Thirty, five hundred chief cooks are being mobilized. They will average 226 to each camp. About 10,000 assistants will be employed to help the chefs, new tooks will be developed among the drafted men as they are needed. Estimated at 42 cents per day per tnan, it will cost the government $288, 540 a day to feed the "first 687,000. In the bill of fare is found the Sunday's breakfast, of cantelope, oatmeal with •agar, hot biscuit and fried pork sau- - sage and coffee. Dinner—vegetable soup with croutons veal a la Creole, boiled rice and fresh string beans, lettuce, salad, ice cream and cake, bread, ice water. Supper—potato salad* bread, jam, iced tea, veal croquets. This menu holds up in quantity and quality straight through the week. It is not intended, said an official, that a bill of fare be blindly followed but might be used as a guide to variety quantity and costs in the localitea where troops may be stationed. The supper meal is purposely stated 1 light to give the cooks an opportunity to use left over food for hash, hot pies, croquettes, and the like. We shall teach OIK cooks that a clean kitchen and dining hall are indispensible to a successful mess, and the men in trainining will be asked to co-operate to this end.

MANY PROTESTS CAUSE CHANGE .^•-mmmm i ^ M M f e A SCRAP FfiOM A LETTER HOME * *» If Wife or Childrt^i Are Dependent On Man's Earnings for Support He Will Be Discharged. Washington—President WilBon Saturday ruled that wives of men selected la the draft should not, because they had employment before marriage, be thrown upon their own resources or upon charity of their own or their husband's parents for. support. He ordered that all men upon whose labors their wives or children depend entirely for support should be exempt. His action was taken in response to nation-wide protests against the interpretation placed on the draft law by Provost Marshal, Gen. Crowder's office that a woman whose parents or whose husband's parents were able and willing to support her and her children, or who was qualified to gain her own support, should be thrown upon those resources and her husband sent to war. Provost marshal Crowder explained that part of the law pertaining to dependents, as follows: "It means," he said, "that if a man has been dependent for the support of his family not on his own efforts and labor, but on the assistance which was given him by his own or his wife's parentB, he will not be subject to exemption. But if his wife and his children if any, are dependent upon his own earnings for their support whether either has parents able to support the wife and children, he will be discharged. "It must be understood, however, that this does not apply if part of his income on which he supports his wife and children is/derived from a continuing source—that is a legacy, an estate, land holdings, stocks, bonds or similar holdings, the income from which would continue to flow in to the wife during his absence and adequately support her. The same is true if she has such a source of income. "But, if the livelihood of the woman and children, if any, depends entirely or principally upon the man's earnings, he is subject to discharge."

Lansing.—Every man who gains • exemption from army selection * should be sure of his ground, for * it is not only the drafted man * who can appeal when he is taken, * but the government automatically "• appeals the case whenever an ex- * emption is granted. * If a man is granted exemption * by the local division board he is * not yet free from liability to serv- * ice, and the government may at * any time call him back to prove * his case. * Washington—Construction of three enormous government-owned fabricating plants will be undertaken at once by the United States to add to her great merchant fleet, now being built is private yards. Approximately $35,000,000 will be expended for yard building. More than $500,000,000 will be devoted to construction of the vessels. Hundreds of vessels of from 5,000 to 7,500 tons each are planned. Yards will be located as follows: One at Newark, N. J., which the American international corporation will construct for at least 200 vessels; one at Hog island, near Philadelphia, where the submarine boat company will do the work, and the- third at Chester, Pa., to be built by the Merchants Shipbuilding company. All vessels in these three yards will be in addition to those on private ways recently commandeered by the government and the ships to be constructed at plants owned by private interests. Houston. Texas—Blanket charges of murder were filed by District Attorney John Crocker against 34 Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fourth infantry, held in the county jail as a result of the rioting last Thursday night, in which 17 persons, four of them city police officers, were slain. This was the first move indicative of an attempt by the state to retain custody of the soldiers rather than turn them over to the army for punishment. As a result of the riot the Negro battalion was ordered by the war department to return at once to their station at Columbus. New Mexico, One hundred twenty-five Negroe soldiers were Involved in the rioting. The trouble started when a report was circulated that one of the men had been shot and killed by a white policeman. When night came the troopers broke into the supply house, took rifles and ammunition and started to shoot up the town. Public feeling in Houston run high because of the savageness displayed by the Nogroes toward, the white police officers, who were killed. Bodies in nearly every instance had been hacked with bayonets. Among the Illinois guardsmen also much feeling was evident because of the mutilation of Captain Joseph Mattes, one of the first to be slain by the rioters. Mattes, disabled by a rifle ball, was attacked by the Negroes and his body hacked and stabbed with bayonets until it was practically unrecognizable, i SENDING MAIL TO SOLDIERS How Letters for the Boys in Camps Should Be Addressed. Washington—Before long several thousand young men will be in the various cantonment camps of the National army, and their relatives and other friends will wish to write to them. In order to expedite the delivery of their mail and give the boys the best service possible, the postoffice officials instruct their correspondents, if they know in advance the company and regiment to which the soldier is assigned, to address mail according to this sample. PRIVATE JOHN JONES, A Company, First Infantry, Camp Dodge, Iowa. If the company and regiment are not known, the mail should be addressed thus. PRIVATE JOHN JONES, of Minnesota, Camp Dodge, Iowa. When all troops are organized the mail for each man will be distributed direct to his company and regiment. Until then it will be delivered through his state section. CALL SECOND ARMY W SPRING Not Likely That Next Call Will Come This Year—All Camps Tilled. Washington—Provost Marshal General Crowder sent to governors of states an order changing the proportion of the various state quotas of men, selected for the national army, that are required to be furnished on certain dates. The new order calls for 5 per cent of each state's quota to report at cantonments September 5; 40 per cent September 19, 40 per cent October 3, and the remaining 15 per cent as soon thereafter • as practicable. Reasons for the change were given by General Crowder as follows: "In announcing the decision to mobilize only 5 per cent of the national army on September 5 instead of 30 per cent, the opportunity is taken to give to local and district boards the credit due them for the overwhelming amount of work they have accomplished in scrutinizing the thousands of cases that it was" necessary for them to examine in order to have 30 per cent of their quota ready September 5. "Reports received from practically every state in the union show that every state would have ready much more than 30 per cent of its quota September 5 and the majority of them would have been ready with their entire quotas on that date. This service has required a month of the most exacting work on the part of boards. This work was consummated under adverse conditions and is in large part uncompensated. "It stands as one of the most significant expressions of substantial patriotism and devotion on the part of 15,000 men selected from among t h e r e a t citizens of the country. Wish to Conserve Traffic. "In order that it may not be necessary to make any special railway arrangements and to prevent a congestion of normal railway traffic, local boards should be instructed to send approximately 1 per cent of their quotas on each of five successive days, beginning September 5."

Now hi two Detroit—No married woman shall be , forced to labor to support herself by reason of selection of her husband for ! the national army. This is not an absolute rule of the district draft board for Detroit and Highland Park, but it has been laid down as a general proposition. The local boards had held that where a wife was childless, healthy and able to work, the husband had no ! claim for exemption. The district board held that self-support is not the wife's natural sphere, and therefore she is dependent. The board will follow this precedent as a general rule only. Bach case will [ be decided upon its merits and there- i fore no hard and fast rule has been; promulgated. Men married since the draft law went into effect will not, however, be' exempted There may be exceptions,1 but the "general proposition" that! wives acquired since the draft law was i announced will not be recognised in exemption claims is as near to a hard ) and fast rule as the board has yet | coma. Washington.—A full statistical report on the operations of the draft law will be prepared by the provost marshal general's office as soon as the mobilization of the first increment of 637,000 men of the national army has been completed, some time early in October. Pending the preparation of the report, no steps- toward calling a second increment to the colors will be taken. The first increment will fill all the training areas—16 national guard camps and 16 national army cantonments— to capacity, and there will be a surplus of men beside those assigned to the regular army. It is regarded unlikely that organization of an additional 500,000 men of the national army can be begun until the early spring of 1918. Neither quarters nor personnel to train the force will be available before that time. Battle Creek, Mich.—Army officials reserve the right to change their minds. Witness, the announcement received at Camp Custer that 15,000 uniforms are on their way from Washington and drafted soldiers will not be required to drill in citizens' clothes, as given out several days ago. The uniforms will be of the winter variety, no summer clothes to be given out until 1918. but it is intimated they will include raincoats, overcoats and campaign hats, instead of caps. The uniforms are promised now for September 1, four days before the first 12,000 men arrive. SHRAPNEL SHELL KILLS TWO Explodes While Soldiers Are Cooking First Meal at Training Camp.

You would not think one could find enough native bulbs to stock a garden, bnt every year I discover some new ones and have high hope for future researches. The first thing that opens in my wild garden la the Iris. Our mountain sides are covered with it In the spring, and the flower stalks on the mountain are seldom more than seven or eight inches high, but mine are much taller and the purple flowers very much larger. Dog-tooth violet comes next, and is one of my prime favorites. 1 departed from my usual rule and planted the bulbs in a large jar, which was sunk in the earth and ftlled with a rich soil of creek loam, leaf mold and fertilizer from the barn. The flowers are much larger than those I found growing by the brook two years ago. The leaves are very handsome, rich, dark green, mottled curiously with dark brown and white. The flower is a clear lemon yellow tinge, with recurved petals about two Inches long and dark brown 'stamens. Besides white and yellow water lilies, I have two others that are natives. One, a delicate little white beauty, .that Is called the "fairy lily," the other larger, blooming in early spring and sending up a leafless flower stalk. It Is also white in color. My wake-robins and lady slippers also come on early, In colors pink, white, pale yellow and rich purple. The violet wood sorrel is quite as pretty as Its haughty greenhouse kinsfolk, Its flowers being of a deep violet color Instead of reddish purple, and its leaves dark green with a deep chocolate sone. I have sometimes succeeded in getting the anemone to grow, 6ut one variety only likes me well enough to lr»e through the winter. Buttercups fjrow for me without any trouble, and i ha\M some qne^r little bulbs which the colored folks call "Adam and Eve." They huve no bloom but the dark green leaves with maroon linings are very pretty. The bulbs are pearly white and look as If they might be good to eat! If you put them in water those that float are Adams and those that sink are Eves! Over in his dark, damp den of a corner, covered with wild clematis and wild passion flower, looms up a giant Jack-ln-the-Pulplt. He scorns to be called Indinn turnip, and much prefers thHt you should note the resemblance between his purplish-black and yellow striped spathe and the queenly callu. In the late autumn when the clematis festoons his pulpit with cream-colored sprays, the spathe will be gone and in its place Vill flame 9 spike of scarlet berries.

Lillian's father had been traveling for his health and the little girl hadn't seen him for a year. When he went away he was thin and pale and wore a Vandyke beard and a mustache.

The skirt is of cyclamen tuile, accordion pleated, with garland of embroidery and formal bouquets. The bodice and eash are of black satin. of Paris. It was only natural that the American people should feel that the outbreak of the war in France would stop all the wheels of her commerce in clbthes and that the other countries would be compelled to go on their own. It would take us a century to accomplish what we now buy from Paris In a week. We are too canny to give up the best source of fashion on the planet for no reason whatever. If we | 8 n ° u l d ^0 , had to depend on our own creations for the commerce In clothes, threequarters of the firms engaged in this Industry would fall within two years. It Is a happy piece of news to report In support of this outlined sentiment that the shipments of costumes from France which will take place this fall will be as heavy as in normal times. The number of buyers who have gone abroad has been'reduced, on account of volunteering, conscription and changes, therefore, in the personnel of many business houses, but the resident buyers and the Important representatives for groups of houses have been able to transact the expected business. W h c e America Comet In. So much for Paris. But, with all that she will do, the war places an Important task on American women. Never before in the history of commerce In clothes has this especial demand been made upon them. It Is 1 this: they must work out their own j salvation. Our heads of shops and dressmaking houses are far from being aids to the dumb. They must sell what they have bought and made and they have rarely studied the needs of the Individual. The buyers who went to Paris in other days haunted the fashionable places where the women of pleasure and power foregathered. These women made and marred the fashions put but by the designers. When our buyers saw that these leaders were featuring certain fashions they brought them home for the American. But, and this is the new situation, the women here are now confronted with the fact that thousands of new costumes will soon be unpacked from the boxes that brought them over the ocean, and as they were chosen from whatever the French houses had to offer, it will be our part to select from that heterogeneous mass that which brings out our special type and suits our environment This is sane and sensible wartime adjustment of one's times and income, and possibly the lesson may be so thoroughly learned and digested that it win prove to be a lasting benefit to the national community. Make a Study of Clothes. This will be really the millennium in drass Paris, the center of art in the world, creates from a point in air, as the engineers say, and from the mass of material aha sands we choose a thousand different types of costumes If wa wish, l o o k a bit Into the history of each ceattase. as Paris does, and swer Is In the negative, don't let anyone persuade you to buy It. Wheu the ships that dodge the manmade shurks of the sea bring to us these cases of silks, brocades, metalB, embroideries uud velvets fashioned for the American woman, we will see that these clothes are the heirs to all the ages. China will dominate some bits of costurnery, the influence of Napoleon will be there, the Russian Coaaacks who threw themselves before the retreating Kieventh army In Gallcia will be another motive for certain cut and color, and the recent exhibition of French clothes in Madrid Is reflected in the things that were brought out of Sptfin. Not only will different countries be represented In the medley of costumery that Is coming to us, but various epochs in the history of places, especially of France—the First Empire, the Consulate, the swirling and transparent draperies made famous by Mine. Tallien, the Queen of Shreds and Patches, as she was nicknamed, the biblike panels of embroidery worn by the queen of Roumanla when she arrayed herself in the native costumes. The polonaise will be revived from that day when the predecessor of Rose Berttin, who gowned Marie Antoinette, made fashionable the striking garment worn by the Polish princess, Marie, whom Louis XV made queen of France. Those Chinese wraps and sleeves and tassels worn by the noblemen who represented Pekin as the first embassy sent from China to France are recalled into the new fashions because China is with France and is fighting, as she fought, to be a republic. Rakish Continental Hat. The green coque feathers flaunting from new hats have been borrowed from the hats of the sharpshooters, the bersagllerl of Italy, because the fighters of the Vosges and the Alpine passes have a comradeship. The rakish continental hat was included in the fashions because the land of that George Washington whom General Lafayette came to assist is spreading her soldiers over the pleasant valleys of the sister republic and sending her huge guns to protect the Road of Ladies as all gentlemen, good and true, The pinched-in crown and the rollicking brim have been Included in the most fashionable hats because these One of the new autumn suits In green valour with turned-up hem en coat and wide girdle forming sash In front soldiers have been smiled at and, some say, kissed by the midinettes as they strolled the boulevards at noon hour. Why try to outline the conglomeration of episodes that are reflected in these autumn clothes that we will soon be asked to buy and mold to our individuality?

Tarbell tells of her exp'-nem e oa a Chautauqua circuit in western Pennsylvania, central Ohio awl Michigan. "We came to know almost us won as we reached a new place whether the town was dry or noi," she any*. "A town that hud been dry over a period of a dozen years had a triiimews about the streets and buildings, a look of freshness and energy about young people and old which Mood out in almost incredible contrast to what v*e found in the wet town of the same hiite. We went to one town in Ohio which had been dry for 31 years, so the hotelkeeper told me. He claimed to be u much-traveled person, and said that in all the many towns which he hud known intimately, he had never found one In which there was such a fine lot of young people as here. In health, In vigor, In Intiative, he believed that the young men and women, particularly of the working classes, were tremendously ahead of the same group In the towns where liquor was freely displayed." BEER NOT COOLING. Dr. W. A. Evans, conductor of the Chicago Tribune's health column, aud a man of high rank in his profession. Kives the following facts: All kinds of beer contain eighttenths of an ounce of alcohol, equivalent to nearly a tablespoonful of whisky. While fold beer tastes cool and pleas* ant to a hot man, it does not cool him off; It heats him up. The alcohol and solids will bring Increased heat. The effect of alcohol is to induce n excess of blood to the skin. Whenever a large amount of blood roes to the skin, it causes a feeling of teat. When a man drinks beer, he oau*e* llmself to feel hot. He also actually Increases his bodily heat. He increases his chance of sunstroke •at least a hundred per cent. MORE IN W E T T H A N IN DRY. The liquor Interests would have the public believe that prohibition increases the number of illicit stills. What does the Internal revenue office say about it? The figures for the year ending June 30, 1916, show that the number of moonshine plants seized was 3,286, or M6 fewer than in the year 1915—in spife of the fact that dry terdltnrv has been steadily Increasing. Not a single illicit still was reported for seizure in the prohibition states of Arizona, Dakota, Oregon or Washington. There were only six in Mississippi, four In Arkansas, nnd nix in West Virginia. More gallons of illicit whisky were seized in any one of the wet states of Illinois. Kentucky. Massachusetts, Ohio and Pennsylvania than in any prohibition state. GENERAL PER8HINQ'S BLOW. Gen. J. J. Pershing, commander of the first United States troops to go to the battle front in France, is an ardent advocate of prohibition. Pershing's punitive expedition into Mexico was, to quote a writer in the New York tribute, "the driest body of troops that ever marched. It traveled absolutely on the water wagon, and the going was hard. Some of those soldiers went into Mexico soft and moderately runvsoaked. But they came out lean, clear-eyed and hard as nails. The sanitary corps reports on that expedition will show some wonderful results. Despite the hardships of the first rush, the sick reports were startlingly- meager," 8ALOONS ROB CHILDREN. W. H. Rice, a veteran circus man, recently put out a chart showing comparative figures of his earnings in typical cities while they were wet, and after they became dry, Decatur, 111., wet, gave him $3,2X1; dry, $8£80. Bloomington, 111., wet, 15327; dry, $9,- 403. Boise, Idaho, wet, $5,7W; dry, $10,811. Spokane, Waalu, wet, $6£00; dry, $11,582. Seattle, wet, $3,128; dry, $6,710; Portland, Ore^ wet, $3,284; dry, $8,426. Average—wet, $4,468; dry, $8,708. Prohibition means more surplus money in the family and more happiness for the children.

"Oh, I've been napping there In that chair, where I could keep one eye on you. I'm terribly selfish ; I can't bear to lose one minute." After a while she said : "I've made a discovery. Father O'Malley snores dreadfully 1 Juanlto never heard anything like It, and it frightened him nearly to death. He says the father must be a very fierce man*to growl so loudly. He says, too, that he likes me much better than his mother." It seemed to Dave that the bliss of this awakening and the sweet Intimacy of this one moment more rewarded him for all he had gone through. "I've been busy, too," she was saying. "I sent Juan to the village to learn the news, and It's not very nice. It's good we stopped here. He says Neuvo Pueblo has been destroyed, and the federal forces are all moving south, away from the border. So our troubles aren't over yet. We must reach the river tonight." "Yes, by all means." "Juan is going with us as guide." "You arranged everything while 1 snoozed, eh? I'm fiBhamed of myself." AJaire nodded, then pretended to frown darkly. "You ought to be," she told him. "My wife I" He laid his lips against her hair. They were standing beside the window, speechless, oblivious to all except their great love, when Dolores entered to tell them that supper was ready and that the horses were saddled. CHAPTER XXV. The Dawn. Juan Garcia proved to be a good guide, and he saved the refugees many miles on their road to the Klo Grande. But every farm and every village was a menace, and at first they were forced to make numerous detours. As the night grew older, however, they rode a stralghter course, urging their horses to the limit, hoping against hope to reach the border before daylight overtook them. This they might have done had It not been for Father O'Malley and Dolores, who were unused to the saddle and unable to maintain the pace Juan set for them. About midnight the party stopped on the crest of a flinty ridge to give their horses breath and to estimate their progress. The night was fine and clear; Outlined against the sky were the stalks of countless sotol-plants standing slim and bare, like the upright lances of an army at rest; ahead the road meandered across a mesa, covered with grama grass and black, formless blots of shrubbery. Father O'Malley groaned and shift* ed his weight. "Juan tells me we'll never reach Romero by morning, at this rate," he said; and Dave was forced to agree. "I think you and he and Alaire had better go on and leave Dolores and me to follow as hest we can." Dolores plaintively seconded this suggestion. "I would rather be burned at the stake than suffer these agonies," she confessed. "My bones are broken. The devil is In this horse." She began to weep softly. "Go, senora. Save yourself I It is my accursed fat stomach that hinders me. Tell Benito that 2 perished breathing his name, and see to I t when he remarries, that he retains none of my treasures." Alaire reassured her by saying: "We won't leave you. Be brave and make the best of i t " "Yea, grit your teeth and hold on," Dave echoed, "Well manage to make it somehow." Bat progress was far slower than it should have been, and the elder woman continued to lag behind, voicing her distress In groans and lamentations. The priest who was made of sterner stuff, did his best to bear his tortures cheerfully. In spite of their efforts the first rosy herald of dawn discovered them still a long way from the river and just enterlag a more thickly settled country. Daylight came swiftly, and Jnan finally gave them warning. "We can't go on; the danger is too great," he told them. "If the soldiers are still in Romero, what then?" "Have yon no friends hereabouts who would take us InT Dave inquired. The Mexican shook his head. Dave considered for a moment T o n a w t kid* here," he told his compan- "while I ride on to Romero and what can be done. I suspect !*• troops have left and In that e m j thing will be all right" they h a T e n t r Alaire la- • 0 light she had been in the fused to luke their perils seriously. Now her smile chased the frown from her husband's face. "Well, perhups I'll have breakfast with them," he laughea. "Silly. I won't let you go," she told him, firmly ; and, reading the expression In her face, he felt a dizzy wonder. "We'll find a nice secluded spo,t; then we'll alt down and wait for night to come. We'll pretend we're having a picnic." Dolores sighed at the suggestion. "That would be heaven, but there can be no sitting down for me." Garcia, who had been standing in his stirrups scanning the long, hat road ahead, spoke sharply: "Caramba! Here come those very soldiers now! See!" Far away, but evidently approaching at a smart gait, was a body of mounted men. After one look at them Dave cried: "Into the brush, quick I" He hurried his companions ahead of him, and when they had gone perhaps a hundred^ yards from the road he took Juan's repeater, saying: /'Ride in a little way farther and wait. I'm going back. If you hear me shoot, break for the river. Ride hard and keep under cover as much as possible." Before they could remonstrate he had wheeled MontTosa and was gone. This was luck, he told himself. Ten miles more and they would have been. safe, for the Rio Grande is not a difficult river either to ford or to swim. He dismounted and made his way on foot to a point where he could command a view, but he had barely established himself when he found Alaire at his side. "Go back," he told her. But she would not, and so they waited together. There were perhaps a dozen men in the approaching squad, and Dave saw that they were heavily accoutred. They and had steadily He Took Her Hand in His and They Rode on 8ilently, a Song in the Heart of Each of Them. , rode fast, too, and at their head gaS loped a large man under a widebrimmed felt h a t It soon became evident that the soldiers were not uniformed. Therefore, Dave reasoned, they were not federals, hut more probably some rebel scouting band from the south, and yet— He rubbed his eyeB and" stared again. Dave pressed forward eagerly, Incredulously; the next Instant he had broken cover with a shout Alaire was at his side, clapping her hands and laughing with excitement The cavalcade halted; the big man tumbled from his saddle and came straddling through the high grass, waving his hat and yelling, "Blaze! Tou old scoundrel!" Dave cried, and seized one of the ranchman's palms while Alaire shook the other. "Sayl We're right glad to see yonall," Jones exclaimed. "We reckoned yon might be havin a sort of unpleasantness with Longotio, so we organised up and came to get yon." The other horsemen were crowding close now, and their greetings were noisy. There were the two Guzman boys, Benito Gonzales, Phil Strange, and a number of Jonesvllle's younger and more adventurous citizens. In the midst of the tumult Benito inquired for his wife, and Dave relle d his anxiety by calling Dolores and * ather O'Malley. Then, in answer to the questions showered upon him, he swiftly sketched the story of Alalre's rescue and their flight from La Feria. When he had finished Blase Jones drew a deep breath. "We're mighty glad you got out safe, but you're kicked the legs from under one of my net asabttlona. I sure had planned to a m Leagocto's hide on any ham door. Tea, airt you'Ti^tilen the bread oat of the mouths of ihe spuce writers and sob Bisters from here to Hudson's bay. Mlz Austin, your picture's In every newspaper In the country, and, believe me, It's the worst atrocity of the war." "Warl" Father O'Malley had Joined the group now, and he asked, "Hay wur been declared?" "Not yet, but we've got hopes." To Alulre Blaze explained: "Ellsworth's In Washington, wuviu' the Stars and Stripes and singln' battle hymns, but 1 reckon the government figures that the original of these newspaper pictures would be safe anywhere. Well, we've got our own ideas In Jonesville, so some of us assembled ourselves and declared war on our own hook. These gentlemen"—Blaze waved his hand proudly at his neighbors—"constitute the Jonesville Quarda, the finest body of American men that has Invaded Mexican soil since me and Dave went after Rlcardo Guzman's remains. Blamed if I ain't sorry you sidetracked our expedition." It was evident, from the words of the others, that the Jonesville Guards were Indeed quite as heedless of International complications as was their commander. One and all were highly incensed at Longorlo's perfidy, and, had Alaire suggested such a thing, It was patent that they would have ridden on La Feria and exacted a reckoning from him. Such proof of friendship affected her deeply, and It was not until they were all under way back toward Romero that she felt she had made her appreciation fully known. When she reflected that these men were some of the very neighbors whom she had shunned and slighted, and whose honest Interest she had so habitually misconstrued all these years, It seemed very strange that they should feel the least concern over her. It gave her a new appreciation of their chivalry and their worth; It filled her with a humble desire to know them better and to strengthen herself In their regard. Then, too, the esteem in which they held Dave—her husband—gratified her intensely. It made no more difference to them than to her that he was a poor man, a man without authority or position; they evidently saw and loved In him the qualities which she saw and loved. And that was as It should be. They were gentle and considerate men, too, as she discovered when they told her, bit by bit, what had happened during her absence. She learned, much to her relief, that Ed's funeral had been held, and that all the distressing details of the Inquiry had been attended to. Jose Sanchez, It appeared, had confessed freely. Although her newfriends made plain their Indignation at the manner of Ed's taking away, they likewise let her know that they considered his death only a slight loss, either to her or to the community. Not one of them pretended it was anything except a blessing. i The Journey drew to an end very quickly. Romero, deserted now by its garrison, stirred and stared sleepily at the invaders, but concerned Itself with their presence no more than to wonder why they laughed and talked so spiritedly. Plainly, these gringos were a barbarous race of people, what with their rushing here and there, and with their loud, senseless laughter. God had wisely placed them beyond the Klo Grande, said the citizens of Romero. The crossing was made; Alaire found herself in Texas once again, and It seemed to her that the sun had never been so bright, the air so clear, the sky so high, the world so smiling, as here and now. The men who had ridden forth to seek her were smiling, too, and they were shaking her hands and congratulating her. Even the Guzman boys, who were shy in the presence of American ladies, were wishing her the best of fortune and the greatest of happiness. Blaze Jones was the last to leave. With especial emphasis upon her name, she said: "Mlz Austin, Paloma and me would like to have you come to out house and stay until you feel like goln' back to Las Palmas." When Alaire declined with moistened eyes, explaining that she could not well accept his invitation, he signified his understanding. "We're goin' to see a lot of you, Just the same," he promised her, *' 'cause we feel as if you sort of belonged to us. There's a lot of good people in this part of Texas, and them that ain't so good, God and the rangers is slowly weedln' out. We don't alwayj know the ones we like best until something happens to 'em, but If you'd heard the prayers the folks of Jonesville have been sayin' lately you'd know you was our favorite." Then, with a meaning twinkle In his eye, he told her, gravely: "It seems a pity that I ain't younger and better-lookln'. I would sure cut short your grief." Then he raised his hat and rode away, chuckling. Alaire turned to Dave tn dismay. •'He knows!" she cried. "I'm afraid they all know. But don't worry; they'll respect our wishes." Father O'Malley had ridden on ahead with Benito and Dolores; Dave and Alaire followed leisurely. Now that" the moment of their parting was at hand, they lingered by the way, delaying it as long as possible, feeling a natural constraint at what was in their minds. "How long—will It be?" he asked her, finally. "How long before I can really have you for my own?" Alaire smiled into his eyes. "Not long. But you'll be patient, won't you, dear?" He took her hand In his and they rode on silently, a song In the heart of each of them. (THE END.) WOMAN NOW IN PERFECTHEALTH What Came From Reading a Pinkham Advertisement Paterson, N.

THIS SEAL HAD CURIOSITY * - Mammal Got Into Trouble Through Nosing Around Too Promiscuous* ly Among 8trangers. SeaU are very plentiful among the Orkneys, and are sometimes caujjhi when asleep on the skerries. They are attracted by musical sounds, and at one time a considerable number were said to make their appearance in the bay of Hoy when the beil of the parish church close by was rung. Seals are usually much on their guard against the approach of men, but when unmolested frequently come close to boats or people ashore. An Instance of this occurred recently off Skralll bay, in Sand wick, where some yawls were at haddock fishing, a writer in the Edinburgh Scotsman says. A seal made Its appearance, and showed great curiosity as to what was going on. It swam repeatedly betweeu two boats a abort distance apart, and ultimately devoted its attention to one of them, diving under the boat and coming np first on one side and then on the other. At last it made a spring at a Hah which was being hauled out of the water on a band line. It failed to get a proper hold, but the fish was thrown back to afford another chance, which the seal quickly seised. It kept so near that eventually one of the fishermen got hold of Its tail, and by the •eaietanre of another It was taken Into the boat It was a yoang erne, about three feet la length. It did not wmm to appreciate oner until the fishing ceased, and then taken ashore. Subsequently the seal was restored to its native element, which it seemed to appreciate all the more after its detention. Trial by Ordeal In Early Days. Trial by ordeal goes back to earliest days, and in the Book of Numbers there is a case recorded of a Hebrew woman having been required to submit to a test. Among the Hindus the ordeal has been practiced by fire, by water, by poison or drinking water In which deities had been washed, by chewing rice, by hot oil, by red-hot Iron, and by drawing two Images out of a Jar. Livingstone described the practice as being common among all negro races north of the Zambesi, the natives having the greatest faith in its efficacy.

Miss Lena Ashwell, the distinguished London actress, who has been giving a number of dramas and Shakespearean plays to soldiers at the front, waxes eloquent upon her strange and wonderful auditory. "No Tommy is stodgy, as a West end audience* is," she remarks. "Every performance was a Joy." The Tommies show their devotion in all sorts of ways. Some Tommies, hearing she was coming, built her scenery out of odds and ends of canvas and wood, painted red and yellow, exactly like the framework of a Punch and Judy show. Another group of men, working with the forage supplies in Rouen, on the railway side, where there is scarcely any blooms of any sort, managed to get her a little tight bunch of flowers, arranged with a bit of paper like an old-fashioned bouquet. Still another devoted- group gave her a little box of silver, beautifully chased. But what she treasures most is a lucky beau. The young soldier who gave it to her stood grasping her hands in the dark, saying blunderingly that he had been eleven months in the trenches and that she could not imagine what it meant to him to see a lady. much less hear her speak; that this bean had been all over the world with him and had brought him good luck-rv he hadn't been wounded yet—and nowhe wanted her to have i t The boy wai[ simply giving her everything.

I read of a case similar to mine that had been relieved by Tanlac so I got a bottle and never in all ray life have I seen anything like the way it took hold of my troubles. Why, I began to feel better before I had taken half the first bottle and now I can eat anything I want and it all agrees with me. I don't have .any trouble with gas and all those headaches are gone. I 8leep like a healthy child and I seem to be able to work better without getting tired like I did before. In fact, I have been entirely relieved of all my troubles and I wouldn't be without Tanlac for anything and be like I was a few months ago." There is a Tanlac dealer in your town.—Adv. Lost Hie Protection. A Kansas Clt^y man, who la very active in the affnira of his lodge, was passing the week-end at Excelsior Spring, a near-by mineral water resort, lie coniided to a friend that he would like to scrape an acquaintance with a striking-looking woman they were both admiring. "Why don't you try?" asked the friend. "Couldn't think of flirting with her," came the horrified reply. "Her husband and i are brother lodge members." The next week-end the friend again went to the springs. In one of the prominent promenades he soon saw ihe l'ld^e member and the strlking- !ooklii4 woman they had admired, wulki ,g arm in arm, and apparently much taken up with each other. At the first chance he asked hTs friend for an explanation. "Thought her husband was a lodge brother of yours," he said. "Oil. that's nil right," was the answer.

This will cost very little but will positively remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. A few drops of this new ether compound applied directly upon a tender, aching corn relieves the soreness instantly, and soon the entire corn or callus, root and all, dries up and can be lifted off with the fingers. This new way to rid one's feet of corns was introduced by a Cincinnati man, who says that freezone dries In a moment, and simply shrivels up the com or callus without irritating the surrounding skin.

Lansing;. Michigan's war preparation* have so far cost the state $319,210.01. The legislature placed $6,000,000 at the disposal of the war board. The important items follow: War preparedness board, $8,458; food preparedness board, $27,208; Michigan state troops, $112,754; state naval brigade, $4,869; Michigan national guard, $63,414; Grayling military reservation, $49,901; home guards, $2,- 812; dependents relief, $6,055; registration and draft boards, $2,635; Selfridge aviation field road, $40,049; women's war committee, $€28; Battle Creek cantonment road, $367. Of these amounts, it ia expected that eventually the state will be reimbursed by the federal government for expenditures on the naval brigade and national guard, which went for equipment the federal government did not have; on the military reservation and for the draft and registration boards. Clothing for Guard Below Par. New clothing issued to the national guard at Grayling is reported as of very Inferior quality. In the last lot distributed the quality and make of the clothing varied to such an extent that breeches, made of one material in front and another behind, were found. Yet these breeches were in boxes which bore the names of government inspectors. The cotton breeches used by the army, and issued on the border last year, were of good, heavy cloth. In some cases the dyes were inferior, but this did not interfere with the wear. In this issue the breeches ran from the old serviceable material to breeches of cloth lighter than that used in boy scout uniforms and therefore practically useless in the field. There were many shades. Defective workmanship was not confined to the breeches. The woolen shirt must stand hard wear. In this issue there were shirts rotten with shoddy. The packing cases showed that these had been inspected, yet there were shirts on which the elbow protection was In front. Light wool socks are another necessity for infantry. A soldier cannot wear a sock in which there is a hole or a sock that has been darned. This rule is imperative because of the value of the men's feet. In this issue there were some excellent socks, made by a nationally known firm. But the socks were not all of this same make, so while some of the men drew socks that wear twice as long as ordinary stockings, other got some of poor material. On the whole, however, the socks were far ahead of the shirts or breeches. Shoes were unusually good, being of finest quality leather, selling at retail from $7 to $8 a pair. They were charged to the men at $2.81 a pair. Underwear ran about the same as the socks. Some was extra good and some was not. Budget Board to Conduct Audit. The bogle men of the budget commission have their plans all laid to swoop down on every state department after September 1 and Investigate Its system of spending money. For years expense accounts of employes who are kept on the road has been one of the sticking points for the state officials. W h e n it is remembered that each circuit judge who travels has to have his expense account audited by the state beard of auditors, and when it is noted *hat the same board with the same set of rules also gets the account of the man who goes out to examine sheep, the range of expenses can easily be seen. Certain fixed expenses for each day, for hotels, meals, etc., have been in vogue for years, and they have always caused a kick. Some of the state departments insist that their representatives have to go to the best hotels to "make s front." Then again certain depart* ments, whose expenses are directly paid from fees have insisted that inasmuch as they got t h e money why shouldn't they spend it aa they pleased without the O.

Soldiers have to do their own mending, when it is done at all, and it appears— although few persous would have guessed it—that the thoughtful war office supplies them with outfits for that purpose. Otherwise, this joke from the Journal of the American Medleal association would be impossible: Everything was ready for kit inspection ; the recruits stood lined up ready for the officer, and the officer had his bad temper all complete. He marched up and down the line, grimly eying each man's bundle of needles and soft soap, and then he singled out Private MacTootle as the man who was to receive his attentions. "Toothbrush?" he roared. "Yes, sir." "Razor?" "Yes, sir." "Hold-all?" "Yes, sir." "Hm ! You're all right, apparently," growled the officer. Then he barked, "housewife?" "Oh, very well, thank you," said the recruit, amiably; "how's yours?" Have you Indigestion ?

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, Aug. 23rd, 1917 No 34 OLB LAND MARK BURNS Dwelling House Of Miss Catherine Marr Burned Last Night-Nothing Saved Last night about one o'clock fire was discovered in the dwelling house of Miss Catherine Marr. The firgt to discover the fire was John Dinkel, who lives directly across from the place, and when he arrived the house was completely afke on the inside and had probably been burning for some time. Miss Marr, who lived alone was awakened by the smoke and flames and venyjiearly suffocated by the same, made her escape from the building just before the arrival of Mr. Dinkel. Nothing whatever was saved. Mr. Dinkel broke in the door of the town hall and rang the bell which awakened some of the residents of the village. Swing to the fact that there was a light shower at the time and no wind blowing, no other building burned. A breeze from the north, east, or west would have been sure to have taken a number of buildings. Cause of the fire is unknown. It is understood that some insurance was carried. Pinckney Defeats Stockbridge, 9 to 7 Last Thursday the Pinckney ball team defeated Stockbridge for the first time in a number of years, 9 to 7, at the Gleaner's picnic held at Lowe Lake. Farmer, Stock bridge's star pitcher and first baseman, was batted oat of the box in the 7th inning and was replaced by Berry, but too late to do any good. Pinckney's hitting was led by Roche Shehan, who secured four hits, followed by Barney White who 3ecured three. The ohancea for Pinckney running off with the championship at the Howell Fair certainly looks good. Roberts is pitching fine ball and is being backed up in fine shape by the whole team. Pinckney will play at Dexter Labor Day. A schedule of the games at the Howell Fair will be found in the program on last page. Teacher's Institute A Teacher's Institute will be held in eac* of the following places; Howell, Monday, Aug. 27th; FowlerviHe, Tuesday, Aug. 28th; Pinckney, Wednesday, August 29th. Every rural teacher is expected to attend one of these meetings. Attend the meeting most convenient for you. Morning session will begin "promptly at 10 o'clock. Hngh G. Aldrich, Sohool Commissioner. Pinckney School Will Open Sept. 3rd Classification in Pinckney • Schools will take place Monday, Sept. 3rd. Supt. Dovle will be in town a week previous to this time to interview anyone in regards to their course of study. j The high school course of study is} modern in every respect, drawing and i commercial work having been added this year. The Board of Education have been ' making many improvements in the j Bchool. After visiting several high* schools in the state and «onsulting the Supt. of Public Instruction, th«y have given us the benefit of their interviews m tbe numerous changes they have made. There seemes to be a . movement in this township for a township school whereby every child in the township would attend the same school. If this scheme can be worked out it will be a* vast improvement in an economical way as well as in an educational way, for everyone concerned. Probably no factor in the life of an individual influences the growth of that life more than the deucational phase. In the face of this truth,, education should hold a prominent part in the development of every community. Each one in this township should give some time to the codsideration oa* a unit school. I 30th Anniversary j Last Friday afternoon about sixty of the neighbors and friends gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. N. Pacey to remind them of the-30th anniversary of their wedded life. After partaking of ; a bountiful repast, Mr. Richard Clinton i in behalf of fche company presented the I couple with a dozen silver knives and 1 foaks, a set of teaspoons from the mother, Mrs. Ann Gilke, and set of table spoons, sugar shell and butter knife from their daughter, Mrs. Walter Glover of FowlerviHe. After enjoying a social chat all departed wishng Mr. and Mrs. Pacey maay more such years of happiness. <M MORTGAGE SALE! Whereas default hap been made in the payment of the money secured by a mortgage dated the ninth day of March in the year one thousand eight hundred ninety-eight, executed by Allen T. Bigelow and Calista A. Bigelow his wife of tbe township of Conway, Livingston County, Michigan, to Georgia G.

Hundreds of acres would still be behiad if frost held off until October. The silo will be the beat insurance on the corn crop this year and the farmer who has a silo is in luck. Corn which is struck by the frost before maturity can be saved by means of the silt) and make fairly good silage, but fodder from frosted corn is almost worthless. In a country where the dairy industry is of such great importance and where silos are so common it is unnecessary to argue upon the value of silage for feeding purposes, ani yet there are many farmers who have hot taken advantage of the benefits their neighbors have derived from the use of the silo. Nor is it necessary to be a dairyman to get value received from a silo, for silage is a valuable feed for all clases of live stock. Grain will doubtless continue to be high next winter, and nothing will help so much as .silage in carrying stock through. In fact, with plenty of silage and clover or alfalfa tiay, young stock can be wintered and kept in thrifty condition without any grain. Silage makes an excellent summer feed when pastures are failing on account of dry weather and unless a dairyman has plenty of * Tat* 9™:00 "o'tchl,o dclky a°.f mM a;y wLhincihh e sa\Tid m1 8o?rt1- ,* * 8 t e ^ ^r pasture he should have g B m a U ^ flay ^ {^t jn d i a m e t e r > gage was assigned from fieorge G.

The demand for silos will be heavier than usual this season, because e late corn crop, and those who expect to invest in them should place their orders at onee.

