The ideas presented by Mr. Fannon wer* of that nature, theft If carried out, could but help the town, the people in it and around it. He made it very ~psain to the patronizera of mail order houses that if the same amount oi goods were purchased at one time from the local mejibarit and cash paid for it, the goods cuuW be bought just as cheap or cheaper at home. He pointed out to the local merchant, the great value of cleanliness and prompt service as a trade getter, also the volue of a well decorated window. For the town as a whcle he showe 1 the inestimable value of pulling together for Pincknew. Don't run your home town down every time there is an occasion to talk about it to strangers.

There ure many bulbs that are excellent for rockeries. Sclllas, which are of a beautiful deep blue, do well in the shade; spring suowflake, with white flowers tipped with green, and snowdrops are excellent for rockererle8. Muscarla or grape hyacinth, crocuse* of various colors, will thrive and take care of themselves once established In the rockeries or In borders In the garden, where they will not be disturbed. The beauty which Is near at hand Is often neglected for the prize that Is denied us—we refer to the beauty and desirability of the Celustrus, or bitter-sweet vine. This native climber found In our woods nnd along fences, Is oue of the most satisfactory vines that can be grown about the house. The Celastrus is as hardy as gran ite, a quick grower, twining securely about its support, and it is not liable to disease. In the fall when flowers are scarce, it covers Itself with clusters of orangecolored fruit which the frost opens, revealing its crimson seeds. Choose a dark, rainy day If possible, for the transplanting, otherwise do this work at sunset—we mean in transplanting seedlings. Water the seedbed thoroughly a short time before you begin to transplant; thy>n lift the plants, with all the soil their roots will hold, and remove to the permanent bed. Keep the seedling covered with a wet cloth, so that the heat and wind will not dry them. With a sharp pointed stick make the hole for the plant and then fill it with water. Plant the seedling in this puddle, drawing the dark soil about the stalk when the ground has been firmed about the plant as much as possible. ; A miniature water garden is practical and will prove most Interesting, needing less attention than a flower bed Its size. Have a sugar or vinegar barrel cut In two, or use a wooden tub. Sink this in the soil. Make a potting box about twelve Inches square and fill with rich mud from a pond, or use half rich loam, adding to the mud or loam about one-third of well-rotted Made Particularly Attractive by the Flo\A*vThro6gh Them. whatAvere striped before, at that time were of one color, and nearly single. $?[<* had Keyne's White for several yealai; It grew four feet tall; last year it grew eight and ten feet. A pianolike that Is no more good. Dahlias can be grown from seeds; they grow stronger than from cuttings and roots, only 1« is hard to find good seeds, now we are in the cheap-seed business; but the man who has u good article does not sell 25-cent packages for 10 cents. If you want dahlia roots for next year, plant them In small pots and let them remain all summer. Keep thera over winter like old roots, and start | them again In the spring. I do not l ^ay this Is absolute, but It Is the best | way to raise dahlias so far. 1 The specialist does it, and it is my ! experience since 18GT. ' It is claimed by dahlia growers that , dividing the roots will degenerate almost all varieties; that Is the reason we have so few good flowers. Of course, a good many will believe that^a cutting will not flower and | make roots to keep over winter, but it Is true; they were raised that way many years ago, and that is the way they are raised today In England, France, Germany and other countries except the United States. It is the reason, too, that the Americans do not care much for the dahlia; they have been deceived too much. They buy old roots and get an old, degenerate plant, sometimes six feet tall and more, and not a blossom in sight. In October, when the nights are cool, the degenerate shows buds, and if the frost does not catch them, they will flower, maybe two weeks, nnd the flower will be deficient In color and size. They blame the weather, etc.; it Is not the weather altogether, but the mode of planting. ; Plant the rymphae root in this and fclaCfrlfi the tub: fill with water until * It 1» two or three inches deep over the root When the growth commences and t o e leaves appear, water may be added from t'.me to time until the tab It MIL ltt*cr change the water, simply replace that which evaporate*. «to-k» THE WAY TOJttlSE GAHUAS ftrflffMftl BSAUTIEN, • good dtlitoa-iatttt bloom from July && feoat, i k d t f K does not, discard IK. 1 wm mm* bfeatlful flowers on ptoata te July and A o g w t very PLANTS WITHOUT SUN The best plants for sunless room* are ferns and palms and perhaps the best one of all is aspidistra.

London—Mackeaaen's army, striking at Bucharest from the Danube, has been defeated by the Russians and Rumanians southwest of the Rumanian capital, according to dlapatches from Petrograd and Bucharest. Successes en the Transylvania front are also claimed. The Germans in their retreat lost many prisoners and 26 gun:, according to the official reports from Rumanian and Ru&alan war offices. Berlin, in an official statement, stating that the Rumanians have made "a successful advance on the Argechu river, on the front before Bucharest" Bucharest Believed Saved. London sees in the victory the salvation of Bucharest, and in the first joy of success where only disaster waa expected, affects to discern the crushing of Teutonic hopes on the Danube and the saving of Rumania from the fate of Serbia. The turning of the battle is credited to the Russians, who, after all, it seems, arrived at the-'southern defenses of King Ferdinand's capital In time to turn back the powerful thrust of the Central nations which had swept up to the outer forts, only 12 miles from the suburbs. Teutons Continue Rush, While Ruaaian reinforcements, rushed to the aid of the Rumanians defending Bucharest, have succeeded in halting temporarily at least, Field Marshal von Mackensen'a drive against the capital, Von Falkenhayn's rush down upon the fortress from the northwest continues in the face of desperate Rumanian resistance. Falkenhayn's forces have reached Gaesci, 30 miles from Bucharest's outer fortifications. In a titanic eleventh, hour effort to avert a junction of the main forces of Mackensen and Falkenhayn, the Rumanians, aided by Muscovite troops, are offering battle on a front of some 50 miles, along the Argechu river. Balancing their defeat south of the capital, a Teuton flanking movement has crushed a Rumanian column In the same field, the Rumanian war office admits. ALLIES DEMAND REPARATION Firing Ceases and Entente Troops Are Withdrawn From Piraeus. Paris—Greece must make reparation to the Entente Powers for the recent attacks on the Allied troops. The ultimatum has been made to the Greek government, following the offer by the latter to turn over to Vice-Admiral Du Fournet six mountain batteries, according to a Havas dispatch from Athens. The ministers of the Allies have been instructed to inform the Greek authorities it is no longer a question of cession of war materials, but a far more serious situation, and that reparation must be madein accord with the gravity of the assault on the Allied troops. An embargo has been placed on Greek shipping in French and other ports of the Allies in consequence of the recent events in Athens. A Havas agency dispatch from that city says that firing ceased and the Entente troops have been withdrawn from Athens to the Piraeus. The Allies have agreed to remove their representatives, who have been in, control of the Greek postal and telegraph service. • The Matin states that Athos Romanes, Greek minister to France, has sent his resignation to his government, on account of the aggression of Greek troops against the forces disembarked by thr ^lies.

The president said: Gentlemen of the Congress: In fulfilling at this time the duty laid upon me by the Constitution of communicating to you from time to time information of the state of the Union and recommending to your consideration such legislative measures as may t>e judged necessary and expedient 1 shall continue the practice, which I hope has been acceptable to you, of leaving to the reports of the several heads of the executive departments the elaboration of the detailed needs of the public service and confine myself to those matters of more general public policy with which it seems necessary and feasible to deal at the present session of the congress. I realize the limitations of time under which you will necessarily act at this session and shall make iny suggestions as few as possible; but there were some things left undone at the last session which there will now be time to complete and which it seems necessary in the interest of the public to do at once. In the first place, it seems to me imperatively necessary that the enrliesi possible consideration and action should be accorded the remaining measures of the program of settlement and regulation which I had occasion to recommend to you at the close of your last session in view of the public dangers disclosed by the unaccommodated difficulties which then existed, and which still unhappily continue to exist, between the railroads of the country and their locomotive engineers, conductors, and trainmen. Railway Troubles First I then recommended: First, immediate provision for the enlargement and administrative reorganisation of the interstate commerce commission along the lines embodied In the bill recently passed by the house of representatives and now awaiting action by the senate; in order that the commission may be enabled to deal with the many great and various duties now devolving upon it with a promptness and thoroughness which are, with Its present constitution and means of action, practically impossible. Second, the establishment of an eight-hour day as the legal basis alike of work and of wages in the employment of all railway employees who are actually engaged In the work of operating trains In interstate transportation. Third, the authorization of the appointment by the president of a small body of men to observe the actual results In experience of the adoption of the eight-hour day in railway transportation alike for the men and for the railroads. Fourth, explicit approval by the congress of tine consideration by the interstate commerce commission of an increase of freight rates to meet such additional expenditures by the railroads as may have been rendered necessary by the adoption of the eighthour day and which have not been offset by administrative readjustments and economies, should the facts disclosed justify the increase. Fifth, an amendment of the existing federal statute which provides for the mediation, conciliation, and arbitration of such controversies as the present by adding to it a provision that, in case the methods of accommodation now provided for should fail, a full public investigation of the merits of every such dispute shall be Instituted and completed before a strike or lockout may lawfully be attempted. And, sixth, the lodgment in the hands of the executive of the power. In ease of military necessity, to take control of such portions and such rolling stock of the railroads of the country a s may be required for military Me and to operate them for military purposes, with avtfeorlty to draft into the military service of the United States each train crews^md administratis* oflefais as the circumstances require for their enfe and efficient use. faeacMS MM Wecowwwewdatiotia. Tre second and third of these rec- MuueodetioB* the comrrrw immediately acted e n : It entaMlsbed the etghthoav dey at tawauaal aa*s of work suggestions until an opportunity should be offered for a more deliberate consideration of them. The fourth recommendation I do not deem it necessary to renew. The power of the Interstate commerce commission tp grant un Increase of rates on the ground referred to Is indisputably clear and a recommendation by the congress with regard to such a matter might seem to draw In question the scope of the commission's authority or Its inclination to do justice when there is no reason to doubt either. The other suggestions—the increase in the interstate commerce commission's membership and In its facilities for performing its manifold duties, the provision fdr full public investigation and assessment of Industrial disputes, and the grant to the executive of the power to control and operate the railways when necessary in time of war or other like public necessity—I now very earnestly renew. The necessity for such legislation is manifest and pressing. Those who have intrusted us with the responsibility and duty of serving and safeguarding them in such matters would find it hard, I believe, to excuse a failure to act upon these grave matters or any unnecessary postponement of action upon them. Not only does the Interstate commerce commission now find it practically impossible, with its present membership and organization, to perform Its great functions promptly and thoroughly, but it is not unlikely that it may presently be found advisable to add to its duties still others equally heavy and exacting. It must first be perfected as an administrative instrument. The country cannot and should not consent to remain any longer exposed to profound Industrial disturbances for lack of additional means of arbitration and conciliation which the congress can easily and promptly supply. And all will agree that there must be no doubt as to the power of the executive to make immediate and uninterrupted use of the railroads for the concentration of the military forces of the nation wherever they are needed and whenever they are needed. This is a program of regulation, prevention and administrative efficiency which argues its own case in the mere statement of it. With regard to one of its items, the Increase in the efficiency of the interstate commerce commission, the house of representatives \ l h a s nlready acted; Its action needs only the concurrence of the senate. For Control and Operation. I would hesitate to recommend, and I dare say the congress would hesitate to act upon the suggestion should I make it, that any man in any occupation should be obliged by law to continue in an employment which he desired to leave. To pass a law which forbade or prevented the Individual workman to leave his work before re- [ ceiving the approval of society in doing so would be to adopt a new principle into our jurisprudence which I take it for granted we are not prepared to Introduce. But the proposal that the operation of the railways of the country shall not be stopped or interrupted by the concerted action of organized bodies of men until a public Investigation shall have been Instituted which shall make the whole question at issue plain for the judgment of the opinion of the nation is not to propose any such principle. It is based upon the very different principle that the concerted action of powerful bodies of men shall not be permitted to stop the industrial processes of the nation, at any rate before the nation shall have had an opportunity to acquaint Itself with the merits of the case as between employee and employer, time to form its opinion upon an impartial statement of the merits, and opportunity to consider all practicable means of conciliation or arbitration. I can see nothing in that proposition but the justifiable safeguarding by society of the necessary processes of its very life. There is nothing arbitrary or unjust in it unless It be arbitrarily and unjustly done. It can and should be d'.n< with a full and scrupulous regard for the interests and liberties of all concerned as well as for the permanent interests of society itself, j •ttf3*n***V*i PINCKNEY DISPATCH • > . . - : \ • • • • - * * * . , • • : ? tions may seem to be leas necessary than the Immediate enactment of the other measures to which I refer; because at least two years will elapse before another election in which federal offices are to be filled; but it would greatly relieve the public mind if this Important matter were dealt with while the circumstances and the dangers to the public morals of the present method of obtaining and spending campaign funds stand dear under recent observation and the methods of expenditure can be frankly studied in the light of present experience; and a delay would have the further very serious disadvantage of postponing action until another election was at hand and some special object connected with it might be thought to be in the mind of those who urged It Action can be taken now with facts for guidance and without suspicion of partisan purpose.

That enterprise will presently, will immediately assume, has indeed already assumed, a magnitude unprecedented in our experience. We have not the necessary instrumentalities for Its prosecution; it is deemed to be doubtful whether they could be created upon an adequate scale under our present laws. We should clear away all legal obstacles and create a basis of undoubted law for it which will give freedom without permitting unregulated license. Th< thing must be done now, because the opportunity Is here and may escape us if we hesitate or delay. Porto Rico's Needs. The argument for the proposed amendments of the organic law of Porto Rico is brief and conclusive. The present laws governing the island and regulating the rights and privileges of its people are not just. We have created expectations of extended privilege which we have not satisfied. There is uneasiness among the people of the island and even a suspicious doubt with regard to our intenticas concerning them which the adoption of the pending measure would happily remove. We do not doubt what we wish to do in any essential particular. We ought to do it at once. There are other matters already advanced to the stage of conference between the two houses of which it is not necessary that I should speak. Some practicable basis of agreement concerning them will no doubt be found and action taken upon them. Inasmuch as this is, gentlemen, probably the last occasion I shall have to address the Sixty-fourth congress, I hope that you will permit me to say witii what genuine pleasure and satisfaction I have co-operated with you in the many measures^of constructive policy with which you have enriched the legislative annals of the country.

The central purpose of the act Is to establish a form of warehouse receipt for grain, wool, flaxseed, cotton uLd j tobacco which will make these receipts easily and widely negotiable as delivery orders or as collateral for loans, and therefore of definite assistance in financing crops. This purpose the act aims to attain by licensing and bonding warehouses under conditions which will insure the integrity of the receipts and make them reliable evidence of the condition, quality, quantity and ownership of the products named which may be stored with them. Fifty-three Michigan counties, including Bay, Genesee, Jackson, Muskegon, Saginaw and a part of Kent county, have been placed in the district of which Detroit is the administrative headquarters. The Detroit district Includes all counties in the lower peninsula except Branch, Calhoun, Hillsdale, Lenawee and portions of Kent, Monroe, Ottawa and Washtenaw counties. All of Kent county is included in "this district except South Grand Rapids and points south of the Grand Rapids & Indiana railway, Eagle Mills and points south on the Lake Shore.

As a result there is bound to be legislation introduced at the coming session of the legislature which will tend to curb the activities of Bre*r Reynard. Although attempts were made Inst winter and in the cold, wet days of the spring to protect the game birds, it has dawned on many hunters that the greatest destroyer of game, bird life in the north woods, or In any of the woods where the birds can live, is the red fox. Hunting parties this season, in the sections of the middle portion of the state, where partridge usually abound, return practically emptyhanded. And they blame it all on the fox. The state game department has had reports for months past to show that the fox steals the birds when they are young, and even In the winter time sneaks up on the old birds while they are roosting and makes away with them. Game wardens, some of them at least, have* reported that the destruction of partridge by foxes Is greater than the havoc caused either by the hard winters or by the guns of the hunters.

Justice Kuhn will automatically become the head of the highest Judicial body in the commonwealth at high noon Monday, January 1, when he succeeds Justice John W. Stone of Marquette, who during 1916 has guided the destinies of the court. For 1917 the assignments will be made by Justice Kuhn. To his lot also will fall the administration of the oath of office to the newly elected governor, Albert E. Sleeper. Justice Kuhn will have served a s chief justice for a full month and several days before he will celebrate his forty-fifth birthday. In his career a s a lawyer, since his graduation front the law department of the University of Michigan, in 1804, he has arisen; rapidly. In the year of his graduation; he was made circuit court commissioner In Macomb county, which position he held for two years. Then he went up into the office of prosecutor. He served three terms and in 1904 was elected probate judge of Macomb county and re-elected In 1908. He resigned, however, in 1910 when Governor Warner appointed him attorney general to succeed John E. Bird, who had been elevated to the supreme bench through the resignation of Justice Robert M. Montgomery to accept' a position on the United States court of claims. Filling out the unexpired term of Mr. Bird, Attorney General Kuhn was elected to succeed himself, then was appointed to the supreme bench In 1912 by Governor Osborn, to take the place made vacant by the death of Justice Charles E.

