Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, Dec, 13, 1917 No. 50 RED CROSS CHRISTMAS DRIVE Big Campaign for Red Cross Members Starts Dec. 16. Beginning next Sunday with messages from tbe pulpits, there will be launched throughout the nation a mighty drive for Red Croas members . This drive will reach into every corner Of the United States and will concern itself with every individual citizen. - The good to be attained as a result of this drive, v-hich will close Chriaunas Eve., is a lied Ooas membership of 15,000,000. Livingston county is asked to furnish a ^membership of 2,000 in this drive. This means 2.000 new members, as the most of the presnt members' membership ends in April. The following statement by the war council o^ the Amoiican Red Cross states the purpose Of this drive: The war council of the American Red Cross has conceivud that a great na- ' tioual purpose will be sorved by having membership in the Red Cross almost as universal as citizenship, Although pledged as H nation to the national purpose during this great crisis, it will not be granted to a large percentage of us to play a part in the fighting branches of our country's service. All of us, however, aan be identified with the. Red Cross* whreh in these time* when whole nations are organized for warfare, is big enough and strong enough to carry some of the burden for our soldiers, our sailors and our allies. We want a Red Cross of fifteen miliion members. We want the strength j ford to ignore live stock, either from and support that will grow from this | a viewpoint of profit or patriotism, army oi members. We have set Chiisi ' After The War, What? At the threshold of thel7th. anniversary of the International Live Stock Exposition, its achievement needa no recounting. It has been a factor of prime importance in conserving and promnting the meat producing resorces of the country. Never has an industry been more in need of stimulating than at this moment and the "International" directory is redoubling its efforts in that direction. We need more animal foods and wil for many years to come. Between 1 war and avderse climatic ^conditions all overjthe world productionThaa* been reducedjc to the smallest ^volume!*irf many year9,*e3pf'i':iu!ly*whefo"£inea.-urir"! oy consumptive needs. ' * ~r Z£*' f Even if the world went on £a peace basis tomorrow, meat shortage would confront its population, and the task of recuperating flacks and herds in both hemispheres will be a work of many years. Repletion is a slower process than depletion. Whence the beef, pork and mutton to feed tha teeming multitudes of Europe apd America during the next decade are coming from, is puzzling the master minds of the industay. The "International" managraent desires to emphasise the certanity of high prices for everything in the shape of live stock or animal foods during the life of the present generation of producers. To be properly impressed with these facta, visit the 1917 International at Chicago the first week of December. To see and hear is to be convinced.

Tbe work of the American Red Cross is so weil knswn to every man, woman and child in America that it needs no explanation. W herever there is suffering and kuj&an pain to be relieved, the mighty aras of the American Red Cross is stretched oat to relieve it. The work of tie American Red Cross in the present wo rid catastrophe is so heroic in its nature and so monumental in its -scope as to be beyond the reach of words ta describe. But so far this wark baa bean far our allies. Now the American Red Cross must saye the lives of American soldiers and thereby j bring joy into American homes that! ^rould without the heroic service of the j ited Cross have been deprived of a, -father or. a sou. Thia- work takes! 'money. It will take more money as tike days go by rather than less. The least that any American can do is to become a member of the Red Cross Jjhat bis dollar may be used over therr. We must have 2,000 new members in Livingston county. WQl yon become -one?

The fuel dealers of the county inform us that there are no immediate prospects of their being able to obtain a supply in the future, and we are convinced that the fuel condition in Livingston county is critical in the extreme. In view of that condition, we feel like makii^ the following recommendations : First; That every person and family conserve to the fullest extent the supply of fuel, by curtailing the use £of fuel for heating, lights and other purposes. Second: We reommend that all rooms in houses and buildings 'of all kinds that have been heated and can be dispensed with, lie closed. Third: That the farmers refrain so far as possible, from making any application to any dealer inftthis county for coal. Fourth: That all farmers who can furnish, wood for fuel be requested to place tHe same upon the market as quickly as possible, and that the same be sold at a reasonable price. The government has seen fit to fix a reasonable price upon a i r necessities, inelud. ing aoai The price of^ wood hasgnot been fixed, bat m this critical time we behave that the farmers of ^Livingston J county aye patrioUc^noogh to provide) e ^ f o * M t W era spare at a r*ae< mab*t$rk«, and will not ask exborb!~ ttatpriejai therefor, 4. . • V Ilffc* f f e rowan**! that ;tb« TraaaoraroftheToVvanB*fc^, tb«a*m eod other pbsect for the Men Ties, 25c, 5OC. $ i o o Handkerchiefs, i0e, 25c 50c Silk Wool Neck Scarfs, 5°c to S3.00 each Kid Gloves, $ 1 7 5 and $2.00 Suspenders, 25c to 75c Cigars 25 10 box. $125 Specials Fresh Crackers, extra special 12c lb New Pack Extra Corn i 3 c New Pack June Peas, 13c Red Salmon, 25c Leader Corn Flakes, 3 pkgs. 23c 1 lb Coffee, Steel Cut, 20c Hawaian Pineapple large • cans, 25c Yeast Foam 4c Holiday Suggestions for the Ladies Holiday Suggestions for the Table Budoir Caps, 25c, 50c ¢1,00 Silk Scarfs, 76c N i g h t G o w n s , Q 8 C , $ I .

And by a n o t h e r C h r i s t m a s t h e r e may be 2,000,000 of them, a n d two years from now, so far a s a n y o n e c a n see, it may be n e a r e r I 5,000,000. F o r America hatj taken oath t h a t not until kaiserism has been blotted from the e a r t h will the war end. : T h o s e boys of ours who a r e over • t h e r e , a n d t h e others who are going, need all t h e help and e n c o u r a g e m e n t j and aid t h e folks a t home can possi-! bly give t h e m . T h a t is why the Red Cross, i n s t e a d of confining itself to giving t h e m hospital t r e a t m e n t after they h a v e been h u r t or a r e sick, is giving t h e m C h r i s t m a s trees and comfort'kitu a n d doing e v e r y t h i n g possible to m a k e C h r i s t m a s enjoyable for t h e m . Not a m a n in all "Black J a c k " Pershing's a r m y , will be without s o m e r e m i n d e r of the people at home for whom h e is fighting. Not a man in a n y one of all t h e a r m y and navy c a n t o n m e n t s scat tered all over the United S t a t e s will be without a g e n u i n e Christmas—even to a C h r i s t m a s tree. T h e Red Crosa j h a s g o n e into the S a n t a Claus busi-1 n e s s wholesale, as It goes into every-; thing it u n d e r t a k e s . And that is why every man, every woman, every child, owe it to t h e m selves and to the soldiers and sailors to , become a m e m b e r of t h e Red Cross. A c a m p a i g n is being carried on to enlist 250,000 new m e m b e r s of t h e American ; Red Cross in Michigan, making a total of 750,000. Every family in t h e s t a t e I ought be r e p r e s e n t e d . 1 It is because of the millions and millions of American boys w h o are goirg over to F r a n c e t h a t the whole Amer. lean people h a s got to join the Red Cross in helping c a r e for them. A few hundred thousand c a n be looked after by the p r e s e n t m e m b e r s h i p ; but multi-1 ply t h e m by ten or t w e n t y or twentyfive, and it takes a nation to back t h e m properly. It h a s been great sport this year t< fix up t h e C h r i s t m a s packets, and write t h e little personal note t h a t goes with each one, and picture to one's self the pleasure with which the unknown so1. dier in F r a n c e will hail the gift from the h o m e land. For there has been no real fightinK—only a trench raid or so, In which only a few lives were l o s t - fewer, In all likelihood, than would h a v e occurred in the natural course of events if they had remained in civil life. So, while t h e r e was sorrow for the brave fellows who went down fighting, and for those o t h e r s who were slain in the submarine brushes with the G e r m a n s , .there was not the overw h e l m i n g grref that c o m e s after every g r e a t battle. Next year it will be different—so different. In t h e spring—and e a r l i e r If the F r e n c h line should break at any p o i n t — P e r s h i n g will hurl his boys into the gap, and everybody knows what t h a t m e a n s . T h e r e will be fighting of t h e kind t h a t m a d e a whole world a d m i r e the men of Bull Run, and Antietam,, a n d Chancellor.-iville, and Chlckamauga, and Gettysburg, and w h e r e v e r Americans h a v e fought. T h a t m e a n s t h a t the hospital will be full of American boys whose lives depend on the work the Red Cross m u a . do—for t h e r e is no o t h e r agency that can wait on them. It m e a n s b a n d a g e s literally by the million for their wounds. It means splints and wound pads and pillows and all m a n n e r o£ surgical dressings without stint. It m e a n s pajamas and bed shirts and surgical s h i r t s — t h e kind t h a t surgeons c a n open and roach wounds without h a n d l i n g buttons. It m e a n s bed socks and b a t h robes a n d convalescent robes and all the things that invalids need. It m e a n s drugs and medicines and o p e r a t i n g i n s t r u m e n t s , and all t h e ! a p p l i a n c e s with which modern surg-j eons a r e daily performing miracles in saving lives and r e s t o r i n g t o usefulness legs and a r m s which u n d e r o t h e r m e t h o d s would have been cut off i t once. A m e r i c a n soldiers m u s t not be tor a single day without all of these t h i n g s they need. T h e F r e n c h have j been. In t h e early days of the war— | a n d it h a s been said in some l a t - r • days—word went out t h a t the F r e n c h ; a o r g e o n s w e r e operating without anest h e t i c s b e c a u s e they had none. It is bad e n o u g h to lose an a r m or a leg:, b u t n o o n e likes to think of being ti*d fast t o a t a b l e and the leg or a r m c o t off with no chloroform or either j t o g i v e t h e sufferer unconsciousness j while t h e kntf* i» wielded. | Also, within the last year, word h a s c o m a from t h e battlefields of F r a n c e | lat tike UttlB PoiluK h a d to u s e oidj »irspft0ers to stanch the blood from • _ wound*. That was because their | \Mr of **«** ^ d r u n o u t a n d no* a.ure was i.o be had. All America will agree t h a t none o^ these things m u s t h a p p e n to Pershing s boys. But it will h a p p e n unless the American people get right behind the Red Cross, and m a k e a n d ship those hospital supplies in a neverending stream. The aurgeona at the French Hospitals say t h a t sometime3 it t a k e s a whole box of surgical dr^s sings—7,000 of them—for a single wounded man. They have been so short at the F r e n c h hospitals t h a t instead of throwing t h e d r e s s i n g s away after using, they have been driven to try to clean them and use t h e m over and over. T h a t is what MaJ. Grayson M. P. Murphy had in mind a few weeks ago when h e cabled to the Red Cross that nothing on earth is now of equal imp o r t a n c e to getting a big supply of surgical supplies into F r a n c e . Unless we do, he said, disaster and disgrace a r e ahead for America—and t h e Red Cross and the A m e r i c a n people cannot afford to incur t h a t . Money is not all the Red Cross must have for this work, though it will t a k e millions of dollars. W h a t it needs most of al is ^an i m m e n s e num. ber of m e m b e r s , and t h e i r p e r s o n a l service. It needs, and h a s to have, the whole American people, fathers aud mothers, sisters and d a u g h t e r s , and the children, to back up the govern. ment and the Red Crosa In this work. T h a t is why the Red Cross wan^s 15,000,1X10 m e m b e r s in t h e country and 750,000 in Michigan. It is not so much the $2 or the $10 or the $25 or the $100 or the $1 fee t h a t m e m b e r s h i p cosis, though that has its importance. It would be even more necessary if m e m b e r s h i p did not cost a cent. But in this case the fee Is a small consideration. W h a t is needed in an a r m y of 15,000,000 true-hearted Americans who will stand back of the a r m y and navy, and supply them with everything they need to k e e p them well and c h e r r y , and to give t h e m every chance for life if they get sick or are hurt. Confidence in his backing is a mighty factor in a fellow's sprunk when he is fighting 3,500 miles from the home he is defending. Now a word about the different kinds of membership A patron mem her pays $100 in one sum, and the interest on that money a c c r u e s to the Red Cross every year. A life member pays $25 in one sum, and the interest suffices to keep his m e m b e r s h i p aJlve so long as he lives. But t h e most stress is not to be laid on these form* in this campaign because, as I have said, money is not the chief object. Everyone who can possibly afford it ought to be what is caled a "Magazine Member." It costs $2, each year, but it brings with it the Red Crosj Magazine, published every m o n t h with a wealth of pictures of Red Croat? work, and inspiring articles telling what the Red Cross is doing all around the world. For those who cannot s p a r e $2, theannual membership costs but $1, and one who has this m e m b e r s h i p is just as much a Red Cross m e m b e r as anyone, the only difference being that h? does not get the magazine.

An ancient cathedral in Havana, Cuba, in which the ashes of Christopher Columbus once rested, has escaped threatened sale and destruction. The proposed sale of the historic Columbus Cathedral by 'he ecclesiastical authorities, and its consequent destruction, aroused such opposition that the edifice, which was built in 1704, and to which in the next year the ashes of Christopher Columbus were removed from Santo Domingo, will probably soon pass into the ownership of the Cuban government as a permanent nationed monument.

FLOWER FARMING FOR PROFIT Few persons realize the enormous money value of flowers sold in the greut cities of the United States. The demand for choice flowers never fails to consume all that may be offered. They must be good, though. The city man who wishes flowers 'or a special decoration does not care how much they cost if they are of the best that can be grown. Flower-farming is an agreeable occupation. But little hired help is required. The costly adjuncts of ordinary farming are not required ; such as curing, drying, housing and storing, all necessary in the raising of the standard farm crops. The plants rapidly increase in value, and once a place Is going it continues to increase in productive capacity with each succeeding year. The peony is one of the hardiest of plants and should be grown on the flower farm. It is a hardy plant, withstanding the most severe winters without protection. The Chinese varieties are later in blooming than the nutive varieties. These are the products of centuries of crossing and have in the blooms all of the delicate shades so popular in decorative art. They must be heavily manured to produce a profusion of flowers, and the ground must be well stirred so that It will hold moisture around the roots of the plant. The blooms are fragrant, lasting and durable and when properly prepared can be successfully shipped 500 to 700 miles to market. The flowers are produced one at a time and this makes it advisable to have a large number of the plants of the same variety, so that a quantity of the blooms can be cut each day In the same state of development. The plants remain In the ground from five to seven years, when they must be taken up and divided. If planted In the fall the peony will bloom the first season, but young plants are apt to be too quick in getting out in the spring and the buds may be injured by late frost. The older plants are more sedate and keep under cover of the ground several days longer and are rarely touched by the frosts. It costs upward of $1,000 to produce an acre of full blooming plants. A field-grown cut flower must be large and durable. It must have a long stem and some green foliage. It must be a single flower perched on the top of the stem. The hardy Hydrangea fills all these requirements and besides is very suitable for the field cultivation, requiring no fertilizing in ordinary trucking soil. To get results the new wood of each year's growth must be cut away and the hush made to send forth new vigorous stems from the roots or the old tOD. In this way a great number of flowers can be secured. One thousand bushes three years old will produce 30,000 flowers. The blooms unfold slowly and a full month Is given to cut and market the flowers. Being nearly imperishable, no great effort is required to secure the crop. Often the flowers need only to be mt each two or three days. The value of the crop depends upon getting the flowers very late or very early in the season, therefore the far south, and far north sections are the locations best adapted to the cultivation for profit. The "Cork Convent." A striking curiosity near Cintra, Portugal, is an ancient convent built partially in the interior of an Immense rock, says Wide World. The convent is situated In a very isolated spot, and was formerly surrounded by a dense wood of cork trees. The convent is known as the Convent de Cortica. or "Cork Convent," for the reason that the monks' cells, chapel, kitchen and refectory are all lined with cork to keep out the damp. From 1500 to 1834 the convent was inhabited by an order of monks known as the Capuchins, a remarkable feature of their religion being that, except on certain occasions silence was obligatory. Since 1834, when the monasteries and convents of Portugal were dissolved, the convent has not been occupied, though it is open to the public, a caretaker residing there for this purpose. A Sahara of Ice. The Interior of Greenland, or the inland Ice, Is so cold that It gets virtually no rain, says Robert E. Peary in the Century, and the snow does not have a chance to melt in the lo*g sunlit day. So the snow has accumulated century after century until it has filled the valleys, and not only leveled them with the tops of mountains, hut the highest of these mountain tops have been gradually buried hundreds and even thousands of feet in Ice and snow. Today the interior of Greenland, with its 1,500 miles In length and Its 700 miles-In maximum width, rising from 4,000 to 9,000 feet or more above sea level, is simply an elevated and unbroken plateau of cony pacted snow.

Salad for Game.—There is no salad (which never outwears its welcome) like head lettuce with a snappy, wellseasoned French dressing. Good oil and good vinegar and a fine sense of taste in seasoning will make such a salad a creation. Venison is delicious served as a brown stew, Brown it in hot fat in an iron kettle, then simmer with a little broth seasoned with a few finely chopped vegetable like carrot, turnip and onion.

Preserved Ginger.—A delightful substitute for preserved ginger may be made using white carrots or the yeh low if the white are not obtainable^ they will taste as good but not loolc as much like the real ginger. Boll the carrots for ten minutes, then scrape off the outside layer and quarter them lengthwise, cut in quarterinch lengths, discarding the points and core. Boll until tender, changing the water several times to remove the carrot flavor. To one pound of carrots so prepared add two pounds of sugar, one quart of water, two ounces of green ginger root shaved fine and the grated rind und Juice of one lemon. Boll for fifteen minutes.

THE USELESSNESS OF WANT The fear frequently expressed that tbia country may come to want should be perfectly useless fear. There is no logical reason why the United States should not produce ample for her own wants and the needs of her allies. We have the land upon which to grow the crops and a climate that renders any- • thing approaching a crop failure an ; imposaibilety. All that remains is for | the^American 'people to apply them- : selves to the task. But it is at this point that the trouble arises. $ For several decades , now the • people have been gradually deserting I agriculture for the industrial pursuits. i Agriculture has been at a discount and the farmer regarded as somewhat i inferior clay. Thousands of young me?, if not trained in the profession, , adopted the mechanical trades till the farms have become almost deserted, The result was only to be expected, 1 and naturely the industrial ranks were : unduly^, swelled at the same time. Nothing save thej over-abundance of ' mechanical labor is respcnsiable for fhe fjreat labor diaturbanc" of the past half century. Labor ir. ar:y line, when .t becorr.c:- too plentiful, must either rr^crt to oonipetition it. order to Kurvieve. In this|i;;star.( e it chose ' union, and thi.- result we have se.:\ i From this time on, there should be a systematic effort on the part of the | great labor unions to curtail the number of recruits to their rahks. Young men should be diacourageti from deserting the farms to engage in the trades. The farm3 need* them and should have them, There ia room for several millions more young I men on the farms of this country, and then the land wouldfnot,be overcrowded. A more equitable digtribution of labor would result In great good~to all , parties concerned. The farms would benefit by the added forces, while the trades would benefit no less by the withdrawal of a surplus of labor that is an endlesB sourse^of .^trouble and strife. We have reached a point when a great readjustment is up to the leaders "f the labor world. We,are told,the allies' greatest nc<,d us big guns. ;Weil, we ought to be able to furnish them with, ail the "big guns'\they need. We've been hearing them roar here all our lives.

SELECTS TO GET COMMISSIONS N a m e * of a Number of Drafted Men a t Camp Cueter Entered for Officers' Training Course. Lana la*. The delegates to the State Association of Farmers' clubs, who attended the meeting at Lansing last week, pledged complete support of the farm era they represented, to all the national administration's programs, including food conservation and increased acreage. A number " of speakers severely scored thte farmers for the part they have thus far taken in war prepara tions. George W. McCormick, of Menominee, head of the sugar plant there, and a member of the food preparedness committee, told of the arguments he and others had met with last spring when trying to convince farmers to increase acreage. "I hope that the man or men who run that campaign next year will not have to hear from the farmers the two cries we heard—shortage of labor for harvest and an uncertain price," said Mr. McCormick. "Put in the crops, and we will see to it somehow that they are harvested. And you must, we all must, stop this silly talk about how much we are going to ge: for things. A man after this war is over will not be measured by dollars and cents, but by the service he has rendererd to his country." Governor Sleeper, Rev. Orlo J. Price, of Lansing, and President R. S. Wilbur, of Leland Stanford university, all called particular attention to some charge which had bpen made against the rural citizen for his "slackness' in war assistance. Then the delegates turned in and pledged th^tr unswerving loyalty t) the government. Y. M. C. A. Popular Spot at Cueter. The second monthly report of the army Y. M. C. A. in Camp Custer demonstrates in figures the place which this organization holds in the daily Ufa of the 25,000 recruits who call this home. No mere report can tell of the place which the army "Y" holds in the heart* of the men, of the unnumbered kindnesseb which it performs and of the value of the home atmospheie which it fosters and preserves. But the Y. M. C. A. executive board feels that it owe* the public an accounting of its stewardship and has arrange-J to render (monthly accounts of ita activities. During November the estimated attendance in all huts waa 648,170. There were 23 lectures, attended by 6,444. At 97 educational classes 6,361 were present. Three educational clubs were formed and 3,282 books were loaned. At the different athletic exercises there were on hand 16,441. In all, 55 religious meetings were held with an attendance of 14,723. At 74 bible classes 2,226 were present. Secretaries distributed 1,656 copies of the scriptures, while there were 912 personal Christian interviews. From these talks 259 Christian decisions resulted. At the 47 entertainments. 18,321 were cared for. To the 77 movie shows were attracted 40,866. In the auditorium were held eight religious meetings, with an attendance of 7,700, while 7,879 attended 10 social entertainments. The secretaries sold $45,- 580 in money orders and 551,701 letters .vere wrftten. Cutter Has Over 100 Bakers. One uf the most persistent lies circulated about Camp Custer has been that the men were underfed and that in order to get a good meal they must purchase it themselves. As good bread is one of the most essential food properties, it may be interesting to read ot its making in camp: A company of 101 men, known as the Three Hundred and Tenth Bakery company, have charge of the bakery and do all the work. With the exception of a few apprentices the men are all experienced bakers. The recipe is not a military secret alleged j a n d m a y interest some of the moth- ! ers of the state. The following figures are given: 450 pound of flour, 30 gallons of water, 5 pounds of lard, 5Vi pounds of salt, 5¼ pounds of sugar and 5½ pounds of compressed yeast. This may be halved or doubled as desired. These ingredients are placed in 8elects W i l l Get Commissions. As Camp Custer progresses, the fact becomes more evident that several hundred men who came to the canton j three barrel mixing machines, operatment as selected soldiers will emerge ; ed by electricity, From there the as commissioned officers and that, efficiency will be otherwise rewarded throughout the Eighty-fifth division. Each company and battery commander has a man or two whom he has recommended for the third officers' training camp, which will be opened at Camp Custer early next months, on the plan followed a'. Plattsburg, Fort Sheridan, and other officers' camps. There are scores oi men in camp who either attended Fort Sheridan and failed to land co-n missions or who were candidates and, for one reason or another failed to be ordered to the school. Announcement is also made that dough goes to the ovens. There are three of these ovens, each capable of turning out 5,000 two.pound loaves every 24 hours, grving the entire battery a capacity of 15,000 loaves a day. It takes one hour and 15 minutes from the time the loaves are placed in the oven until they coma out nicely browned. After the baking comes the drying room, where the loavea are placed on great trucks in neat rows along the shelves on the Bide, and kept 24 hours before being issued to regimental supply officers. Army medical men say K must be that old to digest easily. A noticeable feature .of the bakery many graduates of colleges teaching I 1B its sanitary arrangements. Members engineering or of special technical schools, will be allowed to shake their 'rookie' uniforms for officers' toggery, goon after the first of the year. An examination has been arranged 'or January 21, to which technical grad uates are eligible and the winners will be at once commissioned second lieutenants In the engineering corps. The Three Hundred and Tenth en gineer regiment has a particularly large number of men who are techni cal graduates and who landed In this regiment because their card indexes revealed the fact. Percentage of Rejections High. Figures compiled at the office of the surgeon of the Eighty-fifth division show that nearly 15 per cent of tho | United 8tate8, *ith i e s g than 80 comof the company are under constant surveillance of medical officers. The buildings are new. Scrubbing brushes and lye water keep them clean. The men are not permitted to smoke in the building, and the recept -acles with which the dough and bread come in contact are kept free from dust and dirt. The bakery also turns out pies and cakes. These are baked in field ovens, of which there are three. Each oven can bake 1,000 pies daily. Custer Is Healthiest Camp. Figures from the base hospital at Camp Custer show that Camp Custer holds the high health percentage record of the army cantonmenta of the selected men sent to Camp Custer In the last contingent will be rejected because of physical defectR. These figures must not be taken to Indicate that the rejected men are in municable diseases under treatment. This condition is a particularly gratifying piece of news at present because of reports from southern camp*, where climatic conditions are supvalid& or in most cases incapacitated i posed to be ideal, that epidemics oi from performing such labors as they measles are being followed by pneumay select, but they do sharply define ! monia, with many fatalities. that only the most perfect specimens ^ There were only eight cases of of manhood will be trained for overseas duties in the first, divisions. A percentage of these men sent home will later be called to the colors, either because they take measures to remedy the defects which pneumonia in camp last week, and 67 mild cases of measles. On the records are also placed ttx cases of smallpox and sit of scarlet fever with about 20 of mumps. In all there were only 534 patient! barred them at this time, or became, i in the hospital. About 250 of these .-».* KM. *i-V .'«,. the standard will be lowered when the pick of the country has been taken. Many of the men require minor operations only to perfect them for service, but only In rare cases are these being performed by surgeons here, Many of the larger hospitals of the country are performing the operations flrse»_ It may be said Sow that some of tbe pmSfcifiiif IWKt were defective Mtfgat, tuberculosis, syphilis and •sinitittsu *1T-*^-«*«— and other •tlecs *e*ere, are c*ri& from colds and minor accidents. Division Surgeon Bartlett attributes these excellent records to several different causes. First, die wooden barracks are better ventilated and there is more space for each soldier than in the canvas cantonments of the south. Further, the division surgeon'i office recommended to the war depart* ment that the second contingent ol selected men be not sent until the heat units were ready and sufficient cloth* lng was on hand. This resulted in • delay from October I until November IS, but unquestionably prevented mnoh sickness. ONE MICHIGAN MAN LOST WITH WARSHIP U. 3. DESTROYER JACOB JONE8 TORPEDOED A N D SUNK BY GERMAN SUBMARINE. SIXTY-SIX OF CREW PERISH The Jacob Jones, One of the Newest Destroyers In Service, Is First U. S. Warship Sunk By U-Boat. Washington—One Michigan man was among the lost when the American destroyer Jacob Jones was torpedoed and %unk in the war zone on December 6. According to reports received from Admiral Sims, the total loss of life waa one line officer and 65 enlisted men. Forty-four officers and men are reported saved. Lieut. Commander David Worth Bagley, brother of Mrs. Josephus Daniels, wife of the scretary of the navy, and whose brother was the only American officer to give his life in the Spanish- American war is reported among those rescued. The first list of survivors • did not include his name and it was feared that he went down with his ship. Admiral Sim's report said that Commander Bagley and five other men saved with him got away in a motor boat and were picked up and landed uninjured at the Scilly islands. The other survivors were saved by life rafts and were later picked up by two other ships, the names of which were not giv^en in the report. The Michigan man reported lost is Henry P. Anderson, gunner's mate Belding. Those lost: coming from central states and near Michigan, were: Emmett: Roscoe Smith, machinist's mate, Toledo, O. James Alva Francis, electrician, Osgood, Ind. Leland McKeand Highet, seaman, ! Spencer, Ind. j Ensign Nelson N. Gates and Edward Meier, water tender, both from Bay City, were saved. The attack was made at 4:12 in the afternoon and the ship sunk in exactly 17 minutes. The submarine was not seen until after the attack. Then, when it was plain that the destroyer was helpless, ' and sinking rapidly, the U-boat came to the surface and stood off watching. The American seamen were launch- ! ing their life rafts, but some of the ! men either jumped overboard or fell into the water. It was one of these that the U-boat, making slow headway through the scene of the wreckage, picked up and took aboard. Later the submarine again submerged and made off with the American sailor. The Jacob Jones, one of the largest and newest American submarine chesers of her type operating in the Atlantic, was the first American warship to fall victim to a German submarine, and the second American destroyer to be lost in foreign waters. Bay %City—Ensign Nelson N. Gates one of the survivors of the destroyer Jacob Jones, is a grandson of Mrs. S. G. M. Gates, of Bay City. Prior to the death of his parents his home was in Bay City. His father was a commander in the navy prior to his death. SNOW AND COLD HIT MICHIGAN All Parts of State Report Snow— Coal Lack Causes Suffering. Bay City—Edward Meier, who is reported saved from the Jacob Jones, is a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Meier, of Monroe street ,this city. He was chief water tender on the destroyer.

Lansing.—The snowstorm and cold spell, which struck the state Saturday, has caused a great deal of suffering on account of the coal shortage in many cities and towns. The storm was general throughout the state, all parts reporting a heavy fall. Trains were hours late and as a result transportation has been badly demoralized.

CHAPTER Ill—Continued. "No," said Prudence slowly, with a <vhlte face. "We'll postpone It. I won't get married without the whole family." "I said right from the start—" "Oh, yes, Fairy, we know what you said," Interjected Carol. "We know how you'll get married. First man that gets moonshine enough into his head to propose to you, you'll trot him post haste to the justice before he thinks twice." In the end, the wedding was postponed a couple of months—for both Connie and Fairy took the measles. But when at last the wedding party, marshaled by Connie with a huge white basket of flowers, trailed down the time-honored aisle of the Methodist church, it was without one dissenting voice pronounced the crowning achievement of Mr. Starr's whole pastorate. "I was proud of us, Lark," Carol told her twin, after it was over, and Pruttence had gone, and the girls had wept themselves weak on each other's shoulders, "We get so In the habit of doing things wrong that I half expected myself to . pipe up ahead of father with the ceremony. It seems— awful—without Prudence—but It's a satisfaction to know that she was the best-married bride Mount Mark has ever seen." "Jerry looked awfully handsome, didn't he? Did you notice how he glowed at Prudence? I wish you were arllstic, Carol, so you could illustrate my books. Jerry'd make a fine illustration." "We looked nice, too. We're not a bad-looking bunch, when you come right down to facts. Of course It Is fin»- to be as smart as you are, Larkle, but I'm not Jealous. We're mighty lucky to have both beauty and brains In «»ur twinship—and since one can't have both, I may say I'd just as lief be pretty. It's so much easier." "Carol !" "What?" "We're nearly grown tip now. We'll have to begin to settle down. Prudence says so." For a few seconds Carol wavered, tremulous. Then she said plucklly, "All right Just wait titt I powder my nooe, will you? It gets so shiny when I cry." "Carol!" ••What?" "Isn't the house still?" "Yes—ghastly." MI never thought Prudence was much of a chatterbox, but—listen! There isn't a sound." Carol held out a hand, and Lark clutched it desperately. "Let's—let's go find the folks. This Is awful I Little old Prudence Is gone!" CHAPTER IV. The Serenade. <L subject that never failed to arouse the sarcasm and the Ire of Fairy was that of the Slaughterhouse quartet This was composed of four young men—men quite outside the pale as far as the parsonage was concerned— the disreputable characters of the com* munity, familiar in the local Jail for frequent bursts of Intoxication. They slouched, they smoked, they lounged, tWy leered. The churches knew them n e t They were (he slum element the Bftwery of Mount Mark, Iowa. Prudence, in her day, had passed tfem by with a shy, slight nod and 4 glance of tender pity. Fairy and Lark, and even Connie, sailed by with high heads and scornful eyes — haughty? proud, i d l y removed. But Carol, by some weird and inexplicable fancy, treated them with sweet and gracious solicitude, quite friendly. Her smile aa she passed was as sweet as for her dearest friend. Her "Good ,'t this glorious weather V ily cordial as her "Break' ^ ' v t ^ m ' M s ? the-one subject of dispute between the twins. "Oh, please don't Carol, it does makft ma so ashamed,*' Lark entreated, •Too mustn't be narrow-minded, Larkle,**- Carol argued- "We're minis* t e r f glrla, and we've got to be a good toflnence—an encouragement to the— f trvweafe a n d erring, yon know. Maybtf o^jM"***(r CAROL'S "UPLIFTING" WORK AMONG THE ERRING HAS AN AMUSING ENDING—THE BISHOP AND THE PASTOR MAKE SOME STRANGE ACQUAINTANCES Synopsis.—The story opens la the home of the Kev. Mr. Starr where Prudence, his eldest daughter and feminine head of the house, consisting of her father, herself, her sister Fairy, the twins—Carol and Lark—and Connie, the youngest, are awaiting the arrival of their aunt Grace. Liveliness of the smaller members of the family results disastrously for their appearance. Carol and Lark lnvestlgUe Christian Science. Prudence postpones her wedding when Carol catches measles. ?fi£ my amllea Win be an Inspiration to them.** -;'.' / And on t h i s point Carol stood firm * w - .:•: . . - , / - even against the tears of her precious twin. One evening at the dinner table Fairy said, with a mocking smile, "How are your Slaughter-house friends today, Carol? I see by last night's paper that Guy Flelsher is Just out after his last thirty days up. Did he find his incarceration trying?" "I didn't discuss it with him," Carol said indignantly. "I never talk to them. I Just say 'Good morning' in Christian charity." Aunt Grace's eyes were smiling as always, but for the first time Carol felt that the smiles were at, instead of with, her. "You would laugh to see her, Aunt Grace," Fairy explained. "They are generally half intoxicated, sometimes wholly. And Carol trips by, clean, white and shining. They are always lounging against the store windows or posts for support, bleary-eyed, dissipated, swaggery, staggery. Carol nods and smiles as only Carol can. 'Good morning, boys! Isn't this a lovely day? Are you feeling well?' And they grin at her and sway ingratiatingly against one another, and say, 'Mornln', Carol.' Carol is -the only really decent person in town that has anything to do with them." "Carol means all right," declared Lark angrily. "Yes, Indeed," assented Fairy. 'They call them the Slaughter-house quartet, auntie, because whenever they are sober enough to walk without police assistance, they wander through the streets slaughtering the peace and serenity of the quiet town with their rendition of all the late, disgraceful sentimental ditties. They are in many ways striking characters. I do not wholly misunderstand their attraction for romantic Carol. They are something like the troubadours of o l d - only more so." Carol's face was crimson. "I don't like them," she cried, "but I'm sorry for them. I want to show them that the decent element, we Christians, are Borry for them and want to make them better." "Carol wants to be an influence," Fairy continued. "Of course it is a little embarrassing for the rest of us to have her on such friendly terms with the most unmentionable characters In all Mount Mark. But Carol Is like so mauy reformers—in the presence of one great truth she has eyes for it only, ignoring a thousand other, greater truths." "I am sorry for them," Carol repeated, more weakly abashed by the presence of the united family. Fairy's dissertations on this subject had usually occurred In privpte. Mr. Starr mentally resolved that he would talk this over with Carol when the others were not present, for he knew from her face and her voice that she was really sensitive on the subject. And he knew, too, that It is difficult to explain to the very young that the finest of ideas are not applicable to all cases by all people. But it happened that he was spared the necessity of dealing with Carol privately, for matters adjusted themselves without his assistance. The second night following was an eventful one In the parsonage. One of the bishops of the church was in Mount Mark for a business conference with the religious leaders, and was to spend the night at the parsonage. The meeting was called for eight-thirty for the convenience of the business men concerned, and was to be held In the church offices. The men left early, followed shortly by Fairy, who designed to spend the evening at the Averys' home, testing their supply of winter apples. The twins and Connie, with the newest and most thrilling book Mr. Carnegie afforded the town, went upstairs to He on the bed and take turns reading aloud. And for a few hours the parsonage was as calm and peaceful as though It were not designed for the housing of merry minister's daughters. Aunt Grace sat downstairs darning stockings. The girls' intentions had been the best in the world, but in less than a year the family darning had fallen entirely into the capable and willing hands of the gentle chaperon. It was half past ten. And suddenly, from beneath the peach trees clustered on the south side of the parsonage, a burst of melody arose. • "Good morning, Carrie, how are you this morning7" The girls sat up abruptly, staring at one another, as the curious, ugly song wafted in upon them. Conviction dawned slowly, sadly, but unquestionably. \ The Slaughter-house quartet was serenading Carol in return for her winsome smiles 1 Carol herself was literally struck dumb. Her face grew* crimson, then white. In her heart she repeated psalms of thanksgiving that. Fairy was away, and that her father and the bishop would not be in until this colossal disaster was over. Connie was mortified. It seemed like a wholesale parsonage Insult. Lark, after the first awful realization, lay back on the bed and rolled convulsively. The rollicking strains of "Budweiser" were swung gayly out upon the night. Carol writhed In anguish. The serenade was bad enough, but this unmerciful mocking derision of her adored twin was unendurable. Then the quartet waxed sentimental. They sang, and not badly, a few old Southern melodies, and started slowly around the corner of the house, still singing. It has been said that Aunt Grace was always kind, always gentle, unsuspicious and without guile. She had heard the serenade, and promptly concluded that it was the work of some of the high-school boys, who were unanimously devoted to Carol. She had a big box of chocolates upstairs, for Connie's birthday celebration. She could get them and make lemonade and— She opened the door softly and stepped out, directly In the path of the startled youths. Full of her hospitable intent, she was not discerning as parsonage people need to be. "Come in, boys," she said cordially. "the girls will be down In a minute." The appearance of a guardian angel summoning them to paradise could not have confounded them more utterly. They stumbled nil over one another in trying to back away from her. She laughed softly. "Don't be bashful. We enjoyed it very much. Yes. come right in." Undoubtedly they would have declined if only they could have thought of the proper method of doing so. As it was, they only succeeded In shambling through the parsonage door, instinctively concealing their halfsmoked cigarettes beneath their fingers. Aunt Grace ushered them into the pleasant living room, nnd ran up to summon her nieces. Left alone, the boys looked at one another with amazement and with grief, and the leader, the touching tenor, said with true musical fervor, "Well, this is a go!" In the meantime, the girls, with horror, had heard their aunt's Invitation. What In the world did she mean? Was it a trick beween her and Fairy? Had they.hired the awful Slaughterers to bring this disgrace upon the parson age? Sternly they faced her when she opened their door. •'Come down, girls—I Invited them In. I'm going to make lemonade and serve my nice chocolates. Hurry down." "You Invited them in!" echoed Connie. "The Slaughter-house quartette," hissed Lark. Then Aunt Grace whirled about and stared at them. "Mercy!" she whispered, remembering for the first time Fairy's work. "Mercy! Is it—that? I thought it was high school boys and —mercy I" "Mercy is good!" said Carol grimly. "You'll have to put them out," suggested Connie. "I can't! How can I?—How did I know?—what on earth— Oh. Carol whatever made you smile at them?" she wailed helplessly. "You know how men are when they are smiled a t ! The bishop—" "You'll have to get them out before the bishop comes back," said Carol. "You must. And if any of you ever give this away to father or Fairy m—" "You'd better go down a minute, girls," urged their aunt. "That will be the easiest way. I'll Just pass the candy and invite them to come again and then they'll go. Hurry now, and we'll get rid of them before the others come. Be as decent as you can, and It'll soon be over." Thus adjured, with the dignity of the bishop and the laughter of Fairy ever In their thoughts, the girls arose and went down, proudly, calmly, loftily. Their Inborn •senses of humor came to their assistance when they entered the living room. The Slaughter boys looked far more* slaughtered than slaughtering. They sat limply In their chairs, nervously twitching their yellowed slimy fingers, their dull eyes Intent upon the worn spots In the carpet It was funny ! Even Carol Muneil, HOC the serene smeet smile that melted hearts, but the grim hard smile of the Joker when the tables are turned ! She flattered herself that this wretched travesty on parsonage courtesy would be ended before there were any further witnesses to her downfall from her proud tine heights, but she was doomed to disappointment. Fairy, on the Averys' porch, had heard the sere nade. After the first shock, and after the helpless laughter that followed, she bade her friends good night. "Oh, I've Just got to go," she said. "It's a Joke on Carol. I wouldn't mlw it for twenty-five bushels of apples— even us good as these are." Her eyes twinkling with delight, she ran home and waited behind the rose bushes until the moment for her appearance seemed at hand. Then she stepped into the room where her outraged sisters were stoically passing precious and luscious chocolates to tobacco- saturated youths. "Good evening," "she said. "The Averys and I enjoyed the concert, too. I do love to hear .music outdoors on still nights like these. Carol, maybe your friends would like a drink. Are there any lemons, auntie? We might have a little lemonade." Carol writhed helplessly. 'Til make it." she said, and rushed to the kitchen to vent her fury by shaking the very life out of the lemons. But she did not waste time. Her father's twinkles were nearly as bad as Fairy's own—and the bishop ! "I'd wish it would choke 'em if it wouldn't take so long," she muttered passionately, as she hurried in with the pitcher nnd glasses, ready to serve the "slums" with her own chaste hands. She was Just serving the melting tenor when she heard hi*r father's voice In the hall. "Too late," she said aloud, and with such despair !n her voice that Fairy relented and mentally promised to "see her through." Mr. Starr's eyes twinkled freely when he saw the guests in his home, and the gentle bishop's puzzled interest nearly sent th-em all off into laughter. Pairy had no Idea of the young men's names, but she said, quickly, to spare Carol: "We have been serenaded tonight, doctor—you just missed It. These are the Mount Mark troubadours. You are lucky to get here In time for the lemonade." But when she saw the bishop glance concernedly from the yellow fingers to the dull eyes and the brown-streaked mouths, her gravity nearly forsook her. The Slaughterers, already dashed to the ground by embarrassment, were entirely routed by the presence of the bishop. With Incoherent apologies, they rose to their unsteady feet and in a cloud of breezy odors, made their escape. Mr. Starr laughed a little, Aunt Grace put her arm protectlngly about Carol's rigid shoulders, and the blsliop said, "Well, well, well," with gentle inquiry. "We call them the Slaughter-house quartette," Fairy began cheerfully. "They are the lower strata of Mount Mark, and they make the nights hideous with their choice selection of popular airs. The parsonage la divided about them. Some of us think we should treat them with proud and cold disdain. Some think we should regard them with a tender, gentle, er- - smiling pity. And evidently they pppreclated the smiles, for taey gave us a serenade in return for them. A.:.nt Grace did not know their history so she Invited them In, thinking they Mere Just ordinary schoolboys. It is home mission work run aground." The bishop nodded sympathetically "One has to be so careful," he said. "So extremely careful with characters like those. No doubt they meant well by their serenade, but—girls especially have to be very careful. I think as a rule it is safer to let men show the tender pity nnd women the fine ells-- daln. I don't Imagine they would come serenading your father and me! You carried It off beautifully, girls. I am sure your father was proud of you. I was myself. I'm glad you are Methodists. Not many girls so young could handle a difficult matter as neatly as you did." "Yes," said Mr. Starr, but his eyei twinkled toward Carol once more; "yes, Indeed, I think we are well cleared of a disagreeable business." But Carol looked at Fairy with such humble, passionate gratitude that tear? came to Fairy's eyes and she turned quickly away. "Carol Is a sweet girl," she thought "I wonder if things will work out foi her Just right—to make her as happ> as she ought to be. She's so—lovely.' Carol goes to the assistance of Lark when dire tribulations threaten—* near-painful Incident becomes a comedy. (TO BE CONTINUED.) To Win a Friend.

"Nations, as well as individuals, are accepting the unquestioned nervous damage of alcohol," says Kr. Robert S. Carroll In his book, "The Mastery of Nervousness." Many appalling and distorted statements have been made ! to frighten the drinker from his cups. But It would seem that when a com- : mittee appointed by a government to i investigate the harmful effects of alcohol reports that the drinker's life Is shortened 25 minutes by every glass of alcoholic liquor, even the reckless ; would hesitate. Six years are knocked off the earthly existence of the average drinker. The tippler answers that it is his own life that he Is shortening, and if he pleases so to live and die, he alone Is hurt. There is an- 1 other thing to be considered : ! "Three out of four of the offspring of average drinkers show Inherited defects, chiefly of the nervous system. Many an Intense, unhappy, miserable, high-strung neurotic of today is the defective daughter of a genial, \ Jovial, easy-going, old-school gentleman whose mint Juleps of good-fellowship burn hot in the brains of his children. Numbers of fearsome epileptics go through lives of fierce unceri tainty, the unhappy products of a i single ancestral spree. These Innocent victims are condemned, before birth, to live with nervous systems attuned to discord, capable of express- \ ing life only through minor strains. hopelessly deficient—pitiable, de» ' pressed, morbid, blighted lives." THE WINNING ARGUMENT. "It is Idle to argue from prophecy when we may argue from history," pithily said Sidney Lanier. What has really happened as the result of dry law Is of more value as prohibition argument than all the prognostications of liquor advocates in and for territory now wet. In a recent campaign Issue the Union Signal gives column after column to this worthwhile history argument. First-hand testimony from 14 dry states (there was no space for more) proves that prohibition Is a boon and a blessing, socially and economically; that it increases man power and money power. "The success argument," says the editor, "is the winning factor in present-day prohibition campaigns. It effectually silences the llquorltes." That argument Is abundantly supplied by enthusiastic statements continually given out by governors, attorney generals, mayors, sheriffs, bankers, by business managers, labor commissioners, and prominent residents of prohibition states. DRY BITS. Grammar a la prohibition: Dry: Comparative. Dryer: Superlative. Bone dry: In 1920 the United States will be In the superlative condition. The constitution of the Unitedi States gives to each man the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The liquor Institution sends m a n ' t o death, slavery and the pursuit of wretchedness. St, Paul wrote to Timothy to use a little wine for his stomach's sake. A good many Timothys since then have too eagerly followed this advice an/ have gone to seed. LIQUOR AND LABOR. A department superintendent of one of the big tire factories In Akron, P „ uses 80 men In each shift. They are making gas masks, miners' respirators, and other vital war material. That department Is working only two shifts a day instead of three, because of the scarcity of labor. They pay off on Friday. On one Saturday only six of the sixty men in one shift reported for work. "Ninety per cent of our labor troubles are due to booze," says this superintendent. If the government would shut down on the liquor traffic we could increase our output enormously. There Is no lack of labor. The only trouble Is fd keep it working full time." PA88INQ OP T H E PENITENTIARY. Citizens of Colorado are Inquiring what is to become of the state penitentiary a few years hence. Despite the increase In population the prison quota, Warden Tynan says, has been reduced since prohibition wont Ir.to effect at the rate of ten a month. Should this same ratio be maintained the penitentiary will be emptied in less than six years. Other dry states face similar situations. If yftTHfi^ were not providing for federal prisoners and frlsoners from other states, most of her penal institutions would be closing up. ^ . - ^ K-:^-rl*?

