farm lands are as productive as any in the world and can be as economically farmed. Wheat yields of from 30 to 50 bushels per acre have been common In Western Canada during the past few years, and the farmers have been too busy farming all they can so as to soli as much wheat as possible at $2.00 a bushel, that they have not had time to do any talking or writing. It is doubtful If there ever was such on opportunity to make big profits in farming. The value of each year's crop has been in hundreds of cases more than the market value of the land it was grown on. It Is unreasonable to suppose such a condition will last long, as the land now being forced onto the market by surtax on speculative owners will soon become absorbed by those who have learned of these highly profitable wheat lands. The news is spreading gradually throughout the high priced land districts in the United States, where there Is n renewed awakening to the realization that the maximum profit in farming is not being obtained when it is possible to secure from forty to seventy per cent return on the investment in Western Canada. Many who have been planning to visit Western Canada for the purpose of personally investigating conditions are leaving this month, when the good weather can be enjoyed. As threshing operations and marketing of grain Is under way, no better time could be selected to secure first hand and reliable Information from the farmers themselves. The winter months afford ample time for completing moving arrangements, to allow the settler to take up residence In early spring, so as to get something done next year and to make a start on the big and profitable farming operations In Western Canada.— Advertisement. An Aztec Grain. At the time of the Spanish conquest, an ivory grain, finer than mustard seed, was made into paste for molding into religious idols and was an important food in those times of scarcity of maize. This grain, known to the Aztecs as "huauhtli," was among the tributes paid by the pueblos to Montezuma. The botanical Identity of the seed was long unknown, but the collection of Dr. Edward Palmer in the states of Sincola end Palisco included flsh-egglike seeds of an amaranthus. The plant was found both wild and under cultivation, a paste of the seed and sugar being sold under the name of "suale." Dr. W. B. Safford of the department of agriculture has recognized In these specimens the sacred "huauhtlT of Montezuma's time, and suggests that this amaranthus might be cultivated in favorable situations.

"He's single and very attractive, ray dear. The entire village is trying to marry him. There is talk of the doctor's daughter, a common little thing." When Bhe had gone, Elinor, a little faint and dizzy, went out on the terrace. She realized that the barrier between Ward and herself was not only of his faith against her unbelief. There was the insurmountable gulf between his world and her world. She did not fit into his life. Into his arm, perhaps; into his life—never. Walter would try to get the money. She must get word to him somehow, for if the Bryant pearl was recovered and Boroday given his freedom, money would not be an immediate necessity. She paced the terrace and tried to thick it out. For Talbot to go back to the city, an hour; for the delivery of the special delivery, another hour. Then the police would have to come out by train or motor. With the best of luck, it would be four o'clock before the pearl could be recovered. There were a dozen possibilities; the chief might be out of town; the pearl might be recovered from the box without his assistance. In that case he would not hold to his agreement with Boroday. She tried to head Walter off, but she could not locate him. At none of his various haunts could she find him by telephone; he was not at the Dago's; at the taxlcab office he was said to be laid off for the day. As the white clouds of the afternoon turned to flame In the sunset, Elinor's face grew set and hard. "I'm not blind. Til get him for this!" That was what he had said. He would go after the money that night, and there was murder in his heart. Old Henrlette, watching Elinor's set face, grew fretful. She squealed If a door slammed; brought food that Elinor could not eat, and finally, divining a crisis, tried stealthily by telephone to locate Talbot or Lethbrldge and failed. "You'd better eat a bite or two," she entreated. Elinor's nerves, too, were on edge. "I don't want It," she said. "Just a little soup!" "If you bring that tray here again I shall throw it out of the window." Henriette was cheered. Elinor, whitelipped and speechless, was alarming. Elinor in one of her rare rages was reassuring. By seven o'clock Elinor knew what she must do; go to Ward, tell him what she feared, and how she knew. She was not craven, but her very soul was sick. She sought about for some way to evade the issue or to postpone it, and finally she struck on one. On plain note paper she scrawled a little note in a feigned hand: "An attempt will be made tonight to secure the fund raised at the morning service. Be advised and give it to someone else to keep overnight" But she realized before she had finished It the uselessness of such an attempt. Ward would not transfer a danger. The night had fallen, A line of cars from the country club was carrying town people and villagers home to the late dinners of the golf season. Groups of girls and men in summer garments, chatting gayly, passed under the wall of her garden. Down In the valley straggling lines of evening churchgoers moved decorously toward the churches. A ragged child stood in the road below her garden and wept Elinor ran down to him, and took him up In her arms. When she had soothed him she felt quieter. She went into ,liie house and put on her hat There was no message from Talbot, no word of Huff. Evening service was over when she reached Saint Jude's. The last straggler had gone, and Ward was not in right She avoided the street lights. She felt quite sure that Walter was Jn the vicinity, his keen eyes missing nothing. He had put his hand on her before Bhe knew he was near. "Worahlpl*£ again 1" he Jeered. "I have not been in the church." Her quick mind was scheming desperately ahead. "I nave been alone this evening. When yon did not come, I—" He swung her around. "Yon were looking for m e r "I thought yon might be here. Ton etM last night—" The memory of the night before stnng him. He released hev witet "Walter, I am afraid! I tried tu make you understand lust night, but you wouldn't listen. If he were roused, fee might be dangerous. Don't take "hances; don't think, because he Is a churchman—" She was talking against time. She had her plan now. "I can take care of myself," said Huff sullenly. But he kept his place beside her as she started back. Her solicitude was for him, then. She cared, after all. But it wouldn't do to unbend too much. Elinor had treated him with a high hand. His very pulse ached with her nearness, but he did. not touch her. He left her without even a handclasp. "You might wish me luck." "I wish you safety," she replied. He stood down in the road, and watched her shadowy figure threading its way along the garden paths. He had a wild Impulse to run after her, to kneel in the earth at her feet and cry out for her old tenderness, for her wistful- eyed caresses. Then, into his suspicious young heart crept the vision of Elinor's face when he had planned his new coup. "I shall warn him," she had said. Huff's mouth was hard as he turned and walked down the hill. C H A P T E R X. Into and through her garden Elinor walked quietly until she was safe from surveillance. Then she ran swiftly, ruthlessly across the flower beds, through the roses. The terrace was lighted. She avoided It, making a detour that led by a side entrance into old Hilary's library. Fl>r obvious reasons, ojd Hilary's private telephone was in a sound-proof closet. Before Walter had taken a hundred watchful paces down the wad she had Ward at the other end of the line. What with running and terror, she could hardly speak. Once, long ago, she had heard a discussion between Boroday and her father about the use of the telephone. Its substance was that when the transmitter Is held to the chest a clear message may be sent, but with the effect of distance. She held the transmitter to her breast then, and it seemed to her that Ward must hear the throbbing of her heart. "Hello, hello!" came his quick response. No need to ask who it was. She knew every inflection of his voice. "This is—a friend," Elinor panted. "I want to tell you something." "Yes?" Very incisive now. "Tonight—very soon—an attempt—" She stopped. What was she doing? She, her father's daughter, the head of the band ! By warning Ward she might be sending Wa'lter to his death. A vision of old Hilary, gray-headed, keen-eyed, at this very telephone, flashed into her mind, old Hilary, whose religion had been of keeping the faith, not with his God, but with his men. "Who are you?" The impatient voice was saying in her ears. "Are you sure you want me? This is Ward, of Saint Jude's." ' Elinor quietly hung up the telephone transmitter, and stood in the darkness, her hands to her throat. Old Henrlette, ever watchful, came into the library beyond. Elinor could hear her wandering about, knew the moment when she discovered her wrap on a chair, heard her plaintive voice speaking through a window to the empty terrace. "Miss Elinor," she called. "Miss Elinor!" Elinor let her go. When her shuffling footsteps had died away, Elinor took the receiver down again, and called the assistant rector's house. But this time she spoke directly into the transmitter. "This is Elinor Kingston, Mr. Ward. I wonder If you are very tired tonight?" "I? Tired? I'm never tired." "Because I am thinking of asking you to come up. I—there are some things I want to talk about, questions that are troubling me. I know It is late, but—" "I saw you at the early service. Of course I'll come up." He had seen her thenl 'TU do my best," he was saying. "Of course, you know I may disappoint you. These questions, that come from within, must be answered in the same way. But Tm coming at once." Elinor's battle was only half fought, bnt she had a great sense of relief. Let him meet Walter on the way. 80 much the better. Let Huff know that Wurd was out, and the offering presumably unguarded. He might hate the man, but no hope of a running right with him would deter him from his main object, the money. To save Ward, she was willing, even anxious, to let Walter succeed. Women sometimes meet large crises with small vanities. But Elinor had no vanity. Without so much as a glance at the mirror she went out into the garden to listen for Ward's step on the road. She knew his walk already; the forceful, certain step of an energetic and purposeful man. The illuminated dial on the steeple of the Baptist church showed something after ten when Ward finally came up the hill. The relief of seeing him unharmed sent Elinor down the terrace steps with both hands out. Before he could take them, Ward was obliged to stoop and deposit on the ground at her feet a small box that he carried. "The morning collection," he said smiling, and took her hands in his. Her quick alarm showed In her face. "But you are reckless! To go about with so much money—" Ward was following her up the steps. "I dare say it is safer with me than any place else in the world. Did anyone ever hear of an assistant rector going about with a fortune in his hand?" He fo;!owed her into the library and placed the box on the great table where old Hilary had been wont to divide the annual earnings of the band. Ward pointed to It with his humorous smile. "Would anyone suspect," he said, "that in that box there is a stone parish house, a new church organ, and a children's playground?" Then, glancing at her with keen eyes, he was struck by her pallor. "You to ask me If I am tired !" he cried. "Why, you poor child, it Is you "I Can Take Car* of Myself." who are worn out. Wouldn't it be better to have me come tomorrow and go over the things you—spoke about?" "I think we had better talk about them now," said Elinor, desperately calm. At a quarter before eleven that Sunday night, old Henriette, bent on her evening task of sending Elinor to bed, wandered into the library. She found Ward, his earnest face glowing, expounding the tenets of his faith from the edge of his chair; and Elinor lying back with her face drawn, watching the clock on the mantel. Old Henriette, astounded, withdrew, not to sleep, but with the wakeful alertness of old age, to wander up and down the garden paths until such time as Elinor's visitor might leave. Ward suddenly realized that he was making small headway. When at last he caught Elinor's eyes on the clock he flushed and rose. 'Tve done it all very badly," he said. "I seem to wander all about and not get anywhere. You see it's all so real to me—" Elinor had leaned back with closed eyes. "It Is all very terrible to me," she replied. "This God of vengeance—" "This God of tenderness and mercy," Ward supplemented. "Don't you see what it all means? How terrible this life would be If this were all! Our little lives, foil of Jealosies and hatreds and crimes: I bringing that box, over there on the table, up here with me tonight, because I dare not trust It to my fellow men; I who could nor sleep Ust night for tbisjSdng ef ?ou, who a r e all that Is good and swet>l and lender, up here alone In this great house, with God knows what danger lurking about." Elinor had reached her limit. The hand of her self-control snapped. She could not hold him much longer, and before he went he must know. "When I sent for you," she said, "I had two reasons. I wanted to see you. P l e a s e ! " As he took a step toward her. "And I wanted to save you from something that I know of." iTO B E C O N T I N U E D . ) NOW MAKE ARTIFICIAL MILK Manufacturer* In England Have Pro- ! duccd Substitute So Perfect That Cream Rit.ee on It. According to Popular Science Monthly, they a r e making in England an a r tlficial milk which is so perfect that cream rises on it and cheese can be made from It. The ingredients are ground peanuts, soy beans, sugar, wa ter and mineral saloj. About 400 grains of i/>tasslum phosphate is dissolved in 200 pints of water at 170 degrees Fahrenheit. Enough sugar Is added to give 4 5-10 per cent to the finished product.

After it j Is pasteurized and cooled a small per- ; centage of citric acid is added. I The milk thus produced may be con- 1 densed and sold in cans, or dried and powdered, or sold as a liquid In bottles. The addition of nut fats will give a certain proportion of cream. By using sufficient lactic bacteria the product may be cultured to give a table crean? or a soured mass for making cheese.

In the Castillan language trousers come singly, not In pairs. The story told by Harry A. Franck of his friend Hays, and his struggles with this Span- j Ish Idiom, is in the Century, In Mr. j Franck's article, "Quito the City of the Equator." Pausing In the entrance of one of the little sewing dens known as tailor shops, Hays asked, "Can you j make me a pair of trousers by Saturday night?" j "Un par, senor," cried the tailor. "Ah, no; it la impossible so soon. I can make you a trouser by then, though ' not two of them. Then while you are wearing the one I can perhaps make , the other, if the senor is in such haste." "Oh, all right," said Hays, suddenly recalling that trousers are—that Is—Is singular in Spanish. "Go ahead. I'll try to get along with one over Sun« day."

The company's regular age limits are from 12 to 60, but it has also special policies with (liberally) graded death beneflts on the annual premium plan (30-Payment Life, 20-Year Endowment, etc.) for children from 2 years up. Many a father la glad of the opportunity to buy his 5-yearold son, on the annual premium plan, a 20-year Endowment Policy for one or two thousand dollars, maturing at age 26, when the young man shall be ready to start in business for himself. (Death of the father makes such a policy paid up, to mature without further payment of premiums for the full sum insured.) Old Colony Life salesmen are equipped to insure the entire family on Ordinary plans. What industrial companies are doing for the working classes on the weekly premium plan, the Old Colony Life is prepared to do for larger amounts of insurance for all classes of people on the annual, semi-annual, and quarterly premium plan.

Sparrow Introduced for Purpose. j The sparrow was introduced Into [)\% United States for a specific purpose He was expected to destroy certaH noxious insects, especially the larvae o% \aoths, some of them native, others Hkw the sparrow himself mistakenly , Imported. The native kinds were uuls- • ances in city parks and shaded city streets. Native birds, which now under protection are common city dwellers, would probably have come to do every service the sparrow did; but 1 does not require a very old resident New York to remember the days wl caterpillars rained down on the Sabbath finery of gentlefolk crossing the , parks, and those caterpillars the spar- l row undeniably did clean up, and New I York was grateful. With the othei moths, however—alien moths like th* gypsy and the brown tall, which wer< scourges of vegetation—the sparrow failed. y uf,. Fooling the Motorist. The motorist had lost his way on a country road. Hailing the first pedestrian he overtook, he asked the way to Blankvllle. "I don't know as I can explain It very clearly," replied the pedestrian, "but If you'll take me in your car I'll point It out to you as we go along." "Good," said the motorist. "Jump In." "First off," directed the pedestrian, as he took his seat in the car, "you dri%v si might ahead the way you were going for about two miles." When the two miles had been traveled, he continued : "Now, If you'll let me out here I ran show you the rest of the way without going along. Just turn around and go back three miles and there you are." "Why didn't you tell me Hint in the first place Instead of taking me two miles in the wrong direction?" demanded the motorist. "I didn't want to hurt your feelings right away by telling you you were going In the wrong direction," replied the other, "and, besides, I live here." The Real Thing. "Mom. what is the call of the wild?" "The Joyrider's honk, my son." After one man has said a good thing lots of others wonder why they never thought of It. College Girls Do Their "Bits."

Rice, 128 Selden street, Detroit, Michigan, declares that she has derived more benefit from five bottle* of Tanlac than from medicines and treatments which have cost her a small fortune In the past fifteen years. Her statement follows: **I have suffered for the past fifteen years* with disordered kidneys and stomach trouble. I had such awful pains that at times I couldn't help crying out loud. My feet and lower limbs would become numb and swollen until I couldn't walk and would have to take to my bed. I couldn't sleep on account of my nervousness and would often get up and walk the floor, when I was able to walk. I took all kinds of treatments and spent a small fortune, but didn't get any relief. "The five bottles of Tanlac I have taken made me feel a hundred times better already. I don't suffer any pain or Inconvenience from my kidneys at all now and my stomach Is In fine condition. My blood circulation Is better and my limbs don't get cold like they did. I don't claim to be entirely well yet, but I eat heartily, sleep well and enjoy life more than I have in years. Tanlac is rapidly making a new woman of me, it has done me more good than all the other medicines I have taken In fifteen years." There is a Tanlac dealer in you? town.—Adv.

Washington—A new method of raisng future draft armies has been announced by the war department. It Involves many and important changes in the original system. As explained at the office of the ifrovost marshal general, the plan Is designed to put the right man into the right place at the right time. It means the examination of every registered man who has not already been sent to camp, including those who were exempted from the first draft. In practical operation, it will probably mean a general exemption during the next draft of nearly all married men or men who have dependents of any kind. After an official statement, signed by Maj.-Gen. E. H. Crowder, provost marshal general, had been issued, there was a further explanation of the new plan by one of his aides, giving an idea of how it will be put into operation. Divided Into Five Classes. The registered men will be divided into five classes. In class one they will place all men who can most easily be spared for military duty. This will include men with no persons dependent upon them. Men with wives and families who are not dependent will not be exempt per se, although it is expected that married men, generally speaking, will not go into class one. Men who are not skilled workers in any particular occupation, or who are not skilled workers in any particular occupation, or who are engaged in an occupation not necessary to the prosecution of the war, will go into class one. In class two the local board will place the men who are slightly less preferable for military duty, such as men with partial dependents and those who are skilled in certain needed occupations. In class three, will be placed the men who are highly skilled operatives or who have persons utterly dependent upon them, such as aged parents or small children. In class four will go the men who are the last to be taken for military purposes, those who may have large families who would be left destitute if the breadwinner should be taken away or who are absolutely essential factors In war work. In class five will be grouped men who will never be called for military service, such as cripples, mental or moral defectives, criminals and the like, or persons whose physical unfitness is manifest even without examination. This is the discard class. No man who is placed In> it will ever get into the army. Class One Summoned First. When these five classes are established by the local boards, all over the country, the war department will be ready to proceed with the business of raising the second draft army. Men in class one will be summoned first for physical examination and no class two man will be taken in any draft distr. ot until- the entire roster of class one is exhausted. While there is no way of obtaining accurate information at this time, it is believed that few men outside of class one will be taken In the next draft of 500,000 men, which is expected to be called into service next spring.

WOMEN SUFFERERS NEED SWAMP-ROOT Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney and bladder trouble and never suspect it. Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease. If the kidneys are not in a healthy con* dition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased. You may suffer a great deal with pain in the back, headache, loss of ambition, nervousness and may be despondent and irritable. Don't delay starting treatment. Br.

JOFFRE'S VALET DID WELL Amassed Fortune of 25,000 Francs While on American Tour With the Noted Marshal. When Marshal Joffre went to the United States he took with him a body servant who was to net as his valet. The man formerly had served in the family and there was nothing said about what pay he was to receive until the journey was over, when the marshal asked him what he owed him. "I couldn't ask for any pay in view of the petite fortune that I have brought back with me." "What little fortune?." asked the marshal, "Yon haven't been speculating?" "Mais non, monsieur de Marechal, but there were times when I could be of service. People who wanted auto* graphs, and those who wanted to see the chambers occupied by monsieur le Marechal, and those 'who sent note* and messages—" "I understand," said the marshal, "but, If I may ask, how much did you bring back?" "En, h'en. Monsieur le Marechal, about 25,000 francs." It is Mme. Joffre who has let the story o u t £he has told it to some of her acquaintances in the American colony in Paris, who repeat her assurances that it la perfectly true.—Brooklyn Eagle.

(From the United States Department of Agriculture.) Sound, clean, healthy seed Is the first requisite for the largely increased wheat crop which the United States department of agriculture hopes to see harvested next year. Whatever the source of supply, farmers will find It to their advantage, says the department, to see that only good seed Is planted. What has been said is equally true of seed for the rye crop which the department hopes to see much larger than usual next year. If a farmer has seed from his own crop which is satisfactory so far as variety and general condition are concerned, he should lose no time In getting It into shape for storage until planting time. The fanning mill Is the farmer's best friend in this task. The farmer by all means should have such a mill, and If he has not and Is unable to obtain one, should borrow or rent his neighbor's mill, or several farmers can join in buying one. A fanning mill removes weed seeds, smut and shriveled grain and leaves only plump kernels, practically every one of which may be depended upon to produce a thrifty plant. After It is cleaned, however, the seed should be treated in order that the smut may be prevented. Scab is more likely to be prevented by seed treatment, but the use of the fanning mill will assist materially in Improving the crop grown from seed known to have contained scabby kernels. Buy Seed From Neighbor. If the farmer Is dependent on outside sources for his seed, he should buy from his neighbor if possible, so that he may be more likely to got seed well adapted to his conditions. It is advisable to buy as soon after harvest as possible, as at this time prices are likely to be lowest. If the farmer delays, hib neighbors may dispose of all their surplus grain and he may be forced to plant seed grown under conditions radically different from his own. If the farmer patronizes a seedsman he should insist on getting seed grown as near his section as possible. If seed is affected by diseases, careful inspection will usually disclose the fact. The presence of stinking smut In wheat is indicated by the odor and the presence of scab by the appearance of the kernels. Purchased seed should, of course, be cleaued and treated for the destruction of the spores of disease-producing fungi, if the examination shows this to be necessary. Selecting Varieties. In choosing varieties of wheat, the farmer should be guided by the experiences of his neighbors and the advice of his state experiment station. PLOWING TO CONTROL PESTS Remedies for Effective Check Must Be Applied During Fall and Winter Seasons. After the corn-root louse, rootworm, grubworm, and wlreworm have attacked the cornfield. It will be too late for effective control menttures. Remedies for these pests must he applied during fall and winter. These insects feed below ground nnd are most effectively controlled by fall or winter plowing, clean culture and crop rotation. The root louse winters as the egg in the nests of the small cornfield a n t By winter plowing these ant nests are broken up and the ants, as well as the louse eggs, are destroyed. The eggs of the Northern rootworm are deposited by the beetle dorlag fall In escmftelds and since the grab oa hatching t h e following spring will feed only OB the roots of corn, apparently crop rotation Is entirely effective. Some of the grubwonns and wire worms reqatvt two or three y e a n to nature, Taay inter In tb* sail where witter pkrw- This is true also of rye, but there are available fewer varieties of rye than of wheat. The stations can furnish comparative statistics on the yields and behavior of a number of varieties of the two cereals. After the grain farmer has procured a supply of satisfactory seed he should store it carefully, so that it will keep In good condition and will be safe from the depredations of rats, mice and Insects. Bins which are supposedly ratproof are available on practically all farms and it will pay farmers to see that they are kept In good condition to keep out the rodents. ADVANTAGES OF FALL COLTS Youngster Can Be Weaned in Spring When Grass Is Beginning to Come—Pasture Helps. A very large proportion of all colts are foaled In the spring. However, i some who have raised a fall colt or two each year have found the advantages are not all In favor of the practice of exclusive spring colt raising. A colt foaled in September or early October will get a nice start before the pasture dries up and winter approaches. Then the mare and colt should receive a plentiful and nourishing ration through the winter. The colt can be weaned in the spring when the grass is beginning to come, and the pasture will help wonderfully to keep it In condition and to keep It going. PROFIT IN BALANCED RATION One-Third to One-Half Less Eggs Obtained From Fowls Not Given Right Variety of Feed. Hens fed unbalanced ration produce only one-third to one-half as many eggs as hena fed a balanced ration during the same time. An unbalanced ration wastes from one-half • to two-thirds of the feed. Be sure the ration is balanced. MOST PROLIFIC OF BERRIES Very Few Blackberry Bushes Will Furnish Family With Alt Freah Fruit It Can Use. Blackberries are the most prolific of the berries, generally speaking. A very few blackberry plants may furnish a family with all the fresh fruits It can use. And for canning, preserving, caking cordial, wine, etc., the blackberry Is unexcelled. Ing will destroy many. They breed largely in sod. Therefore. If a field of sod is to be used for corn In the spring, plow It in late fall, if possible. Should dry weather permit before freezing weather is over, winter plowing will eliminate a great many of the Insects which ordinarily nttnrk corn In the spring. FATTENING FOOD FOR DUCKS CoHfmeal, Wheat Bran and Beef Scraps Mixed With Milk or Water Is Recommended as Good. A good fattening food for ducks is three parts cornmeal, one part wheat bran and one part high-grade beef scraps mixed crumbly with milk or water and fed at morning and noon. The evening food should consist of crack ed corn. No more should be fed \ one meal than they will eat ny promptly, and then the troughs should be removed. MMc far Calvaa.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, Oct. 18th, )917 No. 4 $6,000 in Gov. Bonds Has Already Been Sold Large Crowd Attends Patriotic Rally Uncle Sam Needs 10,000 Stenographers and Typewriters at Once A fine crowd turned out Moaday evening to the Patriotic Rally held at the schoolhouse here, and considerable patriotism was shown, as at the close of the meeting there were thirteen requests for bonds. Lewis Howlett of Howell was the' speaker of the evening and! gave a fine discourse, inciting those who had money not in use, to loan the same to the V- S. in her time of need. This is not asked as a donation but as a loan. The government will pay 4 per cent interest, the bonds are non assesable andj non taxable and though you might be able to get 6 jer cent interest in other places, it surely- ought to be worth the difference to be a patriotic American citizen instead of a slacker. According to Mr. Howlett, the man who has the money and will not loan it to the gov* srnment at this time is much more of a slacker than the boy who refuses to register, as he thinks, to save his life, and which is punishable by imprisonment. The man keeps his money because he is stingy and goes unpunished. The share of the Liberty Loan assessed to Putnam is $17,500. $1,000 in bonds has already been sold and the rest must be raised before Oct. 27th It was suggested by Mr. Teeple that the school buy a bond of $50, the money to be raised mostly by the pupils. He also said that bonds could be purchased at the Pinckney bank on the "dollar down and dollar a week" plan. He also requested that those in the township baying bonds would buy them at Pinckney so that Putnam Township would receive the credit. There was some talk of oeganizing to raise the remaining $11,500, but was not thought necesaary by Supervisor Reason. The following program was rendered: Soldier's Chorus—High School Music—High School Orchestra Song—Primary Room Song—Intermediate Room Address—Mr. Lewis Howlett Solo—Delores Richardson Recitation—Marintha Docking Solo—Madeleine Bowman Michigan Chorous—High School Short Talks—G.

While examinations are now held weekly in 450 cities, the Commission states that arrangements will be made to have an examination held at any accessible place where a small class of applicants can be secured. The entrance salaries range from $1,000 to $1,200 a year. Promotion is reasonably rapid to those whose services provft satisfactory. No appointments can be made to these or other positions in the Federal classified Civil ^Service Commission under the civil service law. Any information to the contrary is unauthorized.

