Most of my stock harnefcs, Uhpttesieiite, etc., were bottght at sales, all "on time," necessarily. The buildings on the place were about as good as nothing and had either to be rebuilt or replaced entirely. There were 26 acres broken, and very" badly farmed, bringing poor returns the first year." After mentioning a number of mischances, he says : "In spite of all these drawbacks, I have done well. I consider my farm worth $3,500 to $4,000. I have four head of horses, 12 of cattle, over 400 purebred Buff Orpington chickens and 125 turkeys, besides Implements, harness, etc, to run my place. I have a well 170 feet deep with an inexhaustible supply of water. The well with pump cost me $400. I have built a $125 chicken house and put up nearly $50 worth of poultry fencing; have built root cellars to hold over 3,000 bushels of potatoes and other vegetables. As to income, I raise about ten acres of garden and roots annually which net from $000 to $1,000 total. I generally sell from 20 to 40 tons timothy hay which brings from $6 to $14 per ton. My grain is. most all used on the farm except a few hundred bushels sold to the neighbors for seed. My four milk cows bring in from $50 to $80 each (counting calf). Last year 80 hens laid 600 dozen eggs which averaged more than 25 cents a dozen (I always wrork for winter egg production). The surplus hens were sold in spring, dressed at $1 each. My turkeys average $2.50 each in fall. By having vegetables to feed my young cattle, the two-year-old steers bring $75 each In spring."—Advertisement. Legislature Had Decided to Inquire Jnto Coat of.

By a resolution calling for an inquiry into the cost of the production of sugar beets, the prices paid. for th«m and the percentage t>f "-profits mad* by growers and by manufacturers, Rep. Sheridan Ford, of Detroit, stirred up a lot of excitement in the legislature last week. Ford acted in behalf of members of the growers' association and the grange. Within a few hours the manufacturers yielded to the growers on every point at issue. Sensational charges by Ford that the "sugar barons" of the state had stirred up a formidable lobby which was doing its utmost to delay action on his resolution so as to be able to stifle it later, added to the interest aroused. Ford's oratory and the solid backing of farmer legislators swept away all opposition In the house and the resolution was adopted under suspension of the rules. The Detroiter declared that beet sugar growers were not getting a square deal on prices, which, in Michigan, were below even the European standard, he charged. "The hour has passed for men to sit back and make fortunes with pen or pencil and a piece of paper," he said. "The producers' Interests must be considered." Shortly after the house adopted the resolution a conference was called in Governor Sleeper's office. The governor urged that in view of the international situation production of all kinds should be encouraged, not hampered. The manufacturers then agreed to pay the prices which John C. Ketcham, acting for the growers, suggested. These are $6 a ton for beets used to make 6c sugar; $7 for 6 cent beets, and $8 for 7 cent beets. Contracts already made will be lifted to those prices, which are an increase of $1 a ton. An English scientist has succeeded in obtaining seven gallons of file! ol? from a tone of seaweed.

Adr. According to the city child's idea, la something yon hare to keep Bad Egg Bill a Boomerang. One of the odd incidents that crop out occasionally in the course of a legislative session occurred the other day in the senate. Senator Penney, of Saginaw, had introduced a bill to prohibit the sale of eggs that are unfit for food. The senate passed the bill in committee of the whole and also on third reading. It was about to go to the house when Senator Scully asked for a reconsideration. Scully had discovered that according to the rules of grammar a.strict reading of the bill and a careful following of the number of "nots" showed it provided that only rotten eggs could be offered for salo in Michigan, while fresh eggs were barred from market The -bill was hastily pulled back by the senators and will be re- •amped;to-- say whit it is Intended to mean, i j , |j Tne last time such a "bull" occurred in the legislature was in the 1911 session when a bill actually reached the governor: that ; provided that only thieves, thugs and villains could practice law in Michigan. ?TrrrW-Ory B i l l * Pass In House. The first stage ot the enactment of prohibition laws for Michigan was paaaed ia#t week when the house of representatives adopted the Wiley, McArthur and Lewis bills one after the oibttr, taking up allrthree In special order. The Wiley bill provide*;th# naachin-* ery for the enforcement of the dry laws and the ways in which liquors can be handled la ihe state for medicinal, mechanical, scientific, chemical and sacramental purposes, the five purpos*> a exempted in the constitutional amendment voted for by the people last November. Search and seizure are provided for by the Wiley bill, but private dwellings used only as such are exempted from search. Possession of liquors is not. touched upon in the Wiley measure. The McArthur, or bone dry bill, prohibits possession* of intoxicating liquors except for the five exempted purposes. It absolutely prohibits the possession of or obtaining of any liquors for beverage purposes. The Lewis bill changes the name of the dairy and food commission to food and drug commission, places the enforcement of the prohibition Laws in the food and drug commission's hands, extends the term of the commissioner from two to four years and increases his salary from $2,000 to $3,500 a year. The house adopted the Wiley bill by a vote-of 96 to 0. Rep. Sheridan Ford, of Detroit, explained his vote of "yes" by declaring that he is a liberal, but holds to the view that the best cure for sumptuary legislation is sumptuary legislation itself. The McArthur bill was adopted by a vote of 88 to 10, the negative, votes being cast by Reps. Edwards, Griggs, Harris, Houghton, Lamphere, Lemire, Nelson, Petermann, Read and Stevenson. All ten sighed a statement that they opposed the bill because they believed the Webb-Kenyon and Reed laws passed by congress made such a bill as the McArthur bill unnecessary. Rep. McArthur replied that the federal laws neither touch on possession of liquors In a dry state nor on their being brought in personally by those who want them, only for bidding shipments in inter, state traffic. The Lewis bill passed the house by a vote of 87 to 12, the negative votes being cast by Reps. Bosch, Daprato, Sheridan Ford, Fox, FTost, Houghton, Jones, Lemire, Nelson, M. H. Smith, S. J. Smith, and Upham. Sheridan Ford stated that he believed the present police power of the state adequate to handle the enforcement of the prohibition laws. Rep. Young said he had voted for all three bills, but believed them to be too long and apt to start too much litigation in conse/ quence. w^^wwwvwuvwVwWvwv^ Michigan News Tersely Told Hard Battle Over Prison Bill. There was a hard battle in the house before that body adopted bills to appropriate money for additional farm lands at Jackson prison and for the extension of the county Jail farm idea. For county prisoners the farm bill was amended to include workshops and factories" so that farmers will not be the only ones to have prison competition" as Rep, Root put it. 8en«te Adopts New Insurance Code. The senate has adopted, with a few amendments, the Scully-Person bill, as the new insurance code is entitled. The code is a revision of all the present laws of the state covering insurance of all kinds. Two principal amendments were made by the senate.

M. BENNINGTON. Mark for attention next season, or this fall, such plants as seem to be a trifle "off" in health. Old clumps of perennials—phlox, anthemlg, aquilegla, dicentra and many others^—may need division of their roots and the rejection of all that do not s^em perfectly strong and healthy. This work can be done in April or May as well as October. If the flower heads of perennial phlox are cut away as soon as they have developed all their blossoms, the email branches \u2tich frequently form a little below the old cluster will often produce very pretty little panicles of bloom. Of course they will lack the size of the earlier clusters, but they will be otherwise quite as fine as far as they go. If the old flower heads are not cut off these embryo branches seldom develop. In a dry season a garden always needs extra care. Leaves will turn yellow and fall and the flowers will soon wither and present un unsightly appearance as they cling to the slats. Go over the grounds at least every other day and take whatever has fallen and remove faded blossoms. Keep the dahlias well tied up. Thin out the plants that are inclined to produce so many branches that the air cannot circulate freely through them. If the season is dry, it will be necessary to apply at least a pailful of water dally to each plant. Keep the ground well hoed and mulch it with grass clippings from the lawn. Apply water after sunset and see that It gets close to the base of the plants. For this purpose use a watering pot with a long spout Get some of those unique Texas rain lilies which bloom two or three days after a rain. Plant them not later than the middle of June In a rich, light soil, four Inches deep, and where they will get plenty of sun, and they Will bloom until August Well-decayed manure Is a much better fertilizer than commercial fertilizer, because it supplies humus, thus improving the capacity of the soil for holding moisture and admitting the air to the roots. If you want a subtropical effect, plant a round bed with a few castoroil plants in the middle, with taHgrowing canna8 circling them, using elephants' ears for the border. If you want a wholesome and refreshing perfume in the house, sow mignonette every two weeks until the middle of July; cut great sheaves of it every day for the living cfuarters. If yon would prolong the season of blooming and enhance the beauty of the flowers, keep all seedpods snipped off. Just as soon as the shrubs have produced their annual crop of blooms thay should ee pruned, thinned, cultivated, fertilised and mulched. This also applies to perennials. Don't expose palms, e t c to the fan sunshine—those that have been growing all winter and spring in the house. Plunge their pets into the earth to the rim and construct a lath or slat house over them that will allow the sunshine to shift on them. This is done by nailing the slats two lnehes apart One part of nittate of soda t o tonr parts bonemeal forms a tetfUasr for a sandy sou. Apply one ounce to a square yard of surface. Large and brilliant flowers will follow the application of this fertiliser. Doa*t try to grow heliotrope 1» hasty, a m sen, b«t grtw It rich, tsar* ous earth, composed or leaf mold, thoroughly rotted manure, and sand to make It friable. Give it good drainage and plenty of water and plant It in the sunshine. The best time for planting perennial seed Is just as soon as it matures—in other words, follow Nature, who casts her seed upon the ground, and they at once grow. The tender seedlings should have some sort of natural or artificial shade, careful watering and weeding, and by fall they will be sturdy plants. Fven the hardiest varieties must have some protection the first winter. House plants that have done duty in the window garden, and those Intended for duty there next winter, must be given as near a complete rest as possible. Invite them to be lazy by giving them poor soil and only enough water to keep them healthy. Cut back severely and pinch off every bud as it appears. During the summer time is your opportunity to trim and train your window plants to good form. SEASONABLE NOTES For worms in the flower pots, take one teaspoonful of ground white pepper to a quart of boiling water; or, two teaspoonfuls of strong ground mustard to a quart of boiling water. Let cool a little and saturate the soil. In the hands of an experienced person liquid manure is of great value, but in the hands of a novice, disaster to the plant may result from using it too strong, or when the plant is at r e s t Begonias must have heat, a moist atmosphere and shade. The dust and dryness of the average air in the sitting room is very unfavorable to them. To keep the air moist have a water tight tray of zinc, of any desired size, and keep it full of water, with a little charcoal In it to keep It sweet. Set a brick in the water and rest the pots on the brick. PHLOX FOR THE GREENHOUSE Perennial phlox makes splendid pot plants for the greenhouse when treated after the1 manner of chrysanthemums. Make cuttings as soon as the shoots are about two Inches long. Root them in small pots, moving them along Into six-Inch pots and when these are filled with roots feed with liquid manure. For potting soil use good loam two parts and well-rotted manure one part. Grow the plants outside with the pots plunged to the rim In earth. Only put them in the.greenhouse to finish. Water liberally throughout the summer. HELIOTROPE The heliotrope is Impatient of a small p o t and should be shifted to a larger size as soon as its fine roots cover the outside of the ball of earth. So dense are its roots that it is often necessary to run a fine skewer about the base of the plant several times to allow the water to penetrate to the heart of the roots. See that these boles are kept open. SUPPORT FOR SWEET PEAS Support sweet-pes vines on a temporary fence made of poultry netting.

BOOZEfl MUST GO. Employers'-liubility laws in the difeferent states have been an important factor in bringing about the present attiude of the business world toward liquor. Corporation managers, investigating the causes of accidents in mill and factory, un railroad and waterway, found a large proportion directly due to the drink habit. Hence the reason for the famous "rule G" of the American Railroad association and the total abstinence requirements of big business generally. In line with this comes the Michigan Workmen's Compensation Mutual of Detroit, which, we learn from the Westera Underwriter, an insurance journal, has sent its members a circular letter on the booze question. We quote: "The careful consideration of all moral hazards involved under the compensation law reveals the fact that booze is the biggest. "Booze is so insidious in its workings that even though an employee may not be actually under the influence of liquor at the time of an injury, a very large percentage of all injuries are either directly or indirectly due to the drinking of liquor. "Therefore, we are earnestly recommending to all of our members that the service of the booze fighter, whether he drink much or little, be dispensed with as promptly as possible, providing he cannot be made to see the error of his ways and become an abstainer." LIQUOR BUSINESS AND LABOR. "The average worklngman fears being out of a Job more than he does going to hell, and the liquor interests have capitalized on this fear," said Rev. Charles Stelzle before the Federal Council of Churches. And he pointed out t h a t : "If the money now invested in the liquor business were invested in the average American industry It would give employment to four times as many worklngmen, who collectively would receive four times as much In the form of wages, and four times as much raw material would be required than is now the case in the liquor business." Mr. Stelzle said that the number of worklngmen employed In the liquor business has been greatly exaggerated. The liquor interests purchase annually only about an average of $10 worth of produce from each farmer in the United States. FAIRNE88 TO TAXPAYER8. A Muncie (Ind.) Judge~the other day made the novel ruling that a man not only has a right to lie down in the saloon where he becomes intoxicated but that it Is his duty to do so Instead of going to some other place. The victim In the case had explained to the Judge that after drinking at the bar he felt the drunken stupor coming on and so hurried to the Jail, only a block away, and gave himself up, because he did not suppose the saloonkeeper would permit him to sleep off his Intoxication on his premises. "So you thought you'd go to the Jail and let the taxpayers take care of yen?" queried the court. "The next time you get drunk I want you to lie down right there In the saloon and not become a public expense." INCREA8E8 VALUES.

The first edition of the printed Bible was sold at 60 crowns per volume to various universities and people of wealth by Dr. John. Faust in Paris. Tho purchasers supposed the books were copied by hand. The last ot the edition he sold at 20 crowns. With this publication originated ^he myth of the "printer's devil." When the people, amazed at tne rapidity with which the ,books were produced, searched his of. 'flee and found a great quantity of red ink which. Faust was using liberally tbey concluded that the devtt was helping the publisher; hence the cry was raised, "The devil and Dr. Faust!"- Chicago Journal. Tha Code of Honor.

HEART oftho SUNSET < ^ REX BEACrt Author of "The Spoilers" "The Iron Trail* "The Silver Horde," E/c. u MRS. AUSTIN IS ACCUSED^ BY HER DRUNKEN HUSBAND OF BEING TOO FRIENDLY W I T H T H E STATE RANGER. Mrs. Alalre Austin, a handsome young matron, mistress of Las Palms*, ranch, gets lost In the Texas desert and after an all-day struggle wanders into the little camp of David Law, a range, officer hunting a Mexican murderer; OrcttSJstance* force *i«r te stay' tttere overnight and all the next day. Law catches bis man and kills another, thnn escorts her home. . - r t r ' l ;Kf^E¥ -DISPATCH; s'-' •n She was a great gossip, and possessed such a talent for gaining Information that through her husband, Benito, the range boss, she was able to keep her mistress in fairly intimate touch with ranch matters. Alalre, as she leisurely dressed herself, acknowledged that It was good to feel the physical comforts of her own house, even though her homecoming gave her no especial Joy. She made it a religious practice to dress for dinner, regardless of Ed's presence, though often for weeks at a time she sat in solitary state, p r i d i n g over ft° empty table. Tonight, Ed was at home. It was with a grave preoccupation that she mjade^herseif ready to. meet him. < In the "dining *^i$N fcjr" acknowledged hi* wif e V entrahds S m h a care-J less nod, but did not trouble to r e - | move his hands from his pockets. As' Alaire's voice' was low and vibrant. "It was my 'pa^oieat for living'with you, and you know it. ton gave me the reins to Lus Palmas so that Td have something to do, something to live for and think about, except—your actions. The ranch has doubled in value, every penny is accounted for, and you huve more money to spend on yourself than ever before. You have no reason to complain." Austin crushed his napkin into a bail and flung it from him; with a scowi he Bhrv>*id himself back from the table. "It was an idiotic arrangement, Just the same. 1 agreed because 1 was sick. Dad thought I was all shot to pieces. But Tin all right now and able to run my own business." < "Nevertheless, It was a bargain, and it will stand, tt your father were alive he'd make you live up to it." "You talk as tf I were a child." shouted her husband; und his plump face wua apoplectic with rage. "The title ts in my name. How could he make me do anything?" "Nobody could force you," his wife said, quietly. "You are still enough of a man to keep your word, I believe, so rest, and of these the finest and the noblest had been "Young-£d" Austin. When she came hoflje M<t marry* Alalre waa still very much of. a child, and she still considered Ed her knight As for him, he was captivated by tills splendid, handsome girl, whom he remembered only as a shy, red-headed little comrade. As Las Palmas had been the elder Austin's wedding gift to his Bon, BO Alaire's dowry from her father had been La F^rla, a grant of lands across the Rio Grande beyond the twentyleague belt by which Mexico fatuously strives to guard her border. And to Las Palmas had come the bride and groom to live, to love and to rear their children. ,v : * But rarely has there *een a shorter Honeymoon, seldom a swifter awakening. Within- six months "Young Ed" had killed his wife's love and had hlm- . self become an alcoholic Other vices \ ao multiplied that what few virtues the young man had Inherited were soon choked. To the bride the truth had come as a stunning.tragedy.

CHAPTER IV. A» Laa Palmas. Although the lower counties of southwest l^exas are flat and badly Watered, they possess a rich soil. They are favored, too, by a kindly climate, eubtropic in its mildness. The Rio Grande, jaundiced, erratic as an invalid, wrings its saffron blood from the clay bluffs and gravel canyons of the hill country, but near its estuary winds quietly through a low coastal plain which the very impurities of that blood have rtchened. Here the river's banks are smothered in thickets of buisache, ebony, mesquite, oak and alamo. Railroads are so scarce along this division of the border that to travel trora Brownsville north along the international line one must, for several hundred miles, avail oneself of-horses, mules or motorcars, since rail transportation is almost lacking. And on his way the traveler will traverse whole counties where the houses are jacals, where English is a foreign tongue, and where peons plow their fields with crooked stick* as did the ancient Egyptians. That part <f the state which lies below the Nue-es river was for a time disputed territory, and long after Texans had given their lives to drive the eagle of Mexico across the Rio Grande much of it regained a forbidden land. Even today it ts alien. It Is a part of ocr Southland, but a South different to any other that we have. Within It there are no blacks, and yet the whites Oumber but one In twenty. The rest *re swarthy, black-haired men who speak the Spanish tongue and whose citizenship la aostly a matter of form. The stockmen, pushing ahead of the oesters and thi) tillers of the soil, were the first to invade the lower Rio Grande, and among these "Old Ed" Austin was a pioneer, l i k e the other Cattle barons, he was hungry for land and took It where or how he could. (Chose were crude old days; the pioneers who pushed their herds into the far pastures were lawless fellows, ruthless, acquisitive, mastered by the empire- builder's urge for acres and still more acres. As other ranches grew under the bands of such unregenerate owners, so also under "Old Ed" Austin's management did Las Palmas increase and prosper. It comprised an expanse of rich river-land hacked by miles of range where "Box A" cattle lived and bred. In his later years when the old man handed Las Palmas to his son, "Young Ed," as a wedding gift, the ranch was known far and wide for its eiae and richness. Laa Palmas had Changed greatly since Austin, senior, painfully scrawled his slanting signature to the deed. It was a different ich now to what the old man had >wn; indeed, tt was doubtful if he Id hare recognised it, for even the was new. • l a i n had some such thought In as she rode tip to the gate on afternoon following her departure tike water hole, and she felt a , of pride at the acres of sprouting feorn, the dense green field of alfalfa • 6 nicely fitted between their fence*.

Ed, slightly mollified, agreed. "Of course I am; I never welched. But I won't be treated as an incompetent, and I'm tired of these eternal wrangles and Jangles." "You have welched." "Eh?" Austin frowned belligerently. "You agreed to go away-when you felt your appetite coming on, and you promised to live clean, at least around home." "Well?" Alalre went on In a lifeless tone that he seated himself heavily at the t abl e icovered the seething emotions within h e r t,j n e v e r l n q u l r e l n t 0 your actions and with unsteady fingers shook the folds from his napkin, he said: "You stayed longer than you Intended, Um-m—you were gone three days, weren't you?" "Fonr days," Alalre told him, realizing with a little inward start how very far apart she and Ed had drifted. She looked at him curiously for an Instant, wondering If he really could be her husband, or—If he were not some peculiarly disagreeable stranger. Ed had been a handsome boy, but he was growing fat from drink and soft from Idleness; his face was too full, his eyes too sluggish; there was an unhealthy redness in his cheeks. In contrast to his wife's semi-formal dress, he was unkempt—unshaven and soiled. His preparations for dinner this evening had been characteristically simple; he had drunk three dry cocktails and flung his sombrero into a corner. "I've been busy while you were gone," he announced. "Been down to the pump house every day laying that new intake. It was a nasty Job, too. I had Morales barbecue a cabrito for my lunch, and it was good, bat Fm hungry again." Austin attacked his meal with an enthusiasm strange In him. He was a heavy and a constant drinker at all times. What little exercise he took was upon the back of a horse, and, as no one knew better than his wife, the physical powers he once had were rapidly deteriorating. By and by he inquired, vaguely: "Let's see. . . . Where did you go this time?" "I went up to look over the Ygnacio tract" "Oh, yes. Think you'll lease I t r "I don't know, I must find some place for those La Feria cattle." Austin shook his head. "Better leave 'em where they are, until the rebels take that c suntry. I stand mighty well with them." "That's the trouble," Alalre told him. "You stand too well—so well that I want to get my Btock out of federal territory as soon as possible." Ed shrugged carelessly. "Suit yourself ; they're your cows." The meal went on with a desultory flow of small talk, during which the husband indulged his thirst freely. Alalre told him about the accident to her horse and the unpleasant ordeal she had suffered In the mesquite, ' *Xucky you found somebody at the water hole," Ed commented. "Who was this ranger? Never heard of the fellow," he commented on the name, "The rangers are nothing like they t3ed to he." "This fellow would do credit to any organization." As Alalre described how expeditiously Law had made his arrest and handled his man, her husband showed interest "Nicolas Anto, e a r said be. "Who was his companerof "Panfilo Sanchas." Ed started. "That's strange 1 They must have met accidentally.* "So they both declared. Why did. yon let Panfilo g o T "We didnt need him here, and be was too goad a man to lone, so—" Bd found his wife's-eyes fixed upon him, and dropped bis owni **I knew yon were abort-banded at La Farfta."

Ji r v e tat yon run things to I We bad ear Nor had the effect of. this transformation in "Young Ed" been any less painful to his father. When the truth was borne in upon him unmistakably, and the girl-wife remained firm In hsr refusal to divorce her husband, the understanding had been reached -toy •* at San Antonio or other large cities, although of course I have ears and 1 can't help hearing about them; but these border towns are home to us, and people know me. I won't be humiliated more than 7 am; public pity is— hard enough to bear. Fve about reached the breaking point" "Indeed?" Austin leaned forward, his eyes inflamed. His tone was raised, heedless of possible eavesdroppers. "Then why don't you end it? Why don't you divorce me? 1 never see anything of you. You have your part of the house and I have mine; all we share in common is meal hours, and— and a mail address." Alalre turned^upon him eyes dark with misery. "You know why I don't divorce you. No, Ed, we're going to live out our agreement, and these Brownsville episodes are going to cease." Her lips whitened. "So are your visits to the pumping station." "What do you mean by that?" "You transferred Panfilo because he was growing Jealous of you and Rosa." Ed burst into sudden laughter. "There's no harm in a little flirtation. Rosa's a pretty girl;" His wife uttered a breathless, smothered exclamation; her hands, as they lay on the table cloth, were tightly clenched. "She's your tenant—almost your servant What kind of a man are you? Haven't you any decency left?" "Say I Go easy I I guess Tm no different to most men." Austin's unpleasant laughter had been succeeded by a still more unpleasant scowL "I have to do something. It's dead enough around here—" "You must stop going there." ••Humph 1 I notice you go where you please. Rosa and I never spent a night together In the chaparral—" "Ed I" Alaire's exclamation was like the snap of a whip. She rose ahd faced her husband, quivering as if the lash had stung her flesh. •That went home, eh? Well, Tm no fool! Tve seen something of the world, and Tve found that women are about like men. Td like to have a look at this David Law, this gunman, this Handsome Harry who waits at water holes for ladies In distress." Ed ignored his wife's outflung hand, and continued, mockingly: 'Til bet he's rJl that's manly and splendid, everything that rm not" "You'd—better stop," gasped the woman. "I can't stand everything.* "So? Well, neither can L" "After—this, I think you'd better go—to San Antonio. Maybe 1*11 forget before you come back," To this "Young Ed" agreed quickly enough. "Good P said he. "That suits me. n i at least get a little peace at my club." He glowered after his wife as she left the room. Then, still scowling, he lurched out to the gallery) where the breese waa blowing, and Hung himself into a chair. • • • • • • • Ed's marriage to Alalre bad been inevitable. They bad been playmates, and their parents had considered the union Ogdensburfc-Wia,—"1 suffered from female troubles which caused piercing ^ ^ .pain* like a knif* [through my back, and side, I finally lost aH my strength so I had to go t o bed.

They were not unduly fastidious, these neighbors, and they knew that hot blood requires more than a generation to cool, but everything Ed did outraged them. In trying to show their sympathy for his wife they succeeded In wounding her more deeply, and Alalre withdrew Into herself. She had changed. The alteration reached to'the very bone and marrow of her being. At first the general pity had wounded her, then it had offended, and finally angered her. That people should notice her affliction, particularly when she strove so desperately to hide tt, seemed the height of insolence. The management of Las Palmas was almost her only relief. Having sprung from a family of ranchers, the work came easy, and she grew to like it—as well as she could like anything with that ever-present pain in her breast Las Palmas had prospered to admiration, and La Feria would have prospered equally had It not been for the armed unrest of the country across the border. No finer stock than the "Box A" was to be found anywhere. But Alalre had not confined her efforts to cattle; she had Improved the breed of "Box A" horses, too, and hand In hand with this work she had carried on a series of agricultural experiments. For instance, she bad started a grove of paper-shelled pecans, which was soon due to bear; the rahchhouse and its clump of palms was all but hidden by a forest of strange trees, which were reported to ripen everything from mothballs to bicycle tires. Blaze Jones was perhaps responsible for this report, for Alalre had shown him several thousand eucalyptus saplings and Borne ornamental rubber plants. •That Mil Austin is a money-matin' piece of furniture," be 'once told hlfl daughter Paloma.

The use of cheese and various vegetable combinations with nuts and egg and milk mixtures will furnish sufficient fuel for a meatless diet, although we learn that any restriction in the diet is not advisable for any length of time, unless following a physician' 8 orders. As nuts are highly concentrated food, they need to be eaten sparingly, and above all things well masticated. Mock Chicken Loaf.—Cook slowly two cupfuls of hominy grits, add a teaspoonful of salt and three pints of water; cook until the hominy Is soft at least three hours. Butter a mold and line It with the hot hominy; pack It firmly around the sides. In the center put the following: Moisten a cupful of wholewheat bread crumbs, with two cupfuls of hot milk, then add a half-cupful each of hickory nut meats and pecans, two tablespoonfuls of melted butter, one teaspoonful of onion juice, mixed herbs and salt a fourth of a teaspoonful of pepper, and two beaten eggs.

THE ROSE CITY They call Portland, Ore., the Rose city. With Its yearly festival where 5,000,000 rose plants are on view it seems to rightly deserve the title. A visit to Peninsula park, In the heart of the Oregon city, during festival week, which is usually the first week in June, one can see 1,000,000 rose flowers, covering more than 700 varieties all In bloom at one time. Last year Portland people planted more than 100 miles of new rose bushes. If placed in n row this display alone would reach from Portland to the Pacific ocean 100 miles along the shore line of the Willamette and Columbia rivers. VIOLETS By LIMA R. ROSE. Violets are the flowers that seem most In vogue always. Unfortunately their season is short in comparison with the numerous hothouse flowers. Notwithstanding the vast strides this Industry has made in the past ten years, violet culture is little understood. Raising them to perfection involves endless care and continual battle against Insect life at the leaf and stem, while rot may attack the root. Then comes constant cultivation every day In the yean In the spring all plants are thrown away and the houses restocked and all the earth taken out and replenished from a new supply. During the winter months various stimulating fertilisers must be used on the soil and all vegetable growth cleared away. If allowed to accumulate It would sap the strength of the plants and absorb the nutriment given by this top dressing. Then the withered leaves, dead or poor blooms, must be removed, and water given in the right quantities. The principal revenue in the violet business is reaped from November to May. In this respect it differs from regular greenhouses where . all varieties of flowers are grown. After May the violets grow smaller as the heat increases. Then the plants are thrown out and the houses thoroughly renovated and emptied preparatory to the planting of the new stock. The propagating houses are then emptied also, the young plants being transplanted, as far as desired, in the regular houses, or set In the open ground for a few weeks, after which the planting of the houses Is completed and the surplus stock sold. By autumn these cuttings have grown Into full-fledged plants and commenced to bloom. These bloomers are small at first, but gradually increase in size as the cold winter days set in and the temperature can be reduced to the desired point As long as the violet sheds its glorious perfume will It be the flower of the hour and worthy of cultivation to the lover of flowers or as a financial proposition. There Is money and joy in it. (Conducted by the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union.) . MAKING FOOL OF HIMSELF. "Because one man out of ten m&kes a tool of himself is no reason why the other nine should be deprived of the pleasure of drink." Replying to this proliquor argument, Ciarence True Wilson, prohibition speaker, says: *4Yes; but it doea not stop with one man's making a fool of himself. The trouble is that he makes, too often, a wild beast of himself. The trouble is that in that condition he is liable to make a corpse of somebody else. If one man out of ten, or one out of fifty, turned out by a saloon is for the time being a maniac, it is about time to shut up the saloon and let the other forty-nine men, gratify thelt appetites in a less hazardous way. If one coat out of every ten made from South American wool were found to engender insanity in the wearer, would the public do right to pass a law, if necessary, preventing the manufacture or sale of such coats? If one man out of every ten that ate ice cream was found to be afflicted with an incurable disease that made him a danger to passers-by,-how' long before the law would throttle the ice cream restaurants? "If liquor were an entirely new thing, just introduced into the country, and the effects were at once ascertained to be what they are known to be, a prohibitory law would be passed by acclamation."

The Bremen Anti-Alcohol congress concluded that while whisky and brandy made a man crazy, beer tends to make him stupid. Doctor Forel of the University of Zurich says: "The drinking of beer has killed the Ideals and ethics and has produced an incredible vulgarity." The reason for the sottishness is that each pint of beer contains a small quantity of pure alcohol, a percentage of lupulin, the active principle of hops, which acts very much like the poisonous principle of Indian hemp. At one time Indian hemp was used as a medicine, but it had to be abandoned on account of its varying and poisonous characteristics. Doctor Delbruck, another authority, says that beer and wine drinking countries such as France, Germany," Belgium and Bavaria, are more alcohol soaked than the whisky and brandy countries, and states that the beer danger Is much greater than, the spirit danger. TAKE CARE OF YOUR FERNS If your Boston fern becomes yellow and droopy-looking and refuses to respond to ypur most loving efforts to cheer and rotwe, It here is a fertilizer th'at is said to give the most wonderful results. Use one tablespoonful of dibasic ammonium phosphate and one of potassium nitrate, dissolved in one gallon of water. Pour*one pint of the solution on the roots of the fern once a week for three weeks. In the meantime give the plant a little pl'fn water every other day. This will prove a valuable tonic and invariably prodnca new prpwth\ CONSUMPTION OF LIQUOR. The Internal revenue department of the United States has made public figures from its 1915 report which definitely and conclusively dispose of one of the stock arguments of the liquor interests, namely, that prohibition does not prohibit and that with the growth of dry territory the consumption ofliquor increases. Notwithstanding indications on every hand to the contrary, journals of the liquor trade, anti-prohibition platform orators and writers of liquor publicity articles in the general press reiterate the statement that legislation has not had, and never will have, any' effect upon the amount of liquor consumed. The statistics given out by the internal revenue department, to the effect that the internal revenue tax *on spirituous liquors Is decreasing at the rata of | 1 , - 250,000 every month, most effectively dispose of these falsifications.

The newest and largest of United States battleships, the Mississippi, waa christened with water from the Mississippi river. When people stop to consider the symbolism of the christening, rite, religious or nautical, water is invariably chosen- . In days gone by, spirituous liquors were generally supposed to give long life and to bring good Inch, but the revelations of science have thoroughly exploded that belief. Aa is well pointed oat the christening of a ship with champagne or anything containing alcohol, the symbol of destruction and death, is an absurdity and a confession of ignorance. YES! MAGICALLY!

It hardly seems possible that there is a woman in this country who continues to suffer without giving Lydia E.

SEE FAILURE IN THE~H0ME Growing Laxity in Discipline There Declared a Crime Cause by Prison Directors, . Growing laxity In mental and moral training and discipline in the home Is responsible In a large measure for the unprecedented growth of population at California's prison and reformatories during the last two years, foe Sacramento Bee observes. This Is charged by the state board of prison directors in the biennial report filed with Gov-. ernor Johnson. There appears to be an Increasing disposition among parents to place pleasure above duty and to place much of the responsibility of parenthood on the state, a condition that should not be tolerated, the report says. The responsibility of the home is taken up tn the report "It should be made the Imperative legal as well as moral duty of parents to rear children properly," it Is declared. "If the moral training of chil* dren I s neglected; If they are not taught self-control; If no rules of home conduct are promulgated or being promulgated, children are permitted to disregard or evade them, it may be expected that s w h children, when grown, will not give due attention te rules of * organized society." Pneumatic Tires for Hiking Shoes. Taking bis inspiration from automobile tires, and going the ordinary rubber heel one better, Oscar Musstnan of New York city has invented a pneumatic tire for his own shaes. The "tire" differs very decidedly from the ordinary heels in that a partition of rubber is built in It half way up its thickness. The partition thus forms an air chamber with the bottom of the leather above it, and still another one with the ground when the heel comes down upon it, explains the Popular Science Monthly. Eeach of these two chambers is connected with the outside air by a small opening. When the heel strikes the ground, the air in the chambers becomes slightly compressed, causing the jolt of the walking to be very greatly cushioned in a manner very much similar to that in which the automobile tire cushions the jolts of riding. To prevent the air from becoming too suddenly compressed and so putting the bottom of the heels out of shape, the air is allowed to escape slowly through the openings. The performance should always be judged by the opportunity. Before He Changed His Mmd, . Full—Kidder proposed to Miss Oldgirl last night FuHer--Did she take him seriously?

EASTERN STATES AFFECTED Guard Will Be Assigned Task of Proi tecting Munitions Plants and Other Strategic Points. Washington—President Wilson Sunday called into federal service and ordered the immediate mobilization of national guard troops from 10 eastern states and the district of Columbia. Fourteen regiments or battaliona are affeected. The troops called are: Massachusetts, Second and Ninth regiments; Pennsylvania, First and Third regimeats; Maryland, Fourth regiment; District of Columbia, First separate battalion; Virginia, Second regiment; Vermont, Company B, First regiment; Connecticut, First regi- j merit; New York, Second and Seven- [ j ty-flrst regiment; New Jersey, First and Fifth regiments; Delaware, First battalion, First regiment. The following organizations which are now in \ the' federal seryice will not be mustered out: Thirteenth Pennsylvania; Companies A and B of the First Georgia." * The national guard organizations will be assigned the task of guarding munition plants, bridges and railroad communications, all strategic military points and, in general, all public property from violence that may follow a declaration of war or a state of war. The authorized strength of the organizations called out is in excess of 25,000 men. Healths Skin Depends On Kidneys The skin and the intentines, which work together with the kidneys to throw out the poisons of the body, do a part of the work, but a clean body and a healthy one depends on the kidneys. If the kidneys are clogged with toxic poisons you suffer from stiffness in the khees. In the morning on arising, your joints seem "rusty," you rnay^have rheumatic pains, pain in the back, stiff neck, headaches, sometimes swollen feet, or neuralgic pains—all due to the uric acid or toxic poisons in the blood. This Is the time to go to the nearest drug store and simply obtain a 50c. package of Anuric (double or triple strength), the discovery of Dr. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y. Then drink a cup of hot water before meals, with an Anuric' Tablet, and notice the gratifying results. Yon will find Anuric more active than llthla. HOME FOLKS TESTIFY Corunna, Mich.—"I had been sick a long time with kidney and bladder trouble. Had ijftckache ail the1 time. I did everything, bat could not find any relief. One day I saw an advertisement of Anuric in the paper. I sent 10 cents to Dr. V. M. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y„ for a trial package. The sample did me so much good that I got more from the druggist I can't begin to tell what Anuric has done for me. I will speak a good word for it, for I can't be too grateful."—MRS.