FIRST MADE USE OF IN 1870 '*<;v At That Time ft Was Condemned by the Civilized World, but the German Military Leaders Have Never Abandoned It. Ample proof thai the march of the German armies t)i rough Belgium was marked by massacres and cruelties almost beyond belief is given in a document made public by the committee on public information, from which the following is taken: The massacres in Belgium and northern France were a part of the German system of frightfulness. Another feature of this system was the use of civilians as hostages and for screens. In discussing the use of hostages the German War Book (Kriegsbrauch lm Landkriege) nays : "A new application of 'hostage right' was practiced by the German staff In the war of 1870, when it compelled leading citizens from French towns and villages to accompany trains and locomotives In order to protect t h e railway communications which were threatened by the people. Since the lives of peaceable inhabitants were, without any fault on their part, thereby exposed to grave danger, every writer outside Germany has stigmatized this measure as contrary to the law of nations and as unjustified towards the inhabitants of the country," Clung to Frightfulness. Although their deeds in the Franco- Prussian war had been universally condemned, as they themselves admitted, the leaders did not intend to abandon surh a useful measure of frightfulness. In L'lnterprete Milltaire the forms were provided for such acts In the next war. P>oth in Belgium and In France the Germans have constantly used hostages. The evidence is contained In the proclamations of the governing authorities ami a No in the diaries of the German soldiers. A few examples from these will illust r a t e the system whirl) was employed, A specimen of the arbitrariness and cruelty is fuTnKhed by the proclamation of Major Inorkmann, from whirh the following sections are presented : "After 0 a. m, on the 7th September, I will permit the houses in Heyne- Heusay, Grivognee, and Bois-de-P»reux to be Inhabited by the persons who lived in them formerly, as long as these persons are not forbidden to frequent these localities by official prohibition. Prominent People Hostages. "In order to be sure that the abovementioned permit will not be abused, the burgomasters of Reyne-Heusay and of Grlvecnee must immediately prepare lists of prominent persons who will he held as hostages for 24 hours each at Fort Fleron.

"The life of these hnstaces depends • on the population of the above-mentioned communes remaining quiet un- •der nil circumstances. "During the night it Is severely forbidden to show any luminous signals. Bicycles are permitted only between 7 a. m. and fi p. m. (German time). "From the list which is submitted to me I shall designate prominent persons who shall be hostages from noon of one day until the following midday. If the substitute is not there in due time, the hostage must remain another 24 hours at the fort. After these 24 hours the hostace will incur the penally of death, if the substitute falls , to appear. "Priests, burgomasters, nnd the other members of the council are to be taken first ns hostages. "I insist that all civilians who move about in my district . . . show their respect to the German officers by taking off their hats, or lifting their h a n d s to their heads In military salute. I n case of doubt, every German soldier must be saluted. Anyone who does not do this must erpect the Germ a n military to make themselves respected by every' means." This Is fin invitation to a service In memory of 60 men and women from one parish, of whom all but two were killed by t h e Germans in the massacre Of August 6 and 6, 1914. The closing sentences are: "Gentle Heart of Mary, be my refnge. *Otir Lady of Lonrdes, pray for ns. "St Joseph, patron of Belgian, pray for vm. "8t fF«i«1fcHn, patron of the parish, pray f o r m *9aint« fcarbe, patroness of kindly tattfe, pray for us." After reading such ghastly accounts. many of them written by German eye witnesses, and knowing that si in ill" tales were published widely In the German newspapers, it is difficult to read with patience such words as these : "The German army (In which I of course Include the navy) is today the greatest institute for moral education in the world." "The German soldiers alone are thoroughly disciplined, and have never so much as hurt a hair of a single innocent human being."—Houston Stewart Gliamberluln, in Kriegsaufsdtze, "War Fssays," 1014. "We see everywhere how our soldiers respect the sacred defenselessness of woman and child."—Prof. G. Roethe, in Deutsche Kedeu in Schwerer Zeit, "German .Speeches In Difficult Days." Hostages' Lives Hung by Thread. "In order to Insure sufficiently the safety of our troops and the tranquility of the population of Reims, the persons mentioned have been seized as hostages by the commander of the German army. These hostages will be shot If there Is the least disorder. On the other hand, if the town remains perfectly calm and quiet these hostages and inhabitants will be placed under the protection of the German army. "THE GENERAL COMMANDING. "Reims, 12th September, 1914." Beneath this proclamation there were posted the names of 81 hostages and a statement that others had also been seized as hostages. The lives of all these men depended In reality upon the Interpretation which the German military authorities might give to the elastic phrase, "the least disorder," in the proclamation. Hugh Gibson, in a Journal from our Legation In Belgium, page 184, explains what was likely to h a p p e n : "Another thing is, that on entering a town, they hold the burgomaster, the procureur du roi. and other authorities as hostages to insure pood behavior by the population. Of course, the hoodlum class would like nothing better than to see their natural enemies, the (]('U'n(]crs of law and order, ignominiously shot, nnd they do not restrain themselves a bit on account of the hostages."

Stracbey, editor of the Spectator (London), once an advocate of the drink tratiic, has since the beginning of the war made prohibition the policy of his paper. In a recent public address he told this story : "A city, though its armies were victorious, was In dire straits for food. Strict search was made to see that nothing that could be used for food should be wasted, and lo, a great store of barley and sugar was found. And t h e generul thanked God that they were saved. There was enough barley and sugar to enable them to hold out till the re-victualling that was sure to come In a few mouths. The barley, mixed with corn, would make excellent bread and the sugar would save the children. " 'Alas,' said the civil authorities, 'all this barley and sugar must be t u r n e d into b e e r ; we dare not touch It' " T h e general, who was a simple soldier and did" not understand polities, was angry. 'This is a town of sane people, not a lunatic asylum, nobody can be allowed to turn into beer what i might be made into bread and so save I the people.' J "But it was even so. T h e city fell and the conquerors drank the beer!" Mr. Strachey hammered his point home with these w o r d s : "The proper thing to do, the straight thing to do, the only honorable thing to do, is to stop the brewers and give the people bread. With famine facing the world, the government must stay the food destroyers on land as well uy on sea, if we nre to have victory." CANADA'S W H I T E MAP.

BRUCE in Utica Globe.) H E N u young man ut a Christinas parly leads, with an a t t e m p t at nonchalance, some charming young lady beneath a bough of mistletoe in order to win a "mistletoe kiss" he is of the opinion that he is luring the young lady into a situation where, by the decree of an ancient custom, she must forfeit the aforesaid kiss. f r a n k n e s s compels me to confess that the luring is done by the young lady. Eor their Christmas parties they secure and suspend the mistletoe and she is indeed a most sedate and rather chilling young person who will not, during the festivities, allow herself to be "lured" beneath the mistletoe. And all this is quite within her rights. It is a custom she inherited from ancestors who dwelt in Britain or Scandinavia, centuries ago. Today the mistletoe and the mistletoe kiss are associated only with Christmas. But, in truth, mistletoe had its significance centuries before the birth in Bethlehem which gave us Christmas. Scandinavians claim that mistletoe customs originated with them, but there is an English legend antedating those of Scandinavia, which tells how the girls of semlharbaric Britain, in the golden age of the Druids, did themselves hung up boughs of mistletoe and lure young men into their embrace. According to this legend Chelm, an ancient high priest, had a great temple In the forest where he taught young men to become priests. So popular did this temple become that half the young men of the countryside were leaving their homes and people, and becoming Druid priests. There was great need of the young men it) the camps to hunt and fish and to plant, and, above nil, there were so many more maidens than young men left that they decided something must be done to reclaim them. The girls sought an ancient witch and asked her help. "Pick yonder mistletoe that grows without roots upon the trees, go to the edge of tin1 forest round about the tree temple of Chelm and hang it there all around and about the forest. Stand in waiting there, well hidden, until the young men coining forth from t h e forest each night to bring food to t h e temple, are under the mistletoe, then step forth. They will clasp you and kiss you whereupon do you scream right lustily and the young men shall be yours." How the Girls Won Back the Men. The maidens followed this advice and hung the mistletoe In festoons about the edge of the forest. Standing under it, the young men felt impelled to kiss the maidens who stepped forth to greet them. The maidens, a s instructed, screamed lustily and Chelm and other of the old Druid priests rushed forth, fearing their young men were being murdered. When the good old Druids saw the young men embracing the maidens they drove them away, for they would have no one among them who had ought to do with women. And so. through the peculiar influe n c e of the mistletoe, the maidens won back the young men, but the custom of hanging up mistletoe was kept tip. L a t e r after the introduction of Christianity, the custom was added to t h e Christmas festivities. Christmas Festivities. From Scandinavian mythology comes t h e wetrd but interesting story of the origin of mistletoe, that pale-berried p a r a s i t e of the forest. One of the best of these legends is that of Baldur, son of Wodin, in the days when those strange gods a r e said to have walked and talked with the mortals on earth, a s did Jupiter and Apollo and Diana and Latonio and t h e other gods and goddesses of Olympus. Baldur was the Scandinavian god of sunshine and s u m m e r and was nat- SUfiaily beloved by all except Loki, t h e jpai of hearth fires. For, whHe the le rushed out of doors to see Balt) n* when he brought the summer sun. they had no use for Loki until the next Winter, consequently Loki disliked Baldur. Nanna, goddess of the blossoms and wife of Baldur, dreamed terrible d r e a m s of the death of Baldur, and she \vvnt to the great god Wodin, her father-in-law, and told him and he was grtT.tlv troubled. Bat messenger* tvt>* it forth throughout the world and had everything swear to do Baldur no harm. Everything animate and inanimate, the animals and men and fish and birds, the w a t e r and e a r t h and rocks and trees, the winds and clouds and rain and snow, all agreed never to harm Baldur. "Go forth and weep no more, daughter," said Wodin to Nanna, "no harm can now come to your husband, my son," and Nanna went forth happy. After that all t h e gods used to amuse themselves hurling stones and axes and spears at Baldur and he stood and laughed at them, because neither wood nor petal nor anything could harm him. It was great sport for everyone. One day while at this sport an old woman asked Nanna why they were trying to kill Baldur. "Everything has promised never to harm him," she explained. "Everything?" queried the old woman. "Except the mistletoe, what can that little shrub do?" Nanna laughed scornfully. The old woman hurried away. Of course it was Loki in disguise. She got a twig of mistletoe and hardened it by charring the outside before the fire, fitted the point to a lance and hurled it at Baldur, whereupon it pierced his heart and he fell dead. Dedicated to Love and Affection. As a peace offering the gods dedicated the mistletoe to love and affection and peace just so long as it never touched Loki's territory, the ground. Ever' since then the mistletoe h a s grown without roots, far away from the ground, and even to this day it is used by suspending it above the floor or ground. And so it is that both ancient Britain and Scandinavia lay their claim to mistletoe customs and the origin of suspending a branch of it beneath which youth may kiss, T h e r e Is little doubt but what the custom was in use a thousand years before the origin of Christinas. While the story of the maidens who lured back to their camps, and to themselves, the young men who were about to become Druid priests, gives good account of our custom of kissing beneath the mistletoe today, to Scandinavia also belongs much c r e d i t When those brave and romantic Scandinavians looked forward to Valhalla as their heaven, and worshiped the gods Thor and Wodin on Thor's day and Wodin's day (which Is where we get our Thursday and Wednesday), they used to have certain great feast days for their gods. It became the custom, on observing T h o r ' s day, to build great fires. These were called " J u u l " fires. As everyone knows, the Scandinavian " J " is pronounced quite like our pronunciation of the letter "Y," consequently those fires were spoken of as "Yule" *ires. T h e brighter the fires, the higher the flames towered through the forests where the Scandinavians used to gather to pay honor to the great god Thor, the greater pleased was Thor, and so it became necessary to pickout the best of wood tc burn. Then men would go into the forest looking for " J u u l " logs, and they soon learned that the trees upon which much mistletoe clung would give the brightest fires. They did not know the reason for this, and believed that it was due to the work of the great Thor hiraself who caused the mistletoe to grow on those trees without roots solely as a means of letting his people know which trees were best for burning in his honor. And so whenever anyone met under the mistletoe in the great forests, no m a t t e r how great enemies they were, they dropped their weapons and greeted each other kindly, nor would they take up a r m s against each other until the sunrise of another day. This was their tribute in memory of Thor. * A Fetish of Good Luck. They began to take bits of the mistletoe into their homes and hang it over the doorways, and If any enemies came, they could not enter the houses beneath the mistletoe without becoming frienj^s to the people inside so long as they remained there. From this c a m e the habit of greeting people who stepped under t h e mistletoe with an embrace or a kiss, and at great Indoor feasts the mistletoe was hung u p in the room and the people greeted each other with kisses. Later this mistletoe hanging at feasts came to be put In use only at the Christmas feast and from that grew the custom of hanging up the mistletoe In order that any standing beneath it might be kissed by the first person who caught her there. Few if any growing things are the subject of as many ancient legends, customs and beliefs as the mistletoe. The fact that the ancient Celts in their druidical religion had two great festivals, one in J u n e and the other In December, the latter being equivalent to our Christmas. In both of these great festivals the g a t h e r i n g of the mistletoe was a sacred rite. Pliny in his Natural History describes the ceremony. Speaking of the Druids' worship of the oak, he s a y s : "They believe that whatever grows on these trees is sent from heaven and is a sign that the tree has been chosen by the God himself. The mistletoe is very rarely to be met with, but when it is found they gather it with solemn ceremony. This they do especially on the sixth day of the moon, because by the sixth day the moon has plenty of vigor and lias not run half its course. "After the preparations have been made for a sacrifice and a feast under the tree they hall it as the universal healer and bring to the spot two white bulls whose horns have never been bound before. A priest, clad in a white robe, climbs the tree and with a golden sickle cuts the mistletoe, which is caught in a white cloth. Then they sacrifice the victims, praying that God may make his own gift to prosper with those upon whom he has bestowed it. "They believe that a potion prepared from mistletoe will increase their flocks and that the plant is a remedy against all poison." It was believed to he a remedy for many ills and this belief is still to be found in many remote places in Europe. In Holstein, for example, the mistletoe is regarded as a healing remedy for wounds and in Lacaune, France, It Is always administered by the native people as an antidote for poison. They apply the plant to the stomach of the patient and give him a solution of it to drink as well. The Gaelic word for mistletoe is "an t'nil loc," which means "all healer," and this is probably what the Druids called it in ancient times. In the northeast of Scotland people used to cut withes of mistletoe at the March full m o o n ; tliese they bent in circles and kept for a year to cure hectic fevers and other troubles. In some p a r t s of Germany the mistletoe is especially esteemed as a remedy for the ailments of children, who sometimes wear it hung around the neck as an amulet. In Sweden on midsummer eve mistletoe is diligently sought after, the people believing it to he possessed of many mystic qualities, and that if a sprig of it is attached to the cejling of the dwelling house, the horse's stall or cow's crib, the "trolls" or evil spirits will then be powerless to Injure either man or beast. Branches of the plant are commonly seen in farmhouses hanging from the celling to protect the dwellings from all harm, but especially from fire, and persons afflicted with the falling sickness think they can wurd off all a t t a c k s of the malady by carrying about with them a knife which has a handle of mistletoe. .A Swedish remedy for other complaints is to hang a sprig of mistletoe round the sufferer's neck or to m a k e him wear on his finger a ring made from the p l a n t Moreover they fashion divining rods of mistletoe or of four different kinds of wood, one of which must be mistletoe. The treasure seeker places the rod on the ground after sundown and when it rests directly over the t r e a s u r e t h e rod begins to move as If it were alive. Like their Swedish neighbors, many German p e a s a n t s consider the mistletoe a powerful charm against evil spiri t s Makes Shaving Easy T h e wonderful skin food and "wrinkle chaser."

SAYS TEAM WORK IS ASSURED Meeting Got T o g e t h e r Principally on Economic S i t u a t i o n , Food, Embargo and Finance. Petrcgrad — Leon Trctzky, the Bolshevik foreign minister, declared at a nut ling of the council of soldiers' and workmen's delegates Sunday that an armistice governing operations on the Russian front had been signed, lie added that peace negotiations would be begun immediately. The foreign minister announced that for a time a break in the negotiations seemed imminent because General Hoffman, the German negotiator, insisted on the right to transfer troops in small units. The German commai* der finally accepted the Russian forml i b . "\VV. can't and won't aid militarism In any way," M, Trtozky said. "This question of transferring troops was mo^L fundamental. I think our formu'a is considered by our Allies to be satis faertcry " The RU-"MI:I delegates constituting the armisC'ce committee at Brest-Lilovsk have advised the Bolsheviki authorities at the Smolny Institute that an agreement wns re-ached wi'h the Germans concerning the transfer of troops. It was to this effect: "Both sides signing this agreement bind themselves until January M.

COAL SHIPS SEIZED IN DETROIT Drastic Action Taken to Relieve Fuel Famine. Detroit Spectacular, official action was taken by State Fuel Administrator "W. K. Prudden, Saturday and Sunday to relieve the fuel famine that has been menacing Detroit and Michigan for several weeks past, and these developments resulted: Four big lake freighters, consignee! to ports on the upper lakes, and laden with approximately 34,000 tons of coal, were seized under special authorization of the national fuel administration and their cargoes diverted to Industrial and domestic use in ihis city and state Mr. Prudden sent to National Tuel Administrator Harry A. Garfield, at Washington, by telegraph, recommendation that every large industrial plant in Detroit and Michigan, and throughcut the nation, except those orimarily engaged in makng munitions of war, shut down and absolutely suspend operations, and that every theatre and all public buildings and lodge halls, not needed for the successful prosecution of the war, close their doors for one week. He suggested that the suspension be officially decreed by National Administrator Garfield, and that it be effective for the week beginning December 24.

Members of the council, established in accordance with plans of the inter, allied conference, will report to their respective governments with recommendations for action. The council will be composed of the minister of marine and chief of naval staff of each country. In the case of the United States this means Secretary Daniels and Admiral Benson.

Beakes, of Ann Arbor, assumed hi;; seat in the house on December 14, as representative of the Second Michigan district. As a result of a contest b^ginnin:* after the election in November, 191G, congress voted to unseat Mark P.. Bacon, of WTyandotte, and to seat Mr. Beakes, Mr. Beakes was immediately sworn in as a member of congress and re ceived congratulations from fellowmembers without regard to party. New York.—Peace was never mentioned at the allied conference in Paris, or at the supreme war council which met recently at Versailles, Colonel E. M. House, head of the Ameri lean mission which recently visited England and France, said Saturday on his arrival from Europe. Mr. House said that the allied conference "brought things to a focus." The allied naval conference, formation of which has just been announced in Washington, is the first result of the meetings of American delegates and representatives of the other allies, Mr. House said. "Before the conference," Mr. House asserted, "co-ordination was not going on well. "But we are working now well together. We got togeother principally on the economic situation, embargo, food and finance. I regard the trip as a complete success." Mr. House said that the governments tnibt ratify all action taken. He 3aid an announcement of the work accomplished by the American mission might be expected from Washington soon. The supreme war council, he said, is a permanent body and the United States has a permanent place in It, if it so desires. The matter of Mr. House making another trip to Europe soon is entirely at the disposition of President Wilson. "The morale among the people in both Great Britain and France is srlendid," Mr. House said. "Even French pacifists admit that th3 moral0 was never better. "American interests in Europe are almost paramount." TWO AUSTRIAN WARSHIPS SUNK Italian Destroyers Enter Harbor at Trieste to S t r i k e Blow.

Washington.—Two of Austria's battleships have fallen victim to the most daring naval raid of the war—the forcing of the harbor of Trieste by two intrepid Italian torpedo boat destroyers. A dispatch received at the Italian embassy thus recounts the 'exploit: "In the night of December 9-10, Italian torpedo boat destroyers en. tered Trieste harbor, passing the enemy fortifications and fired five torpedoes at two Austrian battleships, one of them being the Monarde. All five torpedoes exploded. One battleship foundered. The Italian destroyers were attacked by guns and torpedoes, but despite this they returned iu safety."

Cities to Dim "White W a y s " Thursdaya and Sundays. , Holds in Spite of Heavy Blows By I Teuton invaders. Washington.—Two "llghtless nights"' a week have now been ordered by the fuel administration. Sunday and Thursday of every week are to see the city "white ways" and advertising signs darkened, only necessary street lights used and on'y such lights as the law requires In offices and stores not open for business. The new order replaces one which became effective November 9 for tie dimming of electric displays, which the administration says has been a failure. '< London—The Italian line, although almost ceaselessly assailed In the mountain regions, is still intact and holding well except for a small recession here and there forced at the cost of extremely heavy casualties on the part of the Austro-German invaders. The Franco-Behgian front is Inactive except for local fighting, mostly due to German thrusts here and there delivered with the seeming intention of keeping the Anglo French command guessing as to the enemy intentions. In Palestine, the Brtish have scored a further advance northeast of Jemsale* «i. Lansing—Relief from the coal shortage, which last week seemed assured, has proven a myth and Michigan now is both desperate and destitute. This condition, however, prevails, practically throughout the nation an-1 National Fuel Administrator Garfield has redoubled efforts to release supplies held on tracks by car congestion. The state administrators office here is flooded with telegrams from all parts of the state telling of immediate need for coat Hundreds of towns are prractfcally without fuel but conditions are such that slight hope of relief can be held out to them. I Grow Grain in Western Canada, Make Profits, and Show Greater Patriotism. The nation-wide cry of "More Efficiency" bus now reached even the most remote agricultural sectlous and there is u general interest umongst the farmers to increase their products and to reduce their expenses. The need of foodstuffs Is greuter than the world has ever before known, and every effort Is being used to meet the world's food requirements, becoming more apparent every day. While it is true that this desire is attested by a general patriotism, there is an underlying factor in this extension work to secure some of the benefits that are being offered by a ready market at maximum prices. Wide-spread attention has been given to the opportunity in this respect in Western Canada, where fortunes are being made in a few crops out of grain at present prices. It has been found that the open, level prairie can be cultivated for wheat and other small grains at a minimum price, and during the past few years the yields have been more than satisfactory. Wheat crops of forty bushel to the acre have been common In Western Canada in the Inst three or four years, and with a present available price of over $2.00 per bushel this means a return oti investment and labor th;it cannot be duplicated elsewhere. This is made possible by the low priced lands that can be secured for grain growing. The range in price runs from $15 to $25 per acre, according to location and other local conditions. In this period of "more agricultural efficiency" it Is apparent at a glance that the farmer on low priced but high grade lands, growing his grain nt a minimum cost, is reaping a golden harvest with the highest percentage of profit. The cultivator of high priced farm lands has a big handicap to overcome in computing his profits on a $200 an acre farm as compared with the agriculturist reaping as great, if not greater return from $25 an acre land. It therefore becomes a question for the farmer himself to answer, whether ; he is doing himself and his country the best service, by devoting all his energies to working high priced land that yields no better return than land that can be secured at one-eighth the price. It is a case of getting either minimum or maximum quantity. Many have already decided on the alternative, and with their spare money invested in and now working Western Canada lands, they are allowed to speak for themselves. Apparently they are satisfied, for we learn of cases where on a $4,000 investment, in one year they have had their money back, with a profit of from 507c to 100%. Such is one of the steps in progressive* ness now being demonstrated- in the effort to create greater efficiency. The Canadian Government is using every effort to bring these conditions, to the attention of the agricultural world, in order to secure the necessary increased grain production so greatly needed. The farmer in Western Canada is exempt from all personal taxes. His buildings, stock and Implements are not assessed; and every encouragement is given to farmers to improve and increase their farm output. Reduced railway rates are being offered to new settlers to look over the country and to size up an unprecedented opportunity in farming. — Advertisement. His Pride. Governor Whitman said at a gathering in Syracuse : "When the kaiser boasts arrogantly to a ruined Germany about the blessings his rule has conferred upon the German people I am irresistibly reminded of the German prison superintendent. "This old fellow, after 30 years In office, was decorated with the order of the Red Hat, or Blue Sausage, or something of the sort, and in his speech of acknowledgment in the hall of the prison he said : " 'As you see, friends, I have been decorated with the imperial order of the Blue Sausage, but I willingly confess that this honor has been atttained, not by my own merits alone, hot - by the co-operation of all of y*u. | can also declare with pleasuft since I have occupied this number of prisoners has from 4¾) to 985—a fact of you and I may be justly proud,*** When Noise Doesnt Count.

CAROL GOES TO THE ASSISTANCE OF LARK WHEN DEEP EMBARRASSMENT THREATENS AND A NEARPAINFUL INCIDENT BECOMES A COMEDY Synopsis.—The story opens in the house of Rev. Mr. Starr, where Prudence, his eldest daughter and feminine head of the house, consisting of her father, herself, her sisters, Fairy, the twins—Carol and Lark—and Connie, the youngest, are awaiting the arrival of their aunt Grace. Liveliness of the smaller members uf the family results disastrously for their appearance. Carol and Lark investigate Christian Science. Prudence postpones her wedding when Carol catches measles. Then Carol tries to convert the town roughneeks. > CHAPTER V. Substitution. The twins came in at dinner-time wrapped in unwonted silence. Lark's face was darkened by an anxious shadow, while Carol wore an expression of heroic determination. "What's u p ? " Connie asked, when the rest of the family dismissed the m a t t e r with amused glances. Lark sighed and looked at Carol, seeming to seek courage from the Spartan countenance. Carol squared her shoulders. "Wei!, go on," Connie urged. "Don't be silly. You know you're crazy to tell us about it, you only want to be coaxed." Lark sighed again, and gazed appealingly at her stout-hearted twin. Carol never could resist the appeal of those ipleading eyes. "Larkie promised to speak a piece at the Sunday-school concert two weeks from tomorrow," she vouchsafed, as unconcernedly as possible. "Mercy!" ejaculated Connie, with an astonishment that was uut altogether complimentary. "Careful, Larkie," cautioned Fairy. "You'll disgrace the parsonage if you don't watch out." "Nonsense," declared their father, "Lark can speak as well as anybody if she Just keeps n trood grip on herself and doesn't get stage fright." AMU* Grace smiled gently. Connie frowned. "It's a risky business," she said. "Lark can't speak any more than a rabbit, and—" l i know it," was the humble admission. "Don't be a goose, Con " interrupted Carol. "Of course Lark can speak a piece. She must leant it. learn it, learri it, so she can r a t t l e it off backwards with her eyes shut, That's the whale oecret. Of course she can speak." > "How did it happen?" inquired Fairy. **I don't know," Lark said sorrowfully. "Nothing was ever "further from my thoughts, I assure you. The first thing I knew, Mrs. Curt IKS was thanking me for my promise, and O.rol was marching me off like grim death." Carol smiled, relieved now that the family commentary was over. "It was very natural. Mrs. Curtiss begged her to do it, and Lark refused. That always happens, every time the Sunday school gives an entertainment. But Mrs. Curtiss went on to say how badly the Sunday school needs the money, and how big a drawing card it would be for both of us twins to be on the program, one right after the other, and how well it would look for the parsonage, and It never occurred to me to warn Lark, for I never dreamed of her doing it." "I thought It wouldn't hurt me to try it once," Lark volunteered in her own defense. . A u n t Grace nodded, with a smile of i n t e r e s t e d approval. ' T m proud of you, Lark, quite proud * f you," her father said warmly. "It's a big thing for you to m a k e such a plunge*—just fine." ' T m proud of you now, too," Connie said darkly. "The question is, will we b e proud of you after the concert?" L a r k sighed dolorously. "Oh, pooh 1" encouraged Carol. "Anyspeak a silly little old piece And it will look so nice to n a m e s right together on the It'll b r i n g out all t h e high :s, sure " •Tea, theyTJ come to h e a r Lark, all right** F a i r y smiled.

"I'll bet I don't," w a s the discouraging retort, as Lark, with pronounced distaste, took the slip of paper and sat down in the corner to read the "blooming thing," as she muttered crossly to herself. Connie and Carol did up the dishes in dreadful silence, and then Carol returned to the charge. "How many times did you read i t ? " "Fourteen and a half," was the patient answer. "It's a silly thing, Carol. There's no sense to it. 'The wind went drifting o'er the lea.' " - "Oh. that's not so bad," Carpi said helpfully. "I've had pieces with worse lines than that.

The twins had a very disheartening way of failing to recognize Connie's jokes—it took the life out of r them. 1 "Now read it aloud, .Lark, so I can see if you get the propel' expression," 'Carol continued, when Connie was utterly subdued. Lark obediently but unhappily read the quaint poem aloud and Carol srid it was very good. "You must read it aloud often, very oft^n. That'll give you a better idea of the accent. Now 1 put it away, and don't look at it again tonight. If you keep it up too long ! you'll get so dead sick 6f it you can't j speak it at all." ,-ji .. • -, j Ry the evening of the Sunday-school concert—they were concerting for the sake of a hundred-dollar subscription to church repairs—Lnrfc' had mastered her recitation so perfectly t h a t the minds of the parsonage were nearly at pence. She still felt a deep resentment toward the situation, b u t this was partially counter-balanced by the satisfaction of seeing hM* n a m e in print, directly beneath Carol's on the program. 1 Recitation Miss Carol Starr. Recitation Miss Lark Starr. It looked very well indeed, and the whole family took a proper interest in it. No one gave Carol's recitation a second thought. She a l w a y s recited, and did it easily and well. It was quite a commonplace occurrence for her. On the night of t h e concert she superintended Lark's dressing with maternal care. "You look all right," she said, "just fine. N<rw don't get scared, Lark. It's so silly. Remember that you know all those people by heart, you can talk a blue s t r e a k to any of them. There's no u s e — " "But I can't talk a blue streak to the whole houseful at once," L a r k protested. "It mnkes me have such a— hollow feeling—to see so many white faces gazing up, and it's hot, and—" "Stop that," came the stern command. "You don't w a n t to get cold feet before you start. If yon do ace!-, dentally forget once or twice, don't worsy. I know the piece as well as you do. nnd I can p r o m p t you from behind without nnyone noticing it. But you won't forget." She kissed her. "You'll do fine, Larkie, just a s fine ns you look, and it couldn't be b e t t e r than that." J u s t then Connie r a n in. "Fairy w a n t s to know If you a r e getting stage fright. L a r k ? My, you do look n i c e ! Now, for goodness' sake, L a r k , remember the parsonage, a n d don't m a k e a fixtle of it." "Who says fizzle?" demanded their father from the doorway. "Never say die, my girl. Why, Lark, I never saw yon look so sweet Ton have your hair fixed a new way. haven't your** "Carol did it" waa the shy reply. "It does look nice, doesnt It? rm not not s hit—yet t there's u hollow feeling— Have the boys come?" "No, but they'll be here in a minute. J i m ' s late. I do get sore at Jim—I'd forty times rather go with hhn than Hartley—but he always puts off asking us until the last minute and then I have a date und you get him. I believe he does it on purpose. Come on down." And Grace looked at the pale sweet face with gratified delight, and kissed her warmly. Her father walked around her, nodding approval. "Aunt Grace," lie said solemnly, "it's a wretched business, having a parsonage full of daughters. Just as soon as they reach the age of beauty, grace and charm, they turn their backs on their fathers and smile on fairer lads." "You've got me, father," said Connie consolingly. "And me—when Babbie's in Chicago," added Fairy. "Yes, that's some help. Connie, be an old maid. Do ! I implore you." "Oh, Connie's got a beau already," said Carol. "It's the fat Allen boy. They don't have dates yet, but they've got an awful case on. He's going to m a k e their living by traveling with a show. YTou'll have to put up with auntie —she's beyond the beaulng s t a g e ! " " S u i t s me," he said contentedly, "I am getting more than my deserts. Come on. Grace, we'll start." "So wdll we, Connie," said Fairy. B u t the boys came, both together, and t h e family group set out together. Carol and Hartley—one of her highschool admirers—led off by running a race down the parsonage walk. And Lark, old, worn and grave, brought up t h e r e a r with Jim Forrest. Jim was a favorite attendant of the twins. He had been graduated from high school the yenr previous, and was finishing off at the agricultural college in Ames. But Ames was not far from home, and he w a s still frequently on hand to squire the twins when squires were in demand. For this broad-minded devotion the twins gave him a deep-seated grntitude and niVectlon and he always stood high in their favor. "Are you scared. L a r k ? " he asked her as they walked slowly down the street toward the church. "I'm not scared, Jim," she answered solemnly, "but I'm perfectly cavernous, if you know what that means." "I s u r e do know," he said fervently, "didn't I have to do a speech at the commencement exercises? There never w a s a completer cavern than I wa* t h a t night. But I can't figure out why folks agree to do such things when Ihey don't have to. I had to. It was compulsory." Larlc gazed at him with limpid troubled eyes. "I can't figure out, either. I don't know why I. did. It was a mistake, some way," At t h e church, which was gratifyingly crowded with Sunday school enthusiasts, the twins forsook their friends nnd slipped along the side aisle to the "dressing room"—commonly utilized as t h e storeroom for worn-out song books, Bibles and lesson sheets. There they s a t in throbbing, quivering silence with t h e rest of the "entertainers." until t h e first strains of the piano solo broke forth, when they walked sedately out and took their seats along the side of the platform—an antediluvian custom which has long been discarded by everything but Sunday schools and g r a d u a t i n g classes. T h e program w e n t along smoothly, with no more stumbles than is customa r y a t such affairs, and nicely punctuated with hnnd clappings. When the superintendent read. "Recitation—Miss Carol Starr," the applause was enthusiastic, for Carol was a prime favorite In church nnd school and town. With sweet and charming nonchalance she tripped to the front of the platform and gave a graceful inclination of her proud young head in response to the applause. Then her voice r a n g out, and t h e room was hushed. Nobody ever worried when Carol spoke a piece. T h i n g s always went all r i g h t And back to her place she walked, her face flushed, her h e a r t swelling high with the gratification of a good deed well done. "Carol," Lark whispered. " I — r m s c a r e d . " * Instantly the trlnmph left Carol's h e a r t . "You're not," she whispered passionately, gripping h e r twin's hand closely, "you are not, you're all r i g h t " L a r k trembled more violently. H e r head swayed a Uttle. Bright flashes of light were blinding her eyes, and her ears were ringing. "I—can't," she muttered thickly. *Tm sick." Carol leaned dose to her and began s violent train of conversation, for the pnrpose of distracting her sites*hi ''Keritaiion Mis.s Lark Starr." Again the applause rang ^ut. Lark did not muve. "1 can't," she whispered again. "I can't." "Lark, Lark," begged Carol desperately. "You must go, you must. 'The wind went drifting o'er the lea,'—it'a easy enough. Go on, Lark. You must." Lark shook her head. "Mmmmm," she murmured Indistinctly. "Remember the parsonage," begged Carol. "Think of Prudence. Think of papa. Look, there he is, right down there. He's expecting you, Lark. You must !" Lark tried to rise. She could not. She could not see her father's clear encouraging face for those queer flashes of light. "You can," whispered Carol. "You can do anything, if you try. Prudence says so." People were craning their necks, and peering curiously up to the second row where the twins sat side by side. The other performers nudged one another, smiling significantly. "I can't." Lark whispered. "I'm sick." "Lark—Lark," called the superintendent. Carol sighed bitterly. Evidently it was up to her. With a grim face, sh.' rose from her chair and started out ot the platform. The superintendent stared at her, his lips parting. Th». people stared at her too, and smiled and then laughed. Panic-stricken, her eyes sought her father's face. He nodded quickly, and his eyes approved. "Good!" His lips formed the word, and Carol did not falter again. The applause was nearly drowned with laughter as Carol advanced for her second recitation. "The wind went drifting o'er the 'ea," she began—her voice drifting properly on the words—and so on to the end of 1 be piece. Most of the ardience, knowing Lark's tempi;' en;, had concluded that fear prevented her appearance, and understood that Carol had crane to her twin'-; rescue for the reputation of the parsonage. The applause wa.s deafening as >he went back'. It grow louder ;is she sat down with a comforting little grin at Lark. Then aa the Happing continued, something of her natural impishness entered her heart. • "Lark," she whispered, "go out and make a bow." "Mercy !" gasped Lark. "I didn't do anything." "It was supposed to be you—go on. Lnrkl H u r r y ! You've got to! Think what a Joke It will lie." Lark hesitated, but Carol's domlnanee was compelling. "Do as I tell you," came the peremptory order, and Lark arose from her chair, stepped out before the as- 'tonished audience and made a slow 'and graceful bow. This time the a p p l a u s e ' r a n riot, for people of less experience than those of Mount Mark could tell th:tf the twins were playing game. As it continued, Carol caught Larkln's hand in h e r s , and together they stepped out once more, laughing and bowing right and left. Lark was the last one in that night, for she and Jim celebrated her defeat with two ice cream sodas apiece at the corner drug store. "I disgraced the parsonage," she said meekly, as she stepped into, the family circle, waiting to receive her. "Indeed you didn't," said Fairy. "It was too bad, but Carol passed it off nicely, nnd then, turning it into a joke that way took all the embarrassment out of it. It WHS perfectly all right, and we weren't a hit ashamed." "And you did look awfully sweet when you made your bow," Connie said warmly—for when a member of the family was down, no one ventured a laugh, laugh-loving though they were. Curious to say, the odd little freak of substitution only endeared the twins to t h e people of Mount Mark the more. "By ginger, you can't beat them bloomln' twins," said Harvey Reel, chuckling admiringly. And no one disagreed.

The clog is a shoe of leather with a wooden sole to which the upper leather is attached by small nails. The wooden sole is protected by a light garniture of iron running round the edge. Hundreds of London schoolchildren are now wearing clogs which cost about three shillings a pair, and the London county council schoolteachers have been providing clogs for ill-shod pupils who pay for them by weekly Installments of ihree ponce each. Should the price of leather increase much more the city man will most probably be coining to business In clogs, though they will l»e of a better type, and already for country wear one can buy an elegant pair' of lacenp clogs for a quarter of the price of an equally efficient shoe.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thur sday, Dec. 27, 1917 NiM AIRPLANE ROUTE TO SWEDEN ^Treileborg and Sasanitx to Be the Termini of the Proposed Line Connecting With Germany. The following bulletin on Treileborg and Sassnitz, the termini of the proposed Swedish-German airplane roots, fwhlch assumes special significance in the light of recent developments In .the diplomatic relations between Germany and Sweden, has been Issued by National Geographic society. Between Treileborg, the most southerly town in '.he Kingdom of Sweden, und Sassnitz, a summer resort on the northeastern shore of the German island of Rugen, express steamers in times of peace make regular trip* across this arm of the Baltic in four hours. This is the chief water link in the 24-hour express service between Stockholm and Berlin. Neither 'town would be of any importance were it not for the fact that they are the termini of this steamer service. Treileborg is a quaint old town of some 10,000 inhabitants, lying 20 miles southeast of Maimo, capital of Skane, teh most populous province in all Sweden. It is only 16 miles from Malmo to the Danish capital, Copenhagen. Sassnitz is one of several popular seaside resorts on the Island of Rugen, the largest insular possession of Germany, having an area about equal to GET $ 8 0 0 A YEAR?

HAD SECRET WIRELESS PLANT Expose of Kaiser's Double Dealing Considered Likely to Result in Argentine Declaring W a r . Washington—Declaration of war against Germany by Argentina was considered almost certain in Latin-American diplomatic circles as the result of new evidence of German trickery, disclosed simultaneously in Washington and Buenos Aires. Impetus was given the diplomatic situation by the publication of another series of telegrams between the notorious Count Luxburg, of Spurlos Versenkt fame, and Berlin foreign office. An indication of the means used by Count Lu'cburg to evade detection in communicating with his government is found in one dispatch where reference is made to his fear that the "secret wire" had been discovered, Another refers to an interruption of his wire to Mexico. A telegram dated July 20 last announcd the completion of a "receiving plant" and asked for the wave length of the great wireless station at Nauen. Luxburg, former German charge in Buenos Aires, in a message dated August 1, last, informed his foreign office that President Irigoyen of Argentina had at last made up his mind to negotiate a secret agreement with Chile and Bolivia for protection against North America. Another telegram intimated an attempt would be made to include Peru, the plan was to be perfected, according to the Luxburg communication of August 1, "before the conference idea is taken up again." "The conference idea" is assumed to be the proposed Latin-American neutrality conference advocated by President Carranza and widely discussed in South America. The secret agreement referred to may explain recent South American reports of President Irigoyen's proposals for a league of South American nations. The messages, 40 in number, were made public by the state department through an agreement with the Argentine government and were accompanied by a statement from Foreign Min ister Puerreydon, in which he says the "inaccuracies" of the German charge's report are so surprising that no epithet will fit them." The messages were sent to Argentine- soon after the state department gave out the first scries in which L'lxburg advised his government to sink Argentine ships without trace, but heretofore demands for their publication have been in vain. The first series were transmitted through the Swedish legation at Buenos Aires, but the means of communication used for the latest batch sent during July, August and September, was not disclosed, except that some of the first series telegrams v e r e included in ones made public last week. Most of the correspondence given cut deals directly with the negotiations then in progress over the sinking of Argentine ships by German submarines. Before the messages fell into the hands of the American government Germany virtually had settled the mattar by agreeing to pay indemnity and to treat Argentine ships according to law. The secret reports 'festal that Argentina on its side wm t | t u p its ship* ont of danger w sjot ajistwhsf them to sail for the i n r twsja, * * • * • * **** m T l € w °* **• fjaft that gjbt lM|i almost no shipping CUSTER GETS SUPPLY OF SHOES A r r i v a l s of Two Carloads Relieves Footgear Shortage.

About 10,000 pairj were in the consignment, and most of these were of the largo sizes needed. However, this consignment is-only about one-half th^ amount r< quisitioncd. Hardly had the cars been shifted on to the siding at the proper warehouse before the unloading and checking began, and almost simultaneously supply wagons drove up to the building and carted away the shoes to be distributed among the men. BRITAINS WAR AIMS OUTLINED Lloyd George Demands Restoration and I n d e m n i t y . London—Premier Lloyd George last v\eek gave in the house of commons Great Britain's minimum condition for peace. Briefly it is: There can be no lasting peace unless Germany gives security that the world will be safe hereafter from German aggression, There can be no such security unless Prussian militarism is forever destroyed and unless the German govfrnment is democratized. Supposing that these two fundamental conditions were fulfilled, which they arp not, then to obtain peace the first thing Germany must do is; To restore completely all i n v a d e territories and to make full comp' ns- ation. The premier said ;he future fate of German colonic.-, should be left *o the decision of an international peace conference. "At that conference, however," he added, "the wishes, desires and inter csts of the inhabitants of the German colonies must be a dominant fac'or in the settlement of their future government." He continued: "The future trustees of the German colonies must consider the sentiment^ of the people thems- lve-—whether they may desire to return to their former mastf rs. "Mesopotamia and Arm°nia shall never be returned to Turkish rule. "The success in Palastine will affect the world's history. Jerusalem will never be restored to the Turks."

Shepherd8ville, Ky.—Forty-six dead and 30 to 40 persons injured, some of them seriously, was the toll taken when Louisville A Nashville passenger train No. 7, from Cincinnati to New Orlans, last Thursday night crashed Into the rear of a Bardstown, Louisville ft Springfield accommodation train 500 yardi south of the station here. The wreck is said to be the worst in the history of the Louisville fc Nashville. Virtually every person aboard the accommodation, both crew and passengers, was either killed or badly Injured. None of the passengers aboard the fast train was killed, though a number were Injured, The locomotive was demolished and the heavy steel coaches making up the train were thrown from the track. INJURY BY RODENTS Well Fed Rats Breed Often and Have Very Large Litters. INJURE PRODUCE IN STORES Not Only Foodstuffs and Forage, but Textiles, Clothing and Leather Goods A r e Often R u i n e d — C u t Off Food Supply. (Pr epai e J by the L'ruled Slau-s Department at Agriculture.) The effect of tin abundance of food on the breeding of rodents should be kept in mind. Well-fed rats mature quickly, breed often, and have large litters. Poorly fed rats, on the contrary, reproduce less frequently and have smaller litters. In addition, scarcity of food makes measures for destroying the animals far more effective. Merchandise in Stores.—In all parts of the country there is a serious economic drain in the destruction by rats and mice of merchandise held for sale by dealers. Not only foodstuffs and forage, but textiles, cloihing, and leather goods are often ruined. This loss is due mainly to the faulty buildings in which the stores are kept, j si Often it would be a measure of economy to tear down the old structures and replace them by new ones. However, even the old buildings may often be repaired so as to make them praeunloaded at wharves or depots, food liable to attack by rats may be temporarily safeguarded by being placed in rut-proof cages, or pounds, constructed of wire netting. Wooden boxes containing reserve food held In depots for a considerable time or Intended for shipment by sea may be made rat-proof by light coverings of metal along the angles. This plan has long been in use to protect naval stores on ships and in warehouses. It Is based on the fact tlmt rats do not gnaw the plane surface of hard materials, but attack doors, furniture and boxes at the angles only. Packing Houses.—Packing houses and abattoirs are often sources from which rats secure subsistence, especially where meats are prepared for market in old buildings. In old-style cooling rooms with double walls of wood and sawdust insulation, always a source of annoyance because of rat infestation, the utmost vigilance is required to prevent serious loss of meat products. On the other hand, [lacking houses with modern construction and sanitary devices have no trouble from rats or mice. Garbage and Waste.—Since much of the food of rats consists of garbage 'and other waste materials, it is not enough to bar the animals from markets, granaries, warehouses and private food stores. (larbage and offal of all kinds must be so disposed of that rats eanma obtain them. In cities ;i ml towns an efficient sysi tern of garbage collection and disposal should be established by ordinances. Waste from markets, hotels, cafes and households should be collected in covered metal ree. ptneles and frequently emptied. (larbage should never be dumped in or near towns, but should CAGE TRAP WITH SPLENDID CATCH OF RATS. iically mt-proof; and foodstuffs, as flour, seeds, and meats, may always be protected in wire cages at slight expense. The public should be protected from insanitary stores by a system of rigid inspection. Household Supplies.—Similar care should be exercised in the home to protect household supplies from mice and rats. Little progress in ridding the premises of these animals can be mnde so long as they have access to supplies of food. Cellars, kitchens, and pantries often furnish subsistence not only to rats that inhabit the dwelling, but to ninny that come from outside. Food supplies may always be kept from rats and mice if placed in inexpensive rat-proof containers covered with wire netting. Sometimes all that is needed to prevent serious waste is the application of a defective part of the building. Produce in Transit.—Much loss of fruits, vegetables, and other produce occurs in transit by rail and on ships. Most of the damage is done at wharves and in railway stations, but there is also considerable in ships' holds, especially to perishable produce brought from warm latitudes. Much of this may be prevented by the use of ratproof cages at the docks, by the careful fumigation of seagoing vessels at the end of each voyage, and by the frequent fumigation of vessels in coastwise trade; but still more by replacing old and decrepit wharves and station platforms with modern ones built of concrete. Where cargoes are being loaded or GIVE FEED ANIMALS RELISH be utilized or promptly destroyed by tire. Hats find abundant food in country slaughterhouses; reform in the management of these is badly needed. Such places are centers of rat propagation. It Is n common practice to leave offal of slaughtered animals to be eaten by rats and swine, and this is the chief means of perpetuating trichinae In pork. The law should require that offal be promptly cremated or otherwise disposed of. Country slaughter-houses should be as cleanly and as constantly inspected as ahbatoirs. Another important source of rat food is found In remnants of lunches left by employees in factories, stores and public buildings. This food, which alone is sufficient to attract and sustain a small army of rats, is commonly left in waste baskets or other open receptacles. Strictly enforced, rules requiring all remnants of food to be deposited in covered metal vessels would make trapping far more effective. Military training camps, unless subjected to rigid discipline in the matter of disposal of garbage and waste, soon become centers of rat infestation. Waste from camps, deposited in covered metal cans and collected dally, should be removed far from the camp itself and ePher burned or utilized ID approved modern ways. W h i l e Preference for Certain Food Is Formed by Habit, It Is Better to Cater to I t Ingredients in Eggs. Lime, nitrogen and phosphoric acid ' are the principal ingredients in eggs. economical gains. If he does oaf watch closely he is likely to wast* feed while some of the animals are not getting enoueh. Animals a"re much like human beings in that they have their own Individual preference for certain foods. While this preference is formed by habit, to get the best returns with the feeds, it is best generally to cater to the animal's appetite. Some horses will not do well without oats In the ration. Others do not especially care for oata, but require corn, some require more hay than others, some must have ground feeds. To get the best results such animals should be humored. Our problem In feeding la to watch tbe animals and see that they get the feeds they require and no more. Feed left In the trough or scattered on the ground out of reach of animals does not produce. Even In feeding cattle a skillful feeder will soon learn the different ani tnal's peculiarities and meet their reqii' *i «uch a «*nr as to get DRY FEED INSTEAD OF SLOP Doesn't Freeze Up to Insult Appetite of Hog in -Winter—Germ* and Odors Are Avoided.