The manufacturers uad shops have prepared for a rush seasou. It is their own expression that they are actually scrambling for a supply to meet the demand. The French gowns are here. New American gowns are not only exploited, but tremendously admired anA approved. The effects of those who have taken the French silhouette and built gowns in their own workrooms, made of American materials, should be commended in an entire chapter. Some of the best houses iu this country have tried out experienced designers uud colorlsts in producing several hundred go^ns that are first cousins to the French in that they express the adopted Paris lines. Each of the designers gives full tribute to the fact that Paris has laid down the lafws for the season; but every designer boasts with honest pride that the clothes are the product of American study and workmanship. In every case, the houses that showed these American gowns called upon their experienced French workers to produce them, and the only ones that were .successful were the gowns that had been given into the hands of those who had studied the Paris methods with reverence and earnestness. The result was that the clientele of these houses saw extraordinarily good drapery, the combination of alluring colors and an excellence in tailored suits that we are led to believe is purely American. The Colors That Prevail. The silhouette has been established. Every woman now knows that her .skirt is to be narrow ;md her coat iong or short, provided it dines to the figure. She knows that top coats are as important as frocks and that ' some of the best tailors offer wily sport suits and top coats to wear over thin one-piece gowns. She also knows that soft materials take precedence over stiff ones; but she has not exactly classified the various colors, fabrics and accessories that she must accept or avoid. These are vastly important matters to the average shopper. True, there is a class of woiarn who go to expensive houses that handle only a few of the most fashionable pieces of apparel and offer nothing that can lead one into the wrong path ; but this ', class remains an exclusive one, and what they do or do not do is not always a guide to the mass of women who must fight out the battle of ' clothes in their own way and to whom [ victory Is vital. i Take colors. Who does not feel | perplexed and confused on entering a shop where humlfcds of colors are dashed upon the vision and offered as the latest thing? o n o feels that n gigantic kaleidoscope has been run before the eyes. The brain refuses and not mauy are available for the woman who has not many social opportunities to display a variety of clothes. To begin at the beginning of the color scheme: Midnight blue holds its own. Black Is in demand by those who want to dress well In the afternoon and evening, but it does not hold a high place for street suits or frocks. Dark Green Rivals Blue. Dark green Is a serious rival to dark blue, and the French dressmakers who exploited it last year are now reaping a reward because the public is accepting It. Know yourself well, however, before touching any tone of green. If you're picturesque, you can wear it in any one of the shades that are variously known as jade, Egyptian and lettuce. The woman who can wear jade clothes and jewelry has a successful season before her, for many of the best materials are woven In this alluring but difficult tone, and the Ori- WnLssV J|k OKP!lr^ *|j jj^^^Hnflnn^B9BsnsM\ •&1 >*-/ / The material In this evening gown Is heavy brocaded satin, the odd bodice in dark blue with t girdle of pale gold dotted with Jet bead*. Skirt of pale fold with flower* In blue, gold and to work. The judgment la suspended. O M foes oat of the shop with a resttag that it U futile to try to bay dotbee and with a dealre to let the seaeoe anoa. It it this discouragement that ears of the women who s a t to net their new apparel as ao folded by the fact that •re raafiy hi This Helmet of Navarre is made of tete de negre velvet, with visor faced with white satin. It is trimmed with two large silver buckles. ental shops are filled with bits of fine Jad;1 made into earrings, hair combs and necklaces. There are fans of peacock feathers with jade sticks and also buckles of the Chinese quartz for slippers. Soft £old-tissue gowns are embroidered with jade beads, in the Byzantine fashion. Ked flickers through the color scheme or bursts upon the vision like the flame from the artillery at the front. It is against the accepted psychology that the colors of war should be exploited while war is on. It is better to be sane than foolish when one approaches the subject of red In clothes. The scarlet danger sign should be put over all the counters where red fabrics are placed, and it should be worn by the mannequin who parades in a red gown. It Is the color of conflict; It Is not the color of peace. The woman who can wear it well is thrice blessed, sartorially speaking, and she Is apart from her. neighbors, because she Is a rare type. None of this applies to dark red. No danger sign is needed against the rich wine surface that brings out what is best in a woman's complexion and eyes. These well-known burgundy shades are offered. They come in duvetyn, serge, satin, velvet and and Rodier's weave of the so-called Bo*- llvia cloth, which the American weavers are imitating In a successful way. An Epidemlo of Gray. The world has gone on for a century or two feeling that gray is the tone of sadness and that its Quakerish ugliness must be avoided. It has been a difficult color for decades. Women have adopted it only when the silver sheen on its surface made it possible. This season, however, ail doubts are dispersed by the superior tones which the dyers have imparted to the various fabrics grouped under the elastic name of gray. There is moonlight gray, which may spell peace, but it is in close proximity to artillery gray, which stands) for death. There is the gray of granite and the gray of London smoke. There is the gray of a New England sea mist, and there is the tone that one gets from the glitter of cat stoaL Those grays are not used alone this season. They are combined with horizon and Ohtnaas bine, with jade and with tnceadU red. M. C. FLYER HITS AUTO; KILLS SEVEN MACHINE DRIVEN DIRECTLY IN PATH OF TRAIN—DRIVER WAS WARNED. Don't Neglect Kidneys Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer's Prescription, Overcomes Kidney Trouble OCCUPANTS ALL DETROIT PEOPLE Approach to Crossing is Clear On Both Sides—Similar Accident Occurcd Last Thursday. *• 0 .Mrs Mrs. Mary Detroit—Seven Detroit persons were killed Sunday afternoon when an automobile they were driving was struck by a Michigan Central passenger train at Hartsig crossing, 11 miles north of Detroit. The dead are: Joseph J. Pohl, 40 years old; Joseph J. Pohl, 36 years old; George Harvey, 34 years old; Harvey, 1 year old, and Thomas Harvey, 3 years old, children of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey. Ralph Pohl, 3 years old, and Helen Pohl, 5 years old, children of Mrs. Pohl. The party, which had left Detroit in the afternoon to purchase poultry, was returning to the city, and approached the crossing from the east. The car was driven by Mr. Pohl. Occupants of another automobile preceding the Pohl car crossed the tracks, and according to Charles Van Dam, a farmer lad who witnessed the tragedy, warned Mr. Pohl of the approaching train. The automobile continued, however, at about 20 miles an hour, it is said, and ran directly into the path of the flyer. Supervisor Hartsig, whose home ia near the crossing, says that the side curtains of the machine were attachd. Hr saw the crash and rushed to the scene. Mr. Hartsig believed one of the women was alive and rushed back to the house for water. On returning he found her dead. Three of the children were taken from the pilot of the engine. They died before reaching Mt. Clemens. Other bodies were picked up 10 to 12 rods below the crossing. The crossing which is two miles soufh of Warren village in Macomb county, has a clear approach from either side. At the same crossing where the fatal collision occurred Sunday, a truck from Rosebud Creamery company was struck by a freight train last Thursday. Two men were seriously hurt at that time. It ia now conceded by physicians that the kidneys bhuuld have more attention aa they control the other organs to a remarkable degree and do a tremendous amount of work in removing the poisons and waste matter from the system by filtering the blood. The kidneys should receive some assistance when needed. We take less exercise, drink less water and often eat more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing the kidneys to do more work than nature intended. Evidence of kidney trouble, such a* lame back, annoying- bladder troubles, smarting or burning, brickdust or sediment, sallow complexion, rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular heart action, warns you that your kidneys require help immediately to avoid more serious trouble. An ideal herbal compound' that has had most remarkable success as a kidney and bladder remedy is Dr. Kilmer's SwLmp- Root. There is nothing else like it. It is Dr. Kilmer's prescription used in private practice and it is pure to benefit you. Get a bottle from your druggist. However, if you wish first to test thin great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure end mention this paper. Adv.

CRAMPTON ASKS COAL FOR STATE Wires Washington That Michigan Must Have Immediate Relief. Lapeer—Failure of the government ) to fix a price for Michigan produced coal is blamed by Rep. Crampton for the high prices at the mines in this Btate in a telegram he sent to Harry A. Garfield, national fuel admiistrator at Washington, in an effort to relieve the shortage here. "Industries are threatened and in many homes in my district there is actual suffering because of the lack of fuel," a part of the telegram reads: "Lapeer is typical of many small cities in Michigan; not a pound of coal of any kind is available here for sale and numerous homes are without fuel of any kind. Michigan operators are taking advantage of the necessity and demand extortionate prices for their coal, $5.75 at the mine being a recent quotation." Rep. Crampton suggested that if factional political fights is holding up the appointment of fuel administrator for Michigan, factional politics should be placed on the scrap heap. He stated no section of the country is in more dire need for fuel than this. POLAND'S FLAG TO FLY IN FRANCE Poles From All Parts of World Asked to Join Colors.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial after all the evidence that is continually being published, proving beyond contradiction that this grand old medicine has relieved more suffering among women than any other medicine in the world.

Aurora, I1L—"For seven long months I suffered from a female trouble, with severe pains in mv back and sides' until I became so weak I could nardly walk from chair to chair, and got so neryous I would jump at the slightest noise. I was entirely unfit to do my house work, I was giving up hope of ever being well, when my sister asked me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

About two months prior to the birth of my baby, I had two convulsions and was taken to a hospital. Doctors said the convulsions were due to my kidneys not working properly. "I had swelling of the feet and ankles so that I hud to wear large - sized slippers. My back ached in- - = ^ tensely, I was nerv- MS. LYQH. ous and unable to sleep. I also suffered from awful headaches and felt weak, tired, languid, and run down. "After I came home a friend suggested that I try Doan'8 Kidney PilU, and I got some. I soon noticed Improvement; my back became stronger and I felt better in every way. I kept on taking Doan's and was cured. They are surely reliable." Mrs. Lyon gave the above statement in May, 1915, and on March 12, 1917, she said : "My cure has lasted. I take Doan's occasionally, however, as a strengthener for my kidneys."

Mrs. Stickitt, a lady notorious for her snving habits, one morning entered the doctor's office, leading by the hand a stoutly built boy nine years of age and of exceedingly healthy appearance. "Well, Mrs. Stickitt," said the doctor, "who's my patient? I don't seem to recognize his face. Not a village boy, is hef^fc ' "No. doctor; my nevvy from town." "Not much wrong- with him, I should say," laughed the doctor, pinching his red cheeks. "It's about his appetite, doctor," said the boy's aunt in a low tone. "What?" exclaimed the doctor, staring at the well-fed young patient. "Surely he doesn't need an appetizer?" "Good gracious, no, doctor!" replied the lady, in horrified accents. "I want you to give me something to make his appetite less. He'll eat me out of house afore his month's holiday Is up if his appetite ain't cut -down !" Money Talks. "Reginald Grabcoin asked me to marry him last night," said Miss Gadder. "I've never heard a more eloquent proposal in my life." "Did he use flowery language?" "Oh, no.

COLLECTING FLOWER SEEDS It Is desirable to save one's seeds, not only as a matter of economy, bat as a means of Improving the variety. In a collection of annual plants, all from the same stock of seed, there will be considerable variety presented. Some may vary from the general stock In the size or color of the flower and others in the habit of the plant. These peculiarities are nof~certaln to be reproduced, but the probability is that some of the seeds from such plants will show them ; and by following a course of selection one can in a few years establish a variety that will come constantly true from seed. It has been found in practice that though a peculiarity may not show itself very strongly the first year, it will manifest itself the next year if the grower perseveres. It is well to mark those plants, the seeds of which are to be saved, while the plants are in full bloom, and not trust to memory. In a bed of plants from which seeds are to be saved, promiscuously, nnd when it is desirable to have all one color, those of a different shade from the required, must be pulled out as soon as they show themselves. Some seed pods open with a jerk as soon as ripe and scatter the contents for a distance. Some open by a hole or crack, and us the plant Is swayed by the wind the seeds are gradually sifted nut. In oilier cases there Is no provision for the scattering of the seeds, but the fruit of seed vessels must d*cay before they are liberated. It is not necessary to wait until seeds are dead ripe before collecting them. A little experience teaches one to know the point at which it is safe to gather. Those seed vessels which in breaking scatter the seed, should be gathered just before they open, and be allowed to pop under some convenient cover. As soon as the seeds are gathered, put a label with them, and when they are thoroughly dry, clean and store them away. The manner of cleaning seed Is va« ried. according to circumstances, sifting, gently winnowing, rubbing between the hands being resorted to according to the kind of seed. A series of small sizes of mesh will accomplish 'roost of the work. these to the bottom. Nymphae is a hardy lily and the culture of it is not a problem which presents grave difficulties. Before the baskets have rotted away the plants will have attached themselves to the bottom of the pond. Where there is a rich, muddy bottom to the pond a piece of pipe is fastened to a root and cast In where the water Is between 20 Inches and two feet deep. While lilies thrive In cement tanks which have a foot of soil nnd the remainder for water, the natural element for them Is the mud of ponds and lakes. Lilies have certain enemies that have to be reckoned with. Rats, pwans and aquatic birds often pull them to pieces. If you are planning a water garden as a means of raising lilies, select a place open to the sun renewed by a small inflow and protected from rough winds by a protection of shrubs or small trees. WATER LILFES By L. M. B E N N I N G T O N . No more interesting adjunct to a country estate from a pictorial standpoint can be imagined than a pond of water lilies. So far as the planting goes, an easy method is to put the plants with soil in some shallow baskets and sink Plant Iris in beds in the open as soon as the bulbs are received in the autumn. Protect the beds during the winter months and early In April cover them with glass so as to have the flowers ready for cutting In May. TRY CYCLAMEN Among winter-flowering plants there is nothing more beautiful than the bulboua greenhouse plant, the cyclamen. They come highly recommended for house culture, as they thrive well and bloom profusely in the average temperature of the living room. Their quaintly formed flowers and oddly marked foliage, and their variety of shades and wealth of coloring mnKe them an agreeable adjunct to the list of house plants.

NEXT DRAFT CALL DUE ABOUT NOV. 1 A U T H O R I T I E S B E L I E V E IT W I L L T A K E U N T I L T H E N TO GET Q U A R T E R S R E A D Y . WOOL UNIFORMS HAVE ARRIVED Enough W i n t e r Clothing Now On Hand to Equip Entire 36,000 Quota Assigned to Camp Custer. Lansing. Michigan's third Increment of selected men will not be ordered to report at Camp Custer before November 1, in the opinion of military -authorities who are making the arrival of new men contingent on the completion of b a r r a c k s and the installation of heating plants. The naming of the exact date lies with Major Dickman, but as previously announced, he will not say the word until he has every assurance that the men will be comfortably housed. The buildings are all well under way, but a number of heating plants remain to be installed. The quartermaster's d e p a r t m e n t is prepared to equip the men as soon as they arrive. Woolen U n i f o r m s For All At Custer. There are enough uniforms—woolen trousers and blouses, overcoats, hats, shoes and all at Camp Custer now to equip the entire 36,000 men assigned to this cantonment, and there are enough woolen blankets to give each man of the 36.000 three and still h a r e some left over. This news, which will be of considerable interest to the 19,000 young men -from Michigan and Wisconsin who will come to Battle Creek soon with the third and fourth i n c r e m e n t s of selects, was given out by Captain M. M. Garrett, head of the quartermaster's d e p a r t m e n t in response to inquiries. Many of the selects are wearing khaki trousers and woolen blouses, but it is not because woolen trousers are not on hand. The weather does not necessitate heavier trousers, the quart e r m a s t e r s believe, and since blouses outwear pants in military life, the plan of withholding woolen trousers is one strictly of conservation. Recently 18,000 comforters were distributed, in addition to the blankets. Though these are not "regulation," there is no disposition to take them from the selected soldiers, even in the b a r r a c k s that are now strain heated. Selecting Selects at Custer. They are, now selecting the selects at Camp Custer. Men found especially equipped for special duty are being assigned to places where the full m e a s u r e of their ability may be utilized. In the sanitary train, for example several men were found who have had training in engineering. In one of the engineer regiments was a man who had had several years of hospital work. Through the readjustments, the engineers land with the engineers, the hospital men with the hospital units. Last of State Troops Gone. W i t h o u t ceremony and with less than 100 people to'bid them God speed, the h e a d q u a r t e r s company of the Thirty- third Michigan infantry left for Camp MacArthur, Waco, Tex., last week. This company was t h e last of rhe Michigan troops to leave foi the s o u t h e r n training camp. The regimental headquarters have been at Fort Wayne, near Detroit, since early last s-prirg, when the troops returned from the Mexican border. The other two stMe regiments were immediately mustered out but the T h i r t y third has been ioing guard duty about thf >fate. One nattalion ha<- puarded the Camp Custer cantonment r*rom the first. This work is now being done by the new draft soldiers. Iron Discipline Urged. Warning officers of the Thirty-second division now in training at Waco, Texas, that the time had come when the personnel of the division gradually must be brought to a state of hard dis ciplme, Captain Allan L. B n g g s , aide de camp, who has seen hghting on the French front, pointed out that once a man is trained in the mechanical fun damentals of modern warfare the do in inating idea that will save him in hit hour of trial is the spirit put into him by his commanders. "Coddling in the army must cease," he said, in a speeach to the officers "In a serious emergency, the company trained on the weedle principle blows up like a toy balloon. "The compelling idea that will save a man when he needs to be saved must be given him by his company comman der. The soldier must have a leader for his soul as well as for his body What his thoughts are about courage patriotism, fidelity, cheerfulness under great suffering, cannot be left tc chance. Stray standards picked up at random must be replaced by the stand ards of an efficient morale. " T h e r e must be a true estimate ol the relative value of the nobler quali ties of manhood, and these, by speech and example, must be inculcated intc the soldier by the man who carries his life in his hands." Draft Men to Go South. It is estimated about 5,000 Michigan and Wisconsin men who had expected t o go to Camp Custer will go sou'h I n s t e a d . Camp Pike, near Little Rnck, Ark., will be their training ground T h e c a n t o n m e n t plans of the war d e p a r t m e n t have been changed by the £TS*viu«? of some .v.. ti«>: al Army men to fill up the Nation i Guard units T h e a r r a n g e m e n t s for the negro t -oops Also h a v e rev|U*re:i somfi r e - a r r a n t men* of the cantonment?. Though a b o u t 5 000 Michigan and Wisconsin men *re o ao to C a m ) T.ke, it is not thought probable tb, ccntingent will be mad up from reen BOW in training By this arrangement Camp Custer's guests this y**r should bo 3l,ooo, instead of the M«000 tkat was first expected. Lies About Custer Laid to W o r k m e n . Attention of camp officials has been called to reports circulated that insanitary conditions exist in Camp Custer, that food has spoiled because of lack of ice, and that soldiers are underfed and overworked. The story was characterized as untrue in every respect and was laid a: the door of some workman, probably disgruntled at his discharge. "This camp is open for inspection by the public in its every deartment," said one of the high officials. "Thousands of people from all sections of the state visit the camp weekly and they have been and still are at liberty to investigate sanitary conditions. They may go into the kitchens and watch the food cooked, they may see the j men at mess and see what they eat. and they may talk with whomsoever they wish as to the character and | quantity of the food. j " T h e r e has been no scarcity of ice to preserve perishable goods, and in | a few weeks we will be manufacturing our own ice supply. The quarters i and men a r e inspected daily for sanii tary conditions and as for the soldiers ; being overworked their own condition speaks better than anything elr.e. "Most of the men have taken on weight since they came here. t "We have been compelled to discharge a number of inferior men who were agitators and were attempting to stir up trouble with satisfied workmen. Despite the fact that the wages paid here are the high' st in the state, there were ?ome so unpatriotic as to a t t e m p t to take advantage of the rush to f nrce them out of reason. Probably the author of the false reports is one of this class." CAMP CUSTER NOTES On company bulletin boards are notices from Washington asking that all food wastage be stopped. t Four tons of clothing discharged by incoming selected men will be sent to Belgium. Next of furnishing soldiers tobacco, letters from relatives, friends or even those who wish to be friends, are the most welcome gifts. Some of t h e prisoners In the guard house objected to taking a bath. They wer? held under a cold sbower and scrubbed with a none too »oft brush.

ALL TRAINING CAMPS AFFECTED Similar Orders Sent to Every Camp — P a r t W i l l F i l l Guard Ranks. Others Form New Divisions. " N e r v e s " B r i n g Men Discharges. Grim precautions are taken daily in Camp Custer to save America from one of wa's worst afflictions. This \ infliction is the increase in insanity , through shell-shocks and the destruction of mental equilibrium. England has been the chief sufferer among the allied nations in the number of those driven mad by battle. One of the stern sad warnings given Am erica by experience of her allies and j of Germany was the warning not to enlist the "mentally unstable." That is one reason why men have been sent home from Camp Custer from time to time. They are not all unsound physically And they are not unsound mentally. ' But they are "mentally unstable." They have shown after days of observation that they are not resilient ' enough for the strain and shock of war. Under war's pressure their minds would break. T h e r e are not many of these men but there are enough to show how the government surgeons are considering every contingency, and applying every sad lesson taught by the war. Sometimes the mental instability ' shows itself the first day. In fact, a few of the men sent to Custer were judged as actual mental defectives. But quite often, among men who are not defective, it takes several days for the lack of poise to reveal itself.

An additional 3,000 men from Camp Custer will go to Camp Pike, Little Rock, Ark., to form part of the new Rainbow National army division recruited from selected men of northern and western states. A complete division of troops still will be left at Camp Custer. The orders to Gen. Dickman, at Battle Creek, to transfer the troop* was issued in conjunction with orders t o c o m m a n d a n t s of all of the 32 a r m y camps making similar shifts, the main purpose of the general tranpfer is to ' iv.nke room for training some of t h e Negro troops of the south in northern camps. The orders provide for a transfer of 78,500 men from the various cantonments. None of the Negroes will go to Battle Creek under present plans. Of the troons transferred from Battle Creek to Waco, 1,625 will be taken from the Michigan contingent and 1,- ?,!') from W i s c o n s i n It is presumed that the troops shifted to Little Rock will be divided similarly. 800,000 BUSHELS OF GRAIN BURN Intended f o r Shipment to A l l i e s — I n - cendiarism Suspected.

STATE OPENS FISH MARKET Game Commissioner Tries Out New Plan A t Lansing, Lansing—The first fish market to be conducted by the state in order to help out the high cost of living is being opened in Lansing this week under the auspices of the game commissioner, John Balrd. He announced several days ago that he had contracted with fishermen near Grindstone City on Lake Huron to t r a n s p o r t trout and whiteflsh here to try the plan. The fish are to net the fishermen 10 cents a pound so that the price in Lansing should be 12 or 13 cents. If the plan works in Lansing, Mr. Baird will have the next lot sold In Flint or Grand Rapids. Since the announcement of Mr. Baird permitting fishing for trout In t h e closed season only on statement t h a t the fish should be sold in the s t a t e at about 10 cents a pound, he h a s heard from many 'fishermen who want to fish under such regulations The trout season remains closed for the rest of this month while the whiteflsh closed season will begin November 10, and run to December 15. Mr. Baird expects to have his organization for the seining of many of the inland lakes ready in about two m o n t h s . The m a r k e t s at which the fish will be distributed will all be inland ones and the selection of them will depend largely upon the experim e n t s in selling fish within the next few weeks. Washington—Lessons drawn from Great Britain's experience in dealing with labor problems during the war are being communicated personally to American labor leaders and employers by four officials of the British ministry of munitions, who have started this week on a tour of American cities, including Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, St. Louis. Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, New York and Boston. The delegation, headed by Sir Stephenson Kent, director of the labor supply d e p a r t m e n t of the munitions ministry, m a k e s the trip at the request of the council of national defense and several state councils, to discuss particularly the distribution and efficient employment of labor ,and to answer questions concerning Briti. methods of avoiding strikes, preventing excessive shifting of men from plant to plant or industry to industry, and suspending minor union regulations for the w a r emergency, without endangering the labor movement's future. New York —Eight Hundred thousand bushels of grain intended for export and valued at more than $1,200,000 W a s destroyed Saturday night by fire in elevators owned by the New York Dock Co., in Brooklyn. P.eports of incendiarism in connection wi'h the fire were revived when Fire Chief Kenlon is-ud a s t a t e m e n t saying the cause of the blaze would be rJ^idiv investigated. "T!: :TP have been 56 water front fires in Now York city lately and it is improbab'e tlu>t all resulted from natural causes," Chief Kenion s a i l . Supt. Tommiins, in charge of the elevator, said that the fire was caused by an explosion inside the structure. He. said that the nature of this explosion warranted the suspicion of a bomb "planter" being responsible. , This theory was scouted by Fire Marshal Broppy who. after a preliminary •investigation, said that he believed an | explosion of."grain dust" had occurred.

Twenty persons were taken to the Ellbert Memorial hospital, Wyandotte, and the Ford Emergency hospital at Ford City. Many were revived in their homes. Ambulances were busy for an hour after the explosion removing the unconscious victims and administering first aid m e a s u r e s to those only slightly overcome. Washington—Food pledge week, set for October 21 to 27, has been postponed to the week of October 28 t o November 4 by Food Administrator Hoover, at the request of President Wilson, to avoid conflict with the final week of the second Liberty Loan drive. The president, in his letter to t h e food administrator, said it seemed undesirable in "the interest of both these capital m a t t e r s " t h a t they should be in motion at the same time, and laid emphasis upon the importance of enrolling the people of the nation in food conservation. Plans had been laid by the food ad ministration to have its 500,000 pledge campaign workers assist in the flotation of the Liberty Loan while enrolli ing families under the food adminis- ' tration and these will be carried out.

The 40 per cent of the national army quota that is now arriving at Camp Custer probably will not recieve uniforms for a week or more as the work examining and mustering seems to be a long drawn out ^proceeding. No uniforms weatever will be given out until a man has finally passed the physical test and his name has been inscribed on the muster roll it was announced yesterday. A mistake that had a laughable sequence in some instances was made when the first arrivals came and soaae wer* given uniforms before jned<~ ited by a State inspector, under the teal examinations. A Bomber of these men failed to passand were comeqoantry turned back into civilian Mfe without gaining fall status in military life. Then it was discovered that these yeang men had thrown away their civilian clothing. As it is against the military regulations for one who is not in service to wear service uniforms, the officers debated over the matter at length but couldn't see how they could take the military clothing if a man didnot have anything else to wear. They decided that the only course was to send the men home in their uniforms and instruct them to return the uniforms as soon as possible. -Marshall News. The last legislature of Michigan passed an educational act by which all high schools must be inspected by the State Board of Education if they wish to collect tuition of non-resident students. This act was passed because of the pressure exerted by high schools on the legislature to raise the price of tuition to $26 a jear, claiming that $20 was too small a sum to pay for instruction offered. The committee of the house in looking into tha matter found that $20 a year was too small an amount in most cases but too large an amount in others. In order to make a raise in tuition justifiable the committee recommended that all inferior schools must raise their standard of equipment and instruction to meet the demands of secondary education.

Some of the requirements to be met with are, properly qualified and suffi. cient number of high school teachers; the moral tone of the community such as to insure the proper conditions for the location of a school; spirit of work and scholarship shown by the student body must be of superior quality; proper and sufficient apparatus furnished to demonstrate the various sciences taught; spacious library with sufficieut books to meet all reference work in the various subjects offered; course of study must be modern in all respects; sanitary conditions of buildings and grounds must be good. If a school faite to meet these standards they cannot collect any tuition from non-resident students, but if they do ihey can collect $25 a year from outside districts for each student who attends high school.

JACKSON CITY IS PLACED UNDER BAN ENLISTED MEN AT CAMP CUSTER ARE OROEREO TO KEEP AWAY FROM W E T TOWN. CLASS TRAINING (S STARTED More Advanced Men Are Being Qiven Special Instructioni — Lower Classes Follow Routine. La nam* Jackson has been placed under the bi.n of the authorities of Camp Custer. Balis ted men are forbidden to visit the town by an order of Gen. Dickman, though special passes for "exceptional cases" will be granted "to reliable men." No reason for the barring of men from Jackson is given, but it is understood that the city is undesirable because it has saloons. The state vice committee has also indicated Jackson ia a bad place for soldiers. The text of the order follows: "Organization commanders will publish an order forbidding enlisted men of their commands from visiting the town of Jackson, Mich., without permission, u.nd all men apprehended in Jackson by the military police or who are v> known to have been there in viola- \Jon of orders will be promptly •'brought to trial. Permission to en- X listed men to visit Jackson will be Custer Expects Negro Troops Soon. It is understood that the next increment of drafted men going to Camp Custer will include enough Negroes to form one regiment and an overflow. Some 3.000 colored boys are expected from Wisconsin and Michigan and if enough of them are left after the examinations to form the neuclus for a second regiment, Negro selects from one or two other states may be brought in to fill out the ranks Negro troops will be "comman'ed by Colonel Frye, but will be officered by commissioned men of their own color who will come from the Des Moines training camp. Battle Creek's Negro population plans to look after the selected Negroes as nicely as the war recreation board is looking after the white selects. Three Negro lodges, Masonic, Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias, will have a joint meeting as soon as they are told when to look for the boys and will make elaborate plans for entertaining tnem. —J I i . The Real Test of Patriotism ^ granted only in exceptional cases, reliable men for business reasons, which cases written losses will given." to in be Start Training In Classes. Separation of the sheep from the t;oats has begun at Camp Custer. The 338th infantry has started to train the men by classes this week. They have been split for training purposes into three classes: A, or advanced; D, good, and C, the backward men. For the class' A men there are ihree hours of special Instruction divided between early morning and afternoon. Class B follows the schedule as issued by the war department, while class C will be held to the school of the squad until it knows them. The two lower classes will be advanced gradually. For the class A men the most interesting work is the special bombing ;md bayonet instruction. There will also bo signal classes, revetting classes, where the men are shown the methods of supporting the -ides of the trenches to keep them from caving in. Except for the three hours' work, fhe men follow the regular schedule. This does not provide for anything startling. Four hours of next week will be allotted to night work, and two hours to trench construction, but much of 'X is merely the repetition of work gone over under the last two weeks' schedule. Custer Men W i l l Be Made Officers. New ambition and hope for officers' rank has been aroused in the breast* of Camp Custer soldiers. This was caused by definite announcement by the war department of officers' training camps to train private soldiers for commissions. The schools will be opened Jan. 15. One will be opened in each division of the regular army, the National Guard and the draft army. This means that a school will be located at Camp Custer, or that one will be opened nearby for Camp Custer men. Any private between 21 and 40, a member of the regular army, the draft army or the Nat: cnil Guard, will oa eligible for the officers' schools. In addition, about ^,000 college men will be receivrd. Camp Cutter will be entitled to send about 1.7 per cent of her enrollment, or 700 men, to the officers' school. This will be only the beginning of Camp Custer's contribution to the officers of the land forces. When the army of 3.000,000 Is finally trained it must have 150,000 officers. Camp Custer's quota wi.l be upwards ot 5,000. Of course, many contingents will have come and gone m Camp Custer before the army of 3,000,000 is afoot, ~.nd her 5,000 officers havr tir d their ^cld-and-black hat cords. But already a definite chance of nonors Is offered the national army men. Seniority Rule Done Away W i t h . Promotion by senioiity is done away with in the Michigan National Guard. While it is in the federal s rvice promotions are to be made because of 'fitnese and capacity" only. This news, in a war department bulletin just pub'ished at Camp Mc Arthur, Waco, Texas, is soothing to several 51st officers, who, because of the breaking up of the regiment, lost their seniority. Furthermore, it sets at rest the rumor that theie would be no promotion of g-iard officers above the rank of captain. The new regulations provide for all officers up to colonel. While the officer* of the oil 31st oar© sealed down In th* 125th and 126th and are dsvoting their entire attention to learning and teaching the new mfitary game, some of the men have not so adapted themselves, espn. dally those of the comoanles that were split up. Requests for transfers Work On Heating Plants Rushed. Work on the heating plants at Camp Custer is being rushed but final completion is not expected till November 1st. All heating pipes which run from building to building are carried on poles, high in the air. It was necessary to adopt this course, in order to complete the installation befoic winter sets in. A vast amount of coal will be necessary to teed the boiievs. owing to the wastage of heat, but. thU was the lesser of the two evils, and the plan was chosen by the engineers for that reason. In the meantime most of the barracks, during the cold spell, have been uncomfortably cold, During the day the men did not suffer. The evening hours following their return to their barracks, however, were the ones when they felt the chill. The result was that the Y. M. C. A. building?, which are heated, enjoyed more than their usual patronage. Five hundred stove?, which had been ordered in anticipation of a cold snap, are being installed. The stoves are wood-burning sheet-iron affairs, capable of producing a large volume of heat. There is more than enough fuel to keep them all going until the steam plants are in operation. Sewage Disposal Plants at Custer. KalamazoD. Galesburg, Augusta and other towns lying below Battle Creek on the Kalamazoo river, which have been wondering what effect Camp Custer's sewage might have on their health, can now breathe easier, for the war department has qrdered immediate construction of two sewage disnoaal plants, and one of them is already under way, at the foot of the famous hill over which each of the 40.000 se- '_. \ m v " " 7"" lected men of the Eighty-fifth division kro coming In numbers, as comrades • were separated by the breaking up of j a * ° P a s s Each plant is a cement structure 100 the companies.

