Statement by Sec. of War The Cavalry, Engineers, Coast Artillery, Signal Corps, and Quartermaster Corps of the Regular Army have already been brought to war strength. 15,000 recruits are needed at once to complete the new regiraenta of infantry and field artillery. 25,000 additional recruit* are desired at the earliest practicable date to fill vacancies in order that the war strengt of 300,000 men may be maintained. Facilities arc in readiness for placing these 70,000 men under proper training. Any delay in obtaining this number will aecesaarily cause the loss of invaluable time. It is the earnest desire of the War Department that 70,000 single men between the ages of 18 and 40, who have no dependents and who are not engaged in professions, businesses, or trades vitally necessary to the prosecution of the war, be enlisted in the Regular Army before the 30th of June, 1917. NEWTON D. BAKER, Secretary of War7 Observations as to Trade Conditions at Present The following article is being sent out by wholesale merchants all over the country. MR. RETAIL MERCHANT: Do you realize that prices are high and are still soaring, and that you are not keeping pace with your prices? Do you understand, that unless you do so and make your collections more promptly and do less credit business than you have in the past, you are sooner or later going to realize that you have put in a life of hard work feeding your customers at no profit to yourself, and the only thing left for yoo to do is to go to work for some other person on a weekly wage? Get out of the notion that in order to do business you have got to extend credit to everybody who enters your place of business. If you have such a notion, you are in the wrong. Brace up and do not be afraid to tell parties that you are either doing a cash business or very close to it, and unless they can show you that they can pay their account in full each week, pass them up. You may as well understand that the war is on and even though it stopped tomorrow, it wiH take two or three years for prices to adjust themselves, as the world is depleted of everything, and it looks as if commodities will continue high, and unless you can govern yourself accordingly, it is inevitable that you will be unable to meet your obligations or else have to draw from other investments to keep business afloat. Only closest attention to strict business principles will mean success at the end of the pressnt crises. S E L F D E N I A L .

DETROIT FACES MILK FAMINE Hearing Before Railroad Commission Brings Out Impending Shortage —Relief la Promiaed. Lanaing—Detroit faces a milk famine this summer unless proper service on the Pere Marquette between Saginaw and Detroit is restored. The impending shortage was brought out forcibly before the state railroad commission by shippers representing more than 800 dairymen who used to supply Detroit with 40,000 pounds of milk dally. FYank H. Alfred, president of the Pere Marquette, claimed the road was compelled to cancel several trains, among them the Detroit milk train which has operated for 40 years on the Saginaw-Flint division, but promised to do all In his power to restore some kind of a train to get this milk to Detroit. Harbor Beach, Elmdale, Freeport, Elk Rapids and other points affected by Pere Marquette curtailment of service all were represented at the hearing. The management satisfied those branch lines by promising to add passenger accommodation to its present freight service. President Alfred testified that last year it cost $21,300 to operate the Traverse Clty-Elk Rapids line and that $8,000 was the total returns. He pointed out that train cancellations had been made on request of the national defense council to conserve fuel by eliminating poorly patronized trains, abandoning excursions and reducing service on unimportant branch lines. THIS IS NATIONAL GUARD WEEK Residents of State Being Made Familiar With Work of Home Boys. Lansing—This is national guard week in Michigan. Every member of the guard from the highest officer to the youngest recruits, the press, every commercial body, every civic association, everybody who understands anything about the national guard is called on to help explain just what it is, why it is, and where it is. Brigadier-General Covell sent out a letter to all officers of the guard asking that for the week beginning June 18, they make especial effort to make the people of the town in which each unit of guard is located fully acquainted with that unit, its reason for being a part of the army service,and its personnel. This is not intended as a campaign for recruits because recruits are coming as rapidly as they are expected. Long before July 15, the units will be recruited to maximum strength. But this war-time excitement causes a lot of people to talk about army affairs, and they know little about them. Many of the residents of the city and the towns from which the Thirty-first, the Thirty-second and the Thirty-third are drawn do not know Just what representation in the various regiments their own town has. It U to let each one of them know what his neighbor and his neighbors' boys are doing that the week's campaign was projected.

The bam with its contents valued at more than $3,000 was burned. This year, for the first time in the history of Hillsdale high school, there was no sartorial competition among graduating femininity. Inexpensive Peter Pan (sailor) suits of white, with black ties, were worn by the graduates. Many made their own costumes. This attire was decided upon as a war time economy. Fred Vincent, whose home was in Cadillac and who was employed in Midland, celebrated his thirty-sixth birthday by taking an automobile ride with two acquaintances. When on the Bay City road a mile east of Midland the machine went into a ditch, turned completely over and all three were injured. Vincent died. He was married.

[ RED CROSS WEEK—HELP THE WOUNDED *m*^mm»m* U.S.TAKES OVERALL SHIPS BEING BUILT GOVERNMENT W I L L RUSH WORK ON VES8EL3 NOW UNDER CONSTRUCTION. TWO MILLION TONS ON WAYS SPAIN IS NEARING CIVIL WAR Grave Military Crisis Reported By Spanish Newspapers. Standardized Steel Ships Will Be Built By New Fleet Corporation A J Soon As Ways Are Clear. Washington.—Steel shipping under construction in American yards, probably 2,000,000 tons, will be taken over immediately by the government under power granted in a provision of the $3,000,000,000 war budget bill. The announcement was made at a conference of the country's Bteel shipbuilders with the shipping board and its emergency fleet corporation. Ships now building will be rushed by double and triple working shifts. When the ways are cleared the fleet corporation will begin building its great fleet of standardized steel vessels. Only by taking over contracts for itself can the government speed construction. Contracts for future construction probably will be abrogated unless the fleet corporation decides the ships are specially fitted for the government. 3,000,000 Tons in 18 Months. Major General Goethals, general manager of the fleet corporations told the shipbuilders he expects to build fully 3,000,000 tons of steel shipping in the next 18 months. Steel companies, he said, have agreed to furnish steel for 800,000 tons a month. The only question, he said, is the capacity of the yards, working at topmost speed. About 1,000,000 tons of the shipping building in American yards or contracted for are for England, This the British government has agreed to turn over to the United States voluntarily. As fast as built ships will be chartered to private operators and possibly to the allied governments. Shipbuilders were told the government has no intention of taking over the ship yards if they do their utmost to speed construction. London—Rumors of a serious revo lutionary movement in Spain are given prominence in a section of the •oress. There has been an almost complete absence of news from the peninsula since the new ministry was appointed. One suggestion is that a movement to bring Spain into the war is materializing, but the little information available is to the effect that the crisis is purely a domestic one and largely due to the demand for reforms by the rank and file of the army. One of few Madrid telegrams which have reached here carries a denial by Premier Dato of a report of insubordination on the part of the Bilbao garrison. This Is the only direct confirmation of newspaper statements that a grave military crisis exists in Spain. According to the Express, the- army has obtained complete dominance and military "committees of defense" have been established and have tabulated a list of the reforms demanded by the army. The Express asserts that constitutional government Is for the moment at an end and that the army is the ultimate arbiter of the crisis. GREAT OFFENSIVE IN MAKING Guns of Both Allies and Teutons Blast Way for Big Drive. BILLION TONS OF COAL IN 1918 United Mlneworkers Pledge Record Production. London—All the way between the North sea and the Swiss border both the Allies and the Germans are preparing for an offensive . The great battles of the year are still to come. But nobody knows where. This is the lesson the Germans learned on the Yser and at Verdun, the Allies in the Champagne, on the Alsne and at Arras—that no offensive can be pushed home to its ultimate purpose, unless it comes absolutely as a surprise—so much so that the opponent cannot find time to throw his reserves and guns into the sectors attacked. Not the slightest inkling must be given the enemy precisely on what front the great breach is to be effected. Therefore, practically the whole front must be continuously bombarded with equal force until everything is ready for the blow. ENGINEERS QUIT f T . SHERIDAN First Departure From Training Camp Effected Without Frills. Washington.—One billion tons ot coal is the promised production for the nation next year under an agreement reached between officials of .the United Mlneworkers of America and the council of national defense. Equal recognition will be given by the government henceforth to the mine workers and mine operators and each will act as a check on the other, it was decided at the conference. At the close of the conference John P. White, president of the United Mine Workers, said: "With this new understanding reached, free workers, organized as free men, can corer this country a foot deep with coal and in the next year raise its production from the former record of 600,000,000 tons to 1,000,000,000 tons." Recognition by the council of national defense of the union workers in dealing with the coal sttnsrkm la •t*Ttif by labor leaders aa mesuaiag that the government hat come to a realisation that the labor interest* of the oosmtry hare pledged theemaetrea to the smpport of PrssiMetit WOaom te the war Fort Sheridan, 111.—Three Hundred Engineers, half from the Michigan- Wisconsin company and half from Illinois, have said farewell to Port Sheridan. The coast artillery contingent of 100 men also marched out of the post and entrained for a point on the Atlantic seaboard, while the engineers went In the opposite direction t o Fort Leavenworth, Kas. This was the first departure from the training camp and was effected without fuss or frills. The seriousness of war was reflected in the stoic atitude of the departing soldiers.

WANT ARMY TO LAUNCH DRIVE Pro-German Socialist, Attempting Peace Treaty, Ordered Expelled From Russian Soil. Petrograd, via London—The Duma in secret session has p&a&ed a resolution for an immediate offensive by the Russian troops. The resolution declares a separate peace with Germany or prolonged Inactivity on the battle front to be ignoble treason toward Russia's allies, for which future generations never would pardon the Russia of the present day. "The duma therefore considers," the resolution adds, "that the safety of Russia and the maintenance of the liberties which have been obtained lie In an immediate offensive in close cooperation with Russia's allies." The first act of the Pan Russian congress of all councils of workmen's and soldier's delegates, upon which depends the immediate destiny of Rus- Bia, inside and out, was to ratify the expulsion by the provisional government of the Swiss Socialist, Robert Grimm, who is reported to have been the medium through which the Germans attempted to arrange a separate peace with Russia. Grimm's case was taken up when the congress assembled, immediately after the delegates had elected as the'r president N. C. Tcheidse, president of the Petrograd council of workmen's and soldiers' delegates. Grimm's expulsion was approved by a vote of 640 to 121. HOOVER TOLD TO BEGIN WORK Congress' Delay On Food Bills Causes President to Order Action. Washington—Congress' delay In passing food bills has drawn from President Wilson an order directing Herbert C. Hoover, designated by the president as food administrator, to proceed immediately with organization of the new food administration Insofar as it contemplates food conservation and elimination of waste through the co-operation of volunteer forces. "While it would in many ways be desirable to await complete legislation establishing the food administration," the president wrote, "It appears to me that, so far as volunteer effort can be assembled, we should wait no longer. Arrangements for enlisting every housewife in the country as a volunteer member of the food administration have been announced by Mr. Hoover, who Intends to reach the women through state defense councils and through various women's organizations. Every woman will be taught to save food in the kitchen and how to purchase for her family. President Wilson's insistence that the food bills be speeded up caused the senate to put the food control bill first on the calendar for this week and the measure was taken up Monday, when the house alto began debate on the bill.

War department agents are in the city for this purpose, assisted by a corps of about a dozen surveyors from the state geological department at Lansing and the Whitney Engineering company, of Battle Creek. Sanitary Engineer S. EL Greeley, ot Chicago, is in charge. Several army officials are in the city to look over the situation. With a detailed map, such as the engineers are preparing, the army officials can select the land wanted and place the various buildings and departments. The senate has passed a bill authoring the president to start condemnation proceedings to take over land needed for cantonments or any other military purposes, but it is not thought that the president will have to resort to this procedure in the case of Battle Creek, aa plenty of land is being secured by leaae.

Declares American People Had No Choice But to Take Up Arms—Duplicity and Intrigues of the Kaiser^ Government Forced the Conflict in Which the Nation Is Engaged. Washington, June 15. — President Wilson, iu his Flag day speech, set forth the aims of the United States in the present war, practically as fol Iowa: My Fellow Citizens: We meet to celebrate Flag Day because tills nag which we honor and under which we serve la the emblem of our unity, our power, our thought aud purpose aa a nation. It has no other character than that which we give it from generation to generation. The choices are ours. It floats in majestic silence above the hosts that execute those choices, whether iu peace or in wur. And yet, though silent, it speaks to us—speaks to us of the past, of the men and women who went before us and of the records they wrote upon it. We celebrate the day of its birth ; and from its birth until now it has witnessed a great history, has floated on high the symbol of great events, of a great plan of life worked out by a great people. We are about to carry It into battle, to lift it where it will draw the fire of our enemies. We are about to bid thousands, hundreds of thousands, it may be millions of our men, the young, the strong, the capable men of the nation, to go forth and die beneath it on fields of blood far away—for what? For some unaccustomed thing? For something for which it has never sought the fire before? American armies were never before sent across the seas. Why are they sent now? For some new purpose, for which this great flag has never been carried before, or for some old, familiar, heroic purpose for which it has seen men, its own men, die on every battlefield upon which Americans have borne arms since the Revolution? These are questions which must be answered. We are Americans. We in our turn serve America, and can serve her with no private purpose. We must use her flag as she has always used it. We are accountable at the bar of history and must plead in utter frankness what purpose it is we seek to serve. No Choice But War's Arbitrament. It ia plain enough how we were forced into the war. The extraordinary Insults and aggressions of the imperial German government left us no self-respecting choice but to take up arms In defense of our rights as a free people and of our honor as a sovereign government. The military masters of Germany denied us the right to be neutral. They filled our unsuspecting communities with vicious spies and conspirators and sought to corrupt the opinion of our people in their own behalf. When they found that they could not do that, their agents diligently spread sedition amongst us and sought to draw our own citizens from their allegiance, and some of those agents were men connected with the official embassy of the German government itself here in our own capital. They sought by violence to destroy our Industries and arrest our commerce. They tried to incite Mexico to take op anna against us and to draw Japan into a hostile alliance with her—and that, not by indirection, but by direct suggestion from the foreign office In Berlin. They impudently denied us the use of the high seas and repeatedly executed their threat that they would send to their death any of our people who ventured to approach the coasts of Europe. And many of our own people were corrupted. Men began to look upon their own neighbors with suspicion and to wonder in their hot resentment and surprise whether there was any community In which hostile Intrigue did not lurk. What great nation in such circumstances would not have taken up arms? Much as w e had desired peace, it was denied ua, and not of our own choice. This flag under which we serve would have been dishonored had we withheld our hand. Relations With German People. But that is only part of the story. We know now as clearly as we knew before we were ourselves engaged that we are not enemies of the German people and that they are not our enemies. They did not originate or desire this hideous war or wish that we should be drawn Into it; and we are vaguely conscious that we are fighting their cause, at they will some day see It, aa well as our own. They are themselves In the grip of the same sinister power that has now at last stretched its ugly talons out and drawn Mood from ua. The whole world Is in the grip of that power and ta trying out the great battle which shall determine whether It ia to be brought under Its mastery or fling Itself free. T h e war wan begun by the military masters of Germany, who proved to be siso the masters of Austria-Hungary. These men have never re6 ^tacJ un tions as peoples, men, women, un< children of like blood uud frume atthemselves, for whom governments existed and In whom governments had their life. They have regarded them merely as serviceable organizations which they could by force or intrigue bmd or corrupt to their own purpose. They have regarded the smaller btatea, in particular, and the peoples who could be overwhelmed by foice, a» their natural tools and instruments of domination. Their purpose has long been avowed. Military Masters Dominate Germany. Their plan was to throw a broad belt of German military power and political control across the very center of Europe and beyond the Mediterranean Into the heart of Asia ; and Austria-Hungary was to be as much their tool and pawn as Serbia or Bulgaria or Turkey or the ponderous states of the East. The dream had its heart at Kerlin. It could have had a heart uowl>ere else ! It rejected the Ideu of solidarity of race entirely. The choice of peoples played no part In it at all. They ardently desired to direct their own affairs, would be satisfied only by undisputed Independence. They could be kept quiet only by the presence or the constant threat of armed men. The German military statesmen had reckoned with all that and were ready to deal with It In their own way. Deceitful Cry for Peace. Is it not easy to understand the eagerness for peace that has been manifested from Berlin ever since the snare was set and sprung? Peace, peace, peace has been the talk of her foreign office for now a year and more; not peace upon her own initiative, but upon the Initiative of the nations over which she now deems herself to hold the advantage. Through all sorts of ehannels it has come to .me, and in all sorts of guises, but never with the terms disclosed which the German government would be willing to accept. That government still holds a valuable part of France, though with slowly relaxing grasp, and practically the whole of Belgium. It cannot go further; it dare not go back. It wishes to close its bargain before It is too late The military masters under whom Germany is bleeding see very clearly to what point Fate has brought them. If they fall back or are forced back an inch, their power both abroad and at home will fall to pieces like a house of cards. If they can secure peace now with the Immense advantages still In their hands which they have up to this point apparently gained, they will have Justified themselves before the German people; they will have gained by force what they promised to gain by it: an Immense expansion of German power, an immense enlargement of German industrial and commercial opportunities. If they fall, their people will thrust them aside; a government accountable to the people themselves will be set up in Germany as It has been in England, in the United States, in France, and in all the great countries of the modern time except Germany. If they succeed they are safe and Germany and the world are undone; if they fail Germany is saved and the world will be at peace.v If they succeed, we and all the rest of the world must remain armed, as they will remain, and must make ready for the next step of aggression ; If they fall, the world may unite for peace, and Germany may be of the union. Practiced Campaign of Deceit . The present particular aim of the masters of Germany is to deceive all those who throughout the world stand for the rights of peoples and the selfgovernment of nations; for they see what Immense strength the forces of Justice and of liberalism are gathering out of this war. The sinister Intrigue is being no less actively conducted in this country than In Russia and in every country in Europe to which the agents and dupes of the Imperial German government can get access. Is a People's War. The greet fact that stands out above all the rest is that this is a People's wsr, a war for freedom and Justice and self-government amongst all the nations of the world, a war to make the world safe for the peoples who live in it and have made it their own, the German people themselves Included ; and that with us rests the choice to break through all these hypocrisies and patent cheats and masks of brute force and help set the world free, or else stand aside and let it be dominated a long age through by sheer weight of arms and the arbitrary choices of selfconstitnted masters, by the nation which can maintain the biggest armies and the most irresistible armaments— a power to which the world has afforded no parallel and In the face of which political freedom must wither and perish. For n r there is but one choice. We have made i t Woe be to the man or group of men that seeks to stand in onr way in this day of high resolution when every principle we hold dearest It to be vindicated and made secure for the salvation of the nations. We are ready to plead at the bar of history, and our flag shall wear a new luster. SHORTAGE OF COAL THREATENS P.M.R.R.

MAY TIE UP ENTIRE SYSTEM Other Roads Affiliated W i t h Coal- Mines Said to b« Storing Large Quantities for Winter. Lansing. Frank H. Alfred, president of the Pere Marquette system, declared, before the state railroad commission, that unless some action is taken by the government, Michigan will suffer a coal famine the coming winter, and that the Pere Marquette will not be able to operate. This statement came during a hearing given shippers, who were claiming that the road had taken several trains off regular schedules. President Alfred told the commission of efforts ma-*~ by his road to have the situation relieved by frequent trips to Washington and when asked by Commissioner Glasgow why he did not unite with the other roads in a general protest, stated that all the larger roads are securing coal, but that the Pere Marquette is being discriminated against. He stated that the Grand Trunk and Michigan Central were storing large quantities of coal for winter and that the roads affiliated with coal mines and interests could secure a supply, but that the Pere Marquette was not so fortunate. "We have no contracts for coal for next year and it is not possible to make contracts," said Mr. Alfred. "We do not know where or how it will be possible to get coal and at what price. Coal confiscated and bought on the outside by the Pere Marquette since January has cost In excess of normal price over $300,000." The Michigan railroad commission will investigate the reported condition as regards the Pere Marquette, so far as their powers will allow, and will try to secure some redress for the road and Michigan coal users. Older Men 8ought As Army Officers. State military officers say that the next officers' training camps, which are to begin July 26, are not only seeking older men, but will get them—482 of them from Michigan. That is the state quota. Since war was declared there has been a stream of letters and telegrams to Adjutant-General Bersey from men, most of whom are past 86, who have se«>n some sort of service in the Spanish war, in Porto Rico, Cuba or the Philippines. There has been nothing that such men could be recommended for to date, but now that the government wants older men for the second camps, It is thought here that those who have offered their services first will again come to the front The new order makes special provision and especial mention of those who have offered their services. Although 44 is the general age limit for citizens who have no military connections, the age limit rises to 50 in cases where men are on the officers' reserve corns list aa created by a state, or where they show what the government chooses to call "remarkable adaptability." All arms of the service are to be filled by these older officers, although it 1* particularly specified in the orders that the cavalrymen will be trained dismounted aa Infantry. Most of the same regulations apply to the second camps aa to the ones now o n Pay at the rate of $100 is promised, although the government insists it would be better if the applicant bought his own uniform. Applications for this state must go to Fort Wayne at Detroit They can not be filed after July 15. New Guard Units Cannot Be Formed. No new units for the Michigan National Guard will be recognised by the war department until the units now in the guard shall be placed on a war strength and made properly efficient That in substance waa an order received hers by Adjutant-General Bersey regarding the newly-organised third battery of artillery in Tawing This means that extra units are to be acoepted only when all others are literally "up to snuff."

BUSINESS GOOD IN No Financial Depression, and None Since the War Began. A well-known correspondent of an Important Western daily paper recently made an extended visit to Western Canada, and in Humming up the results, after going thoroughly into conditions there, says there is no financial depression in Canada, nor has there been anything of the sort since the war began. Anyone who has watched the barometer of trade, and seen the bank clearings of the different cities grow and continue to grow will have arrived at the same conclusion. The trade statistics reveal a like situation. The progress that the farmers are making is highly satisfactory. As this correspondent says: "It is true there huve been adaptations to meet new conditions, und taxes have been revised, and that a very large burden of added expense in many lines has been assumed, but it has all been done methodically, carefully and with full regard for the resources to be called on. "That this has been done fairly and wisely is proved by the present comfortable financial position. "With the exception of a restricted area in the east, Canada is not an industrial country. The greater portion of the Dominion must be classed as agricultural area, with only an infinitesimal part of it fully developed. "Lacking complete development, the agricultural portion of Canada has naturally placed its main dependence upon fewer resources than would be the case in the States. Even in peace times, business would be subject to more frequent and wider fluctuations, due to the narrower foundation upon which It rests. "Thus, Canada has been able to come up to the war with efficiency and sufficiency and to maintain and even advance its civilian activities. "Canada's first element of financial strength lay In Its branch bank system. This system has two great advantages: it makes the financial resources of the Dominion fluid so that supplies of capital can run quickly from the high spots to the low spots; also, it places st the command of each Individual branch the combined resources of the whole institution so that there Is an efficient safeguard against severe strain at any one point. "Here in Winnipeg, the all-Canada banking houses maintain big, strong branches and, as elsewhere in the Dominion, these held to an attitude of saneness and solidity that prevented even the start of any financial disturbance. That business generally is now coming strong on an even keel is largely due to the absolute refusal of the banks, both branch and Independent, to exhibit the slightest signs of excitement or apprehensiveness. "For all Canada the Bavlngs bank figures are astonishing. Beginning with 1913, they are, for the fiscal year ending March SI: 1913 $622,928,968 1914 663,650,230 1915 683,761,432 1916 738,199,212 1917 888,765,698 "These figures represent what Canadians have put away after paying the increased living cost, which Is about the same as in the States, all increases in taxes and Imports of all kinds made necessary by the war and generous subscriptions to war bond issues. "Prohibition has helped greatly in keeping the money supplies circulating in the normal, necessary channels. Tradesmen generally attribute a large part of the good financial condition to the fact that the boose bill has been eliminated Canada takes law enforcement with true British seriousness. "Financially, as in every other respect, Canada has developed sufficiency. -She has done It in spite of initial condition* which would not look promising in the States and she has done It in a big, strong way. "One of the best things we did," said one of the leading Winnipeg bankers to me, "was to decide early in the game that we simply would not borrow trouble. "We started in ignorance of bow the war would develop and without knowing exactly what our resources w e n , and had to find the way. "And yet Canadians are not overburdened with taxes nor are they complaining of them. For the common people there has been bnt a alight tax Increase, if any. in a direct way. Indirect payments, of course, are made in the shape of higher prices tor Kvinf commodities, bnt the price sdvane* on such Items is no heavier than In tfe* States la the same period,"- T % "Pa, what is a pntrtotr "A patriot ay boy, if mm **» thinks a little more of ku he does of his personal ">:tf V«~vV : • > ; • « . vol aaia«fr>«t-~:** • " • • ^ • • • • • • K n l f c * — " v^:-x' wRap^y^w^ V PINCKNEY DISPATCH /•or /W/«* AMtnfr/, 5« - pinckney D ^ p a t c h 0/v Jf. 7.

Trimming feet of horses Is one of the important factors In profitable horso production, according to Dr. C. W. McCampbell Kansas State Agricultural college. The colt's hoofs must be given constant attention from the time the colt is foaled until It reaches maturity. Even then they need considerable attent ion. Often during colt hood the feet are left to care for themselves. This neglect results in later life in many of the unsoundnesses common to horses' feet ana legs. tTnaodnaness that may be caused by lack of care when the horse is young are sldebones, ringbones, splints, bone spavins, bog spavins, corns and cracked hoofs. All the unsoundnesses tend to lower the value of the horse. The time to prevent any of them Is when the colt is young and his bones and tendons are yet plastic.

Taking advantage of the dreaam&.ker'b momentary absence from the room, Paloma continued In a whisper: MI wish you'd talk to dad and see what you make of him. He's absolutely—queer. Mrs. Strange seems to .have a peculiar effect on him. Why, It's almost as if—" "What?" "Well, I suppose Tm foolish, but— I'm beginning to believe In spells. You know, Mrs. Strange's husband is a sort of—necromancer." MHow Billy I" There was no further opportunity for words, as the woman reappeared at that instant; but a little later Alalre went in search of Blaze, still considerably mystified. As she neared the farm brildings, she glimpsed a man's figure hastily disappearing Into the barn. The figure bore a Buspicious resemblance to Blaze Jones, yet when she followed, he was nowhere to bo seen. "Mr. Jones lM Alalre called. She repeated Blaze's name several times; then something stirred. The door of a harness closet opened cautiously, and out of the blackness peered Paloma's father. He looked more owlish than ever behind his big, gold-rimmed spectacles. "What In the world are you doing In there?" she cried. Blaze emerged, blinking. He waa dusty and perspiring. "Hello, Miz Austin!" he saluted her with a poor assumption of breeziness. "I was flxin' some harness, but I'm right glad to see you." Alalre regarded him quizzically. "What made you hide?" she asked. "Hide? Who, me?" "I saw you dodge in here like a— gopher." Blaze confessed: "I reckoD I've got the willies. Every woman I see looks like that dressmaker." "Paloma was telling me about you. Why do you hate her so?" "I don't know 's I hate her, but her and her husband have put a Jinx on me. They're the worst people I ever see, Miz Austin/' "You don't really believe In such things r Blaze dusted off a seat for his visitor, saying: "I never did till lately, but now I'm worse than a plantation nigger. I tell you there's things in this world we don't sabe. I wish you'd get Paloma to fire her. I've tried and failed. I wish you'd tell her those dresses are rotten." "But they're very nice; they're lovely; and Fve Just been complimenting her. Now what has this woman done to y o u r It seemed impossible that a man of Blase Jdhes' character could actually narbor crude superstitions, and yet there was no mistaking his earnestness when he said: "I ain't sure whether she's to blame, or her husband, but misfortune has folded me to herself." **Howr "Well, Tm sick." "You don't look It" **I don*t exactly feel i t either, but 1 am. I don't sleep good, my heart's actin' up, I've got rheumatism, my stomach feels like Td swallowed something alive—" "You're smoking too much," Alalre affirmed, with conviction. But skepticism aroused Blaze's indignation. With elaborate sarcasm, he retorted: "I reckon that's why my best (team of mules ran away and dragged me through a ten-acre patch of grass burrs, eh? It's a wonder I wasn t killed. X reckon I smoked so much that I give a tobacco heart to the best three-year-old bull In my pasture 1 ' Wen, I smoked him to death, all right Probably it was nicotine polsonin' that killed twenty acres of my cotton, too; and maybe if IM cut out tobacco Td hare floated that bond issue on the Irrigation ditch. But I was wedded to cigarettes, so my banks are closln' down on me, Sure! That's what a n a n gets for smokin'." "And do you attribute all these misfortunes to Paloma's dressmaker?" Th* man nodded gloomily. "That atnt haif! Ererythlng goes wrong. Tm scared to pack a weapon for fear r n lajtra myself.

Why, he knows who fetched back Ricardo Guzman's body 1 He told me so." "Really?" Alalre looked up quickly, then the smile left her face. After a moment she said, "Perhaps he could tell me something I want to know?" "No, don't you get him started," Bluze cautioned, hastily, "or he'll put a spell on you like he did on me." "I want to know what Ed had to do with the Guzman affair." Blaze shook his head slowly. "Well, he's mixed up somehow with Lewis. Dave thinks Tad was at the bottom of the klllln', and be hoped to prove it on him ; but our government won't do anything, and he's stumped for the time beln'. I don't know any more about Ed's dealln's than you do, Miz Austin; all I know Is that I got a serpent In my household and I can't get shed of her. I've got a lapful of troubles of my own." "This Is too occult for me," she declared, rising. "But—I'm Interested in what you say about Mr. Strange. If the Mexicans tell him so much, perhaps he can tell me something. I do hope you have no more misfortunes." "You stay to supper," Blaze urged hospitably. "I'll be In as soon as that tarantula's gone." But Alalre declined. After a brief chat with Paloma, she remounted Montrose and prepared for the homeward ride. At the gate, however, she met Dave Law on his new mare, and when Dave had learned the object of her visit to Jonesville he insisted upon accompanying her. It was early dusk when they reached Las Mimas; it was nearly midnight when Dave threw his leg across his saddle and started home. Alaire's parting words rang sweetly in his ears: "This has been the pleasantest day I can remember." The words themselves meant little, but Dave had caught a wistful undertone in the speaker's voice, and fancied he had seen in her eyes a queer, halffrlghtened expression, as of one Just awakened. Jose Sanchez had beheld Dave Law at the Las Palmas table twice within a few days. He spent this evening laboriously composing a letter to his friend and patron. Gen. Luis Longorio. CHAPTER XV. An Awakening. Time was when Phil Strange boasted that he and his wife had played every fairground and seaside amusement park from Coney Island to Galveston. In his battered wardrobe trunks were parts of old costumes, scrapbooks of clippings, and a goodly collection of lithographs, some advertising the supernatural powers of "Professor Magi, Sovereign of the Unseen World," and others the accomplishments of "Mile. Le Garde, Renowned Serpent Enchantress," In these gaudy portraits of "Magi the Mystic" no one would have recognized Phil Strange. And even more, difficult would it have been to trace a resemblance between Mrs. Strange and the blond, bushy-headed "Mile. Le Garde" of the posters. Nevertheless, the likenesses at one time had been considered not too flattering, and Phil treasured them as evidences of imperishable distinction. But the Stranges had tired of public life. For a long time the wife had confessed to a lack of interest in her vocation which amounted almost to a repugnance. Snake-charming, she had discovered, was far from an ideal profession for a woman of refinement It possessed unpleasant features, and even such euphemistic titles as "Serpent Enchantress** and "Reptilian Mesmerist" failed to rob the calling of a certain odium, a suggestion of vulgarity in the minds of the more discriminating. This had become so distressing to Mrs. Strange's finer sensibilities that she had voiced a yearning to forsake the platform and pit for something more congenial, and finally she had prevailed upon Phil to make a change. The step had not been taken without misgivings, but a benign Providence had watched over the pair. Mrs. Strange was a natural seamstress, and luck had directed her and Phil to a community which was not only in need of a good dressmaker but peculiarly ripe for the talents of a soothsayer. Phil, too, had intended to embrace a new profession; but he had soon discovered that Jonesrllle offered better financial returns to a man of his accepted gifts than did the choicest of seaside concessions, and therefore he had resumed his old calling under a slightly different guise. Before long he acknowledged himself well pleased with the new environment for his wife was far happier In draping dress goods apon the figures of her customers than hanging python folds about her own, and he found his own fame growing with every day. His medlumistic gifts came Into general demand. The country- people Journeyed miles to consult him, and Blase Jones' statement that they confided in the fortune-teller as they would have confided la a priest was scarcely an exaggeration Phil did indeed become the repository for confessions of many sorts. Contrary to Blaze's belief, however. Strange was no Prince of Darkness, and took Utile Joy In some of the secrets forced upon him. Phil was a good man in his way—so conscientious that certain information he acquired weighed him down with a sense of unpleasant responsibility. Chancing to meet Dave Law one day, he determined to relieve himself of at least one troublesome burden. But Dave was not easily approachable. He met the medium's allusions to the occult with contemptuous amusement, nor would he consent to a private "reading." Strange grew almost desperate enough to speak the ungarnished truth. "You'd better pay a little attention to me," he grieved; "I've got a message to you from the 'Unseen World.* " "Charges 'collect,' I reckon," the Ranger grinned. Strange waved aside the suggestion. "It came unbidden, and I pass it on for what it's worth." As Dave turned away, he added, hastily, "It's about a skeleton in the chaparral, and a redhaired woman." Dave stopped; he eyed the speaker curiously. "Go on," said he. But a public street. Strange explained, was no place for psychic discussions. Dave agreed. When they were alone in the fortune-telling "parlor," he sat back while the medium closed his eyes and prepared to explore the Invisible. After a brief delay Phil began : "I see a great many things—that woman I told you about and three men. One of 'em is you, the other two is Mexicans. You're at a water hole in the mesquite. Now there's a shooting scrape; I see the body of a dead man. And now the scene changes. Everything dissolves. I'm in a mansion ; and the red-haired woman comes toward me. Over her head floats a skeleton—" Dave broke in crisply. "All right 1 Let's get down to cases. What's on your mind, Strange?" The psychic simulated a shudder— a painful contortion, such as anyone might suffer if rudely Jerked out of the spirit world. "Eh? What was I—? There I You've broke the connection," be declared. "Did I tell you anything?" "No. But evidently you can." "I'm sorry. They never come back.** "Rot 1" Phil was hurt Indignant With some stiffness he explained the danger of Interrupting a seance of this sort but Law remained obdurate. "You can put over that second-sight stuff with the greasers," he declared, sharply, "but not with me. So, Jose Sanchez has been to see you and you want to warn me. Is that It?" "I don't know any such party,** Strange protested. He eyed his caller for a moment; then with an abrupt change of manner he complained: "Say, Bo 1 What's the matter with you? Tve got a reputation to protect and I do things my own way. I*m getting set to slip you something, and you try to make me look like a sucker. Is that any way to act?" "1 prefer to talk to you when your eyes are open. I know all about—** "You don't know nothing about anything," snapped the other. "Jose's got It in for Mrs, Austin." "You said you didn't know him.** "Weil, I don't He's never been to see me In his life, but—his sweetheart has. Rosa Morales comes regular." "Rosa 1 Jose's sweetheart!" "Yes. Her and Jose have joined out together since you shot Panfllo, and they're framing something.** "What for instance r The fortune-teller hesitated. **I only wish I knew,** he said slowly. "It looks to be like a killing.** Dave nodded. "Probably is. Jose would like to get me, and of course the girl—" "Oh, they don't aim to get you. You aint the one they're after." "No? Who, t h e n r "I don't know nothing definite. In this business, you understand, a fellow has to put two and two together. All the same, I*m sure Jose ain't earring no epitaph for you. From what Tve dug out of Rosa, he's acting for a third party—somebody with pull and a lot of coin—but who it is I don't know. Anyhow, he's cooking trouble for the Austins, and I want to stand from under." Now that the speaker had dropped all pretense, he answered Dave's questions without evasion and told what he knew. It was not much, to Dave's way of thinking, but it was enough to give cause for thought and when the men finally parted it was with the understanding that Strange would promptly communicate any further Intelligence on this subject that came his way. On the following day Dave's duties called him to Brownsville, where court was in session. He had planned to leave by the morning train; but as he continued to meditate orer Strange's words, he decided that before going, he ought to advise Alsire of the fellow's suspicions In order that the might discharge Jose 8ancben and In other ways protect herself against his one that could not well be talked by telephone, Dave determined to go In person to Las Palmas that evening. Truth to say, he was hungry to see Alalre. By this time he had almost ceased to combat the feeling she aroused in him, and It was In obedience to an Impulse far stronger than friendly anxiety that he hired a machine and, shortly after dark, took the river road. The Fates are malicious Jades. They delight In playing ill-natured pranks upon us. Not content with spinning and measuring and cutting the threads of our lives to suit themselves, they must also tangle the skein, causing us to cut capers to satisfy their whims. At no time since meeting Alalre had Dave Law been more certain of his moral strength than on this evening; ut no time had his grip upon himself eeemed firmer. Nor had Alalre the least reason to doubt her self-control. Dave, to be sure, had appealed to her fancy and her Interest; in fact, he so dominated her thoughts that the Imaginary creature whom she called her dream-husband had gradually taken on his physical likeness. But the Idea that she was in any way enamored of him had never entered his mind. In such wise do the Fates amuse themselves. Alalre had gone to her favorite afterdinner refuge, a nook on one of the side galleries, where there was a wide, swinging wicker couch; and there, in a restful obscurity fragrant with flowers, she had prepared to spend the evening with her dre&ms. She did not hear Dave's automobile arrive. Her first IntimaStac of his presence came with the souori of his heel upon the porch. When he appeared, it was almost like the materialization of her uppermost thought— quite as if a figure from her fancy hud stepped forth full-clad. She rose and met him, smiling. "How did you know I wanted to see you?** she Inquired. Dave took her hand and looked dorvn at her, framing a commonplace reply. But for some reason the words lay unspoken upon his tongue. Alaire's Informal greeting, her parted lips, the welcoming light In her eyes, had sent them flying. It seemed to him that the dim half-light which Illumined this nook emanated from her face and her person, that the fragrance which came to his nostrils was the perfume of her breath, and at the prompting of these thoughts all bis smothered longings rose as If at a signal. As mutinous prisoners in a Jail delivery overpower their guards, so did Dave's long-repressed emotions gain the upper hand of him now, and so swift was their uprising that he could not summon more than a feeble, panicky resistance. The awkwardness of the pause which followed Alaire's Inquiry strengthened the rebellious Impulses within him, and quite unconsciously his friendly grasp upon her fingers tightened. For her part as she saw this sudden change sweep over him, her own face altered and she felt something within her breast leap into life. No woman could have failed to read the meaning of his sudden agitation, and, strange to sayw It worked a similar state of feeling in Alalre. She strove to control herself and to draw away, but Instead found that her hand had answered his, and that her eyes were flashing recognition of his look. All in an Instant she realised how deathly tired of her own struggle she had become, and experienced a reckless impulse to cast away all restraint and blindly meet his first advance. She had no time to question her yearnings; she seemed to understand only that this man offered her rest and security; that In his arms lay sanctuary. To both it seemed that they stood there silently, hand in hand, for a very long time, though in reality there was scarcely a moment of hesitation on the part of either. A drunken, breathless Instant of uncertainty, then Alalre was on Dave's breast and his strength, his ardor, his desire, was throbbing through her. Her bare arms were about his neck; a sigh, the token of utter surrender, fluttered from her throat She raised her face to his and their lips melted together. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Life In Sicily Odd Mixture, The cities of Sicily deserve to be seen and described, each for itself. Palermo with its beautiful harbor, Taormlna with its ruins and fountains, little Giardlna, each of them is shrouded In history, radiant with the soft beauty of ripe age.

COOPER TO PROVE HIS FAMOUS THEORIES Renowned Lecturer and Scientist Will Prove Famous Health Theories—Man Who Electrified Larger Gties to Give People of This Section Benefits of Study and Medicine — Many Thousands are Benefitted. AS WAS announced in last week's papers, Mr. L. T. Cooper, the Millionaire Philanthropist who electrified the larger cities of the country with his demonstration of practical philanthropy, health theories and celebrated medicine, Tanlac, has been invited to viait Detroit and other Michigan citiea. Thousands of the most prominent people io St. Loula, Cincinnati, Dallas, Memphis, Atlanta, Birmingham, Louisville, Nashville and even the Larger cities of the North and Bast, where his celebrated medicine has been accomplishing such remarkable results, are even more enthusiastic over Tanlac than Mr. Cooper himself. It is Mr. Cooper's theory that ninetenths of the diseases and ill-health of the average person is due to a catarrhal inflammation of the mucous membrane which produces faulty digestion and Improper assimilation of the food. In a recent interview, Mr. Cooper was asked if Tanlac would relieve Kidney trouble, Liver complaint and a dozen other ailments and in this connection, said: "As J have repeatedly said, my medicine acts directly on the mucous membrane, stomach and blood, expelling from them the Impurities and toxic poisons, and rendering to them a strong, healthy condition. "I am convinced that the stomach regulates the condition of the blood, and Is the fountainhead of health or disease, as the case may be. My medicine is Intended primarily for the regulation of the stomach and catarrhal inflammation, but ft Is no uncommon thing for persons who have used it to come to me and explain that it has relieved them of rheumatism and many other ailments not generally recognized as having their origin In stomach trouble. "Most of the so-called stomach, liver and kidney troubles," continued Mr. Cooper, "are due almost entirely to a catarrhal Inflammation of these organs and it is believed that Tanluc is the first actually direct specific therefor. "Catairh of the stomach, liver and kidneys Is the most frequent cause of dyspepsia and kidney disorders and a catarrhal condition of the nose and throat often leads to deafness. Frequently the lungs become diseased by the extension of the catarrhal inflammation by way of the bronchial tubes to the lung substance. The mental and physical state of the chronic catarrh sufferers Is indeed very unfortunate. far-reaching disease banishing, health compelling remedy of the age, and the phenomenal success the preparation has achieved throughout the country proves conclusively that my confidence in Tanlac is well placed. "The ingredients or medicinal elements which make Tanlac come from many remote sections of the earth— the Alps, the Pyrenees, Russian Asia, West Indies, mountain states near the Rocky Mountains, Mexico and Peru are among the points from which principal parts of the preparation are obtained. In the principal laboratory of the Cooper Medicine Co., Inc., under the efficient direction of a chemist of note, those medicinal herbs, roots and barks are assembled in the rough and painstakingly developed so as to attain that high standard of efficiency shown by the uniform preparation, Tanlac." The wonderful success which Tanlac has achieved seems almost incredible, as over Seven Million bottles have been sold and distributed since it was placed on the market, something over two years ago, and It is now selling at the phenomenal rate of approximately Five Million bottles per year. One retail firm, the Jacobs Pharmacy Company, of Atlanta, has sold at retail in their eleven Atlanta stores the astonishing total of 64,000 bottles within the past twelve months, breaking all records for the sale of a proprietary medicine In the same length of time. Memphis dealers and jobbers have sold 208,116 bottles since April, 1916. Texas dealers and jobbers have sold approximately Half a Million bottles within the past six months, and It is now the most widely talked of medi* cine in the world today. There is only one explanation for this Nation wide popularity and record breaking demand for Tanlac and that is very simple. The Inherent purity and wholesomeness of the medicine has confirmed it In the minds of the people and have made it a household word throughout America. The leading drug firms of Detroit and other cities in this section are enthusiastic over the wonderful success the preparation Is making and in only a few weeks time Tanlac will be placed on sale in every city, town, •Tanlac has overcome this condition village and hamlet throughont the In its roost obstinate stages, and the state of Michigan.

If the season is a dry one some of the plants in the garden will have to be watered if you want flowers from them. This is especially true of the dahlia. Use enough water to penetrate all the boll in which their roots grow, and see that it is kept moist Watering today and neglecting tomorrow or for a week to come Isn't the proper thing. Save the suds from wash day for this purpose. The soap In the water will benefit the plants. If there are some windows about the house where you would like to have some plants growing, and no provisions have been made for boxes for them, don't forego the pleasure because it seems to be late in the season. Use Coleus instead of flowering plants. A row of the yellow variety about the outside of the box with scarlet in the center, will make your window brilliant with color, and as these plants are of rapid growth you will not have to wait long for results. They will often be found more satisfactory than flowering plants, because their richly colored foliage will take the place of flowers, and it will be in evidence at all times; while few flowering plants will afford a constant show of color. The gray Centaurea and the orangeyellow Pyrethrum (Golden Feather) can be used with the scarlet and yellow varieties of Coleus, with fine effect. Don't be sparing of water on your window boxes. Ninety-nine cases of failure out of a hundred result from a lack of sufficient water. Being exposed to the air on all sides, evaporation takes place very rapidly. Apply water by the pailful instead of the bowlful, and there need be no failure to grow Just as good plants in the window box as in the garden beds. Be sure to apply substantial supports for the dahlias. If this is not done you will be likely to find them broken some morning after a sudden wind or a hard rainstorm. The stakesshould be at least four feet tall—allow an extra foot and a half for Insertion in the ground—and they should be an inch through and of good sound wood. Paint them a dull green and they will not be unpleasantly obtrusive. Tie the stalks to them with broad strips of cloth instead of strings. The latter will cut into the tender branches when they are whipped by the wind. Beds of geranium are exceedingly ornamental, provided they are kept In tidy condition. This can only be done by keeping flower-trusses picked off. If the faded flowers are allowed to remain I know of no plant that can take on a more unsightly, slovenly look. Of course all the buds In a truss do not develop at the same time, and one does not like to destroy undeveloped flowers, but the clusters can be made to look clean and attractive by pulling away from them all flowers that have passed their prime and taken on that draggled look whieh so detracts from the sightly appearance of everything else in the bed. Unless one has a great number of plants this can be done In a short time. The High Cost of Living and How to Reduce It—see ad on this page.—AdT. A man's soul is the measure of his usefulness.