Some men like milk toast and some men don't like milk toast; that la the way with pigs.

EASY TO GROW FLOWERS AND SHRUBS. Why should not the playground at school be made one of the beautiful places of the school district? Here the children spend most of their wakeful hours, more during the school hours than at home. These hours of study and play mean much more when their surroundings tire conducive to putting forth their best efforts. The green leaves oi the spring, the colored foliage of the fall, the sumac, asters and goldenrod, all add something to creating a more cheerful spirit. This Is the day of popular education. Every condition that will be most favorable to all should be provided if within means, [n most cases those things which have most real beauty to commend them can be acquired with the least pecuniary expense. What does it cost to plant a tree or a shrub? How expensive is it to set out u flower? Very little time need be taken to clean up a schoolyard if there are willing hands. Every boy and girl can he made willing to help ; t h e r e are always patrons who are willing to assist if they know what you want done, A country sehoolhouse in western Ohio hat! bush roses, japonica, flowering quince, snowballs, sweet clover, bridal wreath, etc., set in masses in the corners and near the sides so that the playground was not encroached upon. Those which do not grow very high arc set in front. The hardy hydrangia and trumpet-vine are suitable for spring p l a n t i n g ; they should be on every school ground. Near the front porch of the school (if t h e school hoasrs a porch), or near the sehoolhouse on a trellis have crimson or the Dorothy Perkins ramblers. Plant hardy chysanthenimus near the fences. To hide the foundations plant several h u n d r e d s of tulips and hyacinths and h a v e plenty of crocuses peeping through the grass. All that is necessary to do work of thN kind is in arouse a little interest among the children and patrons. The war gardens <>f last year have demonstrated how eagerly the ehiidren fall in with the plans of their elders and how successful they can be in this particular line of endeavor, The children should be permitted to do most of tho work, because it is a joy to a child to know that he has assisted in doing good work. The tulip and hyacinth bulbs should he planted six inches deep and about three or four inches apart. They might he planted eight or ten inches deep if the soil had been loose. After blooming, tulips can be cut off and geraniums or co'eus can be planted for the summer tit the same ground, After frost, tulips and hyacinths should remain in the ground over winter to be ready for the spring blooming. Are fences necessary to protect the. plants? Not at all. Public sentiment will pro! et a flower if the public, through it>> ehiidren, helped in the planting. Yes, there is an exceptional indifferent om- now and then, but the public that 1ms a beautiful school ground and ha-1 experienced a new feeling because of it will take care of the indifferent one. <~?.'<nS Should Keep Piano Dry.

Dora and Amies cleared the table when the meal was finished, for there1 was no servant in the house, and the two sisters helped much with the work, that mamma might get more time to sew. i "Shall I wash or wipe the dishes?" ( asked Dora. ; "()h. I'll wash them, and you can wipe them," said Agnes, "for you'd rather, and I don't care." "Well, then I'm going upstairs to write out my New Year's resolutions; I'll be down by the time you have the dishe* ready to rin^e," and Dora ran up to her room.

An attempt to save the property of Mlchigaa soldiers from being sold for taxes is being made tor the boys at Camp MacArthur, Waco, Texas. Lieut. William Harcourt, a Detroit attorney and member of the 20th machine gun battalion, has been assured by Detroit's corporation counsel that action will be taken to relieve soldiers of special taxes until after the war. A soldier at Waco who owns property in Detroit received a notice that unless a sidewalk assessment was paid his property would be sold for taxes. j His entire savings were invested and I he had no means of raising sufficient ! money to make the payment. Other cases of a like nature were discovered, and Lieut. Harcourt took the matter up with Detroit. Soldiers have been receiving notices from holders of land contracts also, that unless they paid up arrears and kept their payments going regularly they would lose their investments. Several men who own homes have been driven so desperate by the notices that they have made every sacrifice to keep up their payments, fearing their families would be evicted. It is understood that the Michigan law protects a soldier, but the holders of these contracts do not know this law, or, knowing it, will endeavor to Lans'.ng. Michigan state troops, as the locally known Home Guards are technically called, will be fully outfitted by the state, if the United States governmen: does not announce shortly what it is going to do toward equipping the troops, which have been organized to take the place of the National Guard.

THE TRUTH ABOUT ECZEMA AND PILES Thousands and thousands of people, says Peterson, are learning every week that one 30 cent l>ox of Peterson's Ointment will j abolish Eczema and banish piles, and the grateful letters I receive every day are worth more to me than money. I had Eczema for many years on my head and could not get anything to do it any good. I saw your ad and got one box and I owe you many thanks for the good it has done me. There isn't a blotch on my head now, and I couldn't help but thank Peterson, for the cure is great, Mrs. Mary Hill, 420 Third Ave., Pittsburgh, Pa. I have had itching piles for 15 years and Peterson's is the only ointment that relieves me, besides the piles seem to have gone. A. B. Ruger, 1127 Washington Avenue, Racine, Wis. - , , , Use Peterson's Ointment for old aores, salt rheum and all skin diseases.

At the last session of congress, some ordnance was voted for the use of state troops, but this is not available. It is expected now that the present congress will go further than mere ordnance and will make some announcement federalizing them, to the extent of furnishing equipment. Pending the action of the government the purchase of equipment by the state is considered unwise by the military board as the state might find itself with a lot of stuff on hand for which it will have no use It is more than likely though, if the national authorities fall to provide equipment in a month, the state will purchase the complete equipment. It is figured that in that length of time something definite will at least be started in Washington. sold a lot he had inherited. Lieut Harcourt will compile the law on this subject and publish it in all the the Michigan units. Pneumonia Danger Passed. " T h e r e is no immediate cause for great anxiety concerning the health of the m e n in Camp Custer." This comforting comment on t h e situation which is the result of lack of proper clothing and footwear for t h 3 troops, comes from .Lieut.-Col. Bart- Clothing Shortage Serious. Following tho announcement of the quartermaster-general's department of a delinquency in delivery of clothing, shoes and blanket contracts of from 6 to 48 per cent, army authorities of Camp Custer have admitted that the protracted delay in the arrival of proper clothing is causing serious difficulties. The root of the trouble seems to be that Michigan and Wisconsin men are too big for army clothing. The matter, which has dragged on for some weeks, came to a head when a shipment of clothing rushed to th* cantonment by express to equip men of the last contingent who have not been uniformed, was found to consist largely of small sizes. Of 10,676 blouaeg. 7,334 are too small to use; of 19,944 woolen breeches 2,709 are too small to be issued. The great difficulty seems to be in procuring suitable sizes. Enough garments have been received to clothe the present division and all the men it has transferred to other points, but there has been such an overwhelming preponderance of small sizes that Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cored by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness, and that Is by a constitutional remedy. HALL'S CATARRH MEDICINE acts through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces of the System. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness Is the result. Unless the Inflammation can be re* duced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing may be destroyed forever. Many cases of Deafness are caused by Catarrh, which Is an Inflamed condition of the Mucous Surfaces.

Company commanders are watching the men closely to see that those who return to the barracks with wet shoes cent were below size 8, and few men can wear a size 8 army shoe, If their feet are properly fitted. Another vital need is socks. Tho men must have plenty of them, and they are skimping along on the minimum number, with the supply dwindling daily.

SEARCHERS FAIL TO FIND FUND Another Search Will Be Made When Cargo Is Unloaded—Ship in Command of "Committee." A Pacific Port — Tho Russian freighter Shilka, Captain Boris Dogal, ! which, unheralded, slipped into the harbor here late Friday night direct , from Vladivostok, is under bolsheviki rontrol, it became known Sunday. A number of the Shilka's sailors \ were fraternizing on the docks with a party of alleged Industrial Workers ! of the World, 21 of whom were ar- | rented by federal officials and held for j investigation. Among those taken 1 into custody were 13 Russians. None of the sailors were arrested. Shortly after the vessel's arrival. a report was circulated that she had brought a fund of $100,000 in gold for defense of several scores of Industrial Workers of the World now awaiting trial in Chicago on conspiracy charges. • The United States district attorney here admitted he had heard of the report and federal agents searched the vessel, but found no gold, knowledge of which was denied by the captain and crew. Another search will be made when the cargo of licorice root and beans ia discharged. Following out Bolsheviki principles, the Shilka, it was said, is really under command of a committee of five, four sailors and one officer. This committee has power to over rule any order of Captain Dogal at any time, but members of the crew stated that this unique division of authority had caused no trouble on the voyage across the Pacific. Members of the crew have been forbidden to leave the vessel and 50 cadets from a naval training school, working in three relays under command of commissioned officers, are guarding the ship from the docks.

A $2,500 clerk was the medium of forming an $8,000,000 corporation, which took the risk of the yards being moved, and testimony showed how the packer? in return, to use the language of one of the participants, got their share of "the plunder" and took their "pickings."

The professor was in nowise deceived by her attempt at light-heartedness, remembering as he did the quick quivering lips beneath hla, and the unconscious yielding of the supple body in his arms. He condemned himself mentally in no uncertain terms for having yielded to the temptation of her young loveliness. Carol still laughed, determined by her merriment to set the seal of insignificance upon the act "Come and walk a little farther, Carol," he said In a low veice. "I want to say something else." Then after a few minutes of silence, he began rather awkwardly, and David Arnold Duke was not usually awkward: "Carol, you'll think I'm a cad to say what I'm going to, after doing what I have Just done, but I'll have to risk that. You shouldu't let men kiss you. It Isn't right. You're too pretty and sweet and fine for It. I know you don't allow It, commonly, but don't at all. I hate to think of anyone even touching a girl like you." Carol leaned forward, tilting back her head, and looking up at him roguishly, her face a-sparkle. He blushed more deeply. "Oh, I know it," he said. "I'm ashamed of myself. But I can't help what you think of me. I do think you shouldolt let them, and I hope you won't. They're sure to want to." "Yes," she said quietly, very grownup Indeed just then, "yes, they do. Aren't men funny? They always want to. Sometimes we hear old women say, 'Men are all alike.' I never believe it. I hate old women who say it But—are they all alike, professor?" "No," he said grimly, "they are not. B U I suppose any man would like to kiss a gi-rl rs sweet as you are. But men are not all alike. Don't you believe It. You won't, then, will your "Von't believe it? No." "I mean," he said, almost stammering In his confusion, "I mean you won't let them touch you," Carol smiled teaaingly, but. In a moment she spoke, and very* quietly. "P'fessor, Til tell you a blood-red seret If you swear tip and down you'll never tell anybody. Tve never told Lark—well, one night when I was a sophomore—do you remember Bud Garvin?** "Yes, the tall fellow with black hair and eyes, wasn't he? In the freshman zoology class." "Yes. Well, he took me home from a party. And Bud, well—he put his arm around me, and—maybe you don't know it professor, but there's a big difference in girls, too. Now some girls are naturally good. Prudence Is, and so's Lark. But Fairy and I—well, we've got a lot of the original Adam In us. Bud's rather nice and I let him—oh, Just a little, but It made me nervous and exdted. But I Uked i t Prudence was away, and I hated to talk to Lark that night, «o I sneaked In Fairy's room and asked If I might sleep with her. She said I could, and told me to turn on the light, it wouldn't disturb her. But I was so hot I didn't want any tight, so I undressed as fast as I could and crept in. Somehow, from the way I snuggled up to Fairy, she caught on. I was out of breath, realty I was ashamed of myself, but I wasn't Just sure then whether rd ever let htm put hla arm around me again or not But fairy turned over, and began to talk. "She said that once, when she was fifteen, one of the boys at ahrjnlnater And she didn't It a bit But father was potting la the bara, and he out yaet ta time to see it; it After ike boys had sad took Fairy far a BtHe talk, Jaat the two of than atone, He eatd 6aat ta all the The •tarr family It modi store by Jerry Junior, to be, but tsfl an her a in the world made a man so proud, and glad and grateful, as to know his wife was all his own, and that even her lips had been reserved for him like a sacred treasure that no one else could share. He said it would take the meanest man on earth, and father thinks there aren't many as mean as that, to go back on a woman like that. Fairy said ahe burst out crying because her husband wouldn't ever be able to feel that way when he kissed her. But father said since she was so young and innocent, and it being the first time, it wouldn't really count Fairy swore off that minute—never again! Of course, when I knew how father felt about mother. I wanted my husband to have as much pleasure in me as father did in her, and Fairy and I made a solemn resolve that we would never, even 'hold hands,' and that's very simple, until we got crazy enough about a man to think we'd like to marry him if we got a chance. And I never have since then, not once," "Carol." he said in a low voice, "I wish I had known it. I wouldn't have kissed you for anything. God knows I wouldn't. I—I think I am man enough not to have done it anyhow If I had only thought a minute, but God knows I wouldn't have done it if I had known about this. You don't know how—contemptible— t feel." "Oh, that's all right," she said comfortingly, her eyes glowing. "Thafs nil right. We just meant beaux, you know. We didn't include uncles,"and fathers, and old schoolteachers, and things like that. You don't count. That isn't breaking my pledge." The professor smiled, but he remembered the quivering lips, and the relaxing of the lithe body, and the forced laughter, and was not deceived. "You're such a strange girl,'Carol. You're so honest, usually, so kindhearted, so generous. But you always seem trying to make, yourself look bad, not physically, that Isn't what I mean.'' Carol smiled, and her loving fingers caressed her soft cheek. "But you try to make folks think you are vain and selfish, when you are not. Why do you do It? Everyone knows what you really are. All over Mount Mark they say you are the best little kid in town." "They do!" she said indignantly. "Well, they'd better not. Here I've spent years building up my reputation to suit myself, and then they go and shatter it like that. They'd better leave me alone." "But what's the object?" "Why, now. p'fessor," she said, carefully choosing her words, "you know, It's a pretty hard job living up to a good reputation. Look at Prudence and Fairy and Lark. Everyone just naturally expects .them, to be angelically and dishearteningly good. And If they aren't, folks talk. But take me now. No one expects anything of me, and if once in a while I do happen to turn out all right by accident, It's a sort of joyful surprise to the whole community. It's lots more fun surprising folks by being better than they expect, than shocking them by turning out worse than they think you will." "But it doesn't do you any good," he assured her. "You can't fool them. Mount Mark knows its Carol." "You're not going?" she said, as he released her hand and straightened the collar of his coat. "Yes, your father will chase me off If I don't go now. How about the letters, Carol? Think you can manage a little oftener?" *Td love to.

Carol laughed to herself for a while, until Lark really slept then she buried her head in the pillow and her throat swelled with sobs that were heavy but soundless. The next morning was Lark's turn for making the bed. And when she shook up Carol's pillow she found it very damp. "Why, the little goose," she said to herself, smiling, "she laughed until she cried, all by herself. And then ahe turned the pillow over, thinking I wouldn't see it. The little goose!

"Then, in common vernacular, though it is really beneath us, what's up?" Fairy turned Innocently inquiring eyes toward the ceiling. "What, Indeed?" "Oh, don't try to be dramatic, Fairy," counseled Lark. "You're too fat for a star-Starr." The twins beamed at each other approvingly at this, and Fairy smiled.

"She's older than mother was," said Fairy. Lark took the little dress and examined it critically. "The neck's too small," she announced critically. "Nothing could wear that." "We're using this for a pattern." said Fairy, lifting a yellowed, muchworn garment from the sewing basket.

If you want to encourage blooming /n your hybrid and tea roses, cut back to a well developed bud at the Juncture of leaf and stem when cutting off the rose. It is not generally known that if a spray of gladiolus is cut when the first flower appears, or rather opens, and placed in water it will bloom just as well as if on the stalk. Popples are short lived after being cut, and therefore are unsatisfactory for decoration. However, if every bloom is cut in the evening and thrown away, those flowers that open next morning will last two or three days if they are plunged in water up to their necks for an hour or two. After a thorough soaking they can be used in vases, and their beauty will charm for two or three days. The sweet pea, like every flower that blows, demands a daily stripping of every bloom. Producing seeds Is done at the expense of blooms, however, flowers should be cut with sharp shears, never torn from the plant Never cut flowers of the "wax plant" unless you wish no further blooms. Its flowers are produced in exactly the same "eye" each time, and if the eye is removed no more flowers will develop. Weak, liquid manure Is just the stimulant most flowers need when they bloom. Do not stint them in this respect. Another aid to profusion of flowers is plenty of water. The dust mulch In time of drought is beneficial when water is scarce. No matter what the calendar says, do not plant yonr tube-roses out of doors until the ground is warm, and spring sets In in earnest One way to give the children an Interest In the farm and its work is to allow each a garden plot Let them grow whatever they wish and use It as they please. Liquid manure is made by sawing a barrel in two, or using a tub with a spigot near the bottom. Punch holes In an old lard can through the bottom and around its sides near the bottom, and 1111 with fresh manure. Place tt on the tab, with boards laid across the rob and fill the can with water. Harden plants grown uader cover by exposing them to the son and air and outdoor atmosphere. Bxnoge then out a short time at first and increase the expoeare antil they are hardy. However, they most not be left la tho weather daring high or coM winds, or when frost, snow or Ice are in the air. Match sweet-peas by sowing seeds of any of the low-growing annoais along the pen trenches, and thereby extend their Meemtog season. On s a t try to grow towers or tablet too thickly on the fMHT WSSCT PESTS ALWAYS irutu it «*«•+ ning place two or three ounces of quassia chips (you can buy them from the druggist) In a pail, and fill with boiling water two or three gallons, according to size of pail. Let stand until next morning, then apply the liquid to the plant with a garden syringe, getting the tea on all sides of the fqliage and the stems. If the tea Is applied hand-hot It will be more effective. A strong soap suds made of any good white soap, if applied quite warm, is discouraging to the bug population, and is especially "good" for the green louse or aphis. Red spider affects the outdoor as well as the indoor plants in droughty weather, and are usually found on the underside of the foliage, causing the leaves to turn brown and to curl at the edges. If badly affected, strip the leaves from the plants and burn them. Rose plants will not be hurt by this method, but some plants cannot stand being deleaved, and must be sponged with soap suds leaf by leaf, hand-hot. Asters suffer from root-lice, which Invariably kill them in a^short time, If undisturbed. These lice also attack chrysanthemums, clematis and like plants. Where these pests are at worlr there will be ants also. DO NOT OMIT THE SHRUBS By E. VAN BENTHUYSEN. One corner of my garden shaded from the hot sun is devoted to herbs.

THE FARM LABOR PROBLEM The problem of labor for our farms is looming up as the one great question and in many localities is becoming really serious. Even before we were in war it was a matter of concern. Now the matter can no longer be set aside. There is no doubt that unless steps are taken, before the entire war draft is ran out, to recruit the ranks of the farm laborer, it will be a physical impossibility for our farms to meet the demands that will be made upon them another season. Many localities report that even now the scarcity of farm labor is seriously crippling operations, and when the draft is completed the situation will be even more serious. It ia hoped that the amended regulations will tend to relieve the situation. From the present outlook, it would seem the part of wisdom that the draft apply to farm labor equally with the army. It wouU be hard to tell which is the moat important just at this time. Certain it is that without the farmer our armies will be impotent HOW ESKIMOS HUNT THE SEAL Pursuers of Rich-Furred Animals Sneak Up*Close Enough to 8hoot Arrow Into Their Head. Today the Eskimo method of banting seals Is a primitive calling improved to a fine art, writes a naturalist. When a seal Is discovered the direction of the wind is at once noted. Then the hunter, keeping himself to the leeward of the seal, walks up to within about a quarter of a mile of it. Beyond this he begins to crouch and advances only when the seal's head la down. Now, as the seal is one of the most wide-awake of animals and has the habit of throwing up Its head quickly every few seconds to guard against danger, it follows that the Eskimo has to be extremely alert If he would get his seal. When the seal's head iSxdown upon the Ice Its eyes are shot, and It Is said that in these brief Intervals It takes its sleep. The hunter, by carefully watching the seal's movements, is able without much difficulty to get within about 200 yards of It, but at closer quarters he Is obliged to employ other tactics. He lies down at full length on the Ice. Then the real sport begins. When the seal's head Is down the hunter, who keeps a keen eye on his prey, is able to approach still nearer by dragging himself forward on his elbows. This maneuvering continues for some time, until the distance between man and beast has been reduced to a few yards. When near enough to make a sure shot, the Eskimo takes his bow and arrow from his side and sends a swift shaft through the head of its outwitted companion.

FLOCK TO HER WITH GIFTS Woman In Atlanta Used Slippers as a Baft for Men Friends and Got Many Presents In Return. There was a sharp young lady In Atlanta, who had 40 or more admirers. For each of these she bought slippers, all of the same pattern, which she had an aged seamstress make up, says the Augusta News. Meanwhile she kept a pair for herself in the parlor, where she could have them on hand whenever oue of her lovers called. Of course, each young man asked for whom she was making such pretty slippers. She would reply, with a bewitching smile and half a wink: "Oh, they're for a man friend of mine." Then each infatuated youth went off to invest in a gift. Some bought clothes. Some bought jewelry. One bought furniture. In return, the girl bestowed upon each of them a pair of slippers, worked by the seamstress and footed by a Dutch shoemaker, at an average cost of $2.65 a pair. The presents from her admirers averaged $45 per man. The pair the girl worked herself she presented to a young dry goods clerk in Augusta, to whom she was secretly married. She afterward sold her presents and had enough to start housekeeping. CATARRH MEDICINE. FRANK J. CHENEY. Sworn before me and subscribed in my presence on this 6th day of December A. D. 1886. ' A. W.

The Paris correpondent of the Pall Mall Gasette recently reported a curious suit that should interest the readers of Flaubert's romance of Carthage. The action was broaght^by the niece of Gustave Flaubert against the adapters of "Salamrabo" for the cinema. Flaubert, it will be remembered, finishes his novel with the mobbing and death of Mathos before the eyes of his mistress, who seems entirely Indifferent to his fate. This would not do for the film. The adapters not only save the general's life, but ring down the curtain with, the marriage of the lovers, who "live happily together ever after," and have a multitude of children to grace their old age. This platonic and commonplace ending to A '*mnsterpiece" horrified the dilettantes, who made so much fuss nbout the caricaturing of the story that Flaubert.'^ literary executor felt compelled to take the matter up, and has appealed to the courts for redress. —Kansas City Star. s ••After suffering many months from kidney trouble," writes W.

High-heeled boots were worn by indies for three parts of the eighteenth century. They raised their fair wearers some inches, rendering walking difficult and running Impossible. But these fashions were confined to the rich. The poor wore shoes of wood, reeds and untanned leather. The Highlander made brogans out of untanned deer hide, and the southern nations wore cloth sandals and slippers. It was not until the year 1800 that an Englishman Invented "rights and lefts;" previously both shoes were shaped exactly alike, 80 far as we can discover, the aboriginal tribes of America never went barefooted.

MAKING A MAN OF THE BOY Schoolmaster Has the Great Task in Hand, and on Him Depends the Final Important Outcome. The sum of all admonitions is that the schoolboy must pay attention. That is precisely what hu is doing, writes S. M. Crothers, in die Atlantic. He 1« paying attention to a variety of things that escape the aduit mind. As he wriggles on the bench in the schoolroom he pays attention to all that is going on. He attends to. what is going on out-of-doors; he sees the weak points of his fellow pupils against whom he Is planning punitive expeditions ; and he Is delightfully conscious of the idiosyncrasies of the teacher. Moreover, he is a youthful artist and his sketches from life give acute Joy to his contemporaries when they are furtively passed around. But the schoolmaster says sternly: "My boy, you must learn to pay attention ; that is to say, you must not pay attention to so many things, but you must pay attention to one thing, namely the second declension." Now the second declension is the least interesting thing in the room, but unless he confines his attention to it he will never learn it. Education demands narrowing of attention in the interest of efficiency. A man may, by dint of application to a particular subject, become a successful merchant or real estate man or chemist or overseer of the poor. But he cannot be all these things at the same time. He must make his choice. Having in the presence of witnesses taken himself for better or for worse, he must, forsaking all others, cleave to that alone. The consequence is that by the time he is forty he has become one kind of a man and is able to do one kind of work. Glasgow HAS CHURCH BUILT ON PIER llfrancombe, England, Possesses Historlc Edifice, Where the Sailors Offered Prayer Before Going to Sea. llfrancombe, England, has a church on a pier, and is the only seaside place in the world th:it has such a distinction. Indeed, llfrancombe would not possess the honor were it not for the fnct that Lnnterin Hill forms a part of the pi^r. Those who ar^ue about the matter are always silenced by the plea that you have to go on the the pier in order to enter the church, observes a writer. The curious old building to be seen on the top of the hill has had many strange adventures. It Is dedicated to St. Nicholas, the patron saint of seafaring folk, and In that connection it Is interesting to learn that at one time the old church was used as a lighthouse. In bygone days the sailors used to trudge up the hill to pray before going to sea, and many were the regrets when the little edifice ceased to hold its services. It Is sow used by the pier authorities for storing purposes* but the day may come when It will be restored, and form one of many attractive "sights" llfrancombe already possesses.

Tin cops for taneoos an Many references have been made by writers on Russia to the ikons which are found In such profusion in all parts of the country, and which are a distinguishing feature of Russian national life, notes a correspondent. These ikons are used for devotional purposes, and are not images as some suppose, but pictures of the Savior, the Virgin Mary and the Saints. In these pictures all but the faces and hands are covered with metal-gold or silver or gilt—and the gorgeous ornamentation of the setting fixes the price of the ikon. Ikons are generally painted by pos-.j tulants for the religious life, who use I as their guide a twelfth century manu- I script written by Dlonyslus, the famous prior of Mount Athos. BInck 1 Virgin ikons are not uncommon, while a favorite Madonna was brought from Mount Athos In 1648. This Is known J as the Iberian Mother of God, and Czar Alexis built a splendid chapel to house this sacred treasure in Golden Moscow, "t is known as the Iberian chapel, and 13 silver chandeliers with tapers continually burning stand before the ikon which is decorated with a crown of diamonds and a veil of pearls with other costly gems on the forehead and shoulders.

AGREES TO RELEASE A L L SUBJECTS OF SWITZERLAND IF THEY DEMAND IT. TREATY OF 1850 IS UPHELD War Department, However, Holds That Burden of Finding Their Subjects Is on Foreign Representatives. Washington—Citizens or subjects of European neutral countries regardless of whether they have taken out first papers for American citizenship will SS freed from liability to military in the United States if they through their diplomatic rep. Uives here. Minister Sulzer, of Switzerland, last Friday reached an agreement with the state department whereby Swiss already drafted, and in some Instances actually serving in the American army, shall be discharged if they ctesare upon proof of their Swiss citizenship. $imllar arrnagements may be made by ther neutral representatives and the war department has signified Its willingness to co-operate in securing the quick discharge of drafted aliens entitled to release. In the case of Switzerland, a treaty dating 1850, was the governing point in the state department decision, although the treaty comes In conflict with the draft law so far as first papers declarants are concerned. Regarding Holland, the principle is that of reciprocity, Americans in Hoiland not'being subject to service In the Dutch army. The war department's attitude is that the burden of finding the aliens who have been drafted Is on the ministers. The draft law, according to army Interpretation, gives no alternative and being of subsequent passage to the Swiss treaty the law compels the registration of aliens. The provost marshal general shows that there are 4,929 Swiss citizens registered under the draft law, of whom 1,758 have been called for examination, and 224 accepted for military service. The figures for other European neutrals are: Sweden, regis. tered, 24,663, called, 7,824, accepted, 1,366; Holland, registered, 6,679, called 1,961, accepted, 249; Norway, registered. 16,678, called, 5,039, accepted. 1,004; Denmark, registered, 8,063, called, 2,398, accepted, 516. WHOLE COUNTRY STORM-SWEPT Coldest Weather in Nineteen Years Hits U. S. Washington—The coldest weather experienced in the United States since 1899 Saturday night extended from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic coast and from the lakes to the gulf. Zero temperatures were registered almost as far south as Birmingham, Ala., while in North Dakota the thermometer went to 32 degrees below zero. It was only 12 degrees higher in many parts of the middle west. The cold wave was accompanied by a high wind in many sections, while in the west there was heavy snow, which blocked railroad traffic in several states on both sides of the Mississippi river. Inability of the railroads to deliver shipments of coal urgently needed in many sections, particularly in Ohio and Michigan, increased greatly the suffering caused by the storm.

Chicago—Railroads Saturday abandoned their efforts to run trains in or out of Chicago, and with street cleaning gangs called off, stores and factories closed, the city was not only isolated from the rest of the country but paralyzed within by the unprecedented blizzard. Edward Davis, president of the board of education, ordered the schools closed for the week not only because it was impossible for the pupils to attend but to add the 60,000 boy pupils to the force of snow shovelers were obliged to dig Chicago out of the drifts. Camp Puston, Kansas—Capt Lewifc Whistler, of the 354th infantry, became his own executioner last Saturday after suspicion had been directed at him as the probable slayer of four men who were hacked to death with a hatchet in the bank at the national army camp here Friday night. He shot himself twice in the head with an army revolver. Whistler was identified by the sole survivor of the tragedy, Kearney Wornall. The men In the bank were killed some time after 8:30 o'clock Friday night. Kearney Wornall, cashier of the bank, terribly battered and cut by the assailant, Btumbled from the bank covered with blood and fell at the feet of a passing sentry. He declared that a man in a captain's uniform had killed four men in the bank and had fled. Within ten minutes the military police and Capt. J. C. Smallwood, provost officer, had taken charge of the situation. Guards were thrown about the camp and cities within a radius of 100 miles were notified. Dogs were placed on the trail Footprints of the assailant were found in the bank. Because of Wornall's declaration that a man In a captain's uniform had done the killing, all captains at the post were ordered to report to headquarters and have their fingerprints taken. Whistler did not appear. His body was found in his room in the officers' barracks. Bloody towels were nearby. There were Bplotches of blood on the wash stand. Whistler lay on the opposite side of the room. He had obtained two hatchets from the supply department the previous day. The men killed were: C. Fuller Winters, Kansas City, Mo.; Carl Ohleson, Kansas City, Mo.; John W. Jewell, Springfield, Mo.; 0. *M. Hill, a clerk. Wornall, who is seriously injured, probably will recover.

All communication with the camp was cut off shortly after the storm broke, but telephone communication re-established later revealed that the greatest damage done there was from the rain, which had flooded many of the hospital tents, 16 of which were blown down. It was estimated that 150 patients were in the tents, but early reports from the camp said none of the patients were injured. The collapse of the corral of the One Hundred and Twenty-second infantry caused the only death, reported that of a private. After the tornado passed over the camp, it struck the city, wrecking the race track and baseball grandstands at Central City park and demolishing a building in which wild animals belonging to a circus were quartered.

A well advised commercial authority gives it as hi,s opinion, "as a slow descent may be counted on in the prices for grain when the war ends— it may take several years to restore* the world's stock of foodstuffs to normal— there is good ground for confl« dence in the outlook for rapid development in agriculture." If this be correct, it follows that the profession of farming will materially Increase Its ranks In the next few years. Today, the price of wheat is set by the United States government at $2J» per bushel, and in Canada the price has been set at $2.21. This, of courser is less freight and handling charges which brings the average to the farmers at about $2.00 per bushel. This price will pay so long as Land, material and labor can be secured at reasonable prices. It remains for the would-be producer to ascertain where be can secure these at prices that will make the production of grain profitable. He will estimate what price he can afford to pay for land that will giver him a yield of wheat which when sold at $2.00 per bushel, will return him a fair profij. Local and social conditions will also enter Into the consideration. Finding what he wants he would be wise to make his purchase now. Lund prices in some portions of the country are low, certainly as low as they will ever be. City property and town property will fluctuate, but farm property will hold its own. The price of grain is as low as It will be for some years. Therefore it would be well to look about, and find what can be done. There are doubtless many opportunities in the United States, especially In the Western States, to purchase good agricultural lands, that will produce well, at reasonable prices. If the would-be buyer has the time to Investigate, and that is needed, for these lands do not exist in any considerable area, he would be well repaid. Not only will his land certainly Increase in value—the unearned increment would be an asset—while under cultivation he can find nothing that will give better results. He will at the same time be performing a patriotic net, a needful act, one that would saeet with the facet controller's plea to turn! the deeVdtt^ef^5 utfltteo wheo>T*$erted by the controller. addition to the vacant lands in the United States which should be brought under cultivation, Western Canada offers today the greatest area of Just the land that Is required, and at low prices—prices that cannot last long. Even now land prices are increasing, as their value is dally becoming more apparent, and their location desirable. As to the intrinsic value of land In Western Canada, hundreds of concrete cases could be cited, which go to prove that at fifty and sixty dollars per acre—figures that have recently been paid for improved farms — the crops grown on them gave a profit of from twenty to thirty per> cent and even higher, on such an Investment. One instance, is that of a young Englishman, unaccustomed to farming before he took his seat on the sulky plow with which he does most of his work, after allowing himself $1,000 for his own wages last year, ma*de a profit of $2,200 on a $20,000 investment His total sales amounted to $6,700 and his expense, which included the $1,000 wages for himself, was $8,500.

HOW TO CONSTRUCT RESERVOIRS Reservoirs built in the beds of streams or other depressions are used mainly for irrigation purposes. The dam may be of earth, loose rock, timber, concrete, or masonry, or combinations of two or more of these. However, since on the large majority of sites earth is the most abundant and cheapest material available, it has been used chiefly. The percentage of failure of dams of this type has been large. The main causes have been (1) faulty and inadequate wasteways, (2) porous earthen embankments not properly compacted, and (8) Insecure foundations. Examination for Foundation. When the location for the dam has been decided upon a careful examination of the foundation should be made. Test pits should be sunk at intervals across the stream bed or depression, and if rock or other impervious material Is found near the surface, the more porous top covering should be removed and foundation laid on the Impervious substratum. In any event, all shrubbery, sod, and decayed vegetable matter should bo cleared away before the dam is begun. In the better class of such dams a narrow trench most part in the beds of streams and in the direct line of flood flow, are subjected at times to high water which may carry floating driftwood or other debris. The overflow dam is designed to withstand such severe tests, but the dam considered here Is not of this type. It is intended only to impound water to a certain safe height and to By-pass all surplus waters through the wasteway. This throws a heavy burden upon this structure In times of flood, and it should be of such strength and capacity as to perform Its part without danger to the dam. In making provision for a wasteway it should be borne in mind that a flood may occur when the reservoir Is full, so that the entire flow of the stream must pass through the wasteway. Consideration also should be given to obstructions to the flow of water caused by driftwood and clogging by fish screens. Such features of this type of reservoir as Inlet and outlet pipes, slope protection and the like have been discussed in Farmers' Bulletin No. 828. Commonly Used Method. In the early days of mining in California, someone evolved the Idea of washing down the gold-bearing sand / / ' *T~~ 1» X t , v \ — » t i ' — . • w * M M M M M /7) / J?/ \\ — e:o' 1\ V-Shaped Flume Used in Sluicing. is dug beneath the center of the embankment down to bedrock or other good material and a wall of concrete, known as a rim core wall, is built therein. This wall projects above the surface and serves ¾ purpose similar to a tongue In grooved-and-tongued lumber joints. A clay puddle may be substituted where a concrete core wall around the rim would prove too expensive. In this case a much wider trench should be dug, filled with the best material available, and carefully puddled and rammed. Packing Materials. In building a reservoir embankment est earth many farmers and not a few srs fail to understand the differ- /between an embankment capable of withstanding a load such as Is placed upon It by the passage of a locomotive and one compact and stable enough to. hold water. In highway and railroad fills little, If any, attention Is paid to packing materials, but tn the case pf earth fills to retain water, packing, is necessary. Experience has shown that one of the best ways to pack ordinary dirt which does not con- Rectangular Flume. tain too much clay Is to dump it into water and let nature do the packing. When this method Is not feasible the earth should be placed on the embankment In thin layers and each layer moistened and rolled or otherwise compacted. In some cases the earth can be moistened before it it removed from its natunal site. Cause of Failure. As has been stated, a frequent cause of failure of such dams is faulty wasteways. The dams being built for the MANURE TO INCREASE CROPS by means of powerful streams of water directed against the banks and hillsides. This practice has been Improved and extended and now is a commonly used method of building earthen embankments and of loosening and transferring earthy material for other purposes. In making use of this method an ample supply of water is necessary. What is called the "cutting stream" Is under high pressure from 60 to 100 pounds per square Inch. The pressure may be obtained by gravity fall or by pumping, and the water is conveyed to the material to be excavated In a pressure pipe of suitable diameter. The end of the pressure pipe terminates in a giant from which a stream is directed against the bank of dirt. A large stream of water, but under little or no pressure, then is added to the former stream to carry the material loosened by the giant into a flume or pipe In which it is transported to the dam. Figs. 1 and 2 show two forms of wooden flume used for this purpose. The grade on which they are laid should be as steep as practicable, and never less than about five per cent. Under favorable conditions material can be placed In a dam by this process at a lower cost per cubic yard than by the use of teams and scrapers or teams and wagons. Such embankments are also more compact and water-tight than those built by ordinary methods. Labeled Seeds.

THERMOMETER HITS 20 BELOW Wind Reached Velocity of 60 Miles An Hour—People Snow Bound in Home*—Many Suffer. Lansing—The blizzard which struck the state last Saturday is said to have been the worst Michigan ever experienced. Traffic was completely demoralized, railroad and interurban lines, with very few exceptions, abandoned all attempts to operate. The few that did try to get through were hours late. In a number of cases, on main lines, trains became stalled in the mountains of snow and could not even report their location to the railroad offices. The temperature, which on Friday night was about 25 above, dropped over 40 degrees before Saturday noon, a number of towns and cities reporting 15 and 20 below zero. The wind at times attained a velocity of over 60 miles an hour Millions of people were snow bound in their own homes and in many cases lack of fuel caused intense suffering. The larger cities were also threatened by a milk shortage owing to the non-arrival of milk trains. Several Deaths Reported. Seven people in the state were killed during the storm. Conductor T. C. Hagen and Brakeman Patrick Downey, both of Detroit, members of a Michigan Central freight crew stalled near Grass Lake, just east of Jackson, were struck and killed by a passenger train early Saturday morning during the blizzard. The bodies were not found until late Saturday after several hours' search, as they were supposed to have gone to a farm house to get warm. Albion made the earliest report of a death from the storm. James Caulkins, 51 years old, telegraph operator of exhaustion just after reaching his post for the day's work. Grand Rapids had one woman killed by a train. Mrs. Mary Jankowski, 34 years old, was hauling coal on a sled. Owing to the storm she did not hear the shouts of her son Henry, 8 years old, who tried to warn her of the approach of a Kalamazoo interurban which struck and killed her. A fire in the Wright hotel at Saginaw was responsible for the other three deaths. Owing to the storm the department could not control it. The known victims ware: J. E.

That Is to Introduce the) principle of natural trade by takta* steps to eliminate the fostering device* on which national* aggrandizement defends. It might not be possible to reach every scheme for artificial tradedevelopment which will lift Its head, but the tariff can be stripped off, and the granting of ship-subsidies and bounties, and all the cruder forms of industrial parentalism. This would at least go far toward the organization -^ of the sisterhood of nations on the true competitive basis of relative inherent skill, knowledge, and ability. In that direction lies the open road to peace and progress. The world may not delude itself; It must take that highway, or accept the principle of the trade war which goes hand In hand with Mars. T CAR DROPS INTO ICY RIVER Eleven People Hurt When Interurban Crashes Through Bridge. Toledo, O.—Eleven persons were lerlously injured Saturday when a Lima interurban car left the track, crashed through the Main street bridge over the Ottawa river, and plunged 12 feet to the river. The front of the car broke through the river ice and the car stuck there with the rear end straight up in the air. Motorman Waismith blamed the accident on a freight car crew which went over the track a short time before. He says the freight crew left the freight switch, leading to the freight house, open which caused the passenger car to leave the track. Clearly a Good Idea.

Hannibal Qoodwln, United Stats* Supreme Court Holds, Was ONglrtator of Photographlo Feature. Watching for three hours the unreeling of a stupendous film, one not only marvels where this art will end, but also wonders where It began, says a writer. It may almost be said to have begun In the pulpit, for although the Idea was In the old toy called the "wheel of life,** yet without the photographic film the cinematograph would have been Impossible, and that was, according to the judgment of the United States Supreme court, the Invention of Rev. Hannibal Goodwin. Mr. Goodwin was pastor of the Episcopal church In Newark, N. J., and was a great lover of children, although he had none of his own. He was always scheming for their enjoyment, and It was in order to make a picture machine to amuse his Sunday school that he turned his attention to photographic films, the secret of which he discovered In the early eighties of the last century. He made the films in the old rectory, and sometimes he went directly from the pulpit to the laboratory In his vestments. He resigned his pastorate In 1888, but It was not for ten years later that he obtained his patent. He was about to put his films on the market when he met with an accidental death in 1900. Mr. Goodwin got nothing out of an invention which has made tens of millions. <*m »VVrI*lit*f£iiapeI Chats The Red Cross met with the Watters sisters last Friday.

Leach, assistant State Fuel Administrator of Ohio. "lithe Lusitania were now floating the seas, the coal used annually in the manufacture of beer in this country wool* furnish fuel for 72ft round trips far the giant ship and transport 28,595,- 000* tone of supplies to the allies. "Coal used for the manufacture of beer in Ohio alone would furnish more than 60 round trips and carry nearly 2,000,000 tons of supplies a year to the allies. "It requires ISO,000 cars, 3,000 trains a day, to move the raw materials to the breweries. "We have heard a great deal about the grain in the beer and about the sugar in the beer, but we have heard little about the coal in beer. Coal is one of the principal ingredients. It takes almost a pound of coal to produce a pint of beer." A Romping Heaven.

The public always tries to make Its favorites respectable, those It truly loves. It longs to make them more like Itself. It delights to read of happy family life among its beloved artists, and of the pure summers of the movie star who lives with her mother and has a garden, observes the New Republic. The course of Mary Anderson comforted and justified thousands of housewives for their mild domesticities and their distrust of the stage. Even the public's favorite romancer lived with his wife three years before he married her, and he did not even suffer from a wasting illness; but they will not have it so, and are fast turning him Into a pitiful, cheery saint and martyr aa flat and sweet aa their own ideals, "the favorite short story writer embesaled and went to the penitentiary and loved poker, but they want to make him an over* flowing human heart wandering about taking snap-shots. They have spent more time raking over and clearing S> the records of Goethe and roe and yron and Shelley than they ever •pent on the poems. Taxation la Rasnc During a certain period tfio republic of Borne did not pay tataa, The third Macedonian war resulted In victory for the Romani aid brought to aa and the ancient kingdom of Macedonia la l t t B. 0.. In describing the triumph accorded the victorious Roman general It is related that the celebration continued for three days. On the first day £90 wagons carried the statutes and paintings which had been plundered from Macedonian cities. On the next day there passed many wagons, carrying Macedonian standards and armor, followed by &.000 men loaded with 'the silver money and silver plate [which had been secured In the booty. : On the third day came a procession of men carrying gold spoil, followed by the conqueror in a splendid chariot Rome so filled her coffers with treasure by this plunder that the republic never thereafter taxed her citizens. Thus, while the statement is historically true, the fact that there was no taxation In the ancient Roman republic for a period of several years is not at all creditable to the Romans, for the condition was the result of plunder instead of the economical administration of public affairs. mm n 0 mm* mmmmmmmmmmm HERE AND THERE M*MMa)sja*a»a«sjsM At a meeting of the board of directors of the Livingston County Fair Association, held Jan, 4, August 27, 28, 29 and 30 were fixed as the dates for the next fair and the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, L.

Prospects are thought to be good for the re-opening of some of the old mines in Sandstone and Spring Arbor townships. These have not been in operation in several years, being closed] because of the fact that coal from the state of Ohio could be shipped here and sold cheaper than the home product Competent engineers have, after looking into the matter thoroughly, decided that at the present prices of coal the old mines could be operated and |the output used for f actorias and large consumers reqniring steam coal only. For domestic use it is not so good as the coal shipped from the southern states. —Springport Signal.

Every contention raised against the selective draft was swept aside by the supreme court Monday in a unanimous opinion delivered by Chief Justice White, upholding the law as constitutional. Authority to enact the status and to send forces to fight the enemy wherever he may be found, the court held, ties in the clause of the constitution giving congress the power to declare war and to raise and support armies.

A Charlotte citiian comments on taw knitting problem by calling attention to a recant justice court where one farmer was charged by another with stealing a rooster and three chickens aa follows: "While the papers and magazines are making serious discussions of whether women should knit or not it might be asked if that is not more patriotic than for an aged justice, prosecuting attorney, six business men ai jurors and several farmers with families spending the coonyt'i money and a day's time in trying to find nut whether a roorter and three hens walked across the road or were carried across". • » The Knife Cuts Deeper We will not carry over Ladles' Coats v-.«•-.. .-JKSiK-'-l&i All *«5 and ¢28-50 Cloth Coats now $14*98, AH 1x8 ami $20 Gloth Coat* now . ~ $ 1 3 « 0 8 i r All I27.50 and J30 Plush Coats now $19*01 All Ladies' Suits (fao to $30 values) Ofiavholf j»»i< All Children's Coats ($5 to $13 value)-.One-third p f l c e Besides above Coats, all new this season, we have eight Black Plush Coats left of original $20 and $22.50 valuet/fcut not new this season at $ 1 0 . 0 0 each.