The first drive tn which the men of Camp Custer are taking part Is the eminent $36,000 for this one by 60 feet, containing eight settling tanks, approached by three channels through which all sewage for that particular end of the camp must pass. After being chemically treated the liquid will eventually pass into the Kalamazoo river. It will cost the govlittle Liberty Loan campaign.

A Maxwell truck will cover 100 miles in a work day—twice the distance covered by two teams and two drivers. It will do this at an operating cost of less than that of one team of horses.

R G I L B E R T . This term is applied to leaves w h e n they are so thoroughly decayed a s to readily s e p a r a t e Into small particle*. Leaf nioiu 4M u valuable manure in many Instances, especially on heavy soils, and one of i he most Important Ingredients for. the soil used m the suoce«stul cultivation of the majority of plants. It ui/iy be used freely, particularly with the tender s e e d l i n g s and cuttings of soft wooded objects, provided it be of good ipiality and free from injurious fungoid growths. ' The pioduction of roots in young plants of this description is Induced ami ncuelei aled with more eel taint,v by plantljig in this material than hi Ihe n<e of any ot her. The qualify of leaf mold depend* very materially upon the sort of leaves composing it and In the manner ot preparation adopted. It is found from experience that the best leaves are those collected from H wood or olh'T place where the principal l i v e s are beach and bark, and where their leaves fall over a large area every year, and naturally d e e a ) slowly, until those beneath I he surface become changed Into a light amid. In many instances such leal mold cannot be obtained on account of the necessary removal of the leaves to preserve t i d i n e s s ; but on the other hand its importance and additional value over that artificially prepared Is not sufficiently recognized in many place* where quantities aught be obtained iu the woods. Leaf mold of good quality tuny be used to the extent of alnnit one-thin) In cotn]»osts for azaleas, g r e e n h o u s e rhododendron*, and many tine-rooted hard-wooded plants of this description It may also with a d v a n t a g e be incorporated along with peat in the p r e p aration of beds for nearly all plant* of i h e heath family which are grown nut of floors. :d Leaves and Grass. See How Well T h i s Humus Pile. Further, nothing Is better for Improving the flower beds, or for adding to soil of any description for placing around trees, shrubs or plants w h o s e roots it is desired to encourage. If leaves have to be gathered Into a heap for leaf mold, a place should be selected where they may he - p t v a d rather thinly, so a s to avoid a n y excessive beating by fermentation. T h e whole shiaihl be turned o v e r occasionally so as to expose all parts In turn to the iniluence of the w e a t h e r Mid air. Where the air-catuiot reach leave* that are of a somewhat dry. hard texture, their decay i* exceedingly slow, unless there are other s u b s t a n c e s Intermixed to hasten decomposition. Water may be applied artificially for the purpose, hut It never has the s a m e effect as rain, and If a large heap is made, this latter cannot penetrate far into the interior. Leaves should lie collected free from sticks, if possible, as those are liable | to encoiituigc fungoid growths, which, finding a suitable medium for increasing the leaf mold, will !n due course render It useless for plan! cultivation. T h e time taken In reducing leave* to a mold or fine soil depend* greatly on the amount of turning over and <»ih er attention devoted to ihe preparation. Much may he done In one year, or even less, hut the quality is usually better If a longer time than till* Is allowed. Get Out!

SENDS GERMAN OFFICIALS HOKE Enter* War On Side of U. S. in Order to "Alllgn Itself With the Cause of Liberty and Justice." Montevideo—Uruguay has aevered diplomatic relations with Germany. After an all-night session the senate and house, last Saturday, authorized President Vlera of Uruguay: To break diplomatic and commercial relations with the German empire. To adopt measures to facilitate navigation in co-operation with the friendly nations and measures to assure imports and exports. The president acted promptly on the first point and took immediate ateps toward action on the second. In a sneech to congress, he made ft clear Uruguay enters the war on the side of the United States, not because of any particular grievance, but to "al- \ign itself with the cause of liberty and justice." Passports were issued to the German diplomatic and consular officials. Uruguay gtve9 guarantee for their personal safety until they are out of the country. At the same time, cable orders were despatehel to Berlin ordering all Uruguayan officials in Germany to leave for home immediately. It is expected that Montevideo will be converted into a base of operation for the allied fleets. FIVE DROWN WHEN SKIP BREAKS Barge Loaded With Coal Founders In Hail Storm. Harbor Beach, Mich—Five persons, including one wonnn, were drowned, ani three others were rescued in a heroic manner when the barge Athens, loadei with 3.500 tons of soft coal, broke in two and foundered in a gale and blinding hailstorm, 25 miles off Southampton, Out., in Lake Huron, at 4 o'clock Sunday morning. After circling about the wreckage of the birge for nearly two hours, and maluntj five unsuccessful attempts, Captain Frank Sinnott, commanding the tug Lucknow, which had the barge in tow, rescued three members of the barge's crew, who were in the Athens' yawl. Handicapped by darkness and storm, Captain Sinnott found it impossible to rescue the four men and woman who were lost. He kept close to the wreckage as long as possible, in fact of the danger of being rammed by the floating hull, but finally had to clear away. tho*e drowned are: M.,J. Starkey, captain, Tonawanda, N. Y. Mark Starkey, his son, 16 years old. Jonah Elander, 23 years old, of Sweden. Kenneth Smith, 19 years old, Ashtabula, O. Mr3. Florence Stalker, a widow, 38 years old, of Sarnia, Ont. LA FOLLETTE DIFENDS COURSE Asserts That "War Party" Is Trying to Suppress Peace Talk. Washigton—Senator La Follette, irhose expulaion from the senate for disloyalty has been urged in various petitions just before adjournment last Saturday, spoke for three hours in reply to critics of his course in the war. Hts was a carefully prepared speech. He asserted that the "war party" besides carrying on a campaign of "libel and character assassination" against members of congress who roted against the war, was attempting to suppressed discussion *t war issues and intimidate the people themselves by invading their homes and unlawfully throwing them Into jail. Characterizing the attacks upon him as a "general campaign of vtllitfcatJon and attempted intimidation," * L a Follette defiantly shouted. r "Neither the clamor of the mob nor /the voice of power will ever turn me by the breadth of a hair from the oorse I mark ont tor myself, guided by •vch knowledge as I can obtain tad controlled and directed by a solemn conviction of right and duty.** Whatever may be the opinion of members of the United States senate so to the recent utterances of Seantor La Follette, and in spite J t the feet that the sub-committee h u m e t e d to t**—*** those utterances is comof men unfavorable to the Whv senetor, It is anlfkely thai Le FoOette wffl be expelled from the sen- Temperance fConducied by the National Woman'* Christian Tetnyeram e Union.) "WHY K I L L THE GOOSE?" A cartoon Issued by the publicity department of the liquor trafficker* 19 entitled, "Whj Kill the Goose?" saya Prof. John A. Nichols in the Union Signal. It represents a fat goose, labelled, "Internal iteveuue." Its three eggs, ure very conspicuous, but an ax marked, "Prohibition," is in dangerous proximity to its neck. Well, there are many reasons why the goose should be killed. In the first place, the cost of feeding it is too great What would you think of a farmer that kept a flock of geese at a cost ten times greater than the amount realized from the eggs produced? If, when his attention tiad been called to the matter, he tried to defend his position by telling you how much he obtained from the sale of the eggs, and spoke of it as a profitable transaction, you would at once consider him a fit subject for some kind of mental treatment. For many years Uncle Sam has been that kind of farmer. But skillful mental treatment, in the form of scientific and economic facts, having been administered to him for some time, he is beginning to show signs of sanity, and we hope ere long this expensive and • dangerous goose will no longer find pasture on Uncle Sam's farm. PROHIBITION PROHIBITING. From The State, daily newspaper of Columbia, in dry South Carolina, comes this testimony: "For weeks the city has been thronged, especially at ulght, with workingmen, many of them white and hundreds of them negroes, but there is little or no evidence of disorder and practically none of drunkenness in the streets. "With the count.-y engaged? in war and with the nerves of the people at high tension, with money abundant, with soldiers better paid than ever before, with wages hijh and with an Immense transient population, the Columbia of 1917 presents such a contrast to the Columbia of the Spanish-American war that those who remember that time could hardly believe it to be possible if they did uot see it before their eyes. 'What the future of the whisk) traffic shall be It is not worth while to discuss, but it is the simple truth thai prohibition Is prohibiting and the old argument to the contrary, so long re lied on by the whisky donlers, is, foi the present at least, discredited. Whoever says that prohibition will not prohibit is heard with derision." POT CALLS KETTLE BLACK. The Brewer and Malter: The reason why a beer saloon is a success Is because a man can drink a large quantity of beer without getting drunk. He can stick around and talk or play cards for the greater part of an evening and go home sober. He cannot do that and drink whisky. That Is why a whisky saloon Is not a success. Midas Criterion (champion of distillers: Any man who has had any experience In drinking knows it is possible to get exactly as drunk on beer as on whisky. If we were to decide between the merits of the beer drunk and the whisky drunk, we would say candidly that the mushiest and sloppiest kind of a drunk in the world is the beer drunk. PIANO 8 A L E 8 INCREASE. According to traveling representatives of Eastern piano manufacturing eonverns who have recently been in San Francisco, says the Musical Times, piano sales in the western states that have joined the dry ranks show marked increase. T h e / report that business in Colorado, Arizona, Washington and Oregon was never better and that retailers; many of whom opposed prohibition, are now heartily in favor of the change. More pianos are being sold, ft is asserted. Initial payments are larger, collections are much better and fewer instruments are returned. IN T H E CITY OF 8EATTLE. The prohibitory law of the state of Washington went Into effect January 1,1916. Of buildings occupied the last day of 1915 by 211 saloons, ten are now occupied by drug stores, haberdasheries, women's specialty shops and the like; 56 by d f i r , candy and soft drink places; 14 by groceries and meet markets; six by confectionery stores; 19 by cafes, bakeries and the like; 20 vacant for repairs, or because building is too poor for bust new. for A GOOD RULE.

Paris.—One single Item excepted, everything in France has advanced from 25 to 200 per cent inf the last three yours. The rent of large apartments is the only item which has decreased since the war began, and that is due to the fact that thousands of foreigners—American*, chiefly—packed off to the United States in August, 1914, subleasing their homes fur a song, and thousands of French people who formerly had handsome places can no longer afford the upkeep, especially with coal almost impossible to get and with the servant question a greater problem than it ever was. Today one can find a handsomely furnished apartment of seven rooms or more in a fine modern building, with all improvements, at a cheaper rental than the place would have cost unfurnished before the war. But one would find also an elevator—of the automatic brand—that does not work, radiators with no heat, hot water pipes with no hot water, and a re- I striction on the very amount of gas and electricity consumed per month. And with positions at good wages in munition factories open to every girl from sixteen years up, It Is almost impossible , to find house servants. Small Apartments Dearer. j Rentals for apartments of one, two, three, or even four rooms, on the other hand, have mounted steadily. They are in demand by the well-to-do refugees, Belgians and those from the north of France who arrive in large batches daily, Telephones were Increased exactly 50 per cent a year ago.

The land was put In cultivation a good many years ago and not long after put down to grass ami kept in pasture until last year when it was appropriated for a garden back of the new house. Last year a splendid crop of weeds was grown In the garden. Not by me, please understand, for I have a const! tutlonal antipathy for weeds, inherited from a long line of farmer ancestors. 1 might have expected a very good warden this year without special attention further than cood cultivation, hut I know that garden vegetables are voracious feeders and concluded to supply mine with ul! they could take care of by putting on commercial fer Ulizer. The land was plowed hist full, turned under the w ' n l s which were from waist to shoulder high. Tins spring a beautiful crop came on ami was worked into the soil before the garden wa« planted.

ORDER IS EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1 Committees Appointed By Fuel Administrator Will See That Order of Government Is Enforced. Washington — Government control uver the coal industry has been made complete by an order of Fuel Administrator Garfield limiting the profits of retail coal and coke dealers throughout the country to a basis which is expected to bring about an immediate reduction in prices to the consumer. The order, effective October 1, directed that the retailers shall fix their prices so to limit their gTOss margins over cost to the average of the gross profits during the year 1915, plus a maximum, of 30 per cent of the 1913 margin, provided that in no case shall the average margin of the month of July, this year, be exceeded. Local committees appointed by the federal fuel administrators in each state will s e e to it that the dealers comply with t h e order. Dealers themselves will be called upon to return sworn costs sheets showing the facts upon which they have based their prices. Dr. Garfield selected 1915, as a normal year because the coal shortage which resulted in continued rises in prices did not begin until 1916. The additional 30 per cent is allowed to cover the increase in the retailers cost of doing business, which has Increased substantially during the past two years. Prices already fixed by the government for coal at the mouth of the mine are near those charged in 1915, and with the jobbers' charge now limited to 25 cents a ton and the cost of transportation not materially Increased, the consumer, In every community, should be able to get coal of any description at approximately the price he paid in 1915. COAL SHORTAGE IN STATE ACUTE GAVE UP HOPE Often Wished For Death to End Her Misery. Doan's Effected a Complete and Lasting Recovery.

According to Survey, 50,000 Detroit Homes Have No Fuel 8upply. Lansing—That there is an alarming shortage of coal in Michigan especially in the large cities was brought out emphatically by a survey Just completed in Detroit, under direction of the Detroit Board of Commerce. Fifty thousand Detroit homes ara without coal, and without positive assurance of being able to secure a winter's supply of fuel, a condition unprecedented at this time of the year. The results of the survey have not been made public in their enttrety, but enough of the chief features of the report are known to reveal a situation startling in its indications of hardship for the public. Coal dealers, without a known e i - ception, are refusing to take advanco orders from their customers. Dealers, unable to obtain any information in regard to when the fuel administration will permit shipments here, are running no risks of making promises of delivery that they may be unable to fill. Opinion among Board of Commerce members and Detroit coal men, howaver, seems t o be that Detroit la being discriminated against, and that an early and emphatic protest to Washington la the only course open, if a shortage of fuel in mid-winter is to be prevented. a S.

LEADERS CHARGES MEN W I T H CONSPIRACY TO HAMPER GOVERNMENT DURING WAR. SEIZED RECORDS SHOW GUILT Documents Taken in Raid Said to Reveal Plot to Re«ist Draft Law and Foment Strikes. Chicago—Formal return of a blanket Indictment charging a nation-wide conspiracy to hamper the government during the war has been made in the United States district court here against 166 leaders of the Industrial Workers of the World. Seditious conspiracy- the crime nearest to treason within the definition of the criminal code—is charged. ThlB offense is punishable by six yeare' imprisonment or $6,000 fine, or both. Indictments are understood to be based upon revelations brought to light in the recent country-wide seizure by federal authorities of documents and correspondence of the I. W. W. in approximately CO towns and cities. These documents are understood to have revealed the existence of a conspiracy, the most far-reaching in its acope of any yet unearthed, to embarrass the government in the prosecution of the war by resistance to the draft law, by fomenting labor disturbances, by burning crops and forests and in numerous other ways. A camparatively small coterie of men it understood to have directed the entire movement. The evidence laid before the grand jury was of such volume as actually to weigh a ton or more. There was evidence that German money was plentifully supplied, as shown in many letters and cancelled checks. Indications pointed to a group of men as prime movers In the great conspiracy with a large number of agents acting under their orders. One feature which the investigation brought out sharply was the almost predominating membership of Austrian* in the ranks of the I. W. W local organizations. Thousands of these men, unrestrained because the United States is not at war with Austria, feaeral investigators have found, have been free to carry on whatever activities were planned. Among the first to be taken into custody was William D. Haywood, secretary of the national organization of the I. W. W., who was questioned September 5, when the headquarters of the I. W. W. in various cities were raided by the government. After he had been questioned by Hluton O. Clabaugh, of the department of justice, Haywood was held in default of $25,000 bail. iECOND LIBERTY LOAN ISSUED Bonds Carry 4 Per Cent Interest—Sale Closes October 27. Washington—The campaign for the sale of the second issue of Liberty bonds which was opened Monday, October 1, will close Saturday, October 27. The chief features of the new issue are: Amount—$3,000,000,000 or more, tbe excess not to be more than one-half of the amount of over-subscription. In other words, if subscriptions to the extent of $5,000,000,000 are filed, $4,000,- 000,000 of bonds may be alloted. Term of bonds—Maturity, 25 years; redeemable at the option of the secretary of the treasury, in 10 years. Denominations of bonds—$50 and multiplies of $50. Interest rate—Four per cent, payable semi-annually on November 15 and May 15. Terms of payment—Two per cent on application, 18 per cent November 15, 40 per cent December 14 and 40 per cent January 15, 1918. The privilege of converting bonds of this issue into bonds of any succeeding issue bearing a higher interest i than 4 per cent during the period of j the war is extended. I Through an arrangement under I which bonds will be printed with only ! four coupons instead of 50 (to be exchanged at the end of two years for the bonds containing the full number of coupons), deliveries will bo prompt. In this manner, the issue of Interim certificates will be avoided. Camp McArthnr, Waco, Tex.—Completely losing its identity as a regiment, the Thirty first Michigan infantry upon its arrival at Camp McArthur, Waco, was split up and the enlisted men and officers were divided between the old Thirty-second and Thirty-third. No sooner had Colonel Ambrose C. Pack announced the safe arrival here of all the Thirty-first men than he was informed by General Lewis C. Covell, commander of the Michigan forces, that complete reorganisation of all the state guard had been completed. Cavalry Made Artillery. Here are some of the important points in the reorganization: The Thirty-first, Thirty-second and Thirty-third regiments are wiped out as such; in their places there will be the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth and the One Hundred and Twenty-sixth infantry. Cavalry outfits are transferred to artillery and there will be no cavalry troops in the National Guard. Michigan troops will form what is known as a fighting brigade, the sixty- third, and are likely to go to France early in 1918. A machine gun battalion of three companies will be part of the Sixtythird brigade. Commanding the brigade will be General Lewis C. Covell; Colonel John B. Boucher, former commander of the Thirty-third, will command the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth infantry, and Colonel Joseph B. Westledge, who commanded the old Thirty-second in the north, will command the new One- Hundred and Twenty-sixth infantry. Identity of Troops Saved, That the Michigan guard was not made the Fifty-seventh depot brigade as had been ordered, was due entirely to^the activity of General Covell, officers here said. If the Michigan soldiers had been used as a reserve force, then they would have been scattered among the Wisconsin fighting regiments and would have lost their identity. The result of this would have been that when I he history of the war was written Michigan troops would have received no credit for participation. Claiming that this was a decided injustice, General Covell, after many conferences, won over the department, Washington—A communication from and instead of Wisconsin having two the governor of Minnesota and the fighting brigades, she now has one State Public Safety commission, re- fighting brigade and one depot brigade, questing expulsion from the senate of and Michigan has one fighting brigade.

He said he could not decide until after conferring with other members and that a quorum of the committee could not be obtained probably during this session.

CATHOLICS AND PROHIBITION. The Liquor publicity bureaus are making much of the fact that Cardinal Gibbons Is opposed to prohibition. They would have the jpublic forget the many stalwart champions of the antiliquor cause in the Roman Catholic church. They would like to blot from its memory the words of Archbishop Ireland: "Were God to place in my hand a wand with which to dispel the evil of intemperance, I would strike the door of every saloon, every distillery, every brewery, until the accursed traffic should be wiped from the face of the earth," They would erase from the rememberance of the communicants of that church the scathing Indictment of Archbishop John J. Keane : "If I could cause the earth to open and swallow up every saloon in the world, I would feel that I was conferring upon humanity a blessing. The saloon is bad for the home, the church and the country. It has no redeeming feature." They would have good Cathoucs forget the advice of Cardinal Manning: "The drink traffic is u public, permanent and ubiquitous agency of degradation. The drink trade Is our shame, scandal and sin, and unless brought under by the will of the people, It will be our downfalL Do you know how you can help to break up tliis unholy alliance between government and the greatest fraud of the age? Vote against It."—The Union Signal. GREAT GAINS TO LABOR. Conditions in Shreveport, La., a dry city, are thus described by Mr. Thomas J. Greer, president of the Louisiana Federation of Labor: "Since the influence of the liquor traffic has been removed from union politics we have made tremendous gains in Shreveport since the town went dry in 1908. Membership in labor unions has increased from 1,800 to 3,700, and home-owners among union men have increased 40 per cent. The carpenters' union has increased its membership from 65 to 375. When Shreveport was wet the painters' union had 35 members, working ten hours a day for $2.75. Today the painters' union has 145 members, eight hours a day nnd 55 centp an hour, or a scale of $4.40 per day. Barbers have shortened their hours of labor, raised wages continuously and have a 100 per cent organization. A brewery under the wet regime employed six non-union brewery workers; today an ice factory at the same location employs 40 union ice workers." FEW SITTING IDLY BY. Of all the reasons that may be urged ngainst the use of alcoholic drinks (especially during the wnr) the two that must appeal to physicians with irresistible force, are (1) the action of alcohol In lessening all forms of efficiency, physical, Intellectual and moral, and (2) the Intimate connection? always found between drinking, prostitution and the spread of venereal diseases. The evidence against alcohol on these accounts is so overwhelming, so well-established and so generally known that it does not seem necessary to go into details. Only the other day an experiment was mentioned In the Journal which showed that 60 grams of brandy caused a depreciation In the marksmanship of expert shots of 80 per cent In rapid firing and 50 per cent in slow firing. What sense is there In training men to become efficient and then sit idly by and let the hard-won efficiency be taken away by alcohol?—Journal of the American Medical Society. WHO 18 RESPONSIBLE? I have observed that every bandit crew that goes forth to murder startj from a saloon; that every panderer has his rendezvous in s grog-shop; that every den of thieves makes its victims drunk, before It robs them; that every house of prostitution has its bar or is in partnership with boose; that every gambling den either is in s saloon or sustains a dose relationship with one; that the pickpocket ••trust* is housed in a saloon; that the "payoff joint" for the crook and the crooked policeman Is in a saloon; that the professional bondsmen and character witnesses for thieves and holdup men are saloonkeepers or bartenders.—Judge Gemmlll of Chicago.

MORE WHEAT PRIZES Honors for Western Canada Come Year After Year. At the recent boll Products Exposition at Peoria, 111., in a keen contest for the coveted first pri*e for wheat. Western Canada has again carried off all the honors. Not only has she won the first, hut also the second and thin I prizes. These were won by Mr. 8. Larcoiube, of Blrtle, Manitoba. In past | years the Province of Saskatchewan had the distinguished honor of carrying off the iuitlul prize. Harvesting a.nji threshing are now completed in Western Canada, and while it is early in the season to give exact figures as to the average yield per acre of wheat, oats, barley and Max it is safe to assume that the former will yield about 20 bushels per acre. The price to the farmer will be about $2.00 per bushel, giving him $40.00 an acre of a return. When it is considered that the land upon which this wheat Is grown averaged less than $30 an acre, it takes very little figuring to arrive at an estimate of the profit there is to the grain grower of Western Canada. The writer knows where u farmer purchased 160 acres of land In the spring of 1016, broke it up the same year, put it in wheat In 1017. His crop was harvested a few days ago. It yielded 4,800 bushels and he sold it at $2.05 per bushel, giving him $9,840. The land cost him $4,800. breaking, seeding, seed, cutting and threshing. $1,920. His profit was $3,120 after paying for his land and his costs of improving. He has now $3,120 to commence another season with a "paid for in full" Improved farm. Never has farming offered such profitable returns for labor as at present and nowhere Is the large profit equal to that of the low priced, high yielding lands of Western Canada. There has been a big rush during" the past few weeks of renters and owners of high priced lands In many parts of the United States to Investigate these 100% profit reports. No better season of the year could be selected by anyone desiring to better their condition and wishing to give Western Canada the "once over.'* Threshing is now completed and tho grain being marketed. The weather Is fine and will be pleasant for a couple of months and a visit now to personally investigate the conditions will be convincing ami profitable. White old home Lies nnd family associations are one of the first considerations In the mind of the reader, who feels that, the old five or ten per cent return Insufficient, it behooves the modern and progressive farmer always to be on the alert to grasp the opportunities of the hour. Land in Western Canada that if? annually producing n gross return of from $40.00 to $S0.00 per acre is purchasable at from $15 to $30 per acre. It can be seen at a glance that such values cannot help but increaseas they have done In the older agricultural districts of the United States. The new settler will find himself surrounded by same contented and prosperous neighbors. The expense of making one visit to look into Western Canada's opportunities is small—n special reduced rate is available and you owe> yourself ,a holiday and a trip may do you good. You, owe your dependents a right to better your condition and Western Canada offers that opportu* nit v.—Advertisement. Real Foresight.