Supposed to be dead, Hugh Whitaker turns up In New York after five years and hunts for the girl he married there to protect her good name. During the midst of a brilliant theatrical performance, he and she recognize one another across the footlights. (She is known at 8ara Law, a noted actress.) The play stops abruptly. She refuses to sao him. Drummond, his former law partner, engaged to marry the supposed widow, Is reported a suicide. Whltaker's friend, Mar. tin Ember, former detective, doubts the report and warns Whitaker to beware of violence from a mysterious source. The warning Is Ignared.

Though they left New York not long -after three In the afternoon, twilight was fast ebbing Into night when Ember gave the motor its head. Its headlights dove a path through darkness, like a splendid sword; on either hand woodlands and desolate clearings blurred into dark and rushing walls; only the wonderful wilderness of stars remained imperturbable. ' Whitaker, braced against the Jolting, snatched begrudged mouthfuls of air strong of the sea. He had no very definite Idea of their whereabouts, having neglected through sheer indifference to •qr.estion Ember, but he knew that they •were drawing minute by minute closer t o the Atlantic. After some time the car slowed to -n palpitant pause. Ember Jumped out to open a barred gate, then, returning, *wung the car Into a clear but narrow "Woodland road. "Mine own domain,** (Be informed Whitaker with a laugh. *Now we're shut of the world entirely.- Whitaker bent forward. Inquiring: ""Where are we?" "Almost there. Patience."

The forest hemmed the clearing on three aides; on the fourth lay water. A hundred yards distant the lighted windows of a one-story structure shone pleasantly through a scattering plantation of pine.

They entered a long and deep living room with walls of peeled logs and, at one end, a stone fireplace wherein a wood fire biased heartily. At a comfortable distance from the hearth stood a table bright with linen, silver and crystal—covers for two. The rear wall was broken by three doors, in one of which a rotund Chinaman beamed oieaglnously. Ember hailed him by -the title of Sum Fat, explaining that it wasn't bis name, but claiming for it the virtue of PTqnlaltft felicity.

Now I've got to get Into waterproofs—It's raining like all get-out, but I can't wait for a letup." By the time Whitaker was ready for breakfast his host had splashed off to his motor car. The wind, freshening and driving very respectable if miniature rollers against the beach, came In heavy gusts, alternating with periods of steady, strong blowing. At times the shining lances of the rain seemed to drive almost horizontally. Whitaker poked his head Into the kitchen. In that immaculate place, from which every hint of breakfast had disappeared as if by magic, Sum Fat was religiously cleaning his teeth—for the third time that morning, to Whltaker's certain knowledge. When he had finished, Whitaker put a question: "Sum Fat, which way does the wind blow, do you know?" Sum Fat flashed him a dazzling smile. "East'ly," he said In a cheerful, clucking voice. "I think vely fine three-day blow." "At least," said Whitaker, "you're a high-spirited prophet of evlL I thank you." He selected a book from several shelves stocked with a discriminating taste, and settled himself before the fire. The day wore out before his patience Jld, and with every indication of fulfilling the prognosis of Sum Fat; by nightfall the wind had developed Into an enthusiastic gale, driving before it sheeted rain and great ragged wastes of mist. And the second day was like unto the first The third day broke full of the spirit of the second; but toward noon the rain ceased. In the evening, weary of the sedulous attentions of a cloud of famished mosquitoes, Whitaker sat fn darkness, not tired enough to go to bed, too tired to bestir himself and seek distraction from a tormenting train of thought A pool of limpid moonJlcfet lay like milk upon the floor beneath a window and held his dreaming game while mem- Of the 70 kinds of birds existing In New Zealand, 30 are found nowhere else, and of this number by far the larger portion Is flightless; this, no doubt owing to the fact that for ages, ever since the sea swallowed up a conpageant of wasted years. Infinitely desolate and dreary in his vision. How long he sat unstirring, preoccupied with fruitless inquiry, he did not guess. But later he reckoned it could not have been long after ten o'clock when he was disturbed. The sound of a footfall, hushed and stealthy on the veranda, roused him with a start and almost at the same Instant he became aware of a shadow that troubled the pool of moonlight the foreshortened shadow of a man's head and shoulders. He sat-ap, tense, rigid with surprise and wonder, and stared at the silhouetted body at pause just outside the window. The fellow was stooping'to peer in. Had Drummond hunted him down to this isolate hiding place? On the thought he leaped up, in two strides slammed out through the door. "I s a y T he cried loudly.

Here he pulled up, for the first time alive to the intrinsic Idiocy of his conduct and diverted besides by the discovery that his Impression of the early evening, that the cottage was tenanted, had been well founded. The ground floor windows shone with a dim but warm Illumination. He could see distinctly part of a living room rather charmingly furnished in a summery way. At Its farther end a darkhaired woman In a plain black dress with a short apron and lace cap sat reading by lamplight—evidently a maid. Her mistress—judging- by appearances— was outside on the lawn below the veranda, strolling to and fro In company with a somewhat short and heavy man who wore an automobile duster and vtsored cap. By contrast, her white-clad figure, invested with the illusion of moonlight seemed unusually talL Her hair was fair, shining like a headdress of palest gold as she bent her head, attentive to her companion. And Whitaker thought to discern an unusual quality in her movements, a quality of charm and a grnciousness of mien rarely to be noticed even In the most beautiful of the women he had known. Of a sudden the man paused, produced a watch from beneath his duster, consulted it brielly and shut the case with a snap. He said something In a brusque tone, and was answered by what sounded like a pleasant negative. Promptly, as Lf annoyed, he turned and strode hastily away, disappearing round the house. Alone, the woman watched hi in as long as he was in sight, her head to one side with an effect of critical amusement Then, with a low laugh, she crossed the veranda and entered the lighted room. At the same time Whitaker,. lingering and watching without In the least understanding or even questioning why he was doing this thing so cohtraryto his instincts, heard the heavy rumble of a motor car on the far side of the house and saw the machine swing off across the clearing Into the woods. In the living room the woman was saying: "You may go now, Ellse. I'll be ready for bed before long." "Yes, madam." The maid rose and moved briskly out of eight Her mistress, casting aside a scarf of embroidered Chinese brocade, stood for a moment In deep thought, her head bowed, the knuckle of a slender forefinger tapping her chin—charmingly posed. Whitaker abruptly understood why It was he loitered, peeping— she was absolutely beautiful, a creature both exquisite and superb, a matchless portrait for the galleries of his memory. MANY BIRDS UNABLE TO FLY; Something—a movement or a slight sound—had drawn bis attention from the woman. He saw the other man standing boldly in full moonlight all his attention concentrated on the brilliant picture framed by the window. He was unquestionably without knowledge of the nearness of the other—of Whitaker in the shadows. And though his back wua to the nroon and his face further shadowed by a peaked cap, Whitaker was absolutely sure of the man—he was certainly Drummond. Without pause for thought he sprang toward him. in a guarded voice uttering his name—"Drummond 1" But the fellow proved too alert and quick for him. Whltaker's hands closed on nothing more substantial than thin air; at the same time he received a blow upon his bruised shoulder smart and forcible enough to stagger him and evoke an in* Don't Neglect Kidneys Swamp-Root Dr. Kilmer's Prescription, Overcomes Kidney Trouble He Sat Up Tense, Rigid With Surprise. voluntary grunt of pain.

Mr. Stewart was Interested and he got htB boat, went out on tlte river and captured the fish. He put it In a tub of water and found that It wouldn't sink. This led to further examination and Mr. Stewart says he found the fish had swallowed a large quantity of wheat—having access to the wheat as a result of the recent floods—the wheat grains had swelled so the fish couldn't digest thera and altogether that gorge of wheat had put that fish In a bad fix. He not only could not go under the water, but he was doubtless suffering much "misery" on his inside*.

Washington, Dec. 4.—That the interoats ot national defense require that control of railway Hues should rest yfith the federal government and not •with the states was the claim advanced by Alfred P. Thorn, counsel to the Railway Executive*' Advisory Committee, In concluding 61s preliminary statement of the case for the railways before the Newlands Joint -Committee on Interstate Commerce. *We must be efficient as a nation if We are to deal successfully with our national emergencies," said Mr. Thorn, "and vre must appreciate that efficient transportation Is an essential condition ot national efficiency. If we are to halt and weaken our transportation ayatems- by state lines, by the permanent Imposition of burdens by unwise regulation, we will make national efficiency Impossible." states' Rights Would Net Suffer. Mr. Thorn cited many instances in n h k h shippers In one state were injuriously affected by selfish resrulattata Imposed on the railroads by iielfhboring states. He pointed out teat federal regulation would be no in vasion of the rights of the states but would be the means of preserving the rlgnts which they acquired when they entered the Union, one of which was the right to.the free movement of their products across state boundaries. What the Railroads Advocate. The principles which the railroads believa should be incorporated In any just system of regulation were sum marized by Mr. Thorn as follows: 1. The entire power and duty of regulation should bo In the hands of the national government, except as to matters so essentially local and Incidental that they cannot be used to Interfere with the efficiency of the service or the just rights of the furriers. 2.

It should bo made the duty of the Interstate Commerce Commission, in the exercise of its powers to fix reasonable rates, to so adjust these rates that they shall be just at once to the public and to the carriers. To this end the Commi^iion, tn determining rates, Should consider the necessity of main* taining efficient transportation and extensions of facilities, the relation of expenses to rates and the rights of shippers, stockholders and creditors of the roads. 6, Ifbe Interstate Commerce Commls Blon should be mvested with the pow er to fix the rates for "carrying mails. 7, The federal government should have exclusive power to supervise the Issue of stocks and bonds by railroad carriers engaged in interstate and foreign commerce. 8, The law should recognize the essential difference between things which restrain trade in the case of ordinary ntile cjjpcerns end those which rain trwfe in the case of common rlers. The question of competition ot the only fair criterion. 0 . l i s t law should expressly provide Ineeting and agreement of trafer officers of railmads in rerates or practices.

State Highway Commissioner Outlines Plans for Work. • • • • • • s < WILL OBTAIN FEDERAL AID Legislature WilJ Be Asked to Appropriate $450,000, Half Amount Government Will Spend on State Highways. t , Lansing.—With plans outlined for fin extensive campaign of road building in Michigan during the coming >ear, State Highway Commissioner F r a n k Rogers has prepared bills to be introduced at the opening of the legislature, which provides machinery whereby Michigan can take a d v a n t a g e of the federal law which gives government aid to trunk-line highways. To aid in the construction of federal roads Rogers will ask the legisl a t u r e for an appropriation of $450,- 000 for the next two years. This is approximately one-half the amount the federal government will spend on the construction of trunk-line highways in Michigan, during the next two years, according to the state highway commissioner, whose bill has been approved by one of the federal governm e n t ' s road experts. Under the t e r m s of the bill drafted by Rogers and approved by the federal government, counties working under the so-called county road system and having a valuation per trunk line mile of $100,000 and less, shall pay 25 |>er cent of the cost of federal-aided roads, the state and federal governm e n t paying t h e remainder. Counties h a v i n g , a valuation per t r u n k line mile of $200,000 shall pay 30 per cent, t h e s t a t e and federal government paying the remainder. Counties having a valuation per trunk line mile between $200,000 and $300,000 shall pay 85 per cent, the state and federal gove r n m e n t s to pay the remainder. Counties having a valuation per trunk line mile between $300,000 and $400,000 ©hall pay 40 per cent, t h e s t a t e and federal government to pay the remainder. Counties baving a valuation between $400,000 and $500,000 shall pay 45 per cent of the cost, the s t a t e and federal governments to pay t h e remainder. Counties having a valuation p e r trunk line mile of $500,000 per mile and upward shall pay 50 per cent, t h e state nnd federal governments to pay the remainder. Michigan Troops C t ^ ' r s Ho/ne.

Michigan state banks and t r u s t companies show a gain In aggregate business of $30,8:45,751.28 since September 12, 11)10, according to the report of F r a n k W. Merrick, state banking commissioner. For the two months' period, following September 12, 1910, the s t a t e hanks, 485 in number, and seven t r u s t companies show commercial and savings deposit increases amounting to $28,343,4;J3.80, while for the same period loans increased $21,717,421.90. However, this showing is small considered with the showing made in a year period, for the Report shows that during the past year t h e state banks and trust companies had a total increase in deposits of $114,498,552.44 and an increase In loans of $93,427,- 745.44, with capital stock increases for t h e same period amounting to $3,961,- 465. Of the net increase in deposits for the past year, $49,354,421.23 was In commercial deposits and $65,144,- 131.21 in savings deposits. T h a t the banks themselves enjoyed a period of prosperity is evidenced from the report, which shows net earnings of the state b a n k s and trust companies for the year ending J u n e 80, 1910, to have been $6,188,14Z.49, or 0.23 per cent on average capital, surplus, undivided profits and deposits of ,$508,930,365.08. T h e r e w a s paid in divi d e n d s $3,653,554.90, or 6.58 per cent on an'average capital and surplus of $5,- 486,372.32. That the banking business is not all profit, however, is shown by the report, ~in which figures give a total of £1,675,874.30 cnarged off on account of bosses, bad debts, e t c Interest paid for the past year amounted to $10,- fe80,30&27, expenses paid totaled $6,- 177,878.78, taxes paid $1,057,980.92, w h i l e the gross earnings totaled $25,- fft~686m ' Some idea of the magnitude of the amounts of money Intrusted to banks la M l ^ f * can bo gained from the Opposes Tax Chang*. T h e suggestion that the specific tax on the railroads awl public utilities, now used for the p a y m e n t of school teachers' salaries, be taken for the general expense of r u n n i n g the s t a t e government, has considerable opposition among\ certain s t a t e officers, led by Auditor General O. B. Fuller. Some time ago S t a t e T r e a s u r e r John \V. H a a r e r advanced the plan, and now, according to former Senator George Lord of Detroit, it is to be suggested tu the legislature by the Michigan s t a t e tax conference. "I think that; propositi on is foolish," says Fuller, "and it would be absolutely useless to spring it. They tried It at the last constitutional convention and it was hardly heard of after discussion started. It Is true t h a t the specific tax raises a big sum for the primary schools, but at the s a m e time you must remember t h a t the abolition of t h a t fund for schools would increase the school tax throughout the s t a t e about 50 per cent." report, which of course includes only f Saolnawlan Fellows Aid. tfce stato banks and trust companies, which show a total deposit of $510,- 4I8A8&41, which is divided as follows: tfibercfsJ deposits subject to check, ^jg>79y08LS*; comisorrfil certificates of deposit, fMjMM»T21; state moneys m deposit $1*17,6*440; postal savtecs, *U4*867.4B; savlnts deposits, -i*0tSBuaijmMi sffUMs osrtliostes of Phthisis Hard to Catch. It is hard to "catch" tuberculosis, the state board of h e a l t h tuberculosis survey workers declare, in spite of the fact t h a t they e s t i m a t e there are between 20,000 and 30,000 cases of the disease In Michigan. "It sounds absurd to say t h a t it is h a r d to catch tuberculosis," said Dr. WUJIam De Kleine, "but it Is a fact. If t h a t were not the case most of us would have the disease. T h e tuberculosis germ is hard to grow even in the laboratory under favorable condltions, and after it h a s been grown it easily dies. In most cases a person catches the disease because either through his own fault, through the fault of others, or through the fault of conditions, he forces himself upon the disease instead of the disease forcing itself on him. Alcohol or overwork or oxygen starvation or underfeeding or other disease run his body down to such a low ebb of vitality that even so slow a germ as the tubercle bacillus can successfully attack it without being itself destroyed." Beaked Fight to Courts, Despite the decision of the state canvassing board not to grant a recount for congressman in Jackson city, the hoard cannot issue ;.n election certificate' to Mark R. Bacon for the Second district, as* a t t o r n e y s for Congressman Beakes Jaade an unexpected move immediately after the action of the board by serving an injunction on the members from Circuit J u d g e Kiune of Washtenaw county, restraining tha bogrd from issuing a certificate to Bacon pending the outcome of the appeal to the supreme court. After serving the injunction the Beakes a t t o r n e y s filed a petition in the state supreme court asking an order against the state canvassing board to show cause why It should not grant a r e c o u n t The board, composed of the secretary of state, state treasurer and superintendent of public instruction, concurred In following the written opinion of the a t t o r n e y general in refusing the request for a recount. T h e opinion cited the legal fact tlyit congress is the judge of the qualifications of its members. The 1913 state s t a t u t e under which Beakes claims a recount h a s never been tested, but Beakes' action will force a ruling on its constitutionality and prevent Bacon from getting a seat on t h e temporary roll of congress through a certificate of election. It means the fight for the Second district congressional seat will be settled In the state courts rather than in congress, and means a legal rather than a political decision.

