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

The method of brenking small bottler without splintering the glass by burning an oil soaked string tied about them Is wek known, but this method does not work well with large bottles. Following is a method by which any •dzed glass vessel can be broken—as, for example, a glass tub to be made out of a carboy: Fill the vessel with cold water up to the point at which it is to be broken. Pour enough boiliug oil over the water to make a good coat on the surface, and before the oil has time to cool dash cold water on the outside of the vessel. A clean break at the contact potrtf; of oil and water will be the result.—Exchange. $25^00 Fine Any one damping ashes or rubbish of any kind, anywhere in the streets in~- idethe village limits, will be liable to a fine not exceeding ?2"> 00.

All persons within the age limits prescribed are required to present themselves for registration at the customary voting places in the voting precincts in ^bich fney have their permanent hornet, on a day which the president will announce. There was a time in the country's history when military enumerators, backed by bayonets, went out among the people to take a compulsory service census. Today, under the principle of universal liability to service, the execution of the law is put into the hands of the people. The governor of each state is the chief of registration therein. The machinery of registration in each county is In charge of the sheriff, the county clerk, and the county physician, acting ex officio, unless a different board shall be announced by the governor. In cities containing populations of more than 30,000, the registration will be under the control of the mayor Hnd se^ lected boards of registration. In order that the dislgnuted county and city officials, and the people generally, can get a clear understanding of the census methods the following brief outline Is given : The sheriffs, or other designated officials, immediately upon receiving notice from the governor, shall appoint registrars for each voting precinct. Apportionment of Registrars. The proportion of registrars shall be one for each 170 persons to be registered. Each age to be registered will comprise about 1 per cent of the population. It for Instance, all men between nineteen and twenty-five years of age, inclusive, are to be registered, the registrar would have to enroll about 7 per cent of the precinct population. It is desirable to accept the services of competent volunteer registrars to serve without compensation. All registrars most be sworn. The voting place in each precinct must be prepared for registration. Full printed Instructions covering every detail of registration will be in the hands of sheriffs and mayors on the fifth day after foe president's proclamation. Cities of Over 30,000 Population. The mayor of a city containing more than 30.000 Inhabitants, or the officials designated by the governor therein, shall, with approval of the governor, appoint for each ward or convenient minor subdivision containing about 30,- 000 people one registrar! 6n board, and shall designate one officer of each board to perform duties similar to those imposed on the sheriff, as heretofore outlined. If the mayor desires, he may appoint a central board to coordinate the work of minor boards. Duties of County Clerks, and of Clerks of Cities of Over 30,000 People. On the fifth day after the president has issued his proclamation, clerks of counties and cities of over 30.000 must secure a supply of blanks and copies of the registration regulations from the sheriff or from the mayor. Absentees and the sick will apply to suchclerks to have their registration cards filled o u t In no case shall such persons he given registration certificates. They are to be Instructed by the clerk that the burden is on them to see to It that the cards reach the registrars of their home precincts by registration day. Absentees and the Sick. Persons absent from their home counties may be registered by mail. If so absent, a man should go to the clerk of the county where he may be staying, •on the sixth day after the date of the presidents proclamation. If he is in a city of over 80,000 population, the city dark is the official to whom to apply.

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

ASKS ALL TO OBSERVE DAY Requests Old and Young to W e a r Red Flower for Living Mother and White, tor Dear Departed. (By W. L. CALNON^ Lansing. Gov. Sleeper has officially designated Sunday, May 13, as "Mothers' Day," Issuing the following proclamation to the people: "Our American civilization Is built around the home. The heart of the home is the mother. What is there in all the realm of art that stands higher, more commanding, more beautiful, than a simple, refined, gracious woman in her household; a woman whose daily life is an outpouring of the gospel of service, who is worshipped by her children, beloved by her husband and who rules in her home by sweetness, by gentleness, by self denial, by love? The mothers of the land are engaged in the noblest of all callings, the rearing of their sons and daughters to take their places as useful members of society. "As we, whose mothers have left us, look back through the years, how sweet and precious is the memory of the mother in the old home. All her life was a beauteous life, ft ran like a rill down the hillside and sang all the time. It was like flowers that know no summer and no winter. The memory of it kindles in us still the aupremest affection and arouses the finest enthusiasm of our hearts. "Therefore, that we may pay a special tribute of affection to the mothers who still live and honor the memory of the mothers who have gone from us, I, Albert E. Sleeper, governor of the state of Michigan, do hereby designate and set aside Sunday, May 13th, ss Mothers' Day; and I call upon our people, both young and old, to gather In their several places of worship, and take part in services appropriate to the day and, by the wearing of a red flower for the living mother and a white for the dear departed, to symbolize their love and reverence for the motherB of the nation. "In accordance with a resolution of the congress of the United States, I further request the people of Michigan, on the day aforesaid to display the United States flag in their homes and in other suitable places, as a fitting expression of their desire to pay homage to American motherhood." Probability That One Committee WilJ Purchase All Supplies Needed by the Allied Countries. Washington.—Creation of a central purchasing committee In Washington for all supplies bought in the United States for the allied governments was forecast here by Sir Hardman Lever, financial expert of the British war mission. The committee will supplant J. P. Morgan & Co. Discussing the world financial situation, the British expert expressed the opinion that Germany will be practically bankrupt in the credit markets after the war. "Our enemies," he said, "for all their boasted efficiency, have never had the courage to face their financial problems, with the result that when the war is over they will be hard put to it" The Teutonic governments having pyramided one Internal loan upon another, be explained, their interest charges would be so great that he believed they would either have to repudiate a large part of their debt or face Inability to buy the enormous quantities of material they would need for reconstruction.

As a result he predicted that the end of the war would find the allies in good shape financially, despite their enormous permanent debts. Governor Busy Man. Between the work of caring for the enrolled bills and giving consideration to each one in its turn, and the task of keeping up the military and food preparedness programs, Governor Sleeper is the busiest chief executive the state has had since the days of Civil war. The adjournment of the legislature brings him no rest, owing to the war conditions and the necessity of creating ways and means to prepare the state to go through war developments. Frequent conferences are being held with a view to have the state's crops increased through the medium of in creased acreage. The gravity of the situation which will have to be faced next winter is being Impressed on everyone as thoroughly as possible. Many farmers are inquiring, however, as to. the prospects of Increased crops resulting in knocking down prices next winter to a level that will mean lack of profit In buying seed at present high prices. These men want to see a minimum price agreed upon for their products, so they can feel assured of no loss because of extra work and extra production. The minimum price idea has appealed to various members of the preparedness board, but some believe that federal action would be necessary to ensure the success of any price regulation. Navy Buys Butter In 8tate. Through efforts of the state dairy commission, Michigan creameries have been given contracts for 350,000 pounds of butter for the United States nary.

The Boer army organization would not be taken as a model for any modern military system, but its very weaknesses made easier the rise to high command of able subalterns. At least it gave a young officer his chance to show what was in him. Botha got his chance under Joubert. It was only a matter of weeks before this field cornet was In command of armies. At Colenso Botha with 6,000 men held off Buller with 18,000 and made such use of the deep trench as has become familiar In the great war during the past two years. European experts have studied with profit Botha's brilliant defenses. The shrewdness with which he devined the enemy's Intentions was almost uncanny, and more than once it made him victor of a doubtful field.

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

Criticism also has come from other places because the war department will not turn over large quantities of rifles to home guard organizations and other associations of men who may or may not eventually get into the service. An American army of 500,000 men so far as its , infantry is concerned could be supplied with rifles and ah> raunition In plenty today. There is much misunderstanding in the country abont the rifle and equipment situation. „ The United States is confronted wtth the problem of raising an army -ot 500,000 men, of giving its infantry and cavalry rifles and equipment, and its artillery field pieces and equipment with ammunition for all branches. Must Keep Weapons for Army. In view of the way In which congress has declined to make appropriations in the past for the necessary war material, officials say 1L. is not proper that army officers should be blamed for not having rifles to give to home guard organizations and to detachments of drillers here and there when the sharp necessity Is to have enough weapons for the actual army which is to be raised. The law and the regulations stood In the way of supplying weapons to the broomstick drillers here and there and to the home guards elsewhere. The war department, it is asserted, could not have furnished these rifles even If it had so desired. There was also a law higher than that of congress, to stand in the way. It was the law of military common sense. What would this country do if its supply of rifles were in the hands of the home guards and men of other organizations wThen the time came to supply the needs of the actual fighting units of the field army? American civilians, it Is said, do not think well along military ltnes. A Hue in the hands of a soldier who must be trained quickly for the fighting line Is worth two rifles at the command of a civilian who IB learning how to take the position of a soldier and how to do a few other things with the possible intention of offering himself later for the service. In the one case there is sharp necessity and in the other case there Is only the possibility of necessity. Crozier Has Done AM He Could. Chieftains of the army bureaus have not been asleep through the years. Does anyone suppose that Brigadier General William Crozier, chief of ordnance, has not done all that he could with the money at hand to supply American troops with a view to- the possibility of war? Does anyone suppose that this man does not appreciate the patriotic sentiment which inspires his fellow Americans who desire to drill with the view of future sen-ice and who are demanding that rifles be given them? The ordnance officers do not deny rifles to men because they want to deny them. They deny them because the law of the land and tfte law of military sense compel them to make denial. It would seem from some of the stories which go floating about that It is the desire of army officers to prevent the American people from securing the means to prepare themselves. The fact is that the officers of the war department are putting their material where It will do the most good. Trained soldiers try to put their training to proper use. It has been jrlfleS and ammuifltfan so that ft may be available for troops who must use them in actual conflict. If the government of the United States two years ago had made provision for this time of evil, the broomstick brigades and the home guards could have their rifles and abuse would be absent The army lias to keep within its appropriations. The war department is as well pro vlded for hostilities as it possibly can be nnder the circumstances of lack of sufficient appropriations. For years the army has urged that money be given it to prepare. Congress has turned ah unbearlng ear. Things probably will be different In the future, but this, Washington officials say, is a late day for reformation. (Conducted by the National W o m a n ' s Christian Temperance Union.) DECREASE IN CONSUMPTION. The per capita consumption of spirituous, vinous and malt liquors during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1916, was, according to the final government report, 10.40 gallons. This is the smallest figure since 1902. While the "withdrawal for consumption" of distilled liquors was greater in 1916 than in 1915, It was less than in any year between 1902 and 1915. The slight increase- was chiefly du#, says the commissioner of Internal revenue to "the effective enforcement of the Internal, revenue tax on distilled spirits." It should be remembered that the "withdrawal for consumption" does not mean that the liquor all went downthe throats of American citizens. Much of It is forced out of the government warehouses by the expiration of the bonded period. When liquor is taken out of bond the tux is paid and it is officially recorded as "consumed." As a matter of fact a large part of it is merely transferred to private warehouses to await market demands. The fact that large quantities remain in bond until forced out by the time limit Is sufficient proof that actual consumption of spirituous liquors is decrease ing.

Prof. Leonardo Bianchi, an authority on alcoholism in Italy, agrees with Lambroso and Ferrl concerning the degeneration caused by the winedrinking customs of his country. He says : "I know from my experience that deep melancholy, persecutlonal mania, Jealousy leading to the assassination of the suspected individual can, in many cases, be directly traced to overindulgence In the gift of Bacchus. Most of our great criminals were hard drinkers before starting on their career of crime, or are sons of hard drinkers. The headquarters of the Mano Nera and other associations of malefactors is the wineshop. We can easily become master of cholera and diphtheria, of typhoid fever and. malaria. The grave problem before us Is the prevention of the insidious alcoholization of the nation. The degrading poverty of the lower classes in certain sections of the country, our lazzaronl, the passion for gambling, the terrible infant mortality—for all this, and more yet, the special form of our alcoholism is mainly responsible." r 1 AS* - A X«J> t w .M«: 4 4 *w ^ •*.« — & ,, p I .

Copy nature by sowing seeds of perennials as they ripen. Provide some sort of shade for the seedbed. A screen made of lath or one of unbleached muslin will answer. The robust-growing plants will need some sort of support. Let the support be painted green or oiled to bring out the grain of the wood, and you will find them more pleasing than rough sticks and far more satisfactory. Drive the stakes fast into the earth a little lower than the plants, so that they are inconspicuous. The plants needing supports are such hardy perennials as delphiniums, giant foxglove and snapdragons. Do not overlook giving stakes to dahlias, cosmos, hydrangea and gladioli. To maintain continuous blooming, make a habit of cutting flowers freely, and remove all the fading blossoms, and nature will reward you with a lavish hand. If you want your bed of cannas or border of caladiums to make a grand tropical showingt give them a frostlike covering of bonemeal; then stir the soil, water thoroughly, and mulch with lawn clippings. Be sure to remove the fading flowers. } over winter like the old roots; and start them again In the spring. I do not say this Is the only way, but it is a good one. A good dahlia must bloom from July until frost; and If it does not discard it. It is claimed by dahlia growers that dividing the roots will degenerate almost all the varieties; that is the reason we have such a few good flowers. Of course a good many will believe that a cutting will not flower and make roots to keep over the winter, but it is not true; they were raised that way many years ago, and that is the way they are raised today in England, France and Germany (that Is if these countries were thinking of planting Instead of warring) and other countries except the United States. It is the reason too, the Americans do not care for dahlias; they have been deceived too much. They buy old roots and get an old degenerate plant, sometimes six feet tall und more and not a blossom In sight. In October, when nights are cool, the degenerate <-hows buds, and If the frost does not catch them, they will flower maybe two weeks, rind the flower be deficient in color and size. They blame the weather, etc., it is not the weather altogether, but the method of planting. THE WAY TO RAISE DAHLIAS By E. VAN BENTHUYSEN.