The neighbors knew nothing about the establishment, except that the father was quite wealthy, und the daughter, very good looklog and gentle. In reality Kingston was head of un anarchist hand, composed of Huff, Boroday, Talbot and Lethbridge, that robbed the rich and gave to the poor and oppressed. One day Old Hilary was shot dead, and the course of life changed abruptly for his daughter. The Rev. Mr. Ward, a young bachelor, began to take an uncommon. Interest In Elinor. Youhg Walter Huff of the gang confessed his love for her and she accepted it. Then Boroday was arrested on suspicion and his companions perpetrated a country club hold-up to get funds for his legal defense, but were sadly disappointed In the amount secured. CHAPTER V—Continued. "An audacious piece of work. Half the women In this vicinity suffered, Most of them are my parishioners." "Ah!" breathed Elinor. "I am sorry." Ward shrugged his shoulders ruefully. "It means, I dare say, that the poor of the parish will get less than ever this year. Mrs. Bryant, for instance, who has always be*m generous, lost a j)earl necklace and a wonderful pearshaped pfnk pearl." MIs she—a wealthy woman?" ''Very, I believe." "Then Is It such a terrihle thing for Jier to lose the pearl? Perhaps these '•bandits, as you call them, think they <"Ould use these things better than the people who owned them." Ward smiled. "I daresay we all think we could use the other fellow's j*ossesslons better than he does." Elinor persisted, frowning n little. "Things are so terribly mixed up," •he said. "If you could know the things thnt I know"—Ward looked faintly nmused—"the people who are fighting /or a principle, and have nothing to ilght with, fighting for life sometimes! A good half of the world, you know, just Rtrugglea along, and the other half is so smug, so satisfied ; It's—it's horrible." Mr. Ward stared at her. "How in the world do you come by such thoughts?" he demanded. "I've never known anything else; I 'was brought up on the Injustice.of things. You have your poor here in the parish, but you see I was brought xip with the poor of all the world. I am afraid I'm always for the under dog." Rather startled was Rev. Mr. Ward that summer afternoon on the terrace at the Hall, startled and puzzled. "Down In oar hearts," he said, "perhaps we are all of us for the under dog. But how does that excuse my bandltsr •This Mrs. Bryant—how much dc 3rou suppose you are going to lose for your poor by her loss?" "Not so much, but enough. She had promised a lot of things. She called up this morning to say that it was all aff.** He started to say that all bets were off, but decided that it was uncterical and changed i t "But I didn't •come here to worry, you about myself or the parish, I think you should not toe here alone." ! EHinor looked down over the village. •Then perhaps, after all, it would be better tf I married at once." "Ah! You are to be married?" "Now that my father is gone." said jBHnor wistfully, "It seems the best «altit> And—I should like children. I feave no friends, except perhaps you,** Ward atrore to keep his voice steady, *nd matter-of-fact. "Marriage U so serious—so vital a thing.** He was trying to be calm and jBdlctal. But his voice sounded far toff; his heart pounded in his ears. "To narry because one is alone, or needs friends—Is a flimsy foundation to build "I had a governess once who had that sort of faith; it was a great comfort to her. But I sit here on my hillside, and It seems to me that spread out at my feet Is nil the Injustice and cruelty and hatred In the world. And your God allows It all. My father tried to believe—tried hard, but he said that when he asked for bread they gave him a stone." "Do you know who said that?" "My father." said Elinor. Rather surprised, he let It go at that. CHAPTER VI. Once again Elinor surprised him. "There have been few really great fcjaiaaoas In the world,** she said. "I cmld almost count them on my fingers. ftrjie rest of as seem to get along without.** ••Perhaps there are more than we fcear about. Every now and then. In a y work. I come across something so much «rester than I had expected, selfsacrifice, lore, charity, as to justify my <aith in mankind." "Your fsith!** BHnor said softly. «That Is what I envy you—your faith. iNot only your fsith In your kind, h o t - , the other sort" Faith, hone and charity—and the treatest of these Is fsith. Alas for oU f|M..v"n «rfc# tad sot kept his! So great had the urgency of Boroday's position become thnt the band met at the hall on Thursday of the week after the country-club affair. Lethbridge was to get his Instructions; Talbot wished to discuss his prospect. After dinner, the night being warm, they had their coffee on the terrace. A summer storm had come up. All at once a flash threatened Saint Jude's. Huff leaped to his feet. "I've got it!" he said. "What Is It they call the big building back of the church?" None of the men knew. It was. as a matter of fact, the parish house. Lethbridge, however, knew Its function. "Fine prospect thnt!" he drawled. "That's where the Sunday school Is held, and where they*keep the plated knives and forks for the church suppers." "It's a darned fine building." said Fluff. "What would they do If It burned down?" They were too unfamiliar with church affairs to hazard a guess. Elinor, who had been sitting silent, suddenly voiced an objection to Buffs unspoken plan. "There must be some other way." she said. "The children—they have sewing classes and entertainments for the children there. It's the parish house." "If lightning struck the parish house tonight—" Huff said quite eagerly. "This Is Thursday. By Sunday morning they would be taking up a whacking big collection to rebuild It" The Idea had taken hold of his Imagination. Even the suggestion that a large part of the offertory might be In checks mattered not. But Elinor was obdurate. T o n can do it some place else," she said. "Not here. They struggled very hard to build the church and they need money now. Mr. Ward told me—** Huff turned on her jealously. "Ward—that's the preacher chap?" "He is the assistant rector." Elinor replied with dignity. "He's been coming here, then?" "Twice. Once when father died, and once to warn me against all of you." Not that she had forgotten that few minutes in the garden, under the moon; but that bad been an accident—hardly a call. Talbot chuckled. Bat Hnff was thinking hard. Elinor had been different lately, a Httle softer. Ward represented all that the men Elinor knew were not—<aw to their violence*.order to their disorder. There was almost a snarl in his voice. "He*d better stay down In his valley with his old women." he said. "and leave you alone. You don't need him." *Tm nnt so sure of that." Elinor replied quietly, and left him staring. . . . Huff burned the parish house the next night He did it himself, without the assistance of the hand. Into it he put not only the devilish Ingenuity of long experience, but his new hatred of Ward. Church ptuperty Is always easy of access. It was the work of fire minutes to crawl through a hi asm flit window uutl of half an hour to make his preparations. He looked at his watch when he hud finished. It was just midnight. In two hours, or before the fire began, he would be back in the city, establishing his alibi. The Are-whistles In the village wakened Elinor at something after three o'clock. All of her room was filled with the red glare of the burnlug parish house. Old Uenriette knocked at her door. "The church is burning down in the valley," she culled. "It's a grand sight." Elinor was throwing on her clothing. She must see Ward. She would sell her pearls. She would build a new parish house. She said this over and over to herself as she struggled down the hill. A new parish house, better than the old, with plenty of room for the children to play Inl At least It was night and the children safe in their heds; thank God for that! She was too disturbed to notice that she had thanked the God In whom she did not believe. The fire had gained too much head- I way to be checked. All the efforts of | the volunteer department and the small I engine were directed toward saving the church. For a time It seemed as If Saint Jude's must go. Elinor watched the destruction. It seemed as though a band had fastened Itself around her chest Then she saw Ward, He was on the ridge-pole of the church roof with a hatchet The ridgepole was burning slowly. She could see him chopping. From that time she never took her eyes away from him. Other men were there. She did not see them. She saw only Ward battling on the ridge-pole. and high above on the steeple the sturdy cross of his faith. Once the men on the street helow turned the full force of the hose on him. She saw him reel, saw him recover himself by u miracle. The fire glare died into the dawn. Saint Jude's was saved. Behind it in its pnrk the charred skeleton of the parish house showed how thoroughly young Huff bad done bis work. Not until Ward had descended safely to the street did rilinor relax. Ward found her sitting In one of the chairs along the pavement, her hair still lu Its loug braid, her feet thrust into slippers, her eyes red from loug staring. The fire engine wus being dragged away. The crowd had dispersed. Ward, blackened and depressed, was surveying the ruins with a heavy heart. He turned and saw the girl. Just at first he was not sure of her. He was always seeing her, mentally. Then he went toward her. his hand out. "You see," he said, "what un hour may bring forth!" And then. "You reckless child, here In slippers!" "I saw you on the roof," said Elinor, barely able to articulate. "Once I thought you had fallen." "They nearly got tue. It's rather sad. isn't it?" He stood, bareheaded lu the cool dawn, and surveyed the ruin. People meet great crises simply. She tried to find some word of sympathy to say. but what was there, poor child? She knew the true Inwardness of that disastrous night. So. with pathetic eyes, she turned away. "I'll go home now," she said. "I saw the glare—I- Quite suddenly her dps trembled. -1 should like to help vou with the new building." "Fine!" said Ward heartily. "We'll get to that before long." "If you had fallen—" Re was not listening. It came to her then how far apart they were. To her his falling would have been an end of all things; to him, it would have meant the beginning of a useful eternity. "If you wait a little. I'll run around and get my enr and rake you up." She sat down again, obediently. She was glad to be with him n little longer. Until recently, the work of the band had always seemed a vague abstraction. Now one of iis results lay before her. And there were other things fresh in her mind—old Hilary, dead of his revolt against law. and lying in state before an altar erected to a God he had not recognizid. And Ward, watching her windows t nd thinking her the embodiment of wl.nt a woman should be. Over her bitterness rose a hot wave of anger against Walter Huff. She had forbidden this thing and he had done it. NOTICE TO SICK WOMEN Positive Proof That Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Retteres Suffering.

Most men can at least declare there were four walls around them when they were | born Into the world, but even this poor Lincoln hardly could boast. General Grant is known in history, of course, as the commander-ln-chief of the Northern armies in the Civil war and eventually as president of the United States, but it may not be equally widely known that.

Prices in France [f^oDULued from iirst page] whiter and better and served fresh. Wine, next to bread, is essential a t the French table, and here one finds u sharp advance in cost. Before the war a bottle of fair vin ordinaire, either red or white, could be bought for t>0 centimes, or 12 cents. Today the same wine will cost ut least one franc, probably 1.25 and possibly 1.50, and a deposit must be left on all bottles because" there is a great shortage with bottle manufacturers working almost entirely for the army. And after one has paid five sous deposit on the bottle and returns it he usually receives only three sous back, the wine merchant explaining there is a charge of two sous for rental of the bottle. The better the wine the greater the increase in price, especially if it comes from Champagne or any other section in the zone of the armies where there are difficulties to the industry. Good dry champagne that cost 12 francs before the war now commands 18 or 20 francs, and the sweeter varieties are only a franc or so cheaper. Meat Price Doubled. Meat has doubled in'nearly every case, and in the exceptions it has increased mure than 100 per Cent. Pork takes the lead, a small chop often costing as much as 1 franc 50 centimes, nearly 30 cents. Sliced ham and bacon are marked at prohibitive prices, but then few French people eat them. Veal and Iamb are the favorite French meats, and they have both doubled in price. A roast of veal will cost from three to three and a half francs a kilo—two pounds and a quarter. Beef has soared like an airplane, costing four, five, and even six francs a kilo, and good quality is hard to find, even at that fabulous sum. Horse meat, which is rarely <-ttten even in the poorer districts, has advanced 20 per cent to two francs nnd a half a kilo. The usual sausages, pates, and other concoctions made from meat fragments are double the old marks on an average. Rabbits—always a French s t a p l e - have advanced 50 per cent, and chickens, ducks, geese, and turkeys are double. A three-pound roasting chicken— broiling is unknown here—will cost 15 to 18 francs. Eggs, strictly fresh, cost 6 to 8 sous apiece, and since there is no cold storage in France the cheaper grades are likely to be strong and cost 4 or 5 <«ous each. Fish has advanced in price and achieved a two-day-a-week popularit;-, because on Mondays and Tuesdays i:c meat can '•*> served in restaurants, a/1 all liu; ' i ; ^hon>; are closed. t'hec - i c advanced vharply due to ' li .<>] ' ' ^ of milk, and the wonder! ul "pel if Suisse,'' which was 3 sous before the war, is 6 or 8 sous today. Brie, Ouuembert and other selected cheeses have doubled. Milk is up to 9, 10 and 11 sous a litre, but it is a heavier, creamier milk than one usually finds in New York dairies. Potatoes are sold by weight, and have doubled and trebled in price, fetching 12 to 18 sous a kilo at this time, although when the bulk of the new crop is in it »411 probably be reduced. Beans in all their varieties vie with potatoes as the popular vegetable, and Soissons, green beans, string beans, white beans and lima beans are hard to get and have advanced 30 to 40 per cent. Fresh tomatoes can be purchased from hucksters on the street at 12 cents a pound, but usually cost a franc—20 cents—in shops. Artichokes can be bought at 40 to 50 centimes apiece, but usually range around a franc. Salad, which before the war was so cheap, is now an expensive article. Lettuce enough for two or three persons could be bought for a couple of sous in 1914; today it will cost 8 or 10 sous. Romaine is also very high. Green peas have not advanced as sharply ns the other vegetables, but the demand is limited. Cheap and medium priced clothing for both men and women fcas advanced steadily in price during the last three years, with shoes showing the most pronounced increase, due to the leather shortage because of the army's demands. Ordinary high shoes for men which cost 22 francs before the war are now marked a t 30 and 88 francs. •--* * - •' ^ - Women's shoes, too, h a r e advanced as sharply. Good socks and stockings a r e almost impossible to find in Paris today. Contort ere* of the Rue de la Pats of world-wide reputation have not advanced prices much for robes, dresses and tailored suits, been a certain increase, but even be-' fore the war these "creations" were listed RO high that the artists who sell thera lock the nerve to boost the price higher. Due to High Wags*. Silk underwear, night gowns and boudoir robes have advanced sharply, as before the war these articles could be bought in Paris much cheaper than in New York. Today, owing to the increased wages paid to t h e girls who do the handwork, and -because of the advanced quotation for raw silk, prices are up a third. Women's tailored suits a r e also up, and it is a pretty poor garment that can be bought for less than 200 francs ($40) ready made. The Increased price for wool is given as the reason for this sharp advance, although the stringency in the dye market Is another cause. Mep's suits are 150 francs and up for anything worth having, whereas even a year ago a three-piece outfit could be purchased for 120 francs. Men's tailors are bending all their energies to making uniforms and their cutters have almost forgotten how to make civilian clothes. Before the war a good suit of clothes for a man could be picked up for 85 to 95 francs. Increased cost of gasoline and tires has caused a 25 per cent advance In taxicab rates. But the increase in tips is where the big advance has come. No chauffeur Is satisfied with 10 or 15 per cent of the amount registered. He won't accept less than a 50 centime piece, even for a short ride which registers say, 1 franc 25 centimes. Usually he expects the change out of 2 francs 75 centimes for such a 'haul. Horse cabs cost as much us automobiles, and the horses are so decrepit that one only rides in them for amusement, not really to get anywhere. Tobacco prices have been advanced BUT SHE IS NOT CHINESE Her clothes are Chinese—there is no mistake about that—and the pose is purely Oriental, but yet this girl sitting cross-legged on the table isn't Chinese at nil.

One of the peculiarities to be noticed i in connection with the twining of plants is the fact that with very few exceptions all the individuals of one species always twine in the same direction. Most plants twine in the opposite course to the movement of the sun or the hands of a watch. Such twiners are the morning glory, wistaria, wax plant, trumpet creeper and many others. Among those which twine in the opposite direction the hop and wild bindweed, or climbing polygonum, are familiar examples. South Iosco Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Whitehead and F.

I do not wish the Kaiser ill, I wish him nothing that would kill; No bomb, with neatness and dispatch To wipe him from life's kaffe klatch No dagger thrust between his ribs That would destroy his royal nibs; I would not have him swiftly die; That is too good for such a guy. I only wish the Kaiser might Hay fever get, and get it right. I wish the Kaiser's royal nose Might know the woes my poor knows, I only wish his royal chest Might always feel as sore distressed As mine mutt feel until the day October's frosts shall come our way. I wish that royal piece of cheese Might be forever doomed to sneeze Death is too good for such a king Hay fever would fee just the thing. A pair of watery eyes and red, An aching and a throbbing head. A choking throat, and fevered lips, And then a nose that constant drips; The wish for sleep but all in vain; To end one cough to cough again! All these are parcel of the wish I cherish for that royal fish. If I could work my will sublime, He'd sniffle to the end of time. | I'd never let the kaiser die, i Although for death he'd often cry; \ As punishment for all he's done, | His nose forevermore would run, i A million years on earth he'd stay : And sneeze a thousand times a day. I Sweet sleep would never find his bed i All night-long—the floor he'd tread. Death is too good fdr such a king Hay fever would be just the thing.

StocMge Elevator Co. Anderson, Michigan* State Tax Rate $3.43. The state tax for 1917 is $3.43 $1,000 assessed valuation. This figure was announced by Auditor-General Fuller. The total valuation is $2,800,000,000 and the total amount to be raised by state tax is $9,609,339.36. The figure does not vary much from the estimates made some time ago, although the rate is now fixed for the first time officially. According to Mr. Fuller's figures 35 counties will get more money out of the primary school fund this year than they will pay in .state taxes. This is about the average number of counties so situated. Red Cross Ladies Take Notice We have permission from headquarters at Howell to furnish oar own boys as they leave us with outfits consisting of sweaters, scarfs, socks, wristlets, ete., and the same will be taken from the apportionment to oar auxiliary. Besides this there is a special appeal just now from the hospitals in France. The cold weather is coming on, the hospitals are full and all the things mentioned above are needed there and they have none in stock. Can we not sacrifice a little more of oar time and harry along the knitting and sewing and get the finished garments in their hands before the cold weather sets in. East Lansing, Mrch. A study of conditions in the rural schools of Michigan conducted by the Michigan Agricultural college through its department of agricultural education has resulted in the unearthing of much inefficiency and lack of economy in the maintenance of the state's country school system. "The country educational system of the state is ineffective and expensive," Prof. W. H. French of the college has written in a report of his observations; "and in hundreds of districts it costs more per capita to teach the children during eight years in the rural course than it does to teach the children in a twelve year course, including the high school, in many of our Michigan cities - that is it costs more per child per year. "The question of taxes and equalization have been discussed with great vigor, yet there is no tax which the people pay that is so unequal in itself and so unequally distributed, as is the school tax. We have communities in Michigan where the school tax runs as high as 6 per cent, and still other communities where the primary school interest fund from the state practically pays the entire expense. This phase of the country school question should receive careful consideration at the hands of our rural people. "In Vevay townseip in Ingham county, where a typical example is afforded, there are six rural schools and the city schools of Mason, The per capita cost in each of these rural districts is higher than it is in the city of Mason. If these six school districts were ail consolidated with the Mason district the teaching force in the town- Bhip could be reduced by three or four teacners, and by transporting the pupils it would be possible additionally to give all the children the same educational advantages, and at less expense, than is now incurred. This instance can be duplicated in at least 500 otber townships in Michigan. "Another plan would be to combine the six rural schools into two or three schools, with two teachers in each. These schools would be in the country and could take the children easily through the first six grades. After that, the pupils by providing their own transportation could attend the centra! school without great difficulty and atj very small expense. 1 his plan might j not decrease the whole amount of the • tax levy, but it would distribute the j money equitably and increase the com- i munity spirit. If districts are com-1 bined so as to have two teachers in j every rural school the efficiency of the j school could be increased 100 per cent, , the community spirit improved and the per I sbhool made more nearly an educational ! center. "These consolidated schools, and high schools in which an agricultura course is offered, tend to check the cityward movement of farm boys. Careful investigations of the agricultural work in our high schools showed in one year 100 young men who when they entered the high school had no idea of going back to the home farm, but who as a sisult of their school training declared they had secured a new interest and a new virion of the possibilities in agriculture and were going to return to the farm. Thus, agricultural training in the high school saved at least 100 keen young men for agriculture. This year there are 3,200 boys studying agriculture in the high schools of the state."

"In the form of letters, telegrams, n o la'i'sns. checks, r-ccvpts, ledgers, cash books, cipher codes, lists of spies and other memoranda," the committer says, "were found indications—in some instances of the vaguest nature, * "in others of the most damning con- * clusiveness —that the German imperial government, through its representatives in a then friendly nation, was concerned with: " V i o l a t i o n of the laws of the United Str*es.

The Michigan National Guard will not get into the fighting for at least a year, according to the best information here. This belief is based on the fact that the British troops were trained for 12 months before being sent in, the experience having been I that in this new war-game, troops that ; were not expert were more of a hindrance than a help. The Michigan brigade will not be In the United States all that time though, according to reports, but in all probability will sail before Christmas. The rest of the training will be within hearing distance of the big guns at the front. If the local interpretation of new i orders from Waco is correct, the j Michigan troops will follow the Wis [ consin troops into the trenches ini stead of leading the way. j The Michigan troops are now the fifty-seventh depot-brigade. This is \ taken to indicate that they *vill be i held in reserve and used to supply men as those on the first line become exhausted. Also, the regiments may ; be sent into relieve the Wisconsin ' men and in this way preserve their unity. [ There is a difference of oninion on this, however, and it is held entirely I possible that, depot brigade or no depot brigade, the Michigan men will ; get on the firing line as soon as any other troops, tion in favor of Ireland is highly desirable, in order to g^in the sup- * j United States in Mexico port of Irish influence here." • • « • < * • • : * * * * * * * The state department has plenty of proof that the cablegram as made public actually reached Germany. Neither Secretary Lansing nor any other officials would say whether any reply ever reached the ambassador. It is presumed, however, that one did, inasmuch as at that time the channels nC communication of the German embassy were of the best. Senators and representatives were told by the state department that the o f count von Bernstorff, former Ger- •text aa made public was complete.

Across the page streaked the name timations that certain organizations, through which v on Bernstorff worked, were mentioned in the cablegram were denied. No Comment By Lansing. Tbe text of the message was given out without comment. Extraordinary disclosures already made has fixed the belief that agents of the United States government have C O U N T V O N B E R N S T O R F F . collected and compiled the entire story of German dupliolty and intrigue. Tfce reference to avoiding war is taken as an Indication that Bernstorff had knowledge of his government's intention to proclaim a merciless submarine warfare, and that be.was equally confident that the United States government could not be placated by mere promises. The German annenncement of its submarine plans wee not made public until January SI. Three day* lster the United States government had severed relations with Germany. The German ambassador had denied knowledge of his government's inten- Uos and pretended that he dM sot approve the course Papen and 3oy-Ed, attaches of the embassy. Atop of this revelation linking the Germany embassy with throttling designs against the United States. Senator King releaved letters that proved Fair Play and other radical newspapers had fattened on the largesse of German and Austrian agents. He advised weeding out the propagandists and counselled making war on Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey. King told the senate he had photographic copies of checks and receipts for men y pr id bv von Bernstorff to the Fairplay PubMshing Co. and Marcus Braun, its editor, among others. The Fairrlay magazine may be one of the guiding hands of the "organization" mentioned by von Bernstorff as a possible factor in trying to influence congress against war. The sums paid out to it by the embassy show that it was a constant drain on the Teutonic exchequer. King said he also has copies of paper* showing payments from the Austrian embassy to foreign language newspapers. Among these is a |700 subsidy paid a Polish newspaper. Data Is A u t h e n t i c . King's data is known to be absolutely authentic and further shows the extent of von Bernstorff's web of influence stretched throughout this country. The King expose coupled with the state department revelations, stirred congress to new demands for searching Inquiry into the use of the disloyal press in spreading German propaganda. King's data shows that von Bernstorff was operating his pro-Teuton poison early in the war and the payments cited by King were almost two years previous to those Bernstorff admitted were being made in January, 1917. If we can get a definite lead to work on, we will begin an Investigation of the Bernstorff slush fund," said Senator Overman. Overman is chairman of the lobby Investigating committee. This com mlttee can begin the Investigation without a resolution or any farther authorisation than it possesses. Overman conferred with several senator* who have evidence. New A r r i v a l s Are Happy Lot. More than 14,000 boys from the Michigan homes came over the top to Camp Custer last week and, smiling, laughing and singing, entered upon the great adventure which lies before t h e m . ' From the time that the fifst group arrived, until the hour when the last strays had been sent to- barracks where warm food and ready cots awaited them, there was no change in the sentiment. Three weeks ago when the first contingent straggled into Camp Custer, the feature of the day was the enthus- ; iasm of the officers. Last week it was the spirit of men themselves. Suit- i cases in one hand, flags in the other, i they tolled and sweated and laughed and joked, unafraid, unabashed, confident and willing, typical American yo'uths. It was a sight that thrilled and ' made the heart beat faster. And old as the men of the regular army are in the experiences of their service, even they stood moved by the spectacle. Something had robbed these men of the feeling of uncertainty with which their fellows came three weeks ago. Somewhere in the interval that has passed since they saw their friends march away, they have gained a new and true conception of Camp Custer and all that it includes. No Cavalry at Custer. There will be no cavalry training in Camp Custer. After much speculation, including speculation on who was to be the cavalry horse trainer, this much is clear. The government is making ready artillerv and infantry for the trench.wars in Prance. The day of" the cavalry may yet come, when the resistance of the Germans is broken. /Then hordes of horsemen will prove priceless, in roiling into Germany and advancing the outposts of Invasion. The government's first plan for the cantonment included the organizing of nine regiments of infantry and one of cavalry. Each infantry regiment was to have a machine gun company and there would be a machine gun troop in the cavalry regiment Italians Appeal to Governor. Governor Sleeper has been appealer to on behalf of the Italians of Michi gan to get the state department at Washington to remove a peculiar ban which hangs over all Italians or cons of JUliana who enlist in the United Slates army or who are dratted for the national army. In brief, the United States and Italy have no treaty by which Italians or sons of Italians, born in this country, who serve in the army in America are exempt from duty in Italy. Rep. John Deprato, of Iron county, member *of the legislature for years, acted as the spokesman for the Uali'ns, and impressed upon Governor S'eeper'and other state officials the necessity of having something done by the state department. A resolution introduced last June by Rep. James has j seemingly been lost in congress and j in the general mixup over war at ; Washington nothing has happened to it. Board Acts to Avoid Vice I'ls. i The question of the social evil in connection with the cantonment at Camp Custer has been taken in hand by the war board, particularly the presence of communicable diseases. A committee consisting of Dr. H. M. Sawyer, of Hillsdale, member of the state board of health. Dr. A. S. YVarthin, of the University of Michigan, Dr. Guy L. Kiefer, of Detroit, also a member of the state board. Dr. C. G. Parnell, city physician of Jackson, and R. M. Olin, secretary and executive officer of the state board, was appointed to investigate feasibility of segregating women afflicted with communicable diseases and tho possible detention of these women in the university, hospital at Ann Arbor. Diseases of immoral eau.se are legally "communicable" and can be ouuran tined. The state "epidemic law" also enables the health board to declare an epidemic when it so decides and to control- an infected district and remove the victims to a state hospital. It is not expected that the report will be forthcoming for some time, but when it does it will be acted upon promptly. It is realized here that if the state is to take official cognizance of the matter at all, it must act at the start. Canvass Farmers in Loan Drive. Every farmer in the state will be canvas?ed by members of committees in charge of the Liberty loan drive, which probably will be launched in October, according to plans outlined at a conference at Lansing. Michigan's apportionment will be $100 000,000. In the last campaign Michigan's quota of $63,000,000 was oversubscribed more than $1,000,000. The same organizations which had charge of the last campaign will be employed in the next drive where possible, it is planned. It is believed that the prosperity which has resulted in farming communities from $6 beans, $1 potatoes and $2 wheat, will add materially to the success of the campaign. The new bonds will be sold at 4 per cent, which is also an added inducement. It has been suggested that a day be set for a rally in each of the 8,000 school districts in the state to boost the loan. CAMP CUSTER NOTES Stop Visitors at Camp. The terrifflc influx of visitors at Camp Custer has led to an order by the officers proh."biting visitors from entering without a pass. The rule on passes will he fairly strict, and visitors will be discouraged. Those having business In camp will of course be permitted to enter, but »the division stiff advises that they arrange for passes as early in the week ae possible. Because of the immensity of government business personal conversations are prohibited on camp phones. Bishop Kelley is, expected to visit Camp Custer October 24, to dedicate the first Knights of Columbus building. It has been announced by Captain Tage, in charge of postv exchanges, that no concessions will be granted in camp. Because of numerous changes In camp construction it is estimated the plant will not be completed before March 1. Major General Dickman has caused a sign to be erected on camp roads forbidding a speed in excess of 15 miles an hour. A formal notice has been received from the war department stating that no regiment flags will be taken to the front lines in Prance. Special attention is being paid to messes in all companies. Officers realize that unless the men are well fed they cannot fight. Only the best provisions are purchased and the ration is to balanced that variety is the rule. Camp Custer will soon witness the thrilling realism of "bayonet drill.** Every stage of a bayonet battle will be represented.

C -*A THE YOUNG CLERGYMAN SURPRISES ELINOR WHILE SHE IS DOING HER SHARE IN A DARING COUNTRY CLUB ROBBERY Synopsis For years old Hilary Kingston lived with his daughter, Elinor, in a beautiful home on a hill in the suburban village of Woffinghara. The neighbors knew nothing about the establishment, except that the father was quite wealthy, and the daughter, very good looking and gentle. In reality Kingston was head of an anarchist band, composed of Hun*. Boroday, Talbot and Lethbridge, that robbed the rich and gave to the poor and oppressed. One day Old HHary was shot dead, and the course of life changed abruptly for his daughter. The Rev. Mr. Ward, a young bachelor, began to take an uncommon interest in Elinor. Young Walter Huff of the gang confessed bis love for her and she accepted It. v> CHAPTER IV—Continued. Tl»e police were still active. So insistent was Boroday on caution that all of September went by without so much as a plan of campaign. Talbot played ?olf and established friendly relations that might be invaluable later. Huff, under protest retained the taxlcab work, "It's a dog's life," he said. •They're not after me now. Give me something else to do, or else let me take a vacation." But they kept him at work. Huff fell Into the way of seeing Elinor tmce or twice a week. Talbot took him out, picking him up on the edge of town after dusk, on his way In his car to a dance or dinner at the country club, and taking him back the same way. And the boy's infatuation for Elinor grew and thrived on those late summer meetings. Her sweetness and elusiveness maddened him. Sometimes he thought her never so far from him as when she was In his arms. "Do you love me?" be would demand hoarsely. "1 think so. I know I want you to love me." And he had to be content with this. On the evenings when she was alone Elinor sat In her arbor and watched the road up the hill. Ward had called twice, and each time she had heen out on the long rambles she took almost flaily. After his second visit, she stayed In the house for days, expecting him. But he did not come again. 8he was n<it in love with Ward, Just as she was not in love with Walter Huff. But the clergyman represented. In her strange and lonely life, some- Cbing new and different. He typified all that she had never known. He was the priest, rather than the man to her it first. The time was coming when be would be man only, and after that— Late In September Boroday was arrested. The arrest came as a shock to the band. As a matter of fact the police could prove nothing, but the chief bad a long talk with the Russian. It was the Agrarian affair, of course. The chief bad recognised him. But so firmly bad old Hilary's respectability been rooted In the public mind that the chief connected Boroday only casually with him. "Yon know that I cannot prove this thing on you," he said', "but you know lis© perfectly well that I can fix you to the tone of about ten years." "Perfectly correct in both instances," mid Boroday. T o n cannot prove anything «nd yon can send me up. What is it yon wantr "I want the members of that band of fours," said the chief. "And I want rour headquarters. Ton people have Seen playing hell in this county long mougn; the newspapers are laughing it us. 8ooner or later, well get you and get yon all. Make It sooner and well let you off easy." "How ranch time will you give m e r Tnc ehtef offered twenty-four hours md Boroday took It At the end of that time be reported. "I eneas m take what's coming to ne," he said. T o n can fix It any way FOB tike." Jt was a bitter disappointment to the •etlee. try club coup. The Russian was in Jail then, on a trumped-up charge. Old Hilary dead and Boroday In Jail—there was no one to advise caution. "Boroday ill!" Elinor exclaimed. They were accounting for his absence from her Saturday-night dinner. "Why. then he should be here, where he can be cared for." "We told him that." Lethbridge was always readiest with his tongue. "But he's not sick enough to need much, and he's deucedly disagreeable when he's laid up." Elinor was a little hurt In the arbor, after dinner, they planned the robbery. Where old Hilary would have taken a month to think and plan, they took minutes. There was a ball at the club that night, the last of the waning country-club season. The entrance to the grounds was a mile from the clubhouse—two Iron gates standing open between pillars, and dense shrubbery all about. Talbot would wreck his car there, driving Into one of the gates. That would require each departing car to slow down, probably to stop. The arrangement was that Talbot walk up to the club, and establish an alibi and his innocence by telephoning to a city garage for help. The rest CHAPTER V. Boroday bed used his day's freedom fo warn the band and to make plans *or regaining his freedom. Of money le had none.