This is the day for the farmer, the day that he is coming into his own. He is gradually becoming the dictator a s It becomes more apparent that upon his industry depends the great problem of feeding a great world. The farmer of - Canada and the United States h a s it within himself to-hold the p o r t i o n that stress of circumstances has lifted him into today. T h e conditions abroad are such that the utmost dependence will rest upon the farmers of this continent for some time after the war, and for this reason there is no hesitation in making the statement that war's demands are, and for a long time will be, Inexhaustible, and the claims t h a t will be made upon the soil will with difficulty be met. There are today 25,000,- 000 men in the fighting r a n k s in the old world. The best of authority gives 75 per cent and over as having been d r a w n from the farms. There is therefore nearly 75 per cent of the land formerly tilled now being unworked. Much of this land is today In a devast a t e d condition and ft the war should end tomorrow it will take years to bring it back to Its former producing capacity. Instead of the farmer producer producing, he has become a consumer, making the strain upon those who have been left to do the farming a very difficult one. There may be agitation as to the high cost of living, and doubtless t h e r e is reason for it in many cases. T h e middleman may boost the prices, combines may organize to elevate the cost, hut one cannot get away from the fact that the demand regulates the supply, and the supply, regulates the price. The price of wheat—In fact, all grains—as well as cattle, will remain high for some time, and the low prices t h a t have prevailed will not come again for some time. After the war the demand for cattle, not alone for beef, but for stock purposes, to replenish the exhausted herds of Europe, will be keen. F a r m educators and advisers are telling you to prepare for this emergency. How much better it can be done on the low-priced lands of today, on lands that cost from ten to twenty dollars per acre, than It can on two and three hundred-dollaran- acre land. The lnnds of Western Canada meet all the requirements. They are productive in every sense of the word. The best of grasses can be grown with nhnndant yields and the grain can he produced from these soils t h a t bents the world, nnd the same may be said of cattle and horses. T h e climate Is all that is required. Those who are competent to judge claim t h a t land prices will rise in value from twenty to fifty per cent. This Is looked for in Western Canada, w h e r e ' lands are decidedly cheap today, and those who a r e fortunate enough to secure now will realize wonderfully by means of such an investment.

' V , F'- V-~i v •> - > • The Arrival of the New Year NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS THE WAY THEY GO Better to Make Many and Break Some Than to Have Made None at All. It's very much the fashion to Joke about making New Year's resolutions; but as a matter of fact there Is advantage In making resolutions, If they are good ones, and there Is no other date except one's birthday anniversary so appropriate for the practice. That Individual must be totally devoid of sentiment who has no sentiment on the subject of New Year. J&kers whose topic is New Year's resolutions lay stress on the fact that many of them are broken. A fact it is—there is no denying it. P>ut not all of them are broken. A man who makes ten New Year's resolutions, every one of them good, and breaks nine, is better off to the extent of the virtue involved In keeping the one to which he adheres than If he made none at all. For the sake of argument, however, perhaps It may be conceded that making- numerous good resolutions at once is open to criticism on the ground that It is harder to attain perfection in many things than in a few things, and that failures cause discouragement, and that concentration is helpful to success. From this point of view the wise thing for New Year's resolutionmakers to do is to survey their failings and frame a few resolutions hitting the high spots.

Oh! for an old-fashioned New Tear day, With enjoyments keen and pure, When fun and frolic r«l«med supreme, Good fellowship the lure. As we journeyed to the parties Afoot, perchance by sleigh, Thfr-atmosphere seemed laden with Best wishes of the day. With good old hearty handshakes We knew were welcome grips, Instead of the present method of , Just touching the fingertips. How we merrily danced the lancsra, Danced It with a seal. Also the polka and minuet. And Jolly Virginia reeL Row the young and old enjoyed It Each in his separate way, Youth thinking of the present. Age of the bygone day. While times and vogues may change, alaa* And nature's will obeys, I*n still retain sweet memories of Ths good old-fashioned ways. Rather Plain-Spoken. "How about the New Tear's refutations r "I never make any," answered the busy man. "Ton don't mean to say you axe entirely free from bad habits 7" MNo, Indeed, but making New Tear resolutions I dont Intend to keep is not one. of them." Look Forward. Another milestone la life's journey Disappears from human sight, Another year is flooring onward Swiftly slipping in Its flight. But what has gone is gone for always And so let ns shed no tear Just let ns hope that »17 Will over be a Happy T« Happy Now Year. With Joy we'll tumble oat of bed 7 s see the Now Tear dawn: For now wo are iota bettor fed. Good Now Tow Don* ONE MA vs aivd 5KrvibFi Their Care and GJtivetioiv KM ) While Hedge Lovers, as a Rule, Prefer the Evergreens as Hedge Material, Calla Lilies Are Used to Advantage In Some Places, SPEAKING OF HEDGES By L I M A a ROSE. More and more the hedge is coining Into its own. For miles and mile* along the New Jersey coast, reaching from Atlantic Highlands to Sea Girt is the most continuous stretch of country homes In America. Millionaires, neaT-millionaires, people with money and people who are merely comfortable have made this region a show place of never-ending Interest. There are more millionaires among the home owners of this one spot than the entire realm of England holds. They have discarded the fence almost entirely and mile after mile of privet comes Into view as one motors along the smooth, beautifully kept roads. There are also, in the Pacific region, hedges of geraniums five feet high, hedges of calla lilies and of roses, but the substantial, serviceable evergreen hedge is the last word for elegance and utility, and the New Jersey coast offers the best possible field for its study. Here Is how the landscape gardeners of this section handle the plants: Before the plants are brought tu the ground a quantity of top soil is procured for the purpose of filling In about the roots, They need lots of moisture to keep them healthy and to maintain the rich green color. Then the transplanting is done in the spring and the plants are handled with care to prevent the roots from being dried out by the wind. The evergreens that run from 12 to 24 Inches are set from 8 to 12 inches apart. The larger plants can be placed with 18-lnch intervals. In order that the evergreens may be bushy, they are pruned when planted, and this makes the subsequent shaping of the hedge easy. The spring time is taken for the pruning, because the plants are then resuming their growth and the process finds its best results. Starting at the beginning, the first thing to do is to dig a trench wide enough not to cramp the roots, so that they can spread flat and not touch the sides. Then plenty of well-rotted stable manure is worked in the trench with the soil. After the planting a coating of manure is placed on the surface of the soil, covering all of the earth that has been disturbed. This mulch Is left In place for a year, and is then usually worked into the soil. Where double-row hedges are required the plants are set in rows six to nine Inches apart and the plants from 6 to 16 inches apart In the rows. The whole eastern coast is beginning to show the effect of hedge culture. Newport, the queen of summer resorts. Long Island and all of the other show regions are. literally marked with the natural substitute for the fences. DEMOCRACY OF FLOWERS By ELIZABETH VAN BBNTHUY8IN. Flowers, like genius, belong in the family of democracy. The one Is Just as pat to pick out a log cabin as a palace for its home. President Wilson, speaking at the log cabin in which Abraham Lincoln was born, called attention to this feature of genius. When he said that genius picked Its society as it willed, without regard to the status of the persons, he also called attention to one of the distinctive attributes of flowers, I am reminded of this idea by one of the moat recent soda! events among too millionaire* of too Bast Down on land, where thoro a r e acorotof mora costly than anything that any ktaavrfor dream* of baUding, * of ffcfe for an entertainment. They had three elegant prizes to be awarded. For what, you ask. Bridge? No. These women of the aristocracy of money came together, each bearing a little basket, to «ompete for the prizes that were given for the best arranged basket of flowers that had been grown by the woman who arranged the haad basket. All of the money commanded by people who consider one with a mere million poor, could not provide these women with a pleasure that the poorest child of the log cabin cannot enjoy. What child Is there In the land who cannot pick and arrange a bunch of posies with as much freedom as the wealthiest of these grand dames? I think It a good Idea. "Why not have little contests at which the taste and good judgment of the members of each little circle of a community will be tested by the arrangement of flowers ? One need not award cut glass and silver prizes. There can be Just as much rivalry and competition where the prize Is but a ribbon. And when the award Is made the committee that judges the prizes ought to be made to tell exactly why one bouquet or basket is better arranged than another. The members should say in what respect one set of llowers is better grown than another. Thus will be established an Interchange of ideas as to the growing of plants and flowers and the artistic sensibilities of each contestant will be developed while the stock of general information will be improved. Flowers are the true democrats. They are as sweet for the pauper as for the prince. There is absolutely no bar to a study of their beauties and I \Vould like to know that in a million homes the example of this rich coterie on Long island Is being followed to the profit ef other people and to the better production of the pretty things of life. TERRIFIC BATTIE OPENS ON SERETH ! FIELD MARSHAL VON MACKENSEN STARTS B A T T L E COVERING A FRONT OF 200 MILES. RUSSIANS FORCED TO COVER Teuton Curs Placed lrt a Semi-Circls Arc Battering the ^usso-Rumanian Defense Positions. The battle of the FVreih Is in full hlayt. Along a trout <»i li00 miles from Xht- Karuio (C'a.si:)) river, in the area. between the Carpathian mountains and the Transylvaniun Alps, eastward to the headwaters of the Danube, Field Marshal von Muckensen, opened what holds promise to become the biggest and moat fateful offensive of the war. * With a "drumfire" whose fierceness is emphasized by the Russian war office bulletin, the big Teuton guns, emplaced in a huge semicircle fronting the Sereth and the southern border of Bessarabia, are battering the Russo- Rumanian defense positions, clearing the path for infantry onslaughts upon whose success or failure hangs the fate of the entire southern line of the Russians, from Volhynia down to the Transylvania ridges, and whose ultimate goal Is Odessa. At some points the Teuton shelling was so terrific that, according to official admission from Petrograd the Rumanians and their Muscovite allies were forced to seek cover from its murderous hail. In other sectors the Invaders already have sent their infantry into battle, pushing b?.ck the (Winders. The center <*f Maekensen's attacking front faces the Foesami-Galatz-Braila line, a powerful'.defense sector, fortified vtars ago b> the Rumanian* against a possible Russian invnrlcn. Rimnicu-Sarat, the railroad north of Bu?eu, the Praila, the big Danube position surrounded fern three side?, are the immediate otiectivea of the center. These points captured, the battle lin^ will bo pushed automatically to the south bank of the Sereth. TERMS GIVEN TO NEUTRALS Germany Has Permitted the Holy Fathors to Open Sealed Packet. THE TULIP IN POTS. Some varieties of tnlips are well adapted to the flowerpot The Clusiana vent grows to a height of 20 inches, with a slender stem. The leaves are very long and narrow, and the flower sometimes measures two inches across. This variety is of the funnel form, with bright lemon-yellow flowers, with light shading of green or white, sometimes streaked with pink. It Is very fragrant, and when properly cultivated is one of the most beautiful of all the tulip family. The tulip Is easy to cultivate, as It thrives well in either heavy or light soil. It does better, however, in rather light soil, welldrained and fairly rich. Those grown in heavy, black soil produce smaller flowers, and the colors are not nearly so bright In some of the upland* of Virginia the ideal tulip soil is found for the growing of bulbs, and it Is said to be almost identical with that of Holland, where this flower Is so succea* fully grown. Rome—Germany handed to the neutral nations whose services she asked in forwarding peace suggestions 'o her enemit s, a sealed packet contain* ing the specific terms on which sh$ was willing to make peac r\ according to a report in circulation here. The report indicates this packet was I sent with instructions that it was only to be read and forwardsd to Ger* | many's enemies of the entente if those powers, answering Germany's proffers, actually requested terms. Otherwise, It was to be returned unopened. The same report declared in the case of the note submitted to Pope Benedict, Germany permitted the Holy Father to read this seoret list of con* ! cessions and demands. No official comment was obtainable here either from the Vatican or the court as to this report or as to the official view on the peace suggesiona contained in President Wilson's note. It was apparent, however, that Italian officials are puzzled by the America* suggestion, considering there is soma diplomatic secret behind it.