V~-" His voice cracked, and he made a dispalring, violent gesture. "Go, before I change my mind." Dave signaled to the others, and Alaire slipped away to make herself ready. During the uncomfortable silence which succeeded her departure, Longorlo paced the room, keeping his eyes resolutely turned away from Law. "Do you mean that I, too, may go?" O'Mai ley Inquired. "What good are you to me?" snapped the general. "You will give us safe conduct?" "Be still, priest!" Longorlo glared at the speaker, clasping and unclasping his fists behind his back. With the sound of hoofs outside, Alaire and Dolores appeared, and the Mexican straightened himself with an effort. "Adios, senora !" he said, with a stiff |)0w. "We have had a pleasant friendship and a thrilling flirtation, eh? 1 shall never cease to regret that fate Interrupted at such an Interesting moment. Adios! Adios!" He bowed formally, In turn to Dave and to the priest, then resumed his pacing, with his hands at his back and his brow furrowed as If In a struggle with affairs of greater moment than this. But when he heard the outside door creak shut behind them his indifference "vanished and he halted with head turned in an effort to catch the last rounds of their departure. His face was like tallow now, his lips were •drawn back from his teeth as If In supreme agony. A moment and the hoofbeats had died away. Then Longorlo slipped his leash. He uttered a cry—a hoarse, hatfxtrangled shriek that tore his throat. He plucked the collar from his neck as if It choked him: he beat his breast. Seizing whatever article his eye fell upon, he tore and crushed it; he swept the table clean of Its queer Spanish bric-a-brac, and trampled the litter under his heels. Spying a painting of a saint upon the wall, he ran to it, ripped it from its nail, and. raising It over his liead, smashed frame and glass, cursing all saints, all priests, and churchly people. Havoc followed him as he raged about the place wreaking his fury upon inanimate objects. When he had wellnigh wrecked the contents of the room, and when his first paroxysm had spent Its violence, he hurled himself into a chair, writhing in agony. He bit his wrists, he pounded his fists, he kicked; finally h£ sprawled full length upon the floor, clawing at the cool, smooth tiles until his nails bled. "Christ! O Christ!" he screamed. The sound of his blasphemies reached the little group of soldiers who had lingered curiously outside, and they listened open-mouthed. One by one they crossed themselves and stole away Into the darkness, muttering. » > < \M*i*-A' CHAPTER XXIV. A Grateful Peon. With a # singing heart Alaire rode through the night at her husband's side. The strain of the last few hours had been so Intense, the relief at her deliverance so keen, that now she felt curiously weak, nnd she kept close to Dave, comforted by his nearness and secure in the knowledge of his strength. Although he was unusually taciturn and rode with his chin upon his breast, she attributed his silence to fatigue. Now and then, therefore, she spurred to his side and spoke softly, caressingly. At such time* he reached for her hand and clung to it. Dave was Indeed weary; he was, fn fact, In a sort of stupor, and not Infrequently he doaort for a moment or two in his saddle. Some two hours out from La Peril the riders halted at a point where file road dipped Into a rocky stream4»ed; then, as the horses drank. Dolor** voiced a thought that had troubled %ll of them. **H that butfdit really means to spare tu, why dl6 "he send us away In the night, like Oils?" she asked. MI shall D+ssrpriaed If we • re not assassinated M o r e morning." **B» mmtt have meant it/' Alaire •poke with a conviction she. did not entirely feel. "Father O'Malley aroused the finer aide of his nature." "Perhaps,* agreed the priest. "Somewhere In him there is a fear of God." Be* Dave was skeptical. "More likely a fear of the gVingo government** aali he. "Loogorlo is a fonrfluaher. Wkea he realised he was licked he trtei t*ae*ehls tai$ by a grandstaad ^ > « l « a ! t want to let as go,- V •.'- 5f »7, . . 'Then what la to prevent him from —well, from having us followed?" Alaire Inquired. "Nothing," Dave told her. As they climbed the bank and rode (inward Into the night she said : "No matter what happens, dear, I shall be happy, for at last one of my dreams has come true," He reached out and patted her. "You've no Idea what a coward I was until you came. But the moment I saw you all my fears vanished. I was like a lost child who suddenly sees its father; In your arms I feit perfectly safe, for the first time in all my life, I think. I—I couldn't bear to go on without you, after this." Dave found nothing to say; they rode along side by side for a time In u great contentment that required no speech. Then Alaire asked: "Dear, have you considered how we —are going to explain our marriage?" "Won't the circumstances explain It?" "Perhaps. And yet— It seems ages since I learned—what happened to Ed, but in reality it's only a few hours. Won't people talk?" Dave caught at the suggestion. "I see. Then let's keep it secret for the present" With a little reckless laugh she confessed, "I—I'm afraid I'll find it difficult to be conventional." "My wife!" he cried In sharp agony. Leaning far out, he encircled her with his arm; then, half lifting her from her saddle, he crushed his lips to hers. It was his first display of emotion since Father O'Malley had united them. There were few villages along the road they followed, and because of the lateness of the hour all were dark, hence the party passed through without exciting attention except from an occasional wakeful dog. But as morning came and the east began to glow Dave told the priest: "We've got to hide out during the day or we'll get Into trouble. Besides, these women must be getting hungry." "I fear there Is something feminine about me," confessed the little man. "I'm famished, too." At the next rancho they came to they applied for shelter, but were denied; In fact, the owner cursed them so roundly for being Americans that they were glad to ride onward. A mile or two farther along they met a cart the driver of which refused to answer their greetings. As they passed out of his sight they saw that he had halted his lean oxen and was staring after them curiously. Later, when the sun was well up and the world had fully awakened, they descried a mounted man, evidently a cowboy, riding through the chaparral. He saw them, too. and came toward the road, but after a brief scrutiny he whirled his horse and galloped off through the cactus, shouting something over his shoulder. "This won't do," O'Malley declared, uneasily. "I don't like the actions of these people. Let me appeal to the next person we meet. 1 can't believe they all hate us." Soon they came to a rise In the road, and from the crest of this elevation beheld ahead of them a small village of white houses shining from the shelter of a grove. The rancheria was perhaps two miles away, and galloping toward it was the vnquero who had challenged them. "That's the Rio Negro crossing," Dave announced. Then spying a little house squatting a short distance back from the road, he said : "We'd better try yonder. If they turn us down we'll have to take to the brush." O'Malley agreed. "Yes, and we have no time to lose. That horseman Is going to rouse the town. I'm afraid we're—In for It." * Dave nodded silently. Leaving the beaten path, the refugees threaded their way through cactus and sage to a gate, entering which they approached the straw-thatched Jacal they had seen. A naked boy baby watched them draw near, then scuttled for shelter, piping an alarm. A man appeared from somewhere, at sight of' whom the priest rode forward with a pleasant greeting. But the fellow was unfriendly. His wife, too, emerged from the dwelling and joined her husban a warning Father O'Malley away. "Let me cry," Alaire begged, and spurred ner horse up to the group. She smiled down at the country people, saying: "We have traveled a long way, and we're tired and hungry. Won't yon give us something to eat? We'll pay yon well for yonr trouble.*' The man demurred sullenly, and began a refusal; but his wife, after a wondering scrutiny, htttrrofted htm with a cry. Boshing forward1, aha took the edge of Alaire's skirt In her hands and kissed It "God be praised I A miracle 1" she exclaimed. "Juan, don't you see? It ts the beautiful senora for whom we pray every night of our lives. On your knees, shameless one! It is she who delivered you from the prison.". Juan stared -unbelievingly, then his face changed; his teeth flashed In a smile, and, sweeping his hat from his head, he, too, approached Alaire. "It Is! Senora, I am Juan Garcia, whom you saved, and this Is Inez," he declared. "Heaven bless you and forgive me." "Now. I know you," Alaire laughed, and slipped down from her saddle. "This is a happy meeting. So! You live here, and that was little Juan who ran away as If we were going to eat him. Well, we are hungry, but not hungry enough to devour Juanito." Turning to her companions, she explained the circumstances of her first meeting with these good people, and as she talked the Garcias broke In Joyfully, adding their own account of her goodness. "We've fallen among friends," Alaire told Dave and Father O'Malley. "They will let us rest here, I am sure." Husband and wife agreed in one voice. In fact, they were overjoyed at an opportunity of serving her; and little Juan, his suspicions partially allayed, issued from hiding and waddled forward to take part In the welcome. Shamefacedly the elder Garcia explained his inhospitable reception of the travelers, "We hear the gringos* are coming to kit) us and take our farms. Everybody Is badly frightened. We are driving our herds away and htding what we can. Yesterday at the big Obispo ranch our people shot two Americans and burned some* of their houses. They Intend to kill all the Americans they find, so you'd better be careful. Just now a fellow rode up shouting that you were coming, but of course I didn't know—" "Yes, of course. We're trying to reach the border," Father O'Malley told him. "Will you hide ua here until we can go on?" Juan curtsied respectfully to the priest. "My house is yours, father." "Can you take care of our horses, too, and—give us a place to sleep?" Dave asked. His eyes were heavy; he had been almost constantly in the saddle since leaving Jonesvtlle, and now could hardly keep himself awake. "Trust me," the Mexican assured them, confidently. "If somebody comes I'll send them away. Oh, I can He with the best of them." The Garcias were not ordinary people, and they lived in rather good circumstances for country folk. There were three rooms to their little house, all of which were reasonably clean. The food that Inez set before her guests, too, was excellent if scanty, Juanito, taking cue from his parents, flung himself whole-heartedly into the task of entertainment, and since Alaire met his advances half-way he began, before long, to look upon her with particular favor. Once they had thoroughly made friends, he showered her with the most flattering attentions. His shyness, it seemed, was but a pretense —at heart he was a bold and enterprising fellow—and so, as a mark of his admiration, he presented her with all his personal treasures. First he fetched and laid in her lap a cigar-box wagon with wooden wheels—evidently the handiwork of his father. Then he gave her, one by one, a highly prized blue bottle, a rusty Mexican spur, and the ruins of what had been a splendid clasp-knife. There were no blades in the knife, but he showed her how to peep through a tiny hole in the handle, where was concealed the picture of,a dashing Spanish bull-fighter. The appreciation which these gifts evoked Intoxicated the little man and roused him to a very madness of generosity. He pattered away and returned shortly, staggering and granting under the weight of another and a still greater offering. It was a dog—a patient hungry dog with very little hair. The animal was alive with fleas—it scratched absent-mindedly with one hind paw, even while Juanito strangled it against his naked breast—but it was the apple of its owner's eye, and when Inet unfeelingly banished it from the house Juanito begaaMo squall lustily. Nor could he be conciliated until Alaire took him upon her knee and told him about another boy, of precisely his own age and size* who planted a magic bean in his mother's dooryard, which grew up aad up until it reached clear to the sky. where a giant Hred. Juanito Garda had never heard the like. Be was spellbound with delight; he held his breath in ecstasy; only his toes moved, , and they wriggled like ten fat, brown tadpoles. In the midst of this recital Garcia senior appeared in the door with a warning. "Conceal yourselves," he said, quickly. "Some of our neighbors are coming this way." Inez led her guests into the bedchamber, a bare room with a dirt floor, from the window of which they watched Juan go to meet a group of horsemen. Inez went out, too, and Joined in the parley* Then, after a time, the riders galloped away. When Alaire, having watched the party out of sight, turned from the window she found that Dave had collapsed upon a chair and was sleeping, his limbs "relaxed, his body sagging. "Poor fellow, he's done up," Father O'Malley exclaimed. "Yes; he hasn't slept for days," she whispered. "Help me." With the assistance of Dolores they succeeded In lifting Dave to the bed, but he half roused himself. "Lie down, dear," Alaire told him. "Close your eyes for a few minutes. We're safe now." "Somebody has to keep watch," he muttered, thickly, and tried to fight off his fatigue. But he was like a drunken man. "I'm not sleepy; I'll stand guard," the priest volunteered, and, disregarding further protest, he helped Alaire remove Dave's coat Seeing that the bed was nothing more than a board platform covered with straw matting, Alaire folded the garment for a pillow; as she did so a handful of soiled, frayed letters spilled out upon the floor. "Rest now, while you have a chance,"^ she begged of her husband. "Just for a little while." "All right," he agreed. "Call me in —an hour. Couldn't sleep—wasn't time." He shook off his weariness and smiled at his wife, while his eyes filmed with some emotion. "There is something I ought to tell you, but—I can't now—not now. Too sleepy." His head drooped again; she forced him back; he stretched himself out with a sigh, and was asleep almost Instantly. Alaire motioned the others out of the room, then stood looking down at the man Into whose keeping she had given her life. As she looked her face became radiant. Dave was unkempt unshaven, dirty, but to her he was of a godlike beauty, and the knowledge that he was hers to comfort and guard was strangely thrilling. Her love for Ed, even that first love of her girlhood, had been nothing like this. How could it have been like this? she asked herself. How could she have loved deeply when, at the time, her own nature lacked depth? Experience had broadened her, and suffering had uncovered depths in her being which nothing else had had the power to uncover. Stooping, she kissed Dave softly, then let her cheek rest against his. Her man 1 Her man ! She found herself whispering the words. For a long time she sat "gazing at him tenderly; then she tiptoed out and delighted the naked Garcia baby by taking him in her arms and hugging him. Inez thought the beautiful senora's voice was like the music of birds. * It was growing dark when Dave was awakened by cool hands upon his face and by soft lips upon his. He opened his eyes to find Alaire bending over him. "You must get up," she smiled. "It Is nearly time to go, and Inez is cooking our supper." He reached np and took her in his arms. She lay upon his breast, thrilling happily with her nearness to him. and they remained so for a while, whispering now and then, trying ineffectually to voice the thoughts that needed no expression. "Why did you let me sleep so long?** he asked her, reproachfully. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Shudder! no. Shuddering Is done by clenching the Jaw's and running a quiver down the spine.

Phoebe was bored. In all the six long years of her life she had never spent such a miserable day. Circumstances at last grew too strong for her, and she cried. -She was one of those who do not often cry, but who when they do make no secret of it. In short Phoebe nearly lifted the nursery celling off. Upstairs came Phoebe's mother, already dressed in her smartest clothes ready to have tea with a friend. "Why, what's the matter, Phoebe?" she asked. Phoebe standing hopelessly in the middle of the nursery only howled the louder, and refused to see anything cheerful about life. "Just look, Phoebe, at that ugly little face In the looking glass?" Phoebe Immediately became interested and stopped crying. "Which one, mamma?" she asked.— Pearson's Weekly.

Chicago, UL WHAT TO SELL TO CHINAMAN Celestials Will Not Buy Some Thing* Regarded at Necessities, Saya Commercial Attache. An American commercial attache in China reminds the manufacturer at home that the Asiatic demand for Western articles is still somewhat primitive. For example, the Chinaman Is a liberal purchaser of American barbwire. He likes the locks we make. Files from the United States sell well and oue American Arm holds a monopoly on scoop shovels. But the razors made here have no attraction, for the Chinaman is contented with the clumsy instrument the local blacksmith hammers out of a file. Trying to sell him doorknobs and electrical bells Is to waste time and breath. Chinese agriculture gets along with the farm implements devised centuries ago and cannot even understand the mechanism of American farm machinery. Nails, bolts and nuts have a ready market, being simple, yet when It tx>mes to knives, the product of high skill and workmanship, China Is perfectly satisfied with the cheap stuff sent out from Europe. The commercial invasion of the far •Bast can be successful only if the character of the people of the Bast is given careful consideration, says the Toledo Blade. The American merchant does not try to sell section hands fountain pens. The American manufacturers will lose money who seek an order in China for articles that a simple people look upon as luxuries or toys.

POST TOASTIES are bully good for any meal and for all thefernily VOLUNTEERS WILL PICK GREAT 1917 CROP OF APPLES LOCAL BODIES FORMING CREWS THROUGHOUT COUNTRY. Suggestions About Harvesting Made by the Government Food Administration. A concentrated "drive" is now being made throughout the country for crews of fruit pickers to harvest the goeat apple crop of 2917. In most sections this yeur the Important work will be done by volunteer pickers, men and women, boys, and girLs, eager to do their part, and intelligent but unfamiliar with the job before them. Under direction of the government food administration, public-spirited organizations everywhere are getting the crews made up and ready for work. Each grower should now get In touch with the chamber of commerce, or some other representative business organization in his nearest town, tell how many pickers he will need, when he will need them, for how long, and what arrangements he can make for housing or boarding them. . When his crew of volunteer pickers reports for duty he must open a little school for a day or two, and give them practical instruction in their new work. Many of them perhaps have" never climbed Into an apple tree, and even those who have may not understand that apple picking is a kind of work that requires as much delicacy as gathering eggs. Let the grower tell his pickers how the skin of an apple, or any other kind of fruit or vegetable, is like the tin that protects canned goods. As the tin that Incloses a can of tomatoes guards the sterilized contents from the air, and as even a slight pinhole in this tin would allow the air to enter and carry germs of decay, so the skin of an apple protects its flesh, which is perfectly sterile, and the least cut, even a dent made by a finger nail, allows germs to enter and start decay. A cut so tiny that it can only be detected under the microscope at picking time will, nevertheless, start a germ invasion which will show up later. For this reason great care must be taken in picking fruit. The grower should show their pickers how to grasp an apple and give it the skillful twist that separates It from the tree. He must caution them against dropping the apples carelessly in the boxes and baskets, and see that they have picking baskets and field boxes which are free from splinters and nails; This year's crop will have to be managed along somewhat different lines in many sections. With a crew of trained pickers and packers it is customary to grade and pack much of the fruit as fast as it comes from the trees. There will probably be a shortage of packers, and many growers will have to devote all their efforts to picking the crop and getting it Into temporary storage first, and then packing it later. . More good apples are spoiled every year By carelessness between the time they are picked and the time they are packed than In any other way.* Fall nights are cool, but fall days are apt to be warm. Apples are left In the orchard several days and alternately cool and heat with the changes in temperature until their quality deteriorates. The proper way to care for apples is to put them into common storage as soon as they come from the tree. Almost any good tight building will answer for the temporary storage needed between picking and packing. When fruit leaves the tree it contains vegetable heat just as an animal has animal h e a t and as the carcass of an animal will spoil after killing unless It Is properly cooled, so fruit will spoil unless cooled. With a tight shed, into which fruit can be carried direct from the orthard, the grower can use the cooL nights of autumn to take the heat out of his fruit Doors and windows of the temporary storage shed should be opened at night to admit plentiful currents of cool air, and when the sun comes up and the out* side air grows warm again this storage place should be closed to exclude the warm outer air as much as possible, and keep the fruit nicely cooled. If apples are handled In this simple and sensible way they will have prime keeping quality and the work of grading and packing can be postponed for. several weeks. There is a fairly large apple crop throughout'the country this year. It amounts to about two bushels for ev- ' ery man. woman and child in the United States. From the consumers' standpoint it 4a important to have as much of this fruit as possible go to market tn first class condition, so that it may help us conserve wheat, meat fats and other staple foods for our allies. From the producers' standpoint It is just as important to harvest the crop In the best condition because the tUe of our apple crop this year is such that only the best fruit will bring good prices. ••••£- / , ' 7 fc" • , . v.- 'v ...-A - STUDEBAKER MAN GIVES OUT FACTS Declares Tanlac Overcame Trouble of Ten Years Standing.

DAILY DRILLS HARDEN MEN A i m of Officer* Is to W h i p Boys in Best Possible Shape Before They Leave State Camp. Lansing. Tt looks now as if the stay of the Michigan National Guard at the state camp at Grayling will be a short one. Company D, Thirty-first, Company L, Thirty-second, Troop A, South Haven, and Companies B and C, engineers, were ordered to Waco, Texas, to prepare the southern camp for the Michigan and Wisconsin troops, indicating an early departure for the entire guard. The camp bears a more serious as pect now that at previous mobilizations. Squads of soldiers are drilling daily in all parts of the reservation. The work of instruction covers the first series of drills for recruits and the mor* extended maneuvers for the older men. The aim of the officers is to whip the men into the best possible shape before leaving Grayling. Cavalry troops have arrived at camp but in the absence of horses, which will not be issued to the troopers until they arrive in the south, the boys are putting in most of their time at target practice. The high cost of living and the food allowance for each soldier is now 40 cents a day, an increase t)f less than 9 cents. This makes a difference of about $720 a day in feeding the Michigan brigade. A number of the officers have rented cottages on the reservation just outside of the camp and their families are arriving daily. The enliBted men have started the "kangaroo" courts for violations of the unwritten laws of camp. They also find much enjoyment in baseball and other outdoor sports after the drill hours. From Private to General In 25 Years. Brigadier-General Louis C. Covell. who has just been nominated as a brigadier general in the new national army, has risen from the rank of private to general in 25 years, and while 42 years old, is one of the youngest generals in the army. General Covell enlisted as a private in Company I, Thirty-second regiment, April 6, 1892. Several years later he \ was commissioned as a second lieutenant and served with Company K in the Spanish war as captain. Upon reorganization of the company in 1899 he was made major. In 1906 he was raised to leutenant colonel and five years later became colonel of the Thirty-second. He became general in command of the Michigan National Guard February 7, 1917. State L u m b e r m e n Scored, That the Michigan lumbering trade will received a setback in governmental circles for its failure to provide lumber fast enough for Camp Custer was the statement of Major Morden, in charge of construction, at the Battle Creek camp.

We have ample railroad facilities now to unload all the lumber that can be shipped in, but it is not coming, and as a result Michigan lumber men are getting a record with the war department that is not to their credit."

U-WAR FAILURE, SAYS PREMIER L l o y d George Declares Shipping Losses Are Decreasing. WOULD RETURN THEM IN SPRING Lake Boats Could Be Used in Coast- Wise Trade, Releasing Big Ships for European Service. Washington—Every available ship from the great lakes is to be trans-1 ferred to the Atlantic ocean trade at | the end of the present season of navi-; gation. This is the statement made at the offices of the United States shipping board. F. A. Eustis, shipbuilding expert of the commission, is now investigating the best method of getting the ships through the Welland canal. The lake vessels are counted to go a long way towards defeating the German submarine. There is 2,760,- 000 tons of shipping on the lakes, according to the 1916 report. If even half of this tonnage can be placed on the ocean trade, from December 1 until April 1, the officials declare it will forever destroy any likelihood of the submarine winning the war for Germany. The coming winter will be a crucial period in the submarine warfare. By next spring, when the lake boats would return to their home waters, the British and American shipyards are expected to be turning out new vessels in such numbers as to equalize the submarine losses. [ The difficulty in utilizing the lake craft is the narrowness of the Welland canal and this is the problem the shipping board is now seeking to solve. Ships Too Big for Canal. There are 80 ships on the lakes of a total of about 200,000 tons which can pass through the Welland canal without alteration. The plan now under consideration is to cut the larger vessels in half to pass through the ! canal and reassemble them on tidewater. Many of the ships may never be brought back to the lakes, for the j reason that lake shipyards are to be worked overtime from now on, building lake vessels to take their places. The practice of cutting vesaelB in two to pass the Welland canal is not new. A considerable number of lake j vessels, particularly some of the larger passenger ships running from Buffalo to Duluth, were built in Scotch or English shipyards, brought across the ocean in two pieces and reassembled Inside the Welland canal. London—A message of hope and quiet confidence -in the future was given to the British nation in the house of commons by Premier Lloyd George. The people of the British Isles cannot be starved, notwithstanding the German submarine campaign and the military situation grows more hopeful. The difficulties of the allies will grow less and their power increase, while the troubles of Germany will increase and her power fall away, declared the premier. The stock of wheat in Great Britain had increased by one-third within a year and this year's harvest promises well, but economy still is necessary, he said. German claims as to British shipping losses, the premier said, were exaggerated in the hope of cheering up the people of the central powers. Although the submarine losses In April had been 560,000 tons, they had decreased until the average for July and August would be 175,000 tons net each. Shipbuilding had been speeded up, vessels had been purchased abroad and the total tonnage acquired in 1917 would reach nearly 2,000,000 tons. The premier said he believed the losses would grow smaller and that the admiralty had met with success in combating the submarine menace, while measures taken by the shipping controller had permitted vessels to carry increased tonnage. PLATINUM FOUND IN ALASKA W o r l d Shortage May Be Relieved By Discovery. WHISKY MAKING STOPS SEPT. 8 No Booze Can Be Manufactured in U. S. A f t e r T h a t Date. Washington—Discovery of platinum in Alaska by Dr. Herschel C. Parker, of New York, and others has aroused government agencies to activity in the hope of finding enough of the metal to meet the Allies' war needs. Four government experts have been assigned to study the situation and report if the discoveries may reple^- u»h the platinum supply, cut off by the virtual cessation of mining in the Ural mountains, the source of the world's preatest supply. War uses of platinum include the making of suplhuric acid and the completion of contact points of the ignition systems of airplanes, automobiles and telephone and telegraph instruments. Substitutes have been found for making sulphuric acid, but it is almost Indispensable for other uses. Sc acute is the world shortage that platinum has advanced from $45 to $105 an ounce since the beginning of the war. In this country a survey of visible supply has been made, but the results have not been published. 3 YEARS FOR RECKLESS DRIVING Washlnpt.'n--Xot another drop of whisky v.ill ho manuftceu-r.d in the United States nfter 11 o'clock on the r.i^-Iit. of September 8.

This ruling was made by the food administration after it had been bombarded for several days with tejf* grams from distillers asking for specific Information. The food control law provided that the production should cease 30 days after approval of the measure. The bill was approved August 10 and consequently its provisions would go into effect at midnight, September 9.

Detroit—Judge William F. Connolly Friday sentenced James Small to serve three years in Jackson prison because Small's automobile ran over the curb at St. Aubin avenue and Catherine street. May 19, instantly killing little Joseph Tarortamlna, who was playing on the sidewalk. Small pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, and asked the court for leniency. The sentence is the heaviest ever Imposed in Michigan' for reckless driving of an automobile that resulted in the death of a pedestrian. Small is the second man to be penalized in the state for this offense.

Washington—Authorization to issue bondB and certificates totalling $11,- 539,945,460 at one time is provided in new war budget bill, embodying' recommendations of Secretary McAdoo. In addition to authority to float a $7,539,945,460 4 per cent bond issue to care for a previous $3,000,000,000 and a future $4,000,000,000 allied loan authorization, the secretary desires the power to issue additional certificates of indebtedness to the amount of $2,- 000,000,000, and an equal amount of was savings certificates In a form available to small investors. Lives of the certificates of indebtedness and war savings certificates would be limited to one and five years, respectively,, and they would be subject to discount and payment in the discretion of the secretary. He also would fix the interest rates and regulate interest payments. They, like the bonds, would be subject only to supertax, war profits and excess profits taxes. Inclusion of the two additional certificate proposals, not mentioned heretofore by administration leaders in connection with the bill, is understood to be principally for the purpose of providing against a sudden demand for money which the treasury might not be able to meet. As congressional leaders understand the situation, it may not be necessary to issue many of the certificates, but they would prove the means of getting money quickly if it were needed. , 144,000 U. S. MEDICS TO FRONT Hospital Corps Outnumbers A m e r i c a ' s Pre-War Regular A r m y . Washington—The medical corps with Uncle Sam's first armies in Prance will be greater than our prewar regular army. America's pre-war army numbered 110,000 officers and men. America's first medical expeditionary force to France will number 24,000 medical of fleers and 120,000 enlisted men. Physicians are entering training camps all over the country at the rate of 200 a day, By October 1, when the national army, national guard and regular army are at full strength and in camp, there will be 12,000 physicians and 60,000 enlisted medical corps men in service. By the time these three organizations are in France, which won't be so very long from now, there will be 24,- 000 medical men and 120,000 enlisted medical corps men. There are about 90,000 physicians and surgeons between the military ages of 22 to 55. The 24,000 of these now needed is only the first call. Thousands more probably will be taken. As rapidly as they are being whipped into shape at the training camps these doctors are being assigned by companies to the cantonment camps and to the expeditionary contingents. The first 12,000 doctors have been selected and the second 12,000 are now being drawn. MOTOR BUS TO RIVAL TROLLY Planned to Operate Extensive Service in Detroit. Detroit—Detroit soon will have modern motor bus service to relieve the congestion of street cars on Woodward and Jefferson avenues if city officials are disposed to meet half way with the organizers of the Detroit Motor Bus company, a heavily capitalized corporation now in process of formation. Information of the plans of the company was given Sunday by Herbert Y. McMullen, of Detroit, who has been interested in the operation of a similar company in Chicago. The company will have 100 doubledeck motor busses, each seating 58 persons, to start operations with. "We do not have to obtain a franchise to operate on the streets of Detroit," said Mr. McMullen, "but we will seek a working basis with the city whereby we will be paying the city something for the privilege of operating on the streets and arranging stopping points, in Chicago the motor bus company pays three per cent of the gross receipts for such privileges."* ISscanaba—Private John Garland, Company L, was hit on the head shortly after being paid oft mad robbed of hit month's pay.

By Dr. M. M. M'COOL, Professor of Soils, Michigan Agricultural College. East Lansing, Mich.—Is it wise to apply phosphates to Michigan soils? Next to the question : - "What's your draft number?" this query about fertiizers is perhaps as frequently asked as any by the Michigan farmer today, and it Is probably as important as any, particularly since it has become increasingly apparent that for the time being, at least, Michigan intends to resume her old stride in the matter of wheat production. The answer fs, "Phosphates pay." But this conclusion must not be looked upon shcply as a classroom theory. The thing has been amply proved under actual field conditions on Michigan farms in many counties. These tests have demonstrated beyond question that Michigan soils as a rule lack phosphorus, and further that applications of phosphates handsomely repay farmers for the expense entailed. A recent trip by the writer through eastern, southern and western Michigan revealed the fact that heads of wheat on many fields are only about one-half as well filled as they should be, Indicating a deficiency of phosphorus In the soli. The correctness of these observations has been additionally borne out by chemical analysis of representative soil types, in Cass, St. Joseph, Lenawee, Wayne, Ingham. Allegan, Manistee, Wexford and Newaygo counties. The results have shown that soils in all of these districts lack the necessary amount of phosphorus. But to remove all doubt, actual tests have been conducted in the field. Remarkable returns from the application of phosphates have been secured by the soils department of the college, by means of field culture experiments on Cass, Van Buren and Kent county farms, as well as oh the college farm, and through co-operative experiments with farmers In several counties. On the county farm in Kent last year, acid phosphates on soils resulted in an Increase of 60 bushels to the acre In potatoes. An Increase of 40 bushels to the acre over the yield on adjacent sandy loam was obtained on the county farm in Van Buren by similar treatments. In Van Buren county 400 pounds of acid phosphate was applied in one case, and 2,000 pounds of raw rock phosphate in another. The ressuits were equally good In both. In Lenawee county the yield of rye was increased from 16.9 bushels to 21.5 bushels by the addition of 200 pounds of acid phosphate per acre to sandy soils in co-operative experiments on the farm of A. M. Green, while County Agent Blandford, in Newaygo county, has increased the yield of wheat from 8 to 25 bushels by applying 200 pounds of acid phosphate per acre to light soils. We have been selling phosphate • from our farms for years, and returning It to the soil now is sound practice. Phosphates are not a soil stimulant, and their use will not result after a few years in decreased yields. The soils department of the college recommends the application of 200 pounds per acre of from 16 to 18 per [ cent acid phosphate twice in a fouryear rotation. The small grains are especially benefitted. Where^ rock phosphate is to be used, 1,500 pounds per acre in a four-year rotation is advl sable. It is conceded that It is best, where possible, to use the latter In conjunction with stable manure or crop residues. ~ fix using acid phosphates, two-thirds of the cost of application should be charged to the first crop, and the remainder to the crops that follow. The department also calls attention to the importance of ordering phosphates Immediately for use on wheat this fall' STRAW BUILDS UP SOIL 9 something to be prized, cot aloue as a feed, but us a soil builder. Kottlug oat straw has the power to render calcium, magnesium, phosphoric acid uud other plant food elements much more readily available to the growing crop. In addition there is much plant food in the straw itself. A ton of straw contains about 5¾ pounds of phosphoric acid, ^2¼ pounds of potash and 11 pounds of nitrogen. Wheat, rye and barley straw have much smaller quantities of potash than has oat straw, but approximately the same amounts , of nitrogen and phosphoric acid. i Experiments carried on by the soils department of the experiment station of the Michigan Agricultural college show ihat an application of 20 loads of muck to the acre will substantially Increase the productive power of sandy soil. Straw, however, would be even more effective In this regard than muck, because it is more easily decomposed by the soil bacteria. Straw Is also u^ed in some localities to prevent soil blowing, but when it is employed for this purpose it should be disced into the surface soil. All straw which will not be used for feed or bedding should be applied to the ground prepared for wheat this summer. If sandy soil Is to be planted to wheat, about two tons of straw to the acre should be applied to these fields. If well-rotted, it may be diskWl into the surface soil; otherwise it should be plowed under. The potash contained in the straw is of particular value on these light sandy soils. SHOULD THIN GARDEN CROPS Vegetables, to Make Proper Growth, Must Be Given Room. By ROBERT E. LOREE, Department of Horticulture, Michigan Agricultural College. East Lansing, Mich. — Crowding plants in the garden is almost as detrimental to their best growth as the huddling of people together in tenements. Garden crops, like men and women, must have room, and If the vegetables haven't been thinned out, now Is the time to s t a r t It is a fault of most gardeners that they sow too many seeds In the row, with the result that the plants, when they come up, soon become crowded, and suffer from lack of moisture, light and plant food. A small amount of thinning, therefore, is necessary, even when seeds are carefully spaced with the seed drill. A few plants well spaced in the row will yield better, and produce a higher quality product than a larger number-of plants growing under crowded conditions. Commence to thin Just as soon as the size of the plants and the ravages of Insects will permit. Bear in mind that thinning should be a process of selection; that is, all weak plants should be discarded, leaving only the most vigorous to mature. The following are the distances to which some of the most common vegetables should be thinned: Beets, carrots, turnips, parsnips and salsify, four to six inches, depending on the soil and the variety; rutabagas, eight inches; wax or string beans, four inches; lima beans, twelve inches; onions, two Inches; parsley, six inches; cucumbers, four plants to each hill, or if in rows allow two feet between the plants In the row; melons and squashes, two strong plants to each hill.

Their Ambitions. In the city the toiler had just been advanced in salary. "Now," he chuckled, "I can begin saving to buy a farm." In the country the agriculturist looked at the check received for his season's w h e a t "Another crop or two like this,'* he mused, Msnd I can mors into the city."

A Field of Gladioluses. SOME HARDY BULBS. The lover of a beautiful garden must spare a corner, or strip of ground, for the hardy bulbs which come up from year to year with very tittle care, excepting the general care every flower lover gives her plants! such as keeping the weeds down, fertlliring the ground In the fall and loosening the earth In the springtime. I find the Roman hyacinth will Increase from year to year, If left In the ground. My crocuses are planted in the lawn and are done blooming before the mowing machine Is run over that part of the grass. I have some hard, old-fashioned white tulips, the double kind, and these, with a few of the cottage garden tulips of brilliant colorings make a gay showing all through May. Scllla Slberica Is very satisfactory, being one of the first bright-blue flowers to greet us, for It comes in crocus time. Then there is the Scllla campanulata, or Spanish bluebell. These bulbs, grown In masses with snowdrops, grape and feathered hyacinth^ are charming in effect. The Sternbergia lutla is a bulb which gives up Its blossoms In September, often extending into the latter part of November. A clump of them 1* very striking, the flowers being a pure, golden-yellow In color. The most satisfactory bulb of all is the fleur de lys, iris or flags, the narcissi and the daffodils. The ground In which they are planted should not be fertilized, as this causes the bulbs to run to leaf and give but scanty blossoms. Once In three years, In the fall, the daffodils, the narcissi, the fleur de lys need separating, and If grown in long rows of each flower the effect Is beautiful and gratifying. A great show can be made of groups of Iris. There are" several species of this gorgeous flower, and each species has many varieties—there Is the Spanish, Japan and German iris, and several new varieties and novelties. Mrs. Frank A. Vanderlip Cultivating Potatoes. WAR WORK In the call of the government for the people of the United States to do their bit for their country by planting food to he used to reduce the high coat»of living and to help feed our allies, one of the first to respond to the can was Mrs. Prank Vanderlip, wife of the president of the City National hank. New York city. Mrs. YanderUp Is the leader of the Woman Suffrage party In Westchester, where the beautiful home of the Vanderllps ts situated. Early in the spring the grounds around the vast estate were planted to potatoes.

The fact that Sir Douglas Haig attained his fifty-sixth birthday recently brings to mind a story told of him a short while back. Sir Douglas is a soldier, first, last and all the time, regarding all other professions as of quite negligible Importance, a trait In his character which lends point to the anecdote. He was, it appears, inspecting a cavalry troop, and was particularly struck with the neat way In which repairs had been made in some of the saddles. "Very good work," he remarked to the troop sergeant major. "Who did i t r "Two of my troopers, sir," was the reply. "You're fortunate to have two such expert saddlers in your troop," said Haig. "As a matter of fact, sir," was the reply, "they're not saddlers in civil life being lawyers." "Well," ejaculated Sir Douglas, "how men who can do work like that could have wasted their lives over law I can't Imagine!" Love is all right as an Illusion, but as a fact matrimony Is the real thing.

By Captain GEORGE I. KILMER. THE assassination on June 28, 1914, of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir to the throne, quickly resulted in the outbreak of a world -war. When Austria-Hungary pressed her demands upon Servia for reparation Russia championed the little Slav nation. Germany declared that her Austro-Hungarian ally must hare a "free hand" in dealing with flervia, and the storm broke. The first two years of the war, from August, 1914, to August, 1916, were marked by the subjugation of nearly all of Belgium, part of northern France, all of Servia and the greater part of Russian Poland by the German armies. Russia-conquered and tlen lost a large slice of Austrian territory in Galicia. Following the invasion of Belgium in August, 1914, Great Britain and France -entered the war as the allies of Russia. The German march toward Paris, through Belgium and France, was effectually checked at the river Marne early in September, 1914, and in the weeks following the opposing lines in France and Belgium were established practically where they remained for the next two years. Italy entered the war m May, 1915, and attacked Austria by land, east and northeast of Venice. *fhe first year of tbe war saw the fall of Warsaw and the extension of the German front to the Dvina river, midway between Warsaw and Petrograd.

When you toil for others you are entitled to pay. The causes that are increasing the cost of living ore increasing the cost of doing business for your grocer. Since it takes more money for you to feed your familj, it takes more money for your grocer to buy his stock. By purchasing only what you need, you make it possible for your neighbor to obtain what he needs. By paying promptly for what you buy, you are practising real economy. Long credits cost money and the merchant must be reimbursed for making them. You can "do your bit" in the present adjustment of food stuff prices by helping your grocer keep down the high cost of doing business, which will is tarn help keep down prices. This enables your grocer to pay his bills promptly, thus saving his discounts. He operates on a small capita, makes a small profit and, hense must pay his bills regularly. When he buys cheaper he sells cheaper. When he saves yon save. Please remember this, if you assist your grocer along these lines be will be better able to serve yon as the time. Mail order booses may picture to you a smaH saving on a bill of groceries, but have yoo ever offered your grocer tbe order on mail order terms?

In the Imperial valley of California they nre making fortunes raising cotton this year—sudden dramatic fortunes. Everything about the Imperial valley seems 11» have the dnunutlc Quality; its story would make n blistering desert where n buzzard could scarcely live. And then the government harnessed the Colorado river and the desert was veined with irrigating csnals, and plowed and planted, and for the first time since the primordial floods subsided, a tint of green and growing things spread over the salley. C'ottpn arrived in 1006. It came In the shape of a box of seed under the sent of a farm wagon driven by a Texas homesteader. He asked why they didn't raise cotton thereabouts, and they «aid because if wouldn't grow. And so, being from Texas, which is something like Missouri, he planted his little store of cottonseed, and It came up and opened its snowy bolls to the wonderment of all beholders. Furhermore, the next ypnr it came up and bore again without another planting. The Texan's little cotton field spread like a drop of%>utter on a hot pan. It clothed the barrenness of the desert in its fleece. And it brought to the men who owned the land more hard iron dollars than ever they had seen before. There are 50,000 acres of cotton In the Imperial valley this year and there are going to be many more next year. And even better than the <>ntton crop Is the human crop, which this desert has borne; for it is peopled by men who own their own farms and are prosperous. Inaiatent "That," said the physician, as he examined the lump on the man's neck, "Is the remains of an old boll that started to come and then became encysted there."

Lanstng. To provide for care ot members in capacitated in war service and to sustain their dependents .the Michigan State Medical society has asaetibed every member ?5. This fund, according to thoae in charge, means that Michigan doctors at war need not worry about their dependents. Moreover, if they themselves are wounded or taken ill, they will receive the beat medical attention available. Major Andrew P. Biddle, president of the society, has announced that the money will be turned over prorata to the patriotic committee of each county medical society for use. As soon as the present fund is exhausted, another levy of $5 per member will be made. "Thi3 is a patriotic move on the part of doctors who remain behind," explained Major Biddle. "Many Michigan doctors have sacrificed much to serve their country, and are deserving of our solicitude." The fund haa nothing to do with one to be raised by the Wayne County Medical society, by assessing its members not leas than 3 per cent and not more than 8 per cent of their Income, to be paid in monthly installments, for the Wayne county doctors who answer the call to the colors.

BOOMERANG ARGUMENTS. .Replying ia public debate to the liquor man's argument for compensation, Dr. Clarence True Wilson "Said: ''Suppose we grant that they (the United States and the liquor seller) are partners. Suppose two thieves are in business to rob. One of them 'hits the trail1 and gives up robbery and crime. Would you say the other thief has a case for damages for injury to his business by the conversion of his partner? "When we stopped piracy on the high seas, did we compensate the pirate? When we stopped lotteries, did we compensate those who conducted them? Have we compensated dealers in dope whose business was destroyed by the Harrison act?" Another point made much of by Doctor Wilson's opponent was that the first year after prohibition went into effect in West Virginia the governor of the state had to appeal to the legislature for additional tax measures to make up for the loss in revenue from liquor. "And in the second year," Doctor Wilson replied, "West Virginia swept her state debt off the map. Today she stands among the leading states of the Union in the amount of surplus in her treasury."

Millions F»rmtn Exempt Till September, Men who believe they will he exempt from army duty because their presence on farms will be necessary for the harvesting of crops will find that the exemption boards will not listen to any such plea. If they are otherwise within the selective draft law they will be temporarily exempted, but the call to the colors will come toward the latter part of September. This in substance is a ruling by Provost Marshal Crowder received by Major Samuel Pepper. The farmer and the farmers' hired men, physicallyl fit and without such dependents as come within the selective draft law, will be considered just as good timber for the national army as the city man. It had been the idea in this state, before this ruling, that the farm help was to be given a temporary discharge which practically exempted it from the first call. On this basis many farmers and their sons and many hired men on the farms been feeling safe from the call. of dollars are each year taken from the pockets of workingmen and put into the pockets of the brewers. Beer is a very taking article. have State Guard in Federal Service. Except for a few officers who have not been called to active duty, there is now no more Michigan national guard. Under the president's call, which brought the last state troops into federal service August 5, on that date all the guardsmen were drafted into federal service. By drafting the guard on the same date, though groups were called at different times, the question of seniority of officers is settled. All are in federal service as of August 5. Michigan's regiments will not be known by the numbers they bear now. Neither will the other guard organizations of the United States. The organizations will be kept intact, but the guardsmen will receive numbers where the regular army regiments end. That means that Michigan's numbers will be well up in the hundreds. All officers will have to purchase new collar devices, while the government win have to change the collar ornaments of the men. The president may send the guardsmen anywhere now, the discharge from the national guard and the draft Into the federal service doing away with restriction* which made the national guard only a national defense. For all practical purposes, the guard is the same as the regular army, the officers and men being entitled to the same pay and allowances. Promotion of officers is governed by a special law, however. ALCOHOL GETS MEDICAL TABOO. At the annual meeting of the house of delegates of the American Medical association, held In New York in June, a resolution was adopted condemning the use of alcohol. Such resolution was presented by Dr. Frank Billings of Chicago, chairman of the association's council of health and public instruction, and after discussion was passed as follows : "Whereas, We believe that the use of alcohol is detrimental to the human economy, and whereas its use in therapeutics as a tonic or stimulant or for food has no scientific value, therefore "Be it resolved, That the American Medical association is opposed to the use of alcohol as a beverage; and "Be it further resolved, That the use of alcohol as a therapeutic agent should be further discouraged." The American Medical association has a membership of 81,000 physicians and surgeons. NEW OCCASION IN SHIP-LAUNCH INQ. Three boats—large cannery tenders* for the Alaska fisheries—were recently launched from one shlp-bullding plant in Seattle. Each was christened with the sparkling nonalcoholic beverage, applestaff. The bottles we're entwined in the national colors and hung from the three prows on silken ropes of red, white and blue. The three young women sponsors, said the Seattle Times, carried out the triple ceremony with great brilliancy. The crash of the bottles, sounding at ten-second intervals, bathed the bows of the vessels In glistening foam. "The new christening beverage made good In whirlwind style. Not a hitch, not a halt of pause of any kind, which means, according to tradition, that It is safe and sane to christen* snip with the new Seattle beverage.** Fairs Asked far Patriotic Days. Gov. Sleeper has issued a proclamation to boards managing all fairs in Michigan to set aside one day for patriotic demonstrations and programs. This is done to arouse citizens to realisation of the necessity of giving proper equipment to soldiers leaving this state, giving care and attention to the wounded and otherwise doing everything they can to bring about an equal distribution of the burden of r.

We must eat more perishable and semiperishable food at home in order that the staple articles, such as wheat, may be sent abroad in great amounts. In a couple of weeks we will begin harvesting apples all over the country. This is a war crop. It will amount to two bushels for every man, woman and child In the United States. The motto this year is: "Eat an apple and send a biscuit." War conditions also confront th* apple growers, for there is a scarcity of pickers, and careful preparations must now be made to see that this crop is all safely harvested and put into storage. Now is the time to begin organizing picking crews In every apple growing section. A survey of the situation shows that the farmer will need co-operation from business" men in the towns and cities round about at which he trades, and which have Just as great an interest In this crop as the farmer himself. This is emergency organization work to be taken up immediately by chambers of commerce, boards of trade, state and county councils of defense, and business men generally. The labor supply to harvest this crop exists right in the cities adjacent to the apple orchards in most cases, but the draft and demands of factories and railroads for labor have disturbed the normal supply of workj ers upon which the farmer usually draws, and It Is necessary to recruit new kind's of workers. People who have never regarded themselves as apple pickers may this year be asked to go to the orchards and help get in the crop for patriotic reasons. The organization work should take the form of an immediate survey of labor resources to see where a picking force Is to be recruited. Stores and factories can often release clerks and workmen for this service If notified In time. Families who would like a week or two of vacation in the country with light, healthy outdoor work at satisfactory wages, may also be Induced to Join the picking army. It has been suggested that the schools might be opened later this year so that boys and girls can be sent to the orchards, but this will not be necessary In all cases. One very good source of pickers can be found among the women's organizations of this country, which are all keenly interested in helping in any practical patriotic work. Mnch is heard about the scarcity of labor, but there is not as great a scarcity as most people imagine. Workers upon whom the farmer depends in ordinary times have simply been shifted into other occupations, and war conditions demand tbnt business men Step In, locate other classes of workers who can be shifted to the orchards for this emergency and see that the farmer has plenty of help. There will probably be some difficulty in harvesting the apple crop with these volunteer workers, many of whom have no experience at the work. Perishable fruit must be handled carefully to prevent injury to the skin and bruises. These would later cause decay when the apples go into storage. The principles of careful fruit picking are very simple, and easily understood. If the fanner can start with two or three experienced pickers and spend a little time explaining good picking methods to his volunteers he should get excellent results, for these volunteers, while new to the work, will also be people of good average intelligence, and the war. emergency will appeal to their Interest so that they will be more than ready to help harvest the crop skillfully. Apple growers are advised to get In touch with the business organisations in their nearest town, ask that help be given in securing pickers and report the number of pickers needed by themselves. One of the greatest difficulties in organizing harvest hands for any crop Is that of gathering accurate Information as to how many helpers are needed on each farm and in each township. For lack of such Information It very often happens that one township will be handicapped because tt Is without sufficient helpers and a township twenty-five or thirty miles away will have a surplus of workers. By ascertaining in advance Just how many workers will be needed in each locality, business organisations win be tble to recruit a sufficient force lysaptoa violent • DR. B. SCHIFFWUW?