A quarter of a mile away across the golf links, they would have a car in which to make their getaway. Lethbridge was only lukewarm. "Well get a lot of Jewelry." he objected. "What we need is money.* But Talbot was sure the loot would include money. It was rather cleverly planned. From the vault Huff brought up a fine chain studded with spikes. Stretched across the road outside the entrance, ft meant that every car passing over It would limp along on flat ttrea. It meant time to the bandits. Huff and Lethbridge. who had left their car 1Q a thicket over the hill, went first Talbot followed soon, in his gray car. "Good luck, hoys," said Elinor In echo of her father, from her garden, and went hack Into the house to watch the clock. At one, or a little sooner— the summer dances were ea! she was to he in her gardeo/agaln. The loot would be thrown over die wall. She was there much/earlier, bands eokL Hpe shaking wi Always old Hilary had done these things. She was profoundly frightened Ward, walking rapidly home from the ctab, aaw her there, a little after nil<liti^ltt. There was a young moon, and tit h>»t he thought he must be mistaken. Then, when he was sure of her. he run up the shullow stepe. The gladness thut was over him rung out In his deep voice. "So now I have your secret," be said gully. "Like all the other fairies, you are only to be seen In the moonlight I" "In the daylight," said Elinor, trying to smile, "I frequent the woodlands, and miss my moat agreeable visitor— my only vial tor." She corrected herself. Her hand was ice in bis. "You are cold I" "Really, no." There was a minute's pause. They had no common ground between them. Ward, who dreamed of her eyes, and took long walks up the hill in the mere hope of seeing her In her garden, found himself dumb, now that he stood before her. He had meant to be most Impersonal, to run in. say a cheery "good night" to her, and be off. But face to face, with the dark house looming over them, he plunged into the thing nearest his heart. "Are you still ao—alone?' "There are the servants." "I—I think of you often. One of my windows faces this way, and I can see a light burning very late." "I read at night. I do not sleep well. But you—you are up late, also." "Ah!" He bent a little toward her In his eagerness. "You know that* You know my window?" "Yes. I watch it very often." It was well for Walter Huff, crouched In the shrubbery at the country club, eyes glittering, automatic revolver In hand, that he did not hear the thrill in Ward's voice that night In Elinor's garden, or her soft reply. Many things cried for utterance in Ward; his pitiful sense of the girl's loneliness, a yearning desire to comfort her, to be near hei*—even more that magic night, a mad longing to hold out his arms and coax her Into them, as one might coax some shy creature of the woods. But Elinor was suddenly aloof and distant again. At any time now a car would come wildly down the hill, and toss at her feet its defiance ot law and ownership. What had she and this man before her In common? The thrill was In his voice now, but how quickly It would turn to loathing when he knew! She put out her cold hand, and he took it. "I am going in now. Good night, and thank you for stopping. Ward found himself dismissed, and, rather dazed, went down the steps to the road. But one thing he carried with him down the hill that night: "I watch your window very often." The reverend Mr. Ward left his light on all of that night, so fearful was he that she might look for It, and not find It •And while It burned, under the very shadow of Saint Jude's once more the vault In the basement room at the hall swung open to Elinor's practiced fingers. The village rang with the news of WHY HE CLOSED POST OFFICE Ike Wanted to Transfer th« Rush In Business to His Other Establishment Dncle Ike Ross, a weatherbeaten mountaineer, who presides over a post office among the hills of southern Missouri, peered through the stamp window at two city men who had tramped Ave miles from their mountain camp to post some business letters. He shook his head. "There's been a plumb big rush of business at this hyar post office this morning," he drawled, "and Tm all tuckered out I reckin I won't sell nobody no more stamps till after dinner." "But" gasped the man nearest the window, "these letters have got to go! They're important and they've got to catch the stage and get off today." Uncle Dee was obdurate. "Hit shore don't pay no man to work hisself to death," he said deliberately, and withdrew to a chair, where he tipped back and dropped into a doze. "Some folks," snapped the city man. "would be too lazy to make a dollar if all the opportunities of the next 50 years came and perched on their doorsteps I Now, where are we going to get dinner?"

No one had been hurt, but Jewels of large value hud been taken. To Huff and the others, the raid bad been practically a failure. There had bettu leas than a thousand dollars in money—not enough to begin negotiations for Boroday's freedom. It began to look aa though the dangerous business of selling some of Elinor's jewels would have to be resorted to. Lethbridge was willing to undertake it, trying London first and then Paris. Elinor offered all the diamonds. If she must keep a part, she would keep the pearls. Talbot sorted out the stones to be sold, but left them with her for safety. She had never cared for her Jewels. They were not half so lovely as her flowers—and she parted from them without a pang. But there was one pink pear-shaped pearl that had come In the night before, that she would have rather liked to wear. On Monday afternoon Ward called on Elinor. The memory of that short meeting in the garden had been with him ever since. There was a new light in his eyes, but she greeted him de murely, although she flushed with pleasure. "Not In a woodland, for once," sho said. "And all my falryllke attributes faded In the daylight!" "Isn't it rather rash?" he asked gravely—"this risking the daylightV "I am here because I hoped yon would come to see me." It was Ward'fl turn to flush. "You said you were lonely, 1 thought—" "I am alone, but not as lonely a* you think. There Is plenty to do. I have my garden, and I make up llttl<* bouquets for the school children. You should see how they love them. Some days 1 have a dozen clamoring In the road under the arbor." Ward was charmed. He had a quick vision of Elinor, eyes dancing and soft hair blowing, bending out of her arbor window and dropping her quaint sweet Williams and marguerites, mignonette and garden roses, down to the children. She led the way to the terrace, where Henrlette was setting the tea-table. "Nevertheless," Ward said suddenly, "I am not at all sure I like your living here alone. It doesn't seem safe." "Safer "Perhaps I am unwise to alarm you. But this outrage at the country club—" "Ah!" said Elinor, and bent toward him. "There is no longer any question that a band of desperadoes Is terrorizing the county; an organized band of considerable intelligence. They get their information from the Inside. This last outrage shows It. No one Is safe." "And this country club affair?" asked Elinor, watching Ward Intently. Things become the gang and It pretty begins at though Elinor wou public disgrace. hot for to Id look face (TO B E CONTINUED.) The Battlefield.

W. N. U., DETROIT, NO. 39-1917. TWO VARIETIES OF HEROES One Who Admits He U of Make-Be- Heve Class, Tells of Life in the Trenches. There are real heroes and make-believe heroes; and they are not always easily distinguishable. I do not hide from myself that I belong to the make believes. And yet, It is remarkable that I did not find the second week at the front as terrible as the first. It Is not as bad there as it seems, says a writer in the Atlantic. When once you get accustomed to the Idea that you may be dead ID a day, or in an hour, or In & minute, and when you are clear as to your future, your mood is relieved from constant depression. Involuntarily you become kind and helpful to those ebout you, you do not get vexed over trifles, you are ready to make all sorts of sacrifices. Of course. If, in the midst of such a condition, a grenade suddenly drops Into your trench, if you see three or four of your comrades getting killed, your misery returns, no matter how good an outward appearance you may keep up. At least for a while. But then again the thought comes that getting wounded means rest and safety, and good core. And death? that is still less terrible.

WINDOW AND VERANDA BOXES By EBEN E. REXFORD. Where vines are lacking a most excellent substitute for them about the veranda Is furnished by plants grown in boxes made to fit the spaces between the posts. These boxes the boys of the family will be delighted to make, if they are like most boys I know, if you will furnish thera good tools to make them with. They should be at least a foot wide and a foot deep and the timber of which they are made should be of fairly good quality, for It will have to resist considerable pressure when the box is filled with the soil. These boxes will be found most satisfactory If allowed to project outside the veranda rail. They should be well supported by braces running from the bottom of the box on the outside to the veranda floor. Paint them some neutral color before filling them with soil. If ordinary soil Is used you will have only an ordinary development of the plants you set out to grow In It, while what vou want is vigorous growth. Therefore, send the children out with shovels and baskets and Instruct them to gather the rotten vegetable matter to be found In old fence corners and about stumps and logs. No matter how full of roots It is, the nutriment you are In search of Is there, and a few roots more or less will not Interfere with the plants you propose to grow In It. On the contrary they will prove of positive benefit as they will help to keep the soil light and porous. Before filling the boxes with soil, bore a few holes In the bottom of them to allow for the escape of surplus water. In all probability there will be no surplus water to escape, but It Is well to be on the safe side. When you put the soil Into the boxes press It down firmly. If dumped In lightly evaporation will be rapid and the roots of your plants may suffer in consequence. At the outside of the box set vines of quick development, like German Ivy tradescontla, moneywort, or the madeira vines. These will soon hide the box completely and after a little they will form a screen for all that portion of the veranda below the rail. Morning glories can be planted here and there along the box and trained upon strings and made to furnish shade for the veranda as well as a screen. Other flowering plants can be selected to suit individual taste. Almost any plant can be*sed with reasonable chance of success if care is taken to see that the soil in the box is always kept moist. This Is the secret of the success of the culture of plants In window and veranda boxes. Do not be satisfied with a quantity of water that will wet the surface of the soil and leaves that portion of it two or three inches below almost as dry as before any was applied. Use It by the pailful and make sure that the soil In the box is moist. Here is where most persons fail In box gardening. They use a pint where a pailful is needed. They overlook the fact that because of their elevated position these boxes part rapidly with moisture by evaporation. Being exposed to iiot air and wind on every side they are likely to become dry In a very short time, and the only way to prevent this Is to make it a rule to apply water In liberal quantities every day. Do this and you have no trouble in growing good plants in them. Neglect to do this and you will meet with the failure you deserve. While the ordinary window box affords a great deal of pleasure by the flowers It furnishes at the window sill, It furnishes no shade for the window. Most delightful awnings can be made with very little trouble by nailing strips of lath together in a square-and fastening them to the top of the window, letting them slant downward In front on the angle of the ordinary cloth awning. Support them by braces running from window frame to their outside edge. Cover them with coarse wire netting. Plant quick-growing vines at the ends of the window boxes, and train these up the strings until they cau take hold of the netting that covers the framework of the awning. In a short time you will have all the shade you need and your window will be as attractive to the eye, from outside, as it is pleasant to the occupant of the room. The good old nasturtium makes an excellent veranda box plant, because it will droop If allowed to, and will at the same time, cover the surface of the box with Its pleasing foliage and richly colored flower. The petunia is another most excellent plant for this purpose, because of its combination habit of upright and drooping growth and its profuse flowering. Candytuft, lobelia, and sweet alyssum are all free-flowering plants of decided drooping habit, and cad be made very effective as an edging of these boxes. The children will take great delight in growing plants from seed and should be given boxes of their own In which to conduct their experiments. TIMELY NOTES ON BEAUTY SPOTS If your lawn is larger than you can care for properly, plan to have it of suitable size next year, by filling tn with thrifty, hardy growers that will take care of themselves. Don't neglect to drop a few seeds of perennials In the bare places this month for bloomers next year. Seedlings cost but little money, while plants are expensive. Many beautiful things can be raised from a package of mixed seeds of perennials. Now is a good time to plan changes In the border and the flower garden, as one can see the mistakes in planting *he tall growers In front of the low ones; in grouping ill-matched plants and mixing Inharmonious colors. Keep a note book and pencil in hand. In arranging the home lot, whether for fruit shade or ornament, plant the tallest growers well to the rear, grading down to the lowest or creeping things, letting the rows run east to west, that all may have the sunshine. They can thus be seen to the best advantage, and prove a Joy to the" beholder. Pansiea in a Diss) af 5 •> Michigan News Tersely Told Charlotte.—J. B.

I just can't tell you how much I did suffer. I couldn't get any rest at nights on account of the pain and would get out of bed in the mornings so tired and worn-out it was all I could do to drag myself back to work.

"After trying nearly everything and getting no better I was just about ready to give up trying any more. T h a t is just the shape I had gotten into when I read about this Tanlac.

T h e theory is t h a t Mong fainted because of the high altitude, fell across the controls, and prevented t h e machine from righting itself. Although there have been several accidents and falls at Selfridge field since the aviation school was opened in July, this is the" first fatality. Mong was making his third flight of the morning. W h e n the accident occured his machine was making what is known as a "tail spin," a straight dive for the ground from a high altitude with the tail of the machine whirling around. Suddenly the machine turned turtle, made t w o complete turns, and, upside down, slid off at a t a n g e n t toward the ground. Recently Mong passed the necessary tests for reserve military airmen, and was in line for a lieutenancy. W h e n the fatal flght was being made, he was doing advanced or " s t u n t " flying. He was regarded a t the g o v e r n m e n t school as one of the most proficient flyers. T h e machine fell across t h e river from the military reservation.

HEN BOARD Washington.—The traditional sword yill not clank a t the heels of American army officers in France. This is the first time in American history the officer's sword h a s been abandoned in battle. The French and British armies banned swords for their officers during t h e first year of the war. The American army now follows suit by official order of the war department. The reason U simple and sufficient j During the first year of the war French*! and British officers wsye easily distln- j gulshable from their men by their: awords, uniforms and insignia and the j boche sharpshooters concentrated their ; fire on them with deadly effect. The Idea ever since has been to make commanding officers look"as much like enlisted men as possible. Couldn't Tell Haig From Private. If you met General Haig, commander in chief of the British field forces, at the front in France, you couldn't tell him from a private until you got close enough to shake hands with him. The insignia of French, British and American officers on the western front now cannot be seen farther away than the whites of their eyes can. They 'wear the same uniforms and carry the same arms as the enlisted men of their commands. The war department has employed experts to devise cloth colors and b u t ton and Insignia material to make twe troops as nearly invisible as possible, The buttons on the army field service uniform are dark bronze. The insignia on an officer's coat are small bronze, dull silver or gold devices which cannot*e seen across the street, The only difference between the Insignia on the collar of an officer and on that of an enlisted man is that the enlisted man's letters are on a disk, while an officer's are In a straight line ' and separated.

There are numbers of people who are what is called "carriers" of disease— i. e., they have always the germs of typhoid, diphtheria, infantile paralysis or other communicable diseases in their systems in such numbers that they cause infection in people around them. They are not themselves sick, and they generally do not themselves know of the peculiar condition in' which they" are, but they do carry the infection to persons around them, and they are therefore a veritable menace to the health and life of the community. Since these cases are curable under proper treatment, it is only fair that the community demand them to secure such treatment—Exchange. Out of the Way. Colonel Hal Corbett, formerly of Kentucky, but now practicing lawT in New York, went to an athletic tourney over on Long Island last spring. One of the contestants showed tremendous speed and agility, notwithstanding the fact that he was a one legged man. "I wonder how that young chap lost his leg?" said a friend to Corbett.

Not Such a Fool! There la an amusing little story about Sir Eric Geddes as a boy which shows the new first lord of the admiralty possessed of resourcefulness at an early age. He was somewhere about ten when, on being given $2.50 by his father as pocket money, he forthwith went and spent it all on a second or third hand bone-shaker. This earned him a severe reprimand from his parent for reckless extravagance, but the culprit rose to the occasion. Going out the next day he returned, having sold the bone-shaker for $10. IT NEVER FAILS TO END MISERY OF PILES "Hundreds of people in this vicinity," •ays Peterson, "know of the mighty heailn* power of PETERSON'S OINTMENT in ecrema, salt rheum, old sores, Itching skin and ulcers. They know It cures these ailments—that it is guaranteed to cure them." Now I want to say to every sufferer from piles, either blind, bleeding or itching, that I will guarantee that a 26-cent box of PETERSON'S OINTMENT will rid you of piles or your druggist Vtll return your money. "For years I suffered terribly with itching and bleeding piles. I tried everything and despaired of ever getting rid of them.

For Safety's Sake. Two brothers who live in im East Lancashire manufacturing town were noted for being exceptionally wellserved with nasal organs. One of the ring spinners at the mill where they worked invited them to a wedding, and promised to send a cab for them, says London Tit-Bits. The cab duly arrived, and the two brothers entered and planted themselves down, one at each window. In order to create an impression during the drive to the wedding, the two brothers were looking out of the cab, one on either side, so that the people, could see them. All went well until the cab came to a rather narrow railway arch, which our travelers had to pass through. The cabman looked back to take his bearings, and seeing the two brothers' noses sticking out of the windows on either side, shouted : "Put them elbows In, please I" Swiftly Changing.

THE TULIP IN POTS. Some varieties of tulips are well adapted to the flower pot. The Cluslana vent grows to a height of 20 inches, with a slender stem. The leaves are very long and narrow and the flower sometimes measures two inches across. This variety Is of the funnel form, with bright lemon-yellow flowers, with light shading of green or white, sometimes streaked with pink. It is very fragrant, and when properly cultivated Is one of the most beautiful of all the tulip family. The tulip is easy to cultivate, as It thrives well In either heavy or light soil. It does better, however, in rather light soil, well-drained and fairly rich. Those grown in heavy, black soil produce smaller flowers, and the colors are not nearly so bright. In some of the uplands of Virginia the Ideal tulip soil is found for the growing of bulbs, and It is said to be almost Identical with that of Holland, where this flower is so successfully grown. THE CARE OF YOUR PLANTS By L. M. BENNINGTON. Some persons labor under the delusion that water must be applied daily to their plants In the window garden. More plants are killed every year through this process than by any other means. Plants watered every day are literally drowned out, unless they happen to have the best of drainage. Others go on the "llttle-and-often" plan—that Is, they apply water In small quantities whenever they happen to fhlnk of I t The result Is the surface of the soil is kept moist, and from this the owner takes it for granted that the soil beneath must be properly damp. Nine times out of ten examination will show that an Inch or two below the surface the soil to dry. Of course the roots of the plant cannot do their work under such conditions. The plant soon sickens and eventually dies and the owner wonders what caused the trouble. Now, In watering plants several things have to be considered. First the nature of the plant Some like a great deal of water, others only a moderate amount Second, the soil. A close, loamy soil dries out slowly, therefore It will not require as frequent or as large applications as a light poroui soil from which moisture evaporates rspMly. Third, location and exposures most be taken into consideration. Plants (n the sun or a very warm place, will need a good deal more water then those in full or partial shade or a low temperature. Fourth, the site of the pot must be reckoned with. The soil In a large pot will not dry out for two or three days, but the soil In a small pot will become quite dry every day. Little moisture needed. Fifth, a dormant plant requires but little water. It Is not in a condition to make use of much water, and an oversupply of it will surely result in harm. When the plant begins to grow then Increase the quantity and proportion this to the development made. All these things must receive due consideration by the amateur who would know how to care for his or her plants intelligently. Study them. Experiment with them. In this way you soon become familiar with the individuality of each one and you will be able to give to each the care it needs. We are often asked for some rules for watering plants. It is impossible to make any rule that can be followed strictly. The only rule I have ever been able to give Is this: "When the surface of the soil looks dry, water. Use enough to thoroughly saturate all the soil in the pot You can tell about this by the escape of some at the bottom of the pot Then wait until the dry look appears on the surface again and apply water as before. But as I have said, one will have to modify this rule to fit the conditions. It is a general rule, subject to such change as may appear necessary to the intelligent plant grower who does not believe in treating all ber plants exactly alike. Give fertilizers to growing plants only. A plant standing still needs none, and will be injured by the applications of the food it is not in a condition to make use of. PUNT JAPANESE LILY IN FALL While almost all lilies do better If planted in the fall, there are some varieties, notably the Japanese, which do not reach this country until the ground Is frozen. However, they can be planted even In December if you prepare the bed as follows: Dig the bed deep (two feet) and manure heavily, nslng well rotted manure, and mix thoroughly. When the bed is ready, cover it with a foot or two of fresh manure. This will keep the ground from freezing. Lily bulbs deteriorate when kept out of the soil Unless the chrysanthemum havo been shaded during the hot months they win not come up to expectations this fan. «1V As beneficial as it is enjoyable— to other words* doubly beneficial; that's why WRIGLEYS Is popular the world over.

HIS OLD DREAM CAME TRUE Miner Was Killed in the Manner That Was Foretold In Vision Twenty Years Before. In a lecture at Blackwood Rev. M. Griffin of Cross Oak, a minister who, after forty years' preaching, Is as vigorous as ever, referred to subconsciousness, the mysterious power that controls us even when asleep, says a Cardiff Mall writer. Outside the chapel one of his hearers narrated a curious incident which happened to a Blackwood man. He lived near the present railway station, and draamed one night that while working on his stall as a miner a stone fell on him and killed him. The dream was so vivid that he gave up his work at once and emigrated to America. Twenty years later he returned to Blackwood and sought work In his old colliery. He was told that no one had been working in his old stall since he had left, and work was found for him in the adjoining stall. While engaged there his pick accidentally struck through the coal which divided him from his old stall, there came a fall and the twenty-year-old dream was fulfilled. The Plain Truth.

"After I had suffered for two whole years with a serious stomach trouble and was told that only on operation would relieve me," he continued, "I grew so despondent over my hopeless suffering that I was Just about to give up my job. I had gotten to the place where I couldn't eat a thing but oatmeal and sweet milk and even then the pains in my stomach and through the small of my back kept me In misery nearly all the time. I couldn't sleep at night and grew weaker and weaker until I didn't think I'd ever get any better. "It's no wonder that I praise Tanlac now and am telling all my friends about It. After taking It a day or two I found that I could eat most anything I ever could, and from that time on I have improved. Those pains in my back and stomach left me shortly and I began to pick up. I have actually gained forty pounds in weight since I started taking Tanlac and I feel better than I have in twenty-five years.

WILL RELIEVE UNCERTAINTY 'Vlany W i l l Welcome Tests So That Uncertainty of Physical Fitness Will Be Ended. Lansing -Judging from the official telegrams and regulations which are now coming from the office of ProvoBt Marshal General Crowder, the government is going to continue thy physical examination of all men who registered June 5. To this end the present system of local boards will no doubt be continued Indefinitely. With the selection of this week's quota and that for Oct. 3, the work of the local boards for the first call will have been completed. The government estimates that this work will exhaust practically 3,000,000 names of registrants. This will leave 7,000,000 to be handled if there is need of a second call from the president. That a second call will come is certain, but the indications are that It will be several months before it does. In the meantime, it is now the intention of the government to have the local boards leisurely examine the remelning men, with a view to having their eligibility Hats ready for a second call when it comes. In many respects, too, it will relieve the minds of thousands of men, who, without completion of the list of registrants, would not know "where they are at." They catnot enter any business with a reasonable security from draft, but if they should be examined and found physically unfit, they can be assured of no trouble hereafter. The government, too, as Indicated in word received here, is not unmindful of the hard work that has already been done by the local boards. Many of the members of these boards have neglected their business for weeks. and a continuation of auch force employment by the government might work a great hardship. In the examination, however, beyond the quota limit as needed now, the boards will be told to take their time, either devoting only a couple of hours a day to the work, or else one or two days a week. In this way the work could be expeditiously done and at the same time neither the boards nor the registrants subjected to any great inconvenience. 14,400 GO TO CAMP THIS WEEK Shipments Divided Over 5 Days and Can Be More Easily Handled. Battle Creek—Approximately 14,400 young men of Michigan and Wisconsin started going "over the top" Wednesday into Camp Custer. A war department suggestion has been sent out that selected men come to Camp Custer with a bundle containing toilet accessories, a suit of unv derclothing, etc., but no baggage. Those who've been through the mill don't agree to the wisdom of this program. They say to bring an old suitcase with as much comforts as can be conveniently carried, but with the understanding, of course that when uniforms are issued the extra clothing can be sent home in the suitcase. Fortunately not all the 14,400 men will report in one day, as had been planned originally. Wednesday brought 4,195, Thursday 1,851, Friday 3,260, Saturday 2,037 and Sunday 766. The Sunday delegation is an exclusive Detroit shipment. For several weeks Camp Custer will hold little of frivolty for the selects and mothers at home need not sing "Where is My Wandering Boy Tonight?" with any morbid notion that he's hanging around a den of iniquity. The only wandering he will do will be toward his bunk, when tattoo sounds at 9 o'clock, and when the bugle blows at 9:15 chances are he will be asleep. SENATE PASSES BIG BOND BILL O.

CUSTER FORMALLY OPENED OCTOBER 23 R E L A T I V E * OF D R A F T E D M E N TO BE ENTERTAINED AT CANTONMENT. GOVERNOR AND STAFF INVITED v ,»— -. —... Expected That Michigan Delegation in Congress and Wisconsin Governor Will Be Present. Lansing. Camp Custer will be thrown open formally to the relatives of the national unuy men at the cantonment and to the officials of Michigan and Wisconsin October 23. The Battle Creek Chamber of Commerce, working in conjunction with Major-General J. T. Dickinau, commandant of the camp, will prepare to t-utertain relatives of the men at camp, Governor Sleeper and his staff, the Michigan delegation in congress and the governor of Wisconsin and hia staff and the Wisconsin congressmen have been invited. Soldiers to Come Home Healthy. America will attempt to bring back her soldiers as healthy and wholesome us when they left their homes. Frederick H. Holt ot Detroit told the Camp Custer boys this at the first geueral meecihg held at the camp under auspices of the war reqreatlon commission. Mr. Holt spoke from a wide experience and a familiarity with the subject gained by first hand associations with conditions in Europe. Mr. Holt told briefly of the dangers of soldier life, declaring that one-third of the losses of the countries now at war were caused by social diseases contracted by the soldiers while in training camps. And he told of the effort this country is making now to avoid this evil. "Wherever you go, don't forget that besides being soldiers you are also citizens in the great republic and so conduct yourself that you will come back to your mothers and sisters with as fine a manhood a swhen you entered the army." Small Per Centage Rejected. I^ess than 4 per cent of the men from Michigan and Wisconsin sent to Camp Custer on the first draft are in danger of being rejected. The result of the rigid examinations has delighted the division surgeons, who had expected to lose 10 per cent of the men in the final culling. Michigan sent 1,600 men to Camp Custer in the first increment, and only 52 men haye been rejected. Bad teeth seems to have knocked out most of the half hundred—teeth so bad that dental work could not bring them up to the regular army requirement of at least .two teeth on upper and lower jaws that come in contact to permit the grinding of food. Ear trouble is next in eliminating men. Colonel C. K. Bartlett is positive the men's ears went wrong before they left home or Road Construction Lags. Camp officials are urging the construction of the concrete highway between Battle Creek and the camp be rushed. While this work is now going on, the camp authorities complain that at the present rate of building the work cannot be finished before spring. They point with pride to the progress inside the camp where three miles of similar highway Is open to traffic after thrjse weeks' work. The Battle Creek highway to the reservation is to be used for practically all of the heavy traffic and meanwhile other roads are being cut up so badly that ordinary motor cars make the trip with difficulty. Lots of Good Seed Grain in State. A review by the Michigan Agricultural college of the pedigreed grain situation in the state has disclosed a fine condition of preparedness among farmers for the food campaign in 1918.

ITALIANS SEIZE MOUNTAIN CREST C A P T U R E P O S I T I O N S ON M O N T E SAN G A 8 R I E L E A F T E R T H R E E W E E K S ' B I T T E R F I G H T . THROWN BACK SEVERAL TIMES Austrlans Resist Desperately and Still Cling to Several Positions On Mountain Top. Washington—The crest of Monte San Gabrlele, commanding the plain of Goriala to the south and southeast and the Frigido valley to the east, has been captured by the Italians after three weeks of the most bitter fighting, the Italian embassy at Washington announces. This news of the victory, probably the greatest feat of the Italian arms thus far in the war, precedes the latest official report from Rome. The Italian effort to- capture San Gabriele began after the taking of Monte Santo, directly north, by General Cadorna's troops August 25. Several times the Italians had reached the summit of the great mountain, so important to their further progress east of Goritzia as well as on the Carso, only to be beaten back again. On the slopes of the rugged rock in the last few weeks has occurred some of the heaviest and most sanguinary fighting of the war, with the Italians hurling themselves forward in desperate attacks and the Austrians holding to the crest as desperately. San Gabriele's top was occupied by the Italians, the embassy reports, after the fortified hill or saddle of Dol and the Garagaro basin, the main bulk of San Gabriele, had been taken. The Austrians, however, still cling to some positions on the mountain. In the forest of Tarnovo, east of Monte San Gabriele, the Italians captured positions from the Austriar.s, after suffering heavy losses. ROBBERS MAKE $9,000 HAUL Bandits Blow Safe at Climax Bank Making Rich Strike. Battle Creek—Six automobile bandits drove into the little town of Climax, 12 miles south of Battle Creek, in Kalamazoo county, early Saturday morning, cut all wires, held up the villagers and blowing open the safe at the Climax State bank, escaped with $9,000. The crime is one of the boldest ever perpetrated In this district. It took four charges of explosives and an hour's time to accomplish the work. It is believed the men escaped by way of Athens. The robbery was qarefully planned. The gang came in two automobiles, and about a mile out of town camped out and had a late supper. Just after midnight they entered the town, cut both the Bell and Independent telephone lines, and all the Grand Trunk telegraph wires. The operator, hearing them at work, put out his lights, and later flagged all trains. Several passenger and freight trains were soon tied up there. Ten years ago the bank was entered by the same window that they thieves used this time. At that time they secured nothing. Of the money taken, $2,500 was in gold, and the rest in paper A pile of ' silver dollars was left on the floor of : the safe and paper money was scattered about the floor of the bank. U. S.