What one young lady did in such circumstances is told entertainingly in this installment. ! • You remember, Hugh Whitaker, thinking he was about to *'e, married an innocent girl to ^ save w honor and departed Im- «s mediately i«»r the Southern sea*. Five years later he returns to New York, healthy *ti<j wealthy, and finds the wife, now « famous actress known as Sara Law, engaged to marry Drummond, his old friend and partner. She disappears suddenly. Drummond supposedly commits suicide, as her previous lovers had done. Whitaker Is tnurder- *'t ously assaulted In the dark and x> goes to the country home oT his j | friend Martin Ember, near the sea. He discovers a mysterious spy there and thinks It Is Drummond. 3rtr^&<rtrfrfr&*Krft&<M>frfr<rfrftiHHrtr5 CHAPTER X. —11 — The Spy. Already the sun was warm, the faint breeze bland. Standing at the window and shading his eyes against the glare, Whitaker surveyed a world newwashed and radiant; the landlocked bay dimpled with vagrant catspaws and smitten with sunlight as with a scimitar of fire; the earth fresh and fragrant, steaming faintly in the ardent glow of the dawn. In another moment he was at the kitchen door, interrupting Sum Fat's first matutinal attentions to his teeth with a demand for a bathing suit. Three minutes later, from the end of the small dock, he dived neatly, coming to the surface with his flesh tingling with delight of the cool water; then, with the deliberate and powerful movements of an experienced swimmer, struck away from the land. Two hundred yards out he paused, rolled over on his back, and, hands clasped beneath his head, floated serenely, sunlight warming his upturned face, his body rejoicing in the suave, clean, fluid embrace. Then something disturbed him—a dull fluttering, vibrant upon his submerged eardrums. Extending his arms and moving his hands gently to preserve his poise, he lifted his head from the water. From the landing stage on the Fiske place a motor boat was standing out The churning of its propeller had aroused him. He could see but a single person for all Its crew. Seated astern, dividing her attention between the side steering wheel and the engine, she was altogether ignorant of the onlooker. Only her head and shoulders showed above the coaming— her head with its shining crown, her shoulders cloaked with a light wrap gathered at the throat Whitaker, admiring, wondered . . . Sweeping in a wide arc as it gathered speed, the boat presently shot out smartly on a straight course for the barrier beach. Why? What business had she there? And at an hour so early? No affair of his—Whitaker admitted as much freely. And yet he was beginning his fourth day on the Great West,bay without having set foot upon Its Great South beach l Ridiculous oversight! And one to be remedied without another hour's delay. Grinning with amused toleration of his own perverse sophistry, he turned over on his side and struck out in the wake of the motor boat When at length he waded ashore he found the motor boat moored in shallow water at the end of a long and substantial dock. He patted the flanks of the vessel as he waded on. "Good little boat!" said he, Walking rapidly, very soon he stood at the head of a rude flight of wooden steps which ran dorm from the top of a wave-eaten sand bluff, some ten or twelve feet in height, to the broad and gently shelving ocean beach. Midway between the sand bluff and the breaking waters stood the woman Whitaker fec€ followed. (There wasn't any O N fflffiHnp; terms—be had followed bar Hi bis confounded, fatuous curiosity t) Her face was to the sea, bar hands dasped behind bar. Now tbe wlad modeled bar cloak sweetly to bar body, »ow whipped Its skirts away, dtedosteg lege if**!*** and slinikrr and grs> i-iously modeled. She wits dressed, it seemed, for bathing. Whitaker turn to go, and turning.let his gaze sweep up from the beach and along the brow of the bluff. He paused, frowning. Some twenty feet or so distant the legs of a man, trousered and booted, protruded from a hollow between two hummocks of sand. And the toes of the boots were digging Into the sand, indicating that the man was lying prone; and that meant (if he were neither dead nor sleeping) that lie was watching the woman on the beach. Indignation, righteous Indignation, warmed Whitaker's bosom. It was all very well for him to catch sight of the woman through her cottage window, by night, and to swim over to the beach In her wake the next morning, but what right had anybody else to constitute himself her shadow? Besides, it was. possible that the man was Drummond. He strode forward and stood over the man, looking down at his back. It was true, as he had assumed—the fellow was watching the woman. And his back was very like Drummond's. A little quiver of excitement mingled with anticipatlve satisfaction ran through him. Now, at last the mystery was to be cleared up, his future relations with the pseudo-suicide defined and established. Deliberately he extended his bare foot and nudged the man's ribs. "Drummond . . ." he said In a clear voice, decided but unaggressive. WItIt an oath and what seemed a single, qufck motion, the man jumped to his feet and turned to Whitaker a startled and Inflamed countenance. "What the devil!" he cried angrily. "Who are you? What do you want? What d'you mean by coming round here and calling me Drummond?" He was no more Drummond than he was Whitaker himself. "For that matter" — something clicked In W7hitaker's brain and subconsciously he knew that his temper was about to take the bridge—"what do you mean by spying on that lady yonder?" It being Indisputably none of his concern, the unfairness of the question only lent it offensive force. The man made this painfully clear through the medium of an intolerable epithet and an attempt to land his right fist on Whitaker's face. The face, however, was elsewhere when the fist reached the point for which it had been aimed ; and Whitaker closed in promptly as the fellow's body followed his arm, thrown off balance by the momentum of the unobstructed blow. What followed had entered into the calculations of neither. Whitaker felt himself suddenly falling through air thick with a blinding, choking cloud of dust and sand. The body of the other was simultaneously wrenched violently from his grasp. Then he brought up against solidity with a bump that seemed to expel every cubic inch of air from his longs. And he heard himself cry out sharply with the pain of his weak ankle newly twisted. . . . He sat up, gasping for breath, brushed the sand from his face and eyes, and as soon as his whirling wits settled a little, comprehended what had happened. Half burled in the debris of a miniature landslide, he sat at the foot of the bluff. Immediately above his head a ragged break showed where the sand, held together solely by beach grass, had given way beneath the weight of the antagonists. A little distance from him the other man was picking himself up, apparently unhurt but completely surfeited. Without delay, with not even so much as a glance at Whitaker, he staggered off for a few paces, then settled into a heavy, lumbering trot westward along the beach. He did not wish the woman to recognize him; therefore he was putting himself out of her way. For she was approaching. When Whitaker caught sight of her, she was already close at hand. She had been running. Now as their glances met, hers keenly inquiring of Whitaker's still bewildered eyes, she pulled up abruptly and stood astare. He saw, or fancied, something closely akin to fright and consternation in her look. The flush in her cheeks gave way to a swift pallor. The hands trembled that drew ber beach cloak close about ber. She seemed to make an ineffectual effort to speak. On bis part, Whitaker tried to get up. • keen twinge in bis ankle, however, wrung an involuntary .grunt from Mm, and with a wry grimace be sank back. "Ob r cried tne woman, impulsively. "You're burtr She advanced a pace, solicitous aid sympathetic. "On, not muck," Wbitnkar replied to a tea* more of hope tnan of ance. He felt tenderly of the Injured (member. "Only my ankle—twisted It a few days ago, and now again. It'll be all right in >x moment or two." Her gaze traveled from him to the edge of the bluff. "I didn't see—I mean, 1 heard something, and turned, and saw you trying to sit up and the other man rising." "Sorry we startled you," Whitaker mumbled, wondering how the deuce he was going to get home. His examination of the ankle hadn't proved greatly encouraging. "But I—ah—how did It happen?" "A mere misunderstanding," he said lightly. "I mistook the gentleman for someone I knew. He resented it, so we started to scrap like a couple of schoolboys. Then . . . I wish to heaven It had been his leg instead of mine!" "But still I hardly understand . . .* "Well, you see, I—ah—rin visiting Ember—the cottage next to yours, I believe. That Is, if I'm not mistaken, you have the Fiske place?" She nodded. "And so, this morning, it struck me as a fine young idea to swim over here and have a look at the beach. And then I found that chap watching you—" That startled her. "How do you mean—watching me?" . "Why—ah—that's what he seemed to be doing." She shook her head. "You must be mistaken." "Daresay. I generally am when I Jump at conclusions. Anyway, he didn't like It much when I called him out Of his name. I gathered, in fact, that he was considerably put out SilTy, wasn't it?" "Rather r she agreed gravely. For a moment or two they eyed one another in silence, Whitaker wondering just how much of a fool she was thinking him and dubiously considering various expedients to ingratiate himself. "I don't seem to think of anything useful to say," he ventured. "Can you help me out? Unless you'd be interested to know my name's Whitaker— Hugh Whitaker— ?" - She acknowledged the Information merely by a brief nod. "It seems to me," she said seriously, "that the pressing question is, what are you going to do about that ankle? Shall you be able to walk?" "Hard to say," he grumbled, a trifle dashed. With infinite pains and the aid of both hands and his sound foot, "Please !" she said—not altogether patiently. - He eyed her askance. There was in this Incredible situation u certain piquancy, definitely provocative, transcending the claims his Injury made upon his interest. Last night for the first time he- had been this woman, and from a distance had thought her desirable; now, within twelve hours, he found himself with uu arm round her neck i And then suddenly she turned her head and intercepted his whole-hearted stare. For a thought wonder glimmered In the violet eyes; then they flashed disconcertingly; finally they became utterly colC and disdainful. "Well?" she demanded in a frigid voice. He looked away in complete confusion, and felt his face burning to the temples. "I beg your pardon," he mumbled unhappily. He essayed to walk. Twenty feet and more of treacherous, dry, yielding sand separated them from the flight of steps that ascended the bluff. It proved no easy Journey. The stairway accomplished, he limped to a wooden seat and sat down with much grim decision in his manner. But he mustered a smile to meet her look of concern, and shook his head. tuThus far and no farther." "Oh, but you must not be stubborn 1" MI mean to be—horrid stubborn. In fact, I don't mind warning you that there's a famous strain of mule In the Whitaker make-up." She was, however, not to be diverted ; and her fugitive frown bespoke Impatience, if he were any judge. £ Llfjfjfj^lfjfjfJlQQj^lQlfj^Qiyj^QQQifljj^, Who do you think this girl is?

One*'of Davitt's stories intended for inclusion Is the following: The "Irish Tribune," as Davitt was called, having served many years in Chatham and other prisons as a political prisoner, had been a free man some six months, when he was addressing a huge meeting In the Rotunda, Dublin. Davitt had worked his audience up to a tense pitch of enthusiasm and concluded a great speech amid a perfect storm of applause. When he had resumed his seat and the applause was subsiding a voice from the gallery cried out: "Bravo, X Twenty-nine I" Davitt started and, looking up, beheld the grinning face of a well-known '•cracksman" whom he had left finishing a five years' term in Chatham prison, and who had hailed Davitt by his prison number. It did not take an Irish audience long to scent out the humor of the situation and the Rotunda rang with peals of laughter, In which both 'Tier majesty's ex-guests" heartily Joined. ^¾.^^ * * Whitaker Closed In Promptly. he lifted himself and contrived to stand erect for an instant then bore a little weight on the hurt ankle—and blanched, paling visibly beneath his ineradicable tan.

While we very naturally dislike s plant that poisons us When we touch It, yet if we investigate the reason for its poison we discover that a vast number of plants develop poisons and near poisons, and when we look over the list we find that we would be rather badly off without them, the National Geographic Magazine states. It is true that most of them are poisonous only when eaten, and that few are poisonous to the touch, but they have all developed these qualities In self-defense. Some of them store their poison In their seeds, others In their root stocks and others In their roots to protect their progeny from harm.

Latin-American Diplomatic Representatives Hold Session to Talk Over the President's Peace Plan. Washington—Washington is prepared for a general chorus of indorsement by the neutral nations of the world of President Wilson's move toward peace in Europe. The nature and form of the Swiss note pledging support to the president's peace policy was accepted as practically guaranteelag prompt action by the other neutrals. Washington diplomats declared the Scandinavian nations could be expected to fall into line behind the president's proposals and it was stated authoritatively that Sweden would probably forward an endorsement following closely the form of the Swiss note, within a few days. A conference of diplomatic representatives of important Latin-American countries was held. The question of indorsing the president's peace plan and of taking action similar to that of Switerland was discussed and as a result of the conference long telegrams were sent to the home governments outlining the situation and asking for instructions. Further conferences will be held as soon as replies to the messages have been received. One of the conferees stated that the opinion of the Central and South American representatives here was "generally favorable to Indorsement of the American note." As an evidence of the German intention not to name terms that the Allies cannot accept it was stated authoritatively that Germany will not ask for the restoration of Kiau-Chau. Germany will merely ask that in return for the evacuation of Belgium and France her colonies "or their equivalent" shall be restored to her.

The impression of official and newspaper circles appeared in the editions under large display headlines as the all-important news of the Christmas season, reviving the interest in the German peace overtures which had sunk to a low point under the influence of the preliminary declarations of statesmen of the Entente powers. The American embassy, to which the ambassador, James W. Gerard, returned from New York, the Associated Press correspondent and the American charge, Joseph C.

In delivering the annual address to the senior class of Birmingham college, Bishop McCoy said: "What I consider honesty in a man—an undisputed desire for the truth, regardless of its consequences—is for a man to walk to the tax assessor's office and tell the flat-footed truth about the value of his property. This is a time, In my opinion, when men are tried and when they either tell the truth boldly or lie plain out." EXPORT RECORD IS BROKEN The Total Exports for Twelve Months Will Reach Five and a Half Billion. . Washington — When the United States closes its books the last day of this year it will have recorded the enormous total of foreign commerce of approximately eight billion dollars. Nothing like that was ever before even approached. The total exports for the 12 months will total about five and a half billion. Imports, approximately two an a half billion. The department ot commence haa just issued a statement regarding foreign commerce for November In which it is announced ftiat exports during that month were the largest on record, exceeding the previous "high month" of September by $3,000,000. The November total was $517,900,- 000; the total for the first 11 months of the calendar year, $4,961,200,000, against $3,195,400,000 for the same period in 1915 and $2,250,800,000 in 1913, the largest total in normal years, ' Imports for November were valued at $177,000,000; a slight decrease from October ($173,700,000;) but exceeding by $21,500,000 November, 1915, and by $35,000,000, or 25 per cent, the November average from 1911 to 1915. The 11 months' imports were valued at $2,- 188,800,000 as against $1,606,800,000 in 1915 and $1,674,600,000 in 1914, the former high record year in imports. Of the November imports, the department explains, 66 per cent entered free of duty, being about the same proportion as that for November, 1915.

Apropos of the $4,000,000 increase in wages that the Chicago meat packers have granted to the packing house workers, Prof. Robert Herrick said at the University of Chicago: "The fortunes of war, the fortunes of w a r !

By ELINOR J U t S H Warner Markham, a young Awerl- -euu, rich, « i s VH y much afraid that, If he married, i he glrr he chose would place a much higher value on his money than on himself. -He went abroad thinking that h« might meet some girl with whom he might have a real affair «f the heart. To conceal his wealth he j traveled iu second or third class railway carriage*, stayed at pensions (Warding bouses) instead of hotels and ^henrlse curtailed his expose*. 1¾ IPlorenoe, where art is the princi ~$*i attraction, he was one morning looking at the plctwea In the Ufflzl jttiiery ^when he came tjpop-a young girl copying a picture by Titian. The , sun, shining in at a window, glinted***] head of wavy hair the exact shade of I that belonging to a girl represented In j +h# painting sbe copied. Of the real | girl and the painted one Markham greatly preferred the former. Indeed, his heart went out to her with one of those sudden, unaccountable impulses -that are common in young persons. Standing behind her, he pretended to t>e examining ber work, but big eye* were fixed on her. A friend passed her, and she spoke a few -words of salutation In the English tongue without the British accent. Markham judged 4-hat she/was an American, und Aineri- '.£UH abroad need no introductiou. Our onntry seems very far from them, a distant land sunken far below the western horizon, from which they are •cut oft! and*from which they hear very little. This makes them all akin. *farkham, who was a flue Jvdpe'mf pfcluxes, did not hesitate to exprt s his approval of the way the copyist was dejhag her work and call her attention to 'gome differences between her copy and the oUginal. She looked up»at him, *avv/admiration iu Lis eyes and turned here ba^k upon her work with a flutleting of the heart that she had never felt beftn*. Markham told her that lie WAS 0¾ American, and she admitted 4*Ang from the same land. After -bin 'lug awhile he passed on. fcbe was Madeline Trevor. Having some artistic ability and the D e n s i t y of making ber own living, she had I ' M a little money left her in a legacy to study art in Florence.

He told ber that he loved ber and was only prevented from asking her to be bis wife by the misery that such a union would bring upou her. Markham noticed that there was no statement from Mies Trevor on this matter to match ul» own. She did not •ay, "Would that I had a fortune—how happy we could be together!"

MITCHEL $ A convivial party had assembled to -*ee the old year out imd the new yeav ,n. Among th^em were Lena Wadsworth and Frank Andrews. The company had not yet passed into the supper room, and these two were Kitting upart from the others. "Come, l>«na," *aid4*Tank, "you have. pot me off long enough. Olve me my answer.*' "You know very,well why I have put you off, Frank*; YoNl are captivated by every pretty girl you meet. If I said ye*, before three months had elapsed you would wish to be released. I have »o fancy for such an engagement." ''Try me." Miss Wadsworth toyed with a flower she held in her band and remained ailent. Finally she said; "I will not consent to HU engagement, but I will say thh*: If one year from tonight you can assure me that you have not ruiule love to another yirl you can ask me again to be your wife. and 1 will accept you." '"That's assumfnr »11 the ••oufltariry ia ou your side." "I think it l«." v The party was «* j»ay as the supper was excellent. The guests sat down at the table Htm o'clock and left It at S a. m. A treat deal of wine was trunk, and doubtless a great many tMngs were a lid that were not well considered before the saying. The party broke tip singing ' Auld Lang t|ynt/ and half an hour later the ban ~nafMt4ntti, des«yg^Ss%^flftB^ana«v «ettcff of all" worldly* pJsasures. At 11 o'clock the nest morning Frank Andrews awoke. On a table beside fete bed were his eyeglasses, his watch And a gold locket in the shape of a bfefcrt. The eyeglasses and the watch were familiar object* in a familiar J0*ce. But the gold heart? Frank looked atit earnestly, then thoughtful fc llow it bad come to l>e with the pl*#rarticle* be <onkl not imagine. r Tbat Which bad deepest,root within ijfm 4r*t shewed Itself above a confua* on « ^ happenings pertaining to last ^ | i f ftt's, <*onvlr iality.

And I am goniff to step out to the Utter box light before the door and; post thi»», eo that youTl get it tomorrow : luorniner and have a pleasant New Year day surprise.

H^ must have fallen again, and this was the longest fall he had i-ver made. Who was Gwen? Moet of the girls present at the New Year's party he knew by their family names, but not their Christian names. There were Miss Willie, Mi«s Evcrhait and Miss Worthington, whom he knew quite well, but which «>ne. if any, of them was Gweni . Ua UK»ked for a beading to the note, but, there wiw not even n tiato. The postmark wu* no ^uide at all. What deepened the mystery was that Frank had not. immoderately Indulged in the potent cup. There was no time during the evening that he indulged in lovemaking with an exchsiuge «if pledges that he would not have been conscious of the fact. But here WAS indisputable evidence that he bad. There was no other explanation. He went over every episode, so far as be could recall them, that had occurred during the evening without result. But five hours at an exhilarating siip]>or party embraced a «ood deal. "All I've got. to say," remarked Mr. Andrews to himself, "is that if I'm to be made happy every New Tears morning in this way I trust I shall end my earthly career on the ".1st «»f Ocretnber'next." There were two horns to the trouble One was a fear that Lena would learn that he had fallen from grace witfcia ' aftew«bawes«s{te* he-.lsid,»sat«4«l. Her HHh eoHiW&iT'y. UM btner*te»iiN»rance as to who was the girl he had exchanged pledges with, letting out of bed, he took up his dress ve^t and felt in the pocket where be carried his gohl pencil. It WJJS gone. Oh, how he tried to remember where It had gone! <>f all bis horrible entanglements-and lie had passed through a number of them —this was the worst. There would have been something like comfort in his not remembering the girl he had made love, to had it not been that Jje shrank from doing a dls honorable act. The girl, not receiving A visit from Link would suppose that be intended to jilt her and would bo too proud to trouble htm again. But from such a position he shrank. And would she not tell some- friend who would tell another and the matter finally get to Lena v were so many awful tbiu£s ht grow out of hla relapse to banish them ail. red tee bed was driv. head with a dressed be ngw than a» yr\ir wife.

What should he do to -palliate his offense to LenaV He did not see that be conhi do anything. It. is questionable if there was ever a lover who was without hope till the lady of his love had parsed to another, and Frank Andrews was no exception. About 8 o'clock in the evening he called Lena on the telephone. "Will you be at home this evening?" he asked. "Yes." "May I call?" "I shall be pleased to see you." There was nothing in the replies or the tone of vole© in which ihey were spoken either to reassure or discourage him as to an ultimate forgiveness. He would go to Lena and *oe what he could do. Lena kept him wading a few minutes, then entered the room where be was with neither i indictivoncss nor encouragement. He judge* I that it was indifference. "I received your note," lie said gloomily.