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

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

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

"This morning while we were in the office of the jefe de urmas," she said, "I aaw a poor woman with a baby*— she was scarcely more than a child herself—whose husband is in prison. Every day she comes to plead with the jefe de armas for her husband's life. But he will not see her, and the soldiers only laugh at her tears."

"The salvo conducto which will permit Juan and his Inez and their Juanito to return t o their farm Is being mada out," he explained. "Are you satisfled?* Alaire looked up wonderingly. "I am deeply grateful. You overwhelm me. You are—a strange man." "Dear laTly, I live to serve you. Your wish Is my .law. How can I prove It further?" The strained, throbbing silence that followed Longorio's last words did more to frighten the woman than had his most ardent advances. He would have lingered indefinitely over the table, but Alaire soon rose to go, explaining: "I must finish my disagreeable task now, so that I can go home tomorrow." **Tomorrow tf* her host cried In dismay. "No, no! You must wait—" "My husband is expecting me." This statement was a blow; It seemed to crush Longorio, who could only look his keen distress. As they stepped out into, the street, in the gutter stood Inez Garcia with her baby in her arms, and beside her the ragged figure of a young man, evidently her Juan. The fellow was emaciated, his face was gaunt and worn and frightened, his feet were bare even of sandals, the huge peaked straw hat which he clutched over his breast was tattered, and yet in his eye there was a light They had waited patiently, theso Garclas, heedful of Longorio's orders, and now they burst into a torrent of thanks.

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

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, May 24th, 1917 No 21 Hemorial Day Proclamation ty the Governor Well-nigh three score years have passed since our fathers took up arms for the cause of the Union. That was a righteous war, a holy war. It was waged for unity and liberty and human happiness; Poor years the conflict Ihen came the end, and the Gregory On Sunday 20 relatives of Mrs. Joe Bowen gathered at her home west of town in honor of her 50th birthday. They presented her frith a gold LaValeire. An enjoyable time was spent by •11, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Foster of Lansing are making an extended visit at the Ralph Chipman home.

Year by year their ranks grow thinner, One by one their comrades leave them. Fox many years our people have gone forth un Memorial Day to place flowers on the graves of those veterans of the great civil -war who have gone beyond, and to pay a tribute of respect to those who still remain. It is a beautiful custom. May the time never come when it shall die out. May this generation and the generations yet to come, never forget what the? owe to the brave men Trho fought their battles tor t! em. This year Memorial Day an especial significance. With moat of us up to this time, the observance or trie atxy has :»een aw-rj. or le^a p<rfui.v.tor fiave scarcely reuiiz^a us meani^ day that meaning is brought horn. through the grim reality of war. \\ e Totou* The world at war!

KENNEDY A Highly Respected Citizen and An Old Resident of Pinckney Passes Away and Mry. be. The thing was utabinkablt; but the impossible happened. The ^reat powers across the sea came to d^ath grips. Men's hearts melted within them. In Europe a deep seated earthquake seemed to heave up the basis of civil life, end the tribunals of men, and the thrones of monarchs, and the temples of God were shaken to their lowest atom of their structure. Still we hoped that our own- land would fare free. Neutral we would remain and go calmly about our peaceful pursuits. It was not to be. The menace to human freedom became too frightful; and today we are at war. Our sons are being drafted. Our daughters are enlisting under the Red Cross banner. Prom ocean to ocean the nation is-girding up its loins for the fray. This too is a right eon a war. We did not want war. We did our best to keep out of war; but there was no escape from the situation. The rights of all neutrals were being contemptuously disregarded. The freedom of the seas was beiug denied us. American citizens were being slaughtered in defiance of international law and all the rules of civilize<$ warfare. Democracy was being slowly throttled, and our very existence as a free nation was being threatened. This ruthless war rang out a strident challenge to our manhood. Our cause then is a just cause. It is the cause of human freedom. We stand up for the rights of humanity and fling out a banner to the nations. God grant that out of this universal conflict, out of the sacrifice of blood and tears and treasure, the world may come forth with a cleaner, purer Boul. Therefore, that we may pay a tribute of affection and esteem to the surviving veterans of the Civil War and of the Spanish-American War and honor the memory of those who gave up thsir lives in our cause, I, ALBERT E. SLEEPER, Governor of the State of Michigan, do hereby issue this* my Proclamation; and sincerely urge the Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Leach were Detroit vi>.ii,orJ iajt oaturday.

To them were born fonr sons, Arthur F. r/bo died in : S81 at the age of five, Samuel J. who lives in Seattle, Bruce T. who died in 1D01 at the age ol 20, and Raymond H. who also lives in Seattle.

The president signed the army bill just after dinner at 8 p. m. on Friday, without formality, and set June 5 as the date of registration for all men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one for military service. President Issues Proclamation. President Wilson's proclamation, putting Into effect the selective draft provision of the war army bill, signed last night, follows in part: "A proclamation by the president of the United States: "Whereas, Congress has enacted and the president has on the 18th day of Muy, one thousand nine hundred and seventeen, approved a law which contains the following provisions: "Section 5.

"By the president: "ROBERT LANSING, "Secretary of State." Division Ordered to France. President Wilson directed that an expeditionary force of approximately a division of regular troops, under command of Maj. Gen. John J. Pershing, proceed to France at as early a date as practicable. General Pershing and staff will precede the troops. A division contains approximately 28,000 men. It is understood that at least 20,000 will be Infantry. The war bill was carefully gone over during the day by Brigadier General Crowder, Judge advocate general and provost marshal general. It was announced that all existing regiments of the guard will be called into service by August 5, and officials estimate that with from a month to six weeks' intensive training these troops will be ready to go forward for final preparation behind the fighting lines in Europe for the fighting that la before them. President's Statement The president Issued the following statement at the White House: ""I shall not avail myself, at any rate, at the present stage of the war, of the authorization conferred by the act to organize volunteer divisions. "To do so would seriously interfere with the carrying out of the chief and most immediately Important purpose contemplated by this legislation: "The prompt creation and early use of an effective army would contribute practically nothing to the effective strength of the armies now engaged against Germany. "No Time for Compliments." "I understand that the section of this act which authorizes the creation of volunteer divisions In addition to the draft was added with a view to providing an independent command for Mr. Roosevelt and giving the military authorities an opportunity to use his fine vigor and enthusiasm recruiting the forces now at the western front "It would be very agreeable to me to pay Mr. Roosevelt this compliment and the allies the compliment of sending to their aid one of our most distinguished public men, an ex-president who has rendered many conspicuous public services and proved his gallanttry in many striking ways.

If any fowl, bird, or animal is killed by an automobile on a public road the owner of the machine Is not liable for damages because he has a right to be on the public road and the deceased has no right to be there. This question, that has caused so much hard feeling among neighbors in rural communities, has been settled in a suit brought by Charles H. Park for $5, the alleged value of a turkey which Amos M. Farnsworth ran over while he was traveling in his machine through the town of Camden, N. Y. A justice of the peace awarded Mr. Park $5 and on appeal the Judgment was reversed in nn opinion written by County Judge Hazard. Part of the opinion read: "Highways are not built or maintained for animals or fowls to stray in. I do not believe the law imposed upon the defendant the duty of slowing down so he might have his car under control to stop immediately, just because he might have known, and probably did not know, that one of these turkeys might take a notion to cross the road at an injudicious moment."

As the result of Judge Landls' peculiar sense of humor many "stories" have gone the rounds. While practicing law he was engaged in a case before Federal Judge Christian Kohlsaat There were two other federal Judges in Chicago. They were Judge James Henley and Judge Peter Grosscup. Judge Kohlsaat called young Landls to the bench. "Say," he sold to the young attorney In a severe tone, "I understand you have been referring to me as 'Chris' Kohlsaat?"

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

DAVE LAW RECEIVES TOKENS OF GRATITUDE FROM Rl CAROO GUZMAN AND MRS. AUSTIN—DURING ANOTHER DAY WITH HIM ALAIRE DISCOVERS THAT T H E . RANGER SECRETLY LOVES HER SYNOPSIS. Mrs. Alalre Austin, handsome young mistress of Las Palmas ranch, lost In the Texas desert, wanders Into the camp of David Law, state Ilanger, waiting In ambush to capture a Mexican murderer. She has to stay 24 hours, until Law captures his man, kills another and* escorts her home. "Young Ed" Austin, drunkard, berates hi9 wife and makes insulting Insinuations about the ranger. Law discovers Austin Is secretly in league with Mexican rebels and horse thieves. Mrs. Austin encounters Gen. Luis Loagorio, Mexican, Federal, when she goes to La Feria, her Mexican ranch, to collect damages, and he makes odious love to her. Dave Law kills a cattle thief and comes into unpleasant contact with Austin, at the same time becoming more friendly with Alalre. to be eighty years old. If I'd had a gun on me, Td have busted him for some of the things he said. 'A dark ladyl* That's his wife. I give you warnin', Paloma, don't you ask her to stay for meals. People like them are dangerous." "You're too silly!" said Paloma. "Nobody believes In such things." "They don't eh? Well, hers got all Jonesvllle walkln' around ladders, and spittin' through crossed fingers, and countln' the spots on their nails. He interprets their dreams and locates lost articles." "Maybe he can tell me where to find Adolfo Urbina?" Dave suggested. "Humph! If he can't Tad Lewis can. Say, Dave, this case of yours has stirred up a lot of feelln' 'gainst Tad. The prosecutln' attorney says he'll sure cinch him and Urbina both. One of Lewis' men got on a bender the other night and declared Adolfo would never come to trial." "What did he mean?" "It may have been mescal talk, but witnesses sometimes have a way of disappearing I wouldn't put anything past that gang." Not long after breakfast Don Bicardo Guzman appeared at the Jones house and warmly greeted his two friends. To Dave he explained: "Last night I came to town, and this morning I heard you had returned, so I rode out at once. You were unsuccessful ?" "Our man never went to Pueblo." "Exactly. I thought as much. However, T go to meet Blanco today, and perhaps I shall discover something." "What takes you over thereT* Blase Inquired. "Walt until I tell you. Senor David, here, brings me good fortune at every turn. He honors my poor, thirsty rancho with a visit and brings a glorious rain; then he destroys my enemies like a thunderbolt No sooner is-this done than I receive from the Federals an offer for fifty of my best horses. Caramba! Such a price, too. They are In a great hurry, which looks as if they expected an attack from the Oandeteristas at Matamoroe. I hope so. God grant these traitors are defeated. Anyhow, the horses have gone, and today I go to get my money la gold." "Who's going with y o u r asked Law. Rlcardo shrugged. "Nobody. There Is no danger." Blase shook hli head, T h e y know yon are a red-hot rebel. I wouldn't trust them.'1 T h e y know, also, that X am an American, like yon gentlemen," proudly asserted Gasman. T h a t makes a difference. I supported the Liberator —God rest his soul 1—and I secretly assist those who fight his assassins, bnt so does everybody else. I am receiving a fine price for those horses, so It la worth a little risk. Now, senor," he addressed himself to the Ranger, "I have brought yoa a little present Day and night my boys and I have worked upon i t for we know the good heart you have. It was finished yesterday.

It was cunningly wrought and lavishly decorated with silver fittings, "Yon recognise those hairs?" ha queried. T h e y came from the mane and tall of your bonita." mas shortly after the lunch hour, for he had no desire to meet "Young Ed," However, to his relief, Austin did not appear, and inasmuch as Alalre did not refer to her husband in any way, Dave decided that be must be absent perhaps on one of his notorious sprees. The mistress of the big ranch was in her harness, having at once assumed her neglected duties. She came to welcome her caller In a short khaki fnger upon Montros&'s forehead, wears a lone star, and Td like to call her that—The Lone Star." Alalre smiled In tacit assent; then when the two friends had completely established their intimacy, she mounted her own horse and led the way to the round-up. Dave's unbounded delight filled the mistress of Las Palmas with the keenest pleasure. He laughed, he hummed ana tehee of songs, he kept up a chatter addressed as much to the mare as to his companion, and under it Montrosa romped like a tomboy. It was gratifying to meet with such appreciation as this; Alalre felt warm and friendly to the whole world, and decided that out of her abundance she must do more for other people. Of course Dave had to tell of Don Rkrardo's thoughtful gift and concluded by saying, "I think this must be my birthday, although It doesn't tit in with the calendar," "Don Ricardo has-his enemies, but he Is a good-hearted old man." "Yes," Dave agreed. Then, more gravely, "I'm sorry I let him go across the river." There was a pause. "If anybody harms him, I reckon I'll have a feud on my hands, for I'm a grateful person." "I believe It. I can see that you are loyal." "I was starved on sentiment when I was little, but it's in me bigger than a skinned riding suit; her feet were Incased in ox. They say gratitude is an tan boots; she wore a mannish felt i elemental, primitive emotion—" "Bessie Belle V Law accepted the "Now dont you start riggtn* your-1 aandaonie token, than held out his " " hand to the Mexican.