PERFECT NEW LIBERTY MOTOR Bids Fair to Revolutionize Aerenautfca On Account Lightness and Power —210 MMes Speed Attained. Washington—With the perfection of the Liberty motor for airplanes, offt('/il announcement of which is made by Secretary Baker, the work of carrying out the mammoth air program, of thjs government is being.pushed with the idea of having 22,000 planes ready for use before spring. This airfieet which is expected to "put out the eyes of Germany" and turn the tide of the war for the allies, is in course of construction, and tt rs learned that the present board of the council of the national defense, can Bee no obstacle to its successful con summation by spring. From unofficial but reliable -sources, it is learned that the Liberty motor bids fair to revolutionize aeronautics and that the statement concerning it issued by Secretary Baker was most conservative. With the motor standardization manufacture in large quantities can proceed with speed. Power and minimum weight are the qualities which are expected to make it superior to any foreign motor. The engineers have reduced the weight to one and three-quarters pounds per horsepower, which means that a 250-horsepower motor will weigh less than 600 pounds. Details are held back, but it is learned that already American planes, equipped with the Liberty motor have reached a maximum speed of 210 miles an hour. By multiplying the motors used this speed can be increased indefinitely and the carrying power of the plane can be Increased accordingly. Two, three and even more motors may be used in the big battle planes. KAISER FAVORS POPE'S PEACE Dispatch Says Teuton Reply Accords With Vatican's Propoaal. THIRTY-SECOND IN TEXAS CAMP Long Step to France Taken By 1,800 Michigan Boys. Grayling —Taking a long step toward France and the trenches, 1,800 Michigan boys in the Thirty-second infaetry regiment and field hospital No. 1, left Grayling Sunday for Camp McArthur Waco, Tex. "And we won't come back till it's over—over there," the band kept insisting. The boys are carrying south a different spirit than they carried last year, when they went down to curb the unruly Mexicans. The sentiment of the band, "We won't come back till it's over—over there," seemed to be written on every face. A magnificent tricolor of France was presented Sunday to the Thirtyfirst by Dr. Victory M. Seymour. He Instructed the boys from Detroit to present the colors to France when they arrived there. Washington—The United State fuel administration will requisition enough | bituminous coal to supply the domest i c consumer. Dr. Harry A. Garfield, fuel administrator, said it probably would be necessary to take over 25 per cent of the output of the mines to supply the spot demand for domestic consumption. , In many cases it will be necessary for the coal operators to abrogate contracts when the government requisitioning orders go Into effect this will be done by government order for the benefit of the domestic consumer at a i sacrifice to the larger consumer. Dr. Garfield added that retail prices ! for coal would be fixed by October 11. j Each state fuel administrator will i s u l n i t an estimate of the amount of coal needed in his territory to keep factories going and horues warm. The ; coal will then be requistioned and apportioned accordingly. After the domestic consumer has i been provided for, transportation syst e m s , manufacturing industries and i public utilities will then be considered. Amsterdam—The reply of the Central powers to the peace note of Pope Benedict, says a Vienna dispatch to the Tijd, begins by declaring that they | regard the.Papal proposals as a suitaj ble basis for peace negotiations. j Regarding the exchange of occupied ' territory, arbitration, disarmament and similar proposals, declarations are made, the dispatch adds, which testify to the idealism of the Central powers and their sincere desire for a peace that will insure happiness to all nations. Conciliatory declarations also are made respecting the settlement of the Balkan question, Poland and the restoration of Belgium, but emphasis la laid on the condition that the Allied powers must also give serious evidence of"a desire for peace by a joimt and benevolent discussion of the questions which now separate the nations. The reply, it Is said, will be published as soon as the consent of the papal nuncio at Vienna is obtained.

Synopsis—For years old Hilary Kingston lived with his daughter, Elinor, in a beautiful home on a hill in the suburban village of Woffingham. The neighbors knew nothing about the establishment, except that the father was quite wealthy, and the daughter very good looking and gentle. In reality Kingston was head of an anarchist band, composed of Huff, Boroday, Talbot and Lethbridge, that robbed the rich and gave to the poor and oppressed. One day Old Hilary was shot dead, and the course of life changed abruptly for his daughter. The Rev. Mr. Ward, a yoang bachelor, began to take un uncommon Interest in Elinor. CHAPTER III—Continued. Ward had risen. He towered far above Elinor. Because of his heavy shoulders, he never looked his full height. Boroday, in the corridor, stole n moment from his anxieties to find the young clergyman every inch of a man, and to throw him the grudging admiration of defeated middle-age for youth and vibrant life. T h e n I shall not send for the rect o r r "Please, no." "Is there anything at all that I can d o r "Do the—the police know about this?" "Surely. I suppose you have been told what happened." "They will tell me nothing." There was a car coming up the hill. That wonld be it. Boroday eased his acting arm. He did not dare a sling, but the hand was thrust In the pocket of his coat. If only the hemorrhage did not start again! He braced himself and watched. "It was a robbery, you know that?" said Ward, in the library. He picked his words carefully. "As I got the story, a taxicab on its way to the bank was held up near the Record office. Your father had stepped to the curb to hail the taxi, and—it happened then, a—a stray bullet from one of the bandits' guns." Boroday, eyes on the car, heard the statement, and, with the chief coming up the steps from the road to the gardes, took the time to repudiate i t •Tardon!" he said. "It was not a weapon In the hands of the bandits. It was the revolver of the bank messenger." Ward turned In surprise. Boroday's eyes were fixed on Elinor's, with reassurance in their depths. The assistant rector was not subtle, but he had a curious feeling of something behind all this. He was uncomfortable. . "I trust," he said earnestly, "that these ^871008 outrages will be at an end now. Surely the police—" "Possibly." The anarchist's gaze wondered to the garden, where even then the ehlef was making his way toward the house. "Of coarse, these bandits are trained men of unusual lsteJttgene*. If the police were of Intelligence to cope with them—" T e a r T h e y would not be on the force, at meager salaries and petty graft They would be"—he shrugged his shoulders —t»andtts themselves, very possibly." Ward left after that—left with an uncomfortable feeling of having got nowhere. He was convinced of one ttriasj. death, which for him was an open gateway, was for this girl a dated aad fastened door.

Nothing eould have bean more •nspfeftouo, could hare set bis stage better for hie little drama, than the presence of the young clergyman. The whole scene gained tone, decorum. The chiefs visit was short. They had followed the bandits' cur and lost It, und finding himself in the neighborhood— "Be assured," he said to Elinor, in his best manner, "that we'll not rest until tills thing la cleared up. The community"—he cleared his throat— "the community will not lose one of itB best citizens without a violent protest." With the coroner he went up the stairs and into old Hilary's room. The chief glanced about while the haxty examination was being made. "Nice room," lie said. "But a Jolly lot of good it does the old gentleman now I Nice little girl downstairs, too. I've seen that chap in the hal) iumewhere." The coroner drew the sheet over old Hilary's peaceful face. "The preacher? They all look alike. It's the vest and the collar." "The other man, with the accent. German, I take it, or—Russian." Boroday was waiting for them at the foot of the staircase. In the library was a tray, with drinks and sandwiches. The shades had been lowered. The chief ate and drank. And as often as he raised his glass he looked at the Russian over it. At last: "Haven't we met somewhere, Mr. "Boroday. I rather think not." "You remind me of someone—I'll place you, or the person you resemble, pretty soon. I have a slow mind. It's like an Airedale dog; it's a long time getting started, but when It begins it hangs on like the devil." The drinks were cold, and the house cool. The prospect of starting out in the heat and dust did not allure the two men. Sitting there at his ease, the chief ran over the points of the outrage. "In several ways," he observed comfortably, the affair resembles one that happened in St. Louis several years ago. There's the same quality of audacity— and there are other things." Quite suddenly a light came Into his eyes. "Ah !" he said, bending forward toward Boroday. "I told you I'd get It. It was in St. Louis I saw you !" Their glances clashed, the chiefs intent, the Russian's cool, amused. "The dog," said Boroday, "holds on well, but—to the wrong throat." "You have never been in St. Louis?" "Never." C H A P T E R IV. Elinor lived alone after the funeral. Henriette, who had now a chance to "You Have Never Been in St Louis?" practice her favorite vice of thrift was for sending away the other servants. MI can manage," she said. "For all you eat " But Elinor protested. "I shall want to keep up the Saturday dinners. Let things stay as they are for a time," It had been old Hilary's custom to have such members of the band as were available dine with him of a Saturday. Henriette raised her hands. Things are changed," she cried. "You are alone here now. To have those four men—" "That Is better than having one man, Henriette." So Elinor had her way. The Saturday dinners were resumed early In September, Boroday coming with Infinite caution from his cheap boarding house in the South side, Talbot and Lethbridge from the bachelor apartment they rented together. Walter Huff was late. 1 had to be cartful," he told Boroday, aside. They've got wind of something, 1 don't know what My room waa eearcbed today." Boroday swore through his beard* T h e n why did yon come h e r e r ae demanded. Young Huff laughed, glanced at Elinor, and back impudently at the Russian. "You know why I came," he said, in high good humor. "But I was carefuL It's all right." Old Hilary's chair had been placed by Elinor's order. She had borne up well the lust month, waa rather more slender, certainly more appealing. The quality of wistfulness was more apparent thun ever around her mouth. Hud, sitting across, hurdly took his eyes from her. He was young, and women hud hud no place until now in his active, unscrupulous life. But Elinor held him in the palm of her small hand. They missed old Hilary, his saturnine humor, his beetling gray brows. And inaction was telling on them. They were growing restive. Boroday, advising caution in view of what he knew, felt the disaffection among the younger men. It was Lethbridge, who, waiting until the servants had withdrawn, rose and glanced around the table. "It seems to me," he began, "that we have a lot to decide tonight. I've been thinking about it ever since—for some time. The first thing, of course, is whether we are going to hang together or not." Talbot had rather a weird sense of humor. He suggested that the word "hang" be changed to "remain." "We've been doing well. We'll do all right again, too, as soon as this thing Dlows over. It was unlucky, but we've been pretty fortunate. Now we can do one of two things. For Elinor's sake, I suggest the first." "And that Is—" Minor's voice was unsteady. "Send Boroday to Paris to dispose of your jewels. Then get a conservative lawyer to Invest the money." "And after that?" "Forget you ever knew any of us." Huff, across the table from her, went white, but said nothing. "You said there was an alternative?" Elinor was white, too. The room was profoundly still. "To keep on as we are at present, with you, Elinor, acting in your father's stead, receiving and transmitting messages, and—keeping the vault In charge." Boroday was on his feet in a moment protesting. He would take the Jewels and send them abroad, It was risky, but it could be done. But this outrageous arrangement that had been suggested— "What we are, we are by choice," he finished. "You have never had a choice, and now it is given to you. For God's sake, child, go away now, while you may." Elinor's reply, when it came, was unanswerable. "Where could I go? I know in all the world only you four, and old Henriette, and a governess of mine who has gone into a convent in France. 1 shall stay here with you all." So it was settled. That was an eventful evening, with Elinor, misty-eyed, moving into her father's chair at the table, and the band swearing the simple oath of allegiance which held them together. And when they had moved from the dining room. Walter Huff, following Elinor out onto the terrace, told her he loved her. The starlight above, and those nearer stars that outlined the streets below, threw a soft radiance over her. She was dressed in white; old Hilary had disliked mourning garments. Elinor was looking down into the village. The great spire of Saint Jude's towered above the town. Huff, young and ardent, thrilled to the girl's presence close beside him. "You are very aloof tonight," he said. She smiled up at him. "Not that surely. I was only thinking." "Of what?" "Oh, of different things—of the people down there in their houses—their lives, the things they believe; we think they are narrow, but I wonder, after all. If yon and I, who believe none of those things, are not the narrow ones." Huff was not subtle. Possibly he would not have understood, had not the Saint Jude's chimes rung just then. "Symbols like that seem to mean so much to them." said Elinor, and feil silent In the warm silence, Huff felt for and found her hand. "All this time, when I couldn't see you," he said unsteadily, *Tve been thinking of you here alone, and In trouble. Sometimes I thought I couldn't stand i t that Td have to come out and see you, If only for five minutes." "1 have always been more or less lonely. Sometimes I think If I had been sent away to school, had known other girls, ft would have been better. I have never had any friends—except you, and the others." Buff released her hand and faced her. "I don't want to be your friend. Elinor. I want to be mnch more." She was rather shocked st first. She stood, looking up at him, her lips slightly parted. "It Ton—yon—want—" "I lore yon, I want yon to marry me, dear." There was no doubt of the boy's sincerity. It rang true. He stood with his arm* out and after t moment ana went Into them.

Strange as i-t may seem there is nothing In the world that will spoil a dead fish so quickly as water. If your fishing conditions are such as to prevent your keeping your catch alive, by all means kill each one as qulck)y as caught, and having done so dry It and keep it dry. Remember that a fish strung through the gills and thrown overside Is doomed to a speedy death by suffocation. If you must string them use one of the patent stringers that holds through the Jaw and gives the fish a fighting chance for life. If, however, you can neither treat your catch in this way nor turn them loose in a tank, kill them Instantly, wipe them quite dry and keep them sheltered from the sun. Fish should not be packed so that they come in direct contact with ice; place a sheet of nonabsorbent paper between. Avoid damp moss or seaweed in your creel, Outcast Among Birds. There Is one bird which will not take advantage of bird houses, This is the American cowblrd, which Is something of an outcast among the feathered tribe. This bird never has a nest of its own, even of the most humble character, and she studiously shuns all the worries of parenthood by depositing her eggs in the convenient nest of any other bird. There they are hatched along with the natural owners of the bird home, and demand In many cases the lion's share of attention, as they are large, strong birds, and frequently outgrow the foster mother not only in size, but in her ability to feed her overgrown fledgelings, and It is no uncommon sight to see a wenrv and bedraggled song sparrow in June striving desperately to assuage the hunger calls of her. unruly child by forced adoption.

CLARK. Washington. — When the training ips for the men of the new National jarmy*are pitched and the young Americans march in to begin their military studies, every one of them can know [that the officers who are in command, particularly those of the highest ranks, »180 are Just entering school to learn lessons. ! It may not be that the officers of the service who are to rule over the !new camps either as major generals or (brigadier generals have full realization that such is the ca*se, but t h e fact is that In a large sense these officers .themselves are entering into camps where, like the young civilians who Joined the officers' reserve camps* they must either make good or get o u t ; There are many general officers ap- .pointed to high rank recently who must .center their bodily and mental efforts jon the work ahead. With the officers (of regulars who have been appointed [there are t h e brigadier generals of the •National Guard and the two major generals of the same organization who also must make good or step down and jimt before the times comes to go to Stance. ' The reasons for this ought to be app a r e n t The United States has entered upon a war which Is to be carjried on after new military methods, Few of.the men, if any, who now hold major general rack ever have bad an opportunity so mcsch- as to see a dkrtsion of troops In the field, let alone opportunity to command a division. Mutt Make Good. " The work; which these major generals and brigadier generals of regulars and of National Guardsmen do in the training camps will decide whether or not they are to be allowed to continue their work in command of large bodies o | troops on the fighting line in France. It takes only a reading of the list of the names,of the officers recently given general rank in the army to prove that the-1 United States finally has an army in the field none of whose commanding officers received promotion because of political influence. In 1898 when the Spanish war began, men with political pull in some instances were given high commands. The results in a number of cases were disastrous. The general staff of the army, aided by civilian officials of the war department, succeeded in preventing political influence from taking effect in the recent promotions to high army rank. There are yet to be appointed a good many men to field work sen-ice in the new National army, that is to the ranks of colonel and lieutenant colonel and major. It is not believed that political Influence will avail to affect these promotions any more than it availed in the naming of major generals and brigadier generals. The war department has realized, and has said so, that it may have to go outside of the army and the National Guard to secure the services of some officers for comparatively high rank. There will not be enough material In the .service to supply all the field officers needed. It must be remembered that thousands upon thousands of the regular and National Guard officers are very young men, and the majority of them have not had enough experience ' to Justify, from the army point of view, their appointment as first and second in comma'nd of regiments. The war department officials today have in their possession a list of names of only 71 men outside the present service who may be , considered for field officer's rank. Tt is said that there are some few political pets on this list, t h a t is, men who have received the Indorsement of senators or representatives or governors, or someone else high in the service of one political party or another, but i t is pretty well known that even those men who received t h e Indorsement of politicians nave had previous military erperlence ."and have been put on the list, not be- 3canse of their political Indorsements, l>ot In spite, of them. Commission* for Some. " I t Is said that it does not follow a t mil because there are 71 civilians listed « 1 Available for army appointments 'ih$t all of them a r e to be given comififaajnnn " I t Is probable that not more eigkt o r ten of them will be given • { . f e e outset, b»t t h e chances i*re that Inter when we must raise bigger armies more of these auen will be appointed aud that tu rhe> list already in existence other names will be added. An amusing story is being told here of a United States senator who, finding that his influence was not to avail in securing appointments for political friends, cast about him for means of getting some credit for himself out of the appointments that were made without any reference to him. This senator, it is said, wrote to the men Trom hla state who had received commissions and called their attention to the fact that he had not tried to prevent their appointment. The chances are ke did not even know that they were going to be appointed, but he> did his best to secur» the good will, by the only means possible, of the men who had been given preferment without any reference to their friendliness with the political powers of their home states.

A spider after being stung once has generally sufficient strength to hide in a tuft of grass, but his shelter proves only of temporary service, for the pitiless fly soon returns and completes its work by stinting the helpless victim twice in the lower part of the thorax.— Exchange.

The store of Mr. Ingersoll was entered through the cellarway, where $4.00 in cash was-taken and a large quantity of ice cream and soft drinks were don away with. Entrance was made t Murphy & Jackson's store through a window, a pry from Ingersoll's store being used. Here a number of pairs of shoes were taken, and it is thought some cigars. In the Teeple Hdw. store the back window was smashed in and the safe was open and the draws all out on the counter, but as there WFB no money left in the safe, the would-be burglars failed to realize anything from this source at all.

They are marching away, They are marching away, Their faces with courage alight, True Americans, pride of the nation are they— But our homes are in mourning tonight. They have answered the call of their country beloved, Their all on the altar they lay, A sacrifice meet for the land of their b i r t h - Brave boys, they are marching away. They are marching away, They are marching away, Our boys from each fair sheltered home, Whence the prayers daily rise to the Captain of all: "Oh God, keep our bays as they roam.' "Give them aid for the fight with the foe over-seas, Grant them strength lest they faiut by the way; Be the Guide and the Leader tnrough battle's fierce din Of the boys who are marching away." They are marching away, They are marching away, But God leads the hosts of the right, Be the foe strong or weak; 'tis His cause will prevail— And He'll watch by their campfires tonight. Candid Criticism "You make a hot stab at trying to run a newspaper," said Mrs. Keister, as* she picked up the sheet last week to give it the o. o. "Here you got it that Mrs. Leo Larson was down from Gooding and visited at Knolton's and never said a word about hen being over to see her sister, Mrs. Perry Spaulding; you make me tired. And there ain't a word in here about Alex Simmon being home from Detroit, or that Frank Barker of Battle Creek came up to the office to subscribe for the paper so's he could keep track of Bill Reynolds and Bob Kelley—you hadn't otta be running a newspaper, you ought to be back at yow-okl job digging ditches, you—you nonenity you." That's right mother, we replied you're just like a lot of other folks we know. Ask 'em if they've got any news up their sleeves and they can't think of a thing, but let the paper be off the press and they can shoot more holes in it than we could a boche with a macnine gun. What you people want to do is to try using the telephone, your vocabulary or the mails when you've g o t anything you want printed and then if we den't get it in you'll be perfectly justified in getting out your little hammer and knocking ua till the welkin rings with the noise. —Fred Keister, in the Country Editor.

Mobilization Camp, Grayling, Mich. - To the tune of "Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot," coming from a dozen voices, the owners of which dangled their feet from an army truck winding its way toward the railroad •Cation here, headquarters detachment, IS men and two officers, headed by Major Edgar H. Campbell, left camp Saturday for Waco, Tex. First to leave for the southern training grounds, the headquarters men got a rousing sendoff. ThiB was due^partlsJly to the fact that before they left a message was received from the central department ordering the Thirtysecond infantry, the cavalry and the signal corps to prepare to leave also. . Time of departure of the Thirty-second and otheT outfits is censored, but the best guess was that the railroad equipment would be ready about midweek. It is presumed also that the Thirty-first, \ h e Second Michigan Ambulance company and the field hospital will depart from Grayling at the end of the week or the first of the next week. Captain R. J.

Washington—The death knell of the distillery business for the period of the war sounded Saturday night, as the hour of 11 struck. At that moment provisions of the food control act, prohibiting the manufacture of whisky for beverage purposes, became effective. fteports reaching Washiugtou are that most of the COO distilleries of the country will shut down entirely. A few will continue in operation for the manufacture of alcohol for mechanical jtarposes. Distillers Ready to Quit. liig distillers appear ready to quit for all time. The food control act remains in effect only during the war. Afterward, providing national prohibition does not become a reality in the meantime, the distillers may reopen their plants. But it Is doubtful if they will risk new investments in an enterprise that may come under the governmental ban at any moment. It will be up to the brewer* to fight the battle against prohibition alone henceforth. By the time the war is over, it is expected that most of the distilleries will be converted into factories for the manufacture of other products. About 8,te© distillery employes are affected. Large 8upply On Hand. The government loses an annual revenue of more than $150,000,000 by fee banishment of the distilleries. To offset this, it is asserted enough foodstuffs will be diverted annually to other uses to feed 3,000,000 persons. The food control act does not prohibit the sale of whisky, but only the manufacture and importation. A large quantity of whisky i& on hand and unless the government commandeers for use in the manufacture of munitions under authority given by the food control act, it will be a long time before the supply runs out. One estimate is that the stock now on hand will last for two years. The whisky drinking public will be able to appease its thirst for that time although prices will soar as the supply diminishes.

Washington—American troops are to be transported to France just as fast as boats can be supplied to carry them. Brig.-Gen. William Crozier, chief ordnance of the army, Indicated in his testimony before the committee on appropriations respecting the 15,000,000,- 000 urgent deficiency bill. Gen. Crozier made several things clear. First, tfat the army officers are not worrying over a shortage of small arms'or ammunition equipment for the troops to be sent abroad. Second, that four months' training in this country, with a supplementary course in France, is regarded as sufficient to fit the greenest men for the firing line, and drafted men will be sent as rapidly as possible after the militia units. Third, that there is a shortage of transportation facilities that LOW promises to delay sending troops to Europe ^fter they are ready for service. General Crozier in the course of his testimony made the following statement in regard to the length of time for training the ney army. ' W e have been informed recently that the period of training at home which has been found desirable for English troops, now that they can get training in France, has been much curtailed and takes no longer than three or four months. In some cases it has been cut down to not more than half that time." * Germans Make Aerial • * Attack On American * * Hospital In France * * * * London—Reuters correspondent * * at British headquarters in France * * telegraphs that the Germans have * * made an, aerial attack on the Am- * * erican hospitals occupied by St. * * Louis and Harvard contingents, * * situated in a coast village, killing * * one officer of the American army * * medical corps and wounding three * * others severely. * * Two others of the rank and file * * were killed and "sixteen wounded, * * five of the Latter being Americans. * MEAT PRICES NOT TO BE FIXED Hoover Says Government Has Power to Set Cost. No Washington.—Price-fixing for meat and dairy products has no place in the government's food control plans, Herb ert C. Hoover, the food adfinistrator, told the National Live Stock conference. Not only would it be inadvisable to institute price-fixing in these industries, he declared, but the food administration has no such powe». Meat PHces Will Be High. As long as there is a heavy demand for meat, with a decreased production, Mr. Hoover said, meat prices will continue to soar. The hope of th*3 food administration is that it can stabilize quotat ons and thus eliminate speculation. "I cannot believe there Is a panacea "or a situation of this kind," said Mr. Hoover. "Our problem is to increase production. The beat we may expect is a slow development towards the ends we seek. Drastic control of pack ins plants, with government operation :;n alternative, will not work. We can administer food control only through the co-operation of all in ; crests concerned. Price-fixing Is Failure. "There is no power in the food bill to fix prices and we never have asked ib.it power. Everywhere In Europe pi ice-fixing—that is the naming of maximum prices—has failed," said Mr. Hoover. "We had the fixing of wheat prices thrust upon us, as it is our duty to purchase 30 per cent jf ~~ j the crop for export.

They were messages to Berlin from Count Luxburg, the German charge at Buenos Aires, forwarded by the Swedish legation there as Its own communications. Besides advising that no concessions be granted Argentina in the submarine controversy, they suggested that the South American country's ships be sunk "without leaving any trace" and gave information as to the sailing and positions of certain vessels. The department's announcement was sent to the Argentine embassy and the Swedish legation here at the same time it was given to the public. There was no explanation as to how the messages came into the hands of the United States nor discussion as to what may be the result. Public Thoroughly Aroused. Buenos Aires—Publie Indignation is at f<ver heat In the oriels that has sprung up with Sweden and Germany following the American state department's revelation of German Charge Count Lux burg's activities here. Except for a handful of pro-German and ultra-conservative papers, the Argentine press is clamoring for the Immediate rupture' of relations with Germany, some leading organs demanding a declaration of a state of war, following the example of the United States. The Swedish minister here, Baron Lowon, denies that any cipher dispatches had been sent to Berlin by the German charge through the Swedish legation at Buenos Aires.

Washington.—The great war credit j bill, authorizing 111,538,945,460 in bonds and certificates, passed the house unanimously.

The bill authorizes the issuance of $7,538,945,460 worth of convertible tour per cent bonds, subject to supertaxes and war profits taxes, to terminate at the discretion of the secretary of the treasury. Of this total $4,000,000,000 is for a new Allied loan; $3,000,000,000 is to take over a three and a half per cent issue already authorized, and the remaining $538,945,460 to be used for converting certain outstanding bonds, including the Danish West Indies, Alaskan railway, Panama canal, and naval construction issues. s Issuance also is authorized of not more than $2,000,000,000 worth each of certificates of indebtedness and war savings certificates, to run not more than one year and five year3, respectively, at rates of interest to be fixed by the secretary of the treasury to the same taxes a s the bonds.

Lansing. Complete reorganization of the Michigan troops which make up the National Guard is called for in orders received by Colonel Ambrose C. Peck, of the Thirty-first regiment, from Major- General Trasker H. Bliss, acting chief of staff. Instead of there being three regiments of 2,002 men each, there are to be two regiments of 3,006 each at the start. If the three regiments are to be made over into -two, there will be enough men to fill the quotas, but one section of the order indicates that there is to be an additional regiment formed later, to be known as a trailing unit. This will mean that there will be three regiments in a short time so that it is doubtful if any one of the three Michigan regiments is to be split up. The third regiment, however, may never go to Prance. This point is not made clear in the present orders. The chief difficulty, according to Colonel Pack, will be to find the additional 1,000 men for each of the regiments. Whether these 3,000 embryo soldiers will come from the drafted army or some other source is not clear. The reorganization calls for companies of 250 men each instead of 15*. Also, there will be three machine g u i companies in each regiment, instead of one, as at present. This is held to mean promotions for officers. The changes in the guard are ordered to take effect when the troops are established in the divisional quarters in Waco. Homelike 8ians at Camp. Michigan's first draft quota was greeted on its arrival at Camp Custer, by large signs bearing homelike words. They read "Detroit," and "Ingham," and "Berrien," etc., and under each sign the recruit sorted himself with his townsfolk. Each day's quota will be similarly sorted, until the final 100 per cent of the draft is present at camp, because the territorial idea, rigidly carried out, will be the basis of the units of the national army. The larger cities will have their regiments^ the smaller their companies, the effort being to keep every man sp far as possible "with his friends. Occupation, according to Maj. Clarence Lininger, division adjutant, also governs the first assignment of men to units. Thus the engineers call for miners, lumbermen, and certain other trades; the signal corps needs electricians, mechanics, etc. It is felt that this will not seriously interfere with the territorial arrangements, because lumberjacks grow mostly in the same districts, mechanics are found in the cities, and so on. Later, it is possible that men wishing to be transferred from one unit or one branch of the service to another will be permitted to make a change, but at the start no choice will be given. The men are being formed into skeleton units, to be built upu gradually to war strength. "Christmas In France." Back of the lines in France by Christmas!