"Moonrtse and a fine, clear night," he said, staring through the wire mesh of the screen. "Wish you were well enough to go riding with me. However, you won't be laid up long, I fancy. And Til be back day after tomorrow. Now I must cut along." And within ten minutes Whitaker heard the motor car rumble off on the woodland road. He wasn't altogether sorry to be left to his own society, but in spite of his half-hearted perturbation and dissatisfaction, the weariness of a long, full day was so heavy upon him that he went to sleep almost before Sum Fat had finished making him comfortable. Extinguishing the candle, the Chinaman, moving with the silent assurance of a cat in the dark, closed and latched the shutters, then sat down Just outside the living-room door, to wait and watch, slecplessly alert. An hour passed in silence, and another, and yet another. Sum Fat sat moveless in the shadow, which blended so perfectly with his dark blue silk garments as to render him almost indistinguishable— a figure as patient and Imperturbable as any bland, stout, graven god of his religion. But in time there fell upon his ears another sound, to which he stirred, If imperceptiblydrawing himself together, tensing and flexing his tired muscles while his eyes shifted quickly from one quarter to another of the darkened living room and the still more dark bedchamber. And yet apparently all that had roused him was the drowsy whistle of a whippoorwill. Then, with no other presage, a shadow flitted past one of the side windows, and in another reappeared more substantially on the veranda. Sum Fat grew altogether tense, his gaze fixed and exclusively focused upon that apparition. Cautiously, noiselessly, edging Inch by Inch across the veranda, the man iched the door. It was open. A long minute elapsed. Even Sam held bis breath throughout that lnable reconnoissance. At length, reassured, the man slipped into the room. Another minute: no 'sound detectable more untoward than that of steady respiration in the bedroom; with a movement as swift and sinister as the swoop of a vulture, the man sprang toward the bedroom door. Leaping from a sitting position, with a bound that was little less than a flight through the air, the Chinaman caught him halfway. There followed a shriek, a heavy fall that shook the bungalow, the report of a revolver, sounds of scuffling . . . Whitaker, half dazed, found himself standing in the doorway, regardless of bis injury. He saw, as one who dreams and yet Is conadow tlstt he does but dream. Ember lighting candles—calmly applying the flame of a taper to one after another as ho made a round of the fence*, Sum Fat was kneeling on all para, above something that breathed heavily and straggled without avail. Whttaker*s steep-numbed faculties For an Instant his captive seemed reluctant to rise. Ember moved to his side and stood over him, balancing the revolver in his palm. "Come," he said impatiently. "Up with you!" The man sat up as if galvanized by fear, got more slowly to his knees, then, grasping the edge of the table, dragged himself laboriously to a standing position. Whitaker's Jaw dropped and his eyes widened with wonder and pity. He couldn't deny the man, yet he found It hard to believe that this quivering, shaken creature, with his lean and pasty face and desperate, glaring eyes, this man in rough, stained, soiled and shapeless garments, could be identical with the well-set-up, prosperous and confident man of affairs he remembered as Drummond.

Without comment, Whitaker, unable to stand any longer without discomfort hobbled to a chair and sat down.

"Welir Ember nodded toward Whitaker. "Ask him," he said briefly. Whitaker shook his head. It was difficult to think how to deal with this trapped animal, so wildly different from the cultivated gentleman he always had In mind when he thought of Drummond. The futility of attempting to deal with him according to any code recognized by men of honor was wretchedly apparent "Drummond," he said slowly, "I wish to God yon hadn't done this thing."

"He's not to be trusted or reasoned with. He's Just short of a raving morphomaiiittc, or I miss my guess." With a quick movement he caught Drummond's left arm, pulled the sleeve of his coat back to the elbow, unbuttoned and turned buck his cuff. "Hmm—yes," he continued, bending over to Inspect the exposed forearm, in spite of Drummond's efforts to twist away. "Deadly work of the busy little needle. Good Lord, he's fuirly riddled with punctures!" "That explains . . ." Whitaker muttered, sickened. "It explains a lot," Ember readjusted the sleeve and turned away. "And it shows us our path of duty, clear," Ue continued, despite interruptions from the maddened drug fiend. "I think a nice little sojourn in a sanatorium— what?" "Right," Whitaker agreed, relieved. "We'll see what a cure does for him before we Indulge In criminal proceedings— shall we?" "By all means." "Good." Ember glanced at his watch.

"Unless what?" Ember Jerked his head to indicate the prisoner. "Of course, this isn't by any chance the fellow you mixed it up with over on the beach—and so forth?" "Nothing like him." "Queer.

After listening to this, daughter went to grandma and said to her: "You must have had an awfully easy time when mamma was growing up. She stayed at home almost all the time, and helped you with the cooking, milking, washing and other work." Then said grandma: "She helped me with the work? I'd like to know when she helped me.

A mother whose son was sentenced to the Marion county workhouse recently from Juvenile court, entered court a few days ago, and said that she wished to speak to Judge Frank J. Lahr in regard to her son, says the Indianapolis News. "Judge," said the woman, "1 was out at the workhouse yesterday, and my boy tells roe he is not getting enough to eat. I think something ought to be done about it" Judge Lahr assured the woman that the son's assertion could not be true, but when she Insisted, he called the superintendent by telephone and inquired. "Hold the phone a minute," said the superintendent "and Til look him np." "Hello, judge." finally came back over the wire, "that man is working as a cook, and is sick today from eat* ing too much at his work." Cause for Alarm. "My nephew, Virgil Pucker, had been sick for quite awhile," related old Riley Bezzidew. "and as soon as be was able to totter around In the house he wabbled out into the kitchen. Presently we heard a thud, and ran there to find him senseless on the floor.

FIRST BILL ROBERTS-DE LAND People of Michigan Are Enthusiastic "Over the Good Road Movement— Many Other Items of Interest. (BY. W. L. CALNON.) Lansing, Mich.—With all details and formalities connected with the opening the forty-ninth session of the legislature disposed of, the senate and house now have under way the actual work that will continue, it is thought, for the next four months. Introduction of bills, which began with the opening day ceremonies in the senate, ia continuing in the house at present and furnishlrxg the committees with material to start their deliberations. The first bill of the session was the Roberts-DeLand bill, introduced in the senate, to create a budget commission. The latter body is to be made up, according to the bill, of the governor, the auditor general and a $5,000 a year budget commissioner to be named by the governor. The idea ia to have all state institutions submit by October 1 every other year a statement of their needs in the appropriation line, and for all persons having claims against the state to file them with the auditor general by the same date. The budget commissioner then is to compile everything needed In connection with the budget and the governor is to submit It at the opening of each regular session. Most interest at thlt time lies in the bills that are forthcoming on the prohibition issue and which will carry into effect the constitutional amendment adopted by the people of the state last November for statewide prohibition. Some members of each house are rather perturbed over the question as to whether or not the people's vote meant stringent prohibition or just the abolition of the saloon. But from the talk heard about the capitol corridors It would seem the bulk of the dry members are of the opinion that when Michigan voted for prohibition last fall, it meant real, bone-dry prohibition. Unless the open sentiment so expressed undergoes a considerable change in the course of the next month, the bone-dry contingent will have its way in whatever laws are enacted before the session closes. The fact that both retiring Governor Ferris and incoming Governor Sleeper impressed in their messages to the legislature the necessity of continuing the upbuilding process In the conduct of state prisons and other institutions, especially those dealing with youthful defectives, has caused much talk among the members of the legislature concerning bills to carry out the ideas of the two executives. It is only a few years ago that Michigan legislators began to be informed that their state institutions were anywhere from ten to twenty-five years behind the times in their methods and management. Now they are gratified to be told that much has been accomplished in bringing Michigan up to the highest standard and there is little doubt but that the continuance of the constructive, forward institutional work will meet with thorough approval in this legislature. Governor Sleeper, in his message to the legislature, urged caution in the enacting of legislation, in order that the will of the people be carried out properly. Fewer laws and better quality laws were advocated by him. His attitude In regard to the prohibition laws was expressed b7 him in this one sentence: "The prohibition amendment adopted by a large vote at our recent election demands the enactment of stringent, but sensible lawB to make the will of the people effective." The governor declared for a public service commission of five men to replace the present state railroad commission. Other points of general interest in his message included the following excerpts: "The development of oar public highways is proceeding rapidly and ef. elently. If defects exist in the socalled Covert Act, passed by the last legislature, steps should be taken to remedy tt and make it Immediately effeettre. The large nnmber of petitions tblf act shows the great fir i t The upkeep of o v highways, especially thoee bnttt with state aid, ia a matter which doos M i the consideration It deserves. waste of public moaejri to alluaJtle roads to Instance*) when but a small expense is needed to maintain them. They must be kept up and if the local communities will not give them the required care, the state should be permitted to do BO and to charge the expense back to the neglectful districts up to the amount of state aid received. "Every effort should be made to develop our unsettled lands. It should be made easy for farmers with Bmall capital to obtain and develop the untold agricultural wealth in our northern state lands. A series of trunk line roads running through this region connected with the highways in the more settled parts should be constructed at once under state supervision and with state aid as an important, factor in accomplishing this much desired development. "The drainage of swamp 'ands is very important to us. I urfc^ legislation similar to the Covert act, by which the district benefited can carry the burden of the improvement for a number of years, paying the obligation serially. "Greater agricultural efficiency is necessary. We should, in fact, make forty acres produce as much as eighty does now. Our soil is a natural resource which should be conserved like any other asset. This can only be accomplished by returning to it, the elements of fertility to replace thos^1 which are exhausted by our harvests. "The future of this nation depends upon its farmers. Europe long ago learned the lesson that in the scientific cultivation of her soil—in scientific agricultural instruction—rested her future prosperity. The marvelous ability of Germany to fe«d herseif during the past two years of terrible war is the result of a half century of scientific agricultural education. France, the great producer nation of the world, has thousands of agricultural schools. "The establishment of agricultural schools similar to our district normal schools will do much to build up our farming districts and to help reduce the high cost of living in the manufacturing centers. "During the past few years our cities have been very prosperous, but crop failures and unusual seasons have prevented the rural districts from I getting the full share of this prosperi- \ ty, You must bear in mind this con- I dition when making all appropriations. Texas must not be a burden to these ! people. Economy must ever be con- J sidered by you. Special approprlai tlons must be reduced to the lowest possible limits. The poor man's little is even more important to him than is the rich man's much.' ' Former Governor Ferris, in his ex- ! augural address, also impressed on the legislature the necessity of good roads and of soil and other resources being conserved. On these points lie said in part: ! "I am in full sympathy with the work that is being done by the Public Domain commission. Re-foresting the non-agricultural lands and protecting growing timber from fire, constitutes i a part of the great work of this coml mission. The plan of this commission I for encouraging the settlement of the good agricultural lands by actual home seekers and the prevention, so far as possible, of the settlement of these lands which are not suitable for agricultural purposes, is imperative. I recommend that a continuous appropriation be made so that the splendid work of this commission may be protected and carried to a successful conclusion. "The state geologist says that fully 40 per cent of the land area of this state is agriculturally unoccupied. Of this amount, approximately 9,000,000 acres of good agricultural land is now, or soon will be, available for settlement. Much has been done and is being done by co-operative effort in the development and settlement of these lands." Governor Ferris denounced crooked land dealers operating in other states who have injured Michigan by obtaining possession of worthless lands in the. barren areas and selling them to unsuspecting buyers outside tlje state as good farm land. He added: "It in the future the state is going to exert any important directive influence in the settlement and development of its unoccupied lands it goes without saying that it should acquire adequate *nd accurate information concerning them. It should know how much unoccupied land there is, where It is, how much is good, how much is fair, how much poor and how mfceu agriculturally worthless. "It should know how much is now available for [settlement and how much of the timbered a n a will eventually make farms. Of the swamp areas it should know how much can be drained, and how Brack would be fit tor M W •••JBBaj^PB; taton—lion ia not party h«t by wtththeaa be by In amy This •f tfcavatato wnich contain the unoccupied kinds. A scientific soil survey means a greater and better Michigan. I recommend to your favorable consideration immediate action along this line. "All the citizens of Michigan are enthusiastic over good roads. In the past ten years a little less than a revolution has taken place in the attitude of our taxpayers. While they sometimes find fault with the total amount of taxes they have to pay, they rarely complain of taxes that contribute to the building of good roads. Now that the Federal Aid Road Law, which was paased by the last congress, will bring to<Michigan during the next five years |2,186,7B6, which must be matched dollar for dollar by the state, this movement must Inevitably go forward. "No one thing Is more important for the further progress of our citie* and especially for the further progress of our farming communities than good roads. Even our schools and churches depend for their success in no small degree upon good roads. I bespeak for this important feature liberal provisions and the kind of legislation- that will promote rather than retard this great movement." Lieut. Gov. Sleeper, in his inaugural address to the senate, discussed var ious matters to come before the legislature, particularly the prohibition leg* islation, concerning which he said in part: "By a very emphatic majority the electors have voted the state dry and they expect it to be dry, and the machinery through which this is to be accomplished must be created by the legislature of the state. In all probability your acts and votes on this question will be watched closer than on any if not all other questions during the session. This interest ia not confined to Michigan alone. Interests are as actively engaged in the abolition of the American saloon in other states and for a dry nation as they are in Michigan and for this refton they will watch with deep interest every action you may take. "D*iroit is the largest city in all the world's history ever voted dry. Because of this, in all probability, Michigan's near future on this line will be watched with keener interest than has been that of any other commonwealth ever voted dry. The nation at large and other states with large cities in them will schedule their future acta largely by the ability of this legislature to enact laws that will effectively enforce this edict of the people of Michigan. "You have not only a stat*. but a national problem to deal with. It calls for the most serfbus consideration. The best experience of other states should be critically sought for. The best legal talent should be enlisted. And out of what must necessarily be prolonged and careful deliberation should come an act, sane, sensible and in accord with present advanced public sentiment on this question and with the proper machinery for effectively enforcing the emphasized expression of the people of the state at the November election." The house, following the election of Wayne R. Rice, of White Cloud, Newaygo county, as speaker, elected th9 following other officers: Lynn J. L^wis, of Van Buren county, speaker pro tern.; Charles S. Pierce, of Lansing, clerk; Harry J. Mc- Grant, of Detroit, sergeant at arma; and 'ra Ormsbee, of Geneve county, postmaster. The senate elected Senator J. Lee Morford, of Gaylord, president pro tern.; Dennis Alward, of Clare, secretary; William T. Shaw, of Laneing, sergeant at arms, and D. B. Dickinson, of Eaton county, assistant postmaster. Following the session's opening Speaker Rice announced that he would need some time to complete the list of house committees. Those in the senate, a smaller body, were announced shortly after the session began by Lieut. Gov. Dickinson.

Engineers Propose to Build Revetments at Grand Haven, St. Joe and Ludington. Detroit—The Thirty-first regiment of Detroit arrived home from the Mexican border and as they stepped from their special trains were given a glorious welcome by relatives and loved ones. The troops were met by Mayor Marx's special reception committee and informed that an soon as the mustering out was complete, the city planned to give the boya a real reception. The three sections arrived close together. Except for a few minor accidents and hold-ups, the long ride was uneventful. The first section hart with it a small menagerie of mascots There were seven burros, which is an alleged equine animal slightly larger than a jack rabbit, 17 Chihuahua dogs, by actual sensus, all dripping wet, shivering and on the verge of baying .for more food, a few game chickens, and other samples of the fauns and flora of southwest United States of America. The route home was via El Paso & Southwestern and the Rock Island railroads to Kansas City, the Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul to Chicago, anl the Michigan Central on the home stretch. Once on the last leg, the boys could scarcely wait until they hit the Michigan line. There they arose and gave three cheers. It will be close to three weeks before the Thirty-first Michigan regiment which arrived home from the border and now is at Fort Wayne, is mustered out according to the determination of the council held at the call of General Kirk. It is necessary to examine the men for pensional defects before they are released and this examination will be made at the rate of 100 a day. There is also considerable checking to be done to ascertain the pay and other allowances due each man. The clothing allowance is 26 cents a day and If this allowance has not been used up It will be paid to each soldier in cash. Colonel Walter G.

Alstaetter of the Grand Rapids district. The harbors which will have revetments built according to the latest designs are Grand Haven, St. Joseph and Ludington. At the Grand Haven harbor 700 feet on the inner end of the north revetment will be rebuilt. This will cost $46,000. Plans for the rebuilding of 675 feet of the inner end of the north revetment at St. Joseph have already been approved at Washington. This will cost $24,000. Plana have been completed for the rebuild. ing of 600 feet of the inner end of the north revetment of the Ludington harbor. The specifications for this job will be sent to Washington in a few days. This will cost $40,500. All the revetments will be rebuilt with sheet piling and round pile foundations and reinforced concrete superstructures. Crushed stone ballast will be used.