Washington—Contracts for supplies j sufficient for an army of half a million men have been drawn by the council of national defense. These contracts will be awarded the moment war ii declared and within an hour the making of deliveries will be under way, j The contracts were drawn imme- : diateiy after Howard E. Coffin, of De- j troit, chairman of the committee on ! •industry, reported tbat a survey of the nation's resources has been completed and every manufacturing concern that can make goods needed by an army listed. The contracts are made out individually to the various concerns that can supply the goods needed for the army of 600,000, assurance having already been made that work upon them will be prosecuted with the utmost vigor. SPY SUSPECTS ARE WATCHED Secret Service Men Have Thousands Under Surveillance. Washington—An army of secret service men and agents of the department of justice, spreading a dragnet from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Canada to the Mexican border, have under surveillance thousands of **spy suspects" and German sympathizers. A declaration of war between the United States and Germany will be followed immediately by wholesale arrests and internments. Among the thousands under surveillance are a vast number of German reservists, caught in the United States at the outbreak of the European war and unable to get back to the German army. Every reservist has been listed by the secret agents, after a vast amount of labor, and a war declaration would be the signal for their Immediate apprehension. Canada Offers 160 Acres Free to Farm Hands Bonus of Western Canada Land to Men Assisting in Maintaining Needed Grain Production The demand for farm labor in Canada is great As an inducement to secure the necessary help at once, Canada will give ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ACRES OF LAND FREE AS A HOMESTEAD and allow the time of the farm laborer, who has filed on the land, to apply as residence duties, the same as if he actually had lived on it Another special concession is the reduction of one year in the time to complete duties. Two years instead of three as heretofore, but only to men working on the farms for at least six months in 1917. This'appeal for farm help is in no way connected with enlistment for raifitarx service but solely to increase agricultural output A wonderful opportunity to secure a farm and draw good wages at the same time.

P , Mortenson, Pinckney, Mich. The Wilson Packing Co. i At the election April 2nd, Livingston County will have a candidate for the office of Circuit Judge for the first time in 18 years. Livingston County is a part of the thirty-fifth judicial district. This district was formed 22 years ago, in 1895. During that time the office of Circuit Judge has been held in Livingston County for only THREE MONTHS. This was bv Luke S. Montague, when the district was first organized. During the balance of the time the position has been given to a Shiawassee County man. Shiawassee ] has a much larger population than Livingston but the spirit of fairness demands that Livingston be given a part, at least, of the representation. If Livingston is even to have i ts fair part of the office it must be by the concerted action of all voters. The opportunity for such action will come on April 2nd. Politics ought not to play any part in the election of our judge. Tie people want judges for reasons of sound legal knowledge, competent fairness, the right kind of temperament, qualities that will assure citizens an impartial and intellegent hearing of the lawsuit in which most of us at one time or another of our lives find ourselves entangled. An X before the name of Mr. Van- Winkle will be a step in that direction. ffge^B^eM Sell Old Iron Now is the time of year to dispose of your 01(3 Iron, as the profit is to small to bother with n the summer time.

Probable That Further Increases Will Be Asked When Congress Convenes. ••i£:l Washington—The need of men and more men to man the navy, which forms the nation's first line of defense, was emphasized when President Wilson, by executive orders, increased the authorized enlisted strength of the fleet to 87,000 men. The order, issued under authority of the naval appropriation act of the present year, would add 19,009- bluejackets to the enlisted personnel. Every man will be needed for the new ships being rushed to completion, the reserve fleet ordered into commission and the mosquito fleet of "submarine chasers," which have been ordered constructed in record time. It is probable that a further Increase in the legal limit will be asked when congress convenes. Meantime the navy department will continue its' orders to rush construction. Secretary Daniels and his aides are conferring daily with the shipbuilders and with the manufacturers of material for the building of the enormous naval program now contracted fox. 2 NEW ARMY DEPARTMENTS Hereafter There Will Be Six Instead of Four in Regular Afhiy.

Circumstances force her to stay there overnight She finds the ranger an interesting character. 4 * TTfflTTT CHAPTER N—Continued- —2— ' ^ "Bloodhounds ain't tfny good, outSMfci of novels.- If beef got scarce, them Greasers would steal the dogs and eat •em." He added, meditatively, "Dog ain't such bad eatln', either." "Have you tried It?" Mr. Law nodded "Did you Join the Maderistas for excitement?" • "Mostly. Then, too, I believed Panchlto Madero was honest and would give the peons land. An honest Mexican is worth fightln' for, anywhere. The pel ados are still struggling for their land—for that and a chance to-J live and work and be happy." Mrs. Austin stirred Impatiently. "They are fighting because they are told to fight There is ao patriotism In, them," said she. ' ul think," he said, with grave dellberaieness, "the majority feel something big and vague and powerful stirring Inside them. They don't know exactly what it Is, perhaps, but it is there. Mexico has outgrown her dictators. They have been overthrown by the same causes that brought on the French Revolution." "The French Revolution!" JJalre leaned forward, eying the speaker with startled Intensity. "What do you know about the French Revolution T Reaching for a coal, the Ranger spoke without facing her. "I've read a good bit, ma'am, and I'm a noble listener. I remember good, too. Why, I had a picture of the Bastille once." He pronounced It "Bastllly," and his hearer settled back. '•That was some calaboose, now, wasn't it?" A moment later he tndulred, ingenuously, "I donU suppose you ever saw that Bastille, did you?" "No.-. Only the place where it stood.** "Sho'! You must have traveled right smart for such a young lady." He beamed amiably upon her. There was something winning about this young man's modesty, and something flattering in his respectful admiration. He seemed, also, sto know his place, a fact which was even more In his favor. Undoubtedly he had force and ability; probably his love of adventure and a happy lack of settled purpose had led him to neglect his more commonplace opportunities and sent him into the Ranger service. This man had been denied what she termed education; therefore she decided to put one in his way, "Do you ilke to readT* she asfeed Mm. "Sayl It's my favorite form of exercise."

She's a nice lady, and your coat is just the same color as her hair," Where the shade was densest and the breeze played most freely, these Dave fixed a comfortable couch for his guest, and during the heat of the forenoon she dozed. But -one eannot sleep well with a tropic sun in the heaven*, and since there was really nothing for her to do until the heat abated, Alalre, when she awoke, obliged the Banger to amino her. As the morning progressed Law proved himself an Interesting companion, and la spite of the discomforts-of the situation tto hours slipped rap- Idly. Luncheon was a disagreeable meal eaten while t i p arroyo baked tad the beat detUs danced 00 tka •ills; but the anpteasaataeas was a*[the thrae discarded flvtiff duration end Law always man-' aged to banish boreddm. Nor did h* seem to waste a thought upon th* nature of that grim business Which brought him to this place. Quite the contrary, in the afternoon he put his mare through her tricks for Alaire's edification, and gossiped idly of whatever interested his guest. Then as the sun edged to the west and Mrs. Austin became restless, he saddled Bessie Belle and led her down the gulch into a safer covert Returning, he carefully obliterated all traces of the camp. He watered the ashes of the fire, gathered up the telltale scraps of paper and fragments of food, and then when the place suited him fell to examining his rifle. Alalre watched him with Interest "Where shall I go" she asked, "and what shall I do?" "You just pick out a good cover beyond the water hole and stay there, ma'am. It may be a long wait, for something may have happened. If so, we'll have to lie close. And don't worry yourself none, ma'am; he won't make no trouble." With the sunset the water hole tay sleeping. Alaire's retreat was far from comfortable ,- there was an ants' nest somewhere near her and she thought of moving; but suddenly her breath caught and her heart jumped uncontrollably. She crouched lower, for directly opposite her position, and outlined against the sky where the sharp ridge cut i t was the figure of a mounted man. She was conscious that a keen and hostile pair of eyes was searching the coverts surrounding the charco. Then, as silently as ft had appeared, the apparition vanished beyond the ridge. Alalre lay closo, as she had been directed, praying that the horseman had been warned; but shortly she heard again the rustle of stiff branches, and out into the opening rode a Mexican. He was astride a wiry gray pony, and In the strong twilight Alalre could see his every feature—the swarthy cheeks, the roving eyes beneath the black felt hat A carbine lay across his saddle horn, a lariat was coiled beside his leg, a cartridge belt circled his waist There was something familiar about the fellow, but at the moment Alalre could not determine what it was. •After one swift appraising glance, the newcomer rode straight to the verge of the water hole and dismount-1 ed; then he and his horse drank side by side. ; It was the moment for a complete and effective surprise, but " nothing happened. Why didn't Law act? Alalre ledly with reins hanging.

CHAPTER ljl. What Happened at the. Water Hole. The newcomers exchanged a word or two in Spanish, then the second rider flung himself from his saddle and made for the water. He was lying prone and drinking deeply when out of | ["nowhere came a sharp command. "Oiga! Hands up, both of you P The first arrival jumped as if a rattlesnake had buzzed at his back, the second leaped to bis feet with an oath. "Drop your gun, companerol" Both Mexicans cried, as If at a cue, "Who speaks?" "A Banger." The fellow Law had addressed 1st fall his rifle; two pairs of dark hands rose slowly. Then th» Banger want on In Spanish: "Anto, lower your left hand and onbuckle your belt,* Anto did as ha was told,' his revolver and cartridge bait dropped to tfa* ground. "And you, eompadre, do the. suhML Mind yon, the left handl Now faca about and walk to the charco, both of ran. Law stepped tote tiew4 sis Winches walltlng to Anto's horse, he removed the second carbine from beneath the saddle-dap and ejected its shells Into his palm. This done, he addressed the stranger. "Now,' friend', who are' you, arid why are you riding with this fellow?" : "My naijue is Panftlo Sanchez, peoor. Before God, I have done nothing." The speaker was tremendously excited. In the midst of his incoherent protestations Mrs. Austin appeared. N-*Be>lB t e l l ^ l y o u the truth, Mr. tfcw,* aha eftid^hlefly. "He la one Of my.jnen,Mv •..;;.. Both Mexicans looked blank. At sight of the speaker their mouths fell open,, and Panfllo ceased bis gesticulation. Mrs. Austin went on: "He is my horse-breaker's cousin. He couldn't have had any part Jn that murder in Jim Wells county, for he was at Las Palmas when I left" Panfllo recovered from his amazement removed his sombrero, and blessed his employer extravagantly; then he turned triumphantly upon his captor. "Behold 1" cried he. 'There you have the truth. I am an excellent, hard-working man and as honest as God." "Surely you don't want him," Alalre appealed to Law. MHe was probably helping his countryman to. escape—but they all do that, you know." "All right! If he's your man, that's enough," Dave told her. "Now then, boys, it will sddtTbe dark and we'll need some supper before we start. It won't hurt Anto's horse to rest a bit, either. You are under arrest" he added, addressing the latter. "I won't tie you unless—" "No, senor!" Anto understood perfectly, and was grateful. "Well, then, build a fire, and you, Panfllo, lend a hand. The senora will need a cup of tea, for we three have a long ride ahead of us." No time was lost Both Mexicans fell to with a will, and in a surprisingly short time water was boiling. When it came Law's turn to eat, Alalre, who was eager to be gone, directed her employee to fetch the ranger's horse. Panfllo acquiesced readily and buckled on hia cartridge belt and six-shooter. He was about to pick up bis rifle, too, but finding Law's eyes inquiringly fixed upon him, l>e turned with a shrug and disappeared down the arroyo. It was plain that be considered bis friendly relations well established and resented the ranger's suspicion. "How long has that fellow _been working for you?" Law jerked his head in the direction Panfllo had taken* "Not long. I—dont know much about him," Alalre confessed. Then, as If In answer to bis unspoken Question, "But Tm sure he's ail right" "Is he looking up range for your" "N—no 1 I left him at the ranch. I don't know how he came to be here, Unless*- It Is rather Strang©!" Dave shot a swift Interrogatory glance1 at Panfilo's travellns>«eiopanion, but Anto's face was stony, his black eyes were fixed upon the fir*. With an abrupt gesture L*w flung aside the contents of his cup and strode to Panflle's horse, which stood, dejertherself; he was needlessly melodramatic; she felt exciedlngry lft"ut easef as the pony's hoof-beats grew fainter. She was startled by hearing other hoofbeats now; their drumming came faint but unmtstakuble. Yes, there were two horses racing down the arroyo. Anto, the fugitive, ros< to his feet and stared into the dusk. 4,SU down!" Alalre ordered, sharply. He obeyed, muttering beneath his breath, but his head was turned at) If in an effort to follow the sounds of thts pursuit. Next cume the distant rattle of loosened stones-^vtdejatJy one horse was being urged toward the open high ( ground—then the peaceful quiet evening was splU fcy tU* ra^rt o£ L*^'» thirty-thirty.

Then he leaped upon him, as a dog might pounce upon a rabbit, rolled him to hla face, and twisted the fellow's arm into the small of his back. Anto cursed, he struggled, but he was like a child in the ranger's grasp. Law knelt upon him, and with a Jerk of his rlata secured the fellow's wrists; rising, he set the knot with another heave that dragged the prisoner to his knees. Next he booted Anto to his feet. "I've a notion to bend a gun over your head," Law growled. "Clever little game, wasn't It?" "Where—? Did you—kill hlmr the woman gasped. Alalre had never beheld such a demoniac expression as Law turned upon her. The man's face was contorted, his eyes were blazing insanely, his chest was heaving, and. for an Instant he eeefhed to Include her In his anger. Ignoring her inquiry, he went to his mnre and ran his shaking hands over her as if in search of an injury; his questioning palms covered every inch of gflsteoing aide from forelock to withers; from sneittlder to hoof, and under Cover of this task he regained to some degree his. sejf-controt.

It *EM ea uncomfortable situation hi which Alalre now found herself, l a w I that the man who was working on the farm,: helping to produce the grain that goes to feed those who are at war, would not be affected. The excellent yields of the Western ada crops, and the high prices seed is having its influence on those ing for homes. The authenticated orts that have been sent out from e to time that this farmer and that mer had paid for their entire farm holdings out of one crop has reached the ears of the man looking for a farm. When he hears that G. H. Beatty of Nanton, Alberta, had 679 bushels of wheat from 12 acres or an average of 66½ bushels to the acre, he becomes interested. When:he learns that Sidney E. Phillips of Beddeford, Alberta, threshed ten hundred and flfty-three bushels of wheat, the average being 62½ bushels per acre, his interest is further aroused. Thos. Long of Lethbridge had 120 bushels of oats to the acre from a field of 25 acres, W. Quinn of Milk River had 6.004 bushels of wheat from 100 acres, an average of 60 bushels per acre, and Robert Tackaberry of Nobleford makes affidavit that he had an average of seventysix bushels of wheat per acre from a field of 10.63 acres. Thos. Boulton of the same place makes affidavit that from! fifty acres he had a yield of fifty-three bushels of wheat per acre. Newell J. Noble's affidavit of getting 54 bushels per acre from 1,000 acres stands out most.strongly as evidence of what the wheat grower can do. This "affidavit is" Strengthened by, a paragraph stating* that be had 122 bushels and 30 lbs. per acre from &&69 acres, Mrs. Nancy Coo makes affidavit trmt on her farm at Nobleford she threshed six thouaahd one hundred and ten bushels- of- *Wneat from, one hundred and fifteen aj(ga)»£^ and eight Klijki'' pisrr«ere^:and from;« flax field (stubble field) she got 20 bushels and 88 pounds per acre. It cannot be said that >fhese were, freak yields because so naahy had such great success. When these reports are read, the man looking for a farm becomes convinced. These are only a few of the reasons that will cause a large influx of American farmers Into the Canadian West during the coming. Spring. The farmers now resident in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are purchasing additional lands. Price* are low and Free homestead land can be had in many districts and the homesteader is welcome.—Advertisement. Restaurant.

A Panorama of a Recent Flower Show in New York- Every Year the Florists Are Making More Attractive Exhibitions. PLAN YOUR GARDEN NOW By E. VAN BENTHUYSEN A hardy garden Is the garden for the busy woman. It will last for years and be a delight to you and to your neighbors with a very little care. Take a careful survey of your resources and make a study of your own Individual problem. "Book-taught" gardeners may be all right up to a certain limit but one season's experiment along your own lines will give you an insight into plant life that aside from being a most fascinating study will teach you more than years of reading. Those who wish to plant roses and not bother with them more than to prune and fertilize annually and keep the ground mellow about the plants should plant hybrid perpetual roses. The hybrid perpetuals are the hardiest of roses and will stand mors cold weather than any other species. The following are desirable specimens: Anne de Diesbach, bright carmine ; Baroness Rothschild, an exquisite pink; La France, blooms all summer; Frau Karl Druschki, snow white, has splendid buds, Immense flowers, 4 to 5 inches across and is delightfully fragrant; General Jacqueminot, a popular rose of brilliant red; Paul Neyron, lovely dark pink; Gruss an Teplltz, a strong, vigorous grower, of richest crimson ; Killarney, both pink and white, are hardy, and Mrs. John Laing, a rose of delicious fragrance and of a rich satiny pink color. This list could be extended Indefinitely but these are all tried-and-true varieties that will give you a world of bloom and be a picture worth looking at. A hardy border that Is a triumph of beauty and has been enjoyed for years contains, hollyhocks, phlox, larkspur, fox glove, Iris, Columbines, pinks and sunflowers. Hardy roses require good garden soil enriched with well-rotted manure. They must have an open sunny position clear of the roots of all trees and shrubs. It is well to prepare the bed a few days before planting to allow for settling. Ever-blooming roses should be planted 18 Inches apart and the hybrid perpetuals two feet apart Roses should be planted with the roots diverging and at least nine Inches below the surface of the ground. The soil should be made firm about them and liberally watered- Best results will be obtained from ever-blooming roses by severe pruning. The stronger roots should be cut back to about 12 Inches In height and the hybrids to about 18 Inches, while all weak, thin wood should be removed entirely. Hollyhocks succeed best in rich, well-drained soil, and should be lightly protected during the winter months with coarse straw or spruce boughs. Larkspur seed can be sown in the open ground before the close of April. It "will produce flowering plants by the beginning of July, If given this early start, and will give a continuous succession of bloom from them until frost. It Is excellent for cutting and very ornamentaL It produces in a great variety of forms and colors some of the most beautiful flowers in cultt* radon. AH varieties are easily cultivated and adaptable to most conditions, but in a soil deeply dug and weU enriched with fine old manure, their blooms are the finest. Set from one to one-half to two feet each way. Iris (fleur-de-lis), the national flower of France, is another perfectly hardy plant They grow in any ordinary garden soil luxuriantly and bloom In June. Perhaps the most ahowy and gorof the Iris family Is the Japan- Iris. The towers a n often tea inches In diameter sad Moosa ta July, hssattfat colon both Iris. White faintly tinged with lavendar, light bronze, yellow and bright blue, royal purple, grayish white and a pure white are among the colors shown. Phlox, another plant on our list, cannot be surpassed for brilliant coloring and continuous bloom. Sow phlox, out of doors, in May In a situation well open to the sun. They will flower In July and continue until late In the autumn. If earlier flowers are wanted sow the seeds in a hotbed in March and flowers can be had In June. The old-fashioned clove pink like its more elegant relation the carnation flowers so easily as an annual that it has attained a most popular position among garden plants. The beautiful flowers make an attractive display with their world of color and are greatly to be desired as a table decoration and also as a border plant. Pinks grow easily from seed and come true to color. Sow out of doors when danger from frost is over. If the seed is sown early enough the perennials will bloom the first year. Few hardy perennials are so easily grown from seed, as columbines (agllegia). They make a most desirable border plant, bloom early, long and abundantly. Sow the seed In the open ground in the spring, If possible, where the plants are to grow, and thin to about' a foot apart They thrive well under ordinary garden culture. Sow In the fall for flowering the following season. Sunflower, remarkable for its brilliancy of color, and Its stately growth, makes a very good effect among shrubbery. It Is also excellent for screens. They are said to be good for absorbing the miasma of low grounds. Plant the seed In the open gnrden in spring and thin the plants to stand two or three feet apart. The poultry love the seed of sunflower and It Is well to dry it for the birds. Foxglove (digitalis) is particularly handsome when grown among the shrubbery. If they are used for a background for other plants they give a fine effect Though hardy perennials they are most satisfactory when treated as biennials, sowing the seed every year In rich, deep soil and partial shade. When the center spike begins to fade it should be cut out and the side shoots will grow more vigorously and keep up a profusion of flowers for a long time. Seed may be sown out of doors in the spring, and the seedlings transplanted where they are to go, or if possible, to a cold frame, where they make extra strong plants that will flower in magnificent spikes the next season. There are a great many other plants that are hardy and desirable—this is but a mere beginning. Choose the flowers you are fond of and the work will be more successful and more pleasant Nature warns you when the track of health is not clear.

How many times we hear of comparatively young persons passing away when they should hare lived to be 70 or 80 years of age. This fatal work is usually attributed to the kidneys, as, when the kidneys degenerate, it causes autointoxication. The more injurious the poisons passing thru the kidneys, the quicker will those noble organs be degenerated, and the sooner they decay. To prevent premature old age and promote long life, lighten the work of the kidneys by drinking plenty of pure water all day long, and occasionally taking Anuric (double strength) before meals. This can be obtained at drug stores. Anuric will overcome such conditions as rheumatism, dropsical swellings, cold extremities, scalding and burning urine and sleeplessness due to constant arising. WHAT NEIGHBORS SAY Delphos, Ohio—"I saw the Anuric Tablets advertised and sent for a trial package. I had doctored a good deal for ten years, but I never got any better. Sometimes I was disturbed three or four times at night. Never any pain, just uneasiness. I had a s o r e n e s s in my back and an awful weak back, so I wanted to see if the trial package would benefit me. I felt better from the first so I went to the druggist and got a 50-cent box of the tablets and took all of them and never had any more trouble. After that I can say Anuric is Just as recommended."— MRS. C. L. CRAMER. Send Dr. V. M. Pierce, Buffalo, N. X* ten cents for trial package.

MatsMftff^ :*;''' CZAR OF RUSSIA IS OUSTED BY REBELS DUMA ORDERED DISSOLVED QY EMPEROR JOINS HANDS W I T H REVOLUTION. CZARS BROTHER IS REGENT Trouble Which Has Been Brewing for Long Time Said to Have Been Cauaed by Pro-Germans. Petragrad—Czar Nicholas II, emperor of Russia, has been abdicated. Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch, his younger brother, has been named as regent The empress has been placed under guard. The Russian ministry, charged with corruption and incompetence, has been swept out of office. One minister, Alexander Protopopoff, head of the interior department, is reported to have been killed. Other ministers, as well as the president of the imperial council, are under arrest. A new national cabinet is announced, with Prince Lvofl as president of the council.and premier. Other offices are held by men close to the Russian people. Thus does the duma win its historymaking struggle against the empire's autocracy, accused of pro-German leanings. Victory, however, came not without bloodshed, but only after three days of battles between armed forces of the reactionaries and the new regime. Casualties numbered about 500. Shops and houses of suspected pro-Germans were burned. Moscow joined the revolution without bloodshed. That city was followed quickly by the garrisons at Kharkov and the seaport fortress of KronstadL Too late, the emperor hastened back from the front, only to find that the revolution had been successful and that a new government was in control. Russia's new regent—Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch—is a younger brother of the retiring emperor. Born December 4, 1878, he is 39 years of age. The regency is pending the majority of Alexis, the Czarevitch, 13 years of age, born August 12, 1904. One of the first acts of the revolutionaries, after obtaining control of the government, was to order the arrest of former Premier M. Sturmer and Premier Golitzine, who are in custody, together with the head of the secret police. The revolutionaries are governing the country by issuing decrees. These mandates are enforced by the army. The duma joined hands with the revolut^ a, on being dissolved by the emperor, and declared the existing government had been overthrown. Then the duma resumed i£s sittings, after It had sent to the emperor notification of developments, warning him that the fate of the dynasty depends on his acceptance of the new order of affairs. All the ministers resigned with the exception of M. Protopopoff. The jails were thrown open. The headquarters of the secret police and several government buildings were burned. Strict military rule prevails. The army has the situation so well in hand it is not expected adherents of the late government will be able to offer any serious resistance, even In remote provincs. The government of Petrograd is in the hands of a committee consisting of representatives o f ' t h e duma the zemstvoes and municipalities, presided over by President Rodzianko of the duma. The British and French ambassadors established official business relations with the executive committee of the duma. Events leading up to the revolution began with street demonstrations of worklngmen, who quit work as a protest against the shortage of bread. The first two days mounted patrols kept the crowds moving without resorting to violence. When ordered to fire on t h e people, they refused. Police were substituted and a battle occurred between them and the troops. Regiment after regiment joined the rebels, seizing arsenals and other .strategic points. The duma was dissolved by imperial order, effective March I I , the imperial ukase reading as follows: "Sittings of the duma are adjourned owing to extraordinary circumstances until further notice. They will be resumed not later than April/' The order diasotrlng the duma was issued by the emperor just before he left for the front recently. That trouble would result was evidently anticipated and the residents of Tsarkoe- Satow ware warned to make all arrsngejwnts to remain In the suburb for an indedmiU parted and the roads) leading to the town WON guarded. ; . > * * • = RAILROAD STRIKE HAS BEEN AVERTED MEDIATORS GIVEN AUTHORITY TO MAKE CONCESSIONS TO EMPLOYES. VICTORY FQR BROTHERHOODS Under the Agreement Men Will Get Ten Hours' Pay for Bight HounV Work. New York—The big railroad strike is off. The conference committee of railroad managers early Monday morning announced it had given authority to President Wilson's mediators to make any arrangements necessary with the four railroad brotherhoods to end the threatened nationwide walkout. The formal letter in which this authorization was made, signed by Elisha Lee, chairman of the railroad managers' committee, was as follows: "In this national crisis the national conference committee of railroads joins with you in the conviction that neither at home nor abroad should there be fear or hope that the efficient operation of the railroads of the country will be hampered or impaired. "Therefore, you are authorized to assure the nation there will be no strike. As the basis of such assurance, we hereby authorize the committee of the council of national defense to grant to the employes, who are about to strike, whatever adjustment your committee deems necessary to guarantee the uninterrupted and effected operation of the railroads as an indispensable arm of national defense." Secretary Lane, at the same time, said: "Regardless of the decision of the supreme court on the Adamson law, the eight-hour day will be effective. The details are being worked out by a joint committee. The men will get 10 hours' pay for eight hours' work, under the agreement. The concessions on the part of the managers are virtually what the employes contended they would gain under the Adamson law if it were declared constitutional. Immediately after Secretary Lane had made his announcement the brotherhood leaders sent telegrams to the general chairman of the railroads' organizations throughout the country informing them that the strike had been declared off. GERMANS IN FULL RETREAT British and French Troops Smashing Forward on Western Front. London—Advances over a front of about 100 miles by the British and French armies in France, and additional gains by the Russians and British over the Turks in Turkish Armenia, Persia and Mesophotamla are the outstanding features in the war on land. The important towns of Bapaume, Peronne, Chaulnes and Nesle, and more than 60 villages, have been taken by the British troops on a front of 46 miles, and King George's men are continuing their pursuit of the retreating Germans. Bapaume, the British objective in the Somme offensive, a stronghold characterized by Field Marshal Von Hlndenburg as impregnable, was taken by the British after stiff fighting with the German rear guard, and Roye and Las sign y, cities in t h e Oise river sector, which with strong fortified positions, have been held by. the Germans for more than two years, have fallen t o the French forces. The capture of Peronne looms up as the biggest event of the war in the winter campaign on t h e Belgian front, and the official dispatches indicate the retreat of the Germans is growing dally.

PALACE FOR A HORSE. Beauf 'r ul Stall Arranged For an Old Livary Animal. Watertown, Wis.—Rock, aged twenty- six years, a livery horse, will reside in a fine thrco story brick garage after May 1, the only four footed animal about the place except the office cat, Al Fred rich, liveryman, will change his bis establishment into a garage and auto livery and sell all hi* horses except Rock. This horse did his first livery work twenty-four years ago. Since that day he has not missed a men I of feed or cost a penny for veterinary service, lie has bad seven mates, all of whom have gone the way of the livery horse. but he still does his bit at funeral, wedding or party. After May 1 he will retiro to a box stall just a little less than gold plated. Mr. Fredrlch estimates that Rock has earned a sum that would about equal his present investment in building, live { stock and roiling stock. Gold. .

TONNAGE TAX BILL IS PIGEON-HOLED CALLED FOR A SPECIFIC TAX ON COPPER, COAL AND IRON O R ^ FOUGHT BY MINE OWNERS Similar Bills Have Been Introduced and Sidetracked in Every Recent Legislature. (From Our Special Correspondent.) Lansing. The tonnage tax on mining products of the atate, a proposal with which every recent legislature has become familiar, was put before the house in a bill by Rep. Lewis. It called for a specific tax on copper of 1-2 cent a pound, 10 cents u ton on coal and 20 to 80 cents a ton on iron ore. Mining companies have always fought this tax as double taxation, because they pay taxes on the assessed valuation of their properties, which are being reduced in value as the ore is removed. The old arguments on the tonnage tax apparently were fresh in the minds of the house tax committee, •which discussed the bill the morning after Its introduction and decided to pigeon-hole it for the session. Compensation Bill Defeated. The Martin-Stewart bill to amend the workmen's compensation law and grant some increases In compensation to injured workmen has met defeat In the senate. Members opposing it said that the many small manufacturers throughout the etate already are burdened by the provisions of the present law and declined to aid in Increasing any of the payments under It. Members favoring it made a strenuous fight for it on the ground of taking care of the working-man 1n the face of Increased cost of living. By a vote of 16 to 12 it was tabled. Prospect Good for Budget Commission Present prospects are for the passage of a bill providing for a budget commission, as wanted by .Gov. Sleeper. The Foote house bill, for a commission of five to investigate budgets and report as soon as possible to the governor, is on Its way through the noise; while the senate has the amended Robert3-Deland bill that now provides fo: a commissi M- to investigate as welt a.> u< establish an immediate budget syrtem. investigate Detroit Art Museum. The house has adopted a resolution offered by Rep, Sheridan Ford to in* vestigate the Detroit Museum of Art to find if it has exceeded its lights as a private association. Rep. Ford charged that the museum has used city appropriations when it had no right to public money, because it Is not a public institution, and declared that it is run by "millionaire snobs." Road System Amendment Passed. Both houses have passed the resolution to submit an amendment to the constitution to provide for a road system that will inc.ude the county aystern, but leave it optional with the legislature to -vipe out the township system and the jobs of township highway commissioners and township overseers. "Family Protection" Bill. A bill regarded" as very important to fraternal companies, known as the "whole family protection" bill, has been reported out favorably by the senate insurance* committee. Under its provisions insurance can be placed on the lives of children whose parents are members of a fraternal society. Hits Fire Insurance Companies. A new insurance bill would require that fire insurance companies cannot insure property above its true value and may be held for the entire face of the policy In the event of loss. They would lose the right to do business in Michigan for 90 days for every violation of the law. Now Bills Galore. Now bills galore have been appearing in both house and senate since the house past** its resolution calling for aa adjoummant of the legislature on March 8L la fact, the Dills have been oonlng in, moth 'more rapidly since the adjournment resolution than they did before, row now think that the gjawlem can conclude before the Utter put of April. Bap. Crawford has introduced a f roa ik bUi, to apply to all public . In the stats, and to allow no to as charged far ire years tfcsr sttvo hooa agreed upon for Insurance and Railroad Hearings- Hearings of all aorta have featured the legislative work of the past week. Of principal interest, because of their wide scope, were the hearings on the Insurance and railroad bills, but there were numerous other bills also thrown open to discussion by speakers from outside the legislative halls, and the oratory that resulted left no doubt as to the public concern in all the matters at issue. The codified insurance laws, prepared for this legislature by order ol the 1915 legislature, embrace everything in the line of Insurance legislation in Michigan, together with a number of proposed revisions in the laws. Because of the field covered by them , the joint insurance committees of the house and senate ordered a series of hearings for a week, giving a day to fire insurance men, a day to life, fraternal and reciprocal men, a day to casualty men, and a day to mutual insurance men. Some heated debates occurred in the fire Insurance hearing over the anti-discrimination law, which is incorporated In the new code, but the other hearings were not marked by undue excitement. Rather they were featured by discussions of the phraseology of the laws, with various sug gestionis made as to improvements that might be obtained by word changes. The railroad hearings were fraught with much interest to everyone, shippers taking an active hand along with railroad men. Many of the shippers favor an increase in passenger rates from 2 to 2½ or 3 cents a mile. Freight conditions are said to be responsible for this feeling. In fact, Ray R. Darwin, of the Michigan Shippers' Association, at one of the hearings said he and his association were willing to back up a 3-cent passenger fare law, but wanted to be assured that the roads would move freight shipments ten miles or more per hour. W. C. Brown, of the Michigan Central, made the statement that in February his road had run $270,000 behind. W. C. Wishart, of New York, chairman of the accounting committee of the railroads' association, presented many figures to back up his contention that the railroads are in need of increased fares because of heavy increases in all their expenses while their rate receipts stood still. At the outset of the hearings the railroad men had the floor, presenting their reasons why they think they are entitled to raise rates. The battle against the increases is expected to follow much the same line as that of two years ago, when the roads were defeated in their efforts for a 3-cent fare after a fight extending over two months. THREE AMERICAN STEAMSHIPS SUNK A L L WERE BUILT AND OWNED AND MANNED LARGELY BY AMERICAN CITIZENS. TWENTY-TWO MEN MISSING Unofficially Admitted That Acts Virtually Place U. S. in a State of War. Washington — Three American steamships have been sunk- by German submarines. Twenty-two of their men, most of them American citizens, were missing. The vessels sunk were the City of Memphis, IllinoiB and Vigilancia. The members of the crew of the Illinois have been landed without loss of life. Of the three ships destroyed, two of them were unloaded and homeward bound, and all were American built, American owned and officered and manned largely by American citizens. Meager dispatches indicate that all were sunk with complete disregard for the safety of those on board, and that some of the members of the crew may have been lost. With the announcement of the ruthless destruction of three unarmed american merchant ships by submarines, it was unofficially admitted -that virtually a state of war exists between the United States and Germany. Technically, the United States remains in a position of armed neutralit y . Whether his shall be changed April 16, the date fixed for a special session of congress, the war-making branch of the government, President Wilson has not decided. International lawyers and constitutional experts showed no hesitancy in saying that President Wilson has full authority to interpret this as an act of war, and announce that this country considers that an actual state of war exists by reason of German's flagrant assault on American shipping. All of the conditions outlined by the president in his message announcing the diplomatic break with Germany as leading to a state of armed neutrality have now been fulfilled. The "overt act," described by him before, has actually come. FRENCH PREMIER OUSTED Recommends New License System. Secretary of State Vaughan rec ommends changing the system of li censing automobiles to fill out many of the loopholes in t h e present law. The main points in Mr. Vaughan's , recommendations are: i 1—Make the license fee 50 oents i a horsepower for pleasure cars ar.d cut out all reference to weight. \ 2—Make license fee for electric , pleasure oars $3 flat. | 3—Make truck license fee 30 cents a horsepower. 4—Make motorcycle license fee 50 cents a horsepower, with no reference to weight, and a minimum fee of |2. 5—Give the secretary of state ] authority to name inspectors to check up on cars, whose duty 1t shall be to visit garage and ferret out any cars violating the license law. 6—Give the secretary of state authority to annul any license Issued to a chauffeur and a right to refuse any application for a license for a car, for cause, 7—Make the age limit for drivers of cars definite, perhaps IS years. 8—Make it a midemeanor to changfl the numbers on plates or to tamper with the plates in any manner. Already there are several bills In the legislature which cover the last four or five recommendations, but not the changes in fees. The discarding of the weight proposition arises from the fact that the exact weight of cars is a tough problem to solve. During the last two years the state department has heen in trouble all the time over thG weight of cars, no two of the same model seeming to weigh the same. The department finds, according to Mr. Vaughan, that if the fee a horsepower were doubled, the total fds would be just about (he tame as the present system of 21 cents a horse power and 25 cents a 100 pounds. As for the trucks, it is thought that the bill now in the senate on th* o n of tracks in the highways will keei them within bounds and the charge of 80 cents a horsepower Is consider M sufficient i Both houses passed the bill whicl raises from $10 to $25 a year ths tuition per pupil when a townshli which has no high school sends pu pits to outside high schools. ARTISTIDE BRIAND. Paris—The French cabinet, headed by Premier Briand, has resigned. The Briand ministry had been attacked in the French parliament repeatedly during the last few weeks on account of its economic policy. It succeeded the Viriani cabinet in October, 1915, and was reorganised last December 12, when the number of ministerial portfolios was decreased and a war council appointed. The war council included Premier Briand, M. Rlbot, minister of Finance; General Lyautey, minister of war; Bear Admiral Lacase, minister of marine, and M. Thomas, minister of national -manufactures.