"Oh, Bessie," enthusiastically exclaimed the young woma.n'8 sister, rushing into the house with a package a few days later, "I have found a mate for your andiron! It is too perfectly lovely for anything!" "You have?" eagerly responded Bessie. "Let tne see it! Where did you get it? How much—" "Here it is," said sister, undoing the package. "I was passing a pawnshop the other day and saw it in the window. I knew it was just like—why, what's the matter? Are you going to faint?" "No, dear," answered Bessie, with a soulful sigh.

USES TURF INSTEAD OF COAL Switiertand, on Account of the War, Is Forced to Fall Back on Peat as Fuel. According to a report to the department of commerce from William I\ Kent, consul at Heme, Switzerland, the exigencies of war, and the inability to import coal in quantity suflicient to meet the needs of the population have induced the Swiss government, through a seini-'oftieinl organization, known as the Science Co-operative Suisse de la Tourbo, whose address Is Berne, to resort to the use of turf or peat as a substitute or to supplement the Insufficient iupply of coal. The association is in the market for the purchase of Improved machinery for cutting, raising, drying, and compressing turf. Turf or pent as a fuel Is not a satisfactory and complete substitute for coiil. on accouni of its low calorific properties, particularly for steam generation, but in those portions of the United States where it abounds it may he used to advantage for domestic consumption by admixture with coal, not only saving the cost of distant transportation of coal, but producing sufficient heat at a much reduced cost. PREPARATORY WORK FOR FALL AND WINTER What about the winter window garden? Now is the time for much work that cannot be delayed. One of the best winter blooming geraniums is the Mrs. E. G. Hill. Many old plants should be discarded and new ones started. Do not let the geraniums get leggy. Finch into shape. Pinch out oil buds from plants intended for the window garden. Late started plants are not satisfactory. Begin now. Clean, scour, sun and put in place the pots for winter. Have every vessel clean. Use charcoal In your drainage. Dead coals from wood ashes are us good as any. Repot all plants needing it, cutting back severely. Don't try to keep everything. Try to have your plants at their best when it is time to take them indoors. Finch and prune into good shape. Get seedling primroses from the florist now. Keep them growing and thrifty for winter blooming. The peristrophe variegata is a good bracket plant and a free bloomer. For winter blooming get dormant tuberous- rooted begonias.

No flower In all the garden series Is more beloved than the star-eyed daisy. or marguerite. And, perhaps no flower has undergone a more decided Improvement, than this same flower, which fills the meadow spaces with its nodding white and in better soil looks stately from the gnrden path. The daisy should have a place in the garden. They make delightful borders to beds of taller growing annuals and can be used very effectively in beds of spring blooming bulbs. Daisies may be sown in March, and later for succession, in shallow boxes of light, rich soil. Cover the seed to about three times their own thickness and press the soil firmly over them. Keep the box in a warm window, greenhouse or hotbed. Transplaat to new boxes and set out in the open ground when danger from frost is past. Daisies can be sown in beds outside in August or September. They must be protected with straw or litter through the winter and transplanted to their permanent position in the spring. The South African orange daisy has become a great favorite. It was introduced a few years ago and has been made much of at the flower shows and is used largely on big estates. It is excellent for borders and as a pot plant. GARDEN NOTES. If the garden has been thoroughly cultivated early in the season, there is little weeding to be done. Yet, a few late weeds will strive for supremacy if not conquered. One of the most persistent now, us earlier, is the chick weed, which grows in such dense masses as to choke out everything else. Keep it cleaned out. If thrown Into a pile it will be decomposed In a few weeks into a light soil rich in humus. If the cabbages are slow about heading, or the heads lack firmness, sprinkle with salt and water. This will also tend to.kep the worms down. Because you have plenty of land, do not think it is of no value. Have you used your garden \o the utmost capacity? Intensive gardening has already coroe where there Is most profit in the occupation. If you have not applied this principle, see how you can get more out of the ground.

Honest Advertising TIIS is A topic we all bear now-a-days because so many people are inclined to exaggerate. Yet has any physician told yon that we claimed unreasonable remedial properties for Fletcher's Caatoria? Just ask them. We won't answer it ourselves, w« know what the answer will be. That it has all the virtues to-day that was claimed for it in its early days is to be found in its increased use, the recommendation by prominent physicians, and our assurance that its standard will be maintained. Imitations are to be found in some stores and only because of the Caatoria that Mr. Fletcher created. But it is not the genuine Castoria that Mr. Fletcher Honestly advertised, Honestly placed before the public, and from which he Honestly expects to receive his reward. /n& . Genuine Caatoria always bears the signature of When Women are Weak Women who feel weak, languid and depressed— who look pale and dull eyed, and have lost appetite and fresh looks—need a tonic that will purify the blood, help the organs o{ digestion, regulate the liver and bowels, and strengthen the system.

Washington The food administration, announced Sunday night, its plan lor controlling wheat, flour and bread, revealing that the government is prepared to take over the whole 1917 wheat harvest if necessary to conserve the supply, obtain just prices for America's fighting forces and their Allies and reduce costs to the public in the United States.

In order to eliminate speculation in wheat and flour, all elevators and mills over 100 barrels daily capacity will be required to take out a government license.

New York—Two members of exemption board 99, I.ouis I. Cherry and Dr. S. J. Bernfeld, were deposed and arrested in the allegd conspiracy to evade the selective draft law. A third man, Kalman Gruber, said to have been a "go between" was also nabbed. Intimation that the federal authorities would take action came from .John C. Knox, assistant United States attorney. False and incorrect physical examinations, exemptions, enlistments, enrollments and discharges, false statements as to fitness and liability to aid men to avoid the draft law and failure to perform their duties, are specifically charged against Cherry and Bernfeld. Mr. Knox said that involved in the investigation in the cage by federal agents was evidence that bribes of $200 to $500 had enabled drafted men to obtain exemption. There were indications, he declared, that a go-between has acted for the men seeking exemption. All of the men exempted from military service by the local exemption board in district 99 will be re-examined by a new board. O.S.

Washington—Predicting a cut in retail bard coal prices and condemning a September 1 boost of more than 10 cents unless miners' wages are increased, the federal trade commission has declared that dealers who raise their prices will be guilty of profiteering. The statement was issued after a heated session between the commission and representative Washington coal dealers whose profits, in the opinion' of the commission based on the dealers' own figures, have been excessive on both bituminous and anthracite coal in the last few months. According to the figures, gross profits on bituminous coal sometimes were as high as $5 a ton and the net profits on anthracite were $1.25 to $1.35 a ton. These profits were declared unjustified. Washington—The administration's program for insuring soldiers, sailors and marine has been placed before congress in identical bills introduced by Senator Simmons and Representative Alexander. Under the terms of the bill, Soldiers, sailors and marines would be enabled to obtain insurance during the war in sums from $1,000 to $10,000, the government takirg the risk and the men paying the premium. The rate would be approximately $8 per $1,000 of insurance and the premiums would be payable by installments out of pay. The chief innovation in the bill is the proposal to compel men and officers to allot a minimum of $15 a month out of their pay to dependent wives and children. Authority also is proposed to compel the men to be insured to deposit, at four per cent interest, with the government and at the discretion of the war and navy departments, so much of their pay as is represented by the difference between the $15 family allotment and half their regular pay. Provision is made for payment of allowances of $5 to $50 monthly by the government to families of men in service. Indemnities for partial and total disability would vary from a minimum of $40 a month for privates up to $200 for higher officers. The education of Injured men in vocations by which they could earn a livelihood also is provided. Passage of Food Control Bill Means Huge Saving to Detroit. Detroit—On the face of coal bids received by the city, Detroit stands to save $950,000, directly due to the passage of legislation controlling food and fuel by congress. About a month ago Mayor Marx received bids that quoted bituminous steam coal at $8 a ton. The mayor decided to wait and see what effect the pending legislation would have. That the city is we!! rewarded for this patience is indicated by bids received now. Several of the bids quoted fuel at $3.25 a ton. Thus a saving of $4.75 is effected. The supply needed by the city is estimated at 200,000 tons. Washington—The constitutionality of the selective military conscription law is to be settled once -for all by tfie United States supreme court. The test is to come up in connection with the conviction before Judge Westenhaven of the United States district court at Cleveland of the three socialist party representatives charged with conspiring to defeat the conscription law. The case will go to trial with the opening of the fall term of court. All other cases will be temporarily set aside. A decision is expected in October. The announcement that the conscription law would go before the supreme court came from the department of justice. In a dozen or more cases over the country where the constitutionality of the conscription law has been assailed the protests of this character have been thrown out of court. There is supreme confidence among all officials that the case will be settled by a unanimous vote of the court sustaining the power of the government to raise armies under the selective system. In fact, government officials regard the case largely as a formality so far as the decision is concerned. M. C. FLYER HITS AUT0f KILLS 4 Car Stalls in Path of Train—Occupants Instantly Killed.

Two days previously Moeller had given Marshal Behrendt his own pistol because President Wilson had decreed that alien enemies cannot possess firearms durinig the period of the war. Moeller is a German and wants to became an American citizen, but cannot because the United States is at war with his native land.

"You don't need to understand. 1 know what I'm doing. I've thought of a way to save us all." An incoherent refusal was upon his lips, but Alalre's face besought him; it was shining with a strange, new ecstasy, and he could not bring himself to deny her. Of what her plan consisted he had only the dimmest idea, but he assured himself that it could by no possibility succeed. After all, what did it matter? he asked himself. They were trapped. This might serve, somehow, to cheat Longorio, and—Alaire would be his wife. "Very well," he stammered, weakly. "What are you thinking of?" "I haven't thought it all out yet, but—" At that moment Dolores returned, bringing with her the three blackhalred, black-shawled house servants, bundling them through the door and ranging them along the wall. Father O'Malley's face was pack* ered; he said, hesitatingly: "My dear madam, this isn't regular; you are not Catholics. How can I bless you?" "Yqn can^ marry us legally, just the same, can't'you?" Alaire was breathing rapidly, and some part of her eagerness began to thrill her hearers, "Oh yes, but—" "Then marry us. And make haste, please! Please 1" Law nodded. He could not speak, for his mouth was dry. His heart was beating violently; his temples were pounding; all the blood of his body seemed centered In his head. Before the eyes of the four wondering women Father O'Malley married them. It seemed to Alaire that he would never reach the end, although, in fact, he stumbled through the ceremony swiftly. Alaire clipped his last words short by crying: "Tell these people so that they'll understand what It all means. Tell them to remember they have seen a marriage by the church." The priest did as he was directed, and his audience signified their understanding. Then Dolores led them o u t CHAPTER X X I I I . The Man of Destiny. "Now, then, I'll explain," said Alaire, turning to the men. "Longorio declares he won't have me except as his wife, and I think he means It. He Is amazingly egotistical. He has tremendous ambitions. He thinks this war is his great opportunity, and he means to be president—he's sure of it. He loves me, but he loves himself better, I'm sure. Now, don't you see? He'll have to choose one or the other." Father O'Malley did not appear to appreciate the full force of this reasoning. "My dear," he said, gravely, "he can make you a widow again. In such times as these men are savages." "Ohf but that's not all." Alaire turned to her newly made husband. 'They let you in, and they'll let you out again—If you go quickly, before It's known what' we've done." Dave stared at her in bewilderment. "I? I go, and—leave you?" He seemed doubtful of her sanity. "Yes." When he laughed shortly, Alaire cried: uDave, you must I Don't you see what Tin driving at? If he can't marry rae, If he finds you're gone and he can't lay hands on you, what can he do but let me go? Dave dear, for my sake, for.the sake of u s both—" "You're excited," he told her, and drew her to himself gently. "Please 1 Please I" she Implored. "You don't know that man," said Father O'Malley, with conviction, But Alaire Insisted, half hysterically now: "I do; that's Just it, I do know frftp He is planning the greatest things for himself, his head Is In the clouds, and he daren't do the things he used to do. That's why I called la those women as witnesses. He can't pot them oat of the way* With Dave gout m be safe, E e can't Ignore our mar* rtage. Bat otherwise— There's no telling what be may do. Why, hell kill yon, Dave, a i he killed Bd." She untamed a face eloquent with pleading. "Won't you iu this for me?** ••NoT Law declared, ftrmly. "You wooldnt ask it If you were In your tenses. Get me a gnn and 1*11 shoot my way o a t Well go antil they stop ms. Bat don't ask me tc leave yon." She searched his face eagerly, piteously, then with a quivering sigh relaxed her tension. '"Then we've only made matters worse. You've spoiled our only chance." Father O'Malley, who had been lost In thought, spoke up again: "Perhaps you will let me try my wits. But first, do I understand that it was he who effected the death of—Mr. Austin?" Dave recounted as coherently as he could the circumstances of Ed's death, and told how he had learned, through Jose, of Longorio's Intentions. As the priest listened a spot of color grew In his cheeks, his eyes,glowed with indignation. He was about to make known what was In his mind when Alaire raised her hand and In a strained whisper exclaimed: " 'Sh-h! Listen !" The heavy door of the hacienda creaked, a quick tread sounded on the tiles, the door to the living room was flung open, and Longorio entered. He was hot and dusty from his ride, but with a lover's impetuosity he had made straight for this lighted room. For the briefest instant he balanced himself just inside the portal, and the smile remained fixed upon his lips. Then his eyes became ringed with white and he made a swift, catlike movement of retreat. Plainly this was the supremest surprise of his lifetime, and he seemed to doubt his senses. But he recovered quickly. Thrusting his head forward, he demanded: "What is this? You—and yon?" He stared from Dave to the priest, then back again. They all spoke at once, but he heard only Alalre's words: "He came to find me." Pancho appeared in the doorway behind Longorio, saying, "I heard you ride up, sir, so I ran to tell you about this fellow." But the general cut him short. "Call your men, quick," he cried in a voice that sent the soldier leaping back Into the night Alaire was clinging to Dave, merely clutching him the tighter when he tried to unclasp her hold. Her movement into the shelter of his rival's arms in* furiated Longorio, who uttered an exclamation and fumbled uncertainly with his holster. But his fingers were clumsy. He could not take his eyes from the pair, and he seemed upon the point of rushing forward to tear them apart. "Don't touch her! Don't—" he began, cursing in a high-pitched voice. "God! What a reckoning!" Then he stamped his feet, he wrung his hands, he called shrilly at the top of his voice: "Lieutenant! I l o , Pancho! You fellows ! Quickly !" Under the stress of his*excitement the feminine side of his character betrayed itself. Alaire felt her newly made husband gather himself for a spring; he was muttering to her to release him; he was trying to push her aside, but she held fast with the strength of desperation. "You can't harm us," she declared, flinging her words defiantly at the Mexican. "You dare n o t You are too late. Father O'Malley has just married us.**" Longorio uttered a peculiar, wordless cry of dismay; his mouth fell open; his arms dropped; he went limp all over, paralyzed momentarily by surprise and horror; his eyes troubled; he swayed as if his sight had blurred. "I said Fd never marry yon,'* she rushed on, vibrantly. "This is the man I love—the only man. Yes, and Pve learned the truth about you, I know who killed Mr. Austin.** Longorio did a very unexpected -thing then; slowly, unconsciously, as If the movement were the result of a halfforgotten training, he crossed hi«*««if, But now from the hall at his back came the pounding of boot-beela, and a half-dozen panting troopers tumbled through the door. He wared them back tad out into the haU again. Father O'Malley, who had been trying to make himself heard, stepped In front of the general and said, solemnly : "Take care what yon do, Longorio. I have married these people, and you can't undo what I have done. We a n American citizens. The laws of dvmV ration protect us." The Mexican fought for his voice, then stammered: "Yon Ire my priest; I brought you here. I offered to marry her. Now—you force me to damn my soul.** Turning his ayes wildly upon Alaire, be shouted: T o o late, eh? You say I am too late! It seem* that I am barely la time." Dave added his words to the others: "You are lea to one', but you can't have her," he cried, defiantly. "Jose Sanchez confessed to the murder uf Mr. Austin, and told how you had got Mrs. Austin to come here. The whole thing is knowu in Washington and Mexico City by this time. The newspapers httve it; .everybody knows you are keeping her as your prisoner, and thut I have come for her. If she is harmed, all Mexico, all the world, will know that you are worse than a murderer." Longorio reached behind his buck and slammed the door in the faces of his listening men. "What is this? What did Jose confess?" he Inquired, sharply. "He swears you hired him." "Bah 1 The word of a pelador." In spite of the man's contemptuous tone Dave saw tM* expression in his face and made a quick decision. "There's a limit to what you dare to do, Longorio. I'm unarmed; I make no resistance, so there is no excuse for violence. I surrender to you, and i-laim protection for myself and my wife." But Longorio wus not to be tricked. "Good!" he cried, triumphantly. "1 have been looking forward to something like this, and I shall give myself a great pleasure." He laid a hand upon the door-knob, bet before he could turn it the Catholic priest had him by the arm, and with u strength surprising in one of his stature wrenched him away. Father O'Malley's face was white and terrible; his voice was deep, menacing; the hand he raised above Longorio seemed to brandish a weapon. "Stop!" he thundered. "Are you a madman? Destruction hangs over you; destruction of body and soul. YOu dare not separate those whom God hath joined." "God! God!" the other shrilled. "I don't believe in him. I am a god ; 1 know of no other." "Blasphemer!" roared the little man. "Listen, then. So surely as you harm these people, so surely do you kill your earthly prospects. You, the first man in Mexico, the dictator indeed! Think what you are'doing before it Is too late. Is your dream of greatness only a dream? Will you sacrifice yourself and all your aspirations in the heat of this unholy and Impossible passion? Tonight, now, you must choose whether you will be famous or Infamous, glorious or shameful, honored or dishonored ! Restrain your hatred and conquer your lust, or forego forever your dreams of empire and pass into oblivion." "You are a meddl&r," Longorio stormed. "You make a loud noise, but I shall rid Mexico of your kind. We shall have no more of you priests." Father O'Malley shook the speaker as a parent shakes an unruly child. "See! You have completely lost your head. But I want you to listen to what I am saying. Whether you are more good than evil, God must Judge, but the people of Mexico are good people, and they will not be ruled by a man who is wholly bad. You have the power to remove this man and this woman, yes, and this priest who dares to point out the pit at your feet; but If you do you will never command another Mexican army. There is no war. We nre not your enemies. The world knows we are here, and it holds you accountable for our safety. Tomorrow you will have to face the reckoning." Longorio listened. It was plain that he recognized the truth of O'Malley's words, but he was convulsed with rage. "Good!" he cried. "I see my dreams dissolve, but I am not the first great man to trade an empire for a woman. Antony, the Roman general, laid his honor in a woman's arms. I - had a shining destiny, but Mexico will be the sufferer by my betrayal. Instead of Longorio the Deliverer, I shall be known as Longorio the Lover, the man who gave all—" O'Malley Interrupted forcefully. "Enough of this! Come with me. I have something more to say to you." He flung open the door into the hall and, taking the general by the arm, fairly dragged him from the room and into the one opposite. The lieutenant and his men looked on in amazement shuffling their feet and shifting their rifle-butts noisily upon the floor. Alaire turned an anxious face to Dave, saying: "He Is wonderful. Longorio is almost—afraid of him." "Yes; he may bring him to his senses. If he doesn't—" Dave cast his eyes desperately over the room, conscious all the time that he was being watched with suspicion by the men outside. , He stirred restlessly and moistened his tips. "Longorio would be crazy to Injure you." Ten minutes passed; fifteen. Alaire leaned, motionless, against the table; Dave paced about, followed by the eyes of the soldiers. One of the latter •truck a match* and In the alienee It sounded like a gunshot Dave started, at which the soldiers laughed. They began to talk in murmurs. The odor of cigarette smoke, drifted in to the man and the woman. Finally the door through which Father OllaUey and Longorio had pasted opened, and the priest emerged. He was alone. His face was flushed and damp; his eyes were glowing. Ue forced the Mexicans out of his way and, entering the livlay room, closed rhe door behind him. "Well?" his two friends questioned, anxiously. "I've done all I cun. The rest is out of our hands." The little man sat down heavily and mopped his forehead. "What does he suy?" "He told uie to come here and wait. I never saw a man so torn, so distracted." "Then he Is wavering. Oh h !" Alaire clasped her hands in thanksgiving, but the father cautioned her: "Don't be too sanguine. He is not afraid of consequences. He appears to have no conscience. He is without mercy and seems lost to shume. I have never met a man quite like hlra. Dd you know what he feels at this moment? Chagrin. YeB, mortification raised to the highest pitch, and a sort of stupefaction that you should prefer another man to hlrn. He can't understand your luck of taste." Father O'Malley smiled faintly. "Conceited Idiot," Dave growled. "His humiliation kills him. When 1 saw that it was useless to appeal to him on moral grounds, and that threats were unavailing, I took another course. Something gave me insight into his mind, and the power to talk as I have never talked before. All in a flash 1 saw the man's soul laid bare before me, and—I think I played upon it with some cunning. I don't remember all 1 said, for I was inspired, but I appealed to his vanity and to his conceit, and as I went along I Impressed upon him, over and over, the fact that the world knows we are here and that it trusts him. He aspires to the presidency ; he believes he is destined to be Mexico's dictator; so I painted a picture that surpassed his own imaginings. He would have been suspicious of mere flattery, so I went far beyond that and inflamed him with such extravagant visions as only a child or an unblushing egotist like him could accept. 1 swelled his vanity; I inflated his conceit. For a moment, at least, I lifted hlra out of himself and raised him to the heights." From beyond the closed door came Longorio's voice, issuing some command to his men. A moment passed; then he appeared before the three Americans. He seemed taller, thinner, more erect and hawklike than ever, His head was held more proudly and his chest was fuller. A set, disdainful smile was graven upon his face. He began by addressing his words directly to Alaire. "Senora," he said, "I am a man of deep feeling and I scorn deceit. Therefore I offer no apology for my recent display of emotion. If I have seemed to press my advances with undue fervor, it is because, at heart, I am as great a lover na I am a statesman or a soldier. But there are other things than love. Nature constituted me a leader, and he who climbs high must climb alone. I offered Chapultepec as a shrine for your beauty. I offered to share Mexico with you, and I told you that I would not be content with less than all of you. Well, I meant it. Otherwise—I would take you now." His voice throbbed with a sudden fierce desire, and his long, lean hands closed convulsively. "You must realize that I have the courage and the power to defy the world eh?" He seemed to challenge denial of this stnU-'mfnt, but, receiving none, he went on, fixing his brilliant, feverish eyes once more upon Alaire. "As a man of sentiment I sim unique; I am different from any you have ever known. I would not possess a flower without its fragrance, You did not believe me when I told you that, but I nra goln# to prove it. AH your life you are going to think of me as heroic. Perhaps no patriot in history ever made a more splendid sacrifice for his country than I make now. Some day the world will wonder how I had the strength to put aside love and follow the path of duty." Alaire trusted herself to ask. "Then we are free to go?" The general's face was sw?pt by a grimace intended for a smile. "I have ordered your horses to be saddled." Dave, who had with difficulty restrained his anger at the fellow's bombast, was upon the point of speaking when Father O'Malley took the words out of his mouth : "Would you send this wnoman out of her own house Into a country l i k e - like this? Remember the fortune la cattle you have already taken—' (TO BE CONTINUED.) An Unusual Bird. A black loon was shot In Washo* Lake. Cal. Such a bird has never been seen there before, and it is supposed to have been driven oat of its cours* by a storm while migrating south from the Arctic regions.

SOLD SHOTGUN FOR TEN DOLLARS And Filed on Western Canada Land. Now Worth $50,000. Lawrence Bros, of Vera, Saskatchewan, are looked upon as being amongst the most progressive fanners in Western Canada. They have hud their "ups-and-downs," and know what it Is to be in tight pinches. They persevered, and are now In an excellent financial position. Their story is an interesting one. Coming In from the states they traveled overland from Calgary across the Battle river, the Red Deer river, through the Eagle Hills and on to Battleford. On the way their horses were stolen, but this did not dishearten them. They had some money, with which they bought more horses, and some provisions. When they reached Battleford they had only money enough to pay their ferriage over the Saskatchewan river, and this they had to borrow. It was in 1908 that they filed on homesteads, having to sell a shotgun for ten dollars In order to get sufficient money to do so. Frank Lawrence says : "Since that time we have acquired altogether a section and a half of land, in addition to renting another three quarters of a section. If we had to sell out now we could probably realize about $50,000, and have made all this since we came here. We get crops In this district of from 30 to 35 bushels of wheat to the acre and oats from 40 to 80 bushels to the acre. Stock here pays well. We have 1,700 sheep, 70 cattle and 60 horses, of which a number ere r mistered Clydes." Similar successes might be given of the experiences of hundreds of farmers throughout Western Canada, who have done comparatively as well. Why should they not dress well, live well, have comfortable homes, with all modern equipments, electric light, steam heat, pure ventilation, and automobiles. Speaking of automobiles it will be a revelation to the reader to learn that during the first half of 1917, 16,- 000 automobile licenses were Issued In Alberta, twice as many as In the whole of 1916. In Saskatchewan, 21,000 licenses were Issued up to the first of May, 1917. In Its monthly bulletin for June the Canadian Bank of Commerce makes special reference to this phase and to the general prosperity of the West in the following: "Generally speaking the western farmer Is, In many respects, In a much better position than hitherto to Increase his production. Two years of high prices for his products have enabled him, even with a normal crop, to liquidate a substantial proportion of his llabilltjes and at the same time to buy Improved farm machinery. His prosperity Is reflected In the demand for building materials motor cars and other equipment. It Is no doubt true that Home extravagance Is evidenced by the astonishing demand for motor cars, hut It must be remembered that many of these cars will make for efficiency on the fnrm and economize both time and labor."—Advertisement Slight Mistake.

Review of War ['umiuued from tirei pag«z] pregnable ami that the UusMan drive uejtded by Bvuslloff In Bukotvina uud eastern Galicla * * * proceeding with* lrretdfctible force toward the Stokhod and the Dniester. E m p h a s i s was given to the hopeful view by Italian success on both fronts in AUHtrta. The great Austrian drive which began in April and alme<J at the expulsion of invading armies from Trentiuo had been checked. This was a negative victory because the Austrian spoils had been heavy uud the 'demand on Italian troops had interfered with Italy's aggressive movements in the south, where the objective of the Italians was Trieste. The fortified town of Goritz burred the way from- the Isoi«*e river t o w a r d Trieste, and after a long and costly siege it fell on Aug. 9. Still further progress of the allied cause in the southeastern field laid fresh emphasis to Von Hind e u b u r l ' s assertion that the war in-ust be fought-out in Tl>e east. Russia was making headway in Asia Minor, marching from bases in her home territory, with her armies backed up by her own flret on tlie Black sea. T h i s was really a strategic extension of her new line in Bnkowina and Galicia. Roumania Attacks German Rear. As matters stood then, the third year opened with a serious outlook for Germany. Verdun was untaken, and the allies had stormed the third German line on the Somme front, Rrusi- 1 eft's Russian column had indeed been checked on the Stokhod and Dniester, but Its presence that far south on the • road to Hungary compelled Austria to keep a strong force north of the Carpathian mountains. Then cainte a blow which lifted the hopes of the allies to the highest pitch—Roumania turned upon the Teutons. T h e situation at that time was as follows: The belligerents were at a deadlock on the Somme line, the Italians in Goritz, the supposed key to Trieste, and the allied column from Saloniki moving north into Macedonia to strike Bulgaria in the rear was making p r o g r e s s For the moment it seemed the allies had the advantage in that zone where the decision was to be reached—the near east. Between Two Fires. It was alleged that Roumania would add^lOO.000 men to the enemies of Germany. Roumania's first movo scored a tactical victory. Her troops crossed the frontier northward into Transylvania, where they wore joined by a Russian column, which mnrched westward, far off on the southeastern flank of the Germans on the Dniester. Forcing the mountain passes, the Roumanians captured Kronstadt and Orsova, but the triumph was not for long. A column of Bulgars, Germans and Turks, led by Von Mackensen, crossed the Danube from the south Into Roumania. taking 20,000 prisoners ill the first blow. Almost simultaneously Van Falkenhayn's mixed army of Germans and Austi'Ums drove down from the north upon the invading Roumanians, captured passes in their rear nnd destroyed their armies. Kronstadt was recaptured. Ry the middle of October the Roumanians were in full retreat back over tfodr border on the north. On the south the Germnas had captured the main Roumanian pert of Constanza, forced the enemy to evacuate Cemavodn, oil the DanulK?. and destroyed the bridge. Collapse of Roumania. With the exception of a weak support by her nearest ally, Russia. Roumania got no direct help. Early in November the allies launched a new jrrand attack on the Somme, and Franco- Servians attacked Monastir, on the southern front. But neither of these diversions checked Gorman progress In Ruumnniu. The uorthern column, coming down from Austria-under Yon Falkenhayn, moved southeast into Roumania and met a composite force of Bulgars, Turks and" G e r m a n s which Von Mackensen was leading northwest, fifty miles west of t h e Roumanian capital, Bukharest, In vain Russia began a new drive in the Carpathian^, The Roumanians, strong in numbers, but weak In resisting power, were overcome, and In the last week of 1916 the Teutons were In B u k h a r e s t America In the War. Two events of sudden development in t h e third year of the w a r m a y have a deciding influence—namely, the entrance of the United States as an ally of t h e entente powers and t h e collapse of Russia's aggressiveness. During t h e early months of the year t h e s u b m a r i n e dispute between this country and Germany quieted down. A C boat brought the w a r into western Atlantic waters by sinking neutral ships off Nantucket shoals in October, but t h e German pledge to safeguard neutral live* w a s observed. On Dec. 12 G e r m a n y and her allies, Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey, proposed peace negotiations, naming the United States as one of the intermediaries. On the 18th President Wilson sent a note to all belligerents asking them to n a m e their terms. Meanwhile the allies replied to Germany, declining a conference, and Germany replied to Wilson, evading the iiueetlon «f t e r m s and putting off the* dlHoussioti ef p e r m a n e n t peace ttuti) t h e end of the war.

This the United States declined UMU'SS the new submarine order was withdrawn. After Yon Bernstorff suiled find Gerard was oiit of Germany the state department disclosed a German, plot to involve the United spates with J a p a n uud Mexico. War measures followed \ rapidly. Congress expired March -1 ; without indorsing UK* president's "arm- I I'd neutrality" policy. A special session j of the new congress was summoned to tneel April 'J, and meanwhile the president ordered armed guards placed on our merchant ships voyaging abroad.

The Russian Setback. During the efforts to secure a diplomatic peace Russia stood firm. The duma rejectedGermany's proposals,and the Imperial government indorsed Wilson's peace league note. Russian support of Roumania had never been strong and entirely dropped away in the winter. It seemed that Russia was powerless. A revolution in which the troops and their generals figured deposed the czar the middle of March, and there began a state of military indecision and inactivity while factions contended for political control at Petro* grad. Early in February the German retrograde began north of the Somme. Bapaume and Peronne, the goals of months of bloody struggles, yielded the middle of March to the allies led by Nivelle and Haig, and shortly the Germ a n s turned and l>egan to resist vigorously all along the front. "Special reasons" was B e r l i n s explanation of this great and masterly retreat. Fur- Court, held nt t h e P r o b a t e Office in t h e City of Howell in said County, on t h e 8th day of Aug. A.

The entrance of the United States as an ally led to an announcement by British and French commissioners sent here for conference, among them Marshal Joffre, that the resources of linglaud, France and Italy in men, money, food and munitions were at a low ebb, and Russia must be considered as virtually eliminated as an apgressive foree. These frank disclosures caused surprise and deep anxiety on this side of the ocean, the more so because the ruthless U boat operations, which begrun in February, had been more destructive than expected by the allies. although their toll bad fallen far short of Germany's estimate—1,000,000 tons per month. The destruction of freight ships varied from week to week during March, April and May, but the total was so great as to forebode disaster unless the evil w a s speedily suppressed. The entente's money problem was quickly solved by affording heavy credits to pay for their supplies brought here. A commission, headed by Elihu Root, repaired to Russia to swing t h e weight of the United States on t h e side of the forces in authority who favor a continuance of the w a r on Germany. The response to calls for troops and immense war funds a n d the successful registry for the draft; followed by the safe arrival of a large expeditionary force in France, led to a reaction during J u n e from the misgivings and uncertainties which had prevailed for weeks. Notable among the closing events of the third year of war are the renewal of attacks upon the Austrian fronts by Italian and Russian armies. The Italian movement began early in J u n e and had for its object the recovery of positions in the Trentino, which the Auatrians had captured in their great spring drive of 1916.

They have ten days in which to hie tiheir affidavits showing why their request for exemption should be granted, BO the board , naturally cannot decide definitely upon* who will be ex^mdted until the ten days are u|). We understand that letters are being prepared today ready to send to 50 more registrants, the next 50 on the list as doawD ready for examination next Monday, Aug. 13. Whether more will need to be called to get the 124 from this county conoot weft be determined untri the exemptions have been acted upon. Liv. Republican. Martial spirit is very much in evidence at the annual Boys' State F&ir School and it is largely through the -army discipline maintained at all titles that the Boys' camp has proved «o successful during the many years tt has been conducted on the Pair Grounds. The encampment will be field this* year during the Michigan State Fair from August 31 to September 9. Besides a form of recreation and entertainment, the school provides a liberal fund of knowledge of farm products and live stock through the demonstrations and lectures which are especially arranged for the benefit of the boys In attendance. Camp Birkett Gives Pi nek ney Some Practice For some reason unknown to us the South Lyons team did not care to play last Saturday, and so Mgr. Swarthout was obliged to do some bustling. Stockbridge could not come, and as Camp Birkett had wanted a game for some time, the boys took this occasion to give them satisfaction. The Y. M. C. A. boys however failed to make it interesting for Pinckney. A t the end of five innings the score was 17 to 0 in favor of Pinckney, and as the boys had all the practise they wanted, they deed to call it a game. A good crowd ifeaB in attendance. Brighton Band to Give Free Concerts The members of the Brighton Concert band have conceived a patriotic idea in deciding to furnish a series of concerts to the people of the surround* ing cities and villages during the present month. These will be given for the purpose ot aiding the work of the Red Cross, and an offering will be taken at each concert and turned over to the local committee, The bancfwill not receive one cent of the proceeds. They gave the first concert at South Lyons, Aug, 1. —Brighton Argus. To Patrons of Our Schools Last winter at our school offioers meeting the officers directed the County book committee to complete the list of books for rural schools. In order not to make it burdensome for anyone a part of the list was put in last year and the committee has completed the list this year. We believe with good up-to-date' books and a uniform list that our schools are prepared for more efficient work, j We know there is occassionaly a per- S •son who objects to buying a new school. book but if he will stop to think, the j two important factors in the school are ( text books and the teacher. Only two per cant of the educational dollar is ex-• ©ended for books so you see the books are only a small item of the expense of ' *he school. i I hope that every district will at the opening of school adopt the complete list and start ths school off right It will be for the best inteteat of your children and with good text books your money for school purposes will be wisely expended. There has been no raise in price of books. Won't you look over the new books. I believe you will find them interesting and that you will be glad to co-operate with your board and teacher in getting the new books in your school as soon as school begins. The books reccomffitnded are: Histories—Mace—by Rand-M cNally Co. Physiologies—Ritchie—by World Book Co. Overton—by American Book Co. Geographies— Brigham — McFarlaine Book Co. Government— H. S.

Sykes, son of Samuel and Lucinda Perry Sykes was born at Pinckney, Feb. 122, 1758 and died at his home in Detroit, July 29, 1917. He was united in marriage to Julia Mann Feb. 26, 1880. In 18^0 they moved to Williamston and in 1891 to Detroit where he engaged in the insurance business which he continued until he became incapcitated by his recent sickness. He was married a second time Sept. 18, 1895 to Anna Marie Baker of Detroit He is survived by his widow and one brother, C. P. Sykes of Pinckney. To George Sykes belongs the credit of the Pinckney "Home Coming" which has been a source of much pleasure to the "Old Boys and Girls," greeting friends of long ago. Years ago the "Boys" used to "come back home" but never all in the same, year, so they did not meet each other. George proposed an association, which was organized with the first meeting in 1904. There being one other the same year at another village. These were the first in the state. Many of the friends are from distant cities and "All loved the roads that have green sides of grass" and longed to come "Back to the home of our childhood, Back to the dear old wildwood; Back to the old home ways." George Sykes is not dead, for an influence of a life like his never dies but will live on through the ages. "Sweet harbors of release for him the gateway opes into the paths of peace."

He Is out to challenge all comers in the Physical Cultor* Body Building Contest at the Mfchf gan State Fair at Detroit, August 31 to Seat. 9. But three yean old, George is beyond the age limit for the Better Ba bies' Contest. Determined to match his physical development with anyone in competition, he went into the Body Building Contest for grownups and will compete for distinction against men eight and ten times hi* age. George's uncle, John D. Clapp, alac in thi Army Will Bring Home Men Who Fall In War The Purple Cross, one of the oldest organizations, has made it possible for the burial of soldiers and marines who may lose their hves while fighting in France. Fo Ho wing the closing of the j war, every man who fell in defence of i his country, his. remains will be sent i home to this country and placed at the | disposal of his relatives and friends for j interment. Even should the conflict continue for several years, it will be possible at that time, under the present plan, to recognize the bodies of the j dead heroes. At the present twme 1150,000 are pledged by wealthy men for the embalming of the bodies. Em- Maimers are on the ground daily for that purpose should they ever be called into action. After the embalming, the bodies will be taken from the battle line and interred until after the war, when they will be sent home, each grave being properly marked. The American Purple Cross movement has received nation wide indorsement. Undertaker Harry Goodrich of Howell has been a member of the organization for a number of years. At the present time a bill, No. S410, is before congress asking for sn appropriation to be used for this purpose.

"But I'm half crazed with my own troubles. You must come Into the house; the best I have is yours. You shall be as much my guest as I can make you, and—perhaps you will help me to escape." "Escape?" The Iltue man smiled mournfully. "You are watched and guarded, and so am I. Even If you got away from here, what then? You can't imuglne the condition of the country." "I won't marry him!" Alalre cried, with a shudder. **I won't!" "He can't very well force you to do so. But remember, these are war times; the man Is a fiend, and he puts no restraint upon his desires. If he Is madly bent on having you, how can you prevent It? In normal times he would not dare injure one so prominent as you. but now—" Father O'Malley lifted up his hands. **I only wonder that he suggests a lawful marriage. Suppose you refuse? Will he not sacrifice you to his passions? He has done worse things."' After a moment's consideration, ha said: "Of course It Is possible that I misjudge him. Anyhow, if you desire me to do so, I will refuse to perform the ceremony. But—I'm afraid it will Just mean ruin for both of us." "Surely he wouldn't harm you?" The father shrugged. "What am I? An obscure priest. Many of my brothers are burled In Mexico. However, I shall do as you wish." As the day wore on Alaire realized even more clearly the fact that she wns Longorio's prisoner. His men, in sort of hypnotic murmur, as if her words Issued at his mental suggestion And all the time she snuggled against his b r e a s t "Deurestl" Dave held her awaj in gentle hands. "I was afraid you'd go to pieces like this, but I had to break through the best way I could. I learned yon were here and something about what was going on from the people at the next ranch. But I expected to and him here, too." "How did you manage to get here?" "1 hardly know. I Just wouldn't let 'em stop me. This lieutenant wouldn't let me In until I told hint I was from Monterey with Important news. I don't remember all I did tell him. I tried to get here last night, but I had trouble. They caught me, and I had to buy my way through. I've bribed and bullied and lied clear from Romero. I reckon they couldn't imagine I'd risk being here if I wasn't a friend." > It waa more Dave's tone than hla words that roused Alalre to an approelation of what he said. "Are you alone?" she asked, in vague dismay. "Then what are we going to do?" "I don't know yet. My plana ended here." "Dave I You rode in Just to find me 1 Just to be with me?" "Yes. And to get him." Alalre saw his face twitch, and realized that it was very haggard, very old and tired. "They lifted my guns—a bunch of fellows at the Rio Negro crossing. Some of them were drunk and wouldn't believe I was an amlgo. So I finally had to ride for it." "Can't you take me away?" she asked, faintly.

He bowed over Alalre's cold fingers then stood erect until she and Dolores had gone. C H A P T E R X X I I . The Priest From Monclova. That was a night of terror for tli» women. Although Longorio's discipline was in some ways strict, In others it was extremely lax. From some quarter his men had secured a supply of mescal, and, forgetful of Felipe's •unhappy fate, they rendered the hour* hideous. There were singing and qunr reling. and a shot or two sounded from (the direction of the outbuildings. Morning found both Alalre and Dolores leadly overwrought. But they feh isome relief upon learning that the genieral had been unexpectedly summon^] ^rom his bed at daylight, and had rlu den to the telegraph office. Profiting by his absence, Alaire ventured from her room, racking her brain to devise some means of escape. Bur soldiers were everywhere; they lolled around the servants' quarters; they dozed in the shade of the ranch bandings, recovering from the night's debauch; and an armed sentinel who paced the hacienda road gave evidence t h a t despite their apparent carelessness, they had by no means relaxed their vigilance. A round of the prem lses convinced Alalre that the place Was actually guarded, and showed her Hie futility of trying to slip away. She realized, too, that even if she managed t o do so, her plight would he little better. For how could she hope to cover the hundred miles between La and the Rio Grande when every was an enemy? £ h e was standing In one of the open sasiiliss windows when her former ptsjj+ctOT, the old lieutenant, bade her good morning and panned to smoke a "Well It was a great night, wasn't $tV he began.

Alalre inquired. "Miserably poor." "Would you like to make a great deal of money?" "Dlos! That is why I'm a soldier." "I will pay you well to get me two horses—" But old Pancho shook his head vigorously. "Impossible! General Longorio is going to marry you. We all got drunk last night to celebrate the wedding. Yes, and the priest Is waiting." "I will make you rich." "Ho ! I wouldn't live to spend a single peso. Felipe disobeyed orders, and the general shot him before he could cross himself. Boom! The poor fellow was passed in a minute. No. We will all be rich after we win a few battles nnd capture some American . cities. I am an old man; I shall leave the drinking and the women to the • young fellows, and prepare for my old age." Seeing thnt she could not enlist Pancho's aid, Alalre begged him to fetch the priest. I "You wish spiritual comfort, senora?" j "Perhaps." 1 "Well, he doesn't look like much of a priest, but probably he will do. As for me, I don't believe in such things. Churches are all very well for Ignorant people, but we Mexlcnns are too lntel- , llgent; we are making an end of them." j The priest was a small, white-haired man with a gentle, almost timid face, and at the moment when he appeared before Alalre he was in anything but a happy frame of mind. He had undergone, he told her, a terrible experience. His name was O'Malley. He had come from Monclava, whence the rebels had banished him under threat of death. He had seen his church despoiled of Its valuables, his school closed; he himself had managed to escape only by a miracle. During his flight toward the border he had suffered every indignity, and finally Longorio had Intercepted him and brought him here, practically In chains. "What a situation 1 What chaos I" he lamented. - "The land is overrun with bandits; there Is no law. no authority, no faith; religion is made a mockery. The men <ire becoming infidels and atheists, and in many places they will not allow us to give comfort even to their women." "Is it as bad as t h a t r Father O'Malley shook his head sadly. "You've no idea. What do you think of a people who forbid the mention of God's name In their schools? That Is what the revolutionists are doing. Candelerla claims that the churches are the property of the state. He confiscates them, and he charges admission. He has banished all except a few of ua priests, and has shamefully persecuted our Sisters of Mercy. Oh. the outrages] Mexico la, today, the blackest spot on the map of Christendom." His voice broke.