ELGKSE A. bTCWK jute* of OUR RED CROSS IS RED CROSS NEEDS FUND NOT AIDING ENEMY NATIONS NOWADAYS 0"" '<" si00000,000 opens ! Throughout Country Patriotic Americans who have been helping the Red Cross have of late been making anxious inquiries as to whether the humanity and the neutrality of the Red Crone would constrain it to send food, medicines and hospital units to Germany. "I want to five to help our boys, and the stricken people of France and Belgium and Serbia," many a one has written in; "but I don't feel like doing anything if the Germans jet part of It." Americans need be under no apprehension. Not a cent of Red Cross contributions is going to Germany, or has gone there since the war was declared by the United States. General Pershing is now in Europe to convey to the kaiser Uncle Sara's compliments in the form of shells and American bayonets, but the Red Cross has no part In that except to care for such of General Pershing's men as may need care. The matter of sending Red Cross supplies to Germany was brought up in the recent Red Cross war council in Washington. Charles D. Norton, one of the members, answered inquiries thus: "The answer is exceedingly simple. We do not purpose to be tried for treason. We do not purpose to lend aid and comfort to our enemies. We mean to attend our own American Red Cross affairs." - Former President Taft. who la chair man of the executive committee, sapported this view. He said that when wounded Germans fell into the b a n t s of the American Red Cross they will get the same treatment as oar own men; hut that It would undoubtedly he treason to send supplies to Germany as we- did before we were forced into the war. 80 Americans can give freely, knowing that every cent Is for our own and our allies' wounded, and not for tine enemy. •- t New York and Chicago Will Give a1 Least $40.000,000—Every R»«lon Must Be Generous Now.

New York city; has promptly pledged itself to "raise! one-fourth of whatever sum is needed," ! and is now collecting the money. Chicago has been asked for something be j tween $5,000,000 and $10,000,060, the | levy based on population and credit rating. Mr. 0. B.

Mr. Towne hopes that the country will raise enough tr give the national organization its full $100,000,000 over and above what the chapters retain.

There were 207.7 ncree, and he reserved one-linlf acre, the ancient burial pround of the Gaillard family. The Gulf Production company was the purchaser, It owned oil leases on most of the farm from which Gaillard had been drawing a one-eiphth ruyalty since the Goose Creek oil field was opened several years ago. I^ast August gusher oil was discovered on the Gaillard place, and since then the proprietor, known as the "silent magnate of Goose Creek," has drawn a half million in royalties. It was to avoid the payment of these royalties that the oil company bought the farm outright John Gaillard is a man who speaVs only when necessary. He was born en the place forty-eight years ago. His father took up the land in the sarTy days of Texas. With wealth at Ms command, John Gaillard does not keep a telephone in the house. Hte wife likes the simple life as well as the hnsbai*!. Since 1907, when the flrst4boring for oil ac Goose Creek waa begun, John Gaihsrd has silently watched the development— and held on to his land. Hundreds of thousands of barrels have gusbid from the earth at Goose Creek since last August, and from every barrel the Gaillard family drew its royalty. If John Gaillard knows what to do with his money he is not telling any one. As one of bis neighbors remarked, "John doesn't need a gyar-deen."

Father Coyle One of the most beautiful soula that ever graced this world for seventyfive years went back to its maker, Thursday morning June 7th, when Mrs. Elizabeth Clinton, beloved mother of Mrs. Alex McCabe and Mrs. W. B. Watts, suddenly died at the residence of the former. She had pleaded for a year to be brought on a visit to Wyoming, and she was so happy because her wish had been granted. She came with Mrs. Watts on June 4th. In so short a time she endeared herself to many in Van Tassell. She leaves six daughters and ten grand-children to mourn her as a loving mother and an ideal woman, who, above al! else; trusted them. Almost her last words, spoken just before God called her, were, My girls would n >ver do a wrong or dishonorable deed." Two of her daughters and two of her grand-daughters are well known in Van Tassel—Mrs. Alex McCabe and daughter Genevieve, Mrs. W. B. Watts and P i n C k l i e y F o r m S B r a n C h j daughter Janettt. Her other daughters J I are Mrs. Clarence Conklin, N. Y. City, Of R e d CrOSS S o c i e t y ! M r 8 W m Kea™s,Chicago, Mrs. Wm.

Swarthout, Pres. Last Literary Program The Literary Society of the Pinckney High School has had a very successful year. Several programs have been put on during the year by students of the ecbool. Through the effort* of these people several copies of rare paintings have been placed in the school. Next Tuesday afternoon a short program will be given, at which time promotion cards will be given oat throughout the school. Supt Doyle will also f»short talk, "The part the High students play in the War". Last Monday evening a mass meeting was held in the opera house for the purpose of forming a branch of the the Red Cross Society in Pinckney. The principle speaker of the evening was unable to be present, however officers of the organization from Howell were present and thoroughly ex- j plained the workings of the society. Patriotic and instructive addresses i were delivered by Rev. Camburn, Rev. j Jones and Father Coyle. { These speeches, representing the various churches of the community, brought out very clearly, the duty of every Christian American citizen in regards to this great organization. Ihe people of Pinckney are to be congratulated upon their entrance into this great work, but in order to make it a success it is very necessary for every individual to co-operate and take an active part in the organization. Pinckney in the near futare should have at least 200 active members doing all in their power to push the interests of such a cause. It costs but one dollar to join the Red Cross and considering this small amount no one can weH afford to shirk their duty. The money collected will he spent in the interest of humanity much of it going at present, for the purpose of caring for the sick and wounded in the present war. The following people were selected as a committee to appoint officers and further the interests of the Red Cross work: Mrs. Jas. Green, Chairman Mrs. Jos. Doyle, Sec. Mrs. Tboa. Reid Mrs. H. Fick Mrs. W. Crofoot Norma Cdrlett Nellie Gardner Rev. Camburn Father Coyle J. P. Doyle James Kavanaugh, Jackson, Mich.— The Van Tassell Pioneer. Mrs. Clinton was an old resident of this place and well known here. The funeral services were held at St. Mary's church, Tuesday morning June 12th, burial at Pinckney cemtery. One Hundred Sixty Five Graduates A fine class of eigftth graders recieved their county diploma at Howell last week. The attendance was good and all report the annual graduating exercises a fine thing. Just a few words to the boys and girls. If you havent heard from your examination, whether you wrote seventh or eighth grade work, please let me know. In sending letters to so many boys and girls, some always fail to reach their destination. If you passed and did not receive your diploma in good condition, send to the office and get another. About twenty eight per cent of those writing failed to pass. Some had not had all the work, some had not worked hard enough and probably many other reasons. 1 hope if such is your case that you will work hard next year and be able to pass your examination with good standings. Do work that will be satisfactory to you and a credit to your teacher and to your school. Hugh G. Aldrich, Commissioner.

FOR NEW REGIMENT FORESTERS ARE TO BE RECRUITEO AND 8ENT ACROSS TO HELP FRANCE. THEIR WORK IS IMPORTANT Will Give Vital Aid to the Engineer* In Rebuilding and Maintaining the Line* of Communication—Part of Regular Army. By EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington.—Uncle 8am will send a regiment of foresters to France, men hardened to the service of field and flood and representing the best at Mother Nature's breed. It Is wholly within the range of possibilities that these trained woodsmen of the United States may turn the scale In some of the important operations of the war. It will be the duty of these experts of the forest service of the Doited States to "get out" material necessary for trenches, bridges, railroads and other construction work of vital importance not only to the fighting line, but to the means of keeping it supplied. The foresters will be as much a part of the military force of the United States as any other unit that we send save only that the men will be armed with the implements of their calling. They will not fight, but they must at times- run the dangers of those who do fight. Some of the foresters who will go are engineers, but the actual work of rebuilding the railroads which feed the fighting lines and the bridges which make the advances over rapid running streams possible will be the duty of the engineering detachments of the United States army. The foresters, however, will get out and supply the tested material for the use of their engineer brethren. The foresters who go into a wood like that of Bois le Pretre on the west front, which dally is shell-pounded, will know what It Is to risk their lives for the cause of democracy. French Railroads Have Suffered. Concerning the condition of the means of rail communication in France at the present time this was written today: "The French railroads, like those of Germany, have Buffered terribly from the neglect imposed by the use of men on the firing lines. The German railroads have suffered most, perhaps, because of the lack of lubricating oils, a want of which has played havoc with their rolling stock. "However this may be, the French cannot properly care for their railways without taking men who are vitally necessary for the defense of the country. The railroads which provide important avenues of communication between the base and the front for the movement of troops and supplies cannot be neglected without seriously endangering operations against the enemy. The engineers, the railway men and the foresters who will be sent to France by Uncle Sam will solve the gravest problem which has confronted the battling republic." The new forestry regiment will be commanded probably by a colonel of tho regular army, or by a Junior of the service promoted temporarily to the rank of colonel who will have with him a few other officers of the regular establishment to keep the organisation in military trim and charged with the military spirit The men of the regiment will act in co-operation with the French foresters. "Cold 8teel" In Warfare. A day or two ago an order was issued, or an intimation was given that it was to be issued, that the recruits of the new American army would be taught the British bayonet drill instead of that which has been in use in the American armies for a good many years. The reason is quite, plain. The lessons of the present war, in which there has been an Immense amount of hand-to-hand fighting, have taught the British that new feints and cuts and thrusts "with the bayonettipped rifle are an essential to success. The war has brought a good many changes in fighting methods, and the change in the use of the bayonet has not been the least of them. "Field guns and the bayonet win win the war for America and for its aXUea." This is the word frequently spoken by t i n y men In Washington. Of course, it takes no thought of the possibility of success of the German subssartne campaign, nor of the possibility of a great German naval victory, for these two results, vital from the German point of flew, art considered so rssjniii of accomplishment that they do not enter Into the military man's have won many a trench aiid uuany e hand-to-hand conflict In tht open by the use of the bayonet. Bayonets are gruesome weapons, but they quickly put an end to an opponent's ambition to fight if he finds that he is outpointed by his adversary In the use of this particular Implement of warfare. When the present war began an American who had seen service In the regular army, and who during the time had been instructor of recruits, said that Boon reports would begin to come In that the German troops did not "like the bayonet." The German army drove its way into France and there was comparatively little opportunity for a few weeks to Judge of the comparative merits of the men of the opposing armies as bayonet fighters. After the battle of the Marne hand-tohand fighting became more common, and as the British and the French advanced the bayonet came more and more into use. The prediction of the American soldier was borne out Frequent cable messages said: T h e Germans do not like the bayonet" It is only due to an enemy to say that the German is just as brave as any other fighting man. The reason for his dislike of the bayonet is that he has been trained to fight, not as an Individual, but as part of a machine. Why Germane Dislike It The man who in the American army had instructed recruits in the bayonet exercise gave his reasons for saying that the German would be found to be "shy" when bayonet met bayonet. He said that in the day that be taught recruits in the American army there were no restrictions on enlistments except physical restrictions, and that among men entering the service were many recently landed Germans who had served their time in the army of the empire. It was found that It was difficult to teach the German recruits the use of the bayonet so that they could handle the weapon with the lightninglike speed that the man of virtually every other nation could handle i t The German was always a fraction of a second late. He came to "a guard" without any of the litheness of the men of other nationalities, and while he feinted and thrust and lunged perfectly so far as movement was concerned, there was an appreciable slowness about the thing which would be deadly in conflict. France's Cell for Men. From the Instant that war was declared between the United States and Germany, American officers of the younger and moro active ranks have urged the necessity of sending troops quickly to France. It is believed that If the original plan of high army officers had been adhered to, American troops except for some few engineer detachments would not have been sent to Europe for many months. The view of the younger officers of the American service, Indorsed as it was by General Joffre and unquestionably also by the president, brought D change in plan, although of course it Is not known definitely, nor will It be published when it is known, Just how quickly large forces of American soldiers will be sent to the fighting line. Here Is a copyrighted and authorized cable in the New York Times from Wythe Williams: "France always has kept the number of her losses to herself. She now says quite openly that she needs men. The Germans are still terribly strong, and It is therefore to America that she is looking to help her strike harder than ever at the Teuton's battle line and smash it" Relies on America. This indirect appeal for men which has Just come from France seemingly Is indorsed by General Petain. The disclosure of the French army's need for men to drive home victory probably would not be made unless it was thought that the appeal would be answered by the American army authorities. France never has allowed it to be known prior to this time that her armies stand in need of re-enforce* ments to enable the republic to carry home the blows which it has been delivering for months. The situation in France, it is held In Washington, makes it imperative that there be speeding up in the training of our oversea forces. It seems certain that the early predictions made that regulars and National Guardsmen would be sent to the front much more quickly than anyone had supposed will be borne out but the main proposition concerns itself with the great national army which early in September in detachments will go Into the training GERMANS UNABLE TO STOP FOE'S ADVANCE Enemy Disorganized by Fierce Attack of Allies.

The Germans, though apparently aware that the blow was coming and seemingly prepared to meet it were driven from their nearly three years' bold on Messines ridge, opposite "poor old" ypres. Ypres In a sense was avenged today, for Messines ridge has been the vantage point from which the Germans have poured torrents of shells into the stricken city. The British also wiped off an old score against the Germans, for they held the ridge In October, 1914, and with very thin forces, and virtually no artillery, fought bloodily but vainly to hold it when the Prussian troops massed their modern and overpowering weapons of war against it Prisoners taken declared that the bombardment of Vimy ridge was child's play compared with the gunfire turned upon Messines ridge. Artfllery Fire Devastating. This fire reached its climax jnst as dawn was graying the eastern skies and while the full moon was still suspended high in the heavens. The attack was accompanied by all the arts and deviltries of latter-day war. The enemy guns and gun crews had been bathed for days In gas shells sent over by the long-range British guns. The night was filled with red incendiary flames. Shells that spurted lead in streams crashed In appalling numbers about the heads of the defending soJdlers. High-explosive and shrapnel fire was carried out with such rapidity that the earth writhed under the force of the attack. Mines that had taken two years to dig and fill with an overwhelming explosive broke Into an avalanche of flaming destruction in the half light of dawn. This was indeed an Ypres day of retaliation and victory for the vicious sufferings of two years and eight months. Superfluous Clothing Discarded. It was a day of intense heat, and the gunners worked stripped to the waist The attack went forward with clocklike regularity. The British casualties were slight Three out of four of the casualties were reported to be walking cases, who would return to duty In a few days. The attack began at dawn, and the setting was as picturesque as can well be imaginable. The day before had been hot and sultry. Toward evening there was a series of thunder storms which extended well into the night the lightning mingling with the flashes of the guns, but the thunder being virtually unnoticed amid the din of the cannon. A full moon struggled continuously to break through the clouds. Sing on Way to Fight On the way to the front were all the familiar pictures of the war—endless trains of motor trucks; all varieties of horse transport the British soldiers marching to battle light of heart and singing songs familiar in every American community. From the German line the same lazy, looping rocket signals were ascending to illuminate the treacherous bit of ground between the trenches known as No Man's Land. This nightly "straffing" had been going on so long that the enemy considered it entirely normal and took no alarm. Occasionally blue and yellow rockets would be flung into the air by Germans holding the front line. Like Volcanoes fn Eruption, Day was scarcely breaking when from the dimly visible ridge a score of fiery volcanoes seemed suddenly to spring from the earth. The night had been filled with strange noises and stm stranger sights, but these masses of name, leaping from the ground, had a meaning all their own. They were the spectacular outward and visible evidences of more than a minion pounds of high explosives which had hurled deep in mines below tne my*s positions for months. AD the world appeared lurid and horrible under the sinister glow. The earth shook as If torn by a great nets- It wan not a of the aetaaOy net the earth rocklne; to and ft*, and under the Influence of the ts roar from Cat It hue seemed that the buttle of the Sonime attained the ultimate in the close assembly of war weapons, but this sudden outpouring on Messinec ridge was beyond all calculation. The lighter field guns far forward set up u perfect curtuin tire, under which the assaulting troops trudged confidently to their allotted goals. Farther back the deep-throated heavies began to pour out torrents of high explosive shells on the German trenches and communications, while still other guns —enough to win any ordinary battle— confined themselves solely to the task of deluging German guns and gunners in baths of gas fired In shells of every conceivable caliber. The effect of this counter battery work was not appreciated until latei in the day, when the infantry sent back word that their progress had not been hampered by the enemy artillery and that their casualties amounted to virtually nothing. Enemy 8tgnale for Help. Great black observation balloons had stolen skyward during the din of the newly begun battle. In the wood back of the windmill spring birds, awakened by the deafening clamor, had begun to sing Joyously. Like so many children who have come into the consciousness of being In the midst of the war, these birds regarded the appalling noise of the battle as a normal condition of life. The smoke of the giant mines exploded along the battle front meantime rose in great, curling plumes toward the sky and was punctuated by red signals for help from the stricken Germans in the front and support lines. Never was the air filled with more frantic notices of danger.. The entire horizon glowed with red balls of fire sent up by the nervous Germans. More and more British airplanes began to make their appearance. One flew over the lines, the flashes of the guns being reflected brilliantly on its highly glazed wings. Under this appalling fire trudged forward on the ten-mile front General Plunder's army. At many places the men found German troops utterly dazed by the mine explosion and the ordeal of the artillery fire. Get Idea of Real Warfare. Many of these troops had but recently come from Russia, where they had spent 18 months and knew nothing of what actual warfare was like on the western front. They had bolted at the first mine explosion and had only been gathered together in groups by their noncommissioned officers when the British appeared out of the smoke and shells and made them prisoner. They said they had been given to understand by their officers that the British always killed their prisoners. It was really pitiful in some instances to see the manner In which these prisoners cringed to their captors. As a matter of fact, the British soldier, when the fighting is done, is inclined almost too strongly to treat the German prisoners as pals. Some of the prisoners taken today had only gone into the German lines last night and had made their way forward under a galling fire and had lost heavily. But the troops already In the line were calling for relief in such a manner that their appeals could not be denied. German Commanders st Fault In view of the fact that the attack had been expected the German commanders were endeavoring to get their best units actually into the fighting front but had underestimated when the British would strike. The troops in a strange line were utterly bewildered when the attack began and fell easy prey to the advancing British. The battle was far more visible during the first uncertain moments than later when the sun gradually burned its way through the eastern banks of clouds. By that time the smoke of exploding shells and the vapors from the blinding barrage, which had been part of the artillery duty, obscured the more distant landscape to such an extent that the roaring guns could not be seen at all, although the firing was almost at one's feet The brilliantly leaping shrapnel shells, breaking far above ground, appeared through a thick mist only as brief and brilliant electric sparks. German Airships Outclassed. For a month past but especially since June 1, the airplanes on this front have been indefatigably st work during every possible flying hour. They had brought down nearly 50 machines In six days as a means of blinding the enemy. Lately the Qermanshave endeavored valiantly to obtain airplane observations for their artillery, but their observing machines have seldom been able to direct more than one or two shots before the British fighting scoots had pounced upon them and either sent them crashing to the earth or had driven them to cover at breakneck speed. Today the British planes flew far and long over the enemy's retreating linen and were only challenged by some •ery bsd-sbootlng anti-aircraft batteries. AH through the day British planes ruled the air.

IRON, STEEL AND MEAT LEAD Value of Autos and Parts Amounts to About Twice the Value of Horace and Mules Shipped. (By W. L. CALNON.) T joining. According to figures just compiled the exports from Michigan for the month of April again established a high record. The total value was $29,- 847,133, an increase of $3,230,000 over the highest previous total and of $12,- 300,000 over the total for April, 1916. Iron and steel and the manufactures thereof again lead with about 40 classes, representing a total of $8,021,- 062. Meat products came next with a total of $5,864,990, of which $3,618,- 100 is in hog products and $2,097,334 is beef in various forms. There were 64 commercial automobiles sent abroad with an average value of $1,314 each and 1,362 passenger cars with an average of $693. The total value of automobiles and parts was $2,156,057. This is about twice the value of the horses and mules shipped, there being 5,409, the former valued at $949,503 and 635 of the latter figuring up to $127,000. BreadBtuffs figured up to $2,003,492, of which $1,710,905 was In corn and cornmeal and $168,991 in rye. Other food products were represented by $448,931 in fruits, mostly from California and $430,823 in vegetables, largely beans and peas. Of metals and their manufactures other than iron and steel, there were the following, mostly, It is to be presumed, for war uses: Brass, $1,271,- 416; copper, $87,905, a much smaller amount than usual; lead, $^20,728 and zinc, $396,110. The other classes lhat have over half a million each are: Chemicals, drugs, dyes and medicines, $716,210; coal and coke, $763,587; raw cotton and cotton goods, $742,944; oils $1,- 472,194, of which over half is cottonseed oil; wood and manufactures thereof $793,456. Food City Selected As Camp Site. The cantonment camp site for the Michigan-Wisconsin division of the new national army will be at Battld Creek, accordinlg to a dispatch from Washington. General Barry, commander of the central department had forwarded the recommendation of this site to the war department. Approximately 30,000 men will be called ito service from the two states and put in training there September l B t An idea of what this means to Michigan and to Battle Creek in particular can be obtained from the fact that it requires 4,000 carloads of lumber and materials to build the cantonment. One and two-story barracks will be built. After the first incremet of soldiers is called into service and trained a second increment will be called oaf next March. Bad Egga Must Not Be sold. Notice has been Berved by state and federal officials on all producers and dealers in eggs that all the laws regulating the production and sale of this food will be strictly enforced this summer throughout the state. Fred L. Woodworth, state food and dairy commissioner, will co-operate with the federal authorities In enforcing the federal law, which provides that no case may be placed on sale that contains more than 18 decayed eggs. "The most Important phase of the entire situation Is the disposal of rotten eggs," said Mr. Woodworth.

Ahead loomed the dark ridge of the river thickets, a dense rampart of mesquite. But even before they were sheltered from the moonlight Paloma saw the lights of another automobile approaching along the main-traveled highway behind them—the lights, evidently, of Tad Lewis' machine. A moment later Alaire's car drove into the black shadows. It had been a short, swift, exciting ride. "Young Ed's" runabout could not be many minutes ahead of them. The women got out, then breasted the high grass and brambles between their hiding place and the pumphouse road. A hundred yards away they could now see the ghostly Bio Grande, Its saffron surface faintly silvered by the low moon; lights gleamed from the windows of Morales' house. In the distance the vague outlines of the Mexican shore were resolving themselves, and far beyond twinkled the evidence that some belated citizens of Romero were still awake. Paloma had brought with her the long-barreled rifle, and this she clutched nervously as she and Alaire stood whispering. Conditions were favorable for an approach to the pumphouse itself. They had nearly reached their goal when out Into the clearing behind them, with metallic rattle and clang, burst another automobile, and Paloma whispered excitedly. "There's the Lewis outfit at last." In the Lewis car were several men. fThey descended hurriedly, and when tone of them ran around the front of the car to turn off Its lights, both women saw that he carried a rifle. Evidently Tad Lewis had come prepared for desperate measures. A small door gav* entrance to the pumphouse, and into the lock of this Mrs. Austin fitted a key; the next moment she and Paloma were safely inside. Dusty, cobwebbed windows let In a faint ghost-glow of moonlight, but prevented clear observation of anything outside; Alaire's fumbling fingers found the latch and began to lift a window, when someone spoke, just outside the building. "What did you discover?" inquired a voice which neither woman recognized. Paloma clutched blindly for her companion; the two eavesdroppers stood rooted in their tracks. The pounding of their hearts sounded loudly. Since the building was little more than a wooden shell, they could plainly the answer: houwe is full of greasers. I can't tell who they are." A third man spoke, this time In Spanish. "That was Tad Lewis who just came, senor." There followed some whispered words Indistinguishable to the listeners, then a rustle of bodies moving through the tall grass and weeds. Paloma placed her lips close to Alaire's ear. "Who are those people r the breathed. "I don't know. They must be the ones who came in that strange automobile." Paloma chattered viciously: "Everybody in Texas is here. I wish we'd thought to scatter tacks behind us." Cautiously they swung the door back and looked out The open space along the river beak was leveled by the saoonllght; from Morales' house, to their right came the sound of voices* • few momenta, then a number of appeared.

I it* FOLLOWING DISCOVERY BY ED AUSTIN AND GENERAL LONGORIO THAT DAVE LAW AND BLAZE JONES ARE RETURNING FROM MEXICO WITH GUZMAN'S BODY, CLASHING FORCES GO TO THE RIVER— PALOMA AND ALAIRE LOOK ON SYNOPSIS—Aire. Alaire Austin ia the handsome young Laistress of Las Pttlmas ranch in Texas and La Feria ranch la Mexico. She dislikes her husband, who 1» a brutal, profligate, lecherous drunkard, but she feels a strong sympathy for David Law, state ranger, when she discovers accidentally that he loves her hopelessly. There la trouble between Mexicans and Americans along the border. Law disco vera that Austin Is leagued with American horse thieves und Mexican rebels, among them Tad Lewis, who ia uriGer suspicion. Law kills a horse thief. When Law's friend, Ricardo Guzman, goes to the Mexican side to collect money due him, he is murdered by the Lew!* gang because he can give Incriminating testimony against them. Law and Blaze Jones go to the Mexican side to get Guzman's body secretly. Mrs. Austin and Paloma Jones, Blaze's daughter, are preparing to give them aid on their return to the American side when Gen. Luis Longorlo, an odious admirer of Mrs. Austin, comes to call. Ed Austin and Longorlo learn of the Jones-Law expedition. Tad Lewis is warned and his gang and Longorio's meet at the river to kill the friends of Guzman. "Eh? What are you talking about? My car is over by Morales' house." "Senor Austin Is in a great hurry," sneered someone in Spanish. "Once more he leaves all of the fighting to his friends." "That's Adolfo Urblna," panted Paloma. "I know him." Stung by this open charge of cowardice, Austin began a voluble defense, but in the midst of It General Longorlo addressed him sharply. "You will stay here, senor. Nobody leaves this place." MI told you I wouldn't be a party to the business," Ed declared hotly. "You forced me to come in the first place—" "Yes! And now I force you to stay." Longorio's stand appeared to please Lewis, who chimed in with the words: "That's right, Ed. You've got to stick, for once in your life." "What do you mean, yon nearly ran into my car back yonder?" Austin asked after a moment "Ain't that your machine yonder by the thicket V inquired Lewis. "If It ain't, whose Is It?" As no one answered, he started in the direction he had Indicated; but at that moment a man came running from the river bank, crying softly: "Look out! They come." A man passed swiftly by the crack of the half-opea door and scarcely ten feet beyond. He was followed by three others. The first of the newcomers, acting as spokesman for his party, stepped out into the moonlight and cried loudly: "Hello, menl What's goln' on here?" It was an American voice; It had a broad, slow Texas drawl. The group of plotters turned; there was a startled murmur, then Tad Lewis answered: "Hello! Who are you! What do you want?" "I reckon we must have got off the road," announced the stranger. Then he peered out across the river. "Say! Ain't that a skiff yonder?" he Inquired. "Well, it don't look like a steamboat." Lewis laughed disagreeably. "We're havin* a little party of our own. I reckon you fellows had better bent I t Understand?" The outposts that had been sent to cover the bank In both directions were now coming ia. Through the stillness of the night there sounded the thump of oarlocks. Seeing that the stranger did not seem to take his hint, Lewis raised his voice menacingly: "That's your road back yonder. It's a right good road, and Td advise yon to travel fast" But this suggestion was also ignored; In fact, it appeared to amuse the man addressed, for he, too, laughed- He turned, and the women noticed that be carried a abort saddle gun. They saw, also, that at least one of the men at his back was similarly armed. "Now, what's the hurry?" The stranger was chuckling. Suddenly he raised his voice and called loudly: "Hello, Dare! Is that yon-allr The answer floated promptly back: -Hello. Cap t Sure If s u." "Hare yon got him?" It was Blast Jones' voice which answered this d o e : "Too betr Paloma Jones was trembling now. 8be dang* to Alaire, crying; thankfully: «It«s the Bangers! The Bangers T Then she oVoks away and ran out Into the moonlight trailing bar absurd firearm after bet. -Now, boys," the Banger captain was saying, *1 know 'most every one of you. and we aint going to bare rbe least bit of trouble over this thing, are we? I reckon yoneH are friends of Blcardo Guzman, and you just coukhVt wait to find out about htm, eh?" Alaire, who had followed Paloma, was dose enough now to recognise the two Qusman boys s s members of the Banger party. Lewis and bis men had drawn together at the first alarm; Longorio's Mexicans had gathered about their leader. The entire sitnatioa had changed in s moment, and the Itinger captain was la control of i t Soon Dave LAW and Blase Jeues up over the river bank; they tern with surprise at in* a score of people when than four. Blaze was the first to speak. "What's all this?" be cried. He peered nearsightedly from one to the other; then his huge bulk shook with laughter: "Say, do my glasses magnify, or is this an open lodge meetin'?" "Dad! Oh. dad!" Paloma scurried to him and flung herself into his arras. "What you doln' here, kid?" the father exclaimed. "Why, you'd ought to be home and abed, long ago. You'll catch your death of cold. Is that gun loaded V Dave Law was even more amazed than his companion. Recovering from his first surprise, he took a position beside his superior officer. Captain Evans did not seem at all troubled by the disparity in numbers. One Ranger, or two at the most, had always been sufficient to quell a Texan disturbance; now that there were three of them, he felt equal to an Invasion of Mexican soil, if necessary. In consequence, he relaxed his watchful vigilance, and to Dave he drawled: "We've got most of the leading cltisens of the county, and I reckon somebody In the outfit will be able to identify Guzman." "There's no trouble about that, sir. We found him. Pedro and Raoul can make sure." The sons of Ricardo Guzman stepped forward promptly, and Law waved them toward the boat landing, where the two helpers were waiting with Rlcardo's remains. Despite the Ranger captain's easy assumption of command, the strain of the situation had not subsided, and Longorlo drew swift attention to himself when he said : "It Is fortunate that I chanced to learn of this matter. You have done me a great service, Senor Law, for I came to Romero purposely to examine Into the death of this unfortunate man. But I could learn nothing; nobody knew anything whatever about the matter, and so I became convinced that It amounted to little. Now—behold I I discover that I was deceived. Or— perhaps there still may be a mistake." Blaze Jones thrust his daughter aside and advanced toward the speaker. "There's no mistake," he declared belligerently. "I don't make mistakes when I go grave-robbln*. Don Ricardo was shot by your men. He had five thousand dollars on him, or he should have had, and he was an American citizen. Your Colonel Blanco covered the body, but he'll have a h—1 of a Job coverin* the facts. It's time we came to a showdown with your murderin' outfit and I aim to see if you've got a government in your country." "Heaven guided my hand," devoutly breathed the general. "It Is regrettable that yon used this means when a word to me would have served the purpose, for—it Is no trivial matter to desecrate a Mexican graveyard. My country, it has a government. An officer of the state of Texas, under anna, has crossed the Bio Grande. What does that mean?" Captain Evans had a sense of humor; Longorio's ominous words amused him. H8ay, general it tint the first time,* he chortled. "And you're an officer, too, ain't youf You're in Texas at this minute, and m bet If I frisked you rd find that you was under The Mexican understood English dentty well to grasp the dgnfflrsuoa of these words. After a moment's "Very well," said he. "1 am Indebted to you. Since there ia nothing more to be said, apparently, I will return [o Romero." With a bow to Mrs. Austin, who had silently watched the play of these opposing motives, he turned away, und Tad Lewis followed hira. But Duve Law had recognized Adolfo Urblnu In the crowd, and, stepping forward, disarmed hlin, saying: "Adolfo, there's a warrant for you, so I'll Just take you In." For a moment Adolfo was Inclined to resist, but, thinking better of It, he yielded with bad grace, bitterly regretting the curiosity which had prompted him to remain to the end of this Interesting affair. Tad Lewis gave hlui some comfort. "Never mind. Adolfo," he said. "They can't prove anything on you, and I'll go your ball. Ed Austin knows where you was the day that stock was stole." He and his two remaining men moved toward their automobile, and a moment later the vehicle went clattering away up the thicket road. So ended the attempt to foil the return of Ricardo Guzman's body to Texas soil. When Alulre came to look for her husband, he was gone. CULTIVATE' CULTIVATE!

"However—perhaps one offense condones the other. At any rate, we must have no International eompUcatlona. There Is a more practical aide to the matter: If Don Ricardo Gunman met his death in Mexico, there win be a rigid investigation, I assure you." Evans agreed. "That's fair! And n i make a bargain with you: you keep still and toll we. We never aimed for this affair to get out, anyhow. I reckon these men**—he indicated Lewis and his followers—**aln*t Y liable to talk much.** The two Ousman boys, greatly moved, returned to announce that they had Identified their father's body, mad Longer!© could not well refuse to accept their evidence. i CHAPTER X!V. Superstitions and Certainties. The sensation caused by Ricardo Guzman's disappearance was as nothing to that which followed the recovery of his body. Whatever the facts of the rescue, it was generally recognized that the result had been to bring on a crisis in the affairs of the two nations. Strong influences, however, were at work to prevent that very outcome for which the people of Texas prayed. During the delay there arose a report that Ricardo Guzman h;id borne an evil reparation, and that he had been so actively associated with the rebel cause as to warrant punishment by the federal government. Moreover, a legal question as to his American citizenship was raised—a question which seemed to have important bearing upon the case. Public interest Is short-lived; few living men can hold It more than a day or two, and It reckons no dead man worthy of more than an obituary notice. Thus in the course of time the Guzman Incident was in a fair way of being officially forgotten and forgiven. But there were several persons who felt Intense relief at the course events had taken, and among these was Alaire Austin. In the days following that midnight expedition she had had ample time In which to meditate upon her husband's actions. It seemed probable that he had fled to San Antonio, there to remain until interest in the Guzman mctter had abated. Alaire telephoned Dave Law, arguing to herself that she must leorn more about her husband's connection with the Lewis gang. Dave arrived even sooner than she had expected. She made him dine with her, and they spent the evening on the dim-lit gallery. In the course of their conversation Alaire discovered that Dave, too, had a hidden side of his nature; that he possessed an Imagination, and with It a quaint, whimsical, exploratory turn of mind which enabled him to talk interestedly of many things and many places. On this particular evening he was anything but the man of Iron she had known—until she ventured to speak of Ed. Then he closed up like a trap. He was almost gruff in his refusal to say a word about her husband. Because of Ed's appropriation of the ranch cash, Alaire found it necessary a few days later to go to the bank, and, feeling the need of exercise, she rode her horse Montrose. When her errands had been attended to, she suddenly decided to call on Paloma Jones. It was years since she had voluntarily done such a thing; the very Impulse surprised her. Paloma. It happened, was undergoing that pT""**' form of feminine torture known as "fitting;" but insecurely basted, pinned and tucked as she was. she came flying down to the gats to most her visitor. Alaire was introduced to Mrs. Strang*, the dressmaker, s large, addbrunetta, with a mouthful of and then, when Paloma had glvherself once more Into the seamhands, the two friends gossiped, don't know what dad will say be gets the bill for these Paloma confessed. **Your father Is a mighty queer Irs. (Strange observed. "I haven't so much as laid eyes on him." Paloma nodded. Tea. And he's getting more peculiar an the time; I cant make out what ails him.** "Where Is he now?" asked Alaire. A trip through most of the grain growing districts of Western Canada, and information received from authentic sources, reveals that the spring seeding of wheat, barley und oats is finished and the grain is having a most rapid growth. Men of farming experience here say that the conditions are Blmllar to those years when there was an abundant harvest reaped. During the past year a number of new settlers came Into the country, and they will undoubtedly have a good crop this year. This added to the normal acreuge, made considerably less by the lack of labor owing to the number who have gone to the front, will give a fair general yield. It is surprising the growth that this country is capable of producing. Wheat has this spring germinated and shown three or four inches growth in five or six days, and with anything like favorable weather, harvesting should commence about the 15th of August, or a little over one hundred days from first .seeding. Hundreds of farmers throughout this vast country paid for their entire holdings out of one year's crop and it would not be surprising If the same experience met a great many more this year. The best authorities on the wheat situation give It as their opinion that for many years to come, wheat prices will be high. They base their opinion on a scientific calculation and their reasoning seems to be sound. Anyway, it is quite evident that for some years to come, the producer of wheat will be amply rewarded for any effort he may make to develop this branch of agricultural industry. Money may be made on the high-priced lands of the wheat-growing districts of the United States, but it is a question If these high-priced lands would not be more profitably employed (n other branches of farming than In growing the smaller grains, leaving it to lands Just as productive for wheat, less expensive to operate, and with a much smaller lnrtial price, to provide the world with this necessity of lit: Here Is where Western Canada, with Its vast rich fertile plains, Its low railway rates, Its exceptionally good shipping privileges, Its excellent climate, and Its perfect social conditions, has a combination of advantages not possessed by any other portion of the continent Furthermore, these lands, of unexcelled quality, are extraordinarily cheap, while for the man who does not care to undertake farming on so extensive a scale there is the free homestead which offers him all the opportunity for which he Is looking. The prospective purchaser will have no difficulty at all in making a selection of a fine piece of land, well located and convenient to transportation, which may be had for from $15 to $25 an acre, and the railway companies or other holders of large tracts are always glad to sell on easy terms. Or if he desires a farm that is already under cultivation and Improved, many such are to be had from farmers who already have made comfortable fortunes and are ready to retire. It Is not to the grain grower only that Western Canada offers great opportunities. If one wishes to go In for cattle raising, there are great stretches of range land both free and for lease; and In many sections of the country there are the finest of grazing lands that may be purchased at very low prices.

PRETTY COMBINATIONS FOR THE FLOWER GARDEN By BETTY PAKE. A particularly brilliant bed Is made ap of scarlet salvia, golden yellow and brown calliopsis and scarlet and yellow coleus. Make the center of scarlet salvia. Surround this with the rich golden yellow and brown calliopsis and border the bed with scarlet and yellow coleus, using a row of each or alternating the plants. This makes a blaze of color In midsummer. Some lovely combinations come from the annual phlox. The use of the pale pink, the pure whUe and the delicate yellow planted In masses or arranged In circles is beautiful enough to suit the taste of the most asthetlc gardener. A brilliant bed can be made of petunias. Arrange your colors, as the Juxtaposition of purples and red forms too bizarre an effect. Fill the center with red or purple petunias and surround them with white. This Is a good way to heighten the effect of each color by the contrast. Narcissi are hardy. They live In almost any climate or spll and may be left alone for several years after once being planted. A rather deep and somewhat stiff soli is preferred; and If the position Is one particularly shaded from lots of sunshine In the spring the flowers of some of the species retain their beauty for a much longer period than they would If exposed to all the light and sunshine possible. The usual mode of propagation Is by off-sets, which should be collected from the parent bulbs and planted out separately for a year In order that they may grow sufficiently large for flowering. The majority of the species increase somewhat freely by this method and permanent clumps may be lifted, and their offsets removed, should there be a danger of injury caused by the flowering bulbs being overcrowded, ensuing from their multiplying. The process of raising plants from seeds is a slow one, but is practiced for raising new varieties. Seeds should be sown soon after being collected, in pans of sandy and rather loamy soil. Young bulbs should be planted In a prepared border, and do not require more than one inch of space. stood the slowness of this plant In establishing Itself, and the resentment it always manifests to any disturbance of its roots, few persons would be selfish enough to ask anyone to mutilate his or her plants in order to enable them to save the expenditure of the little money. While large beds of peonies are extremely effective, especially in extensive grounds, where they can have the advantage of sufficient distance, and a good background against which to display their magnificence of color, I am inclined to the belief that more pleasure is afforded by scattering the planti about In a mixed border. Here they come out strongly during their period of bloom, and after that they are not as noticeable as they must be when planted In beds. No one will claim for the plant much merit In the way of attractive foliage when it la not seen In the companionship of flowers. In this respect the peony is very much like the rose, which would never be extensively planted If It had nothing but its foliage to commend It to general attention. This Is not saying that the foliage of the rose is without beauty, but rather that it does not make the plant a shrub' wrorth planting as a shrub, when considered apart from Its flowers. There are many beautiful varieties to select from, superior sorts, representing the most distinct colors, and covering the entire season of peony bloom.

These include welfare work at training camps and mobilization centers, the supplying of electric fans and delicacies to army hospitals, the serving of coffee and doughnuts or cake and lemonade to soldiers and marines as they entrain, etc. Another department—that of general relief work—is ready to extend its services and, If demand comes, will issue detailed plans. Both these departments are to be standardised by Bed Cross rules. "The W. C. T. U. members who will most promptly and enthusiastically respond to the official plans for emergency service will be those who for many years have ardently advocated international peace," said Mrs, Anna A. Gordon, national president "They believe it Is now our duty to suffering humanity to unite with the nation In defending the principles of Christian civilization, and thus to answer patriotism's call." It goes without saying that the Woman's Christian Temperance union will use all its influence to secure the enactment of a nationwide prohibition law as a war measure. NERS MACARONI ^teter: LOOKING PROHIBITIONWARD. The government of Peru is planning for nationwide prohibition. "Strict laws are to be passed forbidding the making or the importation of drinks containing more than one and one-half of one per cent of alcohol," says Mr. Porflrio Adan of Lima, as quoted by the Christian Science Monitor. "Eventually these also will be eliminated, and the government Is even now experimenting with the production of nonalcoholic drinks which gradually can be substituted for the harmful drinks. It is estimated that nearly 75 per cent of the adult population of the republic, both men and women, are addicted to alcoholic drinks." One step in the movement was an offer by the government of $500 for the best temperance text-book to be used in the public schools. FREE PROM 8ALOON DOMINANCE. Mr. Otto F. Thum, first president of the Colorado Federation of Labor, says that prohibition has strengthened organized labor in that state, and It is in better condition than ever before. "In Denver," said Mr. Thum, **we have been for many years trying to get the boys to build a labor temple, but were always thrown down by a sinister influence—the saloons. We have 106 unions in Denver and they meet in twenty-eight different buildings. The saloons saw to It that we were not bunched In s labor temple. But now that we are well rid of the saloons we are able to get together, and in a very short time we win have a labor temple to cost about $25,000." A DANGEROUS CHEMICAL.

Cooper, Millionaire Manufacturer, Gives Large Part of Income to Charity — Sprang Into Fame Through His New Health Theories, Based on What Is Known As the Tanlac Treatment. M O T in recent years, perhaps, has the coming of any public character * ^ aroused Buch widespread interest as has the proposed visit to Detroit and other Michigan cities of L. T. Cooper, the Millionaire Philanthropist Mr. Cooper is described as one of America's foremost leaders of advanced thought, and sprang into fame and fortune through his new health theories based on what is known as the Tanlac treatment He never ceases to surprise you with the infinite variety of his knowledge, and ita absolute correctness and thoroughness. In several of the larger cities— especially throughout the South and West—he has done a great deal of relief work among the poor. Mr. Cooper la a firm believer In practical philanthropy and his relief work Is familiar to charity workers over the country. His Southern representative while In Houston, Texas, a few weeks ago distributed, under the personal direction of leading charity workers, one thousand dresses of excellent quality to the poor women and children. In San Antonio the following week, he donated another thousand dresses to the poor of that city and a few days later four hundred of the garments were provided by him for the poor women and children of Galveston. Ladies prominent in social life and many prominent citizens of these places assisted and co-operated with Mr. Cooper's representatives in this worthy cause. Gives 50,000 Loaves of Bread. Similar service was also performed by Mr. Cooper in Cincinnati, Memphis, Birmingham, Atlanta, Little Rock, Shreveport, Vicksburg, Jackson, Nashville, Knoxvllle, Chattanooga, Macon, Savannah, Montgomery, Mobile and Augusta, and his establishment of the famous free bread line at Louisville, where he distributed fifty thousand loaves of bread absolutely free and without question to those in want, proved a revelation to charity workers there. In fact, in practically every city Mr. Cooper has visited he has always shown his great sympathy for the poor and unfortunate by performing some unique act of charity. Mr. Cooper contends that nine-tenths of the diseases and ill health of the day American is due to faulty >n and Improper assimilation of the food, which finally produces a stuffed up condition of the vital organs,- It has been said that Tanlac, his celebrated medicine which is now accomplishing such remarkable results throughout the country, not only quickly overcomes all catarrhal Inflammations of the mucous membrane, but acts directly in the correction of stomach, liver, kidney and Intestinal disorders. Tanlac as has been so convincingly proven by the thousands upon thousands who have Indorsed It Is also a reconstructive tonic of great power. and has been known to entirely relieve the most obstinate cases of rheumatism and blood disorders in a very short time, Tanlac** Sale Phenomenal. It is, indeed, doubtful If anything ever placed on the market In the way of a medicine has sprung into such popular favor In so short a time. People everywhere have been quick to recognise its wonderful merit. The demand for It has been nothing short of phenomenal. In Dallas, Texas, where Tanlac was placed on sale about eight months ago, over 90,000 bottles bawe been sold, which according to druggists of that city, has established a new record and la unprecedented In the history of the drug business. In Atlanta, over 166,000 bottles were sold in twelve months time; In Knoxville, the Kuhlman- Chambllss Co. sold and distributed 48,326 bottles in nine months; in Louisville, Ky„ the Taylor-Isaacs Co., who operate eight retail stores in that city, sold 32,000 bottles in less than 90 days. The demand for Tanlac in Denver, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Houston, San Antonio, Oklahoma City, Memphis, Little Rock, Birmingham, Chattanooga and Nashville, In fact everywhere it has been Introduced has likewise been phenomenal and the demand for it is continually Increasing. A total of more than a million and a half bottles of the medicine has been sold through the Atlanta office alone during the past twelve months, and it is without doubt the most widely talked of medicine in the world today. When asked to explain this record breaking demand, Mr. G. F. Willis, Southern and Western distributor of Tanlac, said: *There.can be only one possible explanation, and it can be told in one word, 'merit' That tells the whole story. No preparation, no matter how extensively advertised, can possibly meet with such phenomenal success unless it possesses extraordinary curative power." Thousands upon thousands are testifying dally that they have been relieved of disease by its use after years of suffering. w There is a Tanlac dealer i s your town.—Adv. Quite Evident.

Even in the smallest doses, if continued, these opiates cause changes in the functions and growth of the ceUa which are likely to become permanent, causing imbecility, mental perversion, a craving for alcohol or narcotics in later life. Nervous diseases, such as intractable nervous dyspepsia and lack of staying powers are a result of dosing with opiates or narcotics to keep children quiet In their infancy. The role among physicians is that children should never receive opiates in the smallest doses for more than a day at a time, and only then if unavoidable. The administration of Anodynes, Drops.

By EDWIN R. A. SELIGMAN, JifltVickar Professor of Political Economy, Columbia University.