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

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

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

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

He knew nothing of her action, but she saw hira every day and came near being assigned to the same mess tent with him. At Vicksburg Miss Wilson was shot. So was the young man; and Miss Wilson, who nursed him, did not reveal her identity to him until Just as the boy was dying. She stayed by him, closed his eyes, and then went to Cairo and got an engagement as a chorus girt. A little while later she enlisted again, still In male clothes, as a member of the Third Illinois. She was taken to the headquarters of the commanding officer, It being suspected that she might be a Confederate spy, but she made It clear that she was a good, loyal Federal soldier. In one of the Pennsylvania regiments a bright little girl of twelve years enlisted as a drummer boy. 8he gave the name of Charles Martin, and she appeared to be a clever little fellow and made herself useful to the officers of the regiment in the capacity of a clerk. She was in five battles, but always escaped without a bullet wound. Her superior officers never suspected her sex for a moment. It was not until she was taken to a hospital in Philadelphia suffering from typhoid fever that her sex was discovered. . An officer of the Seventeenth Illinois, by the name of Reynolds, bad his wife made a major. Reynolds himself was a lieutenant. She was a scout and spy and made no effort to conceal her sex. A girl named Annie Lilly bridge of Detroit became betrothed to a lieutenant In the Twenty:flrst Michigan and decided to put on soldier's clothes and serve with him until the end of the war. She enlisted in the same regiment without his knowledge and carefully hid her identity. She even went so far as to enlist in a different company from his. One of her comrades, after several months, became aware of the secret of her sex, and when he was killed In battle the girl found his body in the field. She was finally disabled by a shot in the arm and, her sex being discovered, she was sent home. Major Pauline Cushman was one of the cleverest servants the Union army had throughout the war. She was an actress who lived in Cleveland and was employed as an officer of the Union army. As scout, spy, and soldier, the girl major made a reputation second to none in the Northern army. Pauline Cushman has left a reputation only second to that of Belle Lloyd, to whom Stonewall Jackson wrote that she had saved his army. Mary Siezgle, the wife of a soldier in the Forty-fourth New York, enlisted with him and fought In the battle of Gettysburg. She served for a while as a nurse, but afterward put on male clothes and did her share In actual fighting. One little heroine of the war had the honor of being complimented in general orders. She was a fifteenyear- old girl named Schwartz, living In a farmhouse about twelve mlieB from Jefferson City, Mo. On the night of August 0, 1863, a party of bushwhackers who had heard that It was a rendezvous of Union men attacked It There were four men In the house, one being the child's father; they all fled and left her alone to confront the guerrillas. The little girl intrepidly opened the door with a revolver In her hand which the men had abandoned in their flight and said, "Come on, if you want to. Some of you will fall or I will." The bushwhackers told her that If she did not leave the doorway they would kill her. "The first one who takes a step toward this door dies," was the girl's response, and the marauders left—New York Times, Marvelous Tale of the f e 1 Monkey snd Squirrel, Chums on steamship, Commit Sulolde, Passen* gera Declare.

The story wound about the fact that the Santa Maria carried s large eoileetion of animals which Henry Bulf was brtngtnt; from the tropics to the New York Zoological perk in the Bronx.

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

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

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

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

Ac»voitab views on the transportation situation In the United States were expressed lu answer to qoeetlons by members of the committee, who asked him to apply hla knowledge of railway conditions throughout the world and of the experience of other countries with government ownership to the present problem before the Unit* eel States. "The fundamental factor In the situation Is very simple," aaid Mr. Acworth. "It lies In the fact that yon cannot gret three-quarters of a cent's worth of work done for less than threequarters of a cent, no matter whether the agency performing it is a govern* ment or private enterprise. Freight rates must advance when the cost of performing the service advances as it is doing at present, just as the price of bread or meat or any other commodity Increases with Increased coat oi production." In answer to a question Mr. Acworth said that he thought American freight rates had been at much too low a level for several years past, that they had reached this low point during the period of cutthroat competition among the roads and had since been held there by regulating bodies. Unless relief were afforded to the carriers very promptly, he said, the result would be a tremendous loss to the people of the whole country through insufficiency of transportation facilities. Weakness of Government Ownership. On the subject of government ownerahip of railwayi Mr. Acworth said: "It ia Impossible to obtain satisfactory reaulij on gOTernment railways In a democratic state unless the management !• cut loose from direct political control. Neither Australia nor any other country with a democratic constitution—perhaps an exception ought to b t made of Switzerland—has succeeded in maintaining a permanent severance.

Red Cross Society To Be Organized Under the reorganization of the State of Michigan with the County unit system it becomes necessary to organize a Livingston County Chapter if any Red Cross work is done in the county. The immediate object of the organization is to form branches in various parts of the county and through these branches to canvass the entire county |for members. Livingston County should secure no less than 3000 members. No field service ip required of membeea. One half of the annaal dues goes to National Headquarters for general use; the remaining half of the dues and all gifts may be retained by the Chapter or Branch to use at its own discretion; 1.-For equipping the boys of our own County who may enlist or be drafted. 2.-For any great disaster* in the County. 3.—For supplies for the soldier9 in the field. 4. —For any cause which the Chapter or Branch may decide as worthy and and belonging to Red Cross work.

The first half of the game looked very much like a shutout for Sooth Lyons the score standing 10 to 0 before they ^ere able to get a ran. The Pinckney boys put up some good batting and fielding and though South Lyons switched their battery around every way possible they could not stop the hard hitting. McClear and Shehan were the battery for Pinckney. Pinckney has not been beat«n on their home grounds this year and the prospect for a good team next year is the best ever. Hi Istein Cattle For^Sale A great many inqoiries are being received concerning Holstein cattle of all descriptions, both grades and purebreds, and in order that somej definite information may be available for Jprospective purchasers, the Livingston County Farm Bureau is preparing a list of cattle for sale. Everyone who has Holstein cattle for sale, either grades or registered is urged tolhittbem. Such a list will be of great value to the Coun ty Agent in answering inquiries and will assist owners in making gales. Buyers from other states write to ask whether there is a sufficient supply so that they can buy cattle of a certain kind or age in carload lots. During the past week a County agent from southwestern Indiana bought and shipped 83 head of calves from three to six months old. By having-some definite information to offer when inquiries are received many such buyers can be persuaded to come here to mske their selections as the supply of surplus cattle in the couuty will warrant. Furnish the information for your herd and help make the list as la*ge as possible. Repudiated National Debt*. Spain, at one time by far the most powerful of European natiffs, was the earliest power to contract a national debt, which In 1556 only amounted to the modest sum of £1,000,000. By 1610 It had grown to £40,000,000 under Philip III., after whose death the whole of it was repudiated. France in 1043 began to incur her debt, chiefly through the war* of Loui* XIV. and the lavish expenditure in building Versailles. In the later year* of Loots XVI. this amouated to £4tSS.- 000,000, only to be repudiated on the establishment of the republic, when aotne creditors received 33 per <*nt and others nothing Clark-Poole A romance which began a year ago culminated May 22nd in the marriage of Glenn L.

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

ONLY SICK AND AB8ENTEE8 EXEMPT FROM ANSWERING Prison It the Penalty of Falling to Appear Unless One la Unable, and Then Arrangements Must Bo Made*—How Interrogation* 8hould Be Answered. -•?£ *& The government has adopted a plan to facilitate and simplify the filling in of conscription registration cards June 5. Circulars containing the twelve questions to be asked and advice as to how they should be answered have been prepared for distribution. How to Answer Questions. The circular, which bears the heading, "How to Answer Questions on Kegistration Cards," reads as follows: "Questions will be asked for you to answer in the order in which they appear on this paper. These questions are set out below with detailed information to help you answer them. MDo not write on, mark or otherwise mutilate these Instructions. Do not remove them. They should be carefully read so that you will have your answers ready when you go before the registrar. •'All answers will be written on the registration card in ink by the registrar, who should be careful to spell all name* correctly and to write legibly. "1. Name in full. Age in years, "This means all your names spelled out In full. "State your age today in years only. Disregard additional months or days. Be prepared to say 'nineteen' or *twenty-flve,' not 'nineteen years three months' or the like. "2. Home address. "This means the place where you have your permanent home, not the place where you work. Be prepared to give the address in this way: '232 Main street, Chicago. Cook county, Illinois ;* that Is, give number and name of street first, then town, then county and state. Write Birth Date in Advance. "Date of birth. ••Write your birthday (month, day and year) on a piece of paper before going to the registrar and give the paper to him the first thing. Example: •August 5, 1894.' "If you do not remember the year, start to answer as you would if someone asked you your birthday, as 'August 67 Then say, *on ray birthday this year I will be (or was) years old.' The registrar will then fill in the year of birth. Many people do not carry In mind the year they were born. This may be obtained by the registrar by subtracting the age In years on this year's birthday from 1917. **4. Are you (1) a natural born citizen ; (2) a naturalized citizen; (3) an alien; (4) or have you declared your intention to become a citisen (specify which)?

If it is true that there is another mouth than your own which you alone have a duty to feed do not let your military ardor interfere with the wish of the nation to reduce war's misery to a minimum. On the other hand, unless the person you have Jn mind is solely dependent on you do, not hide behind petticoats or children. "10. Married or single (which)? Race (specify which)?

SITUATION Embarking of Brazilian Merchantmen Makes 8tat* of Neutrality Untenable, President Declares. Rio de Janerio—The chamber of deputies by a vote of 19 to 3, revoked the declaration of neutrality In the war between -the United States nad Germany. The resolution empowers President Bras to take necessary steps to protect and defend Braxil** integrity against aggression, past and prospective. The first step is expected to take the shape of a flat declaration of war. The situation strikingly resembles that in the United States prior to the final break between that country and Germany. A state of neutrality was rendered untenable, both the president and premier had informed the congress in speeches, by the sinking of a second Brazilian merchantman by a German U-boat. One of the first acts of the government will be the utilisation—not confiscation— of German vessels interned In Brazilian ports. UNCLE SAM HITS DRAFT FOES Secret 8ervlce to Arrest Agitators Against Conscription. Washington—The entire secret service force of the department of justice has been brought Into action to ferret out persons and organizations in various parts of the country who have more or less candidly urged defiance of the selective draft degistration provisions. Ever since the president signed the bill that will require more than 10,- 000,000 Americans to hold themselves ready for a call to the colors, evidence of efforts to defeat the law has been piling up. The government will demand the severest penalties upon any persons caught interfering with the operation of the registration next Tuesday. That a person is sincerely an advocate of peace and believes the conscription law "undemocratic" will not save him. Agents of the department are particularly active in New York, Illinois, parts of Missouri and on the Pacific coast, where the I. W. W. is reported to have waged a campaign against registration. ITALIANS ON WAY TO TRIEST General Cadorna'a Armies Continue smashing Advance. London—Across the prostrate body of the Hapsburg empire leads the road to final victory." An eminent military critic thus commented on the news from the Auatro- Italian front, recording smashing advances by General Cadorna's armies, especially his right wing, toward Triest Judging by reports pouring in from all sides it seemed that this comment strikingly sums up the situation as created by the Italian drive, and its consequences. The Italians have fought their way forward to within two miles of Duino, the most formidable natural barrier between them and Triest Vienna stubbornly refuses, to eoncede the Italian victories, but the map tells the story of General Cadorna's steady advance.