EXTRA SESSION NOT WANTED Num&«r of Billa Introduced This Winter 1« Much Smaller Than Usual— Many of Them Deal With Cost of Living. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—Congress' New Year's resolution is said to be to put through the two or three measures of prime importance and with them the equally primely Important appropriation bills, and to be content with t h a t and thus, so far as human foresight can compass it, make it certain that the president will not be compelled to call an extrti seaaion of congress in the spring, a session which would begin probably with'a terrific fight between Republicans and Democrats for the control and organisation of the house of representatives. Recent records have^been broken In congress lately. The number of bills which 1-nve been introduced since the session opened the first Monday in December has been smaller than during anf like period in the last 20 years. It is true that some lawmakers have Introduced measures for which they hate no hope of passage at present, but about which the* hope public opinion will crystallize later. The number of these bills, however, is small, acd so, barring the ordinary pension blllP, comparatively few things of national tfioment have been presented to either tamse for present or future cDnsiderfiCon. Of course this does net take account of the ra!lf<*ad legislation in its varied forms wtlich the president made the main feature of his message to congress, nor does it take account of some other hlgVy important things which sooner or ftter must be given consideration bj the national legislators. The simple fart is that the number of bills is much, v^ry m w h smaller than Is usually th* case. May Vote on Big Questions. It is prcbable '.hat before congress dies on Mrtrch 4 the question of submitting to the spates the federal constitutional amendment establishing prohibition will be voted on by congress. Thrro Is a struggle on already between the opposing forces Interested in this mens'ire. The federal suffrage amenO'dent also will be given consideration. Senator William H. Thompson of Kansas is only one of n number of senators fnd members to introduce bills for <he <.lection of president and vice president by a direct vote of the people. Senator John F. Shafroth of Colorado has introduced a bill to the same general effect which, however, w-ould work a complete change in the method of selecting the president and the vice president His bill stipulates that the two officials shall be chosen without the intervention In any way of the electoral college, and it provides for a term of six years for the president and for his ineligibility for re-election forever thereafter. Othir Bills of Interest. Congress has in its keeping a bill, which pressure of time may or may not prevent from receiving consideration, to admit free of import charges all wheat which is brought into the United States for seed purposes. The word which has gone to the legislators with this measure Is that the farmers particularly, and the public generally to a considerable extent will be deeply interested in the fate of the measure. It was offered by Representative Halvor Steenerson of Minnesota, It is said that this bill was Introduced as the result of a suggestion made by a single farmer of the great Northwest who received seed from South American and European countries. It was sent him in part simply for experimental purposes, but in another part, it is said, for use under a well-based belief that the growth results would be most satisfactory. Rural mail carriers will be interested In a bill introduced by Senator J. Gronna of North * Dakota who has asked congress to legislate so that the rural route men shall in no case receive less than $1*200 a year, and that Mtuction of this pay shall be possible. Bill for Psstal Employees, tative Martin B. Madden of nilnoU also has put in a bill which looks to the gratification of post office clerks and carriers in first and secondclass post offices. B e wishes to have clerks and carriers divided into stx rtsisei with salaries ranging from fUXX) to $1£00. The understanding ta now that the highest pay that a clerk can get is $1*200, while the minimum pay ts said to be considerably below the first sum named i s Mr. Madden** Confederate soldiers may be pensioned. If this meusure had been Introduced twenty-flve or thirty years ago It probably would have aroused expressions of resentment from a lurge pari of the country. The bill proposes a continuing appropriation of $o.(XM>.U00 a year for fifteen years, which equals the urnount of the cotton tax levied ujpon the cotton-growing states after the Civil war. The money would be used to pension aged and infirm Confederate soldiers and the widows of Confederate soldiers. For Monument to Maury. It is interesting to note lu this connection that a bill which has a good deal of northern support has just been introduced to erect a monument in the city of Washington to Matthew Fountain Maury, one time commodore in the United States navy, and later a ranking officer In the Confederate navy. Commodore Maury was a student of ocean currents. He charted the Gulf stream and contributed an Immense amount ~ of oceunographic knowledge to the world. Our Santo Domingo Fuss. Santo Domingo, a small country, Is looming large just now in the field of Washington Interests and anxieties. Virtually the United States Is at war with Santo Domingo. There are several hundred United States marines in the little republic which has been put under martial law by Uncle Sam. Word which has come from the state department recently makes it appear that the United States hereafter may consider the necessity of taking a hand In affairs in Europe, especially in regard to the safeguarding of the rights of small nations. Some students of International relations hold that if the United States does this it means that the countries of Europe may one day feel they have a perfect right to ta*e a hand in affairs on this side of the water and that therefore the Monroe Doctrine must go by the board. This is a matter admittedly only for speculation, and for future developments to prove one way or the other, but there is intense interest and some apprehension among the lawmakers today because the Dominican government has protested to the powers of Europe against Uncle Sam's action In placing that country under martial law. May Cause Complications. It is not to be supposed for an instant, of course, as the officials here view it, that the big European governments which have been appealed to by Santo Domingo will do anything In the matter, or certainly not at present because their hands are exceedingly full with deadly troubles of their own. The protest, however, has gone on record, and as some of the lookers into the future here see the thing, it possibly eventually may develop complications for this government. Haiti and Santo Domingo have been prickly-pear points to Uncle Sam for a long time. The government has a treaty with Haiti which allows Uncte Sam to collect not only the customs of that country, but Its Internal taxes as well, and to look after their disbursement. It seems likely that In order to bring about complete order In Santo Domingo some like arrangement must be made with that country. Already the United States Is collecting customs of the Dominican Republic, but it is not collecting Its Internal taxes. The most recent trouble with Santo Domingo came because the various elements down there, led by different men, attempted each in its own behalf to take the internal revenues and to spend them for personal selfish ourposes. The result was such an Internal row that the United States had to step in, and as a matter of fact we are In a mild way at war with Santo Domingo today, although it Is not called war. Promised Their Debts Should Be Paid. During the Roosevelt administration England, France and Germany, to all of whom Santo Domingo owed money which it would not pay, asked the United States to assume with them a joint control over the revenues of the little republic' President Roosevelt could not entertain such a proposition because in a way it was a violation of the Monroe Doctrine, although not literally so. The American administration made an arrangement by which the United States government was pledged to maintain the payments on the Dominican debt So it is that we have been collecting revenue down there and paying off the republic's debt as well as we could. The internal revenues were left to the Dominican government Itself. As soon as it was found out that there was money for the Dominican government in the internal taxes of the country, four or five governments sprang up, each one willing to fight the other for the spoils. This led to virtual intervention on the part of the present administration. Of course, the United States win maintain control in Santo Domingo and bring about order, but the fact that this Utile bit of a republic that really U aot a reesrtjBc at all, has protested to the powers of Rnrope against the i United States, may t r i s c t f o s b t s i s m to the fntsa*, RUSSIANS DRIVE TEUTON ARMY BACK PUT UP DESPERATE FIGHT TO SAVE SERETH RIVER L I N E , BREAK TEUTON FRONT A T ONE POINT. GREECE TO ATTACK ALLIES The Greek Royal Army Is Only Awaits irtg the Word of Germany's Ruler to Attack Allies in Athens. London—The Russian forces in Central Rumania took the offensive along a IB-mile front southwest of the Sereth and threw the Teutons back at several points. The counter-attack, which was launched on a line running from Fossani south to Fundeni, midway between Buk:eu and Ramnicu- Sarat, succeeded in piercing the German front near Obilechti, Berlin admits. Substantial gaina are claimed by Petrograd, which states that Falkenhayn's troops were driven back beyond the line of Raspitza lake, southeast of Ramicu-Sarat. The Russians suffered heavy losses, according to Berlin. Greek Army Awaiting Orders. Paris—"The Greek Royal army ia only awaiting orders from Germany to attack the Allies," said M. Diomede, former Greek misister of finance, to the Temps. M. Diamede is in Paris on a special mission for Eliptherios Venielos, the former premier and head of the provisional Greek government. "The Greek general staff," added M. Diomede, "from the outset of the war, constantly was directed by Major Von Falkenhausen, the milt tary attache of the German legation. His orders the royal army has been carrying out since he was expelled from the country. It wag he who established the plan of the distribution of artillery munitions, so as to conceal them more easily from the Allies. "It was he who assured communications between Athens and Berlin and furnished the German general staff with information concerning the movements of General Sarrail's ar. my, supplied to him by the Greek staff. It was he who organized the telephone line between Athens and Berat by which the king is still in daily communication with the German government. It was he who organized the plan for the mobilization of the reservists. "No more than four thousand troops thus far have been sent to Peloponnesus, while the king now has in hand 45,000 men. With the reservists, as organized by M. Falkenhausen, he can raise an army of 75,000." FORMER WARDEN PAY RAISED Has Received $7,500 Since August 15, 1915, Fuller Now Powerless to Keep Salary Down. Lansing—Nathan F. Simpson, former warden of Jackson prison, who retired in December, received a salary of $7,500 a year since Aug. 15, 1915, although it was generally believed that he was getting only $6,000 until this week. Simpson's request for an increase from $5,000 to $7,500 was approved by former Gov. Ferris and former State Treasurer Haarer, but the increase was held up by Auditor General Fuller. Mr. Fuller was powerless to pre- • e n t the board of control from granting the request because Jackson prison is self-sustaining t u t he says he win bring up tb« issue the first time the hoard of control asks for funds. The fact that the board of control had authorized the transfer became known whe*n Mr. Fuller's auditors checked up the books after their transfer to Warden Disque.

The Nenana coal field, Alaska, will be tributary to the government railroad now under construction from Seward to Fairbanks. Though the coal of this field is Ignite and hence of low grade, yet It has great value as a source of fuel and power for Fairbanks and other Yukon placer camps. The field Is about sixty miles south of Fairbanks. It Is estimated by the United States geological survey, department of the interior, that the Nenana field contains some ten billion tons of lignite. The Nenana coal field lies in what is known as the Bonnifield region, which also contains some gold placers that have been mined In a small way for the last ten years.

IMPOSSIBLE TO ATTAIN PEACE YET Look back at your childhood days- Remember the "doae" 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 deli* clous "California Syrup of Figs." Its action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless "fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take it; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomorrow. Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on each bottle. Adv. CANT GET BEAR OUT OF CAGE Newly Arrived Bruin Presents Problem to the Attendants at Brooklyn Zoo. How to get Brooklyn's new bear out of the cage that he came here in is one of the problems thut is confronting the Prospect purk zoo authorities, according to the Eagle of that city. "The case is so strong that It looks as if nothing less powerful than dynamite would open It," one officer explained. "It is made of very heavy planks, spikes, together with shipbuilders' spikes. The cuge WHS built by the same men who make Norwegian sailing vessels, the most durable in the world." The difficulty of getting Bruin out of the box led to a question as to how the Norwegians, who sent him, managed to get him in. The only hole in the cage Is barely big enough to let him get his nose out. "I guess they must have tied his feet, or wrapped him up in a net nud then built the cage around him," one of tho tall Scandinavians on the Christiaulufjord said. re- Regrets Inevitable.

NOTE RECEIVED BY PRESIDENT •Will Not Make Known Objects of War at This Time, Though a General Statement of Their Probable Demands Is Made—Germany's Position. . . " * -v. , Washington.—Following is the translation of the entente allies' reply to jPresident Wilson's peace note, transjmitted to the state department by Ambassador William G. Sharp In Paris: ! "Ambassador Sharp to the Secretary of State. American Embassy, Pari*, Jan. 10, 1017. "The allied governments have received the note which was delivered to them in the name of the government of the United States on the 19th of December, 1916. They have studied it with the care Imposed upon them both by the exact realization which they have of the gravity of the hour and by the sincere friendship which attaches them to the American people. "In a general way they wish to declare that they pay tribute to the elevation of the sentiment with which the American note is inspired and that they associate themselves with all their hopes with the project for the 'creation of a league of nations to insure peace and justice throughout the >vorld. "They recognise all the advantages for the cause o| humanity and civilisation which the Institution of international agreements destined to avoid •violent conflicts between nations would prevent, agreements which must imply the sanctions necessary to insure their execution and thus to prevent an apparent security from only facilitating new aggressions. "But a discussion of future arrangements destined to insure an enduring peace presupposes a satisfactory settlement of the actual conflict. "The allies have as profound a desire as the government of the United States to terminate as soon as possible a war for which the central empires are responsible and which inflicts such cruel sufferings upon humanity. Not Time for Peace. "But they believe that It is impossible at the present moment to attain a peace which will assure them reparation, restitution, and such guaranties to which they are entitled by the aggression for which the responsibility rests with the central powers and of which the principle itself tended to ruin the security of Europe; a peace which would, on the other hand, permit the establishment of the future of European nations on a solid basis. "The allied nations are conscious that they are not fighting for selfish Interests, but above all to safeguard the independence of peoples, or right, and of humanity. "The allies are fully aware of the losses and suffering which the war has caused to neutrals as well as to belligerents, and they deplore them; but they do not hold themselves responsible for them, having in no way either willed or provoked this war, and they strive to reduce these damages In the measure compatible with the inexorable exigencies of their defense against the violence and the wiles of the enemy. "The allied governments believe that they must protest in the most friendly but in the most specific manner against the assimilation established In the American note between the two groups of belligerents; this assimilation, based upon public declarations by the central powers, is in direct opposition to the evidence, both as regards responsibility for the past and as concerns guaranties for the future; President Wilson In mentioning It certainly had no Intention of associating himself with It "If there Is a historical fact established at the present date, It Is the will' fnl aggression of Germany and Austria- Hungary to insure their hegemony over Europe and their economic domination over the world, "Germany proved by her declaration of war, by the immediate violation of Belgium and Luxemburg, and by tier manner of conducting the war, her systematic contempt for all principles ot humanity and all respect for small states*, as the conflict developed the attitude of the central powers and their allies has been a continual defiance of humanity and civilisation.

"The execution of such a aeries of crimes perpetrated wlthaut any regard for universal reprobation fully explains to President Wilson the protest of the allies. "President Wilson desires more: He desires that the belligerent powers openly affirm the objects which they seek by continuing the war; the allies experience no difficulty in replying to this request "Their objects in the war are well known; they have been formulated on many occasions by the chiefs of their divers governments. Their objecta in the war will not be made known in detail, with all the equitable compensations and indemnities for damage suffered, until the hour of negotiations. Their Terms Stated. "But the civilized world knows that they imply in all necessity and in the first instance the restoration of Belgium, of Serbia, and of Montenegro and the indemnities which are due them; the evacuation of the invaded territories of France, of Russia, and to good, |8.60@9; yearlings, $10g? of Roumania, with just reparation rf*10,50; best handy steers, |8.§0#9.2o; the reorganisation of Europe guaran--,^ light butcher steers, S7®7.50; best teed by a stable regime and founded as much upon respect of nationalities and full security and liberty of economic development which all nations, great or small, possess, as upon territorial conventions and International agreements suitable to guarantee territorial and maritime frontiers against unjustified attacks; the restitution of provinces or territories wrested in the past from the allies by force or against the will of their populations; the liberation of Italians, of Slavs, of Roumanians, and of Tcheco Slovaques (Caeca Slavs) from foreign domination; the enfranchisement of populations subject to the bloody tyranny of the Turks; the expulsion from Europe of the Ottoman empire decidedly . . . (apparent omission) to western civilisation. "The Intentions of his majesty the emperor of Russia regarding Poland liave been clearly Indicated in the proclamation which he has Just addressed to his armies. "It goes without saying that If the allies wish to liberate Europe from the brutal covetousneas of Prussian militarism it never has been their design, as has been alleged, to encompass the extermination of the German peoples and their political disappearance. "That which they desire above all is to Insure a peace upon the principles of liberty and Justice, upon the Inviolable fidelity to international obligations with which the government of the United States has never ceased to be inspired. "United In the pursuits of this supreme object, the allies are determine* individually and collectively, to act with all their power and to consent to all sacrifices to brmg to a victorious close a conflict upon which they are convinced not only safety and prosperity depends but also the future civilization itself.

Washington.—Congress dares one day and does not dare the next The majority gets its courage screwed up apparently to the sticking point and then something comes to make It recede rapidly. Congress wants to pass the omnibus buildings bill while the president, It is said, does not want It to pass, and one day it makes up Its mind to pass It and the next day it changes its mind. Years ago the name "pork" was given to each cf two measures which come yearly before congress, the public buildings Dill and the rivers and harbors bill. It Li needless, of course, to say that many of the buildings for whose erection provisions have been made, and many of the rivers and harbors for whose improvement money litis been vcted, have been necessary itsr the good of the country. The charge, however, from both Democrats and Republicans all over the United States Is that proper discrimination Is not made by congress between the good and bad propositions contained in these measures. The friends of such legislation always spring to Its defense. The row has been going on for years. It has been pretty well understood this year that President Wilson does not want his party in congress to pass the public buildings bill as it is at present written. It calls for $38,000,(X)U for the erection of federal buildings In different parts of the country. The necessity of economy is urged by some members of both parties in house and senate as a reason for withholding consideration from the bill ns it has been presented. Its proponents declare that every item In the bill Is Justifiable. The struggle Is on. If the bill passes it is said that the president stands ready to veto it, but this, of course, Is a matter for future consideration. 417 Projects In Bill. The total number of projects provided for In the measure Is 417 with authorizations amounting to $38,794,- 700. Public buildings and their construction are under the control of the treasury department, the secretary of which In his estimates nsks for authorizations of money for building purposes. In the present public buildiug bill the names of 61 towns an3 villages appear of which the treasury department made no mention In Its report In other words, congress, acting on Its own behalf, has gone far beyond the estimates submitted by Secretary McAdoo. The officials of the government this year have said that nearly one-fourth of the entire building appropriation Is needless, tnwlse and extravagant. On the other hand, the members of congress who lesire that these buildings shall be erected say that It Is due to the people of the smaller towns In the country that Uncle Saiu should be represented throughout the land by proper buildings and by adequate facilities for all hi/i purposes and that If the building Is too big the needs of the places will grow to meet it. The basis of the argument really is, however, that as all the people are taxed for all the federal buildings that the smaller places should be given recognition and that Uncle Sam loses nothing by keeping his nephews and nieces satisfied. Want Parks Made Accessible. A conference has just dosed in Washington which brought together a surpassingly Interesting group of men and women. It was the National-Parks conference. There are many congresses or conferences, catt them what you will, in Washington every year, but perhaps more than all the others there attacbes to the National Parks Conference what may be culled the Higher human interest. The object of this ttmference Is to Influence public opinion In favor of national parks, and to i r g e the necessary legislation to make The parks accessible to the people of •he ; country, to maintain them in -ill their original beauty and granteor and to endeavor to find ways And means to secure an "economic hospfaUity" within their limits for Americana wbA ar*» not bteMseO with great tfebea.