How Much Should Be Raised by T a x a t i o n ? 4Jow w a s the figure of $1,800,000,000 arrived at? T h e a n s w e r is simple. When t p e Secretary of the Treasury c a m e to e s t i m a t e the additional w a r e x p e n s e s fr»r the year 1917-18, he calculated Uiat they would a m o u n t to some .SG.000.- 000.000, of w h i c h $3,000,000,000 w a s to l# allotted to the allies, and *3.G<>0,- 000,000 w a s to be utilized for the domestic purposes. T h i n k i n g that It iwould be- a fair proposition to divide this latter s u m between loans and taxes, he concluded that the amount to b e raised by t a x e s w a s $1,800,000. 000. There are t w o extreme theories, each of which may be dismissed with scant courtesy. The one is that all war expenditures should be defrayed by loans, and the other la that all war expenditures should be defrayed by taxes. E a c h theory is untenable. It is indeed true that the burdens of i c e war should be borne by the present rather than the future generation; but this does not mean that they should be borne by this year's taxation. Meeting all w a r e x p e n s e s by taxation m a k e s the t a x p a y e r s in one or t w o fi r s bear the burden of benefits that gbt to be distributed at least over a decade within the s a m e generation. In the second place, w h e n expenditures approach the gigantic s u m s of present-day warfare, the tax-only policy would require more than the total surplus of social income. W e r e this absolutely necessary, the ensuing havoc in the economic life of the community would hav% to IKJ endured. But w h e r e the d i s a s t e r s are so great and • t the 8ame t i m e so unnecessary, the tax-only policy may be declared im practicable. Secretary McAdoo had the right instinct and highly commendable coura g e in deciding that a substantial portion, at least, of the revenues should fee derived from taxation. B u t when let hit upon the plan of 60-50 per c e n t , t h a t is, of raising one-half of all domestic w a r expenditures by taxes, the f o e s t i o n arises whether h e did not go t o o far.

It is essential, however, md to m a k e the income rate so e x c e s s i v e a s to lead to evasion, a d m i n i s t r a t i v e difficulties, - r to the more fundamental objections which have been urged above. (Gj The e x c e s s profits which are due to the w a r constitute the m o s t obvious and reasonable source of revenue during w a r times. Rut the principle upon w h i c h t h e s e war-profit t a x e s are laid m u s t be equitable in theory a n d easily calculable in practice. The Proposed Income Tax. T h e additional Income tax a s passed by the H o u s e runs up to a rate of 00 per cent. T h i s is a sum unheard of in the history of civilized society. It must be r e m e m b e r e d that it w a s only after the first year of the w a r that Great Britain increased her income tax to the m a x i m u m of 34 per cent., a n d that e v e n n o w in t h e fourth year of the war the income tax does not e x c e e d 421.. per cent. It could easily be s h o w n t h a t a tax with rates on moderate i n c o m e s substantially less than in Great Britain, and on the larger incomes about as high, would yield only slightly less than the $532,000,000 originally e s t i m a t e d in the H o u s e bill. It is to be hoped that the S e n a t e will reduce the total rate on tbe highest in c o m e s to 34 per cent, or at most to 40 per cent, a n d that at the s a m e t i m e it will reduce the rate on the smaller inc o m e s derived from personal or professional earnings. If the w a r continues w e shall have to depend more and more upon the income tax. By impoelng exoeselve rates now w o are net only endangering the future, but are inviting all manner of difficulties which even Great Britain has been able to escape. Conclusion. T h e H o u s e bill contains other fundamental defects which m a y be summed u p a s f o l l o w s : (1) It pursues an erroneous principle In i m p o s i n g retroactive t a x e s . (2) I t selects an unjust and unworkable criterion for the excess-profits tax. (3) It proceeds to an unheard-of height i n t h e income tax. (4) I t Imposes unwarranted burdens upon t h e c o n s u m p t i o n of the community. (5) It is calculated to throw business into c o n f u s i o n by l e v y i n g t a x e s on gross receipts instead of upon commodities. (6) It fails to m a k e a proper use of s t a m p t a x e s . (7) It follows an unscientific s y s t e m in its flat rate on imports. (8) It includes a multiplicity of pett y a n d u n l u c r a t i v e t a x e s , tbe vexatlonsness of w h i c h is out of all proportion to the r e v e n u e they produce. • * • • • • • T h e f u n d a m e n t a l lines on w h i c h the H o u s e bill should be modified are summ e d up h e r e w i t h : (1) T h e a m o u n t of n e w taxation should b e limited to $1,230,000,000—or at the o u t s e t to fl,500,000,000.

Prune" flowering shruba a* soon as they have finished flowering. The secret of pruning shrubbery, In a nutshell, Is to study the habit and growth of each plant and to Btrlve to encourage it; not alter it to your views. Hake a note of the yellow spots on the lawn. If the grass is scanty the trouble is possibly sand or poor soil. The best cure is to dig out the place and put In some good loam. Then resod the place. If the grass Is there, but dead, the trouble is lack of moisture. If the grass on the lawn is growing fast two mowings a week, allowing the clippings to lie where they fall, are easier than one mowing in ten days pr two weeks, followed by a raking to remove the cut grass. To insure a thick privet hedge, cut back three inches every time the plants make six Inches of growth. Evergreens from the nursery can be Bafely transplanted by the end of July. It is important to keep the roots motst •with as much soil adhering as possible. Pinch off the seed-pods from azaleas and rhododendrons to Insure good flower buds for next year. Give Japanese iris plenty of water to Insure good blooms. As fast as flowers fade on herbaceous plants, remove them. By not allowing seeds to form the flowering sea- Bon will be considerably lengthened. The larkspur, if treated In this manner, will produce spikes almost as good as those of the first crop, In late fall when there are few flowers In the garden. • Geranium cutting! made early In July will make good wlnter-flowerlng plants. During the latter part of the month sow seeds In cold frames of English daisies, pansies, foxgloves, Canterbury bells, larkspur, et&, for next year's flowering. Fill up the gaps left by the popples by transplanting on the cleared ground such annuals as China asters or porttjlacca. Plant a few pots of oralis and treesias for early flowers next year. When watering, do it thoroughly. should be supplied at the time of planting out, when a little well-slaked powdered lime may be put on as a surface dressing and forked in before the seedlings are introduced. Centaureas are hardy, but as a rule they come up somewhat Irregularly if sown in the open, and therefore it is best to sow very thinly in pots or boxes, and prick the seedlings oat, disturbing them at the root as little as possible in the process. SWEET SULTAN. The peculiarly sweet, spicy smeU of sweet sultan has always endeared this Sterol member of the centaurea family to gardeners, and, moreover, this Is a very useful flower for cutting, as It lasts wonderfully weH and is light and graceful. The older forms of sweet sultans, are, however, nowhere as regards atse and splendor with the improved imfjfi «Hi grandiflora. This is immense in flower. The flowers are large and •oft of thistle shape, with beautiful fitment petrls of pinkish lilac, and Caere Is a white variety, not pure srhite, but with a primrose tint, which Is exquisite as a table decoration, but Ian effective In the border than the giant-flowered sweet sultans are s * ssors difficult to grow than the SSMallsr, elcrfasftdoned ones, but they stave flat family affection for a nmj sad. and If this element It lacking It NOTES Amateur gardeners often make the mistake of planting vegetables too close together. Plants having large foliage such as tomatoes, peas and beans, should be given plenty of room, in order that the sunshine may reach all parts. Plenty of potash and phosphoric acid should be used with all vegetables and particularly with tomatoes, peppers, egg plants and root-crops. If the ground was well fertilized before planting the seeds there will be but little trouble through plants dwindling in the hot weather providing the soil is kept light Much of the trouble laid to drought comes through plant starvation. Some plants are such rank growers that they exhaust the fertility of the soil very quickly unless some reserve food is provided. If you have not made due provision for this In the planting It may still be easily done by digging a large hole between the rows or hills and filling this with fertilizer, mixing it as much as possible with the soil. Bains will wash a part of the fertility down among the roots and the plants will thus find a source of constant renewal. This will keep them vigorous and in a healthy condition throughout the season and the fruit formed under these conditions will lack the bitterness which we often experience from neglecting the soIL SUMMER GARDEN HELPS Make a succession of plantings of sweet corn and snap beans up to the middle or last of July. These will give you good vegetables for late use. Transplanting celery three or four times develops a stronger root system for the plants, and the plants win grow better when set in the permanent row. If the garden is stirred frequently during the summer with a flne-toothed horse cultivator the soil will retain moisture and it will never become hard and cloddy. When cantaloupe vines are about two feet long pick off the ends of the vines. This win Induce free branch* ing and heavier and better fruiting. MAKE THE GARDEN NEAT. Too much stress cannot be laid upon neatness in the garden. If faded leaves and fallen lowers are allowed to accntsnlsta, the charm that should tt is gone, and no ai EARTH, SAND-CLAY AND GRAVEL ROADS «w • » S10C DITCH FIG > ROADWAY Effective drainage usually should be Che very first consideration in connection with the location and design of any road. This statement requires no explanation, because the action of water in changing clay into mud and in causing all kinds of soils, except sand, to give way when a load is applied, Is familiar to every person living in a humid climate. The following summary supplies a few suggestions as to how water may best be removed from a road bed: 1. The road surface should be crowned so as to shed water off to the side ditches as rapidly as it falls on the road. 2. Wherever the road is In an excavation, suitable side ditches or gutters should be provided along the sides so from the surface as quickly as practicable, so as to prevent the surface material from being softened by saturation or washed by water collecting In, and flowing along, ruts. (b) Jt is desirable to keep the cross section of the road as fiat as Is consistent with good drainage, because traffic distributes itself over a flat road surface much better than over one that Is heavily crowned, and an even distribution of traffic makes toward uniform wear and comparatively light maintenance. There is also less danger of skidding on a road of flat cross section than where the surface is crowned. In general, the amount of crown should be greater on grades than on level stretches of road, because the tendency for water to wash away the surface by collecting in and flowing that the water may be conducted to some point where it may be turned off from the road. The accompanying figures show typical cross sections for earth s^de ditches. The cross section shown in the first figure is suitable for steep grades where the depth of water in the Bide ditches must be kept low in order to prevent washing of the soil. The second figure shows a modified section which gives a greater capacity for the same widths of ditch than the cross section shown in the preceding figure, but which can be employed only on comparatively flat grades if washing is to be prevented. Figure 3 shows a cross section adapted especially to flat grades where a considerable volume of water must be carried. Ditches of the cross sections shown in figures 1 and 2 have the advantage in that they may be constructed with an ordinary road grader, which is not true of the section shown in figure 3. 3. Where it is Impracticable to construct side ditches that will carry the required amount of water without washing, paved gutters should be employed. 4. If the material composing the roadbed consists of springy earth, some form of underdralnage is essential. A line of farm tile laid to proper grade under each side ditch is, In general, the most satisfactory way of securing adequate underdralnage. Either four-inch or six-inch tile is employed for this purpose. 5. Culverts or bridges should be conalong ruts depends largely upon the steepness of the grade. Also the care with which a road is to be maintained may have an important influence on the amount of crown that should be given to the surface. It is evident tba* a road surface maintained in a smooth uniform condition will shed water off to the side ditches with much less crown than would be required where ruts are allowed to form. instead of crowning the road surface sufficiently to prevent water from flowing along the traveled way and causing washes on steep grades, resort is sometimes had to "water breaks," or "thank-you-ma'ams," constructed across the road at short Intervals. These water breaks may consist of either broad, shallow ditches or fiat ridges constructed at a slight angle with the road so as to turn water from the traveled way Into the side ditches. Such devices usually are much more objectionable, especially to automobile traffic, than a rather heavily crowned road, provided the surface Is not constructed of material which becomes very slippery when wet, and they should de dispensed with except in extreme cases. An exception to the general rules for crowning a road surface perhaps should be noted as applying to cases where the roadbed and surface are of sand. In such cases it is preferable that the cross section be fiat so as to retain as much moisture as practicable, though In cold climates a slight crown SIDE DITCH FIG. 3 structed wherever it is necessary to carry water across the road. 6. Avoid turning water from one intersecting road down the side ditches of another. Also avoid draining adjacent fields Into the side ditches. Crown. The proper crown to give the cross section of a road surface depends on two opposed factors: (a) It is desirable to get water away REMEDY FOR CUCUMBER BUGS of bloom eta make up for the lack of care which St that made manifest Concentrated Solution of Nicotine, Properly Applied, Is Fatal to Larvae, Says Expert. fBy WILLIAM MOORE. Mhmeeota E x - periment Station.) A concentrated nicotine solution of which there are several braids on the market, properly applied, is fatal to the larvae of the cucumber beetle, which sometimes does a large amount of damage to cucumbers whether in the cold frame or in the field. One teaspoonful of a 40 per cent solution of nicotine in a gallon of water is enough. The gardener Should look for the larvae of the beetle just at the surface of the soIL When he discovers them he should pour his nicotine solution on carefully with a narrow half-pint cup, being sure to let it run down tH sMes of the stalk. Fighting the larvae of the cucumber beetle to better than fighting the adult beetle itself, as the adults work chief* ly on the leaves and do not get at tee ettal parts of the plant may be desirable In order to afford drainage when the surface is frozen. But sand roads must be surfaced with some other material if they are to be Improved to any extent, and in that case the surface of the traveled way would have to be crowned as usuai. Also, where curves occur in the alignment it is desirable to "bank" or elevate the outer edge of the roadway and thus make the crown one way. KINDNESS TO DAIRY CATTLE Farmer Who Appreciates Good Cows Will Prosper on Returns Prom His Animals. The farmer, who regards his dairy cattle as dirty machines that thrive on abuse, win never make any money in the dairy business,-while the cattle owner who appreciates good dairy cows and treats them with kindness will like farming and win prosper on the returns from his cows.

One condition of good digestion la that the food presented to the stomach be suitable to the individual, that it be sound, well cooked and not excessive in quantity. As to the suitability of the sort of food, every man, woman and child is a law to himself, and much of the indigestion deplored 1» caused by kindly tyrants, who insist on their family and guests eating what suits the tyrant and not the victims. One robust and genial head of the household of active habits and outdoor occupations thrives on a large allowance in which meat is a chief constituent. This diet he most generously wishes to impose ou all his family, but what Is to bappen on the overwrought financier, the exhausted schoolmaster or the woman who geta much mental stimulus and little exercise? Their digestive apparatus cannot be immediately adapted to a supply so unwonted in quantity and quality, and if they weakly consent so to overtax their stomachs grief is assuredly not far away.—Exchange.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter; wear shoes u size smaller If you like, for corns will never again send electric sparks of pain through you, according to this Cincinnati authority. He says that a few drops of a drug called freezone, applied directly upon a tender, aching corn, instantly relieves soreness, and soon the entire •corn, root and all, lifts right out. This drug dries at once and simply shrivels up the corn or callus without even irritating the surrounding skin. A small bottle of freezone obtained at any drug store will cost very little but will positively remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. If your druggist hasn't stocked this new drug yet, tell him to get a small bottle of freezone for you from his wholesale drug house.—adv. Blue Blood.

Sore EjrtUss. as? er by anil Sic MT ilSc For MANY NEW COLORS FOR LATE SUMMER Six Shades of Red to Lead, It Is Officially Announced. SOMBER TONES MAY PREVAIL Manufacturers Think War Will Cause American Women to Choose Dull Clothes Though They May Be Expensive. New York.—The manufacturers are exhibiting their usual interest in the colors which may come into fashion next autumn. To the layman, this forehandedneaa seems to be vitally wasted, but the man behind the business knows that now is the appointed hour to look with sharpened eyes into the near future. Merchandise is a stupendous bulk of material that quickly goes into profit or loss. It makes or mars a merchant and affects thousands who owe to his cleverness their chance to live in comfort. If he does not look ahead with an eye and mind trained to take into account every minor and major happening, and every shadow of coming events, he goes down into debt and carries the thousands with him. When those who are more interested than ever before in the production of woman's apparel because of the strain caused by the war and the feeling of false economy, say among themselves that this color and that fabric will have no chance for popularity next winter, then they decide a momentous issue. They realize that the public must be induced to buy while the buying is good; while it can make use of the pieces of merchandise that exist and which may soon cease to be worth while. The public, itself, wants to know the prospects for the success of every garment. If its service is to be of short duration, then wisdom dictates that it must be made to yield every ounce of service now. Many of us would willingly buy a garment, or a piece of aloth, if we were candidly told that it would not serve us long, but that it would last for another three months, giving that as the reason for its reduction from the original price. But we feel cheated and humiliated when, after buying something that was supposedly rising up the hill of popularity, we find that it is quickly going down hill. Weary Quickly of Clothes. Most of us are guilty—if crime it be—of wearying of what we possess in the way of clothes before they have given us value for money expended, and we willingly give them up under the pressure of an excuse that will satisfy our conscience. If we buy often and without undue expense, we right happily fling away the purchase when Its time comes to go. It is this psychological truth that lies down deep in the spirits of the majority, ,that makes it possible for the department shops to reap a snug fortune each season out of the modlshly cut and cheaply priced garments Here is the Arab hood for sports elothea. Oown ef army and gold Jarsoy cloth with cow! and tasaolhsd baft. Pull slaavas put Into tight ouffe, % that are speedily bought up by the women who make no pretense of going in for quality. The hue and cry raised against tail national practice by those who are always trying to adjust the Uvea of the wage ear IHUS for thorn from the viewpoint of the i>onproductng eoaveumer, 1a merely sending sound into air. It la running against the vary foundation of human nature. Why Insist that tboaa who hare little to spend oa raiment should spend It on uniforms, on somber and demure garments that proclaim themselves out of style; that announce to the world: Here goes one who has little chance for pleasure. The girl who has a mite for clothes would prefer to spend that mite often on what she likes rather than to hoard many mites together In order that she may get some piece of apparel of good quality that will outlast her desire for it or its own fashion. The manufacturers realize that they can make fine capital out of this desire for change as the summer season advances if they are quite sure of what is soon to come. They send buyers to Paris In April and receive reports of importance in May concerning the performance of the Paris weavers, dyers and ornament makers. These reports, especially those dealing with the colors for next season, are guides to the disposal of merchandise on hand and the wholesale people are enabled to go ahead on their production of fabrics and gowns for sale next autumn and winter. And the colors, as officially announced, that will rule after this summer are led by six shades of red. called Ineende; In this dance frock the akirt is of flesh crepe with bands of dyed Mechlin lace. Cuirass of Iridescent beads on metal silk. Shoulder drapery of crepe. there are six grays called munitions, and several shades of purple under the name of academic. The American navy blue Is shown, and under the name of chestnut there are shades of brown. Three quite adorable pinks are promised for evening gowns. The American manufacturers are quite certain that somber tones in fab* rics will prevail after the summer. They think that the state of war will result in the choice by our women of sober clothes, even though they may be expensive ones. France, it is true, went in almost hysterically for dull clothes even before a single batch of wounded was brought home, but neither England nor Canada cut out the buying of colorful clothes, nor did the women of those countries seem to think it was necessary to economise. The English department shops, for Instance, had all they could do to supply the immense demands of the thousands of women who came Into money suddenly through the high wages paid their husbands or their own suddenly discovered wage-earning capacity. There is every reason to suppose that when the first excitement of war is over our women will go on buying the kind of clothes they prefer, but the manufacturers have decided that it is beat to look forward to soberer colors than we have worn. Will Silks Grow In Strength? Another question important to the people who sell apparel has to do with silk. We have been wearing it recklessly, and without regard to the fact that we could have cotton. All classes have indulged in silk weaves for every kind of garment, and the majority seems to have forgotten that in the near past only those with fine Incomes Indulged in that luxury, and even they guarded their silk things. It is believed, however, by those who balance conditions, that the American woman can continue to indulge her* self in the wearing of silk because woolen will be needed by our government or one across the sea. Cotton things are expansive and will become more so, because the raw material is sorely wanted by all countries. So it may turn out to be silk for economy's sake.

Vaughn in a recent interview. "The man who takes the oat h is obliged to serve only during the duration of the war. There will be no monatony and drudgery of barrack life for him after hostilities have ceased. He return* immediately to the walks of civil life. 'There seems to be some misunderstanding as to the rates of pay. The enlisted soldier i s furnished uniforms, arms and equipment. The allowance for uniforms is about 28c a day and what is not expended in clothing may be drawn in cash at the end of the en* listment period. It is possible to save, roughly, more than half of the clothing allowance. Subsistence is furnished free. "The private gets $15 a month, firstclass private $18, corporal $21, sergeant $80 and higher sergeants up to $45. The second Lieutenant is paid $1,70Q annually, the first lieutenant $2,000 end the captain $2,400. There are bonuses for foreigh service which increases the pay of all grades 20 per cent. "It must be remembered that the state, through t h e War Preparedness board, supplement* the pay of the enlisted man with a pledge to take care of his family with additional funds which the legislators voted, up te $20 a month for dependent wife or mother, and $7.50 a month for each child. Then the Red Cross ia also collecting funds for disbursement where needed. "I believe that the man with depenj dents who enlists today can be surer that those whom he leaves behind will be comfortable than has been tbe case( in any other war in our history."

Neal Dow, 'The Father of Prohibition" The W. C. T. U. held a very interettting and instructive meeting last Friday at the borne of Mrs. R. K. Elliott. Mr. and Mra. Jas. Cook and son of i T h e y studied the life and character of Neal Dow, who ia known the world over ub the Father of Prohibition. He was born in Portland, Maine, 1804 and died in 1897. While he was yet a young business man, the wife of a government official came to him and aaked him to go to a nearby saloon and request that the proprietor give her husband no more liquor or he would lose his offi«e. The saloon keeper refused the request saying, "he had a license to sell and if he wanted advice he would ask for it". Neal Dow said, **so you have a license to sell and snpport your family by impoverBhing others, with God's help I will change all this". Thus the "Maine law" originated. Through his untiring efforts Maine had their first prohibitory law enacted in 1851. It was soon repealed but soon re-enacted to stand for all time though many efforts have been made to annul it. As a speaker and temperance worker he was well known in England as well as in the United States. In 1861 he enlisted in the Civil war Stockbridge were Friday visitors at his mothers, Mrs. Elizabeth Cook. Miss Florence Collins of Pontiac spent Saturday and Sunday with her parents here.

STRENUOUS CAMPAIGN IS ON Svery American Will Be Shown It It His Patriotic Duty to Own at Least One of These United State* Securities. By EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington.—Government officials have been looking for a slogan to rouse Interest in the buying of Liberty Loan bonds and also to Impress on Americans that they should do whatever they can to help their country. "Do your bit" is an English expression, but it has been used to a great extent in this country. H. P. Stevenson of River Forest, 111., has suggested "Hold up your end" as a good American expression and one with a sufficient' amount of pepper In It. By whatever slogan or by whatever other means the government direct* attention to the Liberty loan, It may be said that the campaign In behalf of this bond Issue of the country Is one of the most strenuous ever engaged In by the official representatives of 'the people. Washington holds that It Is the patriotic duty of every man who is able to do so to buy a Liberty bond. They are issued In various denominations, beginning with bonds as low as $50, and the means of their purchase is made easy. The government hopes that this bond issue will be oversubscribed. Funds Should Come From All. The government holds that the funds to prosecute the war should come from men and women of the nation at large and not from certain classes. The officials ask that all the newspapers of the country from the smallest to the greatest shall work together In a campaign giving the common cause "the Impetus and force of a natlon-wtde concerted action and correlated effort." Robert W. Woolley, at one time director of the mint and a newspaper man of years' standing, is the director of the publicity bureau of the Liberty Loan of 1917. It is the belief of Mr. Woolley and of all the officials of the treasury that the advantages of the loan need only to be made clear to the people to secure a prompt response in the form of purchase. "What are the terms of the Liberty loan bonds?" asks Mr. Woolley, and then he gives this answer: "Liberty Loan bonds of the first Issue of $2,000,000,000 are to bear date of June 15, 1917, and to run for 30 years except that the government reserves the right to buy them five yean after date. If this right is not exercised by the government 15 years from date, the bonds will run the full 80 years. "These bonds bear interest at 3½ per cent per annum and the interest is payable semiannually on the fifteenth day of December and of June in each year." They Are Nontaxable. These Liberty bonds are nontaxable. If a city, county or state tax on a man's property amounts to three cents on fthe dollar, which is said not to be an junusual tax, the bonds are said to be •equivalent to ordinary corporate bonds lor other investments bearing 6½ per cent The reason for this is that BO {federal tax which war conditions later jmay make necessary will affect the bond*. The only tax to which they are subject ts an inheritance tax, which applies to all property of all kinds whatt "Of the billions loaned to our allies," an official statement declares, "none of it it going out of the United States to joe expended. Every cent of It is to be (used In this country for the purchase jof tilings needed for their armies and navies. Much of the money which is be loaned to the allies will be spent 'Ar cotton for clothing, and for expiosjlreu, and much of It will be used In jthe purchase of wool for clothing and later for shoes." British Mission's Farewell. I Tne members of the British mission to the United States have left (Washington. It was a keen dlsap- Ipolntment to them that late-day JMttM in connection with their work {with the officials of the stats depart- ' of this country prevented them visiting the middle West and sections of the country, with tne of which they were anxious to In personal contact II srns possible for yonr correspondto swears from the members of tne ommisssOTi of which Mr. A, J. Cbrsnt Britain's foreign secrets the cklst a message to the ef hue sections of the. country unable to visit This from the visitors to dvty of this, as of any to sent ourselves in Washington, there to pay a respectful tribute to the president of the Unite*. States. It was not only, however, a diplomatic mission. It was a war mission for we had been at war. We came to this country bearing the marks of a new long-dmwu-out conteat, of its anxieties, often very grivoua, and still more its hopes, which have never been anything but blight We brought with us a consciousness of the many mistakes made in the hundred new activities which a peace-loving democracy must enter upon whtfn it reluctantly passes to a state of war. Did a Great Deal of Work. "In Washington we were met with a welcome which surprised even those of us who knew best the depth of feeling possible In this great people. We have not spent all our time In festivity or In Interchange of compliments, however. Almost from the first day, we settled down to the grim business of war work. It was not for us to offer our opinion on the situation; still leas to suggest a course of action for the United States to follow. We could, however, help by laying before the adminlstratidn the fruit of our experience and many bitter truths about the price we had to pay for blunders of our own. The work has been continuous and It has. only just ended. "We felt, however, that the welcome we received was not a matter between governments alone; it was (Did we not have repeated proof of this?) the spontaneous offering of a great people from whom the government draws its power. It was not easy for us to make clear to the people how much we were moved and encouraged by their sympathy and by their generosity. "One of the great forces of the nation— the press of the United States— came to our aid and their consideration and courteous assistance made it possible for us, in a sense, to serve the people by answering questions which they thought fit to put to us. "There was one feature missing. The very size of the republic made it Impossible for us in person to thank all those who have been our hosts these last three weeks. Some of the sections of the Union it was quite impossible for us to visit The states of the middle West and the Pacific slope should naturally have been visited by any foreign mission that realized fully the meaning of America's immensity. We must go back to war in England, and so we cannot do it "May the visit which is now coming to an end interpret for you the gratitude of the country from which we have been sent, and may the comradeship which has been recently inaugurated lead to a better mutual understanding, perpetual as the peace for which we are going to fight together." What Nurses' Aids Do. In the course of the next year probably hundreds of young women will start for Europe as nurses' aids, a kind -of hospital assistant's Job which is not as pleasant as the morning's work of shopping and the afternoon's work of sitting on the veranda partaking of the savory tea with a slice of lemon In' It, or perchance a modicum of cream. Experience in the European war has shown that young women who want to go to France as nurses' aids should understand thoroughly what it is that they will have to do when they get there. There Is a glamour about war for the young woman as there is for the young man. Some American young women have gone to Europe only to return because they found the work was not to their liking. Most of Them Stick. It is to the credit of most of the American girls who went abroad, however, that they stuck to their jobs, no matter how hard or uncongenial they were, and did their service for humanity in that devoted spirit which Americans like to call American. The fact that most stayed and few returned, however, makes it none the less imperative perhaps that all who go in the future should know what they must do when they undertake their new work. The nurses' assistant will wash and sterilise bandages in cases where the supplies have run short and It is necessary to re-use linen and gauss that better should be burned. She will scrub floors if need be and she will do work which she knows that almost any maid-of-ail-work would refuse to do in the piping days of peace In these United States of America. Trained nurses are used to the sick room. Many of them are accustomed to sights of horror. It is different with the volunteer nurses' assistant She never has seen a man who was hit with anything harder than a tennis bait She has no realising sense of whst a war hospital means. little wonder It is perhaps that ths nerves of some of the volunteer nurses' sins who went abroad in the early days of the war gave amy under, ths scenes that cams before them. Ths only point Is that ths medical service wants ths help of only those who are able to glre i t It does not feel that it should be called upon while ministering to the wounded to mlntstsr alee to those who become hysterical at tne sight of the wounded.

BUILDINGS COST $250,000 Auto Builders Gift, Made When Old Hall Burned, Enabled College to Erect Model School. (From Our Special Correspondent) Lansing. The R. E. Olds Hall of Engineering, the gift of the Lansing automobile manufacturer to the engineering department of the Michigan Agricultural college, was dedicated as the closing ceremony of the M. A. C. commencement program. The new structure, with its equipment and the adjoining shops, cost in the neighborhood of $250,000. Mr. Olds's contribution to the engineering department was $100,000 This fund he gave Immediately following the tire which March 5, 1916, wiped out the old building and shops. The gift has not covered a half what the hall and shops have cost, but it is generally conceded that If It had not come when it did, there would now be no engineering department at the college, and the institution would have lost as well its large appropriations from the federal government, which are given only with the stipulation that a department of mechanical arts and sciences be conducted in conjunction with the agricultural courses. The Olds gift enabled the college, when it was practically moneyless, to begin reconstruction of the destroyed structures at once. New City In Michigan. Within 60 days there will be a new city in southern Michiga. It will be equipped with rail, water, light and power facilities. From its water front on Lake St. Clair powerful military aircraft will soar over the bay to drop bombs on floating targets. The scene of this animation will be the drill and training field of the American Flying corps, formerly Joy aviation field, about three miles east of Mt. Clemens and 20 minutes by airplane flight from Detroit. Work already is under way on the extension of the Grand Trunk railway from Mt, Clemens to the field. Within a short time Detroit, Mt. Clemens and other communities in that section of Michigan will see airplane flights dally. Roads are being constructed, ground cleared for the building of hangars and barracks, stations provided for the receiving of supplies, water and sewerage systems being laid. The selection of this field by the government, together with the work already done to manufacture airplane engines of superior capacity, is a long step toward the establishment of a new and vastly important phase of the automotive industry in Michigan. Beet Profits 8m a 11. According to a report of the federal trade commission the lowest net .profits per acre in any beet sugar growing district of considerable size are in Michigan. The highest net profits per acre were found in California, Colorado and Utah. In these California districts the net profits ranged from $38 to $45 per acre; in Colorado from $27 to $37; in Utah from $2S to $27, and in Michigan only $17. Tabulation of Farm Help Starts. A number of blanks have been received by the food preparedness committee, from factories showing the names of those employes coming from farms. The exact plan of utilizing ths information so secured has not yet been worked out and no attempt win be followed until a goodly number of the reports have been received. Tax Rate Has Doubled. Michigan's tax par capita has almost doubled in 10 years. Ths Michigan State Tax association report recently issued, shows that Instead of $10.37, as it was in 1*07, it is now $20.11 In the meantime, however, the wealth of the stats has more than doubled, so that there has been an actual decrease In the tax rate.

ALCOHOL AND T H E SOLDIER. Does the use of alcohol prevent a man from being a good soldier? Sir Thomas Anderson Stuart, dean of the medical faculty in Sydney, Australia, thinks that this question is a moat pertinent one. and that it is the angle from which nutions today should discuss the drink problem. He says that alcohol does prevent a man from being a good soldier and that military men and scientists have proved it. We quote : "Alcohol is-subversive of discipline, and robs a man of his prudence, judgment, conscientiousness and higher morality. The development of the human brain took countless years, but alcohol works a change quickly, and brings a man to the level of a beast in a few minutes. Alcohol has also had a great influence on the sexual passion, and the diseases which result are the shame and bane of the military authorities. "I have seen 499 men in one day in one place. They all came from one military camp, and alcohol was the indirect cause of all their misery. When oae man asks another, 'What is your poison?^ he does not know how correctly in a scientific sense he is speaking."

Mlda's Criterion, leading spokespaper of the whisky and wine trade, very sensibly tells the distillers that a prohibition future does not look so dark after all-r-and Incidentally deals a blow to the compensation plea. We are glad to pass on this optimistic view, because once assure the distillers that they will lose no money through prohibition and we shall hear no more from them about "personal liberty." Says Mida's: "In the next Ave years there will be an average of not under 5,090,000 motor cars in the United States. With eight miles to the gallon for fuel and 32 miles average per day would equal four gallons of fuel per day per car, or 20,000,000 gallons per day total, with a total of 7,000,000,000 gallons per year. Add to this 500,000 motor trucks averaging 10 gallons per day, we would have 1,750,000,000 gallons more, or a total of 8,750,000,000 gallons of fuel for the year. This would certainly tax the capacity of every distillery in the land, and, besides, denatured alcohol for fuel does not require a $1.10 per gallon tax from the government." BEER AND W I N E . Alcoholized blood starves and taints the brain cells and allied nervous system. Psychic brain cells bathed In torined blood do not give safety and logical surety to the movements of the mind. Alcoholics should be classed with the other poisons and their use as beverages discarded. Medical men have had testimony from laboratory, hospital, and fatal family pathologic lineage and sequence testimony against alcohol as an unsafe drink, forceful for harm beyond former estimate. Even In their mildest forms of dilution, as In wines, beers, and ales, alcoholics are not fit for the family table, the social club, or the public bar.—Dr. Charles F. Hughes, Editor of the Alienist and Neurologist "PCRSONAL LIBERTY." When Billy Sunday was conducting meetings In Milwaukee, he, according to custom, sent Invitations tdthe large department stores and other Industrial concerns to be present on special evenings. Inasmuch as Mr. Sunday always has something forceful to say concerning the liquor traffic, the brewers expressed their disapproval of the whole proceeding by asking Milwaukee business houses to forbid their employees attending the meetings. A manager of one of the department stores thought this too good to keep to himself. He had copies of the letter printed and on the reverse side an urgent invitation to the meetings, with comment on the brewers' particular brand of "personal liberty." S T R A N G ! UPRISING.

She dislikes her husband, who Is a brutal, profligate, lecherous drunkard, but she feels a atroag sympathy for David Law, state ranger, when she discovers accidentally that he loves her hopelessly. There Is trouble between Mexicans and Americans along the border. Law discovers that Austin Is leagued with American horse thieves and Mexican rebels, among them Tad Lewis, who Is under suspicion. Law kills a horse thief. When Law's friend, Ricardo Guzman, goes to the Mexican side to collect money due him, he Is murdered by the Lewis gang because he can give incriminating testimony against them. Law and Blaxe Jonea go to the Mexican side to get Guzman's body secretly. Mrs. Austin and Paloma Jones, Blaze's daughter, are preparing to give them aid on their return to the American side when Gen. Luis Longorio, an odious admirer of Mrs. Austin, comes to call. What happens then is described in this installment CHAPTER XII—Continued. —1fc— Paloma was gone with a rush. In k moment she returned, ready for the Krlp, and with her she carried a rifle 'nearly as long as herself. In offering to lend a hand In this difficulty, Alaire had acted largely upon impulse, and, now that she took time to think over the affair more coolly, she asked herself what possible business of hers it could be. For her part Paloma was troubled by no uncertainty of purpose; it did not eeem to her at all absurd to go to her father's assistance, and she was (Bo eager to be up and away that the Iprospect of a long evening's wait made her restless. As usual, Ed Austin had not taken ;the trouble to Inform his wife of his •whereabouts; Alaire was relieved to [find that he was out and she decided ithat he had probably stayed at Tad "Lewis' for supper. The women were seated on the porch after their meal, when up the driveway rode two horsemen. A moment later a tall figure mounted the steps and came forward with outstretched hand, crying In Spanish: "Senora! I surprise you. Well, I told you some day I should give myself this great pleasure. I am here!" "General Longorio] But—what a surprise I" Alalre's amazement was naive; her face was that of a startled schoolgirl. The Mexican warmly kissed her fingers, then turned to meet Paloma Jones. As he bowed, the women exchanged glances over his head. Miss Jones looked frankly frightened, and her expression plainly asked the meaning of Longorio's presence. To herself, she was wondering If It could have anything to do with that expedition to the Romero cemetery. She tried to compose herself, but apprehension flooded her. Alaire, meanwhile, her composure recovered, was standing slim and motionless beside her chair, Inquiring smoothly, "What brings you into Texas at such a time, my dear general? This is quite extraordinary." "Need you ask meV cried the man. "I would ride through a thousand perils, senora. God In his gradonsneas placed that miserable village, Romero, close to the gates of heaven. Why should I not presume to look through them briefly? I came two days ago, and every hour since then I have turned my eyes in the direction of Las Palmas, At last I could wait no longer.** Paloma gasped and Alaire stepped through the French window at her back and Into the brightly lighted living room. Paloma Jones followed as if in a trance. Longorio's bright eyes took a swift inventory of his surroundings; then he 'sighed luxuriously. "How fine!" said he. "How beautiful.! A nest for a bird of paradise!" "Don't you consider this rather a mad adventurer Alaire Insisted. ""Suppose it should become known that you crossed the river?" Longorio snapped his fingers. "I answer to no one; I am supreme. But jour Interest warms my heart; It thrills me to think you care for my Mafety. Thus am I repaid for my days BTmisery." •fou Barely did not**—Paloma swallowed hard—"come alone?" **£o. I took measures to protect my- •elf in case of eventualities.** •*How7* "By bringing with me some of my troopers. Oh, they are peaceable fel- W s T he declared, quickly; "and they m doubtless enjoying themselves with our friend and sympathiser, MoraJea.** "Where r asked Alaire. 1 left them at your pumping plant •enora.** Paloma Jones sat down heavily In the nearest chair. "But yon need have no uneasiness.** Ahtlr* rmsTvered sharply. **It was a very reckless thing to do, and you must not remain here." Longorio drew his evenly arched brows together in a plaintive frown, saying, "You are Inhospitable V Then his expression lightened. "Or Is it," he asked—"is it that you are Indeed apprehensive for me?" Alaire tried to speak quietly. "I should never forgive myself if you came to harm here at my ranch." Longorio sighed. "And I hoped for a warmer welcome—especially since I have done you another favor. You saw that hombre who came with me?** "Yes.** "Well, you would never guess It is your Jose Sanchez. He was distracted at the news of his cousin's murder, and came to me—" "His cousin was not murdered." "Exactly! I told him so when I learned the facts. I said to him, 'Jose, my boy, it is better to do nothing than to act wrongly. Go back to your beautiful employer, be loyal to her, and think no more about this unhappy affair.' It required some argument, I assure you, but—he is here. He comes to ask your forgiveness and to resume his position of trust." "I am glad to have him back if he feels that way. I have nothing whatever to forgive him." "Then he will be happy, and I have served you. That is the end of the matter." With a graceful gesture Longorio dismissed the subject "It Is to be my pleasure," he next inquired, "to meet Senor Austin, your husband?" "I am afraid not." "Too bad. I had hoped to know him and convince him that we federal es are not such a bad people as he seems to think. We ought to be friends, he and I." Under this talk Paloma stirred uneasily, and at the first opportunity burst out: "It's far from safe for you to remain here, General Longorio. This neighborhood Is terribly excited over the death of Ricardo Guzman, and if anyone learned—" "So! Then Guzman is dead?" Longorio inquired, with Interest "Isn't he?" blurted Paloma. "Not so far as 1 can learn. Only today I made official report that nothing whatever could be discovered about him. Certainly he is nowhere in Romero, and It is my personal belief that the poor fellow was either drowned in the river or made way with for his money. Probably the truth will never be known." Longorio had come to spend the evening, and his keen pleasure In Alaire Austin's company made him so indifferent to his personal safety that nothing short of a rude dismissal would have served to terminate his visit Neither Alaire nor her companion, however, had the least Idea how keenly he resented the presence of Paloma Jones. It was a remarkable wooing; on the one hand this half-savage man, gnawed by jealousy, heedless of the illicit nature of his passion, yet held within the bounds of decorum by some fag-end of respectability; and on the other hand, a woman, bored, resentful and tortured at the moment by fear about what was happening at the river bank. It was late when Austin arrived. Visitors at Las Palmas were unusual at any time; hence the sound of strange voices in the brightly lighted living room at such an hour surprised him. He came tramping in, booted and spurred, a belligerent look of Inquiry upon his bloated features. But when he had met his wife's guests, his surprise turned to black displeasure. His own sympathies in the Mexican struggle were so notorious that Longorio's presence seemed to him to have but one possible significance. Why Paloma Jones was here he ootid not imagine, Alaire'o caller remained at ease, and appeared to welcome this chance of meeting Austin. Luis Longorio was the sort of man who enjoys a strained situation, and one who shows to the best advantage under adverse conditions. Accordingly, Ed's arrival, instead of hastening his departure, merely served to prolong his stay. It was growing late now, and Paloma was frantic. Profiting by her first opportunity, she whispered to Alaire, "For God's sake, send him away." Alalre's eyes were dark with excitement. "Yes," said she. "Talk to him, and give me a chance to have a word alone with Ed." The opportunity came when Austin went into the dining room for a drink. Alaire excused herself to follow him. When they were out of sight and hearing, her husband turned upon her with an ugly frown. "What's that greaser doing here?" he asked roughly. "He called to pay his respects. Yon must get him away." "1 must?" Ed glowered at her. "Why don't you? You got him here In my absence. Now that I'm home, you want me to get rid of him, eh? What's the idea?" "Don't be silly. I didn't know he was coming and—he must be crazy to risk such a thing." "Crasyr Ed's lip curled. "He isn't crazy. I suppose he couldn't stay away any longer. By heaven, Alaire—" Alaire checked this outburst with a sharp exclamation: "Don't make a scene! Don't you understand he holds over fifty thousand dollars' worth of La Feria cattle? Don't you understand we can't antagonize him?" "Is that what he came to see you about r* "Yes." Bhe bit her Up. 4T11 explain everything, but—you must help me send him back, right away." Glancing at the clock, Alaire saw that it was drawing on toward midnight; with quick decision she seized her husband by the arm, explaining feverishly: "There is something big going on tonight Ed! Longorio brought a guard of soldiers with him, and left them at our pumphouse. Well, it so happens that Blaze Jones and Mr. Law have gone to the Romero cemetery to get Ricardo Guzman's body." "What?" Austin's red face paled, his eyes bulged. "Yes. That's why Paloma is here. They crossed at our pumping station, and they'll be back at any time, now. If they encounter Longorio's men— You understand?** "Ricardo Guzman's body!** Austin wet his lips and swallowed with difficulty. "Why—do they want his body T "To prove that he is really dead and—to prove who killed him." Noting the effect of these words, Alaire cried sharply, "What's the matter, E d r But Austin momentarily was beyond speech. The decanter from which be was trying to pour himself a drink played a musical tattoo upon his glass; his face had become aahen and pasty. "How many men has he got?" Austin nodded In the direction of the front room, "I don*t know. Probably four or five, What ails you7" Something In her husband's Inexplicable agitation, something in the hunted, desperate way in which his eyes were running over the room, alarmed Alaire. Ed utterly disregarded her question. Catching sight of the telephone, which stood upon a stand in the far corner of the room, he ran to i t and, snatching the receiver, violently oscillated the book. 'Don't do thatr Alaire cried, following him. "Wait I It mustn't get ovt. "Hettol Give me the Lewis ranch— qnlck—Tve forgotten the number.** With bis free hand Ed held bis wife st a distance, muttering- harshly: *Get away now! I know what Tm doing; Get away—d n font* He f a s * Alaire from him as she tried to snatch the instrument out of his hands. "Edl" she crlfcd. "Are you out of your mind? You mustn't—" Their voices were raised now, heedless of the two people in the adjoining room. "Keep your hands off, I tell you. Hello I Is that you, Tad?" Again Austin thrust his wife violently aside. "Listen I Tve Just learned that Dave Law and old man Jones have crossed over to dig up Ricardo's body. Yes, tonight I They're over there now—be back inside of an hour." Alaire leaned weakly against the table, her frightened eyes fixed upon the speaker. "Yes 1 They aim to discover bow he was killed and all about it. They crossed at my pumping plant, and they'll be back tonight, If they haven't already—" The speaker's voice broke, his band was shaking so that he could scarcely retain his hold upon the telephone. "How do I know?" he chattered. "It's up to you. You've got a machine—" "Ed!"'cried the wife. She went toward him on weak, unsteady feet, but she halted as the voice of Longorio cut In sharply: "What's this I hear? Ricardo Guzman's body?" Husband and wife turned. The open double door to the living room framed the tall figure of the Mexican general. CHAPTER XIII. Rangers. Longorio stared first at the huddled, perspiring man beside the telephone, and then at the frightened woman. "Is that the truth?" he demanded harshly. "Yes," Austin answered. "They are bringing the body to this side. You know what that means." "Did you know this?" The general turned upon Alaire. Of the four he was the least excited. From the background Paloma quavered: "You told us Ricardo was not dead, so—It is all right. There is n o - harm done." A brief silence ensued, then Longe» rio shrugged. "Who knows? Let us hope that he suffered no harm on Max* lean soil. That would be serious, indeed ; yes, very serious, for I have given my word to your government. This—David Law"—he pronounced the name carefully, but with a strange foreign accent—"he is a reckless person to defy the border regulations. It Is a grave matter to invade foreign territory on such a mission." Longorio again bent his brilliant eyes upon Alaire. "I see that you are concerned for his safety. You would not desire him to come to trouble, eh? He has done you favors; he Is your friend, as I am. Well"—a mirthless smile exposed his splendid white teeth—"we must think of that. Now I will bid you good night" "Where are you going?" demanded Miss Jones. "To the river, and then to Romero. I may be needed, for those men of mine are stupid fellows, and there is danger of a misunderstanding. In the dark anything may happen. I should like to meet this David Law; he is a man of my own kind." Turning to "Young Ed," he said: "There is reason for haste, and a horse moves slowly. Would you do me the favor, if you have an automobile—" "No! I won't!" Ed declared. "I don't want to see the Rio Grande tonight I won't be Involved—" "But you are already Involved. Come! There Is no time to waste, and I have something to say to you. You will drive me to the river, and my horse will remain here until I return for him.** There was no mistaking the command in Longorio's tone; the master of Las Palmas rose as if under compulsion. He took his hat and the two men left the room. "Oh, Mrs# Austin P Paloma gasped. "They'll be in time, and so will the Lewis gang." "Quick 1 Ed will take his runaboutwell follow in my car." Alaire fled to make herself ready. A few moments later she looked out from her window and saw the headlights of Ed's runabout flash down the driveway to the raid; then she and Paloma rushed to the garage where the touring car stood. "The moon is rising," Paloma half sobbed. "They'll be sure to see us. Do you think we're ahead of Tad Lewis?** "Oh, yes. He hasn't bad time to get here yet but—hell come fast when ho starts. This is the only plan I can think of.** With General Longorio's gang and the Lewis gang wafting te ambush Jones and Law at the pump station, whet ehanos have those two got to save their lives?