The largest snakes known are found In Brazil, and one would have to go far into the Interior to find them. They are found in the immense valley of the Amazon river and its tributaries, observes a naturalist. This extensive basin, being low ground, consists partly of swamps and forest jungle, Into which white men seldom penetrate. The forest and vegetation are so dense that the sun cannot get through to the ground, and being right under the equator, the continual, oppressive, moist heat makes this Jungle and swamps the ideal breeding place snakes known in Brazil, not 10 per cent are venomous, and of these very few of the big ones.

Pinckney, Livingston Ctmnty, Michigan, Thursday, Jan. 24, J 918 p»»« No. 4 Itopilsto Pledge Allegiance to Flag Every public school pupil in Michigan will, Friday, January 25, when school opens, salute an American flag in the school room and say in unison: "I pledge allegiance to my flag and to the Republic for which it stands; one nation indivisible, with liberty and jusrice for all." Every Monday morning thereafter the pupils will go thru the same salute and repeat the pledge. F. L. Keeler, superintendent of public instruction, has ordered the observance, and hss sent broadcast pamphlets containing necessary instructions to teachers. On Monday mornings patriotic instructions of some nature will be given to the pupils. The sentiments of loyal Americana will be read to them and patriotic songs sung. January 26 ia the anniversary of the admission of Michigan to the Union. As that day falls on Saturday, a school holiday, Mr. Keeler has set Friday as school anniversary day. The proper way to give the pledge with the salute is as follows: Right hand uplifted palm downward, to a line with the forehead and close to it Standing thus, all repeat the pledge slowly. At the words "to my flag" the right hand is extended gracefully palm upward, toward the flag and remains in this position to the end of the affirmation, wheaeupon it quickly drops to the side. • • * • » - . . * > • • Attention Ladies of Putnam We have been requested by headquarter* to have our surgical dressings, when packed, ready for France.

Nile*, writing in the Hotel Gazette, who believes that the present shortage of meat and fats will not end with the coming of peace, but may grow more acute and ojatlnue for five or six years, thus making It worth while to develop menus of grain, vegetables and fish on a more or less permanent basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals and other protein foods, or may be served in very small portions as a flavoring for other food. In making up meatless menus this author finds our American Creole and southern cuisine a broad field for Investigation.

THE STARR FAMILY IS SETTING MUCH STORE BY JERRY JUNIOR, TO BE, BUT MOTHER NATURE DOESN'T TELL ALL HER SECRETS Synopsis.—The story concerns the household of Rev. Mr. Starr, a Methodist minister at Mount Mark, Iu., and the affairs of his five lovable daughters—Prudence, the eldest; Fairy, the next; Carol and Lark, twins; and Connie, the "baby." Prudence marries and goes away. Her place as "mother" in the home is taken by Aunt Grace. Fairy is engaged to wed. The twins and the "baby," Just coming Into womanhood, have the usual boy-and-girl love affairs, and the usual amazing adventures of adolescence. Carol discovers love. CHAPTER IX—Continued. —10— "Yes. he wanted to. But Prudence has set her heart on coming home. She says she'll never feel that Jerry Junior got the proper start if it happens any place else. They'll have a trained nurse." "Jerry—what?" gasped the twins, after a short silence due to amazement. "Jerry Junior—that's what they call it." "I—think I'll go and see," said Mr. Starr, turning heavily. Jerry hesitated a minute. "I—think I'll go along," he said. For an instant their eyes met, sympathetically, and did not smile though their lips curved. Down in the kitchen, meanwhile. Fairy sat somberly beside the tabl3 with a pile of darning which she jabbed at viciously with the needle. Lark was perched on the ice chest, but "But how on earth do they know?" | Carol, true to her childish Instincts, "They don't know. But they have to hunched on the floor with her feet call it something, haven't they? And | curled beneath her. Connie leaned they want a Jerry Junior. So of course they'll get It.

It seemed cozier somehow when they were all together in the little kltchehn. "Is she all right?" "Sure, she's all right." came the bright response from their father, And then silence. "Oh, you make me sick," cried Carol. "Everybody does It." "Carol Starr, if yon say 'everybody oeumap habatoiuc t it.™ *E*v*e^r™yb°o*d y does ?it*. • *A*n-d )f does it' again I'll send you to bed, M B n n a i , v,oit,Tt t 4 T W I + „_ ,, : "N Connie may have a few suggestions of her own to offer. You tell Prue I'm thinking out a lot of good advice for her, and—" "Yon must write her yourselves. She wanted us to tell you long before." Fairy picked up the little embroidered dress and kissed it, but her fond eyes were anxious. So, a few weeks later, weeks crowded full of tumult and anxiety, yes, and laughter, too, Prudence and Jerry came to Mount MarV and settled down to quiet Ufe in the parsonage. The girls kissed Prudence very often, leaped quickly to do her errands, and touched her with nervous fingers. But mostly they sat across the room and regarded her curiously, shyly, quite maternally. "Carol and Lark Starr," Prudence cried crossly one day, when she Intercepted one of these surreptitious glances, "you march right upstairs and shut yourselves up for thirty minutes. And If you ever sit around and stare at me like a stranger again, HI spank you both, rm no outsider. I belong here just as much as ever I did. And Tm still the head of things around here, tool" The twins obediently marched, and after that Prudence was more Hire Prudence, and the twins were much more twinnlsn, ao that life was very nearly normal in the old parsonage. Prudence said she couldn't feel quite satisfied because the twins were too old to be punished, but she often scolded them In her gentle, teasing way, and the twins enjoyed It more than anything else that happened during those days of <nriet, , Then cane a night when the four sisters huddled breathlessly in the kitchen, and Aunt Grace and the trained nurse stayed behind with Prudence behind the closed door of the front room upstair*. And the doctor went In, too, after he had inflicted a few light-hearted remarks upon the two men in the little library.

But Prudence isn't everybody." "Maybe we'd better have a lunch," suggested their father hopefully, knowing the thought of food often aroused his family when all other means had failed. But his suggestion met with dark reproach. "Father, if you're hungry, take a piece of bread out into the woodshed," begged Connie. "If anybody eats anything before me I shall Jump up and down and scream." After that the silence was unbroken save once when Carol began encouragingly : "Every—" "Sure they* do," interrupted Fairy uncompromisingly. And then—the hush. Long, long after that, when the girls' eyes were heavy, not with want of sleep, but Just with unspeakable wear!* ness of spirit—they heard a step ou the stair. "Come on up, Harmer," the doctor called. And then, "Sure, she's all right. She's fine and dandy—both of them are." Jerry was gone in an Instant, and L>. Starr looked after him with Inscrutable eyes. "Fathers are—only fathers/' he said enigmatically. "Tea," agreed Carol. "Yes. In a crista, the other man goes first." His daughters turned to him then, tenderly, sympathetically. T o n had your turn, father." Connie consoled him. And felt repaid for the effort when be smiled at her. "Jerry Junior," Lark mused. **He*s here.—'Aunt Lark, may I hare a eookyr" A few minutes later the door was carefully shored open by means of a cautious foot and Jerry stood before them, holding In his arms a Mg bundle of delicately tinted flannel. -"Ladies and gentlemen," he began, beaming at them, his face flushed, his eyes bright embarrassed, but thoroughly satisfied. Of course Prudence waa the dearest girl In the world, and he adored her, sad—hut this was different this was fatherhood 1 "Ladles and gesrtiemem," he said again to the tender, half-Uughing sotea that Prudence loved, l o t sat iatredsjee to you my tittle daughter, fairy Bar* lleye It Not Fairy J Ton are Joking," "Of course it is Fairy," he said. "Look out, Connie, do you want to break part of my daughter off the first thing? Oh, I see. It was jtut the flannel, was it? Well, you must be care* fui of the flannel, for when ladies are the size of this one, you can't tell which is flannel and which is foot. Fairy Harmer! Here, grandpa, what do you think of this? And Prudence said to send you right upstairs, and hurry. And the girls must go to bed immediately or they'll be sick tomorrow. Prudence sayH so." "Oh, that's enough. That's Pruderce all over! You needn't tell us any nSBjre Here, Fairy Harmer, let us look at you. Hold her down, Jerry. Mercy! Me*rcy i" "Isn't she a beauty?" boasted the young father proudly. "A beauty? A beauty! Tftat!" Carol rubbed her slender fingers over her own velvety cheek. "They talk about the matchless skin of a new-born lufant. Thanks. I'd just as lief have my own." "Oh, she isn't acclimated yet, that's all. Do you think she looks like me?" "No, Jerry, I don't," said Lark candidly. "I never considered you a dreftm of loveliness, by any means, but in due honesty I must admit that you don't look like that." "Why, it hasn't any hair!" Connie protested. "Well, give it-time," urged the baby's father. "Be reasonable, Connie, What can you expect In fifteen minutes." "But they always have a little hair," she Insisted. "No, indeed, they don't, Miss Connie," he said flatly. "For if they always did, ours would have. "Now don't try to let on there's anything the matter with her, for there isn't.—Look at her nose, if you don't like her hair.—What do you think of a nose like that now? Just look at it." "Yes, we're looking at It," was the grim reply. "And—and chin—look at her chin. See here, do you mean to say you are making fun of Fnlry Harmer? Come on, tootsie, we'll go 'oack upstairs. They're crazy about us up there." "Oh. see the cunning little footles," crowed Connie. "Here, cover 'em up,' said Jerry anxiously. "You mustn't let their feet stick o:it. Prudence says so. It's considered very—er, bad form, I believe." "Fairy! Honestly, Jerry, is it Fairy? When did you decide?" "Oh, a long time ago," he said, "years ago, I guess. You see, we always wanted a girl. Prue didn't think she hud enough experience with the stronger sex yet, and of course rm strong for the ladles. But It seems that what you want is what you don't get. So we decided to call her Fairy when she came, and then we wanted a boy, and talked boy, and got the girl! Let go, Connie, it Is my daughter's bedtime. There -now, there now, baby, was she her daddy's little girl?" Flushed and laughing, Jerry broke away from the admiring, giggling, nearly tearful girls, and hurried upstairs with Jerry Junior. But Fairy stood motionless by the door. "Prudence's baby," she whispered. "Little Fairy Harmer! — Mmmmmmra!" \ -Not—not Fairy r cried Fairy, 1ST, tearfully. -Oh, Jerry. I doat he- CHAPTER X. The End of Fairy. Now that the twins had attained to the dignity of eighteen years, and were respectable students at the thoroughly respectable Presbyterian college, they had dates very frequently. And It was along about this time that Mr. Starr developed a sudden interest in the evening callers at his home. He bobbed up unannounced In most unexpected places and at most unexpected hours. He walked about the house with a sharp, sly look in his eyes, In a way that could only be described as Carol said, by "downright noisiness." The girls discussed this new phase of his character when they were alone, but decided not to mention it to him, for fear of hurting his feelings. "Maybe he's got a new kind of a sermon up his brain," said Carol. "Maybe he's beginning to realise that his clothes are wearing out Again," suggested Lark. "He's too young for second childhood." Connie thought So they watched him curiously. Aunt Grace, too. obi«rved this queer devotion on the part of the minister, and finally her curiosity overcame her habit ef keeping client. "William," she said gently, -what's the matter with you lately? la there anything on your mind?** Mr. Starr started nervously. "My mind? Of course not Why?** "Ton seem to be Uoking for something. You watch the girls so closely, you're always hangtnf around, and—" He smiled broadly. -Thanks for that 'Hanging around,' tn my own parsonage. That is the gratitude of a loving family r Aunt Grace smiled. "Well, I see there's nothing much the matter with yon. I was seriously worried. I thought there was something wrong, • -Sort of mentally unhalaaced, hi that ttf Oh, no, rai J u t faantUr." the family t Tan -Oh, only in the most honorable way, of course. Ten see," he gave his ex* planation with an air of relief, -Prudence always says I must keep an eye on Carol. She's so pretty, and the boys get stuck on her, and—that's what Prudence says, I forgot all about It for a while. But lately I have begun to notice that the boys are older, and— we don't want Carol falling in love with the wrong man. I got uneasy. I decided to watch out I'm the head of this family, you know." "Such an idea I" scoffed Aunt Grace, who was not at all of a scoffing nal true. •'Carol was born for lovers, Prudence says so. And these men's girls have to be watched, or the wrong fellow wiU get ahead, and—" "Carol doesn't need watching—not any more at least." ''I'm not really watching her, you know. Tm just keeping my eyes open." "But Carol'B all right. That's one time Prudence was away off," She smiled as she recognized a bit of Carol's slang upon his lips. Don't worry about her. You needn't keep an eye on her any more. She's coming, all right." "You don't think there's any danger of her falling in love with the wrong man?" "No." "There aren't many worth-having fellows in Mount Mark, you know." "Carol won't fall in love with a Mount Mark fellow." "You seem very positive." "Yes, Tm positive." He looked thoughtful for a while. "Well, Prudence always told me te watch Carol, so I could help her If shJ needed it." "Girls always need their fathers," came the quick reply. "But Carol does not need you particularly. There's only one of them who will require especial attention." "That's what Prudence says." "Yes, Just one—not Carol." "Not Caroll" He looked at her In astonishment. "Why, Fairy and Lark are—different. They're all right. Thex don't need attention." . "No. It's the other one." "The other one! That's all." "There's Connie." "Connie?" "Yes." "Connie?" "Yes." "You don't mean Connie." Aunt Grace smiled. "Why, Grace, you're—you're off. Excuse me for saying It, but—you're crazy. Connie—why, Connie has never been any trouble In her life. Connie!" "You've never had any friction with Connie, she's always been right so far. One of these days she's pretty likely to be wrong, and Connie doesn't yield very easily." "But Connie's ao sober and straight, and—** "That's the kind." "She's so conscientious." " "Yes, conscientious." "She*8—look here, Grace, there's nothing the matter with Connie." "Of course not, William. That isn't what I mean. But you ought to be getting very, very close to Connie right now, for one of these days she's going to need a lot of that extra companionship Prudence told you about. Con* nie wants to know everything. She wonts to see everything. None of the other girls ever yearned for city life, Connie does. She says when she is through school she's going to the city.** "What c i t y r "Any city." "What for?" "For experience." Mr. Starr looked about him helplessly. -There's experience right here," he protested feebly. "Lots of i t Entirely too much of it" "Well, that't Connie. She wants to know, to see, to feel. She wants to live. Get close to her, get chummy. She may not need It and +hen again she may. She's very young yet." "All right I will. It Is well I have some one to steer me along the proper road." He looked regretfully out of the window. 1 ought to be able to see these things for myself, but the girls seem perfectly all right to me. They always have. I suppose it's because they're mine." Aunt Grace looked at him affectionately. "It's because they're the finest girls on earth," she declared. -That*a why.

THE ONION AND THE PARSNIP By W. R. GILBERT. Onions can never have too rich a /oil for their requirements. Parsnips can, and all we want for the latter Is a deeply tilled plot in fairly good earth, to which no fresh manure has recently been added. This, given fairly dry weather conditions, should be made ready as earlj as possible, as the sooner the seeds are got in, with safety, the better the chances will be for their developing into shapely, usable roots of good size. As a matter of fact, we> never see parsnips too big, provided the roots are clean and shapely, but undersized specimens with possible prongs to their bodies are hardly worth the dig- Sing. Most of the pronging, possibly all of it, arises from the prepared oil. If white sand can be had to incorporate with the soil, It should be freely used. In digging, two spits at least are necessary, and if the grower chooses to go another foot he will be repaid for his trouble. After digging a dry day and dry soil should be given for working the whole with a digging fork; after that some little consolidation of the surface will be necessary to prevent sinking into hollows during the process of sowing. For this the surface must be sufficiently dry to prevent all suspicion of clinging to the feet, and if you cannot have those happy conditions just at the time wanted, you must wait for thera. Drills about two Inches In depth should be drawn for the seeds, and as we want really food roots, the drills may well "be drawn 18 inches apart. In these the seeds should be sown thinly, and the error of putting in 50 seeds where but one is wanted should not be so common. Allowance must, of course, Ife made for failures, but two seeds should never tonch, or there is trouble for the thinner, who, in pulling one is apt to pull both. The onion Is a deeper rooting subject than many are aware of and although all w e want is above ground, to get that good the roots go down into it, so deep tillage in this case is desirable. If the ground is well worked, under dry conditions, it can be thoroughly firmed, and it can hardly be too firm or too much consolidated for onions prior to sowing. . The drills may he drawn as for parsnips, but closer together, one foot apart being ample, and after sowing with a thoroughly dry surface the roller may be-brought into requisition, or failing t h a t well walked and finally smoothed over with the back of s rake. leaves which should have been their winter coverlet. Loosen them up gradually, taking care that the plants are not smothering. If the weather continues fine, work the loose leaves a little more into the soil every day, thus gradually making the change. If you wish to mark a choice specimen, tie a string around it while in bloom. The flowers come and go so rapidly that one must be prompt to be sure of marking the prize. Some cut the tops from hyacinths as soon as the leaves turn yellow, remove them end plant to annuals. This is a very neat way of getting rid of the bulbs—and most effectual as a rule. But if you wish hyacinths another year, there is a hetter way, unless you can afford to purchase new bulbs. Those discolored leaves nre n necessity, to the plant which Is ripening the bulbs, and if they cannot he tolerated a permissible compromise Is to transplant the bulbs to some out-of-the-way corner of the yard, where they can ripen in peace. They may then bo dried and packed away for autumn planting. It is better to replant the hardy bulbs at least once in two or three years, else they become too thickly matted. Besides, the soil needs a renewal of fertilizer; and this can never be done so well as when the bed is empty. There Is often complaint that the old-fashioned double-white Xorclssus Poeticus blasts in the bud. This Is usually remedied by resetting the bulbs, which have become matted together. If you have a number of varieties of tulips and more time or patience than money to buy new varieties, there is often much pleasure in growing tulips from seed. Some of the soft shades in old rose have been in our own garden evolved from the cross-fertlliaation of standard forms. There is pleasure, too, in watching the unfolding of the unknown. N e w varieties purchased of seedmen are always announced and their beauties described ; but these seedlings are positively new, and some of them are strikingly beautiful. If in planting your tulips, carmine and scarlet are in painful contrast, mark the one for removal at the proper season. Some flowers show only harmony In varietal colore, bnt the tulip cannot be classed among these. DO NOT PLANT TOO DEEP CTBP CTHB fiOOflHH EARLY WORK IN THE BULB GARDEN By L. M. BENNINGTON.

GOERNMENT OWNERSHIP^ Now that the government has assumed administrative control of the railroads of the country, the attention of the public is leaping foaward to the possible contingency of government of government ownership. Already the management of the roads have conceded that this would probably come, and express themselves as desiring such an outcome. There are many of the American CORN WILL WIN DEMOCRACY'S WAR America's Greatest Cereal Crop Is Now, Moving to Market MAINSTAY IN NATION'S CRISIS. Surplus Wheat of tha United States Has Been Sent to Famine Threat- «ned Europe* America's great corn crop, exceeding 8,000,000,000 bushels, will save the world's food situation, officials of the United States food administration believe. Corn is the nation's best food cereal, housewives are beginning to realize. It contains all the elements needed to keep the body in a state of health and when used according to the scores of tried recipes, especially when combined with an added portion of oil or fat, will sustain life indefinitely. Indian warriors in colonial days lived on parched corn alone for many days at a time, and at Valley Forge parched corn was at times the sole ration of the Continental soldiers. Owing to transportation difficulties caused by people who believe that the govern the war the corn crop moved ment must eventually control all public} more slowly to market this year than utilities. Most people, however, require to be shown, and will wait with keen interest the results of the present move. If the government can demonstrate its ability to bring order out of chaos of transportation conditions, it will go a long way toward convincing the doubting Thomases among us, -and and the step from government control to government ownership may be a short one and easily taken. There are a number of features of the present control which, if successfully worked out, will clearly demonever before. Now, however, the cereal Is reaching the millers and consumers. In the meantime the nation's surplus wheat has been sent to Europe. Today there are approximately 30 bushels of corn for every American. This quantity Is greater by live bushels than in former years. Corn has become the nation's mainstay in the crisis of war. Just as this cereal saved the first American colonists from famine on many occasions, just as it served as a s t a p l e foot! d u r i n g t h e W a r o f t h e R e v - o l u t i o n a n d ( l u r i n g t h e Civil \Yi\\\ K i n g C o r n h a s a.^ain c o m e t o t h e f r o n t In Artificial Wood Froro Leaves. Artificial wood from dried leaves— especially those of oak, beech or birch —is a new product, reported from Austria, using even cheaper waste material than the sawdust already similarly utilized. The loaves are finely E u n d , mixed with a suitable binder, ped In molds under a pressure of atmospheres, and dried by heat while still under pressure. The best binder Is stated to be viscose, though this may be strengthened by the addl« Uon of a little glue, water-glass, casein, rosin, or other substance. Ths (ground leaves are boiled with soda lye before mixing with the solution of viscose ; and the viscose may be prepared from a portion of the leaf powder by treating with soda lye and then with carbon disulphide. Coloring matter may be added to the leaf powder or to the pasty mixture. Some filler may 'be desirable for special purposes, and the materials suitable Include asbestos, infusorial earth, wood flour and peat flour. Rabbits of the World. All of the domestic varieties of rabfblts, except the Belgian hare, are descendants of the burrowing rabbits of the Old World, and the big European Ihare, almost as large as our western Jackrabblt, is the ancestor of the socalled Belgian form, which is now quite popular as a domestic animal of !profit and is becoming more so, observes an exchange. In the Northern hemisphere of the sVew World we have many more species j of hares than the Old World can boast i of, as the cottontail, the Southern swamp hare, the Arctic hare or snowjahoe rabbit and two species of Western Jackrahblts or giant hares. Yet ;we have not successfully domesticated ione of these forms, though this might !be done as a matter of profit in the production of meat. strate the ability of the government to i Uie nation's kittle with av handle the huge problem. Foremost among these is the problem of labor. For a number of years now the operatives haAe been consolidating their craft organizations and of late have presented almost a solid front to the management, so that any demand of theirs inevitably assumed the aspect of a threat. And a threat from them the management knew to be frought with grave danger. It will be interesting to watch the progress of the government in handling this huge army of thoroughly organized workers. The railroads themselves have failed in the task; can Uncle Sam succeed? When President Wilson proclaimed the roads under government control, there was pending before the management a demand from the men for something like a 40 per cent raise in wages. This the roads have promptly shifted to the shoulders of the government. Will the demand be granted; and if not, will the men have the nerve to press their demand? If this transpires, what will be the government's action. Government policy in other hnes of controll has not been at all favorable to labor organizations. For some time now the railroad heads have contended that the demands of the men were unreasonable. Uncle Sam is a liberable paymaster, but should his view coincide with that of the management, the men may find that their attitude in the past has baen a large factor in shifting them from the frying pan into the fire.

Hundreds ot housewives and many of the larger bakers are mixing 20 per cent, corn meal with wheat flour to make leavened bread. This kind of a mixture is worked and baked in the same recipes and with the same methods that apply to straight wheat bread. Corn bread—using corn meal entirely— Is gaining a greater popularity than ever before. Housewives are coming to realize that every pound of wheat saved In America means a pound of wheat released for shipment to the nations with which America is associated In the war. There are a score of corn products that today possess unusual Importance for Americans. Corn syrup for sweetening corn cakes and buckwheat cakes and for use In the kitchen Instead of granulated sugar Is one of the leading products made from corn.

The angler could cast a fly, and had caught trout in the south of England, but had never so much as seen a salmon river. Great was his joy, therefore, when one day he received an invitation to fish one of the most famous spring salmon rivers in the north of Scotland, relates the Field. In the very first cast that he tried he hooked and landed his first salmon—a tcnpounder. The first salmon i'j always the most perfect and beautiful that ever was seen, and the angler reflected that if | lie carried his fish in the bag all day it would dry and lope its lovely sheen, j On the top of the brae there was a marshy nook that would answer his purpose admirably. He deposited his treasure in this nest and, having covered it with a thick layer of rushes, went on his way. The rest of the day he caught nothing except a half-pound trout. Still he was very happy and content as he turned homeward, and whistled merrily as he approached the marshy nook. But there he found a Highland cow In the act of consuming his salmon, of which little remained except the head and the tall. In his anger he flung the trout savagely at the cow, hitting her fully In the face; but, so far from taking offense, she seemed rather to think that he had brought | WANT COLUNM \ NOTICE—If you want your shoes tapped, your harness repaired, the rips in your shoes sewed up, your rubbers or rubber boois tapped or patched ar i warranted not to leak, good work done and prices lower than others, call on W.

Romilly, who was of French descent, launched an agitation against these codes, and In 1808 he succeeded in repealing the Elizabethan statute which made it a capital offense to steal privately from the person of another. From that time until his death he waged war unceasingly against these cruel statutes, renewing his motions session after session, and although he failed, he cleared the way for the success of others who kept np the agitation. Romilly was devoted to his wife, and when she died, October 29, 1818, the philanthropist fell into a delirium of grief.

FROGS AND WHAT THEY EAT Croakers Thrive on Almost Any Form of Animal Life Small Enough to Be Seized and Swallowed. The food of the frog consists of earthworms, insects, spiders and any form of animal life small enough to be seized and swallowed. Large frogs will often devour their smaller relatives. The big bullfrog is an especially dangerous enemy to other members of its kind. It has been known even to ent small birds. Some frogs are fond of snails and will swallow them shells and all, says Boy's Life. It is interesting to note that frou:s can eat bees and wasps notwithstanding the sting. In seizing food it usually makes use of its curious extensile tonfcue, which can be thrust out of the mouth with surprising rapidity. The tongue is attached to the front of the jaw, its forked rear end free so that it can be flipped out of the mouth. It is supplied wi'h a slirhy sren.>| h m that picks up- the f.md. Th" fVo:: cannot sei. an ohjc'i near \n iN-lf. Any dandling bait sh"t:M, ile'ivioiv, lie at a distance of from two to three feet. Frogs may ho caugln by dangling small bits of red yarn before them on a hook and sometimes even without a hook. When the yarn is seized the animal may be jerked out of the water. Bullfrogs kept in captivity readily attempt to swallow one's fingers. TIMES AND PLACE FOR SLEEP Churches and Street Cars Are Favored But the Cozy Bed Affords a Most Delightful Pastime. There are lots of people who say they don't sleep well at night. But there are many who regularly go to sleep in the street car. Of course, those who go to sleep In church are not counted. That might be construed as libel, observes the Milwaukee News. But why do perfectly healthy folks want to sleep In street cars? Is It a protest against the wlstfnl-eyed straphanger who gases at their large and apethetie laps? Is It mere whim, desiring to shut out the events of the day and snatch a quiet moment of dreaming as a respite? It is often mere pie, Just a rampant .indigestion.

There were two good reasons for this condition. One was that the barracks get the first steam from the plants, and the other was that from the major-general, who sat at the wheel of his big car and smashed his way through the drifts after all traffic had been abandoned, down to the last second lieutenant, each man with shoulder straps was devoting every minute of his time to watching over the enlisted men. Plan Rest house for Women at Camp. Camp Custer is now likely to have a hostess house where mothers, sisters and sweethearts of soldiers can meet them for week-end visits. Major-General James Parker, commandant of the cantonment, has approved, through Captain Newman, his aide, and the Y. W. C. A. has been notified of his decision. The national Y. W. C.

None of the dead or injured are from Michigan. The men were killed and injured by the falling of a cage mast, the first accident of its kind in the navy. NEW DRAFT REGISTRATION BILL Administration Proposes to List Men When They Become Twenty-one. Washngton—The government has decided on draft registration of all young men as fast as they become 21 years old as the means of keeping filled the ranks of the war army. It has decided against raising the draft age limit above 31 years. An administration bill has been introduced at the request of the war department, by Chairman Chamberlain, of the senate military committee, to register for draft all men who have reached 21 since June 5, 1917, when the draft law became effective. The adminlstraton's support seems to assure its prompt passage. The bills agree with recent recommendations of Provost Marshal General Crowder.

Washington—In spite of the storm of protest from business interests throughout the nation, the order by national fuel administrator Garfield, closing factories from January 18 to 22, was upheld. Problems rising out of the hardships faced by more than seven million employes in the affected territory are a d ' mittedly great. Appeal was made t o industries not to curtail wages for the "rest" period any more than is absolutely necessary. Extra precautions were taken to prevent outbreaks of any kind resulting from enforced idleness of millions of workers for five dayB. Congress, the White House and other departments fairly shook under the reaction from the order. In addition to the five day suspension of business, the next nine Mondays will be virtual holidays, when alt industries and amusements must close. The order is compulsory and carries a fine of $5,000 or one year's imprisonment for violations. It will be enforced by state fuel administrators. Hopeless scarcity of fuel, combined with congestion of shipments caused by the recent storm tie-ups In the middle west forced the fuel administration to take this sudden and far reaching step. 600,000 in Michigan Affected. Lansing—According to reliable estimates prepared from reports by State Fuel Commissioner Fletcher, the order issued by the federal fuel administrator closing all factories for five days,, approximately 600,000 factory employes in Michigan were temporarily out of employment. U-BOAT CREWS START MUTINY Thirty-eight Officers Reported Killed By German Sailors. London—A mutiny among submarine crews at the German naval base of Kiel on January 7 is reported in an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Geneva. Thirty-eight officers are said to have been killed. The Geneva dispatch quotes advices received there from Basel giving details concernng the mutiny. It is said to have been begun by submarine crews and subsequently to have spread to portions of the crews of cruisers stationed at Kiel. Some of the men who joined in the attack on the officers took part in the earlier mutiny at Kiel, the dispatch reports. It adds: "Although the mutiny was local, it shows that German naval men are dissatisfied, especially in the submarine service, as the number of boats returning to German ports is decreasing every month."

"The order under which these restrictions are nude la designed to dietribute with abeorate Impartiality the The Heads of Canada's Western Provinces, and Their Message. The United States having bieu in the great world's war for about nine mouths, the touch of war's spirit has permeated the great commonwealth, and In every hamlet and district is felt and shown the interest that was to be expected from a people whose love of liberty and Justice rises supreme to all else. Day by day their appreciation of what it means to give up now for the future happiness of themselves and the generations that follow grows greater and greater. There will be losses of loved ones, but there will be no badge of mourning to indicate the great sorrow that will be felt. It is realized that the sacrifice is the toll that Is demanded for making the whole world better, and, sensing this, there is preparation and willingness to sacrifice until the goal-—the defeat and downfall. of despotism—is assured. When the people look buck, and see what Canada has done, and learn that Canada today is bigger and better than ever, they will take heart, and with increasingly growing vigor curry on with a greater courage. Canada has been In the war for three and a half years. She has sent 400,000 out of a population of eight million, she has subscribed to Victory Bonds over and over again and there Is no sound of a whimper. At each demand that is made upon her resources, she meets it, and gets ready for the next. Recently her people were asked to subscribe $300,000,000. She handed over $4G0,- 000,000. Having already contributed 400,000 soldiers, Canada was recently asked to approve of sending another 100,000. With a sweeping majority, consent was given. How the war affects Canada is best shown by the willingness of the people to contribute, They, too, realize the great and noble part they are taking in this great conillct. They are a unit on making the world better. Canada's wealth wns never shown to bettor advantage than in the present struggle. It possesses great wealth in the soil, in Its mines, its other natural resources, and wonderful riches in the tenacity and courage 'of its men and its women. The soil and the climate, and the hardihood and determination of the farming class to win, by cultivating and cultivating, growing wheat and raising cattle to build up the resources so necessary to carry on the; war, are factors that will count. Probably the best word of encouragement comes from the Hrcmiers of the three great provinces where the bulk of the food products will come from. When ono rends what these men, prominent in their country say, it gives inspiration. If there are any who may be pessimistic of the future, the message that these gentlemen send forward should remove all doubt. Three and a half years In the war, able to speak as they do, the future should look bright to those who may have their seasons of doubt! Hon. T. C. Norris, Premier of Manitoba, says : "Manitoba has prospered exceedingly during the year 1D17, and the new yenr finds us not only still ready and willing, but unceasingly able to bear whatever burdens the fourth year of the war mny bring. "Manitoba farmers, generally speaking, have never been ln better condition to carry on. Out of her prosperity Manitoba Is giving lavishly toward the winning of the war. Every appeal for funds has met with quick and generous response. The people of the Province are well settled Into the collar In all war efforts. There's a spirit of determination, of willingness to make sacrifices, of confidence in the certain outcome, of which there is no room for pessimism. Manitoba will carry on." Saskatchewan had a prosperous and successful year in 1917, and when Premier Martin sent out his New Year message it was filled with an optimism that was fully warranted. "There is no doubt-that the province today is ln a better condition financially than ever before. True, the effects of the town and city real estate boom have not altogether passed away, but speaking generally, the farmers on the plains and the merchnnts in the towns are in a better financial position today than at any previous time. Our people are industrious and progressive. "While we have in some portions of the Province a mixed population, education and scientific methods are making rapid strides and we are looking forward with every confidence to a glorious future and the development of a people on the central plains of Canada, of which the whole Dominion and the British "Empire will have every reason to be prond.** While Alberta has given over to the war thousands of her virile "»«nfriHE4t thus taking from the farmer s large percentage of Its producers* It stffl stands up big and buoyant The farm neip cuus leuipwenry removes a demand for farm help and Increased farm effort to till lis highly prodactlve acres. Hon. Chas. Stewart, Premier of Alberta, ln a message to the people on the 1st of January, speaks with such buoyancy and hope of the future and so highly of the work of the past year. that his statement Is reproduced. He says : "The prosperity of the farming communities la reflected in the towns and cities by increased wholesale business' and bank clearances. Wholesalers report increases from 20 per cent to 25 per cent and their collections the best in the history of the Province. Alberta being essentially an agricultural Province at the present time, these conditions are a source of great gratification to our people, and no doubt will be to Canada us a whole—taking into consideration the fact that Alberta forms no small part of the granary to which the Empire at present looks as tho source of its food supply."- Advertisement.

At the same time grocers will sell householders wheat flour only when the purchaser buys an equal amount of some other cereal. -The food card asks every loyal American to help win the war by maintaining rigidly as minimum of saving the following program: TWO WHEATLESS DAYS EACH WEEK. Have two wheatless days (Monday and Wednesday) in every week, and one wheatless meal in every day. Explanation: On wheatless days and in wheatless meals of other days, use no crackers, pastry, macaroni, breakfast food or other cereal food contain* ing wheat, and use no wheat flour in any form except the small amount that may be required for thickening soups and gravies or for a binder in corn bread and other cereal breads.

SMALLPOX WELL SCATTERED Health Beard Plans Enerqet'c Move to Stamp Out the Disease Throughout State. Lansing More than 6,000 men of the 68th division were ordered into qu"-anttne following the appearance of three new cases of spinal meningitis There are now nine cases of the dreaded disease at the base hospital. Two infantry regiments, the 337th and the :'3Sth arid the depot brigade. ar? affected by the new order which provides that the men cannot leave camp and cannot attend military classes or otherwise mingle with those from- other organizations. It is stated bv the division surgeon that the disease was brought into camp by men sent here from Jefferson Barracks Mo. Previous to the arrival of these men there bad been bnl lour case- One death had resulted, or.e man l'ouu ' to be a carrier had been isolated ai* ' the remaining two putienti were oi« the road to recovery. Within less than two weeks after the newcomers were given quarters, however, new cases developed, slowly at first and then moid I y . Wednesday, the health report showed six cases and when Thursday's report announcing three more was received at headquarters, the quarantine order was immediately issued, Simultaneously with the issuance of the order, a search was begun in the three organizations where cases have developed for possible meningitis carriers There are fortunately Infallible testa and these will be given to every man in the three commands Complete quarantine had not been adopted and will not be favored. The army considers the old method of confining in one place, all those exposed to a communicable disease to be little short of barbarous. The men will therefore be permitted on their drill ^roujids as usual and will carry on their work in the vicinity-of their barracks. They will have the freedom of certain V. M. C A. and K of C. buildings which will be set aside for their use so that their work and pleasures really will not be di-uurhed to any ;ippreciable extent. Many Hotels Must Get Licenses. Immediate action will be taken against all persona, corporations. Arms and associations, who manufacture lor sale bread in any form, cake, crackers biscuits, pastry or other bakery pro ducts (excepting however, those whose consumption of any flour and meal in the manufacture uf such products is lu the aggregate, less than '«en barrels a month), who fail to procure a fed eral license. Announcement to this effeC has been made by State Fool Administrator Geo A. Prescott Thl* includes hotels, restaurants, other public eating places, and clubs who serve bread or other bakery product* of their own baking Application for license must be made to the United State* Food Admtnlstra tion. License Division, on forms prepared by it for that purpose, wblch may be obtained on request The State Food Administrator says certain merchants do not appreciate the fact that the United States is at war and that the war must be won by food conservation and economy of prices He asserts that there are certain examples of actual profiteering and warn3 dealers that these cases will behandled, If necessary, with promptness and severity Any person who, without a license, or whose license shall have been revoked, knowingly engages In or carries on any business for which a license is required by the Food Administration shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine not exceeding $5,000 or by Imprisonment for not more than two years, or both From information received at the Food Administration headquarters it Is evident that only a few Michigan hotel and cafe proprietors have applied for their licenses, but they must secure licenses if they intend to continue in business Smallpox May Hinder Next Quota, Smallpox, it is feared by the Michigan war preparedness board and others interested in raising the next quota of soldiers, will Interfere with furnishing the men sadly needed by the national government. Therefor Dr R. M Olin. secretary of the state board of health i3 receiv ing active support in hU campaign to stamp out rapidly the disease, which has 675 persons (n bed today, and others quarantined. Of the cases in Michigan, 500 are scattered over the state, and 175 are in Detroit. Lansing has not a single case. The outbreak: is attributed by Dr. Olin to widespread mild smallpox a few months ago, which was generally diagnosed to be chicken pox. Health officers, who have not been as vigorous in enforcing the safeguards provided by law, are beinp called on the telephone as rapidly as complains are received and ordered to "quit monkeying and get down to business." Another factor in the situation, in the opinion of Dr. Olin, is the inroads made on health officers and inspectors by the draft. The active head of the health service of the state is planning to send inspectors in various sections of the state, first into Sanilac, Huron and St. Clair counties. In some places school authorities have been ordered to refuse admission to schools to children who are not vaccinated Custer Has Over 1,000 Aliens. Although the Eighty-fifth division at Camp Custer has in its make up more than l.OOO aliens, the question of their disposition is causing Major-General Parker no worry. He Is convinced that they will make proficient loyal soldiers. The alien question has been a delicate and trying* one in some divisions, and hundreds of men have been Interned for the duration of the war | because it was believed they would I bo unsafe. ' "Foreisners come to this country ; because they are dissatisfied with ; conditions in Europe," said the general "At a time like this, when they adopt America, they often incur the enmity of fiends at home. Nevertheless, some of these so-called renegades make the strongest patriots. "One-third of the signers of the declaration of the independence were foreign.born.

GEN. WOOD HIT BY BLAST, AT FRONT SLIGHTLY WOUNDED IN ARM BY ACCIDENTAL ' EXPLOSION, 8AY8 CABLE REPORT. DISPATCH GIVES NO DETAILS Brief Announcement Made By Baker Says That Two Other U. 8. Officers Were Also Slightly H u r t KEN SENT ABROAD LACKED CLOTHING NEWS REACHES PUBLIC THROUGH PUBLICATION OF CONFIDENT I A L TESTIMONY. REP. MCCORMICK CREATES STIR Baker Was Told of Clothing Shortage, According to General Sharpe, Washington—Disclosures regarding American army affairs at home and abroad were made through publication of confidential testimony given recently before the senate military committee in executive session. Statements of nearly all the witnesses heard behind closed doors except Major-General Crozier, chief of ordnance, were given in the usual printed report of committee pro. ceedlngs. One that created something of a stir among members of congress and. in official circles generally was that of Representative McCormick, of Illinois, who back from a visit to the Allied battle fronts, told the committee Allied officials were apprehensive regarding co-ordination of American war management. In the confidential testimony of General Sharpe, he defended the decision to send General Pershing's expedition to France sooner than had been planned, and the calling into service of more men than had been provided for. He said he knew and formally notified Secretary Baker that clothing shortage would result, but that even with the sacrifice of some lives, as many men as possible should be summoned for the effect on the Germans. Seme of the statements In secret session of Major-Generals Greble, O'Ryan and Wright, after their return from the French front, also were made public. General Greble said that in October the Allied artillery was unquestionably superior in effect to the Germans and that General Pershing's men were well clothed and equipped. All of the testimony of General Crozier was ordered kept confidential. Mr. McCormick, k in his statement, said that for t h e ' American and Al. lied armies to break through the westesrn front, they must have 26,000 more big guns—and that It Is impossible for the Allies to make them. "The French," he said, "cannot make the gnns." "Every man who is In France," he declared, "is needed to be making gnns for France or to be on the line. We have shipped the steel to them. I can only say— and I quote the man who won the battles—that it is impossible to have too many guns. "We ought t o set 25,000 as the mark and 20,000 as a minimum. We ought to get the best information possible and not merely through the normal military channels, because, as Lloyd George and Kerr (Premier Lloyd George's secretary), said, the generals have always tended to nn. derestimate the number of guns necessary."

' T h e greatest calamity that has ever happened to Detroit and Michigan is pbout to occur," Edgar B. Whitcomb, local fuel administrator, wired Congressman Doremus, at Washington, Thursday night. "Confiscation is taking place in such large volume in Kentucky and Ohio," the telegram continued, "that Detroit's limited supply is seriously reduced and disaster impends. "Not half enough coal is being started from the mines at present and only part of this comes through." Whitcomb's wire to Doremus, which included the statement that he would send no further warnings, was construed as notice to Washington of the fate which hangs oyer Detroit as the result of the failure of the national fuel administration rather than as an appeal tor relief.

McADOO CUTS RAIL EXPENSES All Lobbyists, Needless Lawyers and Passes Eliminated. JAPAN READY TO ACT IN RUSSIA Premier Says the Situation in Russia Is Causing Much Anxiety. Tokio—"Japan holds herielf responsible for maintenance oi peace In this part of the world,, and consequently in the event of t h a t peace being endangered to the inevitable detriment of our interests, the government of Japan will not hesitate a moment to take the proper measures." Thus Count Terauchi, Japanese premier, spoke at the opening of the diet in referring to the internal disorders in Russia, spreading to the Russian possessions in eastern Asia. The premier declared the situation in Russia was causing him the greatest measure of anxiety. "As the true friend of Rtossia," he said, "Japan earnestly hopes that country may successfully settle Its difficulties without much further loss of time and establish a stable gov* e r n m e n t " Count Terauchi said also that Japan joined unreservedly with the Allied powers In the determination not to sheathe the sword until an honorable peace is secured. Washington—WtlHam G. McAdoo, director of r a ^ o a d s , Sunday ni«rht issued peremptory orders to all railroad officers and directors to cut off immediately from the payrolls all legislative railroad lobbyists, supernumerary lawyers, useless railroad literary associations, political payments and all passes, intrastate as well as interstate. Several million dollars will be InrVot within the first year by this draaHo step, It is estimated. This .order means that not only the $25,000 a year lobbyist, but the numerous persons employed to boost the Individual railroads will be reduced in number. Only those in the latter class than can be of service to the roads will be allowed to remain. Thousands of, lawyers throughout the country will be affected. Large staffs have been maintained in places where the director-general believes they have been unnecessary. The erder chops off all political subscriptions or efforts to support any man or party n any election. Perhaps the greatest evil has been the matter of passes.

Amsterdam—Germany through her chancellor, Count von Hertling, in the reichstag, has made a specific point for point reply to President Wilson'r 14-conditions of peace. It is coined in the language of one who demands instead of one who yields. It is, in the main, a rejection. Austria-Hungary, through her for. eign minister, Count von Csernin, has made a general reply to the American executive's peace aims speech.

In the course of our investigations we discovered that in «ome homes, although the wife was not dissolute, she was, nevertheless, almost wholly to blame for the wretched conditions which existed, asserts the University Magazine. In these cases the husband was hard working and earned sufficient money from week to week to win a comfortable home, If he possessed a comfortable helpmeet, but the wife, unfortunately, was afflicted with the densest Ignorance of the art of home-making. In some other Instances the home was made unhappy by a nagging wife, with a rasping tongue.

It Is grutifylng to know that there Is i sentiment in Paris which recognizes the fact that Uncle Sam has thrown safeguards around his soldiers which are effective as long as they are on ' American soil, and, out of respect to this very evident hostility of our government towards drink, urges protection for American -soldiers on. French soil from the perils of alcohol. The following is from La Revue of Paris : "At the present moment France Is attracting the eyes of the world more than ever before. It is not enough to show our enthusiasm regarding the English, Americans, Italians, Portuguese or Russians who are dwelling among us. We must likewise watch over their moral security. But alcoholism menaces all In the same degree. The "Sammies" who arrive from the United States total or partial prohibitionists are exposed to multiple dangers and temptations. "The great American republic accepts with heroism the sacrifices in men and money which the war against the Germans may demand. But let us take care, We shall commit an evil action If her children find themselves exposed not only to the danger of being slain at the front, hut to that of being poisoned by alcohol. Many writers in the United States have already manifested fears upon this point A few concrete cases would suffice to cause an outburst of opinion on the other side. The Germans are watching and they will not be slow to exploit such sentiments, which are Justified, indeed, to paralyze the noble population of the United States towards the sacred cause of the allies. "We cannot lay too much emphasis upon the decree issued by the British military authority, January 15, 1917, prohibiting the circulation of alcohol in all the French regions occupied by the English army! And this 'In order to respond to the declarations of civil and military authorities signalizing alcoholism as an obstruction to the agricultural and Industrial production required by the necessities of national defense/ Shall we wait until the American, too, perhaps, shall Inflict a like humiliation upon our ministers of the interior, of munitions, of supplies, and many other of their confreres?" MEXICO TOO. "Mexico is Improving," said the Mexican general, Alvaro Obregon, at a dinner tendered him in Springfield, HI. "It has found the reason for the revolutions. It is going to reform the new generations of Mexico. It is going to open a school where there was a saloon before. We see the advantages now of education. There have been too many drunks in Mexico. The governors of the various states are now stopping with radical measures the saloon. Men who are going to save Mexico are those who are going to close the saloon. The United States needs the same cure. I speak plainly. The Mexican government did not wait to raise the taxes before it took steps to dose down the saloons. We are going to fight Ignorance and vice,*' W H Y T H E Y SELL IT. Saloonkeepers do not sell the drug alcohol to a man simply for the sake of destroying him. They give him what injures him because they think that is the way by which they can get his money. They do not desire, on their own account to ruin his character, take away his property, break his wife's heart and beggar and starve his children. Their object is only to get the man's money, and they do these things because that seems the shortest waj* Yet it is the price of blood. IN GEORGIA.