PAYS FOR 180 ACRES OF LAND From the Crop of Wheat on 53 Acres in Western Canada. This story of paying for your land out of oue year's crop is fully authenticated by a great many farmers in Western Canada. And now, all that the farmer.makes is velvet and you find him going more extensively into stock raising, for all authorities agree that in a short time there will be a demand for live stock, such as even will tax the vast resources of Western Canada. They will go Into stock raising because of the adaptability of the country to provide food and fodder without feeding grain If necessary. They will go Into stock and Improve their places. Taey will Install steam and heating plants— in fact, many are now doing it. They will have automobiles, In fact in many districts there is not a farmer but has one. They will beautify their homes and erect fine barns until the whole country will be as attractive as many of the counties in the best states in the Union. But we started out to tell you of the farmer who paid for 160 acres of land from the crop of wheat off of 53 acres. The Holden district on the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific does not appear to the ordinary observer to be any better than many other districts along that line, and probably isn't. It was In this district that John Larcome, a settler, purchased in 1D15 160 acres of raw prairie land. He broke' and seeded 53 acres. His crop turned out well, and he sold the greater portion of it for $2,970. His land cost him $16.50 per acre, or $2,640. So that the crop from the 53 acres paid for the land and left a balance of over $300, which with part of the crop left over would Just pay for the cost of operation. This is not really an unusual case, hundreds of other farmers in Alberta afld Saskatchewan having been able to do the same. Sales of land are being reported from many districts In Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta at good prices. And values are yet low, but with the flow of any value that will take place after the war, no doubt they will be considerably Increased. The homesteads in the Park sections which are to be had actually free are having the attention of a good class of settlers, who want to go into mixed fanning.— Advertisement.

Newspaper reports apparently have not gone to the bottom of the situation. Trouble- making circumstances between the Mexican and American peoples are deeper than one or two or half a dozen raids on border towns by outlaw gangs, and these circumstances won't work themselves out satisfactorily in a week or a month or a year.

The Water-Hole. A fitful breeze played among the mesquite bushes. The naked earth, where It showed between the clumps of grass, was baked plaster hard. Although the sun was half-way down the west, Its glare remained untempered, and the tantalizing shade of the sparse mesquite was more of a trial than a comfort to the lone woman who, refusing Its deceitful invitation, plodded steadily over the waste. Stop, indeed, she dared not. In spite of her fatigue, regardless of the tortare from feet and limbs unused to walking, she must, as she constantly assured herself, keep going until strength failed. Somewhere to the northward, perhaps a mile, perhaps a league distant, lay the waterhole. Desert travel was nothing new to her; thiftt and fatigue were old acquaintances. She readjusted the strap of the empty water bag over her shoulder and the loose cartridge belt at her folp, then set her dusty feet down the slope. The sun had grown red and •huge when at Sast in the hard-baked earth she discovered fresh hoofprlnts. •She followed them gladly, encouraged when they were Joined by others. A low bluff rose on her left, end along Its Crest scattered Spanish daggers were raggedly silhouetted against the sky. She tried to run, but tier legs were heavy; she stumbled a great deal, and her breath made Strange, distressing sounds as it issued from her open lips. Rounding the steep shoulder of the ridge, she hastended down a declivity into a knot.of scrub oaks and ebony trees, then halted, staring ahead of her." Nestling in a shallow, flinty bowl was a pool of water, and on its brink a little fire was burniDg. It was a tiny fire, overhung with a blackened pot; the odor of greasewood and mesquite smoke was sharp* A man, rising swiftly to his feet at the first sound, was staring at the newcomer ; he was as alert as any wild thing. But the woman staggered directly toward the pond, seeing nothing after the first glance except the water. She would have flung herself full length upon. the edge, but the man stepped forward ana stayed her, then placed a tin cup In her hand. She mumbled something in answer to his greeting and the hoarse, ravenlike croak in her voice startled h e r ; then she drank, with trembUng eagerness, drenching the front of her dress. The water was warm, but it was clean and delicious. "Easy now. Take your time," said the man, as he refilled the cup. "It won't give o u t * She knelt and wet her face and neck. Felt the stranger's hands beneath her arms, felt herself lifted to a more comfortable position. Without asking permission, the stranger unlaced first one, then the other of her dusty boots, seaming not to notice her weak attempt a t resistance. Once he had placed h e r bare feet in the water, she forgot her resentment in the intense relief. The man left her seated in a collapsed, semiconscious state, and went back to his fire. It was dark when for the first time she turned her head toward the camp fire and stared curiously at the figure there. The appetising odor of broiling bacon had drawn her attention, and as if no mora went unnoticed the man said, without lifting his eyes: "Supper will ha ready directly. How*d jroo like your tff spotka wttn an vnntistakaMa us drawl; the woman put biw down at once for a cowboy. Well back from the fire he had arranged a seat for her, using a saddle blanket for a covering, and upon this she lowered herself stiffly. "I suppose you wonder how I—happen to be here," she said. "Now don't talk 'til you're rested, miss. This coffee is strong enough to walk on its hands, and I reckon about two cups of it '11 rastle you into shape." As she raised the tin mug to her lips he waved a hand and smiled. "Drink hearty !" He set a plate of bread and bacon in her lap, then opened a glass jar of jam. The woman ate and drank slowly. She was too tired to be hungry, and meanwhile the young man squatted upon his heels and watched her | through the smoke from a husk cigarette. "Have you had your supper?'* she finally inquired. "Who, me? Oh, I'll eat with the help." He smiled, and when his flashing teeth showed white against his leathery tan the woman decided he was not at all bad-looking. He was very tall and quite lean, with the long legs of a horseman—this latter feature accentuated by his high-heeled boots and by the short canvas cowboy coat that reached only to his cartridge belt. His features she could not well make out, for the fire was little more than a bed of coals, and he fed it, Indianlike, with a twig or two at a time. "I beg your pardon. I'm selfish." She extended her cup and plate as an invitation for him to share their contents. "Please eat with me." But he refused. "I ain't hungry,"£e affirmed. "Honest!" Accustomed as she was to the diffidence of ranch hands, she refrained from urging him, and proceeded with her repast. When she had finished she lay back and watched him as he ate sparingly. "My horse fell crossing the Arroyo Grande," she announced' abruptly. "He broke a leg, and I had to shoot him." "Is there any water in the Grande?" asked the man. "No. They told rae there was plenty. I knew of this charco, so I made for i t " "Who told you there was water In the arroyo?" "Those Mexicans at the little goatranch." "Balll. So you walked in from Arroyo Grande. It's a good ten miles straightaway, and I reckon you came crooked. Eh?" "Yes. And it was very hot. I was tiever here but once, and—the country looks different when you're afoot." "It certainly does," the man nodded. Then he continued, musingly: "No water there, eh? I figured there might be a little." The fact appeared to please him, for he nodded again as he went on with his meal. "Not much rain down here, I reckon." "Very little. Where are you from?" "Me? Hebbronvllle. My name is Law." Evidently, thought the woman, this fellow belonged to the East outfit, or some of the other big cattle ranches in the Hebbronvllle district. Probably he was a range boss or a footman. After a time she said, "I suppose the nearest ranch is that Balll place?" "Yes»m.M •Td like to borrow your horse." Mr. Law stared into his plate. "Well, miss, Trn afraid—" She added, hastily, T i l send you a fresh one by Balli's boy in the morning." Law shook his head. "I c a n t loan yon my horse, miss. I got to meet a man here." ••When will he come?" "He'd ought to be here at early dark tomorrow evening." Heedless of her dismay, he continued, "Yes'm, about sundown." ••But—I c a n t stay here, m ride to Balli's and have your horse back by afternoon." "My man might come earlier than I expect," Mr. Law persisted. ••Really, I can't see what difference It would make. It wouldn't Interfere with your appointment to let me—" Law smiled slowly, and, setting his plate aside, selected a freah cigarette; then, as he reached for a coal, he explained : •1 h a v e n t got what you'd can exactly an appointment. This feller I*m expectta' la a Mexican, and day before yesterday ha killed a man over in Jim Wells county. They got ma by *pbona at Hebbronvllle and told ma he'd loft {He's fctadu' for the border, and W a dseharaaboBt royo Grande's dry. i was almin' to let you ride his horse." "Then—you're an officer?' "Yes'm. Ranger. So you see I can't help you to get home till my man comes. Do you live around here?" The speaker looked up Inquiringly, and after an instant's hesitation the woman said quietly: "I am Mrs, Austin." She was grateful for the gloom that hid her face. "I rode out this way to examine a tract of grazing land." It seemed fully a minute before the Ranger answered; then he said, in a casual tone, "I reckon Las Palinas is quite a ranch, ma'am." "Yes. But w c need more pasture." "I know your La Feria ranch, too. I was with General Castro when we had that fight near there." "You were a Maderista?" "Yes'm. Machine-gun man. That's a fine country over there. Seems like the Almighty got mixed and put the Mexicans on the wrong side of the Jtio Grande. But I reckon you haven't seen much of La Feria since the last revolution broke out." "No. We have tried to remain neutral, but—" Again she hesitated. "Mr. Austin has enemies. Fortunately both sides have spared La Feria." • Law shrugged his broad shoulders. "Oh, well, the revolution isn't over! A ranch In Mexico is my idea of a bad investment." He rose and, taking his blanket, sought a favorable spot upon which to spread It. Then he helped Mrs. Austin to her feet—her muscles had stiffened until she could barely stand—after which he fetched his saddle for a pillow. He made no apologies for his meager hospitality, nor did his guest expect any. When he had staked out his horse for the night he returned to find the woman rolled snugly In her covering, as in a cocoon. The dying embers flickered into flame and lit her hair redly. She had laid off her felt hat, and one loosened bratd lay over her hard pillow. Thinking her asleep, Law stood motionless, making no attempt to hide his expression of wonderment until, unexpectedly, she spoke. "What will you do with rae when your Mexican comes?" she said. "Well, mn'am. I reckon I'll hide you out in the brush till I tame him." "Thank you. I'm used to the open." He nodded as if he well Knew that she w a s ; then, shaking out his slicker, turned away. As he lay staring up through the thorny mesquite branches that roofed him inadequately from the dew, he marveled mightily. A bright, steadyburning star peeped through the leaves at him, and as he watched it he remembered that this red-haired woman with the still, white face was known far and wide through the lower valley as "The Lone Star." Well, he mused, the name fitted her; she was, if reports were true, quite as mysterious, quite as cold and fixed and unapproachable, as the title Implied. Knowledge of her Identity had come as a shock, for Law knew something of her history, and to find her suing for his protection was quite thrilling. Tales of her pale beauty were common and not tame, but she was all and more than she had been described. She had not been too proud and cold to let him help her. In her fatigue she had allowed him to lift her and to make her more comfortable. Hot against his palms—palms unaccustomed to the touch of a woman's flesh —be felt the contact of her naked feet, as at the moment when he had placed them in the cooling water. Her feeble resistance had only called attention to her sex—to the slim whiteness of her ankles beneath her short riding skirt.~] Following his first amazement at beholding her had come a fantastic explanation of her presence—for a moment or two it had seemed as if the fates had taken heed of his yearnings and had sent her to him out of the dusk—wild fancies, like these, bother men who are much alone. chared the valley's rim uiul the ground was damp with dew. Somewhere near by an unfamiliar bird wus sweetly ^trilling. Alaire listened d'eaniily until the bird-carol changed to the air of a familiar cowboy song, then she sat up, queerly startled. David Law was watering his horsp, grooming the animal meanwhile with a burlap cloth. It was a beautiful blood-bay mare, and as the woman looked it-.lifted its head, thon with wet, trembling muzzle cayesued Its owner's cheek. Undoubtedly this attention was meant for a klsi>. an,d was as daintily conferred as any woman's favor. It brought a reward U a lump of sugar. "Good morning," said Mrs. Ausiln. Law lifted his hat in a graceful salute as he approached around t'he edge of. the pool, his spurs jingling musically. The mare followed. "You have a fine horse there." "Yes'm. Her and me get along all right. I hope we didn't wake you, malum." "No. I was too tired to sleep well." "Of course. I heard you stirring about during the night." Law paused, and the mare, with sharp ears cocted forward, looked over his sbouldor inquisitively. "Tell the lady good moaning, Bessie Belle," he directed. The animal flung its hftud high, (hen stepped forward anC, stretching its neck, sniffed doubtfully at the visitor. "What a graceful bow!" Mrs. Austin laughed. "You taught her that, I presume." "Yes'm ! She'd never been to schr>ol when I got her; she was plumb Ignorant. But she's got all the airs of a fine lady now. Sometimes I go without sugar, but Bessie Belle neser does." "And you with a sweet tooth!" The Ranger smiled pleasantly. "She's as easy as a rockin' chair. We're kind of sweethearts. Ain't we, kid?" Again Bessie Belle tossed h«r head high. "That's 'yes,' with the reverse English," the speaker explained. He would not permit her to help with the breakfast, so she lay back watering her host, whose personality, now that she saw hira by daylight, hod begun to challenge her interest. Physically Law was of an admirable mako —considerably over six feet In height, | with wide shoulders and lean, strong limbs. Although his face was schooled to mask all but the keenest emotions, a pair of blue-gray, meditative eyes, with a whimsical fashion of wrinkling half-shut when he talked, relieved a countenance that otherwise would have been a trifle grim and somber. The nose was prominent and boldly arched, the mouth was thin-lipped and mobile. In his face there was nothing animal in a bad sense. Certainly it ^showed no grossness. The man, despite his careless use of the plains vernacular, seemed to be rather above the average In education and intelligence. On the whole, she rather resented the good impression Law had made upon her, for on general principles she chose to dislike and distrust men. Rising, she walked painfully ta the pond and made a leisurely toilet Breakfast was ready when Bhe returned, and once more the man sat upon his heels and smoked while Bhe ate. After a while she remarked: 'To* glad to see a Ranger in this country. There has been a lot of stealing down our way, and the association men can't seem to stop i t Perhaps yotf can.1* "The Rangers have a reputation In that line," he admitted. "But there is stealing all up and down the border, since the war." "The ranchers have organized. They have formed a sort of vigilance committee In each town, and talk of using bloodhounds." OF Are Greatly Favored With Mutual Insurance. The farmer of the state as well as* the lawyer and bunker feels the need of keeping his automobile insured against the damage claims and suits together with fire and theft. When the farmers began to buy automobiles they found that with the increased number, accidents would often occur in which some person would be Injured, a horse would become frightened, running away and injuring the driver, etc. Damage claims were brought entailing the expense of defending a lawsuit or paying a large Judgment, possibly $o,000. This condition has created a demand. Michigan is the only state that lma a large mutual insurance company protecting against tire, theft, and liability and its rapid growth and success is being watched by other states. The cost in stock conipnuies for this Insurance has been about $50 per year, but on the mutual plan with a large membership It is estimated that the citst is about 2 cents per day. A man who is able to own an automobile is willing to lay aside a few dollars each year to protect this car against fire and theft and the accumulations of years from damage suits. The past week an automobile was stolen from Arthur Sine, a farmer near Springport; another one was stolen from the barn from David LuBlanc, Romulus; a car burned on a farm near Jonesville, and another one uear Frankenmuth. 1« every paper you read of damages done by automobile owners to person and property. As only about 47c die leaving an estate of over $1,000 but few art1 able to stand heavy losses without protection ; that is reason that 17,000 policies have been issued by the Citizens' Mutual Automobile Insurance Company of Howell. The cost Is $1.00 for policy plus 25 cents per H. P. to join. The Company is now starting on the third season; 24,"> claims have been promptly paid. Write William K.

When the same was tested it was found t o contain four and thirty four one-hundredths per cent Alcohol, which is more than beer contf iis, one half of 1 per cent being all that the law allows for soft drinks. Saturday Sheriff Miller came over and loaded the i blitz, three barrels of it into his Ford j and took it to Howell. It looks like a j general clean-up in the county as arrests havti been made at Biighton and Fowleiville where drinks were being sold that contained ev*n more a^ohoj than blitz. It is not thought that the hotel proprietor was aware of the amount of alcohol contained in the blitz.

A Fine Planting of Rhododendron**—the Effect Is Worth Studying. FLORAL WORK IN SEASON By LIMA R. ROSE. Divide and set peony roots now. Fall planting Is best for them. Mixing compost rough for flower pots means without sifting It. Hurry your order for bulbs and plants. Have your borders and pots ready for them when they come. Roman hyacinths are best for late potting, as they come Into bloom much earlier than the Dutch varieties. Each bulb throws up several flower-spikes. Are your neighbors' plants finer and better than yours? If so, there is a reason for it, and you should seek to find out what it is and profit by the knowledge. Fall is the best time to take up, divide and reset old plants of herbaceous perennials, or to plant most new ones. They should become well-established before freezing weather as to root growth. More herbaceous pereunials are heavy feeders, and a thorough enrichment of the lower soil is of great importance. Top dressing every fall should be well attended to, and this should be forked into the soil In the spring, after the freezing is done. Winter protection is valuable for all plants, no matter how hardy they may be. The object of this is not to keep the plant roots warm, but to prevent the sun, especially in the spring, from warming and thawing the stalks and ground, thus exposing the plant cells to alternate thawing and freezing, which is very hurtful to them. Lay in a supply of potting soil now, so if the need arises for soil when the ground Is covered with snow or frozen, it can be met Equal parts of good garden soil, old, well-rotted manure leaf mold (or wood soil) and sand should be stirred well together, sifted through a coarse sieve and stored under shelter in boxes or barrels. Do not let the plants intended for the window garden stay out too long. Even a slight chill will hurt the tender ones, and do the hardy ones no good. Do not pinch out the buds after the first of November. Do not transfer the plants at once from the border to the sitting room. From the open air to the veranda or a bench on the sunny side of the house; from there to a shed or cool room as the frost approaches, then to some room where a near Are shall banish the actual cold; then place them in your windows and they will not realize the change so greatly. Crotons do not need a specially rich solL Mix together three parts of leaf mold, one of garden soil and one of thoroughly rotted manure. Heat and moist air are essential Full sunshine is liked, except In hot weather. te tk* In rlcb soil, with leaves often a yard across of a rich bronze-green, overlaid with a coppery luster. Ribbon beds cun be worked out with good effect by using different colors of the verbena In rows. Such beds are most pleasing when near the house or close to the path, where they can be looked down upon. SOME HINTS IN SEASON By E. VAN BENTHUYSEN. Give your garden crops Just the fertilizer they prefer. Remember that plants furnish us with edible leaves or stalks, flourish If given nitrogen; when the fruit, root kernel or bulb, is the edible part dose with ashes, potash or phosphoric acid. Keep an eye on the hotbed when the sun shines brightly. Too much heat will make the plants weak and spindly. Get the brush for the peas and poles for the beans when It is too wet to work in the garden. If you have no hotbed, sow seeds in shallow boxes placed in the south window. - Provide drainage, and water them when the soil feels dry to the touch. Do not plow too early in the spring. Walt until the ground is dry. Follow with the harrow until the soil is finely pulverized. Let the rows run north and south; this gives the most sun exposure, SOME EASILY MADE AND EFFECTIVE BEDS By L. M. BENNINGTON. A charming hedge is made by planting scarlet salvia In a row as 8 background, then a row of white nicotiana, v i s a blue ageratum as a border.

Evergreen trees can be planted later than deciduous trees, bu* the earlier all the work is done the better. Do not expose the roots of the trees or shrubs to be planted. Keep them covered with cool, damp earth until ready to plant. Innumerable trees die every year for lack of care when they are received. If you are not ready to plant them when they arrive take them from the box or package they come in and heel them in. Heeling consists of digging a trench in any convenient spot in the garden. Set the roots In the trench and cover the roots with earth, firming the soil around them. Dig the holes carefully where the tree or shrub is to be planted. Put a stake where you Intend planting and write the name on the stakes Work the soil well in around thf roots and water well. CYCLAMEN Given the proper conditions, the cyclamen is remarkably easy to grow. When well-grown it Is difficult to find a more useful plant for room and window decoration. The soil best suited to them is a fresh, turfy loam, with s fourth to a fifth of well-rotted horse manure, to which add some clean sand if the soil is heavy. Plant so as to leave the top of the bulb just below the surface. The flowers vary from deep red to pure white. PERENNIAL LARKSPUR One of the plants which has benefited much of late years from the scientific attention of growers Is the delphinium, that "perennial larkspur*' which gives such a grateful bit of shaded bine when grown correctly. A bed or border of deJpnintams will often remain in full flower over a period of three months, and they form one of the small but gallant hand of plants that «111 endure weather. ^.-»:r HOUSE RESOLVES TO ADJOURN MARCH 31 ARE MAKING SPECIAL EFFORT TO GET WORK THROUGH # ' ON DATE SET. SPECIAL SESSION LOOMS Prohibition, Budget, Insurance Code, Railroad and Numerous Other Bills to be Cared For. (From Our Special Correspondent.) Landing. Coincident with a desire to conclude work of this legislative session by March 31 and adjourn as far as business 1B concerned, on that date, the senate and house have suddenly become busy with the bills in front of them. The lawmakers express a belief that they can dispose of all matters of real statewide interest and go home before April showers start. The house has passed a resolution to set March 31 as the date for business adjournment, with April 19 and 20 as the dates for final adjournment. And although a special session looms up as a strong possibility the effort is to be made to get through work on the date set. To accomplish the result desired the legislature still has to handle practically the entire business of the session. The prohibition bills, which the general public thought would t e the first to appear in either house as the result of the November majority in favor of statewide prohibition, had not yet appeared when the house adopted the adjournment resolution and sent it over to the senate. It was the next day after that new bills appeared from the joint liquor committees to care for the prohibition situation. Three bills came forth as a final statement from the committees as to what they desired in the way of prohibition legislation. One was introduced bv Rep. Wiley, who had introduced earlier in the session the bill prepared by the Anti-Saloon league attorneys. It had eliminated all reference to the importation of liquors for personal use in Michigan, and in its search and seizure provisions and jts enactments against possession of Intoxicants was as bone dry as the original bone dry measure. The second bill was offered by Rep. McArthur, author of the original bone dry bill. It differed but little from the Wiley bill, except that the latter put the enforcement of the law in the hands of the food and drug commissioner, while the McArthur bill left enforcement to prosecuting attorneys of the various counties. The third bill was put In by Rep. Lewis, chairman of the house liquor committee. It changes the title of the dairy and food commissioner to that of food and drug commissioner; : invests him with the enforcement of the liquor.laws; extends his term of two years to four "and raises his salary after the present term from $2,000 to $3,600. Also it is provided that a special deputy attorney general shall assist the food and drug commissioner as far as the legal part of his work Is concerned. The slgaiflcance of the decision to vest the power to enforce the law in the dairy and food department rather than in the attorney-general's lies in the fact that the dairy and food commissioner can be removed at will by the governor and the latter, as the chief executive officer of the state, cannot escape responsibility for law enforcement Governor Sleeper therefore insisted that the enforcement be placed in some department that he could control. In order to get through work by March 21 the legislature not only has to care for the prohibition bills and the 30 or more appropriation bills, but has the insurance code, the railroad rate bill, the game law amendments, the budget commission bill, and many more measures that are considered important by some section or other of the membres. On the Insurance code alone there have been allowed fire separate hearings, to take care of the various Interests involved. AH of them promise to be well represented as their causes are taken up, Judging from advance notices. For Women's Suffrage. Suffrage for women atso baa come up again. Rep. Flowers, of Detroit, has introduced a bill to allow woman to vote for presidential electors and a constitutional amendmeat to allow them to vote at aB* siedena the as male voters. Maw Blfts Introsmeat. By Rap. Wood, to allow mayors cities to seise for fsel or food a of famine sad at t o s t s i s * of Arm* u» Klf! Tax Coirnnlawren. With one bill wiping out the staU, tax commission and another providing for local review of assessments to which objection Is made, Representative Andrew L. Deuel, of Harbor Springs, stepped into tbe spotlight. Deuel ia frank in admitting that he guesses his bill doesn't stand much show, but he wants to make the fight anyway, because of the treatment he alleges the state tax commission handed to the neighbors up his way. The tax commission "death blow" provides a substitute in the shape of a state board of assessors of three men, consisting of the governor and two citizens selected by himself, at $3,500 a year. It then provides new. methods for valuing the railroads and other corporations that pay a specific tax and would base this valuation an equipment and mileage and the relations between these factors and capitalization and bond issues after the realty and the personal property have been deducted. The review bill provides that a citj village, township or individual may appeal from the equalization of the board of supervisors or from the acts of an assessing o*Ecer by application to the probate ceurt, which must appoint a commission of three disinterested property holders to adjudicate the question. One Deer, With Horns. The "one buck law," which has many warm advocates and many warm opponents, has been reported out and bids fair to use up a day or two of legislative time in the arguments that will be had over its value to the state. It permits a hunter to kill only one deer in a season and that a buck deer. Advocates of the bill say that it will stop the killing of hunters by other hunters who shoot when they see a moving object in the woods. Opponents say that it will result only in killed does being left in the woods. The subject is one that is always certain to produce an endless argument in the legislature. That Pain Have you a lame back, aching day and night? Do you feel sharp pains after stooping? Are the kidneys sore? Ia their action irregular? Do you have headaches, backaches, rheumatic pains,—feel tired, nervous, all worn-out? Use Doan's Kidney Pills—the medicine recommended by so many people in this locality. Bead the experience that follows : A Michigan Case Jttnbrose Hatfield, B r o o k St., Eaton, Haplds. Mich., says: "My kidneys were disordered and I was tortured by sharp pains in my back. As I got older, the trouble b e c a m e worse and gradually the pains went up Into my limbs and shoulders. I w a s weak and depressed and had to be helped around. After other medicines f a i l e d Doan'8 Kidney Pills restored me to «*ood strength came back and I was able to return to work, free from pain.'Jhealth GetDeaa'sat 80c* Boa Constitutional Amendments. Two constitutional amendments are fairly certain to come up for a vote in April as a result of the last week's work in the legislature. One is the amendment empowering the state to buy and operate railways and the other the amendment to allow cities to establish municipal fuel yards. The first has gone through both houses. It Is designed to give the state power to compel the Detroit, Grand Haven & Milwaukee railroad, now a part of the Grand Trunk system, to pay taxes levied by the state. The other has been reported out for consideration and its advocates claim that a majority of both houses are pledged to its passage. An Oddity in Legislative Work. An oddity in legislative work occurred when Rep. Leigh ton cast the enly vote against a bill which he had introduced himself. The bill provided originally for raising witness fees in crcuit courts to $3 a day, and also provided for $1.60 fees for half days. The committee which had the bill In charge liked the half day Idea, but reduced the fees to |2 a day and $1 for a half day. Rep. Leighton fought to have the original fees put back in, but his efforts failed. He then voted against the bill, but every other member present, 79 in all, voted for i t D O A N ' S "VNKV FOSTER-MILBURN C O . BUFFALO. R Y.

A, simple way to ascertain one's ideal weight was told recently by Dr. Harvey G. Beck of the University of Maryland in an address before the Los Angeles County Medical association at Log Angeles, Cal. First, put down 110. Then multiply by 5¼ the number of inches by which one's height exceede five feet Add the result of the multiplication to the original 110 and the sum is one's "Ideal weight"—Popular Monthly. Must Have Warrants. The house killed the senate bill that would permit officers to make arrests without warrants. Honse members believed that police have enough power in the making of arrests now, and the bill, although it had passed the senate and was indorsed by the state association of prosecutors and sheriffs and by the state bar association, received two votes less than the 51 required to pass the house. Its friends ha dthe vote reconsidered and made a second effort to pass it, bat it lost nine votes and failed for good the second time up. A Financial Diagnosis. In a confidential little talk to a group of medical students an eminent physlcan took up the extremely Important matter of correct diagnosis of the maximum fee. r' "The best rewards," he said, "come, of course, to the established specialist. For instance, I charge twenty-five dollars for a call at^he residence, ten dollars for an office consultation, and five dollars for a telephone consultation." There was an appreciative and envious silence, and then a voice from the back of the amphitheater, slightly thickened, spoke: "Doc," it aaked, "how much do jon charge a feller for passing you on the street?" Road Building Bill. One of the most interesting road building bills introduced was put in by Hep.

Look back at your childhood days. Remembes>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 cling 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, hut gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless "fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take it; that it never falls 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. Doubts the Saying.

He did not believe In sanctity unassoclated with education. Under him religion created great monasteries, and monasteries created great schools. By those schools St. Patrick is a factor in the history of Europe. Even before he went to Ireland he had seen the days when Ostrogoths established themselves in Pannonia and Thrace, when the Visigoths sacked the Italian peninsula from end to end and carved out a Spanish kingdom within the domains of great Rome, when the Huns rode their blazing course up the Danube and the Rhine almost to the ocean; when the Vandals terrorised Spain and crushed the power of the empire In northern Africa, when the Salian Franks took firm grip of northern Gaul. His long life stretches over a period during which the whirlwind of barbaric invasions swept away ail but a remh*ant of the ancient learnings. But now the world went to school to Ireland, and the Irish brought their school to the world. Religion, the ancient classics, law, history, natural science, agriculture, manual training, the use of Implements and the forge, all came within the scope of these intense and practical scholars. Not without reason has the name of St. Patrick been held in veneration through these many generations. There is nowhere a teacher whose services for learning exerted so wide an Influence in a time so critical for all culture. There Is nowhere a statesman whose activity 30 completely reformed the character of any people. There is no/where such a national hero whose fame is sounded across fifteen centuries and can still stir emotions of enthusiasm far beyond his nation's shores. There is nowhere a saint whose teachings are blended like his with the destinies of his nation. Irish Leaders in American History. The Declaration of Independence ha 8 twelve Irish names. Matthew Thornton, James Smith and George Taylor were born in Ireland; John Hancock, William Whipple, Robert Treat Paine, George Read, Thomas Mc- Kean, Edward kelson and Thomas Lynch were of Irish parentage. The secretary of congress who prepared the immortal document from the rough draft of Thomas Jefferson was Charles Thompson, a native of Derry, while Captain Dunlop, still another Irishman, printed it and published it to the world, Captain Dunlop was the found- ( er of the first daily paper in Philadelphia. nnnnn ERIN'S HOLY PLACE For Fifteen Centuries The Reek Has Played Important Part in Country's History. IT*IS in the month July that the great unnuul pilgrimage of The Ueek takes place. The Reek, sometimes known as Croagh Patrick, is the Mount Zlon of the Emerald isle. For ou its summit St. Patrick is said to have wrung from the angel many promises for the salvation of the people he had made his own. For fifteen centuries this mountain has played an important part in the religious history of Ireland, and year by year people journey by the thousands up the mountain, which is about 3,000 feet high. It is a steep and difficult ascent, occupying the beat part of three hours, and most of the pilgrims make it in the evening, so as to hold their vigil on the summit. There is a little chapel on the mountain top. But it is so small that few can And a place therein, and most kneel outside. FALLING HAIR MEANS DANDRUFF IS ACTIVE Save Your Hair!

Adv. la tha IT WAS the foundation of St. Patrick's greatness that his renovation of Ireland was not a revolur, tion. He left old institutions and traditions untouched, wherever they could be purged of a taint of superstition. There were septs and clans, laws and Judges, bards and kings before him, and they continued after him. He built his church carefully. To disarm political opposition he appealed straight to the heads of the clans. He aimed at the creation of a native clergy. He tried to give every community a place of worship. At his death 385 churches lay along the routes his journeys had taken; 355 WHY THE SHAMROCK IS WORN Catted States army In ISM. Custom Mot Only in Honor of the Saint, but in Romcmbranos of Days of paHtine, Few who put a sprig of shamrock in their buttonhole on the 17th of March realise that these Utile green leaves snore than once kept the Irish from death ia dire famine times. In 1506 the poet 8peneer declares that the war had brought the miserable inhabitants of Mnntter to a point where they "flock to a plot of watercreases or amamrocks u t o a feast.*' In U s "View of Ireland" he deacstbes this as the depth of rain to which a land formerly having abundant corn and cattle had bean plunged. The troabrous times continued and the shamrock Is mentioned as aa article of food again and again. Fyaea Morrison, ia UBS, writes that the herb is stiO "being snatebad oat of the dltefaes for food.** Withers la -Abases Strlpt sad Whtpf (ISIS) sings: i a a S s f S s T e e e . I Remember Native Land. No other people coming to our shores have displayed toward their native land a love more wholesome than the Irish. They keep their children fed upon the tales of the fairies and "little people" who are good to the good children, and whose wrath descends upon the children who are not doing right. 5*St5tJt-5* Church and Tower at Kelts. The celebrated Book of Kells was written there in the sixth century. This church Is famous for Its historical associations. The town of Kells originated in a monastery founded by Saint Columba. nnnnn Ireland's Towers. The towers, which are numerous throughout Ireland, have been the subject of much controversy among antiquarians.. They are thought to have been used as a means of defense. Not until later was the shamrock used as the national emblem of Brln. Nathaniel Golgan, member of the Royal Irish academy, says the earliest record of the "wearing o* the green** is contained in the diary of Thomas Dlnely, who wrote in 1687: •17th day of March yearly is S t Patrick, an immovable feast, when the Irish of all stations and conditions wear crosses in their hats, some of pins, some of green ribbon, and the vulgar superstitioualy wear ahamroajnea, three leaved grass, which they likewise eat (they say to cause a sweet breath). The common people and s a v a n t s also demand their Patnek's groat of their nmeters, which they go expressly to town, though half a docea miles oil, to spend, where sometimes it amounts to a piece of eight or a cobb apiece, and very few . of the sesloua are found sober at I night.'' A later reference tp the wearing of the ahamrock appears In the works of Dr. Caleb Thra&eUL a botanist of the century. Ha says: tha plant la their in nuMMSsanratUai of S t Patrick,] The Reek. The sermons preached are In Gaelic, and the masses continue from daybreak until noon. St. Patrick is on record as having visited The Reek In A. D. 441 and spent forty days on its summit, hidden from the world by the mists hanging about the lower portion of the mountain. The legend says that he was assailed by huge black birds, which only took to flight when he rang his bell against them. The bell rolled down the mountain, but an angel came and restored it to the saint. All the men of Erin heard this ringing of the bell, and it is stated now that it is often heard again. Afterward St. Patrick was visited by angels, and from their leader he wrested the following pledges: That as many souls should be saved as could fill the horizon which he looked upon; that on every Thursday seven souls and on every Saturday twelve souls should be freed from purgatory; that whoever recited the last verse of his hymn constantly should suffer no torments in the next world, and that on the last day he should be appointed to sit in Judgment on the sins of Gael. HHHHH Four or Five-Leaved Shamrock? Some say the four-leaf shamrock is the shamrock of luck, and others that it is the five leaved one that holds the magic touch. This latter is rare and prized and is said to grow from a decaying body, as the nettle Is said to spring from buried human remains, The shamrock of luck must be fpund "without searching, without seeking." When thus discovered, it should be cherished and preserved as an invincible talisman. "believing that St. Patrick used the three-lobed leaf to explain the Chris- j tlan Trinity. This belief is generally j said by antiquarians to have arisen in the fourteenth century, almost a thousand years after the time of Patritius," who died in A. D. 493. In that year, says the Annale of Ulster, "Patritius, the arch-apostle of the Scoti (Irish) rested on the 16th day of the calends of April (March 17) in the one hundred and twentieth year of his life, the sixtieth year after he had come to Ireland to baptise the Scoti." nnnnn Many Irish Flags. Quite a number of flags have figured in Irish history. Not the least popular among these is the flag exhibiting three golden erowas imposed on a blue ground. This flag was accepted after the Norman invasion In the year 1170. as the ensign of Ireland, the three crowns representing the kingdoms of DeauMad, Ormond and Thomond. It was retained until 1547 when Henry VUl abohahart It and ssaV atitatsd the harp, 77 SICK Tapnsr Gentiy 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 intestines, 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 Casoaret to-night will surely straighten you out by morning. They work while you sleep—a 10-cent box from your druggist means your head clear, stomach sweet and your liver and bowels regular for months. Adv.