Perhaps the most famous lighthouse in the world, certainly the most useful, Is that beacon off the southern Up of England, familiarly and affectionately known to the mariners of the seven seas as "the Eddystone." It flashes its warning from the most dangerous reef on the business road of the seas. Countless thousands of sailors have hailed it as England's first greeting after weary weeks at sea and numberless passengers, gazing Idly % over the rail, have seen Its friendly gleams without giving much thought to the interesting story of It. The Eddystone Is the pattern after which most modern lighthouses are built. It was the first of the type that Is now widely accepted for solid stone construction. The present light Is the fourth to crown the dangerous rocks; Its sturdy defiance of all the storms that blow Is a mute record of success built upon failure. The Eddystone reef was always one of the most dangerous In the world. The name Itself Is derived from the way the water bolls and eddies around the sunken rocks. Centuries ago the need of a light was widely recognized but the problem of construction was too much for the engineers of the day. Finally an eccentric old gentleman who dabbled In mechanics announced that he would build a lighthouse on the rocks, and after his own peculiar notions he constructed a great wooden. tower, ornamented with all manner of carvings and gilding. It was the pride of his heart and he boasted that it could weather any storm that blew. By a strange fatality he himself was in the tower when a wild night swept It away and he perished with It. The quietest people often create the biggest noise in the world.

Go ahead and do your own xteertng and make Wage-Payer sweat. He needs the exercise." The next time the two men embarked on the trip across the river of Competition Wage-Earner decided to take the advice of his false friend, Agitator, so that when Wage-Payer indicated the course they had best -take to avoid the currents and eddies Wage Earner snapped out: "It's u waste of time and strength to "Say. we're not getting anywhere this way." take that course. You just want to see me work overtime. I'm going to pull this boat the other way." Whereupon Wage-Earner, instead of seating himself with his back to Wage- Payer, plumped himself down with his face to the prow of the boat and began to pull strenuously at the oars. " I I — , I I » Wage-Payer remonstrated, insisting that the course Wage-Earner wished to take was dangerous and if pursued would lead to the destruction of the boat. Then finding that words were of no avail, Wage-Payer angrily seized the oars and began to pull with all his strength in the direction he thought was right. For some <ime the men continued to row violently, and their misdirected efforts almost capsized the boat, which see-sawed back and forth but made no definite progress in either direction. But perspiration is a great mental clarlfier, and after the boat-mates had sweated profusely they stopped rowing, mopped their brows and took ac count of their bearings. "Say, we are not getting a n y w h e r e this way," blurted out Wage-Payer. "I guess not," reluctantly admitted Wage-Earner. "Maybe w« can come to some understanding."

A parley followed, during which Wage-Eurner ami Wage-Payer frank ly stated their grievances against each other und cuine to the inevitable con elusion that they had allowed trilles to estrange them. Gigantic grievances have a disconcerting way of dwindling into pygmies when subjected to dispus d o n a t e scrutiny. The upshot of the matter was that Wage-Earner acknowledged Wage-Payer's superior know I edge of the river and permitted him to guide the boat. The trip was made in better time than ever before because the spirit of co-operation lent strength to the rowers' strokes. When it came time for the feast on the shore of Success, Wage-Earner wn-; agreeably surprised to find t h a t bis dish of profits w a s generous enough to appease his appetite. if the accompanying illustration «< showed a birdseye view of the shore from which the rowers started you would notice t h a t Agitator w a s con spicuous by his absence. Modesty is one of Agitator's chief virtues. He's always willing .to give Wage-Earner the credit for any trouble that has been started. Personally we think it would be safer for Agitator to refrain from hanging "VWve mads it." around the w a t e r front anyhow, for ir he is anywhere within pushing distance of the river there's going to be an awful splash when Wage Earner gets back.—C.

Red Cross Society To Be Organized Under the reorganization of the State of Michigan with the County unit system it becomes necessary to organize a Livingston County Chapter if any Red Cross work is done in the county. The immediate object of the organization is to form branches in various parts of the county and through these branches to canvass the entire county |for members. Livingston County should secure no less than 3000 members. No field service ip required of membeea. One half of the annaal dues goes to National Headquarters for general use; the remaining half of the dues and all gifts may be retained by the Chapter or Branch to use at its own discretion; 1.-For equipping the boys of our own County who may enlist or be drafted. 2.-For any great disaster* in the County. 3.—For supplies for the soldier9 in the field. 4. —For any cause which the Chapter or Branch may decide as worthy and and belonging to Red Cross work. We call upon the people of Livingston County to respond generously to this opportunity for every man, woman and child to do his bit. Mrs. W. P. Van Winkle, Chairman. Frances I. Huntington, Sec. P. H. S. Difeats South Lyons Last Friday afternoon the Pinckney High School ball team defeated the South Lyons team in a. rather onesided g*me, 14 to 4. The first half of the game looked very much like a shutout for Sooth Lyons the score standing 10 to 0 before they ^ere able to get a ran. The Pinckney boys put up some good batting and fielding and though South Lyons switched their battery around every way possible they could not stop the hard hitting. McClear and Shehan were the battery for Pinckney. Pinckney has not been beat«n on their home grounds this year and the prospect for a good team next year is the best ever. Hi Istein Cattle For^Sale A great many inqoiries are being received concerning Holstein cattle of all descriptions, both grades and purebreds, and in order that somej definite information may be available for Jprospective purchasers, the Livingston County Farm Bureau is preparing a list of cattle for sale. Everyone who has Holstein cattle for sale, either grades or registered is urged tolhittbem. Such a list will be of great value to the Coun ty Agent in answering inquiries and will assist owners in making gales. Buyers from other states write to ask whether there is a sufficient supply so that they can buy cattle of a certain kind or age in carload lots.

Spain, at one time by far the most powerful of European natiffs, was the earliest power to contract a national debt, which In 1556 only amounted to the modest sum of £1,000,000. By 1610 It had grown to £40,000,000 under Philip III., after whose death the whole of it was repudiated. France in 1043 began to incur her debt, chiefly through the war* of Loui* XIV. and the lavish expenditure in building Versailles. In the later year* of Loots XVI. this amouated to £4tSS.- 000,000, only to be repudiated on the establishment of the republic, when aotne creditors received 33 per <*nt and others nothing Clark-Poole A romance which began a year ago culminated May 22nd in the marriage of Glenn L.

She has to remain there 24 hours, until Law captures his man, kills another and escorts her home. "Young Ed" Austin, drunkard, berates his wife and makes insulting insinuations about the ranger. Law discovers Austin is leagued with Mexican rebels and horse thieves. Mrs. Austin encounters Oen. Luis Longorio, Mexican federal, when she goes to La Feria, her Mexican ranch, to collect war damages, and he makes odious love to her. Dave Law kills a cattle thief. Mrs. Austin gives him a horse and discovers he is secretly in love with her. " ^ • • \ . £ > i •••>• Bar"^r. -5. <7I >.-•••, ' r ' • ' • • ' . ' . • * » .• ,••• CHAPTER XI—Continued. — 1 1 — A new moon was swinging in the *ky a s Alaire and Dave rode back toward Las Palmas. How or when Alalre Austin came to feel that this man loved her, she never knew. Certainly she knew tonight, and, strange to say, the knowledge did not disturb her. Alalre had been repelled by Luis Longorio's evident love for her, but a similar emotion in this man's breast bad quite the opposite effect. She was eager for friendship, hungry for affection, starved for that worship which every woman lives upon. Having e wholesome confidence in her own strength of character, and complete faith in Law's sense of honor, she was neither alarmed nor offended. For the first time in years she allowed her Intimate thoughts free expression, and spoke of her hopes, her Interests, and her efforts; under t h e spell of the moonlight, she even confided something about those dreams that kept her company and robbed her world of its sordidness. Dave Law discovered that she lived in a fanciful land of unrealities, and the glimpse he gained of it was delightful. Supper was waiting when they arrived at Las Palmas, and Dolores announced that "Young Ed" had telephoned from the Lewis ranch that he would not be home. Yielding to a sudden impulse, Alaire said to her companio'n: "You must dine with me. Dolores will show you to a room. I will be ready in half an hour." The Austin ranchnouse offered a contrast to the majority of Texas country homes. Not for many years had Dave Law treen a guest amid such surroundings, and he began to feel more and more out of place. With growing discomfort he realized that the mistress of this residence was the richest woman in all this part of Texas, and that he was little better than a tramp. Alalre knew how to be a gracious and winning hostess; of course she did not appear to notice her guest's embarrassment. She had rather welcomed the thought that this man cared for her. and yet, had she deliberately planned to dampen his feeling, she could hardly have succeeded better than by showing him the wide disparity In their lives and situations, Dave was dismayed; he felt very poor and ridiculous, Alalre was no longer the woman h e had ridden with through the solitudes; her very friendliness seemed to be a condescension. He did not linger long after they had dined, for he wished to be alone, where he could reach an understanding with himself. On the steps he waited just • moment f o r Alaire t o mention. If she chose, that subject which they had still left open on the night before. Beading his thought, she s a i d : "You are expecting me to say something about Panfllo Sanchez." "Yes." «1 have thought It over; In fact, I have been thinking about It all day; hut even yet I don't know what to tell you. As for its effect upon myself— you know I care very little what people say or think." «Tm sorry I killed t h e fellow—I ehouMn't have done i t but—one sees things differently out tn the rough and here In the settled country. I can't help Wt feel that his conduct, under tho circumstances, called for—what he got 3 r wasn't a good man, la spite of what Jos* says; Anto confessed to BM that they were planning all sorts of davtltry together." •That Is hardly an excuse," Alalre wot* tetany. •Oh, I know r Dave agreed. "Don* on my account" I Vm not ttilakSng of the eotv ls fM or to tea. ton am self, I'm sure; your very ability in that direction frightens me a little on Jose's account. But''—she sighed and lifted her shoulders in a shrug—"perhaps time will decide this question for us." Dave laughed with some relief. MI think you've worried yourself enough over it, ma'am," he said; "splitting hairs as to what's right and what's wrong, when it doesn't matter much, in either case. Suppose you continue to think it over a t your leisure." "Perhaps I'd better. And now"— Alalre extended her hand—"won't you and Montrosa come to see me once In a while? I'm very lonesome." "We'd love to," Dave declared. He had it on his lips to say more, but a t that moment an eager whinny and an Impatient rattle of a bridle bit came from the driveway, and he smiled. "There's her acceptance now." "Oh, no! She merely heard your voice, the fickle creature." Alaire watched her guest until he had disappeared into the shadows, then she heard him talking to t h e mare. Benito's words a t the rodeo occurred to her, and she wondered If this Ranger might not also have a way with women. The house was very still and empty when she re-entered it. CHAPTER X I I . The Guzman Incident Rlcardo Guzman did not return from Romero. The man had disappeared, it seemed, completely and mysteriously. At first the facts appeared plain: a citizen of the United Stater had been lured across the border and done to death by Mexican soldiers—for It soon became evident that Ricardo was dead. The outrage was a casus belli such as no self-respecting people could Ignore; so ran the popular verdict The ominous mailed serpent which lay along the Rio Grande stirred itself. Of course, the people of Texas were delighted that the long-delayed hour had struck; accordingly, when the state department manifested Its willingness to allow Don Rlcardo ample time in which to come to life in prefe r e n c e ^ putting a further strain upon international relations, they were both surprised and enraged. Telegraph wires began to buzz; the governor of the state sent a sarcastic message to the national capital, offering to dispatch a company of Rangers after Guzman's body, just to prove that he was indeed dead, and that the Mexican authorities were lying when they professed Ignorance of the fact This offer not only caught the popular .fancy north of the Rio Grande, hut it likewise had an effect on the other side of the river, for on the very next day General Luis Longorio set out for Romero t o Investigate personally the rancher's disappearance. Now, throughout all this public* clamor, truth, as usual, lay hidden at the bottom of Its well, and few even of Rlcardo's closest friends suspected the real reason for his murder. Jonesville, of course, could think or talk of little else than this outrage, and Blaze Jones, as befitted its leading citizen, was loudest Is his criticism of the government's policy. Blaze's conception of diplomacy was peculiar. "Tf Potosi dldnt talk straight that consul oughta bent a gun bar*l over the old ruffian's bean and telephoned for a couple hundred battleships. We Americans are cussed with notions of brotherly love and universal peace. Bah! We're bound to have war, Dave, some day or other.** Dave nodded his agreement Tea* But everybody has the wrong Idea of this Gasmen knUng. The federal officers in Romero didn't frame tt sjgy* "Not Whodldr T a d Lewis." "Listen 1 Tud was afraid to let Urblna come to trial. Rlcardo's dead and the other witness Is gone. Now draw your own conclusions." Jones was amazed. "Say, Dave," he cried, "that means your case has blown up, eh?" "Absolutely. Lewis has been selling 'wet' stock to the federals, and he probably arranged with some of them to murder Rlcardo." Blaze cursed eloquently. *Td like to hang it onto Tad; Td sure clean house down his way if I was positive." "I sent a man over to Romero," Dave explained further. "He tells me Rlcardo is dead, all right There's a new grave in the little cemetery above the town, but there hasn't been a death In Romero lately." The speaker watched his friend closely. "If we had Rlcardo's body on this side It would put an end to all the lies, and perhaps force Colonel Blanco to make known the real facts. It might even mean a case agalnRt Tad Lewis." "What d'you say we go over there and get Ricardo T* Dave smiled. "That's what I've been leading up to. Will you take a chance?" "Yes." "I knew you would. AH we need Is a pair of Mexicans to—do the work. I liked Ricardo ; I owe him something." "Suppose we're caught?" "In that case well have to run for It and—I presume Til be discharged from the Ranger service." "I ain't very good at runnln'—not from Mexicans." Blaze's eyes were bright and hard at the thought "It's more'n possible that if they discover us, we can start a nice little war of our own." That evening Dave managed to get his Ranger captain by long-distance telephone, and for some time the two talked, guardedly. When Dave rang off they had come to a thorough understanding. • • • • • • * It had been an easy matter for Jose Sanchez to secure a leave of absence from Benito, but Alaire knew nothing whatever about the matter until Jose himself asked permission to see her on a matter of importance. The man had ridden hard most of the previous night and his excitement was patent. Even before he spoke, Alalre realized that Panfllo's fate was known to him, and she decided swiftly that there must be no further concealment "Senoro ! A terrible thing!" Jose burst forth. "It Is strange, unbelievable! My head whirls—" Alalre quieted him, saying in Spanish, "Calm yourself, Jose, and tell me everything from the beginning." ••But how can I be calm? Panfllo Is completely dead. But—you know?" Alalre nodded. "I—suspected." JoBe's dark eyes blazed; he bent forward eagerly. ,rWhat did you suspect and why? Tell me all." It was with a peculiar, apprehensive flutter In her breast that Alaire realized the crisis had come. Heretofore she had blamed Law, but now, oddly enough, she found herself Interested In defending him. As calmly as she could, she related all that had led up to the tragedy, while Jose listened with eyes wide and mouth open. T o n see, I had no suspicion of the truth." she concluded. "It was a terrible thing, and Mr. Law regrets It deeply. He would haye made a report to the authorities, only—he % feared i t might embarrass me." Jose was torn with rage, yet plainly a prey to Indecision; he rolled his eyes and cursed under his breath. T h e s e Rangers r he muttered. T h a t Is the kind of men they are. They murder honest people.** •This was not a murder," Alalre cried sharply. "Panfllo was siding a felon to escape. The courts will not punish Mr. Law." "Bah! Who cares for the courts? This man Is a gringo, and these are gringo laws. But I am a Mexican, and Panfllo was my cousin. We shall 'Don't be rash, Jose," she exclaimed, warnlngly. Jose continued to glower. Then, turning away, he said, without meeting his employer's -eyes, *T -would like to draw my money." "Vary welL t am sorry to have yon leave Las Palmas, for I have regarded yon as one of my gente." Jose's face remained stony. "What do yon Intend to dot Whore are yoo g o t e g r Tbe fallow shrugged. "Oaten sabet Perhaps I shall go to my Ososral Lon- •Intra faintly. *Um wta hs have little to eat and no money at all." But Jose's bright eyes remained hostile and his expression baffling. It was plain to Alaire that her explanation of his cousin's death had carried not the slightest conviction, and she even began to fear that her part In the affair had caused him to look upon her as an accessory. Nevertheless, when she paid him his wages she gave him a good horse, which Jose accepted with thanks but without gratitude. As Alalre watched him ride away with never a backward glance, she decided that she must lose no time In apprising the Ranger of this new condition of affairs. She drove her automobile to Jonesville that afternoon, more worried than she cared to admit Law was nowhere in town, and so, In spite of her reluctance, Alaire waa forced to look for him at the Jones home. As she had never called? upon Paloma, and had made it almost impossible for the girl to visit Las Palmas, the meeting of the two women was somewhat formal. But no one could long remain stiff or constrained with Paloma Jones; the girl had a directness of manner and an honest friendly smile that simply would not be denied. Her delight that Alalre had come to see her pleased and shamed the elder woman, who hesitatingly confessed the object of her visit "Oh, I thought you were calling on me." Paloma pouted her pretty lips, *T>ave Isn't here. He and father— have'gone away." It needed no close observation to discover the concern in Paloma's eyes; Alalre told her story quickly. "Mr. Law must be warned right away," she added, "for the man i s capable of anything." . Paloma nodded. "Dave told us how he had killed Panfllo—" She hesitated, and then cried, impulsively: "Mrs. Austin, I'm going to confess somethlng^—rve got to tell somebody or I'll burst I was walking the floor when you came. Well, dad and Dave have completely lost their wits. They have gone across the river—to get Rlcardo Guzman's body." "What!" Alalre stared at the girl uncomprehendlngly. "My dear girl, aren't you dreaming?" "I thought I must be when I heard about i t Dad wouldn't have told me at alL only he thought I ought to know in case anything happens to him." Paloma's breath failed her momentarily. "They left an hour ago in my machine, with two Mexicans to help them. They Intend to cross at your pumping plant as soon as it gets dark, and be back by midnight—that is, If they ever get back." Paloma's face was pale, Jier eyes were strained and tragic She made a hopeless gesture, and Alalre wondered momentarily whether the girl's anxiety was keenest for the safety of her father or—the other? "Can't we prevent them from going?" she inquired. "What can we do? They'll go, anyhow, regardless of what we say." "Well, we could be there—you and Ltt Paloma agreed eagerly. T e s l Maybe we could even help them If they got Into trouble." "Come, then! Well have supper st Las Palmas and slip down to the river and wait" Strang* complications grow out of Jones' and Urw*a adventure on the Mexican side.

They should be carefully read so that you will have your answers ready when you go before the registrar. •'All answers will be written on the registration card in ink by the registrar, who should be careful to spell all name* correctly and to write legibly. "1. Name in full. Age in years, "This means all your names spelled out In full. "State your age today in years only. Disregard additional months or days. Be prepared to say 'nineteen' or *twenty-flve,' not 'nineteen years three months' or the like. "2. Home address. "This means the place where you have your permanent home, not the place where you work. Be prepared to give the address in this way: '232 Main street, Chicago.

The registrar will then fill in the year of birth. Many people do not carry In mind the year they were born. This may be obtained by the registrar by subtracting the age In years on this year's birthday from 1917. **4.

SITUATION Embarking of Brazilian Merchantmen Makes 8tat* of Neutrality Untenable, President Declares. Rio de Janerio—The chamber of deputies by a vote of 19 to 3, revoked the declaration of neutrality In the war between -the United States nad Germany. The resolution empowers President Bras to take necessary steps to protect and defend Braxil** integrity against aggression, past and prospective. The first step is expected to take the shape of a flat declaration of war. The situation strikingly resembles that in the United States prior to the final break between that country and Germany. A state of neutrality was rendered untenable, both the president and premier had informed the congress in speeches, by the sinking of a second Brazilian merchantman by a German U-boat. One of the first acts of the government will be the utilisation—not confiscation— of German vessels interned In Brazilian ports. UNCLE SAM HITS DRAFT FOES Secret 8ervlce to Arrest Agitators Against Conscription. Washington—The entire secret service force of the department of justice has been brought Into action to ferret out persons and organizations in various parts of the country who have more or less candidly urged defiance of the selective draft degistration provisions. Ever since the president signed the bill that will require more than 10,- 000,000 Americans to hold themselves ready for a call to the colors, evidence of efforts to defeat the law has been piling up. The government will demand the severest penalties upon any persons caught interfering with the operation of the registration next Tuesday. That a person is sincerely an advocate of peace and believes the conscription law "undemocratic" will not save him. Agents of the department are particularly active in New York, Illinois, parts of Missouri and on the Pacific coast, where the I. W. W. is reported to have waged a campaign against registration.

The war department has temporarily cancelled all requisitions of the Michigan National Guard, and until mobilization time, July 15, or shortly before that date, "rookies" in the various outfits of the guard will have to be content with cotton suits. That is all the state has on hand. "The department, because of the equipping of the new armies, notified us that our requisitions were cancelled tor the time being, but that we should re-enter them June 15," said Colonel Rogers. "The state baa on hand some oats, some leggings and plenty of cotton suits, which we will ship by express to those units. We bought a -lot of shoes In the open market so that we have them. "The whole proceeding is only temporary and perhaps would not have been noticed had not the Detroit companies demanded some time ago full wool uniform a. I had to tell them to send me a requisition for cotton. In that way the cancellation of the war department became public property. There is no accasion for any alarm. The government will have plenty of wool by the time it wants us to have I t It Is almost time for cotton now anyhow." Oardenlntt Course at M. A. C. Officers for Michigan's army behind the hoe will be trained this summer at the Michigan Agricultural college, where special courses will be offered during the summer school, from June 25 to August 3. These courses have been planned to instruct school teachers, and others engaged in similar callings, in details of organisation work and garden technique, and will enable them to direct these activities. The gardening courses will be only a few of 100 offered on the campus during the six weeks' term. Others will be to train the students in canning and drying arts, some wlM present such subjects as "rural lead. eT8hip" and still others will cover the usual scientific and academic courses such as mathematics, chemistry, botany and English, The possibility that many of the large number of Michigan citizens who are planting potatoes this season for the first time may attempt to plant new potatoes has induced tuber specialists of the Michigan Agricultural college to sound a warning. New potatoes, they say, must be allowed a resting period of at least four weeks before they can be safely planted. "Citizens can render service at this time," the potato men say, "if they will buy for table use the new southern stock now on the market. This will relieve the demand on the supply of old potatoes, ail of which are needed as seed." Factories Asked About Farm Help. A definite plan of getting in touch with the former farm labor now em* ployed is the factories and industrial plants of the state has been decided on by the food preparedness committee. Blanks are prepared which are being sent to every factory la the state. Upon these the name, ace and condition of every man in the factory who came from the farm is requested; also • whether or not ha will return for a ' short time ami whether or not the employer will let him go. When these are received properly filled out, it la expected that the committee will be in a position to send competent help to almost any farmer who wants it. The labor problem now looms larger than ever. From all parts of the state come requests for labor not for the e*act present, but for the future. First Mobilisation of Stats Troops.

By EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington.—Everybody in Washington knows that the National Guard problem has been a vexing one f ° r the war department to solve. Some of the regiments in a few of the states never have been efficient and probably never could be made efficient under state control so long as indifference to the service continued in some places to prevail. The government is going to take over at first only such of those National Guard regiments, not already federalized, as have met with all the requirements of the law in equipment, numbers and efficiency. The National Guard regiments under the present plan—under the law, In fact—will continue to wear the badge of state service when they become a part of Uncle Sam's troops, but otherwise to all effects, purposes and appearances they will be a part of the regular army. Unless the Guard by volunteer enlistments is recruited to its full strength prior to the time that the federal government takes over such state organizations as are not enrolled in its service, the provisions of the Hay bill for recruiting the Guard organizations will be foregone, and the men needed to complete the quotas will be chosen under the selective conscription rule. This means that when the United States takes hold of the task of filling the regiments no man over thirty-one years of age will be added to the forces. The regular army authorities have been disturbed by reports from here, there and elsewhere that ambitious politicians and others were raising companies, regiments and even brigades with the idea of offering their services en masse. It was the intention of some of these organizations, if means could be found to do It, to enter the National Guard. The desire of Washington has been that the National Guard should be recruited in a way to prevent the entering Into it of cliques or sets of men whose binding tie was political, racial, (other than American) or even religious. Cavalry to Become Artillery. It has been said that some of the National Guard cavalry regiments, perhaps all of them, may be turned into field artillery regiments. There Is not much use for cavalry on the west front in the present war, although of course there must be some cavalry for emergencies. Mounted troops when they are needed will be needed badly. Artillery, however, is a prime neces*- sity, and as the troopers of the National Guard know horses and know how to ride them, they will be especially useful In artillery outfits which use horse power for changes of base and "coming into battery." The officers of the army watched the various National Guard regiments on the border closely. One Pennsylvania Infantry regiment, the Second, was by the direction of the federal authorities turned into a field artillery outfit overnight. It is far advanced now In its drill and It probably will go to France with one of the early, expeditions which the government sends to the fighting line. If such cavalry regiments of the Guard are given a change of service and of weapons, they need not worry much about delay in sending them to the scene of action. All they will have to do Is to learn their new duties quickly, and then they can rest assured that with their field guns they will be put on ships and tent overy Pus* Detreit-ftay City At the avosVraads top*** the) apiBayOHr. it of a* DtttglJB Sere of Early Participation, Within the next few weeks the regular army Is to be raised, if the volunteer method can compass it, to Its full war strength of nearly 300,000 men. If the volunteering shall fall^conscriptlve methods will be used, but the end will be the same and the regular force will have thousands upon thousands of men greener than any Guardsman who has had the state soldier's training. Regiments of the National Guard, therefore, with the regulars and on equal terms with them, probably win find themselves on the first line of the nation's offense. The one qualification necessary is to any that application is only to those Guard organisations that are fully recruited, that have met with the approval of the federal authorities and that saw service on the border. Almost unquestionably the f ederalised Guard will find ltaatt at the front as quickly as the rafulan except for those few seasoned reglmenta of the) standing army watch probably win be swat Into the flfht aaioaty. «. ,** •VJ".

Two thins* have worked to the end of quick aervice for the federalized state troopsservice "on the border and the means being taken to recruit the regular army up to its full war strength. . The new regiment* for the National army in the main part are to be built up around a nucleus of men of seasoned service, but in each organization the recruits will outnumber the veterans. This means that it will take some time for most of the regiments of regulars to reach as an entirety the standard of proficiency which some of the National Guard outfits are maintaining today. Building Up the Army. A regiment of regular infantry, for instance, will be split into three battalions, and with each battalion as a nucleus, a new regiment will be constructed. Taking it on the three-battalion basis, there will be two battallions of recruits to one of veterans In the new organizations. Of course this proportion will not run through the entire army, but it will come pretty close to so doing, because virtually 200,000 men will have been added to the standing force, which at the beginning consisted of only about 100,000 men. It can be seen, therefore, readily enough that a regiment of National Guardsmen which has seen service on the border and which has been kept intact in spirit, in discipline and in drill, will for its main part be in better trim for front service than a regiment of regulars two-thirds of whom are now in the business. Of course the regular-army men will have the advantage of training given by officers of long, hard service. The recruits in the course of a few months will attain the standard of their companion regulars, and the new regiments in trim and efficiency will be equal to the organizations as they existed before being split up into small units about which to build up new formations. Russia and American Help. It is only in the most general way probably that the commission to Russia of which Ellhu Root is the chief was given Instructions. The members have, of course, a guiding principle, but they will be moved to this course or to that by conditions as they exist in Russta. With American engineers on their way to Russia and with this othei commission of "pleading and instruction" starting on its way, Washington is looking half fearfully, half hopefully to the future. What is to be accomplished by American effort in the Land of Doubt? It is known definitely that the rock on which the chief structure of hope of success is founded is that which wllJ bear up strongly the direct statements of the Americans that no democracy with hope for its future as a democratic state can afford to break faith with other democracies and to make terms with despotism. Everything which has come to the officials in Washington from Russia bears out first belief that the masses of the people of the new republic do not understand the situation as it is related specifically to a conflict be* tween democracy and autocracy. American socialists have told American nonsociallsts that millions of Russians see simply In the present situation a chance to secure peace for themselves and thereby to help in the securing of a permanent peace for the whole world. Russian Masses Must Be Taught There is the blackness of ignorance throughout a great part of Russia and for it the former czar and his men and his methods have been held responsible. The enlightenment so socialists here say, that is needed is one which will make plain to the Russians the pathway of a democracy's duty in such a war as this. American socialists, or some of them, at any rate, believs that liberty so recently founded In Russia will be lost quickly to some "Man on Horseback" If pledges to the allies are repudiated and peace is sought with Germany. Bo it is that the belief, seemingly substantial. Is that Elihn Root and his colleagues will do what they can almost on the Instant of their arrival in Russia to impress upon the leaders and the people, the worklngmen and the soldiers that the surest way to lose the gift of freedom Is to make friends with freedom's enemies. It has been held In Washington that a plan of American participation in the campaigns In Europe unquestionably would Include one for participation in the fighting on the east front Pour American army officers are accompanying the commission to Russia. One of them is a campaigner of .many years, a strategist and a man known for his persuasive powers. It seems altogether unlikely that MaJ. Gen. Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff of the United 8tates army, would have bees sent with the commission unless the intention, if Russia holds firm.

A nation-wide cry is being made for more economy and greater production, and probably never was the need of foodstuffs equal to that of the present. Grain prices are the highest in the nation's history and today the agricultural fields of America offer inducements that are unequaled in any other line uf commerce or business. The ideal life la that close to nature, enjoying the freedom of God's great outdoors and fulfilling a duty to humanity by producing from a fertile soil that which la essential to the very existence of a less fortunate people who are actually starving to death for foodstuffs that can be produced so economically In the United States and Canada. High prices for all grain, undoubtedly, will be maintained for a number of years, and it appears a certainty that the agriculturist will reap a bounteous return for his labor and at the same time carry out the#demands of patriotic citizenship. A wrong conception has been generally noticed as to "Life on the Farm." It has been, to a large extent, considered as only a place to live peacefully and afford a living for those who are satisfied with merely a comfortable existence. Such a wrong Impression has been created, in a measure, by the lack of systematic business principles to farming In general. But today farming and agriculture have been given a supremucy In the business world and require the game advanced methods as any other line of commerce. In no other business does a system adoption pay better than on the farm, and it Is certain that there is no other line of work, that, generally speaking, needs it as much. The old idea of getting a living off the farm and not knowing how it was made and following up the details of each branch of farming to get the maximum of profit, at the least expense, is fast being done away with. Farming is now being considered as a business and a living is not sufficient for the modern agriculturist; a small per cent on the investment is not enough, the present-day farmer must have a percentage return equal to that of other lines of business. The prices for produce are high enough, but the cost of producing has been the factor, in many places, that has reduced the profit. It is the application of a system to the cost of various work on the farm that It is possible to give figures on profits made In graln«growlng in Western Canada. Mr. C. A. Wright of Mllo, Iowa, bought a hundred and sixty acres of land in Western Canada for $3,300 in December, 1915, and took his first crop from it In 1916. After paying for the land in full and the cost of cultivating it and marketing the grain, he sold his grain at $1.55 a bushel (a low price compared with the present market), had a surplus of $2,472.67. His figures are as follows: 4,487 bushels worth $1.55 at Champion $8,954.85—$6,954.85 Threshing bill l i e per bushel 493.57 Seed at 95c 144.00 Drilling 160.00 Cutting 160.00 Twine 50.00 Shocking 40.00 Hauling to town 8c 134.61 Total cost 1,182.18 Cost of land 3,800.00 R4S2.13—$4,482.18 Net profit after paying for farm and all cost $2,472.07 S. Joseph and Sons of Des Moines, Is„ are looked upon as being shrewd, careful business men. Raving soma spare money on hand, and looking for a suitable investment, they decided to purchase Canadian lands, and farm them. With the assistance of the Canadian Government Agent, at Des Moines, la., they made selection near Champion, Alberta. They put 240 seres of land in wheat, and in writing to Mr. Hew* ltt, The Canadian Government Agent at Des Moines, one of the members of the firm says: "I have much pleasure in advising you that on our farm five miles east of Champion, In the Province of Alberta, Canada, this year (1910) we harvested and threshed 10,- 000 bushels of wheat from 240 acres, this being an average of 44 bushels and 10 pounds to the acre. A considerable portion of the wheat was No. 1 Northern, worth at Onantptoa, approximately $148 per bushel, making a total return of $19,(10, or an a*- stage of $8L70 per acre groat yields. And by aid of a thorough system were able to keep the cost of growing-wheat at about 25 cents a bushel.." Messrs. Smith & Sons of Vulcan, Alberta, are growers of wheat on a large scale and have demonstrated that there is greater profit in Western Canada wheat-raising than probably in any other business anywhere. Speaking of their experience Mr. Smith says: "I have three sections of land at the present time and am farming yearly 1.200 to 1.400 acres of land. My returns from the farm for the past two years have been around 200%, that Is for every dollar I have spent I have received three, now I do not know where you can do that well. '"This is surely the country for the man with the small capital as the land Is still reasonable in price, payments In long term and work of all kinds for every man to do. I feel that rf I was turned out here without a dollar that In less than ten years I could own a section of land and have It well equipped." Western Canada's soil and climate Is suitable to graining large and profitable yields of wheat. Many so large that those not acquainted with the facts hesitate to believe the reports sent out by the farmers in that country. As an evidence of their sincerity in reporting correct yields affidavits of a couple of grain growers are reproduced. "I, Newell J. Noble, or the town of Nobleford, Province of Alberta, do solemnly declare that from 1,000 acres of wheat on the said farm there was, In the season of 1916, threshed 54,395 bushels of wheat, being at the average of 54 bushels and 23 pounds per acre. And that from 394.69 acres of oats on the said farm, there was threshed in the said season of 1916, 48,506 bushels of oats, being at the average of 122 bushels and 30 pounds per acre. "And I make thus solemn declaration conscientiously, believing it to be true and knowing ^hat. It is of the same force and effect as If made under oath and by virtue of The Canada Evidence Act." NEWELL J. NOBLE. A Woman Takes Affidavit as to Yields.—On January 4, 1917, Mrs. Nancy Coe of Nobleford made oath as follows : In the matter of yield of wheat, oats and flax on my farm for harvest of 1916, I, Nancy Coe, of the town of Nobleford, Province of Alberta, do solemnly declare that I threshed from 115 acres on my farm 6,110 bushels of wheat (machine measure, which it Is believed will hold out in weights fully —about three-fourths of the crop already having been weighed), being at the average of 53 bushels and 8 pounds per acre, and that from 48 acres of flax on stubble ground, I threshed 993 bushels of flax, being at an average of 20 bushels and 38 pounds per acre, and that from 5,06 acres of oats I threshed 580 bushels, machine measure, being at an average of 115 bushels and 27 pounds per acre. —Advertisement.

Nevertheless tbe company, through its representation plan, has not only ear* \ ried on social and industrial betterment • work on a comprehensive scale but has succeeded In settling all grievances without friction and without interference from the outside. During the year several Increases In pay have been made upon the initiative of tbe company. Altogether the plan has demonstrate ed itself to an important forward step in the establishment of amicable relations between all the factors in industry. A more widespread adoption of such* schemes in plants and factories is heartily recommended by the broad-minded manufacturers of the country who have started the National Industrial Conservation Movement for the purpose of getting employers and employees together. The supporters of the conservation movement realize that the captain of industry and the worklngman must fight shoulder to • shoulder to protect American Industry | against conditions that are sure to •prevail after the War. Workers Elect Representativee. The Industrial Representation plan was adopted in its present form by the directors of the company and by a referendum vote of the workmen. By secret ballot tbe workmen In the company's various plants select representatives who act as their authorized agents in all matters pertaining to employment, living and working conditions, the adjustment of differences, and other matters of mutual concern and interest On the other hand, the Mr. and Mrs. B.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, May 24th, 1917 No 21 Hemorial Day Proclamation ty the Governor Well-nigh three score years have passed since our fathers took up arms for the cause of the Union.

Year by year their ranks grow thinner, One by one their comrades leave them. Fox many years our people have gone forth un Memorial Day to place flowers on the graves of those veterans of the great civil -war who have gone beyond, and to pay a tribute of respect to those who still remain. It is a beautiful custom. May the time never come when it shall die out.

The ^reat powers across the sea came to d^ath grips. Men's hearts melted within them. In Europe a deep seated earthquake seemed to heave up the basis of civil life, end the tribunals of men, and the thrones of monarchs, and the temples of God were shaken to their lowest atom of their structure. Still we hoped that our own- land would fare free. Neutral we would remain and go calmly about our peaceful pursuits. It was not to be. The menace to human freedom became too frightful; and today we are at war. Our sons are being drafted. Our daughters are enlisting under the Red Cross banner. Prom ocean to ocean the nation is-girding up its loins for the fray. This too is a right eon a war. We did not want war. We did our best to keep out of war; but there was no escape from the situation. The rights of all neutrals were being contemptuously disregarded. The freedom of the seas was beiug denied us. American citizens were being slaughtered in defiance of international law and all the rules of civilize<$ warfare. Democracy was being slowly throttled, and our very existence as a free nation was being threatened. This ruthless war rang out a strident challenge to our manhood. Our cause then is a just cause. It is the cause of human freedom. We stand up for the rights of humanity and fling out a banner to the nations.

The president signed the army bill just after dinner at 8 p. m. on Friday, without formality, and set June 5 as the date of registration for all men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one for military service. President Issues Proclamation. President Wilson's proclamation, putting Into effect the selective draft provision of the war army bill, signed last night, follows in part: "A proclamation by the president of the United States: "Whereas, Congress has enacted and the president has on the 18th day of Muy, one thousand nine hundred and seventeen, approved a law which contains the following provisions: "Section 5. That all male persons between the ages of twenty-one and thirty, both inclusive, shall be subject to registration in accordance with regulations to he prescribed by the president ; and upon proclamation by the president or other public notice given by him or by his direction, stating the time and place on such registration, it shall be the duty of all persons of the designated ages, except officers and enlisted men of the regular army, the navy and the National Guard and naval militia while in the service of the United States, to present themselves for and submit to registration under the provisions of this act, and every such person shall be deemed to have notice of the requirements of this act upon the publication of said proclamation or other notice as aforesaid given by the president or by his direction; and any person who shall willfully fail or refuse to present himself for registration or to submit thereto as herein provided, shall be guilty of a nilsderaennor and shall, upon conviction ID the district court of the United States having jurisdiction thereof, be punished by imprisonment for not more tlinn one year, and shall thereupon be duly registered; provided, that in the call of the docket precedence shall be tfven in courts trying the same, to the trial of criminal proceedings under this act: Provided further, that persons shall be subject to registration as herein provided who shall have attained their twenty-first birthday and who shall not have attained their thirty- first birthday on or before the day set for registration, and all persons so registered shall be and remain subject to draft into the forces hereby authorized, unless exempted or excused therefrom as In this act provided. Registration on June 5. VNow, therefore, I Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States, do call npon the governor of each of the several states and territories, the board of commissioners of the District of Columbia and all officers and agents of the several states and territories, 'of the District of Columbia and of the counties and municipalities therein to perform certain duties in the execution of the foregoing law, which duties will be communicated to. them directly In regulations of even 6n.te herewith. "And I do further proclaim and give notice to-all persons subject to registration in the several states and in the District of Columbia In accordance with the above law that the time and place of such registration shall be between 7 a. m. and 9 p. m. on the 5th day of June, 1917, at the registration plnce in the precinct wherein they have their permanent homes. Those who shall have attained their twenty-first birthday and who shall not have attained their thirty-first birthday on or before the day here named are required to register, excepting only officers and oallsted men of the regular army, the navy, the Marine corps and the National Guard and naval militia while in the service of the United 8tates. and officers In the officers* reserve corps and enlisted men in the . enlisted reserve corps while in setts^eervtce.

AH T h e power sgslaejr which we art arrayed has sought to Impose its will upon the world by force. To this end It has Increased armament until it has changed the face of war. In the sense In which we have been wont to think of armies thert* are no armies in this struggle. There are entire nations armed. Thus, the men who remain to till the soil and man the factories are no less a part of the army that is in France than the men beneath the battle flags. It must be so with us. It I* not an army that we must shape and train for war; it Is a nation. To this end our people must draw close In one compact front against a common foe. But this cannot be If each man pursues a private purpose. All must pursue one purpose, "The nation needs all men, but it needs each man, not In the field that will most pleasure him, bat in the endeavor that will best serve the common good, "It is in no sense a conscription of the unwilling—it is rather selection from a nation which has volunteered In mass, "The day here named Is the time upon which all shall present themselves for assignment to their tasks. "It is essential that the day be approached In thoughtful apprehension of its significance and that we accord to it the honor and the* meaning that It deserves. Our industrial need prescribes that It be not made a technical holiday, but the stern sacrifice that is before us urges that It be carried In all our hearts as a great day of patriotic devotion and obligation when the duty shall He upon every man, whether he is himself to be registered or not, to see to it that the name of every mule person of the designated ages is written on these lists of honor. "By the president: "ROBERT LANSING, "Secretary of State." Division Ordered to France. President Wilson directed that an expeditionary force of approximately a division of regular troops, under command of Maj. Gen. John J. Pershing, proceed to France at as early a date as practicable. General Pershing and staff will precede the troops. A division contains approximately 28,000 men. It is understood that at least 20,000 will be Infantry. The war bill was carefully gone over during the day by Brigadier General Crowder, Judge advocate general and provost marshal general. It was announced that all existing regiments of the guard will be called into service by August 5, and officials estimate that with from a month to six weeks' intensive training these troops will be ready to go forward for final preparation behind the fighting lines in Europe for the fighting that la before them. President's Statement The president Issued the following statement at the White House: ""I shall not avail myself, at any rate, at the present stage of the war, of the authorization conferred by the act to organize volunteer divisions. "To do so would seriously interfere with the carrying out of the chief and most immediately Important purpose contemplated by this legislation: "The prompt creation and early use of an effective army would contribute practically nothing to the effective strength of the armies now engaged against Germany. "No Time for Compliments." "I understand that the section of this act which authorizes the creation of volunteer divisions In addition to the draft was added with a view to providing an independent command for Mr. Roosevelt and giving the military authorities an opportunity to use his fine vigor and enthusiasm recruiting the forces now at the western front "It would be very agreeable to me to pay Mr. Roosevelt this compliment and the allies the compliment of sending to their aid one of our most distinguished public men, an ex-president who has rendered many conspicuous public services and proved his gallanttry in many striking ways.

If any fowl, bird, or animal is killed by an automobile on a public road the owner of the machine Is not liable for damages because he has a right to be on the public road and the deceased has no right to be there. This question, that has caused so much hard feeling among neighbors in rural communities, has been settled in a suit brought by Charles H. Park for $5, the alleged value of a turkey which Amos M. Farnsworth ran over while he was traveling in his machine through the town of Camden, N. Y. A justice of the peace awarded Mr. Park $5 and on appeal the Judgment was reversed in nn opinion written by County Judge Hazard. Part of the opinion read: "Highways are not built or maintained for animals or fowls to stray in. I do not believe the law imposed upon the defendant the duty of slowing down so he might have his car under control to stop immediately, just because he might have known, and probably did not know, that one of these turkeys might take a notion to cross the road at an injudicious moment." J YES! LI Was Willing. "Several years ago I was traveling} from St Morltz to London," said a; Chicago man. "I had an hour^s wait In Paris at the Gare du Nord, so I got out of the train for a little exercise. Like our own railroad stations, this one was full of hustle and bustle. After a few moments of wandering about I heard above all other noises a man shouting frantically: 'Is there anyone in this place who can speak English?* "No one else evidently could, so I walked over to whore he was despairingly waving his arms (not nil 'men from name' are a la William Hodge)» and I said: 'I speak English/ " 'Saved,' he yelled. 'I must get to Boulogne tonight! Ask one of these chattering Frenchmen where I cuu get the train for Boulogne!' " 'I would,' I answered, repressing, a terrible desire to laugh, 'If I could only speak French.' "—Puck. Canine Wisdom. "I say, Fldo, what's this bone dry business the humans are talking about?"

' You corn-pestered men and women need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes that nearly killed you before, says this Cincinnati authority, because a few drops of freezone applied directly on a tender, aching corn or callus, stops soreness at once and goon the corn or hardened callus loosens so It can be lifted off, root and all, without pain. A small bottle of freezone costs very little at any drug store* but will positively take off every bard or soft corn or callus. This should be tried, as It is inexpensive and is said not to irritate the surrounding skin. If your druggist hasn't any freezone tell him to get a small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house.—adv. A Judge's Humor. As the result of Judge Landls' peculiar sense of humor many "stories" have gone the rounds. While practicing law he was engaged in a case before Federal Judge Christian Kohlsaat There were two other federal Judges in Chicago. They were Judge James Henley and Judge Peter Grosscup. Judge Kohlsaat called young Landls to the bench. "Say," he sold to the young attorney In a severe tone, "I understand you have been referring to me as 'Chris' Kohlsaat?" Young Landls grinned and said: *T11 bet I know who told you that It was either 'Jim' Henley or 'Pete' Grosscup. His sense of humor has never deserted him.—Case and Comment. . A Big Head.