WAR BREAD MUST NOW BE USED HERE WHEAT FLOOR 8UPPLY MUST BE CONSERVED TO FEED ALLIES AND ARMY OVER8EA8. ALL DEALERS MUST • COMPLY With 8atea of Wheat Flour Retailers and Wholesalers Will 8ell Equal Amount of Substitute Flour. Washington—The American people went on a war abread diet Monday as a part of a war rationing system prescribed by President Wilson and the food administration. "Victory bread" the food administration calls it. The reduced rations are asked for the purpose of creating a larger export surplus of food for the European Allies. Curtailment of consumption will be accomplished largely by voluntary effort, but force will be employed wherever permitted under the food control act. Rationing System Plan. The rationing system, as presented by the president in a proclamation and by Food Administrator Hoover in a list of regulations, forms the food administration's 1918 food conservation program, of which the chief features are: A baker's bread of mixed flours, beginning Monday with a 5 per cent substitution of other cereals for wheat until a 20 per cent substitution is reached February 24. Sale by retailers to householders of an equal amount of substitute flours for every pound of wheat flour pur» chased at the time the wheat flour is bought. Sale by millers to wholesalers and wholesalers to retailers of only 70 per cent of the amount of wheat flour sold last year. Two wheatless days a week—Monday and Wednesday—and one wheatless meal a day. One meatless day a week—Tuesday —and one meatless meal a day. Two porkless days a week—Tuesday and Saturday. Substitutes Are Urged. Manufacturers of macaroni, spaghetti, noodles, crackers and breakfast foods, pie, cake and pastry will be permitted to buy only 70 per cent of their last year's purchases, and are asked to perform a patriotic service by using substitute flours. Flour will be told through the regular channels and in such a manner that each community will receive its equivalent siiare. The food adminstration will purchase for the army and the Allies, it was announced recently, 30 per cent of the flour output and out of this store will fill emergency requirements if stocks run low in any part of the country. Wheat millers are required to produce one barrel of flour of 196 pounds from 264 pounds of wheat, which reprecents a 75 per cent flour. No pat* ent or special flours may be manufactured, although whole wheat flour may be made as usual. Hotels and restaurants are classed as bakeries and will be required to serve the new ''victory bread." SCHEIDEMANN HITS WAR PARTY German Socialist Leader Demands Peace Before Spring.

She's generous, she's patient she's unselfish, a good mixer—some of the ladles might think her complexion wasn't real, but — Grace, Carol wouldn't be half bad!" ^ **Oh, William," she sighed, "can't you remember that you are a Methodist minister, and a grandfather, and— grow up a little?" After that Mr. Starr returned to normal again, only many times he and Connie had little outings together, and talked a great deal. And Aunt Grace, seeing It, smiled with satisfaction. But the twins and Fairy settled it in their own mfnds by saying, "Father was Just a Mttle Jealous of all the beaux. He was looking for a pal, and he's found Connie." But in spite of his new devotion to Connie, Mr. Starr also spent a great deal of time with Fairy. "We must get fast chums, Fairy," he often said te her. "This Is our last chance. We hnve to get cemented for a lifetime, yen know." And Fairy, when he said so, caught kit hand and laughed a little tremulously. Indeed he was right when he said It was his last chance with Fairy in the parsonage. Two weeks before her commencement she had slipped Into the library and closed the door cauflagplj behind her. *w>ther," she said, "would you be vtfer aorry if I didn't teach school after airr aNot a bit." came the ready answer. "I mean if I—you see, father, since yau sent me to college I feel as if I ought to work and—help out" T h a t ' s nonsense," he said, drawing the tall girl down to his knees. "I can take care of my own family, thanks. Are you trying to run me out of my Job? If you want to work, all right, flu it, but for yourself, and not for us. Or if you want to do anything else," he did not meet her eyes, "If you want te stay at home a year or so before you get married, it would please us better than anything else. And when you want to marry Gene, we're expecting it, you know," "Yes, I know*'—she fingered the lapel of his coat uneasily.' ^T^o you care how soon I get married*" •^re you still sure it* is Genef *Tea, Vm sure." 'Then I think you should choose ytiur own time. I am in no hurry. But any time—if s for you and Gene to d o dde." "Then you haven't set your heart on my teaching r *T set my heart on giving you the best chance possible. And I have done It. For the rest. It depends on you. Y<m may work, or you may stay at home a while. I only want you to be happy, Fairy." •But doesn't It seem foolish to go dear through college, and spend the money, and then—marry without using the education T i *I do not think so. They've been mae years, and you are finer because of them. There's Just as much opportunity to use your fineness in a home of your own as In a public school. That's the way I look at I f •Ton don*t think Tm too youngr "YouVe pretty young," he said slowly. "I can hardly say. Fairy. You've always been capable and telf-poa* aeaucd. When you and Gene get so crasy about each other you cant bear to be apart any longer, if s all right She pet her arm around his neck and rubbed her fingers over his cheek lor- Ujgsy/.

Gen*, and the firm, that to an." an If s your day. you i t talk It Wean It ii B I H ha aMy far sat te toy to tcfiyo* frhat a you—if I tried I'd only cry. You know what I think." His face was against hers, and his eyes were away from her, so Fairy did not see the moisture in his eyes when he said in a low voice: "Yes, I know, Fairy. And I don't need to say what fine girls you are, and how proud I am of you. You know It already. But sometimes," he added slowly, "I wonder that I haven't been a bigger man, and haven't done finer work, with a houseful of girls like mine." Her arm pressed more closely about his neck. "Father," she whispered, "don't say that We think you are wonderfully splendid, Just as you are. It Isn't what you've said, not what you've done for us, it's Just because you have always made us so sure of you. We never had to wonder about father, or ask ourselves—we were sure. We've always had you." She leaned over and kLssed him again. "Now we understand each other, don't we?" "I guess so. Anyhow, I understand that there'll only be three daughters in the parsonage pretty soon. All right, Fairy. I know you will be happy." He paused a moment. "So will I." But the months passed, and Fairy seemed content to stay quietly at home, embroidering as Prudence had done, laughing at the twins as they tripped gayly, riotously through college. And then in the early spring she sent an urgent note to Prudence. "Y<fu must come home for a few days, Prue, you and Jerry. It's Just because I want you and I need you. and I know you won't go back on me. Just wire you are coming—the three of you. I know you'll be here, since It La I who ask it." It followed naturally that Prudence's answer was satisfactory. "Of course we'll come." Fairy's plans were very simple. "We'll have a nice family dinner Tuesday evening. We'll all be together, nice and quiet, Just our own little bunch. Don't have dates, twins—of course Gene will be here, but he's part of the family, and we don't want outsiders this time. His parents will be in town, and I've asked them to come up. I want a real family reunion Just for once, and it's my party, for I started it. So you must let me have it my own way." After the first confusion of welcoming Prudence home, and making fun of "daddy Jerry," and testing the weight and length of little Fairy, they all settled down to a parsonage homegathering. Just a few minutes before the dinner hour, Fairy took her father's hand. "Come Into the limelight," she said softly; "I want you." He passed little Fairy over t(t the outstretched arms of the nearest auntie, and allowed himself to be led into the center of the room. "Gene." said Fairy, and he came to her quickly, holding out a slender roll of paper. "It's our license," said Fairy. "We think we'd like to be married now, father, if you will." He looked at her questlonlngly, but understanding]y. The girls clustered about them with eager outcries, half protest half encouragement "It's my day, you know," cried Fairy, "and this is my way." She held out her hand, and Gene took It very tenderly in his. Mr. Starr looked at them gravely for a moment and then in die gentle voice that the parsonage girls Insisted was his most valuable ministerial asset he gave his second girl In marriage. It surely was Fairy's way, plain and sweet without formality. And the dinner that followed was juat a happy family dinner. Fairy's face waa to glowing with content and Gene's attitude was so tender, and so ludicrously proud, that the twins at last were convinced that this was right and all waa well. But that evening, when Gene's parents had gone away, and after Fairy and Gene themselves had taken the carriage to the station for their Utile vacation together, and Jerry and Prudence were putting tittle Fairy to bad. the three girls left in the home aat drearily in their bedroom and talked It over. -We're thinning out," amid Connie.

The family is going to pieces, sure enough." CHAPTER X I . Sowing deeds. "Have you seen Mrs. Harbert lately, - Carol?" "Yes, she's better, father. I was there a few minutes yesterday." ''Yesterday? You were there Tuesday, weren't you?" Carol looked uncomfortable. "Well, yes. I was, Just for a second." "She tells me you've been running in nearly every day since she took sick." Carol bent sharply inquiring eyes upon her father. "What else did she tell you?" "She said you were an angel." "Y—yes—she seems somehow to think I do it for kindness." "And don't you?" "Why, no, father, of course I don't. It's only two blocks out of my way and it's such fun to pop in on sick folks and show them how disgustingly strong and well I am." "Where did you get the money for that basket of fruit?" "I borrowed it from Aunt Grace." Carol's face was crimson with mortification. "But it'll be a sweet time before Mrs. Harbert gets anything else from me. She promised she wouldn't tell." "Did any of the others know about the fruit?" "Why—not—exactly." "But she thinks It was from the whole family. She thanked me for It." "I—I made her think that," Carol explained. "I want her to think we're the nicest parsonage bunch they've ever had in Mount Mark. Besides, it really was from the family. Aunt Grace loaned me the money and I'll have to borrow it from you to pay her. And Lark did my dusting so I could go on the errand, though she did not know what it was. And I—er—accidentally took one of Connie's ribbons to tie it with. Isn't that a family gift?" "Mr. Scott tells me you are the prime- mover in the Junior League now," he continued. "Well, goodness knows our Junior League needs a mover of some sort." "And Mrs. Davies says you are a whole mercy and help department all by yourself. "What I can't understand." said Carol mournfully, "is why folks don't keep their mouths shut I know that sounds very Inelegant, but it expresses my idea perfectly. Can't I have a good time in my own way without the whole church peddling me from door to d o o r r The twinkle in her father's eyes deepened. "What do you call i t Carol, 'sowing seeds of kindness'?" "I should say not" came the emphatic retort "I call it sowing seeds of fun. It's a circus to go around and gloat over folks when they are sick or sorry, or—" "But they tell me you don't gloat Mrs. Marling says you cried with Jeanie half a day when her dog died." **Oh, thaf s my way of gloating," said Carol, nothing daunted, but plainly to get away without further interrogation. It was a strange thing that of all the parsonage girls, Carol, light-hearted, whimsical, mischievous Carol, was the one most dear to the hearts of her father's people. Not the gentle Prudence, nor charming Fairy, not clever Lark nor conscientious Connie, could rival the -naughty twin* In Mount Mark's affections. And in spite of her odd curt speeches, and her openly vaunted vanity. Mount Mark Insisted she waa "good." Certainly the waa willing! "Get Carol Starr—shell do I t " waa the commonest phrase, in Mount Mark's vocabulary. Whatever was wanted, whatever the sacrifice involved, Carol stood ready to fill the bOL Not for kindness—oh, dear n o - Carol atanehly disclaimed any suck aa that She did it for fun. ttapte.

It waa only when the Indiscreet of her Wends brought the budding plants to light that she tausbtagty declared -It waa a elrcee to *» Once in the early dusk of a summer evening, she discovered old Ben Peters, half intoxicated, slumbering noisily on a pile of sacks in a corner of the parsonage barn. Carol waa sorry, but not at all frightened. The poor, kindly, weak, old man was as familiar to her as any figure In Mount Mark. He was always in a more or less helpless state of intoxication, but also he was always harmless, kindhearted and generous. She prodded him vigorously with the handle of th» pitchfork until he was aroused to consciousness, and then guided him into the woodshed with the buggy whip. When he wss seated on a chunk of wood she facftd him sternly. "Well, you are a dandy," she said. "Going into a parsonage barn, of all places In the world, to sleep off an odor like yours 1 Why didn't you go down to Fred Greer's harness shop, that's where you got it. We're such an awfully temperance town, you know! But the parsonage! Why, if the trustees had happened Into the barn and caught a whiff of that smell, father'd have lost his Job. Now you Just take warning from me, and keep away from this parsonage until you can develop a good Methodist odor. Oh, don't cry about it I Your very tears smell rummy. Jusr you hang on to that chunk of wood, and I'll bring you some coffee." Like a thief In the night she sneaked into the house, and presently returned with a huge tin of coffee, steaming hot. He drank It eagerly, but kept a wary eye on the haughty twin, who stood above hirn with the whip in her hand. "That's better. Now, sit down and listen to me. If you would come to the parsonage, you hove to take your medicine. Silver and gold have we none, but such as we have we give to you. And religion's all we've got. You're here, and I'm here. We haven't any choir or any Bible, but parsonage folks have to be adaptable. Now then, Ben Peters, you've got to get converted." The poor doddering old fellow, sobered by this awful announcement, looked helplessly at the window. It was too small. And slender active Carol, with the buggy whip, stood between him and (he door. "No. you can't escape. You're done for this time—it's the straight nnd narrow from this on. Now listen—It's really very simple. And you need It pretty badly, Ben. Of course you don't realize it when you're drunk, you can't see how terribly disgusting you are. but honestly, Bon, a pig Is a ray of sunshine compared to u drunk man. You're a blot on the landscape. You're a—you're a—" She fished vainly for words, longing for Lark's literary flow of language. "I'm not drunk," he stammered. "No, you're not, thanks to the buggy whip and that strong coffee, but you're no beauty even yet. Well now, to come down to religion again. You can't stop drinking—" "I could," he blustered feebly. "I could if I wanted to." "Oh, no, you couldn't. You haven't backbone enough. You couldn't stop to save your life. But," Carol's voice lowered a little, and she grew shy, but very earnest, "but God can stop you. because be has enough backbone for a hundred thousand—er. Jellyfishes. And —you see, it's like this. God made the world, and put the people In it. Now listen carefully, Ben, and I'll make it Just as simple as possible so it can sink through the smell and get at you. God made the world, and put the people in it. And the people sinned, worshiped idols and went back on God, and—did a lot of other mean things. So God was in honor bound to punish them, for that's the law, and God's the Judge that can't be bought. He had to Inflict punishment. But God and Jesus talked it over, and they felt awfully bad about i t for they kind of liked the people anyhow." She stared at the disreputable figure slouching on the chunk of wood. "It's very hard to understand, very. I should think they would despise us—some of us," she added significantly. "I'm sure I should. But anyhow they didn't Are you getting met** The bleary eyes were really fastened Intently on the girl's bright face, and he hung upon her words. "Well, they decided that Jesus should come down here and live, and be perfectly good, so he would not deserve any punishment and then God would allow him to receive the punishment anyhow, and the rest of us could go free. That would cover the law. See? Punishing him when he deserved no punishment Then they could forgive us heathens that didn't deserve i t Do you get that?*' 8he looked at him anxiously. "It all hinges on that you know. Tm not a preacher myself, but thaf s the idea. So Jesus was crudned. and then God said.

The cereal crop of Western Canada for 1917 was the most valuable one ever harvested; the returns from all classes of live stock have been equally satisfactory. The wool clip was not only greater than in any previous year, but the price obtained was double that of 1916, which in turn wub almost double thut of the year before. As was the ease in 1915 and 1910, many farmers were able to pay for their land outright with the proceeds of their first year's crop. Further evidence of the prosperity of Western Canada is shown by the fact that one In every twenty of the population is now the owner of an automobile. If the farming community alone is taken, it will be found thut the proportion of automobile owners is still greater. The bank clearings of the leading cities of Western Canada were consistently higher than they were in the corresponding periods of 1916, and then they were higher than the year preceding. In Winnipeg .$500,000,000 more was cleared in the 11 months ending November 30 than in the same months a year ago. The entry of the United States Into the war has strengthened the bonds between that country and Canada. We are now working together fcr the same ends. Those who are not fighting are promoting a greater production of foodstuffs. In this connection Western Canada offers a wonderful opportunity. Not only can larger quantities of staple foodstuffs be produced, but the cost of production Is lower and the remuneration greater than where mttd Is more expensive. Notwithstanding the fact that the price of farm products has doubled during the past three years, there are millions of acres of arable land in Western Canada which can still be bought at a low price. Western Canada has an enormous acreage prepared for seeding to wheat In 1918. It is larger than in 1917, and will probably surpass the record area put into crop in the year 1915, when the largest crop ever known in the West was harvested. The year HUG should also see a further Increase m live stock activity. Farmers have been Investing eonaUierable sums in cattle; the high prices secured for wool and mutton hove opened the eyes of Western farmers to the possibilities of sheep, and such was the demand for breeding animals last fall that it was impossible to meet it adequately; the campaign for greater bog production is expected to yield an Increase of between 25 and 50 per cent In 1918. Those who are contemplating coming to Western Canada cannot do better than come early in the spring when they can put in a crop and harvest k in the fall. In this way they will he able to achieve something that will not only be of great benefit to themselves, but also to the great cause far which the Allies, including the United States, are -now fighting.—Advertmement Salmon for Eastern Streams. Many thousands of humpback aal- /non, native of the Puget sosmd, where they wore collected by the government two years ago, entered Pombroke. Dennys, Penobscot, S t Ofiz and other rivers in eastern Maine tkte autumn as part of the fisheries bureau plan of stocking the East with the pride of the Pacific coast catch. The bureau's investigation shows that the humpback in Its new environment retains its Pnoifie coast habit of proceeding to the ocean shortly after it begins to swim, and returning to the rivers to spawn and die when two years old. The government has made annual shipments of eggs of the humpback salmon across the continent for the past five years, drawing the consignments alternately from Washington and Alaska, For Pimply Poets.

THE COAL SHORTAGE Contrary to the belief of many people, the present coal crisis^ has not come of our having sent too much coal out of the country. The coal is still in this country, but unfortunately most of it is still in the mines. Therein lies the chief difficulty. And there is absolutely no reason why it is still there when it should be on the outside. We eay no good reason, yet there is a reason. That reason is the policy that the coal operators, along with those controlling many other industries, have been pursuing for some years p a s t - limiting production. In hundreds of mining towns of the country, ever since the coal shortage has become acute, miners have been held down to four, three or even two days a week, notwithstanding the fact that tbey were clamoring for work and the public was suffering for their output. We will admit that the scarcity of cars had some bearing on the question,Ibut this was not the whole cause. If Uncle Sam can straighten out this tangle he will have the- thanks of a suffering public. But he will find thht neither he nor anybody else can relieve the situation until the men are sent into the mines and sent there to stay until there is sufficient coal above the ground to supply all our needs. When that is done a little judicious manipulating of the railroads will straighten the matter out. The Chicago Boys' Brotherhood Republic advertises for "the meanest boy in the United S t a t e s " and guarantees that in six months he will be made 100 per cent good. They may be able to make good all right, but it's a safe bet they will have no volunteers. We wonder how the kaiser is going to make peace with God.—Detroit Free Press. He fully expects, after he has conquered the earth, that God will .sue for peace with him. The kaiser is reported to be running out of man power.

Akeley, who has spent a great deal of painstaking effort in preparing the wonderful aulmal groups at the American Museum of Natural History, is known throughout South Africa as au elephant hunter. He has had many thrilling experiences, one of which he describes in the New York Sun as follows: Elephants are no more conspicuous la their own country than jack rabbits are in theirs. They are the color of the shadows in the forest and almost as indistinguishable. Intelligence and vindictiveness a r e two of their most prominent characteristics. When one knows he is being hunted he will lie in wait, still as a rock, and looking much like oue, and will hunt his hunter as a dog hunts a rat. I had cut a big bull out from a herd and was following his spoor, knowing well enough that he was lying in wait for me somewhere. The big beast, a s it turned out afterwards, got my wind as I was stalking him, and was searching for me. I must have got within ten or twenty feet of him, because I remembered afterward that I heard a swift rush bat did not catch sight of him coming. The first I knew of his presence was a quick vision of his trunk as he knocked me down. Then I caught one glimpse of his little eyes as he curled up his trunk out of the way and tried to Impale me with his tusks. I had just time to grasp a tusk with my left hand and twist myself so that my body was between the two shafts of ivory. I felt the impact of his tusks as they dug into the ground on either side of me, and his heavy nose crushed against my ciiest. That is all I remember. My hunter fortunntely shot hfm dead as he was preparing for another thrust. I was unconscious as they carried me to the camp, where I lay for three month?!, with my chest so crushed that it was doubtful whether or not I should live. ft in Livingston Countyjfor the prices we offer them, AILJgoods cash after^January 1.

White island, .SO miles distant from New Zealand, Is probably the most extraordinary island in the world. It is an enormous mass of rock nearly three miles In circumference, rising 900 feet above the sea, and is perpetually enveloped in dark clouds, which a r e visible for nearly a hundred miles, says a writer. The island consists almost entirely of sulphur, with a small percentage of gypsum. Some years ago an attempt was made to float a company to work the sulphur, which 1« of high quality; hut, stfange to say, sufficient capital was not subscribed. Therefore the export of sulphur from White island is still very small. In the interior is a lage fully fifty acres in extent, the vapor of which has a temperature of 110 degrees F . and is strongly impregnated with acids. On one side of this lake are craters from which steam escapes with great force and noise. This steam and the vapor from the lake form the dark cloud which envelops the Island.

As a race, we are constantly dying before our time, and very often leading forlorn lives, making those around us miserable, simply because we are disobeying the simple laws of life, and among other things poisoning ourselves with bacterial infections, thus causing this very condition of auto-intoxication, writes Dr. W. H. Vail, in Christion Herald. Our plea, first, last and all t h e time Is for tbe simple life, which is not necessarily a vegetarian diet, only It so happens that the vegetable kingdom supplies the best articles of d i e t in onr estimation.

It has always been commonly believed that milk curdles owing to the change of temperature and that by using Ice this difficulty would be overcome, according to Dr. Humbert Buzzoni in the Electrical Experimenter, but this precaution does not take away the primal cause. While germs In milk remain latent under the unfavorable environment of perhaps zero degree, they develop immediately upon being brought in contact with light and a more productive environment! The moment ultra violet rays come in contact with the infinitesimal life development begins, and while it is true that some microbes are destroyed by the utra violet rays, it has been found that the Inferior organisms generally develop more rapidly under the influence of these rays. {WANTOCOLUNM — — — — — » NOTICE—If you want your shoes tapped, your harness repaired, tbe rips in your shoes sewed up, your rubbers or rubber boots tapped or patched and warranted not to leak, good work done and prices lower than others, call on W.

COMMUNITY EFFORT IS BEST Permanent Results Can Only Be Obtained by Building Animate Out of Shelter and Food—Government Ready to Help. _ (Prepared by th* Ualted State* Department of Agriculture.) The necessity of co-operation and organization in the work of rat destruction is of the utmost Importance. To destroy all the animals on the premises of a single farmer in a community has little permanent value, ilnce they are soon replaced from lear-by farms. If, however, the farm- •rs of an entire township or counts but £6 ($29.20) iu prize money. Had ordinary bounties* been paid for this destruction, the tax on the community would have been about £250 (over $1,200). Many organisations already formed should be interested In destroying rats. Boards of trade, civic societies, and citizens' associations in towns and farmers' and women's clubs In rural communities will find the subject of great importance. < Women's municipal leagues in several large cities already have taken up the matter. The league ia Baltimore recently secured appropriations of funds for expenditure la fighting mosquitoes, files sad rata. The league in Boston during the past year, supported by voluntary contributions for the purpose, made a highly creditable educational campaign against rats. Boys1 corn clubs, the troops of toy scouts, and similar organizations could do excellent work in rat campaigns. State and National Aid. To secure permanent results nny general campaign for the elimination of rats must aim at building the anl mals out of shelter and food. Building reforms depend on municipal ordinances and legislative enactments.

The Medico Laurentian museum of Florence, Italy, has In its possession what Is said to be the most valuable book In the world. This book is called the "Codex Amlatinus" and is pronounced by some scholars to be perhaps the oldest and by all odds the best ancient Latin manuscript of the Bible. The work Is believed to have been copied from the translation by Sfc. Jerome, which he made direct from early Greek and Hebrew scripts. Its origin Is placed in the ninth century, and is thought to have been the handiwork of English priests. RECIPE FOR GRAY HAIR. To half pint of water add 1 oz.

The bulldog grip— the grace of ing on—Is a powerful asset la assy boy's life, declares a writer. A good many who start out with "Great •expectations," as Dickens puts it, peter out. A man past middle life brought some of his paintings to the great English painter, Rossetti, for examination and judgment. Rossetti was obliged to tell the man that the works were lacking In strength and power. Then the man drew out other paintings and drawings, saying that they were the work of a young student. Rossetti declared them full of talent and promise, and asked who the student was. The middle-aged man, with pathos in his voice, admitted that they were the products of his younger days. He had failed to live up to the promise and possibilities of his young manhood; he hud failed to hroTffTjn to his ideals. It's u good plan to learn1 to "hold on." METHOD OF B A I T I N G GUILLOTINE TRAP. unite in efforts to get rid of rats, much more lasting results may be attained. If continued from year to year, such organized efforts are very effective. Community Efforts. Co-operative efforts to destroy rats have taken various forms in different localities. In cities, municipal employees have occasionally been set at work hunting rats from their retreats, with at least temporary benefit to the community. Thus, in 1904, at Folkestone, England, a town of about 25,000 Inhabitants, the corporation employees, helped by dog*, In three days killed 1,645 rats. Side hunts in which rats are the only animals that count In the contest have scsjietlmea been organized and successfully carried out. At New Burlington, 0., a rat hunt took place some years ago In which each of the two sides killed over 8,000 rats, the beaten party serving a banquet to the winners. There Is danger that organized rat hunts will be followed by long Intervals of indifference and inaction. This may be prevented by offering prizes covering a definite period of effort Such prizes accomplish more than municipal bounties, because they secure a friendly rivalry which stimulates the contestants to do their utmost to win. In England and some of Its colonies contests for prizes have been organized to promote the destruction of the English, or house, sparrow, but any of the so-called sparrow clubs are really sparrow and rat clubs, for the destruction of both pests *8 ^e avowed object of the organizations. A sparrow club in Kent England, accomplished the destruction of 28,000 sparrows and 16,000 rats In three seasons by the annual expenditure of MULCH AS SOIL PROTECTION Chief Value la In Keeping Surface From Packing Under Weight of Snow or Heavy Rains, - The mulch Is of value chiefly in protecting the surface soil, keeping it from packing under the weight of snows or heavy packing rains. The mulch also prevents heaving as a result of thawing and freezing. It protects the crowns and roots, adds fertility and sometimes retards budding out In the spring. This may be desirable when there are late frosts. of the United States Public Health Service, In San Francisco, Seattle, New Orleans, and at various places in Hawaii and Porto Rico required such ordinances and laws as well as financial aid In prosecuting the work. The campaign of Danish and Swedish organizations for the destruction of rats had the help of governmental appropriations. The legislatures of California, Texas, Indiana and Hawaii, have in recent years passed laws or made appropriations to aid In rat riddance. It is probable that well-organized efforts of communities would soon win legislative support everywhere. Communities should not postpone efforts, however, while waiting for legislative co-operation, but should at once organize and begin repressive operations. Wherever health Is threatened the public health service of the United States can co-operate, and where crops and other products are endangered the bureau of biological survey of the department of agriculture Is ready to assist by advice and In demonstration of methods.

Unless the Allies flght as they never yet have fought, defeat threatens. Hungry men cannot flght at tneir best; nor hungry nations. France, England, and Italy are going hungry unless we feed them. Whaat Savinge—They must have wheat. It is the best food to flght on. It is the easiest to ship. We alone can spare it to them. By saving just a littleless than a quarter of what we ate last year—we can support those who are fighting our battles. And we can do it without stinting ourselves. We have only to substitute another food just as good. The Cava of Plenty—Corn is that food. There's a surplus of It. Providence has been generous in the hour of our need. It has given us corn in such bounty as was never known before. Ton* of corn. Trainloads of corn. Five hundred million bushels over and above our regular needs. All we have to do is to learn to appreciate it Was ever patriotic duty made so easy? And so clear? America's Own Food—Corn! It is the true American food. The Indians, hardiest of races, lived on it. , Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered a continent. For a great section of our country it has blong een the staff of life.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, F e b . 7, J 918 No.£ mmmm—m MMk\ f SENT TO FRANCE t Nian Prk* Rigidly Regulated y United States Food Admlnletratton. (CONSUMERS HERE PAY 9C. tougar Co«t 35 Genu a Pound During Civil War—Refiners' Proflta Now Curtailed. Sugar la selling today throughout (America at from «H to 0 centa a pound to the consumer, even though Ithere la a worrd shortage which haa (reduced tills nation's sugar allotment I to 70 per cent of norm a L Through the efforts of the United [States food administration the sugar succeeded In sending 85,000 tons by December 1. The French request waa granted because the American house-' hold consumption waa then at least 65 pounds per person, and it waa considered the duty of maintaining the French morale made our course clean" Today the sugar situation may fee summarized by stating that If America will raduoe ita sugar ooosumptlon 10 to 18 par oent this nation will be able to aend 200,000 more soldiers to France. Sugar today sells at seaboard refineries at ¢7.25 a hundred pounds. The wholesale grocer has agTeed to limit his profit to 25 cents a hundred j plus freight, and the retail grocer la, supposed to take no more than 60 centa j a hundred pounds profit Thla regulation was made by the food administration, which now asks the housewife to reduce sugar consumption as much as possible, using other sweeteners, and also reminds her that she should pay no more than 9 centa a pound for sugar. Control of Cane Refiners' Profits. "Immediately upon the establish- ( ment of the food administration." Mr.; market has been regulated as far as i Hoover said, "an examination waa the producer, refiner and wholesaler made of the costa and profits of reflnis concerned. The food administration j ing and it was finally determined that ,has no pqwer to regulate retail prices the spread between the cost of raw jexcept by public opinion. Even though and the sale of refined cane sugar more than 85,000 tons of sugar have should be limited to $1.80 per hundred been shipped to France In the last j. pounds. The pre-war differential had 'four months the retail grocer's sugar i averaged about 85 cents and Increased price Is around 8 to 8½ cents. He costs were found to have been lmposshould sell this sugar at 8½ to 9 ed by the war in increased cost of recents, the food administration believes, ; fining, losses, cost of bags, labor, lnsurnnd asks the American housewife to ance, Interest and other things, rather pay no more than this amount more than cover the difference. After Last August when the food admin- , prolonged negotiations the refiners istration was organised the price of ! were placed under a-reexnent estab- -*mmr rose suddenly to 11 cents a Ashing these limits on October 1, anfl t o u n d . TO?urlTthe Civil War sugar anything over this amount to be agreed .cost the consumer 35 cents a pound, extortionate under the law By regulation of the sugar market and "In the ^ s \ 0 l ^ J ^ 1 ^ ' reducing the price to 8½ and 0 cents tlons It was found by ennvnai Of the- ,nd keeping It from a<h-rmolng to 20 Cuban producers that their augar had rents th ?food administration hna RHV- during the first nine months of the ed the American public at least SlSO, rnst year, .old for ar.average of about 000,000 in four months, according to S4.24 per hundred t o . b Cuba, to a statement made by Herbert Hoover which duty and frei.h ^ ^ fo the t l i a , t h p r ( , „ v refiners' cost amount to about so.ou 1 e J A t , . t. ' per hundred. The average sale price "It is our s;ern duty to feet the al- ] a t e d b y v a r l o u s reflnerie*, a c lies, to maintain their health and b ^ ^ investigation, was about strength at a n y . cost to ouraelvea, • d l f l tiftl o f .Mr. Hoover declared. "There has not J ' - ^ P e r u been, nor will be as we see it, enough sugar for even their present meagre and depressing ration unless they send ships to remote markets for i t If we ,in our greed and gluttony force them either to further reduce their ration 'or to send these ships we will have 'done damage to our abilities to win this war. " I f we ssnd the ships to Java for 250,000 tons of sugar next year we will have necessitated the employment of eleven extra ships for one year. These ships—If used In trsnsportlng troops—would taka 150,000 to 200,000 men to Franca." Reason for World Shortage. As Mr. Hoover pointed out, the United States, Canada and England were sugar importing countries before Ithe war, while France and Italy were very nearly aelf supporting. The main aources of the world's sugar supply was Germany and neighboring powers, -the West Indies and the East Indies. German sugar Is no longer available, as it is used entirely in Germany, which also absorbs sugar of surrounding countries, England can no longer buy 1,400,000 long tons of sugar each year from Germany. The French sugar production has dropped from 750,000 to 210,- 000 tons. The Italian production has fallen from 210,000 tons to 75,000 tons. Thus three countries were thrown 'upon East and West Indian sources for 1,925,000 tons annually to maintain their normal consumption. Because of the world's shipping shortage the allied nations started drawing on the West Indies for sugar; East Indian sugar took three times the number of ships, since the distance was three times as g r e a t Suddenly the west was called on to fur- Blah and did furnish 1,420,000 tons of sugar to Europe when 800,^00 tona a year was the pre-war demand. The allies had drawn from Java 400,000 tona before the shipping aitnatlon beoame acute., "In aplte of these shipments, Mr. Hoover stated the other day, "the English government In August reduced the household augar ration to a basis of 24 pounds per annum per capita. And In September the French government reduced their household ration to 13 2-10 pounds a year, or a b4t over 1 pound of sugar a month. Even thla meagre ration could not be filled b j ^he French government It w o found ^ttrtj In the f*lL America wn« then jgkoCfet 1 0 0 ^ J e n t ^ t 3 e L » $1.84. "In reducing the differential to $1.80 there was a saving to the public of 54 cents per hundred. Had such a differential been in use from the 1st of January, 1917. the public would have saved In the first nine months of the year about $24,800,000." Next Year. With a view to more efficient organization of the trade In Imported sugars next year two committees have been formed by the food administration: 1. A committee comprising representatives of all of the elements of American cane refining groups. The principal duty of this committee is to divide the sugar imports pro rata to their various capacities and see that absolute Justice is done to every refiner. 2. A committee comprising three representatives of the BngUsh, French and Italian governments; two representatives of the American refiners, with a member of the food administration. Only two of the committee have arrived from Europe, but they represent the allied governments. The duties of this committee are to determine the most economical sources from a transport point of view of all the allies to arrange transport at uniform rates, to "distribute the foreign sugar between the United States and allies, subject to the approval of the American, English, French and Italian governments. This committee, while holding strong views as to the price to be paid for Cuban sugar, has not had the final voice. This voice has rested In the governments concerned, together with the Cuban government, and I wish to state emphatically that all of the gentlemen concerned as good commercial men have endeavored with the utmost patience and skill to secure a lower price, and their persistence has reduced Cuban demands by 13 cents per hundred The price agreed upon- is about $4.60 per hundred pounds, f. o. b. Cuba, or equal to about $6 duty paid New York. T h l a price should eventuate," Mr. Hoover said, "to about $7.30 per hundred for refined sugar from tha refiners at seaboard polnta or should place sugar In the hands of tha consumer at from 8 ¼ to • centa per pound, depending upon locality and conditions of trade, or at from 1 to 1 cents bdow the arioso of Atsftiot toot and from naj! to I eont nor pound than today. "There la now an, elimination of speculation, extortionate profits, and in tha refining alone the American people will save over $20,000,000 of the refining charges last year. A part of those savings goea to the Cuban, Hawaiian, Porto Rican and Lous Ian Ian producer and part to the consumer. "Appeals to prejudice against the food administration have been made because tho Cuban price is 84 cents above that of 1917. It is said in effect that the Cubans are at our mercy j that we could get sugar a cent lower. We made exhaustive study of the cost of producing sugar In Cuba last year through our own agents in Cuba, and we find it averages $8.89, while many producers are at a higher level. We found that an average profit of at least a cent per pound was necessary in order to maintaia and stimulate production or that a minimum price of $4.87 was necessary, and even this would stifle some producers. "The price ultimately agreed was 28 cents above these figures, or about onefifth of a cent per pound to the American consumer, and moro than thla amount has been saved by our reduction In refiners' profits. If we wish to stifle production in Cuba we could take that course Just at the time of all times In our history when we want production for ourselves and the allies. Further than that, the state department will assure you that such a course would produce disturbances in Cuba and destroy even our present supplies, but beyond all these material reasons is one of human Justice. This great country has no right by the might of Its position to strangle Cuba. "Therefore there is no Imposition upon the American public Charges have been made before this committee that Mr. Rolph endeavored to benefit the California refinery of which he was manager by this 34 cent increase in Cuban price. Mr. Rolph did not fix the price. It does raise the price to the Hawaiian fanner about that amount It does not raise the profit of the California refinery, because their charge for refining is, like all other refiners, limited to $1.30 per hundred pounds, plus the freight differential on the established custom of the trade. "Mr. Rolph has not one penny of interest in that refinery."

Hunan, Canada's Food Controller, says :— "Authoritative Information has reached me that food shortage iu Europe is terribly real, and only the sternest resolve on the part of the producers, and equally stern economies on the part of all as consumers, can possibly save the situation. "France last year hud a crop between one-third and one-half that of a normal year. Women did the work of draught animals in a determined effort to make the Impoverished soil of France- produce every [>osslble ounce of food. They now look to us to make up their deficiency of essential supplies. "The harvest in Italy was far below normal and will require much larger supplies to feed her people until next harvest. "It is impossible for the allies to spare many cargo carriers to transport foodstuff from India, Australia, New Zealand and even the Argentine Republic. This means that the allied nations are practically dependent upon North America to supply them with tlie food which must be forthcoming if terrible suffering is to be avoided and the fighting efficiency of the armies maintained. "On December 1, the United States had not a single bushel of wheat for export, after allowance was made for domestic requirements on the basis of normal consumption, and the United States Food Administration is endeavoring to bring about a reduction of 20 per cent in home consumption of wheat and flour. .This would release 100,000,- 000 bushels for export, but the Allies will require nearly five times that amount before the 1918 harvest. Canada is the only country in the world, practically accessible to the Allies under present conditions of shipping shortage, which has an actual exportable surplus of wheat after allowance for normal home requirements. The surplus today is not more than 110,000,000 bushels. A reduction of 20 per cent In our normal consumption would save an additional 10,000,000 bushels for export. The outlook for production of food stuffs in Europe next year is distinctly unfavorable. ".Such Is the situation—grave beyond anything that we thought possible a few months ago. Unless our people are aroused to a realization of what the world shortage means to us, to our soldiers and to our Allies, and of the terrible ;>osslbilitle* which it entails, disaster is inevitable. "Production, too, must he increased to the greatest possible extent. Present war conditions demand extraordinary efforts, and every man, woman, boy or girl who can produce food has a national duty to do so. "I am confident that when the people of this country realize that the food situation Is of utmost gravity they will willingly adjust themselves to the necessities of the case and make whatever sacrifices may be required. The call which is made upon them is In the name of the Canadian soldiers at the front, the allied armies, and the civilian populations of the allied nations who have already made food sacrifices to an extent little realized by the people of this country." Here Is an appeal made by a man, upon whom rests the great responsibility of assisting rn providing food for the allies and the soldiers at the front, who are fighting the battles in mud and Mood. It cannot be Ignored. At home we are living in luxury and extravagance Inclined to idleness and forgetfulneas. This must cease. We roost save and produce. Our lands must be tilled no matter where it may be, in Canada or the United States. It Is our duty to cultivate. Splendid opportunities in the United States are open for further cultivation of lands. Weste r n Canada also offers opportunities in high producing lands at low prices. Decide for yourself where you can do the most good, on land In the United States or in Canada, and get to work -qoickly.—Advertisement.

Italian Army Headquarters—Exchanged Italian prisoners who have just arrived from Austrian concentration camps tell of almost unbelievable cruelties practiced against prisoners, particularly Serbians, who are reported confined in cages and fed through bars like animals. An authoritative summary of the statements of these returned prisoners says: "Treatment of the Serbians is even worse than that of the Italians, indicating that Austria intends to destroy the Serbians as a race. As a result of these conditions there are up to now not less than 30,000 to 40,000 dead from starvation. They are permitted to receive no parcels and are unable to work, because of weakness. Kept in Wooden Cages. They are put like animals in cages with wooden bars. Through these bars the keeperes throw them scraps of un. eatable bread, carrots and turnips as their sole sustenance. The mortality, already great, is increasing, as they are given no care and there are no doctors and no sanitation." Concerning the Italians, the statement says they returned in rags after suffering ill treatment and exposure to cold while compelled to work on enemy trenches under the guard of Hungarians, who are declared to be particularly hostile to the Italians. They received a small loaf of bread daily for division among eight men. Conditions are so terrible, the report says, that they will result in not more than one-third of the Italian prisoners coming back alive. * Seven Years in Prison Given * • 8oldier Who Mutilated Hand. * * Greenville, S.

Apparently trivial cuts or lesions develop this infection, and the condition of the men rapidly becomes critical. Sore throats and tonsilitis have, It is stated, developed in to septicemia. The long, unbroken spell of severe weather, which has not only caused the confinement of men to their quarters, but has created conditions which have depressed the soldiers mantally, is blamed by the surgeons for the appearance of the new menace to camp health.

To date, $79,460,727.35 has been appropriated foj nliet work in this couutry and ah mad. For foreign relief $44,657,795 has been appropriated as follows: France, $30,519,259.60; BsMum, $1,999,631; llu?Ria, ?7ol 940.87; Houmania, $2,61f.. 398.76; Italy, $3,146,016; Seriba. $S7J, 180.76; ('.rent Britain. $1,703,642; other foreign countries, $2,536,300; American soldiers who may be taken prisoner, $343,627. The foregoing appropriations are from the time the United States en tcred the war until April 30, 1918. For the United States the Red Cross has appropriated $2,G12,532.60 and the reason this sum is not larger is because Ihe government proVides nearly everything our army and navy needs, and besides, there is no civilian distress in this country of any considerable proportions. The great variety of the military and civilian relief work being done by f he Red Cross is indicated briefly in the following list: canteens that afford food, baths and sleeping quarters for men at the front; rest stations and recreation centers for soldiers in tiansit and at port of arrival in Prance; care of destitute children; furnishing supplies to 4,000 hospitals; teaching mutilated soldiers new trades; reconstruction of villages; bringing together families of soldiers scattered by the war; farms for convalescent soldiers; sanitariums for tubercular and other patients; food, clothing, medicine, and shelter for the homeless and destitute; and other activities too numerous to mention. It is stated by the national war council that all salaries and administrative expenses are paid out of membership dues, so that every penny given to the Red Cross war fund has been spent for relief. This answers the rumois tnat have been circulated about the expenses of operation. Out of 255 executives in the fourteen divisional offices of the Red Cross In the United States, 59 per cent are women. The policy is to select the most competent persons regardless of politics, sex or religion. Washington—The first draft army will be completed February 23. The final quotas from those states which have not furnished their full strength will be sent to camp that date. Orders to this effect have gone out from Washington, it was understood the first of the week. Advance supplies of equipment for the new contingents now are being assembled at the camps and cantonments in various sections of the country. Secretary of War Baker has insisted on the accumulation of ample stocks of clothing and other necessary supplies before the additional men reach camp. The work is being rushed. Advices that clothing and supplies would be ready in time were received before the provost marshal general decided on the order requiring the induction of the final quotas into military service. An aggregate of about 75,000. men will be sent to camp under the new orders. The date of the second draft call is dependent on the removal of troops now in training. There is no plan under consideration which calls for the construction of new cantonments or extensive enlargements of the existing camps. The second draft apparently will not apply to all states simultaneously. Transfer of the men of the first national army is regulated by the availability of ships. As transports become available, contingents which have completed their home trainng will be sent abroad. Registrants to be called under the second draft will be ordered into military service as camp space becomes available. Costs Less Mum and Kills W That Cold CASCARA fc?