She sat on a stone bench with her profile to tbe audience, her back to the right of the proscenium arch; so that she could not, without turning, have noticed the entrance of Ember and her husband. A shy. light, deathlessly youthful figure in pale and flowing garments that molded themselves fluently to her sweet and girlish body. In a posture of pensive meditation: she was nothing less than adorable. Whi taker could not take his eyes from her, for sheer wonder and delight He was only vaguely conscious that Max. at length satisfied, barked a word to that effect to an unseen electrician yff to the left, and waving his hand with a gesture Indelibly associated with his personality, dragged a light cane-seated chair to the left of the proscenium and -fat htynjelf down. "All ready T he demanded to a sharp and Irritable voice. The woman on the marble step nodded imperceptibly. "Go ahead," snapped the manager. An actor advanced from the wings, paused and addressed the seated woman. His lines were brief. She lifted her head with a startled air. listening. He ceased to speak, and her voice of golden velvet filled the bouse with the flowing beauty of Its unforgettably sweet modulations. Beyond the footlights a handful of sophisticated and skeptical habitues of the theater forgot for the moment their ingrained incredulity and thrilled In sympathy with the wonderful rapture of that voice of eternal Youth. "Whitaker himself for the time forgot that he was the husband of this woman and her lover; she moved before his vision In the guise of some divine creature, divinely unattainable, a dream woman divorced utterly from any semblance of reality. That opening scene was one perhaps unique In the history of the stage. Composed by Max in some mad, poetical moment of Inspired plagiarism, It not only owned a poignant and enthralling beauty of imagery, but it moved with an almost Grecian certitude, with a significance extraordinarily direct and devoid of circumlocution, seeming to lay bare the living tissue of Immortal drama. But with the appearance of other characters there came a change: the rare atmosphere of the opening began to dissipate perceptibly. The action clouded and grew vague. The auditors began to feel the flutterings of uncertainty In the air. Something was failing to cross the footlights. The sweeping and assured gesture of the accomplished playwright faltered: a clumsy bit of construction was damningly exposed; faults of characterization multiplied depresslngly. Sara Law herself lost an Indefinable proportion of her rare and provoking charm; the strangeness of falling to hold her audience In an Ineluctable grasp seemed at once to nettle and distress her. Max himself seemed suddenly to wake to the amazing fact that there was something enormously and irremediably wrong; he began with exasperating frequency to halt the action, t) interrupt scenes with advice and demands for repetition. He found It Impossible to be still, to keep his seat or control his rasping, Irritable voice. Subordinate characters on the stage lost their heads and either forgot to act or overacted. And then—Intolerable climax!— of a sudden somebody In the orchestra chairs laughed in outright derision in the middle of a passage meant to be tenderly emotional. The voice of Sara Law broke and fell. She stood trembling and unstrung. Max, without a word, turned on his heel and swung out of sight Into the wings. Four other actors on the stage, aside from Sara Law, hesitated and drew together in doubt and bewilderment And then, abruptly, with no warning whatever, the illusion of gloom in the auditorium and moonlight in the postseenium was rent away by the glare of the full complement of electric lights installed in the house. A thought later, while still all were blinking and gasping with surprise, Max strode Into view just behind the footlights. Halting, he swept the array of auditors with an ominous and truculent stare. So quickly was this startling change cooaummated that Whitaker I ad no mora than time to realise the reappearance of the manager before ha caught his wrathful and venomous glance fixed to his own bewildered ftea. And something la the light that flickered wildly behind Max's eyes reminded him so strongly of a similar «iUii—Inn ha had remarked in the mym at IHwauwd. the night the Utter toad oaeu captured by Bulbar and lut, tfct* ! • alarm n* half Ma Simultaneously he saw Max spring toward the box. with a distorted and snarling countenance, He was tugging at something in his pocket. It appeared in the shape of a heavy plstoL Instantly Whitaker was caught and tripped by Ember and sent sprawling on the floor of the box, As this happened, he heard the voice of the firearm, sharp and vicious—a single report. Unhurt, be picked himself up in time to catch a glimpse of Max, on the stage, momentarily helpless in the embrace of a desperate and frantic woman who had caught his arms from behind and, presumably, had so deflected his arm. In the same breath Ember, who had leaped to the railing round the box, threw himself across the footlights with the lithe certainty of a beast of prey and, seemingly in as many deft motions, knocked the pistol from the manager's hand, wrested him from the arms of the actress, laid him flat and knelt upon him. With a single bound Whitaker followed him to the stage; in another he had his wife in his arms and was soothing her first transports of semihysterical terror. . . . It was possibly a quarter of an hour later when Ember paused before a door In the ground-floor dressing-room gangway of the Theater Max—a door distinguished by the initials "S. L." In the center of a golden star. With some hesitation with even a little diffidence, he lifted a hand and knocked. At once the door was opened by the maid, Ellse. Recognizing Ember, she "I Want to See the End of It All." smiled and stood aside, making way for him to enjj^r the small, curtained lobby. "Madam—and monsieur," she said with smiling significance, "told me to show you In at once, -Monsieur Ember." Prom behind the curtains, Whltaker's voice lifted up Impatiently: "That you, old' man? Come right In I" Nodding to the maid, Ember thrust aside the portieres and stepped into the brightly lighted dressing room, then paused, bowing and smiling his self-contained, tolerant smile: in appearance as imperturbable and wellgroomed as though he had just escaped from the attentions of a valet, rather than from a furious hand-tohand tussle with a vicious monomaniac Mary Whitaker, as yet a little pale and distrait, and still la costume, was reclining on a chaise-longue. Whitaker was standing close beside his wife; his face the theater of conflicting emotions; Ember, at least, thought with a shrewd glance to recognise a pulsating light of Joy beneath a mask of Interest and distress and a flash of embarrassment. "I am Intruding T he suggested gravely, with a slight turn as if offering to withdraw. "No."' The word faltering on the Upa of Mary Whltakar was lost in an emphatic Iteration by Whltakar. M81t downl" he Insisted. "As If we'd let you escape now, after you'd kept us here In suspense r He offered a chair, but Ember first advanced to take the hand held out to him by the woman on tha rhsles •Ton are feeling mora composed r ha inquired. Bw Haas mat his bravely. 1 am— troubled, perhaps—but happy," she said. "Then I am very glad," he said, smiling at the delicate color that enhanced her exquisite beauty as she made the confession. "I had hoped as much." He Looked from the one to the other. "You have . . . made up your mindsT The wife answered for both: "It is settled, dear friend: I can struggle no longer. I thought myself a strong woman; I have tried to believe myself a genius bound upon the wheel of an Ill-starred destiny; but I find I am"— the glorious voice trembled slightly— "only a woman In love and no stronger than her %ve." **I am very glad," Ember repeated, "for both your sakes. It's a happy consummation of my dearest wishes." "We owe you everything," Whitaker said with feeling, dropping an awkward hand on the other's shoulder. "It was you who threw us together, down there on the Great West bay, so that we learned to know one another . . . "I plead guilty to that little p l o t - yes," Ember Laughed. "But, best of all, this comes at just the right time— the tightest time, when there can no longer be any doubts or questions or misunderstandings, no ground for further fears and apprehensions, when the destroying angel' of your Illstarred destiny,' my dear"—he turned to the woman—"Is exorcised—banished— proscribed—" "Max—I" Whitaker struck in explosively. "—is on his way to the police station, well guarded," Ember affirmed with a nod and a grim smile. "I have his confession, roughty jotted down, but signed, and attested by several witnesses. . . . I'm glad you were out of the way; It was rather a painful scene, and disorderly; It wouldn't have been pleasant for Mrs. Whitaker. . . . We had the deuce of a time clearing "the theater: human curiosity is a tremendously persistent and resistant force. And then I had some trouble dealing with the misplaced loyalty of the staff of the house. . . . However, eventually I got Max to myself— alone, that Is, with several men 1 could depend on. And then I heartlessly put him through the third degree— forestalling my friends, the police. By dint of asserting as truths and personal discoveries what I merely suspected, I broke down his denials. He owned up. doggedly enough, and yet with that singular pride which 1 have learned to associate with some phases of homicidal mania. . . . I won't distress you vslth details: the truth Is that Max was quite mad on the subject of his luck; he considered it, as I suspected, indissolubly associated with Sara Law. When poor Custer committed suicide, he saved Max from ruin and Innocently showed him the way to save himself thereafter, when he felt In peril, by assassinating Hamilton and, later, Thurston. Drummond only cheated a like fate, and you"—turning to Whitaker—"escaped by the narrowest shave. Max hadn't meant to run the risk of putting you out of the way unless he thought it absolutely necessary, but the failure of his silly play In rehearsal tonight coupled with the discovery that yon were In the theater, drove him temporarily Lnsane with hate, chagrin and jealousy." Concluding, Ember rose. **I must follow-hlm now to the police station, . . . I shall see you both soon again—?" The woman gave him both her hands. "There's no way to thank you,** she said—"our dear, dear friend I" "No way,H Whitaker echoed regretfully. "No way?" Ember laughed quietly, holding ber hands tightly clasped. *3ut I see yon together—happy— Oh, believe me, t am fully thanked V Bowing, he touched his lips gently to both hands, released them with a little sigh that ended In a contented chuckle, exchanged a short firm grasp with Whitaker, and left them. . . . Whitaker, following almost Immediately to the gangway, found Ember had already left the theater. For some minutes he wandered to and fro In the gangway, pausing now and again on the borders of the deserted stage, There were but few of the bouse staff visible, and those few were methodically busy with preparations to dose up. Beyond the dismal gutter of the footlights the auditorium yawned cavemoua and shsdowy, peopled only by rows of craira ghostly in their dust-cloths. The street entrances were already closed, locked and dark. On the stage a single cluster stand of electric bu'bs made visible the vast gloomy dome of the flies and the whitewashed walla against which sections of scenery were stacked like cards. An electrician la bis id set clothes lounged beside the doorkeeper's cubicle, at the stage «-»ifroit smoking a cigarette and conferring with the doorman while subjecting Whitaker to a curious and antagonistic stare, The muffled rumble of their voices was the only sound audible, aside from an occasional racket of bootheels in the gangways as one actor after another left his dressing room and hastened to the street keen-set tor the clash of gossiping tongues In theatrical clubs and restaurants. Gradually the building grew more and more empty and silent until at length Whitaker was left alone with the shadows and the two employees, These lost betrayed signs of impatience. He himself felt a little sympathy for their temper. Women certainly did take an unconscionable time to dress 1 . . . At length he heard them hurrying along the lower gangway, and turned to join his wife at the stage entrance, Ellse passed on, burdened with two heavy handbags, and disappeared into the rain-washed alleyway. The electrician detached his shoulders from the wall, ground his cigarette under heel and lounged over to the switchboard. Mary Whitaker turned her face, shadowy and mystical, touched with her faint and inscrutable smile, up to her husband's. "Walt" she begged In a whisper. "I want to see"—her breath checked— "the end of It alL" They heard hissings and cllcklnga at the switchboard. The gangway lights vanished In a breath. The single cluster stand on the stage disappeared —and the house was blotted out utterly with its extinguishment There remained alight only the single dull bulb In the doorman's cubicle. Whitaker slipped an arm round his wife. She trembled within his embrace. "Black out" she said In a gentle and regretful voice: "the last exit: Curtain—End of the Play!" "No," he said In a voice of sublime confidence—"no; It's only the prologue curtain. Now for the play, dear heart . . . the real play . . , life . . . love . . ." THE END. TO FARM LABORERS Offering 160 Acres to Farm Hands. ORIGIN OF POTATO UNKNOWN Strong Reasons, However, for Belief That It Is Native of Mountainous Districts of America. The question of where the potato li indigenous and where introduced by man has never been strictly answered. It seems sure, however, that the potato is o native of the mountainous districts of tropical and subtropical America, from Chile to Mexico, and even as far north as the southern part of Colorado. Data concerning the known use of the potato for food are not very definite. It probably was first taken to Europe from Peru by Spaniard! early in the sixteenth century, ant! spread from Spain to Holland, Bur* gundy and Italy, though cultivated only as a curiosity in a few garden* and little known or thought of. In th# Complete Gardener, published In 1T1S* It is not mentioned. As a food it war first used for pigs and cattle; then, on account of its great yield, it was suggested that It might be useful fot the poor and prevent famine"', due tc the failure of the grain crops. As earl} as 1668 the Eoyal society of Londot adopted measures to encourage its cul* tlvation in England. It spread quicklj In Ireland, but It was not until the middle of the eighteenth century that it acquired any real importance on th« continent of Europe. Of its first cultivation as a crop in North America eves less is known. Wrong Figure of Speech.

A novel means of solving the problem has been evolved by the Canadian Government at Ottawa on Wednesday last, when it was decided to practically bonus every farmhand going to Canada, by giving him 160 acres free as a homestead, and to allow the time he would be working out for, the good wages offered, to count as residence duties on the homestead. Western Canada has been a big producer of grain and it Is estimated that there is a shortage of over thirty thousand men, necessary to produce an average crop In 1917. This shortage has been caused by so many young men having left the farms to go to war, and it Is essential to make an unprecedented offer of this kind, to fill their places on the land at once. It has been required in the past to do three years' duties on homesteads to get title, but an additional inducement has been offered by practically reducing this term to two years. As explained by an official of the Canadian Government, Canada's need for farm laborers is Intense, and exceptional inducements are J>eing offered to get the needed farm workers at once. A farmhand will make his entry for one of the 160-acre farms, satisfy the Government that he is working for a farmer and that time will apply as residence on the land filed for, just the same as If he was actually living on it—Advertisement. CALLS WOMEN WEAK SISTERS Good Looking, but Physically Unfit, Is the Assertion Made by Aged. Viennese. American women are good looking and clever, but not very strong physically, according to the verdict passed upon them by Mrs. Charlotte de Gollere Davenport, who spoke before the Woman's club here. Mrs. Davenport Is in her ninety-fourth year, has a son seventy-four years old, and is the mother of 20 children. She was graduated from the University of Vienna as a professor of hygiene, which, she says, was a great distinction, as "the Austrian universities are hard on women." It was In teaching the women of New York fencing that Mrs. Davenport became impressed by their phyhsical weakness, and warns American women, in consequence, to build themselves up physically. ^ That wgiuen are not thinking very earnestly was another assertion of the visitor. She believes in women possessing strong individuality, of being original and independent as thinkers, and her short, informal talk encouraged women to cultivate such tendencies. "All are supposed to have five senses," the speaker said, "but some women do not seem to have any. Instead of subtracting from that number, they should be adding to them two more. The sixth sense is to know yourself, and the seventh sense is to know human nature in general—to know humanity," Mrs. Davenport said. —New Orleans Times-Picayune, Handling the Receiver.

It is getting to be a long drawn out story, the way that Western Canadian farmers have made money. Many of them a few years ago, came to the country with little more than their few household effects, probably a team of horses and a cow or two, and sufficient money to do them for a few months, until they got a start. Hundreds of such can be pointed out, who today have splendid homes, well equipped farms, the latest machinery and an automobile. Here is the case of A. E, Merriam, formerly of Devil's Lake, N. D. He didn't leave there because the land was poor, or farming not a success, for all who know that country are aware that it is an excellent country. He wanted to expand, to take advantage of the cheap land that Western Canada offers. And that same story has appealed to hundreds of others who have had like success with Mr. Merriam. But his story, and he signs it, too, i s : "I came to Alberta in the Spring of 1909 from Devil's Lake, North Dakota, locating on my farm near Dalroy. "I arrived with six head of horses and two head of cattle and about $1,500. Since then, I have increased my live stock to seven head, of horses, four head of cattle, and about one hundred head of hogs, a four-roomed house, good barn with all modern Improvements, a feed grinder, elevator, chopper, fanning mill, etc. I have increased my original capital at least four times more since coming here. "From the feeding of hogs during the last year, I had a gross return of $5,000. "I first started grain farming, but during the past four years I have made hogs my specialty, and you may see by the foregoing statement for 1916 that I have not done so badly. "Land has increased at least twenty per cent in value during the past few years, now selling for from $25 to $35 per acre, w l ^ nominal taxes of about $27 a quarter section yearly. "The climate here Is better than Dakota in that we do not have so much dry wind; the winters are similar to Dakota. "As for farming in general, the growing and feeding of live stock Is more sure than the grain farming, if continued year after year, and if every farmer follows this he will be ahead of the grain growers in the long run. Taking everything Into consideration, I feel satisfied with my success In Alberta." (Sgd.) A. E. MERRIAM. Dalroy, Alberta, .Tan. 12th, 1917. There will be the greatest demand for farm labor in Western Canada during the early spring, and, in fact, all season until November, and the highest wages will be pRid. There Is an absolute guarantee by the Canadian Government that those who go to Canada for this purpose need have no fear of conscription.—Advertisement. TO EQUIP MILITIA IN EVENT OF WAR L E G I S L A T U R E W O U L D G U A R D M E N A G A I N S T S H O R T A G E OF N E C E S S I T I E S . RESOLUTION IS ADOPTED Federal Government should Provide Equipment but Solons Want Men to Have Every Comfort. (From Our Special Correspondent.) Lansing. If there la danger of war and Michigan troops are to be called into service, the house of representatives wishes to save thorn from the consequences of equipment shortages and other lacks that have occurred on j previous occasions when the federal ! government was supposed to havejproj- vided for the comfort and safety of the men. The- note took the form of a resolution, offered by Rep. Lemire, in which the adjutant general of the state troops, Major Bersey, is asked for information of the troops. Major Bersey, however, is not in position to give much Information because the Michigan brigade is split between the home stations and the border. The companies that have returned from the border have not yet completed their accounts, and the government has now on hand some supplies that would be distributed immediately if the troops were needed. Moreover the state, under the new militia act, has nothing to do with the personal equipment of the men. Everything is supposed to be furnished by the federal government. Representative Lemire's idea is that if such conditions as prevailed at Grayling part of the time, could be known in advance, the state could take steps to see that the men were Baved from any suffering. Such work by the Btate, however, would be unofficial as far as the federal government is concerned. The resolution was adopted unanimously and without a word of debate. Members declared freely that if Michigan's soldiers were to be called again, they should go with every comfort possible. This Is Palm Beach.

The definite rlgliv-otway by which the Pennsylvania rallroal will enter the city of Detroit was disclosed, when Attorney Henry E. Bodraan, general counsel for the new railroad, filed with the Michigan railroad commission articles of association of the Pennsylvania Detroit Railroad Co., a $5,000,000 corporation, which will build a line between Toledo and Detroit over which the Pennsylvania will run Its traffic. Prom Toledo the new road will build its tracks to the Michigan state line, crossing it at a point just east of the Ann Arbor railroad's line into Ohio. From there the new road will run north through Monroe county to Carleton, Ash township, then through the townships of Huron, Brownstown, Taylor and Ecorse, through the village of Oakland and thence Into Detroit. On the question of the Issuance of the $5,000,000 capital stock and its sale, the railroad commission alone Is the sole judge and on this matter a hearing will be held before the commission Maroh 15. At this time the entire plans of the new road will be laid before the commission. Customary Adjournment Talk. With the coming of the month of March the usual talk among the legislators at this stage of a legislative session in relation to determininig on a date for adjournment of the session, has begun. A house resolution has been offered and laid on the table that seeks adjournment of regular business sessions on March 80. No one believes that this can be accomplished, but all a r e operating on the theory that the presence of such a resolution will help to jpeed up legislative workin the senate Lieut Gov. Dickinson has asked the senators to get busy with their committee work and so facilitate work on the floor of the senate. New Bills Introduced. Rep. Wood has in trod need a bill to abolish t h e office of state oil inspector. Rep. Lewis has introduced a bill to extend the time for the payment of state taxes to Feb. 20 of each year. Bills have appeared In the house and senate for the creation of the position of Public Relief Officer, to work under the state hoard of charities and correction and koep tab on all public charitiea, getting annual report! on what each has done and is teteg O. 8. 8. & A.

Atittniic railroad. It ha> arranged to continue the taking of testimony and bring Lh« casu up to date. Special Mabtwr Baker's nudingo w«r* based on testimony up to June. 1916. A. B. Eldredjje, attorney for the South Shore, has agreed with the attorney general's force to continue Lhe taking of testimony and it ia ex pected that it can be completed within three months. The whole case then will be argued out before United States District Judge .Sessions in Grand Kapide. Whatever the decision there it Is expected that the case will go to the United States supreme court for final decision. Amendments to Election Laws. Election matters are getiing mucn attention in tne senate these days. One senate bill has been reported out of committee that provides for the direct election of delegates to national party conventions, instead of their selection in Btate conventions. It also provideB that the delegates he paid $50 each for their services to their parties in attending t h e conventions. Another election amendment hill seeks to change the time of t h e state primaries, held every two years, from the last Tuesday in August to the first Tuesday in September. Campaigners who would like to have more trme for the campaign than the present primary law allows them wanted the election held earlier in August, hut farmer members of the senate objected that such a change would bring the election at harvest time and thi3 objection appears to have killed the early primary date. House Opposes Pensions. The house has gone on record as opposed to pensions. It voted 83 to 3 for the Evans bill prohibiting pen. sions to retired state employes, while its committees have killed the proposed pensioning of circuit judges after 25 years' service, and other pension proposals. Efforts to obtain salary raises for numerous state employes also are having hard sledding. The department of labor bill sought In. creases all along the line for its force, starting with a $5,000 salary for the commissioner and grading down on the others. The senate committee has reduced the commissioner's proposed salary to $3,500 and bis deputy's proposed salary to $2,500. 8tat« Fuel Commissioner Proposed. A bill to create a state fuel commissioner, who will wath the coal situation In behalf of the whole state and be prepared to expedite shipments to all parts of Michigan, has been Introduced by Rep. Andrew F. Toepel, of Detroit. The Soldier'B Home at Grand Rapids is seeking an extra appropriation of $2,500 to build a coal house for the storage of fuel, so that it will not again be In danger of freezing up in the winter months. Joint resolutions have been introduced In the senate and In t h e house calling for a constitutional amendment to allow cities to own and ope rate municipal fuel yards. Railroads Seek Fare increase. A bill from railroad sources aeekng an increase in passenger fare rates from 2 cents a mile to 2 1-2 cents in the lower peninsula and 3 cents in the upper peninsula has been offered and is sure to start a battle royal, the same as it did two years ago. Now the roads state they are making an appeal to the people for Justice; that they have nothing to sell except transportation and are held down to a low rate on that which is not subject to change, while everything they need to conduct their business has sky' rocketed n price. Change in Game Law. The first battle over the game laws wound up in the passage by both the senate and the house of the zone bill for closed seasons at different times in various parts of the state. Under this bill, if one or more counties want certain game protected, the game department, on petition of the supervisors of the counties concerned, can hold a hearing and afterwards, if the situation warrants and the public domain commission approves, can order a closed season in the district desirinf i t Pure Booze Bill. Rep. Culver, for the state food department, has introduced a bill to give the food commissioner power to see that no adulterated liquors are brought into the state for medicinal, sacramental, mechanical, scientific or chemical purpose* after t h e state 'goes dry. This Is the "pure boose" bill which former Food Commissioner "Jim" Helme says win be needed more in a dry state than in a wet state.

No other man has ever known or ever will. But I had to tell you the truth. It seems that the only thing toy career had left uncalloused waa my fundamental sense of honesty. So I had to come and tell you." And still he held silence, attentive, but with a set face that betrayed nothing of the tenor of his thoughts. Almost timidly, with nervously fumbling fingers, she extracted from her pocketbook a small ticke. ei»v-"->pe. "Ma* was afraid you imj^r upset the performance again, as you &id on my last appearance, Ilugh," she said; "but I assured him it was just the shock of recognizing you that bowled me over. So I've brought you a box for tomorrow night. I want you to use It—you and Mr. Ember." He broke in with a curt monosyllable: " W h y r "Why—why because—because I want you—I suppose It's simply my vanity— to see me act. Perhaps you'll feel a little less hardly toward me If you see *that I am really a great actress, that I give you up for something bigger than just love—" "What rot!" he said with an odd, short laugh. "Besides, I harbor no resentment." She stared, losing a little color, eyes darkening with apprehension. "I did hope you'd come," sh*e murmured. "Oh, I'll come," he said with spirit "Wild horses couldn't keep me away." "Really, Hugh? And you don't mind? Oh, I'm so glad 1" "I really don't mind," he assured her with a strange smile. "But . . . would you mind excusing me one moment? I've forgotten something very Important." "Why, certainly . . . " He was already at the telephone in the hallway, just beyond the livingroom door. It was impossible to escape overhearing his words. The woman listened perforce with, In the beginning, a little visible wonder, then with astonishment, ultimately with a consternation that shook her with violent tremblings. "Hello," said Whitaker; "get me Rector two-two-hundred. , . . "Hello? Rector two-two-hundred? North German Lloyd? . . . This Is Mr. H. M. Whitaker.

But when he turned back into the living room he found awaiting him a quiet and collected woman. "Why did you do that?" she asked evenly. "Because," said Whitaker, "Tve had my eyes opened.

The hall door slammed before he could reach I t CHAPTER X I X . Ore Way O u t Toward eight In the evening, after a day-long search through ail his accustomed haunts, Ember'ran Whitaker to earth In the dining room of the Primordial, The young man, alone at table, was in the act of topping off an excellent dinner with a still more excellent cordial and a superexcellent cigar. He wore rough tweeds, and they were damp and baggy; his boots were muddy; his hair was a trifle disorderly. The ensemble made a figure wildly incongruous to the soberly splendid and stately dining hall of the Primordial club, with Its sparse patronage of members in evening dress. Ember, himself as severely beautiful In black and white as the ceremonious livery of today permits a man to be, was wonder-struck at sight of Whitaker in such unco Liven tional guise, at such a time, In such a place. With neither invitation nor salutation, he slipped into a chair on the other side of the table, and stared. Whitaker smiled benignantly upon him, and called a waiter. Ember, always abstemious, lifted his hand and smiled a negative smile. Whitaker dismissed the waiter. "Well . . . ?" he inquired cheerfully. "What right have you got to look like that?" Ember demanded. "The right of every free-born American citizen to make an ass of himself according to the dictates of his conscience. Tve been exploring the dark backwards and abysm of the Bronx— afoot. Got caught In the rain on the way home. Was late getting back, and dropped in here to celebrate." 'Tve been looking for you everywhere, since morning." "I suspected you would be. That's why I went walking—to be lonesome and thoughtful for once In a way." Ember stroked his chin with thoughtf u l fingers. "You've heard the news, then?" "In three ways," Whitaker returned, with calm. "How's that—three ways?" "Through the newspapers, the billboards, and from the lips of my wife." Ember opened his eyes wide. "You've been to see her?" "She called this morning—" But Ember interrupted, thrusting a ready and generous hand across the table: "My dear man, I am glad I" Whitaker took the proffered hand readily and firmly. "Thank you. . . . I was saying: she called this morning to inform me t h a t though wedded once, we must be strangers now—and evermore!" "But you—of course—yon argued that nonsense out of her head." "To the contrary—again." "But—my dear man I—you said <you were celebrating; you permitted me to congratulate you Just now—H "The point Is," said Whitaker, with a bland and confident grin; "I've succeeded in arguing that nonsense out of my head—not hers—mine." Ember gave a helpless gesture. T m afraid this is one of my stupid nights . . ." "I mean t h a t though Mary ran away from me, wouldn't listen to reason, I have, in the course of an afternoon's hard tramping, come to the conclusion that there is nothing under the sun which binds me to sit back and accept whatever treatment she purposes according me by courtesy of Jules Max." Whitaker bent forward, his countenance discovering a phase of seriousness hitherto masked by his twisted smile. "1 mean Tm tired of all this poppycock. Unless I'm an Infatuated ass, Mary loves me with all her h e a r t She has made up her mind to renounce me partly because Max has worked upon her feelings by painting some lurid picture of his Imminent artistic and financial damnation if she leaves him, partly because she believes, or has been led to believe, In this 'destroying angel' moonshine. Now she's got to listen to reason. So, likewise. Max." "You're becoming more ^nman word by word," commented Ember with open approval. "Continue; elucidate; I can understand how a fairly resolute lover with the gift of gab can talk a weak-minded, fond female Into denying her pet superstition; but bow you're going to get, around Max pa a n a my comprehension. The man unqnesttonably has ber under contract--" "But yon forgot his god Is Mammon," Whitaker p«t ta. **M«* will to anything in the world for money. Taffeta resides the ksraei of m j pftam, It's simplicity lu*erf : 1 ai suing, to buy him." "Buy Max I" "Body—artistic soul—and breeches," Whitaker affirmed confidently. "Impossible I" "You forget how well fixed I am. What's the use ot my owning half ths gold In New Guinea. If It won't buy me what I already o\v*i by every moral and legal right?" "He won't listen to you; you don't know Max." "I'm willing to lay you a small bet that there will be no tirst performance at the Theater Max tomorrow night." "You'll never persuade him—" 'I'll buy the show outright and my wife's freedom to boot—or else Max will begin to accumulate the local color of a hospital ward." Ember smiled grimly. "You're boginning to convince even me. When, may I ask, do you propose to pull off this sporting proposition?" "Do you know where Max can be found tonight?" "At the theater—" "Then the matter will be arranged at the theater between this hour and midnight" "I doubt if you succeed in getting the ear of the great man before midnight; however, I'm not disposed to quibble about a few hours," "But why shouldn't I?" "Because Max is going to be the busiest young person In town tonight And that Is why I've been looking for you. . . . Conforming to his custom, he's been giving an advance glimpse of the production to the critics and a few friends In the form of a final grand dress rehearsal tonight Again, In conformance with his custom, he has honored me with a bid. I've been chasing you all day to rind out if you cared to go—" "Eight o'clock and a bit after," Whitaker interrupted briskly, consulting his watch. "Here, boy," he hailed a passage page; "call a taxlcab for toe." And then, rising alertly: "Come along; I've got to hustle home; and make myself look respectable enoush for the occasion; but at that, with luck, I fancy we'll be there before the first curtain." This mood of faith, of self-reliance and assured optimism held unruffled throughout the dash homeward, his hurried change of clothing and the ride to the theater. Nothing that Ember, purposely pessimistic, could say or do availed to diminish the high buoyancy of his humor. He main- " I Am Afraid of. You." tained a serene faith In his star, a spirited temper that refused to recognize obstacles in the way of his desire. In the taxlcab, en route to the Theater Max, he contrived even to distil a good omen from the driving autumnal downpour itself. "On such a day as this," he told his doubting friend, "I won her first; on such a day I shall win, her Anew, finally and for all time I. . . . Prom Broadway to Sixth avenue.

Black Out The auditorium was In almost toirw darkness. A single voice was audlblt from the stage that confronted It like some tremendous, moonlight canvas in a huge frame of tarnished gold. They stole silently round the orchestra seats to the stage-box—the same box that Whitaker had on the former occasoin occupied in company with Max. They succeeded In taking possession without attracting attention, either from the owners of that scanty scattering of shirt bosoms In the orchestra —the critical fraternity and those Intimates bidden by the munager to the first glimpse of his new revelation in stagecraft—or from those occupying the stage. The lutter were but two. Evidently, though the curtnln hud boon up for some minutes the nction of the piece had not yet ^-een permitted to begin to unfold. WhTtaker inferred that Max had been dissatisfied with something about the lighting of the scene. The manager was standing in mid-stage. staring up at the borders—a stout and pompous figure, tenacious to every detail of that public self which he had striven so successfully to make unforgettably Individual; a figure quaintly Incongruous in his Impeccable morning coat and striped trousers and flatbrimmed silk hat, perched well back on his head, with his malacca stick and lemon-colored gloves and small and excessively glossy patent-leather shoes, posed against the counterfeit of a moonlit formal garden. (TO BE CONTINUED.) MR. SMOOTH'S NEAT GETAWAY Insurance Agent With Keen Eye to Business Came Near "Putting His Foot In I t " Slipping on an untenanted banana skin, the homely young woman sat on the pavement with an unmusical splash. With efficient presence of mind, Eustace Smooth, agent for the General and Particular Insurance company, slipped on another peel and sat down beside her, with two muttered curaes. "Accidents will happen on the best regulated pavements, won't they?" ho observed with a snarl. "Oh, well, luckily I happen to be an Insurance agent, and I can Insure you agakist slipping on banana peelings or even on a cake of ice for the small sum of $14 a week, and the first time you slip after being Insured, one of our automobiles, with absolutely no advertising matter on the outside, will take you homo for $7.29, or, If you prefer, to any old hospital." "The idea!" scoffed the enraged woman, "It's too muchl" "But think of the- risk we run," pursued Smooth. "Now, other kinds of insurance, such as Insurance against being bitten by wild beasts, come as low as $1V a month." "I'll take one of them," she said promptly. "I always was a great one for bargains." And she handed him her card, which read: "Mile. Kutle, Wild Animal Trainer, Lions, Tigert and "Leopards a Specialty." "Excuse me a moment I gotta set a man," stammered Eustace Smooth. PAIN? NOT A BIT! LIFT YOUR CORNS OR CALLUSES OFF No humbug! Apply few drops then Just lift them away with fingers. This new drug is an ether compound discovered by a Cincinnati chemist.. It is called freezone, and can now be obtained in tiny bottles as here showu at very little cost from any drug store. Just ask for freezone. Apply a drop or two directly upon u tender corn or callus and instantly the soreness disappears. Shortly you will find the corn or callus so loose that you can lift It off, root and all, with the fingers. Xot a twinge of pain, soreness or Irritation; not even the slightest smartling, either when applying freezone or afterwards. This drug doesn't cat up the corn or callus, but shrivels them so they loosen and come right out. It Is no humbug; It works like a charm, f o r a few cents you can get rid of every hard corn, soft corn or corn between the toes, as well as painful calluses on bottom of your feet. It never disappoints and never burns, bites or inflames. If your druggist hasn't any freezone y e t tell him to get a little bottle for you from his wholesale house.—adv. - Heard on the Train.

What the Doctor Um KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO INSURE HEALTH. Listen to the Upllfter. We think rural people are pretty good-natured, especially" when the Chautauqua comes to town. There's always a man there who comes on the platform and scolds the audience. He usually calls himself a community expert, or a "town doctor," or something of the kind. He is almost as bad as an editor about giving advice, and Isnl haW as polite about i t If we scolded yon as frankly as a recent town doctor, that we happened to hear, scoldes* his audience, yon wotild probably say "Stop my paper." Yet the audience was paying the town doctor for telling them what misguided mutts they were Probably he told them the troth. In th« main—or what seemed to be the truth —and maybe It was good for their souls, as he declared. It seems almost pathetic to us, sometimes, this eager ness with which we benighted country folk-will sit at the feet of the nptt/ter who comes from afar to point oat ooV faults and tell us how to remedy there Tet we could probably get the uptlftet on a bench and stand up on the pint form and roast him just as delight <srtlj and truthfully *» he has been roasfin* us.

PRESIDENT HAS COPY OF THE INSTRUCTIONS Carranza Was Offered Financial Support in Attempt to Reconquer Texas, New Mexico and Arizona — Von Bernstorff and Others Involved— High Official at Japanese Ambassy at Washington Denies Receipt of Kaiser's Proposal. Washington, Mureh 3 . - T h e Western Newspaper Union is enabled to reveal that Germany, in planning unrestricted submarine warfare and counting its consequences, proposed an alliance with Mexico and Japan to make war on the United Slates if this country should not remain neutral. Japan, through Mexican mediation, was to be urged to abandon her allies and join in the attack on the United States. Mexico, for her reward, was to receive geuert# financial support from Germany, reconquer Texas, New Mexico and Arizona—lost provinces—and share in the victorious peace terms Germany contemplated. Details of the Plot Details were left to German Mln- More Power. "How would you like to be an egg king?" "The egg business is too uncertain. When the hens get busy the egg king's power wanes.

Novel Egg-Boiler. Every American household likes Its boiled eggs at breakfast, but nobody enjoys cooking them. However, some self-sacrificing member of the family must always jump up and leave his own food to cool while, watch in hand he concentrates over the boiling process. Now a device has been invented which will change all this. It is an egg-shaped hot water bottle, suspended over nn alcohol lamp, one section of which contains just enough alcohol to boil an egg hard and the other Just enough to boil it soft. The eggs are tente allies defeated; Germany and her allies triumphant and in world domination by the instrument of unrestricted warfare. A copy of Secretary Zlmmermann's instructions to Von Eckhardt, sent through Von Bernstorff, is in possession of the United States government. It is as follows : "Berlin, J a n . 19, 1917.—On the 1st of February we Intend to begin submarine warfare unrestricted. In spite of this, it is our Intention to endeavor to keep neutral the United States of America. Alliance Is Proposed. "If this attempt Is not successful we propose an alliance on the following basis with Mexico: That we shall make war together and together make peace.

Duplicity Exposed. This document has been In the hands of the government since President Wilson broke off diplomatic relations with Germany.

It was In the president's hands while Chancellor von Bethmann- Hollweg w a s declaring t h a t t h e United States had placed an interpretation on the submarine declaration "newer intended by Germany" and t h a t Germany had promoted and honored friendly relations with the "United States "as an heirloom from Frederick t h e G r e a t " Of itself, if there were no other, it is considered a sufficient a n s w e r to. the German chancellor's p l a i n t t h a t the United S t a t e s "brusquely" broke off relations without giving "authentic" rea jona {or Its action.