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

By EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington.—Everybody in Washington knows that the National Guard problem has been a vexing one f ° r the war department to solve. Some of the regiments in a few of the states never have been efficient and probably never could be made efficient under state control so long as indifference to the service continued in some places to prevail. The government is going to take over at first only such of those National Guard regiments, not already federalized, as have met with all the requirements of the law in equipment, numbers and efficiency. The National Guard regiments under the present plan—under the law, In fact—will continue to wear the badge of state service when they become a part of Uncle Sam's troops, but otherwise to all effects, purposes and appearances they will be a part of the regular army. Unless the Guard by volunteer enlistments is recruited to its full strength prior to the time that the federal government takes over such state organizations as are not enrolled in its service, the provisions of the Hay bill for recruiting the Guard organizations will be foregone, and the men needed to complete the quotas will be chosen under the selective conscription rule. This means that when the United States takes hold of the task of filling the regiments no man over thirty-one years of age will be added to the forces. The regular army authorities have been disturbed by reports from here, there and elsewhere that ambitious politicians and others were raising companies, regiments and even brigades with the idea of offering their services en masse. It was the intention of some of these organizations, if means could be found to do It, to enter the National Guard. The desire of Washington has been that the National Guard should be recruited in a way to prevent the entering Into it of cliques or sets of men whose binding tie was political, racial, (other than American) or even religious. Cavalry to Become Artillery. It has been said that some of the National Guard cavalry regiments, perhaps all of them, may be turned into field artillery regiments. There Is not much use for cavalry on the west front in the present war, although of course there must be some cavalry for emergencies. Mounted troops when they are needed will be needed badly. Artillery, however, is a prime neces*- sity, and as the troopers of the National Guard know horses and know how to ride them, they will be especially useful In artillery outfits which use horse power for changes of base and "coming into battery." The officers of the army watched the various National Guard regiments on the border closely. One Pennsylvania Infantry regiment, the Second, was by the direction of the federal authorities turned into a field artillery outfit overnight. It is far advanced now In its drill and It probably will go to France with one of the early, expeditions which the government sends to the fighting line. If such cavalry regiments of the Guard are given a change of service and of weapons, they need not worry much about delay in sending them to the scene of action. All they will have to do Is to learn their new duties quickly, and then they can rest assured that with their field guns they will be put on ships and tent overy Pus* Detreit-ftay City At the avosVraads top*** the) apiBayOHr. it of a* DtttglJB Sere of Early Participation, Within the next few weeks the regular army Is to be raised, if the volunteer method can compass it, to Its full war strength of nearly 300,000 men. If the volunteering shall fall^conscriptlve methods will be used, but the end will be the same and the regular force will have thousands upon thousands of men greener than any Guardsman who has had the state soldier's training. Regiments of the National Guard, therefore, with the regulars and on equal terms with them, probably win find themselves on the first line of the nation's offense. The one qualification necessary is to any that application is only to those Guard organisations that are fully recruited, that have met with the approval of the federal authorities and that saw service on the border. Almost unquestionably the f ederalised Guard will find ltaatt at the front as quickly as the rafulan except for those few seasoned reglmenta of the) standing army watch probably win be swat Into the flfht aaioaty. «. ,** •VJ". ''• Vs*!'.*: L2* •2&«Sf;fS S '***\ riSuS* * ' * * • • v : x What is it that has made th«. Guard's opportunity'? Two thins* have worked to the end of quick aervice for the federalized state troopsservice "on the border and the means being taken to recruit the regular army up to its full war strength. . The new regiment* for the National army in the main part are to be built up around a nucleus of men of seasoned service, but in each organization the recruits will outnumber the veterans. This means that it will take some time for most of the regiments of regulars to reach as an entirety the standard of proficiency which some of the National Guard outfits are maintaining today. Building Up the Army. A regiment of regular infantry, for instance, will be split into three battalions, and with each battalion as a nucleus, a new regiment will be constructed. Taking it on the three-battalion basis, there will be two battallions of recruits to one of veterans In the new organizations. Of course this proportion will not run through the entire army, but it will come pretty close to so doing, because virtually 200,000 men will have been added to the standing force, which at the beginning consisted of only about 100,000 men. It can be seen, therefore, readily enough that a regiment of National Guardsmen which has seen service on the border and which has been kept intact in spirit, in discipline and in drill, will for its main part be in better trim for front service than a regiment of regulars two-thirds of whom are now in the business. Of course the regular-army men will have the advantage of training given by officers of long, hard service. The recruits in the course of a few months will attain the standard of their companion regulars, and the new regiments in trim and efficiency will be equal to the organizations as they existed before being split up into small units about which to build up new formations. Russia and American Help. It is only in the most general way probably that the commission to Russia of which Ellhu Root is the chief was given Instructions. The members have, of course, a guiding principle, but they will be moved to this course or to that by conditions as they exist in Russta. With American engineers on their way to Russia and with this othei commission of "pleading and instruction" starting on its way, Washington is looking half fearfully, half hopefully to the future. What is to be accomplished by American effort in the Land of Doubt? It is known definitely that the rock on which the chief structure of hope of success is founded is that which wllJ bear up strongly the direct statements of the Americans that no democracy with hope for its future as a democratic state can afford to break faith with other democracies and to make terms with despotism. Everything which has come to the officials in Washington from Russia bears out first belief that the masses of the people of the new republic do not understand the situation as it is related specifically to a conflict be* tween democracy and autocracy. American socialists have told American nonsociallsts that millions of Russians see simply In the present situation a chance to secure peace for themselves and thereby to help in the securing of a permanent peace for the whole world. Russian Masses Must Be Taught There is the blackness of ignorance throughout a great part of Russia and for it the former czar and his men and his methods have been held responsible. The enlightenment so socialists here say, that is needed is one which will make plain to the Russians the pathway of a democracy's duty in such a war as this. American socialists, or some of them, at any rate, believs that liberty so recently founded In Russia will be lost quickly to some "Man on Horseback" If pledges to the allies are repudiated and peace is sought with Germany. Bo it is that the belief, seemingly substantial. Is that Elihn Root and his colleagues will do what they can almost on the Instant of their arrival in Russia to impress upon the leaders and the people, the worklngmen and the soldiers that the surest way to lose the gift of freedom Is to make friends with freedom's enemies. It has been held In Washington that a plan of American participation in the campaigns In Europe unquestionably would Include one for participation in the fighting on the east front Pour American army officers are accompanying the commission to Russia. One of them is a campaigner of .many years, a strategist and a man known for his persuasive powers. It seems altogether unlikely that MaJ. Gen. Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff of the United 8tates army, would have bees sent with the commission unless the intention, if Russia holds firm.

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

In some of the high plateaus or mesas of the Rocky mountains there are to be found a short distance from the edge cracks or fissures not more than four feet wide and often as much as eighty feet deep. During the terrific billiards that rage in the winter these crevices are filled to the level, and cattle and horses which are not acquainted with the country frequently drop Into them, their struggles only causing them to sink deeper and deeper. The cracks, into which the sun never penetrates, are like refrigerators, and the baplese brutes when death has come to their relief become to all intents and purposes mummies. * Life Expeetancy.

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

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

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

"But, mother," Bushrod said, earnestly, "you don't understand. This is a pedigreed pigeon. With Its pedigree it's cheap at a dollar." Bushrod Anally wheedled his mother out of the dollar and left to buy his blooded bird. He returned with the pigeon and a scrap of crumpled paper in his pocket.

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

Sam Hartman Gregory, Slioli. 3 S 1 The Pay of Recruits "In urging the enlistment of Michigan young men in the Federal service, there is one important point that the War Preparedness Board wishes to emphasize," said Secretary of State Coleman C. Vaughn in a recent interview. "The man who takes the oat h is obliged to serve only during the duration of the war. There will be no monatony and drudgery of barrack life for him after hostilities have ceased. He return* immediately to the walks of civil life. 'There seems to be some misunderstanding as to the rates of pay. The enlisted soldier i s furnished uniforms, arms and equipment. The allowance for uniforms is about 28c a day and what is not expended in clothing may be drawn in cash at the end of the en* listment period. It is possible to save, roughly, more than half of the clothing allowance. Subsistence is furnished free. "The private gets $15 a month, firstclass private $18, corporal $21, sergeant $80 and higher sergeants up to $45. The second Lieutenant is paid $1,70Q annually, the first lieutenant $2,000 end the captain $2,400. There are bonuses for foreigh service which increases the pay of all grades 20 per cent. "It must be remembered that the state, through t h e War Preparedness board, supplement* the pay of the enlisted man with a pledge to take care of his family with additional funds which the legislators voted, up te $20 a month for dependent wife or mother, and $7.50 a month for each child. Then the Red Cross ia also collecting funds for disbursement where needed. "I believe that the man with depenj dents who enlists today can be surer that those whom he leaves behind will be comfortable than has been tbe case( in any other war in our history."

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

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

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

Michigan's tax par capita has almost doubled in 10 years. Ths Michigan State Tax association report recently issued, shows that Instead of $10.37, as it was in 1*07, it is now $20.11 In the meantime, however, the wealth of the stats has more than doubled, so that there has been an actual decrease In the tax rate.

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

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

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

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

T h e weather was fine and the water w a s smooth, so that the trip, if made "That is th« vwayl" 'No, this in the w a y l " under the proper conditions, should have been comparatively easy.

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

The upshot of the matter was that Wage-Earner acknowledged Wage-Payer's superior know I edge of the river and permitted him to guide the boat. The trip was made in better time than ever before because the spirit of co-operation lent strength to the rowers' strokes. When it came time for the feast on the shore of Success, Wage-Earner wn-; agreeably surprised to find t h a t bis dish of profits w a s generous enough to appease his appetite. if the accompanying illustration «< showed a birdseye view of the shore from which the rowers started you would notice t h a t Agitator w a s con spicuous by his absence. Modesty is one of Agitator's chief virtues. He's always willing .to give Wage-Earner the credit for any trouble that has been started. Personally we think it would be safer for Agitator to refrain from hanging "VWve mads it." around the w a t e r front anyhow, for ir he is anywhere within pushing distance of the river there's going to be an awful splash when Wage Earner gets back.—C.

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

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

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

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

IRON, STEEL AND MEAT LEAD Value of Autos and Parts Amounts to About Twice the Value of Horace and Mules Shipped. (By W. L. CALNON.) T joining. According to figures just compiled the exports from Michigan for the month of April again established a high record. The total value was $29,- 847,133, an increase of $3,230,000 over the highest previous total and of $12,- 300,000 over the total for April, 1916. Iron and steel and the manufactures thereof again lead with about 40 classes, representing a total of $8,021,- 062. Meat products came next with a total of $5,864,990, of which $3,618,- 100 is in hog products and $2,097,334 is beef in various forms. There were 64 commercial automobiles sent abroad with an average value of $1,314 each and 1,362 passenger cars with an average of $693. The total value of automobiles and parts was $2,156,057. This is about twice the value of the horses and mules shipped, there being 5,409, the former valued at $949,503 and 635 of the latter figuring up to $127,000. BreadBtuffs figured up to $2,003,492, of which $1,710,905 was In corn and cornmeal and $168,991 in rye. Other food products were represented by $448,931 in fruits, mostly from California and $430,823 in vegetables, largely beans and peas. Of metals and their manufactures other than iron and steel, there were the following, mostly, It is to be presumed, for war uses: Brass, $1,271,- 416; copper, $87,905, a much smaller amount than usual; lead, $^20,728 and zinc, $396,110. The other classes lhat have over half a million each are: Chemicals, drugs, dyes and medicines, $716,210; coal and coke, $763,587; raw cotton and cotton goods, $742,944; oils $1,- 472,194, of which over half is cottonseed oil; wood and manufactures thereof $793,456. Food City Selected As Camp Site. The cantonment camp site for the Michigan-Wisconsin division of the new national army will be at Battld Creek, accordinlg to a dispatch from Washington. General Barry, commander of the central department had forwarded the recommendation of this site to the war department. Approximately 30,000 men will be called ito service from the two states and put in training there September l B t An idea of what this means to Michigan and to Battle Creek in particular can be obtained from the fact that it requires 4,000 carloads of lumber and materials to build the cantonment. One and two-story barracks will be built. After the first incremet of soldiers is called into service and trained a second increment will be called oaf next March. Bad Egga Must Not Be sold.

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

I it* FOLLOWING DISCOVERY BY ED AUSTIN AND GENERAL LONGORIO THAT DAVE LAW AND BLAZE JONES ARE RETURNING FROM MEXICO WITH GUZMAN'S BODY, CLASHING FORCES GO TO THE RIVER— PALOMA AND ALAIRE LOOK ON SYNOPSIS—Aire. Alaire Austin ia the handsome young Laistress of Las Pttlmas ranch in Texas and La Feria ranch la Mexico. She dislikes her husband, who 1» a brutal, profligate, lecherous drunkard, but she feels a strong sympathy for David Law, state ranger, when she discovers accidentally that he loves her hopelessly. There la trouble between Mexicans and Americans along the border. Law disco vera that Austin Is leagued with American horse thieves und Mexican rebels, among them Tad Lewis, who ia uriGer suspicion. Law kills a horse thief. When Law's friend, Ricardo Guzman, goes to the Mexican side to collect money due him, he is murdered by the Lew!* gang because he can give Incriminating testimony against them. Law and Blaze Jones go to the Mexican side to get Guzman's body secretly. Mrs. Austin and Paloma Jones, Blaze's daughter, are preparing to give them aid on their return to the American side when Gen. Luis Longorlo, an odious admirer of Mrs. Austin, comes to call. Ed Austin and Longorlo learn of the Jones-Law expedition. Tad Lewis is warned and his gang and Longorio's meet at the river to kill the friends of Guzman. "Eh? What are you talking about? My car is over by Morales' house." "Senor Austin Is in a great hurry," sneered someone in Spanish. "Once more he leaves all of the fighting to his friends." "That's Adolfo Urblna," panted Paloma. "I know him." Stung by this open charge of cowardice, Austin began a voluble defense, but in the midst of It General Longorlo addressed him sharply. "You will stay here, senor. Nobody leaves this place." MI told you I wouldn't be a party to the business," Ed declared hotly. "You forced me to come in the first place—" "Yes! And now I force you to stay." Longorio's stand appeared to please Lewis, who chimed in with the words: "That's right, Ed. You've got to stick, for once in your life." "What do you mean, yon nearly ran into my car back yonder?" Austin asked after a moment "Ain't that your machine yonder by the thicket V inquired Lewis. "If It ain't, whose Is It?" As no one answered, he started in the direction he had Indicated; but at that moment a man came running from the river bank, crying softly: "Look out! They come." A man passed swiftly by the crack of the half-opea door and scarcely ten feet beyond. He was followed by three others. The first of the newcomers, acting as spokesman for his party, stepped out into the moonlight and cried loudly: "Hello, menl What's goln' on here?" It was an American voice; It had a broad, slow Texas drawl. The group of plotters turned; there was a startled murmur, then Tad Lewis answered: "Hello! Who are you! What do you want?" "I reckon we must have got off the road," announced the stranger. Then he peered out across the river. "Say! Ain't that a skiff yonder?" he Inquired. "Well, it don't look like a steamboat." Lewis laughed disagreeably. "We're havin* a little party of our own. I reckon you fellows had better bent I t Understand?" The outposts that had been sent to cover the bank In both directions were now coming ia. Through the stillness of the night there sounded the thump of oarlocks. Seeing that the stranger did not seem to take his hint, Lewis raised his voice menacingly: "That's your road back yonder. It's a right good road, and Td advise yon to travel fast" But this suggestion was also ignored; In fact, it appeared to amuse the man addressed, for he, too, laughed- He turned, and the women noticed that be carried a abort saddle gun. They saw, also, that at least one of the men at his back was similarly armed. "Now, what's the hurry?" The stranger was chuckling. Suddenly he raised his voice and called loudly: "Hello, Dare! Is that yon-allr The answer floated promptly back: -Hello. Cap t Sure If s u." "Hare yon got him?" It was Blast Jones' voice which answered this d o e : "Too betr Paloma Jones was trembling now. 8be dang* to Alaire, crying; thankfully: «It«s the Bangers!