A Ichk ordinarily is understood to be a sma'l thing, but the recent leak In this capital city actuuily Inundated the town with excitement. The charge that somebody in advance of the president's peace note told stock speculators that It was to be expected, has beeu exploited pretty thoroughly in'the press. Washington is a gossipy place, and within 24 hours stories were afloat iliat this man or that man, the names being given was responsible for giving away the administration's secrets and for making some millions in Wall street for one set of speculators and losiug thein for another. In the Semite of the United States the chuiroiMi of the committee on foreign relations suld flatly that he believed that trie Jerk had come from the state department and he intimated that he thought It came from employees holding high and confidential positions. This statement of Senator Stone sel the gosslos' tongues wagging once more, but it relieved the anxieties of certain Innocent persons not in the state department whom scandal-loving Washington vhad charged by word of mouth from onr» person to another with being responsible for the betrayal of state secrets. It is criminal for one charged with news gathering to Jump at conclusions j in this town. Men gossip sud women! gossip, and you can hear anything that; you want to.or do not want to about I this man or that man, and eve*i about\ this woman or that woman, *ud the more promirent In official or set la I life the person Is the more certatu it U that things that ought not to be sale* will be sat<\ "Women cf Middle ?(ge Many distressing Ailments experienced by them are Alleviated by Ly dia E.

I was in a very nervous condition, with headaches and pain a good deal of the time so I was unfit to do my work. A friend asked me to try Lydia E. Pmkham's Vegetable Compound, which I did, and it has helped me in every way. I am not nearly so nervous, no headache or pain. I must say that Lydia E.

North Haven, Conn.—** When I was 46 I had the CSiange of Life which is a trouble all women have. At first it didn't bother me but after a while I got bearing down pains. I called in doctors who told me to try different things but they did not care my pains. One day my husband came home and said. * Whv don't you try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Sanative Wish?* Well, I got them and took about 10 bottles of Vegetable Compound and could feel myself regaining my health. I also used Lydia E. PinkhanVs Sanative Wash and it has done me a great deal of good. Any one coming to my house who suffers from female troubles or Change of IdfeTr tell them to take the Pinkham remedies.

The Kolnische Zeltung amuses its readers by a little story of two German aviators, flying from their base ut Vormi, who came clown nt the little town of Mungnlla in the Dobrujn. So pleased were the natives to see the two aviators thut they gave th«D a pig each. The question nrose how to transport the "costly gifts" to the base. The problem was solved by making room In the body of the airplane, nnd the quartette flew away for Varna. Apparently the pigs felt quite at home, for the Kolnische Zeitung says the four enjoyed the trip.—Loudon Chronicle. She Simply Couldn't Refuse.

K.'S APPOINTEES * • • " • P * Home at Grand Rapids Aaks S?*A00O a Year for Maintenance. (By W. U CALNON.) Lansing—Township affairs throughout the state, and the methods of township government, bid fair to occupy much of the limelight during the 1917 session of the legislature, judging by the bills pouring into both the senate and house since the two completed organization. Half a dozen important proposals affecting townships are already in committee for consideration, and others are In course of preparation by various members. Rep. Patrick O'Brien, of Iron River, would like to make a drastic change by amending the constitution so that township highway commissioners no longer would be elected, but would be appointed by the township trustees. His idea is to get greater efficiency in road work by having only experienced men employed, who would have to work in connection with plans prepared by the county surveyors. Rep. O'Brien thinks that in this way the whole good roads movement would be systematized in the counties, under the general direction of the surveyor, Juat as the county work is systematized under the general direction of the state highway commissioner. Tt Is hard to tell here whether the 1,300 or more township highway commissioners in the state will agree with Mr. O'Brien, but the latter intends to find out if the legislature will agree to submit tbe matter to a vote. The Iron River legislator also would like to have township tax assessments published Just before the boards of review start work on th»m. He would make it impossible for any assessments to be changed after such publication, except by direct, open action of the board of review. At present, he contends, the assessments get altered sometimes when the taxpayer isn't looking and he doesn't know it until he comes to pay his taxes. Then he can kick until he loses his voice without its doing him any good, says "Pat." Rep, Hulse, of Clinton county, has Introduced a bill putting all village presidents and trustees on salaries of not to exceed $25 a year each. They would be paid one dollar each for each meeting they actually attended, but if more than 25 meetings were held in any one year the payments would stop when the $25 limit was reached. Senator Covert, of Oakland county, has presented a resolution to amend the constitution by electing all township officers to two year terms instead of one year terms. He contends that greater efficiency could be obtained troit, wants to give townships the option of keeping the polls open In primary elections until 8 p. m., instead of their being forced to close them at 6 p. m . The high cost of living is under fire, as was expected. Senator Tripp, of Allegan, has asked for a committee of both houses to inquire Into the reasons for the shortage of coal and the high prices for what is obtained. Senator Koehler is asking for a resolution informing the Michigan delegation in congress that an embargo should be placed on the shipment of food stuffs and fuel supplies out of tbe country in order to drive prices down here. And Rep. Stevenson has put in a bill to prevent the killing of bulls under two years of age, cows under four years of age and sheep under one year of age. He believer that if this bill becomes law it would furnish the market with more hides. Bilk and wool, even if ft did take veal and baby lamb dishes off the menu. Rap. Merlin Wiley has Introduced a %& ealltag for the transforming of t!x# etate railroad commission into a XpaUt jWHtlaa commission. Tbe bin jial change in the com rnra, bet would raise the baa put In a bill that calls tor a state reward of $900 a mile for screened gravel roads that are 20 feet in width, and $100 a mile extra for each added foot of width. Rep. Weils has introduced a bill providing penalties of 15 to $25 in flat* on any one who injures improved road* by heavy hauling on vehicles that are not equipped with friction locks. Rep. Chew, in another bill, seeks to have Boyne City included in the list of towns on the trunk line highway system of the state. Rep. McArthur, in the house, and Senator Tripp, In the senate, both have introduced bills aiming to repeal tbe mortgage tax law. The honor of being first to have a bill reported out of committee in the 1917 session fell to Rep. Warner, of Ionia county. The bill permits counties which desire to co-operate with other counties in establishing and maintaining tuberculosis sanatoriums to do so, instead of each county being compelled to either build its own or do without. The house public health committee reported this ^P out the day after it was introduced and it took its place on the house calendar as Bill No. 1. Township officials may borrow money to meet necessary expenses where the people have failed to vote such money, if a bill put in by Rep. Wells and referred to the committee on towns and counties is passed by the legislature. Rep. Schmidt, in another bill, seeks to have the time for paying state and county taxes extended to Feb. 1 of each year. Rep. Croll, of Clare county, wants the legislature to put through, quickly enough to have the people vote on it in April, a proposal to amend the constitution so that drainage districts may issue bonds for drainage purposes. Taxing of timber removed from private forest reserves that are exempt from taxation while the timber stands, is aimed at in a bill offered by Rep. Schmidt. Under the terms of this bill, it would be necessary for the owner to obtain a license before he could cut any timber on such private reserve. The license would be issued by the township assessing officer after he had estimated the value of the timber to be cut and it would cost the owner 5 per cent of that value for the license. Also he would have to plant new trees in order to keep his standing as owner of a private forest reserve. State institutions began early to put in their, estimates of what they will need for maintenance during the next two years and for Improvements, buildings, equipment, etc. The normal school at Marquette wants $75,000 for a new building, $95,- 032 for next year; $75,000 for the year after and $3,893 for special purposes. Fifty thousand dollars is asked in another bill to pay off the last of the claims arising out of the Spanish war. A total of $110,000 for the next two years is asked for Marquette prison. The College of Mines wants $77,705 a year and $13,848 for special purposes. The soldiers' home at Grand Rapids asks $250,000 a year for maintenance. A total of $208,000 for maintenance and $65,376 for land and buildings is sought for the girls' industrial school at Adrian. Seems as though some sheriffs and township assessing officers haven't been paying strict attention to the terms of a law enacted at the last in that way. Senator Condon, of De- legislature. This law made them re- <af tffa/^ommiasionen to $T,(WO AaWChe* bfr* proposition advanced early fat t*» eassion la to erect an sponsible for the collection of a dog tax on every dog in their districts, tfie money so collected to go into a fund to pay damages to persons losing sheep because of the depredations of dogs. Not having been as thoroughly observed as it might have been, Rep. Hall, cf Missaukee county, now proposes in a bill to put teeth in tbe law itself. He would do so by making any official who fails to carry out tbe terms of the law subject to removal from office. Rep. Qayde, of Plymouth, wants all vehicles to carry lights in front and rear on state highways after dark and proposes in a bill to* fine anyone $5 to $20 who fails to do so. The disability of married women to sign instruments binding them with their husbands to pay debts will be abrogated if bills introduced by Rep. BUnn in the house and Senator Scully in the senate are made into law. The bills aim to make the wife's property liable to judgment collections. A proposal to have a state purchasing agent appointed by the governor is advanced in a bill introduced, by Rep. Young. > The purchasing agent would contract for all supplies" for state Institutions and each institution would have * storekeeper to handle the worm: of obtaining and diatrlbutftii* the supplies. The bffi provides prison terms of two^to five years for the purchasing agent or Store kasglari rf they do any grafting in connection 1 ' potatoes have had to wait for weeks for confirmation. The first three hon* ored this year with senate approval of their appointments are Cassius R. Benton, of Northville, as member of the state tax commission; Addison A. Keiser, of Ludington, as member of the state railroad commission; and Phelps Ferris, of Big Rapids, son of former Governor Ferris, as a member of the Mackinac Island Park commission. One of the new senators is having a good joke told at his expense by fellow members. The new senator is described as having a very brusque mannerism and as being anxious to get everything located to his satisfaction right after hiB arrival. He approached one of the veteran senators who happened to be standing at the clerk's desk, with a pencil back of his ear and rummaging in a waste basket for some misplaced papers. "J want to get all you fellows placed/ What's your job?" asked the new senator In an authoritative voice. "Oh, I'm the third assistant janitor," said the old senator testily, continuing his search of the waste basket. "Well, you're one more I've got placed," remarked the new senator. 3ut he was observed to wear a startled look later on when the told senator answered roll call from his desk at the opening of the day's session.

Toklo— The Japanese battle cruiser Tsubuka was sunk in the harbor at Yokoeuka by an explosion of her magazine caused by fire. The killed total 153 and 157 were injured. The cause of the explosion is a mystery. The cruiser was of 13,750 tons displacement, measuring 440 feet long With a beam of 75 feet. She carried a crew of 817 officers and seamen. Ths Tsubuka was completed in 1907. As the newest and largest batthe f t l e c r u l 8 w ** the Mikado's fleet, she was stnt to the United States to take part is the naval pageant in Hampton Roads, which attracted thousands of spectators attending the Jamestown exposition in May, 1907. She came to New York later, being the first modern warship to bring the Japanese bag past the harbor forts of the city. The Tsubuka made the trip to America in company with the cruiser Ghitose, both being under command of Vice-Admiral Sir Gero Ijuin, then commandtr of the second squadron of the Japanese navy. The warships reached Hampton Roads on May 7, in time for the pageant, in which warships representing nearly all the powers took part. M. A. C.

The rescue of the crew of 17 officers and SI? men was completed. From the tip of the cruiser's fighting top to the beach stretched three lines, and over these a breeches buoy moved back and forth with monotonous regularity. Two men were saved on each trip. Simultaneously two surf boats operated by men of the Humboldt Bay coast guard and members of the stricken warship's craw made frequent trips to the venae! each, time OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE MISSED Why Wait? Why Not Go to Western Canada Now? The writer has frequently heard the remark that "after the "war we will go to Western Canada." It does not occur to those making the remark that If they wish to secure lands in Western Canada, whether by homestead or purchase, the best time to go Is now. After the war the welcome will be Just aa hearty as .ever, but the chances arethat land values will increase and today homesteads are plentiful and land is reasonable in price. There is no question about what the land In Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta will do, what It will give under proper cultivation. Farmers In Western Canada are paying for their land holdings with thej proceeds of last year's crop. That thisi Is no Idle statement may be gieanedt from the three following items, which are picked out at random: "In the spring of 1916 a half-secttoi* of land was offered for sale at $17.00 per acre. There were 105 acres of summer-fallow, which, because the owner could not at the time find a buyer, were seeded to wheat. A yield of 40 bushels per acre, 4,200 bushels all told, grading No. 1, was obtained. The price the day the grain was sold (which was very early in the season* before grain prices advanced to round about $2.00) was $1.60, which brought the handsome total of $6,720.00. Threehundred and twenty acres at $17.00 equals $5,440.00, so that a buyer, by placing less than half of the whole under crop, would have made a profit of $1,280.00."—Robson Messenger, Robson, Sask. "That the 'Indiana Boys' farm this) year raised sufficient crop to pay for the lend, all the machinery and all overhead expenses as well as make a handsome profit, is the information given by N. B. Davis, the manager. The wheat yield was over 22,000 bushels. Of twelve cars already sold, nine graded No. 1, and Mr. Davis has sold over 2,000 bushels locally for,seed at '$2.00. Naturally, when he gets to Indiana he will be a big booster for Alberta."— Bassano Mail, Bassano, Altn. "Oscar Cnstalor, who bought land at Blusson after the crop had been put In last spring, for $3,800.00, has threshed 3,900 bushels of wheat, which is worth at present prices about $7,500.00. He refused an offer of $6,000.00 for the land after the croj* had been taken off."—Lethbridge Herald, Lethbrldge, Alta. Reports from the wheat fields are highly encouraging and show that the wheat crop of many farmers In Western Canada was highly satisfactory. Coblenz, Sask.—W. A. Rose has) threshed an average of 33 bushels per acre and 83 bushels of oats. Glelchen, Alberta.-—Up to date 237,- 812 bushels of grain have been received by local elevators, of which nearly 180,000 bushels were wheat Seventyone cars of grain have already been shipped. Stoop Creek, Sask.—James McRae has threshed 5,400 bushels of grain, 2,000 bushels of which were wheat, grading No. 1 Northern. One field averaged 44 bushels per acre, and a large field of oats averaged 83 bushels.

Previous installments of "The Destroying Angel" told how Hugh Whltaker, thinking he faced death, married an innocent girl to save her honor and left the country Immediately. Five years later he reappeared in New York, robust and wealthy, and found an old friend, Drummond, engaged to marry his supposed widow, now a famous actress known as Sara Law. She disappeared. Drummend is thought to have committed *-.-1- elde, as her previous lovers had done. Whitaker learned he was endangered by mysterious agents and went to the country place of Martin Ember, his friend. Drummend turned up* a raving morphomaniac, and tried to kill Whltaker, who was helped by a beautiful Miss Flake. * • _ . _ CHAPTER XH—Continued. —14— •The most amiable person I know r be cried, elated. "Greetings!" She paused by the steps, looking up, a fascinating vision. "You're able to stand without assistance?" "As a matter of fact, I can move Only at the cost of excruciating agony.** She considered him with a sober face and smiling eyes. "I don't believe you. You're a fraud. Besides, I didn't come to see you at all; I came to And out why Mr. Ember dares so to neglect me. Did you deliver my Invitationr HI did, unwillingly.