T h e document supplies t h e mlealng link t o many separate chains of circumstances, which until now have teemed to lead to no definite p o i n t * It sheds new light upon the frequsst- /fw As prit*, luaitty What Will Congress Do? What congress will do, and how members of congress who openly have sympathized with Germany in their opposition to clothing the president with full authority to protect American rights will regard the revelation of Germany's machinations to attack the United States is the subject of the keenest interest. Such a proposal as Germany instructed her minister to make to Mexico borders on an act of war, if, actually, It is not one. No doubt exists here now that the persistent reports during the last two years of the operations of German agents not alone in Mexico but all through Central America and the West Indies are based on fact. There is now no doubt whatever that the proposed alliance with Mexico was known to high Mexican officials who are distinguished for their anti-Americanism. Among them a r e Kafael Zubaran, Carranza's minister to Germany, and Luis Cabrera, Carranza's minister of finance. The Hand of Mexico. It is apparent that the proposal had taken definite form when Zubaran returned to Mexico City from Berlin recently. His return from his foreign post was covered" by the fact that Carranza had called in many of his diplomats for "conferences." Denied at Japanese Embassy. It was declared by a high J a p a n e s e authority on Wednesday night that if the German proposal of an alliance ever reached Tokyo it was regarded as merely a new ebullition of German "kultur" and that it was thrown in the wastcbasket where it belonged. He asserted no such proposal had been made to the embassy here and that if it had been no attention would have been paid to i t He s a i d : "The whole idea was absolutely preposterous." In order to make a n alliance with Germany, he added, it would be necessary for J a p a n to break from the allies and negotiate a s e p a r a t e peace with the Teutonic powers. But above all t h a t he said, the J a p a n e s e sincerely desired friendly relations with the United States. President Confirms Note. Washington, March 3. — Senator Swanson of Virginia announced in the senate today t h a t he had been authorized by the president to s t a t e t h e Zimmermann note of J a n u a r y 19, "1917, inviting Mexico to join Germany in war against the United S t a t e s a s published this morning was textually corr e c t Knew Nothing of It. At the J a p a n e s e embassy in this city it- was declared t h a t If t h e German proposal of an alliance ever reached Tokyo It was regarded as merely s new ebullition of German "kultur** and t h a t it was thrown In t h e wasteb a s k e t where it belonged. H e asserted no such proposal had been m a d e to the embassy here and ly reported but indefinable movements of the Mexican government to couple ita situation with the friction between the United Slates and J a p a n .

CLARK. Washington, March 5.—In taw presence of maay thoesanda of bis fellow citizens, Woodrow "Vilaon today, for the second time, was inducted Into the office of president of the United States. Just before that ceremony Thomas R. Marshall took the outh aa vice president, also for the second time. For several nights prior to the inauguration, Washington was a flood of light. came to the capital of their nation from all over the United States to witness the ceremonies attending the inauguration. The situation of the country in reference to its foreign relations added more than a touch of seriousness and a distinct flavor of patriotism to the entire proceedings. Washington is a city of flags at all times, but it became ten times a city of flags one day before the ceremonies of inauguration. President Wilson drove from the White House to the capitol with his wife at his side. In the carriage with him were two members of the congressional committee which had general charge of the ceremonies, and of which Senator Overman of North Carolina is chairman. Vice President Marshall, with Mrs. Marshall in the carriage with him, was escorted in like manner to the capitol. Big Crowds, Many Flags. From an early hour the sidewalks were crowded with persons waiting to nee the president and "the first lady of the land" pass along the avenue to the place of the oath-taking. All the windows commanding a view of Pennsylvania avenue also were crowded with onlookers. The red, white and ' blue was everywhere in evidence. The only foreign flags to be seen in Washington were those flying from the flagpoles of the foreign embassies and legations which, even though they are located in the city of Washington, are recognized as being foreign territory, [ About the capitol there was an enqr- 1 mous crowd of people, who had begun ; to assemble shortly after daybreak. A j dozen bands stationed on the streets approaching the legislative building I played through the morning hours. The ! organizations which were to take part In the parade which started immediately after the taking of the oath by the president assembled on the streets leading to the capitol in order to be ready instantly to fall into their places in line. ! Vice President Takes the Oath. ! Vice President Marshall ~ a s resworn Into office before the inauguration of the president The exercises took place in the senate chamber. The legislative day of March 3, so far as the senate was concerned, had been continued by recesses until the hour of 12 noon of the calendar day March 5. The president pro tempore of the senate presided at the ceremonies preceding {he administering of the oath to the vice president-elect The president of the United States, the members of the cabinet the foreign ambassadors and other notable guests occupied seats In the senate chamber. At twelve o'clock the president pro tempore administered the oath of office prescribed by law to the rice president-elect Immediately following the taking of the oath of office by Mr. Marshall, the newly elected senators of the United States were sworn into oHice. Then the vice president made this announcement: "The sergeant-at-arms of the senate will carry out the order of the senate for the Inauguration of the president of the United States." The president-elect accompanied by the chief justice of the United States, the joint committee on arrangements, the associate justices of the Supreme Court the foreign ambassadors and ministers plenipotentiary, the members of the'senate, preceded by the vice president and secretary of the senate, the holdover members of the house of representatives, preceded" by the officers of the house who have Just relinquished office by virtue of the expiration of their terms, and other diatinffuiahed guests made their way to the inaugural stand. Ifiavgufatlofi ef the President The procession, beaded by the president- elect wound through the east senate door, the main corridors of the senate and through the rotunda of the capitol to the place set for the oathtaking. On reaching the inaugural stand, Woodrow Wilson took a place directly in front of BdwaYd D. White, the chief Justice of the United States, aad tfkt chief clerk of the court lames IX Jtaher. of the senate aad the sional committee on arrangements were immediately on the left of the president. The vice president, the associate Justices of the Supreme Court and the members of the senate sut upon his right. When all were assembled Chief Justice White, having in his right hund the open Bible upon which the hands of many former presidents have rested, advanced to Woodrow Wilson und ad- Thousauds of American citizens [ministered to htm this outh, which is Imposed by the Constitution of the United States: "You do solemnly swear that you will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States and will to the best of your ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." Woodrow Wilson said in a firm voice, "I do," and he became for the second time president of the United States of America. Then the president delivered his inaugural address and on its conclusion he made his way with Mrs. Wilson to his carriage and was driven slowly to the White House at the head of the procession formed in honor of the Inaugural ceremonies. Luncheon Deferred for Parade. In years past the presidential party always has entered the White House for luncheon prior to the review of the parade from the stand in front of the executive mansion. This Invariably in the past caused such a delay that It was decided this year to do away with the luncheon feature. President Wilson with Mrs. Wilson, the Vice President and Mrs. Marshall, and two members of his cabinet went Immediately to the little Inclosed structure, much like a sentry box, which had been built in the middle of the great grandstand In front of the White House and from which the chief executive viewed the paraders. It was the gravity of the situation In connection with our foreign affairs which gave to the inaugural ceremonies their serious tone and patriotic feature*. The parade of the day was largely military In Its nature, although there were In the procession many bodies which in a sense might be said to represent the spirit of Industrial preparedness of the United States for any eventuality which might come. Make-up of the Procession. At the forefront of the parade as it left the capitol were, of course, the president and the vice president of the United States with their guards of honor. Major General Hugh L. Scott, U. S. army, was the grand marshal of the occasion. George R. Linklns was the marshal of the civic organizations which took part in the marching ceremonies. Immediately preceding the carriages of the presidential and vice presidential parties and of Col. Robert N. Harper, inaugural chairman, was the famous United States Marine band. The president had as his guard of honor the squadron of the Second United States cavalry, The Vice President and Mrs. Marshall were escorted by the Black Horse troop of the Culver Military academy, Indiana, the state of which the vice president and his wife are natives and residents. The West Point cadets and the An- l napolis cadets took part In the procession. In addition to these young soldier and sailor organizations there was as large a representation of the forces of the United States as properly could be spared from post and garrison duty. j In addition there were troops from I Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, j Maryland, Virginia, and some other states of the Union representing the National Guard. Remnants of the Grand Army. A patriotic and picturesque feature of the ceremonies attending the inauguration was supplied by the rapidly thinning ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic. In years past the soldiers of the war between the states j have made the entire length of the line of march, but this year the distance which they tramped was shortened. They added to the picture of the parade as they moved by the presidential reviewing; stand with their old flags above them. At night Washington was aglow with fireworks and with the combined effects of gas and electric light Uluminattopa. In addition searchlights •bowed the heavens here and there, and one great shaft of light illanftne apex of the Washlngtoa it while another lighted npJ tad brought Into bold relief the if cross, feverish, constipated, give "California Syrup oi Figs."

Look at the tongue, mother ! If coated, or your child Is listless, cross, feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn't eat heartily, full of cold or has sore throat or any other children's aliment, give a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of Figs," then don't worry, because it is perfectly harmless, and in a few hours all this constipation poison, sour bile and fermenting waste will gently move out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. A thorough "inside cleansing" is ofttlmes all that Is necessary. It should be the first treatment given in any sickness. Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all ages und for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle. Adv. Milly's Idea.

EFFECT IS THAT OF FRAME Designs Seen So Far Have Been Charmingly Effective—Many Ways en Which It Can Be Arranged to Get Best Results— Blouses Without Belts. New York.--An actually new feature of fashion which the materials reflect, or possibly instigate, is the use of a turned-up hem, called a cu-ff hem, at the bottom of skirts, made of brilliant colors or plain fabrics, with tin Egyptian or Aztec design printed on them. There are many kinds of materials for these borders, and a woman can frame herself in, as it were, by bordering her skirt, cuffs, collar and waistline. All artists know the value of u frame. They realize that any arrangement of linos and colors needs a strong outline around it to co-operate its parts into a pleasing whole, and it 4s the artists who have constantly impressed upon women thai their costumes need some one strong note going around tke figure. At 4tist comes the border, to do this very thing. You yourself know the difference between an untrained and a framed picture. You know what striking character }s given to a small design of any kind by taking a bit of dark paper or a crayon and putting a line nrouyd it. Now, exactly this thin is b e i n g * - • startling u mutif as flying binia and butterflies.- Blouses Minus Sleeves. The kind of iiussiun blouse which 1» kept in fashion for the spring has un exceedingly ornamental belt placed ut the normal waistline. To begin with this lifting of the belt is a change from what we have been wearing. In ih'« medieval styles which have influenced us greatly for the last six months, there lias been an omission of the belt, or it has been placed at the hips; but the whole tendency of dress, as we get it from France this month, Is toward emphasizing the normal waistline for l the street and the empire waistline for 1 tlte house. j Mind you, the Hussian blouse, or any j kind of bodice that has an outside pepi lam, does not carry u belt that eoni tines the material at the waistiine and into the measurements of the figure; it carries a belt that is even in outline but merely takes in a bit of the fullness at the place where the waistline is arranged on the figure itself. This is an interesting development in clothes ami should not be missed by the woman who watches the small things. No Sleeves to Blouses. Another interesting feature Is that these Russian blouses are without sleeves. This is nothing new, but "its accentuation in these late styles shows that we will probably keep to the jumper effect. Even in house gowns there are sleeves of fine, ten-tinted muslin with llyzantine embroidery ut the cuffs, and a bit of a yoke, or rather, a line of the same material coming above the oblong flatness of the neckline. These sleeves and this piece done in fashion. A woman will be framed in with a sharp line of some dark or brilliant color. It need not be broad. A slender line does the work in an effective way. On Shantung, tussor, jersey silk and muslins, there will be a sharp, distinct frame made through a border of the same or another material in marked coloring. Where d t Is Most Effective. It is more important to put this ftriking frame around a gown which has designs on it, than around one made of plain fabric. Take, for in- This is a very new bit of millinery from Paris, which is a different version of the high hat from the one we know. It is all white, and the feathers riee to an amazing height. • stance, the new Shantung with the bold, crudely-colored Egyptian figures on it, and also that new weave of georgette crepe that the specialists are putting out, which has Its white surface covered with quantities of Btnall, flying birds in the Chinese design, all brilliantly colored; both these fabrics would make gowns appear fragmentary and unfinished—sketchy, as It were—if they did not have a frame of black, dark blue or dull red at all the edges to hold the design to* gether. Flying birds that have gone through all the art of China, and quivering butterflies flying In flocks, have been taken up by the designers in different ways. They are printed on the surface in a remarkable manner, in lines, in circles, and again as fragmentary bits of color, Irregularly placed- Even though the house of Callot usea materials with quivering butterflies In bine, black and yellow floating over the surface, such a material is not for every woman. One must have many gowns in the wardrobe to take posses- The wide headband is of violet-colored straw made of narrow strips lapping each other. The daring, stiffened crown is of violet satin, piped at the outer edge. at tlte neck :;ro not detached from the blouse; they are part of it. There are also blouses made of brilliant red .Shantung which are cut well out at the armholes, and rather high at the neck in the medieval line, and show an underpiece of black satin that comes well out over the armholes. I From this satin encircling the wrist, drop the full peasant sleeves with their vivid embroidery. Revival of Smocking. Since the advent of high priced and artistic evening coats, which are fittftd in at the shoulders through elaborate smocking done with silk threads in the same color ns the velvet or satin material, there has come about a revival of this primitive style of handwork. It has been used for three or four years on that wide assortment of so-called garden costumery that took women's fancy, but, as a means of ornamentation, it was not used on high priced, elaborate garments until Lanvtn and Cheruit took it up for velvet evening capes. Lanvin went from smocking to quilting, and it is rather strange that America has not caught up with this trick of fashion, for we were once known as a nation of quilters and our quilting bees, as a method of social diversion, were incorporated into our history. The French are still using quilting as a method of ornamenting coats and one-piece frocks. A satin street suit, made with severity, baa i t s hem, its belt, and the wrist part of i t s long, tight sleeve finished in machine quilting done in coarse, black silk thread. Sports skirts of white Jersey have quilted hems of scarlet, and quilted kangaroo pockets hanging from the Mdes of the three-quarter coats. This fititchery rivals smocking on the French gowns, and both of these methods of ornamenting a plain garment should suggest to the woman who sews at home, sion of oae of this variety, and, before an excellent way out of an patting money into these expensive I e v e P preSent difficulty. fabrics, it Is well to be quite stir* that4 ttu face and figure can carry off fo (Coayrlc&t, UI7, by tl» lfcClUf* Nawtpa- * MICHIGAN BREVITIES Ann Arbor—,Col.

Ever since the discovery of Scbcele in 1775 that uric acid waa found within t h e body—most eminent physicians agree that rheumatism is caused by it; also many distressing symptoms as headache, pain in back, stomach distress, swollen feet and tinkles, gout, etc. It was Dr. Pierce of the Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N.Y., who discovered a new agent — called Anuric, a harmless remedy that if taken before meals will c a n y off the uric acid from the system and in this way the pains and arhes, the, creaky joints and all the dibtrcsHing symptoms of rheumatism and other maladies disappear. You can easily prove this yourself, b y obtaining Anuric a t almost a n y drug store, or send Dr. Pierce 10c. for trial package. Try it and be convinced that Anuric is many times more active than lithia and eliminates uric acid as hot water melts sugar. W!TWIN THE REACH of r»vory w o m a n - health nnd stmnnth.

BUDGET REFORM IS URGED Sleeper Recommends More Up-to-Dat© Method of Handling Finances of Our State. (From Our Special Correspondent.) Lansing. Whether Michigan shall be "bone dry" or whether she shall be moistened with limited shipments will be decided by the people ol' the state at the spring election, April 2. This unlocked tor decision, was made- by the sub-committee of the joint house and senate liquor committee. The voters of the state can decide for themselves whether the state is to be bone dry or moist. Whether a majority of the people of Michigan voted last November merely to wipe out the saloons and still enjoy a limited use of liquor by means of importation, or whether they voted for the absolute death of liquor has been an issue in the legislature since the assembly of that body. The subject has been discussed almost continuously and the claims ha-Ve been sharply defined. Petitions from supporters of both sides signed by thousands of petitioners, have been received almost daily. Members have had piles of letters on the subject. Churches and church organizations, ministers and dry workers and leaders have written and petitioned on both sides. The result has been that instead of throwing light on the people's attitude, the agitation has merely defined the issue. The defeat of a "bone dry" constitutional amendment will in no wise effect the standing of the prohibition amendment adopted last November. This will continue in force. If a "bone dry" amendment is passed by t'"o people, it will merely add, in effect a prohibition on shipping liquor in o the state or having liquor in one's possession. Racing Bill Pigeonholed. The house had a lively time over Rep. Arthur Wood's bill to prevent the publication of entries and results of horse races. Rep. Wood passed the lie to Rep. Art- Woodruff when the latter-said Wood had said that he would get his picture on the first page of the papers if this bill passed. Wood declared that hi:? bill was aimed at handbook betting in cities, but Rep, Toepel declared that its only effect would be to keep Michigan papers from printing entries and results of races, while outside papers containing them could come in. The bill was practically killed by being referred to the judiciary committee. Many of the members were fearful that the bill, by specific exemption of trotting races from its scope, was giving official recognition to the racing game. Pure Food Bills. Rep. Taube, of Detroit, has introduced two important food bills. One would put under the food department every sort of establishment handling foods and making infractions of sanitary laws subject to heavy penalties. The other would compel cold storage houses to be registered and have annual licenses, is keep track of the entry of every packape into,cold storaye and to staihn it with the date. They stlso would be inspected every 30 days and be limited to five months log keeping food,, in storage. The food department coulQ nut grant them more than 60 days overtime uu this limit and goods once i.i and out of storage could not be returned- to storage again. Presidential Primary Law Repealed. The house made laM week notable In its record by passing the bill to repeal the presidential preference primary law, passed at tae special sessions in 1912. After some "kidding" over the race last spring between William Alden Smith and Henry Ford, the bouse voted 77 to 7 for the repeal. Special Message on Budget System. Gov. Albert E. Sleeper and the members of the legislature still have to come to an agreement as to huw Michigan is going to acquire a budget system for its financial affairs. With the eenate holding the D«*- Land-Roberts budget bill in committee and the house holding in another committee Rep. Foote's bill for a budget commission to study the subject, Gov. Sleeper has come out in favor of a thorough study of the budget problem and the passage of a law creating such a. system, based on the report of investigators. He has sent in a special message to both bouses urging that a commiasion of inquiry be named. Many of the legislators are of the opinion that they are just as competent now to pass a bill providing a budget as they would be after hearing from an investigating commission on the subject. The governor has obtained from Auditor General Fuller, who handle1* moat of the state's financial matters, a statement which backs up the governor's position and has incorporated it in his message to the legislature on the subject. In his statement, Mr. Fuller says: "I am in favor of adopting any policy or system that would in any way reduce the cost of the government of the state and not impair or interfere with the proper performance of the several necessary functions of government, and it may be that the budget system will reduce the amount expended each year, but as a budget system would materially change the present system of maintaining the state institutions, departments, boards and commissions, it will be necessary to amend pr repeal several of the existing laws before a budget syst&in will be operative. "The budget system would necessarily include a provision that fundi be drawn from the state treasury and should remain in Ihe treasury until i such time as they were needed for I the payment of claims. A clause in the law to the effect that funds shculd ; remain in the treasury until needed would not be sufficient without spe- ' cifically conferring upon some official the authority to determine the neces- 1 sity for drawing the funds. If the funds were drawn from the treasury as the law now provides, the object of the budget system would be defeated; therefore it will be necessary to amend or repeal the prsent accounting laws of the state. "Michigan has outgrown the system of appropriating money winch was adopted in the infancy of the slate and which has been continued. It ii not a businesslike proposition to deposit state funds in the treasuries of [ the state institutions. There should : be but one state treasury and the j funds of the state should remain in the treasury until it is necessary to j pay claims against the state, and it '• would be advisable to adopt a bud- < get system in order that the present ; method of expending state funds may j be placed on a business basis. But before the budget system becomes a j part Af our fiscal policy I would suggest that the system in force in other states be investigated and the opera- j tion of same be noted so that the defects, if any. r.uy he avoided in the lav/ that may be adopted in Michigan. ! "I believe that a committee should ; be appointed to make a thorough ex- < amination of the budget system m force in other states and to report to the legislature at this or next ses- ' sion; and it would also be advisable I to have a committee examine the prcs- ' ent laws with a view to removing ! the legal obstacles from the path of : the budget system that may be adopt- { ed." I These views are thoroughly indorsed ' by the governor in his remarks ap- { pended to the letter of the auditor general, the message of the governor concluding: i "I therefore recommend that legis- i lation be passed t y the legislature : for the appointment of a commissiono ; to be composed of men of high stand- j i i g and ability, and who are not mem- ; b*rs of the legislature to examine | thoroughly into the matters I have herein indicated and to report if prac- | tic*ble during the present session of ] the legislature, and if not, previous ! to tire next session of the legislature."

U-BOAT CAMPAIGN HAS LOST ITS STING TONNAGE SUNK BY GERMAN SUBMARINES SEEMS TO BE D I M I N I S H I N G . GUARD TO BE MUSTERED OUT Death of General Funston Will Affect Demobilization. Not FALLS SHORT OF WORK SET Was Expected to Stop All Shipping But Sea Traffic Is Moving As Before. New York—Predictions that Germany's ruthless U-boat campaign begun February 1 will fail are predicted upon the performances reported. The undertaking was eventually to stop all sea traffic, enemy and neutral, in "the great new war zone, and in the meantime to sink shipping at the rate of 1,000,000 tens a month, or 33,000 a day. The Germans have failed to approach the mark they set. Sea traffic is moving almost as before. But what seems really significant is that the toll of merchantmen, after having risen rapidly from 10 vessels of 13,000 tons February 1 to 14 vessels of 44,- 457 tons February C, has been steadily falling since. In the first eight days of February there were sunk 68 ships, aggregating 138,200 tons. In the next eight days there were sunk 42 ships, aggregating 87,450 tons. The conclusion seems irresistible that it has done its very worst. The unknown factor in the case is the mortality of U-boats. That is unreported. We have only a record of their deadliness which appears to be diminishing. Washington—Coincident with the reopening of the American embassy in Mexico the big army of national guardsmen that was concentrated on the border on account of bandit activities, will be in process of dissolution. Orders were issued by the war department directing General Funston to begin the immediate demobilization of all the guard units remaining in border camps, and it is expected that the last troop train will be on its way north by March 7. It was at first feared that the death The story of the wealth of Western Canada cannot be told too often; the truth will bear repeating*. And .In telling of it it is hoped that advantage will be taken of the great opportunities that Western Canada offers by those who are today struggling for a mere existence, by those who are oc* cupying lands, high In price and high In rentals. ' From grain, live stock and dairying In 1016, there was a return from the three Prairie Provinces of $253,000,000, or an increase of four million dollars over 1915, and 118 million dollars over 1014. j A prominent Trust Company says: Some of our contract holders have paid off their purchase money on lands bought a year ago out of this year's crop, and what one mnn can do another can do. Thousands of Southern Al- Derta farmers harvested an average of 40 to 50 bushels of No. 1 wheat to the acre. These fanners have more real money to spend than any other people on the American Continent. J. D. Johnston of Blads worth, Sask., left Johnson County, Kansas, seven years ago. When he left he had $660 in cash, six mules, some settler's effects and an equity in some prairie land. Mr. Johnston tells his story : "In my seven years' residence in Saskatchewan, I have raised seven good crops the value of this year's crop alone being Twenty thousand dollars. I now own Two Sections of imof General Funston would delay the j proved land, 17 horses and"mules," 40, departure of the troops but in line with this capable commander's custom practically all the details for the movement of the troops had alreadybeen worked out. Michigan troops still stationed on the border and affected by the new order, are the Thirty-third infantry, troops A and B of cavalry, of Detroit and South Haven, Batteries A and 13 of Lansing, the signal company of Ypsilanti, and the engineer company of Calumet. For eight months, almost to a day, the national guardsmen have done their tour of duty for varying lengths I of time at the Mexican line, supporti ing General Pershing. In all 150,000 guardsmen made the trip to the border, there are*&6.000 there to be affected by the last ordering home. There will still remain on , the border about 50,000 regulars to t continue the work of protecting the j line against Mexican raids. LECTURES FOR THE FARMERS GUARD WOULD AVOID WINTER M, A. C. Has Special Course Arranged for Week of March 5. East Lansing Moving pictures, demonstrating the use of farm machinery and operations involved in the] production of produce and stock will be employed by the Michigan Agricultural college during the week begining March 5, to force home the lessons of the tabloid college course for farmers. Lectures by well-known men and actual demonstrations of improved methods will also be used. One day will be devoted by the college to each of the "main agricultural subjects, so that a farmer who-hasn't time to attend for a week, but can come for a day, will be able to pick a topic that will be of most value to him. Tuesday will be given over to soils and crops; Wednesday will be dairy day; Thursday has been selected for stock, and Friday will be diided between horticulture and fruit growing. N • a l a r y Raises Sidetracked. The senate has sidetracked the proposal Unamend the constitution so 'as to provide for $5,030 salaries for tae secretary of state, auditor general and state treasurer. The senators tattered that if they submitted it t h e woold rote it down. BASE HOSPITAL AT FOOD CITY Prefer Now to Remain on Border Until Spring Sets In. El Paso, Tex.—Pending definite orders to move, Michigan guards ar? setting the departure of the regiment between the dates of March 10 and April 1. The announcement that a special effort will he made to have all troops out by March 7 is taken with a grain of salt by observers of past procedure in troop movements. Michigan has about 2,000 men hero and one part of them could leave in 24 hours so far as paper work is concerned. It may be the physical examinations will be taken here, ^ s some other units have done, in which case nothing would remain to be done at Fort Wayne but check up property and pay off, a matter of four or five days. Arrival in Michigan %bout April 1 would satisfy a large majority of the men. Now they are certain of going, a matter of two or three weeks more would not count. Newspapers and personal letters telling of the severe cold^ weather in Michigan have caused a general desire to bask in Texas sunshine while March blizzards prevail in the north. cattle, a large steam thresher aud a full line of farm machinery." - We have made five trips to Kansas, one trip to the Pacific Coast and re- ! turn.

It : is an excellent stock country." The question of taxes is er.o that \ carries with it considerable weight. • Coming from a man like Mr. Johnston the same weight should be given the ! answer. He says : j The tax system especially commends I itself to me ns being simple, reasonable and just. All direct taxes are levied on the land nt its appraised market value, exclusive of improvements thereon. No tax on personal [ property. This tends to discourage ; the holding of lands by speculators J who prevent its cultivation or improvement, hoping to realize profits from the enhanced value of their holdiogs due to the industrial activities of the bona fide settlers. It tends to encourage the settlers to rear substantial improvements upon their land without paying { a penalty in the form of taxation I therefor. It encourages the raising of ! live stock and the possession of other j personal property necessary to the de- | velopment of the country. j "The laws are well and economically i administered. Citizens of the Dorainj ion vote on election of members of ) parliament and members of the Pro- ; vlncial assembly, while on questions I of local improvements and sehr.ol mat- \ tors the franchise is exercised by rate- | payers, Irrespective of citizenship.

I'm resting, dear, and thinking. Don't fret about me. When I feel able, I will come down to you." "As you will," he assented, unspeakably relieved; and returned to the kitchen. Sunset Interrupted, his thoughts —sunset and his wife. Sounds of someone moving quietly round the kit clan, a soft clash of dishes, the rattling of the grate,' drew him back to the door. She showed him a face of calm restraint and implacable resolve. "Ilu^ii"—her voice had found a new, yweet levul of gentleness and strength —"I just wanted to tell you how sorry J am. I've let you go without your lunch."' "Well," he admitted with a short laugh. -I'm famished !" She paused, regarding him with her whimsical, indulgent smile. "You Grange c r e a t u r e ! " she said softly. 'Are you angry with me—impatient— .'or this too facile descent from heroics to the commonplace? Be patient with mo, dear." Hut, alarmed by his expression, her words stumbled and ran out. She stopped back a pace, a little flushed and tremulous. '•Hugh : No, Hugh, n o ! " "I.'ou't be afraid of me," he said, fuming away. "I don't mean to bother. Only—at times—" "I know, d e a r ; but it must not be." '"Shall you make a tire again tonight?" she nsTTed, when they had concluded the meal. "In throe places," he said. "We'll not slay another day for want of letting people know we're here. I'll go now. When you are ready—?" "I shan't be long," she said. When it was quite dark, W h i t a k e r brought a lantern to the door and .•'ailed her, and they went forth together. As lie had promised, he had built op three towering pyres, widely apart. When all three were in full roaring ilame, their illumination was hot and glowing over all the upland. It f>ecmed impossible that the world should not now become cognizant of their distress. At some distance to the north of ihe greatest fire—that nearest the farm-house—they sat as on the previous nigh',, looking out over the black and unresponsive waters, communing together in undertones. In t h a t hour they learned much of one a n o t h e r ; much that had seemed s t r a n g e and questionable assumed, in the u m h r s t n u d i n g of each, the completion of the normal and right. Whitaker spoke at tength and in much detail of his Willful Missing y e a r s without seeking to excuse the wrong-minded reasoning which had won him his own consent to live under the mask of d e a t h . He told of the motives t h a t had prompted his r e t u r n , of all t h a t had happened since in which she ha*5 had no part—with a single reservation.

"Hugh," she said gently, with a quaver in her voice that wounded his conceit in himself; for he was sure it spelled laughter at his expense and well-merited—"Hugh, you big sulky boy! get up this instant and come back to the house with me. You know I'm timid. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?" "I suppose so," he grumbled, rising. "I i w s u m e it's childish to want the moon—and sulk when you find you can't have it." "Or a s t a r ?

" There was alarm in her tone. He looked up quickly. "Hugh, what are you thinking of?" "Oh—nothing. But I've got to think of something." She came nearer, Intuitively alarmed and pleading. "Hugh, you wouldn't leave me here alone?" "Don't be afraid," he said evasively. "I'll be here—as always—when you wake up." ~ She d i s a p p e a r e d ; the light of her lamp faded, flickering in the draught of the hall, stencilled the wall with Its evanescent c a r i c a t u r e of the balustrade, and was no longer visible. " H u g h ! " her voice rang from the upper floor. He started violently out of deep abstraction, and replied Inquiringly. "You won't forget to lock the door?" He swore violently beneath his b r e a t h ; controlled his tamper and responded p l e a s a n t l y : "Certainly not." Then he shut the outside door with a convincing bang. "If this be m a r r i a g e . . . !" He smiled his twistetl smile. Leaving the kitchen light turned low, he went to his own room and, as on the previous night, t k r e w himself upon the bed without undressing; but this time with no thought of sleep. Indeed, he had no expectation of closing his eyes in slumber before the next night, at the earliest; he had no intention other t h a n to attempt to swim to the nearest land. An hour dragged out Its weary length, nnd the half of another. He rose, with Infinite precaution against making any noise. Slowly, on tiptoes, W h i t a k e r stole toward the door, out Into the hall, took a single step on toward the kitchen; and then, piercing suddenly the absolute stillness within the house, a board squealed like an animal beneath his t r e a d . Ip an instant he heard t h e thud and p a t t e r of her footsteps above, her loud, quickened b r e a t h i n g as she leaned over the balustrade, looking down, end her cry of dismay: "Hugh! H u g h ! " He halted, saving in an even voice: "Yes, it is I." She had always seen him; there was n^ use trying to get away without her knowledge now; besides, he was no sneak-this^ to fly from a cry. He burned with resentment, Impatience and Indignation, but he waited stolidly enough while the woman flew down the stairs to hii side. "Hugh," she demanded, white-faced and trembling, "what is the matter? Where are you going?" He moved his shoulders uneasily, forcing a short laugh. "I daresay you've guessed it. Undoubtedly you have.

"I've done my best, Mary. I meant to do the right thing. I—" "Hugh, you mean you won't go?" Joy from a surcharged heart rang vibrant In every syllable uttered in that marvelous voice. But now he dared meet her eyes. "Yes," he said, "I won't go—" nodding, with an apologetic shadow of his twisted smile. "I can't if . . . it distresses you." "Oh, my dear, my d e a r ! " Whitaker started, staggered with amaze, and the burden of his wife in his arms. Her own a r m s clipped him close. Her fragrant, tear-gemmed face brushed his. He knew at last the w a r m t h of her sweet mouth, the dear madness of that first caress. Then through the magical hush of that time when the world stood still, the thin, clear vibrations of a distant hail : "Aho-oy '." In his embrace his wife stiffened and lifted her bead to listen like a startled fawn. "Listen!" Lie hold up his hand. This time it rang out mere near and most u n m i s t a k a b l e : "Ahoy! The house, a h o y ! " With the frenzied leap of a madman, Whitaker flung 'out into the dim, ailvery witchery of the night. He stood staring, while the girl stole to his side and caught his arm. He passed it round her, lifted the other hand, dumbly pointed toward the northern beach. For the moment he could not trust himself to speak. In the sweep of the anchorage a small, white yacht hovered ghostlike. On the beach itself a small boat was drawn up. A figure in white waited near it. Rising over the brow of the uplands moved two other figures in white and one in darker clothing, the latter leading the way at a rapid pace. As they drew together, the leader of the landing party checked his pace and called : "Hello t h e r e ! Who are_ you? What's the meaning of your fires—?" Mechanically Whitaker's lips uttered the beginning of the r e s p o n s e : "Shipwrecked—signaling for help—" " W h i t a k e r ! " the voice of the other interrupted with a jubilant shout. "Thank God we've found you !" It was Ember. C H A P T E R X V I I . Disappearance. Seldom, perhaps, has a habitation been so unceremoniously vacated as was the solitary farmhouse on that isolated Island. Whitaker delayed only long enough to place a bill, borrowed from Ftnber, on the kitchen table, in payment for what provisions they had consumed, and to extinguish the lamps and shut the door. Ten minutes later he occupied a chair beneath an awning on the after deck of the yacht, and, with a blessed cigar fuming in the grip of his teeth, stared back to where their rock of refuge was swiftly blending into a small dark blur upon the face of the waters. "Ember," he demanded querulously, "what the devil is t h a t place?" "You didn't k n o w ? " Ember asked, amused. "It is No Man's Land." "I'm strong for Its sponsors In baptism. And the other—?" "Martha's Vineyard. T h a t ' s Gay head—the headland with the lighthouse. Off to the north of it, the Elizabeth Islands. If we're lucky, we'll be at anchor off E a s t Twentyfourth street by nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Any kick coming?" • "Not for me. You might better consult— my wife," said Whitaker with an embarrassed laugh. "Look here: Tve told yon bow things were with us, in brief; but Tm hanged^W you've disgorged a tingle word of explanation as to how you came to let Drummond slip through your fingers, to say nothing of how yon managed to find us," "He didn't slip through my Angers," Ember retorted- "He launched a young earthquake at my devoted head and disappeared before the dust settled. I came to some time later with a gag In my mouth, handcuffs on ray wrists, behind my back, and rope round my legs. Midnight the following night, the owner happened along and let me loose. "It was easy enough to surmise Drummond had some pal or other working with him—1 was slungshot* ted from behind, while Drummond was walking ahead. And two men had worked in the kidnaping of Mrs. Whitaker. So I went sleuthing; traced yon as far a s Sag Harbor. There4ri lost yon—and there 1 borrowed thA outfit from a friend, an old-time <§Tent of mine. We kept cruising, looking op on the point of throwing up t h e sponge jrvheu J picked up u schooner t h a t reported signal tires ou No Muu'i Land. . . . 1 think that clears everything up." "Yes," said Whitaker sleepily. And so strong was his need of sleep that It wus not until ten o'clock the tollowing morning, when the yacht lay ut her mooring in the East river, that lumber succeeded in rousing him by main strength and good-will. His wife had gone ashore an hour ugo, after refusing to listen to a suggestion that Whitaker be disturbed. The note Ember handed him was brief, but in Win taker's sight eminently adequate and compensating. Dourest B o y : I won't let chern vvak« you. but ! must run a w a y . It's early and 1 must do s o m e shopping before people rtre about. My house hc-r« is closed; Mrs. S e c r t t a n Is In Maine with the only k e y s uside trorn those at Great Weat B a y ; and I'm a potiiive ln.t;i;t in a coat and skirt b u r r o w e d from thu s t e w a r d e s s . I don't want even you to scv me until I'm decently dressed. I shall put up at the Waldorf, form* there tonight, and we will dine together. E v e r y fiber of my being love» you. MAHV. Whitaker took a serene and shining face to the breakfast in the saloon, under the eyes of Ember. Toward noon they parted ashore, each taking a tuxlcub to his lodgings. The understanding was that they were to dine together—all three, Whitaker promising for his wife upon the morrow. ( T O B E C O N T I N U E D . ) FRUfT IAXHNE COMBINATION SURE TO WIN With Ideas and Industry Ninety Men Out of Every • Hundred Will Achieve Success. Some self-conceited philosopher has said that genius is nothing but an intinite capacity for untiring application. It would seem that this attempt to detine genius would apply more appropriately lo talent. It is also an obvious fact that many people, thoughtful otherwise, use language loosely. We would think' the remark quoted above a case in point, observes the Los Angeles Times. There is no doubt that talent, to make itself effective, requires untiring effort and unlimited application. Given talent and application, success Is sure to follow hi any man's career. Many of us a r e w r y much Inclined to tind fault with society and lay all our failure to succeed at its door. L'oeiety is not a concrete fact. It Is simply an abstraction invented lo represent humanity in the aggregate. Nature has been very niggardly in her gifts to many of us, and where this is so no amount of effort, no matter how continuously it is applied can lead to large success, Those who find fault with society as the cause of their failure are wrong, (liven a fair amount of talent—that is, brains—and untiring' application, and success will be achieved, ninety-nine times out (f every hundred. This may be proved by reference to any walk In life to which human beings apply themselves to reach success.