"I her finally that he was staying away j was afraid I wouldn't find you. I - purposely, In order to give her a fuller appreciation of her position—so that she might beat her wings against the cage until exhausted. Afternoon came, then evening, and still Longorio did not return. Father O'Malley could give scant comfort; Dolores was a positive trial. Half distracted, Alalre roamed through the house, awaiting her captor's coming, steeling herself for their final battle. But the delay was trying; she longed for the crisis to come, that this terrible suspense might be ended. At such an hour her thoughts naturally turned to Dave Law, and she found herself yearning for him with a yearning utterly new. His love had supported her Uirough those miserable days at Las Palmas, but now it was a torture; she called his name wildly, passionately. He knew her whereabouts and her peril—why did he not come? Then, more calmly,, she asked herself what he, or what anyone, could do for her. How could she look for succor when two nations were at war? Night had come before she finally gave up and acknowledged the hopelessness of her situation. She had fought bravely, but with darkness her fears grew blacker. She was on the verge of her first breakdown, when, in the early dusk outside, she heard voices and the stamping of horses' hoofs. The sounds were muffled by the heavy wooden shutters she had taken pains to close and bar, but they tokl her Longorio had returned. Since It was futile to deny him entrance, she waited where she was. Old Pancho's voice sounded outside; then there came a knock upon the door of the room In which she stood. • " r ne In," she said tensely. The lieutenant thrust his head In, and, removiug his hat, announced. "There Is someone here to see General Longorio on important business. He says you will do." "I." "Yes. He says he is one of us—" Pancho was pushed aside, the door was flung back, and a man strode swiftly into the lamplight. He paused, blinking as If momentarily blinded, and Alaire clutched at the nearest chair for support. A roaring began in her ears; she felt herself sway forward as if the strength had left her knees. She heard Dave's voice faintly; he was saying: "Take care of my horse. Feed and water her well, Understand? When General Longorio comes tell him I am waiting here." As If In a dream, Alalre saw the Mexican go out, closing the door behind him. Then she saw Dave come toward her, heard him speak her name, felt his arras around her. Alalre did not swoon, but she never could remember very distinctly those first few moments. Scarcely knowing what she did, she found herself cllng- 4ng to her lover, laughing, weeping, feeling him over with shaking hands that would not t>e convinced of bis reality. She was aware of his kisses upon her ltpa, her eyes, her hair; he was saying something which she could not understand because of that roaring In her ears. "You heard me calling," she told him at last. "Oh, I was—so frightened!" She clang closer to him. After a time she discovered that she was mechanically nodding and shaking her head at the questions he was potting to her, but had only the vaguest idea what they were. By and by she began to tea O God, Alaire!" He buried his face In her hair. "I had at terrible scene with him last night. He Insists upon marrying me. I—1 was hoping you'd come." "How could I, when nobody knew where you were?" "Didn't you know? I wrote you." He shook his head. "Then how did you learn?" "From Jose. I caught him within an hour of the murder, and made him tell me everything." Alaire's eyes dilated; she held herself away, saying, breathlessly: "Murder! Is that what It was? He—Longorio— told me something quite different." "Naturally. It was he who hired Jose to do the shooting." "Oh-h I" Alalre hid her face in her hands. She looked up again quickly, however, and her cheeks were white. "Then he won't spare you, Dave." She choked for an Instant. "We must get away before he comes. There -must be some way of escape. Think !" "I'm pretty tired to think. I'm pretty near played out," he confessed. "They're watching me, but they'd let you go." "Now that I'm here I'm going to stay until—" She interrupted, crying his name loudly, "Dave!" "Yes. What is it?" "Wait! Let me think." She closed her eyes; her brows drew together as if in the labor of concentration. When she lifted her lids her eyes were alight, ht>r voice was eager. "I know how. I see It. He won't dare— But you mustdo what I tell you." "Of course." "No questions. Understand?" When he nodded Impatiently she ran to the door and, flinging It open, called down the ball: "Father! Father O'Malley I Quick!" Then she summoned Dolores. The priest answered; he hurried from his room and, with a dased'taclr of comprehension, acknowledged hi? swift introduction to Dave. Alalre was" keenly al|ve and vibrant with purpose now. Dolores, too, came running, and while the men were exchanging greet ings her mistress murmured something in her ear, then hastened her departure with a quick push. Turning upon the others. Alalre explained: "I've sent for some of the women, and they'll be here In a minute. Fa ther, this man has come for me. He loves me. Will you marry us before Longorio arrives?" "Alaire!" Dave exclaimed. She stilled him with a gesture "Quick I Will y o u r Father O'Malley was bewildered. **J don't understand," he expostulated. (TO BB CONTINUED.)

And the earth refused to open and swallow him.

A Chicago teacher, wrftiag to the Illinois Issue, calls attention to one feature of tbe liquor evil which "editor* and doctors and reformers overlook," namely, the "immeasurable waste in teachers' efforts caused by alcoholism." In regions, she sayi:, "where saloons have always been abundant and conditions of living— usually because of alcoholism—are bad, at least one-third of the average teacher's time is required to merely hold in check and partially develop the children of alcoholics. Most of the abnormal and subnormal children have alcoholism In their families, and the sins of the father ere visited upon the children even unto the third and fourth generation. "These children have one grave fault in common. They cannot concentrate the mind long on any one subject—not long enough to follow the thought of the lesson. In some this takes the form of irritation or rebellion, and In others there Is the stupor, the deadness, that defies the most interesting lesson and the most magnetic teacher. "Of course this waste is a loss to the normal pupils, whose teaching must lag while these weak ones are given special help. If we could eliminate wholly the effects of alcoholism, which would require more than one generation, elementary education might easily be accomplished In seven or even six years Instead of eight years, as at present required. "High school and college teacher? would probably not agree with this statement, for the simple reason that the descendants of alcoholics seldom get to high school or college." ARMY OFF1CER8 AND ALCOHOL. Under the above caption the "How tc Be Healthy" department of the Chicago Herald, conducted by the Life Ex tension Institute, has a timely article. It says In part: "Grenfell, Kitchener and Roberts of Great Britain, Von Haeseler of Germany and Wahlberg of Finland, have testified that, from their keen observation on soldiers engaged in warfare, abstainers from alcohol can stand up under hard work better than nonabstainers, even though they drink In socalled moderation. "A certain doctor took two gangs of soldiers and set them to work at the same kind of manual labor. To ont gang he gave an alcoholic beverage. To the other gang he gave none. The gang without the alcohol did far more work than the gang with It. "The next time he tried the same experiment he shifted the gangs. Again the gang without the alcohol did the most work, showing that the result oi the first experiment was not due to a superiority of the men."

EUROPE IS TURNIN6 TO PEACE Reports From Warring Countries Show Desire for Early End of War. LACK OF ENTHUSIASM FEARED Large Numbers in Various Parts of Country Wished to Resign When Tasks Proved Too Arduous. Lansing—"Drafters drafted" might be chosen as the title of a little com-. edy drama staged Friday in all cities i of the country, with Provost Marshal General Crowder in the "heavy" role. Fearing th«rl members of district j exemption boards might lose some of their patriotic fervor and throw up their jobs, Uncle Sam took preventive measures. A communication was received at all district boards from the war department notifying them that for the length of the war, no member of the board could resign. The communication, addressed to the members of each board, and signed by General Crowder, was briefly this: 'Having taken the oath of office as an official of the United States, you are to consider yourself virtually drafted for the duration of the war. Only under the most extraordinary circumstances will resignations be accepted, and then only when approved by the governor of your state." | The government's decision to draft the draft officials is believed to have been precipitated by efforts of a con- \ siderable number in various parts of the country to quit when they found j that their tasks would prove more arduous than they at first supposed. Young Doctori Can't Examine Men. Another draft rule that is raising some ructions, especially in the larger cities, is that prohibiting the employment of any physician of draft age to examine men drawn for military service. A great many of t h e ; older medical men joined local base \ hospital units, and as a consequence, there is a shortage of doctors above . selection age. i London—Europe, bled white by three years war, many of her cities in ruins, her people burdened by debts of billions which this generation or the next will never repay, is turning again to thoughts of peace and rehabitation. This has become more than ever evident. The word which has been breathed for three years only in the secrecy of Europe's chancellories is now being openly discussed in public by leaders of the warring nations. David Lloyd George, British prime minister, Saturday flatly predicted an early victory. He was speaking be fore a great patriotic meeting In Queens Hall, commemorative of the third anniversary of the war. In Berlin, Chancellor Michaelis, back from an interview with the Emperor of Austria who is known to" be anxious to the point of impatience for peace, while conceding that peace prospects were not promising, hinted that "unexpected developments" might make a sudden change in the outlook. Meanwhile, tottering Russia, anxious for peace, but determined to fight to hold her newly won liberty, is desperately trying to reorganize her cabinet and compose her internal affairB. Germany, meanwhile, is completing the reorganization of her own cabinet— the so-called "peace cabinet" of the "peace chancellor" Michaelis. Vienna continues to inspire peace talk. The Emperor is anxious for any sort of agreement that will guarantee the empire its former boundaries. This desire is inspired, it is believed, by the fact that Austria-Hungary is rapidly nearing the end of her resources, human, financial and industrial. Hungary is declared in Swiss dispatches to have raised the age limit of her army to 52 years, all landstrum under that age being called to the colors. NEW COMMANDER FOR RUSS ARMY Gen.

A report was also received that hundreds of draft rioters were causing disturbances im Oklahoma. Measures were at oaee adopted to quell all riots. Much of the trouble la attributed to the Industrial Workers U the World, who axe said to hare incited the farmers to rebellion. TO COURT MARTIAL DRAFT RES1STERS REGISTRANTS WHO FAIL TO REPORT W H E N CALLED FACE DESERTION CHARGE. EXAMINATIONS NOW BEING MADE Orders For Mobilisation of Selected Men Wilt Be Given Some Time During Present Month. W W V W W W w W W w W f l r V W w V Michigan News Tersely Told Washington—Registered men who resist the selective draft law face military court martial for desertion and the possibility of execution for desertion in time of war. The whole military and civil power of the federal government and the civil power of the federal government and the civil power of the states, cities or counties will be employed to bring them to book. This was announced in a formal statement Saturday by Brig.-Gen. Enoch M. Crowder, provost marshalgeneral, in response to reports from North Carolina, Georgia and Oklahoma of anti-draft disturbances. Gen. Crowder said failure of men called for examination under the draft law automatically inducted them into the military service. Failure to report was equivalent to desertion;, and the whole strength of the military Is available to apprehend deserters, if it was necessary to use force. In practice, under Gen. Crowder's construction of the law, registered men who do not appear for examinanation will be posted to the district boards as selected for military service as soon as the five-day period allowed them to put in an appearance after they have been summoned has elapsed. Two days more will elapse after their names reach the district board to await appeal action by the individual. They will then be posted to the adjutant general of the state as selected to fill the quotas of their district. Mobilization This Month. Orders for the mobilization of thn selected men will be r,iven some time d.jring the present w>nth. it the register fails to obey that order, he v.'M be set down as absent without itave and the r.achinery of tt"< army will be set in motion to brin-v h/.ui in. In addition, all Btate and municipal police authorities and United States marshals will be used to apprehend him. When it is clear that he is wilfully absenting himself with no intention of reporting to the prmy, a charge of desertion will be placed against him, From that time OD, any civil officer who arrests him will earn a reward of $50. If found guilty by court martial of desertion, the individual may be sentenced to death and only the president can save him from punishment.

Dark corners of a room need lighting up, and light-colored, brilliant flowers never look so well as when standing o u t against a half-light. Yellow is an exquisite bit of color for such a corner- Let all the flower and foliage for liome decoration be fresh and, however simple their form, they are lovely, not only as graceful objects, 'but as suggestive of something more beautiful still. Avoid fantastic-colored or shaped vases. The simple beauty of the flowers is lost In such a holder. Clear glass and the soft greens of Bohemian make are most useful receptacles. Let the lines of the vase or bowl be simple and flowing and, however cheap the substance of which the vase is made, we shall not err. Strive to produce the effect of the flower when growing, and the error of cutting off the lovely grey-green stalks of daffodils and cramming them into a flat dish, or putting a handful of violets into a tube specimen glass will be Impossible. There are many little contrivances nowadays that help wonderfully in the attractive arrangement of flowers. The littte Japanese frogs with holes In their backs that sit flat in the bottom of a bowl and hold out primly and gracefully a few precious stalks of bloom are to be had for a few cents, and are well worth alt they cost. With such an arrangement three or four daffodils with their golden glow can bring a bit of sunshine into a dreary room and add a beauty that an armful of exquisite roses crammed Into an ugly vase could never give. Color harmony in flower arrangement should be well thought out, not only In regard to the relative position of one flower with another, but .also with the room in which the vase is to have place. Colors that blend out-of-doors, be cause of the gradations In shade caused by atmospheric effects and t h e relieving sprays of green, would produce discord when massed in a room, but inharmonious effects can be avoided by observing a few general rules. Wall pockets holding pussy willow In the spring, or bits of copper beech or gorgeously turned autumn leaves In the fail, are graceful objects and give a harmonious note in the home decoration. Now that flowers can be secured the year round, the problem having been solved by the gardeners after years of probing, some sort of bloom should have daily place in our homes. The intimate association with such loveliness gladdens the heart and quickens the senses and inspires all that is best within us. CRIMSON RAMBLER Some roses, the crimson rambler for instance, seem particularly liable to mildew. If outdoors the disease may be kept in check by using the aramonlacal solution of copper carbonate applied faithfully with a sprayer, about every two or three weeks, or oftener, If the case seems to require it. Hyposulphite of soda, used in proportion of half an ounce to ten gallons of water, Is a good spray. In some cases, however, nothing serves to do any good. In Rice Fields. Rice lands are usually ploughed a short time before planting time, and in some parts of southern Louisiana the land is so low and wet and the soil so stiff as to necessitate ploughing in the water. Deep ploughing Is recommended by leading rice experts. It has been demonstrated that the better the soil and the more thoroughly it is pulverized the better the crop. The roots of annual cultivated plants do not feed much below the plough line; It Is therefore evident that deep cultivation places more food within reach of the plant "^7 *38?*§5 'WM W; :"|-J jp—•j-Tg^-C-S EARTH ROAD GRADE Stability of Embankments Is of Great Importance. CAREFUL SCRUTINY IS URGED To Prevent Damage by Shrinkage Material Used Must Be Free From Vegetable Matter and Uniformly Compacted. (Prepared by the United States Department ot Agriculture.) One of the most important considerations connected with the grading of an earth road is the stability of the embankments. Where a road is situated in a cut and is well drained, it is not likely to be affected seriously by such agencies as shrinkage, settlement, and slipping, any one of which may Injure or destroy a road situated on a poorly constnNjted embankment. In grading a road, therefore, the methods employed In building the embankments are deserving of much more careful scrutiny than those employed In making excavations. To preveat a road over an embankment from being damaged by shrinkage of the material forming the embankment, the material must be free from vegetable matter and uniformly compacted as It Is deposited. Where the road surface Is to be of earth, the embankment usually may be compacted sufficiently to prevent Injury from shrinkage by spreading the material in relatively thin horizontal layers and letting each layer be compacted by the grading teams as the succeeding layer Is being spread. Layers of ordinary earth, not more than 12 Inches thick, can be compacted fairly well in this way, provided that the grading teams are made to travel over the entire surface of each layer, and that the material Is spread uniformly. Where the road surface Is to be of some highly Improved type, each layer of the embankment should be rolled thoroughly with a power roller weighing not less than about ten tons* Settlement of embankments, aside from that due to shrinkage, may be caused by the gradual flattening of the slopes or by lack of stability of the ground surface over which the embankment is constructed. The question of ground surface stability usually does not arise as a grading problem except where an embankment is being constructed over very marshy laud. If proper precautions are not observed, the embankment material may be absorbed gradually by the mnrsh until the entire roadbed ha < di.-v.pijpared, an occurrence which Is not infrequent. Where drainage of the marsh is impracticable, the lower portion of the embankment, which would come in contact with the marsh water, should be formed of some nonslaklng material that will cement together and distribute the weight of the embankment over the entire bottom area. Some varieties of gravelly clay are excellent for this purpose. Where the marshy matter is very soft and deep, It may be necessary to lay- a wide foundation bed of logs, or fascines, upon whfch to construct the embankment, but such a foundation bed would not obviate the necessity for using a nonslaklng material in the lower portion of the embnnkment. Where embankments are constructed on very sloping ground, or where old embankments are to be widened, there always is a tendency for the new material to slip along the plane of separation. In such cases the old surface should be roughened before the new material is deposited. Where the old surface Is earth, It usually can be roughened sufficiently by plowing a series of rather deep furrows about two feet apart. Old rock surfaces ordinarily are fairly rough to begin with, but to prevent slipping It may be necessary in ^some cases to blast steps.into CABBAGE IS EASY TO RAISE Plant Not Particular About Soil and Often Thrives en Soli Not Adapted to Other Crops. Cabbage is not very particular about the soil in which it will grow. It can often be grown on land not adapted to other crops. Any well-drain «d soil, holding plenty of plant food In an available condition, should grow an excellent crop. Land with a loose, gravelly subsoil mast be avoided. r •- Alfalfa Characteristic. One especially important characteristic of alfalfa is its long taproot system, which often extends several feet nto t h e soil. This enables the plant to reach motstnre and plant food In the soil which ,cunno| be secured bj he more shallow-rooted crops, WtanlBf Little Pig* Do not let the pigs wean themselve „ Cake t h e tow away from the pigs hen they a r e about ten or twelve /eeka old and five* her next Utter a •air stmrt la life. such surfaces before depositing embaakmeut material. No matter how the grading of an eurth road may be accomplished It usually 1» economical to bring the road surface to its haul shape by means of a grading machine. In making excavations it is not generally considered practicable to form the crown and side ditches with scrapers or hand tools alone, and the cross section is, therefore, frequently left approximately flat The grading machine is then used, in the manner already described, to produce the required cross section. After the road has been finished with the grading machine, it should be given frequent attention until the embankments have finished settling and the surface has become thoroughly compacted by the action of traffic. Usually a period of several months should elapse after a road is graded before It Is considered complete, and such settlements and irregularities as develop during this period should be corrected by the use of either a grading machine or a road drag. Construction Costs. Aside from drainage structures, the principal Item of cost attached to the construction of an earth road is for the grading. The cost of grading varies greatly, according to the condition of the weather, the nature of the material to be excavated, the efficiency of labor, teams and machinery, etc., and seldom can be estimated in advance with any great degree of accuracy. On this account average costs based on past experience may be very misleading when applied to a particular project. The first step in estimating the cost of grading a given road Is to ascertain the quantities of work to be done. After the quantities have been determined the cost may be estimated in either of two ways. First, the organization for carrying on the work may be planned In detail and the estimate arrived at by considering the cost of maintaining such an organization, together with the rate at which it may reasonably be expected to accomplish the work. Second, the cost per cubic yard for excavation and the cost per mile for shaping the roadway may be estimated at flat rates. The first method !s the most accurate, though the latter is the one employed most frequently. 3> DETROIT AUTO MAN SUFFERS 20 YEARS Tried Ail Kinds of Medicines and Treatments Without Getting Results. FINDS RELIEF AT LAST Making Full Time at Work Since Tanlac Overcame Troubles, He Saye— Has Gained Twelve Pounds. ORCHARD GRASS FOR CATTLE Plant Is Vigorous, Easy to Get Started and Makes Good Pasture or Fair Amount of Hay. Orchard grass grows from three to five feet high. It is vigorous, easy to get started, and makes good pasture or a fair amount of leafy hay. Most of the weight of the hay is from the leaves near the ground. If cut early there is usually a fine aftermath for pasture. Orchard grass is richer than timothy, but not as rich as bluegrass, tnough it offsets this somewhat by higher yields. It outlives timothy. Animals do not like it as well for pasture as they do bluegrass or brome grass. For this reason it should not be sown with either, or the stock will graze tlu? other grass too closely and neglect the orchard grass. "I have actually gained twelve pounds on three bottles of Tanlac and I now consider myself a well man for the first time in twenty years," said A. G. Strayer of 430 Klrby street west, Detroit, Mich., an e n e r t wood worker In the Fisher Autoirfobile Plant, a few days ago. "I was a sufferer from stomach trouble and rheumatism all these years," he explained, "and had to be as careful about my diet as If I were feeding a baby. My head ached like It would burst and gas from undigested food swelled me up so I was in misery and could hardly button my clothes on me. My limbs would swell from rheumatism and would hurt so I felt like I couldn't stand it another minute. I tried all kinds of medicines and consulted specialists In different states, but nothing did me any good until I tried Tanlac. "A friend Ijn York, Pa., told me about It and I got a bottle and felt better almost from the first dose. I can now eat anything I want and it gives me no trouble. I sleep .so sound I had to buy an alarm clock to wake me up In the morning. The rheumatism don't bother me now and I am making full time working every day at my trade. My wife Is taking Tanlac, too, and she is as much of a Tanlac booster as I am. I think everybody here ought to know what a wonderful medicine It Is." There is a Tanlac dealer in your town.—Adv. HOLD ON TO OPEN TACTICS American Soldiers Not to Be Trained in Trench Fighting to Exclusion of Other Strategy. AVOID FEED WHILE MILKING Operation Can Be Performed More Comfortably if Cows Are Not Trying to Devour Food. Cows will stand more quietly and the milking can be done more comfortably if the cows are not trying to eat while they are being milked. Feeding at milking time may also add dust and other Impurities to the milk. Favorite Early Carrot. Nantes carrot is a favorite early variety In some sections. Early Rubicon is also a favorite. Plant in succession. It seems probable now that we shall not be able to go Into the trench fighting at the training camps quite as thoroughly as the Canadians and the English have done, Herbert Reed writes in the New York Independent. Of course the trench charging, bayonet and bombing, through wire entanglements and fascines will be taught, but unless there is a sudden change in plans I doubt if the complicated labyrinths used over the northern border will be duplicated. There seems to ho a growing feeling that since we are building up from the bottom we must devote more time than the new levies of our allies to the strategy and tactics of open warfare. It Is of course, understood that many of us —how many no one knows—are going to France, but the j>owers that be have not been unmindful of the work of Von Hlndenburg early in the war on the eastern front, and they do not want to be caught flat-footed should the opportunity for swift open field operations on a large scnle ever offer. It Is In such operations that the officers of the line, the battalion commanders especially, and the second lieutenants as a mntter of course, need aa larger vision than It to be gained through the Intensive study of trench warfare alone. Least Common of Vegetables. Kohlrabi Is one of the least common of garden vegetables, TO CONSERVE SOIL MOISTURE Ground Which Is Kept Loose on Top Will Evaporate Less Water Than Soil That Is Packed. It la a well-known fact that ground which Is kept loose on top will evaporate much less water than a soil which Is packed on top. The moisture which escapes Into the air is absolutely lost so far as the plants growing In that particular field are concerned, and if anything can be done to bold this moisture In the ground so that It may reach the roots of the growing crop, It Is of coarse the thing to strive for, and will prove a benefit to the plant growing In the field.

DAIRY COW AND HER PRODUCT Every Animal in Herd Should Be Tested Annually for Tuberculosis —Use Concrete Floors. It is a pood rule to have every cow fn a herd tested at least once a .year for tuberculosis. To insure steady motion, a separator must be fastened to a solid foundation. A concrete floor gives this better than anything else. Sometimes lack of exercise -causes barrenness in dairy cattle. It is never well to allow the dairy cow to take on much fat. Always give her plenty of exercise. The average cow in full milk flow will consume from 30 to "40 pounds oi silage to advantage. Add to this some 10 pounds of dry fodder, and the roughage feed is complete. Only concrete floors should be permitted in a dairy barn.

As fast as the numbers were pulled In Washington they were sent-by wire over the country and bss'letined on store fronts, in hotels and elsewhere In public view. Apparently many cities nbandoned work for the fascinating nensation of following the progress of the one lottery which has legal sanction. Except for being%immeasurably .more important and serious, it wag like keeping track of a world's series game on a bulletin board. Most persons, particularly those whose low,numbers hi the drawing'made the>call for their examination for the draft a certainty, behaved soberly. Here and there was a young patriot «o anxious to get to France for a whack at the foe that be laughed ex* ultantly and even bragged about his ••being among the earliest There is even one record in- * man who wanted so to be and was so sure he would be ttiat he had made a bet that bis nutnber would be fche first one out of the globe at Washington. With the odds 10,499 to 1 against him he won. His number was 2f>8. He threw up his hat and weut home to break the good news to his father. This man, who may fairly be called as happy as any in New York today, has not a Yankee name. He is Nicolo Scotelario, a medical student, twenty-two years old. The lottery was held in the public hearing room of the senate office building, with war department officials in charge of the actual drawing and with members of the senate and house military affairs con.mittees as witnesses. Through the day there was a small crowd of spectators, but altogether probably loss ?han a thousand persons saw any part of the process. To Call 1,374,000 At Once. As a result of the drawing every registered man is given a definite place in the liability for service list. Already CST.OiK) have been ordered to the colors to fill to war strength, the regular army and national guard and to constitute the first increment «f the national at-my. To secure the total, 1,374,000 men will be called for examinotion within a few weeks, officiate estimating that two registrants must j officiii"mo"ve~to be "made; according to be called for every soldier accepted. t h e r e g u U t i o u a , i 8 passing theui on to a telegraph operator, mechanically fc>ok-down~a number as it was announced1. "That's me," he said as be passed the number across the table, and hi« pencil was busy again on his pad of paper in a fraction t»f a second. The revised system of drawing and the fact that the first numbers drawn appeared to run to the highest numbers left|the first call in doubt up until a late hour. The higher numbers drew only a few men into the service, while the lower numbers.brought in at least 4,500. By 8 o'clock, however, there was no longer doubt that the number then being drawn would^mot be Included in the first levy, and those keeping track ~ot the tally sheets knew about where the young men in whom they were Interested stood in the draft. Bo. 1 Causes Interest. There was a great deal of interest over No. 1 and when it would come out of the Jar in the gamble for military service for flag and country. It was the fonr thousand two hundred and sixty-ninth number drawn, and it is probable that none of the No. l's—a card held in every one of the 4,687 districts of the country—will be called in the first draft Some Interesting Incidents. "Ah, weel, it's the furst thot cooms furst and It's the last thot cooms last," declared Walter J. Hitchins, a canny Scotsman, twenty-nine, of Brooklyn, when he learned his number was selected first Hitchlns is the first of the draft in BceaUyn. "I'm wilting to do me bit" Hitchlns went on t o say, but he explained he might have trouble because of his wife and three-year-old child whom, he declared, he will first hare to look after. "Naw, I won't claim exemption because of my being here from England but foor years, but III ha' to do it for me wife and baby's sakes." There is no prouder mother than the mother of Joseph E. Raab of Brooklyn, whose name was first also. She said : "My boy Joseph is just twenty-one years old, but he is ready to go4 I've kept him home as long as I could because his older brother, John, is alseady j in the guard, a member of the Seventh i regiment "If you believe me, he is the real apple of my eye." One Blank Discovered. When the ten thousand and fourth dra't capsule was drawn it was found to be blank, the first to be found thus iar in the drawing. The fact was noted on tally sheets before a new 10,- 004 was drawn. Fixing Quotas Next Step. For the benefit of those who now have their numbers and know al*nit the order in which they are likely to be called for examination under the selective draft law it may be stated that the next The Livingston County exemption board has issued a call for the first alottment of 50 to appear before the board on Saturday of this week to take the physical examination. 75 to appear on Monday next 75 on Tuesday and 50 on Wednesday.

Petrograd—Russia has bottled up in her vast dominions all the elements of discord that her provisional government now has unlimited power to suppress. A campaign of rigid extermination is to follow the closing of all frontiers, as officially announced by government decree. Until August 15, no one will be permitted entrance or departure from Russia. Meanwhile Russia's democracy hopes to comb out all German spies, all malcontents, all traitors whose machinations caused the recent riots in Petrograd and the break down of the army around Tarnopol. Slav Army Retreating. Having retreated a distance of approximately 100 miles from where Kerensky, the iron man of Russia, carried them in his personally conducted drive early in July, the Russian army on the center of the line in East Galicia is again on Russian soil on both sides of Husiatyn and is still being followed by the armies of the Teutonic allies. Likewise the armies to the north and south continue to fall back before the enemy, at a few points only standing to offer a semblance of reslstence. and then only for short periods of time. Wherever those of the faithful troops attempt to give battle, they are harassed by unmercifully stronger forces of the Teutons and compelled to give ground, receiving no assistance from the irrecalcitrant former brothers-in-arms. MINERS IN U. P. STRIKE /. W. W. Agitators Succeed in Forcing Tlecips—Troops to Quell Riots. Bessemer, Mich.—A general strike of all miners of the Gogebic range was called for 7 o'clock Monday morning. This action was taken Sunday after noon at a mass meeting of 300 miners here. The vote in favor of walking out was 189 to 30. Some miners present did not take part in the voting. The small hall was overcrowded long before the hour of meeting. Immediately upon being called to order, William Strang, organizer of the I. W. W. from the Stambough Iron River mining district, declared that to strike now would not be unpatriotic and that in the event that the government would take over the mines of the region, men would be paid $10 a day, btter conditions and working hours would be produced at 18 per cent lower rates than at the present time. The strikers declared that force would be used to prevent the mines from being operated by strike breakers. To assist in quelling disorders the mounted constabulary of the state arrived here to take charge of the situation. These men were sent to the dis- -trict by the action of Governor A. B. Sleeper, who acquainted himself with the conditions here in a personal visit last week. Mine superintendents, the police and the sheriff have sworn in a large number of deputies. Mine owners declared they could not meet the demands of the men, which Include wages of $6 for six hours work a day for underground workmen and 14 for eight hours w o r t on the surface. MARRIED MEN NOT EXEMPT Detroit Benedicts Without Children Face Army Service. Detroit—Married men, without children, whose wives are capable of earning their own living cannot expect exemption from local boards. This was the practically unanimous declaration of chairmen, of local exemption boards.

The statement follows: "We continued our advance as far as eight miles from our old front, occupying all our objectives and taking possession of 10 villages. We capturned 450 prisoners, many guna and much war material. The enemy is retiring in disorder." A new Rumanian cabinet, to take the place of that formed December 30, 1916, is announced, J. J. J.

Berlin—Troops under command of Archduke Joseph have retreated on the Rumanian front The statement says the Teutons left to the usso-Rumanians the territory in the Suchitsa valley as far at the Upper Course of the Putna river. Austro-German forces are pursuing Russians who are retreating through the wooded Carpathians in the direction of the River Pruth. Detroit—Fearing lie would be drafted, John Mayshack, German chemist, said t o be of a German family of high caste, killed himself Saturday morning by exploding a tank of compressed oxygen while at work at the plant of the National Oxygen & Machine company, Oakland avenue, near East Grand boulevard. Mayshack was 29 years old. He was born in Germany and had been in this country three years. He had taken out his first citiienship papers, but remained loyal to the Fatherland in word and deed. He tried to enlist in the German araay, but could not get passports. Among First Called. When the draft came, he noted his name among the first chosen to serve for America. He exclaimed Friday night to fellow workmen and to his landlord, Ernest Schlosser, "I will die before I will be drafted!" At 11:25 o'clock Saturday morning he carried out the threat. Dropping a cylinder of oxygen he was blown to bits. Only Mayshack and a plumber, Lawrence Schmidt, were in the shop at the time. Schmidt was so deafened by the blast that he sought a physician immediately. He was not seriously hurt. The plant of the National Oxygen £ Machine company suffered severely.

Herr Erzberger asserts that Mr. Michaelis is a peace chancellor. Vienna Ready for Peace. Vienna, via Copenhagen—Reiterating that Auatrla-Hungary was ready to accept an honorable peace, but that the dual monarchy in conjunction with its allies would fight to the last extremity if the Entente powers declined to enter negotiations on the basis of a peace by understanding, as recently outlined by the German imperial chancellor and the relchstag, Count" Ottokar Czernin von Chudenitz, the Aus tria-Hungarian foreign minister, in an interview discussed at length peace possibilities. The Austrian statesman took occa sion to reply to the speeach made by David Lloyd-George in London, July 21, when the British premier characterized the address delivered in the relchstag by Dr. Michaelis, the German chancllor, as a sham. The count said Mr. Lloyd-George was mistaken when he represented the relchstag peace resolution to be "a piece of bluff." Asks Entente's Intentions. "The chancellor and the reichBtag," the foreign minister said, "declared that Germany was conducting a defensive war and that the German people only aBked for an honorable peace by means of an understanding and an agreement offering the basis for a lasting reconciliation of the nations. The chancellor and the relchstag solemnly replied that the German people desired no forced conquest and abhorred economic isolation and incitement to enmity between nations after the war. "I must reply to Premier Lloyd- George with the question: What are we finally to expect from the Entente?" Lansing 8ays Fight. Madison Barracks, N. T.-In a speech here before 1,700 members of the officers' reserve corps, Secretary of State Robert Lansing, emphasising the peril of German imperialism to the United States and the world, declared his belief that the German people would not cast off the yoke of autocracy "until the physical might of the united democracies of the world had destroyed forever the evil ambitions of the military rulers of Germany." That, he added, is the onlly way to restore the peace of the world. "Were every people on earth able to express their will, there would be no wars of aggression," he said, "and, if there were no wars of aggression, there would be no wars, and lasting peace would come to this earth. The only way that a people can express their will is through democratic institution. Therefore, ^vhen the world is made safe for democracy, when that great principle prevails, universal peace will be an accomplished fact. Mr. Lansing sought to drive home to the student officers the righteousness of the cause for which they had volunteered to go to France and fight, asserting that America would win "because our cause is the cause of Justice and ot right and of humanity."

While it Is u little early to predict what the Western Canada grain crop will produce, there Is every indication at the present writing that the t2l7 crop will give an excellent return. Reports received from &11 portions of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and AJberta speak of good growing weather, a fairly advanced stage of all grains, with prospects as good as in the past two years. Should conditions continue as at present, It is safe to conclude that Western Canadian farmers, already free of debt, as a result of the splendid crops and prevailing high prices, expect from this seaeon's returns to be in a position that will place them away beyond any fear of the future. The acreage of Western Canada will be about the same as last year. Seeding was somewhat later than last year, but germination was quicker. The only possible drawback now would seem to be a scarcity of harvest hands, but it Is felt by the authorities that the situation will be pretty well cared for by that tAue. Land values are increasing, but there Is room for a much greater increase than in the past, owing to the returns that farmed land will give when compared with its cost. In some districts land that could have been bought five years ago for $15 an acre Is changing hands' at $60 an acre, the seller satisfled that he is giving the purchaser good value for his money. And why not, when It is known that in a great many cases during the past two years crops have been grown on this land that have produced a profit of forty and fifty dollars per acre, over and above cost of production. These cases, while not general, were not exceptional. In ndditlon to the. lands that are offered for sale by railway companies, land companies and private Individuals, the homesteadlng areas offer great inducements for those who are willing to do a little pioneering for a year oKtwo. By that time settlements would come into existence, and this means a condition similar to that enloyed by many of the older settlements today—schools, churches, railways, land is of high-class quality, >ng and vigorous, easily worked, and capable of producing the very best of crops. The demand for all grains for some years will be great, and it will require all the resources of man, beast and soil to meet it. That the prices will be good goes without saying, but at the present time there is something -more appealing than the lucrative prices that prevail. That is, the desire to assist in winning the world war. The man at the plow Is doing his "bit," and the spirit of patriotism that prevails will lead him Into a broader sphere of action. No matter where he may be he will look about him that he may find land to further develop the country's resources. It is possible that his own Btate may furnish the land, in which case he will be quick to take advantage of the offer. If land in his own state is not available, Canada (now our ally) will be glad to furnish It in unlimited quantity, as she is vitally interested in largely increasing the supply of foodstuff wUch is now as urgently needed and is as valuable as ammunition to the allied countries. The appeal made by Mr. Hoover, United States controller of foods, and also by Hon. W. J. Hanna, Canadian controller, emphasizes the need of the allies, urges economy and the prevention of the waste in food, and- bespeaks whole-hearted public co-operation. Speaking of Great Britain, France, Italy, Belgium and their European lilies, they say: T o r Dearly three years their man power has been engaged in the direct work of war. and in some cases large areas of their most productive lands hare been overrun by the enemy. Their food shortage and the food to supply the armies of Canada aod the United States must be wholly provided from this side of the Atlantic. The supply must also be sufficient to cover losses at sea. Australia, New Zealand, the Argentine Republic and other countries are not now available to relieve the situation because of their remoteness and the shortage of tonnage. * "The crop of ttoreable foods grown in Canada and the United States suitable for ahlpsneat overseas threatens to be entirely inadequate to meet the demand unless the whole people determine by every means in their power to make up the shortage. Every indi- •tdnal Is under • direct oMigatkxi to assist ta rattening the allied forces- There must he national seif-deniaJ ssat satftosai co-operation to pcovUs tha 0MEBEA1 3aivd5Krvib are aivd Oiltivatioiv Pergolas Add to the Beauty of the Home Grounds. PERGOLAS PRETTY AND CHEAP It doesn't take much time or need not cost any money to have a pretty pergola In your garden. Of course if one has the time and the money the scheme may be widened to any desired extent and the structure may be as costly and as elaborate as the heart wishes. But a simple bit of work, planned with the eye of an artist, is often more fetching than a studied and costly creation. Rustic pergolas may be made of peeled oak or pine, or any other durable branches that are at hand, excepting birch. Birch will not last beyond one season. There is no better or prettier way of training vines than by making the pergola the base and there will be many hours of real pleasure ifl the creation once it Is done. DESTROYING MORNING GLORIES By L. M. BENNINQTON. The field morning-glory resembles the cultivated kind and unlike the bind weed, grows only from seed. We find four varieties of morning-glories on our lowland farms, so the only remedy Is to prevent the seeding. The field bindweed Is a morningglory with small flowers and vinelike stems that entwine closely about anything they reach. The numerous roots send out plants from every eye. These roots being spread by the plow or cultivator form new plants, until in a short time the cornfield is completely covered. They start so early In the spring that before the corn is large enough to cultivate, the rows are so hidden that they must be cleaned out with hoe before cultivation is begun. Another variety called hedge bindweed, pea-v4ne, morning-glory has large funnel-shaped flowers and a more slender vine than the other varieties. In the central states we find still another of the prolific pests. This is the wild sweet potato or man-of-the-earth vine. Its roots resemble in shape the cultivated sweet potato, but are much larger and penetrate far below the plowing depths. Cutting the tops does little good and cutting the roots only multiplies the number of vines as all pteces of roots grow the same as the edible sweet potato. 'The plow only serves as a means of spreading and transplanting the pieces of roots, which grow new plants. Covering with salt or injecting sulphuric acid into the roots are as effective as any- remedy for the weed, which fortunately Is not so common as the other varieties of morning-glory. Hogs are very fond of the roots and are a great help in cleaning up badly infested ground. Plowing during July and August prevents the plants from growing again in the same season and will make them much less plentiful the next year. Lambs also like the vines wonderfully well and few will be left In the fall if they are turned on before the bindweeds go to seed. Our experience with bindweeds is that spring plowing and persistent use of the cultivator only serve to spread the roots over greater areas. The bindweed when once established In a field is there to stay or put up a strenuous fight and no halfway methods will accomplish anything In the way of getting rid of this pest. When plowing or cultivating through small spots of morning-glory, it pays to clean the plow or cultivator of all roots to prevent the spreading of the growth of new plants. The use of the disk harrow and disk cultivators will help to prevent the spread of this pest. Prevention and the use of every known means of destruction must be used If we would rid our farms of this pest. OLD-FASHIpNED FLOWERS There should be a corner In the home garden for the old-fashioned flowers so loved by our grandmothers and mothers. The fragrant pink and sweet william, the sun-warmed marigold, the scented mignonette, the stately wall flower and the sweet alyssum that so often encircles all the others with Its snowy border. How they each and every one flash into our hearts memories of other days and of lovely faces now gone, and how they Inspire us to a higher and better life! ^mprranGf 4fr (Conducted by t h e National Woman's Christian Temperance Union.) AFFECTS THE BRAIN. (From bulletin issued by New York City Health Department.) Civilized man equals brute animal plus high brain development. Alcohol biota out the "high brain development" and leaves behind the brute animal. Now, of course, we don't mean to say thijt when a person takes a drink of anything containing alcohol he is reduced at once to a brute animal; but very few will dispute that a drunken person is not much better than a brute animal. And the reason he has been reduced to such a state by the alcohol, is because before he can take enough of it to kill his body, he bus had enough to paralyze his brain, espe»- cially the highest parts of his brain. It has paralyzed his power to think, it has paralyzed his power to Judge, it has paralyzed his power to control his actions. The amount of alcohol which makes a person drunken, varies with different people. Some can stand very little, others a great deal. However, even a very little, though it does not show itself In drunkenness, has a damaging effect on the brain. This is what we want to point out particularly. Too many people think that If they drink alcohol In moderation, such, for example, as three or four glasses of beer a day, or one or two drinks of whisky a day, they are not doing themselves any harm at all. Very many even think that they ma,y safely drink as long as they stop before getting drunk. These are very dangerous {. and mistaken ideas to have. Drinking, ] even in moderation, has dangers for the brain and nerves, and steady drinking is very bad. DF INTERE8T TO REALTY MEN. After a visit to Colorado, Mr. Thomas S. Ingersoll, secretary of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, declared that from every source of Information tapped he learned that there was greater prosperity in the state than ever before. "This applies particularly to real estate," he said. "One big company In Denver, which was nearlng bankruptcy Just previous to the transformation because purchasers were not paying on lot contracts, was practically pulled out of the rut by the flood of payments •received In the first thirty days. The Arm Is now subdividing more property. I Many of the Ilve-wlre real-estate dealers have rented the quarters of former saloons In the downtown section and have transformed them Into offices, allowing the barroom fixtures to remain. They use the former *prlvate conversation* booths as closing office* for their salesmen." Mr. Automobile Owner: Are you insured against fire, theft and liability?

This liquor is officially recorded as "withdrawn for consumption." Consequently the Internal revenue reports show this year what the uninitiated believe to be "an alarming Increase In drinking." The government reports do not explain that "consumption" in this case is technical, not actual; that the liquor goes into private warehouses to await the retail demand— a demand which is constantly decreasing. v f 1 Reduces Bursal Enlargements, I I Thickened, Swollen Tissue*, 4 ) Curbs, Filled Tendons, Sore~ W neee from Bruises or Strain*; g \ .topi Spavin Lameness, allays pain. m \ Does not bhster, remove the hair or • * - # lay up the hone 12 00 a bottU at drurgitti or delivered.

Mean Trick. The De Jones' back lawn was a lawn in name only. It was really an arid desert—bald, so to speak, and In dry weather It wan always dusty as a motor track. To the astonishment of Mrs. De Smythe, who lived next door, she one day saw her devoted husband turning the garden hose upon the De Jones' "lawn." "Well, I never!" she exclaimed. "I'm sure I wouldn't trouble to lay dust In De Jones' back yard, John, especially as they are such hateful lot of gossips. Small thanks you'll get for your trouble, anyway." "That's all right, my dear. Their darling little Fldo was washed snow white this morning. Now he's out there rolling about like a barrel, and rubbing the mud well into his fleecy coat.