I have been told by * ^ ^ " * those who knew him as a child In LaRue county, Kentucky, where he was born, that he never threw stones at songbirds, or at birds of pretty plumage, and that he never failed to Intercede in behalf of the dog that was being kicked by its Master, says Rogers Gore, picturing the life of the martyred president as a boy. "Little Abe," as he was known bf his limited number of neighbors a*d acquaintances, was fond of dogs. Aestin Gollaher, Lincoln's playmate, v*iK> died a t Hodgenville in LaRue county, told me the Lincoln family had nsore dogs than they could support, and that most of the dogs had followed "Little Abe" home a t various tknes. Lincoln's favorite dog was one h» foundjupon the roadside with a broken leg. *He carried the dog home in Ms arms and set the broken limb, "and tisat dog," said Mr. Gollaher, "was the beet rabbit dog Abe ever had." While trapping in those days was a necessity, young Lincoln disliked it be-' cafase it caused suffering to God's ( creatures. I learn this story from the traditions in LaRue county. Tom Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln's father, was fond of trapping. Besides finding much sport in the vocation he provided meat and furs for his family. His traps ware scattered along the south fork of Nolynn river, and, of course, his son Abraham knew just where each trap was located. "Little Abe" believed it an unpardonable sin to catch too much game, ami he frequently visited the traps and liberated some of the game before his father could make the rounds. Austin Gollaher related a story to me about a visit he and Abe once ma,de to Tom Lincoln's traps, when they were caught in the act of liberating a red fox from one of the snares. Tom Lincoln came up, Mr. Gollaher said, Just as Abraham was about to cut the cord which was looped under the forefeet of the fox. To avoid the whipping Abe knew was forthcoming, he and young Gollaher made for tall timber. Mr. Gollaher said that "Little Abe" nerer was whipped when Mrs. Lincoln was present to make Intercessions. "And for that reason," said Mr. Gollaher, "we endeavored to reach the Lincoln cabin in advance of Tom Lincoln for the ordeal." Undaunted When Lad in Woods. In taking an indirect route the boys wete lost in the wo^ds. "We spent t a t entire day," said Mr. Gollaher, "in trying to find the trail, but to no avail. I gave up in despair, but Abe neither shewed fear nor discouragement, and wa* persistent In his endeavors to find a way out of our troubles. Evening wa* advancing too rapidly to suit me, and I was becoming thoroughly panicstricken, but the strong heart of Abraham was apparently undaunted. Abe rebuked me for my faint-heartedness, and said: 'Why, we'll sharpen a pole and climb a tree, and the wolves cannot get u s ; we can punch their eyes OT& when they rear up on the trunk of the tree!' But Just as the las* stseak of dayMght was going out I heard a voice, and with all my might I yelled: *Here we are!' 'Shot your asasth,' said Abe, 'that's pa, and he'll w%lp m e / Sure enough, it was Tom XJbeeln, but Mrs. Lincoln was with Mm* and Abe did not get the whippa*." Lincoln's wit developed early in life. I have been told that when he was a mere chIM his retorts blazed from Ms droll tongue in a manner that always made the/offender wince. A man by the Bame of Woodson once kicked "Little Abe's" lam© dog; the dog retaliated by biting the fellow on the leg. Woedaen then decided That the dog should be killed, and in the presence of "Little Abe" made known his decree. "My leg is already swelling," said Weedson, "and I am afraid It will have to be cat off." "If t h a f s BO," retorted "Little Abe," T m «orry my dog did not bite yon on the head." Aostrn Gollaher rescued Lincoln from Knob creek, a amaU river in the ririnJry of the Gollaher home. Upon thrs day lira. Lincoln had paid a viatt to lire. Gollaher* and while the moth* ere were a t their knitting the little eons went flatJag. l a attempting to crow a footing t i t t l e Abe" fell into Or/.//YCO/./Y a deep hole of water. "I just poked heard the brush breaking ahead of him my pole," related Mr. Gollaher, him. With a wave of his hand he "and pulled him to the bank. That was one time 'Little Abe' was scared," continued Mr. Gollaher, "but he was not too badly frightened to grin and say: 'I hope I can do that much for you some day, Austin.' He really wanted something to happen to me that he might be placed in an attitude of having saved my life. 'Little Abe' was full of gratitude and spent a lot of his time trying to find some way to help those who had been good to him. He often said to me that if he ever found a gold mine there were just three people he would take Into his confidence; one was myself, and the other two were his mother and Mr. Hodgen, the miller. I asked him whether or not he would tell his father, and he said. 'No, It would worry pa, because he wouldn't want to dig.' " Preacher Kept His Cap. An old woman gave Lincoln a cap which she had made out of fox fur. "It was his Sunday cap," said Mr. Gollaher, "and Abraham was proud of It. A Journeyman preacher passed through the country one day and stopped at Uje Lincoln cabin. He decided to hold a meeting In the neighborhood. During the series of revivals the preacher lost his hat, and Mrs. Lincoln loaned 'Little Abe's' cap to the minister. I t was never returned. Abraham asked me what I thought of the preacher, and I told him that I thought that the fellow was a rascal. 'Well, Austin,' said Abraham, 'you know mother- has been telling us about the thief on the cross; I wish the Jews would catch this thief.' 'Little Abe' said that he would always be good, but that he would never join a church. He never forgot the preacher who stole the cap, and he frequently said to me that he never wanted another Sunday cap—one at a time was enough." Tom Lincoln was of a roving disposition. He was frequently away from home for days at a time. During Tom Lincoln's visits into the wilderness "Little Abe" was his mother's only protection. H e never left his mother while Tom Lincoln was away, except to visit his traps, and Mrs. Lincoln often accompanied him on these errands. Austin Gollaher told me, a short time before he died, that Tom Lincoln owned two flintlock rifles; one of these guns he carried with him and ,the other he left at home. "During Tom Lincoln's absence on one occasion." said Mr. Gollaher, "the leader in the larder in the Lincoln home became bare. There was a deep snow upon the ground, and, since the nearest neighbor of the Lincoln's lived several miles away, it was apparent to Mrs. Lincoln that she and Tittle Abe* must find some game close to the Lincoln cabin or perish of hunger. Mrs. Lincoln was a courageous woman; she faced a conflict with as much determination as any woman in the world. Early one morning she told 'Little Abe' of the true condition of the cabin home, and said to him, 'We must go oot today and try to find some game.' Abraham Insisted upon an early start and he begged that he be permitted to cany the rifle. Mr*. Lincoln consented, and the two started oot in the tares* la Quest of food. They Had proceeded bnt a short distance when Abe warned his mother; in a moment a fawn attempted to pass within a few feet of Abe and Mrs. Lincoln. Abe fired and the fawn fell dead In Its tracks, a bullet in Its heart. The Lincoins had enough meat to last them through the remainder of the winter. 'Little Abe' did not feel proud of having killed the young deer. He said to me the next time I saw him : 'Austin, I killed a little deer; it was a pretty thing, and I hated to kill It, but we needed meat. Mother said it was all right and I guess she knows. I didn't take aim and I know It was an accident.' Lincoln's Adventurous Spirit. A quarter of a mile west of Hodgenville there is a cave with an entrance in a cliff overlooking Nolynn river. There are few boys who ever lived In Hodgenville any length of time who have not explored this cave. Abraham Lincoln was no exception. A number of years ago an old man by the name of Brownfleld told me that Lincoln, when a small child wus lost In this particular cavern, and that he spent the entire night In the cave. "He was treed," said Mr. Brownfleld, "by his faithful dog the next morning." From notes which I made at the time I am enabled to relate the narrative In Mr. Brownrleld's own language, or practically in his own language: "While Lincoln did not possess as adventurous a nature as some boys," said Mr. Brownfleld, "he had just enough of the boyish curiosity in him to cause him to attempt the hazardous task of finding 'hidden gold' In caves. It was late In the evening of early spring (I cannot recall the year) that the neighbors were notified that little Abe Lincoln was lost; that he had left home In the afternoon to go to Hodgens' mill, but that late In the evening he had not returned. Tom Lincoln spread the news, telling all the neighbors that 'Little Abe's mamma was beside herself, she being afraid that the Injuns had carried her boy away.' The neighbors gathered at the home of Tom Lincoln, bringing with them torches of pine knots. The woods were scoured, and the hallooing kept up till daylight, but no trace of "Little Abe' was found. Again the searchers gathered at the Lineoln cabin to consult with each other as to the best course to pursue, but before any plan of search was agreed upon Little Abe' and his rabbit dog came moseying up. Young Lincoln bad left his sack of corn at the mill, and while waiting his torn decided to stroll down the river Just to see how the "land lay" beyond the confines of Hodgen's mill. He found the cave, hurriedly dreamed a dream of hidden treasures, and in be went, Implicitly believing that he would come forth with an abundance of gold. He could neither find gold or the exit of the cave. Early in the morning of the next day his faithful dog, following the trail of t i t t l e Abe's' footsteps, treed Mm,' and ted the way out of the hole In the ground that Abe had polled in after him. Tom Lincoln piled the hickory, bnt the good mother took l i t t l e Abe' to her bosom, hugged him tightly, and then gave freely to him of her eornbread am) FOOD PRICE TO BE NAMED BY STATE FOOD ADMINISTRATION PLANS "SUGGESTING" PRICES TO PREVENT GOUGING. PRICES ON STAPLES VARY Several Cents' Difference On Same Commodity Shown By Reports From Different Towns. Lansing—A list of suggested prices tor staple foods is being worked out by experts at the state food administrator's office. Other states have already been using the "suggested" list and it is considered necessary In Michigan. According to letters reaching here, the range of prices all over the state is large. Several cents' difference on the same commodity, quality being equal, Is reported from various points. The Idea is to have committees representing the administration meet at least twice a week or oftener, and arrange prices at which, in the opinion of the food department the goods should be sold. It is probable that all prices will be fixed here in Lansing, although one plan suggested is to divide the state into three sections, western, central and eastern. The western prices would be promulgated at Grand Rapids, the ones for the central section at Lansing, and the eastern ones at Detroit. The publication of the prices in the newspapers would be the official notice of their existence. While the food adminstration does not attempt to "fix" prices, it does "suggest" them. In other states, where the prices have been so "suggested" the dealers in nearly all instances, have followed them, realizing that if they did not there would be Investigation by the government.

Better one enemy that you are sure of than n dozen doubtful friends, Lansing—Despite the fact that coal appeared in larger shipments at the railroad gateways to' the state, manufacturing plants continued to close the first of the week. Continued cold has reduced the efficiency of motive power to an absolute minimum. Consequently many smaller plants had to shut down. Monday afternoon, the Dow Chemical company, of Midland, the largest chemical plant In the state, notified John C. Hicks, acting fuel administrator In the absence of W. K. Prudden, that it had closed. Mr. Hicks promised to hurry coal to the company as soon as possible. Several large factories In Detroit employing tens of thousands, were also forced to suspend operation on account of the coal shortage.

MULES Those responsible for the order that no more^profanity is to be used by the mule drivers in our army in France, were doubtless moved by a worthy motive, but like many other worthy motives, it is more attractive in theory than in practice. The mule is an American institution. There has always been, in connection with this institution, a peculiar vocabulary that fits no other. The amenities of polite society are meaningless to his muleship. I t is only when|he4begins to smell the sulphur as it drips from the language of his driver, that t h e ^ J o n g - e ^ e d ^ y b r i d wakes up*to*the knowledge that there is "something doing," and begins to assert himself. If the report is true and the order is really in effect, the mule will feel like an orphan in a strange land, and i f £ _ m u l e a c a n t h i n k he will call down curses on the day that he wandered so far from home and those friends who, if not the most polished in their diction, at least had thejmerit ofiperfext lucidity. 1 Father Remembers Hit Days of Detpair When He Invites Guests for the Sumptuous Repast.

I Twenty years ngo Max Gootschnelder !landed in New York with a slim young jwife, a baby girl that could just toddle, [fc30 in money and a hopeful disposition. jThe first few weeks in the strange ^America was a period of such forlorn • and homesick misery that Max never forgot them. And so, when Max and Mrs. Max, ino longer slim, sat in their fine house dlscusslnp the details of a celebration 'which might be suitable to signalize the engagement of the only daughter lof a prosperous furrier to marry a rich !young diamond merchant, Max had an idea, says the Cincinnati Ttmea- Star. "Mamma," he said, "you remember when we landed in New York—you and Carrie, our baby, and me? You iremember how it was for us then? Well, we shnll give a feast for our daughter, Carrie, and her young man, but we will give It to the people who are now like we were then. Our 'friends are happy. Thoy are not hungry. They are not sorrowful because there is no one to choor thorn tip. They do not need a feast like the poor people that have come from the old country. Those are the poople who shall enjoy our Carriers wedding feast." And PO the feast was given, awny down in East Broadway. In the building which is occupied by the Hebrew Immigrants' Sheltering Aid society, and which overflows nowadays with hundreds of misery-stricken people from the countries at war in Europe. There was a room whore 1,"0 per- -Bons cotild eRt at once. As soon as one •crowd of 150 had finished, another came In. There were no Invitations find no red tape. Max and Mrs. Max and the pretty Carrie and her proud huaband-to-be stood at the door and smilingly welcomed all who came. There was chicken and duck and poose innd gefillte fish. And everyone was ^welcome to all of everything. Even the kids, who stealthily pilfered goodies were urged to pilfer imore. And the feast brought joy and good cheer to a thonsand people who are homeless in n strange land. And the spirit of kindliness so permeated dt a& that Mamma Gootschnelder, now « n d then* was compelled to wipe away * sympathetic tear. And after it was « n over. Papa Gootschnelder declared t h a t his undying regret would be that lie h a d only one daughter to give a wedding; feast for. A news item say's "Hoover wants the government to buy all the sugar." It might Just as well. With the whole country going " d r y " there'll soon be nothing left to mix it with. Mr. Hoover should award^a medal to that beauty doctor who declared that cornbread "makes for a fine pink complexion." That ought to out-Hoover Hoover. If that man Hover keepB on he will have all the doctors "dowi* on h i m . " There won't be a case of chronic dyspepsia or gout in the country. In thanking Gott for the destruction of that hospital ship, did the kaiser apologize for the failure to sink the the wounded soldiers who werejabroad? The old time[spendthnft who boasted of having "money to burn" now has a son who is boastful of the fact that he has coal to burn. Half of Wood and Hay "February, second day, half the wood and half the h a y , " runs an oldtime saying oft repeated in pioneer days when people were more given to the observance of signs and prophesies. Ofttimes, too, there was sound reascn and years of experience bound up in those oln time jingles. According to the saying mentioned above, people may figure on burning about as much fuel during the ensuing winter ar.d spring days as they have during the past fall and winter; likewise,' stock-feeders have reached the halfway mark in the consumption of feed by their herds. fftt ft "CranberryJCorners" fJThe comedy drama, "CranberJy Corners." produced under the auspices and for the benefit of the Red Cross society last Friday was a huge success from every standpoint, dramatically and financially.

Recalls Misplaced Confidence and Made All t h e More Tragic Because of Splendid Ideals. Only t h e ruin of t h e villa "Valhalla" remains of the ill-fated Norwegian colony established by Ole Bull iu Pennsylvania iu t h e lute '50s. T h e story of the colony, says t h e Kunsas City Times, is one of misplaced confidence, m a d e all t h e more tragic because of the splendid ideals t h a t led to i t s establishment. T h e great Norwegian violinist, alw a y s a n admirer of America, wished to obtain a location for a model colony of his countrymen.

A clearing w a s made, t h e village of Oleana built and, in a n address to the townspeople, Ole Bull set forth the hopes t h a t had inspired his mission. T h e address follows : " B r o t h e r s of N o r w a y ! From the cllnie where t h e north/' wind h a s its h o m e ; where t h e maelstrom roars, and where t h e aurOra for half t h e year takes the place of t h e genial sun, we iRive come to find a home. When we were among o u r mountains, and w a r was bringing want and famine upon us, we heard there w a s a country in a milder climate where liberty dwelt and plenty reigned. Upon looking over our records, we found that o u r countrymen, under Thorfin, h a d discovered that hind more than eight hundred years ago, but that they were met by cruel und savage Indians, a n d h a d left no record of themselves, except some traces of their sad history engraven iu the rocks of Fall river, a n d one temple which they raised to God on an island a t the mouth of N a r r a g a n s e t t bay. All other record of them had passed away. "How different is our reception from that which Thorfin and his followers received. No savage Indian startles us with his w a r whoop, but kind friends meet us on every side, taking us by the hand a n d giving us welcome to our new home. "Brothers of N o r w a y ! We must not disappoint this confidence, b u t by lives of industry and honesty show to our new brothers that they have not mlspluced their friendship. "And now, to these gentlemen of New York a n d Pennsylvania, who have so kindly assisted by their counsel and advice in this work, I return my most sincere a n d heartfelt thanks, and casting ourselves upon the goodness of our heavenly Father, resting secure upon his promise, let us go on In the daily performance of every duty, a n d he will bless u s . " T h e r e v w a s a pathetic aftermath. H a r d l y h a d t h e pioneers got well under way with their Homebuilding when it w a s discovered that the violinist had been victimized. T h e company that sold him t h e land h a d no valid title to it. T h e people of Oleana scattered, some of thein penniless a n d with few friends in the new country. Ole Bull, with splendid loyalty to those he had brought to this pass, gave public concerts to raise money for their relief.

After t h a t it's God's j o b , a n d unless you stick in and try to manage yourself, he'll see you through." "All right, I'll do It." Carol gasped. She opened her lips a few times, and swallowed hard. She didn X krow what to do next. Wildly she racked her brain for the next s t e p In tills vital performance. "I—think we ought to pray," she said feebly. "All right, we'll pray." He rolled curiously off the stick of wood, a n d fell, as if by instinct, into the a t t i t u d e of prayer. Carol gazed about her helplessly. But true to her training, she knelt beside him. Then came silence. "I—well, I'll pray," she said with grim determination. "Dear Father in Heaven," she began weakly, and t h e n she forgot her timidity and her fear, and realized only that this was a crisis In the life of the drunken man. "Oh, God, he'll do it. He'll let go, and turn it over to you l i e Isn't w o r t h anything. God, none of us are, but you can handle him, for you've had worse jobs than this, though it doesn't seem possible. You'll help him, God, a n d love him, and show him how, for h e hasn't the faintest idea what to d o next, and neither have I. But you brought him into our barn tonight, a n d you'll see him through. Oh, God, for J e s u s ' sake, help Ben Peters. Amen, "Now, what shall I do?" she wondered. "What's your father for?" She looked quickly at Ben Peters. He had not spoken, hut something certainly had asked. "What's your father for?" "You stay here, Ben, and pniy for yourself, and I'll send father out. I'm not just sure what to suy next, a n d fnther'll finish you up, You pray for all you're worth." She was gone in a flash, through the kitchen, through the hall, up the s t a i r s two at a time, and her arm thrown closely about her father's shoulder. "Oh, father, I got stuck," she wailed, "I'm so ashamed of myself. But you can finish him off, can't you? I honestly believe he's started." He took her firmly by the arms a n d s q u a r e d her around on his lap. "One, two. three, ready, go. Now, w h a t ? " "Ben Peters. He was drunk in t h e b a r n and I took him into the woodshed and gave him some hot coffee—and some religion, but not enough to h u r t him. I told him he had to get converted, and he said he would. So I told him about It, but you'd better tell him Rgain. for I'm afraid I made q u i t e a mess of it. And then we prayed, and I was stuck for fair, father, for I couh'n't think what to do next. But I do believe it was God who said. W h a t ' s your father for?' And so I left him praying for himself, and—you'd b e t t e r hurry, or he may get cold feet and r u n away. Be easy with him, father, b u t don't let him off. This is the first c h a n c e we've ever had at Ben P e t e r s , a n d God'U never forgive us if we let him slip throueh our fingers." Carol was dumped off onto the floor and her father was half-way down t h e s t a i r s before she caught her b r e a t h . Then she smiled. Then she blushed. " T h a t was one bad job." she said to herself sadly. *Tm a disgrace to t h e Methodist church. T h a n k goodness t h e trustees'!! never hear of it. FU bribe Ben Peters to eternal silence If I h a v e to do It with kisses." Then h e r face grew very soft. "Poor old m a n ! Oh, t h e poor old m a n ! " A quick r u s h of t e a r s blinded her eyes, and h e r t h r o a t throbbed. "Oh, why do t h e y — w h a t makes men like t h a t ? Can't t h e y aee, can't they know, how awful t h e y are, how—" She shuddered. "I c a n ' t M e for the life of rae what makes God t f e a t n s decently at all." Her f a c e brightened again. "It was a bad Job, • H right, but I feel kind of pleased a b o r t it. I hope f a t h e r won't mention It to t h e girls." And Ben P e t e r s trnly had a start, inc r e d i b l e aa It seemed.

The Connie Problem. Mr. Starr was getting ready to go to conference, and the girls hovered about him with anxious eyes. This was their fifth conference since coming to Mount Mark—the time limit for Methodist ministers was five years. The Starrs, therefore, would be transferred, and where? Small wonder that the girls followed him around the house and spoke In soft voices and looked with tender eyes at the old parsonage and the wide lawn. They would be leaving n e s t week-. Already the curtains were down, and laundered, and packed. The t r u n k s were filled, the books were boxed. Yes, they were leaving, but whither were they bound? " n e t your ecclesiastical dander up. father," Carol urged, "don't let them give us a church fight, or a twentythousand- dollar debt on a thousanddollar congregation." "We don't care for a big salary or a stylish congregation," Lark added, "but we don't want to go back to w a s h p a n s and kerosene lamps again." The conference was held in Fairfield, and he Informed the girls casually t h a t he would be home on the flrf train after the assignments were made. He said It casually, for he did not wish them to know how perturbed he was over the coming change. During the conference he tried in many and devious ways to learn the will of the authorities regarding his future, but he found no clue. And at homo the glrla were discussing the matter very little, hut thinking of nothing else. They were determined to be pleased about it. Just the same, on Wednesday evening, the girls sat silent, with intensely flushed faces and painfully shining eyes, watching the clock, listening for the footstep. They had deliberately remained away from the station. They thought they could face It better within the friendly walls of the parsonage. It was all settled now, father knew where they were going. Oh. wrr- hadn't he wired? It must be terribly bad then, he evidently wanted to break it to thejri gently. Maybe it was a circuit! There was the whistle now ! Only a few -minutes now. Suppose bis salary were cut down—good-by to silk stockings and kid gloves—cheap, but kid, Just the s a m e ! Suppose the parsonage would be old-fashioned ! Sn; pose there wasn't any parsonage at all. and they would have to pay r e n t ! Sup— Then the door slammed. Carol and Lark picked up their darning, and Connie bent earnestly over her magazine. Aunt Grace covered a yawn with her slender fingers and looked out of the window. "Hello !" "Why, hello, papa ! Back already?" They dropped darning and magazine and flew to welcome him home. "Come and sit down!" "My, it seemed a long t i m e ! " "We had lots of fun, father." "Was it a nice conference?" "Mr. J a m e s out us two bushels of potatoes !" "We're going to have chicken tomorrow—the Ladies' Aiders sent It with their farewell love." "Wasn't It a dandy d a y ? " "Well, it's all settled." "Yes, we supposed it would be. W a s the conference good? We read accounts of it every day, and acted stuckup when it said nice things about you." "We are t o — " "Ju-just n minute, father," Interrupted Connie anxiously. "We d o n t care a snap where It is, honestly wa don't. We're Just crazy about It, wherever it Is. We've got it all settled. You needn't be afraid to tell us." "Afraid to tell u s ! " mocked the twins indignantly. " W h a t kind of slavedrivers do you think we are7" " F a t h e r knows we're all right. Go on. ddddy, who's to be our next flock?" "We haven't any. we ** The girls' faces paled. "Haven't any? Yon mean—** "I mean we're to stay In Mount Mark." "Stay in— W h a t r "Mount Mark. They—" "They extended the limit*' cried Connie, springing up. "No." h e denied, laughing. "Tliey m a d e m e a presiding elder, a n d we're—M "A presiding e l d e r ! F a t h e r I Honestly? T h e y — " T h e y ought t o h a v e made yoo a bishop." <7ied O w l tayafljr. "I've bcea expecting it all my life. That's where the next junjp'Il land you." "I pity the next parsonage bunch," suld Connie sympathetically. "Why? There's nothing the m a t t e r with our c h u r c h ! " "Oh, no, t h a t isn't what I mean. But the next minister's family can't possibly come up to us, and so—" Th others broke her sentence with their laughter. ' T a l k about me and ray complexion!" gasped Carol, wiping her eyes. "I'm nothing to Connie and her family pride. W h e r e will we live now, fat h e r ? " "We'll rent a house—any house we like." "Rent 1 Mercy, father, doesn't the conference furnish the elders with houses? We can never afford to pay r e n t ! Never!" "Oh, we have a salary of twenty-five hundred a y e a r now," he said, with apparent complacence, but careful to watch closely for the effect of thia statement. It gratified htm, too, much as he had expected. The girls stood stock-still and gazed at him, and then, with a violent struggle for self-composure Carol a s k e d : "Did you get any of It in advance? I need some new slippers." So the packing was finished, a suitable house w a s found—modern, with reasonable rent—on Maple avenue where the oaks were most magnificent. and the parsonage family became just ordinary "folks," a parsonage household no longer. Mr. Starr's new position necessitated long and frequent absences from home, and that was a drawback to the family comradeship. But ' h e girls' pride in his advancement was so colossal, and their determination to live up to the dignity of the eldership was so deepseated, that affairs ran on quite serenely in the new home. One day this beautiful serenity was broken in upon in a most unpleasant way. Carol looked up from "De Senect u t e " and flung out her arms in an all- «1—1 Think We Ought to Pray," She Said Feebly. relieving yawn. Then she looked at her aunt, asleep on the couch. She looked at Lark, who was aimlessly drawing feathers on the skeletons of birds In her biology text. She looked at Connie, sitting upright in her chair, a small book close to her face, alert, absorbed, oblivious to the world. Connie was wide awake, and Carol resented It. "What are you reading, Con?" She asked reproachfully. Connie looked up, startled, and colored a little. "Oh—poetry," she stammered. Carol w a s surprised. "Poetry," she echoed. "Poetry? What kind of poetry T Connie answered evasively "It is by an old Oriental writer. I don't suppose you've ever read i t Khayyam Is i his name." "Some name," said Carol suspiciously. "What's the poem T H e r eyes had narrowed and darkened. By this time Carol had firmly convinced herself that she was bringing Connie up—r belief which afforded lively amusement to self-conducting Connie. "Why, it's T h e R n b a i y a t ' It's—" " T h e R n b a i y a t ! ' " Carol frowned. Lark looked up from the skeletons with sudden interest. " T h e Rabaty a t r By K h a y y a m ?

"I don't believe It, you know," Connie said coolly. "I'm only reading i t How can I know whether it's trash or not, unless I read It? I—" "Ministers' daughters a r e supposed to keep their fingers clear of t h e burning ends of matches," said Carol neatly. "We can't handle them without getting scorched, or blackened, at l e a s t Prudence says BO." "Prudence," said Connie gravely, " i s a dear sweet thing, but she's awfully old-fashioned, Carol; you know t h a t " Carol and Lark were speechless. They would as soon have dreamed of questioning the catechism as Prudence's perfection. "She's narrow. She's a darling, of course, but she isn't up-to-date. I want to know w h a t folks are talking" about. I don't believe tills poem. I'm a Christian. But I want to know what other folks think about me and what I believe. T h a t ' s all. Prudence is fine, but I know a good deal more about some things than Prudence will know when she's a thousand years old." The twins still sat silent. "Of course, some folks wouldn't approve of parsonage girls reading things like this. But I approve of it. I want to know why I disagree with this poetry, and I can't until I know where we disagree. It's beautiful, Carol, really. It's kind of sad. It makes me want to cry. It's—" "I've a big notion to tell papa on you," said Carol soberly and sadly. Connie rose at oflce. "I'm going to tell papa myself." Carol moved uneasily in her chair. "Oh, let It go this time. I—I just mentioned it to relieve my feelings. I won't tell yet. I'll talk it over with you again. IT! have to think it over first." "I think I'd rather tell him," insisted Connie. Carol looked worried, but she knew Connie would do as she said. So she got up nervously and went with her. She would have to see it through now, of course. Connie walked silently up the stairs, with Carol following meekly behind, and rapped at her father's door. Then she entered, and Carol, in a hushed sort of way, closed the door behind them. "I'm reading this, father. Any objections?" Connie faced him calmly, and' handed him the little book. He examined It gravely, his brows contracting, a sudden wrinkling at the corners of his lips that might have meant laughter, or disapproval, or anything. "I thought a parsonage girl should not read it," Carol said bravely. "I've never read it myself, but I've heard about it, and parsonage girls ought to read parsonage things. Prudence says so. But—" "But I want to know what other folks think about what I believe," said Connie. "So I'm reading it." "What do you think of it?" he asked quietly, and he looked very strangely at his baby daughter. It was a crisis, and lie must be very careful. "I think it is beautiful," Connie said softly, and her lips drooped n little, and a wistful pathos crept into her voice. "It seems so sad. I keep wishing I could cry about it P a r t of ft I don't understand very well." He held out a hand to Connie, and she put her own in it confidently. Carol, too, came and stood close behind him. "Yes," he said, "It is beautiful, Connie, and It Is very terrible. We can't understand it fully because we can'! feel what he felt. He looked thoughtfully at the girls. "He was a marvelous man, t h a t Khayyam—years ahead of his people, and his time. He wa? big enough to see the Idiocy of the heathen Ideas of God, he was beyond them, he spurned them. But he wa* not quite big enough to reach o u t alone, and get hold of our kind of s God. It Is a wonderful poem. II shows the weakness, the helplessness of a gifted man who has nothing to cling to. I think it will do you good to read It, Connie. Read it again and again, and thank God, my child, that though you a r e only a girl, you have the very thing this man, this genius was craving. We admire his t a l e n t but we pity his weakness. You will feel sorry for him. You read i t too Carol. You'll like i t We can't u n d e r stand I t a s I say, because we are so sure of our God. that we can't feel what he felt, having nothing. Of course it makes you want to cry, Connie.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, Feb. 13, 1918 No.? WHAT SAMMIES EAT t I •Meat Twice Daily, White Bread, Vegetables, Chief Foods. fCoffiC O Served at Breakfast and Buttermilk, Tea, Cocoa or Water at Other Meals. ! „ FIRST WHITE BOY Youth Accompanied Columbus' Expedition in 1492. The old idea'that army diet should consist largely of beans, hardtack and Coffee, Is no longer approved, writes Belie Case Harrington in Leslie's. ID the present training camps meat, preferably beef, Is served twice a day, with white bread baked In the general camp bakery and kept 24 hours be- | fore serving. Where green vegetables j , can be obtained they are used, other- j I wise canned goods are substituted. I i Coffee is served at breakfast, and but-1 j termllk, lemonade, tea, cocoa or waiter at other meals. Meals, which in , the vernacular are "mess" or "chow," are served cafeteria style. Every soldier Is furnished with an outfit which consists of a meat-pan,! knife, fork and spoon, and a long-1 handled cup. The cover of the meat- j | pan serves as a plate, and the outfit Is ; so arranged that each man may do his , | own cooking in case of an emergency.j ! Each man takes his meat-pan a n d : | passes before a table where he Is \ berved with the various dishes pre-1 I pared. He then goes to a table, or if i there is none, drops down on the ground, and eats In absolute content-; I ment. Don't feel too sorry for the boys, even if they do write longingly home wishing for mother's cookies or . Jane's fried chicken. Men in outdoor training have good appetites, and they are far better off physically than if fed on the salads and Ices and sodas they probably would have at homo. What they miss most is sweets. If you are sending things from home put in cookies, candies and jams or jellies. Milk chocolate is one of the things u soldier seems to cruve, Und a jar of malted milk will come handy if he is not feeling well. Be sure not to send food that is too rich as the boys are on plain diet. \ One of the comforting thoughts to the friends at home is the fact that | Uncle Sam is bound to maintain good | health among his soldiers. Even if i ,there were no humane considerations,' this would be necessary from a purel y economic standpoint. Sick soldiers are a menace, and a regiment not up 'to par in the matter of health is an lawful handicap. All men are vaccinate d for smallpox, and Inoculated against typhoid as soon as they enter service. Minor disorders, such as blisters, bowel trouble, or sore throat are carefully watched by the officers in charge, and there Is a hospital with trained nurses In every camp. No faking can pass. The officers have sharp eyes to discriminate between real and simulated Illness. As the boys say, "There are only two times a day when a fellow ;can get sick"—at sick calL which ocjcnrs at 7 a. m., and again at 5:30 p. m. Between times "he Just has to 'stand I t " Regular habits, outdoor life, plain *food, and strenuous military drill, are jin themselves strong factors toward good health, and many a m*n who enters the service a comparative weakling will come out fine of physique and strong of limb. As for drinking, it "isn't done!" Saloons and even soft drink establishments are not allowed to sell anyt h i n g to n soldier in uniform, and I'tnany young men who have heretofore (been occasional drinkers now proudly .^proclaim themselves teetotalers. No Butter at Vaasar. The announcement at Vassar college ithat no more butter will be served at kllnner has caused much discussion, but fthe girls promise to give the plan a trial, says New York World. It is a war measure, established on account <»f the high cost of living. The girls 'will have gravies, Jellies and Jams to take the place of butter. It was said fchat the college would lift the ban ipn butter for dinner Just as soon as Ithere were any complaints. The hard-boiled egg for breakfast lis doomed, too; at least it must not be served where omelet is to be had. Because most of the girls have a •sweet tooth, the college authorities will Increase the sugar service a t all jmeala; but this will be evened up by putting down of m e a t _ Detailed at Helm While Superior! Slept, Youngster Was Blamed for Wreck of Santa Maria. Many phases of the life of Columbus offer mysteries that the historians have never been able to clear away, and one student of the life of the great explorer has come across an incidental mystery that has an appealing interest. It relates to a boy who accompanied the expedition of 1492—the only boy among Its members, and consequently the first white boy to set foot in America. The contemporary accounts of the first expedition of Columbus mention the boy in question only once and that briefly. They indicate that he was the only boy in the expedition and they place on his young shoulders the blame for the great catastrophe that befell when the Santa Maria was wrecked on the coast of Hayti. To be sure the story of the wreck shows that the boy was less to blame than his elders, but it was easy enough to make him the scapegoat It was the night before Christmas, 1492, ten weeks after the discovery of the land, and Columbus was pushing his search for gold among the West Indies. The flagship, the Santa Maria, was skirting the coast of Hayti, and late at night, as the wind was light and the ship barely moving, Columbus went to his cabin for rest. scouts with colored glasses or screens of contrasting colors to use with field glasses, notes Popular Mechanics Magazine. When the colors of these screens are properly selected, uniforms and other objects may be made to appear in contrast Instead of in harmony, with their surroundings, he claims. Camouflage as practiced in many cases is accomplished largely by the use of p a i n t objects being give$ shades, that blend with the landscape. In spite of certain difficulties that would arise, It is believed that such efforts at concealment could be rendered quite ineffectual by the means stated. 8hould Eat Mushrooms. Wild mushrooms are a food that should be more largely utilized in this country now that food is scarce, according to William A. Murrill, assistant director of the New York botanical gardens, who thinks the people should be taught how to distinguish the poisonous from the wholesome varieties. Wild mushrooms are eaten in this country almost exclusively by the foreign-born population. Perplexing.

Of course they blamed the boy to move into it in the spring. Mrs. Woodworth was employoJ by the Governor in the war risk insurance bureau of the Treasury department.

S. PERFECTS SHIP THAT CAN NOT SINK THOU8AND8 OF AIRTIGHT AND WATER-TIGHT CELL8 W I L L KEEP VESSEL AFLOAT. SAILS FOR EUROPE THIS WEEK Claimed That Even With Great Holes Torn in Sides, Ship Would Remain On Surface. Washington—The first non-ainkable seagoing ship, the Lucia, achievement of American genius, will load this week and leave for Europe She will be without convoy. She goes as an open challenge to German submarines to prive that she is invulnerable. No test has been made or will be made of the efficacy of her multiplicity of airtight and water-tight cellB. William F. Donnelly, inventor of the non-ainkable construction of the Lucia, a marine engineer of New York, will have charge of loading of the vessel. Although the Lucia is fitted with 12,- 000 of the water and air-tight cells, permanently attached to frames and deck beams and other available spaces of the deck, about 15 to 20 per cent of the cargo space must be packed with additional numbers of these buoyant boxes. Mathematical calculations from small scale experiments, are considered sufficient proof that even with a hole 40 feet long blown in her side she would remain safely afloat, supported by the honeycomb of cells. Each cell is independent of any other for its supporting quality and the great number of them, in addition to the ordinary safety device of watertight doors and other water-tight compartments on every sea-going vessel give so great a degree of bouyancy that two or three torpedoes would not be likely to work havoc enough to sink such a ship. A vessel, so smashed and torn by torpedoes, with gaping holes below the water line could remain on the surface indefinitely, simply waterlogged with no danger to her crew. Unless unusually rent open, she could proceed to a port, however, slowly. In any event neither lives or cargo would be likely to be lost, for succoring vessels either could tow her to port or salvage at the spot the undamaged part of the cargo. LOANS GIVEN WAR FACTORIES Over $150,000,000 Advanced to Small Shops By War Credits Board. Washington—Approximately $150,- 000,000 has been advanced to contractors on war work by the war credits board, the war department announced Monday. This includes money for clothing, food, equipment, small ammunition and similar producton. The advances, made under authority of congress, have stimulated production of munitions and other materials to their highest possible degree. In some caseB they have prevented the closing down of plants because of inability of contractors to get money to meet the payrolls. The law permits advances not exceeding 30 per cent of the contract price for supplies, such advances to be amply secured. The board announces that "when a concern that has a contract with the war department for supplies, has shown that It needs financial assistance and haa been able to comply with the act by giving adequate security, the board haa approved an advance payment and the money haa been received by the contractor without delay. GERMANS AMBUSH U. S. PATROL One Wounded Man Returns, Others Killed or Captured. With the American Army In Franca —Five American soldiers are believed to have been killed, four are missing and one was wounded, when an American patrol waa ambushed In No Man's Land Saturday night by a superior force of Germans. The spot where the encounter occurred is an isolated one and reports concerning the casualties inflicted by both sides are meager. Only one Amercan is known to have escaped the trap of the Germans which was laid in front of our wire 3.

A group of four convicts were heard the other day chatting about what they were "in for," and each one in turn told his experience. The first had killed a man, the second had put another man's name to a check, while the third one had gone for a plurality of spouses. The fourth man. however, did not seem Inclined to make any disclosures. He was a sanctimonious-looking man, who, although a professional gambler, was called "parson.1' "Come, parson, what brought vou here?" "I don't care to say," said he. "Out with it. Shoot anybody?" asked one. "No, I didn't shoot anyone but since you would like to know, I got 'time' because I didn't build a church:" Deep silence fell upon the group. No such excuse for penal servitude had ever been heard before, and the "parson" was asked to explain. "Well, you see, a congregation raised several thousand dollars to build a church, and handed it over to me to build, and I didn't build it. That's all!" Went Down With the Ship. Attention has been officially called fo the signal bravery of Robert Au.shurne, a navy radio electrician of the first class, who went down when the United States army transport Antilles was sunk. When the ship was struck Ausburne and a fellow electrician named MacMahon were asleep in the radio room, Ausburne, realizing the seriousness of the situation, told his fellow worker to get on his life preserver. As he left to take his emergency station at the radio key he shouted to his companion, "Good-by, Mac." This was the last seen of him. Going to the radio room MacMahon found it locked, and realizing that the ship was fast sinking attempted to get Ausburne out, but without success. Buddie Knew Him.

Messrs. Harris, formerly of Audubon, Iowa, wrote the "Audubon Advocate," expressing their satisfaction of things In Western Canada. They located at Makepeace, Alberta. They say there are those who make good, and those who fail. The former are those that land agents refer to when advertising their land. "But," continues the letter, "A great many of the farmers in this vicinity pay for their land with their first crop. A man near here bought a section of land In the year 1915 for $28 per acre. He broke 800 acres of the land during the summer of 1915. In the fall of 1916 he threshed 16,000 bushels of wheat, which paid for his land, all expenses and had a balance of $4,000. In the fall of 1917 he threshed nearly as much off the other half of the section. At the present time he would not take $50 per acre for his land. "We have had five crops in Alberta. The two dry years (1914-1917) our wheat made 20 and 80 bushels to the acre respectively. In 1916 we raised 50 bushels of wheat to the acre on summer fallow. The best results are obtained by plowing or breaking in the summer, working it down in the fall so that It will retain the moisture. Thus farming one-half your ground each year. "Persons owning land here and still living in the States should, if they don't feel themselves able to come up here and finance themselves until they could get their first crop, get some of their land broken and worked down In the fall before they come. The next spring they could come and put in the crop, fence and put up their buildings. This way they have to wait only one summer for their first crop. "It Is not advisable for a person to come here in the spring, break out land and put it in crop the first year, because the moisture is not in the ground and a failure Is almost certain unless it is an exceptionally wet year. "One of the boys from that locality, Mr. Peder M. Jensen came to Alberta last spring. He bought a 30-60 Rumely Oil-Pull engine on the 8th day of June, 1917. After that date he broke 1,100 acres of prairie sod for which he received an average of $5.00 per acre. "Mr. Hansen from your community, w a s up here last fall with several prospective land buyers from that neighborhood. At that time he inquired the value of the crop on the section w e were farming. We told him that it would probably make in the neighborhood of $12,000. This same crop when sold brought nearly $19,000. The most of it being sold when prices were low for the year."— Advertisement SENSE OF GUILT IN ANIMALS Proof That They Know When They Are Doing Wrong, and Seek to Evade Consequences. In military stables horses ore known to have pretended to be lame In order to avoid going to a military exercise. A chimpanzee had been fed on cake when sick. After his recovery he often feigned coughing in order to procure dainties. 1 The cuckoo, as Is well known, lays its eggs in another bird's nest, and, to make the deception surer, it takes away one o r the other bird's eggs. Animals are conscious of their deceit, as Is shown by the fact that they try to act secretly and noiselessly ; they show a sense of guilt If detected; they take precautions in advance to arouse discovery; in some cases they manifest regret and repentance. Thus, bees which steal hesitate often before and after their exploits, as If they feared punishment. A naturalist describes how his monkey committed theft. While he pretended to sleep the animal regarded film with hesitation. Rnd stopped every time his master moved or seemed on the point of awakening. Toe Fast for the Dictionaries.

That a German submarine endeavored to attack the destroyers while the latter were engaged in rescue work is the statement made by an American officer at another Irish port where a large number of men were landed. The officer said to a correspondent. "The thing that somehow impressed me most in the whole experience was the promptitude and precision with which the British men handled their craft under the trying conditions of rescue work. This work had only just begun when there came the most exciting moments of the night. "A U-boat from the curtain of blackness behind which she was skulking thought to finish the work by an attack on the destroyers. Three torpedoes were discharged in a few minutes at three destroyers and it was only due to the watchfulness of the lookouts and the splendid seamanship of the British Naval men that they failed to reach their targets. "This onslaught, however, revealed the approximate location of the enemy and a pair of destroyers at once at imbs •roa sunk it was afraid to show again." Troops Cool (n Crisis.

Navy officials are inclined to the view that this is an isolated case and have no reason to change their view that the submarine menace has been overcome. Many devices enter into the ba*tlo against the U-boats, some of which have been evolved by American inventors. Others have been greatly improved since the United States entered the war, and the detection apparatus now installed on American craft is so successful that British craft are being similarly equipped. U. S. Craft Feared. There have been indications that the U-boats have learned to fear this ability of American craft to locate ihem at a distance and maneuver to bring the submerged vessel within range of a depth bomb. With a destroyer in the vicinity, the under-water craft, moves carefully, far below the surface, depending on mechanical ears which bring to her the propeller beats of the surface vessel. When a tiestroyer stops to "listen," unhamp. ered by the beat of her own engines, the lurking foe also stops to lie silent below until the destroyer moves ou again. Such details as have come from Europe indicate that the Tuscania was torpedoed by a single submarine, which slipped under the advance screen of destroyers leading the convoy fleet. There is no evidence of ?n attack in force, and the U-boat probably got into the path of the liner largely by chance. Sometimes as many as 40 vessels make up a convoyed fleet.

Battered Bodies Washed Ashore, Cable press dispatches from an Irish port saying that 44 bodies of American soldiers, battered beyond recognition, had been washed ashore 15 miles from the scene of the torpedoing dampened hope that the troop losses would prove very sm .-.11. According to figures given in earlier press dispatches only 101 of those aboard, including soldiers, members of the crew and passengers, were missing. This had led officials to believe that with the heavy loss first indicated among the crew most American soldiers had been saved. The report from the Irish port, which also said that army identification tags found on the bodies of the Roldiers washed ashore bore no names or numbers, making identification impossible, caused considerable speculation. Army regulations require identification tags bearing name, rank, company and regiment of the wearer. Although there was no official confirmation of this report and officials declined to comment, it was pointed out that the dispatches said that the soldiers had not been assigned to definite units.

D. W. Heldt, of the signalmen; A. B. Garretson, of the conductors, and W. G. Lee, of the trainmen, made the charges. W. G. Lee, president of the railway trainmen, said that he had evidence that several railroad men were replaced by inexperienced employes at important gateways, that engines had been permitted to freeze up over night and that rain "crews had been called out and kept waiting until the 16-hour law overtook them before being sent out to the terminal. Asked by Chairman Lane, of the railroad wage commission, who was responsible for these things, Mr. Lee said he believed he could trace it back to about four banks in New York city, which control railroad financing. Custer May Qo Overseas Soon. Camp Custer, Battle Creek—Considable speculation is being indulged in by officers of the command concerning the failure of the war department to order the last quota of the first draft to Camp Custer on February 19.