"We won't be In before midnight," she sal<L "but Til send you to Jonearille In the morning." "Thank you, ma'am—m have to go fight through." ••I'll get you there In time for business. We've gained a reputation for Inhospitableness at Las Palmas that I want to overcome. Mr. Austin ought to know," she added, "about this—matter we were discussing, and I want him to meet you." "He has I" Dave said, shortly; and at his tone' Alaire looked up. "So!" She studied his grim face. "And you quarreled?" "I'd really prefer to go on, ma'am. Til get to Jonesvllle somehow." "You refuse—to stay under bis roof?" "That's about It." "I'm sorry." She did not ask for further explanation. The windows of Las Palmas were black, the house silent, when they arrived at their Journey's end; Dolores was fretful, and her mistress ached In every bone. When Jose had helped his countrywoman Into the house, Alalre said: "If you insist upon going through, you must take the car. You can return It tomorrow." • "And—about Panfllo?" Dave queried. "Wait Perhaps I'll decide what Is best to do In the meantime. Good night" Law took her extended hand. Alalre was glad that he did not fondle It In that detestable Mexican fashion of which she had lately experienced so much; glad that the grasp of his long, strong fingers was merely firm and friendly. Blase Jones had Insisted that Dave live at his house, and the Ranger had accepted the Invitation; but as It was late when the latter arrived at Jonesvllle, he went to the hotel for a few hoars' rest When he drove his borrowed machine up to the Jones house, about breakfast time, both Blase and PaJoma were- delighted to see him. \ "Say, now I What you doing rolling around la a gasoline go-devil?" the elder man Inquired, and Law was forced to explain, "Father has never learned to drive a car without yelling *Qee' and 'Haw/ " laughed Paloma. "And he thinks he has title to the whole road, too. You know these Mexicans are slow about pulling their wagons to one side. Well, father got ina4 one day, and when a team refused him the right of way, he whipped out his revolver and fired." Blaze smiled broadly. "It worked great. And believe me, them Greasers took to the ditch. I went through like a hot wind, bat I shot up sixty-five cartridges between here and town." "Why didnt Mrs. Austin ask you to stay all night at Las Palmas T the girl inquired of Dare. "She did." "Wonderful r Paloma's surprise was evidently sincere, "I suppose you refused because of the way Ed treated yon. Tell me, la aha nicer -She's lovely.** This vehement declaration brought a sadden gleam of Interest into the questioners eyes.

DAVE LAW RECEIVES TOKENS OF GRATITUDE FROM Rl CAROO GUZMAN AND MRS. AUSTIN—DURING ANOTHER DAY WITH HIM ALAIRE DISCOVERS THAT T H E . RANGER SECRETLY LOVES HER SYNOPSIS. Mrs. Alalre Austin, handsome young mistress of Las Palmas ranch, lost In the Texas desert, wanders Into the camp of David Law, state Ilanger, waiting In ambush to capture a Mexican murderer. She has to stay 24 hours, until Law captures his man, kills another and* escorts her home. "Young Ed" Austin, drunkard, berates hi9 wife and makes insulting Insinuations about the ranger. Law discovers Austin Is secretly in league with Mexican rebels and horse thieves. Mrs. Austin encounters Gen. Luis Loagorio, Mexican, Federal, when she goes to La Feria, her Mexican ranch, to collect damages, and he makes odious love to her. Dave Law kills a cattle thief and comes into unpleasant contact with Austin, at the same time becoming more friendly with Alalre. to be eighty years old. If I'd had a gun on me, Td have busted him for some of the things he said. 'A dark ladyl* That's his wife. I give you warnin', Paloma, don't you ask her to stay for meals.

Well, hers got all Jonesvllle walkln' around ladders, and spittin' through crossed fingers, and countln' the spots on their nails. He interprets their dreams and locates lost articles." "Maybe he can tell me where to find Adolfo Urbina?" Dave suggested. "Humph! If he can't Tad Lewis can. Say, Dave, this case of yours has stirred up a lot of feelln' 'gainst Tad. The prosecutln' attorney says he'll sure cinch him and Urbina both. One of Lewis' men got on a bender the other night and declared Adolfo would never come to trial." "What did he mean?" "It may have been mescal talk, but witnesses sometimes have a way of disappearing I wouldn't put anything past that gang." Not long after breakfast Don Bicardo Guzman appeared at the Jones house and warmly greeted his two friends. To Dave he explained: "Last night I came to town, and this morning I heard you had returned, so I rode out at once. You were unsuccessful ?" "Our man never went to Pueblo." "Exactly. I thought as much. However, T go to meet Blanco today, and perhaps I shall discover something." "What takes you over thereT* Blase Inquired. "Walt until I tell you. Senor David, here, brings me good fortune at every turn. He honors my poor, thirsty rancho with a visit and brings a glorious rain; then he destroys my enemies like a thunderbolt No sooner is-this done than I receive from the Federals an offer for fifty of my best horses. Caramba! Such a price, too. They are In a great hurry, which looks as if they expected an attack from the Oandeteristas at Matamoroe. I hope so. God grant these traitors are defeated. Anyhow, the horses have gone, and today I go to get my money la gold." "Who's going with y o u r asked Law. Rlcardo shrugged. "Nobody. There Is no danger." Blase shook hli head, T h e y know yon are a red-hot rebel. I wouldn't trust them.'1 T h e y know, also, that X am an American, like yon gentlemen," proudly asserted Gasman. T h a t makes a difference. I supported the Liberator —God rest his soul 1—and I secretly assist those who fight his assassins, bnt so does everybody else. I am receiving a fine price for those horses, so It la worth a little risk. Now, senor," he addressed himself to the Ranger, "I have brought yoa a little present Day and night my boys and I have worked upon i t for we know the good heart you have. It was finished yesterday. Seel" Ricardo unwrapped a bundle ha had fetched, displaying a magnificent bridle of plaited horsehair. It was cunningly wrought and lavishly decorated with silver fittings, "Yon recognise those hairs?" ha queried. T h e y came from the mane and tall of your bonita." mas shortly after the lunch hour, for he had no desire to meet "Young Ed," However, to his relief, Austin did not appear, and inasmuch as Alalre did not refer to her husband in any way, Dave decided that be must be absent perhaps on one of his notorious sprees. The mistress of the big ranch was in her harness, having at once assumed her neglected duties. She came to welcome her caller In a short khaki fnger upon Montros&'s forehead, wears a lone star, and Td like to call her that—The Lone Star." Alalre smiled In tacit assent; then when the two friends had completely established their intimacy, she mounted her own horse and led the way to the round-up. Dave's unbounded delight filled the mistress of Las Palmas with the keenest pleasure. He laughed, he hummed ana tehee of songs, he kept up a chatter addressed as much to the mare as to his companion, and under it Montrosa romped like a tomboy. It was gratifying to meet with such appreciation as this; Alalre felt warm and friendly to the whole world, and decided that out of her abundance she must do more for other people. Of course Dave had to tell of Don Rkrardo's thoughtful gift and concluded by saying, "I think this must be my birthday, although It doesn't tit in with the calendar," "Don Ricardo has-his enemies, but he Is a good-hearted old man." "Yes," Dave agreed. Then, more gravely, "I'm sorry I let him go across the river." There was a pause. "If anybody harms him, I reckon I'll have a feud on my hands, for I'm a grateful person." "I believe It. I can see that you are loyal." "I was starved on sentiment when I was little, but it's in me bigger than a skinned riding suit; her feet were Incased in ox. They say gratitude is an tan boots; she wore a mannish felt i elemental, primitive emotion—" "Bessie Belle V Law accepted the "Now dont you start riggtn* your-1 aandaonie token, than held out his " " hand to the Mexican. T h a t was mighty fine of you, Ricardo. I— Ion couldn't have pleased me more. We're going to be friends." Gunman's delight was keen, his grittled face beamed, and he showed his white teeth In a smile. "Say no more. What is mine la yours—my house, my cattle, my right hand. I and my sons will serve •you, and you must come often to see us. Now I must go."

Dave thought she looked exceedingly capable and businesslike, and not less beautiful in these clothes; he feasted his eyes covertly upon her. "I expected you for luncheon," she smiled; and Dave could have kicked himself. "I'm just going out now. If you're not in too great a hurry to go home, you may go with me." 'That would be fine," he agreed. "Come, then. I have a horse for you." As she led the way back toward the farm buildings, she explained: "I'm selling off a bunch of cattle. Benito is rounding them up and cutting out the best ones." "You keep them, I reckon." "Always. That's how I Improve the grade. You will see a splendid herd of animals, Mr. Law—the best in south Texas. I suppose you're interested in such things." "Pd rather watch a good herd of stock than the best show in New York," he told her. When they came to the corrals, an Intricate series of pens and chutes at the rear of the outbuildings, Law beheld two thoroughbred horses standing at the hitching rail. •Tm proud of my horses, too," said Alalre. T o n have reason to be." With his eyes alight Dave examined the fine points of both animals. He ran a caressing hand over them, and they recognized in him a friend. These beauties were raised on Kentucky bluegrass. Brother and sister, aren't they?" "Yes. Montrose and Montrosa are their names. .The horse Is mine, the mare Is yours." Seeing that Dave did not comprehend the full import of her words, she added: "Yours to keep, I mean. You must make another Bessie Belle out of her." "Mine? Oh—ma'am r Law turned his eyes from Alalre to the mare, then back again. "You're too kind. I can't take her." "Yon must" Dave made as If to say something, but was too deeply embarrassed. Unable to tear himself away from the mare's side, he continued to stroke her shining coat while she turned an Intelligent face to him, showing a solitary white star in the center of her forehead. aMs" B£e!s!sli e- ¾Be6l lUe. "o e a r t y t h e **m* color "Perhaps that's why it is so rnre nowadays," said Alalre, not more than half In jest. "You find It rare?" Dave looked up keenly. "Well, you have certainly laid up a store of it today." Benito and his men had rounded up perhaps three thousand head of cattle when Alalre and her companion appeared, and they were In process of "cutting out." It was an animated scene, one fitted to rouse enthusiasm In any plainsman, for the stock was fat and healthy; there were many calves, and the incessant, rumbling complaint of the herd was blood-stirring. The Las Palmas cowboys rode like centaurs; the air was drumming to swift hoofbeats, and over all was the hoarse, unceasing undertone from countless bovine throats. Out near the grub wagon the remuda was grazing, and thither at Intervals came the perspiring horsemen to change their mounts. Benito, wet, dusty and tired, rode up to his employer to report progress. "Dlosl This Is hot work for an old man. We will never finish by dark," said he, whereupon Law promptly volunteered his services. "Lend me your rope, Benito." Dave slid out of his seat and, with an arm around the mare's neck, whispered into her ear. Rosa answered by nosing the speaker over with brazen familiarity. "Diablo! He has a way with horses, hasn't he?" Benito grinned. "Now, that Montrosa is wilder than s deer." The giant herd milled and eddied, revolving like a vast pool of deep, swift water. The bulls were quarrel* some, the steers were stubborn, and the wet cows were distracted. In and out of this confusion the cowboys rode, following the animals selected for separation, forcing them out through dust and brush, until they had joined the smaller herd of choice animals which were to remain on the ranch. It was swift sweaty, exhausting work, ths kind these Mexicans loved, for It was not only spectacular but held an amount of danger. Dave Law made himself one of them. Alalre sat her horse in the heart of the crowding herd and watched the Ranger. Good riding she was accustomed to. But Law seemed to Inspire his mount In spite of the man's unusual size, he rode like a feather; he was grace and life and youth oersonifled. Now he sat as erect In his saddle as a swaying reed; again be stretched himself out like a whiplash. Once he All that afternoon the cowboys labored, and toward sundown the depleted herd was driven to the water.

That Canada is at war is now more fully appreciated on this side of the boundary line, now that the United States has stepped alongside Its northern neighbor and linked hands in the great struggle for a freer democracy throughout the civilized world. As a result of this a greater interest than ever is seen in the mutual effort to develop both the United States and Canada. Recently, Just before the time that the United States declared its intention to enter the contest and contribute of its resources to the defeat of the autocracy, whose design was to permeate the world. Western Canada made an appeal for farm labor to till the fields and prepare the soil for the crops of grain that were necessary to feed the fighting forces and keep up the requirements necessary for" the Allies. The responses were so great that before half the time limit expired, over six thousand laborers were secured. This was not sufficient, but once the United States was declared to be in a condition of war, and farm labor required here to meet any exigency as to short rations that might arise, the sister to the north, withdrew from attempts, which might mean a restriction of the farm labor supply In the United States. But even with this It Is thought Canada will now be fairly well supplied. Apart, however, from the farm labor proposition, it is gratifying from both a United States and Canadian point of view that the immigration of farmers to take up homestead lands and to purchase Improved and unimproved land in Canada, h•>* shown such a wonderful increase in the past three months. The great struggle for Increasing the food supply has a broader and greater significance than ever. The food must come into existence, whether the rich soils of the United States or those of Canada be the factor. It is altogether probable that the action of the Canadian Government in taking the duty off wheat going into Canada, thus automatically lifting- the duty off that coming into the United States, may not be responsible for an Increased immigration to Canada. Canada's reputation for growing larger average yields and a better quality of grain, and on lands, many of which are free, as well as those that range from $15 to $35 an acre, is an appeal that Is being responded to by farmers who are now renting high-priced lands, Is another, reason for expecting an Increasing number of farmers from the United States. Mr. W. D. Scott, Superintendent of Immigration at Ottawa, Canada, recently gave out figures concerning Immigration from the United States, which shows that the increase In the past three or four months was 60 per cent over the same period last year, and Mr. Scott forecasts that during the calendar year of 1917 there will be over one hundred per cent Increase and be much heavier than for many years past. Mr. Scott declares that already this spring more settlers' effects have entered Canada than crossed during the whole .of last year, and the movement has just merely started. v The new settlers are coming from numerous states through the ports of Emerson, North Portal and Coutts, ss well as from Oregon and Washington, through Klngsgate and Vancouver. There arrived In Saskatchewan during the year ending December 31,1916, a total of 8,196 persons as compared with 5,812 during the twelve months previous. At the same time nearly twice as many immigrants passed through the immigration department at Edmonton, Alberta, In the last twelve months as for the same period of the year before. — • The number of settlers from Eastern Canada migrating to the west also In* creased. Prom January 1 to March 81, 1917, the number of cars of stock that passed through the Winnipeg yards was 750, as compared with 861 last year. A fair estimate of the value of each car would be about $2,000, which means that the west has secured additional live stock to the value of $150,- 000 or more, during the first three months of 1917, not taking into account that brought In by Immigrant* from the United States,—Advertisement.

The fight between the retail selling of goods by local merchants and retall selling centralized in the hands of a few powerful corporations Is an old one. But until now there has been no practical co-operation between the magazines and the million or more retall merchants of the country. The recent decision of the Delineator, the Designer and the Woman's • Magazine to exclude all mall order advertising from their columns is Important In that it brings to the thousands of scattered communities now conducting the flght a unifying force of nation wide scope and influence. If it can achieve recognition and co-operation a t the hands of retail merchants It Is perfectly evident they In turn will profit, substantially nnder the new national leadership. Paul H. Nystrom, former professor of political economy In the universities of Wisconsin and Minnesota, speaking of the growth of the mall order industry, which has grown to be a menace to local merchants, says: "One chief cause of the recent rapid progress of the mail order business Is the tremendous Increase in circulation of popular periodical literature loaded with advertising, particularly the national women's magazines. Both reading matter and advertising have shown the way to greater variety in coosumption." The magazines which have changed their policy so as to exclude all mail order advertising have a circulation of over 1,500,000 a month among fhe better class of families In the United States. This in itself removes the menace of mail order competition from the reading matter of about one out of every five merchandise buying families In each community. Undoubtedly this will bo a powerful if not the determining factor In the success of many a "buy at home" movement In territory that is now debatable. Birds and Orientation. Professor K. S. Lashley has completed an Investigation of the sense of direction in birds. This Is called the problem of "orientation." Dr. Lashley used the wild birds of the Florida keys known as noddy and sooty terns in experiments. In their recognition of their nests it was found that their eyes as well as their muscles are concerned. The birds showed no evidence of any special sense of locality, such as a "magnetic sense" or a "second sight." Birds are no more mind readers than men are. Nor do they have any ability to retrace their paths of flight by memory. They recognize their nests and their own young by muscle habits and eyesight.

For Instance, there Is one girl by the na<pe of Tomaszeff who made a wonderful record In the Russian army; and many a woman like her has won similar fame. Yet there has been no war In which girls and women have not won this kind of celebrity. The Civil war was certainly no exception. There were many girls who fought through the war on both the Union and Confederate sides. For example, Dr. Mary E. Walker received a commission as assistant surgeon, and wen£ through the war with it, but there were many women who enlisted and went through hard service \vithout making Doctor Walker's reputation. For example, there was Frances Hook, a fourteen-year-old girl, who enlisted with her brother at Chicago. The two enlisted In the Sixty-fifth Illinois and were mustered out after three months. Frances Hook, wearing male clothes, enlisted in the Nineteenth. Her brother was killed at Shlloh, but the girl, still wearing the clothes of a man, fought through the war until Chickamauga, when she was captured and shot through the leg in an attempt to escape. While she was a prisoner In Atlanta, Jefferson Davis Is said to have offered her a lieutenancy If she would Join the Confederate forces. Frances, it is said, replied to President Davis' offer that she would let herself be hanged before she would take up arms against the Union. She had enlisted under the name of Frank Miller. In one of the regiments from Ohio a girl enlisted. She was the sister • of a member of the regiment. While at Camp Jackson and Camp Dennlson she handled lumber, performed sentry duty, and did other work of that sort It was two weeks before she learned that there were two Camp Dennlsons, asd that her brother was at the other aoe. Straightway she made application for a transfer and failed. She wanted to go to the Pennsylvania Camp Dennlson, and she wanted to go badly. The colonel of the regiment, a good aort of fellow named Morrow, talked to the girl for some time and made her confess that she was flying under false colors. Without much ceremony •he was dismissed and sent home. Just after the battle of Chickamauga. Colonel Burke of the Tenth Ohio exchanged a large number of prisoners with the Confederates. Be noticed a particularly clever and able young man among the prisoners he received— a boy who gave the name of Frank Henderson. The colonel became Interested enough to inquire who Frank was, and found out that he was a 'girt. He, or rather she, had enlisted with her brother at the outbreak of the war. They were orphans, and were devoted to eaca other, and she could not bear the (thought' oi being separated from him. He had been her rnly cpaopanlon from babyhood. At five'expiration of her enlistment for three months In the regiment she was mustered out and next enlisted in another regiment from southern nilnote, where her sex was not discoriered. She was wotfnded two or three jttme*, discharged and sent home, and unlisted again in the Nineteenth 1111- jnoift. She was finally captured, and a (bullet wound in her leg led to the tdiscovery of her sex. There (s no braver story in all the nnals of war than that of Mary wens. She came from a place called vilie, In Pennsylvania. Her hnadecided to enlist Mary went him; she and he went to the together; she had eloped with and now she was ready to carry decision to the limit Man and they fought together until a bolpot the man oat of the running; " ? iftoi- even then the woman fought on.

He knew nothing of her action, but she saw hira every day and came near being assigned to the same mess tent with him. At Vicksburg Miss Wilson was shot. So was the young man; and Miss Wilson, who nursed him, did not reveal her identity to him until Just as the boy was dying. She stayed by him, closed his eyes, and then went to Cairo and got an engagement as a chorus girt. A little while later she enlisted again, still In male clothes, as a member of the Third Illinois. She was taken to the headquarters of the commanding officer, It being suspected that she might be a Confederate spy, but she made It clear that she was a good, loyal Federal soldier. In one of the Pennsylvania regiments a bright little girl of twelve years enlisted as a drummer boy. 8he gave the name of Charles Martin, and she appeared to be a clever little fellow and made herself useful to the officers of the regiment in the capacity of a clerk. She was in five battles, but always escaped without a bullet wound. Her superior officers never suspected her sex for a moment. It was not until she was taken to a hospital in Philadelphia suffering from typhoid fever that her sex was discovered. . An officer of the Seventeenth Illinois, by the name of Reynolds, bad his wife made a major. Reynolds himself was a lieutenant. She was a scout and spy and made no effort to conceal her sex. A girl named Annie Lilly bridge of Detroit became betrothed to a lieutenant In the Twenty:flrst Michigan and decided to put on soldier's clothes and serve with him until the end of the war. She enlisted in the same regiment without his knowledge and carefully hid her identity. She even went so far as to enlist in a different company from his. One of her comrades, after several months, became aware of the secret of her sex, and when he was killed In battle the girl found his body in the field. She was finally disabled by a shot in the arm and, her sex being discovered, she was sent home. Major Pauline Cushman was one of the cleverest servants the Union army had throughout the war. She was an actress who lived in Cleveland and was employed as an officer of the Union army. As scout, spy, and soldier, the girl major made a reputation second to none in the Northern army. Pauline Cushman has left a reputation only second to that of Belle Lloyd, to whom Stonewall Jackson wrote that she had saved his army. Mary Siezgle, the wife of a soldier in the Forty-fourth New York, enlisted with him and fought In the battle of Gettysburg. She served for a while as a nurse, but afterward put on male clothes and did her share In actual fighting. One little heroine of the war had the honor of being complimented in general orders. She was a fifteenyear- old girl named Schwartz, living In a farmhouse about twelve mlieB from Jefferson City, Mo. On the night of August 0, 1863, a party of bushwhackers who had heard that It was a rendezvous of Union men attacked It There were four men In the house, one being the child's father; they all fled and left her alone to confront the guerrillas. The little girl intrepidly opened the door with a revolver In her hand which the men had abandoned in their flight and said, "Come on, if you want to. Some of you will fall or I will." The bushwhackers told her that If she did not leave the doorway they would kill her. "The first one who takes a step toward this door dies," was the girl's response, and the marauders left—New York Times, Marvelous Tale of the f e 1 Monkey snd Squirrel, Chums on steamship, Commit Sulolde, Passen* gera Declare. Bored ship news reporters who have listened indifferently for months to tales Of Cuban revolutions, who have scoffed at German sea raiders because of their frequency, and have got up to walk when submarine captures were mentioned, the other day sat up with an appreciative Jerk when passengers on board the steamahlp Santa Maria of the United Fruit line, from West Indian ports, began te talk, the New Tork Herald says. The story wound about the fact that the Santa Maria carried s large eoileetion of animals which Henry Bulf was brtngtnt; from the tropics to the New York Zoological perk in the Bronx. Among the animals was a sanlfrel and in the cage nearest was a monkey. Pasaengers noticed that censeraatlon between the two was etpeelaUy confidential, but thought nothing of It u* tli one day when tag animals were S e t a T V i r t 00 deck, artdeely the squirrel either fell overboard or jumped overboard. Without a moment's hesitation the monkey sprang after. Neither was rescued. A question bothered the passengers who related the remarkable occursrence. Did the monkey, out of affection for the squirrel,.attempt a rescue, or did the two, fearing a separation when they reached the Bronx, form s suicide part?

What is the marine corps-and who Are the marines? Evidently they have something to do with the sea, as the name shows, but they are not sailors and are not connected with the navy. What, then, are the marines? The marines are sea soldiers, troops especially adapted to the requirements of maritime war. The corps dates from the establishment of the American navy. It is a wholly separate military body, though under the control of the navy department. It was formed in 1775, and, says the Encyclopedia Britannica, "has a history of brilliant services rendered by land and sea in all the wars of America since that date. The corps Is commanded by a brigadier general who bears to the secretary of the navy a relation similar to that of a chief of bureau. Nearly all fighting ships carry a body of marines varying In size from a few men commanded by a sergeant on small .ships to 80 or lnofe, with one or more commissioned officers, on large vessels. On board ship they perform sentry and orderly duty and assist In police duties. In action they act as riflemen and sometime*-serve a portion of the guns. When it is necessary to send a force to shore from naval vessels, the marines are the men sent; and often they take part in severe fighting. They guard American interests In foreign countries, at legations, etc. They also .garrison such places beyond the territory limits of the United States as are under navy control. Their' vogue was recognized by Admiral Farrngut, who said of them : "The marine guard is one of the great essentials of the man-of-war." The Proper Method.

HOOVER IS MADE FOOD DICTATOR NEW OFFICE CREATED FOR MAN WHO HANDLED BELGIAN R E U E F WORK. WILL SERVE WITHOUT PAY Appointment I t Intended to Meet a Manifest Emergency and Continue* While War Lasts. Washington—Herbert C. Hoover has been appointed "food administrator" of the United States, by President Wilson. Mr. Hoover accepted the appointment "on condition that bo is to receive no payment for bis services and that the whole foroe under him, exclusive of clerical assistance, shall be employed so far as possible upon the same volunteer basis." "The proposed food administration," the president said, "is intended only to meet a manifest emergency and to continue only while the war lasts. Since it will be composed for the most part of volunteers, there need be no fear of the possibility of a permanent bureaucracy arising out of i t All control of consumption will disappear when the emergency has passed.** Enlistment of every woman in the United States as an actual member of the food administration, pledged to save food in every possible way, was one of the four main branches of the work outlined by Herbert C. Hoover in his statement accepting the food dictatorship of the United States for the war. The other three were: control of commodities by expert boards drawn from existing agencies; the control of distribution working through state administrations; and purchasing for our allies and neutrals to avoid competition. 3 SWEDISH STEAMERS SUNK Torpedoed Vessels were^n Way From England—Loaded With Grain. Stockholm, via London — News that the Bwediah steamers Ves- News that the Swedish steamers Vesterland, Aspen and Viken, laden with grain from England, had been sunk by German submarines, was received here and caused much indignation. The message telling of the sinking said eight members of the crew of the Viken and two of the Vesterland had been lost. Papers cf all shades of opinion united in voicing indignation at the torpedoing of the steamers. The Stockholm Tidningen captions its article "The German's Dastardly Deed Against Sweden," and characterizes It as a "deliberate and bloody crime." It declares that a land capable of such a deed is capable of anything. The Stockholm Dagblad says a share of indignation must be vented on England which delayed the departure of the steamers until after May 1, but that the first and foremost feeling must be bitterness against the methods of the Germans. It adds: "The sinkings may give farther proof of the danger of invading the blockade zone, bnt it was sympathy for Germany as well for provisions for Sweden that went down with the ships." ALLIES GAINING STEADILY Continue Victorious Advance On AU Battle Fronts. London—With Bulleconrt firmly in their possession, the British troops are giving the Germans no chance for rest and have started another offensive with the idea of bringing their forces to the north of Bullecourt in alignment with those within the village. ' Although London makes no mention of the fact, the Berlin war office reports an offensive by the British along a 15-mlle fronC extending from the region of Achevllle to Qtieant, which means that again the entire front of the Drocourt-Queant switch line is being hammered^ Again comes news from the Russian front that the Germans, probably owing to the betterment of the international situation In Rossis, have stacked the Russian lines.

A collection of animals, including lions, tigers, emus, chimpanzees, snakes, chameleon zebras, parrots, leopards and 700 monkeys, arrived the other day on a British freighter, consigned to Louis Rube, an animal dealer, for distribution among the zoological gardens in the'westem states, says the New York Times. According to the captain, the most remarkable animals on board were, the four chameleons, zebras, which had red, white and blue stripes, and were first seen in Uganda by Col. Theodore Roosevelt on his African hunting trip. One of the zebras put its forefoot on a hot brick and turned blue, the captain declared, and when the native attendant, Lambam, placed it in cold salt water the animal turned white. Oog and Joeg, the two trained chimpanzees, were said to be remarkably Intelligent and could hardly be distinguished from some kinds of human beings when they were attired in dungaree overalls and flannel sweaters.

NO 60 VERNMEKT OWNERSHIP It Would Mean Political Control and Lose of Efficiency—Declarer That Crisis Confronts Country en Account of Transportation Situation—Lowest Freight Rates to Be Found In United States. Washlagron, May 14.—That the United States is face to face with a serious crisis In its commercial affairs, due to the conditions by which Its transports tioij system is confronted, wag the opinion expressed by W. M. Ac worth, England's leading authority on railways, before the Xe^'hinds joint committee on interstate commerce at a special session held here to enable the committee to hear his views before his departure for London this week. Two steps are necessary, according to Mr. Acworth, to avert tbia crisis and to solve the threatening railroad problem confronting the country.

Hif,!.oi f! -. :es n Public Nev-essity. Mi. Ac»voitab views on the transportation situation In the United States were expressed lu answer to qoeetlons by members of the committee, who asked him to apply hla knowledge of railway conditions throughout the world and of the experience of other countries with government ownership to the present problem before the Unit* eel States. "The fundamental factor In the situation Is very simple," aaid Mr. Acworth. "It lies In the fact that yon cannot gret three-quarters of a cent's worth of work done for less than threequarters of a cent, no matter whether the agency performing it is a govern* ment or private enterprise. Freight rates must advance when the cost of performing the service advances as it is doing at present, just as the price of bread or meat or any other commodity Increases with Increased coat oi production." In answer to a question Mr. Acworth said that he thought American freight rates had been at much too low a level for several years past, that they had reached this low point during the period of cutthroat competition among the roads and had since been held there by regulating bodies. Unless relief were afforded to the carriers very promptly, he said, the result would be a tremendous loss to the people of the whole country through insufficiency of transportation facilities. Weakness of Government Ownership. On the subject of government ownerahip of railwayi Mr. Acworth said: "It ia Impossible to obtain satisfactory reaulij on gOTernment railways In a democratic state unless the management !• cut loose from direct political control. Neither Australia nor any other country with a democratic constitution—perhaps an exception ought to b t made of Switzerland—has succeeded in maintaining a permanent severance. Ia France, in Belgium, in Italy, parliamentary interference never baa b«ea abandoned fox a moment The facta show that government in terference has meant running the railways not for the benefit of the people at large, but to satisfy local and section al and even personal interests.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, May 10th, 1917 Governor Brough Predicts "Bone Dry' America in Two Years Governor Chai. H. Brough of Arkansas is making the prediction that America will be " b o n e d r y " within two years "The success Arkansas and other dry states hav"e won under prohibiton furnishes a substantial foundation for a dry America" says Gov. Brough. 1 Lave talked with many men of national prominence in political affairs and the prevailing opinion among- this class is that America will adopt prohibition several years earlier than is generally t-x 4>ected. Arkansas had prospered under the 'Done dry' act. Liquor activities have Jied down to a whisper. What little intoxicants are being peddled by blind , tigers are sold at exorbitant rates. No liquor is being shipped into the state. rnd few people have it. "With the decrease in drinking came proportionate impetus to agricultural, commercial and industria1 activities. It • s the rarest sight in Arkansas to see a nan under the influence cf intoxicants. The New Spring Drive for Food Preparedness In order to find out actual conditions as to seed and labor shortage on the farms, a complete canvas of Livingston County is now under way. Business men and retired farmers, who are living in town, have been asked to undertake the campaign through the different townships, so as not to take the farmers away' from their work, and it is expected that the survey will be completed at the end of the week. Every farmer will be asked to fill out a blank showing shortage of seed or surplus on hand, this year's acerage of food crdps as compared to last year's, live stock on hand an! labor shortage, with this* information available, it is hoped that the local committee, with the help of the Michigan Food Preparedness Committee, may be able to assist the farn> ers in making, this the greatest crop year in the history of Livingston County.

Following is a method by which any •dzed glass vessel can be broken—as, for example, a glass tub to be made out of a carboy: Fill the vessel with cold water up to the point at which it is to be broken. Pour enough boiliug oil over the water to make a good coat on the surface, and before the oil has time to cool dash cold water on the outside of the vessel.

All persons within the age limits prescribed are required to present themselves for registration at the customary voting places in the voting precincts in ^bich fney have their permanent hornet, on a day which the president will announce. There was a time in the country's history when military enumerators, backed by bayonets, went out among the people to take a compulsory service census. Today, under the principle of universal liability to service, the execution of the law is put into the hands of the people. The governor of each state is the chief of registration therein. The machinery of registration in each county is In charge of the sheriff, the county clerk, and the county physician, acting ex officio, unless a different board shall be announced by the governor. In cities containing populations of more than 30,000, the registration will be under the control of the mayor Hnd se^ lected boards of registration. In order that the dislgnuted county and city officials, and the people generally, can get a clear understanding of the census methods the following brief outline Is given : The sheriffs, or other designated officials, immediately upon receiving notice from the governor, shall appoint registrars for each voting precinct. Apportionment of Registrars. The proportion of registrars shall be one for each 170 persons to be registered. Each age to be registered will comprise about 1 per cent of the population. It for Instance, all men between nineteen and twenty-five years of age, inclusive, are to be registered, the registrar would have to enroll about 7 per cent of the precinct population. It is desirable to accept the services of competent volunteer registrars to serve without compensation. All registrars most be sworn. The voting place in each precinct must be prepared for registration. Full printed Instructions covering every detail of registration will be in the hands of sheriffs and mayors on the fifth day after foe president's proclamation. Cities of Over 30,000 Population. The mayor of a city containing more than 30.000 Inhabitants, or the officials designated by the governor therein, shall, with approval of the governor, appoint for each ward or convenient minor subdivision containing about 30,- 000 people one registrar! 6n board, and shall designate one officer of each board to perform duties similar to those imposed on the sheriff, as heretofore outlined. If the mayor desires, he may appoint a central board to coordinate the work of minor boards. Duties of County Clerks, and of Clerks of Cities of Over 30,000 People. On the fifth day after the president has issued his proclamation, clerks of counties and cities of over 30.000 must secure a supply of blanks and copies of the registration regulations from the sheriff or from the mayor. Absentees and the sick will apply to suchclerks to have their registration cards filled o u t In no case shall such persons he given registration certificates. They are to be Instructed by the clerk that the burden is on them to see to It that the cards reach the registrars of their home precincts by registration day. Absentees and the Sick. Persons absent from their home counties may be registered by mail. If so absent, a man should go to the clerk of the county where he may be staying, •on the sixth day after the date of the presidents proclamation.

BANKS ASKED TO CO-OPERATE Secretary Authorize* Financial Institutions to Receive Subscriptions for the Bond Offerings, . Washington.—Secretary McAdoo telegraphed the entire list of 27,513 national and state banks and trust companies In the United States, authorizing them to receive subscriptions for the $2,000,- 000,000 bond offering, enlisting their oo-operation, and requesting them to telegraph a rough estimate of the amount of bonds each would take for Itself and its patrons. "You can render an Invaluable service to your country," Mr. McAdoo told the banks, "by receiving subscriptions and co-operating with the federal reserve bank in your district." Loan Subscriptions Pour In. To all clearing house associations In the country Mr. McAdoo sent a telegram in which he said : "The amount of the Initial loan has been determined by the needs of the government and not arbitrarily. The enthusiastic and patriotic co-operation of the banks and bankers of the country will guarantee the success of the undertaking." The result of the first announcement of the loan has been a deluge of subscriptions, aggregating many millions. Most of these came in by wire to the treasury. Virtually every large city and every state In the Union was represented. Lend $100,000,000 to Italy. Negotiations continued today with representatives of the nations to which the United States Is extending credit. Count di Cellere, the Italian ambassador, received the full amount of the first $100,000,000 loan made by this government to Italy. Subscriptions to the second offering of treasury certificates were received during the day by the federal reserve banks. Indications are that the secretary will call for the proceeds within a week, possibly a few days. The $100,000,000 loan to France will be turned over to Ambassador Jusserand, in whole or part, within a day or so. MAY CENTER IN WASHINGTON Another U. 8. $hlp Sunk.

ASKS ALL TO OBSERVE DAY Requests Old and Young to W e a r Red Flower for Living Mother and White, tor Dear Departed. (By W. L. CALNON^ Lansing. Gov. Sleeper has officially designated Sunday, May 13, as "Mothers' Day," Issuing the following proclamation to the people: "Our American civilization Is built around the home. The heart of the home is the mother. What is there in all the realm of art that stands higher, more commanding, more beautiful, than a simple, refined, gracious woman in her household; a woman whose daily life is an outpouring of the gospel of service, who is worshipped by her children, beloved by her husband and who rules in her home by sweetness, by gentleness, by self denial, by love? The mothers of the land are engaged in the noblest of all callings, the rearing of their sons and daughters to take their places as useful members of society. "As we, whose mothers have left us, look back through the years, how sweet and precious is the memory of the mother in the old home. All her life was a beauteous life, ft ran like a rill down the hillside and sang all the time. It was like flowers that know no summer and no winter. The memory of it kindles in us still the aupremest affection and arouses the finest enthusiasm of our hearts. "Therefore, that we may pay a special tribute of affection to the mothers who still live and honor the memory of the mothers who have gone from us, I, Albert E. Sleeper, governor of the state of Michigan, do hereby designate and set aside Sunday, May 13th, ss Mothers' Day; and I call upon our people, both young and old, to gather In their several places of worship, and take part in services appropriate to the day and, by the wearing of a red flower for the living mother and a white for the dear departed, to symbolize their love and reverence for the motherB of the nation. "In accordance with a resolution of the congress of the United States, I further request the people of Michigan, on the day aforesaid to display the United States flag in their homes and in other suitable places, as a fitting expression of their desire to pay homage to American motherhood." Probability That One Committee WilJ Purchase All Supplies Needed by the Allied Countries. Washington.—Creation of a central purchasing committee In Washington for all supplies bought in the United States for the allied governments was forecast here by Sir Hardman Lever, financial expert of the British war mission. The committee will supplant J. P. Morgan & Co. Discussing the world financial situation, the British expert expressed the opinion that Germany will be practically bankrupt in the credit markets after the war. "Our enemies," he said, "for all their boasted efficiency, have never had the courage to face their financial problems, with the result that when the war is over they will be hard put to it" The Teutonic governments having pyramided one Internal loan upon another, be explained, their interest charges would be so great that he believed they would either have to repudiate a large part of their debt or face Inability to buy the enormous quantities of material they would need for reconstruction. The allies, he added, had paid their way In the war Mby the straightforward and natural means, by pouring ont their gold, by Belling enormous masses of American securities, by raising loans." As a result he predicted that the end of the war would find the allies in good shape financially, despite their enormous permanent debts. Governor Busy Man. Between the work of caring for the enrolled bills and giving consideration to each one in its turn, and the task of keeping up the military and food preparedness programs, Governor Sleeper is the busiest chief executive the state has had since the days of Civil war. The adjournment of the legislature brings him no rest, owing to the war conditions and the necessity of creating ways and means to prepare the state to go through war developments. Frequent conferences are being held with a view to have the state's crops increased through the medium of in creased acreage. The gravity of the situation which will have to be faced next winter is being Impressed on everyone as thoroughly as possible. Many farmers are inquiring, however, as to. the prospects of Increased crops resulting in knocking down prices next winter to a level that will mean lack of profit In buying seed at present high prices. These men want to see a minimum price agreed upon for their products, so they can feel assured of no loss because of extra work and extra production. The minimum price idea has appealed to various members of the preparedness board, but some believe that federal action would be necessary to ensure the success of any price regulation. Navy Buys Butter In 8tate. Through efforts of the state dairy commission, Michigan creameries have been given contracts for 350,000 pounds of butter for the United States nary.

Children Cry for Fletcher's Castoria Louis Botha ss a Fighter. The Boer army organization would not be taken as a model for any modern military system, but its very weaknesses made easier the rise to high command of able subalterns. At least it gave a young officer his chance to show what was in him. Botha got his chance under Joubert. It was only a matter of weeks before this field cornet was In command of armies. At Colenso Botha with 6,000 men held off Buller with 18,000 and made such use of the deep trench as has become familiar In the great war during the past two years. European experts have studied with profit Botha's brilliant defenses. The shrewdness with which he devined the enemy's Intentions was almost uncanny, and more than once it made him victor of a doubtful field. His only military training had been received years before in campaigns against the Zulus. He was never known to use a map, His accurate knowledge of the country made maps superfluous.—Review of Reviews. On the Other Side.

The need of artillerymen and of artillery is g r e a t The new army will have field guns and more field guns. The lessons of Europe since the beginning of this war have not been lost There is no secret about the weakness of the American army in field guns and in field-gun ammunition. The equipment of the artillery is a sharp ^problem, but it Is said it will be solved . a n d solved quickly. K American army officers prior to thje ^onroreak of the war in Europe knew £that artillery was to be the main reliance In their future campaigns. It is doubtful, however, if Uncle Sara's officers appreciated the extent of the development of the artillery arm which would be necessary to meet the conditions of modern warfare. The French had the best field artillery on earth and the French officers had a realizing sense of what superiority In this arm of the service would mean to them, but even the Frenchmen probably did not grasp the full significance of the situation as it was to confront the world within a few weeks after the coming of the conflict. Our Field Gun Unsurpassed. It is Bald by men who are supposed to know that our own field piece is equal in efficiency to that of the French seventy-five. If this be true, the United States has a weapon which has no superior In the world. The regiments of artillery will be increased all out of proportion to the army equation of other years. Activity in artillery making will mark the operations of the near future, and coincident with the making of the weapons will be the training of the men for this new commanding branch of the war service. Years ago Gen. John M. Schofleld urged the Increase of the artillery branch of the service. In his youth Schofleld served in the artillery and his urgent plea that the proportion of batteries be increased to meet what he said would be the future needs of the service was set down by the legislators and by some array officers simply to the general's love for the branch In which he had been an officer. Now the officers of the army are willing to give General Schofleld credit for farsightedness. Things have turned out just about as he said they would turn out. There will be something like the proverbial feverish activity In artillery and artillerymen making in the next few months. Thousand upon thousands of the young men who soon are to be a part of the army of the United States will be assigned to the field artillery. There Is no more appealing service In peacetime or In wartime. Even in dash and In high spirit of battle maneuvers the cavalry has no finer excitement and no finer enthusiasm. Cavalry Also Necessary. The cavalry during the present war has not had much to do except on the east front Therefore there has been a feeling that the proportion of cavalry to the other branches of the service might be decreased when the new .army Is raised. There is little or no chance that such a decrease will be countenanced by-the array authorities. On the west front In Europe the cavalry has been quiescent most of the time since the war began, but when the horsemen are needed they will be needed badly. Their places cannot be taken by the men of any other branch of the service. Cavalry regiments will be recruited^ sent to- the- t r e a t and | necessary to conserve the supply of rtmdwhen ^tw^ftne come*: , The United States Is short on machine guns. . This Is no military secret, for the tact has been blazoned not only at home, but abroad, for years. The enemy knows It, Just as he frn^ws everything else connected with the pest of our aimed forces. The machine-gun situation will be met jost as the field artillery situation has t e e n met. '-'the guns' wltl be provided eme* t h e detachment* of men to han- # • them- will be trained.

Criticism also has come from other places because the war department will not turn over large quantities of rifles to home guard organizations and other associations of men who may or may not eventually get into the service. An American army of 500,000 men so far as its , infantry is concerned could be supplied with rifles and ah> raunition In plenty today. There is much misunderstanding in the country abont the rifle and equipment situation. „ The United States is confronted wtth the problem of raising an army -ot 500,000 men, of giving its infantry and cavalry rifles and equipment, and its artillery field pieces and equipment with ammunition for all branches. Must Keep Weapons for Army. In view of the way In which congress has declined to make appropriations in the past for the necessary war material, officials say 1L. is not proper that army officers should be blamed for not having rifles to give to home guard organizations and to detachments of drillers here and there when the sharp necessity Is to have enough weapons for the actual army which is to be raised. The law and the regulations stood In the way of supplying weapons to the broomstick drillers here and there and to the home guards elsewhere. The war department, it is asserted, could not have furnished these rifles even If it had so desired. There was also a law higher than that of congress, to stand in the way. It was the law of military common sense. What would this country do if its supply of rifles were in the hands of the home guards and men of other organizations wThen the time came to supply the needs of the actual fighting units of the field army? American civilians, it Is said, do not think well along military ltnes. A Hue in the hands of a soldier who must be trained quickly for the fighting line Is worth two rifles at the command of a civilian who IB learning how to take the position of a soldier and how to do a few other things with the possible intention of offering himself later for the service. In the one case there is sharp necessity and in the other case there Is only the possibility of necessity. Crozier Has Done AM He Could. Chieftains of the army bureaus have not been asleep through the years. Does anyone suppose that Brigadier General William Crozier, chief of ordnance, has not done all that he could with the money at hand to supply American troops with a view to- the possibility of war? Does anyone suppose that this man does not appreciate the patriotic sentiment which inspires his fellow Americans who desire to drill with the view of future sen-ice and who are demanding that rifles be given them? The ordnance officers do not deny rifles to men because they want to deny them. They deny them because the law of the land and tfte law of military sense compel them to make denial. It would seem from some of the stories which go floating about that It is the desire of army officers to prevent the American people from securing the means to prepare themselves. The fact is that the officers of the war department are putting their material where It will do the most good. Trained soldiers try to put their training to proper use. It has been jrlfleS and ammuifltfan so that ft may be available for troops who must use them in actual conflict. If the government of the United States two years ago had made provision for this time of evil, the broomstick brigades and the home guards could have their rifles and abuse would be absent The army lias to keep within its appropriations. The war department is as well pro vlded for hostilities as it possibly can be nnder the circumstances of lack of sufficient appropriations. For years the army has urged that money be given it to prepare. Congress has turned ah unbearlng ear. Things probably will be different In the future, but this, Washington officials say, is a late day for reformation. (Conducted by the National W o m a n ' s Christian Temperance Union.) DECREASE IN CONSUMPTION. The per capita consumption of spirituous, vinous and malt liquors during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1916, was, according to the final government report, 10.40 gallons. This is the smallest figure since 1902. While the "withdrawal for consumption" of distilled liquors was greater in 1916 than in 1915, It was less than in any year between 1902 and 1915. The slight increase- was chiefly du#, says the commissioner of Internal revenue to "the effective enforcement of the Internal, revenue tax on distilled spirits." It should be remembered that the "withdrawal for consumption" does not mean that the liquor all went downthe throats of American citizens. Much of It is forced out of the government warehouses by the expiration of the bonded period. When liquor is taken out of bond the tux is paid and it is officially recorded as "consumed." As a matter of fact a large part of it is merely transferred to private warehouses to await market demands. The fact that large quantities remain in bond until forced out by the time limit Is sufficient proof that actual consumption of spirituous liquors is decrease ing. HME BEAl frs aivd 5Krub !are ai\d CuMvaiioiv IN WINE-DRINKING ITALY. Prof. Leonardo Bianchi, an authority on alcoholism in Italy, agrees with Lambroso and Ferrl concerning the degeneration caused by the winedrinking customs of his country. He says : "I know from my experience that deep melancholy, persecutlonal mania, Jealousy leading to the assassination of the suspected individual can, in many cases, be directly traced to overindulgence In the gift of Bacchus. Most of our great criminals were hard drinkers before starting on their career of crime, or are sons of hard drinkers. The headquarters of the Mano Nera and other associations of malefactors is the wineshop. We can easily become master of cholera and diphtheria, of typhoid fever and. malaria. The grave problem before us Is the prevention of the insidious alcoholization of the nation. The degrading poverty of the lower classes in certain sections of the country, our lazzaronl, the passion for gambling, the terrible infant mortality—for all this, and more yet, the special form of our alcoholism is mainly responsible." r 1 AS* - A X«J> t w .M«: 4 4 *w ^ •*.« — & ,, p I .