If I promise to come over this evening and play you a rubber or two—will you permit me to go home now?" "On such terms m do anything you can possibly suggest," he declared, enchanted. "But . . . how will you get here? Not alone, through the woods! I can't permit that" "Elsie shall row me down the shore and then go back to keep cook company. Sum Fat can see me home—If you find it still necessary to keep up the invalid pose." "I'm afraid," he laughed, "I shall caM my own bluff. . . . Must you really go so soon?** "Good afternoon." she returned demurely ; and ran down the -steps and off to her boat Smiling quietly to himself, Whitaker watched her cast the boat off, get under way, and swing It out of sight behind the trees. Then his smile wavered and faded and gave place to a look of acute discontent Three mortal hours to fritter away In profitless anticipation . • • At seven Whitaker was merely nervous. By eight he was unable to sit ttllL ' Half an hour later the house was too smaU to contain him. He found himself at the end of the dock, gngUng with impatience, but finding some Uttle consolation In the restless sweep of the wind against his face and body. He could see Uttle—a mere suggestion of the shore line picked out with the dim. semlpbosphorescent glow of breaking wavelets. Some minutes eUpsed. The pallor of the east grew more marked. Whitaker fancied he could detect a figure moving on the flake dock. Then, startled, he grew conscious of the thick drone of a heavily-powered motor boat near Inshore. Turning quickly, he discovered a black* vague shape not twenty yards from where he stood, showing neither bow DOT sidelights: a stealthy and mysterious apparition creeping toward the dock with something of the effect of an animal shout to spring. And Immediately he heard a man's voice from the host, abrupt with anger: ; "Not this place, you ass—the next" • "Slot up," another voice replied. ^There's somebody on that ,dock.* At the same time the bows of the boat swung off and the shadow slipped •way to westward—toward the Flake place. A wondering apotesienslon of nameless and desperate somehow Involving the ' obsessed Ms Qwnghts. crawled hi Whttaker* s mind. Aetomatfcalty he tamed back, let himself down to the beach, sad began to pfdt his way toward the Flake dock, half naming desalts Ms •tiff ankle. But he had not gone hntt the way before he pulled op with a t h m * " ! neart. startled beyond es> by a cry In the night ef wild appeal ami protest lug ahead, he could distinguish dimly shapes about the dock and upon it that seemed to bear out his most cruel fears. The power boat was passably distinct her white side showing plainly through the tempered darkness. Midway down the dock he made out struggling figures—two of them, he Judged; a man at close grips with a frantic woman. And where the structure joined the land, a second pair, again a man and a woman, strove and swayed. For ail his haste, he was too slow; he was still a'fair thirty yards away when the struggle on the dock ended abruptly wKh the collapse of the woman; it was as if," he thought, her strength had failed all In an instant— as if she had fainted. He saw the man catch her up in his arms, where-she lay limp and unresisting, and with this burden step from the stage to the boat and disappear from sight beneath the coaming. An instant later he reappeared, standing at full height to the cockpit Without warning bis arm straightened out and a tongue of flame jetted from his hand; there was a report ; in the same breath a bullet buried itself in the low earth bank on Whitaker* s right Heedless, be pelted on. The shot seemed to signal the end of the other struggle at the landing stage. Scarcely had it rung out ere Whitaker saw the man lift a fist and dash it brutally Into the woman's face. Without a sound audible at that distance she reeled and felf away; while the man turned, ran swiftly out to the end of the dock, cast off the headwarp and jumped aboard the boat She began to sheer off as Whitaker set foot upon the stage. She was twenty feet distant when he found himself both at Its end and at the end of his resource. Frantic with despair, he thrashed the air with impotent arms; a fair mark, his white garments *h<ntng bright against the dark background of the land. Aboard the moving boat an automatic fluttered, spitting ten shots In as many seconds. The thud and splash of bullets all round him brought him to his senses. Choking with rage, be stumbled back to the land. On the narrow beach, near the dock, a small flat-bottomed rowboat lay, Its stern afloat, its bows aground—as It had been left by the women surprised in the act of launching It Jumping down, Whitaker put his shoulder to the stem. As he did so, the other woman roused, got unsteadily to her feet, screamed, then catching sight of him staggered to his aide. It was—as he had assumed—the maid, EUse. "M'sieur r she shrieked, thrusting s tragic face with bruised and bloodstained month dose to his. "Ah, m'sieur—madame—cos canailles-la—I" "Yea, I know," he said brusquely. "Get oat of the way—don't hinder me!" The boat was now all afloat He jumped In, dropped upon the middle thwart, and fitted the oars In the rowlocks. "But, m'sieur, what mean yen to d o r MDont know yet," he panted—"follow— keep them In sight—* The blades dipped; he bent his back to them; the rowboat shot away. A glance over his shoulder showed him the boat of the marauders already well away. She now wore running lights; the red lamp swung Into view as he glanced, like an obscene and sardonic eye. They were, then, making eastwards. He wrought only the mors lustily with the oars. Happily the Flake motor boat swung at a mooting not a great distance from the shore, 8nrprlstnfty soon he had the small boat alongside. Hastily ha the switch and started the motor. Half a mile away the red light swuuy eastwarii prei The Trouble leaped out like a Mve thing, settling to Its coarse with the of an arrow truly loosed, critic of Ms toward the shore, then shot into the mouth of a narrow Indentation. For two or three minutes he could see nothing of the other. Then he emerged from a tortuous and constricted channel into a deep cut, perhaps fifty feet In width and spanned by a drawbridge and a railroad trestle. At the farther end of this tidegate canal connecting the Great West bay with the Great Peeonic, the leading power boat was visible, heading out at full speed, the half-mile lead fully re-established. Empty .of all other craft weird and desolate In moonlight the Little l*eeonic waters widened and then narrowed about the flying vessels. Shore lights watched them, now dim* and Car, now bright and near at hand. Shelter Island sound received them, slapped their flanks encouragingly with Its racing waves, sped them with an ebbing tide that tore seawards between constricted shores into the lonelier wastes of Gardiner's bay. Their relative positions were unchanged: still the Trouble retained her position. When the chase rounded the buoy, instead of standing, as any reasonable beings might have been expected to, on to Fisher's Island or at a tangent north toward the Connecticut littoral, they swung off something south of east —a course that could lead them nowhere but to the Immensities of the sea Itself. Whltaker's breath caught in his throat as he examined this startling prospect He shook a dubious, vastly troubled head. But he held on grimly in the face of dire forebodings. Once out from under the lee of Gardiner's island, a heavier run of waves beset them, catching the boats almost squarely on the beam: fortunately a sea of long, smooth, slow shouldering rollers, as yet not angry. Now and again, for all that, one would favor the Trouble with a quartering slap that sent a shower of spray aboard *er to drench Whitaker and swash noisily round the cockpit ere the selfbailing channels could carry It off. He was quickly wet to the skin and shivering. The hour was past midnight and the strong air whipping In from the open sea had a bitter edge. They still had moonlight but the wind was blowing with an insistent unintermittent force It had not before developed. A base, vaguely opalescent encircled the horizon like a ghost of absinthe. By four-thirty, when the twilight was moderately bright Whitaker was barely able to distinguish the leading boat The two seemed as if suspended, struggling like Impaled Insects, the one in the midst, the other near the edge, of a watery pit walled in by vapors. The end came just before dawn, with a swiftness that stunned the faculties— as though one saw the naked wrath of God leap like lightning from the sky. AIRSHIPS NOW SE WIRELESS Heretofore Massages Could Net Be Received on Account of Noise— Difficulty Overcome. Upon his return to London from Italy, GugUelmo Marconi, in an interview with British journalists, gave the following information: "New developments will not only make wireless communication in this war more enV dent than ever before, but will make it more difficult for the enemy to inter* eept meaeages. These Improvements will apply to instruments in aeroplanes and airships. Hitherto aeroplanes nave been at a disadvantage with airships in wireless work, for although they were able to transmit messagesr they have not been sole to receive them. This was because the receiving signal was too faint to be dlstlngaiahed. being drowned by the noise of the aeroplane engine. Now we have been sole to strengthen the receiving signal sufficiently to enable messages to be "Please, mister* have you got any for a poor, man what aiat had aothta* to eat for three daysi? •What Mad of wort can yon del* •attar Than He Hoped.

The harsh, shapeless light of Imminent day alone manufactured a color of difference: Whitaker now was able to see as two dark shapes the men In the body of the leading boat Now suddenly the man at the wheel cried out something In a terrible voice of fright so high and vehement that it even carried back against the booming gale for Whitaker to hear. Simultaneously he put the wheel over, with all his might. The other jumped from his seat, only to be thrown back as the little vessel swung broadside to the sea, heeling until she lay almost on her beam ends. The next instant she ceased, Incredibly, to move—hung motionless in that resistless surge, an amazing, stupefying spectacle. It seemed minutes before Whitaker could force his wits to comprehend that she had struck and lay transfixed upon some submerged rock or reef. A long, gray roller swept upon and over her, brimming her cockpit with foaming* water. As It passed he saw Aboard the Moving Boat an Automatic Fluttered. the half-drowned men release the coamings, to which they had clung on involuntary Impulse to escape being swept away, scramble upon the cabin roof, and with one accord abandon themselves to the will of the next wave to follow. As It broke over the boat and passed, he caught an Instantaneous glimpse of their heads and arms bobbing and beating frantically as they whirled off through the yeasty welter. But he saw this without pity or compassion. If he had been able to have his will with them, he would have sunk both ten fathoms deep without an Instant's respite. His throat was choked with curses that welled up from a heart wrenched and raging at this discovery of cowardice unparalleled. They had done what they could for themselves without even hesitating to release the woman Imprisoned la the cabin.

It Is a popular notion that the valuable varnishes known as lacquers are vegetable products that exude from various trees of India and the East when their twigs are punctured by a cochineal insect. One Mnd of gam la, however, actually prodoced by the inaec* itself. The minute larvae begin to secrete the gum as soon as they puncture the tender bark and begin to suck the plant juices. In favorable circumstances tbe red- secretion gradually envelops the larva In a hard lamp, which protects It from attack. Frequently, however, tMs larvae are to crowded that a mass of gum Is formed, and Bsen the unprotected larvae gradually die of starvation or exposure. Experiments have shown that If the larvae were transferred at f*t. proper season to bunches of straw fastened to twigs In favorable sttuatfona. the larvae would migrate to the tender branches under the beat conditions.

I.aat season it happened that the races were close in both organizations, but aa a rule that old proposition set forth by George Stalling, that the clubg finish as they stand on July 4, holds good. At any rate by the closing month of the season interest has been pretty well destroyed in all but about, three cities In each league. Then comes the world's series, which is of vital inter est in two cities only. Its general in J Hill tere&t, of course, Is wide, but the fanwho travel from Chicago, for instance. 'to a big series in Xew York numbei but a few hundred, ( Yet there are thousands of rooters in Chicago. There lnljrht bo 50,000 fan^ at a world's series, but that number doesn't a mount to much when compared with tlie number of rooters in all major league* cities. .The ideal thing, therefore, both from + | a sporting and business standpoint * j WoQld bo to dope out gome method to j keep all of tha fans interested all .of ! the time. If £ou could keep the eleven cities represented In the big leagues ui fever heat all season as far as baseball was concerned you can make yeur own j guess «1 ilio profits. The ma.jor league season consists of i 154 game-. If that number was cut to 124 the i'a>-< s would finish about the l*t ] of Sopu'inhe:.

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.

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.

There followed the strangest chase that ever mortal man witnessed. The hounds hunted the team and its owner hard to Newmarket, and with such a smash into the Kam inn yard tbe whole lot wont th.it tiioro was no more coach left and little more of d r i v ^ u f F.

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.

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.

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.

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. Fry on a hot griddle and serve with maple sirup. Darning Wool Underwear. Never darn fine woolen underwear with wool.

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. If your druggist hasn't any freezone tell him to surely get a small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house.—adv. The Reason.

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.

" '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."

CHAPTER XV—Continued. —IS— Hastening back to the farmstead, ne secured a spade from the barn *nd made bis way quickly down to the fceach by way of the road through the d u s t e r of deserted fishermen's huts. 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. Ton might nave been looking for a pin, from your painsfaking air, off there along the cliffs. He sodded again, gloomily, to adatft of no aaothod of reply, nothing to tell sn*r Ha lugitlve, slmdowy, sympathetic and shrewd smile. "Must I make talk, then?" she demanded at length. "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 !

"I never guessed until ilwit night, after he had come down into the cabin to—to drug himself. . . . It was very" terrible—that tiny, pitching cabin, with the swinging, smoking Jamp, and fhe madman sitting there, muttering to himself over the glass In which the morphine was dissolving. . . . 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! You know t h a t don't you." "I have never for an Instant ques? tioned ltM "It wouldn't be like you to. my dear; It wouldn't be you, my Hugh. No other man I ever knew—no, let me say It!—ever measured up to tbe standard you had set for me to worship. But Hugh—you'll understand, won't you?—about the others—-T" "Please," he begged—"please don't harrow yourself so, Maryl" "No; I must tell you. . . . The world seemed so empty and so lonely, Hugh: I tried to lose myself In my work, but It wasn't enough. And those others came, beseeching me, and—and t liked them. I waa starving for affection.

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 t>f 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 Ught sweep** the sky, that means "Good-night with love nnd kisses." But the most welcome of all the sljf 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.' "You'll do more wonderful things than fly in the Land of Nod," said the Goblin. "Will I?" asked Douglas delightedly. "Now we'll fly down to the Snow Castles and the Ice Palaces," said the Goblin. "We'll pay them n visit." "All right," said Douglas. Through the most wonderful Snow Castles and Ice Palaces they went, and they found Fairies dancing in ballrooms made of ice. "Now we'll go to Birdland," said the Goblin. They flew off again In the same mysterious wny ns before.

As he gazed a t this plump J u n o the light of memory came Into his eye*, but still he wa? not quite certain about something. "Let rae see," he mused, "which Bide of the house do you resemble most?"

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.

This Anuric is put up m tablet form, and can be obtained at almost any drug store. For that backache, lumbago, rheumatism, " r u s t y " joints, swollen feet or hands, due t o uric aeki in the blood, Anuric quickly dissolves t h e uric acid as hot water does sugar. Discovered b y Dr. Pierce of Buffalo, NT Y . Prevent premature old age b y simply sipping a cup of hot water every morning before breakfast, taking a little Anuric before meals and lire to be a hundred. v-; TUB REFLECTIONS OP A MARRIED WOMAN—are not pleasant If she Is delicate, run-down, or over worked.

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. Wa seek merely to stand true alike tn thought and In action, to the immemorial principles of our people which I sought to express tn my address to the senate only two weeks merely to vindicate oar right to liberty and am unmolested Ufa. the bases of peace, not war. that wa shafl net ba challenged to defend them brae* of wOfm lajeettee If Cross, feverish, constipated, give "California Syrup of Figs." • laxative today saves a sick child tomorrow.

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 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.

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. He wagged a doubtful head, and scowled; w sign in any Quarter of a boat heading for the island, no telling when they'd he taken off the cursed place!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

DOZEN OTHERS ARE INJURES One Group of Five Persons Refused te Jump and Die When Window Ledge Gives Way. 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. Backache In spit* of the best of oneself, any part of the human is liable to became out of order. The most important organs are the stomarh, heart and kidneys. Ths kidneys are the scavengers and they work day and night in separating the poisons from the biood. Thear signals-of distress are easily recognised and include such symptoms as backache, depressions, drowsiness, irritability, headaches, diwinrsa, rheumatic twinges, dropsy, gout. "The very best way to restore the kidneys to their normal state of health," says Dr. Pierce of Buffalo, N.

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. During the year the Germans sank a trifle mora than t h a t making the net loss in world's shipping about 1 1-1 per cent.

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 .

Many well-authenticated stories are told of how sweethearts and wives have been warned by dreams and telepathy of Impending danger to loved ones at the front. Oae of the most vivid stories on record Is related by a young lady whose fiance was recently wounded, says London THBtts. Almost as soon, as she fell asleep one night she dreamed that she aaw her fiance In the trenches preparing for a raid. In her dream she saw him, w?th many others, climb out of the British trenches, cross No H a a s Laatf, and enter the enemy's lines. Her dream became confused far a B S > ment and then quite plainly she saw him climb on the parapet of the Oarman trench and fall forward woundat). A big man came up, took the wounded man on his shoulder, and carried him back to the British lines. Tha young lady awoke feeling verjr alarmed and the next day wrote to her fiance for news. 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. A big Maori carried him bach to the British lines, exactly aa tin) young lady had pictured la her Bo Ni*r and Yet 8a Far. "What are you cooking, mamma f asked four-year-old Margaret.

There is nothing so destructive Of the hair as dandruff. It robs the aaar •f its luster, its strength and its very life; eventually producing a feverishneds and itching of the ncalp, whiaa if not remedied causes the hair roaa* to shrink, loosen and die—then the hair falls out fust. A little Dandei soulght—now—any time—will SUJ save your hair. Get a 25 rent bottle of Knowlton's Danderlne from any store, and afier the first application your hair will take on that life, luster and luxuriunee which is so beautiful. It will become wavy and fluffy and have the appearance of abundance; an incomparable gloss and softness, hut what will please you most will be after Just a few weeks' use, when you will actually see a lot of fine, downy hair—new hair—growing all orer the scalp. 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?"

Tommy Howard ts no better and no worse than the majority of men of his age, but his maiden aunt, who keeps him in supplies at Oxford and to whom he looks t o leave him something worth while, takes for granted that he is the embodiment of all the virtues.