Synopsis—For years old Hilary Kingston lived with his daughter, Ellnar, in a beautiful home on a hill la the suburban villuge of Wofflngham. The neighbors knew nothing about the establishment, except that the father was quite wealthy, and the daughter very good looking and gentle. la reality Kingston was head of an anarchist band, composed of Huff, Boroday, Talbot and Lethbridge, that robbed the rich and gave to the poor and oppressed. One day Old Hilary was shot dead, and the course of life changed abruptly for his daughter. CHAPTER II—Continued. —2— The routine never varied. Elinor tialocked the door to a winding stulrense, which led to a basement room where the steel vault stood In its cement walls. *rte five went down, retnrning shortly with the cash-boxes. The money was divided on the library table, h went by percentages. Hilary drew 20 that last year, each of rhe others 10—a total of 00 per cent The 40 per cent remaining was divided, or sent as a whole, according ts the sense ot the meeting. Berlin got It all one year, for Instance, to Boroday's disgust. Russia generally received a large proportion. The Chinese revolution; the defense of Berkhardt, who killed Ecker the porkpacker; a shipment of guns and ammunition to Central America—thus it went. Although they preferred only money, now and then the loot Included Jewels. By common consent, such gems, stripped of their settings, were put aside for Elinor. They meant nothing to her. Had anyone told her that for several years her shnre had been greater in actual value than all the money that had fallen to her father she would not have believed i t . . . Four days or so after the annual meeting, the rector of Saint Jude's was always asked to dinner. And although the reverend gentleman would under normal circumstances have been fishlag In Canada, he never went until this function was over. For old Hilary, detesting his creed, respected the man. A certnln percentage, then, of old Hilary's share went over the library table, after the dinner, to the rector. "Use It where It will do the most good." he would say. "The church organ—" "Not a cent to the church organ. Boy the youngsters a playground, or —build a lying-in ward in the hospital." Elinor's mother had died in childbirth. The last check had been unusually generous. The rector, who had been smoking one of old Hilary's choice cigars, put It down and faced his host resolutely. It took courage. ••Mr. Kingston," he said, "the church naeds men like you. Why be a Christian in the spirit and—avoid the letter r "Tut- Old Hilary *ose and looked down at him. "I am like all gamblers. Tnls annual check to your poor Is-the sop I throw to luck. That's all. air." And his tone closed the discussion. The word "gambler" worried the rector. • He thought over It on his way down the hill to the rectory. But his poor were very poor. He cashed the eneck the next day. . . . Elinor was In the library that sunny August day when they brought old Hilary to her. She bad never seen death before, except on the streeu of tfexjco, and for a good many years he had been all she had—since her last governess, In fact, had been discovered* secreting the rosary and had been word-scourged from the house In tears. She fainted,, and wrinkled Henrlette laid her on a couch. Boroday. tbe Russian, had brought the body borne, and now be stood, looking down at E2tnor and stroking his •agnstkcat beard. . "He expected i t Henrlette," be said. "He thought It would hare come sooner, In the Parker matter. I wonder-*'* B e glanced through the open door to the billiard room, wwere old Hilary's 'body I«Y op ta* table. Be was minded, wus Boroday. to wonder many things— whether, after all, old Hilary's dauntless spirit had gone out like a lump, or If— This white and carven thing in rbe next room, with stiffening hands and the gray derby at Its feet, surely there was no mystery about it This was not old Hilary: that was all. But where, then, was old Hilary? The Russian, who had been raised within the pale and on an ancient faith, and who had now lost his best friend, felt all the bitterness of his unbelief. Elinor stirred. "He wilt have to be burled." said Henrlette. "The news has gone through the town. The Hsslstant rector of the churcb has telephoned, and Is on his way here now. What am I to d o r "Let them bury him as they will." said Boroday. "What does It matter? he would himself have seen the humor of It." Hilary Kingston had been shot during the dayliffh* robbery of the Agra- Han hank messenger. He was shot as an Innocent bystander, find wn* referred to by the press as philanthropist and martyr. So much for years of caution and the annual gift to Satnr Jude's. As a matter of fnct. the Agrarian affair was calamitous in several ways. It bore too close a resemblance to a St. Louis matter of several years back. In which Boroday had~come under suspicion. On a Tuesday morning, the cash being more thnn the bank cared to have about, two hundred and ten thousand dollars was sent to the clearing house. Two derks from the bank accompanied the messenger, who went by taxicab. There are two direct routes to the clearing house: one along oue of the great avenues, the other through the "Let Them Bury Him at They Will," Said 8oroday. newspaper district Here, at ten-thirty in the morning, things are rather quiet, and except for vans delivering rolls of paper, there Is little traffic The taxicab went by this latter route. Opposite the Record offlre, where the presses stood, silent monsters waiting to leap, old Hilary Kingston was standing, kidgloved and wearing the gray derby hat he affected. As the taxicab bore down toward him he milled i t • "Taxi r he called. The taxicab slowed down. Old Hilary, seeing it occupied, waved It off with his stick. But It had come to a full stop. There was an alleyway beside the Record building, and now three men ran out from there, and thrust revolvers through the open windows of the cab. After that tt was hot work Marshall of the bank went back with a bullet through his lung. The bank ^messenger fired polntblank, and missed his target; but old Hilary, gray derby and all, went down where be stood twenty feet away. Tlfe uninjured clerk had an automatic gun, and swept a circle with it over the bag which lay at his feet There wa&jw getting inside that ring of death. The bandits retreated, firing as they ran. and climbed into an automobile up the street When the reporters in the Record offlee wakened to the fact that there waa a story voder their windows, the street was deaf? Only old Hilary lay dead on the pavement with a bullet to his bead. He had linr.vn a b^nni *uu*- Uie St. Ixuiis matter. That would help. And he had waited to return and claim vid Hilary's body, until the U*cord extra had announced his killing. Walking up and down the wide hall, his keen mind was going hack,-detail by detail, over the day. Talbot and Lethbridge 'n the car had kept on. They had had changes of clothing In the machine. By now they should be at the country club, and halfway around the links. The car, with its changed license plates, would be standing to the eminently respectable country club parage. CHAPTER III. It was. after all, the assistant rector of Saint Jude's who came up the hill that hot August day The news of old Hilary's death had come down from the. city on an early train. The rector was away on his deferred fishing trip where, having exchanged his clerical collar for none at all und having blistered the end of his ecclesiastical nose he was quite happy. The assistant, Mr. Ward, whistled as he climbed (be hill. A* the hill was steep, this proved two things—his j youth, and his lightness of heart. True. I old Hilary Kingston was dead, and vlo- ' lently done to death. But to Mr. Ward death was but the gateway to a larger life; and only very sad in the young. who have not yet lived. Mr. Ward was young, a broad-shouldered young m:tn. with clear, rather deep-set eyes, and a firm mouth. The people of Saint .hide's prophesied that the world would hear of Air. Ward There was only one bar to his progress: he had too much humor. It seemed to the people of Saint Jude's that religion Is a serious thing, forgetting that good cheer Is one of the things it must bring, and it be religion. Boroday met Ward in the hall. Old Hilary was upstairs by that rime, lying in his great bed. All the doors and windows were open, and sunshine filled the rooms. Ward thought it an unusually sane house of mourning. "I'm glad to see the sun." he said. MSo many people close things up.' "Miss Kingston wished things undisturbed." "I came to tell her—but I suppose she doesn't care to see anyone—the rector Is away on a holiday. I'll wire l\hn, of course." Boroday led the way Into the library where the rector hud so recently received his check. He turned and eyed Ward. "Why bring the rector back?" he asked. "It is a little late for—the comforts of religion." "Mr. Kingston gave lavishly to the church. Whatever the church can do—" "I rather think," said Boroday politely, "that he gave, not to the church, but to the poor." " 'Inasmuch as ye give unto one of the least of these.'" Ward replied. and returned Boroday's gaze. Elinor had pulled herself together. By the one standard that hod ruled her life she acted now—her father's wishes. Ward, brought face to face with her. found her unapproachable, cnlin. almost cold. Found her very lovely, too. and let his ardent young eyes rest on her oftener than was wise. Her sit nation appealed to him. She seemed to be quite alone, save for the Russian with the benrd. "If I can do anything." he said, "wire to your relatives—anything of that sort—" "I have no relatives. My mother died when I was born. I—I have a curious feeling that everything in the world has stopped—as though I'd reached the end of things." It seemed to Mr. Ward that he should offer some of the comfort of his faith to this shrinking, wide-eyed girl before him. But what? Rumors had come to him. of course. "Death Is only a tragedy when we think of it as an end and not as a beginning." he said. "It is always sad. I hope you understand that I knowhow terrible all this is for you. But to have lived one's life, active and well and useful to the end. and then to depart In the fullness of days, for new activities—somewhere else—" Elinor shivered In the warm sunshine. "You see," she said drearily, "I do not believe those things. I should like to Just now." Then, almost defiantly : "He was useful. You will never know the things he did that were helpful. But perhaps we would not agree on that either." The Russian was walking up and down the hall, impassive, watchful. Under his stoical indifference, be was suffering tortures. A bullet from the automatic had gone through his left arm. grazing the bone. Luckily, the bullet was not in the wound. Henrlette had bathed and cleansed It but he was in agony. Re was suffering pain, bereavement defeat His face expressed only decorous and conventional regret Now and then he glanced In at the library door, but generally he watched the road up the hill. As he had watched the Church ascending, an now at any time might come Law. Be would hp prepared. The Reverend Mr. Ward makes some interesting discoveries. His new associations with mem- N bers of the robber gang are described in the next installment.

Among" all our* herbaceous plants, there is probably not one that stands higher lu popular favor than the peony. And it richly deserves Us popularity, because of its great hardiness, its ease of culture, its mugnlhcent range of rich and delicate colors, its wonderful profusion of bloom and its tenacity of life. The writer knows many specimens of the old variety, cultivated by our grandmothers, extensively, that have been growing in the same place in the old gardens for more than a century, and, without exception, those that received good care are as vigorous and healthy today as any young plants, and year after year, they give a glorious crop of fine flowers. Many of these oid plants have grown to be clumps five and six feet across, and one can often count hundreds of blossoms and buds in various stages of development on each plant. Such plants as these are what is needed to make the attractions of a garden permanent. There is no other hardy herbaceous plant that can be used with such tine euect in the border. Scattered here and there among the shrubbery, It produces a most satisfactory show of color at a time when most shrubs are not In bloom. Prob-ihly, however, it Is most strikingly effective when planted in large beds. If it can be given a background of evergreens its rich colors show up to great advantage. Shrubbery of any kind as a background, brings Its color) into strong relief, and one should always plant, if possible, with that aim in view. If partially shaded, all the better. The culture of the peony is simple in the extreme. It does best in a rather stiff loam, or almost any soil, preferring It to a lighter soil, because It likes to feel the earth lirm about lt« roots. While it prefers such a soil, It will df» very well indeed in sandy loam, or almost any soil, provided it is rtch in the elements of plant development. To grow good peonies, one must make liberal use of fertilizers, preferably old, well-rotted manure. Unless this is done you cannot expect o vigorous growth of stalks and foliage, or generous crops of large, richly colored flowers. Favorites, the Peonies. It is hardly possible to use too much manure about it, if it is old enough to be black and crumbles easily under the application pf the hoe. It should be dug into the soil about the roots of the plants, taking care, however, not to dig too close or deep enough to disturb them. There is no plant that resents a disturbance of its roots more. Dig Into a clump to secure a "toe" for a neighbor, and very often the parent plant will refuse to bloom the second season. So hardy is the peony that it is not necessary to give it winter protection at the- extreme north, if its roots are put deep into the ground. If given shallow planting, the frost will often heave them badly unless covered with coarse manure or mulch of some kind. The roots should be at least six Inches below the surface. While winter protection is not necessary, it is advisable, because It prevents taxing the vitality of the plant excessively, In its efforts to withstand a severe winter. Why He Came Home.

Straight Coatee Will Be Popular Paris,—One of the most popular novelties of the autumn season 1& the short straight 'coatee which Is cut lu sack form. This smart and eminently useful gtuiu~ut promise! to be universally popular all through the winter. It is comfortable, practical and beooming, and then it is exceedingly economical, for It enables hulf-worn fur coats to be altered, cut up and brought thoroughly into the front line of fashion. All the Paris dressmakers and tailors of the tlrst order are showing these short coulees In their advance winter styles and the buyers are very much pleased with them. The model of this order which I have sketched this week was created by Redfern and it Is an excellent example of the fashions of tomorrow. Tery simple in outline, but so smart and attractive. The material used for the original model was billiard-green faced cloth and the coatee was bordered with mus- $nash. You will notice that the band of fur round the hem has the appearance of having been turned up loosely. It Is not laid on the cloth in the old style. It is rolled back and invisibly <*ught down here to hold It In place. This Is a favorite method with outtest tailors. They apply It to fur bands of all kinds and <•" course to turn-back cuffs. The -eontee Is finished off with a large hood collar, which is also a novelty certain of lasting success. This color is so vivid that It needs to be accompanied by trimmings of , dark fur, or of some dark material. Indeed, I haye seen various shades of green shown In the best houses, almost a* many greens as blues, and this Is a serious paying, as every conceivable •toade of blue is called Into use by our enterprising dressmakers. The Redfern coatee was lined with shot taffetas which showed gleams of gray, ddll rose and dull blue. Suitable for American Women. Beer has prepared an excellent selection of early winter or late autumn models this year. And the general outline is admirably suitable to the averlast year. Chez Beer I saw plenty of fine-faced cloth, and also the new slightly rough material which is sometimes called monk's d o t ' \ but which is in reality camel's hair cloth. The real monk's cloth is a heavy material suitable only for cold weather. Fine blue serge still holds a leading place in the affections of the Parlsiennes, and also of the Parisian dressmakers. I do not suppose that navy blue serge, In a good quality, will ever go out of fashion, even for a single seasun. This year there have been many New Winter Costume of Billiard-Green Cloth. American woman. Everything for a tall and slender effect of Beer's new models are quite sjaaatngty tall and thin. The tunics sue long and so beautifully cat that the fulness at the waist seems to disappear completely and the skirts are •early ankle length, though not quite. Beer it not showing many of the long, round,skirts of which we hare heard so much. He la still remaining fisJtfaful to walking dresses which art entirely practical, hot which do not ghre the short effect which startled us The Floating Veil. difficulties in the way of obtaining this favorite dress material. All the best blue dyes came from Germany, and It has taken our own people some time to achieve the best results with home materials, but they have succeeded. Quantities of fine silk braidings are introduced on serge suits, braidings worked by hand, of course. One of the Beer models, an afternoon dress, which pleased me very much, was made of black and white striped chnrmeuse, and the stripes were arranged in two different ways. For the skirt they ran down from waist to hem, but on the tunic they ran round the figure, while the corsage was a very clever mixture of the two methods. This dress had plaitings of black llfceN let ^n at one side of the tunic, and tftefe was a broad sash of raspberry-red peau de sole. N*w Moyen-Age Corsages. Apropos black silk braid trimmings, I must speak of the new moyen-age corsages, which are seen on so many costumes Intended for our girls. These corsages are cut on straight lines and have the round neck which is peculiar to moyen-nge fashions. They give a long-walsted effect, and the correct thing Is to literally cover them with fine silk braidings or with rich embroideries. A plaited skirt is often attached to a corsage of this order, but the latter is Invariably sleeveless and worn over un under-hodlce with long, often transparent, sleeves. This style of dress Is ideal for wearing under warm wraps In Hie autumn or early winter. It is a comfortable, very youthful fashion and very easily achieved. The round moyen-age neck Is more popular than ever. In some establishments It is exploited almost to the exclusion of all other styles. The Idea of having autumn and winter dresses made sleeveless, to be worn over different under-bodlces, is gaining in favor. It is a pretty and economical fashion, for it enables a clever girl to make one dress appear like three or four. The Floating Veil. Is it not fascinating, this floating veil which I have Illustrated? This is the latest style and It is one which will surely prove becoming to American women, who have always 'worn long | and picturesque veils with admlrabfc i grace. ; The model Illustrated was made of pearl*gray tulle and it had a finely embroidered hem which formed a sort of light mask for the lower part of the face. The veil Itself was slightly gathered and attached to a velvet band which was supplied with an Invisible pressure button at the ends. This velvet band was passed around the crown of the hat and fastened at the hack, the long end of the veil being wound around the neck, one end falling over the right shoulder. Floating veils of this order are very fashionable, and they may be said to be universally becoming. They are made of spotted tulle or of fine Russian n e t with a border of filmy lace or of-embroidery, as indicated in the drawing. Last season we were wearing veils which masked the upper part of the face: this season it Is the chin and throat that hide behind the Tery transparent mask.

LIFT OUT ANY CORN Apply a few drops then lift corns or calluses off with finger*—no pain. ffcfr. Just think ! You can lift off uuy corn or callus without pain or soreness. A Cincinnati man discovered this ether compound and named it freezone. Any druggist will sell a tiny bottle of freefone, like here shown, for very little cost. You apply a few drops directly upou a tender corn or callus. Instantly the soreness disappears, then shortly you will find the corn or callus so loose that you can lift it right off. Freezone is wonderful. It dries instantly. It doesn't eat away the corn or callus, but shrivels it up without even irritating the surrounding skin. Hard, soft or corns between the toes, as well as painful calluses, lift right off. There is no pain before or afterwards. If your druggist hasn't freezone, tell him to order a small bottle for you frtfrn his wholesale, drug house.—adv. Pertinent Inquiry.

Fruits and vegetables when dried in the sun generally are spread on large trays of uniform size so constructed that they can be stacked one ou top of the other and protected from rain by means of a cover made of oilcloth, canvas or roohng paper. A very cheap tray can be made of •trips of lumber three-fourths of an inch thick and two inches wide, which form the sides and ends, and lath which is nailed on to form the bottom. 0 Spaces one-eighth inch wide should be left between the laths for ventilation, and the trays can be raised off the ground by placing them on poles or an improvised trestle. As laths are four feet long, these* lath trays are most economical of material when made four feet in length. A cheap and very satisfactory drier for use over• the kitchen stove can be made by any handy boy or carpenter from a small amount of email mesh galvanized wire netting and a number of laths or strips of wood about onehalf inch thick and two inches wide. The screen may be tacked directly on the framework to make the drying shelves, or the framework can be made to support separate trays.

CHEAP AND USEFUL DRIER United States Department of Agriculture Qivei Valuable Direction! For Conserving Food by 8imple and Inexpensive Home Proceeeee—Different W a y * of Drying Food Products. IFrom United States department of agriculture.] Fruits and vegetables may be dried in the home by simple processes and stored for future use. The processes are sun drying, drying by artificial heat and drying by air blast. These, of bourse, may be combined. In general, most fruits or vegetables to be dried quickly must be shredded or cut into ullces, because many are too large to Cry quickly or are covered with a skin, the purpose of which is to prevent drying out. When freshly cut fruits or vegetables are to be dried by means of artificial heat they should be exposed first to gentle heat and Inter to the higher temperatures. If the air applied at the outset is of too high a temperature' the cut surfaces of the sliced fruits or vegetables become hard or scorched, covering the juicy interior so that it will not dry out. Generally it is not desirable that the air temperature in drying should go above 140 degrees to 150 degrees F., and it is better to keep it "well below this point. Insects and insect eggs are killed by exposure to heat of this temperature. It is important to know the degree I of heat iu the drier, and this cannot : be determined very accurately except by using a thermometer. The reason sun drying is popularly believed to [ give fruits and vegetables a sweeter ; flavor lies probably in the fact that in the sun tbey'never are scorched, -where- j as in the oven or over a stove scorching is likely to occur unless careful ettention is given them.. j "To secure a fine quality of dried products much depends upon having the vegetables absolutely fresh, young, tender and perfectly clean. If steel '. knives are used in paring and cutting j have them clean and bright so as not to discolor, the vegetable.

Thts form or^any of the lighter makes of driers can be suspended from the ceiling over the kitchen range or over the oil, gasoline or gas stove, and it will utilize the hot air which rises'during the cooking hour. It can be raised out of the way or swung to one side by a crane made of lath. A good home drier is the cook stove oven. Bits of food, leftovers, especially sweet corn, can be dried on plates in a very slow oven or on the back of the cook stove and saved for winter use. If the oven is very warm the door should be left ajar and the temperature of the oven often noted. Trays for use in the oven can be made from a convenient sized galvanized wire screen.by bending up the edges one or two inches. Good use can also be made of an'electric fan. Directions For Drying. Many of the products for which directions are given here may be dried either with or without preliminary blanching. In such cases both methods are described. ALTERNATIVE METHODS ARE DESIGNATED BY LETTERS A, B, C, ETC. Sweet Corn. Only very young and tender com should be used for drying, and it should be prepared at once after gathering. (a) Cook in boiling water two to five minutes, long enough to set the milk. Cut the kernels from the cob with a sharp knife, taking care not to cut off pieces of the cob. Spread thinly on trays and place in position to dry. Stir occasionally until dry. (b) Boil or steam on the cob eight to ten minutes to set the milk. To improve flavor a teaspoonful of salt to a' gallon of water may be used. Drain well and' cut corn from cob, using a very sharp and flexible knife. Cut grains fine, only halfway down to the cob, and scrapo out the remainder of grain, being careful not to scrape off any of the chaff next to the cob. Dry from three to four hours a t l l O to 145 degrees F. (c) The corn may be dried in the sun. Dry in oven ten to fifteen minutes and finish drying in the sun. Sun drying, of course, is not satisfactory in moist weather. Pack in cartons or boxes for a few days to "condition." String or Snap Beans. AH varieties of string bQ&ns can ba dried, but only beans in ideal condition for table use should be selected for this purpose. (a) Wash, remove stem, tip and "strings." Cut or break the beans into pieces one-half to one inch long and place on trays and dry. They also can be run through the sllcer and then dried quickly. (b) Prepare as directed above, but instead of cutting the beans thread them on coarse, strong thread, making long "necklaces'* of them, and hang them above the stove or out of doors until dry. An old fashioned recipe calls for boiling the pods until nearly cooked through before drying. (c) Wash and string beans,carefully. TlW very young and tender beans caa be dried whole. Those that ar« full givwn should be rut in one-fourth to on* Inch lengths with vegetable sUcer or a sharp knife. They are then put in a bag of cheesevloth or in a wire basket and blanched in boiling Mater for BLX to ten minutes, dei*?nding on the maturity of the bean. One-half teaspoonful of tarda may be added to eaefc gallon of boiling water to halp set the green color in the beana. Remove surface moisture by placing he> tween two towels or by exposing to the sun and- air for a short time. Dry young string'beans two hours, more matured beans three hours. Begin drying at temperature of 110 degrees F. and raise temperature gradually to 145 degrees F. Wax beans are dried in the same manner as the green string beans. Peas. (a) Shell and spread on trays and dry. (b) Shell full grown peas with nonedible pod, blanch the peas from three to five minutes, remove surplus moisture, spread in single layer on trays and dry from three to three and onehalf hours. Begin drying at 11(/ degrees F., raising temperature very slowly in about one and one-half hours to 145 degrees F.» Continue drying one and one-half or two hours at 145 degrees F. (c) Shell full grown peas, passing through a meat grinder, then spread on trays and dry. Whole peas take longer to dry, -but when cooked t h e j resemble fresh peas. The ground peas dry more quickly, but make a product which can"be used successfully only in the preparation of soup or puree. (d) When drying the very young and tender sugar peas use the pod also. Wash and cut in quarter inch pieces. Blanch in boiling water six: minuter. Itemove surplus moisture and dry the same length of time and at the same temperature as string beans. It is not necessary to use soda when blanching peas. Garden Beets, Carrots, Rhubarb, Etc. Beets.—ia) Select young, quickly grown, Tender beets. Wash, peel, slice about one-eighth inch thick and dry. (b) Boil the whole beets with skin until -a little more than three-fourths done. Dip in cold water, peel and slice into one-eighth or one-quarter inch slices. Dry two and one-half to three hours at 110 degrees to 150 degrees F. Carrots.—Varieties having a large, woody core should be avoided. (a) Wash, peel, slice lengthwise into pieces about*one-eighth inch thick and dry. (b) Clean, scrape or pare nnd slice into one-eighth inch slices. Blanch six minutes, remove surface moisture and dry two^and one-half to three hours. Begin drying at 110 degrees F. and raise temperature gradually to 150 degrees F. Parsnips, kohlrabi, celeriac and salsify are dried by the same methods. Rhubarb.—Choose young and succulent growth. Prepare as for stewing, by skinning the leaf stalks and cutting into pieces about one-fourth inch to one-half inch in length. Do no* use the blade of the leaf. Pumpkins and Squash. (a) Select sound, well grown specimens. Cut into strips. reel these, remove all seeds and the soft part surrounding them. Cut strips into smaller bits not over one-fourth inch thick aud.two inches long and dry. (b) Pare and cut into about one-half inch strips and blanch three minutes. Remove , surface moisture and dry slowly from three to four hours, raising temperature from 110 to 140 degrees F. Celery tops, parsley, mint, sage and herbs of all kinds need not be blanched, but should be washed well and dried in the sun or in^he drier. Apples, Pears and Quinces. Early varieties and sweet apples are not well adapted to drying. Winter apples should be used for this purpose. (a) Teel, core. t:mi and slice onefourth inch thick. Dip in weak salt solution containing eight teaspoonfuls of salt to one gallon of water. Spread on trays and dry. It is only necessary to dry apples long enough for them to become tough nnd somewhat leathery. (b) Pare, core and cut into eighths, or core and slice in rings, using fruit or vegetable slicer. As apples discolor quickly, do not let them stand long South Iosco Mies Maggie Grieve of Plainfield viuited at W. 8- Caskey'u laet week. F.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, Sept. 6th )917 No 36 German Brutality Attriquted to Beer Drinking When a professor of geology at Harvard attributes the brutalities of the "German government to the drinking of beer perhaps his opinion will not be met with crie» of "Fanaticism!" Prof. Reginald Aldworth Daly does express that opinion. In doing so, he merely x#-enforces a massive array of evidence and agrees with the great German leaders who strove mightily to resaue their oeuntry from beer and ruin. Muneey's Magazine reports. Prof. Daly, as follows: "I ventwre the hjrpothesis," he says, "that Irfelong drinking of mild beer has bsen one of the potent causes for the amzing brutalities of official Ger-. ^many. These crimes have been ordered' by men who for decades have been poisoned by beer. In times of peace and quiet, the poison causes derange, ment of bjpain tissue, often expressed merely in some form of sentimentality, plain or maudlin. If however the victim is put under stress, hia nervous disorder is kkely to lead to bad temper and bad judgement, with endless possibilities in the way of less of dignity, poise and the sense of human fellowship. To the hypothetical retort that as much alcohol per capita is drunk in England and France as in Germany, he answers; « "The Germanic peoples are the only great group who feed akohol to babies or very^oung children of the middle or upper classes. If the baby has not been already prenatally damaged because of beer drunk by his mother, he still runs tha risk of poisoning from the alcohol bearing milk of a drinking mother or wet nurse. The child grows to manhood drinking alcohol and continually handicapped in his development of cerebral, *and therefore moral control. "On the other hand, nearly all the alcohol drunk in France and England is consumed after she formative years of childhood—distinctly lessening the danger ef permanent cerebral degeneration. The drunkards of France and the Brush Isles are, as elsewhere, brutal and mean; bat fortunately for the good name of the governments of these two countries, many men of the ruling clases, the men who issue orders, are not addicted to the daily use of alcohol, either in youth or maturity." And he ends his exposition of the part that beer has played in the great war with a quotation from the elder Moltke, who once said*, "Beer is a far more dangerous enemy to Germany than all the ailies of France." Michigan Kiddies Are Keen for Fair Prizes General interest attaches to the Better Babies' Contest which has already featured two Michigan State Fairs. This year the number of entries indicates an increasing enthusiasm on the part of parents anxio|Bi to enter their children for prizes.