We In America know more about legislative methods of dealing with the liquor traffic than all the world besides. We know everything that Europe knows, and some things of which Europe has not legislatively dreamed. It is diverting to those who know the facts, whon some dlllettante bewails the extent to which unsophisticated America Is hurtling blindly along the prohibition trail, following dogmas preached by professional agitators, without stopping to take stock of w?hat older and more practiced nations have learned. These writers are engagingly naive. Everything that Europe has ever tried on this question we have tried, and more.—From Article by Rollln O. Everhart in the Independent. By L. M. BENNINGTON. Copy nature by sowing seeds of perennials as they ripen. Provide some sort of shade for the seedbed. A screen made of lath or one of unbleached muslin will answer. The robust-growing plants will need some sort of support. Let the support be painted green or oiled to bring out the grain of the wood, and you will find them more pleasing than rough sticks and far more satisfactory. Drive the stakes fast into the earth a little lower than the plants, so that they are inconspicuous. The plants needing supports are such hardy perennials as delphiniums, giant foxglove and snapdragons. Do not overlook giving stakes to dahlias, cosmos, hydrangea and gladioli. To maintain continuous blooming, make a habit of cutting flowers freely, and remove all the fading blossoms, and nature will reward you with a lavish hand. If you want your bed of cannas or border of caladiums to make a grand tropical showingt give them a frostlike covering of bonemeal; then stir the soil, water thoroughly, and mulch with lawn clippings. Be sure to remove the fading flowers. } over winter like the old roots; and start them again In the spring. I do not say this Is the only way, but it is a good one. A good dahlia must bloom from July until frost; and If it does not discard it. It is claimed by dahlia growers that dividing the roots will degenerate almost all the varieties; that is the reason we have such a few good flowers. Of course a good many will believe that a cutting will not flower and make roots to keep over the winter, but it is not true; they were raised that way many years ago, and that is the way they are raised today in England, France and Germany (that Is if these countries were thinking of planting Instead of warring) and other countries except the United States. It is the reason too, the Americans do not care for dahlias; they have been deceived too much. They buy old roots and get an old degenerate plant, sometimes six feet tall und more and not a blossom In sight. In October, when nights are cool, the degenerate <-hows buds, and If the frost does not catch them, they will flower maybe two weeks, rind the flower be deficient in color and size. They blame the weather, etc., it is not the weather altogether, but the method of planting. THE WAY TO RAISE DAHLIAS By E. VAN BENTHUYSEN. If you want dahlia roots for next year, plant them tn small pots nnd let them remain all summer. Keep them Cut out the market man when you market your garden stuff. You can always get full retail prices, and if selling vegetables Is regarded as an honorable business for the grocer, why not for y<>u? ALCOHOL NOT NEEDED. ">*inety-nina per cent of the medical profession feel that there Is no medical necessity for the use of alcohol In any form as a curative," says Dr. William A.

Its sole effect is to intoxicate women to the point where they do not care much whether they a r e suffering or n o t " PRANCES E. W1LLARD DAY. The legislatures of six states have enacted laws providing for an annual temperance day in the public schools, most of them calling It "Frances E» Wlllard day." MAKING CHURCH FURNITURE. Seven thousand five hnndred and ninety liquor establishments closed their doors within the last year. During the year preceding June 30. 1918. a ilquor shop closed every hour, and a church- was established every three hours. This explains why one of the big bar fixture companies In this country hes quit making bar fixtures, and Is now manufacturing church furniture. N E W YORK DRY IN 1920.

If I hadn't tamed down considerably these late years, I'd have—wound him up, right there." From beneath his dropping lids Ellsworth regarded t h e Itanger curiously. "You have a bad temper, haven't you?" "Rotten!" "I "know. You were a violent boy. " Pve often wondered how you were get- '"T" Hng along. How do you feel when y o u ' i e ^ t h a t way?" i t .•WHS the younger man's turn to hesitate. "Well, I don't feel anything, when I'm mad," he confessed. "I'm plumb crazy, I guess. But I feel plenty bad afterwards." There was a flicker of the judge's eyelids. Dave went on musingly: "I dare say It's inherited. They tell me my father was the same. He was—a killer." "Yes. He was all of that." Dave lifted an abstracted gaze from the Pullman carpet. "I hardly know what I mean, Judge. But you've had hunches, haven't you? Didn't you ever know that something you thought was true wasn't true at all? Well, I never felt as if I had bad blood In me. My mother was Mexican—" "Spanish." "All right Am I Spanish? Have I any Spanish blood In me?" "She didn't look Spanish. She was Ught-complexioned, for one thing. We both know plenty of people with a Latin strain in them who look like Anglo-Saxons. You were educated In the North, and your boyhood was spent at school and college, away from everything Mexican." "That probably accounts for it," Law agreed; then his face lit with a slow smile. "By the way, don't tell Mrs. Austin that I'm a sort of college person. She thinks I'm a red-neck, and she sends me books." Ellsworth laughed silently. "Your talk is to blame, Dave. Has She sent you T h e Swiss Family Robinson?'" "No. Mostly good, sad romances with an uplift—stories full of lances at rest, and Willie-boys in tin sweaters. The good women were always beautiful, too, and the villains never hnd a redeeming trait. It's a shame how human nature has got mixed up since then, isn't it?" "Alaire Austin's romance is sadder than any of those aovels." Dave nodded. "But she doesn't cry about it." Then he asked gravely: "Why didn't she pick a real fellow who'd kneel and kiss the hem of her dress and make a man of himself?" "What's the matter with you?" queried the judge.

AUSTIN HAS A STRANGE EXPERIENCE. Synopsis.—Mrs. Alalre Austin, handsome young mistresa of Las Pulmas ranch, lost in the Texas desert, wanders into the little camp of David Law, state ranger, lying in ambush for a Mexican murderer. Sbe is forced to stay for 24 hours, until Law captures his man, kills another und escorts her home. "Young Ed" Austin, drunken wastrel, beratea his wife and makes Insulting insinuations about the ranger. Austin Is secretly in league with Mexican rebels and horse thieves. Mrs. Austin encounters Gen. Luis Longorio, Mexican federal, when she goes to La Feria, her ranch in M « i c o , to collect war damages, and Longorio, a bad man, falls in love with her. Dave Law kiiU a cattls; thief and suspects Ed Austin of criminal connections. shadowed rampart were Mexican.

Then all too soon she realized that the purpose of her visit was accomplished, and that she had no excuse for re* raalaiag loader., She wag raow. anned with sufficient facts to make B definite demand upon the federal government. The homeward journey was a repetition of the journey out. Jose, as before, was neysgatherer. Hour after hour they crept toward the border, until at last they were again laid out on a siding for an indefinite wait. The occasion for this was made plain when an engine drawing a single caboose appeared. Even before U had come to a pause, a tall figure in spotless uniform leaped to ttie ground and strode to the waiting coaches. It was Luis Longorio. He waved a signal to the conductor, then swung aboard the north-bound train. The general was all smiles as he came down the aisle, and bowed low over Alaire's hand. Dolores gasped and stiffened In her seat like a woman of stone. "Heaven be praised I You are safe and well 1" said the newcomer. "I have blamed myself for -allowing you to take this abominable journey! I have been in torment lest something befall you. Every night I have prayed that you might be spared all harm. When I received word that you were coming, I made all speed to meet you." "Dolores and I are greatly in your debt," Alaire told him. "But you stayed so long!" "There was more work than I thought. General, you have ruined me." Longorio was pained; his face became Ineffably snd. "Please! I beg of you," he entreated. "I have ar-, ranged for reparation of that miserable mistake. I shall see that you receive justice. If the government will not pay, I will. All I possess would be too little to buy your happiness." "You embarrass me. I'm afraid you don't realize what you say." Alalre remained cool under the man's protestations. "I have lost more than a thousand head of cattle." "We shall say two, three thousand, and the government will pay." Longorio asserted brazenly. "I will vouch for your figures, and po one will question'them, for I am a man of honor." "No! All I want—" "It Is done. Let us say no more about the affair. Senora, I have thought of you every hour; the duties that held me in Nuevo Pueblo were like irksome chains. I was in madness. I would have flown, to La Feria, but—I could not" "My husband will thank you for your great courtesy to me," Alalre managed to say. But the mention of husbands was aitiveness, and his face betrayed a hint of impatience. "Yes, yes," he agreed carelessly. "Senor Austin and I must knovr each other better and become friends." "That is hardly possible at present When the war is dvw—" t "Bah! This war is nothing. I go To these perfervid protestations Dolores listened with growing fright; her eyes were wide, and they were fixed hypnotically upon the speaker; she presented much the appearance of a rab* bit charmed by a serpent. But to Lor>, gorio sbe did not exist; she was a chattel, a servant, and therefore devoid of soul or intelligence, or use beyond that of serving her mistress. Thinking to put an end to these blandishments, Alalre undertook to return the general's ring, with the pretense that she considered It no more than a talisman loaned her for the time being. But it was a task to make Longorio accept it. He was shocked, 6ffended, hurt; he declared the ring to be of no value; it was no more than a trifling evidence of his esteem. But Alaire was firm. It was an odd, unreal ride, through the blazing heat of the long afternoon. LongoTio cast off all pretense and openly laid siege to the red-haired woman's heart—all without offering her the smallest chance to rebuff him, the slightest ground for open resentment so respectful and guarded were his advances. When the train arrived at its destination, his victim was wellnigh exhausted from the struggle. After a good night's rest, however, she was able to smile at yesterday's adventure. Longorio did no< bulk so large now; even these few hours had greatly diminished his importance, so that he appeared merely as an Impulsive foreigner who had allowed a woman to turn his head. Once back across the river she discovered that there were obstacles to a prompt adjustment of her claim. The red tape of her own government was as nothing to that of Mexico. There were a thousand formalities, a myriad of maddening details to be observed, and they called for the services of an advocate, a notary, a jefe politico, a jefe de arraas^—officials without end. All of these worthies were patient and polite, but they displayed a malarial indifference to delay, and responsibility seemed to rest nowhere. During the day Alaire became bewildered, almost lost In the mazes of official procedure, and was half minded to telegraph to Judge Ellsworth, Longorio by no means shared her disappointment. On the contrary, ha assured her they were making splendid progress, and he was delighted 'v*^i ^ ' ^ r ^ * i ' These peladors are all BROKEN DOWN IN HEALTH of Pinkh&ra'ft Compound Made Her WelL Lima.

After a time he returned with a paper in his hand, and this he laid before Alaire. It was an order for the release of Juan Garcia. "The salvo conducto which will permit Juan and his Inez and their Juanito to return t o their farm Is being mada out," he explained. "Are you satisfled?* Alaire looked up wonderingly. "I am deeply grateful. You overwhelm me. You are—a strange man." "Dear laTly, I live to serve you. Your wish Is my .law. How can I prove It further?" The strained, throbbing silence that followed Longorio's last words did more to frighten the woman than had his most ardent advances. He would have lingered indefinitely over the table, but Alaire soon rose to go, explaining: "I must finish my disagreeable task now, so that I can go home tomorrow." **Tomorrow tf* her host cried In dismay. "No, no! You must wait—" "My husband is expecting me." This statement was a blow; It seemed to crush Longorio, who could only look his keen distress. As they stepped out into, the street, in the gutter stood Inez Garcia with her baby in her arms, and beside her the ragged figure of a young man, evidently her Juan. The fellow was emaciated, his face was gaunt and worn and frightened, his feet were bare even of sandals, the huge peaked straw hat which he clutched over his breast was tattered, and yet in his eye there was a light They had waited patiently, theso Garclas, heedful of Longorio's orders, and now they burst into a torrent of thanks. They flung themselves to their knees and kissed, the edge of Alaire's dress. General Longorio enjoyed this scene tremendously, and his beaming eyes expressed the hope thftt Alaire was fully satisfied with the mom e n t - ' - I ; - •They Took very poor," said Alaire, and opened iier purse; but Loogorio Women who suffer from displacements, weakness, irregularities, nervousness, backache, or bearing-dojra pains, need the tonic properties of 1M t roo«..

"How is it that I hear such strange stories about you, general ?" "Lies, all of them!" Longorio asserted. "For Instance, they tell me that yon shoot your prisoners?" "Of course!" Then, a t her shocked exclamation, he explained: "It ia a necessity of war. Listen, senora !

A young man recently called on the Rev. H. A. Kirk of Muncle, and, after introducing himself, shyly remarked that he was going to be married. Would the minister perform the ceremony on a certain evening of the next week? The minister would. Just before leaving the visitor assumed an embarrassed look, explaining that he had ridden into the city on a bicycle from the country, that he had broken the sprocket chain, and that he had neglected to put any money In his pocket when he left home. Would the minister lend him 35 cents to have It repaired so that he could ride home? Certainly, the minister would. The evening of the expected marriage arrived, but no bridegroom and bride. Neither did they come the next evening nor any other evening. The Rev. Mr. Kirk concluded he had been swindled. He told the story at a meeting of Muncle ministers. They smiled. They also had given up 35 cents to the young man who w a s to be married.—Indianapolis News. ^ . < " t » . ••• Following is an extract from "The Transmission of Disease by Flies," Supplement No. 29 to the Public Health Reports, April, 181¾.

" 'Ha, ha,' chuckled the Foxes. For well they knew the sort of use Daddy Fox would make of the company of the rabbit. " 'And be came.

The only trouble was that I w a s bundled up so tightly in my bed-clothes—for I w a s really pretending I w a s sick, Just so I could enjoy my good supper when It came all the more. And, Just when I was ready to get the delicious little morsel, didn't a chattering squirrel warn Bunnie Bonnie in time? And he got away before I could get out of my bed clothes.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, May > d , 1917 N o 18 WHAT CAN YOU DO? Before Joining Any Unit Of The Guard, the Recruit Should Take Stock of His Training and Education Liquor Interests Frightened at Rising Sentiment Tremenduous waste of much needed matertal is admitted by brewers and distillers. Conserve the food supply by stopping the liquor manufacture; that's the insistent demand. Leaders of thought and action in America are asking that as a war measure, use of grains for making intoxicants shall be prohibited, even wet newspapers are lined up in this great conservation scheme, along with many public officials. Kansas City Board of Trade passes resolutions asking congress to art in this matter; similar action is taken by women's clubs and other organizations; people see the folly of continuing converting these products into* poison which destroys efficiency.

Field Artillery: Natural taste for machinery; mathematical ability; horsemanship. Artillery headquarters, Landing.

She Is forced to stay 24 hours, until Law captures his man, kills another and escorts her home. "Young Ed" Austin, drunken wastrel, berates his wife and makes Insulting Insinuations about the ranger. Austin Is secretly In league with Mexican rebels and horse thieves. Mrs, .Austin starts for her other ranch, La Feria, In Mexico, to secure damages for cattle taken by Mexican soldiers, and encounters Gen. Luis Longorio, who becomes Instantly enamored of her beauty, much to her embarrassment. Meanwhile Dave Law, trailing horse thieves, kills a man who shoots hfs horse. CHAPTER VII.—Continued. The mist and an early dusk prevented him from seeing Las Palmas Itself until he was well in among the irrigated fields. A few moments later, when he rode up to the outbuildings. he encountered a middle-aged Mexican, who proved to be Benito Gonzalez, the range boss. Dave made himself known, and Benito answered his questions with apparent honesty. No, he had seen nothing of a sorrel horse or a strange rider, but he bad just come in himself. Doubtless they could learn more from Juan, the horse-wrangler, who was somewhere about. Juan was finally found, but he proved strangely recalcitrant. He admitted that he had seen a horse of the description given. Probably It belonged to some stranger. Dave changed his tactics. "Olga!" he said, sternly. "Do you want to go to juil?" Junn had no such desire. "Then tell the truth. Where la the horse now?" Juan insolently declared he didn't know and didn't care. "Oh, you don't, eh?" Law reached for the boy, and shook him until he yelled. "You will make a nice little prisoner, Juanito, and we shall ftnd a way to make you speak." Gonzalez was Inclined to resent such high-handed treatment of his underling, but respect for the Rangers was deep-rooted, and Juan's behavior was inexplicable. At last the horseboy confessed. He had seen both horse and rider, but knew neither. Mr. Austin and the stranger had arrived together, and the latter had gone on. That was the troth. "Bueno!" Law released his prisoner, who slunk away robbing his shotilder. "Now, Benito, we will find Mr. Austin." A voice answered from the dusk: "He won't take much finding," and Ed Austin himself emerged from the stable door. "Well, what do you want?" "You are Mr. Austin, I reckon T "I am. What d'you mean by abusing my help?" The master of Las Palmas approached so near that bis threatening scowl was visible. MI don't allow strangers to prowl around my premises." Amazed by this hostile greeting, Law explained in a word the reason for his presence. *1 don't know anything about your man. What d'you want him for, and who are you?" Dave introduced himself. "I want fclzfl for stealing Guzman's calves, I trailed him from where he and his partner cut into your south pasture." Benito stirred and muttered an oath, bat Austin was unmoved. "I reckon you moat be a bad trailer," he laughed, ••We/ve j o t no thieves here. What makes you think Guzman lost any calves r < Dare's temper, never too well controlled at best began to rise. He could not imagine why a person of Ed Austin's standing should behave in this extraordinary manner, unless, perhaps, he was drunk. "Well I saw the calves, and I left the fellow that was branding them with a wet saddle blanket over bis face." "En? What's that?" Austin started, and Oonamtes uttered a smothered exclamation. T o o killed him? He's demdr -Dead enough to skin. I caught him with his irons lft the firs sad the calves necked op In your pasture. Mow 1 want sis "I—hope you don't think we know anything about him," Ed protested. "Where's that man on the sorrel horse?" Austin turned away with a shrug. "You rode In with him," Dave persisted. Ed wheeled quickly. "How do you know I did?" "Your boy saw you." The ranchman's voice was harsh as he said : "Look here, my friend, you're on the wrong track. The fellow I was with had nothing to do with this affair. Would you know your man? Did you get a look at him?" "No. But I reckon Don Rlcardo could tell his horse." "Humph!" Austin grunted, disagreeably. "So Just for t h a t . you come prowling around threatening my help, eh? Trying to frame-up a case, maybe? Well.Ut don't go. 1 was out with one of Tad Lewis' men." "What was his name?" Dave managed to Inquire. t "Urblna. He had a sorrel under htm, but there are thousands of sorrel horses." "What time did you meet him?" "I met him at noon, and—I've been with him ever since. So you see you're wrong. I presume your man doubled back and is laughing at you." Law's first bewilderment had given place to a black rage; for the moment he was in danger of disregarding the reason for "Young Ed's" incivility and giving rein to his passion, but he checked himself In time. "Would you mind telling me what you and this Urblna were doing?" Austin laughed mockingly. "That's my business," said he. Dave moistened his lips. He hitched his shoulders nervously. He was astonished at his own self-control, though the certainty that Austin was drunk helped him to steady himself. Nevertheless, he dared not trust himself to speak. Construing this silence as an acknowledgment of defeat, Ed turned to go. Some tardy sense of duty, however, prompted him to fling back, carelessly : "I suppose you've come a good ways. If you're hungry, Benito will show you the way to the kitchen." Then he walked away into the darkness, followed by the shocked gaze of his range boss. Benito roused himself from his amazement to say, warmly: "Si, compaflre. You will enjoy a cup of hot coffee." But Law ground out fiercely: T m not used to kitchen hand-outs. I reckon I can chew my bridle reins if I get too hungry." Walking to his horse, he vaulted into the saddle. Benito laid a hand upon his thigh and apologized. "Senor Ed Is a strange man. He Is often like this lately. You understand me? Will you come to my bouse for supper r "Thank you, but I think Til ride on to Tad Lewis' and see Urblna." At this the Mexican shook his head as ir apprehensive of the result, but he said nothing mors. Law hesitated as he was about to spur out of the yard. "By the way." he ventured, "you needn't mention this to Mrs. Austin.** "She is not here," Gonzalez told him. "She has gone to La Feria to see about her affair*. She would not permit of this occurrence If She were st home. She Is s very fine lady." "Tea. Good night Benito." "Good night senor." When the Banger had gone, Gonzales walked slowly toward his . Iwtth has head bowed thoughtfmOf, "It Is very strange," be muttered. "How could Don tduardo have met this Gurzu at noon when, with uiy own eyes, I saw him ride away from Las i'ulmaa at three o'clock In the afternoon? It la very strange." CHAPTER VIM. Following Up the Trail. Dave wus glad that he hud swallowed "Young Kd's" incivility, not only for his own sake, but for the sake of Alulre. After nil, he argued. It was ! barely possible'that Ed had spoken the truth. There were many sorrel horses; \ the evidence of those rain-washed hoofprlnts was fur from conclusive; even the fact that Urblna belonged to the \ Tad Lewis outfit was no more than a I suspicious circumstance. And yet, ear- [ neatly us he strove to convince himself | of these possibilities, the Ranger could not down the conviction that the rancher hud lied and thut he himself was on the right track. It was late when he arrived at his destination, but Lewis' house was dark, and 't required some effort to awaken the owner. When Tad at last appeared, clad In undershirt and trousers, he greeted the Ranger with a leveled rifle; but when Dave had made known his Identity, he Invited i him In. though with r,urly reluctance. Lewis was a sandy-complexioned | man of about forty, with colorless brows nnd a mean, shifty eye. Formerly a cowboy, he hnd by the exercise of some natural ability acquired a good property—and a bad reputation. Just how or why he hnd prospered was a mystery which his neighbors never tired of discussing. Tad, it seemed, resented any Interruption of his rest, and showed the fact plainly. Yes, he employed a fellow named Urblna. What was wanted of him? Law explained briefly. "Why, he's one of my best men!" laughed the rancher. "He wouldn't steal nothing." "Well, I had to shoot another good man of yours," Dave said quietly. Lewis fell back a step. "Which one? Who?" he Inquired quickly. "Pino Garza." Dave told of the meeting at the branding fire and Its outcome. He was aware, meanwhile, that Lewis' family were listening, for behind a half-open bedroom door he could hear an excited whispering. "Killed the first shot, eh?" Tad was dumfounded. "Now, I never thought Pino was that bad. But you never can tell about these Greasers, can you? They'll all steal If they get a chance. I let Pino go, 'bout a week back; but he's been hangln' around, almln' to visit some of his relatives up in the brush country. It was probably one of them old Guzman saw. Anyhow, It couldn't of been Adolfo Urblna; he was over to Las Palmas all the afternoon," "Did you send him there?" "Sure. Ed Austin can tell you." "Where Is Urblna now?" "I reckon he's asleep somewhere. We'll dig him up and talk to him, If you say so." But Adolfo Urbina was nowhere to be found. No one had seen him stnee about seven o'clock, nor could it be discovered .where he was spending the night. Dave remembered that It had been about seven when he left Las Palmas, and ascertained, Indirectly, that Tad had a telephone. On his way from Austin's Law had stopped at a rancho for a bite to eat, but he could forgive himself for the delay if, as he surmised, Urblna had been warned by wire of his coming. "That's too bad, ain't it?" Lewis said. "But he'll be around again In the morning, and I'll get him for you. You leave It to me." There was plainly nothing to do but accept this offer, since It could avail nothing to' wait here for Urbina's return. Unless the fellow gave himself up, he probably could not be found, now that the alarm was given, without a considerable search — In view of which Dave finally remounted his borrowed horse and rode away In the direction of Jonesvllle. It was after daylight when he dismounted stiffly at Blaze's gate. He was wet to the skin and bespattered with mud; he had been almost constantly In the saddle for twenty-four hours, and Don Rlcardo's cow pony was almost exhausted. Blaze and Paloma, of course, were tremendously Interested In his story. "Say, now, that's quick work," the latter exclaimed, heartily. "You're some thief-buster, Dave, and if you'll Just stay around here little calves can grow up with some comfort.'* When Dave rode to Jonesvtile, after breakfast he found that the body of his victim had been brought ln» daring the night and that the town was already buzzing with news of the encounter. During the forenoon Don Rlcardo and his sons arrived, bringing additional information, which they promptly Imparted to the Ranger. The Guzmans were people of action. All three of them had spent the night on horseback, and Pedro had made a discovery. On the day previous Garsa had been seen riding In company with a man astride a sorrel pony, and this man had been recognised as Adolfo Urbina. Pedro's witness woeUd swear i t Their distance fxoni Las Palmas at the time when they hud been seed together proved beyond uuestion that unless Urblna had -flown he could not ha*e arrived at the place In question by noon, the hour Ed Austin had fixed. This significant bit of Information however, Dave advised the Guzman* not to m a t e public for the time being. Toward midday Tad Lewis and thre« of his men arrived with the news that Urblna had left for Pueblo before they could Intercept him. "He's got a girl up there^ and he's gone to get married," Tad explained. "I'm sure sorry we missed him." Dave smiled grimly at the speaker "Are you sure he didn't cross to tht other side?" he asked. Lewis retorted warmly: "Adolfo's an all-right hombre, and I'll back him. So'll Ed Austin. I guess me an' Ed are responsible, ain't we?" Some skeptical expression In his hearer's face prompted him to Inquire, brusquely, "Do you believe what Pro telling you about his goln' to Pueblo?" "I guess he's gone—somewhere." Tad uttered an angry exclamation. "Looks to me like you'd made up your mind to saddle this thing onto him whether he done it or not. Well, he's a poor Mexican, but J won't stand tc see him railroaded, and neither will 'Young Ed.' " "No?" "You heard me! Ed will alibi him complete." Law answered sharply: "You tell Rd Austin to go slow on his alibis. And you take this for whnt It's worth tc you: I'm goln.n to get all the cattle rustlers in this county—all of them, understand?" Lewis flushed redly and sputtered: "If you make this stick with Adolfo, nobody'll be safe. I reckon Urbina's word Is as good as old RIcardo's. Everybody knows what he Is." Later when Dave met the Guzmans, Rlcardo told him, excitedly, "Thai horse Tad Lewis Is riding Is the one I saw yesterday." "Are you sure?" "Listen, senor. Men In cities remember the faces they see; 1 have lived all my life among horses, and to me they are like men. 1 seldom forget" "Very well. Tad says Urblna has gone to Pueblo to get married, so I'm going t o follow him, and 1 shall b€ there when he arrives." "Bueno I Another matter"—Rlcardo hesitated—"your bonlta—the prettj mare. She Is buried deep." "I'm glad," said Dave. "I think J shall sleep better for knowing that* Since the recent rain had rendered the black valley roads Impassable foi automobiles, Dave decided to go tc Pueblo by rail, even though it was a roundabout way, and that afternoon found Aim Jolting over the leisurely miles between Jonesvllle and the main line. He was looking forward to a good night's sleep when he arrived at [the Junction; but on boarding the north-bound through train he encountered Judge Ellsworth, who had lust heard of the Garza killing, and ol course was eager for details. The two men sat In the observation car talking until a late hour. Knowing the Judge for a man of honor and discretion, Dave unburdened himself with the utmost freedom regarding his suspicions of Ed Austin. Ellsworth nodded. "Yes, Ed has thrown In with the rebel Junta In San Antone, and Tad Lewis is the man they use to run arms and supplies in this neighborhood. That's why he and Ed are so friendly, Urblna is probahly your cattle thief, but he has a hold over Ed, and so he rode to Las Pnlmaa when he was pursued, knowing that no Jury would convict him over Ed Austin's testimony." "Do you think Ed would perjure himself?" Dave naked. "He has gone clean to the bad lately ; there's no telling what he'll do. I'd hate to see you crowd him, Dave." "They call you the beat lawyer in [ this county because you settle so many cases out of court." The Judge smiled at this. "Well, here's a chance for you to do the county a good turn and keep Ed Austin out of trouble." " H o w r "The prosecuting attorney Is a new man, and he wants to make a reputation by breaking up the Lewis gang." " W e l i r "He Intends to cinch Urblna, on RIcardo's and rnj testimony. You're a friend of Austin's; you'd better tip him to set his watch ahead a few hours and save himself s lot of trouble. The prosecuting attorney don't like Ed any too welL Understand r The Judge pondered this suggestion for a moment " 'Young Ed' is a queer fellow. Once In a while he gets his neck bowed." As the situation develops In the next Installment Mrs. Austin finds trouble Increasing for her. Dave Law picks up some Important evidence. (TO BE CONTINUED.) New Paris Fashion.

Htoe atlitkhe Question often ties in a change of table drink POSTUM The head of a horse should be small, refined, and clean cut. It should not be either too concave (dished) or convex (bulging) between the eyes, the former suggesting a timid disposition, the latter strong will power. Compare the sides of the fuee and note any dissimilarity which may be due to disease. The side view of the head should show a comparatively straight line from the poll to the nose. Extremely heavy Jaws are not desirable, especially lu horses of the lighter classes. Mouth.—The mouth should be examined for unsound or abnormal teeth. In the condition known as parrot mouth the front upper teeth overlap those below, while In reverse parrot mouth the lower front teeth overlap those above. If either condition is present the horse is not able to bite off food; and while he may eat hay and grain by getting them Into his mouth with his lips, he would starve on ttnort pasture. Tongues held outside the mouth are unsightly. Muzzle.—The nostrils should be large, clear, and pliable, with the Inside rose colored at rest and deep red during exercise. Nostrils constantly distended and hard should lead one to suspect heaves, a disease which is discussed later. Note whether the nose is deformed or crooked—conditions which mnr the horse's looks. If the under lip is not held firmly against the upper it may be due to a lack of vigor. Frequent application of a de- Poll Evil. rice known as a twitch leaves Bears around the upper lip. This,would lead one to suspect that the horse has some bad habit, such as being difficult to shoe. Face.—Look for blemishes from operations such as on bad teth or nasal tumors, disease which may cause trouble after apparently being cured. Eyes.—Before beginning an examination of the eyes be sure that these important and often unnoticeably defective organs are turned toward a good light. Large, full, well-penced eyes, preferably 'of a chestnut hue with a sparkle and mild expression, are beautiful in appearance and are the least subject to disease. .Small, sunken eyes are often weak and may accompany a sluggish temperament Lacerations on the eyelids are more or less unsightly and give evidence of a previous Injury which may have left the eye weak, especially If the eye sheds tears frequently. To test the sight make a quick motion of the hand away from each eye and see If the lids are closed to protect the eyeball. In doing this It is necessary to be careful not to cause a current of air to strike the eye, since a blind horse may close the eyelid from such a cause alone. If still doubtful about the sight have the animal led over obstacles over which a blind horse would stumble. In which case a horse with good sight will carefully raise and plant his feet over them. A more detailed test consists of taking the borse from darkness to light, and vice versa, and see- LATE WINTER ORCHARD WORK Get i s Much Out of Way as Convenient Before Rush—Best Plan to Be on Safe 8lde. It will be a good idea to get as murh of the orchard work out of the way as you can conveniently before the spring rush. Pruning, cutting away any dead or dying limbs, and spraying with lime-sulphur should be done before the sap rises. It Is best to spray with lime-sulphur solution even If you do not know that you have any scale or fungus disease. The safest plan Is to be on the safe side, and the spray will not hurt the trees auywny. You can be pretty sure that something Is trying to get a bold, and the sooner it la discouraged the better. It is much better to keep the trees clean than to have to d e a n them up after they are showing the effects of the Destructive Dh Hire blight is, without doubt one of the most destructive dJseaeti of peats In this eoentry. Ing that the pupils dilute and contract uliko. Hollows over^ the eyes denott old age or a luck of vitality. Unscrupulous dealers have sometimes inflated these hollows with air. but this can readily be detected by pressing with the Angers, which forces the uir luto the adjacent cavities, leaving the natural hollowness. Ears.—Horses are not often troubled with deafness, still it Is advisable to test the hearing by noting response* to the voice. The ears should be placed fairly close together at the highest point of the poll arid should usually be carried forward. To add to. the appearance they should be of delicate texture, taper to graceful points, and be covered with fine hair. Lopped ears are very unsightly and many tricks are used to cover up such defects, such as tying together with fine thread the ear nets which the horse may be wearing, or the ears themselves may be tied together, the hairs of the foretop lTlding the thread. Slight operations are also performed with the object of remedying this defect Poll.—The poll should be examined for signs of poll evil, a disease caused by bruising the top of the head. Inflammation in this region, usually accompanied by discharge of pus, would lead one to suspect this disease, which is often slow to yield to treatment and which may break out again after It Is thought to be cured. It often leaves ugly scars after healing. Neck.—A clean-cut throat latch on a crested neck of good length gives a horse style and beauty of outline and consequently enhances his value. In mature stallions the development of a full crest is an indication of masculinity. Evidences of bleeding, indicating previous bad health, should be looked for in the Jugular vein, and it is also advisable to lay back the mane and look for scars. The neck should join the shoulders smoothly. Shoulders.—Short shoulders do not generally Indicate sufficient room for a large heart and for lungs capable of handling a maximum quantity of air. Straight shoulders favor a low, short, stubby action of the front f e e t A low carriage of the head, with a heavy irresponsive mouth are often associated with a long back and a correspondingly short underline, whereas the opposite proportions, namely, a short back and a long underline, are desirable. The concussions or Jars on the front legs resulting from their striking the ground are considerably relieved by sloping shoulders, by not having this effect, tend to promote early unsoundness of these limbs. Strong constitution, endurance, good front action, and style are associated with deep, well-developed shoulders. For draft purposes the shoulders should have pronounced offsets, so that the face of the collar wi 1 have plenty of bearing surface. The position of the collar on such a shoulder Is not materially changed, no matter how hard the pull Examine the withers for fistula, a disease similar to poll evil, except that It Is differently located. Fistulu Is thought to result from bruising the withers, the resulting inflammation and pus being slow to yield to treatment, so that cases are often of very long standing. The disease sometimes appears to be of very minor Importance, but the illustration shows the large "amount of tissue that may become involved. Fistula should not be confused with collar sores, which are often found on the top of the neck Just in front of the withers. Collar sores also often occur on the sides of the neck. When not of too long standing they heal readily, If %on properly formed shoulders. Cailoused-thlckened spots resulting from old collar sore again unless the collar can be kept from pressing on them. In so-called sweenied shoulders, the muscles have atrophied or shrunken, and horses with such defects are practically valueless for work, for the time being, at l e a s t - PREVENTING THUMPS IN PIGS If Animals Are Confined in Small Pen, Stir Them Up Dally to Encour. age Vigorous Exercise.

TRY GROWING ORCHIDS # U--T- *.?, &*V !&£ By E. V A N B E N T H U Y S E N . Contrary to the general opinion, orchids are by" no means difficult to grow to their fullest perfection. Another prevalent error Is that the orchid Is exclusively a 'rich man's flower.' This is by no means true, for many of the varieties are relative^ Inexpensive, and it Is possible by the expenditure of a very limited amount of money to have a collection of superlative beauty. They require the proper kind of a house, the correct materials In which to grow them, cure in watering and temperature ami the same attention that must be pven to every growing thing, but, given these, the orchid will reward the grower most abundantly. Orchids require plenty of light and air, but must not be exposed to the full sun. The proper shading of the orchid house in summer Is very essential. No other flower of the floral kingdom boasts of BO many wondrous combinations of form, color, texture as the orchid. Of all the flowers that have been given us there Is none to compare with the orchid to embellish our homes with their fresh loveliness of form and color, or for personal adornment. < No other flower so persistently appeals to the refined taste of those to whom orchids have become a passion, the exquisite perfume varying from the faint, delicate fragrance of some of the dendrobiums to the delicious and almost overpowering odor of the Aerides and Epidendrums. Orchids enn be grown In pots, pans and baskets In fibrous peat, with proper drainage. While they require shading In the summer, dark houses should be avoided, and the air should be admitted whenever possible. Cyprlpedlum is one of the most interesting branches of the orchid family and offers a bountiful field of enjoyment to the amateur. It Is composed of many varieties and an almost unlimited number of hybrids, of bewildering variations In form and color. They are of the easiest culture and bloom In the greatest profusion. This class is extremely low In price and offers untold enjoyment to the orchid lover of limited means. The odontoglossums are the most extensively grown of all orchids. They require an even, cool and moist temperature throughout the year. They are among tht most easily cultivated, and reward the grower bountifully. The flowers are fairly bewildering in their beauty and their unlimited variety of colors and markings. Many of them are very low-priced, making it possible to have an extensive collection. AMARYLLIS The amaryllis Is an extremely ornamental plant with large, fragrant, beautifully colored flowers. To successfully grow them considerable attention must be paid to the condition of the soil. The most suitable soil is good loam» with one-fourth part of lenfmold, or pulverized manure, and some sand. As with other plants good drainage Is very Important. The growing season is from early spring until about September, when the plants should be kept cool and allowed to rest until February. They require plenty of sunshine, but during the flowering season a light shading tends to preserve the blossoms longer. To the gardener who has not as yet experimented with this plant, It Is worth a try. New delight and interest conies with the growth of new plants each senson. The past few seasons have seen some wonderfully beautiful results In the growing of amaryllis. Flaming gorgeous colors have been produced along with vnri-striped effects quite bewildering In their beauty. - * • • • ' - _ ARMY TO.

WILL CROSS IN DETACHMENTS Preliminary Training of Four Months Needed by Absolutely Green Men— The Rest They Will Get Back of the Lines. A Beautiful Specimen of Amaryflt* By E D W A R D B. C L A R K . Washington.—American troops will go to Europe lu short order. This la the logic of the whole situation and every army man, whether'un enemy or u friend, knows It It cannot be a secret to anybody except the unsophisticated civilian. If anyone expects to see troops raised In June delay their departure for Europe until the following spring, expectation will be disappointed. Our troops will receive a large part of their training just back of the lines both on the East and West in Europe, for there is no thought, that American soldiers are to confine their activities solely to the fields In France. There are 50,000 American soldiers ready today for the final training within sound of the firing In Europe. Two months In such places as the British troops trained for the fight will prepare at least two American divisions for actual conflict The men comprising these divisions know all the preliminary game. Men with military knowledge appreciate the fact that if green troops are given a year's training In America before being sent to the front, they will have overstayed their time by half a year. Military lessons leafned during the present war and in part during previous wars, if they are put to service as they will be, will result in the quick dispatch of a small but effective organization to the Europeau battlefields, added to from time to time by other increments as they are prepared for the final training for battle. Would Not Send All at Once. No one ought to be led to believe that the United Suites Intends to raise a million men and to send them across the water all at once, thereby Inviting sea disaster on a huge scale and delaying the participation of. American troops In the battle game until It may be too late for them to be of saving service. From time to time during the next year, If war shall continue, the country can expect to see detachments of American troops sent successively across the water under convoy. Many of the men who will enter the service have seen previous military training. They will be ready for the last training back of the lines far in advance of the men who never before have toted a rifle or executed a "squad right." Can Supply the Ammunition. There is the matter, of course, of the supply of troops and It may be said that If we send men over we are In n condition to keep the limber chests and the caissons of the artillery filled with shells and the belts of the infantry and of the machine guns filled with cartridges. The United States is in a condition today to supply the necessary ammunition, and more of It as the need arises to a considerable force of men. If 50.000 troops go to Europe within a month, as is likely, they will not want for supplies of every kind so long as the lanes of approach can be kept open, and this our navy unquestionably can attend to. Prior to the sending of a second expedition there will he ample time to provide Its equipment and a continuous flow of ammunition. Our factories are In good shape, not only to supply quickly American needs but allied needs. When the men are ready they will go and It will not take as long to make them ready as some people seem to believe. Absolutely green troops must be taught "the school of the soldier," obedience, self-reliance, guard duty, company and battalion drill before they are sent aboard, but this can be done In four months time. With a supplementary training of from two to three months under semi-battle conditions in Prance or with the Russians on the eastern front, th<jse men will be ready for the fighting line and in less time than most Americans seem to think is to be needed to give them their preliminary drills In this country. The man who enlists now will get Into Eur^ npe long before be has uny Idea will l>e the on Re. First Line of Defense. Const guard ah'ps of Uncle Sam out on the lonely sens are patrolling their ports and doing sentinel duty for the United States. In a way these cutters of the old revenue service form a first Une of defense for the buttles!)ipa, the cruisers, and the (tarn-overs, and /or the cities of these United States. The cutters not only are sentinels, but they are fighters. Of course they cannot contend with the great ships of an enemy's navy, nor with the smaller armored craft, but they can do valiant service against submarines. Moreover, with their wireless they can flush Instant signals of warning to all the warships near shore, to all the navy yards and to all the coast service stations of the home land. These cutters of ours that are patrolling the seas are taking chances. It has been asked whether or uot they will be effective against enemy submarines because the cutters, some of which are as ancient as they are honorable, are not us fast as the "law of legging it" on the seas demands In this modern day. There seems to be little fear in Washington that these vessels will not do their duty up to the handle, and little greater fear that one of them will not be able to cope with a submarine if it appears above the surface to give battle. One of our coast guard vessels can stand a good many shells without going to the bottom unless, of course, one of the projectiles shall hit a vital place below the water line. When It is traveling on the surface a submarine uses its guns, and not its torpedo tubes, which are for service under water. While the coast guard vessel can stand up after being wounded, such is not the case with the submarine, for the U-boat is a frail creature and one small projectile well placed will do for it. Moreover, slow as the cutters are they can make as good time as the average submarine can make when traveling on the surface. The speed of a submarine under the water is four or five knots less than when traveling above it. Count on Much From Alaska, Alaska, as the "ordinary geographically located" resident of the United States looks at it, is a long way off, but out of Alaska the war department expects much to come In the way of high-class men and material for the great army which is to be raised for service in the present war. Alaskn Is a hardy country. The men who live there, or who have seen service there, are men who have met life in both its harsh and in Its appealing features. Alaska, however, Is recognized as being rugged rather than harsh and rugged characteristics are soldier-making characteristics. The government has been at work In Alaska for a great many years. It has been represented there by soldiers nod civilians. Men of the service and of civil life together have built roads and trails through the great territory in order to make the means of communication ensy through a country the face of which at one time seemed to be set forbiddingly against access and transportation endeavor. For twenty years in Alaska an army officer has been stationed and for ihe greater part of that time he has been at the head of the board of road commissioners engaged in the construction of wagon roads, bridges, trails and military and post roads under the direction of the secretary of war. • Col. Wilds P. Richardson, U, S. A., has been president of this board of commissioners for a long time. Now with war upon us It seems certain that the field of operations of Colonel Richardson will be changed from the great territory of the United States to the field of military operations. Nearly all the colonels of the United States service today before long will be wearing the stars of a brigadier or major general. Men Alaska Can Furnish. The nature of the Alaskan territory, like that of all virgin and semi-virgin countries, makes it a fine field for the fostering of manhood. It seems likely that from Alaska there will come miners, and road builders, blasters, trench diggers, chasm spanners, and men generally used to the overcoming of natural obstacles, to a.service already virtually equipped without much preliminary tminlng for that kind of field work which seems to be inseparable from the methods of modern warfare. It Is to be wondered If the American people have a thorough appreciation of what the development of Alaska by the road builders has meant In the way of hard work. It Is recognized that hard work Is a comparative term. In a recent'statement concerning this great territory of Uncle Sam ttrts was said: "The task of building roads throughout this vast wilderness of Alaska to meet the rapidly growing demands and to aid In a systematic development of Irs resources cannot be adequately described by any less comprehensive terra than colossal, and the hope cannot be to make more than a beginning during the official life time of the members of the board now engaged In the road building." • Years sgo the writer of this article was a schoolmate at West Point of CoL Wilds P. Richardson. Be knows bow this army officer has met sod overcome abuse and criticism as ha has met and overcome the hard* grinding difficulties of road wort J a Alaska. -Dick" Richardson always has been a fighter. GREAT ACTIVITY IN GOVERNOR'S OFFICE E N R O L L E D ACTS BEING SIGNED — W A R BOARD D E V I S I N G W A Y S T O RAISE MORE FOOD. RAILROAD MAN ON STAFF Will Handle Transportation End of Work and Expedite Shipments of Seeds and Fertilizer. (From Our Special Correspondent) Lansing. Until May 10, when the legislature convenes again to take its final adjournment, the chief business connected with the law-making process of the state is centered in the office of Governor Sleeper. The enrolled acts of the house and senate are being delivered there as fast as they are signed by Lieut. Gov. Dickinson and Speaker Rice. The final adjournment of the legislature will be had at 12 o'clock noon on Friday, May 11. Sessions will be held in both houses on the day preceding, so that if any errors are found that must be corrected they may be taken care of before the official ending of the session is had. It is expected that the governor will be able to report on every bill laid before him by the time the sine die adjournment is taken. In addition to the winding up of legislative activities, the governor's office nas been the scene daily of important conferences in relation to war preparedness measures. With the signing- of the Foater-Petermann bill authorizing the states $5,000,000 war loan, it has been i>o«i*ible for war preparedness work to be conductei with dispatch. For the present, the item of food preparedness is receiving nearly all the executive attention. The food boajd is devising every means it can to- encourage the greatest production of crops the state ever has had, in order to forestall the danger of a food shortage in the state and nation next fall and winter. The Michigan Railroad Association has 'loaned** to the war preparedness board the services of its secretary, CharleB E. Webb, and the latter will handle the transportation end of the preparedness work. At the outset he ; is endeavoring to find adequate 'means to distribute throughout the state all the seed and fertilizer that can be obtained. Later, when the added forces it is intended to marshal for farm work are ready, the work of placing them about the state also will come up to the transportation department. Official standing already has been given by the war board to numerous companies of home guards that have been formed in Michigan towns. Home guard service does not obligate any one in it to federal service, but neither does it exempt them from it. It is hoped that the guard will be a nucleus from which regiments of soldiers for federal service will be organized in Michigan. The home guards will be permitted to use the armories in their towns. They will be organized in companies of fifty men each and the guardsmen and tiieir officers will be enlisted for three years, or for the duration of the war, and the officers will be given commissions. Motor and cavalry patrols will be part of the guard as well as Infantry. Age is no bar to guard service. The official designation of the guards will be "Michigan State Troops.'.' Speedy Legislation. Rep. Henry L. Schmidt, of Grand Rapids, youngest member of the legislature, fust about established a speed record on legislation on the final day of the session. He discovered that one of his bills, to permit the Incorporation of lodges of Odd Fellows, was sound asleep in a senate committee and about to die along with the several hundred other bills still in committee. It had passed the house, but the senate committee that received it had been too. busy to even look at it up to the last day and then was forgetting all about i t Schmidt, by personal appeal, got the committee to hold a meeting. His bill was looked over and the committee agreed to report it out with a small amendment The senate happened to reconvene after a recess just then and found it had nothing to do, so the Schmidt hill was reported out and named as amended. Schmidt hurried hack to the house, which also was just reconvening after a recess and had it accept the senate amendment to his bin. It had taken just tea minutes Co get tht bill out of committee an* ttoMgh both o* PINCKNEY DISPATCH. I emperance INoTes88 (Conducted by the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union.) 8ENT1MENT IN RU88IA. The Petrogrud correspondent of the Neue Zuricher Zeitung, in a'survey of the two years sobriety in Russia, quotes a representative of the duoia as tsayiug that "the very thought of the fearful consequences on the battlefield and in the country itself of a continuation of the alcohol regime makes every patriot shudder." The writer continues : "We are, therefore, more than overjoyed to know that it has been statistically proved that the daily producing capacity of the workingman, since the promulgation of that message of salvation, has been increased by 15 per cent, and that Monday, the day when millions of muzhik (farmers) were found in the gutters, has become a normal work day in Russia. But not only the mir (village community) felt the consequences; the life also in the city was as if of a sudden transformed. How quickly the population grasped the prospective benefits of the great reform is best shown by the fact that when it became known that the imperial ukase, in order to become legally valid, would need the express consent of the majority of the mlrs, only an exceedingly low percentage refused the Indorsement. "Nobody has so quickly and completely grasped the import of the social revolution as woman, the greatest sufferer from the old alcohol curse. We are, therefore, not astonished to learn that as soon as the saloons were definitely closed the peasant women marched to the churches in Indian file to burn a candle each, thanking the Lord for the great delivery. "When last spring the question of repermitting the sale of beer and red wine came up in the duma, Tarasov, a farmer-deputy, exclaimed : 'If the women would hear you they would pull you down from this platform.'" A NEW YORK HOTEL MAN'8 VIEW. * Mr. Frank Case, for 14 years proprietor of the Algonquin hotel, New York city, has closed his bar to stay closed. The fact is chronicled by the New York Times. Being asked "why" by a group of astonished friends to whom he made the announcement, Mr. Case pointed to a small boy crossing the hotel lobby with a bunch of school books under his arm. "There's one reason right there," he said. "That youngster is my own son, Just coming home from school. I have decided that I don't want to pay his school bills and the other costs of bringing him up on the profits from booze. I guess that's my chief reason, but there are others. "The large profits made by the bar, ($10,000 last year)," he went on, "made mo sick. I had to admit to myself that I was a rumseller, and that is something I don't want to be. I am not posing as a reformer. I take a drink myself occasionally, but I don't want to* sell it to another man.