CHAPTER XII—Continued. —13— Connie's eyes were very bright. She linked hard a few times, choking back the rush of tears. Then with an impulsiveness she did not often show, she lifted her father's hand and kisaed it passionately. "Oh, father," she whispered, "I was so afraid—you wouldn't quite see." She kissed his hand again. Carol looked at her sister respectfully. "Connie," she said, "I certainly beg your pardon. I just wanted to be clever, and didn't know what I was talking about. When you have finished it, give It to me, will you? I want to read it, too; I think it must be wonderful." She held out a slender shapely hand and Connie took It quickly, clumsily, and the two girls turned toward the door. "The danger in reading things," said Mr. Starr, and they paused to listen, "the danger is that we may find arguments we cannot answer; we may feel that we have been In the wrong, that what we read is right. There's the danger. Whenever you find anything like that, Connie, will you bring it to me? I think I can find the answer for you. If I don't know It, I will look until I come upon it. For we have been given an answer to every argument you'll come to me, won't you?" "Yes, father, I will—I know you'll find the answers." After the door had closed behind them, Mr. Starr sat for a long time staring straight before him into space. "The Connie problem," he said at last. And then, "I'll have to be better pals with her. Connie's" going to be pretty fine, I believe." CHAPTER X I I I . Boosting Connie. Connie was past fifteen when she an* nounced gravely one day, 'Tve changed my mind. I'm going to be an author." "An author," scoffed Carol. "You! I thought you were going to get married and have eleven children." "Oh, I've plenty of time for them yet, when I find a father for them. Yes, I'm gotng to be an author." "Can you write?" "Of course I can write." "What makes you think you can write, Con?" inquired Lark, with genuine interest. "I have already done it." "Was it any good?" "Tt was fine." Carol and Lark smiled at each other. "Yes," said Carol, "she has the longhaired instinct. I see it now. They always say it Is fine. Was it a masterpiece, Connie T" "Well, considering my youth and Inexperience, it was," Connie admitted, her eyes sparkling appreciatively. Garol's wit was no longer lost upon her. at any rate. "Bring it out. Let's see It I've never met a masterpiece yet—except a dead one." said Lark. "No—no," Connie backed up quickly. "You can't see it, and—don't ask any more about It Has father gone out?" The twins stared at her again. "What's the matter with you?" "Nothing, but it's my story and you can't see i t That settles It Was there any mail today?" Afterward the twins talked it over together. "What made her back down like that?" Carol wondered. "Just when we had her gotng." "Why, didn't you catch onto that? Hhe has sent It off to a magazine, of course, and she doesn't want us to know about i t I saw through It right •way." Carol looked at her twin with new interest. "Did you ever send 'em off?" Lark flushed a little. •Tea, I did, and always got 'em back, too—worse rock. That's why I gave it up." "What did you do with them when they came back?" "Burned them. They always burn them. Connie'll get hers back, and she'll burn it, too," was the laconic answer. "YOB wait until she can't eat a meal, and then you'll know she's got It back. Mflny's the time Prudence made me take medicine. Just because I got a sWry back. Prudence thought It was tummyache. The symptoms are a good bit the same." So Carol watched, and sure enough, there came a day when the bright light of hope in ConmVs eyes gave way to the sober sadness of certainty. Her Tight had failed. And she couldn't eat her dinner. Lark kicked Carol's foot under the tvfcfe, and the two exchanged amused "Connie's not weft,**<taJd Lark with a worried air. *8b* isn't eating * thing. You'd better ^ive her a dose of that tonic, Aunt Grace." "I'm not sick," the crushed young author protested. 'Tm just not hungry." "You can see for yourself," insisted Lark. ^ "Look at her. Isn't she sick? Many'8 the long illness Prudence staved off for me by a dose of this magic tonic. You'd better make her take it, father. You can see she's sick." "You'd better take a tittle, Connie," her father decided. "You don't look very well today." And the aspiring young genius was obliged to swallow the bitter dose. After the meal was over, Carol shadowed Connie closely. Sure enough, she headed straight for her own room, and Carol, close outside, heard a crumpling of paper. She opened the door quickly and went in. Connie turned, startled, a guilty red staining her pale face. Carol sat down sociably on the side of the bed, politely ignoring Connie's feeble attempt to keep the crumpled manuscript from her sight. She engaged her sister in a broad-minded and sweeping conversation, adroitly leading It up to the subject of literature. But Connie would not be inveigled into a confession. Then Carol took a wide leap. "Did you get the story back?" Connie gazed at her with an awe that was almost superstitious. "I sure did," she said. "Hard luck," said Carol, in a matterof- fact voice. "Let's see it." Connie hesitated, but finally passed It over. •Til take It to my own room and read It, if you don't mind." More eagerly than she would have liked Connie to know, Carol curled herself upon the bed to read Connie's masterpiece. It was a simple story, but Connie did have a way of saying things, and—Carol laid it down in her lap and stared at it thoughtfully. Then she called Lark. "Look here," she said abruptly. "Read this. It's the masterpiece." She maintained a perfect silence while Lark perused the crumpled manuscript "Is It any good?" pursued Carol. "Why, yes, I think It is. It's just like folks you know. They talk as we do, and—I'm surprised they didn't keep It. I've read 'em a whole lot worse !** "Connie's disappointed," Carol said. "I think she needs a little boost I believe she'll really get there if we kind of crowd her along for a while. We'll just copy It over, and send It out again." "And if it comes back?" "We'll send it again. We'll get the name of every magazine In the library, and give 'em all a chance to start the newest author on the rosy way." "It'll take a lot of stamps." 'That's so. Well, I have half a dollar," admitted Carol reluctantly. After that the weeks passed by. The twins saw finally the shadow of disappointment leaving Connie's face, and another expression of absorption take its place. "She's started another one," Lark said, wise In her personal experience. And when there came the starry rapt gaze once more, they knew that this one, too, had gone to meet its fate But before the second blow fell, the twins gained their victory. They embraced each other feverishly, and kissed the precious check a hundred times, and Insisted that Connie was the cleverest little darling that ever lived on earth. Then, when Connie, with their father and aunt was sitting in unsuspecting quiet, they tripped In upon her. "We have something to read to you," said Carol beaming paternally at Connie. "Listen attentively. Put down your paper, father. It's Important Go on Larkie." "My dear Miss Starr," read Lark. "We are very much pleased with your story,"—Connie sprang suddenly from her chair—"your story, "When the Rule Worked Backwards.' We are placing it in one of our early numbers, and shall be glad at any time to have the pleasure of examining more of your work. We inclose our check for fortyfive dollars. Thanking you, and assuring you of the satisfaction with which we have read your story, I am, "Very cordially yours,'*— T r a , lalalalala!" sang the twins, dancing around the room, waving, one the letter, the other the check. Connie's face was pale, and she caught her head with both hands, laughingly nervously. T m going round," she gasped. "Stop me." Carol promptly pushed her down In a chair and eat upon her lap. "Pretty good—eh, whatf* "Oh, Carol, don't say that. It sounds' awful," cautioned Lark. "What do you think about It, Con nie? Pretty fair boost for * Strug gling young author, don't you think V Family, arise! The Chautauqua salute! We have arrived. Connie is an author. Forty-five dollars!" "But however did you do it?" wondered Connie breathlessly. "Why, we sent it out, and—" "Just once?" "Alas, no—we sent it seven times." Connie laughed excitedly. "Oh, oh! —forty-five dollars! Think of i t Oh, father!" "Where's the story," he asked, a little jealously. "Why didn't you let me look It over, Connie?" "Oh, father, I—couldn't. I—I—I felt shy about it. You don't know how It 18 father, but—we want to keep them hidden. We don't get proud of them until they've been accepted." "Forty-five dollars." Aunt Grace kissed her warmly. "And the letter Is worth a hundred times more to us than that. And when we see the story—" "We'll go thirds on the money, twins," said Connie. The twins looked eager, but conscientious. "No," they said, "it's just a boost, you know. We can't take the money." "Oh, you've got to go thirds. You ought to have it all. I would have burned It." "No, Connie," said Carol, "we know you aren't worth devotion like ours, but we donate it just the same—it's gratis." "All right," said Connie. "I know what you want, anyhow. Come on, auntie, let's go down town. I'm afraid that silver silk mull will be sold before we get there." The twins fell upon her ecstatically. MOh, Connie, you mustn't. We can't allow It. Oh, of course if you insist, dearest, only—" And then they rushed to find hats and gloves for their generous sister and devoted aunt. The second story came back in due time, but with the boost still strong in her memory, and with the fifteen dollars in the bank, Connie bore it bravely and started it traveling once more. Most of the stories never did find a permanent lodging place, and Connie carried an old box to the attic for a repository for her mental fruits that couldn't make friends away from home. But she never despaired again. And the twins, after their own manner, calmly took to themselves full credit for the career which they believed lay not far before her. CHAPTER XIV. A Millionaire's Son. "If Jim doesn't ask for a date for the concert next week, Lark, let's snub him good." "Oh, don't worry. He always asks. You have that same dlscussiou every time there's anything going on. It's just a waste of time." Mr. Starr looked up from his mall. "Complexion and boys with Carol, books and boys with Lark, Connie, If you begin that nonsense you'll get spanked. One member of my family shall rise above It, if I have to do it with force." Connie blushed. The twins broke into open derision. "Connie 1 Oh, yes, Connie's above that nonsense." "Connie's the worst In the family, father, only she's one of those reserved, supercilious souls who doesn't tell everything she knows." "'Nonsense.' I wish father could have heard Lee Hanson last night It would have been a revelation to him. 'Aw, go on, Connie, give us a kiss/ " Connie caught her lips between her teeth. Her face was scarlet "Twins!" "It's a fact, father. He kept us awake. 'Aw, go on, Connie, be good to a fellow.*" "I—I—" began Connie defensively. "Well, we know it. Don't interrupt wh^n we're telling things. You always spoil a good story by cutting in. 'Aw, go on, Connie, go on, now!' And Connie said—" The twins rocked off in a paroxysm of laughter, and Connie flashed a murderous look at them. "Well, I—" "Give us time. Connie. We're coming to that And Connie said, Tm going In now; Tm sleepy.' " "I didn't—father. I didn't r "Well, you might have said a worse thing than that," he told her sadly. "I mean—I—" "She did say It," cried the twins. •* Tm sleepy.' Just like that" "Well, it would make you sick," declared Connie, wrinkling up her nose to express her disgust. "Are boys always like that father T 'Don't ask me," he hedged promptly. "How should I knowr "On, Connie, hew can you! There's father—now, he never cared to Was the girls even In hi* bad sad balmy days, did you, daddy? Oh, no, father was all for the strictly orthodox even In his youth !" Mr. Starr returned precipitately to his mail, and the twins calmly resumed the discussion where It had been interrupted. A little later a quick exclamation from their father mude them turn to him inquiringly. "It's a shame," he said, and again: "What a shame 1" "Why, it's a letter from Andrew Hedges—an old college chum of mine. His son is going West and Andy is sending him around this way to see me and meet my family. He'll be here this afternoon. Isn't it a shame?" "Isn't It lovely?" exclaimed Carol. "We can use him to make Jim Forrest jealous if he doesn't ask for that date?" And she rose up and kissed her father. "Will you kindly get back to your seat, young lady, and not Interfere with my thoughts?" he reproved her sternly but with twinkling eyes. "The trouble is I have to go to Fort Madison on the noon train for that Epworth League convention. I'd like to see that boy. Andy's done well, I guess. Tve always heard so. He's a millionaire, they say." For a long second his daughters gazed at him speechlessly. Then, "A millionaire's son," Lark faltered feebly. "But I have to go to Fort Madison. 1 am on the program tonight. There's the puzzle." "Oh. father, you can leave him to us," volunteered Lark. "We'll be lovely, Just lovely. A millionaire's son! Oh, yes, daddy, you can trust him to us all right" At last he caught the drift of their enthusiasm. "Ah I I see ! That fatal charm. You're sure you'll treat him nicely?" "Oh, yes, father, so sure. A millionaire's son. We've never even seen one yet" "Now, look here, girls, fix the house up and carry it off the best you can. n i be gone until the end of the week, since Tm on for the last night too. Will you do your best?" After his departure. Carol gathered the family forces about her without a moment's delay. "A millionaire's son." she prefaced her remarks, and as Rhe had expected, was rewarded with Immediate attention. "Now, for darling father's salre. we've got to manage this thing the very best we can. We have to make this Andy Hedges, millionaire's son, think we're just about all right, for father's sake. We must have a generous dinner, to start with. We'll plan that a little later. Now I think. Aunt Grace, lovely, it would be nice for you to wear your lavender lace gown, and look delicate, don't you? A chaperoning auntie in poor health is so aristocratic. You rjust wear the lavender satin slippers and have a bottle of cologne to lift frequently to your sensitive nostrils." "Why, Carol, William wouldn't like It!" "Wouldn't like it!" ejaculated the schemer In surprise. "Wouldn't like it! Why wouldn't he like it? Didn't he tell us to create a good impression f Well, this Is i t You'll make a lovely semi-invalid auntie. You must have a faintly perfumed handkerchief to press to your eyes now and then. It Isn't hot enough for you slowly to. wield a graceful fan, but we can get along without it" "But, Carol—" "Think how pleased dear father will be if his old college chum's son Is properly Impressed," Interrupted Carol hurriedly, and proceeded at once with hef plans. (TO BE CONTINUED.) WASH THE KIDNEYS! All the blood in the body passes thru the kidneys every few minutes. This is why the kidneys play such an important role in health or disease. By some mysterious process the kidney selects what ought to come out of the blood and j takes It out If the kidneys are not good-workmen and become congested— poisons accumulate and we suffer from backache, headache, lumbago, rheumatism or gout. The urine is often cloudy, full of sediment; channels often get sore and sleep Is disturbed at night. So it Is that Dr. Pierce, of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute In Buffalo, N.Y.. advises "Washing the Kidneys," by drinking six to eight glasses of water between meals and then If you want to take a harmless medicine that will clear the channels and cure the annoying symptoms, go to your druggist and get Anuric (double strength), for 60c. This "Anuric," which is so many times more potent than llthia—will drive out the uric acid poisons and bathe the kidneys and channels In a soothing liquid. If you desire, write for free medical advice and send sample of water for free examination. Experience has taught Doctor Pierce that "Anuric" is a most powerful agent In dissolving uric acid, as hot water melts sugar. Send Dr. Pierce 10c for trial package. Artificial Wood From Leaves. Artificial wood from dried leaves-- especially those of oak. beech or birch —is a new product, reported .from Austria, using even cheaper waste material than the sawdust already similarly utilized. The leaves are finely ground, mixed with a suitable binder, shaped In molds under a pressure of 350 atmospheres, and dried by heat while still under pressure. The best binder Is stated to be viscose, though this may be strengthened by the addition of a little glue, water-glass, casein, rosin, or other substance. The ground leaves are boiled with soda lye before mixing with the solution of via* cose \ and the viscose may be prepared from a portion of the leaf powder by treating with soda lye and then with carbon disulphide. Coloring matter may be added to the leaf powder or to the pasty mixture. Some filler may be desirable for special purposes, and the materials suitable Include asbestos, infusorial earth, wood flour am' peat flour. Remembered His Arithmetic. Another thing that will puzzle our soldiers Is English money. One time an American who was the worse for drink was traveling In a railway carriage when the guard asked for his ticket. "Got none! Lerame 'lone!" maundered the Yank. The guard took out his ticket schedule. "Five and six, please," he said tersely. "Wharat?" queried the tipsy one. "Five and six, please," repeated the guard. "Eleven," said the Yank. "Now move along to the next boy." Motor Horn In War. Now the motor horn has taken its place in warfare and many a honk may be heard along the firing-line trenches. The horns are used for signaling purposes only. They are placed on the parapet of the trench, facing Inward, and are connected by wires leading to the stations of the commanders. Closing a contact seta them honking all up the line and conveys a signal to the Men, which may be heard above the din of battle. Too Late. "Did you draft that star pitcher for our team?" "No, I didn't draft him. Uncle Sam beat me to him." Conservation of space is a good idea—but a man doesn't have to locate a brewing-vat In his stomach. A man may make a profitable business reputation even by the way he scrapes and washes his barn. our comfortable, heaWre well-to-do Qeigpbor uses IttSTAMT POSTUM instead of coflee.

Buy Goods Now For Next Winter After making very careful study of existing conditions and haying bought several lines of merchandise for nevt winter, we can say to our customers that the prices we now have on winter goods will appear very, very cheap to you when you come to see what the same qualities will cost you another winter. Especially is this true of all goods where] wool or cotten is used in their manufacture. We find much of our hosiery and underwear we are still offering at prices at which we can hardly replace for next season. If you believe we are right regarding the above we solicit your patronage during February. W. J. DANCER & CO. Stockbridge. Mich MAY FORM SKATING CIRCUIT.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, Feb. 28, 1918 No. 9 • i LOSS IN TRENCHES v Mortality Less Than in Any of the Previous Wars. Fhyiletan AaMrts That D1M«M It 8« Thoroughly Eliminated That a eiok Man la a Curiosity. Eeaders with relatives and friends Lat the front should get considerable J comfort from a study of the mortality Jstatistlcs of the armies recently put forward by a well-known physician, London Tit-Bits states. While his figures are not so fayorable as those .given out from Paris indicating that all kinds of permanent losses—killed, captured, missing and disabled—aggregate but 8 per cent per annum of the effective forces engaged, they are nevertheless distinctly encouraging. He finds that about sixty men per 1,000 are being killed and 150 wounded and that a very large proportion of the latter return to the trenches. This, naturally, is not to be compared with the normal death rale in time of peace of men of military age, which is but .eight per 1,000; but it is a vast im* provement upon the showing of any previous war. For one thing, disease has been so thoroughly eliminated that a sick man is a curiosity. The soldier at the front Is certainly less liable to attack than If he were at home. Everything he eats and drinks and wears, almost everything he touches, Is subject to the finest medical supervision of which science is capable, and if any particularly persistent bacillus were to get into his system in spite of all precautions, it would find him in such superb condition that its work would be futile. The high commands have thoroughly Turned the lesson that it does not pay to train a man to be a soldier and then lose him from a cause that is In the least degree preventable. By this same token, experience, both in the protection of the soldier and in the care of the wounded, is stead* lly reducing the death rate as the war progresses. Not only are new tactics constantly being developed which result in loss exposure of the individual soldier, but he is constantly being better equipped with defensive apparatus to minimize the effects of bullet or shrapnel or gas attack. Finally, from many classes of wounds which world have spelled probable death in 1914 and certain crippling In 1915, recovery Is now almost a matter of course. The drafted man who goes as an ordinary soldier, taking his Judgment with nlm and leaving his excessive enthusiasm behind, has every chance of coming back, and in better physical condition than when he left PHILOSOPHY OF Mfi¥ CHANtrE Lonely Bachelor Realizes Mistake In Not Welcoming Both Joy and Sorrow Into His Life. Tit for T a t The subject of the Sunday sermon fit one of the uptown New York churches was the duties of the citizen in time of war. The need of conservation of all foodstuffs was emphasized, and among the persons who gave ear was a small boy, replete in Sunday finery. He sat with his.grandfather, a stout, rather red-faced man, who ^was obviously devoted to the youngster. "And at this time," said the clergyman, in the course of his sermon, "it is the small sacrifice whlcE means so much to the good of the nation generally. There is a shortage of sugar. Well. let us eat less candy, for instance." The stout man nudged his grandson. "It is time for sober, clear-headed action on the part of all," continued the clergyman; "and when there are so many war needs for alcohol, why, for instance, should any man now partake of spirituous liquors?" Then the small boy nudged his grandfather. Search for Oil In Britain. Certain eminent American geolop0ftr t i t house of commons was told Jajato^gtld that it is well worth while rf^^^MMMF;a considerable sum of money ~£ ! • e£&l£ng for possible petroleum de- *-^t5oslts In Great Britain, according to a London correspondent. The speaker, a spokesman for the board of trade, .added: "It is Impossible to exaggerate the Importance of finding oil in this country. TCe cannot yet say that it is here, but it ts certainly wortit looking fori- "Oil It almost more important at this moment Iban anything else. Yon may have mtflji, munitions and* money, but If you hat* no oil yon are without the ^greatest motive power we are using." I read a story in a current magazine today. And after I read a certain part Of It I laid the magazine down, 'and I too, looked far away. But I looked past the printed page into a damp, dimly lighted trolley car—and into the heart of my friead who feared to grasp a vision, Margaret. B. S'ang- Bter writes in the Christian Herald. In the story a wealthy old bachelor was telling his reason for never having married. "I began to wonder," he said, 'Svhether there was any advantage in marrying at all. I saw a lot of people who were wretchedly unhappy together, and even more wretched after they had dissolved their matrimonial ties. I discovered that marriage usually meant children, anxiety, sickness and death. I took counsel of my fears. Why fall in love and marry If by doing so I was going to expose myself to the arrows of outrageous fortune? My parents were both dead. Sorrow couldn't touch me. Why Invite unhapplness? If I had no family I should have- only myself to look out for—to worry about—and when I died nobody would suffer agonies of bereavement on my account. So I shut myself up in my shell and built an iron wall around my affections to keep out sorrow. "I was a fool! What wouldn't I give now to have had sorrow 1 Many's the time I've envied my friend with a dead child. Pain and Joy go hand in hand. Deaden your capacity for one and you lose the other. Today I'd rather have had a year or so with a woman I had loved and have lost her than to be what I am—a lonely, childless, wifeless, friendless old man." I read ( the paragraph over. And then I took it to a man I know—I call him sometimes, to myself, the philosopher. "I think," he told me, "that the reasoning is quite right I "There's an old proverb that covers the whole thing. I think. "Tis better, to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all!' The word 'love' isn't the only one that will fit into that proverb. You can put 'live' in place of love, or 'known' or 'felt!' "I think," I said, "that you're right. 'Tis better," I mused, "to have lived, to have known, to have loved—and lost—" "You know," said the philosopher, "that every chance isn't a losing chance. Some people live and know find feel and love without losing T nlcally called) to spell out i "England expects that every man will do his duty." Woman In India Need Eduoatlon. At a meeting of the Woman's Indian Study association, Miss Boyd, secretary in England tor the Woman's University settlement, Bombay, said that only one per cent of Indian women could read. She declared the great need was for the Indian girls to take up the profession of medicine. It had been stated by an authority that an Indian woman in child birth had less chance than a foldler on the battlefield. Contradictory Evidence. "There is one thing curious about the minutes of a meeting." "What is that?" "They are generally affairs of moment" High Individual Morale. The reason why morale is necessary In tftnes of peace as well as in war is that the morale of no army can be higher than the Individual morale of the men, declares San Antonio Light Therefore the very best soldiers are those recruited from civil life who have every day morale—the men who do things, who stand fearlessly for what they believe to be right, who are undismayed by opposition and apparent defeat, and who accept life's tribulations calmly, patiently and with fortitude. Men of that stripe cannot be stampeded or confused in military affairs, once they have been trained as soldiers, just as in every-day life they cannot be kept down by circumstances. They are individually invincible and hence when organized into an army, they are militarily invincible. Therefore when you read of an army or a military unit with a high morale you know that the men in the ranks and the officers over them are men of strong, dominant courage who meet death calmly in the discharge of their military duty and who cannot be routed nor overawed by the enemy, but must be vanquished, if at all, by fighting. Warren Adelbert Carr. Warren Adelbert Carr was born in the Township of Putnam Oct. 27, 1854, the second son of Darwin and Caroline Carr. His early education was acquired in he schools of the village of Pinckney. On July 5, 1874 he was united in marriage to Sarah A. Johnson. To this union were born four children, Ernest t A. and Frances D. of Detroit, Roger J. of Pinckney and Mrs. Jas. A. Green of Alma. Mr. Carr has held the office of the Justice of the Peace of the Township of Putnam for the past twentyfive years and that of Village Attorney for the Village of Pinckney for the past twenty years. His unerring judgement and sterling buisness qualities proved him a man of marked ability. Although often hampered by illness Mr. Carr was a wise and willing counselor to all who came to him "for advise and assistance. His loss will be keenly felt in this community where he lived all his life arid enjoyed the confidence and respect of all who knew him. He passed away at his home in Pinckney, Febuary 14, 1918 at the age of 03 years 3 months and 17 days surrounded by his loving wife and four devoted children who with six grandchildren, two brothers and a sister remain to mourn their loss.

Further, the first president set an example which is being followed today in some sections of the country with all the acclaim of something new. The nrarkets which are being opened for the purpose of bringing the farm products to the consumer, to the exclusion of t h e middleman, are by no means a twentieth century invention. Most people don't know that George Washington essayed truck gardening and t h e maintenance of a market wagon, to the no synnll blessing but the social dismay, of some Alexandrians, but it is a fact. We rend so much of the "groaning board," steaming joints of luscious fare of all sorts In the days of colonial plenty, that we think the period a time of feasting and unlimited abundance, and recall but few of the hardships, of which there were many. It w a s to provide variety and to make h i s neighbors more satisfied with their l o t . t h a t Washington sent his market wagon Just once in so often to Alexa n d r i a loaded" with the products of the farmyard and the field of Mount Vernon. History does not tell us w h e t h e r Washington reached the hearts of his associates more speedily by the short route of their stomachs, but t h e r e is no doubt that his wise forethought brought him both gratit u d e and substantial reward. The Cart Goes to Town. Old Parson Weems, who has chatted so glibly about life in Adexandria, tells us that there w a s a time there when the town had more reason to boast of Its beauty than Its capacity to gladden the inner man. To quote that reverend chronicler : T h e neighborhood of Belle Haven (such was Alexandria's early name) was not n d e s e r t ; on the contrary, it was in many places a garden spot abounding with luxuries. But its inhabitants, the wealthy, were not wise. By the successful culture of tobacco they had money. And having filled ttteir coach houses with gilt carriages flnrt t n e l r d i n i n * r ° ° m s w l t h gilt glasses, they began to look down upon the poorer sort and to talk about families. Of course it would never do for such people to run market carts 1 Hence the poor Belle Havenitea, though embosomed in plenty, were often In danger of gnawing their nails. And unless they could cater a lamb from some gtwd-natnred •cracker; or a leash of chickens irom the Sunday negroes, were obliged to sit down with long face* to a hnlf-graced dinner of satt meat and journey cake. *TMe was the order of the day, A. D. •Q& when Washington, just married to t h e wealthy young widow Custts, fc«d settled at Mount Vernon, nine Bidet below Belle Haven. The unpWMftt attuftttee of the families at that place soon reached his ears. To a man of his character, with too much spirit to follow a bad example when lie had the power to set a good one, and too much wit to look for happiness anywhere but In his own bosom, it could not long be questionable what part he had to act. "A market cart was instantly constructed ami regularly three times' a week seat off to Belle Haven filled with nice roasters, kidney-covered lamb and veal, green geese, fat ducks and gobblers, chickens by the basket, fresh butter, new-laid eggs, vegetables and fruit of all sorts. Country gentlemen dining with their friends in town very soon remarked the welcome change in diet. 'Bless us all !' exclaimed they, 'what's the meaning of this? You invite us to family fare : ed tl and hero you have given us a lord I mayor's feast.' 'Yea,' replied the others, 'thank (}od for sending a Colonel 1 Washington into our neighborhood.' "The cat was thus let out of the ' hag, to the extreme mortification of | the 'Little Great ones,' that Colonel Washington should ever have run a ! market cart." Famous Carlyle House. The market where Washington sent his farm products lay right in the heart of Alexandria and upon a square about which stood some of the town's most noted residences and landmarks. Among these w a s the Carlyle house, and despite the passage of time and the physical changes wrought in that quaint Virginia city, this historic home survives intact today. The Carlyle house is intimately Identified with Washington's career and particularly with the very beginning of his military calling. As the story goes, the bricks for the building were Imported and so, too, the stone of which it was built in 1732. John S. Carlyle utilized for part of the foundation a portion of an old fort, which many years earlier had stood guard against the Indians for the protection of English t r a d e r s on Hunting Creek, as the place was then known. The barracks of that advance post of civilization became the cellar of the Carlyle house, and there in its cool shadows was stored the mellow wine t h a t tickled t h e palates of those days. From the heavy beams overhead hung pendant the luscious hams for which Virginia is still noted. Another part of the old fort supports the plaza at the r e a r of the house upon which the main hallway ends. It was there, of summer evenings, that the Carl vies and their guests gathered, and it was there the men discussed the problems of the hour over a heartsome glass amid the soothing smoke of the fragrant Oronoko. Then, the gardens ran down to the river's bank and overlooked the docks at which the trading craft were moored—vessels that came from over the seas to barter the silks and riches of the far East, the products of Europe, and the tropic abundance of the West Indies in return for the famous tobacco with which Alexandria's one great waresentimental interest, for It was at the foot of the beautiful staircase of solid mahogany that Washington awaited the coming of lovely Sally Fairfax upon a certain evening, and, while escorting her to the ballroom, offered that lady his heart and was refused. On the opposite side of this same hall Is the "blue and white room," which was John Carlyle's particular retreat or sanctum. That room is of especial Interest to us as a nation, for it was there that Washington received his commission as a member of General Braddock's staff In 175;"). What Washington learned upon that disastrous campaign against the Indians and with British soldiers taught him much which later he put to good service In behalf of his country. Braddock Took Possession. When. Braddock arrived he accepted the proffered hospitality of John Carlyle and established headquarters there. The little blue and white room became the miIItar;: council chamber, and it was there that the plans were made for the campaign. Washington's previous experience as a leader of Virginia troops against the savages made him nil the more welcome at the conferences, and his keen Judgment and practical advice earned for him Braddock's admiration and won for him his colonelcy upon the general's staff. We who count our dollars and m a k e our purchases in hard coin but little realize the part the "vile weed" played in all commercial transactions In Virginia 150 years ago. The fragrant Oronoko tobacco had a fame which reached to Europe, and this was the common medium of exchange. The incense of this leaf, as it were, bought the English bricks with which old Christ church In Alexandria w a s built in 1773. The church was designed, so it has been said, by one J a m e s Wren, reputed to have been a relative of the architect of London's famous St. Paul's. Washington worshiped at Christ church. History tells us that It was within the shadow of t h a t sacred structure, after services one Sunday morning in the summer of 1774, that he earnestly advocated t h e renunciation of allegiance to the king of England. Always deliberate and intensely devout, one can gather something of the spell which his words must have cast upon his fellow churchmen upon that occasion. There are many houses In Alexandria today that were in their prime when Washington was in their midst and closely identified with them not only socially but officially intermittently during his youth and Just prior to his death. A N D N O W T H E Y ARE COOKING TOBACCO TO MAKE IT BETTER CURIOUS CONDENSATIONS For a good many years T h e American Tobacco Company have been conducting a scries of experiments ^having aa their object the improvement of smoking tobaccos. And it is interesting to know that one of the greatest of their discoveries was one of the simplest, and that was, that cooking or toasting tobacco improved it in every way, just as cooking most foods improves them. They took a real Burley tobacco, grown In this country; toasted it as you would toast bread; moistened it to replace the natural moisture driven off by toasting; made it into cigarettes, called them "LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette * and offered them to the public The result has been the greatest demand ever created for any tobacco product in a similar length of time. The change produced by toasting is not only most wholesome, but the flavor is greatly improved, just as cooking improves meat, for example.—Adv- The Cause of Hatred.

T h e kaiser's greatest ally is whisky I This 1 say, because whatever saps the strength of America, lowers its efficiency, and steals its wholesome food is manifestly pluying into the h;md.s of America's enemy. Women may economize in the kitchen, cun the beans and cabbage, save the crusts, and skimp the butter, bi.it one saloon will waste more human energy over the bar in one day than they will conserve in a week. Why plant your front lawns in potatoes and raise carrots instead of geraniums in your window g a r d e n ; why eat corn pone instead of white bread, and fried rice for steak, and all t h a t sort of thing, when every pound of food you are saving to make men strong ts doubly duplicated by the still, which flows to make men weak? Every glass of booze that passes over the mahogan\ bar la the drinking place does as much damage to the manhood of the nation as a ten-inch shell fired from one of the kaiser's rtrupps. For whisky never did any good and never will do any good. Every ounce of it means lowering life's efficiency. It makes the muscle flabby. It obscures the brain. It lets down the moral force. Every drop of whisky moans so much less honesty, loyal courage, and Intelligence. T h e kaiser could mak« no shrewder move than to subsidize every grog shop In America, to keep on at full blast, ladling out the stuff t h a t takes the stamina out of this great people. Nobody, no nation, can conquer America. But America can rot. She can guzzle her beloved poison and sink to maudlin weakness, while she prates of "personal liberty," and slobbers in congress and out, over the vested rights of poison sellers. General O'Ryan in a recent letter to his fellow soldiers, used this lang u a g e : "Our job is to whip the enemy hard and with the least loss to ourselves. In training our military machines to do this we must eliminate back-lash, rattles, and useless loads. We must have every part healthy, strong, and dependa b l e ; no part defective, diseased, or obsolete. "This cannot be if we are to permit booze In any form in our military machine. Alcohol, whether you call It beer, wine, whisky, or by any other name, Is a breeder of Inefficiency. While it affects men differently, the results are the same, In t h a t all affected by It cease for the time to be normal. Some become forgetful, others quarrelsome. Some become noisy, some get sick, some get sleepy; others have their passions greatly stimulated. When you stop to consider the thousands to a^djvislou, do you not see how vital to "efficiency is the elimination of liquor? If one officer or man is permitted to use liquor, then others will claim the right to do so. How can a division of troops be ever ready —ever up on the bit to drive ahead or to thrust back the enemy's drive— if through the presence of this Insidious evil some soldiers forget their ordeVs, or become norty when silence Is essential, fall asleep when every faculty should be alert, or absent from their posts?"

Scarcely 100,000,000 bushels of wheat are available to be sent to the allies overseas before the crop harvest. Upon the efforts of the United States and Canada rests the burden of supply. Every Available Tillable lore Must Contribute; Every Available Farmer and Farm Hand Must Assist Western Canada has an enormous acreage to be seeded, but man power is short, and an appeal to the United States allies is for more men for seeding operation. Canada's Wheat Production Last Year was 225,000,000 Bushels; the Demand From Canada Alone for 1918 Is 400,000,000 Bushels To secure this she must have assistance. She has the land but needs the men. The Government of the United States wants every man who can effectively help, to do farm work this year. It wants the land in the United States developed first of course; but it also wants to help Canada. Whenever we find a man we can spare to Canada's fields after ours are supplied, we want to direct him there. Apply to our Employment Service, and we will tell you where you can best serve the combined interests. Western Canada's help will be required not later than April Sth.

The Forests of Porto Rico. According to a publication of the United States forest service the once Immense virgin forests of Porto Hico have been laid waste t o a deplorable extent, says the Scientific American. The total wooded area now amounts to about 20 per cent of the area of the Island, but not more than two-fifths of this is now under forest capable of yielding a wood product other than charcoal and fuel wood. The area of high forest Is hardly 2 per cent of the total land area. Reforesting is a great need of the country, both for the sake of the water supply a n d to provide timber and fuel.

It is believed that there on,ce stood at Old Windsor the palace of Edward the Confessor, but although several Saxon urns have been excavated here from time to time the actual position of the palace has never been decided. Tlghe and Davis, In their "Annals of Windsor," say that Old Windsor was probably selected by the Saxon kings as a residence for tire same reason as It was subsequently repurchased by William the Conqueror, on account of Its convenience for hunting in the forest. The lands of Windsor, granted by Edward the Confessor and exchanged ! by the abbot of Westminster with William, appear to have hnd reference to Old Windsor, and did not include the site of the present town or castle.

WAGE DISPUTE SETTLED LATER Labor Heads Decide to Appeal to President to Settle Difference* W i t h 8hipyard Employers. New York - William L. Hutcheson, general president of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters of America, Sunday called off the strike in the shipyards at the port of New York and Other eastern points, after receiving a telegram from President Wilson. The president wired Hutcheson that he could see nothing to be gained by conferring with him personally about the strike of shipyard carpenters until he" has accepted and acted on the principle that in the present circumstances of the nation no body of men has the right to strike until every other method of adjustment has been tried to the limit. "If you do not act on this principle," said the president's message, "you are undoubtedly giving aid and comfort to the enemy, whatever may be your own conscious purpose." Hutcheson subsequently sent messages to all of the brotherhood representatives that could be reached Sunday night instructing them to send word out to the men to report at their places for work Monday morning. There were more than 6,000 men out who returned immediately at President Hutcheson's order. The message that was received from President Wilson Sunday afternoon deeply impressed labor leaders here. They held a long conference at which all phases of the situation were discussed. The order to call off the strke waB Issued after it was decided to take the matter of adjustment of their differences with shipyard employers up directly with President Wilson. Labor leaders took the appeal of the president more as an indictment charging them with being unpatriotic, union men explained here. They said that union men would work if need,be, beside non-union men until such time as their difficulties may be adjusted. It was explained that the order to return was issued as a response to the president's appeal, and as an evidence of their confidence in him rather than any "giving up the fight." DETROIT PHONE RATES RAISED Railroad Commission Authorizes Bell Company to Install Meters. Detroit—The state railroad commission last Saturday handed down a decision that will enrich the Michigan State Telephone company $1,000,000 a year through increased rates and metered service. The metered service is to be install ed by August 1, 1920; increased rates will take effect March 18, 1918. "Interim rates," authorized by the commission's order, increase the cost of each business telephone $12 a year; one-party residence telephones $6 a year, and limit four-party residence telephones to 60 outgoing calls a month. The decision of the commission grants practically all of the demands of the company. The company, claiming a valuation of about $13,000,000, had this claim reduced to $11,000,000 by the commission. The city claimed the basis on which the deficit is figured should be $8,000,000. City officials declare that they willtight the increase to the last ditch.

GIVE SUPPORT TO UKRAINE "No War, But No Peace" Plan of Trotzky Rejected at Conference of Teuton Military Leaders. London—Germany has resolved to renew military activities against northern Russia. This decision was reached at a con. ference at imperial headquarters, apecial dispatches from Holland say. The conference was attended by Emperor William, Chancellor von Hertling, Field Marshal von Hinder.- burg, General von Ludendorff, Foreign Secretary von Kuehlmann and others. The "no war, but no peace" plan of Leon Trotzky, the Bolshevik foreign minister, was rejected at the conference, according to the Amsterdam correspondent of the Daily Express, and as Trotzky does not want peace he will get war. Invasion of Russia will continue, at any rate until Petrograd is occupied by German troops. The Germans take the view that Trotzky's declaration, although it did not end the war, automatically ended the armistice, which expired February 14. The Germans now have a free hand, and while it does not mean an immediate invasion towards Petrograd, it is certain that support will be given the Ukraine. The Germans are carrying on an active propaganda, with a view to splitting up Russia and posing as a protector to the new states. It is believed that the Bolshevik! are now moving troops against the Ukraine*. London—Germany has suddenly found herself involved in a maze of difficulties on the eastern front and in danger of losing all t&e large benefits she was calmly preparing to realize from her peace with the Ukraine.

Washington.—Reduction in the retell prices of both anthracite and bituminous coal is expected by the fuel administration as the result of a decision to eliminate jobbers' commissions after next April 1. Under the new regulations, retail dealers will obtain coal at the same price wnether purchasing directlv from the mine or through middlemen. The mine price will be increased slightly to provide for the operators" added expense, but the advance will not be equal to the commission no-v allowed the jobber. Elimination of jobbers' commissions, the tuel administration announced, v.aa necessary in order to wipe out a systematise*! form of profiteering which has increased the cost of fuel to 4he consumers.

The Sunday Observer's military correspondent says that since General Robertson's return from Versailles, "it has been an open secret, that though as a good soldier he acquiesced in decisions of the war council after they had been adopted, he did not approve of them and had he remained in offVce he would have been in the disagreeable position of having to give effect to a procedure with which he is not in sympathy." BABIES DIE IN NUNNERY FIRE Loss of Life Probaby W i l l Reach 75— Number of Bodies Recovered. Montreal—Probably 75 children lost their lives in a fire that destroyed the Grey nunnery, one of the largest and oldest in eastern Canada. A number of charred bodies have been recovered from the ruins. The fire, the cauBe of which is attributed to defective electric wiring, tary benefit—the Polish army—bids fair to be turned against them. Reports in the German newspapers which express dismay and alarm over the Polish situation, indicate that the Polish legations and the Polish soldiers now are on the side of the Poles in embitterment against the Germans. The situation has grown so serious that the German military are patrolling the streets in Warsaw. Austria-Hungary is particularly involved in the difficulties because of the prominent part which it was expected she would play in the future government of Poland. The Polish elements and those sympathizing with them in the dual monarchy are up in arms over the situation and further internal troubles are threatened.

"Connie must be a precocious younger sister, all in white—she must come in lute with a tennis racquet, as though fihe had just returned from a game. That win be otugey, won't it? Lark must be the sweet young duughter of the house. She must wear her silver mull, her gray slippers, and—" "What are you going to wear?" "Who, me? Oh, I have other plans for myself." Carol looked rather uneasily at her auut. "It'll come to me a little later." "Yes, indeed," said Connie. "Carol has something extra up her sleeve. She's had the millionaire's son In her mind's eye ever since father introduced his pocketbook into the conversation," Carol was unabashed. "My interest 1s solely from a family viewpoint. I fcave no ulterior motive." Her eyes sparkled eagerly. "You know, auntie darling—" "Now, Carol, don't you suggest anything—" "Oh, no indeed, dearest, how could you think of such a thing?" disclaimed Carol instantly. "It's such a very tiny thing, but it will mean a whole lot on the general impression of a millionaire's son. We've simply got to have a maid! To open the door, and courtesy, and take his hat, and serve the dinner, and— He's used to it, you know, and If w- haven't one' he'll go back to Cleveland and say, "Ah, bah Jove, I had to hang up my own hat, don't you know?" "That's supposed to be English, but I don't believe it. Anyhow, it isn't Cleveland," said Connie flatly. "Well, he'd think we were awfully cheap and hard up, and Andy Hedges, Sr., would pity father, and maybe send him ten dollars, and—no, we've got to have a maid !" "We might get Mamie Sickey," suggested Lark. "She's so ugly." "Or Fay Greer," interposed Aunt Grace. "She'd spill the soup." "Then there's nobody but Ada Lone," decided Connie. "She hasn't anything fit to wear," objected Carol. "Of whom were you thinking. Carol?" asked her aunt, moving uneasily in her chair. Carol flung herself at her aunt's knees. "Me!" she cried. "As usual," Connie ejaculated dryly. "Oh, Carol," walled Lark, "we can't think of things to talk about when you aren't there to keep us stirred up." "I'm beginning to see daylight," said Connie. She looked speculatively at Lark. "Well, It's not half bad, Carol, and I apologize." "Don't you think it is a glorious idea, Connie?" cried Carol rapturously. "Yes, I think it is." Carol caught her sister's hand. Here was an ally worth having. "You know how sensible Connie is, auntie. She sees how utterly preposterous it would be to think of entertaining a millionaire's son without a mnld." "You're too pretty," protested Lark. "He'd try to kiss you." "'Oh, no, sir, oh, please, sir,'" simpered Carol, with an adorable curtesy, " 'you'd better wait for the ladies, sir.'" "Oh, Carol, I think you're awful," said their aunt, unhappily. "I know your father won't like it." "Lite it? He'll love it. Won't he, Connie?" "Well, rm not sure he'll be crazy about It, but it'll be all over when he gets home," said Connie. "And you're very much in favor of it, aren't you, Connie previousr "But what's tfce i d e a T mourned Lark. "What's the sense in it? Father said to ** good to him, and you know I can't think of thirgs to say to a millionaire's son. Oh, Carol, don't be so mean.*' But Carol stood firm, and the others yielded to her persuasions. Even Aunt Grace allowed her qualms to be quieted and entered into her part as seml-lnva- Hd auntie with genuine lest. At three they were all arrayed, ready for the presentation. They assembled socially In the parlor, the dainty maid ready to fly to her post at a second's warning. At four o'clock, they were a little fagged and near the point of ex* asperation, but they still held their characters admirably. At half past four a telegram message was phoned out from the station. •Delayed in coming. Will write you later. Very sorry. Andy Hedges, Jr." Only the absolute lodicrousness of tt saved Carol from a rage. She looked from the girlish Iannis girl to the attniir> «lld auntie, and then to the sweet young daughter of the boose, and b u n t ont laughing. The others, though tired, nervosa and d^appojnted, Joined her merrily, and the vexation was swept away. The next morning, Aunt Grace went as usual to the all-duy meeting of the Ladies' Aid In the church parlors. Carol and Lark, with a light lunch, went out for a few hours of springtime happiness beside the creek two inilea from town. "We'll come back right after luncheon," Carol promised, "so if Andy the Second should come, we'll be on hand." "Oh, he won't come today." "Well, he just better get here before father comes home. I know father will like our plan after It's over, but I also know he'll veto it if he gets home in time. Wish you could go with us, Connie." "Thanks. But I've got to sew on forty buttons. And—if I pick the cherries on the little tree, will you make a pie for dinner?" "Yes. If I'm too tired Larkie will. Do pick them, Con, the birds have had more than their share now." After her sisters had disappeared, Connie considered the day's program. "I'll pick the cherries while it's cool. Then I'll sew on the buttons. Then I'll call on the Piersons, and they'll probably invite me to stay for luncheon." And she went upstairs to don a garment suitable for cherry-tree service, from a rag bag In the closet at the head of the stairs, she resurrected some remains of last summer's apparel. First she put on a blue calico, but the skirt was so badly torn in places that It proved insufficiently protecting. Further search brought to light another skirt, pink, In a still worse state of delapldatlon. However, since the holes did not occur simultaneously in the two garments, by wearing both she was amply covered. For a waist she wore a red crepe dressing sacque, and about her hair she tied a broad, ragged ribbon of red to protect the soft waves from the ruthless twigs. She looked at herself in the mirror. Nothing daunted by the sight of her own unslghtllness, she took a bucket and went Into the back yard. Gingerly she climbed into the tree, gingerly because Connie was not fond of scratches on her anatomy, and then began her task. It was a glorious morning. The birds, frightened away by the living scare-crow in the tree, perched in other, cherryless trees around her and burst into derisive song. And Connie, light-hearted, free from care, in love with the whole wide world, sang, too, pausing only now and then to thrust a ripe cherry between her teeth. She did not hear the prolonged ringing of the front door bell. She did not uoserve the young man in the most immaculate of white spring suits who came Inquiringly around the house. But when the chattering of a saucy robin became annoying, she flung a cherry at him crossly. "Oh, chase yourself!" she cried. And nearly fell from her perch In dismay when a low voice from beneath said pleasantly: "I beg your pardon l Miss Starr?" Connie swallowed hard, to get the last*cherry and the mortification out of her throat. "Yes," she said, noting the immaculate white spring suit, and the handsome shoes, and the costly panama held so lightly in his hand. She knew the panama was costly because they had wanted to buy one for her father's birthday, but decided not to. "I am Andrew Hedges," he explained, smiling sociably. Connie wilted completely at t h a t "Good night," she muttered with a vanishing mental picture of their lovely preparations the day previous, **I— mean good morning. I'm so glad to meet you. You—you're later, a r e n t you? I mean, aren't you ahead of yourself? At least, you didn't write, did you?" "No, I was not detained so long as I had anticipated, so I came right on. But Pm afraid Tm Inconveniencing you." "Oh, not a bit, Tm quite comfortable," she assured him. "Auntie is gone Just now, and the twins are sway, too, but they'll all be back presently." She looked longingly at the house, •Til have to come down, I suppose.'* "Let me help you," he offered eagerly. Connie In the incongruous dothea, with the little curls straying beneath the ragged ribbon, and with stains of cherry on her lips, looked more presentable than Connie knew. "Oh, I—" she hesitated, flashing. "Mr. Hedges,*' she cried.imploringly, "will you Just go around the corner until I get down. I look fearful." "Not a bit of It** he said. "Let me take the cherries." Connie helplessly passed them down to atta, and saw him carefully depositing them onNthe ground. "Jast give sae yonr hand. And what could Connie do? She couldn't sternly order a millionaire's son to mosy around the house aud mind his own business until she got some decent clothes on, though that was what she yeurned to do. Instead she held out a slender hand, grimy and red, with a few ugly scratches here aud there, and allowed herself to be helped ignomlnlously out from the sheltering branches into the garish light of day. She looked at blm reproachfully. He never so much as smiled. "Laugh If you like," she said bitterly. "I looked In the mirror. I know ull about It." "Run along," he said, "but don't be gone long, will you? Can you trust me with the cherries?" Connie walked Into the house with great decorum, afraid the ragged skirts might swing revealingly, but the young man bent over the cherries while she made her escape. It was another Connie who appeared a little later, a typical tennis girl, all In white from the velvet band in her hair to the canvas shoes on her dainty feet. She held out tlfe slender hand, no longer grimy and stained, but its whiteness still marred with sorry scratches. "I am glad to see you," she said gracefully, "though I can only pray you won't carry a mental picture of me very long." "I'm afraid I will, though," he said teaslngly. "Then please don't paint me verbally for my sisters' ears; they are always so clever where I am concerned. It Is too bad they are out. You'll stay for luncheon with me, won't you? I'm all alone—we'll have it In the yard." "It sounds tempting, but—perhaps I had better come again later In the afternoon." "You may do that, too," said Connie. "But since you are here, I'm afraid I must Insist that you help amuse me." And she added ruefully, "Since I have done so well amusing you this morning." "Why. he's Just like anybody else," she was thinking with relief. "It's no trouble to talk to him, at all. He's nice In spite of the millions." He stayed for luncheon, he even helped carry the folding table out beneath the cherry tree, and trotted docilely back and forth with plates and glasses, as Connie decreed. It was not until they were at luncheon that the grand Idea visited Connie. B^ack to her remembrance flashed the thousand witty sallies of Carol and Lark, the hundreds of times she had suffered at their hands. And for the first time In her life, she saw a clear way of getting even. And a millionaire's son ! Never was such a revenge fairly crying to be perpetrated. "Will you do something for me, Mr. Hedges?" she asked. Connie was only sixteen, but something that Is born in woman told her to lower her eyes shyly, and then look up at him quickly beneath her lashes. And she saw In a flash the ruse worked. Then she told him softly, very prettily. "But won't she dislike me, If I do?" he asked. "No, she won't," said Connie. "We're a family of good laughers. ' W e enjoy a Joke nearly as much when it's on us, as when we are on top." So It was arranged, and shortly after luncheon the young man In the immaculate spring suit took his departure. Then Connie summoned her aunt by phone, and told her she must hasten home to help "get ready for the millionaire's son." It was after two when the twins arrived, and Connie and their aunt hurried them so violently that they hadn't time to ask how Connie got her information. H e had arrived l A millionaire's s o n ! Instantly their enthusiasm returned to them. The cushions on the couch were carefully orranged for.the reclining of the semMnvalid s u n t who, with the sweet young daughter of the house, wag upstairs waiting to be summoned. Connie, with the tennis racquet was in the shed, waiting to arrive theatrically. Carol, In her trim black gown with a white cap and apron, was s dream. And when he came she ushered him in, courtesylng in a way known only on the stage, and took bis hat and stick, and said softly: *Yes, sir—please come In, sir—1*11 call the ladles.** She knew she was bewitching, of course, since she had done tt on purpose, and she lifted her eyes Just far enough beneath the lashes to give the properly coquettish affect. H e caught bar hand, and drew her slowly toward him, admiration In hit eyes, bnt trepidation in his heart, aa he followed Connie's coaching. Bat Carol was panicstricken, she broke away from him roughly and ran npatalra, forgetting her carefully rehearsed : "Oh, no, sir— oh, please, sir—you'd better wait for the ladles." But once out of reach she regained her composure. The semi-invalid aunt trailed down the stairs, closely followed by the attentive muld to arrange her cha'r and udjuui the silken shawl. Mr. Hedges introduced himself, feeling horribly foolish in the presence of the lq.vely serving girl, and wishing she would take herself off. But she lingered effectively, whispering softly: "Shall I lower the window, madame? Is it too cool? Your bottle, tnudaine !" And the guest rubbed his hand swiftly across his face to hide the slight twitching of his lips. Then the model maid disappeared, and presently the sweet daughter of the house, charming in the gray silk mull and satin slippers, appeared, smiling, talking, full of vivacity and life. And after a while the dashing tennis girl strolled in, smiling Inscrutably Into the eyes that turned so quizzically toward her. For a time all went well. The chaperoning' aunt occasionally lifted a dainty cologne bottle to her sensitive nostrils, and the daughter of the house curried out her girlish vivacity to the point of utter weariness. Connie said little, but her soul expanded with the foretaste of triumph. "Dinner Is served, mudume," said the soft voice at the door, and they all walked out sedately. Carol adjusted the invalid auntie's shawl once more, and was ready to go to the kitchen when a quiet: "Won't Miss Carol sit down with us?" made her stop dead in h°r trackn. He had pulled a chair from the corner up to the table for her, and she dropped Into It. She put her elbows on the table, and leaning her dainty chin in her hands, gazed thoughtfully at Connie, whose eyes were bright with the fires of victory. "Ah, Connie, I have hopes of you yet—you are Improving," she said gently. "Will you run out to the kitchen and bring me a bowl of soup, my child?" And 'hen came laughter, full and free—and in the midst of it Carol looked up, wiping her eyes, and said : "I'm sorry now I didn't let you kiss me, Just to shock father!" But the visit was a great success. flven Mr. Starr realized that. The millionaire's son remained in Mount Mark four days, the cynosure of all eyes, for as Carol said, "What's the use of bothering with a millionaire's son if you can't brag about him?" And his devotion to his father's college chum was such that he wrote to him regularly for a long time after, and came westward now and again to renew the friendship so auspiciously begun. "But you can't call him a problem, father," said Carol keenly. "They aren't problematic until they discriminate. And he doesn't. He's as fond of Connie's conscience as he is 4f my complexion, as far as I can see." She rubbed her velvet skin regretfu'ly. She had two pimples yesterday and he never even noticed them. The she leaned forward and smiled. "Father, you keep an eye on Connie. There'? something In there that we aren't on to yet." And with this cryptic rermirk, Carol turned her attention to a small Jar of cold cream the druggist had given her to sample. CHAPTER XV. The Twins Have a Proposal. It was half past three on a delightful summer afternoon. The twine stood at the gate with two hatless youths, performing what seemed to be the serious operation of separating their various tennis rackets and shoes from the conglomerate Jumble. Finally, laughing and calling hack over their shoulders, they sauntered lazily up the walk toward the house, and the young men set off in the direction from which they had come. They were hard* ly out of hearing distance when the front door opened, and Aunt Grac* beckoned hurriedly to the twins. "Come on, quick," she said. "Where in the world have you been all day? Did you have any luncheon? Mrs. Forrest and Jim were here, and they invited you to go home with them for a week in the country. I said I knew you'd want to go, and they promised to come for you at four, but I couldn'1 find any place. I suppose it Is tor late now. It's—" "A week!" "At Forrests'?" "Come on. Lark, sure we have time enough. W e l l be ready in fifteen mUw utes." "Come on np. Auntie; we'll tell yoaj where we've been." The twins flew up the stairs, thelf aunt as close behind as she deemed safe. Inside their own room they promptly and ungracefully kicked off their loose pumps, tossed their tennis shoes and racquets on the bed. snd began tugging at the cords of the** middy blouses.