I reckon yoneH are friends of Blcardo Guzman, and you just coukhVt wait to find out about htm, eh?" Alaire, who had followed Paloma, was dose enough now to recognise the two Qusman boys s s members of the Banger party. Lewis and bis men had drawn together at the first alarm; Longorio's Mexicans had gathered about their leader. The entire sitnatioa had changed in s moment, and the Itinger captain was la control of i t Soon Dave LAW and Blase Jeues up over the river bank; they tern with surprise at in* a score of people when than four. Blaze was the first to speak. "What's all this?" be cried. He peered nearsightedly from one to the other; then his huge bulk shook with laughter: "Say, do my glasses magnify, or is this an open lodge meetin'?" "Dad! Oh. dad!" Paloma scurried to him and flung herself into his arras. "What you doln' here, kid?" the father exclaimed. "Why, you'd ought to be home and abed, long ago. You'll catch your death of cold. Is that gun loaded V Dave Law was even more amazed than his companion. Recovering from his first surprise, he took a position beside his superior officer. Captain Evans did not seem at all troubled by the disparity in numbers. One Ranger, or two at the most, had always been sufficient to quell a Texan disturbance; now that there were three of them, he felt equal to an Invasion of Mexican soil, if necessary. In consequence, he relaxed his watchful vigilance, and to Dave he drawled: "We've got most of the leading cltisens of the county, and I reckon somebody In the outfit will be able to identify Guzman." "There's no trouble about that, sir. We found him. Pedro and Raoul can make sure." The sons of Ricardo Guzman stepped forward promptly, and Law waved them toward the boat landing, where the two helpers were waiting with Rlcardo's remains. Despite the Ranger captain's easy assumption of command, the strain of the situation had not subsided, and Longorlo drew swift attention to himself when he said : "It Is fortunate that I chanced to learn of this matter. You have done me a great service, Senor Law, for I came to Romero purposely to examine Into the death of this unfortunate man. But I could learn nothing; nobody knew anything whatever about the matter, and so I became convinced that It amounted to little. Now—behold I I discover that I was deceived. Or— perhaps there still may be a mistake." Blaze Jones thrust his daughter aside and advanced toward the speaker. "There's no mistake," he declared belligerently. "I don't make mistakes when I go grave-robbln*. Don Ricardo was shot by your men. He had five thousand dollars on him, or he should have had, and he was an American citizen. Your Colonel Blanco covered the body, but he'll have a h—1 of a Job coverin* the facts. It's time we came to a showdown with your murderin' outfit and I aim to see if you've got a government in your country." "Heaven guided my hand," devoutly breathed the general. "It Is regrettable that yon used this means when a word to me would have served the purpose, for—it Is no trivial matter to desecrate a Mexican graveyard. My country, it has a government. An officer of the state of Texas, under anna, has crossed the Bio Grande. What does that mean?" Captain Evans had a sense of humor; Longorio's ominous words amused him. H8ay, general it tint the first time,* he chortled. "And you're an officer, too, ain't youf You're in Texas at this minute, and m bet If I frisked you rd find that you was under The Mexican understood English dentty well to grasp the dgnfflrsuoa of these words. After a moment's "Very well," said he. "1 am Indebted to you. Since there ia nothing more to be said, apparently, I will return [o Romero." With a bow to Mrs. Austin, who had silently watched the play of these opposing motives, he turned away, und Tad Lewis followed hira. But Duve Law had recognized Adolfo Urblnu In the crowd, and, stepping forward, disarmed hlin, saying: "Adolfo, there's a warrant for you, so I'll Just take you In." For a moment Adolfo was Inclined to resist, but, thinking better of It, he yielded with bad grace, bitterly regretting the curiosity which had prompted him to remain to the end of this Interesting affair. Tad Lewis gave hlui some comfort. "Never mind. Adolfo," he said. "They can't prove anything on you, and I'll go your ball. Ed Austin knows where you was the day that stock was stole." He and his two remaining men moved toward their automobile, and a moment later the vehicle went clattering away up the thicket road. So ended the attempt to foil the return of Ricardo Guzman's body to Texas soil. When Alulre came to look for her husband, he was gone. CULTIVATE' CULTIVATE!

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

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

THE W . C T . U . "PREPARED." The Woman's Christian Texnper- : uuce uuion, like other patriotic wumuna societies, has made quick response to the country's call. As an organization it La in a permanent state of "preparedness"—its machinery splendidly equipped for national crises, Every state and territory la thoroughly organised. Twenty thousand local units, aggregating near half a million women, spring to action at the touch of the button at national headquarters. For 35 years the W. C. T. U. has had a department of work among soldiers and sailors which has been in close touch with the federal war department Its superintendent, Mrs. Ella H. Thacher, Washington, D. C, through her associates in the state and local unions, already has emergency plans well under way. These include welfare work at training camps and mobilization centers, the supplying of electric fans and delicacies to army hospitals, the serving of coffee and doughnuts or cake and lemonade to soldiers and marines as they entrain, etc. Another department—that of general relief work—is ready to extend its services and, If demand comes, will issue detailed plans. Both these departments are to be standardised by Bed Cross rules. "The W. C. T. U. members who will most promptly and enthusiastically respond to the official plans for emergency service will be those who for many years have ardently advocated international peace," said Mrs, Anna A. Gordon, national president "They believe it Is now our duty to suffering humanity to unite with the nation In defending the principles of Christian civilization, and thus to answer patriotism's call." It goes without saying that the Woman's Christian Temperance union will use all its influence to secure the enactment of a nationwide prohibition law as a war measure. NERS MACARONI ^teter: LOOKING PROHIBITIONWARD. The government of Peru is planning for nationwide prohibition. "Strict laws are to be passed forbidding the making or the importation of drinks containing more than one and one-half of one per cent of alcohol," says Mr. Porflrio Adan of Lima, as quoted by the Christian Science Monitor. "Eventually these also will be eliminated, and the government Is even now experimenting with the production of nonalcoholic drinks which gradually can be substituted for the harmful drinks. It is estimated that nearly 75 per cent of the adult population of the republic, both men and women, are addicted to alcoholic drinks." One step in the movement was an offer by the government of $500 for the best temperance text-book to be used in the public schools. FREE PROM 8ALOON DOMINANCE. Mr. Otto F. Thum, first president of the Colorado Federation of Labor, says that prohibition has strengthened organized labor in that state, and It is in better condition than ever before. "In Denver," said Mr. Thum, **we have been for many years trying to get the boys to build a labor temple, but were always thrown down by a sinister influence—the saloons. We have 106 unions in Denver and they meet in twenty-eight different buildings. The saloons saw to It that we were not bunched In s labor temple. But now that we are well rid of the saloons we are able to get together, and in a very short time we win have a labor temple to cost about $25,000." A DANGEROUS CHEMICAL.

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

Nervous diseases, such as intractable nervous dyspepsia and lack of staying powers are a result of dosing with opiates or narcotics to keep children quiet In their infancy.

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

(1) Tbe burden of taxes m u s t be spread as far as possible over t i e whole community so as to c a u s e each individual to share in the sacrifices according to his ability to [jay and according to his share in the Government, (2) T a x e s on consumption, w h i c h are necessarily borne by the. community a t large, .should be imposed as far a s possible on articles of quu--i l u \ n r y rather Thau on those of necessity.

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

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

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

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

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

WANT ARMY TO LAUNCH DRIVE Pro-German Socialist, Attempting Peace Treaty, Ordered Expelled From Russian Soil. Petrograd, via London—The Duma in secret session has p&a&ed a resolution for an immediate offensive by the Russian troops. The resolution declares a separate peace with Germany or prolonged Inactivity on the battle front to be ignoble treason toward Russia's allies, for which future generations never would pardon the Russia of the present day. "The duma therefore considers," the resolution adds, "that the safety of Russia and the maintenance of the liberties which have been obtained lie In an immediate offensive in close cooperation with Russia's allies." The first act of the Pan Russian congress of all councils of workmen's and soldier's delegates, upon which depends the immediate destiny of Rus- Bia, inside and out, was to ratify the expulsion by the provisional government of the Swiss Socialist, Robert Grimm, who is reported to have been the medium through which the Germans attempted to arrange a separate peace with Russia. Grimm's case was taken up when the congress assembled, immediately after the delegates had elected as the'r president N. C. Tcheidse, president of the Petrograd council of workmen's and soldiers' delegates. Grimm's expulsion was approved by a vote of 640 to 121. HOOVER TOLD TO BEGIN WORK Congress' Delay On Food Bills Causes President to Order Action. Washington—Congress' delay In passing food bills has drawn from President Wilson an order directing Herbert C. Hoover, designated by the president as food administrator, to proceed immediately with organization of the new food administration Insofar as it contemplates food conservation and elimination of waste through the co-operation of volunteer forces. "While it would in many ways be desirable to await complete legislation establishing the food administration," the president wrote, "It appears to me that, so far as volunteer effort can be assembled, we should wait no longer. Arrangements for enlisting every housewife in the country as a volunteer member of the food administration have been announced by Mr. Hoover, who Intends to reach the women through state defense councils and through various women's organizations. Every woman will be taught to save food in the kitchen and how to purchase for her family. President Wilson's insistence that the food bills be speeded up caused the senate to put the food control bill first on the calendar for this week and the measure was taken up Monday, when the house alto began debate on the bill. CAMP SITE BEING SURVEYED Army Official! Inspect Cantonment Ground* at Battle Creek. Battle Creek—Engineers began work Saturday surveying a site for the army cantonment near Battle Creek. War department agents are in the city for this purpose, assisted by a corps of about a dozen surveyors from the state geological department at Lansing and the Whitney Engineering company, of Battle Creek. Sanitary Engineer S. EL Greeley, ot Chicago, is in charge. Several army officials are in the city to look over the situation. With a detailed map, such as the engineers are preparing, the army officials can select the land wanted and place the various buildings and departments. The senate has passed a bill authoring the president to start condemnation proceedings to take over land needed for cantonments or any other military purposes, but it is not thought that the president will have to resort to this procedure in the case of Battle Creek, aa plenty of land is being secured by leaae.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

New York city; has promptly pledged itself to "raise! one-fourth of whatever sum is needed," ! and is now collecting the money. Chicago has been asked for something be j tween $5,000,000 and $10,000,060, the | levy based on population and credit rating. Mr. 0. B. Towne has been appointed ! by Washington as director of the Red Cross war fund campaign, for the cen-, tral division, and has opened a drive for the money in nine states ; The money Is being* raised by sub-' scription among the various chapters and it has been arranged that each j chapter shall have one fourth of what-: ever sum it raises. Mr. Towne hopes that the country will raise enough tr give the national organization its full $100,000,000 over and above what the chapters retain. The Red Cross is compelled to raise \ Its fund from the people because it, hss RO small an endowment fund—; less than $2.oon.flOO—while Japan, for fnstajtce. has more than $13,000,000 in her fund, the income from which pays} all expenses j The money is necessary to keep up the supplies and equipment of the base boepitato, and for relief work in war. < Houston, Tox.—Joun Gaillard sold his farm at (.J^ose Creek, Tex., recently for It'ofM»oo. There were 207.7 ncree, and he reserved one-linlf acre, the ancient burial pround of the Gaillard family. The Gulf Production company was the purchaser, It owned oil leases on most of the farm from which Gaillard had been drawing a one-eiphth ruyalty since the Goose Creek oil field was opened several years ago. I^ast August gusher oil was discovered on the Gaillard place, and since then the proprietor, known as the "silent magnate of Goose Creek," has drawn a half million in royalties. It was to avoid the payment of these royalties that the oil company bought the farm outright John Gaillard is a man who speaVs only when necessary. He was born en the place forty-eight years ago. His father took up the land in the sarTy days of Texas. With wealth at Ms command, John Gaillard does not keep a telephone in the house. Hte wife likes the simple life as well as the hnsbai*!. Since 1907, when the flrst4boring for oil ac Goose Creek waa begun, John Gaihsrd has silently watched the development— and held on to his land. Hundreds of thousands of barrels have gusbid from the earth at Goose Creek since last August, and from every barrel the Gaillard family drew its royalty. If John Gaillard knows what to do with his money he is not telling any one. As one of bis neighbors remarked, "John doesn't need a gyar-deen."