In the mean time, may I beg the hospitality of your ranch for myself and my men'.'" Alalre ucipilesced mechanically. Lon gorio saluted her fingers In his customary manner, and then, with a look eloquent of things unsaid, he went out to see to the comfort of his command. Alaire sank into the nearest chair, her nerves quivering, her mind In a turmoil. This Mexican was detestable, and he was far from being the mere maker of audaciously gallant speeches, the poetically fervent wooer of every pretty woman, she had blindly supposed him. His was no sham ardor; the man was hotly, horribly In earnest. There had been a glint of madness In his eyes. And he actually seemed to think that she shared his Infatuation. It was intolerable. Yet Longorio, she was sure, had an abundance of discretion ; he would not dare to offer netviolence. He had pride, too; and In his way he was something of a gen tleman. So far, she had avoided giving him offense. But If once she made plain to him bow utterly loathsome to her was his pursuit, she was sure thai he would cease to annoy her. Alalre •was self-confident, strong-willed; she took courage. 1 Her thought* turned from her fears to the amazing reality of her widowhood. Even yet she could not wholly fcredlt the fact that Ed's wasted life bad come to an end and that Bhe was free to make the moat of her own. [Alaire remembered her husband now hwith more tenderness, more charity. than she would have believed possible. land it seemed to her pitiful that one so blessed with opportunity should have iworked such havoc with himself and •with those near to him. I Doubtless it was all a part of some providential scheme, too blind for her to solve. Perhaps, indeed, his own trials had been designed to the end that her greater, truer love, when it did come, would find her ripe, responsive^ ready. As for this Mexican genferal, she would put him in his place. i Alaire was still walking the floor bf her chamber when Dolores entered, at dusk, to say that supper was ready and that General Longorlo was waiting. "Ask him to excuse me," she told her servant But Longorlo himself spoke from the next room, saving: "Senora, I beg of yon to honor me. I have much of importance to say, and time presses. Control your grief and give me the pleasore of your company." i After an instant's consideration. ialalre yielded. It was best to have the matter over with, once for a l l CHAPTER XXI. The Doors of Paradise. t Alaire began the mockery of playing hostess with extreme distaste, and as the meal progressed she experienced a growing uneasiness. Longorio's bearing had changed since his arrival He was still extravagantly courteous, beautifully attentive; ha maintained a flow of conversation that relieved her of any effort, and yet he displayed a repressed excitement that was disturbing. In his eyes there was 4 gloating look of possession hard to endure. Despite her icy formality, he appeared to be holding himself within the bounds of propriety only by an effort of the will, and she was not surprised pfcen, at the conclusion of the meal, m cast restraint aside. ^ She did sot let him go far with his wookms before warning him: "I won t lists* to you.

Alexander the Great, Caesar, Napoleon, Portirlo Diaz—they were strong, purposeful ruen; they lived as 1 live. Senora, you dally with love." Alalre's face was white with anger us she replied: "You cause me to forget that you are my guest. Are you the man I considered you or the man you are reported to be?" "Eh?" "Are you the gentleman, the friend, you pretended to be, or—the vandal whom no woman can trust? You treat me as if you were my jailer. What do you mean? What kind of man are you to take advantage of my bereavement?" After a moment's consideration, Longorlo began haltingly: "I don't know what kind of a man I am, for you have changed me so. There was a time— I—I have done things— I have scorned all restraint, all laws except those of my desires, and so, perhaps, I am a vandal. Make sure of this, however— I shall not injure you. Mexico Is no more sacred to me than you, my heart's treasure. You accuse me of Indelicacy because I lack the strength to smother my admiration. I adore you; my being dissolves, my veins are afire with longing for you; I am mad with the knowledge that you are mine. Mad? Caramba ! I am Insane; my mind totters; I grope my way like a man blinded by a dazzling light; I suffer agonies. But see 1 I refuse to touch you. I am a giant in my restraint. The strength of heroes is mine, and I strangle my impulses as they are born, although the effort kills me. Senora, I await the moment of your voluntary surrender. I wait for you." He extended his arms, and Alaire saw that his olive features were distorted with emotion; that his hands, his whole thin, high-strung body were shaking uncontrollably. She could summon no coherent words. "You believed I was a hawk and would seize you, eh?" he queried. "Is that why you continue to shrink? WeH, let me tell you something, if ray tongue will frame the thoughts in my mind. My passion Is so deep and so sacred that I would not be content with less than all of you. I must have you all, and so I wait, trembling. I say this so badly that I doubt if you understand. Listen, then: to possess you by force would be—well, as If I sacked a cathedral of its golden images and expected to gain heaven by clutching the cross In my arms. Senora, In you I see the priceless .iewel of my love, which I shall wear to dazzle the world, and without which I shall destroy myself. Now let me tell you what I can offer you, what setting 1 can build for this treasure. Marriage with Luis Longorlo—" • Alaire could not control a s t a r t As if quickened by his intensity, the man read her thought "You did not imagine that I offered you anything less?** "What was I to think?

No, nol Other women have feared me, and I have laughed in their hair as they tore s t my arms, but you—you will be my wife, and all Mexico shell bow at your feet" He checked her denial with a gesture. "Wait until I tell you the vision I have seen daring these days of despair. I see Mexico made whole by my hands; a laud of peace sad plenty; a people with one name upon their lips—the name of Longorlo the Deliverer; and you as the first lady of them slL You know me for t B a a of tremendous ability in every line.

I will load you with gold and Jewels, and I will make you the richest woman in the world. Seuora, i offer you dominion. I offer you the president's palace and Chapultepec. And with all that, 1 offer you such passionate love as uo woman of history ever possessed." He paused, spent by the force of his j own Intensity; it was plain that he expected an immediate surrender. Alaire's lips parted in the faintest of mocking smiles. "You have great confidence in yourself," she said. "YTes. I know myself as no one knows me." "Why do you think I care for you?" Longorio's eyes opened. His expression plainly showed that he could not imagine any woman In her senses failing to adore him. "Don't you take much for granted?" Alaire Insisted. The Mexican shook his head. Then his face lightened. "Ah! Now I see. Your modesty forbids you to acknowledge your love—Is that It? Well, I know that you admire me, for I can see It. All women admire me, and they all end by loving me." His chest arched imperceptibly; with a slender finger he delicately smoothed his black eyebrows. Alalre felt a wild Impulse to laugh, but was glad she had subdued it when he continued. "I am impetuous, but Impetuosity has made me what I am. I act, and then mold fate to suit ray own ends. Opportunity has delivered to me my heart's desire, and 1 will not be cheated out of It. Among the men I brought with me to La Ferla Is a priest. He Is dirty, for 1 caught him as he was fleeing toward the border; but he is a priest, and he will marry us tonight." Alaire managed to gasp, "Surely you are not in earnest." "Indeed I nm I That Is why I Insisted that you dine with me this evening. I cannot waste more time here, for necessity calls me away. You shall go as my wife." "Do you think I would remarry on the very day I find myself a widow?" ' T h e world will never know." "Yon dare to Kay that!" Her tone was one of disgust, of flnanty. "I wonder how I have listened to so much. It is horrible." "You are still a little hysterical, and you exaggerate. If I had more time, I could afford to wait." He ogled her with his luminous gaze. "I would let you play with me to your heart's content and exercise your power until you tired and were ready to surrender." Alalre raised her head proudly, her nostrils dilated, her eyes ablaze with hostility. "This is very humiliating, but you force me to tell you that I hate you." Longorto was Incredulous rather than offended. He drew himself up to his full height and smiled, saying: "That is Impossible." Then, ignoring her Impatience: "Come! You cannot deceive rue. The priest is waiting." When Alaire spoke n e x t It was with an expression and with a tone of such loathing that his yellow face paled. "Your conceit is insufferable," she breathed. After a brief struggle with himself, the Mexican cried, hoarsely: "I will not be refused* You wish me to tame you. eh? Good! You have found your master. Make your choice, then. Which shall it be, surrender or—compulsion?" "So! You have been lying, as 1 thought Compulsion! Now the real Longorlo speaks.** He flung up his hands as if to ward off her fury- "No 1 Have I not made myself clear?

She mast stand before the people as a perfect woman; she mast lead prestige to bis name.

"Then I shall never leave I f she told him. For the drst time Longorlo spoke roughly: "I lose patience. In God's name have I not waited long enough"? My strength is gone." Impulsively he half encircled her with his thin arms, but she seemed armored with ice, and he dropped them. She could hear hltn grind his teeth. "I dare not lay hands upon you,"''he chattered.

Referring to the late King Edward the author says : "Lady Burton once told me an amusing incident which occurred when the late King Edward stayed at Glenquoieh. " 'I hope, sir, that you have found everything to your liking?' she said to the royal visitor. " 'Yes/ answered the king; 'but, If I may make a suggestion, one little thing would add greatly to the comfort of your guests.' " 'Oh, sir, what can that bef "'Well, Lady Burton,' said his majesty, 'the one thing needful ta a hook on the bathroom door.' " Promise Easily Kept "Your honor, let me off this time and I'll never appear before you again," pleaded the culprit. "Am I to take this as a promise to reform?" "Yes, your honor. And I might add that I am on my way to Australia. If I should happen to backslide, some other court would attend to my case." Patience is frequently lauded, but tenacity is what gets there.

"I have gained fifteen pounds since taking Tanlac and I honestly believe the medicine saved my life," said Mrs. Matilda Simich, whose husband Is a trimmer for the Studebaker Motor company, residing at 21 Fremont place, Detroit, Mich. "I suffered with rheumatism and stomach trouble four years," continued Mrs. Simich, "and for the past sixteen months, I spent most of the time In bed with my arms and limbs so swollen I couldn't move to put the cover over myself.

TIMES CHANGED IN KOREA ment Which Twenty Years Ago Wa# Afraid of New Methods Now Welcomes American Ideas, Twenty years ago the oki Korean government was so afraid of new ideas that a Korean student in the Methodist Episcopal School for Boys in Seoul was arrested and put into prison. What was the heinous charge? Simply that he had formed a literary society that discussed matters of general interest! But times have changed and Korea now appreciates American ideas, says the World Outlook. The imprisoned boy, named Oynn, came.to America to study and later became the efficient principal of his old boys' school In Seoul. And how the boys discuss current events nowadays! Mr. Cynn has since then distinguished himself in a general conference by a speech notable for fts thought and Its English.

Roads constructed by grading the natural soil to the required shape, grade and alignment, without special surfacing of any kind, usually are designated us earth, or dirt, roads. The efficiency of such roads depends (1) on the quality of the soil composing the roadbed, (2) on proper construction, and (3) ou adequate maintenance. Soils. The principal qualities of soils from the standpoint of road construction depend upon texture and structure, permeability and capillary power. Soils usually are classified as clay, sand, loam, gravel, marl or gumbo, according to the material predominating in their composition. Soils composed of two different materials mixed In such proportions that the character of the mixture is decidedly intermediate may be designated conveniently by naming both components, a« sand-clay, sandgumbo, gravelly clay, etc. Clay. Clay is a soil of very fine texture which results from the complete decomposition of rocks or minerals. Pure clay is very retentive of moisture, and usually becomes plastic and unstable when wet, but when mixed with other materials, such as sand or gravel, Its stability may be Increased greatly. In general, a clay road, to be passable, must be kept dry, and since clay is very difficult to drain, it happens seldom that roads composed entirely of clay can be kept in good condition at all seasons of the year. No matter how well such a road may be graded and crowned, the surface absorbs water in wet seasons and subsequent traffic will produce mud. But when the road is shaped and drained properly it will dry out quickly when the weather becomes favorable and may soon be restored to its original shape. On the other hand, clay roads, when very dry, usually produce considerable dust under traffic, and for this reason may become very insanitary in extended dry seasons. The extent to which clay roads are subject to the objections mentioned above usually varies according to the so-called "slaking" qualities of the clay. Some varieties of clay, when compressed into a ball and placed in water, will continue in the original shape for a considerable time, even if thoroughly saturated and softened, while compressed balls from other varieties will slake or break down almost Immediately upon being placed In water. Clays of the first-mentioned variety are called "nonslaking clays," and of the latter, "slaking clays." It has been observed that slaking clays produce more mud in wet weather and more dust in dry weather than those of the nonslaking variety. This characteristic of clays Is further considered In the discussion of sand-clay roads appearing in another part of this bulletin, where methods for testing: clay are suggested. Most days, as they occur in nature, contain more or less sand or gravel, which, as pointed out above, usually has a stabilising effect by making the clay more easily drained and increasing its bearing power when wet Sand- Sand is composed of granular particles of mineral or stone which occur in nature and which will pass a onefourth- inch-mesh screen. The onefourth- inch-mesh screen is fixed arbi- HANDY HARROW FOR GARDENS Implement Devised to Keep Out Weeds Without Much Hard Work—Perfect Mulch la Made.

Not a Insight I was at a loan to aawkmawai be o a * da* I saw (Sat trarily as the dividing line between sand and gravel and is generally, though not universally, accepted us such. Nearly all sand eousltsts essentially of quartz grains thut arts very hard and durable. But there is no coherence between the different grains, and therefore soils composed principally of sand are unstable, except when confined i n some way. If properly confined and protected from undermining, sand foundations may, under favorable climatic conditions, prove entirely satisfactory for almost any type of road crust, but it is practically impossible, under any circumstances to make a satisfactory road surface of sand alone. Sand roads are at their best when they are kept moist, and for this reason they should be designed with a view to retaining moisture In the sand rather than to effective drainuge, as is the case with clay roads. Such roads sometimes are improved temporarily by mixing sawdust, straw, pine leaves or other similar material into the surface, but, in general, the sand-clay crust Is the must satisfactory improvement for roads of this character. Loam. Loam is a soil composed of clay and sand, mixed with a considerable percentage of finely divided vegetable matter or humus. The quality of loam from the standpoint of road building depends very largely upon tire proportions in which sand and clay are present and on the character of _these materials. Loam that contains about 60 per cent of moderately coarse sand and from 20 to 30 per cent of good cementing clay usually will make an excellent road surface for light traffic. Material of this kind is drained easily and is fairly stable, even when wet. Another advantage is that it will not become very dusty under traffic in dry weather and frequently will cement together Into a very hard, compact" surface. Roads surfaced with such material are commonly called "topsoil" roads, because the topsoil of cultivated fields possesses the desired characteristics more frequently than that to be obtained from any other source. Gravel. Gravel is made up of small rounded particles of stone, which occur in nature and are sufficiently large to he retained on a one-fourth-lnch-mesh screen. Gravelly soils are distributed widely in the United States, and vary widely in quality. In general, when a soil contains as much as 40 to 50 per cent of gravel and sufficient clay or other cementing material to bond the gravel particles together, it proves a very satisfactory material for construction of roads, because it is drained easily and is very stable when compacted. Mart. Marl is clay containing a relatively large percentage of carbonate of lime. It grades into calcareous clay and argillaceous limestone, and its value for road building is variable. In general this material has few advantages over the best varieties of ordinary clay for use in constructing a road, unless the percentage of Ume carbonate is sufficiently high to give It, when compacted, approximately the character of limestone. The best varieties of marl become very hard and compact when placed in a road surface, and In some localities this material is used extensively for road surfacing. Gumbo. Gumbo is essentially loam containing a high percentage each of clay and decayed vegetable matter and a very low percentage of sand. Gumbo has a strong tendency to absorb and hold water, and therefore Is hard to drain. It is harder to handle in a road surface than clay, because the vegetable matter is an added weakness, but if protected from surface water by a proper system of drainage, it may be used to construct a fair subgrade for supporting some type of impervious road crust. Gumbo has a relatively high capillary power, and for this reason its occurrence in a roadbed usually will necessitate the use of subdrainage, even under conditions favorable for surface drainage. down the rows. It was only a few boards nailed together, with spikes for teeth* says a writer in Farm Progress. Being less than two feet wide, it went nicely between the rows, and when weighted down made a perfect mulch and destroyer of all weeds. How much easier it would be to let the children poll a harrow like this up and down your garden rows once a week, than to spend a half day hoeing. After the soil is once put in firstrate condition, a wheel hoe or garden harrow will keep it free from weeds without much hard weeding.

Because more milk would be produced In the year and calves would be raised cheaper, farmers find it most profitable to have their cows freshen In the full months. The cow ^ives a large flow of milk at tile beginning of the period of lactation, tn the spring the milk-yield, which gradually falls off, is suddenly Increased when the cow is turned on fresh pasture. Calves born in the fall need mainly milk and eat little grain during the period of winter feeding. When spring comes they are ready to be turned on pasture. Spring calves consume milk and grain during the. cheap pasture seasoa and require The same highpriced feeds during the follmvTng winter, when they are older and thus eat more. The fall-born calf at the same j age needs only pasture. At the Ohio experiment station some calves born in the fall were raised for about $5 less than others born in the spring. Under average farm conditions this difference would be even greater, as no grain would be fed to fallrborn calves on pasture, while those at the station were given grain because of pasture shortage.

Great Draft Lottery Continues for 16 Hours Before Final Number Is Drawn. Washington, July 21.—America's great army of democracy has been drafted. At 9:49 o'clock on Frld.ay morning Secretary of War Baker, blindfolded, drew from a big glass bowl the first capsule and the number In it was announced as 258. Other distinguished officials in turn drew out numbers, and then the task was turned over to the regular tellers, who worked steadily at it until early Saturday morning, when the final capsule was drawn. The beginning of the draft was participated in and witnessed by a company of notables as large as could be accommodated- and was surrounded with all due solemnity. After Secretary Baker had drawn the first number, seven others were drawn by Senator Chamberlain of the senate military committee, Congressman Dent of the house military committee, Senator Warren and Representative Kuhn, ranking minority members of the senate and house military committees; Maj. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, acting chief of staff of the army; Maj. Gen. Enoch Crowder, provost marshal of the arn>y ; and Major General McCain, adjutant general of the army. More than a million men were represented by the first 1,000 numbers drawn, according to an official statement, and It Is likely that only the first 2,000 drawn will be called before the exemption boards for the first army. The numbers above a few thousand will not affect registrants except in a small number of the largest districts. Of the 4,557 registration districts throughout the country the largest has something over 10,200 numbers, while the smallest has only •bout 185, and the average Is about 8,000, As the drawing proceeded, 157 numbers were withdrawn before one low enough to affect the smallest district came out. It was 12«, placing 4,557 men numbered 120 on their local lists as 157th in order of liability. The following list shows the numbers In the order in which thejp were drawn. The first number in each case represents the order in \vhlch the second, or red-ink registry, number was taken from the bowl. Four numbers are given in each line, beginning with the first number, which was drawn by Secretary Baker. 4—4532 8—10015 12—2G24 16—7183 20—4614 24—4142 28—S251 82—6799 «—866« 40—6!»rt2 44—4306

ONLY WEIGHED 6 0 POUNDS After Taking Tanlac Has Gained Thirty-five Pounds and Expects to Return to Homo and Husband Well and Happy. ft "About six weeks ago I left my home ou our farm near Acworth, Ga., to come to my bister's home here In Atlanta, aud I left with only a shadow of hope of ever returning alive. "I left Acworth in a comfortable automobile, propped up on pillows, coming through the country. I had almost as much medicine as baggage —a big box full of all kinds that had been prescribed for me. 1 reached here very weak and with scarcely enough strength to walk to the door. This trouble from which I had suffered so long and which I was told was pellagra, had reduced me to almost a shadow, as I only weighed sixty pounds. "My brother-in-law, Mr. Battle, said, 'Well, you have tried everything else with no relief, now I want you to lay aside your "drug shop" and take Tanlac.' Well, he got It for me and I started on my first bottle that > day. "When I had taken about half the first bottle I began to feel stronger and encouraged. I continued to take it and it is nothing short of marvelous how I improved day by day. My appetite returned and my food seemed to nourish me and agree with me. My skin and complexion began clearing and I improved in every way possible until I am now a well woman, and when 1 say well I mean absolutely what I say. I want to tell the whole world that I thank God for Tanlac. "I weigh ninety-five pounds now and feel as well as I ever felt In my life. I am going back to my husband and home on the little farm, five miles from Acworth, tomorrow, and won't It be a Joyful meeting, returning absolutely well and happy—and won't I tell everybody about what Tanlac has done for me." The above remarkable statement was made recently by Mrs. O. C. Cason of Acworth, Ga., while at the home of her sister, Mrs. J. B. Battle, English Ave., Atlanta, Ga. There is a Tanlac dealer in your town.—Adv. For Darkened London. Suggestions for making ourselves i-lsilile "when the lights are low" are becoming rather alarming. We are advised, observes the London Chronicle, to wear "light clothes for dark streets." One humorist goes so far as to suggest a "coat of whitewash" for evening wear. White hats or gaiters would call for Jess expenditure than an extra light night suit which most of us would be obliged to add to our wardrobe. But perhaps the simplest device would be a white smock, with special musical box attachments; for one night wanderer says he makes a practice of singing.as he walks to let other folks know he is coming.

Of course every one rides on the trahis In Japan nowadays, for there are 7,000 miles of railways in the country, and every considerable town is at least connected with tbe railway by electric car or automobile.

A Japanese am satiating a bouse always leaves his shoes at tbe door, so when ttfese ladies got- aboard they politely left their clogs on tbe station platform. Great was their consternation later to find that their shoes had been left miles behind. Whara Farmhouse Beate Flat.

Through its hundreds of exhibits, daily tractor and farm machinery demonstrations, especially arranged lectures by noted crop experts, the Michigan State Fair has accomplished remarkable result* in -fathering the idea of agricultural development on a large scale. Recognizing the Importance of the Michigan State Fair in fostering the agricultural interests of the state, Gor< em or Sleeper has again authorized the appropriation of $100,000 for ths use of Michigan fairs.

Blaze took the speaker by the shouifer and faced him ubout. "Look hero," ^ald he, "I'm beginnin' to get wise to ^ou. 1 believe you're—the man In rr.e Case." When Dave nodded, he vented his amazement ID n long whistle. After a moment he asked, "Well, why did yon fe'tnt ine to come here alone, ahead of til* others?" I "Because I want you to know tin1 Whole Inside of this thing so that you can get busy when I'm gone; because 1 want to borrow what money you feave—" "What you almln' to pull off?" Blaze Inquired, suspiciously. • "I'm going to find her and bring her out." "You? Why, Dave, you can't get through. This is u Job for the vol fliers." « But Dave hardly seemed to hear him. "You must start things moving at once,'* he said, urgently. "Spread the dews, get the story Into the papers notify the authorities. Get every influence at work, from here to headquarters; get your senator and the governor of the state at work. Ellsworth will help you. And now give me your last dollar." Blaze emptied his pockets, shaking his shaggy head the while. "La Ferla Is a hundred and fifty miles In," he remonstrated. "By rail from Pueblo, yes. But It's barely a hundred, straight from here." "You ain't got a chance, single-handed. You're crazy to try It." Dave turned a sick, colorless face to his friend. "They'll carve a stone for Longorio if I do get through." He called to Montrosa, and the mare came to him, holding her head to one side so as not to tread upon her dragging reins. "I'm 'most tempted to go with you," Blaze stammered uncertainly. "No. Somebody has to stay here rind MJr things up. If we had twenty men ttfca yo I we might cut our way in and .OQt, but there's no time to organize. aad, anyhow, the government would probably stop us. I've got a hum h that I'll make It. If I don't—why, it's all right." The two men shook hands llngerlni;- ly, awkwardly ; then Blaze managed to .wish his friend luck. "If you don't come back," he said, with a peculiar (patch in his voice, "I reckon therv's enough good Texans left to follow your (frail. I'll sure look forward to It." j Dave took the river bank to Sangre We Cristo, where, by means of the dilapidated ferry, he "gained the Mexican Bide.

The deepening blue of the high sky overhead was the hue of a certain woman's I eyes. A warm, soft breeze out of the west beat Into his face, and he remembered how warm and soft Alaire's | breath had been upon his cheek. ' The woman of hl« desires was yon- [ der, where- those colors warred, and 1 she was mantled in red and gold and ; purple for his coming. The thought aroused him; he felt only a throbbing eagerness to see her and to take' her in his arms once more before the end. With his head high and his face agleam. he rode into the west, Into the heart of the sunset. CHAPTER XX. La Feria. "What's this I hear about war?" Dolores Inquired of her mistress, a few days after their arrival at La Feria. "They tell me that Mexico Is Invaded and that the American soldiers have already killed more than a thousand women and children." "Who tells you this?" Alaire asked. "The men—everybody," Dolores waved a hand In the direction of the other ranch buildings. "Our people are buzzing like bees with the news, and, of course, no one cares to work when the Americans are coming." "I shall have to rjrut an end to such talk." "This morning the word came that the revolution is ended and that the soldiers of both parties are uniting to fight for their liberties. They say the gringos are killing all the old people— everyone, in Tact, except the girls, whom they take with them. Already they have begun the most horrible, practices. Why, at Espinal"—Dolores' eyes were round—"would you believe it?—those Yankee soldiers ate a baby I They roasted the little dear like a cabrito and ate it! I tell you, It makes <*ild talk among the peladors." "Do you believe such stories?" Alaire inquired, with some amusement. "Um-m—not altogether. But, all the same, I think it is time we were going home." "This is home, for me, Dolores." "Yes, but now that war—" "There isn't any war, and there won't be any. However, if you are nervous I'll send you back to Las Palmas at once." "Glory of God ! It would be the end of me. These Mexicans would recognize me Instantly as an American, for I have the appearance and the culture. You enn Imagine what would happen to me. They would tear me from the train. It was nothing except General Longorlo's soldiers that brought us safely through from Neuvo Pueblo." "Then Tm glad that he insisted upon sending them with us. Now tell the ranch-hands to put no faith in these ridiculous stories. If they wish the truth let them ask General Longorio; he will be here today and quiet their fears." *'You think he Intends to pay us for our cattle?** MYea.M Dolores pondered a moment. "Wen, perhaps he does—it Is not his money. For that matter, he would give all Mexico If you asked I t Tsel His love consumes him like a fever." Alaire stirred uneasily; then she rose and went to an open window, whJoa looked out into the tiny patio with Its trickling fountain and its rank, untended plants. "Why do you insist that he lores me?" she asked. "All Mexicans are gallant and pay absurd compliments. It's Just a way they have.. He has never spoken a" word that could give offense." As Dolores said nothing, she went on, hesitatingly, "I can't very well refuse to see him, for I don't possess even a receipt to show that he took those cattle," "Oh, you mast not offend aim," Dolores agreed, hastily, "or we'd aerer leave Mexico allre." With which cheerlag announcement the housekeeper beared s deep sign and went about her duties with a gloomy face, Longorio arrived that afternoon, and Alaire received him in the great,naked living room of the hacienda, with her beat sttempt at formality. Bat her coolness served not la the least to efaill his fervor. "Seneca," he cried, eagerly, **I hare a thousand tnlags to ten yon, things of the greatest Uapottaaea, They hare tor hoar* hat' :Wj»iaU t'' iv-.x; now that"! behold you 1 grow drunk with delight and my lips frame nothing but words of admiration for your beauty. So! I feast my eyes." He retained his warm clasp of her fingers, seeming to envelop her uncomfortably with his ardor. "What is Jt you have to tell me?" she asked him, withdrawing her hand. "Well, I hardly know where to begin —events have moved so swiftly, and such incredible things have "happened. Even uow I am in a daze, for history is being made every hour—history for Mexico, for you, and for me. I bring you good news and bad news; something to startle you and set your brain in a whirl. I planned to send a messenger ahead of me, and then I said: 'No, this is a crisis; therefore no tongue but mine shall apprise her, no hand but mine shall comfort her. Only a coward shrinks from the unpleasant; I shall lighten her distress and awaken in her breast new hope, new happir. ass'—" "-What do you mean?" Alaire inquired, sharply. "You say you bring bad news?" The general nodded. "In a way, terrible, shocking! Aud yet I look beyond the immediate and see in it a blessing. So must you. To me it spells the promise of my unspoken longings, my whispered prayers." Noting his hearer's growing bewilderment, he laid a hand familiarly upon her arm. "No matter how I tell you, it will be a blow, for death Is always sudden; it always finds us unprepared." "Death? Who—is dead?" "Restrain yourself. Allow for my clumsiness." "Who? Please tell me!" "Someone very close to you and very dear to you at one time, My knowledge of your long unhappiness alone gives me courage to speak." Alaire raised her fluttering fingers to her throat ; her eye? were wide as she said: "You don't mean—Mr. Austin?'.' "Yes." Longorio scrutinized her closely, as if to measure the effect of his disclosure. "Senora, you are free!" Alaire uttered a breathless exclamation ; then, feeling his gaze burning Into her, turned away, but not before he had noted her sudden pallor, the blanching of her lips. This unexpected announcement dazed her; it scattered her thoughts and robbed her of words, but just what her dominant emotion was at the moment she could not tell. Once her first giddiness had passed, however, once the truth had borne in upon her, she found that she felt no keen anguish, and certainly no Impulse to weep. Rather she experienced a vague horror, such as the death of an acquaintance or of a familiar relative might evoke. Ed had been anything but a true hueband, and her feeling now was more for the memory of the man he had been, for the boy she had known and loved, than for the man whose name «he bore. So he was gone and, Longorio said, she was free. It meqnt much. She realised dimly that in this one moment her whole life had changed. She had never thought of this way out of her embarrassments; she had been prepared, in fact, for anything except this. Dead! It was deplorable, for Ed was young. Once the first shock had passed away, she became conscious of a deep pity for the man, and a complete forgiveness for the misery he had caused her. After a time she faced the newsbearer, and in a strained voice inquired : "How did it happen? Was It—because of mer" "No, nol Rest your mind on that score. See! I understand your concern and I share your Intimate thoughts. No, it was an accident, ordained by God. His end was the result of his own folly, a gunshot wound while he was drunk, I believe. Now you will understand why I said that I bore tidings both good and evil, and why L of all people, should be the one to Impart them," Alaire turned questioning eyes upon* him, as If to fathom his meaning, and he answered her with his brilliant smile. Failing to evoke a response, he went o n : "Ever since I heard of It I hare repeated over and over again, I t Is a miracle; it la the will of God/ Come, then, wa know each other so well that we may speak frankly. Let as ha heneat and pretend to ao counterfeit emotions. Let us recognise In this only yoor deliverance add the certainty of that blessed happiness which divine providence offers as both." . "Bothr aha repeated, dally. "Mead I ha plsioarl loa kaow say \fTVj, heart. You have read me. You understand how I have throttled my longings and remained mute while all my be^ng called to you." Alaire withdrew a step, and her cheeks colored with anger. "General!" she exclaimed, with some difficulty, "I am amazed. This is no Qme—" Her indignation rose with the sound of her own voice, causing her to stammer. Taking advantage of her loss of words, he hurried on : "You must pardon my Impetuosity, but I am a man of tremendous force, and my life moves swiftly. I am not shackled by conventions— they are less than nothing tt» me. If it seems to you that my eagerness carries me away, remember that war is upon us and that affairs of mo* ment press me so that I am compelled to move like the lightning. With me, senora, a day Is a year. The past is gone, the present is here, the future rushes forward to meet us." "Indeed, you forget yourself," she said, warmly. Then, changing her tone: "I too must act quickly. I must go back at once." "Oh, but I have told you only a part of what I came to say." "Surely the rest can wait." Her voice was vibrant with contempt. "I'm in no condition to listen to anything else." But Longorio Insisted. "WaJU It is impossible for youv to leave here." Alaire stared at him Incredulously. "It is true. Mexico is a seething caldron of hate; the country is convulsed. It would be unsafe for you." "Do you mean to say that war has been declared?" "Practically." "What—? You are telling me the truth?" A moment, then Alaire continued, more calmly, "If that is so, there is all the more reason why I should lose no time." , "Listen !" The general was deeply in earnest. "You have no conception of the chaos out there." He waved a comprehensive gesture. "If the explosion has not come, It will come within a few hours. That Is why I flew to your side. Battleships are hurrying toward our const, troops are massing against our border, and Mexico has risen like one man. The people are in a frenzy ; they are out of bounds ; there Is sack and pillage in the cities. Americans are objects of violence everywhere and the peons are frantic." He paused Impressively. '.'We face the grentest upheaval of history." "Then Why are you here?" Alaire demanded. "This is no place for you at such a moment." Longorio came closer to her, and his voice trembled as he said : "Angel of my soul, my place is at your side." Again she recoiled, but with a fervor he had never dared display he rushed on heedlessly. "I have told you 1 harken only to my heart; that for one smile from you I would behead myself; that for your favor I would betray my fatherland; that for your kiss I would face damnation, WeH, I am here at your side. The deluge comes, but you shall be unharmed." He would not permit her to check him, crying: "Wait 1 You must hear me through, senora, so that you may comprehend fully why I am forced to speak at this time. Out of this coming struggle I shall emerge a heroic figure. Now that Mexico unites, she will triumph, and of all her victorious sons the name of Luis Longorio will be sung the loudest, for upon him more than upon any other depends the republic's salvation. I do not boast I merely state facts, for I have made all my plans, and tomorrow I put them into effect That Is why I cannot wait to speak. The struggle will be long, but you shall be my guiding star In, the hours of darkness," Under other circumstances the man's "magnificent egotism might have provoked a smile. And yet, for all Its grandiloquence, there was something In his speech t h a t rang hard and true. Unquestionably Longorio was dangerous— a real personality, and no mere swaggering pretender. Alaire felt a certain reluctant respect for him, and at the same time s touch of chilling fear such as she had hardly experienced before. She faced him silently for a moment; then she said: "Am I to understand that yon forbid me to leave my own house T T o r the time being, exactly.** "What? Then I am your prisoner T (TO BE CONTINUED.)

Bureau of Entomology. Entomology, that branch of zoology which treats of Insects, has a much closer relation to war problems than most people realize, and the bureau of entomology has asked that pamphlets, circulars, posters, leaflets, etc., pertaining to war phases of the field of science be sent to its office in Washington, so that they can be assembled and classified for future reference, says P o p u l a r Mechanics Magazine.

Great interest bus bi-eu aroused by the reference made in i lie London Telegraph recently to the economic advantages of the utilization of co:ii t;us us u substitute for petrol ( g a s o l i n e ) , says that newspaper. It lias been established by actual ijructiee that 250 cubic feet of coal g u s - t l i e ordinary gas tbut is used for household Illumination p u r p o s e s — e q u a l s one gallon of petrol when applied to the work of driving a motor vehicle. If gas costs 712 cents 1,000 cubic feet it is equivalent to«petrol at 18 c e n t s a gallon, and at 9« cents 1,000 cubic feet is equivalent to its competitor at -24 cents a gallon. A s petrol cannot be bought today for commercial purposes at under 48 to 58 cents H gallon, it will be seen how great Is the economy effected. So fur a s the alterations rendered necessary to the e n g i n e of a motor vehicle are concerned, the only additional expenditure is about $8.00, and the g a s bag container for the storing of the vapor c o s t s $75. T h u s , for the expenditure of $78.60, an ordinary petrol using motor vehicle of any description can be converted Into a gas driven one, and the driving e x p e n s e s reduced enormously.

The drawing shown here Illustrates bow one of the standard milking machines draws the milk from the cow's teat. Any method* of drawing the milk from the udder down through the teat also tends to draw blood, from the veins of the udder down into the smaller veins of the teat. It Is necessary that something shall keep massaging this '"blood back from the teat, so that It will continue in circulation. The comfortable upward squeeze does exactly this. This squeeze Is adjustable, so that rhe "Privacy" a Growing Factor. "We have on our statute laws which authorise us to consider our houses as castles, which we may lawfully defend against Intrusion," says the editor of Farm and Fireside. "This gives the stamp of legal approval to the privacy of the home. We are coming also to believe in the separate privacy of each one ID the family. In the ideal borne the children have separate rooms, the father has his 'office' or 'den,' and the mother Is gradually being upheld by public opinion In her desire to have a room where she-may rest au hour or so during the day, undisturbed by the children and the demands of the household."

Never once, either in the preparation or the termination of her wonderful accomplishment, did MIBB Law betray a weakness of her sex—not even a tremor of the voice revested that she was the least bit nervous over the trip. Combats 8evere Cold. To combat the chill of the higher altitudes Miss Law dressed in a novel cold-defying costume consisting first of a suit of silk, one of chamois, two of wool, a garment of soft leather and finally a heavy fur-lined overcoat. On her head she wore a woolen cap covered with a stout leather helmet; her feet were incased In two pairs of heavy woolen stockings and high laced leather boots, and on her hands were thick woolen mittens. Despite this apparently invulnerable protection from the icy wind on high, the aviatrice complained of the cold when she reached her destination-New York. A girl who can undergo the rigors of such a trip would naturally be suspected of qualities of endurance and a system of nerves not common to women. Miss Law Insists she is possessed of no unusual qualifications, and that anything she has done may be accomplished by any member of her sex. Flys Over French. Front Following her remarxable crosscountry flight, Miss Law went to Prance where she associated herself with the American aviation corps attached to the French army, and made a number of successful flights over enemy trenches on the western front. She was the first woman to participate in war maneuvers in an aeroplane and her daring, won the warm appreciation and compliments of army officers and aviators long experienced In aerial warfare. She is the only woman in the country authorized to wear the uniform of the United States signal corps and the insignia of the aero corps. Miss Law's appearanoe In Detroit during the Michigan State Fair. August 31 to September 9. has created interest in her throughout the state. Her aerial feats will be fully as spectacular as, her other notable accomplishments constituting , the most remarkable demonstration of control in the air ever offered for the entertainment of Fair patrons.

During the past three years it has yielded 30 bushels per acre on an average from all parts of the state where it is grown and the best growers averaged 40 buBhel3. It frequently yields 45 bushels per acre. Now, if the yield in Livingston County could be raised to average 30i)ushel9 per acre for three years instead of 16, it would mean that this year we would harvest 330,000 bushels instead of 176,- 000, an increase of 154,000 bushels or more than $300,060 worth a t $2.00 per bushel. The cost of fitting the land would be no greater, harvesting would be only slightly increased and returns would be practically doubled.

GREECE JOINS ENTENTE ALLIES FORMAL DECLARATION WA8 MADE IN PARIS BY GREEK ' MINISTER. WILL MOBILIZE ARMY AT ONCE If Munitions Are Provided for Put 300,000 Men In Field. WIU Washington—Uncertainty as to Greece's status in the world war was cleared away upon the receipt of official information that the Greek government not only has severed relations with all four of the Central powers, but U actually in a state of war with them. Information has reached the state department that the Greek minister In Paris has notified the French government Greece considers herself a full belligerent, and will act accordingly. He said it was not necessary to iBsue a formal declaration of war, as the government feels it is bound by the declarations previously issued at Saloniki by Premier Venizelos, who took with him to Athens all the responsibilities and commitments of the temporary Saloniki government. As a belligerent Greece is expected to lose no time in mobilizing her war resourced and joining effectively in the common allied operations in the Balkans. The strength of the Venizelos army is placed at about 60,000 men, and the remnants of the former regular army, while not over 30,000 now, has at times been mobilized to a total of 200,000 men and is capable of reaching 300,000 if munitions are provided. % The regulars practically were demobilized by the Allies when former King Constantine held the organization as a threat to the Allies' rear, but can quickly be called to the colors again. WRANGLE OVER FOOD BILL Considerable Progress Was Made On Compromise Amendments. Washington—A wrangle over President Wilson's appointment of Herbert C. Hoover as food administrator took up considerable time in debates in the senate on the food control bill, but meantime considerable progress on compromise amendments was made by the leaders in bi-partisan conferences. Among the agreements made at the bi-partisan conference were these: Elimination of cotton, Bteel, wool, lumber, copper, farming implements, fertilizer, hemp, jute, sisal and various other commodities from the controlled list, leaving only food and fuel. Retention, with some modifications, of the committee amendment, forbidding members of the national council of defense and advisory committees from buying for the government from concerns in which they are financially interested. Provision of a food board of three instead of a sole food "dictator." Modification of the licensing section, somewhat limiting the powers .of the administration as originally proposed. The liquor question, having been disposed through the elimination of whisky, but with no prohibition of beer and light wines, was left undisturbed by the compromise. 640 MILLION TUNE BILL PASSED House Also Passes Bill to Take Over North Island for Aviation Purposes. Washington—The war department bill appropriating $640,000,000 for construction of 22,000 airplanes was passed by the house without a roll call and without a dissenting vote. It was sounded only in minor details. At the same time the senate passed the novae bill permitting the governnment to take over the whole of North Island, in the harbor of San Diego, Cal., for aviation purposes. An appropriation has bee* made of $$¢0,000, with which to refartrarse property owners. Amendments to the aviation bin adopted by the hduse included one by ttspioeesUitlve Lenroot, of Wisconsin, tisnitins; the broad authorities granted tie* executive for the prsasnt war eaaersjomey, *ad one by Representative rtlausnlfl of New York, providing thai onHstod mam drafted for the ariatioa corps shall be within the ages of 11 to * tftdaatve.

The reichstag labors for peace and mutual understanding and lasting reconciliation among the nations. "Forced acquisitions of territory and political, economic and financial violations are incompatible with such peace. "The reichstag rejects all plans aiming at an economic blockade and the stirring up of enmity among the peoples after the war. The freedom of the seas must be assured. Only an economic peace can prepare the ground for the friendly association of the peoples. "The reichstag will energetically promote the creation of International juridical organizations. "So long, however, as the enemy governments do not accept such a peace; so long as they threaten Germany and her allies with conquest and violation, the German people will stand together as one man, hold out unshaken and fight until the rights of itself and its allies to life and development are secured. The German nation united is unconquerable. "The reichstag knows that in this announcement, it is at one with the men who are defending the fatherland; in the heroic struggles they are sure of the undying thanks of the whole people."

Washington—A million dollar airplane factory for Detroit Is in the mind of Josephus Daniels, secretary of the nary. The secretary, like the -war department, says he recognises the superior advantages of an automobile center like Detroit in the manufacture of flying machines. The secretary has not yet the means to build his factory, but says he will ask congress for the money. It now is the navy department policy to equip the fleet with airplanes and never to send It to sea without this adjunct. This applies not alone to the battleship fleet, bat also to the light flotillas of destroyers, torpedo boats and submarine chasers. Secretary Daniels Is convinced that the sirplane will be one of the most effective weapons with which to meet a submarine attack, and especially should submarines attempt aggressive action on this side of the Atlantic Kansas City, Mo.—Police and militiame% raided newly established I.

A score of industrialists were taken into custody and are being held on charges of investigation. Some of them showed a desire to become ugly, but rough handling subdued them. ^ Drive Foreigners Out. Flat River, Mo.—About 700 foreignborn laborers were forced out of the St. PrancoiB county lead belt by American- born miners, who insisted that all the foreigners must leave. The Americans, armed with shotguns, and carrying American flags, rushed the foreigners to the railway station every time a train came in. The Americana fired into the air as they herded the foreigners to the trains. No one has been seriously hurt. Calumet Citizens Ask Aid. Lansing—A telegram from Calumet citizens asking for aid against a possible I. W. W. uprising after the Michigan guardsmen are called from here, was received by Governor Sleeper. He arranged with the war preparedness board to have three companies of state troops organized at Calumet mustered in. Reports from Menominee and Escanaba indicate that state troop units are being rapidly organised there to quell I. W. W. agitation which is generally feared throughout the copper country. London—Kaiser Wilhelm has accept* ed the resignation of his Imperial chancellor, Theobald von Bethmann- Hollweg, and has appointed Dr. Georg Michaelia, under secretary of finance for Prussia and a privy councillor, in his place. An official German wireless dispatch with this information was announced by the British admiralty. No further details were given. Undoubtedly, however, the whole Hollweg cabinet has fallen. Official confirmation was had earlier that the Prussian minister of war, General von Stein, had resigned and that his retirement ham been approved by the raiser. The resignations of all the Prussian cabinet were formally tendered the kaiser several days ago, when the German political situation became acute. The emperor delayed acceptance dispatches from Berlin mentioned that neither Minister of the Interior Helfferich, nor Minister of Instruction Solz, of the Prussian ministry, had been in attendance at recent meetings of that body, indicating their imperial master had dropped them from his official list of councillors. Germany's censorship has concealed the full story of the political strife which has now culminated in the downfall of the empire's most astute statesman and the most powerful politician. CHILD SLAIN BY DEGENERATE Was Found Dead in Rsar of His Home; Other Brother injured. London—The Reuter correspondent at Amsterdam, under date of July 13, says the Bavarian Kurler publiahea what the Rheinische Westfalische Zeituno ealla "an almost incredible and sensational revelation," to the effect that Professor Harnaek, June 30, wrote, in a letter which he tent to Munich, an account of an interview he had had a few days previously with Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, imperial German chancellor, According to this account, the channcelior informed Professor Harnaek that his views closely approximated those of Philip Scheidemsnn, Dr. Eduard David, Social* ists, and Dr. Karl Heine, Social- Democrat, but he could not free himself entirely from the influences of the Conservatives, who must first be divided before he obtained a free hand for action. Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg said the great danger was from Germane who continued to believe in victory and added: "In the best case, It can only be a draw." Detroit—Evidently mistaking Stanley Levine, 6-year-old, for his 9-yearold sister, who was not at home, a man believed to be a degenerate dragged bim from his bed through an open window into the yard at the rear of his home, 24ft Bast Ferry avenue, and there suffocated and tilled him. While attempting to prevent Isadora, 8 years old, Stanley's brother, from crying for help after he had been awakened by the opening of the window, the man tore the boy's mouth and threatened to km him If he did not remain quiet surrounding -* ^*aW".^'?/ '•** The reformists who precipitated the crisis originally marked Hollweg for destruction purely because of his individual refusal to acquiesce in their demands for wide electoral reforms and for a pledge that Germany's peace alms do not contemplate annexations. Then later dispatches reported that the Center party revolters and the radicals whtr Joined with them to assume control in the reichstag were opposed to Hollweg's retirement, being fearful that his successor would be even less amenable to reform Influences than Hollweg. Dispatches received from Berlin, having been delayed by censor, emphasized that if Hollweg yielded to the reichstag's demands for parliamentary reform, there was no reason for him to resign on account of inability ta agree with the parliament on the question of peace aims. This would seem to indicate that Hollweg has flatly refused the parliamentary reform program. Before receipts of the official confirmation of HoUwefs retirement the newspaper Germania was quoted in dispatches here as asserting his fall "was inevitable, since the Junkers, headed ny the crown prince, were gaining the upper hand in the situation." The Germanla Is the Center party's official organ, in this connection it was moisted out that the crown prime* has been actively conferring for two or three days in Berlin, and that FleM W i w h ^ l Hindeaburg and Quartermaster General Lodondort, the two arce^aaostJes of ssfittarlem, had aeon to Borate from the front, forthe Of time in a tuf da* to the at a ttsmo < . • . • * 4 i **• V5\ **x* '*>' * v • • * tffr - » . • - > : ' "..'£»' ' - V ^ j **—> • * * * » ' TO! ;-?s: .