Speaking at a meeting of the Dry Chicago federation concerning the memorial to congress in behalf of national prohibition, ex-Governor Foas of Massachusetts said: "The memorial Is cast In very radical terms, but It has won the support of most persons of great importance In the most conservative circles and in all walks of life. Professors of Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Princeton, heads of great railroad corporations, presidents of banks and leaders in the industrial and commercial world, a s well as scientists and alienists, have signed this document. We think that both congress and the country will be astonished at the character of the signatures when they are published." SIGNIFICANT ADS. Saloons—Several flrst-class locations, for sale or rent.

EGYPTIAN SKIRT IS GAINING Straight, Knife-Plaited Design Wins Increased Fsvor—Paris Invented It Because It Means Saving of Material. New York.—Probably the lack of eccentricity in the spring apparel la its distinguishing feature. This is an admirable trait In time of war, but France did not foresee that America would be in war when she designed the spring clothes that have been universally accepted in this country. Paris keeps its wartime clothes for its own people, and has never failed to send to the rest of the world a fresh batch of newly Invented gowns bearing all the marks of frivolity and extravagance. Many reasons have been given for the lack of eccentricity noticeable in the French gowns, but whatever the cause, it is a matter of satisfaction that the condition exists. Women are compelled to buy new raiment at each change of season, but in time of a national crisis they do not think It fitting or seemly to indulge in the peculiar caprices of dress which have marked recent eras. Other Days, Other Clothes. It is a common cry to say that the existing generation is always the most provocative of criticism. We forget what h'as gone before In history, in humanity and in religion, as well as in dress. There are critics who cry aloud over a certain fashion, consider it monstrous, and wonder what our young women and girls are coming to that such a fashion should be unblushlngly accepted. They speak In excitable tones of the respected dead and refer This gown 1« built up of two fash* ionable materials and colors. The skirt Is barreled by draperies of dark blue satin, the sleevea, collar and sash are of satin. The biscuit-colored jersey Is embroidered in dark blue. to our grandmothers as women who insisted upon dressing in a seemly and modest manner. But, just as Agnes Kepplier has forcibly and brilliantly told of the new women among the cAd women—the brilliant, insurgent characters that were the pioneers of our race in America—so some student could tell of the extravagances, caprices and indecencies in dress that swept over the generations to which our sainted grandmothers belonged, and which, in their time, were denounced by the pulpit and the press. This season is ushered in without the eccentricities of those generations or even the half-decade that has just slipped by. One may call the narrow skirt an eccentricity, but In Its modifled form it Is very attractive, and it saves material, which is the reason that Paris Invented i t It is rather amusing that the women who have organised for a national defense and who urge economy in buying clothe*, call especial attention to the pegtop or melon skirt as a garment to be frowned upon, when this very garment was invented by Paris to save material and thereby lower the price that a French woman has to pay for her skirt. , Naturally, the French designers did not charge the Americans any less for a pegtop skirt than a full one, nor will the American r h f •msknri make any dtflsresice hi prtoas because of the scarcity of matsrlst u s e d ; but t k s thousands upon thousands of women who buy material for their own gowns will aee the advantage In dropping the extra-full skirt and adopting the alira line of the new silhouette. The Straight Silhouette. Already the exclusive dressmakers are Insisting that the pegtop skirt, or the drapery that la pulled out at the hips, is mediocre. The first fashion, they insist, calls for a straight silhouette from shoulder to heels without the break given by the pannier effect at the end of the corset. What is known as the barrel skirt, pure and simple, has few followers, but the skirt with the kangaroo extension at each side is admittedly the popular success of the hour. Against this skirt is the one called Egyptian, which has been described by all the fashion writers until the women know most that there is to know about it. It is the straight, knife-plaited skirt dropped from the waist or from a shallow yoke, and is supposed to have been worn by the fashionable Alexandrians at the time of Thais and Aphrodite. There is so much that is Egyptian In the spring clothes that it should not surprise the onlooker to see this straight, plaited skirt win cat above all others before June arrives. Bulloz, for instance, has met with singular success in this country through a gown which he calls Aphrodite, and which was originally made for Mile. Chenal when she sang the title role In the opera last autumn in Paris. Bulloz has changed the gown somewhat, but everyone who was in Paris last autumn remembers it. It is made of black chiffon in three long, Egyptian tunics that hang limply against the figure, each one embroidered with a wide band of silver bugles in an ancient design. The upper tunic Is longer than the rest and hangs in drapery on the floor when dropped; but it Is skillfully manipulated by the arm, which can pass through a long, embroidered slit and drape the length of the chiffon and silver about the body as one wishes. Chenal was given to the posture of extending her arm In dramatic gestures, bringing about somewhat the same effect which she gave to the drapery which made her famous when she sang the "Marseillaise" in Paris. With this gown goes a tall Egyptian headdress of fine silver bugles and beads set on black. Egyptian Touch in Wraps. Another Egyptian touch in costumery Is shown In the evening wraps for spring, which are quite luxurious, but light In weight and texture. Taffeta Is used for this garment more than for any other. The wide, draped collar which rises above the ears and folds Itself down on the shoulders is the preferred one, and it Is used for street wraps as well as evening ones. None of this is Egyptian, but the touch of Cairo is seen In a great square of bullion-embroidered silk which, is placed flatlj agalr^gj jhe back of the wrap. On some garments it looks as though a brilliant, ornate cushion cover had been picked up and neatly tacked at each of its corners to the loose back of the taffeta wrap. The Egyptian Phoenix wing, which was decoratlvely used at one of the fashion exhibitions In New York, supplies color for much of the new costumery. The blue, green and coral of this symbolic bit of Egyptian life Is copied In gowns, and especially In Jewelry. With all this atmosphere of the E a s t of Cairo and Alexandria reflected In the clothes of the hour, It seems probable that the straight, plaited skirt that hangs plumb from the waistline will outlive the one with the side drapery at the hips. But even If both remain equal in value and fashion, one thing is certain—that there is no chance for the skirt with the wide hem. Since January, skirts have lessened In width below the knees, and although the public refused to believe that the wide, flaring, umbrella skirt belonged to a day that was done, the dressmakers have insisted upon Its use. In Paris they diminished the width of skirts gradually, but over here the change appeared to come overnight, although the prophets and experts had been insisting upon this revolution for three months. The trouble with the public Is that It will rarely believe what it reads, but relies on what It sees. This Is good, sound wisdom, but It often keeps a woman from being prepared for a change when it comes. The shops have the canny business instinct to supply the old with the new as long as they've got both on hand, but it is the duty of the reporter to tell of what is coming more Insistently than what Is going.

If we are anxious to keep well and preserve the vitality of the kidneys and, also, free the blood from noxious elements, we must pay special attention to a good action of the skin and to see that the kidneys are flushed so as to eliminate the poisons from the blood.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, April 20th, 1917 No 17 •tf« MSM Pinckney to Have a Band At the meeting held last Monday evening for the purpose of organizing a band in Pinckney, it was found that the material and enthusiasm was very Appeal to Bankers To Make Seed Loans The high coat of seed, particularly for beans and potatoes, threatens in .^ many sections of the state to deter the ^farmers from planting maximum acreages to theee crops, in the opinion of 'the farm crops department of the M.

The band already has the icing made to Michigan bankers today t3 rr.ake long term loans to agriculturists for the purchase of seed, with the tjc-.jp as a security. This~is a method for aiding farmers v/Lioh some state bankers have already iiiopted, and which is an established feature of agricultural finance in the tiouth. "Short term loans of from 00 to 90 days will not meet this situation," declared J. F. Cox, acting profe%sor of farm crops at the college, ''but by arranging special seed loans running until the crops are harvested, both the farmer and the banker will be benifitted. In the south the entire banking system in rural.'communities is based on the cotton crop and loans are freely made, payable at harvest time. The adoption of this plan in Michigan will do muchtoward insuring the planting of every available acre. The situation offers a rare opportunity for bankers to render a great service to the state.

She Is forced to stay 24 hours, until Law captures his man, kills another and escorts her home. "Young Ed" Austin, drunken wastrel, berates his wife and makes Insulting insinuations about the ranger. Austin is secretly In league with Mexican rebels and horse thieves. Mrs. Austin starts for her other ranch, La Ferla, in Mexican territory, to secure damages for cattle taken by Mexican soldiers, and encounters Gen.

Tm as gentle as a sheep." Then to escape further curiosity on that point, he suggested that they round out their riotous evening with a game of pool. The next morning at hreakfast Paloma announced, "Father, you must help Dave hunt down these cattle thieves." "Ain't that sort of a big order?" Blaze queried. "Perhaps, but you're the very mau to do it. Ricardo Guzman is the only person who knows the Lewis gang as well as you do." Jones shook his head doubtfully. "Don Ricardo has been working up his own private feud with that outfit If 1 was the kind that went looking for a fight, 1 wouldn't have paid freight on myself from the Panhandle down here. I could have got one right at home, any morning before breakfast." "Ricardo Guzman is something of a black sheep himself," Law spoke up. "Pshaw! He's all right I reckon he has changed a few brands in his time, but so has everybody else. Why, that's how 'Old Ed' Austin got bis start. If a cowman tells you he never stole anything, he's either a good liar or a bad roper. But Ricardo's going straight enough now.* "He has lost his share of stock," Paloma explained, "and he'll work with you If father asks him. You go along with Dave—'* "I'm too busy," Blaze demurred, "and I ain't feeling good. I had bud dreams all night." "I don't want you around me here this morning. That new dressmaker is coming."

The Gasman ranch comprised a goodly number of acre*, and, since live stock .multiply rapidly, Its owner had In some sort prospered.

RIcartto had Just risen from a siesta ~ when his two visitors rode up, and he made them welcome with the best he had.

Tea, be had endured many depredations from thieves. It was shamefuL hot doubtless God willed that a certain 4 amount of stealing should go q » world. The < t s ^ favored by nature* la tty. tse the gJreef ( country to the north and east offered almost perfect security, and the river, to the south, gave Immunity from pursuit or prosecution. The beeves were driven north into the wilderness, but the horses went to Mexico, where the war had created a market for them. The federals had plenty of money to buy mounts. Whom did Don Ricardo suspect? The old man was noncommittal. Suspicion was one thing, proof was quite another; and conviction was difficult under the best of circumstances. Why, even a cow's recognition of her own calf was not evidence for a court, and alibis were easily proved. Unless the thieves were caught in the very act there was no case against them, and—por Dios I—one could not be forever on guard. Who could tell where the malefactors would strike next? Now, in Mexico one could afford to kill on undesirable neighbor without so much formality. But, thank God! Don Ricardo was not a Mexican. No, he was a good American citizen. It was something to make him sleep well in these war times. "Just the same, I'll bet he'd steep better if the Lewis outfit was cleaned up," Dave ventured, and Blaze agreed. Guzman caught bis enemy's name, and nodded. "Ah! That sin verguenza! He sells arms to the Candelerlstas and horses to the Potosistas. Perhaps he steals my calves. Who knows?" "Senor Lewis doesn't need to steal. He has money," Jones argued. "TrueJ But who Is so rich that he would not be richer? Lewis employs men who are poor, and he himself is above nothing. I, too, am a friend of the rebels. Panchlto, the Liberator, was a saint, and 1 give money to the patriots who fight for his memory. But I do not aid the tyrant Potosl with my other hand. Yes, and who is richer, for Instance, than Senor Bduardo Austin?" "You surely don't accuse him of double-dealing with the rebels?" Blaze Inquired curiously. "I don't know. He Is a friend of Tad Lewis, and there are strange stories afloat Just what these stories were, however, Ricardo would not say, feeling, perhaps that he had already said too much. The three men spent that evening together, and In the morning Blaze rode home, leaving the Ranger behind for the time being as Gasman's guest Dave put in the next two days riding the pastures, familiarizing' himself with the countryi and talking with the few men he met About all be discovered, however, was the fact that theN Guzman range not only adjoined some of Lewis' leased land, but also was bounded- for several miles by the Las Palmes fence. It was pleasant to spend the days among the shy brush-cattle, with Bessie Belle for company. The mare seemed to enjoy the excursions as much as her owner. Her eyes and ears were ever alert; she tossed her head and snorted when a deer broke cover or a Jackrabbit scuttled out of her path; she Showed a friendly interest in the awkward calves which stood and eyed her with such amazement and then galloped stiffly off with tails high arched. Law had many times undertaken to break Bessie Belie of that habit of flinging ber head high at sadden sounds, but **• *** nervous and Inquisitive, and this was the one thing anon which she maintained s feminine obstinacy* On. the second evening the Banger rode home through a drizzle that had materialized after a tong, rhiastsnlng" afternoon and now promised to become a real rain. BSoantp taet aim the door roaay: "Too bring good fortune with /on, fee the Uad is thirsty. * » * * # . row, tf this rain Holds, w* shall ctfe together—you, Pedro uud I. Those thieves 6o their stealing when they leave no tracks." The sky was leaden, the rain still fell in the morning when Dave and his two companions set out Until afternoon they rode, tbelr slickers dripping, swaying to the tireless foxtrot of their steaming horses, their eyes engaged in a watchful scrutiny. At lust Pedro, who was ahead, reined in and pointed; the others saw where the barbed-wire strands of the fence they had been following were clipped. A number of horse and calf tracks led through the opening, and after an examination Kicardo announced : "There are two woen. They have come and gone, with the calves tied neck and neck." "That is Las Pal mas, isn't It?" Law indicated the pasture Into which the trail led. Father and son answered, "Si, senor." For a time the Ranger lounged sidewise in his saddle, studying the country before him. Perhaps a half-mile away a long, narrow patch of woods, with the tops of occasional oaks showing, ran parallel with the fence for a considerable distance. "They took them in yonder, to brand," he said, straightening himself. "Maybe we'll be in time." Side by side the three men rode off Guzman's land, following the tracks to the nearest point of woods; there Law stopped to give his directions. "Pedro, you ride down this side; Ricardo, you skirt the outside. I shall keep to the middle. Walk your horses, for I shall go slowly." With a dubious shake of the head Ricardo rode away, while Dave guided Bessie Belle into the grove. CHAPTER VII. A Ranger1* Horse. Onward through the dense folluge the two friends wound. Now and then they stopped to listen, but the rain was heavy enough to drown nil other noises. Encountering fresh tracks finally, Dave leaned from his saddle and studied them. He had gone perhaps half a mile when Bessie Belle raised her head, and lie noted that her nostrils were working sensitively. Law fancied that he could detect the smell of a wood Are. Further along they came to a place where the brush was low, and there, rising through the treetops beyond, he saw a wavering plume of blue smoke. The Ranger rode Into sight of the branding Are with his repeater across his saddle horn and his thumb upon the hammer; what followed came with almost the blinding suddenness of a lightning crash. First there was the picture of a sandy glade, in the center of which burned a Are with branding Irons In It, and a spottea calf tied to a tree, but otherwise no sign of life. Then, without warning, Bessie Belle threw up ber head In that characteristic trick of hers, and simultaneously Dave saw a figure rise out of the grass at his left with a rifle leveled. With the first Jerk of his horses nead tifs own gun had leaped to his shoulder—he was not conscious of having willed it to do so—and even as be pressed the trigger he felt Bessie Belle give way. The next Instant bis feet still In the stirrups, were on the ground and his horse lay between them, motionless. That nervous fling of her head had saved Davtfs life, for the rustler's bullet had shattered her skull In its flight, and she lay prone, with scarcely a mascuiar twitch, so sudden bad been her end. For a moment the Ranger was dazed. He stood staring down at bis pet; then the truth engulfed him. Be realized that he had ridden her to her death, and at the thought be became like a woman bereft of ber child, like a lover who had seen his sweetheart slain. A shout—It was a hoarse, inarticulate cry; a swift, maddened scrutiny that searched the sodden scene of the ambush; then be was down beside the mare, calling ber name heartbroken!?, Ms arms around her neck, his face against her warm, wet velvet bide. Law knew that two men bad entered the thicket and therefore one still remained to be reckoned with, but he gave no thought to that From the corner of hla eye he could see a pair of bootsoles staring at him out of the grass, and they told him them •was not need tor investigation: Near the body ha heard tha calf stirring, be* b* Jet tt straggle. Besets DetMftt bright eyes were glas> jag. t t * voice. Don Ricardo and his SOB burst out of the Druah from upposlte directions almost tit the same moment, tt Hud the Hunger with bia face burled lu hla horse's mane. "Ctirurabu! What is this?" The old man flung himself from the saddle uud came running. "You are injured?" Tedro, too, bent over the officer, his brown face pule with apprehension. "Mother of God !" breathed the latter. "It was a wlli thing to do, to ride alone—" "I'm all right," Law said, rising stiffly, whereupon both Mexican* voiced their relief. "The saints be praised!" "Si! What happened? There was u shot! Did you see nothing?" Law jerked his head in the direction of the fallen man at his buck and Pedro uttered a loud cry. "Look !" Father and son ran through the grass, then recoiled and broke into a Jargon of ouths and exclamations. "KIght In the mouth! The fellow vvus in death before he realized lt.': "See! It Is as we thought, Pedro; one of Lewis'I Tse I Tsel Tse 1 What a sight!" "Who is he?" queried the officer. "Pino Garza, one of the worst I" chimed the two Guzmans. Kicardo was dancing in his excitement. "I told you that Lewis knew something. The other one got past me, but I cannot shoot like—this." It was difficult to secure a connected story from Ricardo, but he finally made it plain that at the first report the other thief had fled, exposing himself only long enough for the old man to take a quick shot in his direction. Uicardo had missed, and the miscre> ant was doubtless well away by LhU time. lie had ridden a sorrel horse, that was all Ricardo could remember. Law looked only briefly at the gruesome results of his marksmanship then he turned back to tbe body of liia beloved mare. Ricardo noticed al length that he was crying; as th« Ranger knelt beside the dead thoroughbred, the old Mexican whispered to his son; "Valgame Dios! This is a Strang* fellow. He weeps like a woman. He must have loved that horse as a mac «oves his wife. Who can understand these gringos?" After a time he approached cautiously and inquired: "What shall we do with this hotnbre, senor? Pedro has found his horse." Law roused himself. With his own hands he gently removed Bessie Belle's saddle, bridle and blanket, then ht gave his orders. "I'll take your horse, Ricardo, and you take—that fellow's. Get a wagon and move him to Jonesvllle." "And you?" "I'm going to follow that man on the sorrel." The dead man's saddle was left beside the body; then when the exchange of mounts had been effected, and all was ready, Law made a request that amazed both father and son. "If I'm not back by morning, I want you to bury my mare." His voice broke; he turned away his face. "Bury her deep, Ricardo, so—the coyotes can't dig her up; right where she fell. I'll be back to see that it's done right. Understand?" "Bueno! I understand perfectly. She was a pretty horse. She was your —bonitn, eh? Well, you hnvo a big heart, senor. ns n brave man should have. Everything shall be done as you wish; I give you my hand on It." Ricardo reached down and gripped Law's pnlm. "We will name our pasture for her, too, because It is plain you loved her dearly. So, then, until tomorrow." Law watched his two friends ride away, then, with a miserable ache in his throat, he mounted and rode off to pick up the trail of the man on the sorrel pony. The fellow had ridden In the direction of Las Palmas, which Dave judged must be fully twelve miles away, and when they continued to maintain this course the Ranger became doubly in* terested. He risked his own interpretation of the rider's intent and pushed on without pausing to search oat the trail step by step. At the second sate the signs Indicated that his man was little more than an hoar ahead of him. Tbe prospect of agsln seeing the raddy-hsired mistress of Las Palmas stirred Law more deeply than he cared to admit Nevertheless, he was uncomfortably aware that she had s husband. Not only so, but the sharp contrast In their positions was disagreeable to contemplate; she was unbelievably rich, and a person of Influence in tbe state, while be bad nothing except bis health, his saddle and bis horse— No; no horse now, sbe was gone.

W£>: Many humorous Incidents have marked the rush for recruits which have been made at the army, navy and marine corps enlisting stntiorts dur- ; lng the last few days, says the Indian- j apolls News. One day at the navy station In the federal building a big, rawboned fellow applied for enlistment as an apprentice seaman. On examination, the officers at the Station found that he was just a little over age for this class of service. He then offered to "ship" as a cook. He was asked whether he had any recommendations for that sort of work. "I haven't got any recommendations," he said. 'But if you order some ham and eggs I will show you what I can do along that line." That didn't seem to satisfy the officers and the man appeared to be up against i t ••Welt I won't ship as a fireman," he said, "that sort of work is too tough for me. If you won't have me as a cook I guess I will have to enlist as pearl diver/' m: Old-Fashioned. "Is be old-fashionedT "Sure thing. He still waits for his teeth to ache before going to a dentist. Eminently Qualified. A tiny boy wearing smoked spectacles sat on the curb and watched other boys playing ball in the street. He made an excitable audience, jumping up-, moving his arms and calling out as if he really had something to do with the game. And sometimes—just sometimes—a boy would think to wave back. He was rather a pathetic little chap, but he didn't know it, for when a man paused to ask him If he was having a good time he piped out with happy Importance : "Yes, sir; I'm the umpire." "That's a fine position. How did they come to give it to you?" "Because I can't see straH;ht." The man said It was a most excellent reason, but he doubtless knew that the boys had a finer one.—Washington Star. Busy Correspondents.

"In a war like this, they also serve and serve effectively who till the fields and gardens. "It cannot be repeated too often that the world needs every ounce of food it can produce this year, and that the growers of that food are sure of good prices. When men now of middle age were casting their first ballot, 'dollar wheat' was the farmer's ideal of prosperity. Today, we have two-doilur wheat, with other grains and meats and vegetables in proportion; and Indications that any shift from these prices is as likely to be up as down. "Every acre must work. The farmer who increases his crops Is performing a national service,, us well as assuring prosperity for himself. There cannot be too much, and unless a united and consistent effort is made, there will not be enough."—Chicago Journal. Now that the United States has joined with the Allies, the sentiment of the past has merged into the personal interest of the present. The duty of the loyal and patriotic citizen is to bend every effort to bring the great World's-War to a satisfactory conclusion, to assist in all ways the forces that have been fighting at tremendous odds the giant power of autocracy. Victory is now assured; the union of the great fighting force of the United States navy, Its military, Us financial co-operation, its full and complete sympathy, will eventually bring about a peace that will be solid and lasting. Canada, just across the border line, that has no mark of fortification, no signs of defense, welcomes the assistance that the United States Is rendering, welcomes this new partner into the arena that is battling for a disruption of the forces that breed and beget tyranny and oppression, and fighting for a democratic and free world. What a sight it will be to see the American and the Canadian, with the Stars and Stripes and the Maple Leaf of Canada emblazoned In one fold and entwined in their effort to rid the world of an incubus that has disregarded all laws— human and divine. There is a necessity for the greatest effort ever was made, not only on the battlefields of Europe, not only on the mined and submarined seas, but in carrying out on the peaceful fields of agriculture, the plans so urgently requested by those at the head of the departments of resources. The recent reports by the Government show a great falling off in the amount of grain that may be expected from the crop as of recent date, being only a little over 60 per cent, 16 per cent less than the average. Every patriotic American will bend ail his effort towards increasing this. He may not shoulder a musket, but he can handle a hoe, he can drive a team and manage a plow. He will be doing yeoman service in this way, and assist In a wonderful manner the man who Is fighting In the trenches. If he does not now own a piece of land, by all means get one—rent it, buy it—;get it. There is lot of vacant land that will give ample return for his labor. The desire to possess a home, to Improve it and to prosper, is natural to every American, and today unprecedented offers are being made to secure the residence of the home-hunter. The war condition is draining the continent of its foodstuffs and economists are endeavoring to meet the rapid depletion of the nation's stores of grain and^ other farm products. Western Canada has proven her claim to being the natural producer of economically grown foodstuffs and is lndeavortng to -overcome a world's shortage in necessities by offering her lands, practically free, to anyone who will take them and produce. Labor is scarce in Canada, and is now being bonused. Good wages are. offered and the time a farm hand is drawing pay in 1917, Is considered by the Canadian Government, the same as residence duties on one of the free 180- acre farms, that this Government is giving away, in order, to settle the fertile pftiHes and* bring about within a few years a half billion annual crop of ifrheat. The most conclusive evidence is available to any Inquirer, that Western Canada farm lands win produce more wheat of a better quality and at a lower cost of production per acre than has heretofore been known in graingrowing countries. It is-no idle statement to say, that yUMs of fifty bushels to the acre of wheat are grown in Canada ; the statement is made in all seriousness and la hacked up by the letters and affidavits of reliable fanners hi Western Canada. Tbete tanners are enjoying the same hone comforts that their neighbors to the oooth participate; they have the same good the name good horeea and cattle, the some good roads isnmieetfton, aa won aa the they owu for themselves, being a foundation for greater wealth and independence.— Advertisement.

NO WARNING WAS GIVEN British Admirality Announces That Only One of the Ships Sunk Car* ried Distinctive Markings. London.—The British hospital ships Donnegal and Lanfranc, with manywounded aboard, have been torpedoed without warning. Of those aboard the Donnegal, 29 wounded and 12 of the crew are missing. The Lanfranc carried German wounded as well as British. Of those aboard, 19 British and 15 Germans are believed to have perished. The Lanfraace was a vessel of 6,287 tons gross. She was 418 feet in length and was built in 1907. The Donnegal registered 1,197 tons gross. She was built at Greenock in 1904 and was 331 feet long. The British Admirality made the following announcement : "Owing to the German practice of sinking hospital ships at sight and to the fact distinctive marking and lighting of such vessels render them more conspicuous targets for German submarines, it has become no longer possible to distinguish our hospital ships in the customary manner. One of these two ships, therefore, though carrying wounded, was not in any way outwardly distinguished as a hospital •hip. "The distinctive markings of the other had not yet been removed. Both were provided with an escort for protection."

Washington—The administration selective draft bill which this week Is being debated In congress was explained by Senator Chamberlain to newspaper representatives. Senator Chamberlain said the bill provided for immediate raising of the regular army to 11,422 officers and 287,000 enlisted men and the national guard to 10,956 officers and 326,000 enlisted men, giviing the two forces a total combined strength of 22,898 officers and 614,748 enlisted men. These troops would be raised by the volunteer system if possible. In addition to this force the president would be authroized to raise a force immediately of 500,000 men, and still another force of 600,000 if he deems it necessary. Besides these troops, the bill would authorise maintenance of forces in training to keep the other units at full war strength. Thus, he explained the bill would create a force of 1,611,000 men, in addition to these held in training to fill gaps in the first line establishment. Senator Chamberlain pointed out that draft of all men between Id and 25 would raise a force of approximate* ly 6,000,000 men but with exemptions provided as to trades and dependents the total number accepted would not be more than 2,500,000, or less than half. Should our armies become seriously engaged, the other 3,500,000 would be called, and if that should fail to suffice, then it would be necessary to increase the age limit beyond 25 years.

Mr. Kruttscbnitt urged the committee to recommend a plan of regulation which will center responsibility for regulation and its results in the federal government, so that conditions affecting l >th expense* and.revenues may be made subject to a uniform policy Instead of the wasteful and often conflicting policies involved in the system of combined state and federal regulation. •Why Roado-Need More Money. l^r. Kruttschnltt's testimony also had *y bearing on the reasons for the application of the roads to the Interstate Commerce Commission for a general advance in freight rates. He showed tbat while the price of transportation jma declined in recent years, the cost «ff product)g transportation, like the cost of almost everything else, has rap. Hfco--advanced. This he illustrated by it if freight and passenger Increased during the past in the same proportion as eOBsmodity prices the railroads ^ ¾ ^ ¾ ¾ IWtod «tates would have re- ^ 4 . . ••• eeKei flMiQW.Wh nor* for transaertat> asi la 1W5 than they did receive. t s lae pubik was effect - ' ^ asV^i elite e l am mcreaae of ¢8 per i ^ S d - s a d e e e s t ef eeeration of traias, vS-*w s istecftsa i s tee average passes- > ^ ^rr-JiL&k-Z. l i o n ^m cents in Jal91fii a decrease a reduction in the average freight rate per ton mile from 8.89 mills in 1895 to 7.8 mills in 1915, or IS per cent. During the same period the cost of operation per train mile rose from 92 cents to $1.78, almost doubling. At the same time the average price of 346 commodities enumerated in a bulletin of the Department of Agriculture increased 115 per cent. Transportation is practically the only commodity ia general use that has not increased tremendously in price during the past twenty years, freight and passenger charges being lower than they were twenty years ago. Big Saving to Publlo. If rates bad risen proportionately to the increase in tbe cost of other articles of ordinary use, Mr. Kruttscbnitt told the committee, the average passenger rate in 1915 would have been 2.96 cents s mile, or 50 per cent higher than it was, and the average freight rate would hare been 1.21 cents, or 66 per cent higher than ft was. The sar. ing to the public in passenger fares through this difference was 6314,000,- 000 and in freight rates 61340,000,000. Universal railroad bankruptcy under this reduction in rates and increased cost of operation, he said, was avoided only l)y heavy expenditures to obtain increased efficiency in train movement, making it possible to haul more tons of freight per locomotive. This had reduced tbe average cost of hauling a ton of freight, but the decline in tbe average freight rate had reduced the net revenue of the roads from each ton hauled. If the operating costs of the railroads, including the prices of coal, labor and material, continue to ad« vance at the preseut rate a lot of railroads will be in the hands of receivers by 1918 unless some relief is afforded, Mr. Kruttscbnitt told tbe committee. "Owing to the rise of commodity prices,'' he said, "the purchasing power of the dollar has fallen 55 per cent and the railroads are in the position of being compelled by law to accept payment for their service to the public in currency worth 45 cents on the dollar. PubHc'e Chief Intorost. "Tbe public's greatest Interest la in adequate transportation facilities and not so much in low rates. As to most commodities freight rates form a very small proportion of their cost. Bx^ eluding low grade commodities, tbe percentage of the freight rate to the coat Is so slight as to offer no justification for any substantial Increase in prices to the consumer. It may be stated with little fear of contradiction that the consumer seldom, if ever, profits from a lowering of freight rates. "Extortionate charges are a thing of the past, and under tbe attempt to cut rates to their lowest possible figure the interest of the whole public in the character and standard of transportation is Mhordinated to tbe interest of that pert of the public only that profits by lower rates—that is to say, tbe sMp. pers sad their agents end not tee general public, the ultimate •-•• •*£&#>: * % - • * : • * > 1 .,.-:.-^ ku •>iu by Aiiioru ;ui I'M---.- As.s.jL-'aiion.

'*anip of David]taw, aranger, hunting a Mexican murderer. Circumstances force her to stay 24 hours La the camp. Law catches his man, kills another and escorts her home. "Young Ed" Austin, drunken wastrel, berates bis wife and makes Insinuations about the' ranger. Austifl Is secretly In league with Mexican rebels; Alalre starts for her ranch La Feria, in federal Mexican territory, to secure damages for cattle confiscated by soldiery. CHAPTER V—Continued. *I was coming to that tour husband, senora, is an active CandelerlstaJ For a moment Alalre was at a lost; i very words, senora. Caramba i There then she replied with some spirit: *We are two people, he and L La Feria belongs to ma" "Nevertheless his conduct Is regrettable," Longorlo went on. "Probably evil men have lied to him." For the first time Dolores stirred. She had watched*her countryman with a peculiar fascination. ,No\v she said, as tf freed from a spell: "i'ah! Nobody pays heed to Senor Ed. We do not consider Win/ 'Jose, something tells me you are a devil for bravery. Guard your mistress with your life, for If any mishap befalls her I shall cut out your heart with my own hands/ Those were his Is a man to die for.' Nor was this the last of Longorlo's dramatic surprises. Shortly after the train had got under way the lieutenant Jn command of Alalre's guard brought her n small package, saying: "The general commanded me to hand you this* with his deepest regard." Aiaire accepted the object curiously. ] It was small and heavy and wrapped In several leaves torn from a notebook, and !t proved to be nothing less than God protect us, now J" murmured Dolores, crossing herself devoutly. Aiaire turned upon her with a sharp the splendid dlamond-and-ruby ring exclamation, conscious meanwhile that she had admired the woman's tone, even more tnun ner words, had enlightened Longorlo to some extent. His lifted brows were eloquent of surprise and curiosity, but he held his tongue. "Am I to understand, then, that you rob me because of my husband's action?" Alalre asked. "No. 1 shall help." Longorlo beamed enthusiastically. "It shall be the object of my life to serve you, and you and I shall arrange this matter satisfactorily. I have influence, believe me. Duty calls me to Nuevo Pueblo, and you shall return with me as the guest of my government." He rose to his feet, but his eagerness soon gave place to disappointment ' "Thank you," said Aiaire, "but I must first go to La Feria and get all the facts." "Senora! It la a wretched Journey. Beet" He waved a contemptuous gesture at the ear, crowded to congestion. •There is no food; you have no one to wait upon you. In my company you will be safe. Upon my honor, you will enjoy the highest eoHrtesy—n "Of course. But 1 must go on, 1 have Dolores and Jose to look after me/ Alalre indicated Sanchez, who had edged his way very close and now stpod with admiring eyes fixed upon his hero.

"Caramba 1 The man £ a demon! And such eyes. Uf!" Dolores was interrupted by Longorlo's voice beneath the open window. The general stood, cap In band, holding up to Aiaire a solitary wtldflower which he had plncked beside the track. . "See!" be cried. "It is the color of four adorable eyes—blue like the Sapphire gem." He placed the delli^ te bloom In Alalre's fingers and was "Ouldado r breathed Dolores. "There on It; the blood of innocents. burn for a million years in hell. CHAPTER VI. Blaze Jones and Hit Neighbors. B)<i%e Jones rode up to his front gate and dismounted In the shade of the big ebony tree. He stepped back and ran an approving eye over another animal tethered there. Of course the youths of this day were nothing like the youths of his own. and yet—Blaze let his gaze linger fondly on the highbred mare and her equipment—here at least was a person who knew a good horse, a good saddle and a good gun. As he came up the walk he heard Paloma laugh, and his own face lightened, for his daughter's merriment waa contagious. Then as he mounted, the steps- and turned the corner of the "gallery" he uttered a hearty greeting. "Pave Law! Where in the worW did you drop from?" Law uncoiled himself and took the ranchman's hand. "Hello, Blaze I I been ordered, down, here to keep-you straight" "Pshaw! Now who's been giving you orders. DaveT* "Why, Pra with the Rangers." "Never knew a word of it Last I heard you was filibustering around with the Maderlstas." Blaze seated himself with a grateful sigh where the breeze plaited over him. Be waa a big, heerlike,Jfts»rthy man w|t% t|Ksojfa8^e^4wii deep-lined face of a tragedian, and a head of long, early hair, which he wore parted In 1 line over his left ear. Jones was t character, a local landmark. This pais; of Texas bad grown up with Blaze, and he possessed a splendid indifference to the artificial fads of drest Sanchez came plowing into tremendously excited. r he cried. "Look what ive me/ and he proudly o's service revolver. was nV cartridge it with fee Jeaartjnist was n> .^einw uis own * mm im e, and he r-* •«;**'-r and manners. He was plainly an out* "So you're a Ranger, and got notches on your gun." Blaze rolled and lit a* Uny cigarette, scarcely larger than a/ wheat straw. "Well, you'd ought t% make a right able thief-catcher, Dav£ onjy for js5*r siae—you're tec long f » a man and you ain't long enough for 9 snake. Still, I reckon a thief woulj have trouble getting out of your reach, and once you got close to him— How many men have you Jellied?" "Counting Mexicans?" Law inquired with a smile. "Nobody counts them." "Not many/ "That's good.** Blaze nodded and relit his cigarette, which he had permitted promptly to smolder out "The force ain't what It was. Most of the hoys nowadays Join so they can ride a hone cross-lots, pack a pair of guns, and give rein to the predilections of a vicious ancestry. They're bad rams, moat of "em." "There aren't many/ said Paloma^ "Dave tells me the whole force has) been cut down to sixteen." * That's plenty/ her father averredV "It's like when Cap^n Bill McDonald, waa sent to stop a riot In Dallas, Be} came to town alone, and when tan cttf* •ens naked him wfcer* bis men was, liarssM'slaJt I enenghl There's oaij |o*» flat.' awe ye* workU' m> a ens% •;- <> < • ' • + • • *> + "Uuu-iMr-ye»\_ People qr«? uupeliig a lot of stock hereabouts." "it's these blamed refugees from the WS^I;\k\ Memao has to steal something or he gets run down and pore. If It ain't stock, it's something else." Dave Law'» duties as a Hanger rested lightly upon blm; bis Instructions were vague, and he bad a leisurely method of "working up" his evidence. Since he knew that Blaze possessed a thorough knowledge of this section and Its people, it was partly business which had brought him to the Jones borne this afternoon. Strictly speaking, Blaze was not a rancher. He had speculated heavily In raw lands, and for several years past be bad devoted bis energies to a gigantic colonization scheme. It was by no means a small operation in which he was engaged. The venture had taken foresight courage, Infinite har<! work; Blaze was burdened with responsibilities that would have broken down a man of weaker fiber. But his pet relaxation was reminiscence. His own experience had been wide, he knew everybody in his part of the state, and although events in his telling were sometimes colored by his rich imagination, the information he could give was often of the greatest value—as Dave Law knew. After a time the latter said, casually, "Tell me something about Tad Lewis." Blaze looked up quickly. "What do you want to know?" "Anything. Everything." "Tad owns a right nice ranch between here and Las Paimas," Blaze said cautiously. Paloma broke out impatiently. "Why don't you say what you think?" Then to Dave: "Tad Lewis is a bad neighbor, and always has been. There's a ford on his place, and we think he knows more about 'wet' cattle than he cares to tell." "It's a good place to cross stock at low water," her father agreed, "and Lewis' land runs back from the Rio Grande in its old4 Spanish form. It's a natural outlet for those brush-country ranchos. But I haven't anything agninst Tad except a natural dislike. He stands well with some of our best people, so I'm probably wrong. I usu- 1 ally am." "You can't call Ed Austin one of our best people/ sharply, objected Paloma. "They claim that arms are being smuggled across to the rebels, Dave, and, if lfs true, Ed Austin—" "Now, Paloma/ her father remonstrated mildly. "The regulars and the river guards watched Lewis' ranch till the embargo was lifted, and they never saw anything." "I believe Austin is a -strong rebel sympathizer," Law ventured. "Sure! And him and the Lewis outfit are amigos. If you ,go pirootin' around Tad's place you're raore'n apt to make yourself unpopular, Dave. Fa grieve some to Bee you In a wooden kimono. Tad's too well fixed to steal cattle, and _lf he runs arms it's because he's a 'galvanized Gringo' himself— married a Mexican, you know."" When mealtime drew near, both Jones and his daughter urged their guest to stay and dine with them, and Dave was glad to accept "After supper I'm going to show you our town," Blase declared. "It's the. finest city In south Texas, and grow* tug like a weed. All we need is good farmers. Those we've got are mostly back-to-nature students, who leaped a drug counter expecting tb 'light in the lap of luxury. In the last outfit we sold there wasn't three men that knew which end of a mule to put the collar on. But they'll leara. Nature's with 'em. and so am L God supplies 'em with all the fresh air and sunshine they need, and when they want any* thing else they come to Old Blase. Ain't that right PalomaT" "Yes, father." Paloma Jones had developed wonderfully since Dave Law had last seen her. She had grown into a most whole* some and attractive young woman, with an honest, humorous pair of brown eyes, During dinner she did her part with a grace that made watch* ing her a pleasure, and the Ranger] found it a great treat to sit at her table after his strenuous sconting-daya in the mesqnUn, — # T m glad to hear lonesviUe is nree> peroue/ he* told his host "And tney say you're In everything." -That's right; and prosperity's no name for It, Everybody wants felsne to have s finger in the pie, I*M insets anted, hi the nank, the sngar seilL the hardware store, the tee piant— Bay. the lea plant's a tatxury for a town Ons sJsn, Ttywi fese* wsvt I it test yenrr v •Twenty-seven thousand dollars r The father of Jonesvllle spoke proudly. taiprfc*St*ely| tuid thenb thfough Liabit^CttUjiid upon,, id* daugbtf? &* verlfiJ&ticE ML>t#Vt % Paloin*=f!

J ! £Mve b*d*4o/ig Wbce learnedffhnt to hold Blaze Jones to a strict accountability with fact was to rob his society of Its, greatest charm. A slavish accuracy In figures, un arid lack ot imagination, reduces ponversation to the Insipidness of Apt wine, and Blaze's talk was never dull. He was a keen, shrewd, practical man, but somewhere in his being there was concealed a tremendous, lox>sided sense of humor which took the form of a bewildering Imagery. An attentive audience was enough for him, and, once bis fancy was In full swing, there waa no limit to his outrageous exaggerations. A light of credulity in a hearer's eye filled him with prodigious mirth, and it Is doubtful If bis listen* era ever derived a fraction of the amusement from his fabrications that he himself enjoyed. Paloma's spirit of contradiction was the only fly in bis ointment; now that bis daughter was old enough to "keep books" on blm, much of the story-teller's Joy was denied him. Of course his proclivities occasionally led to misapprehensions; chance acquaintances who recognized him as an artful romancer were liable to consider him generally untruthful. But even in this misconception Blaze took a quiet delight, secure in the knowledge that all who knew him well regarded him as a rock of integrity. As a matter of fact, his genuine exploits were quite as sensational as those of his manufacture. When, after supper, Blaze had bitched a pair of driving mules to his buckbonrd, preparatory to showing bis guest the glories of Jonesvllle, Dave said : "Paloma's getting mighty pretty."

"There's no wind," said Danny. "No wind! What's the matter with you? There's Morgan's schooner under sail going down the river now."