'California Syrup of Figs" can't harm tender stomach, liver and bowels. Every m o t h e r realizes, after giving her children "California Syrup of Figs' t h a t this is their ideal laxative, because they love its pleasant tasteand it thoroughly cleanses the tender little stomach, liver and bowels without griping. When cross, irritable, feverish, or broath is bad, stomach sour, look at the tongue, m o t h e r ' If coated, give a. teaspoonful of this h a r m l e s s 'fruit laxative," and in a few hours all the foul, constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. When its little system is full of cold, t h r o a t sore has s t o m a c h a c h e , diarrhoea, indigestion, colic— -remember, a good "inside cleaning" should always be the first t r e a t m e n t given. Millions of m o t h e r s keep "California Syrup of F i g s " handy; they know a teaspoonful today saves a sick child tomorrow. Ask at the store for a 50- cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has directions for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups printed on the bottle. Adv. Pensions for the Dlind.

Deadly Mysterious Disease. The China Mail reports that a mysterious disease which paralyzes the stomach and nseends to the he-art, causing syncope, has overtaken a gang of Knowlobn dock Chinese hands who have been engaged in salving the S. S. Wixley, which ran aground off Saigon n couple of mon.fhs ngo. The work was delayed thruiigh the dread epTdemic, which 1ms taken hold of the workers. The Blue Funnel S. S. Telamachus brought up from Cape Barilla a few survivors who were at once conveyed to a hospital where their condition has been watched with much concern by the medical frnter- ' nity. So far the disease has not been ' diagnosed. The captain of the Blue Funnel boat said when be called at Cape Barilla he was informed that . a virulent disease had broken out among the Chinese salvage crew and 1 seven of them h a d died. Fifty-eight 1 were t a k e n on board and hurried with | all dispatch to Hong-Kong. 1 LIFT OUT ANY CORN Apply a few drops then lift cor lis or cat luces off with fingers—no pain.

Grand Trunk Takes off Two Trains The people of Pinckney and vicinity were not entirely overjoyed to hear that the Grand Trunk Road was going to take off two passenger trains, the one that leaves here at 9:54 west, and the 4:44 east, which act went into effect Monday of this week. The Company gave their reason, as a shortage of coal, which seems to be the case all over the country. A petition was sent in by Mr. Darwin one of the board of Railroad Commissioners, whose home is in this vicinity, to see if the Company oould not be induced to leave the iraina on, but as yet it has produced no particular results, This change means a great loss in a business way to people all along the line, to say nothing of the inconvenience it occasions to people who wish :o travel. * Will Unload 5 0 Bbls.

TO PUT BLAME FOR WAR ON GERMANY PRESIDENT W1L80N AND CABINET DECIDE THAT AMERICA W I L L NOT FORCE ISSUE. COMPULSORY Sf RV 3E BILL All Youths In Nineteenth Year Would Have t« Train Six Months. AMERICANS TO BE PROTECTED Military and Naval Force May Be Used But Actual Declaration of War Must Come From Germany. Washington—The fateful "next step" In the controversy between the United States and Germany will not he a declaration of war. This decision was reached at a meeting of President Wilson and his cabinet, when the delicate international situation confronting the country was reviewed. The following course was decided upon. When the president is satisfied that "American lives and American ships" have been destroyed on the high seas in violation of the submarine pledgee formerly made by Germany, he will lay the matter before congress. He will not suggest a declaration of war. but will ask authority to use the military- and naval forces for the protection of the lives and rights of Americans at sea. He will proceed to use the military and naval forces for this purpose, leaving the next move to Germany. This will result in a "state of war,'* but leave the actual declaration to Berlin. It was stated unequivocally the president is determined that responsibility for a physical clash between the two nations must reat with Germany and that the United States shall under no circumstances force the issue. This determination la in line with the earnest endeavors of the administration to prevent any act which could be construed aa an offense or affront to Germany in the present diplomatic break. Washington—The senate military committee reported favorably a bill framer by a sub-committee creating a military and naval citizen reserve force based on universal military training and service. While the committee report does not Indicate a belief that congress will act on the measure at this session, the bill brings to a definite head the universal service discussion of the last few months and offers a specific plan on which public sentiment can crystallize . The bill requires six months' training without pay for all youths in their nineteenth year. Exemptions are granted the members of the regular army and navy, those physically unfit, those who are the sole support of dependent relatives and those affiliated with religious sects whose creeds forbid them to bear arms. Those of the latter class, however, are subject to training in the non-combatant branches of the army. It is estimated the bill would provide for the training of 500,000 boys annually, each of whom would be furloughed into a reserve for nine years ! after his training period. With allowances for shrinkage of classes, due to various causes as the years pass, this plan would give a total force of 3,165,000 men, who had had six months' training, at the end of the first nine-year-cycle, all being subject to call for service only in the event of a "defensive" war or the imminence thereof.

Tk* KfTT/T^aHSB^''; By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—Every four years, a* regularly as the Inauguration Itself, a row comes In congress over the general subject of the pageantry aod the expenses of the big event. Congress If never at any other time always it nonpartisan, to a considerable measure at any rate, when It discusses Inaugural functions la advance of the event Itself. Criticism* and worse than criticisms have been the order of every late January and early February every four years within the memory of the oldest of the Washington correHpondenta. Thls year it was the expressed intention of the inaugural committee, of which Robert N. Harper Is the chief, to give the parade feature of the day something which would differentiate it from the parades of the past. So it was decided" to have a series of socalled floats picturing the history of the United States "and the great progress that has been made in education, commerce, art, the professions, finance and the industries." Senators Objected to "Floats." Now "floats" as used in parades sre of as many varieties as there sre species of sparrows in the United State* —and the sparrow tribe in its vertou* ramifications and collaterals runs into hundreds of differentiations. For some reason "floats'' suggested to some members of congress classical representations of fair women, draped more or less and reminiscent of the days of the empire of Rome. So it was that in the upper house the scheme was Inveighed against by one or two members on the ground that floats were more fitting for the coronation of a king than for the simple swearing hi of the president of a republic They are going to have the floats and they will be representatively American, and in fact already the animosity to them is dying away under the influence of proper explanation. Congress in addition to objecting to the floats has had something to say about the expenses of the occasion. The lawmakers appropriate nothing, for the ceremonies of the day concern simply the citizens of Washington who look after the expenses of the parade because of local pride reasons. Congress, however, is expected to appropriate money for the actual ceremonies at the capitol. Hotel Rates Worry Some. The lawmakers, also, or some of them at any rate, are disturbed over the question of hotel rates. This subject is brought up every four years tn Washington just as regularly as it Is brought up every four years in a elty which Is to entertain the delegates to a great national convention. The hotels in Washington make money during the inauguration days and then* is no question about this. Congress talked with a good deal of vim end's good deal of venom about this matter* Now it Ik only fair to say that there are two sides to this story. The hotels for the main part, at any* rate, do not put up their prices materially except for rooms which face the streets along which the parade is to pass. Any business man in Washington can get money for the use on Inauguration day of an office window that overlooks Pennsylvania avenue. The hotel in renting Its street rooms rents them not only for sleeping purposes, but for show purposes. So far as the other rooms tn the hotel are concerned it may be said that generally speaking the price Is as It always Is except that a man must pay for a bed what he ordinarily pays for .a room. Building National Pantheon. Over In Arlington, the resting place of the nation's soldiers and sailors, there Is now under CODA atrnctlon a great memorial amphitheater. Marble will wall in a big stretch of green sward and there in the enclosure open to the sky will be held services on those days when the country commemorates the deeds of Its "children unafraid." OoL W. W. Harts, United States corps of engineers, is the executive officer tn charge of construction of the amphitheater. The plans Include the construction of a chapel from which at a point tn the marble wall encircling the field will i n n a colonnade tn which will be niches for the buata of men who lost their lives in the doof taetr country, or who, dylasj tho ordinary conditions of wttt fit t i e serf* under fas shape, win be pieced Che bodies of some of the lUusarteoo Amertcaas af the s e n U as, for Artlugtoa is sotely a resting place for the mea of the twin service* Today Admiral Dewey's body rests to the vaalt bull! by Lieut. Gen, Nelson A. allies for the reception of his own remains when he shall have answered the last call. It Is tbt Intention when the amphitheater 1» completed to place Dewey's body la the crypt under the chapel. Already a study Is being made of the record* of soldiers and nallor* to determine whose memories shall be specially honored by busts to be emplaced In _the colonnade and to whom the special honor of burial under the chapel shall be accorded. It virtually has been determined that a bu*t and u memorial tablet shirt I be placed in the colonnade In memory of the life, and services of David Du Boise Gulllnrd. United States corps of engineers, who dug the Culebra Cut and who died Just as his work was completed and as a result of the strain of seven years' service tn the tropics. It seems likely chat, with the exception of the cane of Admiral Dewey, whose place in the history of the country already is assured, there -will be no burials In the crypt under the chapel until at least ten years elapses after the passing away of any man of the service. Fame, as someone has put it, must stand the test of time. Paradise of Quba in proportion to its population there are more clubs, social endeavor, purely social, scientific and political. In the city of Washington than In any other town in the United States. Just now the Congressional Club of Women is engaged In Its campaign for the election of officers. This organisation consists of the wives, sister*, daughters and mothers of members of the two houses of congress. In case the family of a representative or senator stays in Washington after he has been retired from office the female members of It still can continue thetr membership in the Congressional club. Every attempt is made to keep politics out of this woman'^j club, in which, however, nearly every member Is a strong partisan one way or the other. By an unwritten law of the organisation the president for one term is s Democrat and for the next term a Republican, and so the alternation goes on from election to election. The Congressional Club of Women has a clubhouse of its own. The sits was given by Mrs. John B. Henderson, who holds her membership by right of the fact thst years ago her husband was a United States senator from Missouri. The clubhouse ts a beautiful one and is situated In a fine residence district. Lectures, dances, teas, concerts and receptions follow one after another In quick order during the offlctal and social season In this city. Row in a Social Club. There is another club of women lo Washington which is a purely social club. It is true that It occasionally has lectures In Its clubhouse and other things having educational value, but in the main the clubhouse is used for social Intercourse only. This organization is housed in an old-time and beautiful mansion on Farragut square. Just now, by the way, there is a row on In this organisation. The membership is composed largely of women of leisure and of wealth and social position. It seems that the committee on membership declined to sanction the application for membership of a trained nurse. The assumption Is that the members of the committee thought It would not be right to admit a "working woman" Into the fellowship of membership. The matter was taken to the club as a whole end the action of the committee was repudiated, but as the trained nurse cannot have her ,application voted on until the membership eon> mittee reports favorably on i t the row is still on. Defied the Milk Dealers. The largest woman's club In Washington devoted entirely to uplifting endeavor, to the betterment of things generally, is the Twentieth Century club. It works through 15 or 20 sec* flons, each one holding s goodly percentage of the club's membership along various lines of good. It was this dub which first thought of the plan of seeming from the- health authorities t weekly analysis of the milk furnished to the dry by the various dairymen. Inasmuch as the analysis of each sample of milk was a matter of public record Its publication was legitimate, and so. the members of the Twentieth Century club sent to all the mothers In Wsshlugton a recorded analysis of the milk which was offered for sale by the different dealers tn Washington. Now. of course, this raised a row. The thought of the dub, and It was justified, was that mothers could toft which dealers sold the bent milk and thereby wouid«fcnow what nvJIk to give their children In order to keep them tn health. The milk dealers tried to cams trouble* eapcc!al1y,tbeot whose milk waa not ss> rovta* top note*, * * • wouNn of tht ejsjb sjsat thorn .wtfli a nmflo and told these to go- 0 SYRUP OF FIGS FOR AC1MLS K ia true! to forct ntutjatinfc harsh physio into t sick chili.

Minneapolis, Minn.—Fifteen persons were burned to death Monday morning In a fire which destroyed the Kenwood hotel, a three-story family boarding house. The Are, which apparently broke out In the basement of the hotel, shot up the front and back etairwaya. The victims were trapped on the top floor of the building and were enveloped In the flames. Doxeng of of guests crowded at the windows on the second and third floors. Many leaped, while others were pushed from the window sills by those behind. About a dozen injured persons were taken to hospitals and others were cared for In private homes. Several of the Injured will die. A group of five persons refused to jump into a net from the second floor and suddenly the ledge on which they were standing gave way, throwing them back into the flames. The police were unable to hold the crowd In check and indescribable confusion gave the firemen difficulty In fighting the blaze.

Washington—Germany has taken steps to open a discussion with the United States of means of preventing war between them. The new move is understood to b« predicted on a willingness on Germany's part to discuss especially the safeguarding of American ships and American lives on the seas, and backed by a renewed expression of the desire of the German government to prevent the diplomatic breach from leading to actual hostilities. In some quarters there is evident a feeling that this move merely is a play for time, designed to postpone any further action by the United States unMl the starvation blockade against England either has succeeded or failed. Elsewhere there are suggestions that there may be behind it a sincere desire to make sacrifices to preserve peace between the United States and Germany and may come as a response to the appeals understood to have been sent abroad by paclficta in this country. Some light was thrown upon Germany's point of view when it was learned that while the Berlin government was arranging for the new campaign of the ruthless warfare, German diplomats In various parts of the world were notified that while "military necessity" prevented the granting of a period in which neutrals might adjust their maritime Interests, every care would be exercised that neutral, and especially American, passenger carrying ships would not be subjected to unwarned submarine attack.

Officials estimated that vessels were being sunk at the rate of nearly a million tons a month. At that rate it would take just four years to destroy the tonnage of the entire world—4g,000,000 tons — i f all the world's ships ventured into the war zone. The world turned out in 1916 leas than two million tonnage of merchant vessels.

WHK ON PROHIBITION BILLS ltt»»» Figure Thsy Have 8«v- I Weeks' Work Ahead of Them Befor« Bills Are Ready. (By W. L. CALNOIt.) Lansisg. Backing up President Woodrow Wilin his course in severing diplomatic relations with Germany, the Michigan legislature adopted the following resolution aad transmitted it ta Washington: Eesolved by the House a/ Representatives, the Senate concurring, that tft the present crisis through which ear nation is passing we pledge to our president, in behalf of the people of Michigan, our united and whole-hearted support of every actio* which we assy deem necessary in upholding the feasor of our country. The resolution was prepared by JWp. Andrew B. Glaspie, of Oakland ©aunty. It was adopted unanimously ay the house when offered. A much laager resolution to the same general affect was passed by the senate at the eaaie time and when the latter reached the house there was some question a* to its wording. A proposed substitute resolution was also offered, hut Ms* senate adopted the simple house resolution and prevented a tie-up how the state would officially express its faelings of loyalty to Ike head of the »n. Per IfienMjedl Ratlrved Rate* It has been Intimated in that the railroads may present anoth* •r bill for Increased passenger rate* at this session, but William W. Walker, general manager of the Duluth, South Shore A Atlantic road, on a visit here, has stated that If they do the action will merely be of a strateglo nature, not with any expectation that this legislature would grant increased rates. The railroads feei themselves that their huge freight business in the past couple of years would prevent any serious consideration of increasing their passenger rates, such as was had two years ago, when the roads came within a narrow margin of winning their argument for a 2 1-2 cent a mile rate instead of the present 2- cent rate. But they may have a bill introduced asking for the higher passenger rate, merely to keep alive their contention that the paasenger service should be made self-sustaining. The winning of the Ehiluth, South Shore contention that a .2-cent rate would be confiscatory on its lines in the upper peninsula, in a recent decision in the federal court in Detroit, leaves that road with a 5-cent a mile ! passenger rate and not disposed to I fight before the legislature for an ini crease in the general rate that would not even reach the rate which the South Shore is getting. u.a MIGHTIEST NATION Experts'Agree All Other Belligerent Countries Could Be Surpassed. LEADS IN ACTUAL WEALTH Sewimittees Work on Prohibition Bill*, The house and senate liquor committees are at work on the proposed Mils to make the state dry, In accordance with the prohibition amendment. The committees figure that they have tore or three weeks' work ahead of them on the bills and Indicate that it probably will be In the neighborhood et March 1 when the house will get the first dry bill. This undoubtedly will be the Wiley bill, the one prepared by attorneys for the Anti-Satoon league, and which bone dry advocates charge is a "moist" measure. A complete debate In both the house and senate is looked for, however, on every section of the proposed law over which there can be the slightest dispute, and the question of weather bene dry or moist dry advocates wttl prevail can be settled nowhere except on the floors of the two houses. Not only are the drys divided on the Sjaestion of whether to be bone dry or la allow a small amount of liquor la the state, but the weta who still are laft are also strongly divided as between the two kinds of dryness. Those who argue that extreme bone dryness •my cause a reaction In their favor want to support the bone dry measures, but others are afraid there will he no reactloa of sentiment and hence want as moist a law as It is feasible to g e t The real drys, however, have so oomplete a majority In hath houses that they are giving small heed to how the wet* retard the prohibition outlook. j The Latest Appropriation Bills. For the normal school at Ypsilantl, including a new college building, j $820,000; $2,500 salary for the Wayne | county game warden; for a model teachers' training school at Ann Ar- ! bor, $325,000; for clerical expenses in compiling the index of the state laws, $1,000 to each commissioner; salary increases for the food department officials, including $3,000 a year for the commissioner instead of $2,000 and $2,- 500 for his deputy instead of $1,500; salary increase for the secretary of I the state tax commission from $2,000 to $3,500; for Owosso armory, $3,500; for publication of the report of the commission investigating the system of public care of the poor, $750; to build a state training school for women, $250,000; for additions to the colleges of engineering and arcttecture at the University of Michigan, $250,000. Rep. Farrier introduced a bill to make the state game department become self-supporting by ordering that it pay all salaries and expenses out of fees derived from the sale of licenses and from other sources. Agricultural College Affaire. The affairs of the Michigan Agricultural College are figuring in recent legislative proposals. One move Is to establish a new board in charge of the college's affairs, with four of the six members on it men who are actually engaged in farming. The idea is contained in a Joint resolution introduced by Rep. John Schmidt, of Os« coda, of Osceola county, proposing a constitutional amendment to have an entire new board for the college elect* ed in 1919. Rep. Evans, of Lenawee, has introduced a bill in the house to the effect that no salary or other compensation may be paid to any one on the retired list who does no actual work for the college. This is said to be aimed at President Emeritus Snyder, who Is paid $2,500 a year. Btfta. The so-called •social tauuranae afcT, waa offered In the house by Rep. •allett, of Kalamaxoo. This would make compulsory the taking of health assurance by every one earning $100 a month or less, the state to pay a portion of the Insurance tn ease ef the sickness of the holder. Opponents af this bill declare that It would iaarease state expenses heavily. It Is hacked by a national labor groupj Further proposed Insurance legislation includes proposed amendment! ta the workmen's compensation law te anise the minimum compensation to Injured workmen from $4 to $5 a week sad the maximum from $10 ta $15 a week; to pay a workman for his first week's Incapacity If ha la laid up fear weeks; and to cut off payments to a widow without depeadeat ahllarsn v&sa aha Wider Scope for Co-operative Cos. Senator Lee Morford, of Gaylord, has Introduced a bill to allow co-operative companies to be engaged In business for profit, and to handle mercantile articles and food stuffs. The companies would be directed by boards of five directors chosen by tha stockholders and the latter would have one vote each regardless of the amount of stock held. One-tenth of the membership could propose amendments to the by-laws or petition for the recall of any officer. It also Is provided that one such association couid own 20 per cent of the stock of another one that was engaged in tha seme lines of business.

Should t i e United States choose to develop all her vast powers, military expert* agf.ee, she will become the strongest in litary nation in the world, Nw belligere it on either side will e<;ual her. Other nt^ions, or empires, have larger populations; but none has so ninny intelligent, energetic citizens of th ? type fro.u which, universal experieu- e shows, the best fighting material comes. Vo other nation can approach her in natural r» sources. No other n ition can approach her in actual wealth. >'o other nation can approach her in self'efficiency and ability to flourish without outside assistance of any sort. No other i.ation can approach her, history show^ in the invention of new weapons of war; and leading American military tuun know that this factor fakes a very important position in the calculations of foreign military councils when estimating the ability of the United States to resist or to attack. The population of the United States and its colo&ial possessions is nearly as large as the combined population of Germany and Austria-Hungary. The entrance of the United States into the war would add to the resources of the entente a national stock of gold as large as the combined" gold reserve of France, Russia and Great Britain. When the gold in private hands is considered the preponderance of Uncte Sam is still more impressive. The gold stock of the central powers together is only about one-fifth of ours. But iron, steel and copper are still more important In war than gold, and here the United ft tales shines so brilliantly as to dim the rest of the world. The United States produces more pig iron than all the other countries of the world combined. The central powers' pig Iron production is equivalent to three-eighths of this country's production. Great Britain, France and Russia combined produce only a little more thau half the amount mined and smelted here. But when we come to copper, that Indispensable of war, the full importance of the United States is realized. In 1916 the United States produced twice as much copper as the rest of the world. The central powers produce about one twenty-fourth as much copper as the United States. Great Britain, with all her colonies, produces only one-twelfth as much. In Industrial development and largescale production, American energy and ingenuity lead the world. While exact figures are lacking, it 18 known certainly that the United States has more than four times as many automobiles as all of the rest of tha world put together. And the rate of production is putting this country farther ahead In automobile ownership every moment, despite vast ex* porta tiona. About three-fourths of the automobile factory facilities, it is estimated, will be put to work immediately on munitions la case of war. Tha railroad system of the United States compared with other nations, Is a giant among pigmies.. It would be possible to spread this inventory of the American resources over many pages. Nowhere else does a man's labor produce so much as here, due to the unequaled utilisation of mechanical power. AH that is needed to turn this] mighty cataract of national energy to tha business af war ta time and preparation. REAR ADMIRAL W. 8. BEN60N.

WARSHIPS Big Firms Double Their Forces and Put Contracts for Navy Ahead of All Others. Washington.—Construction of navy craft by the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock company, the Fore River Shipbuilding company and the Electric Boat company will be speeded up to the limit of the plants. Work on two battleships at the plant of the Newport News company, at Secretary Daniels' suggestion, already is proceeding under doubled crews, and the offers of the other two companies to take similar steps met with the secretary's hearty approval. At the Newport News plant it is estimated that the battleship Mississippi, recently launched, can be completed by midsummer instead of January 1, 1918, as called for in the contract. The keel of one of the four new battleships recently contracted for will be laid on the slip vacated by the Mississippi instead of a merchant vessel, as had been intended. Representatives of the Fore River and Electric Boat companies called on Mr. Daniels, offering to rush work on destroyers and submarines for which they have contracts, setting aside other private work to that end. They were told to go, ahead at full speed. The plan is to get the vessels launched as soon as possible, freeing stocks for the new set of destroyers and submarines to be authorized In the pending navy bill. WHAT A JEWELRY FBI* They tnvttted Some of Their Spare Money in Canadian Lands. B. Joseph & Sons, of Des Moines, Iowa, are looked upon as being shrewd* careful business men. Having soma spare money on hand, and looking for a suitable investment, they decided ta purchase Canadian lands, and farm & With the assistance of the Canadian Government Agent, at Des Moines, Iowa, they made selection near Champion, Alberta. They, put-240 acrt^af land La wheat, and in writing to Mr. Hewitt, the Canadian Government Agent at Des Moines, one of the members of the firm says: MI have much pleasure In advising you that on our farm five miles east of Champion, in the Province of Alberta, Canada, this year (1016 we harvested and threshed 10,600 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 Champion approximately $1.85 per bushel, making a total retura of $19,630, or an average of $S1.70 per acre gross yields. Needless to say, \va are extremely well pleased with oar lands." It might not be uninteresting to read the report of C. A. Wright of Mila, Iowra, who bought 160 acres at Chan>- pion, Alberta, for $3,300 in December, 1915. He stubbled in the whole lot of it, and threshed 4,487 bushels Grade No. 2 Northern. Mr. Wright, being a thorough business man, gives the cost of work, and the amount realized. These figures show that after paying for his la'id and cost of operation he had $2,472/67 left. 4,487 bushels, worth $1.55 at Champion $6,954.85 Threshing bill, l i e per bushel $ 493.57 Seed at 95c 144.00 Drilling 160.00 t .

In recent target practice this ship fired 56 shots from her 14-inch guns, and the target, at varying ranges, was smashed 43 times, a record that is believed to equal, if not surpass, any record with similar guns In any other navy.

A few days afterward she receivad a letter from him in hospital, stating that on the night of her dream, about midnight, he was one of a raldlajr party, composed of English sad New Zealanders, and was wounded whilst standing on the top of the Genua* trench.

Adv. LOVrS CODE BY SEARCHLIGHT Ferryboat Captain Nightly Signals Little Deaf and Dumb Daughter. Searchlight flashes, mysterious and baffling, seen nightly for several weeks off the Richmond and Berkeley water fronts, which have puzzled East Bay residents and even made them uneasy, are now explained. They Indicate no fell plot; they reveal no piratical activities. They are simply a "love code" between a lonesome daddy and his lonesome little girl, the San Francisco Chronicle states. The daddy is Cnpt H. F. Dunnlngan of the Santa Fe ferryboat San Pedro, and the ojrl is his twelve-year-old daughter Florence, a patient in the State Institute for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind at Berkeley. Happily she retains the faculty of sight, and nightly she sits, her nose flattened against the pane of her window, waiting for the messages that come to her across miles of land and water. There appears a finger of light, painting a half-circle against the clouds; daddy is saying: "Hello," Three short flashes, "Love from daddy." Then, as the San Pedro swings out of range, the light sweeps the sky, that means "Good-night, with love and kisses." But the most welcome of all the sig nals Is the stream of light held steadily against the window, through which peers the little face. That Indicates that daddy Is coming on his weekly visit, and then little Florence is In the height of bliss. Frog Hide in Skin Grafting. A successful method of skin grasfclag, ra which frog skin Is used instead of human Hkin, as a covering for slowhealing wounds, is described In the British Medical Journal by Cnpt. M. W. M. Kendall. Wounds in which the skin has been destroyed heal naturally with a contracting scar, which is often unsightly and inconvenient, hat this method leaves a Beat and supple scar. Frog skin can he obtained hi abundance at the front. The tone* skin ea the inner side of the frog's leg is snipped off with scissors, spread out and applied by its under surface te the wound, which hes been cleansed without antiseptics. * * then fixed at place by a torerlng of guttapercha tissue and a dry dressing. In three days the site of the graft appears as a Rpot branching outward toward the edges of the wound. After the fifth day the wound Is dressed with boric ointment until healing is completed, all contraebeing avoided. Squelching a Dealer. I sell you some antiques, sit?" •What have you in stock?"

By ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN There is no more profitable pastime for the winter days and nights than the planning of the bulb beds that are to come with the new season. Everyone knows just how large a place In the lawn the beds can have. There is no question a s to the location of the beds. Why not plan an arrangement that will make your beds attract attention as the distinctive work of a person of ideas? First, measure your lawn space and decide how many beds you will hove. Then take a sheet of paper and lay off on It the entire lawn and draw Into It a number of designs. The more you practice making drawings for the beds the easier it will become and the more apt you are to get something that will make the passers pause to admJre not only the fiowera but the genius of their arrangement. Hyacinths, tulips and daffodils, with a background of lilies, makes a fine combination. There Is no limit to the number of designs and arrangements that can be made, and every shape and angle known to the geometry can be utilized in the plans. As an item of home pleasure and Instruction some slight regard might be offered to the children for the brightest suggestions. It will create a new interest among them in the flowers and will prove of material value as well as having educational elements. There a r e so few things about the management and making of a home where the children ever get a chance to t a k e a hand In suggesting work that they usually like the dignity of being consulted. The potato is first pierced with a steel crochet needle or a wo-.«den meat s k e w e r - Then the c l u i n g in run uli the way through the potato. Several cuttings a r e placed in one potato. The potato is then soaked In w a ' e r over night and planted in a protected place near a fence or wall. A preserve j a r is used to oiver the cutting, with a weight on top »o keep it from blowing over and. at the same time, to prevent sunburn. The cuttings a r e left until spring when it will be found that In nearly every case they have rooted. Killed in Hunting Accident. Alpena.—William r h a t u l o i . thirty year* old, of Onav.av, w a s killed, and F r a n k Hughes, also of Onaway. was painfully injured when a ll'-gauge shotgun discharged as Adam Ilarscher, who was carrying the weapon, tripped and fell while the men were hunting rabbits. The contents of the gun struck Chataloi over the heart and a few stray pellets of shot struck Hughes in the face and neck. Ilarscher, who was carrying the weapon, could with difficulty be prevented from killing himself. Purify Water In Lily Pond*. To purify water in the Illy ponds and to destroy Insect life in It, slake fresh stone lime in water, mnklng a liquid as for whitewash, then stir some of this into the water until it becomes thoroughly Incorporated.

A FLOWER OF THE RICH | ROSES SET IN POTATOES i i : How many lovers of roses ever tried I he plan of setting cuttings in potai toes? T h e success of the idea- is i vouched for by several able culturists. j T h e Idea is to take cuttings from the • late blooming wood and make the poi tatoes supply both the food and the moisture for the winter rooting. # Everyone of the recent flower show* In the East h a s been marked by the keen competition displayed among t h e wealthy patrons for a w a r d s In the Tchlgantus class.

It seems to offer little for the person with the I small garden because of the care and ' t h e amount of outlay that seems to be ' necessary to get t h e best results with It. Undoubtedly, it presents a rich apj p e a m n c e and is worth all the care that : may be bestowed by those who possess the means, but most of the average readers will find something else In the garden that presents just a s rich an ; aspect with less requirement of lahor to bring it to perfection.

T h e s e are the w o r d s of the German emperor—quoted from his speech a t t h e dedication of the naval a c a d e m y at Murvik, N o v e m b e r 21, 1910. T h i s speech, atenographically reported, w a s published w i t h ofllclul sanction and attracted world attention. T h e e v e n t s of the past f e w years add e n o r m o u s l y to its significance. Addressing t h e c a d e t s Emperor William s a i d : ''Now I will g i v e you a little warning, in passing, on a q u e s t i o n which lies very much on my heart for my nation. T h i s Is the q u e s t i o n of alcohol a n d drink.

P1NCXNEY DOPATOH ED W A N T E D BY STATE DEPARTMENT FOR POSITIONS IN DIPLOMATIC SERVICE. WORK IS VERY ATTRACTIVE Good Education and One Foreign Language Required—Promotion, However, Usually Stops Short of the Rank of Minister. By GEORGE CLINTON. "Washington. -Uncle Sam needs ynunjj; men fur the diplomatic service. The positions open to young Americans are, of course, In the lower ranks of the foreign service, but there is a chance for promotion and if the desire Is to inuke the diplomatic service u life employment, the man who takes a place in it may know that if he makes good he can work for his great and good uncle as long as lie wishes. The other day William Phillips of Massachusetts was promoted to be assistant secretary of state. One of his first acts 1n taking up his new duties was to issue an appeal to young Americans to try to enter the diplomatic service. Mr. Phillips said: "I appeal to the young men of the country who have the necessary educational and linguistic qualities and who are Interested in International affairs to consider seriously the honorable career which the diplomatic service now offers them. The department of state Is endeavoring to enlist for its foreign work the highest type of American men, and there never has been a more auspicious moment In our history In which to enter upon such a career." The young American who may wish to enter the diplomatic service and who succeeds in passing the examination must not take It for granted that he is to be an actual diplomat, for diplomatic service includes our forel^ u officers who look after trade relations and business opportunities for American firms seeklag outlets. What Is Required. In order to enter the service the young American must be well educated and be able to speak at least one language beside his own, and the second language must be one which is In use among many people._ For Instance, knowledge of English and Welsh would not be sufficient, for Welsh Is in exceedingly limited use. French, German, Spanish .or Jtalian are the languages usually to be understood, In addition to English, by the young men who succeed In getting positions In our foreign offices. Promotion comes In the foreign service of the United States up to a certain point, and It would go beyond that point perhaps in some cases were it not for the fact that the government does not pay Its ministers and ambassadors enough money "to sustain their positions." This means, of course, that nobody but a rich man can afford to take the post of ambassador to Great Britain, to France, to Germany, to Italy, or to auy other great country. Some of our ambassadors spend three or four times the amounts of their salaries In "keeping up" their position. No Freaks in Inaugural Parade. Word has gone out that there must be no "frcuk exhibits" In the big Inaugural parade of men and women who are to march and show themselves on Pennsylvania avenue on March 5, the day this year on which Woodrow Wilson will take the oath of office for the second time as president of the United States. The managers of the big events count it curious that so many Americans of supposed sense have shown a disposition to believe that a certain amount of buffoonery is all right on an occasion like the high one of Inducting a president Into office. All kinds of things were suggested to the committee which it was supposed by the suggesters would add enjoyment to the occasion. The answer has been that clowns are all right in a circus and end men In a minstrel show, but that grease, paint, didos and antics are not fitting for an occasion like tb* coming one. Washington Is going to be a city of light on the nights that the Inaugural visitors are here. Inasmuch as March 4 falls on Sunday this year it Is expected that the visitors attracted by the inaugural ceremonies will come on Saturday and therefore have one more day than usual to spend 'In our midst." Therefore the nights are tn be'made like the days In the eyes of the assembled multitudes. City a Blaze of Light. Pennsylvania avenue and all the streets shooting down Into it are to be li rum inn ted to the limit possible by the lighting powers now held by tbe electric companies of tbe district.