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

One person invariably tells another about a medicine that helps him and in this v&y scores or even hundreds may hear of TtLhlac as a direct result 0t one bottle in a single home. 3 The first bottle of Tanlac to reach the public was sold just a little over two years ago In the thriving little city of Lexington, Ky., where 20,000 bottles of the medicine were sold In only a few months. Since that time there have been sold throughout the United States something over seven and a quarter million bottles, and a romance which has no parallel in the modern business world has begun. The Instant and phenomenal success which Tanlac won m Lexington has o&en duplicated in practically every large town, small town, tillage• aid hamlet in North America, while Havteli, Alaska, Cuba, Porto Blco and o|her American possessions have clamojred for Tanlac. ^Just a few months ago, it was an- }unced In the Atlanta papers that renty-two carloads, 265,476 bottles of l<Wt ,b« ttyk? -yafc handily J>eif6ri WlncU—To t«jt t°« w i ^ ha^e. <the; horse riddiri at a very fast gallop. stoppt&g hi» abruptly1 so that you may hetftr t b ^ r*1*"11"!? fif *iT -titf**ugto :t*M» wind pipe.

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

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

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

Unless he has traced a matter to the bedrock of certainty, a report with Mr. Sonneck is never complete, and a call at his oAce in the music division of the library found him with Ms latest published reports on the national songs on the bookcase at his side, and all heavily Interleaved with penned and penciled "annotations which bring evidence down to the very minute.

Congress was then In session In Philadelphia, debating upon that Important subject, and acts of hostility had actually taken place.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Evans, former Mayor of Birmingham. Mr. Evans is one of the best known men in public life in Alabama today, being at one time editor of one of the South's greatest newspapers, the Birmingham Age-Herald. He was also examiner of public accounts of Alabama. In telling of the benefits he had derived from Tanlac, Mr. Evans said: "For years I suffered with gastritis and indigestion in the worst form. I was habitually constipated and had pains in my shoulders and headache continually. My appetite left me almost entirely and everything I would eat hurt me. Finally I got to having awful attacks of acute indigestion, palpitation of the heart and smothering spells. For a long time I would have one or more of these spells every night and I would wake out of my restless sleep gasping for breath. "I bought a bottle of Tanlac and to my surprise and gratification I began to feel relief after the first few doses. I kept taking the medicine and now my recovery is simply the talk of Birmingham." Tanlac has done me more good than anything I ever tried. I now wake up In the morning feeling fine. "I'm telling all my friends about Tanlac and am recommending it to them, regardless of their age and trouble." Dr. G. W.

S O r e 5-.ttBMMB just £ys Coeafec*^ At Draffift* or by mail 5*« par Bottle, RAILROADS APPEAL FOR RAISE DENIED COMMERCE COMMISSION SAY8 GENERAL INCREASE IS NOT NECE88ARY. 15 PER CENT ADVANCE ASKED Eastern District Allowed to Raise Rates on Certain Commodities Approximately 14%- Washington.—The inter-state commerce commission has denied the appeal of the railroadB of the United States for a horizontal increase of 15 per cent in freight rates. In its decision the commission indicated its willingness to increase class rates in the eastern district approximately 14 per cent. Since about one-fourth of the freight handled is moved under class rates, the decision virtually allows the eastern lines about four per cent increase in gross freight revenue. Increase sought in rates on coal, coke and iron ore will be granted. The commission found, as result of extended hearings, the carriers generally show a substantial and increasing financial prosperity, and they have ample resources with which to conduct transportation. Little sympathy was given the arguments of the roads they were victims of war prices, the commission holding the carriers have profited by the mobilization of troops. The commission found in general that the effects of the Adamson 8- hour basic day and of the increased cost of fuel supplies and materials had not affected the southern and western carriers as greatly as it affected the eastern carriers. 200 FAIL AT FORT SHERIDAN Sixty Michigan Men Among Those Who Are Rejected. Fort Sheridan, 111.—Two hundred students at the officers' training camps here were notified of their failure to Qualify for commissions in the army. Most of the faults of the men are trivial—underweight or overweight, defective hearing, color blindness or near-sightedness. But in the demand for physical perfection they failed in the eyes of Major C. W. Bell, Captain Owen Meredith and Lieutenant Robert Proxmire, the examining board. Some of the men may be retained in other branches after the list sent to General Barry for approval is returned to Colonel Nicholson. That is, if they wish It. The list has not been made public, but is said to contain about 60 Michgian men. 6REE0E BREAKS WITH GERMANY New Ruler and Cabinet Declare That State of War Exists. London—Greece's active participation in the war on the side of the Allies is imminent. Dispatches from Athens detailed declaration of a state of war by the new King Alexander and his cabinet, Elutheros Venizelos. Prior to this step against the Teutons, all arrangements had been made for recall of Greek diplomats from Germany, Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey. Active expression of sympathy, which the people of Greece have always felt for the Allies, was a foregone conclusion the moment the former pro-German King Constantino stepped down from his throne.

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

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

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

Washington—The Society of Automotive Engineers, upon whose members will fall the task of standardizing America's war machinery production, from airplanes to motorcycles, have met here in war convention. These 3,000 American engineers, hundreds from Detroit, welded into a national organization by America's war needs, have established a bureau of co-operation with the government war heads. They are working night and day on the task of co-ordinatingand standardizing motor truck, motorcycle, military transport, aeroplane, coast defense, motor boat, tractor, tank and farm tractor production.

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

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

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

Also, additiosal restrictions are placed on the interstate shipment of liquors so that no liquor except for the exempted purposes may be shipped frcm a wet stste to a dry one.

C H A P T E R XVII.—Continued. —17— A litrle later Puioiua, pale and heavyeyed, stole into the room, and Dave's cheerful greeting awoke Mrs. Struuge with a jerk. "So! You're feeling better, aren't you?" the latter woman cried, heartily. "Yes. How did I get here?" Dave asked. "I must have been right sick and troublesome to you." Palorna smiled and nodded. "Sick I Why, Dave, you frightened us nearly to death .' You were clear out of your head." Mrs. Strange broke into his frowning meditation to ask, "How long since you had a night's sleep?" "I— Oh, the prosecutor at Brownsville ain't let me alone a minute for a week." "Umph ! I thought so. You puzzled that pill-roller, but doctors don't know anything, anyhow. Why, he wanted to wake you up to find out what ailed you ! I threatened to acald him If he did." "I seem to remember talking a good deal," Dave ventured. "I reckon I— said a lot of foolish things." He caught the look that passed between his nurses and its significance distressed him. Mrs. Strange continued: "That's how we guessed what your trouble was, and that's why I wouldn't let that fool doctor disturb you. Now that you've had a sleep and are all right again, I'm going home and change my clothes. I haven't had them off for two nights." "Two nights!" Dave stared in bewilderment. Then he lamely apologized for the trouble he had caused, and tried to thank the women for their kindness. He was shaky when, an hour later, he came downstairs for breakfast; but otherwise he felt better than for many days; and Blaze's open delight at seeing him did him as much good as the food he ate. Dave spent part of the morning sunning himself on the porch, reading the papers with their exciting news. During his absence Palorna had done her best to spoil Montrosa, and among other murks of favor had allowed her free run of the yard, where the shade was cool and the grass fine, and where delicious tidbits were to be had from the kitchen for the mere asking. In consequence, Dave did not remain there long tmtll he was discovered. Montrosa signaled, then trotted toward him •with ears and tall lifted. Her delight was open and extravagant; her welcome was as enthusiastic as a horse could make it. Gone were her coquetry and airs; she nosed and nibbled Dave; she rubbed and rooted him with the violence of a battering-ram, and permittee! him to hug her and murmur words of love Into her velvet ears. She swnpped confidence for confidence, too; and then, when he finally walked hack toward the house, she followed closely, as If fearful that he might again desert her. Phil Strange met the lovers as they turned the corner of the porch, and warm ly shook Dave's hand. "Teeny— my wife—told me you was better," he began, "so I beat It out here, I hung around all day yesterday, waiting to see you, but you was batty." "I was pretty sick," Dave acknowledged. "Mrs. Strange was mighty kind to roe." "Sick people get her goat She's got t way with 'em andwlth animals, too. Why, Rajah, the big python with our show, took sick one year, and he'd have died sure only for her. Same with a lot of the other animals. Shu knows more'n any vet I ever saw." "Perhaps I needed a veterinary instead of a doctor," Dave smiled. "I guess I've got some horse blood in me. See!" Montrosa had thrust her head under his arm and was waiting for him to scratch her ears, "Well, I brought you some mail," Strange fumbled In his pocket for > small bundle of letters, explalolu^. "Blase gave me these for you as 1 passed tbe post office." Dave took the letters with a word of than**, and thrust them carelessly into his pocket. "What seems to be tbe trouble 7* be inquired. "You remember our last talk? Well, t h e n Mexicans have got me rattled. I1** been trying everywhere to locate yog. If yea hadn't come borne Td have Cooe to the pfotecutlnf attorney, or might be a danger threatening Alairt>; and If BO, It was time to act. Phil watched his friend saddle the bay mare, theu as Dave tied his rifle scabbard to lta thong he laughed nervously. "You're loaded for bear." T h e h o r s e m a n a n s w e r e d , g r i m l y : "I'm louded for Ju.se Sanchez. If 1 lay hands on him I'll leurn w h a t he knows." "You can't get nothing out of a Mexican." "No? I've m a d e Filipinos talk. Believe me, I c a n be s o m e persuasive when I try." With that he s w u n g a. leg i over Montrosa's back and rode a w a y . "Then you've learned something more?" Phil nodded, and his sallow face puckered with apprehension. "Rosa Morales has been to see me regular." Dave passed an uncertain hand over his forehead. "I'm not in very good shape to tackle a new proposition, but —what is it?" "We've got to get Mrs. Austin away from here." "We? Why?" "If we don't they'll steal her." "Steal her?" Dave's amazement was patent. "Are "you crazy?" "Sometimes l think I am, but I've pumped that Morales girl dry, and I can't figure anything else out of what she tells me. Her and Jose expect to make a lump of quick money, jump to Mexico, get married, and live happy ever after. Take it from me, It's Mrs. Austin they aim to cash in on." .^ "Why—the idea's ridiculous!" "Maybe it is and maybe it ain't," the fortune-teller persisted. "More than one rich Mexican has been grabbed and held for ransom along this river; yes, and Americans, too, if you can believe the stories. Anything goes In that country over there." "You think Jose is planning to kidnap her? Nonsense 1 One man couldn't do such a thing." "I didn't say he could," Phil defended himself, sulkily. "Remember, I told you there was somebody back of him." "Yes, I remember, but you didn't know exactly who." "Well, I don't exactly know yet I thought maybe you might tell me." There was a brief silence, during which Dave stood frowning. Then he appeared to shake himself free from Phil's suggestions. "It's too utterly preposterous. Mrs. Austin has no enemies; she's a person of importance. If by any chance she disappeared—" "She's done that very little thing," Strange declared. "What?" "She's disappeared—anyhow, she's gone. Yesterday when I saw you was laid up and couldn't help me, I phoned her ranch; somebody answered In Spanish, and from what I could make out they don't know where she Is." Dave wondered If he nad understood Strange aright, or if this could be a trick of his own tired brain. Choosing his words carefully, he said: "Do you mean to tell me that she's missing and they haven't given an alarm? I reckon you didn't understand the message, did you?" Strange shrugged. "Maybe I didn't Suppose you try. You sabe the lingo." Dave went to the telephone, leaving Phil to wait. When he emerged from the house a few moments later, It was with a queer, set look upon his face. "I got 'em," he said. "She's g o n e - left three days ago." "Where did she go?" "They wouldn't tell me." "They wouldn't?" Strange looked up sharply. "Wouldn't or couldn't" The men eyed each other silently; then Phil inquired : "Well, what do you make of it?" "I don't know. She wasn't kidnaped, that's a cinch, for Dolores went with her. I—think we're exciting ourselves unduly." The little fortune-teller broke out excitedly: "Yes we are 1 Why do you suppose I've been playing that Morales girl? I tell you there's something crooked going on. Don't I know? Didn't I wise you three weeks ago that something like this was coming off?" It was plain that Phil put complete faith In his powers of divination, and at this moment his earnestness carried a certain degree of conviction. Dave made on effort to clear his tired brain. "Very well," he said. "If you're so sure, ril go to Las Palmas. m find out all about it, and where she went. If anybody has dared to—" He drew a deep breath and his Ustlessness vanished ; his eyes gleamed with a hint of their customary fire. "I reckon Pre got one punch left in me." He turned and strode to his room. As Dave changed into his service clothes he was surprised to feel a new vigor in his limbs and a new strength*) of purpose In his mind. When he stood in his old boots and felt the familiar drag of his cartridge-belt, when he tested his free muscles, he realised that he was another man. Even yet be' could not put much faith la Phil Strange's words nerertheleaa, there C H A P T E R X V I I I . A Surprise. Law found it good to feel a horse between his knees. lie had not realized until now how long Montrosa's saddle had been empty. The sun was hot and friendly, the breeze was sweet in his nostrils as he swept past the smiling fields and out into the mesquite country. Heat waves danced above the patches of bare ground; Insects sang noisily from every side; far ahead the road ran a, wavering course through a deceitful mirage of rippling ponds. It was all familiar, pleasant; it was home. With every mile he covered his strength and courage increased. Such changes had come into his life since his last visit to Las Palmas that it gave him a feeling of unreality to discover no • alteration in the ranch. He had somehow felt that the buildings would look older, that the trees would have grown taller, and so when he finally came in sight of his destination he reined in to look. Behind him he heard the hum of an approaching motor, and he turned to behold a car racing along the road he had just traveled. The machine was running fast, as a long streamer of choking dust gave evidence, and Dave soon recognized It as belonging to Jonesville's prosecuting attorney. As it tore past him its owner shouted something, but the words were lost. In the automobile with the driver were several passengers, and one of these likewise called to Dave and seemed to motion him to follow. When the machine slowed down a half-mile ahead and veered abruptly Into the Las Palmas gateway, Dave lifted Montrosa to a run, wondering what pressing necessity could have induced the prosecuting attorney to risk such a reckless burst of speed. Dave told himself that he was unduly apprehensive; that Strange's warnings had worked upon his nerves. Nevertheless, he continued to ride so hard that almost before the dust had settled he, too, turned Into the shade of the palms. Yes, there was excitement here; something was evidently very much amiss, judging from the groups of ranch-hands assembled upon the porch. They were clustered about the doors and windows, peering in. Briefly they turned their faces toward Law; then they crowded closer, and he perceived that they were not talking. Some of them had removed their hats and held them In their hands. Dave's knees shook under him as he dismounted; for one sick, giddy instant the scene -swam before his eyes; then he'ran toward the house and up the steps. He tried to frame a question, but his lips were stiff with fright. Heedless of those in his path, he forced his way into the house, then down the hall toward an open door, through which he saw a room full of people. From somewhere came the shrill wailing of a woman; the house was full of hushed voices and whisperings. Dave had but one thought From the depths of his being a voice called Alalre's name until his brain rang with it A bed was in the room, and around it was gathered a group of white-faced people. With rough hands Law cleared a way for himself, and then stopped, frozen in his tracks. His arms relaxed, his fingers unclenched, a great sigh whistled from his lungs. Before him, booted, spurred, and fully dressed, lay the dead body of Ed Austin. Dave was stitl staring at the master of Las Palmas when the prosecuting attorney spoke to him. "God! This is terrible, isn't It?" he said. "He must have died Instantly." "Who—did i t ? ' "We don't know y e t Benito found him and brought him in. He hasn't been dead an hour." Law ran his eyes over the room, and then asked, sharply, "Where is Mrs. Austin?" He was answered by Benito Gonzales, who had edged closer. "She's not here, senor." "Have you notified her?" Benito shrugged. "There has been no time, it all happened so quickly—" Someone interrupted, and Dave saw that it was the local sheriff—evidently It was he who had waved from the speeding machine a few moments before. *Tm glad you're here, Dave, for you can give me a hand. Tm going to round up these Mexicans right away and find out what they know. Whoever did it hasn't gone far; so yon act as my deputy and see what you can learn." When Dave had gained better control of himself be took Benito outdoors and demanded fall details of the tragedy. With many lamentations and lncoherencies the ruage boss told whut he knew. Ed had met his death within a halfmile of Las Palmas as he rode home for dinner. Benito, himself on his way to the house, had found the body, still warm, near the edge of the pecan grove. He had retained enough sense to telephone at once to Jonesvllle, and then—Benito hardly knew whut he had done since theu, he was so badly shaken by the tragedy. "What time did it happen?" "It was noon when I came in." Dave consulted his watch, and was surprised to discover that It was now only a few minutes past one. It was evident, therefore, that Benito had indeed lost no time, and that his alarm had met with instant response. "Now tell me, who did it?" Benito flung his hands high. "God knows! Some enemy, of course; but Don Eduardo had many." "Not that sort of enemies. There was nobody who could wish to kill him." "That is as it is." "Haven't you any suspicions?" "No, senor." "You say Mrs. Austin is gone?" "Yes." "Where?" "I don't know." Dave spoke brusquely : "Come, Benito ; you must know, for your wife went with her. Are you trying to keep something back?" "No, no! As God is my Judge!" Benito declared. "I didn't know they were going until the very last, and even then Dolores would tell me nothing. We were having bad times here at Las Palmas; there were stormy scenes yonder in the house. Senor Ed was drinking again, you understand? The senora had reason to go." "You think she ran away to escape him?" "Exactly." Dave breathed more easily, for this seemed to settle Strange's theory. The next instant, however, his apprehensions were doubled, for Benito added: "No doubt she went to La Feria." Law uttered an incredulous exclamation. "Not there! Surely she wouldn't go to La Ferla at such a time. Why, that country is ablaze. Americans are fleeing from Mexico*" "I hadn't thought of that," Benito confessed. "But if she didn't go there, where did she go? Saints above! It Is a fine condition of affairs wh^n a wife keeps secrets from her husband. | eh? I suppose Dolores feared I would tell Don Eduardo, God rest his soul! This much I do know, however; not long ago there came a letter from General Lougorio, offering settlement for those cattle he stole in his government's name. Dolores told ^ne the senora was highly pleased and was going to Mexico for her money. It was a mark of Longorlo's favor, you understand me? He's a 'great—friend, an ardent admirer." Benito winked. "Dolores told me all about that, too. No, I think they went to La Feria." Dave remembered his first conversation with Phil Strange and the fortuneteller's insistence that some powerful person was behind Jose Sanchez. More than three weeks ago Strange had forecast something very like this murder of Ed Austin. Dave felt as If he were the victim of an hysterical imagination. Nevertheless, he forced himself to ask. quietly: "Is Jose Sanchez anywhere about F* The range boss shrugged. "I sent him to the east pasture this morning." "Did he go?" "Eh? So! You suspect Jose of this. God in heaven! Jose is a wild boy— But wait! I'll ask Juan if he saw him; yes, and Victoria, too. That is Victoria you hear squalling in the kitchen. Wait here." Benito hurried away, leaving Dave a prey to perplexity; but he was back again In a few moments. His face was grave. "Jose did not go to the east pas* ture," he said. "Where is he now?" "No one seems to know." Law walked to his horse, mounted, and galloped away. Benito, who watched him. saw that he turned toward the river road which led to the1 Las Palmas pumping plant The more Dave thought about B Austin's death, the more certain he became that it was in some way connected with Alaire's disappearance; and the loose end by which the tangle might be unraveled, it seemed to him, lay in the hands of Rosa Morales, Jose's sweetheart. That Sanche2 was the murderer Dave now had little doubt; but since the chance of apprehending him was small, he turned his attention to the girl. He would make Rosa speak, he told himself, if he had to use force—this was no time for gentle methods. If she knew aught of Alalre's whereabouts or the mystery of her departure from Las Palmas, he would find a way to wring the truth from her. Dave's face, a trifle too somber at all times, took on a grimmer aspect now; be felt a slow fury kind* ling ta his breast. (TO BH CONTINUED.) Valley ef Humiliation.