ASSOCIATION FORMED JUNE 1 OME BEAJ 5 aivd 5KrvnV _ are and Cultivation. The Work Is An Outgrowth of s Campaign Started Before U. 8. Entered the War. Lansing. Under direction of the recently organized Conservation Association of Michigan, which in turn is working under direction of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, more than 100 trained underwriters Inspectors are now making a survey to obtain correct and detailed information for the United States government concerning all food depositories and forms of merchandise that it is desired shall be properly safeguarded from destruction by fire or other agencies during progress of the war. The work is an outgrowth of a campaign begun by the federal government shortly before the United States entered the European war. In this campaign the entire service, resources and facilities of the National Board of Fire Underwriters was placed at disposal of the government through Secretary Baker, of the war department, by R. M. Bissell, president of the national board. Through this assistance the government, within six days was supplied with information concerning grain ejtevators, flour mills, produce ware- Jspuses, cold storage plants, packing llDUBes, and other forms of property ttd of merchandise, throughout the united States. The value of this information, it is said, could not be estimated in dollars and cents and the National Council of Defense admitted it would have required years to obtain it through other channels. The Conservation Association of Michigan was formed in Lansing June 1, at a meeting in the senate chamber of the state capital. There were present more than 100 trained underwriters inspectors. Governor Sleeper and State Fire Marshal Winship were in attendance and promised their cooperation and support, The slogan adopted by the organization is: "Our armies need food. Don't let it burn." New War Camp Homelike. Oeorge A. Bellamy, appointed by the secretary of war in thd special work of organizing the social and recreational resources, for the soldiers, is at Battle Creek beginning the work, A plan has been outlined and will consist of three parts: The Y. M. C. A. will establish a recreation building for each brigade with books and magazines, provisions for writing letters, lectures, church services, singing, games, moving pictures and other educational and recreational activities. Five men witt be in charge of each building and there will be five of these buildings. The second branch of the work will be to aid in the exclusion of rice and vicious resorts from the neighborhood of each camp. The third branch of the work win be of a more poaitlve sort, tor the purpose of sjtvlna; the men la the camp normal social tmtareonrte and recreation, it ha* been found that the «a* deriving cause of the great and ob- Tiosi evils which hate attended the eeUbUahment of training camps in this country and in Europe has been the result of cutting the men off from normal social intercourse and recognition, home, church, employment and friends. ^.. An attempt will be made to have the actual presence of the soldiers' families stear the camp for longer or shortter periods. Every sort of natural relation between the men in the camps and the local community itself will be established, in the churches, lodges, college societies, business association*, club*, recreation centers, and other organise/ tiona of svery sort Stake Viburnums So the Wind Will Not Blow Them Down. WICHURIANA LIST Dr. Robert Huey, one of the most eminent amateur rosarians of the country has prepared a list of roses in the wlchuriana class, the hybrid tea class and the hybrid perpetual class as being the best fitted for cultivation in this country. Of the wlchuriana, or climbing roses, these he considers the best: Dorothy Perkins, Relne Marie Henriette, Christine Wright, Excelsa, Gardenia, Hiawatha, Dr. Van Fleet and Elisa Robichon. . In the hybrid tea class, a cross between the vigorous hybrid perpetual and the tea rose, the latter of which Is not vigorous enough for outdoor cultivation in this climate, are the following : Antolne Revoire, Betty, Clarice Goodacre, Chrisaie MacKellar, Mrs. MacKellar, Dorothy Page Roberts, Duchess of Wellington, General Mac- Arthur, Grace Molyneux, Gustav Grunerwald, George C. Waud, Joseph Hill, Killarney, Yonkheer J. L. Mock, Honorable Ina Bingham, Laurent Carle, Lyon Rose, Madame Jules Bonche, Madame Jules Grolez, Madame Marie de Luze, Ophelia, My Maryland, Robert Huey, Pharisal, Prince de Bulgaria, Souvenir de President Carnot, Wlllowmere, Mrs. Aaron Ward, Madame Segond Weber^ Mary, Countess of Ilchester, and Mrs. Harold Brocklebank. The hybrid perpetual, the common June rose, has these varieties which Doctor Huey recommends: Frau Karl Druscgka, Snsanne Marie Rodocanachi, Mrs. George Dickson, Capt Hayward, Ulrica Brunner, Oskar Cordet, Mrs. John Lalng,. and Baroness Rothschild. No matter what your selection the arrangement of the cut flowers and the beauty of the potted plant make the effect. Poppies, of gorgeous colors, artistically placed In a simple glass bowl, makes one of the most beautiful and restful center pieces. For your plants get three or four asparagus plumosus and give them a good soil of garden loam made light with sand. Water moderately. Sunshine Is not essential to its successful culture. Shower several times a week and keep red spider from Injuring It. Be sure to nip off the end of each shoot, as advised to above to make the plant spread out well. Don't forget that a bowl of flowers on the table Is a great distributer of sunshine and dlspeller of gloom. TABLE DECORATIONS The best plant for a daily table decoration is undoubtedly the asparagus plumosus. It has foliage much daintier than any other fern. It can be easily grown In a bushy compact form which a plant designed for table use should have. TO GET RID OF A PEflENNIAL.

The state of Michigan has finally secured a settlement with the sand dredgers in various waters, and may be enriched about 130,000.

"Upon one occasion when I was engaged In a prohibition campaign in Canuda," jsays Prof. John A. Nicholls of Boston, "there came into the county seat a good-natured Irishman, the possessor of a farm in an adjoining town. One of the would-be liquor seliera met him und at once proceeded to pour forth his tale of woe. 'Fat,' Bald he, *I hear that you are going to vote to continue this prohibition law. Now, that means the ruin of the county; grass will grow in the streets, and business will be ruined. You have a farm over in Melbourne, and you will not be able to sell your butter, your eggs, or your turkeys.' With woe-begone countenance he described the scene, and told of the awful calamifles that would befall the county unless licenses were granted to men to sell liquor. "Pat listened to the story with a peculiar expression upon his face, then, with a comical twist of his eye, with one question, he punctured the bubble. 'Bedad,' said he, 'and would they take away the mouth of you, then?' The demand for food would still continue— and Pat felt that his farm was «afe. "Grass will grow in the streets, say the liquor advocates, and the schools will be closed, unless whisky can be sold upon the street corners. Well, if it is grass or whisky, I am in favor of grass. A cow will eat grass, give milk, and keep someone alive, but a saloon cannot run and do business without debasing someone and adding to the sum of human misery and sorv row." PER80NAL LIBERTY. What is to become of the fundamental doctrine of personal liberty; that a man may eat and drink what he pleases? What is to become of the theory that the development of standard and sterling quullties in man can only be accomplished by stress and strain and temptation? These are serious questions that go to the root of human progress. The right of the individual to eat and drink what he pleases and wear the clothes that he likes Is restricted by the fundamental principle that a man's actions shall not threaten evil to society at large. If one insists on eating poisoned food and giving It to his family, he threatens the existence of the state. If one should choose to walk the streets naked, he would offend the rights of other people, and thus threaten society. Doctor Mary Walker found that woman's clothes hampered her activities as a war nurse. She had, however, to get an act of congress to permit her to wear a man's garb undisturbed. This may seem a silly thing. In so far as I can see, a woman does not threaten society In any way by wearing a man's garb. She only threatens convention, and yet the law regulates wearing apparel In the interests of decency, propriety, and good morals. The drinking of intoxicating beverages is a threat not only to the man who drinks, but to society at large, and thus, without interfering with the fundamental rights of the individual or restricting a proper personal liberty, the state may say, "Thou shalt not drink." CUT OFF THE SUPPLY. It Is estimated that the traffic teaches four out of five of all American boys to drink liquor in some form before they reach their majority. Deny to this liquor traffic the channels of trade; do It nationally. You get of coarse, some results when yon do It locally. You get larger results when yon do it as a county. You get still larger and better results when yon do it ss a state, bat do It nationally, and ultimately internationally! Dry up the sources of supply.—Richmond Pearson Hobson. NO DRINK ON KING'S T A B U . It is no longer etiquette to place wines or liquor on the table when King George is s guest, according to the London Spectator, which is conducting an active campaign for prohibition during the war. The king's order barring the use of alcoholic beverages in his palaces while the war continues is being adhered to rigidly. No wine is served, even at dinner parties at Buckingham Palace or Windsor. PROOF POSITIVE.

I know of little better worth remembering as we grow old than what pleased us while* we were y«mg. With the memory of tne kind words once spoken come back the still kinder looks of those who spoke them; and, better than all, that early feeling of budding manhood, when there was neither fear nor distrust. Alas, these are the things, and not weak eyes and tottering limbs, which form the burden of old age.

He examined it carefully; then lie remounted and rode on, pondering Its significance. Dave loped out of the thicket and straight across the clearing to the Morales house. Leaving Montrosa's reins hanging, he opened the door and entered without knocking. Rosa appeared in the opening to another room, tier eyes wide with fright at this apparition, and Dave saw that she was dressed in her finest, as if for a holiday or for a Journey. "Where's your fatherr he demanded. "He's gone to Sangre de Cristo. •What do you want?" "When did he go?" "This morning, early. He—n "Who's been here since he left?" , Rosa was recovering from her first surprise, and now her black brows drew together in anger. "No one has come. You are the first. And have jyou no manners to stride into a respectable house—?" Dave broke In harshly: "Rosa, you're lying. Jose Sanchez has been here within an hour. Where is he?" When the girl only grew whiter and raised a hand to her breast, he stepped toward her, crying, "Answer me!" Rosa recoiled, and the breath caught In her throat like a sob. "I'll tell you nothing," she said in a thin voice. Then she began to tremble. "Why do you want Jose?" "You know why. He killed Don Eduardo, and then he rode here. Come! I know everything." "Lies! Lies!" Rosa's voice grew shrill. "Out of this house! I know you. It was you who betrayed Panfilo, end his blood Is on your hands, assassin.'" With the last word she made as if to retreat, but Dave was too quick; he seized her, and for an Instant they struggled breathlessly. Dave had reasoned beforehand that bis only chance of discovering anything from this girl lay in utterly terrorlzlng her and in profiting by her first panic; therefore he pressed bis advantage. He succeeded better than {he had dared to hope. "You know who killed Senor Ed," he cried, fiercely. "The fortune-teller read jour plana, and there-Is no use to deny iV Rosa screamed again; she writhed; she tried to sink her teeth into her captor*! flesh. In her body was the Irtrangth of a full-grown man, and Dave could hardly hold her. But suddenly, as the two scuffled, from the back room of the bouse came a sound which caused Dave to release the girl as abruptly as he had seized her—it was the clink and tinkle of Mexican spurs upon a wooden floor. UJP, CHAPTER XIX. The Water-Cur*. . Without an instant's hesitation Dave flung himself past Rosa and through the inner door.

Jose managed to gasp. There was a somewhat prolonged silence, during which Dave continued to stuie at his prisoner with that same disquleiing expression. "Why did you kill I inn Eduardo?" he asked. "Yi Bah I Who says I Wiled him?" Jose Klured defiance. "Why are you looking at me? Come! Take me to jail, if you think that will do any good." "It's lucky I rode to Las Palmas this morning. In another hour you would have been across the Bio Grande— with Rosa and all her fine clothes, eh? Now you will be hanged. Well, that Is how fortune goes." The horse-breaker tossed his head and shrugged with a brave assumption of indifference; he laughed shortly. "Tou can prove nothing." "Yes," continued Dave, "and Rosa will go to prison, too. Now—suppose I should let you go? Would you help me? In ten minutes you could be safe." He inclined his head toward the muddy, silent river outside. "Would you be willing to help me?" Jose's brows lifted. "What's this you are saying?" he inquired, eagerly. "I would only ask you a few questions." "What questions?" "Where is Senora Austin?" Jose's face became blank. "I don't know." "Oh yes, you do. She started for La Feria. But—did she get there? Or did Longorio have other plans for her? You'd better tell me the truth, for your general can't help you now." Dave did bis best to read the Mexican's expression, but failed. "Senor Ed's death means nothing to me," he went on, "but I must know where his wife is, and I'm willing to pay, with your liberty." In spite of himself his anxiety was plain. Jose exclaimed: "Ho! I understand. He was in your way and you're gtad to be rid of him. Well, we hate no business fighting with each other." "Will you tell me—?" "I'll tell you nothing, for I know nothing." "Come ! I must know." Jose laughed Insolently. Law's face became black with sudden fury. His teeth bared themselves. He took a step forward, crying: "By heaven! You will tell me!" Seizing his prisoner by the throat, he pinned him to the wall; then with his free hand he cocked Longorio's revolver and thrust its muzzle against Jose's body. "Tell me!" he repeated. His countenance was so distorted, his expression so maniacal, that Jose felt his hour had come. The latter, being in all ways Mexican, did not struggle; Instead, he squared his shoulders and, staring fearlessly into the face above him, cried; "Shoot!" For a moment the two men remained so ; then Dave seemed to regain control of himself and the murder light flickered out of his eyes. He flung his prisoner aside and cast the revolver into a corner of the room. Jose picked himself up, cursing his captor eloquently. "You gringos don't know how to die," he said. "Death? Pah! We must die some time. And supposing I do know something about the senora, do you think you can force me to speak? Torture wouldn't open my lips." Law did not trust himself to reply; and the horse-breaker went on with growing defiance: "I am innocent of any crime; therefore I am brave. But you—the blood of innocent men means nothing to you —Panfllo's murder proves that—so complete your work. Make an end of me.H "Be still!" Dave commanded, thickly. But the fellow's hatred was out of bounds now, and by the bitterness of his vituperation he seemed to invite death. Dave interrupted his vitriolic curses to ask harshly: "Will you tell me, or will you force me to wring the truth out of you?** Jose answered by spitting at his captor; then he gritted an unspeakable epithet from between his teeth.** Dave addressed him with an air of finality. "You killed that man and your life is forfeit, so it doesn't make much difference whether I take It or whether the state takes i t Ton are brave enough to die—most of you Mexicans are—but the state can't force yon to speak, and I can.*1 Jose sneered. "Oh yes, I can! I intend to know all that you know, and It will be better for you to tell me voluntarily. I must learn where Senora Austin is, and I mast learn quickly, If I have to kill you by Inches to get the truth." "So! Torture, eh? Good. I can believe It of yon. Well, a alow firs will not make me speak.* "No. A fire would be too easy, Jose.** •mr Without smr«r Dave strode out of the room. H was back before his prisoner could do more than wrench at his bonds, and with him he brought his lariat and his- canteen. "What are yon gain* to d o r Jos* inquired, backing sway until h* was more t t bay. Tn\ going to five yon a drink." "TOdssyf To* think-yon can make OM drnnkr Th* horn breaker laughed loudly but nneasQy. "Not whisky; water. I'm going to give you a drink of water." "What capers!" "When you've drunk enough you'll tell me why you killed your employer and where General Longorio has taken his wife. Yea, and everything else I want to know." Seizing the amazed Mexican, Dave flung him upon Morales' hard board bench, and in spite of the fellow's struggles deftljy made him fast When he lutd finished—and It was no easy job—Jose lay "spreadeagled" upon his back, his wrists and ankles firmly bound to the corners and foot posts, his body secured by a tight loop over his waist The rope cut painfully and brought a curse from the prisoner when he strained at it Law surveyed him with a face of stone. "I don't want to do this," he declared, "but I know your kind. I give you one more chance. Will you tell me?" Jose drew bis lips back in a snarl of rage and pain, and Dave realized that further words were useless. He felt a certain pity for-hls victim and no little admiration for his courage, but such feelings were of "small consequence as against his agonizing fears for Alaire's safety. Had he In the least doubted Jose's guilty knowledge of Longorio's intentions, Dave would have hesitated before employing the barbarous measures he had in mind, but— there was nothing else for it He pulled the canteen cork and Jammed the mouthpiece firmly tojjsose's lips. Closing the fellow's nostrils with bis free hand, he forced him to drink. Jose clenched his teeth, he tried to roll his head, he held his breath until his face grew purple and his eyes bulged. He strained like a man upon the rack. The bench creaked to his muscular contortions; the rope tightened. It was terribly cruel, this crushing of a strong will bent on resistance to the uttermost; but never was an executioner more pitiless, never did a prisoner's agony receive less consideration. The warm water spilled over Jose's face, it drenched his neck and chest; his joints creaked as he strove for freedom and tried to twist his head out of Law's iron grasp. The seconds dragged, until finally nature asserted herself. The imprisoned breath burst forth; there sounded a loud gurgling cry and a choking Inhalation. Jose's body writhed with the convulsions of drowning as the water and air were sucked into his lungs. Law was kneeling over his victim now, his weight and strength so applied that Jose had no liberty of action and could only drink, coughing and fighting for air. Somehow he managed to revive himself briefly and again shut his teeth; but a moment more and he was again retched with the furious battle for air, more desperate now than before. After a while Law freed his victim's nostrils and allowed him a partial breath, then once more crushed the mouthpiece against his lips. By and by, to relieve his torture, Jose began to drink in great noisy gulps, striving to empty the vessel. But the stomach's capacity Is limited. In time Jose felt himself bursting; the liquid began to regurgitate. This was not mere pain that he suffered, but the ultimate nightmare horror of death more awful than anything he had ever imagined. Jose would have met a bullet a knife, a lash, without flinching; flames would not have served to weaken his resolve; but this slow drowning was infinitely worse than the worst be had thought possible; he was suffocating by long, black, agonizing minutes, Every nerve and muscle of his body, every cell in bis bunting lungs, fought against the outrage in a purely physical frenzy over which his will power had no control. Nor would Insensibility com* to his relief—Law watched him too carefully for that He could not even voice his sufferings by shrieks; he could only writhe and retch and gurgle while the ropes bit into his flesh and his captor knelt upon him like a monstrous stone weight But Jose had made a better fight than he knew. The canteen.ranjlry at \ last and Law was forced to release his hold. "Will you speak V he demanded. Thinking that he had come safely through the ordeal, Jose shook' his head; he.rolled his bulging, bloodshot eyes and vomited, then managed to call God to witness his innocence. Dave went into the next room and refilled the canteen. When be reappeared with the dripping vessel Uj his hand, Jose tried to scream. But his throat waa tern and strained; the sound of his own voice frightened him. Once more the torment began. The tortured man was weaker now, and in consequence he resisted more feebly; but not until he waa less than half conscious did Law spare him to recover. Jose lay sick, frightened, inert Dave watched him without pity. The fellow's wrists were black and swollen, his lips were bleeding; he was stretched like a dumb animal upon the vivisectionist's table, and no surgeon th lance and scalpel could have shown lest emotion than did his inquisitor. Having no intention of defeating his own ends, Dave allowed his victim ample time in which to regain hla ability to suffer. Alair* Austin had been right whetf ] she said that Dave might be ruthless; and yet the man was by no mean* lacapable of compassion. At the present moment however, he considered him self simply as the Instrument by which Alaire was to be saved. His own feelings had nothing to do with the matter ; neither had the sufferings of this Mexican.' Therefore he steeled himself to prolong the agony until the murderer's stubborn spirit was worn down. Once again he put his question, and, again receiving defiance, jammed the canteen between Jose's teeth. But human nature is weak. For the first time in his life Jose Sanchez felt terror—a terror too awful to be endured— and he made the sign. He was no longer the Insolent defter, the challenger, but an Imploring wretch, whose last powers of resistance had been completely shattered. His frightened eyes were glued to that devilish vessel in which his manhood had dissolved, the fear of it made a woman of him. Slowly, in sighs and whimpers, in agonies of reluctance, his story came; his words were rendered almost Incomprehensible by hla abysmal fright When he had purged himself of hla secret Dave promptly unbound him; then leaving him more than half dead, he went to the telephone which connected the pumping station with Las Palmas and called up the ranch. He was surprised when Blaze Jonea answered. Blaze, It seemed, had just arrived, summoned by news of the tragedy. The countryside had been alarmed and a search for Ed Austin's slayer was being organized. "Call it off," I>ave told him. Tve got your man." Blaze stuttered his surprise and incredulity. "I mean It It's Jose Sanchez, and he has confessed. I want you to come here, quick; and come alone, if you don't mind. I need your help." Inside of ten minutes Jones piloted his automobile into the clearing beside the river, and, leaving his motor running, leaped from the car. Dave met him at the door of the Morales house and briefly told him the story of Jose's capture. "Say! That's quick work," the rancher cried, admiringly. "Why, Ed ain't cold yet 1 You gave him the •water- cure/ eh? Now I reckoned it would take more than water to make a Mexican talk." "Jose was hired for the work; he laid for Ed Austin In the pecan grove and shot him as he passed." "Hired! Why thiB hombre need* quick hangin'. don't he? I told 'era at Las Palmas that you'd rounded up the guilty party, so I reckon they'll be here in a few minutes. We'll just stretch this horse-wrangler, and save the county some expense." Law shrugged. "Do what you like with him, but—It isn't necessary. He'll confess In regulation form, I'm sure. I had to work fast to learn what became of Mrs. Austin." "Miz Austin? What's happened to her?" Dave's voice changed; there was a sudden quickening of his words. "They've got her, Blaze. They waited until they had her safe before they killed Ed." "'They?' Who are you talkln' about?" "I mean Longorio and his outfit He's got her over yonder." Dave flung out a trembling hand toward the river. Seeing that his hearer failed to comprehend, he explained, swiftly: "He'i crazy about heir—got one of those Mexican Infatuations—and you know what that means. He couldn't steal her from Las Palmas—she wouldn't have anything to do with him—so bt used that old cattle deal aa an excuse to get her across the border. Then he put Ed out of the way. She went of her own accord, and she didn't tell Austin, because they were having trouble. She's gone to La Feria, Blase." "La Feria! Then she's In for it" Dave nodded his agreement; for the first time Blaze noted how white and •set was his friend's face. "Longorio must have foreseen what was coming," Dave went on. "That country's aflame; Americans aren't safe over there. If war is declared, a good many of them will never be heart from. He knows that He's got hesafe. She can't get out" Blaze was very grave when next h« spoke. TJ&ve, this is bad—bad. 1 can't understand what made her go, Why, she most have been out of her head. But we've got to do something We've got to burn the wires to Washington— yea, and to Mexico City. We must get the government to send soldiers after her. What have we got 'em for, anyhow?** "Washington won't do anything. What can be done when there are thousands of American women in the same danger? What steps can the government take with diplomatic relations suspended? Those greasers are fillini their jails with our people~roundittf 'em np for the day of the big break f No, Longorio aaw it all comlnt—4»*i no foot He's got her; she's in th trapped."

HAD SUFFERED TORTURE Well and Strong Again After Taking Tan lac and Weight Mere Than She Mas in Over Eighteen Year*, "" "I was down in bed and couldn't raise my head or move without help and now I'm able to do all my housework, even to my cooking and garden work and I weigh more than I have In eighteen years and have been taking Tanlac only about four weeks," said Mrs. DolUe Hawkins, 4906 Second avenue, South, Birmingham, Ala., recentn "For years," continued Mrs. Hawkins, "I suffered with rheumatism and acute Indigestion. The rheumatism got me down in bed and had me bound so hard and fast somebody had to move me about and the pain was terrible. I couldn't lift my six-months-old baby, and had to hire someone to wait on me and do my work. I was so nervous the least little thing dropping on the floor would startle me and my heart would almost stop beating. I couldn't eat any solid food at all and was in such run-down condition my baby fell off until it was just a little skeleton and fretted and cried all the time. No kind of medicine did me any good and I was getting worse all the time. "If ever a medicine did wonders, Tanlac did it for me and my little baby. I felt better in Just a few days after I began taking it. I have taken three bottles and I am not nervous in the least now and my sleep is fine and rests me. The awful rheumatic pains and misery is all gone. I can eat anything I want and my food not only gives me nourishment but my baby is as fat as a little pig and sits for hours at a time on a pallet and plays without a* whimper. Tanlac has made a well woman of me and a fat, healthy baby out of my little sickly one, and I'm Just so thankful for what Tanlac has done for us I want everybody to know about this great medicine."

This notification was contained In the formal order Issued by the president calling for 687,000 men under the selective conscription law to make up the national army. The only steps now remaining are distribution by the governors of state quotas among the local exemption districts and the great lottery, which probably will be held next week and which will establish the order in which registrants are to present themselves for service or exemption. The men summoned for service will be used to fill the regular army and National Guard to war strength and to organize the first 500,000 of the new national army. Total to Be 1,262,988. The total of these three forces will be 1*262,985 men. Later another 500,000 will be called out, supplemented by sufficient men to make up losses and maintain reserve battalions. Following is Secretary of War Baker's announcement of the order: "By virtue of the authority vested in him by an act of congress, entitled 'An Act to Authorize the President to Increase Temporarily the Military Establishment of the United States,' approved May 13, 1917, the president of the United -States has ordered the aggregate number of 687,000 men to be raised by draft for the military service of the United. States in order tb bring to full strength the organisations of the regular army and the organisations embodying the memb a n of the National Guard drafted into the military service of the United States and to create the national army, and has caused said number to be apportioned to the eral states and territories and the District of Columbia a« ant forth in theschedmle hereto appended. cate to each local board established In such state, territory or district notice of the net quota to be furnished by such board, and such net quotas shall thereupon be furnished by the respective local boards as required by said act of congress and rules and regulations prescribed pursuant thereto." In computing the number of men to be required from the various Btates the government put to the credit of each state every man it now has in the National Guard and every man it has contributed since April 1 as a war volunteer to the regular army. ' Computation Method. Placing on the debit side of the ledger the national army of 500,000, the entire National Guard at war strength and the number of war volunteers needed on April 1 last, to bring the regulars up to the war strength, the grand total was apportioned according to population. This gave a gross quota for each state, from which a net quota was computed by checking off the number of National Guardsmen available for federal service and the number of men given by the state to the regular army since April 1. The apportionment was made on the basis of an estimated grand total for the United States and Its possessions of 105386,056 inhabitants. This is a paper estimate, computed from registration returns, which comes within the law requiring distribution of quotas by population, but which equalises in a great measure the burden that is to fall upon the 4,559 exemption districts. Total of 1,152386. Bach will furnish under this apportionment the men its total registration would indicate as a fair proportion, rather than the number the actual population of the district would indicate.

There is only one way to maintain high wages, and that is by increasing the efficiency of Industry. We have to convince our own people of the ad vantages of large scale, economical production, and we have to satisfy our wage-earners that they are Interested not in restricting production, but in Increasing production, They must be brought to see not only that wages are dependent upon production, but that an increasing supply of all the comforts of life for the masses of the people is dependent upon it"—Industrial Conservation, N.

The dairyfhg department of the N e w Jersey agricultural experiment station* recommends that the dairy farmer should remember Jo give his cows a rest of six weeks or more before they freshen. Some cows may maintain a good flow of iailkfright up to calving time, and in such cases the dairyman hesitates to dry them off for a rest period of several weeks. This should be done, however, and the cow well fed so that she will be in good flesh when she freshens. The work of producing a heavy yield of milk for ten months or a year is a severe drain upon the cow's strength and vitality, and a period of rest should be givttn her to recuperate and prepare for a n o t h e r lactation period. If she finishes her milkinvpperiod quite thin in llesh, she should lie given a longer dry period and nioic liberally fed.

A Fighting Bishop. On one occasion Bis bop Selwyn was going down the river Walkato with a Maori when the latter, who was very lazy, left off paddling the canoe, at the same time muttering that if Selwyn were not a bishop he would—well, "go for him." In a moment the bishop told the man to turn the canoe ashore, where, stripping himself of everything episcopal,' he said, pointing to his robes, etc.; "The bishop lies there; the m a n is here. I a m quite ready. Come on." The Maori did not "come on," however, but quietly resumed his work without another murmur.—Londo& Tit- Bits.

MILK AND BUTTERFAT FEEDS Utilize Every Possible Morsel of Food —Teeth and Stomach Wear Out First in Cow. For a considerable period before the dairy cow is due to freshen It Is best to feed highly nutritious feeds. About 00 d a y s before the time for parturition t h e cow should be dried off. It is necessary t h a t , this be dune carefully, as old milk reft In the udder may lend to garget or other Ills. , r'or the drying-off process the Pennsylvania experiment station recommend* decreasing the sMage to about L'O pounds and the grain to four pounds daily. Xo ehang-e is necessary in the anpniivt of hay fed. After the cow is dry the grain ration is resumed and the a m o u n t ' of grain increased gradnallv until the week lust previous to freshening. The grain rution^ought to be laxative in character, highly nutritious and palatable. During the last week the cow should be placed in a box stall and her grain lessened. Equal parts of wheat bran and ground oats or chop with alfalfa h a y and mangels Is recommended as a good ration to feed at this time. After parturition the cow should not be milked until the second day, except by the calf, unless, as is the practice of some dairymen, the calf is removed at once. For several days the cow should be allowed only tepid water. For feed, good clover hay, mangels and bran and oats are probably best until her system becomes normal again. By the third day the cow may be returned to her stall.

The Original Fruit Canners, We are indebted to Pompeii for the great i n d u s t r y of canned fruit. Years ago, when the excavations were just beginning, a party of Cincinuatians found in what had been the pantry of a house many jars of preserved figs. One was opened, and they were found to be fresh and good. Investigation showed that the figs had been put into jars in a heated state, an aperture left for the steam to escape and then sealed with wax. The hint was taken, and the next year fruit canning was Introduced into the United States, the process being identical with that in vogue at Pompeii twenty centuries ago. —Exchange. Snow In the Bible. The historical books of the Bible contain only two notices of snow actually falling, II fcaniuel xxiil, 20, and I Maccabees xili, 22, but the allusions to snow are numerous iu the poetical books. At Jerusalem snow often falls to the depth of a foot or more In January and February, but it seldom lies. At Nazareth it falls more frequently and deeper. A tree that is. 100 feet high is used as a wireless station mast in a Central American city.

Every possible morsel of food fed to dairy cows should be utilized for the production of milk and butterfat. The teeth and the stomach a r e the two organs of a cow which w e a r out first, especially the former. This is caused in great p a r t by the cow having .to eat hard dry imground grain. There is an old saying, "No chain is stronger than its weakest link." With t h e dairy cow also this holds true. When one organ of digestion wears out, then the whole cow is useless. A good dairy cow should be kept as long as possible, and if she is properly fed and cared for, she will be useful for about fifteen years. Some give a nice mess of milk at the age of twenty years. Milk and cream are perishable products and every possible precaution should be taken at the farm and in the home to keep these products wholecome. In the fall with the cooler weather, there exists an opinion that ice or other methods of cooling milk and cream is unnecessary to have these products remain sweet In cold weather, says Prof. V. R. Jones of the South Dakota department of dairy husbandry. This is a false assumption. .Special precautions to see that these dairy products are cooled immediately after drawn and kept cold until deliv- ?ry a r e important. Milk and cream will contain germs or (lactic acid) bacteria no matter how careful we are iu Its production. The bacteria that cause milk to sour multiply very rapidly at moderately high t e m p e r a t u r e s (70-80 degrees F.) If the milk or' cream is cooled to 50 degrees F. or less, the growth of these germs is held in check and these food products remain sweet for a longer period. If t h e dairy farmer does his duty in properly cooling milk and cream at the farm, either with ice or cold running water, and the s a m e precautions are t a k e n in the home, there will be less trouble with sour milk and cream.

Pinckney, Livingston County,JMichi^an, Thursday, July 12th, 19T7 No 28 How to Treat Potatoes For Blight Beginning when the planta are 6 to 8 inches tall, apray about every two weeks with Bordeaux mixture. Warm muggy weather requires more frequent spraying than dry weather as it is more favorable to the development of the disease. Make Bordeaux as follows: Dissolve four pounds of copper sulphate in two or three gallons of hot water and add water to make 25 gallons. Do Bet use iron or tin dishes as they will be ruined. A wooden pail is good. Slack about four pounds of lime into a thin paste and add water to make 25 gallons. Pour these two mixtures together into a third barrel and you have 50 gallons of Bordeaux mixture. If the lime haa not entirely neutralized the copper sulphate, the copper sulphate, the Bordeaux will burn the foliage and in order to avoid this injury it is safest to test it before using with potassium ferro-cyanide. Ten cents worth of this drug dissolved in water -and kept in a small bottle will be enough to use throughout the season. Pour a few drops of this solution into the Bordeaux and if a reddish brown color ap pears more lime must be added. If there is no discoloration enough lime has been added and the Bordeaux is ready for use. The potassium ferrocyanide is extremely poisonous and should be put away carefully. It is best to strain the Bordeaux mixture through a brass wire strainer before putting it into the spray barrel so as to remove the coarse particles of lime^ that might clog the pump o nozzle. If it is desired to treat for11 bugs at the same time, add the poison at the rate of one-half pound of paris green or two pounds of lead arsenate to 50 gallons of Bordeaux mixture, and save going over the field an extra time. Make the paria green or lead arsenate into a thin paste with water before adding it to the Bordeaux and it will mix more readily.—Liv. Co. Farm Bureau. a a?

C H A P T E R XVII.—Continued. —17— A litrle later Puioiua, pale and heavyeyed, stole into the room, and Dave's cheerful greeting awoke Mrs. Struuge with a jerk. "So! You're feeling better, aren't you?" the latter woman cried, heartily. "Yes. How did I get here?" Dave asked. "I must have been right sick and troublesome to you." Palorna smiled and nodded. "Sick I Why, Dave, you frightened us nearly to death .' You were clear out of your head." Mrs. Strange broke into his frowning meditation to ask, "How long since you had a night's sleep?" "I— Oh, the prosecutor at Brownsville ain't let me alone a minute for a week." "Umph ! I thought so. You puzzled that pill-roller, but doctors don't know anything, anyhow. Why, he wanted to wake you up to find out what ailed you ! I threatened to acald him If he did." "I seem to remember talking a good deal," Dave ventured. "I reckon I— said a lot of foolish things." He caught the look that passed between his nurses and its significance distressed him. Mrs. Strange continued: "That's how we guessed what your trouble was, and that's why I wouldn't let that fool doctor disturb you. Now that you've had a sleep and are all right again, I'm going home and change my clothes. I haven't had them off for two nights." "Two nights!" Dave stared in bewilderment. Then he lamely apologized for the trouble he had caused, and tried to thank the women for their kindness. He was shaky when, an hour later, he came downstairs for breakfast; but otherwise he felt better than for many days; and Blaze's open delight at seeing him did him as much good as the food he ate. Dave spent part of the morning sunning himself on the porch, reading the papers with their exciting news. During his absence Palorna had done her best to spoil Montrosa, and among other murks of favor had allowed her free run of the yard, where the shade was cool and the grass fine, and where delicious tidbits were to be had from the kitchen for the mere asking. In consequence, Dave did not remain there long tmtll he was discovered. Montrosa signaled, then trotted toward him •with ears and tall lifted. Her delight was open and extravagant; her welcome was as enthusiastic as a horse could make it. Gone were her coquetry and airs; she nosed and nibbled Dave; she rubbed and rooted him with the violence of a battering-ram, and permittee! him to hug her and murmur words of love Into her velvet ears. She swnpped confidence for confidence, too; and then, when he finally walked hack toward the house, she followed closely, as If fearful that he might again desert her. Phil Strange met the lovers as they turned the corner of the porch, and warm ly shook Dave's hand. "Teeny— my wife—told me you was better," he began, "so I beat It out here, I hung around all day yesterday, waiting to see you, but you was batty." "I was pretty sick," Dave acknowledged. "Mrs. Strange was mighty kind to roe." "Sick people get her goat She's got t way with 'em andwlth animals, too. Why, Rajah, the big python with our show, took sick one year, and he'd have died sure only for her. Same with a lot of the other animals. Shu knows more'n any vet I ever saw." "Perhaps I needed a veterinary instead of a doctor," Dave smiled. "I guess I've got some horse blood in me. See!" Montrosa had thrust her head under his arm and was waiting for him to scratch her ears, "Well, I brought you some mail," Strange fumbled In his pocket for > small bundle of letters, explalolu^. "Blase gave me these for you as 1 passed tbe post office." Dave took the letters with a word of than**, and thrust them carelessly into his pocket. "What seems to be tbe trouble 7* be inquired.

Phil watched his friend saddle the bay mare, theu as Dave tied his rifle scabbard to lta thong he laughed nervously. "You're loaded for bear."

Phil nodded, and his sallow face puckered with apprehension. "Rosa Morales has been to see me regular." Dave passed an uncertain hand over his forehead. "I'm not in very good shape to tackle a new proposition, but —what is it?" "We've got to get Mrs. Austin away from here." "We? Why?" "If we don't they'll steal her." "Steal her?" Dave's amazement was patent. "Are "you crazy?" "Sometimes l think I am, but I've pumped that Morales girl dry, and I can't figure anything else out of what she tells me. Her and Jose expect to make a lump of quick money, jump to Mexico, get married, and live happy ever after. Take it from me, It's Mrs. Austin they aim to cash in on." .^ "Why—the idea's ridiculous!" "Maybe it is and maybe it ain't," the fortune-teller persisted. "More than one rich Mexican has been grabbed and held for ransom along this river; yes, and Americans, too, if you can believe the stories. Anything goes In that country over there." "You think Jose is planning to kidnap her? Nonsense 1 One man couldn't do such a thing." "I didn't say he could," Phil defended himself, sulkily. "Remember, I told you there was somebody back of him." "Yes, I remember, but you didn't know exactly who." "Well, I don't exactly know yet I thought maybe you might tell me." There was a brief silence, during which Dave stood frowning. Then he appeared to shake himself free from Phil's suggestions. "It's too utterly preposterous. Mrs. Austin has no enemies; she's a person of importance. If by any chance she disappeared—" "She's done that very little thing," Strange declared. "What?" "She's disappeared—anyhow, she's gone. Yesterday when I saw you was laid up and couldn't help me, I phoned her ranch; somebody answered In Spanish, and from what I could make out they don't know where she Is." Dave wondered If he nad understood Strange aright, or if this could be a trick of his own tired brain. Choosing his words carefully, he said: "Do you mean to tell me that she's missing and they haven't given an alarm? I reckon you didn't understand the message, did you?" Strange shrugged. "Maybe I didn't Suppose you try. You sabe the lingo." Dave went to the telephone, leaving Phil to wait. When he emerged from the house a few moments later, It was with a queer, set look upon his face. "I got 'em," he said. "She's g o n e - left three days ago." "Where did she go?" "They wouldn't tell me." "They wouldn't?" Strange looked up sharply. "Wouldn't or couldn't" The men eyed each other silently; then Phil inquired : "Well, what do you make of it?" "I don't know. She wasn't kidnaped, that's a cinch, for Dolores went with her. I—think we're exciting ourselves unduly." The little fortune-teller broke out excitedly: "Yes we are 1 Why do you suppose I've been playing that Morales girl? I tell you there's something crooked going on. Don't I know? Didn't I wise you three weeks ago that something like this was coming off?" It was plain that Phil put complete faith In his powers of divination, and at this moment his earnestness carried a certain degree of conviction. Dave made on effort to clear his tired brain. "Very well," he said. "If you're so sure, ril go to Las Palmas. m find out all about it, and where she went. If anybody has dared to—" He drew a deep breath and his Ustlessness vanished ; his eyes gleamed with a hint of their customary fire. "I reckon Pre got one punch left in me." He turned and strode to his room. As Dave changed into his service clothes he was surprised to feel a new vigor in his limbs and a new strength*) of purpose In his mind. When he stood in his old boots and felt the familiar drag of his cartridge-belt, when he tested his free muscles, he realised that he was another man. Even yet be' could not put much faith la Phil Strange's words nerertheleaa, there C H A P T E R X V I I I . A Surprise. Law found it good to feel a horse between his knees. lie had not realized until now how long Montrosa's saddle had been empty. The sun was hot and friendly, the breeze was sweet in his nostrils as he swept past the smiling fields and out into the mesquite country. Heat waves danced above the patches of bare ground; Insects sang noisily from every side; far ahead the road ran a, wavering course through a deceitful mirage of rippling ponds. It was all familiar, pleasant; it was home. With every mile he covered his strength and courage increased. Such changes had come into his life since his last visit to Las Palmas that it gave him a feeling of unreality to discover no • alteration in the ranch. He had somehow felt that the buildings would look older, that the trees would have grown taller, and so when he finally came in sight of his destination he reined in to look. Behind him he heard the hum of an approaching motor, and he turned to behold a car racing along the road he had just traveled. The machine was running fast, as a long streamer of choking dust gave evidence, and Dave soon recognized It as belonging to Jonesville's prosecuting attorney. As it tore past him its owner shouted something, but the words were lost. In the automobile with the driver were several passengers, and one of these likewise called to Dave and seemed to motion him to follow. When the machine slowed down a half-mile ahead and veered abruptly Into the Las Palmas gateway, Dave lifted Montrosa to a run, wondering what pressing necessity could have induced the prosecuting attorney to risk such a reckless burst of speed. Dave told himself that he was unduly apprehensive; that Strange's warnings had worked upon his nerves. Nevertheless, he continued to ride so hard that almost before the dust had settled he, too, turned Into the shade of the palms. Yes, there was excitement here; something was evidently very much amiss, judging from the groups of ranch-hands assembled upon the porch. They were clustered about the doors and windows, peering in. Briefly they turned their faces toward Law; then they crowded closer, and he perceived that they were not talking. Some of them had removed their hats and held them In their hands. Dave's knees shook under him as he dismounted; for one sick, giddy instant the scene -swam before his eyes; then he'ran toward the house and up the steps. He tried to frame a question, but his lips were stiff with fright. Heedless of those in his path, he forced his way into the house, then down the hall toward an open door, through which he saw a room full of people. From somewhere came the shrill wailing of a woman; the house was full of hushed voices and whisperings. Dave had but one thought From the depths of his being a voice called Alalre's name until his brain rang with it A bed was in the room, and around it was gathered a group of white-faced people. With rough hands Law cleared a way for himself, and then stopped, frozen in his tracks. His arms relaxed, his fingers unclenched, a great sigh whistled from his lungs. Before him, booted, spurred, and fully dressed, lay the dead body of Ed Austin. Dave was stitl staring at the master of Las Palmas when the prosecuting attorney spoke to him. "God! This is terrible, isn't It?" he said. "He must have died Instantly." "Who—did i t ? ' "We don't know y e t Benito found him and brought him in. He hasn't been dead an hour." Law ran his eyes over the room, and then asked, sharply, "Where is Mrs. Austin?" He was answered by Benito Gonzales, who had edged closer. "She's not here, senor." "Have you notified her?" Benito shrugged. "There has been no time, it all happened so quickly—" Someone interrupted, and Dave saw that it was the local sheriff—evidently It was he who had waved from the speeding machine a few moments before. *Tm glad you're here, Dave, for you can give me a hand. Tm going to round up these Mexicans right away and find out what they know. Whoever did it hasn't gone far; so yon act as my deputy and see what you can learn." When Dave had gained better control of himself be took Benito outdoors and demanded fall details of the tragedy. With many lamentations and lncoherencies the ruage boss told whut he knew. Ed had met his death within a halfmile of Las Palmas as he rode home for dinner. Benito, himself on his way to the house, had found the body, still warm, near the edge of the pecan grove. He had retained enough sense to telephone at once to Jonesvllle, and then—Benito hardly knew whut he had done since theu, he was so badly shaken by the tragedy. "What time did it happen?" "It was noon when I came in." Dave consulted his watch, and was surprised to discover that It was now only a few minutes past one. It was evident, therefore, that Benito had indeed lost no time, and that his alarm had met with instant response. "Now tell me, who did it?" Benito flung his hands high. "God knows! Some enemy, of course; but Don Eduardo had many." "Not that sort of enemies. There was nobody who could wish to kill him." "That is as it is." "Haven't you any suspicions?" "No, senor." "You say Mrs. Austin is gone?" "Yes." "Where?" "I don't know." Dave spoke brusquely : "Come, Benito ; you must know, for your wife went with her. Are you trying to keep something back?" "No, no! As God is my Judge!" Benito declared. "I didn't know they were going until the very last, and even then Dolores would tell me nothing. We were having bad times here at Las Palmas; there were stormy scenes yonder in the house. Senor Ed was drinking again, you understand? The senora had reason to go." "You think she ran away to escape him?" "Exactly." Dave breathed more easily, for this seemed to settle Strange's theory. The next instant, however, his apprehensions were doubled, for Benito added: "No doubt she went to La Feria." Law uttered an incredulous exclamation. "Not there! Surely she wouldn't go to La Ferla at such a time. Why, that country is ablaze. Americans are fleeing from Mexico*" "I hadn't thought of that," Benito confessed. "But if she didn't go there, where did she go? Saints above! It Is a fine condition of affairs wh^n a wife keeps secrets from her husband. | eh? I suppose Dolores feared I would tell Don Eduardo, God rest his soul! This much I do know, however; not long ago there came a letter from General Lougorio, offering settlement for those cattle he stole in his government's name. Dolores told ^ne the senora was highly pleased and was going to Mexico for her money. It was a mark of Longorlo's favor, you understand me? He's a 'great—friend, an ardent admirer." Benito winked. "Dolores told me all about that, too. No, I think they went to La Feria." Dave remembered his first conversation with Phil Strange and the fortuneteller's insistence that some powerful person was behind Jose Sanchez. More than three weeks ago Strange had forecast something very like this murder of Ed Austin. Dave felt as If he were the victim of an hysterical imagination. Nevertheless, he forced himself to ask. quietly: "Is Jose Sanchez anywhere about F* The range boss shrugged. "I sent him to the east pasture this morning." "Did he go?" "Eh? So! You suspect Jose of this. God in heaven! Jose is a wild boy— But wait! I'll ask Juan if he saw him; yes, and Victoria, too. That is Victoria you hear squalling in the kitchen. Wait here." Benito hurried away, leaving Dave a prey to perplexity; but he was back again In a few moments. His face was grave. "Jose did not go to the east pas* ture," he said. "Where is he now?" "No one seems to know." Law walked to his horse, mounted, and galloped away. Benito, who watched him. saw that he turned toward the river road which led to the1 Las Palmas pumping plant The more Dave thought about B Austin's death, the more certain he became that it was in some way connected with Alaire's disappearance; and the loose end by which the tangle might be unraveled, it seemed to him, lay in the hands of Rosa Morales, Jose's sweetheart. That Sanche2 was the murderer Dave now had little doubt; but since the chance of apprehending him was small, he turned his attention to the girl. He would make Rosa speak, he told himself, if he had to use force—this was no time for gentle methods. If she knew aught of Alalre's whereabouts or the mystery of her departure from Las Palmas, he would find a way to wring the truth from her. Dave's face, a trifle too somber at all times, took on a grimmer aspect now; be felt a slow fury kind* ling ta his breast. (TO BH CONTINUED.) Valley ef Humiliation.