Irrespective ot political uttiliatioas or of administration or niitlud ministration views, the populace will comply with the request. In thU part of the country there are a good many hunt clubs. Over lu Virginia and even on the edge of tht: district the wily and elusive fox frequently la hunted by men and women In pink riding clothes, who take ditches and occasionally stone walla with the abandonment of the old-time fox hunters of Galway, Ireland. The hunt dubs are to form a part of the inaugural day parade. One of them will be marshaled by a woman, a young and good-looking woman who daringly rides to hounds across country on every occasion when the dogs are let loose and the fox breaks from cover. These hunt clubs cannot be included iu the freak class. The horses are thoroughbreds and every man and woman is a tine rider. Moreover, they [ are all undergoing a little preliminary military drill which will enable them to keep the line perfect and to depart not from the order of formation unless perchance some luckless hound in the street crowd should start its hue and cry, and habit, stronger than the check reiu, make the horses momentarily forget themselves. Wilson Again Does Unexpected. President Wilson's appearance In the senate wing of the capltol as a personal proponent of the legislation which he desires the majority party in j congress to pass, was not the astounding surprise to senators and members that the country generally seems to think that it was. Ever since he has come into office the president has been doing the unexpected along a dozen different lines of endeavor. The result of this has been that when something new comes surprise, if not minimized, Is, so to speak, ameliorated. The determination of the president to address congress at the opening of each session Instead of sending a written message, as had been the custom for years upon years, was a sort of u bombshell of surprise In itself. There was an Immense amount of discussion over the president's action at that time. He was criticized severely by a good many senators and members Irrespective of party, although, of course, the severest criticism came from the Republicans, while such of the Democrats as objected to the proceeding said sharp things In the cloakroom and reserved milder words of reproof for the open. Others Have Broken Precedents. The direct address to congress at the opening of a session and the -appearance of the president at the capitol at a few other times to talk over legislation acted as something of a shock absorber when the recent declaration of intention to make frequent visits to the capitol was announced. During every- administration something Is sure to happen which surprises the lawmakers and perhaps the public with them, and gives the critics ample opportunity to talk their sharp words. Roosevelt smashed a few precedents and Mr. Taft did so likewise. Mr. Wilson has followed suR, but has done It "a little more so." Precedent breaking by a president and the consequent and instant criticism are not confined to supposed Interference with the legislative Independence of congress. This brenking away from the conventions of the years sometimes concerns Itself with social matters, but whether the departures are legislative, political or social, the tongues all go wagging for a week. Then Washington gets accustomed to the new order, stops taking and forgets all about the cause for. the talk. CONGRESS IS GIVEN REASONS FOR OUR BREAK WITH GERMANY Arthur Dined Often With a Friend. In the old days presidents were chary about breaking any kind of precedents and If they did break them, they tried to keep the breaking quiet. There has been an unwritten rule in Washington since the days of Madison that a president should not make personal or social calls on friends, and should not attend any social functions unless they were virtually of national size, or were intended to forward some great charitable cause. President Chester A. Arthur was a socially Inclined man. He wanted to leave the White House to dine with friends whenever he felt the Inclination so to do. He checked his desires along this Hoe because he did not want to give offense to the precedent worshipers, but he Indulged his desires nevertheless about once a week. After he had left office it was found that unknown either to the gossips or the nongossips of Washington he had dined regularly once a week with an old friend who had a "corking good cook." Mr. Roosevelt when he was president kept pretty close to the lines of established social precedence, but" he was independent enough of gossip to dine once In a while with some dose friend, like Henry Gab* Mr. Taft was eaoce of a vtstsof ea an veto Washington. Feb. 3.—President Wilson appeared before congress in Joint session this afternoon and set forth the reasons which led him to order the diplomatic break with Germany. His address was as follows: "To the congress. February 3, 1917. Gentlemen of the Congress: "The Imperial German government on the 31st of January announced to this government and to the governments of the other neutral nations that on und after the 1st day of February, the present month, It would adopt a policy with regard to the u*e of submarines against all shipping seeking to pass through certain designated areas of the high seas to which It Is clearly my duty to call your attention. "Let me remind the congress that on the ISth of April last, In view of the sinking on the 24th of March of the cross Channel passenger steamer Sussex by a German submarine, without summons or warning, and the consequent loss of the lives of several citizens of the United States, who were passengers aboard her. this government addressed a note to the Imperial German government In which it made the following declarations: " 'If It still be the purpose of the imperial government to prosecute relentless and Indiscriminate warfare against vessels of commerce by the use of submarines without regard to what the government of the United States must consider the sacred and indisputable rules of international law and the universally recognized dictates of humanity, the government of the United States is at last forced to the conclusion that there is but one course it can pursue. Unless the Imperial government should now and Immediately declare and effect an abandonment of its present methods of submarine warfare against passenger and freight carrying vessels, the government of the United States can have no choice but to sever diplomatic relations with the German empire altogether/ "In reply to this declaration the Imperial German government gave this government the following assurance: " "The German government Is prepared to do Its utmost to confine the operations of the war for the rest of its duration to the fighting forces of the belligerents, thereby also assuring the freedom of the seas, a principle upon which the German government believes, now as before, to be in agreement with the government of the United States. " 'The German government, guided by this Idea, notifies the government of the United States that the German naval forces have received the following orders: In accordance with the general principles of visit and search and destruction of merchant vessels recognized by International law, such vessels, both within and without the area declared as naval war zone, declared as naval war zone, shall not be sunk without warning and without saving human lives, unless these ships attempt to escape or offer resistance. " 'But,' it added, 'neutrals cannot expect that Germany, forced to flght for her existence, shall, for the sake of neutral interests, restrict the use of an effective weapon if her enemy is permitted to continue to apply at will methods of warfare violating the rules of International law. Such a demand would be incompatible with the char* acter of neutrality, and the German government is convinced that the government of the United States does not think of making such a demand, knowing that the government of the United States has repeatedly declared that it is determined to restore the principle of the freedom of the seas, from whatever quarter It has been violated.' "To this the government of the United States replied on the eighth of May, accepting, of course, the assurance given* but adding: " "The government of the United States feels It necessary to state that It takes ft for granted that the imperial German government does not intend it to imply that the maintenance of its newly announced policy is in any way contingent upon the course of results of diplomatic negotiations between the government of the United States and other belligerent governments, notwithstanding the fact that certain passages in the imperial government's note of the fourth Instant might appear to be susceptible of that construction. In order, however, to avoid any possible misunderstanding, the government of the United States notifies the Imperial government that it cannot for a moment entertain, much less discuss, a suggestion that respect by German naval authorities for the lights of dtlsens of tbe United j States upon the high seas should in any way la tba anghtsat degree ba fawfingsnt vpon tba conduct of • o ^ n g tba Responsibility in such matters is single, not joint; absolute, not relative.' ' T o this note of the eighth of May the Imperial German government made no reply. On the thirty-first of January, the Wednesday of th« prenent week, the German ambassador handed to the secretary of state, along with a formal note, a memorandum which contains the following statements: " T h e Imperial government, therefore, does not doubt that the government of the United States will understand the situation thus forced upon Germany by- the entente allies' brutal methods of war and by their determination to destroy the central powers, and thnt the government of the United states will- further realize that the now openly disclosed Intentions of the entente allies give hack to Germany the freedom of action which she reserved In her note addressed to the government of the United States on May 4, 191C. " 'Under these circumstances Germany will jneet the Illegal measures of her enemies by forcibly preventing after February 1, 1917, in a zone around Great Britain. France, Italy and in the eastern Mediterranean all navigation, that of neutrals Included, from and to England and from and to France, etc.. etc. All ships met within the zone will be sunk.' "I think that you will agree with me thflt. in view of this declaration, which suddenly and without prior intimation of any kind deliberately withdraws the solemn assurance given In the imperial govprnment's note of the fourth of May. 191o. this government has no alternative consistent with the dignity and honor of the United States, but to* take the course which, In Its note of the eighteenth of April, 1016, It announced thnt It would take In the event that the Oermnn povernmpnt did not declarp and effect an abandonment of the methods of snhmnrlne warfare which It was then employing and to wtdoh it now purposes again to resort, "I have, therefore, directed the secretary of state to announce to his excellency the German ambassador that nil diplomatic relations between the United States and the German empire ore severed nnd that .the American ambassador at Berlin will be Immediately withdrawn, nnd In accordance wfth this decision to hand to his excellency his passports. "Notwithstanding this unexpected action of the German government, this sudden and deeply deplored renunciation of Its assurances, given this government at one of the most critical moments of tension in the relations of the two governments, I refuse to believe that It Is the Intention of the German authorities to do in fact what they have warned us they will feel at liberty to do. I cannot bring myself to believe that they will indeed pay no regard to the ancient friendship between their people and our own or to the solemn obligations which have been exchanged between them and destroy American* ships and take the lives of American citizens In the willful prosecution of the ruthless naval program they have announced their Intention to adopt. Only actual overt acts on their part can make me believe It even now. "If this inveterate confidence on my part in the sobriety and prudent foresight of their purpose should unhappily prove unfounded; if American ships and American lives should in fact be sacrificed by their naval commanders in heedless contravention of the Just and reasonable understandings of international law and the obvious dictates of humanity, I shall take the liberty of coming again before the congress, to ask that authority be given me to use any means that may be necessary for protection of our seamen and our people In the prosecution of their peaceful and legitimate errands on the high seas. I can do nothing less. I take it for granted that alt neutral governments will take the same course. "We do not desire any hostile conflict with the Imperial German government We are the sincere friends of the German people and earnestly desire to remain at peace with the government which speaks for them. We shall not believe that they are hostile to us unless and until we are obliged to believe It and we purpose nothing more than the reasonable defense of the undoubted rights of our people. We wish to serve no selfish ends.

When You Say You«" Prayers. In the Temple church *near the Lawcourt) In London, on the Sunday after our election, the master of the Temple, when he has finished his sermon, paused and said to his astonished congregation that since it appeared to be Quite certain that Doctor Wilson had been elected president of the United States, and so seemed certain to be called to take part In the peace negotiations which would befall during the next four years, 'T-would ask you to pray for him for a few moments, that he may have the divine guidance iu all that he may do." Surely that showed a wise spirit in the master of the Temple. Here, now, is Lord-Qeorge, chosen to cure the shortcomings of England, to strengthen her thews and extend her reach, and help her to win a great peace that will bring new hope to a battered world. It is s load of Atlas that rests on the little Welshman's shoulders. Are any of the brethren hereabouts prayerfully Inclined? There ts their man !—Life. Her Own Way. A. F. Thom, the representative of 83 per cent of America's railroads before the Newlands committee, said at a dinner: "The railroads are not Utopian. They know the kind of world It is, and they don't ask Impossibilities. "In fact, the railroads of late years have come to the rather grim outlook of the chap whose girl said :^ M 4Oh, no, George, I don't see how I could possibly marry you. You know I always want my own way In everything.' " 'You could keep on wanting lt,'_sald George, 'after we were married.'"

He could not take his gaze from her. So what he had trifled and toyed with, fought with nnd prayed against, doubted and questioned, laughed at and cried down, was sober, painful fact. Truth, heart-rending to behold In her stark, phinlng beauty, had been revealed to him in that moment of brushing finger-tips, and he had looked in her face and known his unworthiness; and he trembled and was afraid and ashamed. . . . The girl retreated to his side, returning the matches. A tongue of flame shot up from the peak of the pyre, and a column of smolre surpassed It, swinging off to leeward in great, red-bosomed volutes and whorls picked out with flying regl- -tnents of spartrs. They seated themselves with their backs to the lire and at a respectful distance from It, where they could watch the Jetting blades of light that ringed the far-off headland. Whitaker reclined on an elbow, relapsing into moody contemplation. The girl stirred uneasily, ttr aing her head to look at Whitaker. "You know," she said with a confused attempt to laugh: "this is really so canny, this place. Or else I'm balmy. I'm seeing things—shapes that stir against^the blackness, off there beyond the light, moving, halting, staring, hating us for butchering their ageold peace and quiet. Maybe I'll forget to see them, If you'll talk to me a little." MI can't talk to you," he said, angrnclous In his distress. "You can't? It's the first time It's been noticeable, then. What's responsible for this all-of-a-sudden change of heart?" "That's what's responsible." The words spoke themselves almost against his will. "You're very obscure,. Am I to understand that you've taken a sudden dislike -to me, so that you can't treat me with decent civility?" 'Tve always understood women knew what men meant before the men did, themselves." His voice broke a little. "Oh, can't you see how it is with roe? Can't you see?" he cried. "God forgive me! I never meant to inflict this on you, at such a time! I don't know why I have . . ." "You mean," she stammered in a voice of amaze—"you mean—lover "Can yotTdoubt it?" "No . . aot after what's happened, I presume. You wouldn't have followed—-yon wouldn't have fought so to save me from drowning—I suppose —If you hadn't—cared. . . . But I didn't know." "Then you're not—offended?" he asked, sitting up. "Why should I b e r The firelight momentarily outlined the smiling half wistful countenance she turned to him. "What woman would be who received ns great and honorable a compliment —from yon, Hugh?

He bowed that bead between hands that aunipreasBd cruelly bis temples, n wash I taewr he frosted la prewhy— your voice, as you used tt then. has run through my head and through, teasing my memory like a strain of music from some half-remembered song, it half-maddens me; I feel so strongly fh;jt everything would be so straight and plain and clear between us, if I could only fasten upon that fugitive, indeiinable something that's : always fluttering just beyond my grasp !" "You mean all that—honestly?" she demanded in an oddly startled voice. "Most honestly." He looked up in excitement. "You don't mean you've felt anything of the sort?" "No. 1"—her voice broke as if wltB weariness—"I don't mean that, precisely, i mean . . . Probably I don't know what I do mean. I'm really very tired, too tired to go on. j u s ^ now—to sit here with you, badgering our poor wits with esoteric subtleties. I think—do you miiid?—I'd better go in.' She rose quickly, without waiting for hl^ band. Whitaker straightened out Ms long body with more deliberation, standing finally at full height, his grave and moody countenance strongly relieved in the ruddy glow, while her fuce was all in shadow. "One moment," he begged humbly— "before we go in. I . . I've something eise to say to you. If I may." She waited, seriously attentive. "I haven't played fair, I'm afraid," he said, lowering his head to escape her steadfast gaze. "I've Just told you that I love you, but . . ." "Well?" she demanded in an odd, ringing voice. "Isn't it true?" "True?" He laughed unnaturally. "It's so true I—wish I had died before I told you!" "Please explain." she urged u trace wearily. "I," he stammered—"! am already married." She gave a little, stifled cry— whether of pain or horror or of indignation he could not tell. "I'm sorry—I—" he began. "Don't you think you might nave thought of this beforer "I . . . you don't understand-r* "So it would seem," she put in cruelly. "Please hear me! It was several years ago I married a girl I'd never seen before, to help her out of a desperate scrape she'd got into. We never lived together, never even saw one another after that hour. She had every reason to think me dead— as 1 should have been, by rights. But now she knows that I'm alive—is about to sue for a divorce." After a long pause, during which neither stirred, she told him, in a faint voice: "Thank you." She moved toward the house. "If you will forgive me—" "Oh, I forgive you, Mr. Whitaker. My heart !s really not Quite so fragile as all this implies. I think HI go to bed. I'm very, very tired, la spite of my sleep on the sands. That didn't rest me, really." They returned to the kitchen. In silence, while Whitaker fidgeted about the room, awkward and unhappy, the girl removed a glass lamp from the shelf above the sink, assured herself that it was filled, and lighted it. Then over her shoulder: "I hope you don't mean to stay up all night." "I—well, rm really not sleepy." "As soon as you feel the least need of sleep, you'll go to bed?* "I promise." "Very well, then." The Insistent note faded from ber tones. She moved toward the table, pat the lamp down, and hesitated la one of her strange, unpresaged moods of diffidence, looking down at the finger*tips with which she traced a meaningless pattern on the oilcloth. T o d are kind," she said abruptly. her head bowed, her face bidden from him. "Kind r he echoed, dumfounded. "You are kind and sweet and generous to roe," she insisted in a level voice.

He was up and out in the cnol of dawn, before sunrise, delaying tn llstpn for some minutes at the foot of the stairway. But he heard no sound in that stii! house, and there wan no longer the night to affright the woman with hinted threats of nameless horrors lurking beneath its Impenetrable cloak. He felt no longer bound to stand sentinel on the threshold of her apprehension*. He went out. The day would be clear. In the white magic of air like crystal translucent and motionless, the world seemed more close-knitted and sane. What yesterday's veiling of haze had concealed was now bold end near. In the north the lighthouse stood like a horn on the brow of the headland, the lamp continuing to flash even though its light was darkened, its beams out- A Tongue of Flame 8hot Up. stripped by the radiant forerunners of the son. On the nearer land human life was Quickening; here and there paie streamers of smoke swung up from hidden chimneys on its wooded riaee. Whitaker eyed them with longing. But they were distant from attainment by at the least three miles of tideway through which strong waters raced.

What was tb* matter with tha addle-pata* thiaja, HELIOGRAPH USED IN AFRIC/ Wireless Telegraphy Has Not Entirely Supplanted Sunlight Signaling. The heliograph, although largely superseded by wlreiews telegraphy, still is used on the frontiers of India and In South Africa, where the air is clear and signals can be seen over long distances, Botha's men are using It, and so are his opponents, though perhaps they seldom think this method of signaling by means of flashing reflections of the sun's rays is more than 2,00() years old, being Invented by Tacitus. The shields of soldiers, grouped in a prearranged manner, were used, but. of course, the system was very primitive and transmission slow, only the simplest expressions being possible. Under favorable conditions a hell v graph signal can be read for very long distances, 770 miles being not at all uncommon, while i5 years ago Major Home, on the staff of General French, managed to send messages for UU miles, for long n record. Recently this has been outdone, nnd the same oflicer was able to read quite clearly signals which were flashed from a distance of 130 miles. Captain Sadler of the Carubinlers. using a ,V Inch heliograph from Compass Beg, talked to Major Home on the Cockscombo mountain, near Ultenhage, a record which remains unbeaten. The Country Weeker.

Minor league players utbliated with (lie Players' fraternity and pledged to support Dave Fultz in bis ntrike movement against organized baseball will •have to c a r r y ' the brunt of battle -against the club owners if the major l e a g u e players continue to show their •disapproval of the 1 hreatened strike a n d sign contracts. .Many of the bi.:,' league players who are members of the fraternity have already .signed against t h e order of President Fultz, while many others have announced publicly and privately that they are not in symp a t h y with the strike movement and will sign juat as soon as tbey can come to a satisfactory agreement with their *mployers on the salary question. I t 1¾ simply a case of playing politics with some of the players. 'They are fusing the fraternity order as an excuse t o r not sliming their contracts with the hope t h a t the club owners will beome frightened Jind raise the ante a •>it In order ;•, ind/nce tbem to put their -names to a <..cutract. So far, However, there appeal-; to be no evidence on the part of the owners that tIns will weaken In their stand, and the result in t h a t quite :: number of players h a r e wavered and sent in their contracts with the ivquost t h a t their names be kept secret i.ntll the present differences a r e adjusted. It might be interesting t o Mr. F u l u if be l.i;ev just how many members of. the fraternity have expressed their disapproval of big strike threats and have notified the club owners that tbc;> win sign when the proper time comes. v The major league players are beginning to realize the futility of waging "war against the club owners. President Fultz has declared t h a t till mem Sern of the ntter are in sympathy with the minor league players and their demands* iUKi have pledged themselves to nold out with the ••little fellows" until the minor league association is willing to grant these requests, But. while the major league players may be heartily iu favor of the minor league men getting ill they can from ^he club owners, they do not see why they should make a fight which cannot succeed and lose money themselves by so doing. A few players have expressed themselves us being ui sympathy with F jilt a and hip strike movement and ) have declared th"ey will not report in , the spring until ibe Unitier Is adjusted j in a m a n n e r satisfactory to boili sides. i but I he majority of the players who h a v e ' n o t signed are holding off with the expectation of receiving a little more money for signing. As a matter ! of fact, the -dub owners have not pressed I he players to sign the con tracts sent to tbem ibis season. They realize wli.n ii means l~<n- a player \sh<> is a member of the fraternity to sign a contract at this lime, whether or uol In- signed rhe pi edge to hold out until .given permi>Mon. They know what H means lo he ridden by the other players during the season and realize that their men can avoid ibis by bidding off until t h e very last moment. It is to be expected that the players who a r e not satisfied with their contracts will u*e the fraternity's order about signing without permission as as an excuse, but with a large number of players already under contract and defections from the ranks almost every day, in addition to the statements from well known major league players that tbey are not in sympathy with the strike movement, it does not appear that the minor league players can depend upon very strong support from their brothers in the big leagues. It is fully e x a c t e d that before Feb. 20, the date set for the test of the union's strength, rolls around there will be some amicable adjustment of the trouble so that the season will open as usual on sohedu'e time. If there is not some sell lenient reached it is going to be a bad year for baseball.

Not always in the past have t h e tricks of the trade m pugilism been of the sort that ibe spoiling person would appreciate. Nearly a l w a y s they h a v e savored of a d v a n t a g e taking. They extend in range from greasing the body to putting cayenne pepper on the gloves to blind the enemy. Hut the trick resuried to by Billy .Miske hi his recent bout with J a c k l.dllou was jusiiiiable and successful. It w a s also a hor*e on Jack, the one lime giant killer. The skin over Miske's left eye had been slashed in his bout with Charlie Weinert, making a siight w o u n d ; - b u t one that was easily opened and which then bled freely. Knowing that Dillon would proceed to work on it the momeut it became visible, Miske's board of strategy sat on the case and lically decided to operate. They dolled up the bad eye until it was scarcely noticeable, then turned in and painted a wound over the well eye, adding a strip of adhesive tape along the eyebrow. This drew Dillon's fire immediately and continuously. Throughout the fight his m a r k s m a n s h i p was fairly effective, as was s h o w n by the fact t h a t he knocked off the tape three times, so dispatches read. But the eye, being sound, w a s not damaged, w h e r e a s had the bad eye been made a target Miske would have been streaming blood, influencing the public's view and Miske's ability to do his best. T h e incident probably was funny to everybody but Dillon, whose sense of humor m a y have been ruined by the populnr verdict against him.

Diamonds in their native state are of a led gray color. Their famous briliancy and beauty are in the native atone, but the development ia slow and difficult. They are ground on metal discs covered with diamond dust and oil and revolving with great rapidity. It often requires months and even years to develop them, but when they are done the reward is ample compensation for the toil. So God's jewels, our characters, must be developed by patient and loving service to God and man, when at last the best in each on«s character will be seen.

CARNATIONS RENEWING POPULARITY THE WINTER SUN PARLOR Shortly after the death of the late President MeKlnley the carnation had a perfect wave of popularity, due largely to the fact that Mr. McKinley was particularly fond of the Mower and nearly always wore one in his buttonhole. For a time, following tin* first Interest In the flower, it seemed to be on the wane as a public favorite. Now the carnation is riding buck to the place of a leading fad. The dealers do not know why, but they are getting a demand for more of the carnation fatnily than they have for years. White, pink and deeper red are the shades in vogue, although some of the mixed flowers sell well. PUSCHKINIA LITTLE KNOWN It Is surprising how tittle known Is the puschkinla among the bulb plants that are worth while. It Is a very charming flower and is worth a place in any garden. It Is one of the very cheapest of the bulb family. The bulbs only cost about one cent each. When once placed they produce beautiful spikes of flowers each spring. The spikes rarely grow more than half a dozen inches high, but each of them will produce from 15 to 30 flowers, and they are lasting. The bulbs are planted at the same time and In the same way a s other members of ihe bulb tribe, being set about throo inches a p a r t One of the very easiest luxuries to have Is a sun parlor for the winter. There Is no more delightful adjunct to a home than a sun parlor and the outlay for Us making Is Inconsiderable when compared to the comfort and Joy that it brings. The parlor may be built as an added thought to a home already constructed, or It may be merely the adaptation of a balcony or a porch, converted by simply closing In the porch with glass. The furnishings are simple. A few large and comfortable chairs, a lounge, a table and a rug or two make up the prime essentials. Of course one may have flowers in the sun parlor with advantage to both the parlor and the flowers. DEVELOPING HONEYSUCKLE There was a time when but two classes of honeysuckle were known. One of them was the climbing type; the other the wild variety that children brought In from the woods. Recent cultures show that the honeysuckle is being developed In tree, or bush form, with all of the individual characteristics of the wild variety and the best results of culture added. The bushes make attractive nnd valuable home garden decorations and will be much sought during the coming season. The plants give both flowers andfoliage, nnd In addition supply a perfume that Is pleasing. te.masuojijr i»eneitiB} i w a i v w F i M i ' w * m wee m n M P *'J^S^^I^SL Ji^'^^w^AeBo^J^^^^S^B^kn p • ^^ >^ ^ ^a a^* ALL WORTH WHIE EVERY KIND OF FAD HAS SOME ADVANTAGE. Trouble la, One U Apt to Go Into Them With Too Great Enthusiasm at First—Three Good Examples of That Kind. Do you remember a few years ago when we all went wild jibout paperbag cookeryV Everything from soup to pudding we baked In paper bags, and we vowed that every dish that had been cooked by that new method possessed a strange deliciousness that never have been gained but through the paper bag. SVe bought recipe books and no end of bags. We liked the fad for a while and then we forgot We had a few failures and we became disgusted. So passed the fad for paper bags. And then came a new vogue for casserole cooking. To be sure, similar dishes bad been cooked with similar results in France, Spain, Germany and Scotland, and other lands, for eons of years. But somehow our culinary interest was focused on the casserole, and we swore our eternal and undying devotion to I t It was chicken en casserole, beef en casserole and everything else en casserole until we forgot all about the casserole and relegated it to the top shelf with the paper bags. At one time In the history of our culinary experiments we became addicted to the use of the tireless cooker. We spent our good money on a large and complete outfit and spent long hours experimenting with the' various appliances. But before we had saved in fuel enough to cover half the cost of the tireless cooker we grew weary and up to the attic went the tireless cooker In disgrace. Now, the really sensible' thing to do would be to accept these fad., for what they are worth and to keep them all. There are things that can In no other way be so well or so conveniently cookedt as In paper, bags. Baked fish in a pa'per bag Is delicious and leaves no dishes to be washed. Casserole chicken Is more delicious than any other sort of chicken and an occasional casserole stew is well worth while. For cereals and many sorts of meat dishes the tireless cooker is a convenience to every housewife, and surely vegetables and puddings cooked In glass have many decided advantages. Therefore, keep all these devices for what they are worth, and take care not to exhaust your Interest at first by too great enthusiasm.

Jellies make attractive* garnishes, for tbey sparkle and quiver and, best of all, add to the taste of what they decorate. Little molds for stamping out decorations may be bought, but they are not needed if you have a sharp-pointed knife and a steady hand. Invert a glass of very cold currant or crabapple Jelly onto a cutting board and slice It, and then cut it Into strips, hearts, rings and such figures. These are pretty on all custards and on floating Island and delicate molds. Married Life. Billy was about to be married, and his friends—married friends—were giving him good advice, the burden of which was "Forget it!" But Billy was not to be dissuaded. "Oh, I don't know," he replied. "Marriage Is all right if you take it in the right way. Now all this talk about matrimonial quarrels, arguments, and so on, Is all nonsense. Surely you can accept one another's point of view ! And, anyway, there's always an answer to every argument," "Oh, Is there?" growled the old married man. "I tell you, my boy, there's one argument In married life that you'll never be able to answer." "ReaJlyl And what's thnt?" "Why, when your wifp suys : 'If the Browns can afford it, we can!' You try to fiud an answer to that!" Cornmeal Griddle Cakes. Mix one cupful cornmeal, one-half cupful flour, one-quarter teaspoonful salt, two teaspoonfuls molasses, one rounded teaspoonful baking powder and enough milk and water (mixed) t o make a thin batter.

It will shrink and pull out a hole larger than the original. „,A loosely twisted knitting silk Is excellent for the purpose. When washed the darn will have almost the same thickness as the knitted goods. Slight Mistake. A very short-sighted old gentleman going into one of our large towns for the first time, and coming from the heart of the country, seeing a man digging, went to him, and said: "My man, for whom diggest thou this long and narrow grave?" But the man took no notice. Going closer, he remarked again: "My man, for whom diggest thou this long and narrow grave?" "Go on, you silly old fossil!" said the workman. "I'm only laying gaspipea!" IS CHILD GROSS, FEVERISH, SICK Look, Mother! If tongue is coated, give "California Syrup of Figs." Children love this "fruit laxative,** and nothing else cleanses the tender stomach, liver and bowels so nicely. A child, simply will not stop playing to empty the bowels, and the result Is they become tightly clogged with waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach sours, then your little one becomes cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat, sleep or act naturally, breath Is bad, system full of cold, has sore throat, stomach-ache or diarrhea. Listen, Mother! See if tongue is coated, then give a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of Figs," and in a few hours all the constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of the system, and you have a well child again. Millions of mothers give "California Syrup of Figs" because it is perfectly harmless; children love It, and it never fails to act on the stomach, liver and bowels. ' Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all *iges nnd for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle. Adv. Marriage Bonds. After the screen wedding, Mr. Kross turned to his little boy, remarking, "Wasn't that pretty?" "Yes," lie replied, "but I am never going to pet married." "Why not?" his father asked. "Because I have lived with married folks too long." ANY CORN LIFTS OUT, DOESN'T HURT A BIT! No foolishness! Lift your oorni and calluses off with finger It's like magic! Sore corns, hard corns, soft corn* or any kind of a corn, can harmlessly be lifted right out with the fingers if you apply upon the corn a few drops of freezone, says a Cincinnati authority. For little cost one can get a small bottle of freezone at any drug store, which will positively rid one's feet of every corn or callus without pain. This simple drug dries the moment It Is applied and does not even irritate the surrounding skin while applying It or afterwards. • This announcement will Interest many of our readers.

That Western Canada is indeed "Mistress of Wheat" to the extent that Its 1915 crop exceeded, acre for acre, the production of any country on this continent 1B a striking fact proved by the following figures: In 1915 the Dominion of Canada pro- 3uced 376,000,000 bushels of wheat, vhich represented an average yield of 29 bushels to the acre. The United States produced 1,011,505,000 bushels, field of 17 bushels per acre. The only serious competitors in wheat production in South America were Argentine, with 178,221,000 bushels, or less than 12 bushels per acre, and Chile, with 19,000,000 bushels er 13 bushels per icre. The three Western Canadian prairie provinces' of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta produced between them 142,000,000 bushels out of the total Canadian 376,000,000 bushels. It will be seen, therefore, that, outside of the United States, Western Canada proluced considerably more than the^combined production of North and South America. Canada Is of course a newsettled country, and the fact that the .Top of the United States was practi- 'nlly three times as much is no discouragement. The United States has it present more than twelve times the copulation of Canada in approximately :he same area. To illustrate further the greater productiveness of Western Canadian In-nd, tve submit Jhe following figures, showing the 191$ yields per acre In the three provinces sof Western Canada and in the states which in that year produced the greatest quantity of wheat. The figures are taken from the U. S. department of agrieujture's annual report and from the figures of the Dominion census bureau : Bushels per acre 1915 /Ul Canada 29 Western Canada only 29 1-5 Province of Manitoba 28 4-5 Province of Saskatchewan 28 1-2 Province of Alberta 32 4-5 United States, all 17 Montana 26 1-2 Washington ; 25 1-5 IVlaconain 22 3-4 :>hio 20 2-5 fowa 19 4-5 Mtnois 19 Pennsylvania 18 1-2 Nebraska 18 2-5 North Uakota 18 1-5 Indiana .-. 17 1-5 South Dakota 17 1-10 Minnesota 17- rexas 15 1-2 Virginia 13 4-5 Kansas 12 1-2 Missouri 12 3-10 Oklahoma 113-5 urea, cost more than 65 cents-ro ratsta bushel of wheat in Western Canada, so that the profit can be figured accordingly. It must be emphasized that the acre which produces u $30.00 crop costs in the first case, probably less than that. In the United States the same class of land would cost in many districts from $100 to $200 per acre, and even then u return of $30.00 would be considered extremely satisfactory. In Western Canada the best class of agricultural land, capable of producing crops that in size compare with ^ny country In the world except, perhaps, some European countries, can be obtained at, on the average, from $20 to $30 per acre, with irrigated lands somewhat higher. It is no exaggeration whatever to say that a number of Western Canadian farmers have paid for their land entirely from the proceeds of last year's crop, and this includes men who last year began for the first time.—Advertisement. ACCOUNTED FOR THEM BOTH In 1916 the crop was not as heavy,' but the yields in many districts were very large. *So large, Indeed, was the acreage under cultivation In 1915 that the resulting crop proved too large to be all threshed the same fall. It overloaded railroads, and made marketing slow, A less amount of fall plowing was done than would have been done In a lees heavy year, because the average fanner was too busy with his threshing. All these conditions necessarily reacted upon the acreage seeded in the spring of 1916. Add to this that labor last year, owing to the great number of Canadians who have enlisted was scarce and high-priced, and one factor In the decreased yield— smaller acreage under crop was evident Another factor Is that this year Western Canada has experieuced, in common with the entire North American continent.' conditions that have been less favorable to the production of big crops. The conditions have rewilted in smaller yield per acre and reduced grade of grain in certain idealities. Tbe average yield of l in the three western provinces is estimated by the government at about 16 bushels par acre, oats 48 bushels, and barley 27 bashebi. The financial value of their crops to Western Canadian farmers has been greater this year 'than ever before. Owing to the high prices of grain <hat are prevailing, returns have been received that are extremely profitable.

A novelist was talking at the Century club in New York about the unmercenary nature of artists. "Artists care nothing for money," he said. "That is why publishers and managers and Impresarios And it so easy to exploit and gouge them. Yes, the average artist is a good deal like' Skulps. "Skulps,- the -sculptor, had a commission from a multimillionaire to make a group representing Polyphemus crushing Acls under a rock, but though the job was worth $45,000 to him, Skulps didn't care for it, and so kept putting it off. "A year parsed. "The multimillionaire called in his automobile one day at Skulps' studio in McDougall alley. " 'How about that group of rtrtne?'_be asked, genially, as he offered Skulps a two-dollar cigar from a gold case. "Skulps led^tlie multimillionaire up to an enormous lump of modeling clay. " 'There's your group,' he said. "'But,' said the multimillionaire— 'but—' " 'Certainly,' Skulps insisted. "That lump there is the rock.' " 'But,' laughed the other—'ha, ha, ha !—but where is Acis?' " 'Acls?' ^Rid Skulps. 'Why, under rhe rock, of course—crushed—invisible.' " 'Ha, ha, ha !' laughed the multimillionaire, harshly. 'And Polyphemus? What about hlmt' "'Polyphemus?1 roared Skulps.

She was one of those twentieth century young women who knows how she gets what she has, and who keeps a sharp eye out for laggards, especially of the opposite sex. A newspaper reporter, on his dally round in search of the small news of the county seat town, entered the department store where she had begun work that mo/ning. She watched him enter several notes In a scratch pad as a number of the girls gathered around and spoke In rather excited tones. When be had finished he made his way toward her, and by way of introduction said in his most pleasant manner: "Do you'have any news for the paper?" "Xot -much!" she answered, after casting n withering look at the inquirer. "There's nothing doing. You fellows on the newspapers go aroand to. the stores every day and have the girls give yon items, and then yon go back to the office and write them tip and get paid for i t But you't can't work me."

Fifteen minutes' walk brought him to the pool. Ten minutes' hard work •with the spade sufficed to excavate a shallow trench In the sands above high-water mark. He required , as much time again to nerve himself to the point of driving off the gulls and moving the body. There were likewise crabs to be dealt with. . . . When it was accomplished, and he had* lifted the test heavy stone into $laee above the grave, he waded out **to the sea and cleansed himself as je*rt he might, then lay dt/wti tor a time in the. strength-giving light, feeing giddy and faint. What the gulls and the crabs and the shattering surf had left had been little, but enough for indisputable identification. - Whltaker had buried Drummond. By the time he got back to the farm-house, the woman was up, dressed in/ the rent and stained but dry remnants of her own clothing (for all their defects, Infinitely more becoming than the garments to which she had been obliged to resort the previous day) and busy preparing breakfast "Well, sir!" she called heartily over her shoulder. "And where, pray, have you been all this long time?" "I went for a swim," he said evasively—"thought it might do me good." "tfcm're not feeling w e l i r She turned to look him over. He avoided her eye. "I had a bad night" "Still got the hump, eh?" "Still got the hump," he assented, glad thus to mask his unhapplness. "Breakfast and a strong cup of tea or two will fix that," she announced with confidence. His stout attempts to match her cheerfulness during the meal fell dismally short of conviction. After two or three false starts he gave It up and took refuge In his plea of indisposition. She humored him with a covert understanding that surmised more in a second than he could have compressed Into a ten-rolnute confession. The meal over, he rose and sidled awkwardly toward the door. "You'll be busy for a while with the dishes and things, won't you?" he asked with an air meant to seem guileless. "Oh, yea; for some time," she replied quickly. "I—I think I'll take a stroll round the Island. There might be something like a boat hidden away somewhere along the beach." "You won't go out of sightT she pleaded through the window. "It can't be done," he called back, strolling out of the dooryard with much show of idle Indecision. His real purpose was, in fact definite. There was aflother body to be accounted for. To his intense relief, he made no further discovery other than a scattering drift of wreckage from the motorboats. He turned at length and trudged wearily back toward the farmhouse. Since breakfast he had seen nothing of the girl; none of the elaborately casual glances which he had from time to time cast Inland had discovered any sign of her. But now she appeared In the doorway, and after a slight pause, as of Indecision, moved down the path to meet hlra. He waa conscious that, at sight of her, his pulses quickened. Something swelled i n his breast something, tightened the muscles of his t h r o a t The way of her body In actk*v the way of the sun with her hair . . 1 Dismay shook him like an ague; he felt his heart divided against itself; he was so glad of her, and so afraid . . . He could.not keep his eyes her, nor could he make his desire still; and yet . . . and yet , . . paused beside one of the low walla and tbe girl sat down npon the Hcnened stones, then looked up to him with a smile and a alight movement of tbe bead that plainly invited -bin to a place beside b e e "1 watched yon. off and on, fraoa the windows.