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

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

The ex-convict who recently testified that he, a mere unsophisticated rounder of thirty or more, was lured, into stealing from his employers by a woman to- whom he gave part of the money, reminds me of a boy who wan brought Into a prison in New York one afternoon In July 1860. As the turnkey led him along the youth saw in a cell a man with a smooth, shrewd, somewhat hard face. The boy stopped and addressed the man in the cell. "You," he cried, "are the cause of my being here!" "How comes that?" inquired Hicks the pirate, for the man In the cell was none other. "Why," said the hoy, "I stole $5 to hrre a boat so I counld go down to Bedloes Island tomorrow and see you hanged."- New York Sun.

Tactful Dam Builder. In speaking of the river regulations of the ancients Sir William Wllicocka, the noted English engineer, said: "Cyrus the Great controlled the Qyndes, t tributary of the Tigris, la a truly original manner. Babylonia waa already peopled, and lands were needed for his Persian .troops. The Gyndee discharges 40,000 section feet and runs thirty feet deep in a sandy and mobile bed. He could build no regulator, so be dug thirty canals, divided the waters of the river among them, closed the river by an earthen dam and completely controlled it. As he could never have Induced his wild soldiers to dig these canals for any useful purpose, he took advantage of the fact that his favorite borse had been drowned In the flood and urged his soldiers to dig the canals and dissipate the waters of the river in such a fashion that it could never again drown a horse."—Detroit Free Press.

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

Man or W i f e May Make C l a i m . Claims for exemption because of dependents may be made by the man himself, his wife* or other dependents, or by a third party who has personally Investigated the case. A claim made by the husband must be accompanied by supporting affidavits signed by the wife and by the head of a family residing in the same territory. A claim by the wife or a third party must be accompanied by two supporting affidavits signed by heads of families. Similar rules govern claims on the grounds of other dependents when the dependents or third parties being authorized to file claims with supporting affidavits. In each case the board must be satisfied before It grants exemption or discharge that the dependent or dependents actually are supported mainly by the fruits of the man's mental or physical labor. Local boards are required, subject to appeal, to pass upon claims for exemption or discharge within three days after the filing of affidavits. District boards must decide appeal cases within five days after the closing of proofs and their decisions #re final. If the ruling of a local board Is affirmed the person In question stands finally accepted for military service. In passing on claims for exemption on the ground of employment In necessary industrial and agricultural occupations the district boards must be convinced that the particular enterprise affording such employment actually Is necessary to the maintenance of the military establishment of national interest during the emergency. "The evidence must also establish," the regulations say, "even If the particular industrial enterprise or particular agricultural enterprise Is found necessary for one of the above purposes, that the continuance of such person therein is necessary to the maintenance thereof and that he cannot be replaced by another person without direct, substantial material loss and detriment to the adequate and effective operation of the particular Industrial enterprise or agricultural enterprise In which he is engaged." May Oeslgnate Certain Industries. Later the president may from time to time designate certain industries or classes of industries that are necessary and the district boards will be so notified. It will be the duty of each board, however, to ascertain the available labor supply for such Industries outside the men called for military service and to take the result into consideration in determining such things. "If, In the opinion of the district board,** this section of the regulations concludes, "the direct, substantial, material loss to any such industrial or agricultural enterprise outweighs the loss that would result from failure to obtain the military service of any such person, a certificate of discharge may be issued to him X-X XT Certificates of exemption will not necessarily be permanent They may be revoked with changing conditions, or may be granted only for prescribed Washington—Government control ot American exports, authorized in a provision of the espionage act, was ordered put into operation July 15, by President Wilson, in a proclamation putting under license shipments to all countries of the most important export commodities. In a statement accompanying the proclamation, the president declared the government's policy will be first to give dsjsideratlon to American needs; next, to supply the neutral countries wherever practicable. It is made clear that every effort will be made to see that no supplies reach the central powers. Government Controls A l ! Shipping. Through control of coal and fuels the government intends to take a firm grasp on shipping. An arrangement under negotiation will give the American and British governments control of not only all Allied tonnage, but of neutral vessels as well. Primarily, the embargo was issued to check the export, of foodstuffs to neutrals adjacent to Germany. The president is determined no more sustenance shall reach enemies of the United States through these mediums. The proclamation does not mean that none of the commodities named may not be exported. They may be exported only in such quantities as: K To relieve the stringency and high prices In our own country. (2. To effectually prevent neutrals from sending any possible surplus Into Germany. 3. To-provide, so far as possible, an equal distribution of the food, fuel and iron supplies among the allied nations. The first effect of the proclamation will be the immediate organization in London of the buyfhg council of the Allies. Once established, this council will proceed with the purchase of wheat through one central agency and its allotment to all the countries of the world outside the central powers. The council immediately will establish an agency In the United States for the purchase of our wheat. It is probable the federal food administration will be asked to perform this function under the direction of Herbert C. Hoover. CHINESE EMPEROR ABDICATES Quits T h r o n e A f t e r Defeat of I m p e r i a l Troops, By Republicans. London—A dispatch from Pekin announcing the abdication of Tsuan Tung the young emperor, who was put back on the throne by General Chang Hsun, is corroborated by a cablegram received Saturday from Reuter's correspondent there. It appears that General Chflng Hsun, depressed by the failure of his attempt to restore the monarchy tendered his resignation to the emperor, who thereupon Issued an edict announcing his abdication. The abdication ot Hsuan Tung, who was placed on the throne only a week ago, it is Indicated by press dispatches received here from Pekin, followed upon the defeat of the Imperialistic forces by republican troops at Lang Fang, south of Pekin, and the desertion of many of Chang Hsun's soldiers. TAX CLERK DEFAULTS $16,000 W a y n e County Treasury Employe Appropriates Mortgage Tax Funds. Detroit—An amazing story of how a clerk in the county treasurer's office got away with more than $16,000 of tax funds without even arousing suspicion against himself, and while on a salary of $1,500 a year piled up a fortune of $80,000, came to light Saturday night when the board of county auditors announced an agreement with Anthony J. Kloka, former mortgage tax deputy. For the auditors, Charles A. Buhrer said that Kloka had acknowledged a shortage of $16,402, and that he had put up in cash and securities $20,347 to cover this, and any other shortages which may subsequently appear. The auditor declared that neither the county nor the state, which shares equally the mortgage tax receipts, would lose a cent from Kloka's admitted speculations. $ Tersely Told < Marietta—Helen D.