FIGURES ARE ASTONISHING Peoplo of Prominence and Unquestioned Integrity Tell What Celebrated Medicine Has Done for Them. ONE of the most noteworthy features In -connection with Tunlac and the one that stands out more prominently than any other, perhaps, is the very large number of well-known men and women from all parts of the South who have recently reported astonishing and rapid Increases in weight as a result of its use. When so many well-known people of unquestioned integrity make statement after statement, each corroborating the other, the truth of such statements can no longer be doubted.' Thousands have testified that this famous medicine has completely restored them to health and strength, after every other medicine and the most skilled medical treatment have failed. One of the most remarkable cases on record Is that of Mrs. Viola Ives, of 315 Cross street, Little Rock, Ark., whose statement appears below. "In May of 1913," said Mrs. Ives, "I suffered a complete breakdown of my nerves and my entire system gave way. About six weeks afterwarfis I was carried to the hospital. I became perfectly helpless—couldn't move any part of my body and Just lay there in bed for five months, not knowing anything or anybody. I was brought home In October, 1913, and tried all kinds of medicine and everything I was told about. "I read about so many people getting relief by taking Tanlac and my husband got me a bottle. After taking three bottles I began to feel better. I have taken several bottles of Tanlac now and I can walk anywhere and sleep like a child. When I took my first dose of Tanlac I weighed only one hundred and twenty-two pounds. I now weigh one hundred and sixtytwo— an actual gain of forty pounds since I started on Tanlac." Texas Man Testifies. Another remarkable case was that of John M. Crabtree, a general merchant at Five Mile Station A, Dallas, Tex. "I have actually gained thirty-four pounds on three bottles of Tanlac and I now know what It is to enjoy good health after suffering for twenty years," said Mr. Crabtree. "I suffered with catarrh of the stomach and indigestion for twenty years and for eighteen months, before I started taking Tanlac, I had to live almost entirely on cereals. I spent nearly all of one whole year In bed and was unable to do anything at all and I fell off In weight to 118 pounds. "After using my third bottle of Tanlac I found I had Increased In weight from 118 pounds to 152 pounds, making an actual gain of thirty-four pounds—all my troubles were gone, and I was feeling like another man." Captain Jeff D. Riggs, popular Y. & M. V. engineer, running between Vlcksburg and New Orleans and residing at 2020 Pearl Street, Vicksburg, in speaking of his experience with Tanlac, . ( M PEDEN 27 WAS TWICE EXAMINED AND TOLD OPERATION WOULD BE HER ONLY HOPE. ««¥HAVE just finished my third bot- 1 tie of Tanlac and have gained twenty-seven pounds," was the truly remarkable statement made by Mrs. Charles Peden, residing at 55 Mill street, Huntsville, Ala. "When I commenced taking the medicine," she continued, "I only weighed ninety-eight (98) pounds; now I weigh 125 pounds, and never felt better in my life. For years I have suffered with a bad form of stomach trouble, constipation and pains in my side and back. At times the pains took the form of torture, and I was twice examined and each time I was fcpld that I had appendicitis and that an operation would be my only hope. •T had m a l e all preparations for the operation and called in my sister to tell her good-by, as I did not know whether I would live to see her again or not. My sister begged and pleaded with me not to allow them to cut on me and told me to wait and try a good tonic for awhile. The next day, as I returned from the consultation room, I thought of what she said, and as I had heard so much about Tanlac, I decided to try It and got a bottle." "I never returned for the operation, but Just kept taking the Tanlac. Right from the start I began to feel better. The medicine seemed fo take hold right at once. r "I was so happy over the wonderful improvement In my condition that I sent for my neighbors to tell them how much better I felt. I sent and got another bottle of Tanlac, and have just finished Wklng my third bottle and feel as if I have been made all over again Into a new woman. said: "Yes, sir, it's an actual fact, I have gained twenty-five pounds on Tanlac." "When I began taking the medicine," continued Captain Rlggs, "I was simply a nervous and physical wreck and had dropped down In weight from one hundred and forty to one hundred and ten pounds. "I have just finished my second bottle of Tanlac, have gained twentyfive pounds and I feel like a new man." Old-Time Engineer Talks. Engineer Chas. J.

"For twenty years I suffered with nervous Indigestion of the worst sort," he continued, "and at times during the past fifteen years I didn't think I would last much longer.

Mirtreit ONE BEA1 T3 aivd Shrub Their Care and GiMvatioiv Young America Doing His Bit. WHEN A GREAT CITY GOES A-FARMING. By ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN. There Is something Intensely interesting to the farmer of the districts where fields are considered in terms of acres, in the picture of the city man, under stress of war necessity, or fear, dropping the stock ticker for the spade. One involuntarily closes the eyes and visualizes Edwin Markham's great picture of "The Man -With the Hoe." The figure Is not bowed by the weight of centuries. A silk hat takes the place of the wool sombrero, a frock coat the place of the overalls. And yet the underlying motive is all the same. it Is the necessity of getting Old Mother Earth to yield food for her children. I have frequently told my readers of the wonderful flower gardens that skirt the palaces of Long Island and of the Jersey coast. Surely nothing half so costly and artistic can be found either in fairy lore or actual development. Now the garden Is being deserted for the truck patch, and the potato is of more import than the rose. All of the fashionable world, Its wife and its son and Its daughter, have gone a-farming. From the pathetic little window box, In which city dwellers are experimenting with seeds on window-ledges high above the surging street throngs, to the most scientific and elaborate truck patches In the Long Island and Jersey districts, the cabbage has come to attract more attention than the prize chrysanthemum, and the prospect for onions is more alluring than the hope of making a tulip bed that will be the Jealous pride of the owner. Prominent in the movement to teach the residents of the metropolitan district how to farm is Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, Jr. She is working through the suburban districts at the head of a committee of rich women, using a special train. They are teaching the women along the line to preserve and can and save food products to relieve the war-made conditions. What the men and women of the West and of the South have been learning for 30 years in the atate-supported agricultural colleges is now being taught to the city dwellers and the suburbanite, and they are taking to the study with a zest that would lead one to believe that scientific farming was a discovery of the last four months. True, they haven't got along far enough to consider the chemical analysis of the soil and the scientific determination of the elements needed to make It fruitful, but they are learning the elementary points rapidly. New York city requires every day an endless procession of freight trains to supply It with food. Most of the supply has In the past come from farms comparatively remote from the city.. Now the newly promoted movement is resulting In planting truck at the hack door, with the automobile for speedy transportation along the excellent roads to the great market centers. There is coming from this activity one great national benefit that is not generally considered. Political leaders from the congested districts, who have large voice in congressional and legislative matters, are getting new light upon the dignity and the Importance of agriculture that will send valuable aid behind "the coming legislation for the protection of the gardener and the farmer, and will put behind the department of agriculture representatives of grea't wealth, with a newly born sympathy and understanding that have never existed In this country before. Many a statesman who used to wonder why an appropriation for t h e development of potatoes, or the like, was necessary in a billion-dollar budget will in future take off his hat to tiie potato and favor raising the appropriation instead of cutting it. So much, anyway, is to be gained from the mobilization of the city hoe brigade, and for that the entire farming and gardening population of the country will be duly thankful. HYDRANGEA BEAUTIFUL AND HARDY. By E. VAN BENTHUYSEN. While there are shrubs that I like better, this one seems to suit the masses, It has the merit of extreme hardiness, easy culture, great floral beauty ami is late-blooming and persistent. Its flowers early lose their whiteness, but as the season advances they take on a pinky-brown character, which Is very attractive. They will last until snow comes. Never use the hydrangeas singly. When planting plant In masses. It is vastly more effective this way. The enormous heads of the bloom have considerable weight, but they are all the more attractive when they cause the branches to take on a graceful curve. Those in search of a plant that will grow In any soil and under almost any condition, and has hardiness enough to withstand the trying ordeal of the severest northern winter, will find this hydrangea the very thing they are looking for.

Babylonia waa already peopled, and lands were needed for his Persian .troops. The Gyndee discharges 40,000 section feet and runs thirty feet deep in a sandy and mobile bed. He could build no regulator, so be dug thirty canals, divided the waters of the river among them, closed the river by an earthen dam and completely controlled it. As he could never have Induced his wild soldiers to dig these canals for any useful purpose, he took advantage of the fact that his favorite borse had been drowned In the flood and urged his soldiers to dig the canals and dissipate the waters of the river in such a fashion that it could never again drown a horse."—Detroit Free Press.

ALL EXPORTS UNDER FEDERAL CONTROL K Michigan News -" G O V E R N M E N T 18 D E T E R M I N E D TO S T O P 8 U P P L I E S R E A C H - ING C E N T R A L P O W E R S . I Washington.—President Wilson, in announcing the regulations for selecting a nationul war army from the millions registered on June 5, urged upon every member of every draft board "Impartial and fearless performance of the delicate and difficult duties Intrusted," in order that "our armies at the front may be composed of men free from sense of injustice in their mode of selection." In the near future a date will be set by Brig. Gen. Crowder, provost marfchal- general, for the meeting and organization of the boards. At the same time it is expected that the selection regulations will be promulgated so that the process may be put under way without delay. The present intention Is to call the men selected to the colors about September 1. A l l Forces on Equal Footing. President Wilson's statement foll o w s : "The regulations which I am today causing to be promulgated, pursuant to the direction of the selective service law, cover the remaining steps of the plan for calling Into the service of the United States qualified men from those who have registered ; those selected as the result of this process to constitute, with the regular army, the JVational guard and the navy, the fighting forces of the nation, all of which forces ar» under the terms of the law placed In a position of equal right, dignity and responsibility with the members of all other military forces. "The regulations have been drawn with a view to the needs and circumstances of the whore country and provide a system which It is expected will work with the least inequality and personal hardship. Any system of selecting men of military service, whether voluntary or involuntary In Its operation, necessarily selects some men to bear the burden of danger and sacrifice for the whole nation. The system here provided places all men of military age upon an even plane, and then, by a selection which neither favors the one nor penalizes the other, calls upon the requisite number for service. Urges Board* to Act Impartially. "The successful operation of this law and of these regulations depends necessarily upon the loyalty, patriotism and Justice of the members of the boards to whom Its operation is committed, and I admonish every member of every local board and of every district board of review that their duty to their country requires an Impartial find fearless performance of the delicate and difficult duties Intrusted to them. They should remember as to each Individual case presented to them that they are called upon to adjudicate the most sacred rights of the individual and to preserve untarnished the honor of the nation.. "Our armies at the front will be etrengthened and sustained If they be composed of men free from any sense W Injustice In the mode of selection, and they will he Inspired to loftier efforts In behalf of a country In which the citizens called upon to perform ihlgh public functions perform them •with justice, fearlessness and impartiality." Method* of Making the Draft ' Upon organizing the local boards •will take over from the registration boards all registration cards, which (they will number serially and list for posting to public view. Then, after having been advised of the method by which the order of liability for service jfihali be determined and of the quota t o be drawn from Its territory (minus icrsdlts for enlistments In the National Guard or regular army), each beard fwHJ prepare a list of persons deslgnatled for service In the order of their liability, post the list, give it to the press, and within three days send notice to «aeh designated person by mail. As the men so notified appear the (boards first will make a physical examination in accordance with special r e f l a t i o n s to bs provided, bearing in mind that all persons accepted by tbem •will be re-examined by army surgeons. I f the physical examination is passed successfully, then comes the question of exemption. Those Entitled to Exemption.

Man or W i f e May Make C l a i m . Claims for exemption because of dependents may be made by the man himself, his wife* or other dependents, or by a third party who has personally Investigated the case. A claim made by the husband must be accompanied by supporting affidavits signed by the wife and by the head of a family residing in the same territory. A claim by the wife or a third party must be accompanied by two supporting affidavits signed by heads of families. Similar rules govern claims on the grounds of other dependents when the dependents or third parties being authorized to file claims with supporting affidavits. In each case the board must be satisfied before It grants exemption or discharge that the dependent or dependents actually are supported mainly by the fruits of the man's mental or physical labor. Local boards are required, subject to appeal, to pass upon claims for exemption or discharge within three days after the filing of affidavits. District boards must decide appeal cases within five days after the closing of proofs and their decisions #re final. If the ruling of a local board Is affirmed the person In question stands finally accepted for military service. In passing on claims for exemption on the ground of employment In necessary industrial and agricultural occupations the district boards must be convinced that the particular enterprise affording such employment actually Is necessary to the maintenance of the military establishment of national interest during the emergency. "The evidence must also establish," the regulations say, "even If the particular industrial enterprise or particular agricultural enterprise Is found necessary for one of the above purposes, that the continuance of such person therein is necessary to the maintenance thereof and that he cannot be replaced by another person without direct, substantial material loss and detriment to the adequate and effective operation of the particular Industrial enterprise or agricultural enterprise In which he is engaged." May Oeslgnate Certain Industries. Later the president may from time to time designate certain industries or classes of industries that are necessary and the district boards will be so notified. It will be the duty of each board, however, to ascertain the available labor supply for such Industries outside the men called for military service and to take the result into consideration in determining such things. "If, In the opinion of the district board,** this section of the regulations concludes, "the direct, substantial, material loss to any such industrial or agricultural enterprise outweighs the loss that would result from failure to obtain the military service of any such person, a certificate of discharge may be issued to him X-X XT Certificates of exemption will not necessarily be permanent They may be revoked with changing conditions, or may be granted only for prescribed Washington—Government control ot American exports, authorized in a provision of the espionage act, was ordered put into operation July 15, by President Wilson, in a proclamation putting under license shipments to all countries of the most important export commodities. In a statement accompanying the proclamation, the president declared the government's policy will be first to give dsjsideratlon to American needs; next, to supply the neutral countries wherever practicable. It is made clear that every effort will be made to see that no supplies reach the central powers. Government Controls A l ! Shipping. Through control of coal and fuels the government intends to take a firm grasp on shipping. An arrangement under negotiation will give the American and British governments control of not only all Allied tonnage, but of neutral vessels as well. Primarily, the embargo was issued to check the export, of foodstuffs to neutrals adjacent to Germany. The president is determined no more sustenance shall reach enemies of the United States through these mediums. The proclamation does not mean that none of the commodities named may not be exported. They may be exported only in such quantities as: K To relieve the stringency and high prices In our own country. (2. To effectually prevent neutrals from sending any possible surplus Into Germany. 3. To-provide, so far as possible, an equal distribution of the food, fuel and iron supplies among the allied nations. The first effect of the proclamation will be the immediate organization in London of the buyfhg council of the Allies. Once established, this council will proceed with the purchase of wheat through one central agency and its allotment to all the countries of the world outside the central powers. The council immediately will establish an agency In the United States for the purchase of our wheat.

London—A dispatch from Pekin announcing the abdication of Tsuan Tung the young emperor, who was put back on the throne by General Chang Hsun, is corroborated by a cablegram received Saturday from Reuter's correspondent there. It appears that General Chflng Hsun, depressed by the failure of his attempt to restore the monarchy tendered his resignation to the emperor, who thereupon Issued an edict announcing his abdication. The abdication ot Hsuan Tung, who was placed on the throne only a week ago, it is Indicated by press dispatches received here from Pekin, followed upon the defeat of the Imperialistic forces by republican troops at Lang Fang, south of Pekin, and the desertion of many of Chang Hsun's soldiers. TAX CLERK DEFAULTS $16,000 W a y n e County Treasury Employe Appropriates Mortgage Tax Funds. Detroit—An amazing story of how a clerk in the county treasurer's office got away with more than $16,000 of tax funds without even arousing suspicion against himself, and while on a salary of $1,500 a year piled up a fortune of $80,000, came to light Saturday night when the board of county auditors announced an agreement with Anthony J. Kloka, former mortgage tax deputy. For the auditors, Charles A. Buhrer said that Kloka had acknowledged a shortage of $16,402, and that he had put up in cash and securities $20,347 to cover this, and any other shortages which may subsequently appear. The auditor declared that neither the county nor the state, which shares equally the mortgage tax receipts, would lose a cent from Kloka's admitted speculations. $ Tersely Told < Marietta—Helen D.

It is believed Dr. James T. Case, captain of the company, now en route, will be made the head of this unit which will include 250 men and 50 women. Dr. Case was one of the chief surgeons of the local sanitarium. Muskegon—To aid in the nationwide campaign to raise a fund among marksmen of America for the establishment of an entire ambulance unit at the front in France, the West End Gun club of Muskegon held a patriotic shoot with marksmen from Grand Rapids, Whitehall, Montague, Grand Haven, Shelby, Hart, Pentwater, Ludington and other western Michigan cities and towns taking part in the competition for honors. The proceeds of the entry fees from the event turned over to the national association, in order that an entire ambulance unit may be properly manned and equipped.

The economist whose duty it is to study the output and compare it with the consumption, sees, a rapidly creeping up of one on the other, and, when the appetite of consumption gets a headway on the output, where will the nation be? It Is time the people were aroused, for there is danger ahead unless the intelligence of the people Is awakened to the facts. The crop .of 1917 will be less than an average one, and see the work it has to perform. It has to feed the man producing it, and he is of less efficiency .today than a year ago. His strength has been reduced by the drawing away of the thousands from the 'farms, who are now in the ranks of the consumer Instead of In that of the producer. There is an inverse ratio here that c a n . only be understood when confronted with the appalling figures presented by those In charge of the conservation work. The army has to be fed, dependents cared for, the navy has to have provisions, and we cannot sit idly by and see the women and children of the countries across the sea starve. There is such a great call for active participation in the matter of providing food, that those who are left at home in charge of this work have a responsibility placed upon them fully as great as has the man at the front who has gone out to protect the homes, the sanctity and the honor of those who are left behind. The producer should think only of this; there should be economy, not only of labor. Every acre of available land should be producing. Advantage should be taken of every daylight hour. It must not be a case of how much can we make. It must be a case of "fight" with those who have gone oyerseas, but in our way, fight to win the war. Where that spirit pervades will be found the spirit of the patriotic American. There Is no difficulty in securing land In any of the states. It may be rented on easy terms or purchased at low prices, and there should be little difficulty arranging 'with bankers to get the necessary funds to carry on operations. Should you not be able to get what you want in your own state, Western Canada offers an Immense wide field for operations at the lowest possible cost, and Americans are welcomed with open arms. Homesteads of 160 acres each may be had on easy conditions, and other lands may be purchased at low prices on easy terms. The yields of all kinds of small grains are heavy. The prospects for a 1917 crop are excellent, and It looks today as If there would be as good a return aB at any time in the past, and when it is realized that there have been yields of forty and forty-five bushels of wheat over large areas this should be encouraging. Now that the two countries are allies and the cause is a common one there should be no hesitation in accepting whatever offer seems to be the best in order to increase the production so necessary, and which should it not be met, will prove a serious menace. Particulars as to Cana* dian lands, whether for purchase or homestead, may be had on application to any Canadian Government Agent.—* Advertisement, Why He Didn't Register.

N SrraDrranGr (Conducted by the National Woauui'a Christian Temperance Union ) 1 — " D E A D MAN'S H I L L " I have seen u picture inexpressibly »ad of "Dead Man's Hill in prance" with its 300,000 graves and as many 'wooden crosses. Far as eye eau reach are the figures of black shrouded women ; they bend themselves ubove the graves; they lift themselves with outstretched hands toward the unrelenting heavens. But for them there is a pitiful compensation : They have the trinkets of the Legion of Honor and the memories of heroism that will never die. Powder-blackened and disemboweled, their sons were hurled Into long trenches, but above them float the tri-color of France and the flag of the fatherland and they will live forever. I see today another dead man's hill —a hill that rises in my own land, and from this proud, imperial city. The picture of this hill is infinitely sad. Women crowd it with their forms and rover it with their lamentations and for them there is no compensation, no flag to drape above the picture, no cross of honor to press into the baby's hand, no memory but one of infamy and shame. They weep and through their tears no rainbow ever shines, for their dead have died in vain. Who speaks for these women, for these who mourn the unnumbered slain of alcohol, who- have followed their sons to the drunkard's grave and their daughters to the stake of man's alcohol-fed lust? Who speaks for them? By the blood of the Innocent and by the flag of the free, we speak for them! And we will speak, until, by the grace of God—the God of Washington, and Lincoln, and Lee—until by the grace of the Lord God of Hosts and the votes of the American people we have consummated a saloonless nation, a sober people and a stainless flag!—Daniel A. Poling. FIGURES AND FIGURES. The number of bushels of grain consumed annually in the manufacture of alcoholic beverages has been variously stated by the press, but the figure most generally used has been 600,000,000. The distillers and brewers now are calling the attention of the newspapers to the fact that they use only the trifling amount of approximately 135,000.000 bushels. The interesting point in the case is that the inflated figure, 600,000,000, originated with the liquor interests some years ago and has been used to impress the men engaged in agriculture with the immensity of the market for grains afforded by the liquor business and the calamity that would necessarily result to the farmers from prohibition. Not a word of protest was ever uttered by the liquor interests concerning the use of this figure until the war prohibition question loomed large. Then It was made to shrink in astonishing fashion. The figure now named toy the liquor Interests Is approximately the same as that which appears In W. C. T. U. literature, notably in Prof. John Nicholl's booklet, "Does It Pay?"—The Union Signal. SALOON REVENUE NOT NEEDED. After the saloons were driven out of Kansas City, Kin., the state's largest city, for the first time in 20 years that municipality made no debt for current expenses. And this without saloon revenue, as Its mayor at that time, U. S. Guyer, has recorded in a signed statement The first year the saloons were effectively suppressed in Kansas City, It Is recorded by a former attorney general of Kansas, that the cost of public prosecutions, which the public had tcr bear, fell off $25,000. Another saving of $25,000 was made by a reduction of the police force. How much was saved the merchants In the better collection of accounts, and how much was saved the people in other ways, can* not be estimated. LIQUOR LIES ANSWERED. Through the misuse of statistics, through cribbing brief statements of fact from official reports and adroitly stripping them from their qualifying clauses, the desperate saloon interest still is trying to fool the nation into believing that prohibition is harmful to Kansas, where the people voluntarily have Just added the most stringent bone-dry law in existence to keep liquor from, seeping across the state border from the outside.—Capper's Week* SAVE GRAIN FOR BREAD.

BEER AND WINE NOT AFFECTED STATE GUARD CALLED JULY 15 Michigan Troops Among First to Qo to Training Camps. Final Disposal of Dry Legislation W i l l Come After Conference Between House and Senate. Washington—The senate went on record in favor of "bone dry" national prohibition during the war so far as whisky and other distilled beverages are concerned. Liquor legislation was written into the food control bill in one of the senate's bitterest contests, which would strike at consumption of distilled intoxicants by commandeering stocks in bond in addition to prohibiting absolutely their manufacture or Importation. The beer and wine industries would be left undisturbed. In lieu of the section of the house bill to prohibit the manufacture of foodstuffs into beverages of any description, the senate substituted, 45 to 37, a provision prohibiting manufacture and importation of distilled beverages during the war, and added, 65 to 12, a further clause directing the president to take over all distilled spirits in government bonded warehouses and to pay for It on the basis of cost plus 10 per cent. Final Vote After Conference. While the final prohibition legislation will be evolved in conference between the two houses, it is generally regarded as possible that the house will accept the senate's change after a fight in behalf of the original section. The senate provision would limit consumption to stocks in retailers' hands or withdrawn before the law goes into effect. Washington—Various units of the National Guard will be called into the service July 15, July 25, and August 5 as originally planned. The Michigan guard is among those to be called July 15. ''Calling" the men into the service means they will be ordered to southern and southeastern camps on the three dates, but the "drafting" will not occur until August 5, so all officers may start on an equal footing as far as seniority is concerned. If all were drafted when called, those of July 15 would outrank officers In the subsequent drafts. AMERICAN SHIP LOSS HEAVY 8lnklng« By Submarines Increased Amazingly, Last 6 Months. SOLDIERS HUNT GIRLS SLAYER 8ixth Engineers Aid In Search for Murderer of Hope Alexander. Washington — American shipping losses due to submarine activities during the first six months of 1917 ; amounted to 11 times total losses of two previous years, Dr. William C. ', De Lanoy, chief of the United States 1 war risk insurance bureau, reports. | Since January 1, 1917, the bureau has Insured $441,761,518 of American cargoes with a loss of $9,200,000. Previous to that time the bureau had lost only $800,000 due to submarine sinki ings. Since the beginning of the war In 1914, the total salvage of vessels sunk amounted to only $59,055.87. .Millions of dollars are saved to American exporting firms every month by the bureau in insurance rates. On the $623,964,598 worth of cargoes so far Insured the rate has been a little less than 2 1-2 per cent. American insurance firms, as a rule, are refusing to Insure cargoes entering the war zone, but where they are willing to take the risk, the premium runs higher than 15 per c e n t Marine insurance rates in Great Britain run from 8 to 16 per cent while the average European rate is between 8 and 12 per cent. Up to date the bureau has not lost a dollar on the insurance of seamen and officers under the provisions of the new $50,000,000 war risk insurance bill recently passed by congress. Detroit—For the first time in the history of the state, United States troops were called out to help hunt a murderer, when Sheriff Green, of Oakland county, wired Governor Sleeper for military aid in finding the slayer of Hope Alexander, the 13-year-old girl who on the afternoon of July 4th was shot and killed by a degenerate. Ten-years-old Elizabeth Stilber was wounded by the same bullet that killed Hope Alexander. The Sixth regiment of engineers encamped at the state fair grounds, commandeered 24 automobiles and drove to the scene of the murder in Sylvan Gardens. Woods and fields in the vicinity have been literally combed by soldiers and police. Numerous suspects have been arrested. ARGENTINE THREATENS BREAK Demands Germany Make Reparation For Ships Sunk. 1,500,000 GERMANS KILLED French Estimate That Teutons Have Lost V/2 Million Men in War. Paris—The total number of Germans killed since the beginning of the war to March, 1917, is not lees than 1,500,000, according to *>n estimate reached by French general headquarters. Prom April 16 to June 30, the France-British troops on the western front captured UJtl prisoner*, SOI guns, SOS trench mortars mad M i l machine gun*. Buenos Rlres.—Argentic* has serv. ed an ultimatum on Germany. From reliable sources it has been learned that a note just dispatched to Germany virtually asserts that unless Germany makes immediate Indemnification for past destruction of Argentine ships and grants assurance against future attacks Argentine will break relations. It is stated that the Argentine note does not Include a time limit within which the republic demands Gerany's reply, but this limitation was omitted purely toecau»t ~ ^oertainty of communication with Berlin. For two weeks Argentine has been approaching the point where she was ready to break relations with Germany. The situation was caused by the sinking of the Argentine steamship Protegido. The vessel was tor., pedoed without warning and several Argentine citizens lost their lives. Germany admitted the sinking, condoned It and offered reparation, but apparently forgot all about it. Some time ago Argentine sent a "reminder," but still there wai no response. Centervtlle—A wind storm which blew sand against cornstalks did |M,0o« damage la this section it if estimated. LONDON RAIDED BY 20 GERMAN PLANES THIRTY-SEVEN PERSONS K I L L E C AND 141 INJURED BY BOMBS DROPPED. TEUTONS LOSE THREE MACHINES In Reprisal for German Air Raids, French Airplanes Bomb Towns in Interior of Germany. London—A second descent upon London by a squadron of airplanes waa made Saturday morning between 9 and 10 o'clock, when the business section waa moat crowded. Although the German contingent was larger, more daring, more deliberate in its movement and descended much lower than on the Yiait of June 13, the number of killed and wounded was, according to the first official roll, roughly one-third the previous casualty Uat. Thirty-seven were killed and 141 injured. The destruction of property may have been greater, but that is impossible to estimate. The flight of the Germans over London lasted about 20 minutes. British airmen engaged the 20 or more machines of the enemy for several minutes over the metropolis and anti-aircraft guns were going briskly, but W i t h o u t 8UCC688. The admiralty waa able to report, however, that naval airmen, who followed them to sea, brought down three machines. East Enders 8tart Riots. Rioting started in the East End of London when the people took into their own hands retaliation for the raid made on the city by German airplanes. Great crowds, mostly women, paraded the streets attacking shops bearing German names. The fronts of these shops were demolished. Included in the crowds were men and women whose children had been maimed or killed by the German bombs. At two places, the furniture was dragged from the shops after the doors had been burst in, piled high in the street and burned. German Towns Bombed. In reprisal for German air raids on open British towns, 84 French airplanes made raids on towns situated far in the interior of German territory. Eleven French airplanes flew ever Treves, on which they showered 2,650 kilos of shells. Seven fires started, one of great Tiolence in the central station. Six other machines bombarded Ludwigshafen. Another airplane pushed as far as Essen and dropped projectiles on the buildings of the Krupp factory. DRAFT IN CANADA SEEMS SURE Houss of Commons By Vote of 118 tq 55 Favors Conscription. Ottawa, Canada—The house of commois, by 118 to 55, adopted Premisr R. L. Borden's resolution passing the draft bill to second reading. The bill still has to run the gauntlet of detailed consideration In the committee stage, and final confirmation at third reading. Then it will go to the senate for final action. With the majority sentiment prevailing in the two chambers the success of the bill at all future stages Is regarded as assured, but it will be the end of the month before It becomes law. Predictions that an attempt to apply conscription and take men for military service by compulsion, will result in resistance to the point of bloodshed In Quebec have given a decidedly serious aspect upon the situation. English speaking Ontario representatives and many from Western Canada belonging to both parties insist that compulsion- must be applied even If disturbances follow. SUFFRAGISTS SENT TO JAIL Eleven "Martyra," Choose Prison Rather Than Fay Fine. Washington—Eleven of the 13 suffragists arrested in front of the White House Independence day were sent to the workhouse for three days. They chose imprsionment rather than pay a floe of $25 each.

HINT OF WAR GAS IN "ILIAD" Homer Says That "Fierce Mara Spread a Vapor Over the Battle, Aiding the Trojans." Why, I wonder, is the word "Homeric" such a favorite with writers at the front and with the subeditors who trick out their narratives? In the Homeric; clays men fought with swords and spears and bows and arrows, with the assistance of an occasional thunderbolt from Jove. What basis of comparison Is there between these toys and the weapons of today? Yet there 1 s one curious parallel which has not. I think, been pointed out. In the fifth book of the "Iliad" we are told that "tierce Mars spread a vapor over the battle, aiding the Trojans." If not exactly poison gas, this may be said to be at least an anticipation of the modern smoke screen.— London Observer.

And, just a few days ago, the people of Washtenaw, Jackeon, Calhoun and Ingham counties learned something of the Red Cross at first hand when a tornado left a wide awath of death and desolation in its wake as it rushed across that rich farming country. It was In the latter disaster that the newly-formed local or county chapters of the American Red Cross most distinguished themselves. The case in Washtenaw county is typical. The tornado tore through that county Wedaesday afternoon. A few minutes later Dr. Louis P.

Next morning telegrams began to pour into division headquarters. Mr Davidson, on the scene, reported that perhaps 50 persons were dead in Mattoon, 400 injured, 600 families homeless, and private property—chiefly residences of working people—to the value of $1,000,000 destroyed. He called for Red Cross nurses and workers at once. Charleston, he said, was in but little better case than Mattoon. John W. Champion, executive secretary of Chicago chapter, and several members of the division staff, realizing that the Red Cross would be "on the job." hurried to the office, and all day long, and until after 1 o'clock at night, the office was reaching out with telegraph aud telephone, snatching Red Cross nurses and workers from their Sunday diversions and starting them for Mattoon and Charleston.

In selecting cows for dairy herds there are several essentiul points to consider. The cow should have great stomach capacity; avoid a round bodied cow whose rrbs are short, aad a flat-ribbed cow. There should be ample room for the udder, which should extend well forward aud not hang down. The Ideal Dairy Cow. The dairy cow should be deep and wide from 1 to 2 as this gives her large capacity for rough feed. The back from 1 to 4 should be sharp, with little Mesh, when she is in good condition. She should be well cut up behind so that the udder can extend well up, as at 3. Her flank should be well arched, as ^t 5, to provide room for a large udder. milk veins should be large and the farther they go the better. The udder should be loose and pliable, when empty—not fleshy. The eyes should be large and bright and project well out from the fuce. This is a strong indication of the nerve force needed for strong digestion and lui'tfc milk secretion.

(By C. H. ECKLES, Missouri College ot Agriculture.) The dairy cow often suffers the most from exposure to the weather before real winter has begun. After steady cold comes the cow is generally stabled, Exposure to cold rains is often more Injurious to the animal than the colder but dry weather in winter. The dairy cow is not like the fat steer, protected from cold by a layer of fat. A8 a result, bad weather causes a big drop In milk production. §0 long ns the weather Is dry it is Just as well to leave the cow outside nights, but every cold rain should find her protected. It is not necessary in the climate of Missouri to go to any great expense on most farms In orde* that the barn may be warm. The main thing is to have tight walls so there is no draft or wind, and a good roof. Care should be taken in arranging the stalls In the form of a platform of the right length and a gutter of sufficient depth to hold the manure. The cleanliness of the milk depends to a considerable extent upon having the barn built so the cow will keep herself clean.

According to figures secured in the recent farm survey, there are about ITJOO acres of potatoes in Livingston County. Allowing tight bushels of seed potatos per acre, which would be a low figures, as in ordinary years many farmers plant ten to twelve bushels per acre, it required 12000 bushels of potatos to plant this acreage. Seed potatoes have ranged as high as $3.5() and $4.00 per bushel ami an average price of $2.50 would not be to high to figure the cost of this seed, that is the potatoes planted in Livingston County this year were worth at least £30,000 on a very conservative estimate. This is not a j'Otato growing section on a commercial scale and no one individual has any great amount invested in potatoes, but in the aggregate it represents a large amount of money. This does not m .ke any allowance for labor nor for use of land, which would increase the investment very materially. A hen we atop to consider that we have thirty thousand dollars invested in seed alone it becomes apparent that the best of care should be given in order that a good crop may be insured. This includes not onl/ frequent cultivation and spraying for bugs but also treatment for prevention of blight. The best method of preventing loss from blight is frequent spraying with Bordeaux mixture, which in addition to controlling the blight has a beneficial (rffecton the growth of the plants and results in a higher yield. Experiments in Xew York State showed an increase of 69 bushel per acre from three sprayings and 97¾ bu. per acre from five to seven sprayings on an-average from a 10-year period. In 1915, a bad blight year in this st<te, a potato field in Kalamazoo county was sprayed with Bordeaux mixtures and a strip left through the center of the field unsprayed. The sprayed portion yielded 260 bushel per acre of firstclass potatoes, while the unsprayed portion produced 130 bushel per acre of poor quality and rotted stock. Don't take chances on blight this year. The investment in seed and labor is to high to tike the risk. Careful spraying with Bordeaux mixture is the best insurance for your crop.

A Welsh officer, well known as a Rugby footballer, was asked what was his most exciting experience at the front. He said he could not decide, but that the following Incident was one of his most thrilling experiences. He had come from the trenches, and was looking forward to a fairly restful time in billets. Entering his room, he was about to throw himself Into a seat when he heard a hissing noise. It sounded just like a lighted fuse, and. with thoughts of spies and bombs flashing through his mind, he forgot his fatigue in a wild dash outside.

GARDEN WORK IN MIDSUMMER By E. VAN BENTHUY8EN. Celery plants may be set out early tn July In the North, and In the milder climates planting is carried on up to the first of August. It is not as difficult to raise celery as people believe, although the crop requires more attention than the average garden plants. Celery plants can be bought, but one always takes a chance in buying them. Of course the best way is to raise your own plants from seeds. The planting of the seed should be done very early In the spring, and after the plants have attained a good growth the real cultivation begins. Ground that has borne a crop of peas makes a good celery soil, provided the crop was thoroughly fertilized and cultivated. The furrows should be three feet apart for the self-blanching celery and about five feet for those kinds that are to he blanched by banking with earth. If boards are to be used, the rows need not be more than four feet apart. The furrows should be made at least a foot deep and about three Inches of well-rotted manure placed in the bottom. Scrapings from the barnyard with a little soil mixed in make a good fertilizer for celery. The fertilizer should be worked in well and smoothed and the plants set in a perfectly straight line about six inches apart in the row. The plants should be about six Inches high when put into the ground and should not be placed too deeply—just enough to cover the roots—and the ground must be thoroughly firmed around them. Before setting out the plants, however, the dirt which has been thrown out on the side of the trench should be raked down, leveled off and made firm with the back of the spade, so that It will not wash into the trenches. When the plants mature they may be planted by drawing the soil about the plants up to the top leaves or boards from one foot to eighteen inches high may be placed on each side of the rows and held in place by the stakes. The best-flavored celery, we think, is produced by blanching with earth. The earth should be drawn around the plants gradually. The ground that has borne early crops in the garden should be cleared off and loosened with a spading fork and prepared for another crop. Carrots make an ideal second crop. They should be sown by the first week in July in any sort of decent soil; in fact they do not need rich soil. Sow the seed in rows about 15 Inches apart, and thin, leaving the plants standing about two inches apart in the row. A later sowing of about two weeks may be added if desired. Rutabagas may be sown up to the first of August. Any good soil that has borne a first crop is suitable for turnips. Some persons sow the seed broadcast, but a better plan Is to sow them in rows about two feet apart and thin to about six inches apart in the row. Cabbage should be in the ground the very £rst week in July. The plants may be set quickly by use of a dibble, but a sod-cutter is better, as this enables one to stand upright. Stick the sod-cutter in the ground, push the handle slightly from you, insert the plant, withdraw the tool, press down the earth with the foot and the thing is done. Do not use parls green to kill the worms on the cabbages. It is a dangerous business and we have known persons to be badly poisoned by eating cabbages treated this way. Along about this time ants make a great deal of trouble by throwing up hills in the garden or on the lawn. No use to dig them up or destroy the nests, as they can quickly turn up in some other spot. At the nearest drug store buy a can of bisulphide of carbon. It is ill-smelling stuff and If you place a match within a foot of it there will be an explosion. By all means allow no fire to come near it. With a stick make two or three openings in the ant hill, near the center, and pour about a tablespoonful into the hole, then close the hole tightly with earth, and the fumes will quickly permeate the hill and kill every living thing. Here comes our old friend, the potato bug, again. Spraying with bordeaux mixture, to which has been added arsenate of lead at the rate of about two pounds to the barrel of the mixture, will usually kill the bugs and alsc prevent blight.

FEEL IT THEIR DUTY TO TALK They Come Forward and Unhesitatingly Tell Suffering Humanity What Celebrated Medicine Has Done for Them. r? Is seldom, Indeed, that men of prominence, especially men holding high public office, willingly express their indebtedness publicly to a proprietary medicine. Many prominent men, however, including supreme court Judges, mayors of our leading cities, prominent state and county officials, bankers, lawyers, doctors, editors, leading educators, government officials and even ministers of the Gospel have deemed it their duty to come forward and tell the people what Tanlac has done for them. These well-known men of affairs nave recognized in this medicine a new discovery and a scientific triumph in the medical world. It is a well-known fact that these splendid indorsements have been given Tanlac time and time again and they will continue to be given Just as often as new tests of its powers are made; and it also explains why numbers of the big drug firms of the country are ordering it exclusively in carload lots. Doctor Prescribes I t Dr. J. T. Edwards, of Fayettevtlle, Ga„ one of the best-known members of the medical profession in the state of Georgia, makes a statement that will undoubtedly produce a profound impression throughout the South. "In my thirty years of actual practice as a licensed physician in the state of Georgia," says Dr. Edwards, "I have never seen anything to equal Tanlac as a medicine to produce results. I have no hesitancy In recommending this medicine and I am prescribing it for my patients almost every day." Professor C. T. Clotfelter, prominent educator and principal of the High School at Ben Hill, Gav says: MI was in such bad physical condition that I feared I would have to give up my duties. I suffered from rheumatism, sluggish liver, nausea and terrible bilious headaches. I have taken 3 bottles of Tanlac and I feel better than I have felt In years." Noted Texan Talks. Hon. Archie R.