The wild grnpe Is a bandy vine, growing with scarcely any attention. It can be made to cover a Bide fence as - dense hedge, or trained over a trellis or up shade trees. Young plants may be secured in almost any wood or along bushy fence rows. They are transplanted in late fall or winter. Grapevines of every description are attractive, however. The blue gwpe; with' its, health of luscious fruit should find, a place on the home grounds. FOR THE AMATEUR GROWER By LIMA R, ROSE. Flowers should have a friable, very fertile soil tri which to grow. They of tea make a brave display In rather poor soli, but they appreciate good care. Do not plant flower plants to.o close together. Verbenas sadiild fee at least/ 18 inches apart; petunias the same; phlox a foot; pansles 10 inches; sinbias 18 Inches; marigold 2 feet; popples 10 Inches. If flowers are too close In the bed they will not make thrifty growth nor will the flowers; be as large and plentiful. Keep flower beds out of the center of the lawn. They show with better effect if used as borders for walks and aroindtthesWeSr of the. lsrwn. Do you want a soft, thick turf on your lawn? If so, mow often with a lawn mower and let the clippings lie Where*thiey tfail. *Ctiey will Soon Settle in the grass and after awhile they will nja)ta:a-arehiOj[iy soft coat, which keeps the soil from drying out too touch, s«ft>fta;lN4ge8; *t-«*- the^^Cttryv1* If the law"n is a little bumpy, fill the depressions a little at a time with a I peas and pansies, fine garden soil. Put half an. inch of soil 0¾ at a time, and let the grass grow through It before putting on anj more. In this way a lawn can be made smooth in the course of a season or two without being torn \.p and lying bare for months. Do not plant shade trees too near the house. Give the air a chance to circulate round and through the house. Set the trees so as to shade windows during the hottest hours, if you want them shaded, but never close enough to prevent the air from enteriug the windows freely. It is a mi.spaJsen idea that ivy vines keep the.., house damp. They keep it dry. A* soon as the potted plant AHlW the pot, in; which it is plaufed w^th rootSi give them a larger pot or prune it down and prtme the roots so as to Plate fewer of them. Unless this Is done the plant soon be/?an%a/"potbound and begins to deteriorate. Geraniums grow very ' easy from seeds, as do coleuaes. Plant the seed In very fine soil in a box, covering the box with gjass^ or, better/et, muslin * stretched over a frame. Give the little plants plenty of air as soon as they begin to throw out the third leaf. Many interesting varieties may be grown in this way. I like to see flowers about a house and doorway. I da not remember tohave ever seen an anarchist wearing a buttonhole bouquet or a very bad citizen whose house and yard contained flowers. Barsams show to best advantage when they are pruned to one straight stem. Pinch off every side branch, and the single stalk left will be COBJ^ pfetely covered with "a mass of bloom. All flowers keep in bloom much longer, and the flowers are larger, If not allowed to form seeds. Pinch off evtsry^o^er^'"toStf*flg'"ft: oegThs te fade.

The food committee will do all in its power to urge increased production on Michigan farms , this year and to solve as far as possible the problems of getting farm workers and seed. Food Inspector Mickel sent in a communication telling that 120,000 calves of the age of four weeks had been slaughtered in Michigan last year, whose weight averaged 60 pounds. Were these calves allowed to attain the age of six months there would be an increase of 12,000,000 pounds of meat, he reported.

Washington.-—It was war night tn Washington, No one who was in the capltol city of his country on the night that President Wilson made his appeal to congress for a declaration of waron a country that has Invaded our rights ever will forget the scene. The night was black with clouds, although rain was absent No one of the thousands on the broad avenues approaching the capltol knew, however, that the sky was overcast Washington was ablaze with light and the glory of flags with their stars shining In the reflected glow of the brightness beneath. The great dome of the capltol rose marble white and beautiful above the city. A score of electric searchlights made shining its surface and brought clearly into the vision the form of the haloed Goddess of Liberty. For the first time in the history of this nation a president of the United States when going to congress to attend a legislative session was accompanied and guarded by an armed body of regular troops. There was a touch of war thus given to the scene before the president had opened his lips to address the lawmakers and to urge that authority be given him to arm the nation to defend the right. On other occasions In the past presidents of the United States have gone to the capltol with a guard of regular soldiery, but these occasions have been those of ceremony only, such a s inaugurations, or the funerals oi men great In the nation's history. President Wilson Is the first president of the United States to ask congress directly by word of mouth for a declaration of war. In other cases a transmitted message was depended upon to move the lawmakers to their duty. Mounted Troops Quard Capitol. The capltol was surrounded by mounted troops. There had been rumors all day that trouble might be expected. A pacifist out of sympathy with the Ideals of a great democracy had assaulted a aenator of the United States who from the first had stood for Americanism. There were crowds of pacifists la town, nine-tenths of whom were perfectly slacere in their belief that there i s nothing worse th^ a war and yet It w a s more than suspected that masquerading under the appearance of pacifism, were men, some few men, bent on evil. The guard of regular troops about the capltol was placed there not without belief In the sound Judgment of the act. Never In Washington, prior to the epochal night had anyone seen ambassadors and ministers pt foreign countries occupying-seats•'-oh the floor of congress as guests during a legislative session. When some American in high public place dies and is honored with a funeral o n the floor of senate or house, as has happened a number of times in the past the representatives of foreign countries are Invited to attend and to show their respect and honor for the dead. Never before, however, when congress was assembled in a- business session have these foreigners in official life been bidden to sit aide by side with the nation's lawmakers. . - - . . . - .

All the judges of the Supreme court were present in .the house on the memorable occasion. Where Is Uncle 8am to get officers capable of drilling, caring for and leading into battle the big army which this country will raise? This i s the question, aa the war department views t t which must l>e answered^ and the only way tt can be answered is by submitting things to a test and proper testing takes a long time. Will the men selected prove to be what they should be? There are none too many officers of regulars today t o perform the duties to which ther are assigned. There are the National Guard officers in addition, hut they wHl have their duties to perform with the federalised OmaroV There are the men who •**! get commissions because they have passed or wand the forces of th« United States, green men or mien who have received ut beat only primary instruction lu the art of war. The underatandtng Is today that there are some 10,000 or 12,000 men who have passed or who supposedly can pass the somewhat rigid examinations for commissions in the officers' reserve corps. The examinations for the reserve corps are sufficiently strict and comprehensive £o make 11 certain that no man who is not exceedingly intelligent and m6re than fairly we,ll Informed "can pass them. Thousands .Have . Offered. There will not be euough of these reserve corps candidates to meet' the government's, ^eed. .Xhaje Js a provision £f the law, section 53 of tha act apprqved June 3, 1916, which allows the age limit to be waived und makes provision for the appointment of commissioned officers who huve seen service or who hav« received military instruction In schools and who are past the age ordinarily fixed for commissions in the various grades. How many men over forty-five years of age the government will find physically fit for commissions it is hard to say, but It is known definitely that thousands of men who have commanded troops or who have served long enough either in the regular army or in the National Guard to enable them with slight additional instruction to enter the commissioned ranks, already have offered their services to the military authorities. The United States government can get plenty of men willing to be officers, but the question is whether they will be able to meet quickly the requirements of field duty. In other words, while the soldiers are being trained in foot movements, the manual of arms, extended order drill and battle maneuvers, will the newly appointed officers have time to acquire that knowledge of men and military affairs which is essential not only to the drilling and the disciplining of men, but to the taking care of them under aQ conditions of field work? This policy "will involve tUa immediate full equipment of the navy in all respects, but particularly in supplying it with the best means of dealing with the enemy's submarines." This statement In the president's address to congress, Washington thinks, was significant of great things that must be done, of real master strategy, of great operations of which perhaps the nonmilltary mind probably has no complete sense. In another place in his address to congress the president said that the practical duty of the United States would be : "To supply the nations already at war with Germany with the materials which they can obtain only from us or by our assistance. They are in the field and we should help tbem In every way to be effective there." The navy department has concerned itself with means to make effective these two plans to which Woodrow Wilson gave public consideration in his address and appeal to the lawmakers of the United States, Naval ofllcers realize the Intimate connection between the two extracts from the president's address here given. Our navy today Is charged In part with the duty of clearing the enemy's submarines from the depths and the surface of the waters. It is a huge Job., v ,.- . . Navy Tackles a B(0 Task. It'follows as a wake follows a torpedo, that i | the navy of the United States, added to the navies of Great Britain, and France, cannot clear the waters, ef. enemy submarines, the labor- of carrying out the secoud suggestion made in quotation *foiP toe: president's address, will be, so difficult o l accomplishment that the navy mind, if it were not a militant mind* might stagger at i t ' . _ " _ ; ,..;• ., Bfary dejiartment "of tjbi govern" meat today i s working to; fulfill the germs'of the president's yord.'tjp c6%- greas to the effect that they would submit measures .for^Jhe accomplish- , ment of the various war objects which he had maqtttpftd- Lpn*rof tpe main things to W ' d b w 'of course; is to prepare this country, and today there are material evidences that the work of industrial and of army and navy preparedness, so far as It affects supplies and means to obtain them, is well in band. This matter concerns Itself, according to the president not only with our own preparation, but with that for continuing to supply the allied nations of Europe with "the ma« tertal which they can obtain only from us or by our assistance" These materials for use abroad must be sent abroad. The naval experts are confronted with a problem which never, before the breaking out of the present war, faced any nation on earth. In fact the problem as it con* fronts the navy men is one of perplexing perils. The submarine i s . s factor in the problem which must be eliminated. » 3£3 hij t h a $ ^ t ^ e n t i /w^oj 4 ^ ^ Frost Proof Cabbage Plan -IT Jerter iind Charleston W l f l u DBtcSTaatorjlJ*; LQO0 b. here; pft»>aslfl. * * 9«r 1W. • ST POTATO PLASTO^Ji 1oje_JLfl&R_,&01L SUits o! the.

Pinckney, Livingston Oouqty, Michigan, Thursday, April 1:7th, 3917 AN APPRECIATION From the Pinckney 0. E. S Read Before the Chapter Friday, April 6th in the presence of these Bisters and brothers we wish to give tribute to our love and appreciation of our dear sister, Georgia VanWinkle. Though from our preaence ahe has rone yet she is cherished in our memory and will not ^e forgotten as the nilent wheels of time move swiftly through the coming years. The remembrance of her unsefish, faithful and loyal service will bring to us a greater love, a deeper sence of our vwn responsibility to our order, symbolized by the Star of Bethlehem. We realize that we.should not be altogether sorrowful although we will ook in vain for t'ie pleasant smile and :he genial clasp of the hand of our beloved sister. Faith breathes the prayer that in the ireat Beyond, that spirit world of sunshine and life eternal, that she rests in peace, happy in the knowledge that her life was of much avail; and that ner life so woven in and out with ours has added luster to the fraternity she oved and served so well, of which she became a Charter member in 1895. -In her passing, our loss is keenly felt not only by this order; by whom she was greatly loved, butbv a large circle af devoted friends. Georgia Reeves, daughter of George and Martha Allison Reeves was born in Pinckney, May 2, 1865 and passed to oer Heavenly Home March 18, 1917. She was united in marriage to Carey V. Van Winkle Nov. 22, 1890. Shortly *fter her birth, her father moved his r'amily to the farm now known as the KB the Van Winkle farm where she lived the greater share of her life,, moving to their present home in 1902. She ieaves to mourn, bet huebaud, three Fisters, Mrs. Edna Maxwell of Bay :ity, Mrs. Louise Brokaw and Mrs. Theresa Mann, a nephew, Geo. Mann, and a niece, Mrs. Kitsey Clark of Detroit; a step-son, Kirk VanWinkle and family and a brother's family of Lansing. The burial was held March 20th? under the auspices of the Order of the Eastern Star with interment in Pinckrey Cemetery. 1 Church, Optometrist Win be at the Pinckney hotel Saturday, Apr. 28.

The good-uutured man Is not only a blessing to himself, but to all with whom he comes in contact. He makes lile seem possible when the surroundings are thick with gloom and disappointments. He causes sunshine and cheer to enter into the dreary drudgery of everyday trials and difficulties. Ii he is the head of the firm he gets more from his men with a smile than he would with a grouch. He knows that keeping good-natured keeps him on ths high pedestal. Considered In^Hcnt Bad Omen. "Yesterday," le-M.rked the Old fccout, "I had iunc.V,on with my fresh young nephew. At the close of the meal he ordered a package of what I, being an old-fashioned man, call 'coffin nails,' and just as he did so a bellboy went through the dining room paging, •Mister Spikes, Mister Spikes!' I looked upon it as an omen of bad luck." Contented and Discontented. The man who is discontented merely finds fault with things as they are.

S, SEIZE INTERNED GERMAN VESSELS Adopts Joint Resolution That Places This Country In t^e Ranks of the Belligerents—Six Senators Vote Against Measure After Hot Debate—Great Majority in the House Favors the Action. Text of the joint resolution adopted by congress, declaring a state of war between the United States and Germany: "Whereas, The Imperial German government has committed repeated acts of war against the government and the people of the United States of America; therefore, be It "Resolved, by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America in congress assembled, That the state i/f vi-ar between the United States and the imperial German government which has thus been thrust upon the United States is hereby formally declared; and that the president be, and he is hereby, authorized and directed to employ the entire naval and military forces of the United States and the resources of the government to carry on war against the imperial German government; and to bring the conflict to a successful termination, all of the resources of the country are hereby pledged by the congress of the United States." Washington, April 6.—The United States is now formally enlisted among the belligerents in the great war, for congress has adopted the resolution declaring a state of war between this country and Germany, brought on by the imperial government's repeated hostile acts. The senate was the first to act on the war resolution and adopted it by a vote of 82 to 6. The six senators who voted against the resolution for war were : ASLE J. GRONNA, Republican, North Dakota. HARRY LANE, Democrat, Oregon. R. M. LA FOLLETTE, Republican, Wiscontln. O. W. N0RRI8, Republican, Nebraska. W I L L I A M J. 8 T 0 N E , Democrat, Missouri. J. K. VARDAMAN, Democrat, Mississippi. There were eight senators absent or paired. They were; Bankhead, Goff, Gore, Hollls, Newlands, Smith of Maryland, Thomas, and Tillman. Of those absent it was announced that all except Senator Gore of Oklahoma against the resolution were members would have voted for the resolution If present. All six of the senators who voted against the resolution were members of the group of twelve which defeated the armed neutrality bill at the last session. There was nd attempt to filibuster this time, however. Thirteen Hour Debate. Thirteen hours of heated debate preceded the vote. Party lines disappeared in this discussion and Republicans Joined with Democrats Ifr sounding the call to the nation to support the president unitedly. The little group opposed to the resolution drew Are from every side. .Senator La Follette, defending Germany and heaping blame upon England, was Informed by Senator Williams that Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, the German chancellor, would have made the same speech in the relchstag had he been Imbued with sufficient effrontery. Senator Norria, charging that the United States is going to war at the behest of the munition barons of Wail street drew from Senator Reed the retort that such an accusation is "almost treason." The assertion that the nation was going to war on the demand of gold, he said, was "an indictment of the president, of the United States, an indictment of c7ngresa>^pf the American peapie, and, of the truth." "The president Is not calling America to arms for the sake of a few paltry dollars," Senator Reed continued, %"but for the life, honor, and Integrity of this *»untry." Introduced by Hitchcock. Tn Introducing the resolution into the senate, Senator Hitchcock made a brief statement In which he said that the present time was one "for action, not discnaslon.M T h e time for discussion has pasted,M he said. "The president has stated dearly, affectively, more conclusively the reasons which make this grave step ne^asaavy* The raaotstfon the Imperial It places apaasrtilHty far tka war seaarely the shoulders of the German government, charged with repeated acts of war against the United States. "We want no more territory. We will detnand no indemnity. We have no grudge to settle, nor racial antipathy. Wre will spend our treasure and our blood and sacrifice oar lives without the thought of gain. We are going to war to vindicate our honor and independence fls a great natlou and in defense of humanity. "Such quarrel as we have with Germany is not of our choosing. It was forced upon us and we did much to avokl It. For nearly three years the i president, congress, and the American people have hoped to avoid it. But one desperate act by the imperial German government has followed another." German Pledges Broken. Senator Hitchcock wat followed by Senator Swanson of Virginia, who said the German government "has repeatedly and grossly violated Its treaty obligations to us, and wantonly broken solemn assurances." "The issue is not peace or war," Senator Swanson continued. "War has already been declared upon us. The issue is whether we shall accept war or abject and cowardly submission." Reciting the sinking of American ships, German plots, and outrages In this country, Senator Swanson said the Zlmmercnann plot to incite Mexico against this country "reaches the lowest depths of national turpitude." Many other senators took part in the debate, Gronna, Stone, Vardaman, Norris and LaFollette, all opposing the resolution. Senator Smoot made the last speech —a short prayer that God would "hasten the day when liberty will be enjoyed by all the peoples of the earth." The roll call was taken while the senators and spectators sat solemn. A few cheers greeted the result and then all filed quietly out of the chamber. House Vote, 373 to 50. The house, after a debate lasting about seventeen hours, adopted the joint resolution by a vote of 373 to 60. Nearly a hundred representatives made speeches. In offering the senate resolution as a substitute for Its own, the house foreign affairs committee submitted a long report reviewing the history of submarine warfare and America's futile" protests against It, German intrigues and bomb plots In this country, the effort to ally Japan and Mexico against the United States and the mistreatment of American officials and citizens in Germany. "It Is with the deepest sense of responsibility for the momentous results which will follow the passage of this resolution," said the report, "that your committee reports it to the house, with the recommendation that It be passed. "The conduct of the Imperial German government toward this government, Its citizens and Its interests, has been so discourteous, unjust, cruel, barbarous, and so lacking in honesty and practice that it has constituted a violation of the course of conduct which should obtain between friendly nations. "In addition to this the German government Is actually making war upon the people and commerce of this country, and leaves no course open to this government but to accept its gnge of battle and declare that a state of war exists." Flood Opens the Debate. Under the unanimous consent rule by which the resolution was considered Representative Flood could move the previous question at any time after one hour and, if sustained, bring the measure to a vote. He was disposed, however, to give members every opportunity to speak throughout the day. The debate began without any limitation. * "War la being made upon our country and its people,'* Representative Flood said in opening. "Our ships are being sunk. Our noncombatant dtisens, including men, women and children, are being murdered, our merchantmen are denied the freedom of the seas. There is no choice as to our course. We are compelled by the acts of the German government to enter In? to this most colossal war. "We should take our stand "By the side of the allied nations who have been fighting humanity's battles for two and one-half years, determined that our power shall be so employed that complete victory shall crown their eaVcts and that Prnaataa mffltarlani shall be crashed and the world steal a* delivered front the threat and of the Authorities Take Over Ships That Have Long Been Held in American Ports. TOTAL VALUE IS ENORMOUS Some of the Finest Ships Afloat Are Among Those Taken—Ellis Island Receives Officers and Crews of Those in New York Waters. New York, April 6.—Germany's $51,- 800,000 mercantile fleet, which had been interned here since the outbreak of the war, was seized by the United States only a few hours after congress passed the resolution declaring a state of war. There were 27 passenger liners, freighters and sailing ships In the fleet, among them the Vaterlund, one of the largest aud finest passenger liners in the world. The German officers and crews, numbering more than 3,000 men, were taken to Ellis island for internment. It was learned that the machinery on some of the ships was~ smashed. United States naval men will make a thorough examination of the vessels to determine the exact extent of the damage. The ships seized in this port aggregated 304,000 tons. Eleven of them displaced more than 10,000 tons. The mighty Vaterland is a leviathan of 51,2S4 tons and cost $7,500,000. The Geiman officers and sailors on the ships made no resistance when the United States officials went on board. Nor did they murmur when told to prepare to go to the immigration station at Ellis Island. A whole fleet of customs boats swarmed in the Hudson collecting the Germans.

Remember the "dose" mother insisted on—castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them. With our children it's different Mothers who ellng to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is well-founded. Their tender little "insides" are injured by them. If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only delicious "California Syrup of Figs." Its action Is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless "fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take it; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomorrow. Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on each bottle. Adv. The National Tiger. During the French revolution, in 1789, the proprietor of a menagerie in Paris bad among his collection a Bengal tiger, one of the largest species, usually known as the royal tiger. As royalty and everything pertaining thereto was abolished, he was afraid he might be accused of a want of patriotism, and, therefore, had the following inscription posted outside his establishment: "Walk In and See the National Tiger."

Then followed a brief explanation of the reason why the offending tonsils should he attended to again. "Who did this work?" asked the doctor, his face assuming a keenly professional air as though he must know who had been thus derelict in his profession. "You did." said the mother with a smile.

AMOUNT TO $1*194,081.29 Of the Total Over »500,000 Goes to Counties Where Fee* Originated— Balance to Highway Dept. (Prom Our Special Correspondent) • Lansing. During the first three months of this year the state collected $1,194,081.29 in automobile license fees, the largest quarterly receipts in the history of the state. Of this total $17,019.85 was in special fees, while the balance waa regular. Adding the money collected for 1917 liecnses during the months of November and December, 1916, the total to April 1 for. the 1917 licenses amounts to $1,377,666.86. An apportionment between the counties of origin will be made of what has been collected so far this year by the auditor general and the state treasurer in a few days. Of the total, $588,430.53 will go to the counties and the balance to the state highway department. The counties get no share of the special fees, which accounts for the fact that their share is not the exact one-half of the amount collected. Special fees consist of licenses for chauffeurs, manufacturers and dealers' duplicate plates, lost or destroyed duplicate plates, and non-resident licenses. Up to the present there have been 135,000 1917 licenses Issued as compared with 160,000 for the whole of 1916. The total fees in 1916 were $1,- 739,343. In addition to ths regular licenses there have been Issued so far this year 7,500 chauffeurs' licenses, 3,300 for motorcycles, and 722 for manufacturers and dealers. Liquor Committee Gets Busy. The senate liquor committee finally has taken action on the bills to enforce prohibition in Michigan after May 1, 1918. Its program is to kill off the McArthur "bone dry" bill, replace it with the Damon "bone dry" bill and report out with the Damon bill the Wiley and Lewis bills. The two latter measures provided for the enforcement of- prohibition in Michigan, the Wiley bill by describing for whal purposes liqu <r may be used under the constitutional amendment and the Lewis bill by giving the food and drug department the enforcement of the laws pertaining to liquor after the state enters the dry column. Substitution of the Damon bill for the McArthur bill is ascribed to the fact that the senate measure is more brief than that which passed the house. But capitol gossip gives one of the reasons as a determination not to allow Rep. McArthur the entire limelight afforded by "bone dryness." Sleeper Urgee New War Board. Historic occasions are not neceauarily nolBy or exciting as far as outward appearances go. Not since the days of the Civil war has there been a legislative session in Michigan so fraught with serious possibilities a* that held when the legislators reassembled after the spring ejection. The nation had come to the brink of war; the president had called upon congress to declare war, since the legislators had last met Governor Sleeper sent in a message informing the lawmakers of the na-. tional peril and declaring that Michigan should step forth as in '61 and play a leader's part in the nation. Bills went in to both houses to allow the state to borrow $5,000,000 to equip its soldiers and sailors and offer them to the nation. Both,, houses suspended the rules and placed the bills in committee of the whole instead of with the military committees of each. Both houses then adopted resolutions informing the governor that they will back him up in every needed way, including a pledge to pass the $5,000,- 000 loan bills. • The bills, introduced In the senate by Senator Foster and in the house by Representative Peterman, provide for the formation of a war preparedness board to act with the governor. The board is to include Attorney General Groeebeck, Auditor General Fuller, Secretary of State Vaughan, State Treasurer Odell and Supt. of Public Instruction Keeler. The bills instruct the governor and state treasurer to borrow $5,000,000, giving notes or bonds of $100 each, redeemable in five to ten years, and paying 5 per cent interest, semi-annually. A special tax levy of $500,000 a year, to furnish a sinking fund, also is provided. The purposes for which the money is to be used are: For recruiting soldiers and sailors in Michigan; for the care of dependents left behind by enlisted men; for the maintenance of mobilization camps; for the equipment of officers and men; for a beneficiary fund for men killed or disabled; for the organization of a home defense unit; for a training school for officers; for auxiliary relief work and for other purposes which the governor considers necessary for public defense. The senate put through the Culver bill to bring the state guard to the standard required by the federal statutes and the house lifted another Culver bill from the bottom of the list and sent it on to third reading that provides for the equipment and maintenance of the naval militia. All of this was done in brief time and wihout a word of argument or an effort at oratory.

The house judiciary committee held a heated hearing on the municipal courts bill, which some Detroit speakers characterized as a "ripper" bill, and then decided to take its time about acting upon it. This bill had the backing of the attorney general, but got a setback when Judge Edward J. Jeffries, Just re-elected judge of the recorder's court in Detroit, declared to the committee that he had been given assurance of an appointment to the new court if he would give an interview favoring its creation by the legislature. Jeffries, in his talk to tbe committee, opposed the bill as a political measure designed to aid some Detroit politicians and not to improve the court system of Michigan. Knew What Dad Would Say. Jack, the three-year-old brother of the new and historic Hellefontaine Avenue twins, has taken up his dad'H burden in a remarkable manner, considering hi.s years.

"And how about little brother Bob— may I have him, too?" Jack said sure. "Well, what would papa Bay when he came home and found them gone?" "Oh," said Jack, "he'd say, 'You're very we'eome.'

Why?" "Are you rich enough to go to Hades?" Quick Action on Wsr Bond Issue. Preliminary action on the issuance of $5,000,000 worth of bonds by the state to finance the raising of military support for the nation, was had last week without delay in either house. The bills were passed in committee of the whole both in the house and in the senate. They were amend* ed so as to make the bonds run for 20 years and pay 4 per cent interest, with $250,000 a year allowed for a sinking fund. Compensation Act Amended. The DeLand bill to amend the workmen's compensation act so that a man engaged in a seasonal occupation, where he works but part of the year, will be paid on the baals of his earnings at the time of an accident which incapacitates him, has paased both houses. The law fixes compensation on the basis of the average weekly wage and the DeLand amendment prorides that the weekly wage shall be found by multiplying the dally wage by 300 and then diridinig by 52. The bill now goes to ths governor. SICK MAfiETS" Gently cleanse your liver and sluggish bowels while you sleep. Get a 10-cent box. Sick headache, biliousness, dizziness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul breath—always trace them to torpid liver; delayed, fermenting food In the bowels or sour, gassy stomach. Poisonous matter clogged in the InteBtlnes, instead of being cast out of the system is re-absorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes congestion and that dull, throbbing, sickening headache. Cascarets immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, undigested food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels. A Caacaret to-night will surely straighten you out by morning.

"No, I'm too old to go rampagin' after new gods. I ain't got the imagination to raise anything more complicated than a mortgage; but if I was younger, I'd organize myself up and do away with that Ed Austin. I'd sure help him to an untimely end, and then I'd marry them pecan groves, and blooded herds, and drug-store orchards. She certainly is a heart-breakln' device, with her red hair, and red lips an— "Father!" Paloma was deeply shocked. Complete isolation, of course, Alaire had found to be impossible, even though her ranch lay far from the traveled roads and her Mexican guards were not encouraging to visitors. Business inevitably brought her into contact with a considerable number of people, and of these the one she saw most frequently was Judge Ellsworth of Brownsville, her attorney. It was perhaps a week after Ed had left for San Antonio that Alaire felt the need of Ellsworth's counsel, and sent for him. Ellsworth was a kindly man of fifty-five, with a forceful chin and a drooping, heavy-lidded eye that could either blaze or twinkle. Judge Ellsworth knew more than any four men in that part of Texas; Information had a way of seeking him out. He was a good lawyer, too, and yet his knowledge of human nature he considered far more Important than law. His mind was like a full granary, and every grain lay where he could put his hand upon It. He motored out from Brownsville, and after ridding himself of dust, Insisted upon spending the interval before dinner In an Inspection of Alalre's latest ranch improvements. Not until dinner was over did he inquire, the reason for his summons. "It's about La Feria. General Longorio has confiscated my stock," Alaire told him. "I was afraid of this very thing, and so I was preparing to bring the stock over. Still—I never thought they'd actually confiscate It." "Hasn't Ed done enough to provoke confiscation?" asked the judge. "I have It pretty straight that-he's giving money to the rebel junta and lending every assistance he can to their cause." "I didn't know he'd actually done anything. How mad !" "Yes—for a man with interests in federal territory. But Ed always does the wrong thing, you know." "Then I presume this confiscation is In the nature of a reprisal. But the stock Is mine, not Ed's. I want your help In taking up the matter with 'Washington." , • Ellsworth was pessimistic. "It won't do any good, my dear," he said. ""You won't be paid for your cattle," •Then I shall go to La Feria." "No!" The Judge shook his head decidedly. "I've been there a hundred times. .The federals have been more than courteous." "Longorio has a bad reputation. I utroiigly advise against your going. .Tou'd better send some man." "Whom can I send?" asked Alaire. "Xou know my situation.* The judge considered a moment before replying. "I can't go, for Tm busy In court. Yon could probably accomplish more than anybody else. If Ixmgorio will listen to reason, an<t after alL you are a person of such Importance that I dare say you'd be safe. *But It will Be a hard trip, and you won't knaw whether you are In rebel or In federal territory." "Well, people here are asking whether Texas is In the United States or Mexico," Alaire said, lightly. "Sometimes I hardly know." After a moment She continued: "Since you know everything and everybody, T wonder If yon ever met a David Law?" Ellsworth nodded. "Tell me something about him." "He asked me the same thing about yon. Well, I haven't seen much of P a r e since b* grew up. he's such a roamer." • H e said his parents were murdered by the Goadatapea," "YOL It happened a good many years ago, and certainly they both met a ilotawt and.

"I have never known you to damn a friend or a clienr with such faint praise." said Alaire. "Oh, I don't mean it that way. I'm almost like one of Dave's kin, and I've been keenly interested in watching his traits develop. I'm Interested in heredity. I've watched it in Ed's case, for instance. If you know the parents it's easy to read their children." Again he lapsed into silence, nodding to himself. "Yes, nature mixes her prescriptions like any druggist. J'm glad you and Ed—have no babies." Alaire murmured something unintelligible. CHAPTER V. A Journey, and a Dark Man. Alalre's preparations for the journey to La Feria were made with little delay. Owing to the condition of affairs across the border, Ellsworth had thought it well to provide her with letters from the most influential Mexicans in the neighborhood; what is more, in order to pave her way toward a settlement of her claim he succeeded In getting a telegram through to Mexico City—Ellsworth's Influence was not bounded by the Rio Grande. Alaire took Dolores with her, and for male escort she selected, after some deliberation, Jose Sanchez, her horsebreaker. Benito could not well be spared. Sanchez had some force and Initiative, at least and Alaire had no reason to doubt his loyalty. The party went to Pueblo by motor. On the following day, Alaire secured her passports from the federal headquarters across the Rio Grande, while Jose attended to the railroad tickets. On the second morning after leaving home the party was borne southward Into Mexico, The revolution had ravaged moat of northern Mexico; long rows of rusting trucks and twisted car skeletons beside the track showed how the railway's rolling stock had suffered In this particular vicinity; and as the train penetrated farther south temporary trestles and the charred ruins of station houses spoke even more eloquently of the struggle. Now and then a steel water tank, pierced with loopholes and ripped by cannon balls, Bhowed where some detachment had made a stand. There was a military guard on the train, too—a dozen unkempt soldiers loaded down with rifles and bandoliers of cartridges, and several officers, neatly dressed In khaki, who rode In the firstclass conch and occupied themselves by making eyes at the women. At its frequent stops the train was besieged by the customary crowd of curious peons; the same nolay hucksters dealt out enchiladas, tortillas, goat cheeses and coffee from the same dirty baskets and pails; even their outstretched hands seemed to bear the familiar grime of ante-bellum days. The coaches were crowded; women fanned themselves unceasingly; their men snored, open-mouthed, over the backs of the seats, and the aisles were full of squalling, squabbling children. As for the country Itself, It was dying. The ranches were stripped of stock, no carts creaked along the hlgb> ways, and the roads, like the little farms, were growing up to weed*. Stores were empty, the people were Idle. Over all was an atmosphere of decay, and, what was far more significant the people seemed content All morning the monotonous journey continued—a trial to Alaire and Dolores, but to Jose Benches a red-letter experience. He covered the train from end to end, making himself acquainted with everyone and bringing to Alaire the gossip that he picked up. It was not until midday that the first interruption occurred; then the train pulled in upon a siding, and after an interminable delay it transpired that a northbound troop-train was expected. Jose brought this intelligence: "Soon you will behold the flower of the Mexican army," he told Alaire. ••You will see thousands of Longorto's veteran*, every man .of them a vary devil for blood. They are returning to Nuevo' Pueblo after destroying a band of those rebels. They bad a great victory at San Pedro—thirty kilometers from La Feria. Not a prisoner was spared, senora." "Is General Longorio with them?" Alaire Inquired quickly. "That is what I came to tell yon. It Is believed that be Is, for he takes l i t army with him naawTor be He Is a great i f b t v t 1st baa a for it, that man, and he strikes like the lightning — here, there, anywhere." Jose, it seemed, was a rabid Potoslsta. "When the train arrives," she told her horse-breaker. "I want you to find General Longorio and ask him to come here." "But, senora 1" Jose was dumfounded, shocked. "He Is a great general—" "Give him this note." Quickly writing a few lines on a page from her notebook, she gave him the scrap of paper, which he carefully placed In his hat; then, shaking his head doubtfully, he left the car. Flushed with triumph, Dolores took the first occasion to enlarge ppon her theme. "You will see what a monster this Longorio Is," she declared. "It was like him to steal your beautiful cattle; he would steal a crucifix." •Tve heard that," Alaire said gravely. In the course of time the military train came creaking along on the main track and stopped, to the great Interest of the south-bound travelers. It was made up of many stock -cars crowded with cavalry horses, and penned in with them were the- women and the children. The soldiers themselves were clustered thickly upon the car roofs. Far down at the rear of the train was a rickety passenger coach, and toward this Jose Sanchez made his way. There began a noisy interchange of greetings between the occupants of the two trains, and meanwhile the hot sun glared balefully upon the huddled figures on the car tops. A half-hour passed, then occurred a commotion at the forward end of Alalre's coach. A group of officers climbed aboard, and among them was one who could be none other than Luis Longorio. As he came down the passageway Alaire identified him without the aid of his insignia, for he stood head and shoulders above his companions and bore himself with an air of authority. He was unusually tall, at least six feet three, and very slim, very lithe; a young man; his cheeks were girlishly smooth and of a clear, pale, olive tint; his eyes were large, bold, brilliant; his nostrils thin and sensitive, like those of a blooded horse. Disdain, hauteur, Impatience, were stamped upon the general's countenance as he pushed briskly through the crowd, turning his head from side to side In search of the woman who had summoned him. Not until she rose did he discover Alaire; then he halted; hts eyes fixed themselves upon her with a start of startled amazement. Alaire felt herself color faintly, for the man seemed to be scanning her from head to foot, taking in every detail of her face and form, and as he did so his expression remained unaltered. For what seemed a full minute Longorio stood rooted; then the stiffvizored cap was swept from his head; he bowed with the grace of a courtier until Alaire saw the part In his oily black hair. "Senora 1 A thousand apologies for my delay," he said. "Caramba 1 I did not dream—I did not understand your message." He continued to regard her with that same queer intensity. "You are General Longorio r Alaire was surprised to note that her voice quavered uncertainly, and annoyed to feel her face still flushing," "Your obedient servant" Longorio, with a brusque command, routed out the occupants of the seat ahead, and, reversing the back, took a position facing Alaire. Another order and the men who had accompanied him withdrew up the aisle. There was no mistaking his admiration. He seemed enchanted by her pale beauty, her rich, red hair held him fascinated, and with Latin boldness he made his feelings crassly manifest. "You probably know why 1 wished to see you," Alaire began. Longorio shook his head in vague denial. "It Is regarding my ranch. La Feria." Seeing that the name conveyed nothing, she explained, "I am told that your army confiscated my cattle."

No ordinary man could fittingly have worn such an ornament, yet on the hand of this splendid barbarian it seemed not at all out of keeping. *Dlos!" Longorio conUnued. "Your ranch has been destroyed; your cattle stolen, eh? We will shoot the perpetrators of this outrage at once. Bueno!" "No, no! I don't want to see anyone punished. I merely want your government to pay me for my cattle." Alaire laughed nervously. "Ah I But a lady of refinement should never discuss such a miserable business. It Is a matter for men." She endeavored to speak in a brisk, businesslike tone. "La Feria belongs to me. I am a woman of affairs, General Longorio, and you must talk to me as you would talk to a man. When I heard about this raid I came to look into it—to see you, or whoever Is in charge of this district, and to make a claim for damages." "Valgame Dlos! This Is amazing." "There is nothing extraordinary about It, that 1 can see." "You consider such a woman as yourself ordinary? The men of my country enshrine beauty and worship it. They do not discuss such things with their women. Now this sordid affair is something for your husband—" "Mr. Austin's business occupies his time; this is my own concern. I am not the only practical woman in Texas." Longorio appeared to be laboriously digesting this statement. "So!" he said at last. "When you heard of this—you came, eh? You came alone Into Mexico, where we are fighting and killing each other? Weill That is spirit. You are wonderful, superb!" He smiled, showing the whitest and evenest teeth. Such extravagant homage was embarrassing, yet no woman could be wholly displeased by admiration so spontaneous and intense as that which Longorio manifested in every look and word. Alaire knew the susceptibility of Mexican men, and was Immune to ordinary flattery; yet there was something exciting about this martial hero's complete captivation. To have charmed him to the point of bewilderment was a unique-triumph, and under his hungry eyes she felt an adventurous thrill. While he and Alaire were talking the passengers had returned to their seats; they were shouting good-byB to the soldiers opposite; the conductor approached and Informed the general of his train orders. Longorio favored him with a slow stare. "You may go when I leave," said he. "SI, senor. But—" The general uttered a sharp exclamation of anger, at which the conductor backed away, expressing by voice and gesture his most hearty approval of" the change of plan. "We mustn't hold the train," Alaire said quickly. "I will arrange to see you in Nuevo Pueblo when I return." Longorio smiled brilliantly and lifted a brown hand. "No, nol 1 am a selfish man; I refuse to deprive myself of this pleasure. Now about these cattle." He thought for a moment, and his tone altered as he said: "Senora, there seems to be an unhappy complication in our way, and this we must remove. First, may I ask, are you a friend to our cause?" "I am an American, but what has^ that to do with my ranch and my cattle? This is something that concerns no one except you and me." Longorio was plainly flattered by her words, and took no trouble to hide his pleasure. "Ah! If that were only true! We would arrange everything to your satisfaction without another word." His admiring gase seemed to envelop her, and its warmth was unmistakable.

Previous articles have dealt with the necessity of producing extra quantities of foods to feed the world during this stress of high consumption and paucity of production. Instead of the condition improving It is growing •worse, and unless drastic and immediate action is taken, prices will continue to climb higher. It is hoped by the Canadian government that by offering extra inducements to secure a homestead of 160 acres of excellent land in the hoinesteading areas of Western Canada, with the combined effort of the farmer in extraordinary preparation of tillage and bigger wages than ever, that Western Canada, with the assistance of a Divine Providence, may produce a greater number of million acres of wheat than ever in the past\ The farm laborer can now secure n homestead on easier conditions than ever before. All the time that he works for a Western Canadian farmer during 1917, after he makes his entry or filing will count as residence on his homestead for that year, leaving him but two additional years' residence, before getting title to a piece of land that should then be easily worth $1,600. The response to this offer has been wonderful, and hundreds have already taken advantage of It. The climate of Western Canada is one that breeds energy, instils life and buoyancy, jind with the soil that the <ountry possesses, no greater asset could be desired. The country Is past the pioneering stage; its ability to grow all the smaller grains better than any other portion of the continent has been proven so often that it seems a waste of time to speak of it. The high name that has been given the country In the splendid class of live stock that it raises, has placed^U In the h'gh column with the best states of the Union. And then social conditions, something that every housewife asks about, fire as nearly perfect as could be wished for. Thousands of miles of telephone line connect the remotest hamlet with the principal cities of the country and continent, miles of excellent graded roads, as well as the perfect natural roads of the prairie, make driving and hauling easy. Grldironed as these provinces are with railway lines bring the farm near to Atlantic or Pacific, or United States markets, rural trmil delivery brings the settler still closer to the homes abroad. Ttural and consolidated schools everywhere are easy adjuncts to the colleger and •anlreirslties, which are said to be among the best on the continent. Taxation is light, and only applied on the farm land, cattle, implements, etc., on the farm being exempt. Many fanners, having realized sufficient from one crop of wheat to pay for their entire farm holdings, have installed fhelr own electric light and beating plants, have their automobiles and many luxuries they would not have possessed on their old home abroad. Life Is comfortable and existence enjoyable in Western Canada. In no country is there a greater percentage of contented farmers, and in no part of the continent is farming easier or more profitable. • Land there will produce 30 bushels of wheat to the acre, while there are many eases where the yield was higher, as high as 70 bushels. What this means to the farm laborer does not fully appear on the surface He will get gop/1 wages, he can secure a homestead worth at the end of three years about $1,000, while working for wages he can put in residence duties, and can also look around, and And a good location. Besides the homesteading attraction of Western Canada, there remains the other fact that other lands can be purchased at from $15 to $30, while Improved farms may be had at reasonable figures. The desire to have a piece of land of one's own is a natural Instinct In the heart of every properly developed man and woman. In earlier years, on account of the great areas of land available In the United States, no irreat difficulty was experienced by any ambitions settler of that country who Swished to become his own landholder, but the rapid Increase in population, combined with the corresponding rise In the price of land, has completely changed this condition. Land, which a generation ago might be had for the homesteading, now commands prices ranging to $100 an acre and over. At such prices it is quite hopeless for the tenant fanner or the fanner's son in moderate circumstances, or the dry man with limited capital, to attempt to buy a farm of his own. To pay for it becomes a life-long task, and the probability is that be will never do more than meet the interest charges. If he U serious to kit desire to secure a farm home, he must look to countries where that* hi still abundant fertile land available currency, weights and measures, etc., based ou the same principles as those with which he is familiar. He wants a country where he can buy land from $10.09 to $30,000 an acre, which will produce as big or bigger crops as those he has been accustomed to from lands at $100-.00 an acre. He wants this Ijind where social conditions will be attractive to himself and his family, and where he can look forward with confidence to being In a few years independent, and well started on the road to financial success. All these conditions he will find in Western Canada, and nowhere else. The provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, commonly called "Western Canada," provide the one and only answer to the land-hungry. The land is here; it is the kind of land he wants; the conditions are as nearly ideal as is possible, and the prices and terms are such that the man of moderate capital has an opportunity not available to him elsewhere.— Advertisement. AUSTRIAN SHIPS ARE SEIZED BY U. S. FIFTEEN MERCHANT VESSEL? INTERNED IN AMERICAN PORTS T A K E N . AMBASSADOR IS RECALLED Tclegrama Prepared in Advance lir Anticipation of Break Sent to Repaentative In Austria. NAME NOT OF GERMAN ORIGIN Former Appellation of Russian Capital Shown to Have Been of Dutch Rather Than Teuton Significance. As everybody knows, the Czar of all the Russias changed the name of St. Petersburg to Petrograd soon after the beginning of the present war. And the reason for making the change—so the world was given to understand— was the Teutonic significance of the syllable, "burg." That the syllable had this significance seemed plausible to those who remembered that Peter the Great, the founder of the city, was on friendly relations with the Germans, from whom he learned gunnery in Koenigsberg, and doubtless many things he wanted to know. The Encyclopedia Brltnnnica, however, in a historical sketch of this singular city, makes it plain that the offending syllable originally had Dutch, rather than German significance. "In 1700," says the Brltnnnica, '"Peter the Great' began his wars with Sweden. Oryeshek was taken in 1702 and In the following year the Swedish fortress on the Neva. Two months later (twenty-ninth June, 1708) Pefc?r laid the foundations of a cathedral to St. Peter and St. Paul, and of a fort which received his own name (in its Dutch transcription. 'Piterburgh'). Next year the fort of Kronslott was erected on the Island of Kotlln, as also the Admiralty on the Neva, opposite the fortress. "The emperor took most severe and I almost barbarous measures for increasing his newly founded city, which was built on marshy ground, the buildings resting on piles. Thousands of people from all parts of Russia were removed thither and died in erecting the fortress and building the houses." The Modern 8hepherd. Now an American shepherd rides an airplane in looking after his large flocks of sheep. He says he can cover five times as much territory in a day with a flying machine as an automobile driver without regard for rough places and speed in.looking after his business. The change emphasizes two important points. An American is the first shepherd to fly over his flocks, in contrast with the Blow methods of the shepherds of the old world, who have afforded much material for the poets And the makers of pictures. And it-means that aheepkeeping pays. The aerial sherpherd Is J. Stanley Smith of Martinsdale, Mont., and he has more sheep than any man has personal use for, nearly 100,000 of them, and he employs many men and dogs to take care of the wool growers. All these need superintending, and the owning shepherd has been driving over the hills for some years in his motorcar for that purpose. Now he has enlarged his flocks and his pasturing area so much that he must fly to look after the business. Some men still believe there Is no money in sheepkeeping in this country, and millions of words of encouragement are pnt ont for them annually by the federal government and the newspapers. The one flyer has them all beaten to a standstill, and is getting so rich that he may have a wireless boat to ride In before long,— Worcester (Mass.) Telegram. Washington- Austria-Hungary, ranging herself unreservedly with Germany, has severed diplomatic relations with the United States. Baron Erich Zwiedinek, the Austrian charge, asked the state department for passports for himself, his staff and the Austrian consular force in this country; and simultaneously American Minister Stovall reported from Berne that Austria had announced the break In relations to the American embassy in Vienna. Immediately the treasury department ordered the seizure of 15 Austrian merchant ships in American harbors. Austrian crews were taken off and sent to immigration stations and American guards put on board. Telegrams prepared a week ago in anticipation of this development, were sent to American diplomatic and consular officials abroad instructing them to wind up their conduct of Entente interests in Austria and fo Austrian interests in Entente countries. Spain has taken over American interests in Austria, and Sweden assumes Austrian interests here. The Austrian vessels taken were at Atlantic or gulf ports, as follows: At New York, the Dora, Himalala, Ida and Martha Washington; at Boston, the Erny; at Philadelphia, the Pranconia; at Newport News, the Budapest; at Pensacola, the Lucia; at Tampa, the Borneo; at New Orleans, the Anna Clara and Teresa, and at Galveston, the Campania and Morawitz. The tonnage of the vessels totals approximately 67,000. The largest is the Martha Washington at New York, of 8,312 tons and passenger accommodations for 1,100 persons; the smallest is the Anna at New Orleans, of 1,575 tons. The second largest is the Dora, of 7,037 tons, MOBI of the others are between 3,500 and 5,000 tons register and are freighters., All have been self-interned Bince the beginning of the war. W. L.

The best way to combat this premature age and the obstruction to the arteries and faulty circulation is of the simplest: Drink copiously of pure water between meals. Thia will not make you fat, as it is only the water taken with the meals that fattens.