She is the highest paid woman fiction writer in the world today because her writing makes a universal appeal. THE EDITOR. CHAPTER I. Hilary Kingston had been shot Old Hilary had been a familiar figure In the village of Woffljagham for years. The eccentricity of his gray derby hat, his beetling gray brows, his always fresh gray gloves, his erect, rather heavy old figure, singled him out from the mass of commuters that thronged the city trains. The gray derby was a part of old Hilary. Except on those rare occasions when he attended service at Saint Jude's he was never seen without It. He lived on the hill above the village, with bis daughter—had lived there for ten years. The hall was beautiful, but old Hilary received no visitors, returned no advnnces. Visitors thought this curious. The villagers, prosperous business men with smart wives, shrugged their shoulders. The man's house was his own. If he found that he could do without the town, the town could get along without htra. There was no mystery about the hall, and little curiosity. Cars going to the country club passed under the brick wall of its Italian garden. Their occupants sometimes caught a glimpse of Elinor Kingston there, reading in a rose arbor, wandering among her peonies and Iris in the spring, or cutting sprays of phlox in midsummer. The men thought her rather lovely; the women, odd, with her blond hair and dark eyes. The assistant rector of Saint Jude's, newly come to the village, met her face to face on one of his long country walks, a month or so before old Hilary's death, and could not forget ber. He led the conversation to her that night at a dinner. "An exquisite face," he described her, "but sad, almost tragically sad." "Blond?" The lady on his right was a Mrs. Bryant. In honor of the new assistant rector, who came of fine family and was a distinct acquisition to the village, she wore the Bryant pearshaped pearl. She spoke rather curtly. "I should not call her exquisite— but you probably met Elinor Kingston. Her sadness is a pose, I believe; she has everything she wants." The assistant rector was young, but very wise. So he spoke no more of Elinor until the women had left the table. Then he ventured again. "Don't join the army of those of us who worship from afar," advised the youth who had moved up beside him. "She's the loveliest thing in this part of the country. But, except our sainted rector, no one ever gets to put a foot on the place. It's exclusiveness to the nth power, and then some. There's a lot of talk, of course, or used to be. Old Kingston brings his servants from New York, and except an elderly housekeeper, none of them speak English. They used to say around here that he was a refugee, but that's ail rot. He's a stingy old dotard, afraid some handsome youth like myself will captivate the girL That's all there is to It." The assistant rector, whose name was Ward, smiled perfunctorily. Instead of the gleaming table, spread with flowers and candles, with the gay colors of cordials and liqueurs, he was Keying a girl standing at the turn of a country road and gazing down into the vnlley and the distant village with somber eyes. . . . Faith, hope and charity, and the greatest of these is faith. Faith in ourselves, faith in those around us, and that sublimes* faith of all which trusts in something beyond. To all men is given such faith at the begin' ning of life, and some keep it to the end. But here and there Is one who has lost It, who cannot, t u n his eyes up and say "Lord, Lord." Old Hilary had not kept the faith. Tears ago he had not been eviL He ted gone from philosophy into unbe- Bet that root* which «11 must traveL unlike the many, he had not come Be had started with socialism, hot seoaliem most be t o u t e d oa the C M * , tod him he scored. So frem mdtMmm he had drifted to anarchy. To mo the rich and gtve to the poor, at i n * . Later oa, to rct> the rick, to Incite seditions, to arm the rebellious— oh, it was comprehensive enough, vastly wicked with that most terrible lawlessness of all, that believes itself law. To pit his wits against the world and win—that had been old Hilary's creed. "For the oppressed" had been at first the slogan of the band he gathered around him. "Against the oppressor" it became later on. Vastly different the two. Most of human charity and kindliness lay crushed down and trampled underfoot during old Hilary's progress from Christ to Antichrist. The band had been gathered with much care. Respectability, order, decorum— these spelled safety to old Hilary's astute mind. Most of them were younger sons of English landed j families, with a sprinkling of other na-1 tlonalities. Young Huff was an Aus- ! '.rallan, for instance, the son of a ! wealthy sheep-owner. Boroday the Russiun—implicated in the bombthrowing that destroyed the minister of war—was a nobleman. Old Hilary had got him out of Siberia during those early days when he righted what, to his crooked mind, were wrongs. There were twelve in the band at the beginning, and for five years there were no changes. Then came the kidnapping and holding for ransom of Mackintosh the banker in Iowa, and the unexpected calling out of the state militia. The band had hidden Mackintosh in a deserted mine and three of the band went down in the shooting that followed his discovery. In the looting of Tiffany's vaults, which has never been published, a Frenchman named Dupres was killed; and only "But if my mother is dead, where is shel" asked Elinor on one of them. Old Hilary had eyed her from under eyebrows that were already gray. "She lives In the memories of those that knew and loved her." "But I never knew ber. Then for me she doesn't live! But Mademoiselle—" she checked herself. Suspicion had been dawning In old Hilary's* eyes. "Death is the end," he said tersely, and quoted Darwin and Haeckel to her. But at the end of the drive he. interviewed Mademoiselle, and sent her flying to her chamber, where from under the carpet beneath her bureau, she got herj-osary and wept over it. Elinor was twenty the year her father died, a slender girl, fond of flowers, rather a dreamer. Well educated, too. Old Hilary had seen to that; she knew Malato, Haeckel, Bakunin; spoke French and Spanish—Hilary had spent much time in Central America helping the insurgents; it was be who financed the Insurrection In northern Mexico—and wrote fluently the form of shorthand that her father had devised as a means of communication between the leader of the band. A keeneyed, wistful-mouthed slip of a girl, shut off in the great house on the hill above Wofflngham; living her life of big theories and small duties, calloused to robbery and violent deeds, and viewing wistfully from her windows the little children in the rood below. To Pit Hit Witc Against the World and Win—That Had Been Old Hilary* s Creed. recently a tire had burst after the holding up of the car of the governor of Delaware, and their car, overturning, had crushed Jerrold, the mechanic of the band and old Hilary's chauffeur. One way and another, there were only five left: Talbot and Lethbridge the Englishmen, Boroday, Huff and old Hilary himself. And old Hilary's hour was almost come. Old Hilary lived well, as he might His foreign servants were artists. He liked good food, good wines, good books. He even had a few pictures— from the leading galleries of Europe. He hung them in the house at Wolfingham, with a cynical smile. "Safest place in the world.** he said to old Henrietta who protested. "The village has never even heard of them !** And so in this atmosphere with which he surrounded himself, of toe living and wrong •Mtiirfnf, of atheism raised almost to religion, of no law and no Christ, old Hilary had brought up his daughter. He had been proad of her la his way; absolutely selfish, too. She had had no other companion. B* taught ber his unbelief, pointing oat the churchgoers, as they drove together on Sunday mornings, as slaves to a myth, Also, he taught her to hate a He, and to give alma Early In her life their drive* together had bear punctured with questions. CHAPTER II. Once a year the association closed its books. During all of the June before old Hilary's sudden death, Elinor had been busy arranging figures, collecting data In the cryptic shorthand she knew. Then, on the first of July. Hilary gave his annual dinner. The band, from twelve, was down to five. Boroday, the Russian, glancing around the table, shrugged his shoulders. It was the chance of the game they played, and percentages would be larger, Nevertheless there was a weight of depression over them all." Elinor was at her fa Iher's right, simply dressed. The dinners were always a trial to her. She was palpltat- MAY FOUND JEWISH REPUBLIC tugly anxious that the puj>er« bef«»r» old Hilary be in order uud accurate. They were p«r work. The deei**r significance of the meeting she was not so much ignorant of as profoundly indifferent to.. If her father did a thing, it took on order, became a law. There were present Talbot and Lethbridge, the Englishmen; Boroday, whose rescue from Siberia had made him old Hilary's henchman; and young Huff. Huff was the mechanician. He had been trained la the Bleriot works; airplanes to wireless, automobiles to automatic pistols, he knew them—all makes, all grades. If old Hrlary was the bruins. Huff was the hands of the band. He sat beside Elinor, and watched her with worshiping eyes. Perhaps It was as well that old Hilary was intent on hfs food and oa the business In hand. The routine of the annual dinner seldom varied Five of them then, that last dinner arottnd the table, in evening clothes, well set up, spare, three of them young, all temperate, honorable about women—as polished, as harmless In appearance, as deathdealing, as the gleaming projectile of a r twelve-inch gun 1 First old Hilary went over the books. It might have been the board meeting of some respectable bank. He stood at his end of the table, and the light from the chandelier fell full on him. "I have to report, gentlemen," he would say, "a fairly successful year." This is where it differed from a bank. The association had had no bad years. "While our expenses have been heavy, returns have been correspondingly so." And so on, careful lines of figures, outlays and returns, to the end. For old Hilary was secretary and treasurer a* well as president. This time, when he had reached the end of what was to be his last report, he paused and cleared his throat. "Unfortunately, that is not all, gentlemen. 'Nothing can we call our own but death.' And it is my sad duty to report, this last year, the loss of three of our number. A calamitous year, gentlemen." He might have been a trustee, lamenting the loss of valued supporters to a hospital! Afterward, in the library, with *BInor embroidering by the fire, they cashed in. They dealt only in cash. Securities were dangerous. Once or twice Boroday had successfully negotiated with a fence In Paris, but always under old Hilary's protest. PAINS SHARP AND STABBING Woman Thought She Would Die.

England, France and United States to Exercise Joint Protectorate After War, la Report Palestine is to become a Jewish republic at the end of the war, according to a recent report that appeared simultaneously In London and Washington. It Is thought possible that the disposition of the Holy Land was one of the subjects discussed by the British and French envoys with President Wilson and Secretary -Lansing at Wabhlngton. That the United States would fnvQ" such a plan is considered certain. According to the report the Jewish republic, known as Judea, would be a protectorate of England, France and the United States acting jointly. Jerusalem would be the capital of the new republic, which would have local government. Should this plan be carried into operation a great migration of the Jews back to their ancient land will likely take place. Not a great many are expected to leave the United States, but the several million more or less persecuted members of the race in Roumanla, Serbia, Anstrla- Hnngary and Germany, along with some from Russia, no donbt will take advantage of the chance to live in a state whero they will have equal opportunity as well as the right to worship in their old temples. Jerusalem, under such a condition, would become again a dry of millions and the great spaces of now arid lands in Palestine would be reclaimed. Place for Him, Denny, aged six, was in the first grade.

It is said that Coleridge once exclaimed to Charles Lamb: "1 could write plays just as well as Shakespeare, If I had a mind to!" "Yea," said Lamb, "that Is Just what you lack." It is a blessing, however, that even though we may not be able to do the work of a great genius, we may count upon growth In strength and breadth of mind. You can do with your mind today what you could not do five years ago. If you will give your mind an opportunity to grow by hard, honest, faithful, severe work, you will be able to do much more five years from now than you are able to do today. If your mind becomes poisoned with low ideals, with poor literature, with wrong conceptions of life, you may as well expect it to grow, as to expect a plant to grow In your garden when you have allowed every sort of plant enemy to burrow about the roots and feed on the stalks and leaves. Sergeant Sullivan and Patsolmnn Flahnrty were on the warpath. It had been reported at headquarters that the soldiers at Sinallvllle had been supplied with drink while on duty. The police officers had been sent forth to Investigate the matter. "Now, you wait outside," commanded the sergeant, "while I go in an' make inquiries. I shan't be a minute." But he was several minutes. At last he apepared, a dazed expression on his face. "Well?" queried Flaharty. "No foundation whatever for the charge," replied the sergeant. "Don't believe the landlord of that inn could be guilty of such a crime." "H'm!" grunted Flaharty, "that sounds all right, but if you take my tip, sergeant, you'll Just put this peppermint lozenge in yer mouth before you tell it to the chief."

"I had to live on nothing but bread and water for weeks at a time, but since taking Tanlac, I can eat anything I want and enjoy It as well as I ever did," said Fred W. Myers, of 17 Sullivan street, Ford City, the other day. Mr. Myers is the well-known foreman at the Ford City plant of the Michigan Alkali company. "I suffered from stomach trouble and Indigestion for fonr years," he explained. "Everything I ate formed gas on my stomach that seemed to press on my heart so I could hardly breathe. I belched up bits of sour, undigested food and had an awful, gnawing sensation In the pit of my stomach that at times burned like a coal of fire. Mucous was constantly dropping down my throat. My eyVs were watery so at times I could hardly see. I slept poorly and felt tired and worn out all the time. "I have tried many different medicines but nothing did the least good until I got Tanlac. Tanlac seems to be made especially for ray case for I commenced picking up right from the start and improved every day. My appetite now is fine and everything I eat agrees with me.

LIFT A CORN APPEALED TO SUPREME COURT Charlotte Man Brought Tea'. Case to Prevent Cotton Mill From Discharging Minor Sons. Greensboro, X C. Federal Judge 5 Boyd, of tru- weatern district of North Carolina held the Keating-Owen child labor law unconstitutional and enjoined the United States district at torney, William C. Hammer, and his "succesHors, assistants, deputies and agents," from enforcing in the district the provisions of the act of congress which became effective September 1. The case came before the court ou injunction proceedings brought in the name of Roland H. Dagenhart and hiis minor sons, Reuben and John, of Charlotte, who sought to restrain a Charlotte cotton mill company from discharging the two boys. JjJge Boyd said he was gratified by the candor of Professor Thomas I. Parkinson, of Columbia university, representing th% department of justice, who asserted that congress had used its power over interstate commerce for the object of regulation of local conditions within the state and the discouragement of child labor. This admission, said the judge, left the issue clear and brought forward the question: "Can congress do by indirection that which it undoubtedly cannot do directly?" "Congress," he said, "can regulate trade among the states, but not the internal conditions of labor " The case will be taken to the supreme court of the United States at once.

USE ALL APPLES YOU CAN TO SAVE FOOD FOR ALLIES Americans Should Eat Fruit and Vegetables So Meat and Wheat May Be Sent Overseas. Our ullies in war against the kaiser are very much in need of meat and wheat. If they are to pull through the fall and winter successfully, we must send them all of These staples we can. It will be necessary for Americans at home to eat more perishable food articles— like fruit and vegetables that cannot well be sent abroad. For this reason Uncle Sam's food administration is taking the keenest Interest in this year's tipple crop. The government wants us to eut more aa>- ples than ever before so that the wheat and meat supplies may go to help win the war. A campaign of education along this line is soon to start. This year's apple crop calls for intelligent handling. The latest government reports indicate a crop of about 190,000,000 bushels. That is a little below normal. Good prices are assured for all honestly packed, first quality apples, and also for honestly packed, selected second grades, which government experts say can be put Into storage. Wherj^iie- crop is big it does not pay to store second grades, but this year, despite the fact that we cannot ship our usual 2,000,000 barrels of apples abroad, because shipping space Is precious, we should be able to get fair prices for all good apples at home. Careless packing of poor quality fruit has always been one of the chief causes of market Instability and unsatisfactory prices to the growers. This year the whole apple industry is co-operating to remove this market handicap. There has never been an apple yeur such as this one is going to be. Growers have never been able to get together and engage and finance a national educational campaign among consumers to Increase apple consumption. This year the situation makes it necessary for the United States government, through the food administration, to conduct a consumer's campaign of publicity on behalf of the apple. This campaign will begin while the crop is being sent to market, and will probably continue until the last apple is eaten up late next spring. So the grower has three great incentives for grading, packing and storing this crop with especial care. 1. It is a good crop and calls* for care, 2. The government will encourage apple eating and apple storage and will discourage speculation that raises the price abnormally. 3. We must eat up at home more than two million barrels of apples, which would ordinarily be exported. To get the best of the crop to the market in prime condition it must be picked carefully at the time of maturity and promptly cooled in temporary storage, and then skillfully graded and packed. Second-grade fruit should not go Into barrels or boxes. If it cannot be marketed In bulk in near-by consuming centers, then it should be worked up into byproducts along with the culls. There has been a gratifying improvement in apple marketing the past two or three years. Western apples are boxed to strictly honest standards, by the great co-operative growers' organizations In Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho and Colorado. The eastern barrel apple has also been wonderfully Improved in New York and other states. Because apples are honestly packed and give the best possible value for the money, there Is an Increase In the consumer demand. Retail merchants who were formerly almost afraid to buy apples in barrels, because they were not sure of getting marketable values for their money, are now buying freely and in confidence. This good work makes it possible for the government to go further and encourage the use of apples as a war-time food measure. Because the bulk of the crop will be picked by volunteer workers this year, and put into common storage until tlTe* grower can find time to grade and pack, there will be an opportunity to give closer personal attention to t h e grading and packing than might be the case If the crop were handled as in peace times. For the grower who desires instructions in apple packing, the department of agriculture at W«Hhlngton has Information in bulletin form. These bulletins can be secured free by writing to the department Growers will do well to obtain a few copies for their pickers and packers.

Althoug the Hon betrayed very little Interest In the proceedings, the barber was obviously nervous, and. having lathered his man, made several nervous dabs at one cheek with the razor, keeping a weather eye on th*' wild beast.

PACKAGES ARE SHORT WEIGHT Michigan Consumers Said to Be De» fraudod of S50,000 a Year By Oleo Makers. Lansing. FYed Wood worth, sUte dairy and food coinoiiasioner, has decided to prosecute manufacturers of oleomargarine. aUo exposed them by an exhibit of 14 b r a n d s ^ o f short-weight ^packages at the Michigan state fair, and plan* a campaign of more publicity against them. Practically all packages of butter substitutes were found to be from an ounce to two ounces under weight. The manufacturers claimed that this was shrinkage due to cold storage. The state then bought 30 pounds of "oleo" and put it in eold storage. The entire 30 pounds shrunk but two ounces, showing that claims of two ounces shrinkage a pound are untrue. Michigan consumers are defrauded of 150,000 a year by oleomargarine manufacturers, according to Woodworth. He will not prosecute dealers, as they handle original packages. Guards Anxious to Move.

A Garfield. Its findings were submitted to and approved by President Wilson. Labor representatives on the committee voted first for $1.84 and the farmers for $2.50. After long discussion, the compromise at $2.20 was approved unanimously. On the basis of $2.20 at Chicago, the food administration worked out differentials for the various grades and classes and for the several terminals. The price fixed is 20 cents higher than that named for the 1918 crop by congress in the food control bill. The $2 price presented by congress was taken into consideration by the committee in considering a fair valuation for this year's crop. The committee, in its report to the president, gave as the three chief considerations that entered into its deliberations, the following: The fact that the United States is at war, the need of encouraging the producer, and the necessity of reducing the cost of living to the consumer. All members agreed in their discussions that the price fixed will permit of, a 14 ounce loaf of bread for 5 cents, allowing a fair profit both to the flour manufacturer and the baker. Although the prices are fixed on government purchases only, the food administration, through its wheat corporation, recently organized, expects to control the market without difficulty. The corporation will make all government and allied purchases and has under consideration plans to buy for millers. If it serves as broker between the terminal and the flour mills, the corporation will become purchaser of virtually all of the country's wheat crop. Millers say the government wheat price of $2.20 a bushel means $12.50 a barrel for flour in the middle west and $1.1 in the east. ROBBER BALKS 300 POLICEMEN U.

Shoots Three in Singtehanded Fight for Liberty. Chicago—One lone bandit, Edward i Wheede, alias the "Ammunition Kid," I wanted for participation in the Wins I low payroll robbery and murders, stood off 300 police for an hour in a cottage on Thomas street. Hundreds-of shots were exchanged while a thousand citizens watched the battle.- The bandit emptied an automatic into the ranks of the bluecoats with such skill and rapidity that three of the attackers fell wounded and the police believed they had a band of robbers surrounded. Wheede fired from almost every window in the house. At dusk the "Ammunition Kid'* darted from the bullet-riddled house and made a wild dash for safety. A dozen police hurled themselves upon him as his revolver .barked its last defiance. Then cautiously the police closed in on the cottage and found it empty. In the bottom of a market basket the police found $1,005, done up in parcels, untouched since they had been ripped from the hands of Barton Allen, one of the two men killed when the Winslow Brothers company was robbed of $8,100.

So far as the expert observer can see Into the near future of autumn costumery which is now being planned, shown and bought, the only actual elimination of material is in the width of the skirt. There is little sense iu being obstinate about the width of skirts; they're going to be narrow, and it is quite as well that dressmakers and women accept this fact without cavil. Once before In the history of clothes there was a tight skirt which was said to have been caused by the Civil war in America. It became the fashion after Appomattox and remained In fashion for a decade and a half afterward. It was also caused by the necessity for economy in material, as the four years' war had nearly exhausted the commodities of this country. That skirt was called the tie-back. The front and sides were pulled across the figure so that the wearer could barely step, and rubber bands were put across the back below the waistline, to draw the material up into a series of little puffs. This was as much of a bustle as was permitted. Persistence Is Amazing. The persistence of this fashion has been an amazing thing to those who study clothes. Its origin was in the This Sunflower Would Have Been Larger If All the Buds Had Been Cut Off As Soon as They Appeared. WORK AMONG THE FLOWERS By L I M A R. ROSE. The rex begonia may be propagated hy slashing the leaf several times across the ribs with a sharp knife, and laying it flat on the cutting box. If necessary, pin it down with toothpicks. The leaves will rot wherever the leaf has been slashed, and soon new plants will appear. ' Perennials sown in the summer should have developed Into good thrifty plants by this time. Plant where they are to bloom next summer, or pot for the window. Late In September pot the primroses and cineraria seedlings grown In frames. Do not allow them to become pot-bound until they are ready to flower. If the mignonette is your favorite flower, September is a good time to Insure a good supply for the holidays. Sow three or four seeds In thumb pots, and plunge them In a box of sand. Sow only the seeds of the large, flowering kind and thin to one plant in a pot. Repot when the pot Is full of roots until the plant Is established In five-inch pots. Secure all the fallen leaves you can, for they are invaluable about the garden. Use them as a mulch and protection for the flower beds and Individual plants and shrubs; bank pits, sold frames and hot beds with them. Pile them in a corner of the garden or bury them and make leaf mold. Store them near the chicken house, to be used for the scratching shed. If a plant looks sickly, do not at once begin to stimulate It with liquid fertilizer. Do not repot it until the the growth starts. Amateurs are liable to ;rlve too large pots. Wandering Jew, climbing nasturtimns. German Ivy. ground pine and forget- me-nots will grow very satisfactorily If the branches are cut and placed in water. They make novel show plant* for the winter garden. ABOUT LILIES By E. VAN B E N T H U Y 8 E N . If ordered early in September, lily bulbs will reach you any time from the latter part of the month until November ; and it is well to have the bed prepared In advance. Prepare the bed now, and as the season advances cover it with six inches of litter of any kind, and then if the bulbs do not come too late, the ground will be In condition to receive them when they do come. Again cover the ground with a litter, and In the early spring remove It. Lilies like a well-drained, moist soil, deep and well-worked over with fine, well-decayed manure. When the bulbs are set in the ground a handful of sand should be placed around each bulb and through this the root will reHCh the rich soil. In my garden I would have all the "lilies of the field" as well as those of the garden. But those of special notice where space and purse are limited, are the pure white madonna Illy, which blossoms In May or J u n e ; the Canada lily, which is found In our fields and Is bright crfmson in color, with dark spots, and blossoms in June or July; the coral'lily which comes to us in May; the longiflorum multl* florum, another pure white beauty. Then we have the spedosum, white with a green band running through the center; blood-red and white, the latter heavily spotted with darker crimson. The golden bunded Japanese lily is one of th«? handsomest and comes just when wo need it most, in late summertime. Itftif«t U l y . o f LHy. BUSTLE EFFFCT IN FALL STYLES m CROPS IN Here is an evening gown on early flemish lines. The material is heavy crepe satin, with girdle of cloth of gold. The bodice and train are embroidered in Flemish design. The lining of the train Is gold-brown velvet. fashionable way of walking called the Grecian bend, which was the absurd predecessor of the equally absurd debutante slouch. In the days of the tie-back skirt, little girls would secure safety pins by indirect means, and pull the fullness of their skirts back and up, thus having a little fluff of their own below the waist. They were always caught at this by their mothers and nurses, because the safety pins tore the material and made gaping holes. Again, In this day of elimination of waste through the necessities of war, we are to be put into the tight skirt with its fullness arranged at the back in a series of slight flares. It is not possible to say with nny degree of certainty whether this skirt will be widely accepted when the autumn comes. Reporting, and not prophecy, is the duty of those who tryto give the news of dress as It comes out week after week. The American designer, as well a* the French one, has gone In for this upward tilt of material at the end of the spine and it may be that the latea fashions will accentuate It. Whatever may be the fullness, though, at any special spot on the skirt those who are regarding the question of new clothe* moat remember that the hem will be almost a* narrow as it was In the days of the hobble aklrc— There is a marked tendency toward the sheath skirt in several of the new costumes. The material slinks Into the figure after it leaves the waist and the hem provides only a stepping width. The shortness of the skirt for street venr. Is necessary. 1» t»* spring here wn« a decided tendency to Mfc-iboti : aits, and many conservstive women adopted the futtkiou with enthusiasm, but if a skirt Is to be exceedingly narrow, it cannot be long. It would be too utterly Inconvenient for women who are plunged into a series of activities. Jackets of Two Kinds. It has already been announced that two kinds of Jackets will prevail in the autumn. One is hip-leugth and one la hem-length. The latter is called a polonaise and the former is called a jacket. The revival of the polonaise is merely a contribution to the fashion for top coats. One can use a polonaise over any kind of skirt and blouse, and if it is lined in the colorful and interesting way that prevulls among tailors today, it presents itself as a garment of rare merit. The short Jacket, however, as it will be worn this autumn, is a bit of costumery that is taken by the back of the neck and pulled out of the family album. ^rYhether or not the peculiar vaudeville trick of presenting a family album in song and living pictures, which has spread over New York through the success of one of the musical revues of the season, was the predecessor of this short, tight jacket, nobody can tell. It Is a far-fetched idea, no doubt, but don't you think it is rather interesting that the stage folk should get up a family album scene that runs through vaudeville fashions as dancing does, and. that, now, suddenly, that coat and skirt should be launched into costumery? One of these jackets which will undoubtedly prove a success because it has been Issued by a dominant house, has a little bustle all its own. It belongs to a skirt that is quite narrow, and it has a bit of an upward pull from knees to waistline at the back— a pull so slight that it is not always noticeable. The jacket fits the figure, curves into the waistline at the back and then flares out into a series of folds that give the bustle effect. It Is buttoned In a straight line down the front. There is a band of velvet above the hem of the coat. The buttons are covered with the wine-colored velour that makes the suit. The collar is very high, soft in its folds, rolls over backward to the neck line and Is trimmed with a band of velvet. Fasten From Chin to Hem. Revcrs are abandoned by the tailors and dressmakers. Where -one coat will have them, sixteen others will be fastened in a straight line from the chin to the lower edge. All the collars are high, but soft and enveloping the neck and chin in the manner that was considered correct in the eight eenth century. Mind you, this style is not the only powerful note in fashion that is brought out for jackets. It Is one of several other details, and a woman will have the chance to accept what she wishes. This latter situation will be the hope and the downfall of many women. Left to themselves to choose among a heterogeneous mass of material, the best minds will grow confused and go wrong. On the other hand, highly trained Judgment will give to women the chance to express their Individuality and look a little unlike their neighbors. It may be said, however, that the coat that fastens in a line down the front, the buttons running straight through the high, rolling collar, will be the most' noticeable change in street costumery that will take place In the fall. The narrow skirt has already been accepted here and there, and there are hundreds of women who have never given It up, so its widespread acceptance will not cause quite the same ripple of interest that will be given by this family album coat with its upward tilt at the back, its point In front Its long, slim waistline under the arms, and its row of colored buttons on which one will be tempted to say the old nursery rhyme, "Richman, poorman, beggarman, thief." (Copyrtg-ht, 1917, by the McClure Newspaper syndicate.) The Shirtwaist Dress. The shirtwaist dress, sometimes made of rub or shirting silk, again of crepe de chine and frequently of shirting flannel, is one of the favorites of the present season. No well-ordered wardrobe is considered complete without one of these charming little frocks, which are as attractive for simple- morning or porch wear as they are for tennis or other sport. Usually a striped weave Is selected, with collar and cuffs of white or plain blending color, giving a pretty trimming touch to the garment Obviously in the most useful type of shirtwaist dress, waist and skirt are securely joined, so there is no uncomfortable "slipping apart** no matter sow strenuous is the sport indulged is. Only a third of South America's population Is of pure whi'e bit**. Good Yields of Wheat, Splendid Production of Pork, Beef, Mutton and Wool. The latest reports givr an assurance of good grain crop* ihroughout most of Western Canada, where the wheat, oats and barley mx no.v being harvested, about ten da^s earlier than last year. Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are all "doing their bit" in a noble way towards furnishing food for the allies. While the total yield of wheat will not be as heavy as in VJ15, there are Indications that it will be an average crop in most of the districts. A letter received at the St. Paul office of the Canadtaa Government, from a farmer near Delia, Alberta, ways harvest in that district is one month earlier than last year. His wheat crop is estimated at 35 bushels per acre, while some of his neighbors will have more. The average in the district will be about 30 bushels per u<'re. Now. with the price of wheat in the neighborhood # f $ 2 per bushel, it is safe to say thatvthere will be very few farmers but will be able to bank from forty to fifty dollars per acre after paying all expenses of seeding, harvesting and threshing, as well as taxes. The price of land in this district is from $25 to $30 per acre. What may be said of this district will apply to almost any other In Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta. Many farmers have gone to Western Canada from the United States In the past three or four years, who having purchased lands, had the pleasure of completing the payments before they were due. They have made the money out of their crops during the past couple of years, and if they are as successful in the future as In the past they will have put themselves and their families beyond all possibility of lack of money for the rest of their lives. It Is not only in wheat that the farmers of Western Canada are making money. Their hogs have brought them wealth. and hogt are easy to raise there—barley is plentiful and grass abundant, and the climate Just the kind that hogs glory in. The price is good and likely to remain so for a long time. A few days since a farmer from Daysland, Alberta, shipped a carload of hogs to the St. Paul market, and got a higher price than was ever before paid on that market. Two million three hundred and seventy*seven thousand two hundred and fifty dollars was received at Winnipeg for Western hogs during the first six months of this year. 181,575 hogs were sold at nn average price of $15 per cwt., and had an average weight of 200 pounds each. The raising of hogs is a profitable and continually crowing industry of Western Canada. and this clnss o*f stock is raised as economically here as anywhere on the North American continent. There is practically no hog disease, and immense quantities of food can be produced cheaply. It has been told for years that the grasses of Western Canada supply to both beef and milk producers the nutritive properties that go to the development of both branches. The stories that are now being published by dairymen and be*f cattle men verify all the predictions that have ever been made regarding the country's importance in the raising of both beef and dairy cattle. The sheep Industry is developing rapidly. At a sale at Calgary 151,453 ponnds of wool were disposed of at sixty cents a pound. At a sale at Edmonton 60,000 pounds were sold at even better prices than those paid at Calgary. The total clip this season will probably approximate two million ponnds. Many reports are to hand showing from six to eight ponnds per fleece- 35 carloads were tent to the Torotto market a l o n e - Advertisement. Had Made Good Use of Time.

Nothing is better than milk on which to - raise thrifty, growing calves, whether they are intended for the dairy, the feed lot or the show ring. The ordinary farmer often finds milk too expensive as a calf feed. The following substitute la recommended by the Massachusetts Experiment station: Twenty-two pounds ground oats, ten pounds linseed meal, five pounds middlings, 11 pounds fine cornmeal, 1¾ pounds fine blood meal, onehalf pound salt. Total cost, three cents a pound. Prepare by adding one-half pound of meal to two quarts of. boiling water for each feed. At each feeding moisten the meal first with a little cold water to prevent it forming lumps, and then ponr on the boiling water, and stir well. When this is cooled down to the temperature of milk fresh drawn from the cow it Is ready to feed. It is better to let the calf have whole milk for abont^a week, then gradually introduce a little of the milk substitute for ten daj*s or two weeks, when yon can cut out the milk'entirely. As soon as the cnlf will eat, let It have hay and a little* of the meal dry, together with fresh water. Always have the calf meal mixture milkwarm when fed. * Have the buckets dean and do not overfeed. A young calf will usually liegtn to eat hay at about three weeks old. G. W.