It has been an awful trial for me here, but I have learned that Ood will meet every human need and I havB had so many demonstrations of bis loving kindnees that I am satisfied to stay over here until this terrible wax is ended. The weather here has not been very coW and while we have had lots of snow it is all gone now and the fields are as green as at home in April. You speak of your Red Cross work and I want to say that it is the grandeat thing you can do to help your country win the war. I handled the Red Cross supplies for this hospital for a long time and can truthfully say that were it not for the many articles of clothing and hospital supplies that are furnished from this source many a poor Boldier would lack comfort. Regular U. S. supplies are here in abundance, but it is tha home made things that bring real comfort to the sick and wounded. So keep the good work up. France is surely a beautiful country with its old fashioned houses of stone plaster and red tile roofs. Its well paved country roads, the beautiful green fields and its many places of historic interest What attracted my attention most prominently at first was the Well built roads which are met on every hand and the manner in which they are kept up. Beautiful well trained trees are placed on either side not alone for beauty and shade but for a protection from washouts during the rainy seson. Piles of crushed rock at regular intervals are Been along the roads for instant repair work. When they suface a road for any distance just one side is done at a time so traffic is not delayed. I have visited many places of historic interest. Some time ago I was at Domreray the birthplace of Joan of Arc. I vfsited church in which she was baptised also the house in which she was born. Air crafts are in the air over us nearly all the time and while we are not very near to the front line trenches we have an occaaioal thrill when the signal "Air Raid" is sounded.

But putting new wine into old bottles has beens the steady professional occupation of John MasefleldL While many of our cotemporary verse llbrlsts and other experimentalists have been on the hunt for new bottles, sometimes, perhaps, more Interested in the bottle than In the wine, John Maseneld, has been constantly pouring his heady drink Into receptacles 600 years old. In subjectmatter and in language he Is not In the least "traditional," not at all Victorian; he is wholly modern, new, cotemporary. Yet while he draws his fhemes and his heroes from his own Experience, his Inspiration as a poet comes directly from Chaucer, who died in 1400. He is, indeed, the Chaucer of today; the most closely akin to Chaucer—not only in temperament, but in literary manner—of all the writers of the twentieth century.—The Bookman. Mere Men. More than 1,500 years ago—perhaps on the day, let us say, that Charlemagne died—a great red cedar tree fell In the forests of what Is now Cunuda. Today from tho prostrate trunk sound ml cedar shingles are being cut. for the dwellings of mere man— and red cedar shingles outlive, in their usefulness, the oldest of men, observes a writer. Straddling the fallen giant are the stumps of three other cedars, charred by ages of forest fires, but marked with the rings which proclaim their fifteen centuries of growth.

MORTENSON Swallows Nest on Ferryboat A pair of birds with a taste"for travel Is a family of swallows which has made a home in a life preserver'aboard the port commission's ferryboat Issaquah, says an exchange. While the ferry boat crosses the lake these birds dart back and forth on their business, catching fat spiders and worms for the nestlings. Sometimes, when the ferry boat fe close to land, the swallows go ashore for supplies and easily overtake their floating home again. Before they nest wild birds often appear timorous, Sometimes, in spite of this natural fear, they choose nests in very public places, and once they have nested they almost invariably stay by their homes, running what must be to them frightful risks in order to care for their eggs and fledglings.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, Mar. 7, J918 No. JO UY1NG IN CITIES flesidents Are Not as Neighborly as in Country. (Ufa In Metropolitan Municipalities la I a Battle for Existence, With No • ~ Tlmo for Sociability. r" "Who, then, is my neighbor?" the jaan "In the city pent" auks himself, AS he regards a row of similar house fronts and reflects on the fact that he (Las only a nodding acquaintance at (peat with the majority of the inmates. Interdependence is fostered by the conditions of living in the country. Ordinarily we do not need the help of the next house, near or far. But let fire come, or a destructive storm, or a predatory visitor, or a serious ill* ness, and the neighbor may be as welcome as angels, says a writer in Philadelphia Ledger. City life is often a battle of the strong, because there are crowds and there are many mouths to feed and many shuffling feet to be shod. If we let ourselves think of it, the vast multitude of Identities striving to establish themselves is almost terrifying. Where did so many people come from? Where jkre they all going? How are they to find a lodging for the night? Each of the moving swarm is the center of a circle of friends. The humblest, unless deeply unfortunate, has ties that bind him to earth and make life—in a degree—dear to him. Out of the pagan wilderness to the urban lights and roarings comes bucolic youth. What will the city do to that unsophlstlcatlon? Or In what way will Its rugged, innocent power in time come to prevail upon the city? Your shrewdest, hardest captain of business closes his eyes at his desk and Is taken back to murmurous water brooks and bees, to the aroma <rt hay, jof ktne, of burning leaves, to the r6ound of the whetted scythe or the sight of baked apples in the window of the woodshed. W*iy can't they brown flapjacks or beans or concoct apple sauce or oatmeal as they did down on the ft ilie table was always big enough (for the unexpected guest An egg or a [quart of milk was no such great event [as it Is in a city. There used to be jtlme, too, to settle the affairs of the borough and the nation, to discuss Horace Greeley and to wind the clock, petween supper and early bedtime. I We have filtration, and the vacuum leaner, and the servant question, and 11 the other city advantages. But It The first division consist* of articles formerly brought from foreign nations, largely from GermanV. while the second is made up of articles formerly made in the northern French districts now occupied by the Invader, which are now being manufactured in southern France. Interesting Experiment. Experiments just completed by tw*) French scientists have reopened that controversy whether rudimentary man* ifestations of life can be produced la. inorganic matter. These men took a] glass tube containing a solution of colloidal silica, sealed it by melting the Class and subjected tube and contents to a high temperature, long enough to sterilize them thoroughly, according to all current ideas of sterilisattott. The tube was then kept moderately warm for two months, and when; opened the contents were full of living bacteria. Objectors contend that the colloidal silica probably operates to protect bacteria originally in the solution from the effects of the heat sterilization. Rotary Tooth Brushes. Inventors seem to be paying a great deal of attention to rotary tooth brushes lately. Many patents have bee» granted on devices of this kind, son* of which are distinctly Ingenious. Some of these devices depend for the rotary movement upon the tightening and ; loosening of the grip on a pair of has> dies, and it appears that the polishing member is exceptionally well suited tc reach tooth surfaces that are well-nigh inaccessible with present tooth brushes Furthermore, there appears to be less danger of Injuring the gums with the rotary type of toothbrush, for the reason that few people take the trouble tc use the flat brush properly. Waste of Energy. Much "talk" in the rearing and training of children could i>e .eliminated with great benefit to both child, and parent. One sees and feels constantly the Inconsistency of dissertalsfns (as to manners and motives) to children from parents who are themselves signal failures as far as the effectiveness and efficiency of their own lives are concerned, observes the New York Evening Telegram, We must curb the "don't" and the "do" to our children and also to our associates until our own manner of conversation Is more Indicative of real thought than the average chatter and talk of women would sometimes signify.

Ds«td ftoMrts1 Vat. Co., 100 Grand Avenue, Waukesha, W l i ; MIBITSSS^^H ST/HTiNG PLANTS OF CERTAIN CROPS BEFORE DANGER OF FROST HAS PASSED Cold Frame W i t h Cloth Cover, Suitable f o r G r o w i n g Plants Not Requiring W a r m t h of a Hotbed. (Prepare U by t h e U n i t e d S t a t e s Departm e a i of A g n n . l t ure.) In most sections of the South It is desirable to start plants of certain crops before the danger of frost has passed. The simplest method of starting a limited number of plants is by means of a shallow box in a south window of the dwelling. After I hi* plants uppoar, the box should be turned each (lay, to prevent t h e plants drawing toward the light. A more satisfactory method of s t a r t i n g plants is by means of hotbeds or cold frames. A hotbed b feet by G feet will be large enough for tin* average-sized garden and can be ('(instructed r a t h e r cheaply. In the colder regions of the South some form of heat should be supplied. Fresh manure from the horse stable will be found satisfactory for this purpose. Turn the m a n u r e two or three times before placing it in the bed. in order to make it uniform in composition and nierlumical condition. Make the excavation for tlu» bed about IS inches deep :ual put in 15 to IS inches of fresh manure, packing It well by trampling. Arrange a frame over the manure, so the slope will be to the south. Place 4 oi" f> inches of good garden loam over the manure and cover the frame with a hotbed sash or heavy canvas, preferably the former. The manure will heat quite rapidly for the first few days. During t h a t time ventilate the bed frequently, to allow the gases to escape and to lower the temperature. The seeds should not be planted until the t e m p e r a t u r e goes down to SO degress or S5 degrees F. After the .seeds have been planted, close attention should be given to the watering and ventilation of t h e bed. The soil should never be til lowed to dry out, hut it should not be kept water-soaked. Moisture Is necessary for the germination of the seed and for the growth of the plants, hut an excess of moisture should be avoided, as it stimulates the development of diseases, especially damping-off. W a t e r should be applied early enough in the day to allow the plants to dry before night. Ventilate the beds during the heated portion of the day, but cover them in time to insure their warming up enough to prevent chilling t h e plants during the night. In the lower South, cold frames may bp used instead of hotbeds, ami canvas or cotton cloth covers instead of glass. T h e illustration shows a type of frame commonly used In the warmer section of the South for starting plants. T r a n s p l a n t i n g . For the best results, plants started in boxes, hoth+Mis. ur cold frames should be t r a n s p l a n t e d when they reach a Uf-fght of 1 to ii inches. Transplanting' tends to produce uniform, stocky plants with a well-developed root system. The seedlings may be transplanted to boxes or to the hotbed or cold frame, to stand about 2 Inches apart each way. Some growers transplant twice before setting in the open ground. Fig. 5 shows two celery plants from the s a m e seeding. The one at the left was transplanted, while that at the right was allowed to remain in the seedbed until time for planting in the garden. H a r d e n i n g Off. I'lants growing in a honse, hotbed, or cold frame should be hardened off before they are transplanted to the garden. This can be accomplished by ventilation and exposure to outdoor conditions during the day in good weather. If the plants are in a hotbed or cold frame, the covers may be removed during the day when the weather is good and replaced toward nightfall. After danger of frosts is past the covers may he left off at night. Hy the time the plants art1 large enough to be transplanted to the garden they should be thoroughly accustomed to outdoor conditions. Such plants usually withstand the transfer to the garden with little check and few losses. Setting Plants in the Open Ground. llefore taking the plants from the bed it should he thoroughly watered and the water allowed to soak into the ground. This will insure a portion of the soil adhering to the roots and will prevent serious wilting or the checking of growth. Take up the plants with a trowel or spade and pack them in boxes or baskets in which to carry them to the held, The land should be in good condition and everything should he ready for quick operation when planting time arrives. Mark off the rows or dig the holes for the plants just before planting to prevent the drying of the soil. If possible, set the plants on a cloudy day or just before nightfa". When tile soil Is very dry it is advisable tc use a little water in the hole. The water should be applied when the hole is partially tilled with soil, and the moist earth should then be covered with dry soil to prevent baking. Plants should be set a trido deeper in the gardon than they were in the plant bed. Pack the soil thoroughly around the plants, st) as to avoid air spaces.

FIELD PEA AS FORAGE CROP SMUT STILL IS WORTHLESS Well Adapted to N o r t h e r n Portion of U n i t e d States f o r Spring and Summer G r o w t h . (From the United States Department of Agriculture) One of the first crops to be planted In t h e spring—and in some cases one of t h e best—Is the field pea known In some localities as t h e Canadian field pea. It deserves even wider use than has been jriven it according to a recent publication, F a r m e r s ' Bulletin 690. entitled " T h e Field Pen as H Forajre Crop," published by the U. S. department of ajrriculture. Since t h e field pea requires a cool temperature during its growth, it is well adapted for spring and summer Uowth In the n o r t h e r n portion of the United States and in the comparatively high altitudes of the Rocky Mountain region, and for winter prowth in the lower South. It is useful on *tlie farm as a rotation crop for hay, prain, silnjre or jrreen m a n u r e , a n d the pea* may 1»e used in t h e preen s t a t e as a vegetable like garden pejTs, It Deteriorates G r a i n (t Grows in anr* Make It Sell for Less Money— Use Formaldehyde.

The world has a surplus of other materials, it would seem, from .statistics, and yet the foundation stone of conservation will extend throughout the fashionable clothes "for the period of the war." The fundamental idea of saving has so penetrated the cousdousru-ss o r o u r people, t h e propaganda is s o widespread and vital, writes Aiine UiUen- Jersey frock for young girl.

There a r e changes fn a nation t h a t do not create surprise when they a r e thrust upon it by an invading army in war, but the change in America is one of spirit. There Is money a-plenty, men hy the millions, Industries a t full speed, and yet, with wealth and resources, 100,000,000 people have turned a somersault in their attitude toward material possessions. The passion for conservation wiped Slim Little Clothes. out of existence the fashion for flowing robes made of plenteous material. Whenever a slim silhouette h a s been thrust into the fashions, whenever an extremely short and narrow skirt ha* been offered to women, critics galore have risen in their bickerings and denounced women as immodest, indecent and vain to the uttermost degree. There is no such bickering today, however. T h e critics- of women's clothes remain silent.

T h e r e a r e some lovely white voiles, either plain with an embroidered border or cross-barred sprinkled with embroidered flowers. These a r e all white. A few new models in serge and jersey a r e being shown, but they do not differ materially frora t h e winter output in design. However, one of the best m a n u f a c t u r e r s has used no satin In the m a k e u p of his new serge models and they depend entirely on line and detail for their distinction. One of the smart shops shows fi model in green and white checked velours with a dark green suede belt. T h e r e is a very interesting fabric being u s e d by one manufacturer. I t Is a s i f t t a d wool grenadine which has a very o p e n weave, even In the finer . flMUtty. T h e coarser weave, which £ • • tiny knots all over its surface. Is extremely good-looking and tho>e g a r m e n t s rurUed in rile closer, mind it well, fur in a few weeks you may be able to swing u <m with the bravado adopted by all those women who are in war activities or would like to be. Capes, and long waistcoats that reach half way to the knees, are substitutes for coais in the absence of suits, although the really smart thing is the Eton or the bolero jacket, as far as t h e American fashions a r e concerned. The early French clothes sent to this country before the present exhibitions In Paris showed the short jacket cut much after the manner of those worn by the French soldiers l a Algiers, and often supplemented by the brilliant scarlet or yellow sash or an immense suede belt pulled through several btickles in front. The Eton jacket is not for the woman with hips, however, and unless she has been able to reduce her figure t o the proportions of a planked shad, it is wiser for her t o look upon other models with more approval. T h e r e a r e short coats that hang straight from the shoulders to a finger length below the waist and are slightly belted in such a manner that the waistline is casually defined. Because of its limitations, this short Jacket cannot be the ruling fashion. None know t h a t better than t h e French artists, so they have sent over loose coats of silk poplin, and t h e American designers have turned out a new c a p e which reaches to t h e hips, is slim in outline and fastens a t the neck with a high rolling collar. The Revival of Lace. S t a r t i n g o u t with t h e foundation stone of the new P a r i s fashions, which are based on the conservation of other materials t h a n wool, and remembering well t h a t you must not bulge or flare or to provoke discussion as to your e x t r a v a g a n c e in t h e usage of fabric, then i t is wise to go on to the minor adjuncts of fashion. T h e revival of silk poplin is a bit of news that appeals to the majority of women. You know, this fabric makes admirable coat suits, and with the modern activity of nearly every woman in this country, there will not be such a wide demand as usual for frocks that need constant cleaning and laundering. T h e late spring and summer will probably usher in a vast array of women dressed in silk poplin. Shantung, t h e thiDnest gaberdine, satin and dark foulard. T h e tailored suit which is adopted by such numbers of women doing active relief work, h a s already set its impress upon the fashions, and it is quite probable, despite the talk of the dressmakers, that coat suits of silk poplin in black, beige, brown and blue will rise to unusual heights of popularity. L e t us hope this may come about. D i n n e r gowns are of black, white and cream lace, and they are elaborately touched up with t h r e a d s of silver and gold. Scant lace flounces a r e draped over slim linings of satin and taffeta. Lace bodices will b e returned for usage under coat suits, and blouses t h a t fall below the waist and are girdled with vividly colored ribbons, will be added to suits of white flannel, mntelasse and jersey. By the way, white flannel has sidled into the limelight. P a l m Beach approves of it. Smart women say they like it b e t t e r than jersey.

H e h a s discovered that until as late as 1855 only flickering sperm oil /and candles were In use. Not until tinfollowing decade did the "highly Improved" kerosene lamp appear. Gas did not come out until the period between 1885 and 1875. And then only the wealthy could use it. It sold at 9&G6 per 1,000 cubic feet! The efficient Welsbaeh mantle came out ten years later, revolutionizing artificial 11- lnmination. The present era began iu 1886, when gas and electricity came Into general use. Since this time the ( a s mantle and the electric filament seen vast improvement, so that today the average family is obtaining about eighteen times as much light as the people of half a century ago had, though they pay only about three-quarters a s much for it as their grandfathers did for the dim lights of other days. v : 5 1 - i HMIa and Barrows. At one time the term harrows was applied to hills and mountains of any elevation, but was later restricted to lower elevations. Now the word applies to mounds of earth or stones Raised over graves, and designated as •epnlchral mounds. Barrows are among the most important mountains of primitive peoples. They are found In Great ftltain, other sections of Europe, In Worth America and Asia. In the more ancient barrows the bodies are found {lying extended on the ground with implements and weapons of stone or bone beside them. In barrows of later date the implements a r e of bronze, and kOQetlmes, though rarely, of Iron, while t h e remains are often Inclosed in a •tone or earthenware cist and doubled Up.' Where the body was burned the taihef were usually deposited in an I jttrn. T h e numerous barrows of North America are generally classed along th other ancient earthworks as >ds or burial mounds. Liza'U Squirts Blood From Eyes. 1 V^ajtiave about fourteen species of Wrnfd lizards in this country, and most people still call them "horned toads." Some of their habits are extremely remarkable, hul none more so than their ability to send at will a tine jet of blood from either eye. This tact Is very rarely touched upon in literature, and the average reader of the life histories of our animals has never heard of this remarkable habit, says a writer In Popular Science Monthly, iu an article entitled, "A Lizard That Squirts Jets of Blood From Its Eyes." Blood-squirting is generally indulged In when the lizard is laboring under certain states of excitement. The attack comes on suddenly, at a time when you have the lizard in your grasp. It will suddenly stiffen Its neck and throw the head upward, as the eyes bulge from their sockets. In another second you can plainly hear a peculiar hissing sound, followed immediately by the finest imaginable jet of pure blood from one or the other of it« eyes. With such force is this squirted that the tiny stream, lasting a couple of seconds, may be thrown to a distance of fully five feet. ubscribe for the Pinckney Dispatch AUCTION. f#--4 • CLINTON, Auctioneer Haying decided to discontinue farming, I will sell at public :tion on my farm, four miles Northwest of Pinckney and one half Sonth of Gilk's Cemetery H U R S D A Y , M A R C H F O U R T E E N T H , >mmencing at One O'clock.

Feed Pain, the Sentinel. Ninety per cent of all of our diseases are ushered in with pain, and In most Instances the pain is either in<he head or is very quickly reflected there. In this connection. Dr. W. H. Vail writes in the Christian Herald, it is Interesting to remember that the brain rarely suffers pain. In fact, this Is the truth with most deep seated Organs. Surgeons assure us that in operations, cutting through the brain substance causes little or no pain, and we know that hemorrhages in the brain interfere with the functions of that organ, yet cause no pain. Paradoxical as it may seem, in one sense, it is a sign of a certain degree of | health to be able to experience a head- '• ache, for It Indicates that the brain hag not lost its power to warn Its owner of impending danger. I Cats of Japan and Cuba. A statement is made by Professor Morse concerning the cats of Japan which we do not remember to have heard before; namely, thut all the cats there a r e of the Manx breed, or at least tailless. A cat's tail is used like that of a kangaroo, to balance the body when the animal reaches up with its forward limbs; hence, we are told, the Japanese believe that the cats' tails in their country were originally cut off to prevent them from standing on their hind legs to pull things down to the floor. "This idea," says the author, "is paralleled In Cuba, where the ears of a cat are cut off to prevent it from roaming in the cane fields. The sudden showers that fall In the tropics are annoying to cats, inasmuch as the rain gets Into their ears, and this they particularly loathe. Sal-Vet NOW!

For Little Brown Men. In Japan the early part of the month of May is gala time for all little Japanese boys, because ft Is at that time that the birthday of every one of them is celebrated, notes a writer. The big, general birthday party is familiarly known as the "fish festival." During the fish festival every family in which there is a boy proudly heralds the fact by a flag that floats from a pole in the dooryard. It Is desirable to have as tall and as big a pole as possible; so, in order to get this kind of a pole, it frequently happens that several families will club together and make one birthday pole do for all. This pole is then adorned with as many flags as there are little boys in the several families. An Optimist When the stock market was in the midst of a bad break which proved ruinous to many, two brokers who were caught in the pinch met and compared notes, relates the Cleveland Leader. As they talked a big, happy looking' man passed, calling out cheerily to | some friends. "Who Is he?" asked the i first broker. The other took a good look at the big fellow, whom he recognized as a plunger who had made a fortune, within a few days. "Huh," he said, "he's an optimist" "What is an optimist those days?" gloomily asked the other. Said the second broker: "The kind of a man, son, who when things a r e coming his way tells other people not to worry." § 8 g li a ft • • ».* ».: ft ft g I1 0 8 ft f&t 8 fftt fftt fftt : ; TEEPLE HARDWARE CO.

The ore is mined at an altitude of some 10,000 feet, and carried to the valley below by pack-mules. The mules carry only small loads, two-thirds of which consist of fodder and provisions. Several days are required to wind down the tortuous path on the mountain side.

A new type of ballot box has been patented which guards against election frauds by stamping each ballot as It is deposited, by counting the votes, and by remaining closed except when operated by a special key. i This box is also provided with a small crank that Is connected with the stamping and recording apparatus. It is so made that when the locking device is released, the turning of the crank admits the ballot to the container, records the vote by adding one to the number In the open-face register, and stamps the sheets with any desired legend In such a way that two ballots cannot be cast at once and both be marked properly. Pleated With H i t Story. In a letter written to W. D. Howells by Mark Twain In 1880. when he was writing "The Prince and the Pauper," he says he takes so much pleasure in his story that he Is in no hurry to get it done and off his hands. He adds: "Imagine this fact—I have even fascinated Mrs. Clemens with this yarn for youth. My stuff generally gets considerable damning with faint praise out of her, but this time it Is all the other way. She is become the horseleech's daughter and my mill doesn't grind fast enough to suit her. This is no mean triumph, ray dear sir." R.

Since the beginning of the war, the nations of Europe have sent quantities of gold to our shores. So, as far as gold Is concerned, we are richer than ever before, comments a financial exchange. But gold, except that portion of it which Is made Into gold foil, or used for gilding, or made into Jewelry, or otherwise employed In the arts, has no value In Itself. Gold. In general, is only a symbol of value, of use for buying; and if the goods are not at hand to be bought, the gold is valueless. You cannot eat It. or drink It, you cannot warm yourself with It. As a financial writer said the other day, "If gold were to be discovered In the same quantities in which copper Is found, it would be as beautiful and as useful in the arts and sciences aa before, but we should have to atop using it for money, it to bay a pair of ahoea, and the price of the shoes would be about $7,?SftO.'* 400 T Y P E W R I T E R S REMINGTON $ 1 2 SMITH-PREMIERS $ 1 2 Let Your Children Learn Typewriting at Home during Vacation, instruction Book FREE.

Agricultural Department Asks Increased Pork Production and Larger Acreage of Grain Crops. Washington, I). 0 . - The planting of an Increased acreage to spring wheat and the production of an increased supply of other food products ami of live stock, especially hogs, Is recommended in a supplementary food production program Issued by the United States department of agriculture. This program re-emphasizes and amplifies t h e food-production program for 1918 issued by the department in August, 1917, and other suggestions made In t h e fall and the first of this year regarding Increased pork production and increased production of foodstuffs In the South. Taken in connection with t h e recommendations previously made, it suggests in full the proposals which the department thinks it desirable to offer with a view to secure enough meat and dairy products, cereals, sugar and other staple and perishable foods, wool and cotton for the nation, its armies, and the allies. Tt gives suggestions for t h e approaching spring operations, based upon the latest available information as to the condition of the fall-planted crops of w-inter wheat and rye and a s to the number of meat and dairy animals reported for 1917. They represent the best thought of the specialists of t h e department who have had the benefit of advice from agricultural leaders throughout the country. Our Bert Efforts Required. "Notwithstanding an Increased nrt> duction of staple crops In t h e United States in 1917. there is need for more food," the program states. "Taking Into account our own needs, t h e needs of the nations associated with us in this war, and the needs of friendly neutral nations, our best efforts will be required to provide enough food in 1918. Whether the war continues or not, the demands on this country, because of t h e increasing population and the npeds of Europe will be great. An especially strong demand will be made on this country for meats and live stock. In 1917, notwithstanding the j many difficulties encountered, t h e farmers planted the largest acreages i In the history of the nation, harvested j | record crops of most things except j wheat, and succeeded in greatly in- | creasing the number of live stock." | "The situation is such that chief em- I phasis should be given to the produej tion of t h e great staple food products, with special stress on wheat and hogs, the leading war foods." The South is urged to provide food for its own people and feed for its live j stock and then to plant as much cotton as can well he cultivated and harvested, To raisers of hogs and beef animals the world need for meats and fats is made clear. Farmers a r e urged Resort owners fear they may \ t 0 equip soldiers. to import frog legs this sumgas would be sold at 85 cents per l.oon sharnis, of Allenville, were killed when j to join with the men on the ranges in cubic feet by t h e city.

Spring Wheat. In defiling with the question of spring wheat, the program s t a t e s : The acreage of spring wheat should be increased in order to make certain that we shall have an adequate supply of wheat f o r our own uses and to meet the needs of the allies. '•While t h e area of winter wheat sown in 1017 was the largest on record, the condition of the crop, a s reported on December 1, was the lowest ever recorded, indicating a probable production of only 540,000,000 bushels. Whether t h e actual production will be greater or less than the estimate will depend upon conditions prevailing between now and the time of harvest. If there were planted to spring wheat in the United States this year a n acreage equal to t h e sum of the record planting in each spring wheat state within t h e last ten years, there would be sown approximately 23,300,000 acres. If there should be planted an acreage equal to the sum of the record planting for each state within t h e last five years there would be sown approximately 21,000,- 000 acres. The record planting for any year was 20,881,000. in 1911. The acreage for 1917 was 18,511,000. "The department of agriculture h a s carefully studied ell these records a n d other d a t a in connection with the present w a r conditions and needs, and believes t h a t it will be possible this year to secure a n acreage in excess of t h e record acreage which w a s planted in 1811. I t is believed that increased acreages can be secured in s t a t e s a n d sections where spring-wheat production is known to be reasonably promising, and t h a t such increases c a n be made without upsetting farm plans. It is hoped that many farmers, especially in t h e northern part of t h e corn belt, will find it possible t o plant five to ten acres additional in w h e a t In some cases they will plant more. In a number of states in the eustern and central portions of the couutry where spring wheat h a s not been gruvvn in n-ceru years, t h e crop Is now being reestablished and tt is recommended lhal tins movement be encouraged. To a small extent the acreage in oats, If necessary, could be reduced in the interest of wheat. Likewise, a very small portion of t h e acreage which normally wuuld be planted to 'k corn in the northern part of the corn belt might be sown to s p r i n t wheat. If t h e acreage of spring wheat indicated for some of the states cannot be planted, t h e barley acreage, which is known to grow better in some localities, mi^ht be increased. T h e use of barley for food is increasing in this country and it is a welcome food in Lurope. Summary of Other Recommendations. Following is a summary of other important recommendations regarding cereals, meat, poultry, and perishables. Hogs. T h e number of hogs should be increased by at least 15 p e r cent during the year 1018. Sugar. Effort should be made to maintain the acreage of sugar cane and sugar beets, and to increase these areas in so far a s these crops a r e wHl established or a r e necessary to sound agricultural practice. Production of satisfactory substitutes for sugar, including sorghum, corn and cane sirup, maple products and honey can a n d should be increased. Sorghum sirup, it is pointed out, may be produced in nearly every state in the Union, and increased production of sorghum sweets would enable t h e public to conserve still further the sugar supply In the form most available for transportation to o u r soldiers. Dairy Products. T h e supply of dairy products should be maintained to meet the needs of this country and to help supply t h e increasing d e m a n d s of the allies. Poultry. Poultry production should be increased greatly, especially in back yards and on farms where waste material is available and the purchase of expensive grains and other material Is not required. Corn. An acreage of corn approximately equal to that of 1917 should be planted, with possible slight reductions in certain sections to free areas for spring wheat. Oats, Barley, Rice, Buckwheat a n d Flaxseed. T h e area in oats should be maintained, especially in regions and on soils which a r e not so well adapted to other grains, but with a small reduction to provide for increasing the wheat acreage, Barley production should be increased in regions where it grows best, especially in t h e northern edge of the corn belt and in sections north and west of t h e belt ; and rice, buckwheat and flaxseed production should be maintained and, if possible, increased, Grain Sorghums. T h e production of grain sorghums (kafir, milo, feterita, e t c ) should be increased greatly throughout t h e drier portion of the Plains region. Kafirs a r e t h e most certain grain crops in this section a n d they can be made to supplement wheat ns human food and to replace corn a s animal food. Potatoes. T h e normal acreage of Irish a n d sweet potatoes should be maintained in 1918, notwithstanding the large crops in 1917. Hay, Forage and P a s t u r e s . Wherever feasible, t h e area devoted to hay, forage and silage crops should be increased and these products should be used to n greater extent in place of grains and other concentrates, Beef Animals, T h e number of beef animals should be maintained and, In areas where it is clearly the best range and farm practice, should be increased. Beans, Peas and Peanuts. T h e production of beans a n d peas should be increased in regions to which they a r e adapted, because of their high food value, keeping qualities, a n d availability for domestic or export trade. Soy beans and peanuts should be increased In order t o supplement beans a n d peas as human food, a s a source of much needed oil, and as animal feeds. Perishables, ( a ) Market gardens near large consuming centers should be increased so a s to meet, a s nearly as possible, the needs of t h e community, and in order to obviate the necessity of transporting such products from distant points. It is important to de all t h a t is possible to relieve t h e strain upon transportation facilities. (b) T h e planting of home gardens, especially for family needs and for preserving food for future use, again should b e emphasized. U. S.

T h e bill gives t h e p r e s i d e n t a free hand, unlimited even by la.w, in t h e control of the railroads during t h e w a r and, a s it stands now, provides t h a t the railroads shall be subject to all laws governing common c a r r i e r s , insofar a s such laws do n o t conflict with any orders issued by t h e president. The only a m e n d m e n t radically changing t h e compromise draft, provided for inclusion of " s h o r t line" railroads in federal control a n d benefits. Provisions of t h e c o m m i t t e e compromise, fixing t h e compensation of railroads to t h e three-year basis, providing t h e $500,000,000 revolving fund appropriation, authorizing t h e president to initiate rates subject to inters t a t e commerce commission veto, and limiting government control to IS m o n t h s after t h e war, all were retained by t h e senate. Director General McAdoo h a s opposed t h e legislation for t h e "short lines" on t h e ground t h a t no railroads except those selected a s necessary t o government unification a n d successful operation should be brought within federal direction and aid. Determined efforts to reduce t h e gove r n m e n t compensation to railroad owners failed. As passed, t h e measure provides that approximately ,?f>-1 r>,- 000,000 will be g u a r a n t e e d t h e c a r r i e r s . based upon their s t a n d a r d n e t return for t h e three-year period ending J u n e 30, 1917.

They might drive to town, or go to a social, or something." "Can't do It. Haven't a cent." "Well, I guess I can lend you a little," w a s t h e smiling reply. I t was a standing joke in the family t h a t Carol had been financially hard pressed ever since she began using powder several years previous. "Are you fond of Jim, Carol?" Lark jumped away backward in t h e conversation, asking the question gravely, her eyes upon her sister's face. " H u m ! Yes, I am," w a s t h e light retort. "Didn't Prudence teach us to love everybody?" "Don't be silly. I mean If he proposes to you, are you going to turn him down, or not?" " W h a t would you advise, L a r k ? " Carol's brows were painfully knitted. "He's got five hundred acres of land, worth at least a hundred an acre, and a lot of money in the bank—his mother didn't say how much, but I imagine several thousand anyhow. And he h a s that nice big house, and nn auto, and— oh, everything nice! Think of t h e fruit trees, L a r k l e ! And h e ' s goodlooking, too. And his mother says he is always good-natured even before breakfast, and that's very exceptional, .you know ! Very ! I don't know that I could do much better, do you, auntie? I'm sure I'd look cute Ui a sunbonnet and apron, milking t h e cows ! So, boss, so, there, n o w ! So, boss!" v Why, Carol !" "But there a r e objections, too, They have pigs. I can't bear pigs! Pooooey, pooooey! T h e filthy little t h i n g s ! I don't know—Jim and t h e gray suit and the auto and the cows a r e very nice, but when I think of J i m a n d overalls a n d pigs and onions and freckles I have goose flesh. Here they come! Where's that other slipper? Oh, it's clear under t h e bed.!" She wriggled after it, coming o u t again breathless. "Did I rub t h e powder all off?" she asked, anxiously. The low honk of t h e c a r sounded outside, and the twins dumped a miscellaneous assortment of toilet articles into the battered suit-case and the tattered hand bag. Carrol grabbed her hat from Connie, leisurely strolling through t h e hall with it, and sent h e r flying after her gloves. "If you can't find mine, bring your own," she called after h e r . Aunt Grace a n d Connie escorted them triumphantly down t h e walk to the waiting car where t h e young man in the new sentimental gray suit stood beside t h e open door. H i s face w a s boyishly eager, and his eyes were full of a satisfaction that had a sort of excitement in it, too, Aoftt Grace looked at him and stfJtfdL bay,'* « h e ^ V t h t h g T H e s a t t t i I t t h e twins impartially. **8ha!l we flip a coin t o see who I get in front?" he asked them, laughing. His mother leaned out from the back seat, and smiled a t t h e girls very cordially. "Hurry, twinnies," she said, "wo must start, or we'll b e late for supper. Come in with me, won't you, L a r k i e r "What a greasy schemer she i s , " thought Carol, climbing into her place without delay. Jim placed the battered suitcase and the tattered bag beneath t h e seat and drew t h e r u g over his mother's knees. Then h e went to Lark's side, and tucked it carefully about her feet. "XV» awfully dnsty," h e said. "Ton shouldn't have dolled u p so. Shall I put your purse in my pocket? Don't forget you promised to feed the chickens— Vm counting on you t o do it for me.** Then be stepped In beside Carol, laughing into her brig' * face, and the good-by* rang back u i forth a s the car rolled away beneath the heavy arch of oak leaves that roofed In Maple avenue. The twins fairly reveled In the glories of the country through the golden days that followed, and enjoyed every minute of every day, and begrudged the hours they spent in sleep. The rime slipped by "like banana skins," declared Carol crossly, and refused to explain her camps rtaoa, day of their visit came. Supper was over at seven o'clock and Lark said, with something of wisituiness in her voice, "I'm gciing out to the orchard tor a farewell weep a!i by mysell. AIM! don't any of you disturb me I'm MJ ugly when I cry." iSo siie set out alone, and Jim, a little awkwardly, suggested that Carol take a turn or so up and down the lane with him. Mrs. Forrest stuod at the window and watched liiem, teur- I'll bet ,- ful-eyed, but with tenderness. "AJy little boy," she Said to herself, i "my little boy. Luc she's a dear, sweet, pretty girl." In the meantime, Jim was acquitting himself badly. J lis face was pale. lie was nervous, ill at ease, l i e stamuiwed when he spoke. Sell-consciousness w a s not habitual to this young man uf t h e Iowa farm. He was not iin awkward, ignorant, gangling farmhand we meet in books and see on stages. He hud attended the high school in Mount Mark, and had been graduated from the state agricultural college with high honors. He was a farmer, a s his father had been before him, but he was a farmer of the new era, one of those men who lakes plain farming and makes it a profession, almost a fine a r t . Usually he was selfpossessed, assertive, confident, but, in the presence of this sparkilug twin, for" once he w a s abashed. Carol w a s in an ecstasy of delight. She was not a man-eater, perhaps, but she was early romance-mad. The callow youths of Mount Mark, of t h e Epworth league, and the college, were almost unanimous in laying their adoration at Carol's feet. But Carol saw the elasticity, the buoyancy, of loves like these, and she couldn't really count them. She felt that she was ripe for a bit of solid experience now, a n d there w a s nothing callow about Jim—he was solid enough. And now, although she could see that his feelings stirred, she felt nothing but excitement and curiosity. A proposal, a real o n e ! It w a s imminent, she felt it. "Carol," he began abruptly, "I am in love." "A-are you?" Carol had not expected him to begin in just that way. "Yes; I have been for a long time, with t h e sweetest and dearest girl in the world. I know I am not half good enough for her, but—I love her so much that—I believe I could make her happy." "D-do you?" Carol was frightened. She reflected that it wasn't so much fun as she had expected. There was something wonderful in his eyes, and in his voice. Maybe Lark was right — maybe it did h u r t ! Oh, she really shouldn't have been quite so nice to h i m ! "She is young—so am I—but I know what I want, and if I can only have her. I'll do anything 1—" His voice broke a little. He looked very handsome, very grown-up, very manly. Carol quivered. She wanted to run away and cry. She wanted to put her a r m s around him and tell him she was very, very sorry and she would never do it again a s long a s she lived and breathed. "Of course," he went on, "L am not a fool. I know there isn't a girl like her in ten thousand, but—she's the one I want, and—Carol, do you reckon there is any chance for me? You ought to know, Lnrk doesn't have secrets from you, does she? Do you think she'll have me?" Certainly this w a s t h e surprise of Carol's life. If it w a s romance s h e wanted, here it w a s In plenty. She stopped short in t h e daisy-bright lane und stared a t him. "Jim Forrest," she demanded, "is it Lark you want to marry, or me?" "Lark, of course!" Carol opened h e r lips and closed them. She did it again. Finally she t b e idiots! If Co marry Lark, what in t h e world are yon out here proposing to me for?" "I'm n o t proposing to you," he objected. "I'm just telling you about i t " . "But w h a t t o r ? What's t h e object? Why don't you go and rave to her?" He smiled a little. "Weil, I guess I thought telling you first was OB* t , a y of breaking it to fc«r-fentljr." "I'm perfectly disgusted with yon." Carol went on, "perfectly. Here I've been expecting you to propose to me all week, and—" "Propose t c y o u ! My s t a r s ! " "Don't interrupt me," Carol snapped. "Last night I lay awake for hours— look at the rings beneath my eyes—" "I don't see 'em,** he interrupted again, smiling more broadly. "Just thinking o u t a good flowery rejection for you, and then you trot me out here and propose to Lark! Well, if that isn't nerve!" Jim laughed loudly at this. He was used to Carol, and enjoyed her little outbursts. "I can't think what on earth made yon Imagine I'd want to propose to you,** he said, shaking his head a s though appalled s t the idea, Carol's eyes twiaMed s t that, hot she did not permit him to see i t "Why shouldn't I think so? Didn't you get s new gray suit? And havea't I the hest complexion in Mount Mark? Don't ail the men want to propose to a eemplexiou like miner" He laughed again, then he "Do you think Lark win—" "I ilinik J.ark will turn you iimvi.." said Carol promptly, "and i hope sh« does. Vi.m aren't good enough tor her, No one iii the world *.s ^o.nl enough tor Lark e\<'ep[ m.\Mj!f.

I>ut I don't think .she'll nave you ; I'll he disappoin i ed in her it s h e d o e s . " Carol • wu.s .silent a moment then. She was remembering many i lungs — Lark's grave face thai day in ihe p a r sonage when they had discussed the love of .Ilia, her unwonted genrleness and her quiet manners dui'tug this visit, and one nigtn when Carol, suddenly awakening, had lound her weeping latterly into her pillow. Lark" had said it was a headaeho, and was better now, and Carol had gone to sleep again, but she remembered now that Lark never had headaches ! And she ! einembered how very often lately Lark had put her arms around her shoulders and looked searchingly Into her face, and Lark was always wistful, too, of late! She sighed. Yes, she caught on at last, "'had been pushed on to it," s h e thought angrily. She had been a wicked, blind, hateful little simpleton or she would have seen it long ago. But she uaid nothing of this to Jim. "You'd better r u n along then and switch your proposal over to her, or I'm likely to accept you on my own account, just for a joke. And lie sure and tell her Fin good and sore that I didn't get a chance to use my flowery rejection. But I'm almost sure she'll turn you down." Then Carol stood in the path and watched .lim as he leaped lightly over fences and run through the sweet meadow. She saw Lark spring to her feet and step out from the shade of an apple tree, und then Jim took her in his arms. After that, Carol rushed Into t h e house and up the stairs. She flung herself on her knees beside the bed and buried her face in the white spread. "Lark," she whispered, " L a r k ! " She clenched her hands, and her shoulders shook, "My little twin," she cried again, "my nice old Lark." Then she got up and walked back and forth across the floor. Sometimes she shook her fist. Sometimes a little crooked smile softened her lips. Once she stamped her foot, and then laughed at herself. For on hour she paced up and down, Then she turned on the light and went to the mirror, where she smoothed her hair and powdered her face as carefully as ever. "It's Just a good joke on me." she said, smiling, "but it's just as good a one on Mrs, Forrest. I think I'll go and have a laugh at her, And I'll pretend I knew It nit along." She found the woman lying In a hammock on the broad piazza where a broad shaft of light from the open door fell upon her. Carol stood beside her, smiling brightly. "Mrs. Forrest," 8he said, "I know a perfectly delicious secret. Shall I tell you?" "Cupid h a s been at work," she said softly, "and your own son h a s fallen a victim." Mrs. Forrest sniffed slightly, but she looked lovingly at the fair, sweet face. "I am sure I cannot wonder," she answered ID a gentle voice. "Is it all settled?" "I suppose so. At any rate he Is proposing to her In the orchard, a n d I am pretty sure she's going to accept him." Mrs. Forrest's arms fell away from Carol's shoulders. "Lark !" she ejaculated. "Yes—didn't you know it?" Carol's voice was mildly and innocently surprised. "Lark'." Mrs. Forrest was plainly dumfounded. " I — I thought it w a s you !" "Me!" Carol w a s Intensely astonished. "Me? Oh. dear sirs. Forrest whatever in the world inade-^wa tfcrfikt h a t r "Why—I don't know." she faltered weakly, "T Just naturally supposed it was you. I asked him once where he left his h e a r t and he said, 'At the parsonage,' and so of course I thought It waR you." Carol langhed gayly. "What n Joke." she cried. "But yon a r e more fortun a t e than you expected, for It is my precious old Larkle. Rut don't be too glad about it, or yon may hurt my feelinirs.** *rWell. 1 am surprised, I confess but I believe I like Lark as well as I do you, and of course Jim'* the one to decide. People say Lark Is more sen* sible than yon are, hut It takes a good bit of s man to f c t beyond s face a s pretty a s yours. Tm kind o' proud of J l m T After Fairy's wedding Carol naturally felt lonely. They had been rack constant companions that t h e parting was sorrow fnl for both. Carol's thoughts frequently dwelt oa their days of mischief in the old parsonage before Prudence was married, remembering especially one April foot Jok* that was decidedly on the twins.