Battle Creek—At least 12 Battle Creek boys are with the troops ot General Pershing 'somewhere in France," according to a letter received by Clarence F. Baldwin, from his son, Charles F. Baldwin. CharleB F. Baldwin and his brother, Harold W., enlisted here May 7, and were sent to McAllen and Kingsville, Tex., after' their preliminary training at Columbus, O. Battle Creek—Information that Battle Creek's Red Cross company, now in an" eastern camp, will not be assigned to general ambulance work, but will be made the nucleus of a base hospital unit for early sailing to France, was received here from First Sergeant Milton Seekins, temporarily in charge. It is believed Dr. James T. Case, captain of the company, now en route, will be made the head of this unit which will include 250 men and 50 women. Dr. Case was one of the chief surgeons of the local sanitarium. Muskegon—To aid in the nationwide campaign to raise a fund among marksmen of America for the establishment of an entire ambulance unit at the front in France, the West End Gun club of Muskegon held a patriotic shoot with marksmen from Grand Rapids, Whitehall, Montague, Grand Haven, Shelby, Hart, Pentwater, Ludington and other western Michigan cities and towns taking part in the competition for honors. The proceeds of the entry fees from the event turned over to the national association, in order that an entire ambulance unit may be properly manned and equipped. Grand Rapids—Elaborate preparations are under way here for the celebration of Navy Day on July 14.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

As soon as signs of scours are noticed it is recommended that the milk be reduced to one-half, snd that a teaspoonfnl of dried blood be added to the milk fed. No dried Wood that has not b^en thoroughly stclliaed should be used. In severe cases of scours, the addition of one or two eggs with the dried blood has been found to be very effective. In severe cases, it is recommended that the calf be given one or two ounces of castor oil In the morning which is followed in nhout 12 hours by 1.1 drops of laudanum and a tea spoonful of dried blood.

On the 28th day of June, the Bix witnesses, all but one living in or near Dexter, rented two boats of Mr. Bsown, and not knowing on whos portion of the lake they were on, rowfed to Jacob Broas' side of the lake and began to ft»fe. After awhile the defendant* rowed out to the boot containing t h e Messers Eck, Stole and Wooster and asked them ''who gave them permission to fish on that side of the lake?" They replied t h a t , no one had, but if they were trespassing they would leave. They were given permission to fish. Mr. Bell testified that the defendants then rowed to the boat containing Mr. Wheeler, Mr. Howard and himself and demanded fifty cents for fishing there. Mr. Bell told them to come and get it. After which a short conflict ensued in which both parties were considerably beaten up. Mr. Brown testified that the defendants tken came toward his boat and he told them not to touch it. Mr. Kroas Sr. had a stick in his hand which Mr. Brown seized and pulled away from him and began to use the same upon Mr. Broas, baeaking it in several pi-ces. •Louis Brora then struck Mr. Brown "with the oar breaking the same, and cutting Mr. Brown's hat.

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

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

The reichstag labors for peace and mutual understanding and lasting reconciliation among the nations. "Forced acquisitions of territory and political, economic and financial violations are incompatible with such peace. "The reichstag rejects all plans aiming at an economic blockade and the stirring up of enmity among the peoples after the war. The freedom of the seas must be assured. Only an economic peace can prepare the ground for the friendly association of the peoples. "The reichstag will energetically promote the creation of International juridical organizations. "So long, however, as the enemy governments do not accept such a peace; so long as they threaten Germany and her allies with conquest and violation, the German people will stand together as one man, hold out unshaken and fight until the rights of itself and its allies to life and development are secured. The German nation united is unconquerable. "The reichstag knows that in this announcement, it is at one with the men who are defending the fatherland; in the heroic struggles they are sure of the undying thanks of the whole people." MAY SEND MISSION TO . U. S. TO NEGOTIATE SUPPLIES FOR ARMY DR. GEO. MICHAEL'S SUCCEEDS HOLLWEG WAS UNDER SECRETARY OF FIN» ANCE FOR PRU8S1A AND PRIVY COUNCILLOR. ELEUTHERIOS VENIZELOS. Washington—A Greek mission may be sent to the United States, not only to negotiate for supplies for this army, but also to present Greece's situation as to the general world reconstruction after the war. For the present, it is probable Greece will be munitioned by Allies, who have stocks already on hand, but for the future and as far as general credits are concerned, it is probable the Athens government will wish td deal direct with this country. I. W. W. HEADQUARTERS RAIDED WHOLE HOLLWEG CABINET FALLS Kaiser Also Accepts Resignation of Qen. Von Stein, Prussian M i n - - ' later of War. Americans Armed With Guns Drive Foreigners to Railway Station. DETROIT MAY BUILD AIRPLANES Secretary Daniels to Ask Congress for Money to Build Hugs Factory. Washington—A million dollar airplane factory for Detroit Is in the mind of Josephus Daniels, secretary of the nary. The secretary, like the -war department, says he recognises the superior advantages of an automobile center like Detroit in the manufacture of flying machines. The secretary has not yet the means to build his factory, but says he will ask congress for the money. It now is the navy department policy to equip the fleet with airplanes and never to send It to sea without this adjunct. This applies not alone to the battleship fleet, bat also to the light flotillas of destroyers, torpedo boats and submarine chasers. Secretary Daniels Is convinced that the sirplane will be one of the most effective weapons with which to meet a submarine attack, and especially should submarines attempt aggressive action on this side of the Atlantic Kansas City, Mo.—Police and militiame% raided newly established I. W. W. headquarters here and confiscated a small arsenal of revolvers and rifles. More than 500 rounds of ammunition also was seized. A score of industrialists were taken into custody and are being held on charges of investigation. Some of them showed a desire to become ugly, but rough handling subdued them. ^ Drive Foreigners Out. Flat River, Mo.—About 700 foreignborn laborers were forced out of the St. PrancoiB county lead belt by American- born miners, who insisted that all the foreigners must leave. The Americans, armed with shotguns, and carrying American flags, rushed the foreigners to the railway station every time a train came in. The Americana fired into the air as they herded the foreigners to the trains. No one has been seriously hurt. Calumet Citizens Ask Aid. Lansing—A telegram from Calumet citizens asking for aid against a possible I. W. W. uprising after the Michigan guardsmen are called from here, was received by Governor Sleeper. He arranged with the war preparedness board to have three companies of state troops organized at Calumet mustered in. Reports from Menominee and Escanaba indicate that state troop units are being rapidly organised there to quell I. W. W. agitation which is generally feared throughout the copper country. London—Kaiser Wilhelm has accept* ed the resignation of his Imperial chancellor, Theobald von Bethmann- Hollweg, and has appointed Dr. Georg Michaelia, under secretary of finance for Prussia and a privy councillor, in his place. An official German wireless dispatch with this information was announced by the British admiralty. No further details were given. Undoubtedly, however, the whole Hollweg cabinet has fallen. Official confirmation was had earlier that the Prussian minister of war, General von Stein, had resigned and that his retirement ham been approved by the raiser. The resignations of all the Prussian cabinet were formally tendered the kaiser several days ago, when the German political situation became acute. The emperor delayed acceptance dispatches from Berlin mentioned that neither Minister of the Interior Helfferich, nor Minister of Instruction Solz, of the Prussian ministry, had been in attendance at recent meetings of that body, indicating their imperial master had dropped them from his official list of councillors. Germany's censorship has concealed the full story of the political strife which has now culminated in the downfall of the empire's most astute statesman and the most powerful politician. CHILD SLAIN BY DEGENERATE Was Found Dead in Rsar of His Home; Other Brother injured. London—The Reuter correspondent at Amsterdam, under date of July 13, says the Bavarian Kurler publiahea what the Rheinische Westfalische Zeituno ealla "an almost incredible and sensational revelation," to the effect that Professor Harnaek, June 30, wrote, in a letter which he tent to Munich, an account of an interview he had had a few days previously with Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, imperial German chancellor, According to this account, the channcelior informed Professor Harnaek that his views closely approximated those of Philip Scheidemsnn, Dr. Eduard David, Social* ists, and Dr. Karl Heine, Social- Democrat, but he could not free himself entirely from the influences of the Conservatives, who must first be divided before he obtained a free hand for action. Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg said the great danger was from Germane who continued to believe in victory and added: "In the best case, It can only be a draw." Detroit—Evidently mistaking Stanley Levine, 6-year-old, for his 9-yearold sister, who was not at home, a man believed to be a degenerate dragged bim from his bed through an open window into the yard at the rear of his home, 24ft Bast Ferry avenue, and there suffocated and tilled him. While attempting to prevent Isadora, 8 years old, Stanley's brother, from crying for help after he had been awakened by the opening of the window, the man tore the boy's mouth and threatened to km him If he did not remain quiet surrounding -* ^*aW".^'?/ '•** The reformists who precipitated the crisis originally marked Hollweg for destruction purely because of his individual refusal to acquiesce in their demands for wide electoral reforms and for a pledge that Germany's peace alms do not contemplate annexations. Then later dispatches reported that the Center party revolters and the radicals whtr Joined with them to assume control in the reichstag were opposed to Hollweg's retirement, being fearful that his successor would be even less amenable to reform Influences than Hollweg. Dispatches received from Berlin, having been delayed by censor, emphasized that if Hollweg yielded to the reichstag's demands for parliamentary reform, there was no reason for him to resign on account of inability ta agree with the parliament on the question of peace aims. This would seem to indicate that Hollweg has flatly refused the parliamentary reform program. Before receipts of the official confirmation of HoUwefs retirement the newspaper Germania was quoted in dispatches here as asserting his fall "was inevitable, since the Junkers, headed ny the crown prince, were gaining the upper hand in the situation." The Germanla Is the Center party's official organ, in this connection it was moisted out that the crown prime* has been actively conferring for two or three days in Berlin, and that FleM W i w h ^ l Hindeaburg and Quartermaster General Lodondort, the two arce^aaostJes of ssfittarlem, had aeon to Borate from the front, forthe Of time in a tuf da* to the at a ttsmo < . • . • * 4 i **• V5\ **x* '*>' * v • • * tffr - » . • - > : ' "..'£»' ' - V ^ j **—> • * * * » ' TO! ;-?s: .

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

The state of Michigan has finally secured a settlement with the sand dredgers in various waters, and may be enriched about 130,000. Already Assistant Attorney General Bailie and Glenn Munshaw, representing the public domain commission, have received about $1(,000 from Detroit firms . Companion dredging sand on the west ©oast and around Isle Royal* are yet to be settled with.

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

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

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

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

I told 'era at Las Palmas that you'd rounded up the guilty party, so I reckon they'll be here in a few minutes. We'll just stretch this horse-wrangler, and save the county some expense." Law shrugged. "Do what you like with him, but—It isn't necessary. He'll confess In regulation form, I'm sure. I had to work fast to learn what became of Mrs. Austin." "Miz Austin? What's happened to her?" Dave's voice changed; there was a sudden quickening of his words. "They've got her, Blaze. They waited until they had her safe before they killed Ed." "'They?' Who are you talkln' about?" "I mean Longorio and his outfit He's got her over yonder." Dave flung out a trembling hand toward the river. Seeing that his hearer failed to comprehend, he explained, swiftly: "He'i crazy about heir—got one of those Mexican Infatuations—and you know what that means. He couldn't steal her from Las Palmas—she wouldn't have anything to do with him—so bt used that old cattle deal aa an excuse to get her across the border. Then he put Ed out of the way. She went of her own accord, and she didn't tell Austin, because they were having trouble. She's gone to La Feria, Blase." "La Feria! Then she's In for it" Dave nodded his agreement; for the first time Blaze noted how white and •set was his friend's face. "Longorio must have foreseen what was coming," Dave went on. "That country's aflame; Americans aren't safe over there. If war is declared, a good many of them will never be heart from. He knows that He's got hesafe. She can't get out" Blaze was very grave when next h« spoke. TJ&ve, this is bad—bad. 1 can't understand what made her go, Why, she most have been out of her head. But we've got to do something We've got to burn the wires to Washington— yea, and to Mexico City. We must get the government to send soldiers after her. What have we got 'em for, anyhow?** "Washington won't do anything. What can be done when there are thousands of American women in the same danger? What steps can the government take with diplomatic relations suspended?

The rheumatism got me down in bed and had me bound so hard and fast somebody had to move me about and the pain was terrible. I couldn't lift my six-months-old baby, and had to hire someone to wait on me and do my work. I was so nervous the least little thing dropping on the floor would startle me and my heart would almost stop beating. I couldn't eat any solid food at all and was in such run-down condition my baby fell off until it was just a little skeleton and fretted and cried all the time. No kind of medicine did me any good and I was getting worse all the time. "If ever a medicine did wonders, Tanlac did it for me and my little baby. I felt better in Just a few days after I began taking it. I have taken three bottles and I am not nervous in the least now and my sleep is fine and rests me. The awful rheumatic pains and misery is all gone. I can eat anything I want and my food not only gives me nourishment but my baby is as fat as a little pig and sits for hours at a time on a pallet and plays without a* whimper.

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

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

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

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

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

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