ONE of the latest additions to the large and rapidly growing list of prominent men who have publicly indorsed Tanlac for the good it has done them, is the name of Hon. Frank V. Evans, former Mayor of Birmingham. Mr. Evans is one of the best known men in public life in Alabama today, being at one time editor of one of the South's greatest newspapers, the Birmingham Age-Herald. He was also examiner of public accounts of Alabama. In telling of the benefits he had derived from Tanlac, Mr. Evans said: "For years I suffered with gastritis and indigestion in the worst form. I was habitually constipated and had pains in my shoulders and headache continually. My appetite left me almost entirely and everything I would eat hurt me. Finally I got to having awful attacks of acute indigestion, palpitation of the heart and smothering spells. For a long time I would have one or more of these spells every night and I would wake out of my restless sleep gasping for breath. "I bought a bottle of Tanlac and to my surprise and gratification I began to feel relief after the first few doses. I kept taking the medicine and now my recovery is simply the talk of Birmingham." Tanlac has done me more good than anything I ever tried. I now wake up In the morning feeling fine. "I'm telling all my friends about Tanlac and am recommending it to them, regardless of their age and trouble." Dr. G. W. De LaPerriere, of Winder, Ga., is not only one of the best known physicians and druggists in the State of Georgia, but is also a man of extensive property and wide Influence, ranking as one of the leading citizens of that entire section. He has been in the drug business in Winder for 25 years. Recently Dr. De LaPerriere wrote: "Our people are much enthused over the beneficial effects of Tanlac and I desire to say that it Is the most wonderful seller I ever had in this store."

In its decision the commission indicated its willingness to increase class rates in the eastern district approximately 14 per cent. Since about one-fourth of the freight handled is moved under class rates, the decision virtually allows the eastern lines about four per cent increase in gross freight revenue. Increase sought in rates on coal, coke and iron ore will be granted. The commission found, as result of extended hearings, the carriers generally show a substantial and increasing financial prosperity, and they have ample resources with which to conduct transportation. Little sympathy was given the arguments of the roads they were victims of war prices, the commission holding the carriers have profited by the mobilization of troops. The commission found in general that the effects of the Adamson 8- hour basic day and of the increased cost of fuel supplies and materials had not affected the southern and western carriers as greatly as it affected the eastern carriers. 200 FAIL AT FORT SHERIDAN Sixty Michigan Men Among Those Who Are Rejected.

OBITUARY Little1 Genevieve Elizabeth, only child of Norman and Lorna Whitehead was born April 3, 1917, and was called from her earthly career Wednesday, June 27th, being two months and four days old. She was sick about one week and all that tender care and medical aid could accomplish was done to save the precious life, but to no avail, and the little flower was gathered. Sometimes we cannot see why these afflictions come, but God knows and has some wise purpose in view, some allurement to bold out to beckon toward himself though our loved ones gone before. L e t faith and hope mingle \ with your sorrow. Look to that other , world and view that grand reunion of those who love and serve their Chriat. Funeral services were held at the house Friday afternoon. She was laid to rest in the Williamsville Cemetery.

HANDS OFF DRAFT' S T R A I G H T W A R N I N G TO E V E R Y P O L I T I C I A N W H O MAY W I S H T O I N T E R F E R E . NO FAVORITISM TOLERATED Imprisonment Will Be the Fate of Anyone Who Seeks to Secure the Release of Any Man—Crowder • Determined on Fairness. By E D W A R D B. C L A R K . Washington.—Politicians by an Indirection that Is direction Itself are warned by the administration to keep their hands off the draft machine. The fear of the people seems to be that favoritism will be shown in the draft and by this Is meant In the actual drawing of names. Washington knows all about this fear and It Is determined that any politician who attempts by favoritism, either in the matter of exemption or In the matter of the draft, to secure release for one man and service for another, shall go to Jail. The federal government, especially In time of war, has a habit of carrying out its intentions. Some time ago it was said that the people could give over all fear that there would be either favoritism or crookedness in the operation of drawing the names of men for service in the army. This word can be repeated today. A system will be devised which no politician can beat, let him try his crooked best. The names will be drawn with absolute fairness and by a system above reproach. There is not today in official ranks in Washington any fear whatsoever that trouble is to come through the draft operations. There is fear that when the exemptions are determined there may be attempts to secure immunity for one man and service for another when both are equally fit for the army. It can be said, however, that before the official exemption steps are taken safeguards will be devised which it is believed will hold the process safe from Just criticism. Thut there will be kicking here and there is expected, but with a favoritismproof plan the officials believe they can withstand the assaults of the always suspicious. Crowder Will Have Fairness, An intimate knowledge of the plannlngs and the workings of Provost Marshal General Crowder's office since he was assigned to h\s huge task makes one know that every possible means was taken to conduct the registration fairly and is being taken to keep exemptions and the draft Itself above the taint of reproach. General Crowder is as conscientious a man as lives. I have known him for more than 80 years. He is as straight as a right line. The officers of the provost marshal general's office are not legislators. Congress passed the bill which contain a punishment clause for interference with the operations of the selective service act. The department of Justice will see to it that any man who for any reason tries to compass the escape from draft of a man who is fit physically for the service, at the expense of some other man to whom the lot has sot fallen, shall be punished as the law provides. Officials In Washington do not say so, but unquestionably there is a feeling that men who want to escape will torn to the politicians for the means of escape. The politicians are supposed to be able to Influence the sun, the moon, the stars, the tides and the winds. Generally speaking, perhaps, they can. In this specific case they probably will find that they cannot There is Jail for the man who tries to send one mother's son to the front In the place of another mother's son whose duty It is to go. For Big Air Army. Congress has been asked by the national council of defense to appropriate a huge sum of money to carry into effect a program of aircraft production through which it is hoped that American aviators will dominate the enemy on the fighting lines in Europe. It seems probable that the American £ving corps, instead of numbering its pilots and its observers by a few •core*, soon will number them by the thousand scores. There are a good many things in the aviation service -which the American youth does not (know. It Is apparent that the army that the information be im- Iittle by little the war department la giving out information about army aviation plana. Prom the other side Ms* the water and from this aide too $Mve come urgent appeals that Uncle rain fliers by the hundred thousUftd build machines enough to feasa aU soaring. It ft* k * r s » that at soma of the mnsrve corps camps few of h*ve shown a desire to enter matter has made It ap- A marl cans are afraid of the air. This is far from the truth. They are Just as willing to take chances aloft as they are on the ground. The reason for holding back Is that the young fellows in training for commissions and the thousands of youag men In training for army service have not been properly Informed concerning the training and the duties for scouting and lighting in the air. Not Most Dangerous Service. The Americans who think that the youth of the land Is holding back from aviation service because of its dangers are misinformed as to facts in the case. There is nothing in the history of war to show that danger would daunt any American, but the truth happens to be that the flying service Is not as dangerous as two or three other services into which the men fairly clamor to enter. In the present war the records show that the doctors and the litter bearers are in greater danger of death and wounds than men of any other branch of the service. Running them close are the- engineers, the Infantry and the artillery. It is probable that somewhere in between the Infantrymen and the gunners will be found the filers. They have suffered heavily, of course, but their chance of escape Is greater than if they were serving in any of three other of the fighting branches. The urgency of the demand that American aviators in great numbers be sent to Europe and that America turn out flying machines by the scores of thousands unquestionably will bring its results. Mobilizing the Women. The presidents of all the national organizations of women, hundreds in number, recently gathered in Washington to confer on the„ mobilization of women for the war. In the meantime every state, as well as the Philippines and the Panama zone, has a chairman who is sending in reports of the machinery now in process of oiling up for the carrying out of the plans of the committee in Washington. For the first time in the history of the world, the women of a nation are being mobilized for war, under the leadership and direction of women and directly under a national government. In the nice little plat of squares and lines that represents the activities of the council of national defense, a new square appears. It is entitled "Women's Defense Committee." Sitting supreme in that square is the aged but still peppy* dean of all the women of America, Dr. Anna Howard Shaw. With her as vice chairman is one of the leading woman publicists of the United States, Miss Ida Tarbell. Other members of the committee are Mrs. Joseph R. Lamar of Atlanta, Mrs. Antoinette Funk of Illinois, Miss Maude Wetmore of Rhode Island, Mrs. Philip N. Moore of Missouri, Mrs. Stanley McCormick of Massachusetts, Mrs. Josiah R. Cowles of California, Miss Agnes Nestor of Illinois, and Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt of New York. Suffrage questions and questions of personal interests have been thrown into the discard. The leading suffragist of the country the other day went off and left the leading antisuffraglst to write a letter for her. Agnes Nestor, the glove worker, and Mrs. Cowles, the club, woman, and Mrs. Lamar, the Colonial Dame, are throwing everything else aside for the sake of the one issue: "The successful prosecution of the war.H Ten Main Divisions. The plans of the women are divided into ten main divisions representing the most Important interests and activities of women. Each division will be under the special charge of one expert, while the committee as a whole will sit on general questions of policy. Food production and conservation occupy two divisions, woman in industry another, child welfare a third. In all these fields the committee will harmonize the work done in various government departments and committees and unify the women of the country in these lines. Liberty loans (in the plural) will form another division, and home and farm relief, in co-operation with the Red Cross. Social welfare work, such as work for crippled children, tuberculosis hospitals, settlements, which will be hard hit by the war. will be encouraged. Women are to be urged to feel that America must be a good place for our soldiers to some home to. To give to the war needs their last penny and their last ounce of energy, not by taking everything away from existing charities, but by taking everything away from personal luxuries.

News of their safe arrival was received at the war department on June 27th. The number and composition of the advance guard were not made known. Press dispatches from France, presumably sent forward with the approval of General PerBhing's staff, show that Major-General Sibert, one of the new major-generals of the army, has command of the first force sent abroad, under General Pershing as commander- in-chief of the expedition. One thing stands out sharply, despite the fact that the size of the task that has been accomplished is not fully revealed. This is that American enterprise has set a new record for the transportation of troops. Considering the distance to be covered and the fact all preparations had to be made after the order came from the White House, May 18, it is practically certain that never before has a military expedition of this size been assembled, conveyed and landed without mishap in so short a time by any nation. The only rival in magnitude is the movement of British troops to South Africa in the Boer war, and that was made over seas that were unhampered by submarines, mines or other obstacles. The troops departed from a number of ports on the Atlantic at different dates. Under the protection of swarm of warships the transports made their dash through the war zone to the French port. Vice-Admiral Sims in Command. The ships, which convoyed the American troops were under command of Vice-Admiral William S. Sims, according to word received here. There were indications that it was especially for this purpose that Vice-Admiral Sims was placed in temporary command of a fleet in British waters, many of the units of which were American warships. GUARD UNITS TO BE RENAMED To Simplify Records Will Bear Numbers Same As Regular Army. Washington.—Designation of all regiments hereafter by number and service branch only, without distinction between units of the regulars, National Guard and National army, has been decided on by the war department to simplify official records. Under the system the regular regiments will retain their present names from the "First infantry," "First cavalry," etc., upward. The National Guard regiments will be renamed, their numbers beginning where those of the regulars end, and the new units to be organized under the selective draft will take their numbers onward from the last guard regiments. For the purposes of local identification, but not in the official records, National Guard and National army regiments will be permitted to use in parenthesis after their names the state from which they come. In the case of the National Guard, the former name of the regiment may be used in full in parenthesis, including both the name of the state and the former state number. Thus, a National army regiment could be called the "Two Hundred and Fifth infantry {W. Va.)" while a National Guard regiment might use the designation "Sixty-sixth infantry (Firat Indiana)." No parenthesis would imply regulars. Washington.—A maximum price of $3.SO a ton for domestic bituminous coal and a maximum price of (3 a ton for all other soft coal, with a further cut of 60 cents a ton for the government, free on board cars at the mines for all states east of the Mississippi river went into effect July 1. All Pensylvania bituminous coal, which sells for $4.75 to $6 at the mines, is reduced to $3 for mine run and $3.50 for lump und egg, domestic sizes. West Virginia bituminous, selling for $4.50 to $6 at mines, goes down to $3 and $3.50. Ohio bituminous, selling from $4.50 to $5, drops to $3 and $3.50. Alabama bituminous, selling from $5.50 to $5.75, is reduced to $4, $3.60 and $3. Maryland bituminous, selling from $5.75 to $6, is reduced to $3 and $3.60. Virginia bituminous, selling from $4.50 to $5, is reduced to $3.50 and $2. Kentucky bituminous, selling from $4 to $4.50, is reduced to $3 and $3.50. Illinois and Indiana bituminous, selling from $3.50 to $4, is reduced to $2.75 and $3.50. Cut of $5 From Last Winter. These figures were reached at a conference of the coal operators with Secretary of the Interior Lane, J. Franklin Fort, of the federal trade commission, and Francis H. Paabody, chairman of the coal production com. mittee of the council of national defense. In round numbers this means a reduction of $6 a ton to the consumer from the famine prices paid last winter. Conservative estimates are that the public will pay from $5 to $8 a ton next winter. In addition to placing prices upon coal at the mines, it was announced that jobbers, brokers, retailers and commission men would be permitted to charge commissions of not more than 25 cents a ton and that no mora than one commission should be charged. In other words, the consumer should get his coal at the mine price plus transportation charges and 2S cents a ton. Allowing this margin to the Jobber,, it was said, the prices that will be quoted eventually"' by the dealer to the small buyer for home consumption will be a question in which public sentiment will have a loud voice in deciding. One of the leading operators said that the great cut in prices at the mines would result in an annual saving to the consumers of $180,000,000 Only one more problem remains now as concerning the coal situation. It will be up to the government to supply the cars to haul its cheaper coal. HOUSE PASSES ROUGE PLAN Appropriates $490,000 for Developing River to New Ford Plant. WHITE SLAVE RING REVEALED Said to Have Taken 7,000 Girls Every Year to South America. New York—Amazing revelations of the working of a Buenos Aires white slave ring that requires 7,000 girls every year have been uncovered here. Senator Jose Del Campo, formerly Chilean consul at Mobile, Ala., corroborated and expanded the exposures made by a Miss LA Rue. The system is the selling of 7,000 girls each year through a syndicate of rich men—many of them millionaires —in Buenos Aires. The former consul asserted these girls were sold for from $ 1,000 to $5,000 each. Before the war, he declares. 10 per cent were sent from the United States by clever cadets. Last year, according to his story, $4 per c e n t or 5,000 of the girls, were imported by South America from the United States, Washington—Congress has finally passed the bill appropriating $490,000 required to develop the River Rouge to the new Ford blast furnaces and tractor plant If the amendment Is approved finally by the senate, it will open the Rouge to the largest lake freighters for four and one-half miles from the Detroit river, thus furnishing Detroit with an additional nine miles of river frontage available for industrial sites. The original request of the war department called for a first appropriation of $200,000 and authorized the remaining cost of $290,000. DRAFT REGULATIONS APPROVED Physically Unfit, Family Heads end W a r Workers Are Exempt. Washington—Four classes of men are named as exempt from military service in the draft regulations to which President Wilson has finally given approval. These classes are: Men physically unfit Men employed in essential positions in war industries. Those with certain religious beliefs Men with wives or other relatives wholly dependent on them for support.

Washington—The Society of Automotive Engineers, upon whose members will fall the task of standardizing America's war machinery production, from airplanes to motorcycles, have met here in war convention. These 3,000 American engineers, hundreds from Detroit, welded into a national organization by America's war needs, have established a bureau of co-operation with the government war heads. They are working night and day on the task of co-ordinatingand standardizing motor truck, motorcycle, military transport, aeroplane, coast defense, motor boat, tractor, tank and farm tractor production. RED CROSS QUOTA EXCEEDED Reports Indicate T h a t Michigan H a t \ Raised Over $4,000,000. Deetroit—Fifteen Michigan counties, including Wayne, either had raised or exceeded their Red Cross subscription quotas, according to reports made public Thursday afternoon, apparently justifying the prediction that contribution! from the rural sections would aggregate more than $1,500,000. This, added to Detroit's $2,500,000, will bring the total for the entire state above the $4.000,. 000 mark. $1,000,000 in excess of the m *- PINCKNEY DISPATCH. 2> HEART OF THE SUNSET By Rex Beach CopTtsfat by H*r»«r * CHAPTER XVI—Continued. —16— "But first, wait!" exclaimed the horse-breaker. "I bring you something of value, too." Desiring to render favor for favor, and to show that he was fully deserving of the general's generosity, Jose removed from inside the wweatband of his hat a sealed, stamped letter, which he handed to his employer. "Yesterday I curried the mall to town, but as I rode away from Las Palmas the senora handed me this, with a silver dollar for myself. Look ! It Is written to the man we both hate." Longorlo took the letter, read the inscription, and then opened the envelope. Jose looked on with pleasure while he spelled out the contents. When the general had finished reading, he exclaimed : "Ho ! A miracle I Now I know all that I wish to know." "Then I did well to steal the letter, eh?" ' "Diablo ! Yes I- That brute of a husband makes my angel's life unbearable, and she flees to La Feria to be rid of him. Good! It fits in with my plans. She will be surprised to see me there. Then, when the war comes, and all is chaos—then what? I'll warrant I can make her forget certain things and certain people." Longorlo nodded with satisfaction. "You did very well, Jose." The latter leaned forward, his eyes bright. "That lady Is rich. A fine prize, truly. She would bring a huge ransom." This remark brought a smile to Longorto' 8 face. "My dear friend, you do not in the least understand," he said. "Ransom ! What an idea !" He lost himself in meditation, then, rousing, spoke briskly: "Listen t In two, three days your senora will leave Las Palmas. When she is gone you will perform your work, like the brave man I know you to be. You will relieve her of her husband." Jose hesitated, and the smile vanished from his face. "Senor Ed is not a bad man. He likes me; he—" Longorio's gaze altered and Jose fell silent "Come l You are not losing heart, eh? Have I not promised to make you a rich man? Well, the time has arrived." Seeing that Jose still manifested no eagerness, the general went on in a different tone: "Do not think that you can withdraw from our little arrangement. Oh, no ! Do you remember a promise I made to you when you came to me in Romero? I said that if you played me false I would bury you to the neck in an ant-hill and fill your mouth with honey. I keep my promises." Jose's struggle was brief; he prompt- 3y resigned himself to the inevitable. With every evidence of sincerity he assured Longorlo of his loyalty, and denied the least Intention of betraying his general's confidence. After all, the gringos were enemies, and there was no one of them who did not merit destruction. Pleased with these sentiments, and feeling sufficiently assured that Jose -was now really In the proper frame of mind to suit his purpose, Longorlo took the winding trail back toward Sangre de Cristo. CHAPTER XVM. A Warning. A few days after she had written to Judge Ellsworth Alalre followed her letter in person, for, having at last decided to divorce Ed, she acted with characteristic decision. Since Ells- -worth had more than once advised this very course, she went to Brownsville, enlisting his willing support. She had written Dave Law, telling him that she intended to go to La Feria, there to remain pending the hearing of her suit. To be sure, she would have preferred some place of refuge other than La Feria, but she reasoned that there she would at least be undisturbed, and t h a t Ed, even If he wished to effect a reconciliation, would not dare to follow her, since he was persona non grata in federal Mexico. She had counted upon seeing Dave during her stay In Brownsville, and her failure to do so wns a grave disappointment as she knew that he was in town attending court. Yet she told herself that it was brave of him to obey her injunctions so literally and to leave her unembarrassed by his presence at this particular time. It Inspired her to be equally brave and to wait patiently for the day when she could welcome him with clean hands and a soul unashamed. In the midst of Alalre's uncertainty of mind it gratified her to realise that Dave alone would know of her whereabouts. She wondered if he would to see her. He wms a headstrong lover, and his desirea were all too likely to overcome his deliberate resolves. She rather hoped that in spite of his promise he would venture to cross the border so that she could see and be near him, if only for a day or for an hour. The possibility frightened and yet pleased her. The conventional woman within her frowned, but her outlaw heart beat fast at the thought. Alaire did not explain her plans even to Dolores, but when her preparations were complete she took the Mexican woman with her, and during Ed's absence slipped away from the ranch. Boarding the train at Jonesville, she was in Pueblo that night. It seemed at last that war with Mexico was imminent. After months of uncertainty the question had come to issue, and that lowering cloud which had hung above the horizon took ominous shape and size. Ellsworth awoke one morning to learn that an ultimatum had gone forth to President Potosl; that the Atlantic fleet had been ordered south; and that marines were being rushed aboard transports pending a general army mobilization. It looked as if the United States had finally risen In wrath, and as if nothing less than a miracle could now avert the long-expected conflict. Blaze Jones took the San Antonio paper out upon the porch and composed himself in the hammock to read the latest war news. Invasion 1 Troops 1 The Stars and Stripes 1 Those were words that stirred Jones deeply and caused him to neglect his work. Now that his country had fully awakened to the necessity of a war with Mexico —a necessity he had long felt—he was fired with the loftiest patriotism and a youthful eagerness to enlist. Blaze realized that he was old and fat and near-sighted; but what of that? He could fight Fighting, in fact, had been one of his earliest accomplishments, and he prided himself upon knowing as much about it as any man could learn. He believed In fighting both as a principle and as an exercise ; in fact, he attributed his good health to his various neighborly "unpleasantnesses," and he had more than once argued that no great fighter ever died of a sluggish liver or of any one of the other ills that beset sedentary, peace-loving people. Nations were like men—too much ease made them flabby. And Blaze had his own Ideas of strategy, too. So during the perusal of his paper he bemoaned the mistakes his government was making. Why waste time with ultimatums? he argued to himself. He had never done so. Experience had taught him that the way to win a battle was "to beat the other fellow to the draw; hence this diplomatic procrastination filled him with Impatience. It seemed almost treasonable to one of Blaze's Intense patriotism. He was engaged In laying out a plan of campaign for the United States when he became conscious of voices behind him, and realized that for some time Paloma had been entertaining a caller in the front room. Their conversation had not disturbed him at first, but now an occasional word or sentence forced its meaning through his preoccupation, and he found himself listening. Paloma's visitor was a woman, and as Blaze harkened to her voice, he felt his heart sink. It was Mrs. Strange. She was here again. With difficulty Blaze conquered an impulse to flee, for she was recounting a story all too familiar to him. "Why, It seemed as If the whole city of Galveston was there, and yet nobody offered to help us," the dressmaker was saying. "Phil was a perfect hero, for the ruffian was twice his size. Oh, It was an awful fight 1 I hate to think of it." "What made him pinch you?** Paloma inquired. "Heaven only knows. Some men are dreadful that way. Why, he left a blnck-and-blue mark I" Blaze broke Into a cold sweat and cursed feebly under his breath. "He wasn't dronk, either. He was just naturally depraved. You could see It In his face." "How did you escape?" "Well, Til tell you. We chased him up across the boulevard and in among the tents, and then—** Mrs. Strange lowered her voice until only a murmur reached the listening man. A moment, then both women burst into shrill, excited laughter, and Blaze himself blushed furiously. This was unbearable! It was bad enough to bare that woman in Jonesville, a constant menace to bis food name, bnt to allow bar access to sis own home was unthinkable. Sooner or later they were bound to meet, and then Paloma would learn the disgraceful truth—yes, and the whole neighborhood would likewise know his shame. In fancy, Blaze saw his reputation torn to shreds and himself exposed to the gibes of the.people who venerated him. He would become a scandal among men, an offense to respectable women ; children would shun hlrn. Blaze could not bear to think of the consequences, for he was very fond of the women and children of Jonesville. He rose from his hammock and tiptoed down the porch into the kitchen, from which point of security he called loudly for his daughter. Alarmed at his tone, Paloma came running. "What is the matter?" she asked, quickly. "Get her out!" Blaze cried, savagely. "Get shed of her." "Her? W h o r "That varmiri!." "Father, what ails you?" "Nothln* ails me, but I don't want that caterpillar crawlin' around my premises. I don't like her." Paloma regarded her parent curiously. "How do you know you don't like her when you've never seen her?" "Oh, Pve seen her, all I want to; and I heard her talkin' to you just now. I won't stand for nobody tellin' you— bad stories." Paloma snickered. "The idea I She doesn't—" "Get her out, and keep her out," Blaze rumbled. "She ain't right; she ain't—human. Why, what d'you reckon I saw her do, the other day? Makes me shiver now. You remember that big bull-snake that lives under the barn, the one I've been layln' for? Well, you won't believe me, but him and her are friends. Fact! I saw her pick him up and play with him. Who—ee! The goose-flesh popped out on me till It busted the buttons of my vest. She ain't my kind of people, Paloma. 'Strange* ain't no name for her; no, sir 1 That woman's dam' near peculiar." Paloma remained unmoved. "I thought you knew. She used to be a snake-charmer." "A—what?" There was no doubt about it. Blaze's hair lifted, l e blinked through his big spectacles; he pawed the air freely with his hands. "How can you let her touch you? I couldn't. I'll bet she carries a pocketful of dried toads and—and keeps live lizards in her hair. I knew an old voodoo woman that ate cockroaches. Get shed of her, Paloma, and we'll fumigate the house." At that moment Mrs. Strange herself opened the kitchen door to Inquire, "Is anything wrong?" Misreading Blaze's expression for one of pain, she exclaimed : "Mercy! Now, what have you done to yourself?" But the object of her solicitude backed away, making peculiar clucking sounds deep in his t h r o a t Paloma was saying: "This is my father, Mrs. Strange. You and he have never happened to meet before." "Why, yes we have! I know you," the seamstress exclaimed. Then a puzzled light flickered In her black eyes. "Seems to me we've met somewhere, but—I've met so many people." She extended her hand, and Blaze took it as if expecting to find it cold and scaly. He muttered something unintelligible. "I've been dying to see you," she told him, "and thank you for giving me Paloma's work. I love you both for I t " Blaze was Immensely relieved that this dreaded crisis had come and gone; but wishing to make assurance doubly sure, he contorted his features Into a smile the like of which his daughter had never seen, and in a disguised voice inquired, "Now where do you reckon you ever saw me?" The seamstress shook her head. "I don't know, but Til place you before long. Anyhow, Pro glad you aren't h u r t From the way you called Paloma I thought you were. I'm handy around sick people, so I—** "Listen!" Paloma Interrupted. "There's someone at the front door." She left the room; Blaze was edging after her when be heard her utter a stifled scream and call his name. Now Paloma was not the kind of girl to scream without cause, and her cry brought Blaze to the front of the house at a run. But what be saw there reassured him momentarily; nothing was in sight more alarming than one of the depot backs. In the rear seat of which was huddled the figure of s man. Paloma was flying down the walk toward the gate, and Phil Strange was awaiting on the porch. As Bluze fluiu himself into view the latter excluiuied "I brought him straight here, Mr Jones, 'cause I knew you was his best friend." "Who? Who is It?" "Dave Law. lie must have come In on the noon train. Anyhow, I found him—like that." The two men hurried toward the road, side by side. "What's wrong with him?" Blaze demanded. "I dou't know. He's queer—he's off his bean. I've had a hard time with him." Paloma wan in the carriage at Dave's side now, and calling his name; but Law, it seemed, was scarcely con scious. He had slumped together; his face was vacant, his eyes dull. He was muttering to himself a queer, delirious jumble of words. "Oh, dad! He's sick—sick," Paloma sobbed. "Dave, don't you know us? You're home, Dave. Everything is— all right now." "Why, you'd hardly recognize the boy !" Blaze exclaimed ; then he added his appeal to his daughter's. But they could not arouse the sick man from his coma. "He asked me to take him to Las Palmus," Strange erplained. "Look* to me like a sunstroke." Paloma turned an agonized face to her father. "Get a doctor, quick," she implored ; "he frightens me." But Mrs. Strange had followed, and now she spoke up in a matter-of-fact tone: "Doctor nothing," she suid. "I know more than all the doctors. Paloma, you go into the house and get a bed ready for him, and you men lug him in. Come, now, on the run, all of you! I'll show you what to do." She took instant charge of the situation, and when Dave refused to leave the carriage and began to fight off his friends, gabbling wildly, it was she who quieted him. Elbowing Blaze and her husband out of the way, she loosed the young man's frenzied clutch from the carriage and, holding his hands In hers, talked to him in such a way that he gradually relaxed. It was she who helped him out and then supported htm into the house. It was she who got him upstairs and into bed, and it was she who finally stilled his babble. "The poor man Is burning up with a fever" she told the others, "and fevers are my long suit. Get me some toweln and a lot of Ice." Blaze, who had watched the snpkecharmer's deft ministrations with mingled amazement and suspicion, Inquired: "What are you going to do with ice? Ice ain't medicine." "I'm going to pack his head tn i t " Btaze was horrified. "Do you want to freeze his brain?" Mrs. Strange turned on him angrily. "You get out of my way and mind your own business. 'Freeze his brain!'M With a sniff of Indignation she pushed past the interloper. But Blaze was waiting for her when she returned a few moments later with bowls and bottles and various remedies which she had commandeered. He summoned sufficient courage to block her way and inquire: "What you got there, now, ma'am?" Mrs. Strange glared at him balefully. With an effort at patience she inquired : "Say! What alls you, anyhow?" Jones swallowed hard. "Understand, he's a friend of mine. No magic goes." "Magic?" "No—cockroaches or snakes' tongues, or—" Mrs. Strange fingered a heavy china bowl as if tempted to bounce It from Blaze's head. Then, not deigning to argue, she whisked past him and into the sickroom. It was evident from her expression that she considered the master of the house a harmless but offensive old busybody. For some time longer Blaze hung about the sickroom; then, his presence being completely Ignored, he risked farther antagonism by telephoning for Jonesrille's leading doctor. Not finding the physician at home, he sneaked out to the barn and, taking Paloma's car, drove away in search of him. It was fully two hours later when he returned to discover that Dave was sleeping quietly. Dave slept for twenty hours, and even when he awoke It was not to e clear appreciation of his surroundings At first he was relieved to find that the splitting pain in his head was gone, but Imagined himself to be still In the maddening local train from Brownsville. By and by he recognized Paloma and Mrs. Strange, and tried to talk to them, but the connection between brain and tongue was imperfect and he made a bad business of conversation. It seemed queer that he should be In bed at the Joneses'. When he had recovered from his surprise he turned his head and saw Mrs. Strange slumbering In a chair beside his bed; from her uncomfortable position and evident fatigue he judged that she must have kept a long and faithful vigil over him. (TO BE CONTINUED.) SLEEPER APPOINTS TWO COMMISSIONS BOARDS TO INVESTIGATE RAILROAD RATES AND BUDGET REFORM, NAMED. AUTHORIZED BY LEGISLATURE Action on Proposed Laws Deferred at Last Session, So More Real Facts Could Be Gathered. Lansing. Governor Sleeper has appointed the special commission authorized by the legislature to investigate the budget systems of the various states and to recommend to the next legislature a suitable budget law tor Michigan. The members are: Dana H. Hinkley, Petoskey; O. C. Tompkins, Lansing; George Lord, Detroit; Joseph W. O'Brien, Grand Haven, and Charles D. Thompson, of Bad Axe, who was designated special investigator. R. R. Rate Committee Also Named. George M. Clark, of Bad Axe; Thomas D. Kearney, of Ann Arbor, and Robert G. Graham, of Grand Rapids, constitute the special committee appointed by the governor to investigate the railroad rate question. During the last session of the legislature a bill passed the senate increasing passenger rates from two cents to two and one-half cents per mile. This was killed in the house and a compromise measure was adopted authorizing the governor to name a special committee thoroughly to investigate the situation and report at the next session. Kearney has been a member of the state tax commission for three years, but has tendered his resignation in order to Berve on the railroad committee. He is a Democrat. Great Interest was displayed In tat railroad commission. This commission, the governor himself haB intimated right along, has given him a lot of trouble. He took one tax commissioner, one member of the state board of agriculture and a personal friend and lawyer. Huge Task to House New Army. To house the men, animals and vehicles at the Battle Creek camp will require 1,100 buildings. The immensity of the task of housing each of the 16 armies to be placed in the cantonment camps is Indicated by the statement of an army officer that a division of troops, such as will be quartered at Battle Creek, forniB a line 20 miles long when in marching order, with all its regular paraphernalia. A division consists of 35,992 officers and men, made up of 10 regiments of infantry, three regiments of field artillery, one regiment of engineers, two battalions of signal corps, one aero squadron, four ambulance companies and six truck companies. With a regular division go 6,846 horses and 4,875 mules. 1,009 wagons, of which 360 are to carry rations, 50 3-inch field guns, 25 3.8-inch howitzers, 92 machine guns, 32,000 rifles, 12 motor cars, 67 motor trucks, 64 motorcycles, 12 aeroplanes, 48 ambulances, 328 other vehicles. A new form of supply train, using motor trucks largely In place of horse and mule-drawn wagons, may be assigned to Battle Creek, if the supply of motor vehicles can be secured in time. In place of the above quota, this new form of division would require only 6,713 horses and 2,687 mules. The number of motor cars, however, would be increased to 35, the number of motor trucks to 627 and the number of motorcycles to 106. The artillery, aeroplane and ambulance equipment is the same in both forms of organization. Harder to Find. **Bralns are a common commodity." •That » r T e a .

For a Solution of the Conundrum Read the Following Terss Interviews. Andrew Carnegie, who since his retirement from active life has devoted himself to the study of human relations, was recently asked which he considered the most important factor in industry—labor, capital or brains? The canny Scot replied, with a merry twinkle iu his eye : "Which is the most important leg of a three legged stool?" For all the factors in Industry there Is a tabloid sermon in the steel man's terse reply, a sermon which brings home more effectively than any lengthy discussion could possibly do, the interdependence of employers and employees and the necessity for their working together with the public to protect the prosperity of iudustuy. But Mr..Carnegie is only one of the many authorities who have laid stress upon this theme. Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the board of directors of the United States Steel corporation and president of the American Iron and, Steel institute, recently expressed tlie same idea from another viewpoint—namely, the value of loyalty in employees and the necessity for cultivating this loyalty. " I t is well," said J u d g e Gary, "for the large number of employers to bear in mind t h a t they cannot successfully carry on their affairs without having the- labor and loyalty of their employees. T h e work of multitudes will always be needed for the successful operation of business, but it is clear t h a t the skilled laborer or the highly educated or experienced employees would not without abundant capital accomplish pronounced success."—Industrial Conservation, A'etc York.

Let us make our Independence Day observance one of sober and heartening discussion of the problems of our great democracy at war. Let us prepare for service rather that make the eagle scream." This, in brief, is the wish of Governor Albert E. Sleeper, as embodied in an informal Fourth of Jul/ proclamation issued today in the form of an interview from the executive office. "It is not a day of service and consecration for the man in the ranks alone, but for every civilian as well. Let our celebration contain a message to the better'Spirit of the state of Michigan. Let us give to our people the solid facts that bring home to them the issues of this war as America's war, which is not of our own seeking, but which has bet-n thrust upon us by an insolence which has scorned morality and broken the most solemn pledges made us. "If we are to win, we must fight for victory —in the trenches, in the fields, in the home by the conservation of food, in the community at large by a spirit of self-sacrifice and helpfulness." Arizona Bone Dry In Arizona, the Phoenix Arizona Gazette has no hesitancy in avowing that prohibition has been of very great benefit to the state. It has resulted in the decrease of crime, according to the reports of the officials of penal institutions and peace-efficers, and according to reports of bankers and mining men, has proved of great economic advantage. In the city of Phoenix alone the averag number of arrests for drunkenness has been less per month than it was daily under the saloon regime. But the election figures furnish the best argument that can be produced showing that the people-recognize the benefits of prohibition according to this journal, which adds: "The 'bone-dry' amendment or the measure to strengthen the one previously adopted, by cutting -out the 'per sonal use' feature was carried by thirneen counties out of fourteen by a majority of 11,094, only one county voting against it, and that by one majority only. "To the citizens of states having hundreds of thousands of votes thesr majorities may not look large, but in Arizona, with less than 250,000 population the total vote amounted to a little Isss than 60,000 from which it will be seen that the percentage is quite large.

What le of practhese aid in producing a rapid walk, which is a great asset to horses used for any purpose. The defects of gelt which may well be noted while the horse is walking are interfering, winging, toeing in or toeing out, and sprawling. Trot—This gait must be square; that ls, It must be without any tendency to wabble, shuflle, or mix gaits, and the hind feet should follow in line with the forefeet In the roadster and trotting race horse speed is highly valued, while in the park saddle horse a fair degree of nicely balanced knee and hock action ls demanded. The highest prized factor of the harness horse expresses Itself at the trot in extreme knee and hock action. Even in the draft horse a square, open, wellbalanced trot with pronounced knee and hock action adds many dollars to his selling price. The common defects of the trot are interfering, forging, dwelling, hopping, and knee action without a proportionate amount of Lameness may be detected In the trot when It may not be apparent In other gaits. An abundance or lack of energy and ambition is apparent during trotting by the general deportment and carriage. Pace.—The pacing gait is more or Mess common in harness horses, and ?lt Is useful as a fast road gait on ^smooth thoroughfares.

The principal defects of the pace are cross-firing and hitting the knees. Eaay Gaits.—Plantation horses and five-gaited saddle horses have gaits that are easy on the rider as well as on the horse. Such gaits are desired principally for long rides and are known ^s slow pace, fox or dog trot, and running walk. Any one of them may constitute one of the gaits of a five-gaited horse, while the faster easy gait demanded in such a horse la -the rack or slnglefoot This Is Intermediate between the trot and pace, the feet hitting the ground one at a time, producing a gait easy on the rider, but tiring to the horse.

If the resistance is due entirely to a heavily muscled and consequently a strong tail it may be an indication of general muscular strength and tension. While being hitched up or mounted the horse should stand quietly and should start promptly but quietly on command. For any purpose the following vices should cause the animal to be rejected: Balking, backing, rearing, kicking, striking with the forefeet or running away. Less Important vices are: Throwing the head up or down, shying, scaring, breaking loose when tied, resting one foot upon the other, grasping the bit between the teeth, rolling with the harness on, or switching the tail over the lines. Occasionally the last-named vice causes the horse to kick, in which case it becomes dangerous. General Considerations. — Enlargements or scars (due to deformity, unusual mishap, or uncommon disease) not conforming to any of those discussed should cause a horse (o be rejected unless the nature of the cause and the detriment to the value and usefulness of the animal is self-evident. Experience gained by examining large numbers of horses will aid in quickening the eye and judgment thereby making it possible to perceive readily any unusual condition, but it should be remembered that a hurried examination ls liable to prove a disappointment; consequently plenty of time should be taken In making the examination, because time is much cheaper than money tied up In an unsatisfactory hone. In some countries nine days are allowed by law to the purchaser In which to learn of the serious forms of unsoundness or vice In a horse, so that in this country it would seem fair to allow at least a day for a fair trial when practicable. So many defects may be covered up by such unfair methods as drugging that It is a good plan to make purchases only from those with good reputations. Finally, It Is well not to form the habit of seeing only the defects, for horses, like people, are seldom perfect, consequently in Judging them weigh the good qualities against the bad. A horse should be valued by the amount of service he will perform rather than modified, collected, and very slow gal- by his minor shortcomings.

G. T. Sonneck, chief of the division of music of the Hbrury of congress, and he has embodied these facts in reports published by the government in book form, which save them for all time. Unless he has traced a matter to the bedrock of certainty, a report with Mr. Sonneck is never complete, and a call at his oAce in the music division of the library found him with Ms latest published reports on the national songs on the bookcase at his side, and all heavily Interleaved with penned and penciled "annotations which bring evidence down to the very minute.

Congress was then In session In Philadelphia, debating upon that Important subject, and acts of hostility had actually taken place. The contest between England and France was raging, and the people of the United States were divided Into parties for one side or the other, some thinking that policy and duty reaulred us to espouse the cause of republican France, as she was called, while others w*r» for «*nnecting themselves with England. . . .

Poor yields of grapes may in many cases be attributed to the presence of the grape leaf hopper, a small insect which is found commonly on grape vines and which pierces the grape leaves, sucks the juice and causes them to curl and wither, often ruining the crop. So says F. 8. Kerrlll, assistant in horticulture In the Kansas State Agricultural college. The vineyards a t the college havp been badly Infested for the last few years. This year a special effort has been made to get rid of the insect and Obtain a good crop. That the effort* have been successful is attested by the fact, t h a t one of the best crops t h e college has ever had is now maturing, and in a short time harvesting will begin. To control the insect t h e vines were carefully pruned in the spring and part of the plots fertilised with barnyard manure, which was disked in. T h e Plants were then sprayed with "Black l«eaf 40." a concentrated solution of nicotine sulphate, containing not less than 40 per cent of nicotine by weight This concentrated solution was diluted until the nicotine was of about 20 percent strength. This spray was com bined with bordeaux mixture. The flrat spray was applied when a b o u t 75 per cent of the hoppers were In t h e nymph stage. The second spnty w a s applied ten days later. This destroyed those which escaped the first s p r a y and also those which bad d e •eloped d a r i n g the interval between t h e t w o sprays. ^ 4 > * * + * * * ^ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Not to Be Thought Of.

Nevertheless It is a f act % that for years the nobility of England, France, Germany and other European powers have been fashioning the garments of their women folks from Identically the same tissue paper pattern t h a t is on sale in practically every nook and corner of the United States. The funny p a r t of it is that, while the world recognizes that Paris originates style, few people realize that the distribution of style information and the adaptation of Paris creations to the world's millions of well-dressed women are entirely in the hands of Americans. There is one sixteen story building in New York city entirely devoted to the business of making dress patterns and publishing magazines which go to the four corners of the earth regularly with style information gathered from the fashion centers of the world, particularly Paris. These magazines not only are read in the United States to the extent of 1.500,000 a month, but the counterpart of one of them goes regularly t o England, France, Germany, Italy a n d t h e Spanish speaking countries in editions especially preparer in those languages. Furthermore, t h e paper patterns, which reproduce the fashions illustrated and explained in this magazine, also go to all of these countries, where they outsell all similar magazines and patterns indigenous to those lands. And the best part of it all is that the woman who lives in Paris, Tex., is enabled to buy the very latest pattern from t h e house of Butterick a t t h e same time that the woman of Paris, Franco, is seeking the same pattern in the Avenue de 1' Opera shop of the concern. An interesting exhibit at the NPW York plant is a collection of original letters from titled ladles of Europe ordering Butterick patterns or the foreign editions of The Delineator. There are so many of these letters from French. English. German, Austrian, Russian and Scandinavian noblewomen that the eleven vellum bound volumes in w '.ich they are kept are known a s "Burterick's Peerage." One letter is from the British Royal household, advising that the present Prince of Wales as n child was dressed by Butterick patterns.

Grain- Feed Naeciad to Balance Up Lack of Nutritive* In Early Grata. Upon the care and t r e a t m e n t of ^he dairy cow during her first few weeks out to p a s t u r e will in large measure depend the profit we realize from her or the loss we suffer because «he did not get the r i g h t start, writes a correspondent of t h e Iowa Homestead. ' I h a v e seen cows t h a t began a t once to r e t u r n a good margin of profit after going out t o grass, a n d I h a v e seen those which never were able t o overcome the handicap with which, they entered t h e season. W h a t then ought w e to d o for our cow d u r i n g these few weeks after she is in training, a s w e might say, for her year's work? In the first place, it Is well to remember t h a t there is not a great deal of substance in the best pasture grass t h e fore p a r t of the season. It Is fresh and appetizing, possessing strong laxative properties, b u t is chiefly w a t e r with certain flavoring and medicinal e x t r a c t s added. T h a t is principally why t h e cow upon going to pasture i s subject to diarrhea unless she is provided with other feed t h a n t h a t which she can get in the field. To overcome this lack of substantial nutritive material in the spring grass we need to feed about a s much grain as we did before the cow went out, but it ought t o be of a different kind. I n - stead of wheat bran, which tends t o looseness of the bowls, we m a y ' g i v e w h e a t feed, gluten or cornmeal. Silage is n o t required, because t h a t v has a tendency to laxness of t h e bowels Good timothy or clover hay should be fed as long as the cow will eat it. i t is a grave mistake to withdraw this coarse feed the first few weeks after the cow goes to grass. For another thing, t h e grooming ought to be kept up. Usually the cuw will be shedding her hair just now, If not removed regularly it will get matted up and cause a good deal of discomfort. The pores of the skin cannot act a s freely a s they should, and the cow is not very comfortable. We have all noticed how a neglected t o w rubs, licks and works a t her skin in every possible way to get rid of the accuinulated dandruff and loose hair. A few minutes with the comb and brush will help about this very much and bring back more milk. Then, too, we are sometimes apt t o forgetgjsalt a t this season of t h e year. The cow needs it, however, even more if possible than she did when she w a s confined all the time in the stable. In fact, salt ought always to be where the cow can get it. She will not take more then she needs. Of that we may be assured. OW about that printing job you're in need of? Come ia and see BS about it at your first opportunity.