"If we must, I suppose—you'll have to show the way. My mind's hardly equal to trail-breaking to-day." "So I shall, then. Hugh . . ." She leaned toward film, dropping her hand over his own with an effect of infinite comprehension. "Hugh," she repeated, meeting his gaze squarely as he looked up, startled—"what's the good of,keeping up the make-believe? You know!" The breath clicked In his throat and his glance wavered uneasily, then steadied again to here. And through a long moment neither stirred, but sat so, eye to eye, searching each the other's mind and heart ""At length he confessed It with an Uncertain, shamefaced nod. "That's right," he said: "I do know—now." She removed her hand and sat back without lessening the fixity of her regard. "When did you find It out?" "This morning. That is it came to me all of a sudden—" His gaze fell; he stammered and felt his face, burning. "Hugh, that's not quite honest I know you hadn't guessed, last night— 1 know i t Hugh, look at met" Unwillingly he met her eyes. "How did you find out?" He was an Inexpert liar. Under the witchery of her eyes, his resource^ failed him absolutely. He started to repeat, stammered, fell still, and then In a breath capitulated. "Before you were up—I meant to keep this from you—down there on the beach—I found Drummond." "Drummond!" It was a cry of terror. She started back from him, eyes wide, cheeka whitening.* "I'm sorry . . . But 1 presume you ought to know. . . . His body . . . I buried It . ." She gave a little smothered cry, nnd seemed to shrink In upon herself, burying her face In her hands—an In- "Don't Come Near Me, Hush! Death;'' I f t congruous, huddled shape of grief, there upon the gray stone wall, set against all the radiant beauty of the exquisite, sun-gladdened world. He was patient with her, though the slow-dragging minutes during which she neither moved nor made any sound brought him inexpressible distress, and he seemed to age visibly, his face, settling In Iron lines, gray with suffering. At length a moan—rather, a w a l l - came from-the stricken figure beaide him: -Ah, tbe pity of It! the pity of It! ', . . What nave I done that this should come to m e !

It happened three times before the wreck; I thought i should go out of my own mind." N She shuddered, her face tragic and pitiful. For a little she s a t head bowed, brooding. "Hugh 1" she cried, looking up to search his face narrowly—"Hugh, you've not been pretending—?" "Pretending?" he repeated, thickwitted. "Hugh, 1 could never forgive you if you'd been pretending. It would be too cruel . . . Ah, but you haven't been! Tell me you haven't 1" "I don't understand . . . Pretending what?" "Pretending you didn't know who I was—pretending to fall in love with me just because you were sorry for me, to make me think It was me you loved and not the woman you felt bound to take care of, because you'd— you had—" "Mary, listen to me," he Interrupted. "I swear I didn't know you. Only, that night on the stage, as Joan Thursday, you were that girl again. J never dreamed of associating you with ray wife. Dear, I didn't know, believe me. It was you who bewitched me—not the wife for whose sake I fought against what I thought infatuation for you. I loved—1 love you only, you as you are—nut the poor little girl of the Commercial House." "I have loved you arways," she said softly between barely parted lips— "always, Hugh. Even when I thought you dead . . I did believe that you were drowned out there. Hugh!

MANY BILLS INTRODUCED Among Moat important la One to Take Advantage of Federal Aid in Trunk Line Road Building. (By W. L CALNON.) Lansing—Senator James C. Wood, of Manistique, believes he baa found the way to rid the legislature of the mass of small game and fish bills that appear regularly at every session and which in reality are special acta, applying to only some small section, or single stream or lake. His idea, which will be presented to the present legislature in a bill, would strengthen the game warden's department and put the administration of the game and *sk Jawi <£«re Zrm'rf '.i t i e a a n d i of the game warden. Senator Wood declares that many of the fish bills, wi\'ch relate to closed seasons in one s U e a n <~r another or ia one lake or another, . eally belong under one general head and with the use of a little common sense could be administered by the game department in one general" way. Spawning seasons are weeks apart, for instance, as between streams in the southern tier of Michigan counties and those in the upper peninsula. Scores of bills come Into the legislature to have particular dates set for particular streams or lakes to procure a closed season covering the spawning period. Let the game department apply the closed season rules to each and every part of the state according to the spawning time, and oare for the whole matter in this way, is Senator Wood's idea,. He also would permit each county to say when it wanted . ^ . closed , A 4i . , . . seaDs„o~n s ~on„ a„.n,y., „s~p„e„c«i.a.il Ik,i!n-,d* ~o#f g„a-.m«*e Jc.ou. n.t y mo. r,e cir.c. uit . Judges h^a ve beei n- 1 introduced in the house. One asks The first joint resolution reported out of committee to the house is Representative Croll'a proposal to amend the constitution so that drainage districts may be bonded to pay for the expense of drains. The first'senate) bill reported out of committee is that to provide an 1800.,000 state ,. office building to house the numeroua state department offices now in privately rented buildings around Lansing. The house has had reported out favorably the bill to permit the public domain commission to sell for one dollar a block of primary school land in Lansing to the board of state auditors, on which it is proposed to erect the office building. Iri this connection, Senator Lyman J. Holmes, of Macomb county/ has a biy ready to appropriate ¢50,000 for a governor's residence In Lansing. A memorial to the Michigan regiments which fought in the battle of Shiloh in the Civil war is proposed In a bill introduced by Representative Robinson for a commission to be named by the governor to select a design. The bill carries an appropriation of $4,600. Representative Charles Flowers, of Detroit, has introduced a bill to raise the salaries of Justices of the supreme court from $7,000 a year to $12,000 a year. Representative Thomas Read has introduced another to provide five additional employes in the state treasurer's office at salaries ranging from $1,200 to $1,800. A cinstitutlonal amendment is in prospect to raise the salaries of those state officers whose salaries are stipulated in the constitution. Other salary raise bills also are being talked of, advocates of them charging that Michigan pays its employes poorly in comparison with other states and that the increased living costs make increases more than ever needed now. Many members are not in favor of salary raises, however, and it looks as though any one who gets them allowed will have to prove very conclusively the need of them before the house will adopt the necessary bills. Two bills to give Detroit and Wayne [ PROUD MEN I HAVE MET or birds and to so notify the game department. Unless the game and fish laws are wisely administered In some general and responsible way, Senator Wood declares, conservation ideas might as well be forgotten as far as efficient results are concerned, for the game will be wiped out and the fish supply depleted. New Bills Introduced. One of the most important bills'introduced was Representative Thomas Read's, of Oceana county, to take advantage of the federal • government's aid in trunk line road building. This bill would appropriate $225,000 a year for the next two years for trunk line roads, the government to contribute an equal sum. The Read bill proposes a way to raise the state fund, according to the size of each county and township contributing. Uner this plan a county which has $500,000 worth of assessed value for each mile of trunk line road, will pay 60 per cent of the amount of state aid on its trunk line roads and the Tpefcentage to be paid would be graded down to 25 per cent in '-Che'case of counties having only $100,000 of assessed valuation for each mile of trunk tine road. Representative George Leland. of Allegan county, has presented a bill' to standardize Michigan apples that are packed for shipment to market. The bill prescribes four classes of apples: Michigan standard fancy; standard A; standard B; and ungraded. Packers would have to brand their shipments accoring to their class and stamp their names and addresses on the outside of the package also. The state dairy and food department would be provided for violations. A bill to appropriate $10,000 for the use of the state board of agriculture to find the causes of contagious diseases among bees and suppress the diseases ' a bill presented was introuced by Representative A. E. j Ezra S. Hall, of Missaukee county, is Fetermann, of Houghton, by request i adopted. Representative Clarence J. Some of the members thought the bill I Reed, of Jackson county, wants memwas a joke, Intended to "sting" some | bers of township boards of review one, but others Insisted that there is , paid like other township officers on the for twelve judges and the other for ten. At present there are six Wayne Judges, others being "borrowed" from outBide circuits to help keep the court calendars cleared up. Both bills leave the appointment of the extra Judges to fill the places created by them, to the governor. Unlawful discrimination in the purchase of wheat, oats, corn, rye, clover seed, b€»ans, hay or potatoes by those who resell or use In manufaceure will be costly if a bill presented by Representative Quintel, of Bay, is passed. The bill Is aimed at those who attempt to obtain a monopoly or to Injure a competitor by paying higher prices In one section of the state than, in another and provides $500 fine or six month sentences for those found guilty of such actions. While much insurance legislation Is being proposed in reports of what is apt to come before the legislature in the line of big matters, bills to cover the proposed objects are coming in very slowly. In fact the first three weeks of the session saw only one minor bill affecting insurance. That would exempt from taxation the realty of any sick or accident benefit society that pays $3 a week benefits. No one 'seems disposed to be in a rush to put in prohibition bills, the Antl^aloon measure prepared by the league's attorneys being given first chance by common consent to outline what laws are needed. The league leaders have taken the position that so-called "bone dry" laws are not safe to enact, but that the laws should be so stringent that Individuals could not legally possess more than a pint of whiskey a month; a gallon of wire or three galfons of beer. Monthly publication of the balances of county treasuries will be required if by Representative ( C o p y r i K r . t i TO RELIEVE COAL CAR SHORTAGE I. C. C. PRESCRIBES DRASTIC REGULATION DESIGNED TO OVERCOME SITUATION. BECOMES EFFECTIVE FEB. 21 Issuance of Order Is Culmination Investigation Commission Has Been Conducting for Months. of ENDANGERS NATIONAL GUARD Officers Believe Federal Act Force Dissolution of Body. Will Washington—Drastio regulations designed to relieve the shortage in coal cars and help bring about a lowering of present high prices of coal have been prescribed by the interstate commerce commission. The regulations require return to original owners of all coal cars as fast as unloaded. The commission's order also requires the railroads to apply the same regulations to refrigerator, heater, ventilated and Insulated cars. The new order becomes effective February 21 and continues till May 1. The committee which the railroads are called on to appoint should be vested, the order states, with plenary powers and should co-operate with the commission in seeking relief for the shortage of other types of cars. Unless such a committee is appointed the commission declares it will act independently. Issuance of the order is a culmination of the investigation which the commission has been conducting for several months. Lansing — Whether the Michigan National Guard can survive under the new federal regulations of the defense act will be determined within the next year, or, at the utmost,, two years. This is the opinion of high officers of the auard who see in the future the disintegration of the guard because of the membership requirements of the war department. Under the regulations imposed by the federal defense act, the Michigan National Guard must &t the end of five years from the passage of that act last year, number 12,000 active and reserve members. The guard now hast 4,300 members, or somewhat above the minimum for a starting point The rate of increase cannot be maintained, it is feared, for at the end of one year there must be an increase in every department, particularly the artillery, cavalry, signal corps and engineers and, except there be assurance of active service, enlistments are mighty slow. danger of bees being wiped out entirely because of foul broods unless something is done. Anyway, the bill went to committee for consideration. Representative Wells, of Cass connbasis of actual days' work done by them. Representative Eaton, of Saginaw, former prosecutor of his county, has put In a bill to create the office of COAL SHORTAGE IS ACUTE Railroad and Factor/ Orders Will Be Given Preference. Saginaw—The Consolidated Coal Co., which controls practically all of the output of the Michigan mines, notified its retail dealers that it will cease filling their orders so that railroads and industrial plants will not have to close. Dealers under contract will be taken care of, but other orders will be filled only as there is a surplus. Most of the dealer customers are located in Saginaw, Flint, Bay City and other valley points. The Fere Marquette railroad, unable to get enough SERVED AS FIREMAN 47 YRS. Ludington Man Tenders Reeignation After Long Record. Ludington—Lowell E. Andrew, for 45 years a member of Ludington's volunteer fire department, has tendered his resignation to take effect April 1. Before entering the Ludington fire department, Andrew served two years as % member of the department at Hillsdaye, which gives him a record of 47 continuous years as a volunteer fireman. This is believed to be the longest term of service rendered by any fireman in Michigan. MUNITIONS PLANT BLOWN UP English Censorship Withhold! Details of Catastrophe in Chemical Plant London—Hundreds of British munition workers are believed to have been killed and property damage amounting to millions done by a fire and series of explosions which ^demolished a great chemical plant in which war munitions were manufactured, near London, England. A carefully censored official statement, given out in London, shrouds coal from the valley mines, sent i t s ' the identity of the plant, but admits cars south to get coal. The mines that the destruction was terrible, have to have these cars or shut down I British censorship delayed for 16 entirely, which would mean a shut down of many Flint, Bay City and Saginaw factories.

CRAZED DOCTOR KILLS WIFE Believed He Had Discovered Method of Restoring Human Life. Berlin—German medical papers report a striking innovation in surgery that has been tried by Dr. Neuhaeuser, in one of the army hospitals—a ne method for growing new fingers to replace amputated digits. The earlier method waa to graft a toe upon the amputated finger or thumb, but Dr. Neuhaeuser has succeeasfully used a piece of rib aa material for. fingers and thumbs, getting at the same time a oovering for the new members in a flap of skin taken from the breast j u t outside the ribs.

Thefe Is a mighty thrilling episode pictured in this installment Taking up the thread of the story, you will recall that Hugh Whltaker, returning to Netlr York Ave years after hit supposed death, finds his wife, now a famous actress known as Sara Law, engaged to marry Drurnmond, his old partner. Drummond supposedly commits suicide. Sara Law disappears. Whltaker, assailed mysteriously, goes to the country place of- Martin Ebmer. He becomes acquainted with charming Miss Fiske, living near by, and discovers spies are watching her. One night she Is abducted in a motor boat when Whitaker starts to make a call. He follows the kidnapers in another launch and sees their boat wrecked on a reef. 1 0 # 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 $ 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 4 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 4 t 4 0 CHAPTER X I I I . —.15— Debacle. The Trouble, meantime, was closing In upon the scene of tragedy with little less than locomotive speed. Whltaker applied the reversing gear; then, while the engine reversed with a heavy and resentful pounding In the cylinderheads, he began to strip off his coat The boat, moving forward despite the resistance of the propeller, drove heavily against the wreck, broadside to Its stern. As this happened Whltaker leaped to the wreck Just in time to grasp the coaming and hold on against the onslaught of a hurtling comber. Thunderings benumbed him, and he began to strangle before it passed. . . . He found himself filling his lungs with free air and fighting his way toward the cabin doors through the water waist deep. In another breath he had torn them open, wide, discovering the woman, her head and shoulders showing above the flood as she stood upon a transom, near the doorway, grasping a stanchion for support Her eyes met his, black and blank with terror. He snatched through sheer Instinct at a circular life preserver that floated out toward him, and simultaneously managed to crook an arm round her neck. Again the sea buried them beneath tons of raging dark water. Green lightnings flashed before his eyes, and In his ears there was a crashing like the crack of doom. His head was splitting, his heart on the point of breaking. The wave passed on, roaring. He could breathe. Now if ever . . . As if stupefied beyond sensibility, the woman was passive to his handling and he managed somehow to drag ber from the cabin to the cockpit and to jam the life ring over her head and under one arm before the next wave bore down upon them. They came to the surface in the hollow of a deep, gray swale, fully fifty feet from the wreck. Whltaker retained his grasp of the life-preserver Tine. The woman floated easily in the s u p p o r t He fancied a gleam of livelier consciousness in her staring eyes, and noticed with a curiously keen feeling of satisfaction that she was not only keeping her month closed, but had done BO, apparently, while under water;. Then suddenly, the lift of a wave discovered to him the contour of the shore. Instead of being carried in to the rock-etrewn beach, they were in the grip of a backwash which was bearing them not only oat of Immediate danger, but at the same time alongshore toward a point under whose lee he hoped to find leas turbulent cooo> Three times fee assayed to speak hefore he could wring articulate sounds from sis cracked Ups and1 musing , . . aflrigfetf She replied with as orach diOcatfty: Soiue minutes passed before he became aware that they were closing in quickly to the shelving beach. He glanced over his shoulder. They were on the line of breakers, Behind them a heavy comber was surging in, crested with snow, its concave belly resembling a vast sheet of emerald. In another moment it would be upon them. It was the moment a seasoned swimmer would seize. His eye sought the girl's. In hers he read understanding and assent Of one mind, they struck out with all their strength. The comber overtook them, clasped them to its bosom, tossed them high upon its great glassy shoulder. They fought madly to retain that place, and to such purpose that they ro3e it over a dozen yards before it crashed upon the beach, annihilating itself in a furious welter of creaming waters. Whltaker felt land beneath his feet The rest was like the crisis of a nightmare drawn out to the limit of human endurance. The undertow tore ut Whitaker's legs as with a hundred murderous hands. He came out of it eventually to find himself well up on the beach leaning against the careened hulk of a dismantled catboat with a gaping rent in its side. At a little distance the woman was sitting in the sands, bosom and shoulders heaving convulsively, damp, matted hair veiling her like a curtain of sunlit seaweed. He moved with painful effort toward her. She turned up to him her pitiful, writhen face, white as parchment "Are you—hurt?" he managed to ask. "I mean—injured?" She moved her head from side to side, as If she could not speak for panting. "I'm—glad," he said dully. "Ton stay—here . . . I'll go get help." He raised his eyes, peering Inland. Back of the beach the land rose in long, sweeping hillocks, treeless but green. His curiously befogged vision made out a number of shapes that resembled dwellings. "Go . . . get . . . help . . ." he repeated thickly. He started off with a brave, staggering rush that carried him a dozen feet Inland, Then his knees turned to water, and the blackness of night shut down upon his senses. When Whltaker awoke the afternoon was cloudy-warm and bright, so that his eyes were grateful for the shade of a white parasol that a girl was holding over him. He grew suspicious of bis Benses; and when the parasol was transformed into the shape of a woman wearing a clumsy jacket of soiled covert cloth over a nondescript garment of weirdly printed calico—then he was sure that somettdng was wrong with him. Besides, the woman suddenly turned and bent over him an anxious face, exclaiming In accents of consternation: "O dear! If he's delirious— I" His voice, when he strove to answer, rustled and rattled so that he barely managed to say: "What nonsense! I'm just thirsty !" MI thought you would be," said the woman, calmly; "so I brought water. Here . . ." She offered a tin vessel to his lips. He sat np suddenly, seized the vessel and buried his face in i t gradually tilting It, while its cool, delicious sweetness Irrigated his arid tissues, until every blessed drop was drained. Then, and not till then, he lowered the pail and with sane vision began to renew acquaintance with the world. He waa sitting in the lee of the beached catboat The woman he had rescued sat quite near him. The gale was still booming overhead, but now with less force (or so he fancied); and the surf still crashed in thunders on the beach a hundred feet or more away; hot the base was lighter, and the bine Of the aky w*s tlalbJ*, If tarnished. The*a*dee«iwed off In a wide cresc e n t eqdag lar a ton* sandy spit There was a low, ragged earth *•"* rising from the sends, Midway between the beach and where the hasy uplands lifted their blurred profile un, and found in her appearance quite as much to confound anticipation and deepen perplexity. What she had worn the night before he couid not any; but It certainly could have bad nothing in common with the worn, stained, misshapen Jacket covering her shoulders, beneath It the calico wrapper scant and crude beyond belief, upon her feet the ruaty wrecks that once had been shoes. As for himself, his once white flannel trousers were precious souvenirs, even though the cloth had contracted to a s alarming extent—uncomfortable a s weH; while his tennis shoes remained tolerably Intact, and the canvas brace had shrunk upon his ankle until it gripped it like a vise. But these details he absorbed rather than studied, in the first few moments subsequent to his awakening. His chief est and most direct interest centered upon the woman. There was warm color in the cheeks that he had last seen livid, there was the wonted play of light and shadow In her fascinating eyes; there were gracious rounded curves where had been sunken surfaces, hollowed out by fatigue and strain; and there remained the Ineluctable allurement of her tremendous vitality. . . . "You are not hurt?" he demanded. "You are—all right?" "Quite," she told him with a smile significant of her appreciation of his generous feeling. "But you? Haven't you slept at all?" "Oh, surely—a great deal. But I've been awake for some time—a few hours." "But 1— I What time Is It?" "I haven't a watch, but late afternoon, I should think—going by the sun. It's nearly down." "Good heavens 1" he muttered, dashed. "I have slept 3" "You earned your right to. . . . You needed It far more than I." Her eyes shone, warm with kindness. She swayed almost imperceptibly toward him. Her voice was low pitched and a trifle broken with emotion : "You saved my life—" "I—? Oh, that was only what any other man—" "None other did I" "Please don't speak of it—I mean, consider It that way," he stammered. "What I want to know is, where are we?" Her reply was more distant. "On an Island, somewhere. It's uninhabited, I think." He could only echo In bewilderment: "An island . . .! Uninhabited . . J " Dismay assailed him. He got up, after a little struggle overcoming the resistance of stiff and sore limbs, and stood with a hand on the coaming of the dismantled cntboat, raking the island with an Incredulous stare. She stirred from her place and offered him a hand. "Please help me up." He turned eagerly, with a feeling of chagrin that she had needed to ask The Backwash of the Surf Had Them In Its Orip. him. For an Instant he had both her hands, warm and womanly, in his grasp, while she rose by his aid, and for an Instant longer—possibly by way of reward. Then she disengaged them with gentle firmness, She stood beside him so tall and fair, so serenely invested with the flawless dignity of her womanhood that he no longer thought of the Incongruity of her grotesque garb. "You've been up there?" he asked, far too keenly interested to scorn the self-evident She gave~e comprehensive gesture, embraciag the visible prospect "AH being a home the year round Isn't any boat—" "No boat!" "Not a sign of one. that 1 can And"— except this wreck." She Indicated the catboat "But you can't do anything wttfc this," he expostulated The deep, wide break in Its side placed it beyond consideration, even if it should prove possible to remedy Its many oth^r lacks. "No. The people who live here must have a boat—1 saw a mooring buoy out there"—with a gesture toward the water. "Of course. How else could they get away?" "The question Is, how we are to get away," he grumbled, morose. "You'll find the way," she told him with quiet confidence. "I! I'll find the way? How?" "I don't know—only you must. TJb'ejre. must be some way of signaling the mainland, some means of communication. Surely people wouldn't live here, cut off from all the world . . . Perhaps we'll find something in the farmhouse to tell us what to do. I didn't have much time to look round. I wanted clothlmr/ mostly—and found these uwful tbingS'-haoging behind tht kitchen door. And then I wanted something to eat, and 1 found that— some bread, not too Stale, and plenty of eggs In the henhouse. . . . And you—you must be famished !" * What do you suppose Whit- J 4 aker and Miss Fiske will find t * on the island—a solution of the J 4 whole mystery? 4 4 4 (TO B E CONTINUED.) OLD WINE RADIANT CAVERN Shafts In Thuringian Forest Filled With Stalactites Are a Beautiful Sight An old abandoned mine near Saalfeld, In the Thuringian forest, which In the time of Luther was worked for silver, copper, alum and vitriol, has been discovered by a Berlin geolugist to have developed into one of the most beautiful caverns. In the course of centuries the wuter percolating through the minerals has built up throughout the mine a wonderful labyrinth of staluctitea and stulagmites, thrown together with a profusion and brllllunce of color which is said to be without parallel. Deep greens, vivid blues, the purest white, yellows of all shades—In lact, the entire scale of color is reproduced over and over again, and yet the colors melt Into each other so gently that nowhere Is the Impression of disagreeable contrast produced. Although unknown before tfie war, this fairy grotto has already become famous among the scientific men of Germany. The aged Haeckei has had himself carried through It in his Invalid chair, and has agreed with other scientists that it is the most remarkable natural curiosity in Germany. On the Level. At the Players' club in New York they were discussing the English poet Alfred Noyes. "Poor Noyesy!" said an editor. '"He used to make poetry pay, but the war has created a slump in the poetry market, and to get along today Noyes Is writing advertising Jingles. What a come down, eh?" *'A come down?" said a critic, his eyes twinkling humorously behind his pince-nez. "Humph. What kind of ads is he writing?" "Sausage ads," said the editor. "Then," said the critic, "it's no come down. Noyes always did write doggerel." Sincerity of True Forgiveness, On the Chinese New Year old debts are paid, old enemies are reconciled. It Is recorded In "The Memoirs of LI Ynn Lung" that two notorious adversaries, Bu Nko and Chang Chong Hong, met formally on a New Year's day, shook their own bands—the artless custom of Cathay—and were profuse In their utterances of good wllL The spectators were ediflced. Going out of the door, Bu, glaring, says to Chang, **1 wish you the same you wish me." "You want to begin again, do youT asks Chang, "livid with rage." This anecdote teaches us the sincerity at true forgiveness. Poor Outlook. Caastdy (visiting sick friend)—Weil, Mike, an' bow are ye this mornin'? O'Brien—Porely, Tim, pbrely.

The little paper notes that on Mount Lovcen will bo erected u colossal monument to recall to future generations the conquest by the Austrian armies of this Gibraltar of the Adriatic. The sketch of this work, presented to the Emperor Francis Joseph but a short time before his death by the artist, was approved by the aged ruler. It represents the Spirit of Victory. Its enormous hands are crossed upon a gigantic sword and It looks toward a horizon "beyond which now trembles the traitress Italy." Warning About Water Pipes. Now is the time that fires are caused by householders attempting to thaw out service pipes by burning oil-soaked rags and using other Ill-advised methods In which an open flame Is used. The proper way for the householder to restore an ice-clogged pipe to service is to wrap It with cloth and pour hot water upon it, or, if the freezing is too severe to yield to this treatment, the best plan Is to send for a plumber. Apparently this Is a minor detail, but attention to it may prevent needless fire loss running into thousands of doV lars.—Engineering Record. Bang!

By GEORGE C L I N T O N . • Washington. — it seems entirely probable that the senate will debate and either pass or reject a bill for universal military training before this short session is ended. The Indication is that Senator Chamberlain's measure on this subject will be reported favorably before long. The hearings are drawing to a close. It Is perhaps true that on no mutter of legislation which has been before congress for years have the lines of favor and disfavor been so sharply drawn as on this piece of proposed legislation which would give the youth of the United States, irrespective of" their poverty, wealth or social standing, a military training. It is only the truth to say that the proposal has grown in^favor In congress since it became so clearly manifest that the legislation in its effect would be so broadly democratic. This means that no young man, no latter what his family's position, power or wealth, could escape what the young man without money, power or position must give to his country. It is not at all likely that universal military training will become a fact In this country for some little time. It is, however, entirely within the possibilities that the senate will pass the measure at this session. It Is known definitely that some of the advisers of the administration have changed their minds about the legislation. Originally they were opposed to it and now they are In favor of It. There are men here ready to predict that If the senate shall pass the measure, although there is no hope that the house will act at this session, that President Wilson next year will suggest universal military training In his address to congress. Hearings On for Some Time. The subcommittee of the senate committee on military affairs has been holding hearings on universal military training for a long time. Opponents and proponents of the measure have been appearing daily to give their views. There is In Washington an organization called the American Union Against Militarism. This organization is opposed to universal military training. It has just had its hearing before the senate subcommittee. The organization produced some physical training experts, a number of college students, some general educators, some representatives of •'parents' associations," and some former enlisted men of the regular army to bear evidence against the necessity of universal military training. Unquestionably the reason for the growth of favor of the measure In Washington is due to the difficulty In getting volunteer recruits either for the regular army or for the National Guard. The last army bill passed by congress has not met the expectations of the men who supported it. They say so. George E. Chamberlain, Democratic senator from Oregon, but who is a native of Mississippi, has just made a statement declaring that a real understanding of fhe bill and what It will do will cause Its opponents to change their minds on the subject of universal military training. Capital Mourns for Cody. News of the death of CoL William F. Cody., familiarly and affectionately known as Buffalo Bill, was received with sorrow in the capital. In Washington Colonel Cody always has been a marked and familiar figure. Among those who watched Buffalo Bill's illness, with alternating anxiety and hope and fear for the outcome Is Lieut Gen. Nelson A. Miles, U. 8. army (retired). Through many campaigns Miles and Cody camped, rode and fought side by side. There was a brotherhood of affection between the two men. Colonel Cody came to Washington every winter of the latter years of his life. He always met General Miles who makes this city bis borne, and together they lived over the old days on. the plains from the time that Miles was In the field against the Arapeboes, the Cheyenne* and the Kiowas, through hit campaigns against tha S o n s of the North and ending only .when the last great Indian nprtaWg the fthent doses waasv-rfenes « * h surrender of Kicking Beat, s*d the raft e f t M r followers at Pit* E k l r v f : 0 „ te r e b n h i y , 1ML I fcaew BsttOo BW Intimately in jhe "£ 1880, Lhe Indians of fUe Northwest became afTected by Sitting Boll's prophecies of the coming of an Indian Messiah wbo would set ail things right. The buffalo were to return in the herds of another day, the white man was to be overcome and the red man was to be restored to his own. Sitting Bull was killed near Standing Rock agency by Indian police. Big Foot and his band of 300 Indiana, firm in the belief that the "ghost shirts" would turn the bullets of the white man, met and fought the Seventh cavalry at Wounded Knee creek. The band virtually WPS exterminated and about seventy troopers of the Seventh cavalry were killed or wounded. Adviser to General Miles. There were 3,000 Indians "off the reservation" at this time. Troopers were brought from all over the United States to quell the uprising. I waa sent as a newspaper correspondent from Chicago to join the forces la the field near Pine Ridge agency. On my way west Buffalo Bill boardeC the train a t Chadron, Neb., to make his way to Pine Ridge there to join General Miles who had sent for him to act not only in his old capacity as scout, but as adviser concerning the means to bring the campaign to an end with as little bloodshed as possible. Buffalo Bill was In the field with General Miles at this time until, the last of the Indians surrendered. His counsel was Invaluable. He knew virtually every one of the chieftains who with their following were on the war path. Miles knew them also and these two men between them, by the employment of trusted Indians whom they could dispatch to the hostile camps, managed after some weeks of time to induce' the Indians to come into Pine Ridge agency, and there to surrender. Of course Miles' disposition of his military forces aided greatly. "Church of State" Celebrates. Washington naturally enough has scores of public buildings. A disappointed cynic has said that unnaturally enough Washington has a church for every one of its public buildings. Brooklyn has been called the city of churches, but it has no more claim to the name than has this capital of the country. Washington has many churches and about several of them cluster incidents of historic interest. At this writing there is being celebrated the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of St. John's Protestant Episcopal church on Lafayette square in this city. St. John's is a small church and it is by no means the oldest church in the town, although It holds the Interest of strangers perhaps more strongly than any other sanctuary in the capital. It Is a quaint church architecturally, beautiful In a plain way, and its pews always are filled at the Sunday services and pretty well occupied at all those held on the week days. It Is this century-old edifice which is known as the "church of state," a semi-humorous reference to the fact that many presidents of the United States have attended its services, and because even If a president is of another religious persuasion, a pew in the church Is always maintained for White House occupancy. From all over the country there have come to Washington noted men and women to attend the celebration In this month of the "year of a hundred years." The bell of S t John's which calls the church members to service on Sunday made its first "presidential appeal" to James Monroe. John Quincy Adams, If memory of the history of his life serves, was a Congregatlonalist, but he attended S t John's church. In addition to Monroe and Adams, Van Buren, the first Harrison, Tyler, Taylor, Fillmore and Arthur were worshipera In S t John's. Presidents' Wives Among Worshipers. There is a real reason for the setting aside of a pew in S t John's for the use of every Incoming president It may be that the president himself was not an Episcopalian, but as several chief executives of other religions persuasions have married members of the Episcopal church, the wives and the children of such chiefs of state have attended S t John's. President Wilson's wife is an Episcopalian while be Is a Presbyterian. His two immediate predecessors in office had Episcopalians for wives while they were members of other churches. Theodore Roosevelt is a member of the Dutch Reformed church and William H. Taft Is a member of the Unitarian church, but both of their wives are Episcopalians and both attended S t John's. Mrs. Wilson attended 8 t Thomas' church, bat just before her marriage left that parish to attend services at S t Margaret's, another Episcopal sanctuary. Virtually aba la tha only wife of a president who, being an panan, h«*s not regularly attended ices tn ftt John's. . chorea Is ettoated #all wttata ef the Watte roetty across Lafayette pleasant S a n i t y a w n i n g two mlnnts«e walk throng* the bcnttfM park with THE BASIS OF A Theme Discussed by the Wall Street Journal. In speaking of Canada a short time age the Wall Street Journal made the statement that T h e basis of Canada's riches is the fertility of the soil, and no freak of warfare can injure that while her grain will increase in demand as the population of the world grows. As an investment field Canada is worthy of consideration." These worlds are .well worthy of attention, especially coming from such a source as this eminent financial journal. With a land area exceeding that of the United States and with tillable areas coming under cultivation, t h e wealth of Canada's future can scarcely be estimated, while the wealth today IS such as to bring her most prominently before the world. During the past year thousands of farmers in Western Canada sold their crops for more than .the total cost of their land. Lands at from $15 to $30 an acre produced crops worth $40 to $75 an acre. Stock raising and dairying were equally profitable. The year 1915 saw most wonderful crops and magnificent yields over the entire country, and many farmers wiped out indebtednesses that had hung over them long before they came to the country, and the year" 1916 put them in a condition of absolute independence. A report to" hand verified by a high official might seem marvelous, were the particulars not well known, and where are not other cases thut would seem almost as phenomenal. This is a southern Alberta story: A farmer wished to rent an adjoining farm on which a loan company held a mortgage. The applicant said he wanted the first ten bushels of wheat, after which he would divide, giving the loan company one-third. After threshing he paid into the bank at Calgary $10 per acre for every acre cultivated, to the credit of the loan company, as their share or their third of the crop. Sixteen dollars per acre rent. His two-thirds was $32 and In addition the first ten bushels of wheat. Land on this same security can be purchased for from $16 to $30 per acre. Wonderful yields are reported from all parts of this district. Recently 4,640 acres of a ranch were sold to an Illinois farmer; 300 acres of wheat in 1916 produced a yield that averaged 42¼ bushels of wheat per acn . George Richard, formerly of Providence, R. I., on a southern Alberta farm got 2,052 bushels of wheat from a 50-acre field, or over 40 bushels per acre, and from a 50-acre field of oats got a return of 76 bushels per acre and still had some sheaves left over for feeding. A report just issued by the Alberta government gives the yield of wheat in the showing of 1916 as 28 bushels per acre; 45 bushels of oats and 30 bushels of barley. Travelers through Alberta's wheat belt have had revealed to them scenes of agricultural productiveness unapproached In any other part of the world. Alberta farms, selected with even moderate discretion, have raised men to Independence and affluence with records of wonderful development unsurpassed amongst the phenomenal industrial success of which Canada well may b o a s t Many almost incredible yields have been reported by reliable authorities, wheat exceeding 70 bushels per acre and oats 145 bushels. Numerous records show that the cost of farms has been more than repaid by this year's crop. In one instance, land purchased for $3,200 produced wheat which was sold for a little over $10,000. During the year 1917 there will be an immense amount of labor required to take care of the crop In Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. One of the problems which Western Canada has to face every year is the securing of an adequate supply of labor to handle the harvesting and threshing of its big crops. This problem, indeed, is always present In any country that has a btg agricultural pro- The actual number of men engaged. In 1U16 in harvest work was between forty and fifty thousand. Wages were higher than usual running from J2J50 to $4,00 a day with hoard, a n d from $35 to $60 u month.—Advertisement WOMEN OF BRAVE OLD DAYS Tribute to Those of the Revolution and Civil War—Their Courage Inherited. It was natural that fhe women of the Revolution and the women of tha Civil war should have been radical; outspoken and determined, because they aspired to an u n d e r s t a n d ^ * 'of those great political Issuer—and theyr were lifted out of domesticity und frivolity by their active co-operation with men. Women have always ranked with? men, says Ida Tarbell, "in actual capacity r.nd achievement;" and it is certain thut in these two crucial instances they rose spiritually to the level of their husbands. They sought no immunity from suffering, they made no ignoble plea for peace. They posed neither as innocent victims of man's combativeness nor as moral censors of his supreme self-sacrifice. T h e notion that war-is wrong because it Involves t h e anguish of women would have been as repellent to their souls as the notion that war can be averted by the wisdom of women would have been repellent to their understandings* They deemed it their right to know what issues were at stake, and their privilege to give undenyingiy to their country's cause. Courage was their inheritance from their pioneer ancestors, and pain was proudly borne, because it was the price of freedom and national life. There is something very inspiring1 in the contemplation of these stouthearted, clear-minded women who so faintly resemble the chimney-c rner great-grandmothers of our fancy,— Agnes* Ttepplier in Harper's Magazine. DEATH DUE TO EXHAUSTION Man Who Succumbs to Exposure Is Not Really "Frozen," as it Is Generally Understood. During the deep sleep which follows extreme fatigue the sensitiveness of the nervous system is greatly reduced, and It becomes unable to perceive the lowness of temperature. The unconscious sleep gradually passes into the unconsciousness of collapse. According to the popular belief such a man dies "frozen to death," but as a matter of fact he was killed long before his temperature fell to zero. What really killed him was the reduction of the activity of his tissue, which always follows the loss of nervous control. As a result there was less and less chemical change accom-. panled by the production of heat, and at an internal temperature of about 68 degrees life ceased. That is why, as experience has often shown, the weary traveler who gives way to the imperative desire to sleep on the line of march is doomed to death when he has no adequate protection from extreme cold.
